An over-jealous .and Obsequious
partisan of 'Hon. Jos. Powsu i takes
exceptions in the last Argus tol:e
Itsroarsa'inotice of the House ns
mitteei. The language employed Is
just what might be expected from the
most serrlioltorthern doughface, and
we are certain would not be sndo6ed
by Mr. Powsu.
In calling attention to the positions
inaigned Mr. 'Powau. by Speaker
KBltl, we neither desired nor intend
e44 to cast any reflections upon our
worthy Congressman ; our object
simply was to show the injustice of
the Speaker's appointments. •From
Mr. PowELL'a education and busi
ness discipline, he was justlyentitled
to a place on at least one of the more
important committees. He is 'emi
nently fitted for a position on the
Banking Committee, and on that
committee all who know him will ad
mit
that his services might have been
of great service to the country. , No
one feels more keenly the injustice
and impropriety of Mr. Powzi.L'S po
sition than the gentleman hiniself,
and all the special pleadings and npol
ogies of the Argus writer will not s
free to convince any one that Northern
',men were not shabbily treated in the
organization of the House. The i
wri
ter of the article in the Argus h im s elf
furnishes an evidence of the truth of
this assertion. A month's sojonrn
at the Capital, with the warmest pro
fessions of sympathy with his' 4 l mis
guided brethren" of the South, flitted
to gain any substantial recognition.

The opposition prigs and leaders

Gen. GRANT is in some way connect.:
ed with the whisky frauds which
have, through the directions of the
President, been unearthed during
the past year. 'lntelligent readers
want no better refutation of the base
slander than _the President's ;lublic
acts. From the beginning of the
prosecutions until the presentkime,
Gen. GRANT has displayed the great-
I -
est zeal in pressing the prosecutions
instituted against the violatcrs of
the revenue laws. The fact that
charges have been prefeired against
men enjoying his fullest confidence,
has not abated his determination to
have every guilty man punished. In
I;.s
ilew of these facts, the diatri of
his opponents only serve to rai the
President higher in the estimation of
all honest men. History will 4 him
impartial justice, and .his name will
be remembered with gratitude long
after the memory of his detractors

which prompts the attacks upon the
President are too well know. He
conquered at the point of the bayonet
the largest wing df the Demdcratic
party who sought to overthrw the

officer of the government, has i corn-,
pelled obedience to the laws and sub

I
1 and, supported by the
,Democratic
I side, with a few Repuplicans, grant
ing full pardon to all rebels, includ
ing JEFF DAVIS. In accomplishing
this feat, he also compelled the ex-
Confederates in the House to , give
! expression to their true sentiments of
hostility to the government{. Mr.
HILL, of Georgia, boldly asserted
rthat the North was wholly r ponsi..--,
1 ble for the horrors of Ande nville ,
and 'all ' the outrages com itted 1
against Union soldiers. At the con
, elusion of his arraignment of the
government, Mr. HILL was oudly
!
applauded by the Democratic• ide of
the House. Mr. BLAINE, On tl l i ic oth
er hand, is severely criticised lby the
1 rebels for his opposition t:, the
pardon of JEFF Davis, but the loyal
I. ;
1 people of the whole country will en-
1 dome his course. Mr. Hams, in
1
common with nearly all the people 1
1 of the 'North, - is willing to overlook
the crime of treason and rebellion on
i the part of the Southern people, on
1
1 their professions of acquiesence in
I the results of the war; but the! oppo
-1 sition to including Myra is not based
' on the general principle that Mr. DA
: vis was in the rebellion, aided and
,
abetted it, but on the deliberate
charge that DAV.IB, while President
of the Confederacy, was guiltylof the
atrocities of Andersonville Prison,
I the foulest blot on humanitY. He
;accuses DAVIS, that General WIND-1
j 4 11A31, - now dead, went directly from'
his presence with full consent Ito re-
I peat the inhumanities of Anderson
! !
vile, which had been practimd on
I Union prisoners at Richmond.l That
the President of the Confederacy was,
cognizant of the cruelties an atro-
I Cities in vogue, there could 'n t be a
doubt. Compared 'with the eiample
1 of the Duke of Alva in the old World,
1 the horrid cruelties of Libb l y and
Andersonville vastly exceed Mr.
1 BLAINE could not have ralsed a
stronger argument. The mer
of Southeen prison-pens should nerve
every friend, of the Union to place
an ineffaceable stamp on the author
of the long miseries and deaths expe
rienced in them. Winrz was hung

now expects to get back into Con

In the formation of the committees of

accompanied by expletives more foible
than eant, is just now being indulged
in by those who feetthrit their services

much comment; and the prevailing ex

It is, we believe, pretty generally once
dad that Mr. Kerr ha's already made; a-de
cided failure; I althOugh many Of his
friends are stoutly contending that the
selections for the various committees are
the very best that could be mad O. If
such be the case, the Speaker has raced

of the old members of his party,, who,
while they are: pleaded to eittertaln no

not without some legislative experlence.

In this enuteerathel It will he oletereed
that, the ex-Vice President of the rebel
I Confederacy is honored by being Out at
the - head of Weights and Measures ; and
if Jeff Davis bad been a member' of the
I . House, no doubt he' would have received
'
a Chairmanship. We do not know that
we have any objections to make with re
gard to the situation, the fight is not
oars ; and we only t: make this emunera
tion •of the Committees to shont- what
power is now ruling hi the House.'
The peremptory manner in which the
Clerks and employes about the House
have been made to march out, in order to
make room for itigolent seraggering 'Con
federate bragger& should certainly give
the public a pretty good idea of the con
struction which Democrats put upon the
Civil Senrice Reform Measures) with
which they were so lately enamore d• The
fact that duties of the Ifouse lacers re
quire some skill, a•i' well as consierable
experience, . appears to have no weight
with the Democracy. In maki ig the
/I
wholesale I sweep, they assert' that new
men can learn the duties in the saute time
and manner as did their predeeessors.
All this we believe to be entirely correct;
but then the question arises why Niill not
the same 'argument: apply to the ( several
Departments. While the Democracy are
drawing the party lines to the very utmost
extent, and recognizing only those who
are known to be - loyal to their , party,
would it not be quite as welrfor Republi.
cans to protit by the example? lft is a
notorious fact that the • Departmeots are
full of Democrats,; occupying positions
. ranging all the way down from the Head
of a Bureau to the • ldwest grade 'of ap
pointments. And, (while it is d•btless
true that many of them have beco m e ef
ficient in the discharge of their uties,
yet the question may be asked wily i can.
not the same duties; be discharged equal
ly well by 'Republicans. But, whenever
an attempt islmade to remove some of
these fellows, mysterious influencels arise
from all sorts of hidden places, and the
consequenee, is that the Democrat who
laughs to scorn the : idea of contnbuting
either money or votes for the success of
Reputlican principles is found to be more
secure-in his position than his RepUblican
associate who works and acts for the sue
: cess of his!party. And, to carry tie sub
' ject a little farther; the same objection
may also be raised to the female Clerks
who, fromlsoree unknown -reason are be
lug crowded int:tithe 'Government's employ
ui.til every Department. is full and over
flowing with them., l ettiereahey the wid
ows and daughters of Union SOldiers
which was the original ; excuse ler their
employment, there might be some reason
for retaining them; but it has become no
torious, that Where there is one of this

LErnrie raw HARRISBURG.
;llissisprsp; Jan.ltfi. 11171.
Tuesday, Jaii. 4th, the Legislature of
Pennsylvania Convened in " adjourned
annual session." There had been much
speculation awl discussion as to whether
the old organization of the House should
continue, or whether they should organize
anew. The Deinocrats, however; soon put
all speculation to an end by passing a res
olution in caucus declaring that the old
organization should remain.
Three members of thO lower sbrinch•
have died since the adjournment last
March; two Democrats and one Republi
can. These vacancies have been Stied
with pied of the same politics as their
predecessors.
The ,readers'of the REPOIITEII will per-
Imps recollect that last spring:when the
.Legishitureadjourned, .the Senate resolv
ed, whert they,re-assembled, to commence
all business anew. This• difference of
opinion between the two , houses still ex
isted when they, met on Tuesday, each
house adhering to its action of last session.
After a vast deal of wrangling, however,
the matter has been adjusted by a cam-
I' l mitten of conference, whO have reported
in favor of beginning everything anew.
The report of, this committee has been
IL adopted in both houses to -day. •
It seems to be the opinion of everybody
here that this will be a long session. The
Harrisburg Pitriot of Monday contained
an editorial piedicting an extended sea
-1 mica'', and giving many reasons, why it will
' be necessary, A reioluticni was also passed
in the Demoerntic caucus pledging that
party to vote against all resolutions to ad ,
journ until the same had, been considered
in caucus. They evidently don't intend
to get into the trap .that Mr. Mitchell
sprung for thorn last session.
' Resolutions , , have •passed both houses
providing for committees to take 'charge
I
of the inaugural ceremonies consequent
lupon the re-election of our soldier Gover
nor. !
A resolution *as Inttud►ieed hi the lo*-
er house to-day by. Mr. Jackson, .(Rep.)
of Mercer, instructing ouPSenators and
Itepr,csentatiVes in Congress to use every
effort in their power to , ; repeal the law
providing for; the resumption of specie
payments in 1879.
The new county bill will be up for con
sideriltion again this session, but *ill be
introduced In; the Senate, and *lll he
sort of class bill, with different require
ments for the several counties according
to their population. This line of policy
is the work 'of the Luzern delegation,
who hope by this means to secure a-divis
ion of Luzern() with►out any reference to
Titusville or 'Herdic schemes.
• The inauguration of Governor Hart
rein on the' 18111 Watt will brin to the
State 'Capital a l a rger than e hail,
been in attendance at past inaugurations'
for matey years. The following clubs have
already engaged quarters and will certain
ly be present : West Philadelphia Au
Creston Clubs, comprising about 275 per-,
sons, including bands; the Veteran Club
of Philadelphia, 100 members, including,
Wind ;' riawre Find Haptiblitan Chiba Of
Philadelphia, members, including'
bands, one which will be the " Steriben
Girard Ban d:" and the Cameron Club i !
with 100 members and band. The milita
ry' of the State will also participate and
make an imposing display. .
The weather is'as soft and balmy .4s if
we had been transforred 'to the latitude Of
Florida, or subjected to the gentle hiflu
enetai Pittlitic breezes;" and January "is
as pleatatit ak A,tay." Slithild-The Weather
continue so faverable until the 18th, Har
risburg will not contain the peoplekthat
will come to the inaugural.

It takes over $2,500 to, supply the Legis
lature with 'postage stamps. The Post-
master hero has ceased to honor the or
ders of the ! Chief Clerk for them until
there is' money to pay for those already
issued, whieb will not be until a bill can
be passed authorizing the diversion of
certain monies in the sinking fund to the
contingent fand. This would have been
done last session had it 'not been for-the
mulish stubbornness Of the Denioeratie
majority in tly, House. There is, no doubt,
however,--but that the bill will be passed
at no distant day ; the Democrats, with
their eharneteristic quickness of compre
hension, having been able with a year's
thought upon the subject to see the ne
cessity for such action.
Both houses adjourned today until
Tuesday next at 111 o'clock

Tut: reading Eagle says Frederick
Buyer and his two eons /ma at present en
gaged in digging silver on a farm in Leba
non county. ,1 They have excavated ground
and rock W I the depth lof eight or nine
feet, and report having discovered a vein
of sulpher impre„enated with silver. The
spot was seleeted upon the authority of
sotne old woman from IHarrisburg, who
assumes . t,he power of discovering the hid
den trees - tires of the earth.
A convention of the poor directors of
the State. is called, to meet at Harrisburg
on the 18th, 21:ttli and 21st of January, for
the discussion of the following important
questions: First, is there a necessity of
a genera: revision of the poor laws of the
State Second, the most judicious meth
od of distributing out-door relief. Third,
the general jmanagemeet of almshouses.
Fourth, what to do with the children in
almshouses.! Fifth, the best and most, ef
fective mode of disposing of tramps and
what legislation is necessary to check the
growing evil.
THE Beading Eagle says -that ex-Com
missioner John Kurtz; of Caernarvon
township, is the owners of a mare which
he has used for '2B years for fox hunting,.
lie rode her; over all the, mountains in the
lower Parts of Berks and Lancaster
eouu
ties, going over fences,l rooks, cliffs and
gullies. The Mare is now 32 years of age,
is in excellent condition, and as lively as
a colt. There is no wind -galls or other
blemishes about her, and she appacently
looks no older than ten or twelve years.
The animal is so welt trained that she
will yet follow a pack of hounds over the
hills without a rider. It is said , that she
can still trot a mile in four minutes. l'he
animal is of the Arabian' stock.-
Br racking your lungs with a cough,
you; way irritate them I into a condition
ripe for the production of tubercles, and
then,,instead of a curable affection, you
will have toldeal with consumption. Dr.
Jayne's Expectorant promptly 'cures all
coughs and colds, and by imparting vigor
to the respiratory organs, enables them to
freely throw off all obstructions engen
dered by neglected oolds, and beak all
sore or inflamed parts.
