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

1871.

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.

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.
