As under the new Constitu tion none but "institutions of purely public charity" can he exempted from taxation, it is difficult to t-ec where the Legislature is to derive the pow er to comply with the prayer of these retitiuiicrs. Jr wiil be observed that the new Judicial apportionment bill reported by Senator Hutan, in dividing our present district, erects Franklin and Fulton into one district, and Bedford oiid Somerset into another. We trust the bill will will pass in this shape, as it nnkvs an equitable apportion ment f the districts according to population, and also of the labor be iwecii the present judges. J!it. FosT.MASTr.R General Cbesu- wei.i, is ingenious in devices. His lat-t one is to compel publishers of newspapers to pay postage in ad- .i i e t i . - vance at tue place oi puuiicawuu. This is nothing more or less than nn attempt to make publishers col lee! the revenue, for which duty thousands of po.-tmastcrs all over the country are paid, and as a gener al rule do it we'd. Congress, we feel i,3iiri.il xriil not enact anv law of this nature, onerous both to the peo ple and to publishers. In view of the rapidly approaehiu township and borough elections, we deemed the new election law would be as interesting reading to a major ity of our subscribers as anything we ould lay before them. We therefore Mihlir.li it in full in this issue, so that all those who desire may be fully conversant with its provisions before ihov nre 'called uto3 to cast their next ballot. Election officers partic ularly, should study it well, as there are many changes made in the nature T their duties, and without a proper knowledge of them they may bad vcrtently commit errors that will cost them future trouble. Attorney General PiMMicK.de- :.!..; that the Le-'islature has the '.al riaht to repeal the ' local option t !'' This we never doubted, al though others have held, with much force, that th law being adopted by popular vote, in fact made by the people in their primary capacity, could ;idy be repealed by the power (the people) that adopted it. The legal right to repeal being virtually settled, the remaining and important ques tion to be solved by the Legislature is, should the law be repealed with out popular sanction ? Tiir. women in some portions of Ohio, have instituted a prayer cm Mile against the grog-shop-keepers, They assemble in gangs, march to a grog-shop and open out a prayer tnect ii.cr in the bar-room, or if refused ad mittance, take possession of the steps, r the pavement, aud fire away, at the del il within. These pious souls doubtless mean it all for the best, but we arc incliued to think that, neither female delicacy, permanent moral re form, or the cause of religion is sub served I,v this Cerv and ludicrous zeal. The Illinois Legislature has at tempted a novel experiment in the way of controlling operations in the .irraiu trade of the State. Fines rang ing from 10 ti $1,000, and imprison ment in The county jail for a year, t.iav be visited upon any one who t-.-!Is for future delivery stork or pro cure which he dors not own at the lime. The same fute awaits any one v h tt ts uii a "corner, or even tries M do it, r egitites the market with false runiuH f ;r the purpose of spec idiitio.j. This will make it livelv for the Cuiejgo dealers, provided the provisions of the law can be enforced. Wnr' we urged as an objection to ihc adoption of the new Constitution, that it would largely add to the ex penscti of the Slate, particularly in the increase of the Judiciary, we were finilv told that we were making sin untruthful statement, nnd that ac cording to the calculation of a very reliable meuJier of the convention, the increase would not exceed seven at the iiinft: Well, the Judicial ap portionment bill has been reported to the Senate, and provision is made for iV.'u-en additional Judges of the Courts jf C'ommoa I 'leas, die Coustiiution provides for two additional Judges f the Supreme Court, and a bill is pending which must pa, erectiug Ojiuaun.'

Washington, P. C, Feb. C Leading Washington correspond ents for democratic papers hae com mitted the blunder of attacking the administration because, as they al lege, a large number of men w ho are enlisted in the Army are detailed to serve Army officers in the capacity of messeugers, coachmen and even waiters. The Army and Navy De partments are admitted to be run without regard to party, and this at tack shows the animous of the oppo sition, and their determination to make a factious attack at all points without regard to the real merits of extravagance cliargeu. 1 tus detail ing has always been the custom. It was done before the war ana 6ince under Andrew Johnson. Mr. Wheel er, of New York, a Republican, uf.cd this fact as an argument in favor of curtailing the army iu preference to the civil service, because the countrv wauld not suffer from a reduction of 23,000 men, if all thus employed out side of the line of their legitimate duty, and those who were in the oast and who were of no use, save to fig ure on dress parade, were sent to the frontier or elsewhere where their ser vices are required. The proposition to save $10,000 per annum by stripping the Capitol of its police, and in lieu thereof de tailing some of the metropolitan po lice for which Congress in part pro vides is a picayune business. There are about half the number of police men in Washington h.t capita that are usually employed iu cities. They are above the average of policemen, but it would be shameful to establish a grade of guardians for the Capitol buildings that are only sufficiently intelligent to catch thieves and break ers of tha peace on the street. The present Capitol police force arc chief ly composed of educated men who were maimed in the late war, and basides guarding the building, they are often found insufficient in number to perform the innumerable offices which they are called on to fill during the sessions. The Southern Republican Associa-1 tion is engaged in discussing ques tions of importance to the country connected with the development of the resources of the South by Manu factures and cheap transportation. At a meeting last evening the Presi dent and one of the mombers, lion. Geo. S. Fisher of Georgia, made very successful showings of the interest which the general government has in this Southern development. Statis tics evidence, that a Southern water line connecting the waters of the Mis sissippi with those of the Atlantic would prove a most invaluable ad junct to the prosperity of the nation, and that the loan of capital or credit of the government for such an im provement must yield a ready return besides conferring a lasting blessing upon the masses in U sections of the country. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia iVess states that the previous investigation of our Dis trict affairs cost one hundred and ten thousand dujlars and prved the false hood of charges made by many of the same men who have just sucreed ed in driving the House into a joint investigation of the District which will cost more than the last AH this in the name of economy. The admission of General Harney who has fought the Indians all his life, and is well qualified to judg their characteristics, very daniage ingto the veracity of many military men regarding the Indians. He has given it as his opinion before the House Military Committee that ll the Indians are honestly treated.' snd not plundered, they will live ! peaceably on their reservations. He I says that Indian outbreaks arc usu-j ally made to avenge injuries offered ! them by agents and the hangers on i around the camps, who live by de ceiving and robbing them. These are the same soundrcJs who arc con tinually sending eastward terrible stories of Indian butcheries aud how they mutilato their victims. Many of our masses swallow these stories as gospel truth, and there is often some truth in them, thanks to the dihonet machinations cf these pa thetic story hatchers. The House Appropriation Commit tee appear to bo smelling around the Treasury pretty keenly of late. Thuir report that "the slush fund" a tech nical came for the money appropria ted to pay increased compensation to deserving and meritorious clerks is divided on the biblican plan of "to Lim that hath i-hall be given" will cause an intelligent smile to flit across t,be countenance of manyan old clerk. Let them find out who gauges merit in the Treasury if they can. The opposition press are now ob jecting to the reduction of estimates io the various departments in which the Appropriation Committee is en gaged. They have clamored until tbey thought they had frighted the Committee out of its propriety, aud that it would so restrict the Govern meat that its business could cot bc- r,. k Tu-silav performed. They are now changing: who assume the firm name of "Kirk tbe cry of "reduction of estimates," wood k Beach." When will people and say it is all bum bug, because .in the ea.se of the P. O. Department a supplemental estimate Las been in- troduced by the third ossistaut P. M. Gen. asking for fight "additional clerks that are required to run Lis Burcau, the cost of which is put at Sll.OiKl.

To attempt to satisfy chronic croakers is itself absurd, unJ while reducing all expenditure not actually required for the neeJs of the service Congress shoii'J carefully avoid going the leiif proposed by them. Another spef'nicn of the inconsist encv of the opposition is the fact that thev l)c always opposed Federal interference in elections, and still con tinue to do so, but their vociferations in favor of forcing a new election upon Louisiana by Congress are now loud and constant. All similar acts by the Administration heretofore car ried out they etill uenouuee as un constitutional tyranny while they favor this, because they think there is some little milk in the cocoa-nut for them the present State Govern ment beiog in quasi administration hands. An investigation cf the cost of transportation connected with the printing of currency and bonds in cities distant from Washington is now being made. The object of it is to ascertain whether the printing Ac., could not be performed for a less cost and otherwise to the advantage of the Government at the capital. Enormous amounts are yearly paid for expressing to and from Washing ton, New York, Philadelphia &c, which might be saved by having the work done here. The fact that the capital is a peculiar city, and is nec essarily debarred from ever becom ing a success as a manufacturing city would seem to call fjr the intro duction here of at least all the bus iness which necessarily belongs to the operations of the Government. The risk of loss and damage in tran situ is at present very considerable and, if it ran be shown that cheap ness is added to convenience and se curity, there is little doubt that steps will lie taken to transfer this work to Washington where it can be done un der the constant surveillance of resi dent Government officials. The statemeut of the public debt of the United States shows a decrease of debt during the past month of nearly two millions. This is the very best evidence that a restoration of confi dence is being brought about among business men and consumers. The total increase of debt since the panic as reduced by last months transac tion is $9,0ol"ft00.S4. fn five months at the same rate of decrease this amount will be over-come, and there can be little doubt that a less time will suffice for a renewal of the usual reduction of the old debt. The sta tistics of the country show that it is even now more, generally and sub stantially prosperous than at any pre vious date. Manufacture and trades are nearly all in full blast, aud though there is no doubt manv are out of employment there never was a year when this was not fo at this season. LIFE. Ol 51 NEW YOKK LETTER. New York Feb. , 1874. SWINDLES. Out of the million of people who make up the population of this Great Uabel, fnlly one hundred thousand live on the labor of others that is to say, are thieves of one sort or another. The worst of these are the advertising thieves, for while they steal, they do it in such an ingenious wav as to escape the pcnaltv of the law. The historv of one or two of them may not be uninteresting. "(. Il.'Murrv t Co.," is a good name. Well . U. M. & Co., adver tise that they possess $1,500,000 of watches, pianoes and jewelry, which they will "distribute" by lot at one do! Far a ticket. You are invited to send twenty-five cents to these be nevolent gentlemen, receiving there for a ticket which describes the prize you are entitled to. You send vour twenty-five cents and you do get a ticket like thlsj "MERCANTILE VUI7.K ASSOCIATION. "Certificate No. 22733. This certificate when accompanied by one dollar, (and fifty cents for package), entitles the bolder to one Silver-Hunting Cased Watch, valued at l.'i.OO. State how you wish it senV" Now send $1 50 and what happens. Nothing. You never hear of it again. Aud these fellows get letters by the bushel, every one of which coutaius money, it is not difficult to suppose that they live in clover. Their office is, in one advertisement, iu one place; in another, another, so that victims in search of them never find them. The police gets after them, but they change their style so frequently that it is impossible to catch them. The fellows who are to-day doing business over the name of G. It. Mur ry & Co., have within a year been kuovp as the United States Tontine Association, of 23 Park Row; as Norton Quiun k Co., 212 Uroadway; as Holliday, Lewis k Co., of 23 Park Row; as Walter B. Turner & Co., of 740 Broadway; as II. H. B:idle k Co., of 50 Broad Street ; as Chester V. Dudley k Co., of 34 New street; as Oswald West & Co., of Broad street ; and S. Soloman k Co., of 131 Nassau street; and as Gilbert.'Put nam k C., of C4 Broadway. But ingenious as the gentlemen are the last two monies has e.evelopeu a more c iuueovs scot xnni- LisM The only expense attending the.- swindus is the advertising, and now to dodge them has been the question with them. Two of these thieved as sumed the name of "Kirkwood A Beach, Advertising Agents," and issued an order to the newspapers of the country, advertlsiug a dojjca or more of bogus articles, under a dozen or more different names, the price of which was always It be nent by mail to the. P. O. lior dcsi'jnutcd. To se duce the publishers of the country these villains boldly referred to A. T. Stewart, C. A." Dana, and Jas. Gordon Bennett, of New York, to M. Ilalstead, of the Cincinnati Conir mcrcial. aud D. R. Locke, of the Toleda Made. As their offer to the papers were liberal, aud their refer ences unexceptionable, hundreds of papers published their advertisements, and immediately cords of letters came to the different parties named, all of which Kirkwood k Beach took out of the Post-Office and appropriated; of cjgrse. As a matter of course, the newspa pers publishing the advertisements will never get a cent; those who send money to the various address es will never get what they send for; in short tho or.!; people who get any thing are the ingenious scoundrels , Iearu wisdom : Yt hen Will people learn that a dollar is a ihillar, aud, when a j man proposes to give tvi o dollars for joue, that be means a swindle and j there ia a swindle under it. May I j impress on t our reader this iiEpor- tantmaxini: , Never send money to do not know, j There is ; iii it a inudw" . i " e i.uvsic;-."'UiegrtaLl citiC3 ' L;.owParl'c"J :uore tDaa " J-t ho I our ! w practitioners, is it a piano, w-tch or diamond distribution f These goods bate a fixed value in the market, and if any one has them there is no earthly use in making a sacrifice to dispose of them. In short, a little common sense is all that is necessary to protect a person from these swindlers. Do, good people, who read these lines, use a little common sense and save your money. A CURIOUS 80CIETY. 1 It Las been discovered that the up percrust criminals in tho tombs Lave organiied a society for mutual de fence. By uppercrusts I mean the big thieves, the burglars, the forgers and murderers. They contribute so much each to a fund for defending each in his turn, and a fixed sum which goes to the family of the one convicted and sentenced. This is co-operation in a new direction. But why not ? Crime is a regular trade with all the rules and regulations that otffer trades have. POLITICAL INCIDENTS. The Democracy of Brooklyn are made of the same material as their brethren in New York. At a prima ry meeting in the Nineteenth Ward, a return was handed in signed by a man uamed Cunningham. A man at the end of the room cried out, "I dou't believe Mr. Cunningham signed that return," whereupon Mr. Cunningham jumped to his feet and declared that he had signed it. 1 he voice from theeud of the room quickly retorted, "Paddy Cunningham didn't sign it. Paddy t unnignam can t write ins name ; I have a document iu my pocket to which his marX- is affixed." At the meeting of the General Committee amusing incidents were related of rooms in which voting was being carried on, being cleared by force, and the ballot-boxes stuffed to suit the muscular majority. At the Nineteenth Ward primary the voting was brought to an abrupt termination by cutting off the gas. Democracy is tho same now that it always was. FASHION IN RELIUUt.N. It is a notieeeablc fact that the churches of New York ire almost bare of women twice each year in the periods between Winter aud Soring, and Autumn and Winter when it's too cold for a summer bun net and not cold enough for a winter head-covering. But religion is now being made lasliionablc. 1'eople arc now invited to prayer-meetings pro cisely as invited to a social soiree or an evening party. A friend tf mine gave me the following transcript of a card which he reset veu : "Mr. and Mrs. proposes (I). V.) to hold a Bible reading on evening at 7 o'clock, wheu the company of friends is requested. Subject Revelations II. Reading from 7i to 9k Morn ing dress." I taw one sent to anoth er friend which, as far as the body of it is concerned, might have applied to a dance or a card party, but in the corner were the characters. "T. and P." After a while he discovered that the cabalistic stood for Tea and Party. He went and reported. After tea Bibles were handed around on a tray nnd religious exercises were held. Curious world this. Ul'SIENSS contiuues to improve. Collections, we aro assured by one of our largest dry goods houses, are very much bet ter this year than they were last. So far, in this month of January, in the houses referred to, the collections are at the rate of seven per cent, bel ter than in January, 1873. This re sult upon old obligations is certainly both favorable and hopeful. The fact is the panic of last fall bad no reality in it. It had no bottom, and should have affected nothing. But men got frightened, and it took just so long a time for them to get over their fright, They arc over it now and business goes on as usual. THE W EAT 11 KU, is as changeable here as a fashionable woman. In the morning zero at noon f0 at night rain, and ice by midnight. You need overcoats, um brellas, linen dusters and fans to be perfectly safe when you go cut. Oh! for an old fashioned winter. PlETRO. HAKBianiRU. IIOl'KE. Harrisburo, February 2, 1874.

Mehr, corner of lleid elbach avenue and Johns street, and in a few minutes the building was enveloped in flames. The inmates of the Louse were Mehr, his wife, six children, his fathcr-m-law. and a bar keeper named George. Of these ouly the father-in-law, Mr. Mehr, and two children escaped from the flames. hen the press reporter reached the ground Mr. Mehr stood ou the walk weeping, and relating that he was awakened by smoke and heard Chris, calling the bar-keeper, who could not be awakened. Mrs. Mehr, he said, had rushed out of the hoiiso with two children whom she dropped and returned to the house, but never came forth again. As soon as possible search was made for the bodies and all ti-e missing were found. Mrs. Mehr when found had the youngest child clasped tightly in her arms, the remains cf both char red, as were the others. Chris. Wiu derlick, a detective of the city, in i he second story cf the building at the time, called to Mehr to come. Mehr answered yes, but not appear ing was called to again without giv ing a response. The full particulars cf the burning of Chris. Mehr's house and cf the attending fatality show that but four persons were burned to death and several others badly burned. The details show the sufferings of the victims to have been horrible. There were when the fire broke out about ten persons iu the house, including Mr. Mehr, his wife and six children. Mrs. Mehr seized two of the chil dren and rushed through the f!amc6, and a boarder seized another cT the children. Mr. Mehr rushed out and seeing that some of the children were missing, again ran into the house and was not again seen alive. When found he had clasped in his arms the three children who had been left behind, the four bodies being burned almost to a crisp. These four are the only persons who were burned to death. Mist of the other persons were more or less burned.
