Towanda, 11., Thursday, Feb. 30,'1879:
LOOKING TO THE IoVIL'KE.
Looking forward; the skies' are not
clear. The country his passel thro'
great vicissitudes, and endured enor
mous. waste - of life 'and treasure, with
out any apparent impairment of its
recuperative powers. svery man for
himself feels that the greater possi
bilities of growth and t progress are
yet untouched. In • one sense the
civil war disclosed national strength,
in another it betrayed national
weakiess. It disclosed national
strength in its revelation of the latent
underearre.nts of patriotism,. upon
Which;;througli varying fi:irtune.s, the
rePUblie Was borne forward -to final
victory; and it betrayed national
weakness because it illustrated the
tendencies to disintegration
_which
have been a marked characteristic of
republics in all times. When the last
rebel army surrendered, we congrat
ulated each other that at - least some
of the vexed questions were settled ;
we Said •that at least the heresy of
paramount State Rights was disposed
of, and that the-alleged rights of a
State to _determine for itself ' whether
it would bear allegiance - to, the Con
stitution and the laws made . .pursuant
thereto, - : or east off that allegiance,
was determined finally in the neg,a
-_-_tive by the highest:of all
the people themselves. - Men are not
so free to affirm either of these things
now. : The utterances of Southern
orators and editors, kept in abeyance
for many years, are borne to the
ears of the people of , the North on
every' Southern breqe. The old
leaven leavens the lump of Southern
sentiment still. We hear the old,
familiar, ins4cnt tones of the men
who cracked their. • whip over the
- Northern doughfaces in Witmor's
time, and we see the leaders of :t„*
Vemoeratic party ducking their heaa . s?
to escape the - lash, just as they CV
then.
,Prophecy goes for little in current
history,' and the prophets must es-.
pect to•he stoned in life and eanori,
ized in death. Had any man proph.
esied fifteen
years ago that in the
,:yenr 1879 there would be more Con-
federate es-soldiers than Union sol-
Biers in Congress, lie would have
-been hooted out of the community.
Some men feared it, but We know of
none who ventured to say it. • But it
is to be so. The next Senate will
show nearly as many ex•Conl'ederate
soldiers as there are Republicans, and
not many of the* epublican-Senators
were Union Bricradiers. The House,
possibly, may show nearly as marked
a disparity. What does this signify ?
So far as we know, not one of the,
Confederate members of Congress
ever admits that be was in the wrong
when he rebelled and took up arms
against the Federal Government.
Most of them &dare , that they were
engaged in a holy cause. It is not
many days since Mr. EUSTIS, of Lou
isiana, said in Congress that the only
really loyal men. in the South during
the war were in the Confederate ar
my. Suppose any of us puts himself
in the place of Mr. EUSTIS ; then re
volt against the Constitution and the
Union becomes the highest evidence
of loyalty, and the men who led the
Union forces become criminals. That
is the point . from which the policy of
the nation is to be dictated for two
years to come. Yet these Southern
Democrats are positive and aggres
sive, and they. will rule the party and
dictate its nominations in 1880.
Perhaps the gentlemen who• a few
years ago discovered that' the Repub
lican party had outlived its. useful-
ness, may now return from their
pleasant stroll in the fealms of imag
f ination and look.at the hard and' tner
piless facts, Against this tide of re
abtion, what can be interfered and
made effective save a solid and ag
gressive party ? Is there anything
else in the arsenal of politics equal
to the-defense of the nation againit
this menace of -Democratic power re
gained ? We know of nothing. We
only know that unless Republicans
withdraw from the pursuit of a phan
tom, and stand shoulder to shoulder
as they did twenty years ago, and
determine to strike often and strike
bard at the-head of treason wherever
it - shows itself, we shall once more
find ourselves face to face with a re
volt to which the past will seem ordi
nary in comparison. , For these men
have continuallyigiven men to under
stand that they have done nothing
• wrong'; and if they have done noth
ing wrong, they have been defeated
in their effort to do right; and
they have'been defeated in a right
eons endeavor, then as -honest men
they are bound to make the attempt
to- retrieve their losses.' The appeal
to aims was denied ; the, next appeal
will lie to the
.three branches of the
Government. They have Congress.
Perhaps some may say that we have
the Executive and the Judiciary.
True; but should the Executive
prove an obstacle, theie men will not
scrurle„" to remove him and put a man
of their own in his place. They n•
not. afford to wait the issue of 1880 ;
for unless the Republicans literally
fling their chances away, the election
of a Democratic President in 1880
will not be possible. IL is just now
that the Republican party niedip to
stand firm and oeterMined ; watch
sful, ) active and uncompromising.
That' way lies our safety al a people.
TIE retunrof ZACHAILIAII CHAND
-I.Et- as United States Sehator from
I.ichigan will be hailed with delight
.3r every true Republican. ..Mr. C. is
, ne of those old-fashioned Reptibli.
.aa's who it the past has believed
ME
thai fidelity to the ' Union was mom:
honorablejthan treason, and:that the.
success of -the Republican party . WAS
essential to the peace and prospeiity ,
of, the country.. At a time when it
was fashionable to . decry and depre
ciate the stalwart and steadfast and
uncompromising leaders of the party,
and when.' the. belittleiug _proem
found abettors in _our own ranks,
Senator CHANDLER came in for his
full share elf their. Sinai and misrep
,,resentation. It shows that the public
sentiment of the, country is not de
moralized, when the , people turn with
entire unanimity to again
.recognize
the integrity and faithfulness of such
trusted leaders as Senator CHANDLER.
Senator CIIANDLEZ made a speech
to the . Republican caucus which nom
inated him for Senator, -at Detroit,
on Thursday Wight, in which he very
forcibly and. emphatically disposes of
'any charge that he used the telegraph
for improper purposes during the set
tlement of /the Presidential question
in 1877. He said : . '
"I had the honOr of having a little
something, to do with - the election of 1876.
It was an election on Me side of . fraud
and violence, and without any exception .
'—and I*.say it deliberately and after ma
ture consideration that the greatest
fraud, in Myjudgment, that ever was
seen on the earth was Samuel J. Tilden.
As I have said, I ran that campaign to a
certain extent. I was chairman of the
committee, and they howled fraud, fraud,
frand. There was fraud, but it was on
the other side. - Now, I wish to say with
regard to that campaign, ,as I have said
over and over again, that I never did• a
thing, wrote a line, sent a dispatch, either
cipher or iu the English language, or in
any other way, that I -would not be glad
to- see in print to-morrow morning in all
the. Democratic papers in these United
States." '
This unqualified and direct state
ment is in marked 'contrast with the
can't-remember testimony of l'EproN,
MARBLE A: Co., urfdthe know-nothing
position Of TILDEN.
Tun project of dividinethe State
of. Texas, . so as to make five' States,
is now being entertained and quietly
considered by the Southern leaders.
This was the. original design -when
Texas was ; acquired; in ordecto ex
tend the area of slavery, and strength
en and-perpetuate the peculiar instil
tution. The gain of eight additional
Senators would's° increase the South
'era representation in the U. S. Sen
ate as to secure a Deniocratic major
ity in that' body for years to come;
and the opportunity will not be-neg
lected should the 'Democracy have
the power to make . four new States. .
The area of Texas is seven times as
lake as Pennaylvania,•and it has in; . ?
creased rapidly in'population in the
list few years, though in 1870 its
population was less than one-fourth
that of Pennsylvania.
In order to effect the division of
Texas, the assent of its Legislature
and of Congress•will be required. By
the joint resolution annexing Texas,
passed March 2, 1845, it was provid
ed'as one of the conditions of admis
sion, that "new States, of convenient
size, not exceeding four in number,
in addition to the said State of Tex
as, and having sufficient population,
may hereafter, by the consent of said
State, be formed out of the territorY
thereof,l`which shall .be entitled to
admission under the proyisions of
the Federal Constitution." It was
further prcivided that thof4 States
south of 36 deg. 30 min. (the Missouri
Compromise line) shall be admitted
with or without slavery as the peo T
•ple oe each State may desire, and
that in those north of that line slav
ery should baprohibited.
With a Democratic Congress and
a Democratic President, the original
scheme would undoubtedly by car ,
ried out, ;and the "solid South"
made more solid by the increased
number of Senators.
THE near approach of the fourth
of March, which will give the Demo
crats the control of the U. S: Senate,
has already set in motion the column
of expeetants hungering for the offi
ces. Ttit.lean, lank, long-haired ex-
Confederate, and his compatriot; the
Northener, who takes his " whisky
straight," are invading the Capital.
They tome as . the. Assyrians came,
"like wolves on the fold," and are
clamoring for the prospectives loaves
and fishes. An extra session of the
enate is demanded, that the Demo
cratic majority may choose new
offi
cers And fill the subordinate places
with the faithful. This will give them
the benefit of the long vacation with
out work, 'which just Suits the hun
gry crowd who have been for some
weeks hanging around .the lobbies
and expectorating about the bar
rooms at Washington. The trouble,
however, is that them is only a place
for about one in a hundred of these
expeetants, and the ninety-nine will
be obliged to g o home and complain
of the hard times and the depressing
influence of carpet-bag rule.
'Vnz "Heathen Chinee f is taking
up much valuable time in , Congress.
A bill is before
. Congress to restrict
the immigration of the almond-eyed,
pig-tailed Chinaman. , It seems that
we have caught a Tartar. (a Chinese
Tartar) by, Making the Burlingame
treaty, and that .the Celestials got
much the best of the bargain. The
people of California , \ are seriously
alarmed at4the large number of Chi
nese landing in that State, who never
become citizens, but even Stipulate 1
to have their
, bones sent\ beck for
burial. It is Complained that they
invade all the avenues of Uncle and
industry, their frugal and inewen
%ive modes of life enabling them , to
compete successfully with the white
population, who, it is claimed, are
crushed by this competition., It IS,
proposed, therefore, to terminate the
:Burlingame treaty, in which 'it is
agree t 'that the Chinese shall come
as' freelres they desire, and pass a
law that no vessel shallbring a great
, er number of Chinese than Anion.

TUAT BEN. BUTLER should declare
himself in favor of pensioning Con
federate soldiers will not surprise any
one who hasoted the General's
position to 'throw his- "bricks"
around promiscuously. In the late
debate on a "war claim," he created
a sensation by declaring that the
time was not far distant "when the,
feeling of brotherhoecl would take,
into the charge of the government
the maimed and disabled soldiers of
the Southern army; remembering
their cou rage, their steadfastness and
their gallantry, and forgetting the
mistaken indgment which made them
fight upon the side they did." The ,
General in this deelaration hakevi
dently au eye single fog the Southern
vote for the Presidency, and does not
intend to be outdid by any 'Northern
competitor. But we judge it will be
a long-tilde before any Northern man
who has a 'reputation to lose will
openly advocate such . an outrageous
proposition.
Tun Commissioner of Pensions, in
suggesting certain amendmenis to
the Pensions Arrears act, estimates
:that for arrears chargeable up to
date of the .passage of the bill $34,-.
000,000 will be required; for cases
'added between that date and the
close of the fiscal year, $2,500,000 and
for arfearages chargeable to the next
fiscal year, $5,000,000. That is to
say, the present • Congress must pro
vide for an expenditure of —41,500,-
1 000 accruing between the, time the
bill became oporative and June 30,
1880, while the Average annual charge
thus created will for years to Ogle
not be less thanss,ooo,ooo.

Is TUE United States Senate, on
Friday, Senator BaucE was called to
the Chair, and presided over that
dignified body for most of the ses

to see the representative of a lately

over the United States Senate,—and
particularly remarkable as the discus
sion was' upon the Chinese question,
considering the claims of another
race to legal equality and treaty
rights.

The mania for "'reading bills in place"
Still exi s ts, but the members are not so
grievcnusly afflicted' with it as they were,
and the prospects , are now - that the epi
demic will soon run out. There were only
nor ones introduced on Monday
night when th? 'statesmen" startecf in
1•on their' present week's work. At this
night, sesSion the resolution of instruction
`to the 11. S. Senators to vote for the Rea
gan Intar-Stato Commercial bill. again
came up as unfinished business, and after
a speech from Dr. Early, of Elk county;
against tiro- resolution, and nlittle parlla
mentaiy skirmishing, a vote was at List
bad, when the resolution passed. The
resolistis It passed the Senate request
ed the Pennsylvania U. S. Santora tows e
their iniluenoe in behalf of the ramie of
the luter-Stite Commercial "
,'with'
such amendmelds,. if any are necessary,
as will do justice to all parties and Pre
vent- disctiminatlon in freight." t The
fight in the House was over the la.stcclause
embraced in the question, and this-was
stricken out. The yea s and nays were
called three times before the questiouwas
- finally settled. The kevidus question
'was moved, and the question being,
" Shall the main question be now Ott?"
it was agreed to by a.vote 431\117 yeas to
50 nays. The question being \ now epee
the amendment of Mr. Emery, of Mc-
Sean, to strike out the words attie indi
eated,-it was agreed to ; yeas 95, r7s 70.
The resolution as amended' was then
agreed to by a vote of 117 ;yeas to 42 vs,
and it was ordered to be returned tone
Senate for eonenrrrence.
In the Senate,. on Tuesday, the 11th \
inst., 'Senator Buttetfield, of Erie, intro
duced a supplement, which will probably
be'of interest to some of the readers of
the • RsrowrEtt, • "to an act in regard to
the boundary monuments on the line be
tween- Pennsylvania and New-York, ap
propriating $O,OOO for the further prose
cution of the surveys and investigations._
The Senate this session passed the fol
lowing bills finally :
"A supplement to an act authorizing
courts to provide by rules as to return of
writs, and make all necessary rules for
the transaction of, any and all 'business
brought before them, and autheriiing the 1
Judge of a separate Judicial District to
do all acts which heretofore two or more
Judges were by law authorized to do, ex
tending the first section of said act."
Also, "An act relative to actions brought
by husband and wife;" which provides
that -in such actions for the use of the
wife to recover damages for injuriesdone
her, evidence maybe brought to show
the value of her services, but the husband
must file a stipulation waiving all share in
the damage recovered, and thia waiver
must be adhered to.
1' ell
tact,
The act to provide fOr the receiving,
opening and publishing of the returns for
the election of State Treasurer.and of Au
ditor Gene' al when elected at the same
election, was considered on third reading,
but after a brief discussion its fOrtber
consideration was postponed for the pies:-
ent. This bill is intended to'obviate the
necessity of holding a session of the Leg
islature next year and other years when,
under existing laws, it will have to assem
ble for the special purpose of opening anti
counting the returns of the election for
these Officers. Hereafter, under the now
Constitution, the sessions of the Legisla
ture are bi-ennial unless called for a spe
cial purpose by the Governor. Some of
the Democratic Senators are opposing
this bill under the pretense that they wish
it postponed for the purpose of perfecting
its details, when their real desire is to kilt
it. It was at their instance that it was
postponed on Tuesday.
The anti-disciimination resolution,,
it passed the House on Monday evening,
alas messaged over to the Senate on Tues
day, and' coming up about ten minutes
before 1 o'clock, the heir of adjournment,
there was considerable interest manifeit
ed, in the few moments of parliamentary
sparring which followed. Senator Cooper,
of Delaware, whenever the resolution was
pressed, moved that it be referred to the
committee on Federal Relations ; this
Senator Lee, of Venango, was opposed
to, but :Senators Greets, of Butler, and
Davies being absent he did not wish to
have a vote taken without them, and pro
ceeded to give his views against the mo
tion to refer.' Several attempts were made
by Cooper to . get Lee off; but it was no
use; the gentleman persisted in explain
ing hiiopposition to the motion to refer,
until the clock in front of the President
indicated tbe hour of one, when he brought
down the gavel adjourned the Senate,
the resolution going over to the next day.
A goodly 'portion of the session of the
House on Tnesilay, the 11th hist., was de
voted to the consideration and discussion
on second reading of Sherwood's salary
bill. After several amendments had been
offered and debated, fixing the Governor's
salary at six, eight and ten thousand dol
lars respectively, this bill, together with
another one reducing-the salaries of mem
bers of the Legislature, was recommitted
to the committee on Retrenchnient and
Reform.
The Senate on Wednesday concurred
in the House amendments to the bill ena
bling councilmen to be elected in Brd
ford City, McKean county. [This is the,
first bill passed, by the present Legisla
ture.]
Lieutenant-Governor Stone, President
of the Senate, announced that the subject
for consideration was the-motion of Mr.
Cooper to refer the resolution instructing-
Petinsylvania United States Senators to
-vote for the Reagan Inter-State Commerce
bill to the committee on Federal Rela
tions. Although tbe Lieutenant-Governor
announced that the debate to to in order
must be confined to the motion to refer,
the discussion by general consent took a
wide range, the whole question was open. ;
ed up, and everybody who felt like it.
"pitched id." The hour of adjournment
was - extended and the debate was contin
ued until twenty minutes after one
o'clock, when the yeas and nays :being
called the motion to refer prevailed by a
vote of 23 yeas to 21 nays. [Senator Da4..

The first 'afternoon session was bold in
,the Senate on Thursday, at which a num- ,

were considered on third and second read
