!C fcftxrsoman. "THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1861. A proposition is before the Penn sylvania Legislaiurc to change the term of office for State Senators and Represen tatives, making the former four years and the last two vcars. The proposition orig- itiBtes with Senator Finney, and is said to he iutonded lo head off the grand army of borers who occasionally walk in and take nost-ession of the Legislators. .As the terms of these offices arc fixed by the Constitution of tbe Commonwealth, it will require an aaieudmcnt of. that instruaont to change the in. The Financial Results of Buchanan's Ad ministration. Hon. John Sherman recently made, in the House of Representatives, a conci-e and very forcible exhibit of the conditiou in which the national finances are placed The absolute public debt ouWuuolog at thiH moment, is no lees than S9,00l),OO and adding what ta required to satis!y the Choctaw and other Indian car debts, to mako good the Indian trut fund, and other special object, the amount of drbt becomes S96,itS,UlM. The public debt, four years ago, was only SSO.OUO.SSG, a gaint which th-re was a balance in the treasury of $17,710,114, making the nest actual debt at that iitr.s only 11,350, 562. The increase of dibt in four year? bBs been no h ss than S(54,J38.722, or at the rate of $21,500,000 per annum. The Chicago Tribune, referring to the thn-at of Jt-fft recn Davis to marob upon Washington, hays: It would not be surprising if the march ing of fifty thousand 'confederates" upon Washington were followed by the march ing of one hundred thousand Hoosicrs upon New-Orleans. The game of inva fion is one whioh a pair can play at, and it say be cheaper in the end to dofend Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati at the mouth of the Mississippi than anywhere tlse.

O Hjra, m coramand at Fort .'-cllea, is doing noble service, mounting those heavy guns, a daily report of the caliber of which is board here, at nunri-e and sunset, sound ing like a clp of thuud-r. Bv the by, we heard a joke in reference to them, a day or two ago. During tbe day, Capt O'Hara having mounted one or two of ihese large Coluoibiads, concluded to try one of them and sec how they fired. Accordingly he belched forth one of those fronting fcoit Pickens, which shook eve rything around and awoke Piok-nf, which immediately beat to arms, and in a mo ment every gun on that fort wan tn.nned Col. Forney was atoui-bed at hearing the gun fired from Fort McRea during hour, and seeing Picken jaaaued, scot dowu to inquire what was the matter he found nothing hurt. Our boys are anxious to got at the Brooklyn. The crew of that vessel is composed alicot entirely of Ab olitionists, and have boooaie very obnox ious. They have not had decency e noah to treat respectfully those who were kind enough to honor them with a -visit. The nezt Congress. In oasc it should becosue necessary to , call a fpeoial session, its oompltrion po litically will be a matter of some interest. The new Senate numbers twenty-nine Republican member, to whom Kansas will add two, making thirty-one llepubli cans, and twenty-three Deajocrats. The Houfe already oonsi-ts of ninety-nine Re publicans, against fifty-four opposition of all sorts Connecticut. Kansas, New Hampshire and Rhode Island may be ex pected to add ten to this number. The Democrats already chosen are forty seven, and fifty more to be cbofeu, with three or four doubtful. Uuiecs the revolted States return, the Republioans will have a clear snajority in both Houses.

One judg ment against him has been obtaiued and the amount paid, and several siniilur suits are still pending. A- free use of raobey was charged upon him, at the time, but as emphatically denied; and it seems now that the denial was not without pretezt, from the fact I bat promises to pay were frequently substituted for tbe money. The cash system should be adopted in'the political service, which would prevent these mortifying developments. KGBT PICKENS.

The London Daily News thus pointedly describes tho aspect of the Pro-Slavery Rebellion in the Gulf States as it was just before the inauguration of Mr. Lin coln : 'Wo see the Southern Democracy, bar barized by Slavery and ita influence, coer cing their own leaders. We see a cor rupt and traitorous Federal Government in close proximity with the rebels. We see a Congress at its wit's end at finding ltdolf living in revolutionary times. sec the tory element of the North playing into the bauds of the tory society of the South." Tbe last sentenco hits the truth exact ly. The friendi of Slavery in the North ern States who carry their lovo of that institution so far as to desire the destruo tion of the Federal Government for iu benefit, are tbe lineal dependents of tbe Tories . who opposed Washington and sought to 'defeat the attainment of Na tional Independence ib the Bevolution. une Bie- Calculations.
