PORT.
The report of Surveyor General Campbell is
an interesting document. It contains much
valuable information in relation to patented
and unpatented lauds; with all the necessary
forums of application, &c., and the late acts of
Assembly relating to the business of the office.
Few persons are aware of the importance of
-the work transacted in this office, or of the
labor required to keep correctly the accounts
of the State with her dejtors. Since the last
report the work of entering the lists of unpat
ented and patentCd lauds, against which the
State has liens on account of'unpaid purchase
money and fees, into the office dockets pre
pared for these accounts, has been completed.
These records, besides answering the immedi
ate purpose for which they were compiled,
will be found of service and convenience to
the people of the State interested in unpatented
lands as well as in the administration of the
affairs of the office in the future. The report
states that " during six -years, embracing the
period since the passage of the act of time 20th
of May, 1864, 4610 tracts of land have been
patented, and that the sum of $229,140.06 has
been paid into the State treasury through this
Department as against 1218 tracts patented and
'1438,7 1 1 2 . 57 paid in during the six years pre
ceding 1804. Lands have been taken posses
sion of, improved and held without even the
formality of an application, warrant or sur
vey ; consequently there is nothing on record
in the office by which to determine thtm names
of the parties, the number of acres taken or the
locality of such lands. Large quantities of the
best land in the State have been taken up in
this way, and there is no mode of enforcing
payment for it." The report suggests legis
lation upon the subject.
The tabular statement of the population,
etc., of the different counties, shows that Lu
zerne is the largest county in the State, having
1400 square miles and 800,000 acres of land.
Population in 1860, 00,244. Pennsylvania is
situated between 39 deg. 48 min. and 42 deg.
North Latitude, and 2 deg. 17 min. East, and
8 deg. 31 min. West Longitude from Wash
ington. Its mean length is 280.80 miles; mean
breadth 158.05 miles ; its greatest length is
302 13.40 miles, and greatest breadth 175 miles
and 102 perches. Population iu 1860, 2,006,-
215, with 44,317 square miles and 28,362,880
acres. Lehigh county was formed front a part
of Northampton March 6, 1812, and contains
364 square miles and 232,060 acres. Popula
tion in 1860, 43,753. Allentown 15 in latitude
40 deg., 80 min. and 28 sec., and longitude

THE SPOILS OF OFFICE.
The fight over the Treasurership, w•lhich h
been long and bitter, is at length brought to a
close by the caucas nothination of Mr. Mackey,
the present incumbent. There is some talk of
'a " bolt" by the Irwin men, but that would
be folly. This contest win do good. It
shows conclusively that corrupt means must
be used, and that the ollice is made to pay
largely in excess of the legal lees, else there
would not be the scramble fur it that there is
now. Governor Geary in his well written
message hits the mark - when he says,
once more to remind the Legislature that t
salary of the State Treasurer should :lt" la
be equal to that of the Governor. It is on
seventeen hundred dollars, 'a sum entirely II
sufficient to command the services of any re
sponsible man, who is required to furnish a
bond with good and approved security for
eighty thousand dollars, and to run the risk
of handling at least five or six millions of dol.
'has per annum, Without the unlawful use of
the State funds, and subsidies from sources
that dare not be revealed to the public, be
cause they are positively prohibited by law
under penalties of no ordinary magnitude.
Tel, there are few men who have held this
office, however pour they may have been when'
they took charge of it, who have not become
rich. There is certainly some advantage to
be gained by the holding of the position of
Stain Treasurer, unknown to the public, but
which readily accounts for the disgraceful
scramble, and for the political and moral de
bauchery which the people of this State seem
to be doomed annually to witness, in the elec
tion of that officer, and because of the disgrace
It brings upon their representatives, the people
hang their heads in indignation and shame."
As true as Gospel, every word of it. We hope
every honest mail in the Pennsylvania Legis.
lature will Monce use his best efforts to further
the passage of a law to stop thiscrying shame.
Senators 'Wallace and Lowry have already in
troduced bills for that purpose and if some
Legislation is not had this session, the people
should make it a sine qua non in their election
next fall.
Governer Geary has been blamed for, this
exposure and for his remarks upon the neces
sity' of further reform and retrenchment, but
the taxpayers of the State will stand by him
t, l / 4
in his clfotts to crush the ring of thieves who
gather at• Harrisburg. Honest . Legislate s
will not complain and the dishonest should b
sent home. The refusal to print the message
was a low species of retaliation resorted to by
those whose corns were hurt.

SENATOR lIENZEY tins introduced a bill'

general poverty would be the immediate re

Everybody, who has lived long enough has
experienced the stagnation of Free Trade times ,

do not fear that the masses will so far forget

principal statistics of the system, drawn front
the report of the Superintendent of Common
Schools.
There are within the Stale 1971 school Ells
, trios; 13.926 schools; 2443 graded schools;
111.900 school directors ; 76 superintendents ;
17,112 teachers, and 813,753 Pupils. The av
erage etot of tuition for ouch pupil is ninety
' st.yell rout: per month. The whole cost of

' ing the. year, $6,986,1.18.92. Estitnatedsvulue
or school property, $l-1,043,632.
Not ithstanding the fact that our school
law was made general in the. year 1848, it is
remarkable that there still remain live districts
within the State which have not yet con

four of these will soon accept the conditions

For the maintenance of these ((chords (lur
ing the year ending May 31, 1871, it is esti
mated that $934,100 will be requiked. Which
suns I recommend to be appropriated with the
positive understanding that the expenditures
shall not exceed that amount.
The encouragement which has been af
forded to the uniformed militia has been re
sponded to with alacrity, and is exhibited as
follows : In 1866 there were eight volunteer
companies ; in 1867, thirty-eight ; in 1868,
sixty-seven ; and in 1809, ono hundred and
eighty-four. No less than one hundred and
seven companies were organized during the
year ending November 30, 1869, of which
fifty-six are "In Philadelphia and fifty-one in
other parts of the State. '
It is desirable That the Legislature should
give the volunteer companies such practical
aid as would, in some degree, compensate
them for the time and money expended to I
maintain their organizations, in which the
people are as much interested'as the volun
teers themselves.
The Governor recounts the patriotic action
of the Legislature in providing for charitable
institutions, and recommends the establish
ment of a home for disabled soldiers, where
they shall be•amply provided with the neces
sary comforts of life, and no longer be com
pelled to be pensioners upon the scanty chari
ties of the world.
lie recommends that an insurance depart
ment be created, and also the abolishment of
the license law, and the substitution in its
place of a reasonable and equitable tax. It
would meet the approbation of all companies
in favor of equal and exact Justice, whether
belonging to this or any other State. At the
same time it would insure n large income to
1=1:=111
the Treasury. For instance, there are thirty
seven life insurance Companies from other
States doing business in Pefinsylvanin, who
each pay a license of $5OO, making the sum
of $18,500. Not one of these Companies
would Object to paying an equal tax of say
one-half of one per cent. upon the amount of
their business.
The Govern& briefly narrates the history
of the disaster, and recommends that incom
bustible materials alone be used about thii
shafts; that the ventilating fan be now intro
duced, and that every mine shall have more
than a single avenue of ingress and egress.
The best method of . vmstructing, ventilating
and working the mines should be unhesitat
ingly adopted, and the system adopted rigidly
enforced.
He recommends that the law creating the
office of Inspector of Gas and Gas metres for
Allegheny county be extended to other coun
ties in which gas is largely consumed.
Ile recommends an additional Judge for the
Supreme Court, believing it a public neces
sity, in justice to the many suitors, and to
the Judges, who have more work than should
be required of the present number of men, let
them be ever so laborious and efficient.
