Under a succession of-Republican Gover
nors and Legislatures, Pennsylvania has
reached a condition of very high wealth and
prosperity. State taxes have been ditnin
islied, the revenue has increased from other
sources, and there is a larger surplus in•the
Ttcasury than has ever been expected. T'uere
is a disposition, among some persons, to use
; this surplus in unnecessary extravagance and
• liberality, and it is best to check this disposi
tion. :While paying good salaries to go , al
public officers, and making generous appro
priations for education and for the patriotic
.and charitable institutions of the State,. we
would have all unnecessary expenditure for
other objects stoplied. The redemption
of the State debt cannot go on
-.- too rapidly, and all tllp aecumula••
lions of the Treasury should be de
t voted to that object above all others. As
4 the debt is reduced, taxation will be reduced,
and if honesty and wisdom rule at Harrisburg;
there are men -who read this who will live to
see the debt all paid, and the citizens of this
* commonwealth all exempted from direct in
* dividual taxation for State purposes.
"'
Economy ,in administration, now and here
after, is therefore a prime object towards
. • which the efforts of all faithful representa
' - tives should be directed. There is much in
the composition of the present Lees
? 'attire to inspire a hope that this object will
r" be pursued, and that there will be much less
• ground for complaint of extravattance and
than there has been for a number

JOIJRNALINIII AND LITERATURE.
English compobition, or American cum
position, as generally practiced by writers for
the daily press, cannot be considered one of
) the fine arts. It is, with nine-tenths of all
44_4.newepaner writers, a mere performance of a
, 1 1 Nilaily task or job. kitkpluch work is expected
L by employers, and so much rspace, filled with
- Nwlat tare called "editorials," is expected from
= to public. Necessarily, this work must b..;
i,losistily done at times, and in most cases,
volem, work is done hastily, it is done badly.
iWitidicious and critical, managing editor

poets, dramatists, novelists, historians . and

WI not to drudge for years at a daily paper
in Early rife, he has, through deserved good
fortune, been able to avoid similar drudgery
in later years. Dr. Holland, who has been
always a journalist, has written some clever
books. But no one can pretend that he is a
great poet, or a great novelist, or a great
essayist.
With these two ends the list of contempo
raneous American journalists for whom can
be claimed respectable positions in the per
manent literature of the country. There are
hundreds who have written poems, novels,
plays, books of travel, and so-called histo
ries; but these have been,without exception,
mediocre works, that won, for a time, suc
cess, through the gratuitous advertising that
can usually be obtained from that esprit dri ,
corps which, in some places, has won for
the editorial fraternity the derisive title of a
Mutual Admiration Society. When one
editor indiscreetly publishes in a volume, let
ters of travel that passed very well singly in
his paper, a brother editor seems bound to
applaud it as a wonderful work ; and when
the brother editor writes what he calls a play,
and gets an obliging manager to produce it,
the traveled editor feels bound to reciprocate
with applause of the so-called play—such ap
plause, too, as was never awarded to poor
Shakespeare for the best of his works per
formed in his life time.
These novels, travels, plays, poems and
histories, written by professional newspaper
men, are not literature ; and their Productions
divert their authors from their legitimate busi
ness, than which there is none more dignified
and respectable, when it is pursued honestly,
faithfully and conscientiously. The best of
editors tbulcl not excel ,in a line diverging
from his proper one ; but when any below
the grade of best attempt such a divergence,
the failure is contemptible and ridiculous.
The mischief is,the press encourages the very
vice and weakness that degrade it, forgetting
that in journalism,as in all other occupations,
ye sector ultrderepidant, is a very wise,true
and safe motto.' •
MRS. RJE;RIVLIWS RE.IOINOS.
We take great pleasure in announcing that
Mrs. Frances Anne Kemble has determined
to give, next spring, a course of Readings
from Shakespeare in the principal eastern
cities. Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New York and Boston will each be favored,
in the order named. The Readings will
commence on the first of March. It is long
since Mrs. Kemble has been•heard in public
is Philadelphia ; but the recollection of her
wonderful interpretations of Shakespeare is
fresh in the memories of many of our citizens;
while a new generation have grown up.
children fifteen or twenty years ago, who will
enjoy now in reality the charming intellectual
feasts of which they have heard their fathers
and mothers speak. There has been no
reader of Shakespeare, male or female, in
recent times at least, equal to Mrs. Kemble,
and her re-appearance, simply as ' a reader,
will delight people of pure taste. It may
tend too, to expose more than ever the
degradation of the modern drama, and help
to bring the public back to an appreciation
of better things. The Readings will be under
the business management of Mr. T. B.
Pngh, of this city.
By the Ati,intie Cable, we arc informed
that General Menabrea, the Prime Minister of
Italy, has foiled time;amid the perplexities of
naming a new Cabinet, to hunt up and give
publicity to certain private letters which
prose beyond question that his predecessor
Ratazzi, was not only friendly to the late
popular movement upon Rome, but that he
gave the insurgents the valuable assistanee of
his ribs ice, and exercised his influence in their
behalf: With the conduct of Gen. Menabrea
in thus endeavoring to bring discredit upbn
his r ival by a sacrifice of honor and decency,
we have nothing to do. The Italian
people long ago decided in favor of Ratazzi,•
and the had faith of his successor in publish
ing private correspondence will only ratify
and strengthen this decision. But the iuforma
lion is important, from the fact that it verifies
the assertions made by the American and
European powers, that there was a secret un
derstanding between Garibaldi and the Italian
'Government, and that the former felt assured
of Fupport and encouragement when he set
his squadrons in the field and moved upon
the Eternal City. It was thought'
that Victor Etumanual was a party
to this scheMe, but it is - quite
evident now that he was too weak and timid
to represent, as his minister did; this popular
fueling in favor of the seizure of Rome. He
was frightened by the shadow of that French
three which would have remained inactive if
be had seized the opportunity and supported
Garibaldi, but 'Click, - encouraged by his
tholish hesitation, audaciously interposed to
protect the Pope. It is easy to understand
that, while all the world believed the King
and his minister eager and united in their
desire to consummate the wishes of Italy,
they were probably quarrelling about the
policy of the government. Ratazzi foresaw,
as all other brave men did, that Italy's op
pertFinity had come when Garibaldi
crossed the frontier, and it needed but that
the Italian troops should reach Rome and
hold it, to prevent any interference on the
part of the French. Certainly Napoleon,
.under the then existing circuurstauces, would
not have ventured upon a declaration of war.
tine of the most curious things about the
Garibaldi insurrection was that every Conjec
ture of the press and of public men, as to the
probable etairSe of events, - was falsitkid; We
now have an explanation of this in the vacil
lation of the King, who longed to wield his

The thing culminated on Saturday in a free

in session at Richmond. Unfortunately, the

the city had been quite lively with news
paper fights, one occurring between a re
porter of the Examiner, and the corres

between a reporter of the Dispatch and the
official reporter of the Convention,in which a
member of the Convention and another re
porter joined. We are not informed who com
menced the row, who drew the first blood,
who came off secondbest, or "what men of
note (s) on either side were whipped." If

With a little more balance and common
sense among those who are the coming men
on Richmond tripods.
The other day a poor wretch who had
murdered a man in a street fight, was hanged
in Newark, N. J., and the New York news
papers, which were spoiling for a sensation,
pounced Upon the event with the avidity of
hungry buzzards. On the following day the
principal journals devoted columns of de
scription to the horrible scene, and they nor
rated
, everything, from the incidents that im
mediately and even remotely preceded the
banging, to the death struggles, when, not
content with the usual reportorial remark
that there was "a convulsive twitching of
the limbs," they described with dreadful mi
nuteness every indication of the terrible
struggle between life and death. They fairly
gloated over it, and they rolled the narrative
like a sweet morsel beneath their journalistic
tongues and seemed as loath to come to the
crisis and let their man die, as a cat is unwil
ling to allow the last spark of life escape
from a captive mouse. Even the Tribune,
while making the hanging the occasion for
a homily upon the horrors of capital punish
ment, went into the details with a gusto that
showed that it rather liked them and it drew
a picture of the taking-off that is scarcely
less shocking than the scene of the actual
hanging. The New York newspapers have
a morbid class of readers Ito cater for. The
fastness of their peculiar metropolitan life
makes ordinary mental pabulum tasteless and
insipid; they need, something well spiced,
highly seasoned and sensational: and they get
it in, abundance.
There is a story told of a Savannah editor,
who, about Christmas time, was driven
almost to distraction by the tooting upon a
tin horn of a yoringster at his office-door.
Finally the editor rushed. out and for a quar
ter purchased the instrument of torture. Not
long after he was horrified to lied his door
beset by a dozen more urchins, who, having
beard of the speculation, went to see if they
could not made as good a bargain, and each
boy blew away with might and main. If it
were not for this incident the BULLETIN
might be tempted to otter a pretty
round figure for the cracked clario
net upon which some gentleman
connected with the double-headed-girl-and
big-snake-show opposite its office, constantly
operates to the damage of the ears and nerves
of the entire neighborhood. If we bought
the clarionet we might then have to purchase
a hurdy-gurdy or a broken-winded hand
organ, or pension a whole regiment of Jem
Bagses, or even buy off a bag-piper, so we
prefer to rather suffer present discordant ills
than fly to those we know not of. After the
double-headed girl and the anaconda hate
left their present quarters, the aermin
IA:moo - at is to take up its abode there.
We will hail with double joy the coming in
of the organ of the German Democracy, aslt
involves the going out of the clarionet of the
show people.

I am now prepared to furnish railroads throughout the
United States with my Patent Railroad Switches. by the
use of which the MAIN TRACK IS N EVER BROKEN,

The saving in rails, and thevreat saving in wear of the

level, smooth, and firm track at switches in place of the
usual movable MU, and the consequent severe moon
caused by the open Joints and battered aider is a matter
deserving the especial attention of ail Railroad. Companies.

(Special Despatch to th 9 Minnielama Evening Bulletin.]
WAsittricapN, Ja o.—Although the Ordnance.
Committee have deemed proper to keep their
proceedings secret during the examination of
several important witnesses, yet an interesting
fact has leaked out which occurred in the testi
mony on Saturday last, during the
examination of a witness who is con
nected. with the Ordnance Bureau. It
appears that some time ago the Committee
addressed a note to Gen. Dyer, Chief of the Ord
„palace Bureau, calling upon him to furnish the
bitatapiount of various kinds of projectiles used
during the 'Viral., and especially the amount that
bad been used and contracted for of what is
known as "Dyer projectiles.” After some little
delay, the statement was returned to the Cot ii
mitten without including the latter, and it
was alleged that at' present it would
be, impw , sible, for various reason., to
furnish the information called for. A. witurss
beton; the Committee on Saturday, however.
testified that the information had been suppressed
bY the Ordnance Departtnent,and no good reason
existed for Its not having been furnished. 1.7"p0n
this fact coming out, Gen. Butler, by direction of
the Committm, immediately dictated a letter, re
markable more for its piquancy than its length,
to Gen. Dyer, calling upon him for the sup
prrssed information at once. Tho testimony
also showed that the regulations required
that all large guns purchased should
be subjected to several tests to prove not only
their being clear from defects, but their relative
strength and endurance; whereas a Liege propor
tion of these gun' were accepted by the Ordnance
Department without ever being ,übjected to any
tests whatever.

The Case of Secretary Stanton.
[Special Devpatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
WAsirmtaorr, Jan. 6.—The report in the case
of Secretary Stanton, It' is understood, will not
be laid before the Senate until to-morrow or
Wednesday. As has been stated, the document,
is very long and merely. Argumentative. It has
been prepared with great care, and takes up and
treats the various points brought against Mr.
Stanton by the President in a strictly legal
manner. It has been telegraphed from
hero that one of the" many point s
which Would be shown against the President in
this report ie,that in the case of the despatch from
General Baird to Secretary Stanton, dated New
Orleans, 2.Bth of August, just previous to the New
Orleans riot, the despatch was garbled by
order of the President,that a stronger ease might
be made out against Mr. Stanton. There is an
other fact concerning the above to he presented
in the forthcoming report, Which leaveS thte
entire matter more mysterious than ever, and
which, to some extent, relieves the President
from the charge in Secretary Stanton's testimony
before the Judiciary Committee relative to the
New Orleans riots. He presented a correct copy,
as be thought of General Baird's despatch, as
taken from the files of the War Department. and
in this copy the words "at once" are found.
These words seemed to have escaped Mr. Stan
ton's a ttent ion,until Gen. Baird recently produced
the original despatch as sworn to without them,
and called his attention to the difference. The
question now seems to be,how came those words in
the despatch here. Senator Howard's report will
assume that the copy furnb-hed by Gen. Baird is
the correct one, and not the copy used by the
• President in his message.
Iu a private letter read here from Gem. Kilpat
rick, - United, States Minister to Chile, he an
nounces his intention of resigning his position.
He will return home in June, and it is understood
that he will offer his services to the National
Republican Committee:in the Presidential cam
paign. Although Gen. Kilpatrick's intention of
resigning Is known to few, it i said several par
ties are already after his place.
A ppointment of Civil O ff iceri.
(Specialbeapatch to the Phitedelphls Evening Bulletin.)
WAsrincoloN, Jan. 6.—Resolutions were Intro
diced in the House this morning, instructing the
Committee on Reconstruction to inquire into the
expediency of authorizing the Constitutional
Conventions now' in ECZSIOII in the Southern
States to appoint all civil officers in said States
until such time as the Constitutions may he
adopted there, and also to remove such civil offi
cers as may in the opinion of the Convention be
inimical to then reconstruction laws of Congress.
Mr. Boutwell also introduced a resolution in
structing the committee to inquire into the ex
pediency of committing all appointments of
military officers in the Southern States to the
General of the armies, and of reducing the five
military districts into one, to be placed under tit,:
exelu-ive control of the General of the armies.

reads as follows:

ance nor permit such action without instructions
to that etleet from the President. Please instruct
me at once by telegraph." '
Upon this thp President remarks : The 28th of
August Was on Saturday: 'next morning, the
29th,Athis despatch was received by Mr. Stanton,
at his residence In this city, and he took no ac
tion upon it, and' neither 'sent ihstructions to
General Baird himself, nor presented it to me for
such instructions. On the next Monday the riot
occurred. I never saw this despatch from Gen.
Baird until some ten days or two weeks after Atte
riot, when, upon my calling for all the dhs
patches with a view to their publication, Mr.
Stanton sent it to me. These facts all appear in
the testimony of Mr. Stanton before the Judici
ary Committee In the impeachment investiga
tion. On the 80th, the day of the riot, and after
it was suppressed, Gen. Baird wrote to Mr. Stan
ton a long letter, from which I make the follow
in/
glextracts:
"Bir—l have the honor to inform you that a
very serious riot occurred hero to-day. I had
not been applied to by the Convention for pro
tection, but the Lieut,-Governor and Mayor had
freely consulted with me, and I was so fully, con
vinced that It was so strongly the interest of the
city authorities to preserve peace,in order to pre
vent military intetference, that I did not regard
an outbreak as a thing to be apprehended. The
ItLieut.-Governor assured me that even if
a writ of arrest was issued by the
Court, the Sheriff would not attempt to
serve it without my permission, and for to-day
\they designed to suspend it. I inclose herewith
. ..
of my correspondence with the Mayor,
and of espatch which the Lieutenant-Governor
claims t have received from the President. I
regret that no reply to my despatch to you of
Saturday has not yet reached me Gen. Sheri
-1 den is still absent in Texas."
The President then says:—"The despatch of
Gen. Baird, of the 28th, asks for immediate in.
hut] tions."
The facts are these : The Committee have a
copy of the despatch, sworn to by Gen. Baird as
the some sent to Mr. Stanton,in which the words
"at once." in the last sentence, do not appear,
that sentence reading "Please instruct me by
telegraph.' Yet the President both put in these
words "at once" and then commented
upon them further on as showing that
General Baird naked for " immediate"
instructions. Mr. Stanton, reasoning upon
Gen. Baird's despatch, supposed that in the
absence of instructions, Gen. Baird would pr--
vent interference, as he intimated his instructions
could be agreed upon, and it appears, by General
Baird's subsequent letters that lie did not antici
pate interference.. The next dny nothing oc
eurred. It Is believed that several other points
made in the message, will, when explained, make
fully as bad showing for the Executive as this
new instance of garbling despatches.

11.tv.1sa, Jan. 1868:—The regular Engle It
mail steamer Danube, Captain Welt, from Vera
Cniz on the Ist inst.. has arrived here. She
brings telegrams frora the 'capital of Mexico to
December 31: The Danube 'experienced
heavy gales off - Vera Cruz— , She left two
schooners ashore near the lighthouse on St.
Juan de tilloa. By orders from General Porfirio
Diaz, commanding the department. who had
arrived at Vera Cruz, a steamer with fifteen hun
dred troops tinder General Alatorre bud sailed
from that port for Yucatan, to suppress the re
bellion in that peninsula. General
Idillian replaced General Alatorre in -the
military command at Vera .Cruz., during the
latter's absence. The Mexican treapury was
reported to be empty, and the resignation of
Senor - Jose! Maria Iglesias. as Minister of the
Treasury, had been accepted by President Juarez.
The other changes reported in the Cabinet re
cently are doubtful. Senor Lerdo de Tejada keeps
his portfolio and his seat in Congress as well.
Pre:iident Juarez was inaugurated at an extra
ordinary session called on the girth, and delivered
an inaugural address. On December 31st a duel
took place at the capital between Colonels Mejia
and Garda, in • which the latter was fatally
wounded. Colonel Barron bad arrived at the
Capital to arrange the affairs of the Barron es
tate, left in his hands by the death
of Don Eustaquio Barron a few
months since. The estate is probably the
most valuable in the republic. The vicar of
Cuernavaca had been driven from that place.
Senor Morales, who was recently kidnapped, was
compelled to pay 6430,000 as a ransom for his life
This kidnapping business Is becoming again of
great frequency, Congress has taken it into con
sideration and promises to remedy the evil.
The English Legation left the capital for Vera
Cruz on Monday, December O. The gunffoat
Jason was still awaiting them there. Mr. E. L.
