The legislatures of Illiuois and Ohio linve passed resolutions of censure on tlio Members of Congress from those Stales, re spectively, who voted for the extra Con gressional pay. Dr. "W'm. M.

Schuyler Colfax arrived at South Bend, Ind., on Saturday, lie proceeded in a carriage to the Court House, followed by an escort '"consisting of carriages and wagons as far as the eye could reach." After an address of welcome by Mayor Miller, Mr. Colfax made a lengthy (speech in answer to the charges against him in connection with the Credit Mobllier busi ness. At the conclusion of his speech Col. Humphreys presented him with a letter having l.")00 signatures." attached, express ing the siguers confidence in the ex-Vice-l'resident.

We will publish the opions of tho Supreme Judges iu our next issue. Geo. S. Boutwcll, Secretary of the Trea sury, was elected to the U. S.

COT,. H. B. Death forwarded us a circu lar embodying tho conclusions of a com roittco of the Urand Army of tho Republic, relative to tho establishment of Industrial schools for the benefit of soldiers' orphans. It will be remembered thai Gov. Hartranft adverted to this subject In his annual mes sage. The committee referred to, after giv ing the subject mature consideration, re port against tho formation of industrial schools, assigning ns reasons that but n few industrial branches, aud those of the plainest kind, could bo taught, whilo the children would feel that they wero on a par with those of tho reform school. What is proposed, is embraced in the following paragraph of the General Order issued: "Wo propose that this Idea bo so extend ed that scholars, who desire it and are qual ilicd therefor, may be sent to the .School of Design for Women, the Agricultural Col lego or Normal Schools, and, further, that boys and girte incliued to learn any of tho mechanic or high arts that could not bo learned at their homes, or in Muall villages and interior towns, shall be provided, through the aid of tho members of tho Grand Army, with places in machine shops or elsewhere, nnd also with homes where they would be under proper inlluenees.and that the Stato should make up the deficien cy between tho amount earned by them nnd that required for their support during tho first year or two. Many girls who now have to struggle along as seamstresses, could earn a livelihood ns photographers, book-keepers, &c. Many boys with a nat ural talcut for engineering or ninehinery, could learn these professions, obtain good salaries and occupy a higher place in the community than "under existing circum stances." Thirty thousand dollars will be asked of the Legislature to carry this plan into ef fect. It is proposed to place this sum in the nanus ot Govcrncv llartrnoft and Su- pcrtnteiidenfc Wickeisham. It is a worthy measure and deserves suoccsi YJIKI'O.STAI. LAW. Slow it 1'hniigr Letter Itntcn T KxelMiior.vwiinier! -The Wonro I)1)t llt 80rry t(, fllu,t as wc lmVe clone by inquiring at the l'ost Office Department, that the proposition to reduce ltlu'r postage, together with other chauges in postal matter proposed by tha House Committee, failed in the Senate. Believ- ing that the change proposed was not called fr, and that it would very materially diminish tho resources of the Post Ollico Department at time when it is incurring lrge expenditures, to facilitate the prompt (i lot ri hilt. inti niwl 1 pa iiRni iwinti nl mml mnf. ter on postal cars, and to improve tlio ser vice generally, we took occasion to dis sent from the recommendations of the com ! mittec at the time they were made. Our I belief, as then expressed, was, and is still, tliat in view ot the much higher prices paid for mail transportation in this coutitry, thu wiutj uitiusiDii o: man laeilities over a ter ritory so much greater than that of ling land, which has been our model, we have reduced the rates of postage to tho lowest point attainable without involving the ne cessity of large appropriations by Congress. Three cent postage here, considering the service rendered, is quite as cheap as penny postage in England. It had been the aim and desire of Con gress and tho Department to bring the lat ter to a self-sustaining condition. This will be ultimately dono if wo are not com pelled to pay too heavily for railroad ser vice. The postal car system has very largely iucreased tho burdens of tho De partment, but it has wonderfully facilitated distribution nnd celerity of transmission, especially at stations on the great thorough fares. Tho clerical force required for this service is large and expensive nnd constant ly increasing 11s postal cars multiplied. The roads exact increased pay at an alarm ing rate. At such a time, therefore, wo caunot wisely attempt a further reduction of letter postage. Three cents for carrviii!' '. a letter from Boston to San Fraucisco, Low ' er California, or Oregon, is a pretty small figure. Vet, having once established a ! uniform rate we can not gel the consent of ' the Pacific States to pay more for a letter . than is charged for carrying it five miles. : The provisions requiring the prepayment ' of newspaper postage also failed. This . failure included the proposed change iu I rates on daily papers which will, as ucre 1 tofore, continue to pay thirty (.euts quar ' tcrly ; weekly papers five cents, j There was attached to the postal appro I piiation bill tho following clause : I I'rovidcd, That all laws and parts of laws i permitting the transmission by mail of any ; free matter whatever be, and the same are '. hereby repealed from utul after June 30, i 17;'. j This sweeping clause cuts oil' free ex changes, and also the distribution of week- ; ly papers free in the counties wlieru print ed. Subscribers to such weeklies will, therefore, after Juuu 3d, have to pay post- : hl'c on their papers, and editors will be charged with postage on all I he exchanges they receive Washinulon Chronicle.

This would make ncnrly seventy thousand farms of one hundred and sixty acres each, equivalent to three States the size of Massachusets. In Kan sas nnd Nebraska nlono. over fifteen en tries were made withiu tho year under tho homestead law. These entries represent a population of fifty thousand added to these two .States on lands freely prcsculed :by the government, besides a large number who acquired their homes by purchase. COIMIESPONDEXCE. Letter from I'liilHdelphlii. rJULADELrniA, March 1H, 1873. Friend WiiKcrt: 'Tis a pleasant, spring-like day that makes ono wish to bo iu the country to hear the blue birds sing one of those charming days that you can almost hear the grass prow 1 It has so far bwn a very peculiar March, very little real March weather, Biich as we usually anticipate hav ing this mouth. It has been very dry nnd blustery, as a consequence soon dried up the' mud. nnd now sends it in one's eyes in clouds of dust. Old weather prophets pre dict three months of dry weather, which, if so, will niutui iiilly nllt'Ct tlie price, of buy, and bo apt to cause a scarcity iu the sup ply for the next year. This year, how ever, the springs are well filled, nnd wo will not have a repilition of last year's trouble dry, hot weather nnd a scarcity ot water. I St. Patrick's Day greeted us with fine i weather, the opposite of what usually is j the case. The wind was high, and hats ) were ol'lener (lying through the nir or along 1 the pavements than upou the heads of thu owners. For some time our Irish citizens of Roman Catholic belief had been prepar- ; iug to celebrate the day of Ireland's Patron j Saint with more than usual earnestness, i As a consequence, yesterday, from early 1 dawn till late iu the evening, tho streets 1 were crowded with neople in every deseri bablo style of green badges, green uniforms, j &o. About 11 o'clock the procession ; moved, nnd, with many others, 1 was j greatly astonished at its fiue appearance, I aud what a line looking set of men they j were in most cases. Where usually we ex- ' peet to see, in fact I may say have seen, a ' rough, swaggering, staggering crowd, here was a well dressed, orderly, sober body of men. It was, as I said, a great astonish- : nient, and frei-ly expressed as such upon j the sidewalks, aud was a wonderment to many who knew not the cause. It is, wn nil know, a second nature for an Irishman to love whiskey. It has been their bane, and had well nigh ruined them as a people, , and rendering, day by day, the hopes for their restoration ns a nation futile aud im-! possible; and wc may well ask the qucs- lion, "What has caused the change?" for j change there has been, evidently. It is : simply again the old story of their devo- : tion more justly might bn called oppres- j siou, except in this case where the result ! was good to the dictates of their religious 1 faith as expounded by their priests. To ono of them be tho honor, as it is certainly due for a great good done. Father Burke, ! ns your readers well know, came over from j Ireland last year, and seeing the danger to his countrymen from the demon Drink, j told them plainly aud forcibly whither-; their steps were tending. And his noble words iu behalf of Temperance seem to have been productive of much good. Many of the organizations he started then wero ; yesterday in the procession, 50, liM) and ttOd strong, and the greater part of the i whole parade was composed of the Total Abstineueo Beneficial Societies connected with thu various Catholic Churches. A gentleman remarked to me that in one ' ward ol the city alone he had been sur- prised to find tho influence so great as to compel the closing of over sixty of those pests of morality, the low groggeries, from want of custom. To my mind it explained j the fact I had noticed of so many such ; places being advertised daily in the col- j umns of the Ledger for sale cheap. May . it continue is thu anxious wish of us all, 1 j have no doubt ! The day ended without , any disturbance and without being fol- ! lowed by a niht made hideous by drunken brawls, and so mote it be after nil such oc casions 1 No doubt many a poor Proles-1 tant went with a cold dinner, or without ; any, aud madam had to do without her j ride, as coachmen, cooks and horses were all in tho procession or upon tho sidewalk, I and all business was more or less stopped. Our city seems to be about receiving its ; just dues from the government. As you know, a commission sometime ago chose a location at Ninth and Chestnut, extending to Market street, iu all a half square, with fronts 00 three principal streets, viz: Mar ket, Ninth and Chestnut, for the site of ai new Postolllce and United Slates Court ' Rooms, and through tho exertions of our : Congressmen an appropriation inado to ! coiuineuee the same. To obtain it we bad 1 to fight the balance of the country, though j the need was pressing and acknowledged, j far more so than iu many other sections long ago furnished therewith. It, together : with the Public Buildings, Academy of 1 Fine Arts, Girard Avenue Bridge, N. Y. I Mutual Life Building, at Tenth and Chest nut streets, aud another Trust Com- pany. tho name of which I have forgotten, but know the efficient Superintendent of, Adams Express Company, E. Coleman, to be one of the Board of Directors, are about building up in fine style the present site of iho Adams Express office, on Chestnut be tween Third nnd Fourth streets, nil these with others not now iu my mind, will rx poi.d nu immense amount of money among us, which will benefit nil, more particular ly builders uud dealers in building mer chandize. Tho Masonic Temple is about completed and is a grand work massive, elegant, improving and growing in beauty tho more one looks at it. It was built without fatal accident, except in one case, and that of a man who was shoveling snow oil' the roof during tho past winter, falling to tho ground nnd being instantly killed.
