LEE & CO. 1 StroudJjurg, Auj. 18, 1S70. if. The Democratic Party as a Retrench ment Party. The Republican Legislature of 18C8 passed an act, still on the statute books, fixing the number and compensation of the officers of each branch of the Legis lature. The number of officers of the Senate was fixed at 1 chief clerk, 2 assistants, 4 transcribing clerks, 1 librarian, 1 serge ant at arms and 2 assistants, 1 door-keeper and 2 assistants, 1 messenger and two assistants, 1 superintendent of the fold ing room and G pasters and folders, 1 doorkeeper of the retunda, 1 postmaster, 1 fireman and 5 pages C2 in all. The Republican Senate of 1860 was or ganized in strict compliance with this law, the Republican members presenting, a resolution for the election of candidates for the places above named, no more and no less. But, before their election took place, the Democratic members, to show their conviction that this was providing more offices than the Senate really need ed, put forward Mr. Burnett and Mr. M'Candlcss to offer an amendment to the resolution, for the election of a smaller number of officers, to wit : by leaving out one of the assistant messengers, the post master, and all the pasters and fol Jers. For this amendment all the Democratic Senators voted, the vote 18. standing 15 to The Democratic Senators, when in the minority, thus placed themselves on the record as believing that this was all the Senate needed, in the way of officers that the act of 18CS was, in fact, too liberal. In 1871 the Democrats had, accident ally, a majority in the Senate. Did they carry out, then, their programme of 18Gi)? Let us see. They put themselves on record, then, as thinking that the Senate needed no pasters and folders, and that that body could get along with less officers than the law allowed. But the moment they came into power, they proceeded to elect not only all the officers authorized by the law of 1868, but more than the legal number, although that act positively prohibits the election of any greater number of officers by either branch. As for instance : The law of 1868 allows two assistant clerks ; the Democratic Senate had three; the law allows only four trauscribing clerks ; they had five ; the law authorizes two assistant doorkeepers ; they had three; the law provides for six pasters and fold ers j they had eight ; they had also three firemen, where the law allows but oue. And oue watchman, oue janitor, one laborer and one assistant librarian, for none of which was there any provision of law, to say nothing of nine pages, where they could legally employ but five. We thus find 15 Democratic Senators voting in 1860 that the Senator needed no pasters and folders, and 17 Democra tic Senators in 1871 voting to employ and pay nine (including the superintendent) of these useless officers. The same 15 Senators declared in I860 that the law of 1868 was too liberal, and allowed more officers than the Senate needed ; whilst the 17 Senators voted the number alto gether too small, and proceeded to mul tiply new officers without stint. The dif ference is, the 15 were in the minority ; the 17 were in the majority. It i3 a very retrench aud economical party when it is out of power, but a very expensive one when it gets in. The law of 1868 authorizes the Senate to elect or employ 32 officers, including every subordinate ; the Democratic Senate of 1871 elected or employed 40 officers 17 more than the law allowed, and 26 more than the Senate really needed, them selves being judges, as is evidenced by their vote for Burnett's resolution in 1869. But this is not all. The act of 1863 fixed the cotnpresation of all these offi cers, and enacted that under no circum stances should they be permitted to draw more pay or receive any extra allowance. This wholesome provision of law was to tally disregarded by these Democratic re treuchers. The pay of nearly all the of ficers is fixed by that law at $600 each; but the 49 officers employed by the Demo j cratic Senate have already been paid $47,904 50 or an average of nearly a thousand dollars each. Look, people of Pennsylvania, at these figures. The pay of the officers ol the Republican Senate of 1870 was $26,466 65, and the total cost of the session was $92,260 35. The pay of the officers of the Democratic Senate of 1871 was $47, 904 50 nearly double that of the previous session, and the total expenses of the ses sion thus far paid are $110,757 68. As these are probably over $10,000 of claims under this head yet unpaid, it is perfectly safe to put down the total cost of the late Democratic Seoato at $150,757 6S an increase over the expenses of the previous Republican Senate of $58,407 33. This is a fair illustration of Democratic precept and practice. That party is pro fuse in economical professions, when out of power; but invariably, when in power, plunges into extravagance. "Witness New York and the Democratic Senate of 1871. In ten years milch cows have increased ten per cent. in Vermont. Tho butter', Ml- ...II produce has increased to millions and cheese has decliued three million pounds. A Brooklyn mother advised her daugh ter to oil her hair, aud fainted flat away when that candid damsel replied, "Oh, no, ma. It ppoils the gentlemen's vests !" To the Editors of Pennsylvania : Gentlemen : Having read the selec tions from sixteen papers published in the State Journal of August 2Gth, con demning the policy in regard to the tem perance ticket of August 9, I am satisfied the character of this movement is not understood. Without intending it, 6ome of you are doing a great wrong to the main body of temperance men. - You speak of it as an action for which the temperance cause is responsible, and as if it had some official character. It is only a movement by a very few dissatisfied men who have separated themselves from the main body, and in the language of their address of August 25, "formed a party- adopted a platform, and nominated candi dates." This movement had its origin with thef present editor of the official organ of the Good Templars, who was joined by a few men of good character, he having made them believe that the cause bad been "sold out" by the President of the May Convention, and thus induced them to unite with him in a call for the August meeting. On the 30th of June, the State Central Committee was appointed, and the leaders of this August movement ac cepted positions in that committee, and met with it July 11. Having accepted this position under the authority of the May Convention, the August Convention should have been abandoned, as the rea sons assigned for it no longer existed. But these men met, and in spite of all efforts to prevent it, placed in nomination a State ticket. To justify their action, they then said "we are acting as in dividuals, without official authority." Now they claim official character, and say they ''have formed a party, &c." From these facts it will be seen this? action is nothing less than rebellion against the authority of the May Coaven tion, of which these men still claim to be a part. Temperance, as a body, therefore are in no way responsible for this ticket. Already several District Conventions in various parts of the State have repudiated this action, the State Central Committee are preparing to do so, and other organiza tions will follow. Let this faction be treated hcreofter so as not to involve any man who is true to his principles and faithful to his pledges. P. Coombe. Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 29th, 1871. Butterfly, Butterfly, Where Are You Go ing ? Hartford, Conn., has been favored with a flight of the most beautiful butterflies passing overhead in a southwesterly di rection for the better part of three days. Beginning on Saturday, the 16th ult., the novel migration continued throughout Sunday, and only came to an end on the afternoon of Monday, the 21st., at which time the insect flight assumed portentous proportions, as if a heavy rearguard were bringing up the column. 'Ihe insects are described as flying at all heights, from three to five hundred feet in the air (at which height we must be pardoned some scepticism), and are represented as about four inches across tho wings, from tip to tip, and of "a rich cinnamon color, deeply veined with black bars and lines in various patterns, and a broad dark border, pret tily marked by a triple row of white spots, as finely and evenly placed as the most fastidious critic could wish." If the won derful story be true, (though the seeing a four-inch butterfly five hundred feet up in the air is pretty tough), the sight of so many pretty fluttercrs must have been charming indeed. Young Trees in Hot Weather. July and August are usually trying months for young trees. Those thai were set this spring, and have appeared to bo doing well thus far, may succumb to the long continued heat and drouth of midsummer. It is safest to malch all young trees, but where this has not been done, all those that show signs of suffer ing should bo attended to at once. A timely mulching may save tho tree. It makes but little difference, what material is used so the soil around the tree & prevented from losing its moisture by evaporation. Stones, if most convenient, will answer as well as anything. If the tree has an exposed trunk, it should be protected from the intense heat. A couple of boards tacked together like a trough, and set up against the trunk will furnish the required shade, or the truuk may be bound with a hay rope or be loosely strawed up as for winter protection. Pasturing Hogs in Summer. A correspondent of the Couutry Gen tleman, writiug from Hamilton county, Ohio, says, the system of all good hog raisers in that region is to pasture hogs on clover during tho summer. Ho pre sents, as the advantage of this plan, tho statement that an acre of ground in clover, will pasture five hogs four months, and that it will take the corn from half an acre to feed them at the same timo. The cultivation of the corn he counts equal to the rent of the other half acre, lie further claims that hogs pastured ou clover aro in far better condition than if fed on corn, as they are larger framed. j'fieaUhier, and eat better ; and also states that the land 13 enriched by tho clover . pasturing. The latest uovelty in New Hampshire is an insane horc at Ashland. Iudianu has one huu-lreJ and fourteen jbreweiics. ,1 x n
