PREM& : WEDNESDAY, FEB. 23, 1870 County Statement. We believe the people of this county should be justly proud of the plain, open, and unevading manner in which the Re. , ecipts and Expenditures of the county have been set forth in the Commissioners' statement, which has appeared in our col umna. As we have adopted the motto, " Honor to whom honor is due," we deem it but just to call the particular attention of the people to it. We have compared it carefully with other statements in our exchanges, from other counties, and we find none that are so concise and plain, and in which every item of expenditure is so &Ey and intelligently accounted for, without any sweeping item of " incidental expenses," so suggestive of some criminal er evasive leakage. We notice that some of our cotemporariee have criticised quite severely the loose manner in which their county statements have been made. We think that our conxmissioners and clerk can defy-all criticism, as evt - r item fully explains itself.- A few days ago the country was startled with the announcement of the massacre of 1-Jetween ilOO and 300 Cheyeunei, (men, sqnans and childreu,) under the orders of Grant and Sheridan. Mr. George Catlin, so well known as an artist and as a man in this his inure county, who has spent so many years among. the Indians during the better days of tic Republic, has ad dressed a feeling letter to General Sheri dan in reference to his inhuman treat ment of the Red Men : "Yen are commanded to " streep the whole counter," to drive from their Mild rations and hunting grounds and from the graves of their parents and children, j the entire population of 1,500,000 square j tulles, into restricted, gameless:and worth leas rese.nations, iu which stariation will be inevitable, and out of the limits of which you are commanded to treat all In dians as - enemies of war"—that is, to put them to death if they do not surrender to j your arms, and give you their country, to I be occupied by squatters.

All who are not with us are against us. It is high time that we take this as the point for a new departure in state• politics. The scurry bummers, from the highest to the lowest, who have dishonored oar organization. and made our camps a cover for thieves, should be branded and drummed out With them we can never be sure of victo ry ; without them we shall soon tind the ways open, perhaps through a defeat or two, to fresh and solid triumphs. This will be found true in city, county or state. That is so extremely sad a picture that it really excites our symdathy. Never, surely, was auy party so shamefully be trayed. Off with the heads of the traitors —so much for Geary, Lowry & Pennsylvania Legislature. HARAISBCRU, Feb. 14, IS7O. Hou6E..—The House met at hall-past seven o'clock P. M., Mr. Strang in the chair.

Other efforts were made evident 'ly to prevent its passage at all. The friends of the measure persistently resisted all attempts to prevent its being carried, and passed it finally over all opposition, and with but one small amendment. The bill asincreases the salary of the State C et ist i urer to $B,OOO, and re quires a bond for faithful performance of duty, with ten or more sufficient securi ties, in the sum of $500,000.
