DURING the entire session of the Forty sixth Congress th re were about seven thousand bills introduced in the House. Thus far during the first session of the Forty-seventh Congress nearly four thou 'sand bills have been presented, nearly three thousand of which are already in print. The number of private bills intro duced during the preient session is unpre cedented. :IT is a singular circumstance, says the Adrerfiter, that untie of our home binder ies can compete with those of England in binding up 'the thousandsof pamphlets which have accumnlated in Cornell Uni versity.

Referring to the stirring events of the late war, in which those before him had participated, be said : " You have done your duty iu the past, and may God spare you to do it - in the future should ever the necessity again arise." • AINICTANT GENERAL LATTA, iD his an. nual report for 1581 , says that the in spections of the National Guard resulted in a more satisfactory showing than in any previous year. tie considers thelawt on the subject as nearly perfect as the; can well be made. Six new armories were erected during the year, making a total of fifty-three_companies now virtual ly under their own roofs. Bethinks that no recruit should be remit ed who cannot well afford the time for attendance at drills, encampments and inspections. This is well enough in theory, but gentlemen of; leisure are not plentiful in Pennsylva nia, and the few that can be found are nos !bud of . I . lraniosel *nerd. Service. TEAT sterling 'Republican sheet, the Lebanon Courier, expresses the Wowing opinion which we most bey ily endorse : "No Udell service" that shall create an office-holding class that will ripen into an aristocracy with a contempt for the peo pie, will be the 'verdict in America, as the subject becomes more discussed and bet• ter understood. Any proper reform to improve the integrity and responsibility of office-holders is commendable, but the idea drifting on in this proposed reform into the aristocratic policy of England - is "a horse.lof another color," and will not - be-tolerated - by the American people. _ ( ONE of the most remarkable instances of cool and deliberate impudence on re cor: says the North American ha's been shown by the widow of, a Senator from Tennessee, whose terra, would have ex pired in 1865 but who was expelled for treason to the country in 1561, in a pre sentation of a claim for his salary for-the *hole of the term to which be had been elected. As might reasonably no pre sumed;the claim was promptly rejected, and the indignant widow and her friend% are no doubt taking consolation from their defeat in composing woruy anathe mas to bi;:burled against the - officers of a perfidious And 'ungrateful country. IF the bill settling upon Mrs. GARFIELD a pension of 0.000 a year for life, be comes a law, says the Philadelphia Worth merka n, it will be impossible for ,any o:'e tc charge Cougre.ss with having treat:. ed the late President's widow with illiber ality. It has already notified its inten tion of assuming all the expense connect ed with Mr. GARFIELD'S Sickness, and to add the pension suggested to all that has been previously given will be a generous act.. How far Congress can properly take cognizance of the contributions of which Mrs. GARFIELD has been the recipient is, bowev i rr, a questiOn as to which there is room for some difference of opinion. 4 EnvilE there seems to be no doubt that fi f INCOLN 4 owing to physical infirmi- ty, Akin . straP.ened circumstances, and that tlia l p nsion voted her by Congress some yetirs ago is insufficient to st.pily her reasonable and necessary wants, the bil. iucti.asing her pension $5,000 a year, and giving her the sum $15,000 in cash, which has been unanimously adopted ny the Sena'e Committee'bn Pension , , is a proi , r one, and will bardli meet with any substantial opposition/ In view of his services to the Nation, the Republic cannot do too much for President LIN COLN'S widow. It is not enough that she should have the means of subsistence. She should have the wherewithal to live in comfort, and to satisfy ad the many needs incidental to her advancing ytars and enfeebled condition. A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT. - Readers of newspapers may have noticed Of late that certain parties j to political controversy are in a man ner stiff red up. There has ,been con siderable music in the air, in fact,• the New , ‘York Herald having sound ed the' key-note through one of its correspondents, and the Tribune hav ing chimed in rather discordintly than otherwise. The beginning of this fracas was the publication of a private despatch- from Mr. W rrr.- LAW REID to Mr. JOHN HAY: Th,e object of the dispatch 'was _both , I rd question to influence Presider,' FULD to stand firm in his removal of Collector Merritt and the notninati , m of Judge llonEtrrsos for the Collec, for of the Port of New York. The terms of the despatch are suet; ,that there j ean be no doubt of Mr. REID!Js intention.' The publication of this I 16patFli in the Herald was 'made the basis of a i charge of conspiracy - oetween Mr. 1 REin,and a few others Navin t for its object he humiliation' of Mr?: CoNx- LING. That charge may he dismissed as of ti : consequence. There' is no I proof - Offered, beyond the despatch itself, that such a conspiracy tvasen- kered'irfto. Mr. REID published the despatch-in the Tritiume with caustic comments. • He avowed the author ship of the despatch and declared that he would stand by it to the end. But as to the morals involved in the publication of the private letter Mr. REID has something to say and . says: it ' most outspokenly. We •asSune that nobody writes a private and confidential letter expecting it to be published in public prints. There is ' what. may . be called an i nalienable property in a man's private corres pondence .the title to which rests in the Writer. So we may as Well admit that to deprive any one Of such prop- erty by making it public property is neither good manners nor goad mor als. But when such a breach of manners and morals occurs it is no questionably- true that the peculiar Property right of the author tertni 7. natis and cannot be reclaimed. -I " What does the despatch show ? It shows. that Mr. REID, exercising an undeniable, right, did endeavor to in , fluence the President to insist upon the' nomination of Judge RODERTSON . It also shows that the disagreenient between the President and the Stal warts was probably widened by the counsel -of individuals who do not claim to be Stalwarts. It may. be said to show what everybody ought to have known-tthat the course of the President was not, wholly deter mined by liis owit • will. In other words, certain gentlemen who think a P i resident ought not to be clay . in. the hands of the potter did undertake to mould _and shape the policy of the late President. We assume that such endeavor is entirely legitimate, if uti lertaken With goodintentions. But we hold that a mans who essays to shape the policy-of an administration is estopped from abusing others who essay the same thing under similar circumstances. Now if Mr. REID is willing to stand by his.despatch .we should like to know whyhe is so bitter in . his de 7 nunciaticd of the exposure. That he feels outraged, by the publication is natural. But Im o la not-the only man whose-confidence has been betrayed. Such exposures are rather common; Buttifter sharply. criticising Mr. PONtitiNG for his alleged control of -the polioy of Gen. GiIANT'S AdMiLliii! tration, Mr. REID does not relish be ing exhibited before the America! people as one who did the thing be had so severely condemned. We suppose that this nccounts for the excessive indignatioi displayed by Mr. REID. After baring denounced the tactics of 31achiavel be goes not care to be discovered in the practice of those tactics., Well, it is not pleag . ant.. _lt has been charged that President ARTHUR is under the influence of Gen. GD.,NT and that the Stalwarts are .shaping ARTERTICS policy. Is this wrong? If it he wrong for Gen. GttANT.to in fluence President ARTHUR, suppoging he can do it, was it right for Mr. -Rm to influence President GAR FIELD? •This question eovers the whole matter in. controversy. For . if one man may rightly, do anything affecting .the general publi4 why should any other man abused for doingiareeisely the sante thing? And ;dist is the condition of the than who does, as of right, what he denounces as wrong when done:by others? . If revealed in • the performanceof act how can he gip on denouncing the other sinner? This, it appears to us, is the situation - sp far as Mr. RE Dis concerned. It is certainly not a pleasant situation. he is not improving it. by Abusing paan who stole his clespatil. , That bay better be dropped. The • despatch is public property and. all it goes to show will nodoubtiheused by the Stalwarts, • • • A DIFFiCULTY ha* arisen in respect of the ceases deficiency approbation of $540- 000, and the .President .withholds his signature. ; First Comptroller Lai renre take&the point that as the money to i-a : - for clerical labor was advanced under as signment of claim, the appropriation in: its pres€•nt form is in violation of the Re vised Statutes, as it- should have- been made in favor of the assignees. It ap pears that the bill must be modified or a new one enacted. • ' • AT the session of the State Temperance convention held in Harrisburg Thursday officers were elected and - a resolution was adopted approving .the introduction in public schools of education on the psycho,- logieal effects of acholiol on the human system.

WASlttlwaros.D. C., Jam 21; ten. The current cif serious, thoughtful pub lic opinion is still drifting, as it set out that President Arthur Will wake one of the hest Presidents the -White House has seen. It is not expected that Mr. Fre lingbulsou will dirept the State Depart- ment,as a "Premier," or attempt to direct it in the interesteitber of himself or Pres ident Arthur for thei succession, 0, that Judge Fo'ger will seek to tura tbeerreas I, ry Drylament into a political machine or- his own future benefit. The - lade- pendent and even the opposition journals cancede that the President has thus far displayed tact, earnestness, and a compre hensive grasp of -national questions.. In his:aPpointments he has steered - Clear of partisanship, while -at the - Tame time evincing the courage of his convictions and displaying a firm determination to be it fact as well as in fnm the eeentive head of rho nation.

Among the,' bills .introduced we find the following presented by Hon. C. C. Jadriin, of the Fifteenth District : Bill No. 1540, IL R, authorizing the President of the United States to reinstate Charles W.

Also, the . petition of T.A..Miller and S. 0. Corwin, for the passage Of the bill (H. R. "No. 3 81) of the Forty-sixth Congress relating to the pay of postmasters—to the Committee •on the Post-Office and c - . 3 Post- Roads. Also, the petition of Buckingham Stu.- art,- ftir,a pension—to the Committee on Pensions. While the- above - will in some measure serve to show 'that Mr. Jaciwin has not ueeraltogether idle, it comprehends but a 'small part of the work and duties in eumberit upon his position. It is.a fact" which is perhaps not very generally un derstood, that the labor attending the duties o: a legislator since the close of the; war has been very . materially increased. Aside froni . legislative work, the passage of tbe' late PeosiOn Act, the Arrests of Pay and Bounty Sets, has given rise to innumerable claims from those"whoserved in the late rebellion, all of which to a very great extent have•to..be lciolced.after by Congressmen. In this reSpect Mr. Jadwin does not allow the claims which are being constantly made upon hint to accumulate unattended to.' .With. a due regard to the interests of "his constitimicy his personal attention is promptly given to all claims and requests., So far it is evid.n t- that the - people of the Fifteenth District will have no just reason for cm; plaint in any respect. " • • The daily life of a Congressman, with . ' his duties properly dischatged, has of late years become anything but a bed of roses.' The days of idleness and elegant ease with "eight dollars per day and roast beet" _have passed away, and are reineixibered only as among the things of the past. The. gilded saloons of vice, such as flour ished in' the good old days of Southern rule and slavery, have - fallen into delay, , and' bunting the "tiger"' is no longer a favorite pastime with Senators andmem bers. - The hidden "jungle" that flashed in brilliant splendor with its roulette and far taoles, ifs grand suppers and other allurements that servo to malte,v;-.: tractive is deserted. The fashionable belle and the elegant sport that feasted, fattened and flourished on the products of the awe have disappeared from fash iOn's,eirclea. The balls of legislation no longer resound with the oaths of lionora- Wes filled with, cornjuio' o. iv bile they danrishetA pistebt . and canes ad descanted aim* their honor and exploits as gentleme.n, c.'he gait; tl.” _ - But with the rainy ehanges'brought about by tbe whirligig of time, the bawl; log house Cormorant or the Capital re- Mains the same, exists as voracirms as ever, and C.lngressmen are still considered their legitimate'prey. Wbile all gOveri= meat employes are considered as a matter of course their victims, the Congressman is regarded. as the goose that lays the golden egg, and must consequently be en snared. From Congressmen the boarding house matron wins her seal•skin sacque, ber diamonds and her daughters' trous seau. While the government clerk who eats at the table ivith the Washiagtonian "to the manor born )1 pays twenty' per cent. more for his meals, the Congress man is Ina& to go twenty per cent. high er, and,for appointments ordiearily ob. tained at prices ranging from twenty to fifty dollars per month, the Id. C. must fork over from fifry to two I , ntuired dol pars. From this scale of prices there is l eo deviation ; the terms ate imperative. Tho salaries of Congressmen, like the garments of our Saviour,--are allotted, and Then the boarding house, the room keep. et., the tailor and the dressmaker are sat. isfied, a bare existance only is the remain der.
