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.. If, after -having
tt timed the trade, theLd runs aNV and pus

, 1-)er can rarely trace him out, and losefi
accordingly.

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,

The snow is quite contrary,
This month of January,
And It won't come down.
We wonder what's the reason
This present winter season,
We've no snow in town.
And it seems such funny weather,
Bo curious, altogether,
Wilt its mist and sleet.
The chilly, damp winds blowing,
Whichever way 3 ou're going,
Along the street.
And It's just the weather now, airs,
You need thick coats and trowsers ;
And now'e tho time to call;
For the clothing all so nice is,
And so wondrous low the prices

The earning from the way or local burinees for the year
ending Jure 30 Mg, on an ai 4 erage of 472 mike, wore
over FOUR. MILLION DOLLARS, which, afar paying
all expensee, wore much more than sufficient to cover all

the it first visit to Queen Isabella, who is still at
the Pavillon de Hoban, Hued° Itivoll. 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. The Emperor and Prince, who,
out of compliment to the Queen, wore the Onind
Cordon of the Order of trabtile Catolice, and
the Empress that of Maria Lousla, wete received
at the loot of the staircase by the Queen, the
Kire Consort, and the Prince of ititturlas, who,
out of compliment to the Emperor, wore the
01"80 Cordon of the Legion of Honor, the .
Queen wearing her national head-dress, the man-
Win. The whole party ascended to the van
the King giving his arm to the Empress,
and the Emperor giving his arm to the Queen,
the two Princes billowing hand-in-hand. The
visit lasted nearly an hour. On withdrawing.
the Emperor and Empress were conducted
by the Queen and King to the bottom of the stair
case. When about half-way down the Emperor
stopped end prayed the Queen to come no fur

the door of the carriage. As they were about to
step in, the Empress, as if by a sadden Impulse,
kissed the Queen, saying, "Adios, mi

and Prince of Asturias returned the visit -to the

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. Mr. Joseph Feet, One of
the managers of the colliery, h ft the cage at the
flee foot me.uhtstn, and Just as the other two men
bo occupied the cage Wll.b the pony meet:end the
ltinnt 1 We t apiorlun oceUrred,ltie e ifee'.ll of which
were quid ly vlsinie ou the pit bank oy a cloud
of snot ascending, the npcast and the customary
ihdleations in the downc.est.
11 he INDLiItiDOD quickly returned to its ordi
nary COWER-, and Sir. Thompson, the manager,
and other pers. Db detct mied the pit. They were,
howevt r, able to learn but little, for the cage had
A en wit dged fast in the c hat.. and the replies that
w. re vote to the shouts from the wouthlutre
acre not eatip•luetoly. As promptly as possible
a e ap tan luta rigged ov. r the pie, sod when our
tr port( r left the bottom had nut been retched,
r woe there any kno w ledge of the fate of those
bt low, but it sue believed certain that the wun in
Its cage had perished.
Fe riunately, to-day le "reckoning Monday t"
that te, to Bo) , the Monday alter the fortnightly
pey, and au et liters are at work in th pit.
There ate, hueeever, a number of detailers, or
do) ',Mortis, the late of nhow is at present a
m tier of tLe profoundest interet.t to the crowd
lb .11- clust. bed around the pit hank. It Is feared
teat the xplotiou has occurred to a tunnel, and
i. so the 's wk. re there are probably all dead.
'I ho wen in the cage when it was turned over
by the force of the explosion,: were not Ilk ly to
lter) survived a fall of twenty-eight yards, and
how f..r the eff cts of the ca-uulty may have ex
t.! dad to the lower seam can only at present be
corjectutrd.
A later pennant says that the gas, it Is now be
lieved, was tired at the extremity of the work -
II ps, ee he re a number of men were cutting
scrota a Ft( p. 'I he number of those killed has
bOi yet been ascertainee, but it Is thought that
six at least helve perished. Five others are
be verily burned, and one of them fatally. Only
is o bodies have as yet been brought to the sur
are. Another body, fearfully mangled, is said
to be below. The exploring party continue at
we rk, and are doing their utmost, to assist the
wounded.

Railroad bill, which provides for the chartering
of three new railroads out of Washington. Nearly
all the officers of roads between hero and New

sonal efforts and the use of money with the

Mr. Sherman's bill will be passed by a large ma
jority.
