their Narraganset Indians to the suffrage.
These are also apprehensions that the

liable to the same objections which led
to the erasure of the word "nativity"
from its original draft. But, it is probs.

No CILLSGE, whatever, has been made

as regularly 'failed. The laws continue
unchanged, granting dlvorcos for the
causes usually specified, "and for any
other cause for which the Court shall
deem it proper that a divorcee should be
granted." It may be well enough to add
that the:opinion very generally prevaila
in that State that these legal provisions
are conducive to domestic happiness and
general morals, and should be maintained
accordingly. An opposite view obtains
very generally elsewhere.

PITTSBURGH GAZIE.fTE : FRIDAY.- MAY 28, 1869.
... . . ,
tended fla its undertakingi .in ~ the
direction of public opinion—these peen
.
liarities of our neighbor have been
steadily a subject of curious contempla
tion in this community. A. variety of
hypotheses have been from time to time
framed by the public, which were intend
ed to be explanatory of either of its vas
cillations in principle, or its terrible
blunders upon every grave matter of
tact. These hypotheses have had one—
and but one—element in common, differ.
in from the rest in every particular.
Ilt has been agreed on all sides that the
Commercial was faithfully and consistent
ly Democratic in this: that, whichever
way the political winds blew, its journal.
istic nose was never known to be painted
toward, anything else than the public
plunder. Constantly watching ior its own
chance to levy a chntribution out of some
treasury, national, state or municipal, not
a whimper of public virtue was everfieard
from the Commercial while its profit lay
in keeping silence. When its managers
could get neither a job, nor a fee, nor a
'blackmailing bribe, then their voices were
always uplifted, in high:sounding but
vague or empty accusations, as of late.
Tho dollar is the Commercial's touch
stone, not only for itself but for all other
men. If it cannot plunder, for itself, it
naturally* presumes not that plunder is
checked but that some one else is engaged
in it. Its normal idea of public morals
is that of an universal dishonesty. It
'presumes the rest of the world to be akin,
in the same idea, and that the public vir
tue of which it prates is_wholly a myth.
An old English philosopher held the
natural state of man to be one of war.
The later creed of the Rittsburgh Com
mercia/ maintains that state to be one of
_
peculation and jobbeyy—and it has its
own reasons, no dou bt, - for thinking so.
Evil to him who evil thinks! This pro
clivity to impute , moral obliquity to
others has ever been regarded by moral
ists, as a clear proof of moral perversity
in the censor. The standard by which
the Commercial has always measured
the ,rest of the world is simply
fatal to its own reputation. Always
consistent in holding some dirty
and scandalous evil to be the common.
aim of others as well as of itself, it has
constantly groped in the mire, wading
through the sewers of politics, and happy
only in gloating over some secret nasti- I
ness, Instead of walking erect and above
ground, clean itself and in a cleanly
world, and dealing with mankind in a
manly way under the light of thp sun.
Paugh I "An ounce of civet, good
apothecary 1 "
And what jewels has the Commercial
found among its congenial dirt? What
frauds has it exposed? What wrong
doer has it convicted? W here Is its
proof ? And only echo answers. When
ever it has ventured to \ stigmatize an in - -
dividual name, it has been squarely
met by that individual's public con
tradiction and challenge to the proof:.
Whenever it has denounced a spe
cific act, the facts are so far
wanting, to upheld 14 gross azcusations,
that the entire fabric of its calumnies
—upon men whose worst fault, in the
Commercial's eyes, is that they have not
winked at its own little game of public
plunder—has already fallen even below
the public scorn. N t one count remains
standing in the in ictment which its
trumpets have flotuis ed over for weeks
pas Its preaentme t has been quashed,
for its own im erfections, before
the jury Is een empannclled.
Ins of sub tting its proofs,
it 1 ores the -evade ce altogether. It
has of dared to print an authentic state
men, of the facts in connection with any
one Of its accusations against the late Re
publican legislature. It has not had the
honest boldness to put its finger upon one
specific case of that general corruption
which it has sweepingly Imputed to the
Republican party in 'Allegheny county.
It has rung the changes, for days and,
weeks together, upon Legislative dishon
esty, and upon partizan mismanagement,
cunningly adhering to generalities
and even evading any precise specifica
tions. It stands to-day a libeller not only
of a great party, but, worse than that, of
the fair name of an ancient and honored
Commonweiilth—a libeller without the
faintest shadow of any honorable justifi
cation. If, it could, it would have stabbed
Republicanism with a cowardly inuandol
and it has degraded its own State of Penn
sylvania, at home and abroad, with elan
ders which have as slender a base as the
fabric of any dream.
LEGISLATIVE CORRUPTION.
Rusks. Etrrons : It is eminently
wise and proper in journalists to battle
against c orruption ,' no matter what shape
may tak e,'
it or in . what tjuakter it 'may
develops newspaper :out' afford
to be right at all times,• and at no time do
.r
the people more earnestly endorse Its
courant= *hen Ininfally striving to
accomplish reform in any direction.
When the Pittsbur gh Cithrnercial first
sounded the signal,f warfare on what it
denounced as a corrupt and dishonest
Legislature, and proclaimed that pub-,
liemoneys were being*astedirid'plun.
deied by those charged with the high
duties of legislation, the people applauded
its course, admired its ostensible honesty
and only waited to form a verdict as to
the guilt of the entire body of law makers,
when that journal should spread the sup
posed facts held back before its readers
and fix with certainty its charges of ,
corruption on the . members.; Tim%
the public were prepared to believe that
all the honest men.of the Commonwealth
had not found seats in, he assembly, but
they did hesitate in passing judgment
on the whole body as a conclave of .thieves
and ,planderers. Time wore oil- Arei
.
_, .:
instead of' particularizing the sins of
members, the onslaught was weakened by
the employment of vague and uncertain
generalities, and crying out "plunder"
without showing where there was plunder.
The public mind soon underwent a change
and the child-like virtue of the Commercial
commenced to assume darker and darker
shades till it flashed on the people that
the attacks were not animated in the true
spirit of reform, but sprang from a desire
to degrade, in the estimation of good
citizens, gentlemen who, in sins of omis
sion, had drawn upon their heads the
wrath of that journal.
In the absence of any positive proof of
the universal corruption charged to the
late Legislature, I imagine that a few facts
having a bearing in the opposite direction
will find place in your columns.
It will be remembered that the signal
for bittei onslaught on the Republic=
majority of the Legislature was sounded
when the pasting and folding of the iwo
houses was brought before them. Two
individuals, anxious to obtain cheap no
toriety, proposed to do the work for
$9,000, or if they failed to obtain that
sum, to drop $2,000 in the price. The
Houses, measuring the contractors as men
anxious to make inroad to the Treasury,
even at a temporary sacrifice to be re
gained in the future, preferred that their
own officers should continue to do the
wdrk. By the Auditor General's report for
1868, I find that the officers of the - two
Houses, last year, cost $111,841 05. By
a law passed at the previous session, lim
iting the number and fixing the pay of
the officers of the two Houses—a law
framed and passedßepublicans—l
find that the officers f the recent Legis
lature were fixed as fpllows:
Two Chief Clerks A

Or, In round numbers, $50,000 saved
by the Legislature on the previous year's
expenses!
•Of the twenty-seven additional but
twenty•three ever took their place or re
ceived remuneration. Even the thirt,y
-four were not able to do the work. In
the caucus of Republican members it was
agreed to inciease the number eighteen,
believing that so many more were abso
lutely necessary. If any error was made
it was only to the extent of a surplus of
eight or ten men,
a matter trifling and
yet magnified Into such large proportions
by the editor of the Commercial.
F
Above I have sho in round numbers
that $50,000 was sa d by the last Legis
lature in expenses o ,er the preceding one.
lii it in the eyes of thb Commercial, to save
that sum was nothing, and the party de
serve no credit for the economy so long
as the two Houses refused to save nomi
nally about $3,000 by giving out the
pasting and folding to contractors.
The Commercial has accomplished but
one reult in its unwarranted attacks on
the at Republican Legislature; it 'has
furnished food for slander, to the opposi
tion journals, which.will most assuredly
be sent back to us in the approaching
campaign. In its wholesale denunciation
of "rings" and "party leaders," it vainly
'attempts to fly from the legislative cor
ruption topic, wtrere it never could hold
its ground, and sheltei itself in local pre
judices which must always exist against
meii'who, in the very force of character
which makes them leaders, gain for them
selves the jealousy and opposition of Those
with light brains, who keep their places
at tile foot of the ladder in all woHdly

Pennsylvania, iron ore, limestone and
Niel; the three principal e 1
einents of the
iron manufacture, are found , so near to
gether, in such large auantltles, and of
such superior quality. That anyone would
think that iron could be manufactured
there cheaper and better than anywhere
else in the world; yet when the .Pennsyl
vents iron maker has made his iron and
offers it for sale, he finds that a New
York iron merchant can bring similar
iron all the way from England, and can
pay freight on it and commissions, and
make a profit on it, and' then pay the
freight on It all the way from New York
to the very door of the Pennsylvania
ibundery, and sell it cheaper then the
Pennsylvanian can. What is the cause?
There are several, bit the principal one
k this: In order to make iron, it takes
a little iron ore, a little limestone, a lit
tle coal, and a prodigious amount of la
'bor. The three first ingredients are as
eheap in Pennsylvania as anywhere; but
the last and principal one, Labor, is au
much dearer in Pennsylvania and In the
'hole of the United States than im Eng

the other ingredients. the iron coats so
much more. to make than the English
