PENNSIi However much American citizens may have differed upon the question of State Rights, there has never been a controversy on the subject of State Pride. Detesting, as we do, the pro-elavcry politician's view of the State Rights doctrine, we are willing• to go to the extreme with the extremest of them, in the matter of State Pride. And for tunately for this proposition, Pennsylvania is a State that gives ample material upon which her proudest son may expatiate, without fear that any equally faithful son of any other old commonwealth may be able to make him blush. Governor Geary's message may be taken as furnishing a text for the few remarks here to be offered. The debt of the State of Pennsylvania, ac cording to the Governor's statements, was, on the Ist day of last December, $33,286,- 9.4 C . Deducting from this the estimated value of the Railroad bonds owned by the State; which the Governor advises should be sold, the actual net debt of the State would be about twenty-five millions of' dollars. The actual population of - the State is about four millions. The whole debt, therefore, would average about six dollars and a guar ter to each inhabitant of the State, and it might be liquidated by an assessment of that amount, if it were desirable or fair to make such. As an indebtedness of a eomurm wealth so rich and prosperous as Penrisylva nia, with population and resources steadily gaining, this sum of twenty-five millions is really insignificant. It seems more insigni ficant when it is compared with the debt of the Slate in former times, when the popula• tion and the' sources of wealth were much lower. The State debt of Pennsylvania reached its maximum in It+s4, the last year of that model Democratic Governor, William Bigler. lu his last, message to the Legislature, he re ported the State debt to be, on the Ist of Da cemLer, 1854, $11,6b8 595. In the follow ing }ear, under a change of administration, Governor Pollock was able to report a reduc tion of over six hundred thousand dollars. The reduction went on steadily after this, ac celerated by the sale in 1857 of the State Canals, which had afforded, for a series o years, hat spoils to the Democracy, while impoverishing the treasury. The needs of the State during the rebellion, brought on by the Democracy of the South, stimulated by the Democracy of the North, caused a teal poral y increase of the State debt during part of Governor Curtin's administration; but, this Was all extinguished before he retired from Gilt ce, and when he left the Executive chair the State was much freer from debt, and much richer in honor and glory, as well as in material resources, than it was when he was first elected. A faithful Governor,represent ing a truly loyal Republican population, was able to bring about this happy result, even in a time of civil war, which caused general pecuniary distress. Governor Geary, chbsen by the same con stituency and representing the same Repuh lican principles, has been able to report a diminution of the State debt, in each of his annual messages. It now amounts to $3 3,- 2843,94 q, or deducting the value of the rail road bona, owned by the State. about $25,- 000,000. The same rate of diminution, carried on for a few years, will totally extin guish the State debt. Accelerated as It may be, if the wise and earnest counsel of the Governor, in regard to economy, be followed by the Legislature, the people individual y may, in a very little while, see themselves freed from all direct general taxation for the purposes of the Commonwealth. The reve nue from taxes on eorporations,frorn licenses, be quite equal to the expenses of carrying on the government. By way of showing how much better off Pennsylvania is in 1869, under Republican rule, than it was in 1854, under Democratic rule, we may state that in 1854, the popula tion being about 2,600,000, the State deb was, in round numbers, $11,700,000. Ia 1809, the population being about 4,000,000 the net state debt is only about 525,000.000. This simple statement is sufficient to justify the wide we have expressed in, our noble Commonwealth. 'SE PREMENT . ITIVEs. Every year, the people of Pennsylvania, with very much excitement, and a great ex penditure of time, labor and expense,. go through the form of a general election of persons to represent them in the Fat e Legi• latnre. Each of ,these chosen leE, , ielators bis a large constituency, composed, in great measure, of intelligent men, with various per sonal and public views and interests, whieil Ihey expect to have represented and promo ted. In the aggregate, the Legislature Is sup posed to represent 'the Wilt. of the State 'of Pennsylvania, ,pf.,tlto whole masts of :foul' millitme Of People, spread over the.• wide ei paiise of ibis greet:commonwealth. ‘ , Ltoes it really do so; and if it doesi not, do the 'men who are chosen to represent the people prove themselves faithful to their high trust? -= We take the illustration afforded by- the nomination .of a Senator of the United States. Few questions of greater moment to the State at large are presented to the Legislature than this. Past experience, present exigencies, future possibilities, all make it of great im portance that Pennsylvania should be ably and rightly represented in the National Sen ate. The selection of a proper candidate is entrusted by the people to seventy-nine Re publicans, from all parts of the State. Upon their decision, the people are well content to rest this grave question. These seventy-nine "representatives" assemble in Harrisburg. Their preferences are divided among several prominent leaders of the Repub lican party. Men like Grow, Moorhead, Scofield, Brewster, and others, coming from various parts of the State, have each their friends and their claims. But d 3 these "rep resentatives" assemble to canvass the relative merits of their several candidates with a gen erous and patriotic desire to unite upon the man who will reflect the highest credit upon the State, and best protect her interests at Washington? Not at all. They go to Her risburg and wait until it is made known to them wiTat the opinion and preference of a single man is. The moment these are made known, the whole thing is announced as set tled, and the "representatives," not of the ople, but of a single individual, go into caucus and nominate, most fortunately, an excellent man as Senator, but not at all a "representative" man. We have not a single objection to Mr. Scott; on the contrary, we ri.joict that one who bears such an excellent character is to be made our Senator. Nor do we object be cause it happens to he Senator Cameron who thus controls the action of the Legislature. if that body is to be controlled by any one man, it matters little who the individual may chance to be. Bnt we desire to see those who are our "representatives" in name, proving them selves so in deed. These gentlemen are surely elected by the people to represent them, and not to represent any individual. l t this were the purpose of the people or the genius of our republican institutions, it would be much cheaper and far less troublesome to send the one man to Harrisburg .to manage our State affairs, instead of going through all the complex and costly machinery of con ventions and elections, to send one hundred and thirty-three men to Harrisburg merely to express and execute the will of any one person. We repeat, that we have no fault to find with Mr. Cameron's Speaker or Senator. No better men could have been chosen. We do not understand why it was necessary to slaughter General Irwin, a most excellent and faithful Treasurer; but presume that it was, in some way, considered a necessary part of the arrangement, discouraging as it is to men who try to do their duty honestly and well. We only find fault with the method, not with the result. There is nothing •`representative" in this way of electing a Senator, and it is difficult to understand the process by which so large a body of men, who are expected to act for their constituents upon independent piinciples, are manipulated in accordance with the will of any single in dividual. It is very certain that the people at huge have a totally different idea of the meaniug and scope of the word "lispresen tative. IRECIIAIto ICA 1. IRA DEIS. We call attention to a communicatiln re ceived on this tut ject, which we insert in an other column, principally on account of a uggeetion which it contains with respect to he et tablish went of industrial Schools. But the w riter in l is calculations overlo iks one main point: grant tha! the ordinary course of instruction by apprenticeship be as expect tive as he considers it,still the value of the knowl edge is so so .real that numbers are ready to incur it. But the trades unions interfere. and .ay to the employer, that, although h m nave a most extensive establishment and m ph y a hundrt d or several hundred hands, /cc ...hull (cola: but two apprentices. And if ne takes even one over that number, they not only quit hint in a body, but use their best endeavors to prevent him getting hands else where. This sort of tyranny is exerted in the most oppressive and varied ways. At ono time the 4tonecutters' union fixed a rule that mink might be sawed by steam, but brown stone •huuld not, and should bo cut only by hand. One of our eta ne-yards undertook to resist. Tee owner, who had means and a resolute clinometer, made a determined effort; but his works we re closed in spite of him, and when lie gave in, his hands insisted upon, and re ceived, wages for the time they had refused to weik ! He Informed us that this attempt cost him near $5,000. some establishments 'are strong enough to resist the unions. The owner of lingo locomotive works informed us that he bad established the right to regu late these matters as he pleased, nevertheless, ne would only very rarely take an apprentice, as the space in his shop was too valuable to be occupied by any but full hands. In an swer to an application made in our presence, he said that two or three years might elapse before he could find a place f.ir an ap prentice. This is to some extent an answer to our conerpondent's view that the employer makes too much upon his apprentice. Perhaps in acme cafes he dues, and some reform id the manner of apprenticing might be uieful. A ungurstionatily lies with the young men themselves, and their fair deal— ttigP. The latter portion of their time is that k% hich is valuable to the employer and pays bin for We instruction..

THE NEOlio Tnocut"ant GEORGIA- From Savannah we have detailed ac counts of a series of outrages committed by lawless negroes upon plantations in the neighborhood of that city. If the reports are truthful, as they seem to be, numbers of blacks have organized themselves into bands, and are robbing and murdering the whites systematically and by wholesale. Tae civil authorities are doing what they can to sup press this rapidly increasing brigandage; but their success, thus far, has been so small,that assistance will probably be asked from the hated United States troops. For humanity's sake, as well as for the preservation of peace, and the proper vindication of law and order and decency, we hope this aid will be given, and the outlaws captured and punished. These negro ruffians deserve Us swift and se were puuishment as that - to which the white Ku-Klux Klaus are entitled. Whatever the provocation they may have received, there can be no possible excuse for such terrible re taliation. But while we must utterly con demn the crimes of these blacks, we cannot sympathize as deeply with the sufferers as we would if they were wholly without blame. For many years past the Southern people have fierce'y persecuted those men in their section who chose to hold and express independent political opinions; and of late they have applauded the villainous deeds of the Ku Klux Klaus, which have organized a reign of terror in the South, and not only have committed myriads of mideight assaults upon unoffending Northern men, but, in this very State of Georgia, have murdered ne groes by hundreds,as in the C mina massacre, because they chose to exercise the ii;hts given them by Congress. The negroes bre imitating the eiample set them by the whites. If they are taught to regard the white men as superior beings, it is not surprising that they should believe in the excellence of their theories. It was in Georgia, too, that the whites iniquitously and illegally turned the negroes and their friends out of the Legisla ture; and Ire m the same State have come fre quent complaints'that the planters dea:t un— justly with the blacks in their wages con tracts. When we consider these things, we may find an explanation of the present troubles. The negroes have actually been educated up to this defiance of law, and their passions have been kindled by a constant succession of wrongs inflicted upon them. This is not a stacient apology for their deeds; unfor tunately, innocent men, wOmen and children are the sufferers upon these occasions. But when the lawlessness is brought to an end it will be well if the people of Georgia see to it that the cause of it is removed. Outlawry among the whites must be frowned upon and stopped;and a powerful public sentiment must set the seal of its disapprobation upon such organizations as the Ku Klux -Klan,and upon the systematized disregard of the ne groes' rights. It hadue only to tae forbearance and easy good-nature of the blacks that there has not already been terrible retaliation upau the Southern people. This Georgia difficulty is a semi le of what might have been, and what may yet be, unless the people adapt a more liberal, generous and just policy toward their nen,ro population. We are told by one of the officers of the "Philadelphia Unrversi;y" that it is not, a, we Lad Leen previously informed, an "E • lectic" s( hew], and that it has 333 matrica lapis, which is a very large number.

Toe visit, which was announced beforehand, was to tde known in the afternoon, their Imperial Maiesties being attended by two Cheniberlain4 and two Ladies of Honor.

As they were about to step in, the Empress, as if by a sadden Impulse, kissed the Queen, saying, "Adios, mi .que , kia amiga!" An hour afterwards the Queen, King and Prince of Asturias returned the visit -to the Tuileries. Particulars of the second Colliery Ex plosion al Wigan. In= the London Standard, Dec, 22 .1 Another colliery explosion, the came and ex teat of which are unknown at the time of writ lug, occurred this morning at the Norley colliery, situated in the township of Pemberton, about a mile and a hall from the borough of Wigan. The pits at which the casualty occurred are Noe. 2 and 3 of the Norley Coal and Canal Com pany. At one the yard coal Is mined, and at the other Orrel five feet and four feet, which latter seam is synonymous with the mine known as the Arley in other parts of the Wigan coal field. The downcast shaft has been sunk to the Orrel fear feet Seam, a distance of 420 yards from the surface ; the downcast only descends to the yard coal, and thence there le a connection by a swell or bye shaft to the Arley. Near the bottom of the downcast shaft there occurs a fault in the Arley, which throws up the scam for some dtattned, and in order that it may be we more conveniently worked a tunnel has been run out of Inc shaft to strike the up throw about twenty-eight yurda from the bottom. It is believed that at this point the accidt ut occurred this morning which has chased the loss of a number of lives, how many we ale at present unable to a1...M. Shortly before nice o'clock a party of men de scehded the downcast 5h..11., conveying with them a pithy, which It wits intended should work in the thew! referred to.
