THE LEGISLATIVE FLURRY.
In the letter from Mr. E. W. DAVIS,
- which we publish elsewhere, he writes
like a gentleman. In his speech in the
House, of which we give a telegraphic
- synopsis, he talked like a blackguard in a
pothouse, instead of a worthy member of
a deliberative assembly.
Nor shall pride of opinion on the one
lumd, nor his abuse on the other, prevent
us from doing him justice. The law of
April 17, 1843, - which is still in force,
provides that the Speaker of each House
shall draw warrants for the pay and mile
age'of the members; and the chief clerks
for the officers or servants of the Houses
respectively. If, therefore, warrants
Were improperly drawn, they were not
drawn by 31r. Davis. We will barely
add that our former statements were
made upon the authority of others, and
without examining the laws for ourselves.
Having failed through Mr. DAVIS to get
any light upon the real matter in contro-
versy, we make an appeal to the Auditor
'General and the State Treasurer, respect
fully requesting them to answer a few
questions:
1. Were more moneys paid for the ex
penses of the last Legislature than were
authorized by the Apptopriation Act?
and, if so, how much?
_ 2. Were more persons paid as officers
or servants of the House of 1868, than
were authorized by the law .of April 14,
1863? and, if' so; how many?
3. Were more persons :paid as officers
.or servants of the lionsel of 1868, than
were appointed by that, body, either
under the law of 1863, or under any law
- whatever? If yes, what,are the names of
- the petsons so paid, and the amount paid
• to each ?
We make no allegations; least of all,
any implicating either the Auditor Gen
-eral or the State,Treastlrer. The outgo
ing- Treasurer was not in office when the
last Legislature adjourned. But these
two offices contain all the information de
sired on the subject, and in view of the
publieintereat manifested to know - the
exact fads, it is desirable they 'should
make alsclosure.
,
—As to the advertising of the State
•Loan, we are free to tell all we know about
it. The advertisement was sent to this
-- rake =from the proper department at
ifarrisburg, in printed form, largely dis
played, with instructions to - follow copy,
which lye ;a l /41 :charg ed
ac
cordingly... The:, advertisement! could

preferable, and they got what they called

ples,—and on the whole faithfully execu

enough for the still recusant three. We
cannot agree that the latter, by a contiu

concession from those terms. We can
admit no stipulations concerning amnes
ty, from peoples who avow themselves
still hostile to , that suffrage which we
prescribed as a condition, fundamental
and absolute. We ask for no "bonds
from fate," in this business of reconstruc

State governments shall have become per
manently established, the paramount oh-
ligation of Federal authority no longer
questioned, and the XiVth Amendatory
Article shall como—as it will—to be re
garded' as 'Conferring a specially valuable
privilege upon both races at the South.
It is to be regretted that this Virginia
proposition has been entertained by Con
gress, so long with an apparent suspense
of its judgment. Discussion has gained
for it no friends among Union men,
while it has revived mischievionsly delu
sive hopes among Southern Conservatives.
For instance, Georgia .is about to send a
delegation of &itch lien as H. , V. Jour:-
So . *, A. H. STEVENS and other-leaders in
the late rebellion, to Washington, to take
prompt advantage of the Congressional
mistake which they hope for. And, in
_the meantime, the more patriotic hopes for
an early and just solution of the case of
4/eorgis itself are paralyzed, and the
rebel majority in her Legislature sullenly
defies an authority which they expect to
see at any moment removed. .Nothing is
plainer than that we need expect no sub
, mission, from an element which at this
hour claims the triumph of its own fraud,
as long as we stand parleying, with their
Virginia sympathizers, upon the expedi
ency of relaxing our own wisely ordered
and well-setted policy. When Congress
dismisses the appeal to its weakness, it
will find less difficulty in securing sub
mission to its power.
RAILWAV MATTERS.
A corporation, backed by the Erie rail
way clique, has been organized at Cin
cinnati for the construction of a bridge
between that city and West Covington.
At the, same time and place, Mr. JAY
Gomm signed, says the Commercial, "a
contract with a fast freight comOnay,
which is to have. possession, for its pur
poses, of the broad gauge to New York,
and that this company is largely if not ex
causively composed of the gentlemen in
this; quarter who are interested in the Star
line. on the Pennsylvania Central road.
Already at least two of the transportation
companies that have been operating here,
and making competition liv.ely, have been
warned off, and an advance in freights
may be expected within a few weeks."
It is possible to infer from this statement
of fact, that L the promises of advantage,
which competition is supposed to hold
out to the business world, are not always
realized *hen expected. •
_ The public expectation, that some effort
would be made, at Harrisburg, to secure
for our own roads legislative protection
against the current railroad-snatching
game, caused "a perceptible commotion"
to attend the recent arrival of railway offi
cials at our State Capital. We do not
Yet, however, see any important develop
ments to record, It may be remarked
that the Legislative authority, to prescribe
suitable regulations for the government
of corporations- doing business under
Petuiaylvsola charters, is not generally
questioned. Nor would the justice of an
appeal to that authority, for the needful
protection against an impending wrong,
be any more generally denied.

way, to the Erie Railway clique; was an

PITTSBURGH GAZETTE
The friends of a policy of Retrenchment
and Honesty in the conduct of public af
fairs will find, during the four weeks to
come, their vigilance,, nerve and endur
ance severely taxed. They have thus far
maintained the field, but' their successes
hayeibeen indecisive and the enemies to
the Treasury have not given up the fight.
Our friends will be pliid with arguments
and baser appeals of all sorts, to stifle
their opromition, and the first weak spot
h, the array of faithful legislators, the first
unguarded moment of a wearied vigilance,
will afford the golden opportunity for the
lobby to storm and sack the public •re
sources. Both House and Senate stand
pledged, by square votes, against the
grant of subsidies to private cqrporations
at this session. The people rely on those
pledges. If any member be weak enough

dently, as they say in the Harrisburg and
Washington lobbies, this Beaux-brand
has been "seen." And this is tlie way in
which this degenerate Southron goes back
upon his own record. He says: 4P‘
"The States have ratified the action of

the Union, as it was when it came from

TS RESPONSE to. inquiries made by us,
a few days ago, Mr. ELISHA W. Dens
has sent us the following note :
HARRISBURG, January 28, 1869.
DEAR SIR: I have no defense to make
for myself, or for the House of Represen
tatives, session of 1868. I think for ability
and integrity it will cdmpare favorably
with any of its predecessors. I write this
merely to correct an error that seems to
pervade the press generally. The Speak
er has nothing to do with the payment of
the officers. He draws his warrant for
the pay of the members, and here this re
sponsibility ceases. I never drew a war
rant for the pay of any officer or attache
of the press. Respectfully Yours,
E. W. Davis.

The New York Herald has the follow
ing important communication, signed
d , W," dated New York City, January
28, 1869: Seeing the contradictory state.
ments published in the papers regarding
the facts, or otherwise. of an order hay.,
ing been issued from the War Depart
ment to General Banks, shortly before
the fall of Vicksburg, directing him to
relieve General Grant, I beg leave to state
the exact facts in the case, and thus set
tle this much controverted matter.
While General Grant was operating in
front of Vicksburg, I was employed as
clerk inSecretary Stanton's office at the
War Department, at Washington.'Sec
retary Stanton wrote two orders, direct
ing me to make two copies of them, one
for telegraphing and one for tiling.' The
first of these orders was addressed to
General Banks, directing him to proceed
at once to Yleksburg and relieve General
Grant. The second order was to General
Grant, directing him to turn over his
command to General, Banks on the ar
rival of the latter,who had been ordered
to relieve him. do not pretend to give
the wording of these orders, I shall give,
However, their exact substance, and they
should be on file now in the War Depart
ment, unless they have since been re
moved. I will state further, the copies
of these orders to be transmitted by tel
egraph Isent by a- messenger of the War
Department telegraph office by order of
Secretary Stanton. These copies should
also be on the at the latter office.

Amusemen to
Report of Fire Marshal.
N. Grattan Murphy, late Fire .11.4rshal
of the oonnty. yesterday, submitted to
the Court of Commoh Pleas a report, in
cluding the losses by fire in the county
from March 23d, 1868, to July 26, 1868,
the' date of his resignation, with the
amount of Insurance. The total loss for
the time above named was $171,834; in
surance loss $106,661; amount of , insar.
ante on property destroyed, 8163,505.
In referring to the office of Fire Mar
shal the report says that the powers con
ferred upon the Marshal are inadequate
to a faithful perforuiance of the duties.
It also advocates or recommends the ay.
pointment of a budding inspector, to
whom plans of all buildings should be
submitted before the building is con
structed. •
It refers to the insecurity and the dan
ger to be apprehended in, case of fire in
some of the plates of amusement.in the
city, in consequence of their inadaptation
for the purposes for which they are used.
The report concludes as follows:
"I cannot conclude without being per
mitted to return my sincere thanks to
the Underwriters of this county for the
uniform courtesy and kindness they have
extended to me during a. period of four
years; also, to Chief Engineers Hare, of
Pittsburgh, and James Crow, of Alleghe
ny, and S. T. Paisley, Esq., Superinten
dent of the Pittsburgh Fire A la rm, for
valuable information."
Street Commissioners.
Eorroos aszErra: I seein yesterday's
Comircial that my friend Paterfamilias
faVors consolidation of three road dis
tricts in case he can have his favorite ap
pointed to the new office thereby created.
Now, I have a' better man than his in
view for such an office, bat:l would by
no - means interfere with the plans of my
friend Paterfamilias, and would there
fore respectfully suggeat to Councils to
consolidate three other districts in a sim
ilar way to give my man a chance: and
it would be a still further improvement
in the same line to consolidate all the
road districts into triplets, eaeh individu
al ;district having its commission
er as heretofore, or its .6'ub, as pro
posed in the new plan, and each
triplet its general commissioner, with a
good salary, and then a generalttommis
sioner-in-chief over the whole constella
tion of consolidations with a still better
salary. Indeed, nothing is so important
as the salary. This plan of commission
ers, from the subs up to the general-in
chief, forms the proper official pyramid;
and as those friendly to the measure had
much trouble in obtaining consolidation
and j urisdiction over these districts in
the first place,-they ought now to be al
lowed to reap the fall fruits of their la
bor. - MATERVAMILIAS.
FRom the report of the superintendent
of the Girard estates, just rendered, for
1868, 1 we find that the cash receipts for
that year amounted to $460,324 71, while
the expenditures for the same period
footed up to $247,876 86, leaving a bal
ance on hand, December 31, of $112,447,-
85. The college expenditures make an
item of $135,648 59.

functione troperly, they are regulated without
being irritated. if the bowels are cmstipated,
the perianths rvtion Is. moderate. ly increased,
and the discharges become natural and regular.
