Stealing to go on.
The Republican caucus of members of
the Legislature, at Harrisburg, saddled it
self with a burden of infamy that it will
find difficult even to stagger under. The
pasting aud folding of Legislative docu j
meats in the capitol hist winter cost fifty |
thousand dollars. That this was a giganfic i
swindle every one knows. A responsible
firm ofiered to do the work the present ses
sion for £7,000 —proposing to give a bond
in any reasonable sum for the prompt and j
faithful execution of the work ; but this j
proposition was rejected by the Republican |
caucas, and a chief of the folding depart- |
incut elected in the old way. The work j
will probably run up to £OO,OOO this year,
and yet it could all have been done for £7,-
000. Clear steal, £5:1,000
We think this the most disreputable
swindle of which we have any recent ac
count. The chief of the folding depart- :
ment is always a head man in the lobby, '
and he appoints as his assistants a score or i
two of legislative bummers from all parts j
of the State. These people employ boys, \
at a mere pittance to do the "pasting and j
folding," and devote their energies to aid-!
ing disreputable schemes of legislation.— ;
The difference between what they pay the j
boys who do the work and the amount
they receive for signing vouchers for tluir
chief, constitutes the winters perquisites,—
Iu fact this pasting and folding swindle en
ables the lobby to draw a very large salary
directly from the State Treasury. Think
of the State paying man* to corrupt its leg- i
islators ! Yet fifty thousand dollars goes I
in this way.
Another outrage is the writing to4Qu*h i
member of the Legislature a copy of l'tir- I
don's Digest; 140 copies at ten dollars each
—total, £1.400. Rut this is only petty lar
ceny- It is quietly reported that the same
copies of the Digest have done service un
der this resolution a score of times.—b f

Dn.uiSrK:—l learn tliut at the meeting j
held at Clearfield, on the evening of the
12th instant, to provide for the selection of
delegates to the Democratic State Conven
tion, a preference was expressed by those
present for myself as the Democratic can
didate for Governor, in the coming election.
At the time that meeting was held I was
confined to my room by illness, or I would
have been present and declined the honor
that my fellow citizens thus seek to confer.
I write you now, to say that I am not a
candidate. Whilst lam gratified by this
mark of confidence, T am convinced that
my nomination is not the 1 .est that can he
made. I reconize the vital importance of
the selection of the strongest candidate
that can be found, to make this contest.
I am one of those who believe that every
thing but principle should lie subordinate
to success, and that preference for individ
uals and the desire to reward party services
should be maths to yield to the imperious
necessity to win. It seems to be the uni
versal desire of the press of the State that
the convention shall be held at a late clay,
and if the best men of the party be selected
as delegates, and authorized to carry out
the will of the party as shown by the light
that shall then surround them, the selec- !
tion of the strongest candidate will follow
and success will lie assured.
I desire through you to express to my i
constituents who have invariably given me
a cordial support, my earnest thanks for J
this renewed mark of their confidence.

THE WORKING MEN AND THE TAXES. — j
Once in a while there appears in Mrs. Su
san B. Anthony's paper, The Revolution, a
Stinging paragraph in reference to the pol
icy of the Radicals. This is one of her la
test and liest :
"The laboring masses have privileges two
left. They can get up "at Five-Twenty in
tli morning, and work till Ten-Forty at
night, to earn money to pay Seven-Thirty
interest to the Bondholder. The Bondhol
ders get up at Ten-Fony, take dinner and
wine at Seven-Thirty, enjoy themselves un
til Ten-Forty at night, when they retire
chuckling over the fact that they have no
road or State taxes to pay ; and they offtA
thanks to the Radical thieves in Congress
for the privileges they enjoy over the la
boring millions. Can't you see it V "
A Fair Promise.
Hon. John Scott, the newly elected U. S.
Senator from this State, was serenaded at
his home in Huntingdon, upon his return
from Washington.-—To his numerous
friends who had assembled to greet him, he
said.
"The congratulations that most touched
his heart were those from his neighbors
and friends. After recurring to the begin
ning of the dissensions that ended in relxd
lion. and recounting some of the sacrifices
of Pennsylvania and her citizens in the
cause of the Union, ho said he would in the
i public station to which he had lieen called
! pursue the right, as God gave him to see
j the right, the rule wjiich he had endeavored
o observe in his private life."

The Registry Law.
The Harrislmrg Patriot says the new
Registry bill introduced iu the State Senate
by Mr. Taylor is a rare curiosity. The
more it is examined the ingenuity and
beauty of its eontrivauces'becoine the more
manifest. It is as full of shelves and traps
to deceive the honest citizen as u conjurer's
; box. On its face it is a general act, but it
! is so framed that it may be made to apply
jto any county, or to any district inacounty.
It is general and absolute for Philadelphia,
and special and for the rest of
the State: It shows what radicals can do
to evade the Constitution and oppress the
yitizen. The first section provides that it
shall be applied to any county on the rec-
I ommendation of one hundred citizens, and
to any election district on petition of the
grand jury, or the petition of twenty-five
citizens Those counties and districts
which do not apply through the grand jury
or through a handful of citizens, are to lie
| deprived of the benefits and blessings of
j the registry law which the radicals propose
j to bestow on Philadelphia.
The object of this cunning contrivance,
so worthy of the radical mind, is very
plain. They have made the bill as irk
j some, as odious and oppressive' as their ty
i ranuical natures.-..aid devise. They intend
I to apply it inexliorably in Philadelphia, and
I in some of the larger democratic counties,
j But in other counties where they fear its
effect would be damaging to the party, they
propose that it shall not be applied, im
agining that it will lie so utterly detested i
by every democrat, and every liberal man
who is not a democrat, that no one will jie
• tition for ii. They propose to get upradi
, eid petitions for the introduction of their
i law when they wish to annoy and oppress,
I and take it for granted that no democrats
i will ask for its application. In this city
J they will find themselves grieveously mis
! taken. It is not difficult to find one hun
dred men in every county of the Common
| wealth to petition for the application of the
very worst law that wai ever put cn th*
| statute book. If it shall pass, the Demo
crats who are friends of general legislation,
and ore opposed to special privileges, will
labor to make it universal throughout the
State. If the radicals apply it in Luzerne
! or Northampton, it shall be inexorably ap
' {filed (if indeed it be capable of upplica
| tion) to Bradford and Lebanon. This act
; will compel the attendance of the citizen at
1 the place of election two days in each vcar.
j It is contrived by aristocrats to make the
exercise of the suffrage expensive and irk
some to the poor, who belong in the main
(or should, if they don't,) to the democrat
ic party. They expect that it can be made
to work in heavy democratic counties witli
• out exciting the hostility of their own par
i tisaus. It shall be made equally irksome
in radical counties. If the radicals seek
through this bill to annoy the plain far- |
mors of Pennsylvania in the bright days
of the Fall, by compelling them to leave
their plow or their buckwheat, and look up
a registration officer, they shall feel the
effects of it. Let them try on this experi
ment, aud it will lie their last. The demo-1
crats will all register. Indignation at this
outrage will bring out the fct.- t man. The
radical masses w ill register aud then—vote
the democratic ticket. If we sought a par
tisan triumph, we should org - them for
ward to this gross violation of the Consti
tution and the rights of the citizen.

daf' As OUTRAGE FRUSTRATED. —The Rad
ical majority in our .State Legislature at- j
tempted a piece of most disgraceful legisla
tion 1 ist week, but were foiled by the de
termined action of the Democratic Senators.
A bill was run through the House in hot
haste proposing to keep Mr. John Molloy,
' Democrat, out of the .Office of Receiver of
Taxes, in Philadelphia, and keep iu the
Radical, Peltz, until the contested election
case, now in Court, is settled, notwithstand
ing Mr. Molloy held the certificate of elec
tion, signed by all the Return Judges. The
bill reached the Senate on Thursday last,
where it was determined to rush itihrough,
! under the previous question, as it had been
! crowded through the House. Rut three
1 republican Senators unwilling to be a party
j to so gross an outrage, refused to vote with
I the majority in this attempt to cut off all
■ debate. Time was precious, as Monday
I was the day on which Mr. Melloy would be
! sworn in, unless this bill was passed, so
' they adjourned to Friday. But, when Fri
day came several republican Senators were
absent and the Democratic Senators all
quickly left their seats, the Senate was left
I without a quorum and had to adjourn.
Here was a dilemma—absentees were imme
diately telegraphed for, to be on hand on
Saturday, but Stitsou, of Mofitgomery,
and Stutzman, of Somerset, did not come,
so when Saturday came but 10 Bads were
in their seats—less than a quorum—and the
infamy was defeated. The time set having
arrived Mr. Melloy was duly sworn into of
fice, and entered upon the duties of his of
fice on Monday. It has transpired tliat the
accounts of Peltz are in disorder, and this
is said to be the principal reason why so
strenuous au effort was made to continue
him iu office. The Radicals dreaded the
effect of exposure. By this action the Rad
ical members of the Legislature, who tried
to force this bill through, have earned the
contempt of all honest men.— East on Sen.
RAILROAD MATTERS. —The new directors
of the Morris and Essex Railroad, made a
trip over the road, last week, to examine
thi> bridges and line generally. Among
contemplated improvements, it is stated, is
the putting down without delay of a third
rail of narrow gauge, between Scran tou
aud New Hampton, a distance of 83 miles,
so that narrow gauge ears may run over the
whole length of their works, from Nor
thumberland to Roboken, 227 miles. The
laying of a third rail six miles east of the
Morris and Essex junction at Washington
to the Central New Jersey junction at New
i Hampton, will also establish a narrow
j gauge communication, via. Scranton, from
J Northuinl K TIUIKI to and with the Central
J Railroad to Jersey City, as well as with the
Mollis and Essex to Hoboken. —A,V.
War Upon Pennsylvania.
The infamons design of the Radicals on
the rights of the States is exemplified by
Boutwell's bill to give negroes the right to
vote for all Federal officers. The thing
scarcely comes within the range of sane ar
gument. We doubt if there is a man in
the United States who believes that Con
gress has the constitutional right to regu
late suffrage in Pennsylvania. Indeed,
apart from old and universal usage, and the
uniform construction of the Constitution,
we have the following recent and formal
admissions by the Radicals themselves:
Ist. The amendment known as the four
teenth, said by Radicals to be now a part
of the Constitution of the United States :
which we, however, deny, because In-fore
the requisite number of ratifying States
was obtained, two of them detracted their
assent to it. But the Radicals say that
was of no avail; that three-fourths of the
States have ratified the ameudment, and
that it is part of the Constitution. Perhaps
that is the reason why the Radicals now
ft •! a contempt for it. While it was a party
measure, there was no limit to their zeal
for it. What does it say about suffrage ?
It says :
.Vhen the right to vote at auy election
for the choice of electors for President of
the United States, representatives in Con
gress, the executive and judicial officers of
a State, or the members of the Legislature
thereof, is denied to any of the male iu hab
itants of such State, being twenty-one of
age, and citizens of the United States, or
in any way abridged, except for participa
tion in rebellion, or other crime, the basis
of representation therein shall lie reduced
in the proportion which the number of
such male citizens sliall bear to the whole
number of male citizens twenty-one years
of age, in such State.
Now, here is an express recognition of
the right of the State to say who shall vote
for Federal officers, subject to the diminu
tion of its representation in the Federal
Congresa, if it deny the vote to adult male
negroes. Not only is this now a part of
the Constitution of the United States, ac
centing to the Radicals, but an instrument,
far more sacred in their eyes, admits the
right of Pennsylvania and other States of
the North to settle the suffrage question for
themselves.
The Chicago platform of May, 1868, de
<-hired expressly :
The guaranty by Congress of equal suf
frage to all loyal men at the South was de
manded by every consideration of public
safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and
must be maintained ; while the question of
suffrage in all the loyal States properly be
longs to the people of those States.
This was the platform of the Radical
party, on which they went before the peo
ple. This clause, unlike the one about the
public debt, is plain and unequivocal.—
Pshaw! cries some Radical, franker than
the rest, we only said that to tide over the
election. Perliapsso; but even now the
Radicals propose an ap{>enl to the people,
to grant to Congress the power to regulate
this very matter of suffrage.. But the beau
ty of the thing is, that they also propose
instantly to regulate it to suit themselves,
without wairing for the people to give them
power to do so. That is theobject of Bout
well's bill, now before Congress. We say
we do not believe that there is a single
(sane) Radical, who honestly lielieves that
Congress has constitutional authority to
pass Boutwcll's bill. It is meant and in
tended as another impudent, barefaced vio
lation of the Constitution, to be carried in
to effect by fraud and violence. For, while
110 court of justice would hold such a law
to be valid or constitutional, it would do
for a pretext for Radical election officers.—
It would serve their purposes as well as
John M. Read's spurious decision. They
would accept the vote of arfy fellow with a
black-face, and swear they did it from re
spect for an act of Congress. Bedford
street would decide our elections for us in
the city, and about election time the State
would bo invaded by a horde "of negroes
from Maryland and Virginia. Before this
condition of things could be remedied, the
Radicals hope a constitutional amendment
would come to their aid and validate their
work.
As a barefaced, confessed, and undenia
ble invasion of the rights of the free States
of the North, this bill of Boutwell's takes the
lead and caps the climax. When this
scheme was up in the House, hist year, on
Thaddeus Stevens' motion, only one of the
Radicals from Pennsylvania opposed it,
George V. Lawrence of the Twenty-fourth
Distiict. Then it was killed by the Radi
cals from Ohio, who made common cause
with the Democrats against it. It is be
cause our State is in danger from traitors
who misrepresent her in Congress, that we
call on the people to look closely at this
matter.— Age.
How TO MAKE A WIFE UXHAPPV.—See
her as seldom as possible. If she is warm
hearted and cheerful, or if after a day's or
a week's abscence, she meets you with a
smiling face, and in an affectionate man
ner, be sure to look coldly on her, and an
swer her in monosyllables. If she repels
her tears, and is resolved to look cheerful,
sit down and gape in her presence until
she is fully convinced of your indifference,
Never think for a moment that you have
anything to do to make her happy, but
that her happiness consists in gratifying
your caprices, and when she has done all
a woman can do, be sure you do not ap
pear satisfied. Never take all interest in
any of her pursuits, and if she asks your
advice, make her feel that she is trouble
some and impertinent. If she attempts to
rally vou good humoredly on any of your
peculiarities, never join in the laugh, but
frown her into silence. If she has faults—
which undoubtedly she has, and is igno
rant of—never attempt to correct them,
but be certain to continually obtrude upon
her ears, "What a good wife somebody
else has, ahd how happy a man must be
with such a wife." In company, never
seem to know that yon have a wife—treat
all her remarks with indifference, and !•
very affable and complacent to every lady
present except your wife. If you strictly
follow the above directions, you may lie
certain of an obedient brokpn-hearted wife,
