LsR'slativ ImbseilitTr.
TIig Democratic ranj irity in tit e
Stito House of Ilopvc-rentatives on
Tuesday, in the ppirit. of factious o'pn-i-t
i hi nml legislative imbecility which
has characterized its conduct since the
first d iy of tho session, duf.'atcd the
only measure possiblo to pave the credit
of the State during the year nnd to
cnablo it to moot its just obligations to
the charitable r.nJ reformatory institu
tions which discharge it best functions.
Tho facts are stated very fully in our
llinisbur ili-ipitchc, but their im
portance merits a brief statement here.
First, as refrurds the erudition of the
public treasury; On tho first day of
the present mouth it contained, accord
ing to the statement fjr Fcbruiry, the
sum of S5D.04:, applicable to nil purpo
ses other than tiie pviouipa! and interest
of the public debt.
Its emptiness is attributable to the
f llinritig facts: Tiie Legislature o!
174 passed an net providing' that the
linking fund should consist of the pro
ceeds of the sale of the public works or
of any part thereof, or the salt's oi any
stocks owned by the State, and of the
tax upon the capital stock of corpora
tions, all other ruvcuu.es to go into the
general fund. Its other provii-iotis re
enacted il'.c sections of tho constitution
declaring the sinking; fund inviolate, ex
cept in certain emergencies, uiid pro
hibited the misapplication of the re
venues, f-o far, so good, but the act.
while thus provi iiug for and protecting
tiie sinking fund, failed entirely to fur
nish the means for raising revenue to
itKot the ordinary expenses of the Slate,
in fact, it destroyed the previous means
of so doing by diverting them to another
purpose. And thus it is that the Com
monwealth, while it wiil find itself nt
the end of the year in a po-ition to dis
charge at least Sl.-iOO.OOO of vs in
ikbtednes lo one class of creditors, will
be a defaulter to another.
To remedy this state of iifT.tirs a bili
was seme time a;o presented in the
House, amendatory of the net of the
last ses'-ion, and assigning all State
taxes other than thorn reetived from
the capital stock of railroad, canal, aud
transportation companies to tho cencral
i evenner,. so as to allow a murgin whU h
would meet ail etiraordinaiy expenses.
, ,..,.., , ( .
the sinking fund in cxee-s of the in
terest, obligations of tlio State. Ti,
S'PO.OQO, by tha way, is WW.OOtl io
eisei.s ol the amount which the e in
stitution requires ro bo cnnnal'y p'acid
to tho credit of the sinking fund.
Tiie bill was favorably reported from
the Ways and Means Committee, ami
parsed both a first and second reading.
Tuesday, however, it va defeated by
the Democratic majority, nntwith.:and
ing it had the suport of several rif the
ablest members of that party, rules
tins action is rescinded all apnroi. na
tions for penitentiaries, bisano asylums,
ami hospitals must bo defeated, and.
moreover, there will be no money to
pay the ju lieial, legislative, ;-:;d other
salaries.
And as this is ii:e fir.-t tuple Pennsyl
vania has had of Democratic rule for a
long time, we are glad the do '3 is a
.strong one.
The Johnstown Tribune states that
one of tho messengers of tho Ifon.'e of
Representatives at ilarri-.b'ir,', is Theo
philus Snyder, Democrat of P.liir
county. lie. is reported to be worth
S7o,0!KI, but. as business is duli he i
turoing an hori j.it penny in tho ob-eiii'o
pose of mosseuger at 3-5)0 a yu.ir, thus
preventing sonn poor but deserving
Democrat from earning a mueh-neideJ
subsistence.
''Hoop: Uoohav;" -Tiu oil Demo
crat, who always vo' is for Jiokso i is yet
nliva iuid lives in Connecticut. The
Bruimdckcr has this to say of him:
"An old Boutlna wu-hor-e was in
from the country Wednesday, arid while
in town heard the news from Tennessee
'Hera, Liz;,' lie said to his wife,
'drive back home, and don't lo .k for

celebrate. Jesti-s has been done at
last. The good old time is returnin.'
Andy Jackson lias been elected agin!
Hoop! hooray! I'm ou it biggc-r'n a ter
backcr frctory."
The New York T!nn:g ,'333 there
seems to be nothing wauting but n
changn in the weather to bring about
that revival in trade for which all our
business nieu have long Icon sighing,
and continues. The general condition
of the times is favorable enough. Old
stocks in tho hnnd-i of country dealers
tuut be getting pretty low, and a week
of sunshine wouid set most people to the
work of touching up their bosses otid
replenishing their wardrobes. The de
mand for houses and real estate would
certainly become more biisk. The
stock market is rising, and however
much we may abuso the stock market,
it id generally ao unfailing barnieter of
the state of trade. Congress has ad
journed, and there are no very ditquiet
iug political events in the immediate
future utHeast none that can ba fore

The Kansas Legislature has ad
journed without making any provision
fir the graihppcrs sufferers of the
State, on account of the refusal of the
Senate to recedo from its d. tiimination
to vote no money tor such purpose, ex
cept t-a a I an to ba reoiid to the State
by the counties receiving the aid. There
is a very general feeling of shams among
all clastas ot people, sa)s the Chicago
Triintiu; over the fact tlut the Legisla
ture adjourns without giving a eeut to
the destitute settlers, when there is
nearly t' 100,000 of available funds in
tho State Treasury.
Philadclphians havo just got over a

found their doors and window shutters
chalkin.irked with hieroglyphics, which
some of them construed to be the pecu
liar signs of a gang of thievis of beg
gars. Tho Mayor was interviewed on
the subject, an investigation had, aud
the development made that the marks
were tho work of tiewsparer carriers,
who took this means to acquaint their
atsiotants with the residences of their
patrons. The I'hiladelphians' dreams
aie once more turned into tho Centen

N1TUO GLYCERINE TRIED AS A 80LVENT
NAl'IITUA TO BE USED 1CK
TWKI.VE FEET THICK.
A dispatch from Port Jervis, dated
Saturday, says: The engineers engaged
in breaking up the ico blocking the
channel of tho river below the iec-gorgc
in their operations to-day reached the
first hummock below the great terminal
wall of ice-pack proper. They found
tho ice there twelve lcet thick and as
solid as cemented masonary. To shatter
this obstruction nn extrnoroinnry charge
of nitro glycerine was used. It weighed
twenty pounds and wn lowered into a
liolo drilled in tho centre of the glacial
mound aud ridge. Tho explosion was
terrific. Great blocks of ico were thrown
a distance of over 100 yards to the
Pennsylvania shore, while a column of
broken ice nnd water shot up into the
air 200 fect, and fell back upon tho
ground and ice with a noise like thun
der. Tho ico for n great dislance
around was rent nnd shivered lo pieces,
and great seams miming in all direc
tions nnuked the courso of the concus
sion and its mighty force. It was
found however, that beneath this mass
of ice the water in the liver had no de
cided channel, but was scattered and
shallow, not being of sufficient body lo
carry off the derbris, and the blast was
not aMendcd with that beneficial result
it would otherwise have been. Tho
blasting ceased this afternoon, os the
supply of tdtro-g'ycerinc is exhausted.
Mr. D. D. Graham, who has immediate
charge of the explosive, went to New
York this afternoon for another lot as
the operations are to be continued until
the ice is loosened up to the arch ol the
dam, and directly upon the gorge if it
is then thought advisable.
Mr. R. A. Cheeseboro, of Now York,
has donated twenty barrels of naphtha,
to be used in experimenting on the ice.
It will probably arrive here to-day.
It snowed until noon to-day, and
there was a slight fall of rain this after
noon, aud there is now a prospect ol a
heavy storm. The river shows no indi
cation of rising at this point, but leporls
from above r.rc to the client that the
streams arc gradually lising.
GEf jL'R-AL NOTES.
At Indianapolis on Monday morning,

The Louisvi'le lottery has made its
last drawing, and it is to be hoped it
will be the la-t operation of the kind at
tempted in this country. The big

tickets had not been sold according to
the original seheino which truro

pearance. A. A. Hayes, JI.D., Stato
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "Tho
