She Patriot ginnocrat. 3. B. ILINVLET, EDITOR.. PENNiA ‘ 1816,D171111DA P. APRIL 28. 1871. THE SITUATION. Congress has adjourned! The country is relieved! A short breath of freedom from partizan legislation may be drawn, which, all who flake any interest in the wellfare of a true republican form of gov einment will hail with joy. For the benefit of our cotemporary of the Montrose Repu&liran we would repeat that in keeping with the failure .of our aspiring President to make any "magnate allusions" to the important issues that were and still are agitating the people, in his last annual message, Congress has as fully and studiedly disappointed every hope of the people in a return to the ad ministratioh of civil, Constitutional, and impartial government, under Radical power. Having utterly failed to carry out any magnanimous "allusions," they have most adroitly succeeded in perpetrating some of the mostgigan tic "illusions" that were ever attempted, to lure the people of a free Republic into the hands of a parti zan military power. Hope in the minds of the people has been raised, at times, during the last session, in one branch or the other of Congress, by a momentary gleam of light, only to be followed with disappointment and a - pall of greater dark ness We are not of the class who have at any time, neither do we now wish to raise any undue alarm, or sensational cry as to the palpable tendency of the leaders of the party in power, to girdle the blood bought liberties of the once United States of America, by a centralized, partizh, military dictation, but it seems to us that no man of common intelligence and in tegrity, can fail to be convinced by the few but long and weary years of example and experience which are past,. 'that the Executives and Representatives of the nation's confidence, are designedly and willfully premeditating the full usurpation of power; and those to whom, by ,the letter and the spirit of our wise Constitu tion, were only delegated powers, and Iliac only in trust, subject to the will of the people, are dilligently plotting to in stal themselves masters instead of ser vants, and instead of the life-given' free dom of a republican government, in which no man can be deprived of his "life lib erty or property," but by due process of law, meted out ut the hands of a jury of his peers, the role of a military court martial can invade every sovereign State, and a political military execution block be erected upon the ruins of our civil courts ; and instead of a free exercise of an nntramnieled franchise, he may be doom ed to march to tite ballot box under the ban of & military gauntlet, a slave to the beck and nod of some "military satrap: Who says this is but a sensational dogma of' a Democratic editor, needs but to read the - Military Ku Klux Force Nil," which became a law in the land of boasted free dom, by one of the last acts of the XLII Congress. One of the bold attrocities of this bill is the power which it places in the hands of the Executive to suspend the writ of Habeas C7rus, at will. The avowed ob ject of this bill, is to groat the loyal communities in the South, against Kul Klux outrages; but the true animas is to • present by force of arms, if need be, the recerrance, at the Presidential election in 1872, of such Ku Klux outrages as hap pened it New Hampshire, at its last elec tion ; and it is no snore than the true sta tus and demonstrated facts now developed will warrant, to say that the despotic pow er given to Grant is intended that he may declare the whole country in a state of insurrection. proclaim martial law, olam all the legal tribunals, leaving the people without any remedy, save an appeal to n.-ms. Are the people of this country ready to submit their rights, as freemen, thus tamely into the hands of any man, of whatever name, sect or part. 7? Mark how cautiously the mind of the people has been educated to submit to the earn coils of tyranny that are now ham pering them, so sedulously affixed by Rad ical demagogues: When any measure has been brow' bed by them that has Caused the people to become restivejand threaten their overthrow, they have Yet:stilted a little, and covered up their henkriis de signs, with an outward show of actrniesz cence in their wishes, only to renew the attack upon some other ground, until the people to "oft familiar" with the face of " vice;" have endured it, and parted one by one, with many of their sacred rights. .Necessity, the tyrant's plea, during a terrible fratricidal war, and a like inven tion now,is the mother of the same despotic . plea, in times of peace. One hope yet re mains—the ballot boil—though somewhat entmmmelell by infamous legislation ; yet, it is the true appeal, and before this ave nue of escape is rendered worthless, let. a Representative. Republic again bless the land, based upon the fundamental princi ples of pate Deutodracy, and we believe that prosperity will a,gaili covet this nation. Milt on Salt and bini.

There is a strong probability of a gen t.al resumption among the miners in the Lehigh Valley, The mine of fill, and Fellows Scranton, commenced work on Friday last, all the old miners going to Work, the following notice having been promulgated as the status of these mA. "NOTICE TO MINERS.—The general Council having decreed that each district or region can resume work whenever they are guarrauteed a basis on November pri ces, I hereby announce that the miners in the employ of Messrs.

Hyde Park, April 21, 1871." Sixty-five car loads of coal were taken out or. Friday last. Apportionment Completed The Conference Committee on Friday reported an agreement upon an appor tionment bill and it was finally adopted by a decided vote composed of both po litical parties. In the Senate the bill was passed by a vote of 27 to 4 ; and in the House by 67 - to 30. By this apportion ment a change of four votes will give the Democracy control of the House, where as in that of 1864 it required at least ten, and with the popular vote of the state in our favor, it is very probable we can carry that branch of the Legislature. —The World ttinks that Geary—our own bullet riddled Governor Geary—is afflicted with "chronic versatility and palpable weakness." I.,et us hear no mom of that from the metropolitan press. There is not a State in the Union that can boast of such a Chief Magistrate as our own peerless Geary, and we are not going to see him put upon now that he has had himself "interviewed" prepara tory to entering tho Presidential sweep stakes. We back him against Grant even if he does carry weights in the shape, of a half a ton of rebel lead. In addition to the lead in his legs, Geary has "sand in his craw."—Pift.eburg Post. Connecticut.

Narrow Gamve Ronda A narrow gauge railroad is talked of from Bristol to Doylestown, by the way of Newportville, Flulmeville, Attlebor ough, :Newton, Stoop's Corner, Pineville and Centreville. These roads have an swered well in England where they hay° been tried, and many of them are being constructed. The road proposed would be a profitable one in the carriage of coal and other freight and passengers, and the proper energy would build it. The cost, said to be only 136,000 per mile, makes it a much easier matter to build them than the wide gauge. I=l=l PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNORS.—Pen n - sylvania has had sixteen Governors since 1790. Of the sixteen five are now living —Wm. F. Johnson, residing in the wes tern part of the State; William Bigler, in Clenrfield county; James Pollock, di rector of the Mint of Philadelphia; An drew G. Curtin, Minister to Russia, and Jobn W. Gear!, the present Governor. Curs?. VOIT9.—The close votes in the elections for Governor in New Hampshire and Connecticut bare caused an inquiry as to former memorable instances of that kind, of which there are many. In 1839, Marcus Morton, Democrat, was chosen Governor in Massachusetts by 1 majority. In 1840, Edward Kent, a Whig, was eke ted Governor in Maine by G 8 majority over John Fairfield, Democrat. In 1848, Secretary Ford beat John Weller, Demo crat; for Governor of Ohio, by about 250 votes. In 1850, Horatio Seymour was de feated for Governor on the popular vote in New York by some 250 votes; and in 1854, he was beaten again by the "fusion", candidate Mr. Clark, who had 509 more votes than Mr. Seymour. —"Horse-lien," and others who pre tend to know, say that the following di rections had better be observed in using iVieridais's Cavalry Condition Powders; Gives horse a table-spoonful every night fora week; the same every other night for 4 or 6 nights; the same• for a milch cow, and twice as much for au ox, The addition of a little fine salt will be an ad vantage.

The Pittsburg Post says: There is no theme so fruitful in self-glorification for the Radical press as that of the reduction of expenses in the administration of pub lic affairs. One would suppose after read ing these effusions that Grant's adminis tration was really a model of economy and retrenchment, Bat when the matter is examined critically it is found to be nothing more than electioneering bosh. The actual state of the case is about this : The expenses of Congress during the past year are more than one million dol lars in excess of what they were during either of the two previous years. It cost two hundred and seventy-two thousand dollars more to collect the, rev enues from customs, than it did last year. The miscellaneous expenses, which in cludes buildings, have increased one mil lion of dollars. The expenses of the United States Courts are one million three hundred thousand dollars in excess of what they were during the fiscal year of 1867-8. There has been an advance of eight hundred - thousand dollars in the expenses of the Interior Department under the re former Delano. The increase in the Pension Bareau amounts in round numbers to eleven mil lions of dollars. The Postoflice Department costs eight hundred thousand dollars more than it did two years ago. here we have an aggregate increase of expenses during the past fiscal year urnounting to sixteen million one hund red and seventy-two thousand dollars, and this does not include the various items that will be dovetailed into the Deficiency Appropriation bill, and which will bring the increase of expenditures fully up to thirty millions of dollars. Now what is there to offset this? This principal item is a reduction of two nril lion two hundred and fifty thousand dol lars in the expense of collecting the in ternal revenue. But the falling off of receipts and the innumerable defalcations of collectors more than counterbalances this reduction, which has been brought about by the consolidation of revenue districts and the reduction of the number of officials. There is a fictitious claim set up, which by comparison with the expenses for the same item during the last two years of President Johnson's term, it is sought to turn into political capitaL We refer to the expenses' of the army and navy. By comparison it will be seen that the aggregate expenses of the army arc one hundred and twenty-five millions less, than they were during either of the last two years of Johnson's administration. But there is no actual saving of expenses in this. The army has simply been re duced. During Johnson's term the Radi cal Congress was repeatedly asked to re duce the military and naval forms but it was refused, consequently, while the stand ing army was large, it necessitated a large extienditure of money. But by compari son,it is found that it cost a large per cent. more now to subsist and pay a thousand soldiers and their officers than it did in 1867-8, so that there has been no reduction in expenses, but in the num ber of men. Add to this that during the years mentioned, more than a hundred million dollars of debts contracted dur ing the war were paid by and charged to the expenses of the War Department, and we find this boasted claim of one hundred and twenty-five millions of dol 1, pu re The war claims paid by the War De partment. and the extra expenses fir the unnecessarily large spading army during 1567-S, is almost equal to what is claimed as a reduction of the public debt in 1870- 71, and the increase of expenses, as shown above, during the latter period indicate that instead of a reduction of expenses, there has been an increase of not less than twenty-five millions of dollars. The collections of the Government from the people in the shape of taxes ag gregate about live hundred millions annu ally, and as the reduction of the public debt—so claimed, from April Ist, 1870, to April Ist, 1671, amounts to only about one hundred millions of dollars, the peo ple would like to know what has become of the other four hundred millions of dollars, which have not only been spent, but other demands created, which can only be met by the Deficiency Appropria tion bill, The claim that the administration of Grant has been an economical one and has saved money for the people, is not sustained by the facts. W hen we take the amounts collected during the last fiscal years of Johnson's and Grant's ad ministrations and deduct from them re spectively the war claims paitlin 1867-8, and the alleged reduction of the public debt iu 1870-71, we find that during the latter year there was fully one hundred million more—excluding the items de ducted.----disl3tirsed by Grant's than by Johnson's administration for the same I period of time. ---.41. sr EMTlaced Clemency. Is it not noticeable in these days when laxity in discipline so lingdy prevails, that we often mistake when the peroga tivo of mercy should be used 7 Beginning with civil government, how frequently we behold the sad effects of mistaken kind ness. 'Tis true we aro all fallible crea tures; and to the honor of human nature be it said, we do forget and forgive; yet how apt we are to be lenient when justice would be not only more fitting, but more kind. It is abuse of mercy to pamper or needlessly wait upon the monster Rulloff, yet how ready and anxious some are to show their cheap sympathy for a wretch, who flouts kindness and scorns alike both justice and mercy. Without citing addi tional instances of the abuse of the attri bute of mercy, how strange it seems that administrators of justice so little regard the influence of this misplaced favor they so often exhibit, upon the well being of society, rendering sentence as though they were not standing between the villian and the commonwealth; as though they had no helpless wives, or unprotected children. It seems to be hard for juries to convict, harder for judges to sentence, and more difficult still for executives to resist granting undeserved pardon. Mur derers upon the scaffold often acknowl edge the justness of their sentence, yet the, mawkish septimentalisra of a large portion of the puldiecia inclined tq loosen their oords tend let them go, failing "in a great tne,ssrtre to sympathise with the ag , grieved mid afflicted friends of the mur dered victim, misplacing their sympathies, and. shedding their tears of sorrow with thelelatiree and fried& of the murderer, .who o t;onspicudinly present themselves het* .the sympatlfttits Crowd, in what are tailed halls of jtistlbei the street, eetnetitiiet ri C heal' rden speak admiringly of the skill displayed ty the stealthy as sassin; of their cunning in eluding offi cers of justice; when oar securities are stolen from their place of deposit, we hear men jestingly speak of the shrewd opera tions of the adroit.thief, betokening a lax determination to punish the guilty, offer ing an indirect encoriMgenomit to the murderer and thief to be Smart, and they shall be applauded. Public sentiment is mightier than law; then wily do men treat so lightly the commission of crime, aiding in dividing public opinion, en couraging the vicious in their career of vice, and leaving their.own door ajar fur the ingress or the murderer and robber? In all this as a people - are we notgrowing weaker? Some regard. the tempering of justice as a favorable omen; relapsing from the hard and inflexible rigidity of earlier times, to be more humane and merciful treatmettt of later days. It may be, that the growing disposition to see all men upon an equality, gives rise to a re laxation of authority, and that the uni versal sentiment in favor of absolute free dom, induces many to seek absolute li censew--Gvhen, (N.

What hi a Carpet-Bagger t When the civil war closed, and its dan gers had passed away, a swarm of "loyal" adventurers, whose occupation was to shout loudly for the suppression of the rebellion, but to incur no personal risk in defense of the Union, rushed down to the South, with their carpet-bags in hand, fol lowing the track of the victorious army like so many hungry vultures. They had neither ammeter, nor credit, nor money. Their wnrdly goods were in the bags which they carried. They went in search of plunder, intending, when gorged, to return to their navtive North. They had no sympathy or tie with the people whose homei they invaded to despoil. They sought Federal and State offices, and by shameful practices obtained both, only to rub and rule with the vilest tyran ny and the mod shocking venality. The whole tiovetiment of South Carolina is in their hands is-day, with a mixed ex cept ion, and almost every Southern State groans under a dmilar affliction. Such is the cadet-bagger.

There are numbers of them who have infested this city for years; who own no property ; who have no visible means; who pay no taxes; who vote elsewhere, and yet who have the aud acity to intrude in the local affairs of people of this district. Between this Ishmselite class and the citizen who comes here to settle among us, to exist his lot with oars, and to take his share in the fortunes of the District, there is of course no analogy. All such deserve to be, will be, and have been cor dially welcomed, whether they hail from North or South, Easter West, and wheth er they come with or without means.

Carelessness. • carelessuessi_in a mania quite as repre hensible as in a woman. A woman care less and untidy in matter of dress will be found to be equally so in household affairs; she will be as innocent - of - a well ordered house as of a well arranged toilette. So in a man, carelessness in his person will in variably be found to extend ,to business, and in course of time he will become care less of his home and affections, of his morals and reputation, of the perform ance of his promises, and indifferent of the opinion of the world. Carelessness and indolence hence travel hand iu hand; the one ever connected with and insepa rable from the other. No confidence can be placed in the industry of a careless man ; no hope of his attaining to position or distinction in the world. Living but for his own ease turd indulgence, he seeks it in the present, taking no heed for the morrow; postponing imperative duties until the opportunity for adjusting his af fairs to his OWII or his family's interest is passed; he is ever found to be a victim of his own carelessness, and procrastination, often bringing ruin upon himself and dis grace to those whom he should shield from want and infamy. 4. man too indolent to give proper at tention to his dress, with soiled linen, neg lected hands and unroll:4A boots, his whole appearance indicative of carelessness and neglectful habits should necer be looked upon with favor by the opposite sex. A careless husband is a matrimoni al bankrupt; therefore young ladies should'beware of wastino their affections upon a young man whose appmrance de notes indifference in personal matters.— All the talot and genius in the world, unless it be blended with industry and perseverance, with a due respect for the opinion of the world, esteem of mankind, and with a proper respect for sac will not be able to keep a family in the necessaries of life, or to command that influence ne cessary to obtain for children honorable positions in the world. There are two classes of men equally to be avoided by the female sex—thu careless, neglectful men, and the man who sports Shalt jew elry.

Enrron :—I saw a notice in your last issue stating that on the 29th day of April, there I would be en examination of graves In the Cemetery, in West Lenox, near Mr. Whitneys, With a. view of arresting the ravages of Con , •atimption in a certain family, fie. Theitudltion Is this, when a' number of the wrembet4 of any family seem to be failing, one after another from Consumption, it is because the dead are praying upon the living ; and that the kat dying does not decay, and return to dust, until the death of another member of the family. Or should it be found on examination that the vitals had de=yed, the „first member, in the eounxion will be found =decayed, as to its yards; or there will he retard' a vogitabler growth in the dust, centering Ds roots In the vitals, as near as may be, This plant, or the undeeayed vitals, must be removed, and burned to ashes and taken by the living, and then the fearftlfatiges of Consul:elk tion will be arrested• Now, Mr. Editor, allow roe to give you the history of what I once saw myseif, end what has been the result. More than 'thirty-three years ago, there !feed in Jeffrey N. li., a family by the name of Johd Frost, three members of which had died with Consumption. One other member was but just alive, as was supposed, dying with Cone sumption, andotbers were in different stages of that fell dlsca'se.• Hearing from different SOLITUS reports CO t• firming the truthfulness of the statement in thct tradition, above refered to, they resolved to test its virtue by an examination. Public notice of that fact was given, and probably a hundred people were present to seer it. Two grates were to be opened, the first and last, in the Tale of death. The first grave wsur that of the grandmother of the family,stax the' fathers skle, dead eighteen years. On opening that grave, all that it contained of mortality, sate dust, was the lower Jaw and one large tone in one of the lower limbs. Theta was no vitality or form of it, either' regelable or animal. The second grave contained the last dead of the family, a girl that had been dead about nine months. On opening that grace the body Wag found not to he decayed but slightly in;any part: The same would be true of any ode dying with any disease except some putrid disease. Nina' months would prpduce hut slight change in a body excluded from the air and five feet in the ground. But the body was opened-and the lungs, heart, liver and stomach were taken tat and delivered to the family for them to Mince to ashes and take to cure the farther prosiest' of Consumption in their r•.mks. Now what was the result? Is the tradition true? When I was in New Hampshire last fall, fry the same cemetrv, standing beside these graves and others, I asked a citizen of that place if any' other members of the Frost family bad died of Consumption since the above discribed examina tion? He told me that two, and I think three, had died since that time and others were feeblb showing the failure of this infallible remedy. It did not arrest in any degree the ravages of Consumption in that family. But I have no drrupt if did as much for then) as it could for any one. In this case and alf other simular ones, the teudancy of Consump tion is inherited and cannot be eradicated any' easier than the Ethicqr,nin ran change his skin. It seems-strange to me, that any one shonltt think of receiving medical assistance from any such source or that any one should believe In such a tradhion. It has no reason or facts to support it. After the case above mported, I took pain., to inquire as to the correctness of such cases,• and I found in every - case that, 'lt wca said by some body, that some body said, soiree one else, some where, had heard of some one who knew of a case over same where, that was so." Very Respectfully, A.. 0. IVAnttzN Coal Olt Lamps, • Fill your lamps by daylight and keep them cleansed. Never burn rr lamp when it le less than half full of oil.
