goes to swell the catalogue of crimes
perpetrated in liberty's name since
histoi time began.- i Here; we tave
learned 4 to regard Russia, as empire
of tens Of millions, representing many,
peoples, and almost 'every grade of
condition. So, regarding Russia we
have—or intelligent observers have- -
regarded the Czar as abreast of Itns

age. But there was,- and Rus.

advanced, ChriStiakmen and women,
and with this class the dead Emper,
or was in accord.
•
There is a -disposition to dismiss
the 'calamity that ,has befallen Russia
as the removal of an enemy of liberty
and progress, and as •of the.people
avenging themselves upon a tyrant.
This disposition _ does no credit .. to
anybody. It is simply the babble of
ignoranee,,or it'is infamy.
_Since PE

been better fi iewls of actual freedcim

the repUtatiton of a Liberator. He

completely . as, eur. own black serfs
were, and only not : so unhappy be
pause they could not be torn apart
from. their f. : milies and sold in the
market like cattle. - The late Czar
-determined to free those serfs,.. and
he did it. 'Did it by virtue of his
authority as an -autocrat, and in do
ing it he sowed the seed which sprang
up in-a boast of angry fOdal barons
and gentlernenproPrietorsyncid . whose
j fruit, or one of Whose fruits; was the
crime which has shocked the world.
I%hcn the imperial edict went
forth providing for the abolition of

14pr many years danger' threatened
the Liberator only. from
,the angry
nobility. The common people of
-Russia most greatfuo responded to
his call, to therntO enter upon a - new
and 'higher 'plane •of life, - and s.o far
as the'masses ° pre concerned they
will feathe blow that struck down
their benefactor most of all. Of late
years the growth of Nihilism has been
adierse to the, ruling power' and not

less the foe of progress.. But Nihi

the Russia of twenty years ago, just
as the oppresslon of the freedman
and the opposition to Republican;
rule in the old slave States here rep
resents the spirit,. of slavery. Both
strike in the name of liberty:and.
both regard the murder as a reforni;

political fatally of the President. Its
members are his counsellors. In se-
lecting them be has to consider
whether they are in accord with him
on all questions Of public policy as
well as whether their advice will be
worth having. Every member or the
new' Cabinet is a man of known and
acknowledged ability, and with one
exception each has had great experi
ence in the , conduct of public bisi-
ness. Mr . LINCOLN IS an untried:man,
ness., -
but he.is eminent in the legal pro•
fession, and is said to share largely
in the qualities which distinguiShg
his honored tather. His selection
was a fitting tribute to the woilh of
one of the ' i greatest men the country
has produccd.
But there is naturally some fault
finding, arid a good many .people
think they Could have done better.
The Cabinet,makers, who did a grand
stroke of business from NoVember to.
March are Of course much chairined;-
TherkneW exactly what the Cabinet
should be.and they charged nothing
for-designating the proper persons to
cOnstitutC it. Each took care. to im-
Press the public that he alone had
the ear Of.the Presidentelect,, and in
giving the complexion and Personnel
of the Cabinet, each said—" You can
lepend upon this." I'racticed'pgr•
sons did depend upon every such as
-signment as mere bolderdasb. And
so it proved. With the single excep
_tion. of, Mr. MAINE---whose prefer-
Mont was publicly indicated early in
the-day, the prophets' were entirely
at fault. The entire bach of suppo
sitions Cabinets IS now stored away
with other useless. lumber which
seems to constitute the assets of a
species of enterprising journalism.
This is evidgntly to be a GARFIELD
administration. It will not be run
by Bohemian newsmen nor by old
•
women. Gen. (hiirlELD'will be Presi
dent to the end of his term. Of
course this will not please gentletnerr;..
who, having tried
_to. run their own
business and
_failed, conceive that
that they can run the United States
When we are int'? rimed that some
body does not the President
but stands on his dignity; we may be
sure that somebody will be permitted
to stand on his dignity- until he is
tired. The President is undoubtedly
the peer of any man in Public life at
this time, in intellect., in administra
tive ability, and in all that goes to
make, up character. And he is not a
cringing man, in any sense. . He is
above intensifying the hates of fae.
tion, and s the cliques which have
hoped to gain some advantage
through Executive recognition will
certainly be disappointed. The select
ion of Mr. McVzson as the law
officer of the government illustrates
the independence of the PreSident.
Probably no snore capable man could
be - found than Mr. McVzsu k i. He,
is not a politician; yet is a Republi
can of the most uncompromising
sort. His office has nothing to do
with partisan politics. Ai regards
the divisions in the 'party 'in this
State Mr. McVnmin is identified with
neither. He has nevenbeen mixed
up with either, and his - appointment
was decided upon without regard to
local divisions. It. was clearly the
intention of the President noeto re
cognize the existence of - any quarrel
in the party,'and this was wise.•
ITRIBELATIONII6 OF MR. COXE.
The, experience of Mr. ECKLEY B
Cokr, of Ltizerne county, is excep
tional. Mr i : Coxx was elected in
November to represent Lucerne coun
ty in the State Senate. When be
arrived at Harrisburg and stood at
the bar of tile Senate with others to
qualify, he suddenly remembered that
during tbe canvass he had spent some
thousandis of dollars
.to
,secure his
election. The oath of a legislator - is
iron-eladi It requires the taker to
swear, under all the pains and penal
-ties of perjury for false siveang, prei3-
enVand tei co me, that he has not paid, or
caused to be paid, money or anything
of value,. to procure his nomination
or election. Mr. Cox; rememßering
that lie had furnished a good dealiof
money to procure the nomination and
for political purposes during the
election following, declined
.to
ify.
. And he was in the right. It is.not
necessary to suppose that Mr. Coxn
knowingly furnished money contrary
to law to secure the Senatorial prize.
He probably did" spend money for
the nomin'ation, but not necessarily
corruptly. Still, he has a conscience,
and we are glad of that. He . ient
home, was renominated and re-elect
ed, and is now a Senator of Penn
sylvania. He has introduced a bill
defining the legitimate expenditure by
;4!
a candidate, ,a bill which may no
doubt satisfy his _ conscienfe; but
which is. of no more utility than tiY Q
tails - would be in canine economy.
Let us . o back a little : If Mr.
Coxx' ftirnished Roney to iirocure
his first nominatioi and election,'and
if that money was used to corrupt
electors, or to unduly influence tbe
•
result of , the election, and if be be=
came aware of it at any time before
the day of election, then - Air. CoxE
was amenable to the law, made pur
suant to-the 9th section of Art: 8 of
'the Constitution. Ile admits that
he 11141 violated that law, or else his
refusal to t4ke the oath was not war
tite44,.....Vid if he had violated; that
law, then had be been arraigned be
fore the proper court he would on
his own confession, have been; de
clared disqualified from holding any
office of trust in profit in Pennotylva
.
We authilt, 'therefore, that Mr.
Ooze, tole censistent l . should have
refined to acinit -in election to the
Santou being under the baii of the.
He surely - not make a
staid upon the tpchnical plea that he
had not been - courts:4Blot any breach
of thi-law. If he had violated :the
law he was 'as pinch morally bOnnd
to suffer the consequences as if he
had been formally arraigned and con
demned. Remember, he took
,his
stand -upon conscience, 'which was
commendable and 'did him credit;
add he was morally bout.d to go as
much farther .as the law involves.
That going farther would have: re-,
mended Mr. Ccrxx to private life, and
he Would not, had he gone farther,'
now 'be in the §cnate at all. We do
not indulge in comment out of
any disposition to sneer at lir.Coxe
and his refusal to take an oath false
ly,,but on the contrary we commend
his action so fat as it went. But it
did not go far enough, It stopped
short of the ` - proper conclusion, and
ceased to be-an act of conscience the
moment he stood for re:electiOn. The
law he now introduces is unnecessary
because the law we have is perfectly
clear, needs no explanation: "It pro
hibits the use of money to corrupt
the ballot, and everybody - with com
mon sense knows what the corruption
of the ballot ilie.ans.

HARRISBURG LETTER.
States and Territories was concurred in
The session of the- Houk ou Monday
evening
.was a go-as-you-please perforin
ance,during which it demonstrated bow
industrious it could be for two hours avid
a half doing nothing. The Chaplain sent
a thrill through every heart by a pathetic
reference to the afilictpd family of the
.Czar, and an earnest prayer tkat scr.
and overwhelming justice might overtake
his assassins.:. A calendar of about 200
ills on first reading was laid before the
members, but, was not reached because of
the prevalence of a successful spirit of
fllibubtering indulged in by several of the
colleagues of McKee, of Philadelphia, to
prevent him getting in a resolution to call
up the Recorder repeal bills. The Legis
lative" Apportionment bill was- recommit
ted on , motion of Mr. Billingsley,.foi: the
purpose of giving , the committee- at-ori
portunity of designating the districts.
Mr. Rhoads offered a resolution providing'
for additional sessions on Tuesday, Wed
nesday and - ,Thursday afternoons, but as
this would Change' the 'rule it was subse
quently withdrawn. Representative Lan
dis, of Lancaster, succeeded in securing
a resolution,. thanking President Garfield
'for his recognition of the claims of the
Keystone State for a place in the Cabinet
by appointing jion. Wayne MacVeagh
Attorney; General of the United States.
Mr: Muliyge,!of Venango, then offered a
resolution fixing - additional sessions . on
the I afteruoMis of Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of each week. He thought
the people of the State Were desirous that
the LegislAture should pay more attention
to public businesi than it had. recently
been doing. Wr. Wolfe opposal the res
olution and wished the people generally
could know. that, in addition to the time
spent in public sessions, the members had
to give three hours daily to committee
work, besides attending to a vast amount
of correspondence. When The House
adopted a- resolution that no fame bills
could- be read in place he would cheerfully
vote to give the time now taken up, in
committee to the work of legislation, but
lie had no vitality to spare for such a
vitiated atmosphere as the House afforded
under existing regulations. Several mem
bers applauded this -statement, and Mr.
Hulings' motion, after a protracted and
profitless debate, was defeated ,by a vote
of 78. nays to` 52 yeas, after which the
•
House adjourned.
In the . Senate on Tuefrainy the 15th ins
Senator Cooper, of Delaware, introduced
a joint - resolution creating a commission
to revise the ,revenue laws of this Com
monwealth. Thecommission propoied is
to consist of six Senators, eleven Repre
sentatives, the Governor, Attorney Gen
eral, Auditor General and State Treasurer.
All the members, except the heads of de-,
partmeuts, to receive five dollais: a day
for actual service, and appropriating tr.:3002
for elerical.service.
The ,following bills were passed finally :

and the act for the reorganization of - the

laid .over, when the Senate adjourned. -
After the usual . orders of presenting
petitions, `reporting bills from commit
tees, reading others in place, etc., were
gone through in the House on Tuesddy,
tfiere efas another unnecessary "wrangle
over the 'Philadelphia Rec Order bill, dur
ing which M. Wolfe served notice' en the
House thatin view of the importance of
these bilis, which were opposed so steadi
ly, he would hereafter oppose by all tlie
parliamentary skill in' his, power the sus
pension'of- the rules for considering any
bill, no Matter how important - It may be.
.An act to • relieve , Building and Loan
Associations from taxation then came up
on anal passage and was vigorously op
posed by Representative Fenton, of Cam
briacounty, Vico said he hal it upon good
authority that 'the bill if it became a law
would keep $lOO,OOO out of the State
Treasury that rightfully belonged there.
Mr. Billingsley claithed that the amount
would not be mom than $B,OOO or $lO,-
000. ; • liir. Wolfe said that as far as . his
knowledge of Building Associations went
it was to tke effect that they were a tetri-,
ment to the pnor man. 'The men 'veto
profited by them in reality were those
who could afford to put their money in•
and leave it there to realize a high rate of
