THOSE friends of aspiring politicians
'who have been indtstrious in intimating
(that their favorites "have been invited"
' lv General GRANT to enter the Cabinet,
are in rather a tight place, since the de
clarations of the President-elect last Sat

more "intimations" at present..
Tar, Legislative proposition to turn all
the legal advertising of this county into
the columns of an obscure print_ which
ninety-five per cent. of our tax payers
have never heard of, finds but little favor
at Harrisburg. Its introduction by one
of our members was a matter of personal
favor to a friend, and distinctly with the
understanding that' he should himself
vote against it.
'THE SUFFRAGE amendment, and all
other important legislation in which the
concurrence of Mr. Join:sox is not ex
pected, must be matured before the cloie
of the current week. Otherwise, the
President may pocket bills which are ob
noxious to him, and deprive Congress of
the opportunity to repass them over a
veto. This -* week, therefore, disposes of
the suffrage and of all reconstruction
business for the session.
The Senate amendment to the suffrage
articles - does not meet the-views of the
House Judiciary Conimittee, which holds
that, as it stands, "it does not prevent the
States from disfranchising men on account
of a previous condition of slavery, and
by inference, Congress may disfranchise
anybody, as the prohibition, as it , now
stands, relates only to the States." Yet,
it is quite possible that, regarding the lim
ited time for the discussion of differences
between the Houses, the House may con
sent, with or without a Conference Com
mittee, to the perpetual exclusion of the
.educational ..test, and accept the work of
the Senate, as it is now offered to them.
THE PRESS CORRESPONDENTS at the ,
Capital--really wield a most potent in
fluence, giving tone to the journalisrnof
the country, and a positive bias to public
opinion. These correspondents, with a
very few honorable exceptions, are en
tirely:without personal honor or political
-principle—men who either imitate or fear
the infamously notorious fellow whose
corruption was lately exposed in the
Alaska investigation. This man, and the
entire tribe of his following, are very
properly ignored by all good people in
the social courtesies of Washington soci
ety. Usually, they avenge this slight by
blackmailing the husbands and fathers
- who are at the
~same time politicians.
There are some public men at the Capital
who refuse to pay even that tax for the
support of the disreputable scribblers,
And against • ,such the whole pack, of
hounds are alwaysheard in full cry.
For example, it is said that the parties
and receptions at the house of General
Birri.riri are really the most brilliant that
Washington has ever known. 'BUTLER
himself regards the black -mailing hater
mity with contempt, and will neither buy
them off withmoney bribes nor social con
siderattori. This is an unpardonable of
fense,which Washington heck-writers will
never forgive. It is not surprising, there.

Tin SENATE NATURALIZATION BILL,
reported from its Judiciary Committee on
'Saturday, requires the declaration of in
lention and oato be made before a
Federal Court, orr a Commissioner of
.Bankruptcy, who is to be charged also

with the function ; all State tribunals are
excluded. Application for final papers
must be preceded by one -month's notice
of the intention, this notice specifying
1
the particulars concerning the previous
declaration' of intention. This notice o
be preserved on file for public inspectio .
Before the' final papers are granted, the
applicant must prove four and a hail:
years' citizenship, including one year
in the State. The notice and application
may be contested by any party filing an
affidavit; the contest shall be duly adjudi
cated by the Court. The blank certifi
cates shall be furnished from the state
Department, of a character to defy
counterfeiting. All papers now out, and
dated within the year preceding the pas
sage of this bill, are required 'to be pre
sented to the Courts or Commissioners and
approved, after proof of their non-fra l
ulent origin. Certificates of an of er
date, if not so presented and endors d,
may be challenged. Final papers when
voted on must be stamped "used," when
received, or "rejected" when not \re
ceived, and rejected certificates shall be
annulled by the Courts on proof of fraud:
the holders thereof are also required to
produce them on suspicion and demand.
Heavy penalties are fixed for the iss l ie,
reception or use of forged or fraudulent
Lficates.
There can be no doubt that the pro'

UNFORTUNATELY, in this ugly bus
from Georgia, General BUTLER w;
careless as to lose his temper, saying
things which overleaped the cooler j
ment of that majority of the House w
there are good reasons for belie
concurs with him in opinion upon
merits of the case. Taking a sh,
advantage of this, his opponents
beaten him, and given to an aw 6
question the go-by. Says the A.
Journal:
For once, we think Ben. Butle I was
decidedly in the right. Georgia has not
complied with the provisions of th Re
construction acts, and therefore s not
entitled to recognition or represent tion.
Her attitude up to November las was
one of quasi Rebellion and hostil ty to
i
p
the Union. Until Georgia has fUlly com
plied with the cardinal provisions f the
Reconstruction laws and the re uire
ments of the Constitution, by gr uting
equal rights to all her . citizens, sh can
n
not be e to , recog nition, an art-
nership intitled
the operattons of the F deral
Government.
Says the - Utica Iteraid:
This concurrent resolution (Ed
munds!) is one of the silliest things by
which any body of men ever attempted
to shirk responsibility. Butler was
right in making war upon this mode
of disposing of an unpleasant
duty; but ne was wrong the
manner and time of doing it. It should
have been done when the resolution was
before the House for its concurrence; and
the wonder is that any sane body of men
ever allowed themselves to be caught in
such a silly trap.
And, while Republican journals see
nothing in this busises beyond the duty
of abusing BUTLER in the roundest terms,
the old rebel element is carefully improv
ing the situation which Congress has_pro
pared for them. Virginia boasts that by
the forbearance and point-no-point , ' policy
of Congress, she is to "get better terms
than any other Southern State;" Georgia
snaps her,fingers at o:ngress and orders
a .new Congressional election lot next
month; Kentucky nullifies the Civil
Rights bill, and joins with Maryland in
spitting upon the XlVth Constitutional
article regulating representation in Con
gress.
TARIFFS• AND NATIONIL PROS
PERITY-CAREY ON WELLES.
An elaborate Report, from Commis
sioner WELLES, upon the subject of tar
iffs and revenue, was recently laid be
fore Congress, and has been generally
submitted to public opinion. Embody
ing a vast deal of correct information,
but interwoven with the most specious
fallacies of logic, and with artful but at
bottom unjustifiable inferences from cer
tain facts which were set forth promi
nently as decisive of the questions in
volved—this Reportdias been adopted by
free-trade journals everywhere, and made
use of with considenible effect, to assail
that principle of protection for the Nation ,
al industry which, in more or less perfect
forms, has been the National policy since
'HENRY CLAY distinguished himself as the
champion of the "American System."
In the meantime, politicians have been
too much engrossed •with other public
questions, of a pressing emergency, to
give proper attention in counteracting the
mischievous effects of this Report left un

reasons for doubting the justicb of those

recognized, but because other issues, of

disFovery. It seems that a man, accord- h

his 'ogs, afterwards, he noticed that they Il

which led him to try the eznerment of feed- C

five weeks the animal so fed could 'not bi
stand, for fatness, and the hogs being all
slaughtered, the one fed on kerosene with
his grain, weighed six hundred and thir

averaged only three hundred and fifty
pounds each. Naturally, the fattest ani
mal was tried into lard, and now comes
the most curious part of the story. When j

CUBA has not, as General Dulce re

rights as any other province of Spain.
On the contrary, while in Spain every
25.000. inhabitants elect a deputy, in Cuba
only one deputy is given to every 100,000
inhabitants. In Spain the suffrage is tree;
in Cuba it is conditional upon the pay
meht of a tax. Thus Spain, instead of
adopting reconciliatory measures, widens
the breach which already exists between
her and Cuba.

as well known to the operator to are the yolcas of
his most intimate angsaintatthes. The belief that
long standing coughs, and diseases of the lungs
upon which they are dependent, ire incurable,
are fast becoming Obsolete. One great adyautage
to be gained from this advance in medical knowl

competent to a ff od
relief. The error which had
taken hold of the public mind in regard to the
curability of consumption, or rather non-curabil
ity, is fast becoming obliterated, and it is well
that It should be so ,_ not that persons should lose
'that salutary fear which would make them apply'
for a timeiy remedy, but that all might be indu
