A bill has been introduced into
the Slate Senate looking to an appro
priation a million of dollars we be
lieve for the centennial exhibition.
Under the new Constitution no such
appropriation can be legally made,
and we are curious to ece what inge
nious dodge will be resorted to, to
obtain this sum from the Slate treas
ury. This bill Las been postponed
for the present, but it will bear watch
in jr.
vise that the oppressed taxpayers pe
tition the Court at its next session, to
enjoin then from collecting the un
necessary and burthensome tax which
they have just imposed. If they
will exercise neither sen.o or discre
tion in the imposition of taxe, they
must be taught that they are not in
vested with supreme power.
A joint committee of both Houses
of the Legislature has been raised to
report what changes are necessary in
the Capitol building, to accommodate
the enlarged Legislature, that will
first assemble next winter.
We trust that this committee will
fairly face the music and report in fa
vor of an entire new front building
to the Capitol sufficiently extensive
to accommodate both Houses. A
'present appropriation of fifty or a
hundred thousand dollars to enlarge
end icfuriii.-h the present hall of the

ArTAHEXTLY, the local option bat
tle is to be fuught over again in the
present Legislature. A large num
ber of petitions have been presented
in the House, asking for a repeal of
the present law, as adopted by a por
tion of the counties and towns of
the State, and the enactment of a
peneral and stringent license law uni
form throughout the Commonwealth.
On the other hand the temperance
men arc bestirring themselves, and
are remonstrating against the repeal
of the present law. Doubts having
been expressed, as to the right of the
Legislature to interfere with local
option, until the expiration of the
three years for which it was adopted
by the various localities, it is propos
rd to submit the question of the right
to repeal to the Attorney (Jeaeral for
hie opinion.
The buzzing of candidates has al
ready commenced, and we have heard
ot at least half a score of gentlemen j "
willing, nay anxious to serve the
people in the next Legislature. As
the general election will not be held
1!!m.k the regular Democratic
nominee for Mayor of the city of
Philadelphia, having refused to be a
enndidate, the Democratic convention
again reassembled, and declining to
: make another nomination, reeommen
Ided the voters of that party to sup
jport Col. A. K. McC'ii.-c as an inde
' pendant or citizens candidate. The
I redoubtable McClurohas formally ac
jeeptedthis left handed nomination,
and the no less fragrant Forney en
dorses the nomination, and advocates
it in the V-t. We are giad that
this is thus. It properly and f.piare
ly places those pestilent demagogues,
aud arrant political-reform humbugs
McClure and Forney in the Demo
cratic ranks where of right they, be
long, and prevents their doing further
mischief to the Republican organiza
tion to which of late years they pro
fessed to belong while they were unre
mittingly and assldulously laboring
for its overthrow. Both attempted
to dictate President t! rant's appoint
ments, and were rivily, but totally i
nored ; both opposed and maligned
(lovrrnor Hartranft, and were signal
ly rebuked, and both are now, under
the guise aud cry of Reform, a:tciu;it

the primaries should not be held until ! l,art-v cau not c,alro1 or furll,, r
September, it strikes us that it ;s ', 'J laboring fo its overthrow.
inc acceptance o inu noiiiinauou
by McClure and his support by For
ney, is predicated onjthe hope that the
'Reformers" of the city will strike
hands with the Democracy, for the
eonsumation of this very transparent
dodge. It will be morally refreshing
to see the square toed citizens of the
(Quaker city, marshalled under the
banner of Reform by two politicians
whose names are connected with
nearly all the political and Legislative
frauds perpetrated in the common
wealth for the last score of years.
Surely insolent assurance ronld go
no further, than in this case.
rather crowding the mourners to
open the ranvas at so early a day.
However, as it is not our funeral,
and as candidates may be acting on
the principle of enjoying themselves
while they can, for soon the night
Cometh, we don't propose to G!c any
Fecial objections to their present ac
tivity. ?ic do suggest to the voters,
Lowever, that as under the new or
der 'of things, they arc entitled to
elect two members, they elevate in
stead of lowering the standard of
qualifications. The days of local leg
islation, w hen special "acts" weie to
be obtained, or prevented, are now
passed, and we want and should
Lave "memlters" with broad and
Catbolie views, able to grasp and
comprehend the wants and interests
of the Commonwealth, and not mere
local politicians knowing or compro-j
bending nothing beyond their bor
ough or township limits. Some men
are well qualified to discharge the
titties of one office, that are wholly
Unequal to the functions of another,
and year after year, simply because
they peek them, we ore electing men
to positions of high responsibility
and trust, that we would not make
executors or trustees of our individ
ual estates. Relieving that this evil
t-bould be reformed, and that at the
advent of the new Constitution, and
tLe viany radical changes that it will
Lriug about, is a good time to elevate
the standard of qualification for all
officer, we make these suggestions
to the people, who are sovereigns in
the matter.
Tiik new election bill has passed
both branches of the Legislature, has
been signed by the Governor, and is
now a law. The severe virtue of our
legislative Solons is made apparent
in this bill, and all officials who have
might to do with future elections are
hedged in with such a cordon of
pains and penalties, as to create the
belief that some reformed prostitute,
conversant with "ways that are dark,
and tricks that are vain,' in brief, one
who "has been there, and knows how
it is himself' contrived the machinery
by which rogues are hereafter to be
ensnared.
We are not of those who believe
that, there is no honesty but what is
enforced by fear, and it looks to us
as if this law was framed on the hy
pothesis that all men are born scoundrels.-
It was formerly held as a sound
principle of law that, all men are pre-
sinned innocent until they are proved
FkoM the Auditors Hatcmont .f; guilty, but of late-years both our Na
the Receipts nnd Expenditures of
the County, for the last year pub

an actual surplus in the Treasury of
$12,:S4,0C which whb;thc2,lt41,3C

fives the new Treasurer the snog lit
tle sum of $15,725, 42, with which
to commence official house-keeping.
"What is he going to do with it ?"
Ha can not legally invest it for his
own benefit. There is no provision
made for its investment, for the lx n
t of the taipayers, and the only re
maining inference therefore is, that it
is to lie idle in the hands ol the
Treasurer. If the taxpayers think
this in a wise and prudent manage
tired of it, and one of these metropoli

KLACKWELL'S ISLAM).
There is a narrow strip of land,
dropped into the waters of the Fast
River, and runnin'' upward about
two miles; from oppsite the Toot of
Fiftieth street, winch has been
brought into uuusuul prominence of
late, from having become the resi
dence of the L'x-Ross, Wm. Mcrcey
Tweed. Devoted eutirelv to the
Institutions of the Department of
Charities and Correction, it contains
a population, of over seven thousand
souls and such souls ! From Luna
cy on one end of the island, through
all the forms of crime and pau
perism and disease, to Small Pox on
the other.it is a mine of study for the
soliloquist, and a place of grave inter
est to all.
The northern point of the island
juts into the boiling tides of Hell
Gale, and bears a fine light-Louse,
newly constructed bv the labor of
the convicts in the Penitentiary.
Near this is a singular structure
Fort Maxsey the work of an old
man, who for some forty years has
been an inmate of the Lunatic Asy
lum, and who, fur all this length et
time, moved by the same delusion,
has toiled and toiled, building and
re-building, with the belief that the
defence of the city depends upon his
works, livery board washed ashore
by the current, every scrap of iron or
stone he can pick up, all the paint
and nails which the small sums given
him by visitors can buy, is utalizcd,
and ttie product, with its worwlcn
guns, its moat and drawbridge, and
what-not, is n wonder of patient, co
herent work and reasoning from an
insane conviction. Near by r.re the
buildings of the Lunatic Asylum,
with some twelve hundred inmates;
among them many, the peculiarity of
whose delusions render them espec
ially interesting. These delusions
are for the most part pleasant ones
dreams of exalted power, unbounded
wealth, matchless beauty. You will
see in that building a woman of, per
haps, forty-five, who claims to be the
moiLcr of God. She was, twenty
years ago, the most prominent of the
teachers of New York. Now, she
tells you gravely of her visit to heav
en last evening, and of what she
saw and did there, and she presents
you with diamonds, which are glass,
obtained from the coal-scuttle.
Another believes himself to l.c the
Kmpcror of the world, and is deco
rated with stars and garters, cut
from his bed-quilt. He turns around
thrwi times at each sentence, and
tells you the exact way in which
each country of the globe ca"ie into
the possession of his family nnd him
self. Then there is a tall, fine-looking
man, who perfectly rational on
all other subjects thinks that he is
our Savior, and refuses to water his
garden because if his Father, God,
wished it watered he would send
rain, and to interfear would be diso
bedience on his part.
Further down the island comes the
theWork-Hor.se, filed with drunk
ards, vagrants, street-walkers ; and
further still the Alms-House for the
aged, Minn, elecrepid. One depart
ment of this institution is the Incu
rable Hospital, occupied by old men
and women, paralytics, and suflerers
frm incurable diseases. More than
one has come here to end a life which
has endured already for more than a
century, and all have exceeded their
allotted three-score and ten.
Next is the Penitentiary, with its
OOO eel's, all full, and its distinguish
ed guest, Ross Tweed, performing
resignedly and quietly the menial du
ties of hospital-orderly. What an
episode in the annals of New York !
Win. M. Tweed, who ruled us all,
who gave and who took awaj",
whose statue was to decorate our
public squares, brought tip a felon
on the very boat which had so often
borne him and his retainers of the
American Club as distinguished vis
itors to the island, tumbled into the
bath-tubby a man whom he hud him
self appointed, shaved, cropped, cloth
ed in stripes and east into a cell six
feet by four! There is a funny side
to this as to everything else. Upon
the card which hangs over Tweed's
bed, like those of the other convicts
his occupation is given as "states
nun," an unintended satire.
Rut I have dwelt too long upon the
institutions of the island. Theyj
are admirably managed, and, for a
never been seen here before. Jan
uary 24th was as mild, warm, and
balmy as was ever known in May.
Windows were universally open, and
iu the middle of the day fires were
allowed to go out. It is fortunate
that the depression of labor is accom
panied with weather so mild. The
poor appreciate weather that admits
of a cutting down of expenses. Rut
what a condition this warm weather
leaves the streets in ! New York pays
$100,000 per month for street-cleaning,
which is never done. The av
erage citizen hails the advent of
cold weather, for the filth is frozen
up; but this season, it is all in a
state of fearful liquidity. The streets
runfilth in livcrs.and "if this weather
should continue, an epidemic of some
sort may be reasonably expected.
A RF.LiI0i;s movement.
The clergymen of the various
Evangelical Churches of the eitv
have determined to begin in Februa
ry an united effort inthewavofa
revival of religious feeling in
tlic hope that it will sr.read
an over me country. Daily prayer
meetings are to be held, nirbtlv
meetings for preaching in the church
es and all the available halls; street
preactiers are to be set at work in
the open air ; printed matter is to be
used presistently, and the advertis
ing columns of the daily papers arc
to be utalizcd, to awaken the masses
to a deeper feeling in Religion. The
various Christian associations join in
the movement, the object of which
is to crush out the growing tenden
cy to loose" living, and the wicked
ness which is becoming fashionable.
It is a singular fact that
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CIU KCH,
has signified its willingness to join in
the movement. The priests of that
denomination admit that soma such
movement is necessary to rescue
their people from the growing influ
ence of rum and dissipation general
ly. Dissipation is the first thing to
attack, and the teachers of nil denom
inations feel the ncceasity of a move
ment upon it. The movement will,
doubtless, be a great success here,
and will, of course, spread. The
year 1S74 will be memorable as a
year of great religious fervor.
