We believe the legislature is hav
ing * daily journal of its proceeding#
published, for, if we mistake not, we
have teen one or two number#. There
are three members in that body for
whose election we worked industrious
ly, and by any of them sending tu a
a copy regularly, to which all editor*
are entitled, we can keep a better
chronicle of the doings at Harris burg.
Come, waken up, down there, and let
us hear of all that's doing, and we will
let the people know through the col
umns of the universally reed Rkfor-
TEIt
Bates' History.
We see that an ex-member of the
legislature, Mr. M'Kinstry, from one
of the eastern counties, advertises fifty
copies of Bate'# History at public #ale.
Now this • as clear a violation of law,
aa was the celling of cadctahips by
Whittemore, Covode, and other*, and
we think M'Kinstry, be he democrat
or radical, should be attended to at
•oce. Thi# Batee history was printed
at the expense of the state, and cost
the tax payers over half a million dol
lars, and it was to be distributed gra
tuitously by the members of the senate
aad house, for which purpose each
member received his share of copies.
But the people have received very
few copies of the work, and many who
have it, had to pay for it. We, as
publishers of a paper, were entitled to
a copy, hut no Bates' history did we
get. The order to print this work
was a swindling piece of speculation in
the first place, and the manner in
which members of the legislature have
disposed of it —selling the copies they
received from the state for gratuitous
distribution amoag their constituents,
—is the second and meanest swindle
connected with this treasury plunder
ing job, and every member guilty of
this violation of the law, should be ar
rested and puniahad. If we had any
faith in the integrity of the Pennsyl
vania legislature, we would advise
i -.em to investigate this matter, and
have the guilty ones exposed, but as
too many of them were "unprincipled
enough to engage in such disgraceful
work, any attempt at an investigation
would be etified ; or should a commit
tee even be appointed for the purpose,
it would briog in a white-washing re
port, as is usually ths rase in matters
••fthis kind —it would be like prosecu
ting satan in bis own coort. Thou#,
snds of copies of Bates' history have
Ik-en printed at the public expanse,
vet few are to be found among tbe
jK-ople, members keep them back, to
-wap off at comer groceries and tobec
< Diets for chewing tobacco and Ha
■vans- cigars, with which the costly
iiruaeele carpet# of tbe eenate and
h .uM ar4 soiled and the atmosphere
..! the capitol chamber# is vitiated and
made offensive in addition to the odi
k<n attaching to them from apeculatire
}<>bs and plundering* of the treasury,
■iating back many year*. .See that
nice, slick senator there, with heel#
t ..eked upon his desk, complacently
puffing op white coils of cigar smoke,
from an expensive Havana—the lit
tle cloud which so fantastically hound#
from bis mouth, and which be
watebes until it is dispersed, is a
Bates' history soiny up in smoke. See
(hat fellow with fancy tobacco box,
who struts around the hall of the
house, with cheeks distended by a
quid, aad offering a fellow member a
"chaw," he carries about him au air
that mean* to say, I carry the com
monwealth HI my brains, observe how
he bespatters tbe carpet with a vile,
staining liquid from bis mouth—a
Bates' history has furnished him the
tobaeco, the juice of which be squirts
over the nearly laid carpet with such
perfect tico-chaleoce,
We observe that a member bae off
ered a resolution to print another edi
tion of this work. In the name of
the tax-payers of the state, we pretest
against carrying this Bates' history
swindle auy farther; if members of
the Legislature wish to have an hon
est public sate, lot them go home, sell
off tlietr personal traps, and send tbe
proceeds to tbe state as con science
money.
The bill to repeal the test oath has
tieueie * law without the approval
of the President, Grant's reasons for
withdrawing hit signature, which be
gave in a message to coogrees on
Wednesday, are exceedingly weeb.
He says that while former labels are
exempted by this bill from swearing
loyality to the government, the truly
loyal are required to do so before as
suming office. Are not all persons
required to take an oath to support
the coustitution of the United States
before eateriug on tbe duties of pub
lic office? What more would the
President have? This bill completely
restored to their rights of citizenship a
treat many persons of the south who
are been under the ban of the gov
ernment for nearly six years.
A number of bilk exempting Odd
, Fellows' halls, cemetery companies,
_ parsonages and similar property feoui
- taxation is now pending in the legisla
ture. Tbe policy of passing eucb
bills is exceedingly bed. Legislators
ahruld beer i? nuud t£at (he relief pf
dCW cJafS of property from l§xitioq
fh . i
only increases the burden# upon anoth
er. Many of these cemetery compa
nies are money-miking institutions,
and are neither charitable nor religi- j
,>u>. Thev return their stockholder#
handsome* profits on the investment,
and should be Used with other prop
erty. This practice of exempting
them is an evil which should be aba
. ted.
; It look# very much a* il Gen. Grant
• was trjiog to worrv Mr. Bent Will out
1 of the Cabinet. The pretext for thi#
) is their alleged differences of opinion
• on some financial measures, such, for
example, as the repeal of the income
, ux. Does anybody who can catch a
• single glimpe behind the scenes believe
' that this ia tbe real reason why the
i President want# bis Secretary to thniw
up the seal* of the Treasury? No!
' The imple truth is, Graut suspects
i that Boulwell is hostile to his renomi
- nation ; and more than this, he has got
it into hit head that the latter aspires
\ to be the Republican candidate iu 107 ±
I So Grant now wars on Mr. Boutwell,
■ just as he has long been trying to break
| down Senator Sumner and Gov. Fen
ton, and for precisely the #ame reaeou —
' their belief that he ha* outlived hia
. useful nee* and ought to retire at the
, cloae of hia present term of office.

National Registration.
k Under the high-eounding title of
"A bill to preserve the purity of elec
-1 lions and to guard against abuses of
r ths elective franchise," another step
• was taken in the administra
t lion's programme in the Senate in the
I introduction of a measnre by Mr. Ed
munds which proposes to virtually
' I take the registration of votsrs out of
" the hands of the States and to place it
undsr Federal control. It provides
1 that all register* of elections shall be
appointed by United States marshals.
Tbe bill was referred to the Judiciary
t Committee, bat will undoubtedly be
, reported in time for the actiou of Con

The -Soitheni Outrages."
| The senate select committee on the
alleged southern outrages still hold
lengthy sessions. The great mass of
1 teetimonv is put in by such men at
I! Kirk, iloldea and others, and now
I; the rebutting testimony i# being beard,
and it waa developed in the committee
that the negroes in North Carolina
had a sworn organisation extending
1 over the state for the purpose of
i burning the barns of the whites, and
in some instances stood around and
, I shot at the farmer* as they were en
deavoring to extinguish their barn#
' and outhouses which they had previ
-1 ously set on fire.
i West Point Troubles.
The Weet Point investigation was
, under consideration by the House last
week. There did not seem to be a
I disposition to pass the committee's re
' port for tbe expulsion of the first
' j clam, and a mild substitute will be
i adopted, doubles*. General Butler
made a speech frill of special pleadicg
' for tbe first class, but ths speech of
' General Slocum waa the sensation of
the day. He charged openly and su#
p taincd his charges by reading the evi
, dence that the demoralization in the
, discipline at tbe Military Academy
' was due in the main to President
; Grant, whose conduct in pardoning ca
' j dels, who had been tried and convict
lied by the court-martial. It ap
i peered that on appeals by letter from
j young Cadet Great the guilty cadets
! would be at once pardoned. This be
came so well known at Weet Point
II that the officer*, under the circure
j stances, were unable to preserve
j tbe proper discipline of the trade

What the Radical Party Prom Is
<hl and What It Performed.
Wobinelon, February 15. —In it***
Senate to-day the joint resolution of
the Indiana legislature withdrawing
that State's alleged ratification of the
fifteenth amendment wn taken up for
the purpose of allowing Mr. Morton
(Rad., Ind.) to addrt # the Senate upon
the question therein presented. the
latter patt of the morning hour being
awarded hint for that purpoae, Mr.
Morion then argued to show the right
and poWWrofOongr**# to require go a ran
tecs from the late reltel Sutca as con
dition* precedent to repreaentat ion in
the government ; that th-M eoudition#
had taken the form of constitutional
amendments, and hax ing been <vera!
ly accepted by those States it ** ah
turd for other States now to queetia
the validity of those atneudmenta. lie
he'd that the Democratic party. by i#
attempted repudiation of tnoee amend*
menu and law# of Cong res* enforcing
them, wa# committed to nullification
and mbvereion ofexisting laws, lefut
ing the aaauinptiona ujaui which he
aid the Democratic opposition to the
amendment wa# grounded—that the
ratification by the late rehtd States was
by coercion and dure-*. and that their
right to representation wa# absolute,
and unaffected by participation in the
rebellion. He held that the existence
of the right to impose condition# liti*
plied the power to exact compliance
with them. The ratification wa# not
compulsory, for it was left optioral
with those States either to le restored
to their former p'aees in the govern
ment or remaiu in the condition in
which they had voluntary placed
themselves. Inducements for the per
formance of duty were as necessary in
casta of Sutes as of individuals. The
argument that the assent of the reliel
Stales was coerced implies) that those
States lost no rights by going into re
hellion, which Mr. Morton denied. In,
answer to the allegation that the ratifi
cation of the fifteenth amendment by
the Indiana Senate was illegal because
of the absence of a constitutional 1 no
ruin at the time, he aid the question
had been decided by the Indiana Su
preme Court upou au appropriation
bill passed the same day, the court hol.l
ing that it had no power to go behind
the enrolment of the bill. . In that con
troversy the Democrats held that a
quorum required two-third# of all the
members elected, whilethe Republican#
maintained that two-thirds of those
present was meant. The fifteenth
amendmout received '2B vote# in the
Senate and 56 in the House, which was
a clear majority of all the member#
elected. These resolution# purporting
to rescind the assent of the Stale were
a mere harmless nullity and were de
serving of no consideration except for
their political significance in indicat
ing the spirit of the Democracy They
breathed the doctrines of nullification
and secession and did not represent (he
sentiment of the people of Indiana,
which was Republican. It was well
for the country to know the issue made
by the Democratic party, which did
not mean to accept any of the results
of the war, or to recognise the recon
struction acta on the fourteenth or fif
teenth amendments, but would, if they
had the power, nullify them all. A#
corroborative of his charge that tho
programme of the Democratic parly
was tff overthrow and subvert the laws
of the land, be cited as significant the
fact that the Democretic members of
the House of Representatives, at the
last sessiou, voted solidly again#t the
resolution assorting the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments. Other illustra
tions were to be found >8 ihe nullifica
tion by Kentucky of an important pro
vision of the fourteenth amendment,
and also of the civil rights bill, in re
fusiug to colored men the right to tes
tify in her courts in cases in which a
white person is a party ; in a recent de
cision of the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia, practically athrmiug the Siaw-s
rights dogma, and in a message of the
Governor of that State denying the
validity of the constitutional amend
ment.
Mr. C'asselv (Deiu., (!*!.> *ui<l that
the message referred to wa# urilten l*c
fore the ratification became ail accom
plished fact.
Mr. Morton thought the fact # to
lime immaterial, a# the message denied
the power of Congress to propose an
amendment uf that kind, and dented
the possibility of it* becoming a part
of the Constitution of the United States,
though ratified by ever so many State#.
The California Lcgidaturv had nlso
declared the fifteenth amendment u#
a nullity, and not binding ujion the
people of that State. Mr. Morton
proceeded to comment upon the gravi
ty of the issue thus presented, a# involv
ing tbe very safetv of tbe Union.
Mr. Blair said he thought the Sena
tor from Indiana (Mortou) had fitly
represented the administration iu the
bold, outspoken, eootemptuou* manner
in which he had spoken of representa
tive government. Last summer it was
rumored that the Senator had been
appointed to u high mission, and that
after accepting the office be had chang
ed hi# mind about it in consequence of
ihe Democratic majority at the elec
tion in his Stale, avowedly to prevent
jl Democrat coming here in his place
to represent his .State.
Mr. Morton (interrupting)—To mis
represent her.
ifr. Blair —(repeating with em
phasis i —"One who would represent
her." The State of lodiaoa having
elected a Democratic Legislature
would have the light to represent by a
Democrat whenever a vacanej occur
red in her senatorial representation.
Had the gentleman ( Morton) gone
abroad, be vrould have learned there
that when popular senUmeoi eondem
ned any man or measure, the ministry
at once laid down their arms; but in
his (Morton's) case that seemed to be
made the Tcrv reason for holding on
to office. Following that Senator's
example, he (Blair) proposed to state
some masters connected with the his
tory of thp ratification of the ntleenih
amendment. He then ariaigned the
Republican party for infidelity to its
prefesaionß before the people in regard
to the principle of the fifteenth amend
ment. After carrying a Presidential
election upon the representation hole)
out by tho * hicago platform, that ne
gro suffrage was entirely a matter with
in the control of the States, that party,
at the ensuing session of Congress, had
forced the principles upon the country
in the fifteenth amendment. A piop..i
tion to submit the question to the
State Legislatures thereafter t l><
elected was voted down. The S n i!>ii>
and Representatives fiom the Sntr* of
Missouri, Kanpii4i, Mi<-ht>r:->i N w Vok,
and Ohio voted for that apiepfjnn
although the people of those States had,
by immense majorities; ranging from
30,000 to 50,0(H), rejected ptyro >nf
frage at the election Just preceding.
The Legislatures throughout the coun
try, elected prior to the Hibrniasiun of i
the amendment, ratified it without iv
gard to the prolyl* of their cunsthu
ent.

Mr. Itlnir thought that did not touch
the .mention with which he xxns deal
ing. The .I. feat of the proposition
previously by the ih-ei*ive majority of
.'II,<HHi should have been uttioiciit to
guide the course of any rcnreernlitlivc
of the State in (Tongreoa who xvaa dia

-iit, yet the Kenatore ami Ueprcoenla
live* of Michigan, ami the Legislature
of that State equally, regardleat of the
xvialit-* of her jieople, voted to ratify
the amendment. In the Stale of Mia
aouri, notwithstanding thatai* month*
before the people condemned the prin
ciple hv iiO.iKki majority, the legisla
ture actually adopted one half the
amenduient upon a telegram. He did
not know of one State oulaide ot New
Lngland and the late rebel State* in
*hich t had not been rejected by the
people. Nevertheless it had been de
tiantlv hurried through. A yoke had
been fined upon the necks of the peo
ple, and they were galled. The govern
ment had a right to look into and de
termine an allegation of fraud in the
ratiHcatieu of a Conalilutiottal amend
ment. If amendment* could he adop
ted as the Fifteenth had been, against
the w idt of the great ntaw of the |>eo
pie, we might soon have one to make
the government monarchical and tlx
President of the Senate an otfieer fur
life. This might easily be accomplwil
ed through the instrumentality of the
Citrpet-bag States. I'pon the argument
now made u>e of, we would have no
right to protest against tuch a proceed,
iog imr to attempt to e*|Me the JM r
ti.ly by which the people had been le
travel, for we would lie called revolu
tionist* if we did. The argument of
the Senator from Wisonsin (Mr.
Carpeuterj. the other dav, UJHIII the
unconstitutionality of the teat-oath,
was a vindication of the Democratic
position on that question, hut it wa
uol a new one to the people of Mis

Mr. CariHtiter • Hail., Mich.) lure
interrupted toatfiein that ht argument
did uot go to the full extent of declar
ing the test oath unconstitutional.
He had no doubt of it* unconstilution
alitv, but he did not see the relevancy
of that question to the preceiit subject
Mr. Hiair thought it directly rele
vant. Resuming his argument an I
replying to what Mr Morton had said
about punishing the South fr her
treason, he reminded that Senator that
the Congress of the I'niled States had
no right to go outside the t onstitutioii
to Hnd puuishments for relwl* or any
one else.
Mr. Morton • Had., lud ) m-k*d
