on Wednesday last, by boldly attack- '

Who h / el.l over. So far as-the Repub.

were concerned, the candidacy of
Senator 'CAMERON Was 'a clear issue
in almost every District; and nine
out-lof every ten of the Republicans
nominated and subsequently chosen
at the November election were dis
tinetly understood to favor his re
election. As it turned out, the Re
publican party was the successful
party in - the . legislative elections;
their decis!on was in favor of Mr.
CAMERON, and that was ratified by
the Legislature. Under theSe- cir
cumstances-it is not easy to perceive
what useful purpose was ;to be gained
by (lie sort of contest that,had been
carried on against 'dill since the
meeting of the Legislature. There
never was the ghost of a show that
' enough dissatisfied Republicans,
Grecnbackers and Democrats could
be brought into a Solid combination

The spectre of hard 'times and
bankruptcy has frightened the cou - w
try into ,that worst of all financial
evils, a- general want of ponfidencer.—
a feeling that shuts up in the strong
boxes of the capitalist the money
that Should drive the wheels of trade,
and paralyzes for the want of nears,
all th enterprises of the country.
That there. is nothing More sensitive
than capital, is admitted. At the
first alarm, it is withdrawn from ac
tive business; thereby producing or
aggravating the- very evil conse
quences it most dreads Land when
monetary depressions - become in a
measure alleviated, it is the very last

During the last five years this want

upon a new career of success arising
out of a common trust in. the good

. The hopeful feeling of growing
prosperity is becoming so general
,that its effects are clearly discerniblO
upon the maikets. Stocks, products
and manufactures, feel it alike, and
all along
- the line there has been a
contiatioUZ advance in prices, and,
though this advance has not been
I great, it has been sufficient to induce
a larger deftee of confidence tle
minds of business t en than the) have
permitted themselv s 'to hidulgeTin
since the beginning cir 1574. It could
not be ex'peteil that trade depresOd
for a term.of rears should revive iii
day, a month or a year;,the 'revival
must necessarily be slow; but that it
is fiirly upon its way the enhanced
activity.•of the market and the
.ad
vanced prices- that are realized give
all the assurance that can be desired.
The last year was the most mem
orable one in the history of the na
tion for the value and the extent of
its crops ; the natural wealth yielded
by the soil was not only unprecedent
ed, but .it was given u at a time
when 'the countries of thetiOld World
most needed our surplits harvests,
and, while oiir cereal*.ind textiles
have flowed into their ports, their
gold and manufactured gobds have
flowed back to us. We have kept
our money at home instead of sending
it abroad, and, instead of being
Europe's best customer, Europe his
become ours. Beside this gain,- a
greater one:resuited from the practice
of economy the hard times forced
upon the American people, and,Nvhile
the soil was yielding its illimitable
.wealtlion the one hand, and saving
was practiced on the other, it was
inevitable that prosperity must come
sooner or later.
That it is coming now ; that with
the opening of the spring will come a
more active trade than the country has
know for five, years, is a fact practi
cally assured.. (apitbl will seek' and
find in business enterprise's a better re_
ward than that afforded it in the low
rate of interest paid by the bonds of
the governm6nt, and with investment
will come that stir and activity in
trade which make and insure pros
perity and success.

Paying the daMages of the Pittsburg

large, aggregating several millions of
dollars. Dian mot ,9e 1839, Phila

made respOnsible for damages by ri-,

the Pittsburg people urge, that this
referred simply_to local distUrbanees,
but that the great outbreak Of 1817
was general, the result of influences
cevering the whole State. It is \ in
tended -to introduce and endeav, 7
or to pass a bill making
State responsible for paying the dam
1-age. Such 'a treasure 'will hardly
meet the approval of the tax-payers,
and its justice is very questionable.
Much of the i _property destroyed at

had the local authorities shown a

Thejegislative work of the was

Ramie:is of lioth the Senate arid . lloase of

Towanda, was announced in a comiturii

In the House on Monday evening,. al
though the Standing Committee's. had not
then been_ announced, some twes \ dozen
bills were read in place ; among tha•moit
important of these were the following by
Mr. Fulton, of Indiana :• An . act.coinpoll.
ing children to attend school, and provi s =.‘
ding punishment for those who fail to re
spect the requirements laid down therein.
Also a bill providing that. the, people be
permitted' to vote every three years on
the question of granting licenses to Pell
liquors, familiarly known as the loCal op
tion law.
Mr. Burgers, of Franklin, read in place
an act providing for the payment of cer
tificates issued by the State, pursuant to
an act of Assembly dated May 22, 18:1,
re-embursing various citizens of the bor
der counties for extraordinary losses du
ring the rebellion. This is an "old timer,!'
with which newspaper men;clerks and
others who frequent the legislative halls,
are becoming'somewhat - familiar. It has
been before one or both branches of the
Legislature, in some shape or other, near
ly every year since the close of toe war,
each succeeding year getting a little near
er to the original design of the projectors
of the ';job," viz: a raid ion the ?tate
Treasury. Under the act of 1371, corn
. missinners were appointed to ascertain
what the claims of the people in the bor
der counties_ amounted to, and the total
1 amount of losses was found to be $3,452,,
`515.P5, for which certificates were issued
by the State. It Was alleged when tliis
act was passed, that all that was wanted
was the Legislature to recognize the fait
that the people had •suffered, and to aid
them in putting their claim in a proper
shape for collection from the U. S. Gov
ernment. These loan certificates, as they
are called; - have not yet been paid by the
authorities at Washington, and Most
likely never will be. In the tueantime,
the idea of the present bill, stripped of
all circumlocution, is to get - this money
Out Of the State Treasury direct, which is
doubtless deemed a less expensive and te
dious operation than getting it.from the
genral government.
Mr. Emery,. of McKean, introduced an
"anti-discrimination bill," substantially
the same as that before the legislature
last winter. These and many-other im
portant measures, will claim the attention
of the people's representatives, and it is
hoped will receive that earefttl considera
tion their merits should . den4d.
The grand and specially 'lnteresting
event of the week came off on Tuesday.
The "glare and glamour' of the inaugur
ation, as old man Agnew called it in his
ill natured letter to the Greeubackers, was
M;ig thing" and no mistake. It was
entirely too immense' to describe in de
tail, and your correspondent will not un
dertake it: The display was the grand'.
est and the crowdof people, soldiers and
eivillianS, the largest that was ever known
here' before. The opening .note of the
day's feStivities was .heard early in the
morning; when the various military and
civic associations began to make prepara
tions for the procession, which was to be
one of the features of the occasion. Near

civilians—had arrived the 'evening previ

experienced in moving or "handling" the

oclock, which was two hours later than
the time advertised, the head of the col

their positions, on the south side of. the
capitol, where the oath was administered, ,
and the inaugural address delivered. Thus
closed the most brilliant inaugural cere

LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA
• PH 1,. PELP/II A. Jan. ‘2s,.istD.
The Inauguration of Gar. Horr. and
the election of United States Senator call
ed all the politicians of greater or ICA de
gree to Ilarrisburg this week. The turn
out was large and somewhat imposing.
There is probably no city in the United
States where political displays are so well
managed as hero. There are several
clubs, under the leadership of prominent
local politicians, and when they turn ont,
things are not done in a small way. The
"boys" are expected to wear good
clothes, with white or black hats, as they
belong to one or the other of the rural
clubs while the best-miisie to be had; and
the most gaudy banners 'are the accent
paninlats. When the Union club gets
into line, with two or, three hundred
members, with LEnus at the head, a finer
looking lot of men is seldom• seen in a
procession. That the trip to Harrishurg
was a very great pleasure, is not indicated
by the remarks coming from 'the par4ci
pants, though everybody seems pleased
with Gov. Il'orr and the reception given
them by Senator Cameron present,
. The late ex-State Treasurer Mackey,
was at the time of his death, a resident of
this city, owning and living in his 'home
at the corner of Sixteenth and Marten
Sts. He left an estate valued at from
$150,000 to $2.)0,000, givfng it by will to
his brothers and sisters. It is .
a stated in
the-newspapers' that woman at Pitts
burgh claims to be the widow of Mr.
Mackey having been married to him 20
years ago, and having two living children,
a son aged 19 years and a younger daugh
ter, The intimate friends of the deceased
say that they never knew of his being
married, and scout the claim of the pro
tended wife as false and preposterous.
Those . who knew Mr. Mackey, and kis
generous and chiValrons . riatiire, will be
slow to believe that he ever slighte'd 'the
claims of any one who had a legal or mor
al right to his prOtection or sup / girt—or
that he was the - man to remain in- the
bonds of matrimony when thoie was just
cause for their severance. /

flakes fall upon the sod" .(cobble-stones)
the strcet-sailways'start their snow-sweep

it is thoroaghly mixed .with dirt; and lays_
in a dirty pile between the rail Way tracks
and the pav"ement.: By the time the pave
ment is shoveled Clear, there is a ridge
two or three feet high, making the street
unsafe if • not impassable for carriages.
To cart away the snow, and clear the
streets would-be a labor of 'llereules in
deed, so it remains, until a genial sun re-.
moves it gradually. In the . meantime it
becomes a nuisance, and Ills the gutters
and crossings with a filthy compound of
mud. . .
The present winter...has been one of the
most severe in the "iminory of the oldest
inhabitant." The Schuylkill river is froz
en over, and has been a skating rink for
some weeks. The Delawiire has been fill
ed with ice, though the city ice boats
have managed with pinch exertion to keep
the ehahnel open. Still the navigation of .
the river, by saiiiniveSsels has been al-
most entirely suspended. The ocean
steamers manage to get up without - nitwit
difficulty, and the ferry boats make their
trip with tolerable regularity. A few
warm days will loosen the embargo which
may not occur again for years.
