In the state Senate, on 2nd inst, a
bill was reported from committee reg
ulating marriages, and for the protec
tion or clergymen and juaticce of the
Mice performing the ceremony. The
bill makes it the duty of any person
empowered by law to join others in
marriage to first require of those pre
sooting themselves for marriage a li
cense issued by the clerk of the orph
ans' court of the countv where the
marriage ceremony is to he performed,
undar the hand and official seal of said
clerk, and within thirty days after the
ceremony the person or persons per
forming the ceremony shad return the
license to the clerk, with an endorse-,
ment giving the date of marriage, the
nam* of the person performing the
ceremony, and the names of some of
the witnesses present. The clerk of
the orphans' court thus applied to by
any person legally entitled to a mar
riage license, or by the parents and
guardians of those not legally entitled
thereto, shall issue a license in sub
stance as follows: Marriage liceuse,
same of place, where license is issued,
month and date, to any person author
ised by law to the marriage
ceremony, greeting: You are hereby
authorised to join in marriage A. 8.,
of aged and C. D., of — aged
and of this license you will make due
return to mv office within thirty days.
E. F., Clerk.
The c!erk shall keep a correct copv
of all marriage liceuse# by bim issued,
in a book, together with a copy of the
return endorsed on such license by the
person performing the ceremony, and
shall receive $1 for the same.
If any clerk shall refuse or neglect
to issue a license to any pereou legally
nntitled to the same, or shall neglect
to record a copy of the license ou the
same, or shall neglect to record a copy
of the license on the return, within
thirty days aAer such return, or any
person refusing or neglecting to return
„ the license with the return endorsed
within the time specified, lhall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and on
conviction shall be fined not exceed
ing SI,OOO and cost. If the clerk
shall be in doubt as to the right of
persons applying fur license to assume
the marriage relation, he shall admin
ister oaths and examine witnesses who
thall be liable to prosecution for pro
bate for false r.wearirg. Should any
perjury judge fail to examine wituesses
ue shall nevertheless be liable to a fine
for granting licenses illegally in not j
exceeding SI,OOO and costs. The pre
sentation of a license duly issued to
any person authorised to perform the
:oaniage ceremony shall be sufficient

forbidden by law.
Civil Service Reform.
A joint resolution says the N. Y.
Sun, has been reported m tbe Senate
respecting tbe manner of making ap
peiatments to office in tbecivil service.
It authorises the President to prescribe
such rules and regulations for tbe sd
miaaiou of persons to the civil service
of the United States as in his judge
mant will best promots the efficiency
thereof, and ascertain the fitness of each
candidate in respect to age, health,
character, knowledge, and ability. The
President is also authorized to employ
suitable persons to conduct inquiries
upon these subjects, and to establish
regulations for the conduct of those
who may receive appointments. He is
likewise empowered to prescribe fees to
be peiid by all persons applying for ap
pointaeast, except such classes of hono
rably discharged soldiers as he may
exempt These fees are to be applied
to pay the expenses of makiog such in
quiries.
This joint resolution is Tery good,
and we trust that it will be passed by
both Houses, and become one of the
laws of the land. We hops also that
in devising the proposed rules and
regulations, the President will pay due
attention te two or three principles
whieh are of primary importance, but
which, unless hie attention should be
enrneetlv called to the subject, might
by accident be overlooked and omitted.
These drinciplej are briefly as fol>
Iowa:
I. All relations of the President, or
of any member of bis family, or of his
wife's family, should be considered as
fit,aualified, and sui table forany branch
of the public service, and should be re
garded as perfectly entitled to any
place or places which they tuny prefer
or desire, in preference to all other per
sons. No examination whatever should
be required from any relation of the
President, or from my relation of auy
of his relations. In order to avoid ac
cidents, however, all applicants for cf
fice who expect lo be appointed by
reaaon of their relationship to the
President, or to any member of his or
hit wife's family, should be required to
Ale documentary evidence that they
are in reality related to him or them
either by birth or marriage or spiritual
affinity. Relations should be prefer- j
red in proportion to the nearness of
their relationship.
11. Persons who give presents to the
President should be entitled to appoint
ments without examiuation, or any
other evidence that they are qualified
beyond proof of the fact that they have
S'ven presents. So far as possible
• offices conferred should be propor
tioned to the magnitude and value of
the presents given. This elass of ap
plicants should always have the p tefer
ence next after the relations of the
President or of his or of his wife's re-
Into ins.
111. AJ evidence ofknowledge, abili
ty, and character, testimony may be
submitted that the applicaut has suc
ceeded in making money out of any
confidential position be nity have pre
viously held'. as, for instance, if he'has
been a railway director, by betraying
the interests of the stockholders, or it
he has been employed asa legal advi- ,
ser, by sailing his clients to the oppo- <
Proofs of talent and sue- i
direction should be ngsr- i
tied a* of tht firat conaequenea, and a*
commending tha candidate to the moat
valuable and confidential office*.
IV. No person not a relation of the
l'rreideut, or who haa not given iliira
present*, should be appointed to any
office unless he belongs to the Temper*
ance Society.
By observing the fundamental prin
ciples and givin them due prominence
and weight in the rulee and regula*
tions to be prescribed, there can be no
doubt that the Preaident will soon bs
able to bring about a thorough reform
in the civil eerviee, and to alevate it to
a wholeome and satisfactory condi
tion.

Another Landgrab Whopper.
On 3rd inst the south Pacific rail
road bill |ssed finally at Wnahitig
ton, by which fiAeen million (15,000,-
000) acres of the public lauds are giv
eu away. The voice of the people
has thundered in the ears of eoagreea
againat these out ragout land stealiuge
j aud yet the public servants heed not the
' voice their of masters. What a apeci
i men of radical honesty ! whether Pres
I ident Grant, who vetoea a bill allow
i ing a private f 150 for a bona loat in
the service, will as faithAilly watch
tha people's interests when this land
stealing elephant maksa his appear
ance at his desk? Wa say no, ha
i will sign away the 15,000,000 acres, as
he did in all similar bills heretofore
; passed.
The Apportionment Bill.
Below we aire a ropy of the new sppor
tionment bill, si reported ftvrn tbe **neie
committee, by the chairmen, Mr. Devie.
The bill, we judge, is as nesr a fkir one, as
it is peesibte to be. It is a difilcult matter
to frame a bill of thi* kind that will please
all. At all events, it is a greet impreve
ment upon the present radical apportion
ment, and secures separate representation
so far a* possible, and there era no double
senatorial districts, with a sola \ isw to dis
franchise thousand* ef voters for partisan
purposes
Centre county will be feund.in the tfind
senatorial district, composed of Snyder,
Juniata, Mifflin. Centre and Perry, with
one senator. We would much have pre
ferred to be in other company than those
Juniata river counties. There is too much
grasping selfishness there, its politiciaasgo
too much upon the rule or ruin pirnciple,
without any just claim to ona third of what
they generally get. Our new district, of
course, is democratic, but the democracy
ef Centre de not feel it heme in company
with these Juniata politicians, and besides
our interests are not identical.
Centre and Clearfild compose a legisla
tive district with two members for thelow
er house, the same as some twenty year*
ago. Centre having a greater population
than is required for one member and not
enough for two, and Clearfield not having
the requisite population to entitle it to
separate representation, is the reason for
composing the district thus, with two mem
bers.
This hill may undergo seme changes he
fore its passage in the senate, and as the
bouse is radical, it will report a different
bill, so that it need not be leoked for that
either the tanale or house hill will become
a law, and the disagreement between the
the two houses must he healed by a con
ference committee, if any apportionment
hill is passed. The following is the senate

Judge Woodward of this Slate de- n
livered an able speech last week on *
the havenet law. from which w* tuuke 0
i the following extract:
The prophetic soul of the Provident •
already discerns the living reeem ?
blance of our nascent empire to thet '
which King William and Bismarck 1
are building up te hives the Germans, I
aad very soon, if the people continue '
power in the hands that wield it now, |
the resemblance of the two empires
aill become so palpable that common
aud uninspired men will not only ee '
but will foel what the President hails '
in the future, the b eesinga of a mili
tary despotism. All our legislation '
points this way. The bill now before j
us is one of the steps in this downaard
road. It would be more manly and
tair if it bore iu real purpose upon its
frontlets. Why not call it a bill to
destroy the State right of regulating
suffrage ! Or, a bill to prevent white
mvn from voting ? Or, a bill to con
tinue the Republican party in power!
Why christen it with the grim ear
casni of a "bill to cuforce the right of
voting ?" It 1 not my purpose to an
alyse the details ot the bill. That
has beeu sufficiently done by thoee who
have gone before. The effect of it
wilt be to take the control of the elec
tions out of the hauds of State officers,
acting under Stale law. and deliver it
over to irreeponeible Federal supervi
sion, who are armed with the power of
the possv coiwilo/ws, of the army and
navy ;af arreets without warrant; of
challenging voters, inspecting ballots
and supervising returns; and they will
be very awkward agents of the
ruling power if, with ail these appli
ances. they counot produce any result
that may be required. True it is,
that all this machinery is limited to
elections, for Federal officers; but as
moat Statas elect their officers at the
earns time aad place at which ( on
greaamaa are elected, the practical
working of tha machinery will give to
Federal officer* the same control over
elections for State officers that they
will have in the choice of presidential
electors aud Congressmen. And if
the States, to escape this intolerable
tvranny, should fix Slate electioua on
. other days, and aAer the fashion ot
, former times, should choose their offi
cera unawed by Federal bayonets,
i what would it avail in the presence of
tbe high and unconstitutional power*,
i which Congress has already arrogated
r to itself? What State right has not
been already denied and shamelessly
trampled upon? What cares the
' tha mad spirit of fanaticism for State
rights, State protests, or State legisla
■ tion? With the Supreme Court
' packed aud gagged, with four hun
-1 dred millions of tribute money aiiuu
-1 ally wrung from the people, with an
1 array to collect revenues and control
1 election*, with a navey to absorb twen
' ty millions of money annually for do
ing nothing but to make itself a laugh
ing stock of the world ; with corpora
tions enriched with a public domain ;
' with legislative power stretehed to ev
ery object which ambltien or avarice
1 can covet, what does a ruthless party,
1 so clothed and entrenched, care lor the
' checks and balances of the Constitu
tion and the reserved rights of the
State ? What will they care in the
| future! Laterally nothing now. and
nothing then. If. therefore. State
elections eball survive the shock of
this legislation, they wilt survive to no
purpose. There is but one remedy |
for tbe evils that are upon us, and the
greater and more appalling evils that
threaten us in tbe near future, aud
that ia to cast out the meu who have
abused power, and bring back tbe ad-1
ministration of the government to its
true constitutional oasis, suu xeep it
there.
Good Sense n Santo Domiaso.
The Nation, an ultra radieal paper
printed in New York, a paper edited
with great ability, has the following
upon San Domingo which we think is
worth a reprint:
It is curious and interesting to tee
how the San Domingo affair tends to a
decision an a collateral issue. The
main question is and always has been
whether the annexation would or
would not prove advantageous to the
United States. On this point there is
hardly any difficulty in putting the
authors of the scheme to open confu
sion. But Mr. Sumner raised a fearful
hullabaloo in the Senate about the
frightful wrong, fraud, outrage, and
cruelty the annexation would prove to
the black man, and on this ground they
are delighted to close with him and all
other opponents. The interest of
Americans in the matter has been
quietly pushed aside as something
subordinate, and the question which is
now being debated with must interest
is whether the Dominicans would like
to be annexed. It is to this the com
missionary have been first directing
their inquiries, and they have, ofcourse,
not the least difficulty in finding
thousands of Dominicans who declare
that there is nothing thy would like
better: and the New York Tribuue
swears before high heaven that if they
don't want to be annexed, she shao t
be annexed. Mr. Wade save the same
thicg, and so do all the correspondents
so that tha public is beiug gradual!,
worked into the belief that this is the
only point on which its mind is to be
satisfied, and that if tbe Domiocans
say they would as lief be American
citixena as net, there is nothing for it
but to nalurmixe them.
The point to which tbe attention of
aoet intelligent men, however, willsti 1
eontipg* lope dipected ; is the probable
effect on Aerioea politic* or tbe ad
mission of such a Btate aa Dominica
must prove. On this point tbe cor

(irant and Bribery.
The must disouerable and culpable
act yet committed by President Grant
was reported in our columns by our
correspondent at Cincinnati yesterday.
Capt. 11. G. Stonu was an Assessor
of Internal Revenue in that city, lie
was appointed by Audrew Johnson,
and after several other nominees to the
office had been rejected bv the Senate,
he was confirmed because he was a
satisfactory Republican. When Get).
Grant became president, Stoma was re
tained in office, as Jesse R. Grant, the
President's father, gave out, by his in
fluence. Through theactiou uf Stoius
a certaiu gauger lost his situation be
cause he was found to be unfaithful.
Jesse R. Grant urged Stoma to recom
mend this ganger for restoration tohs
place, saying: "He has off. red
me SSOO fur reappointment as guu
ger. lie is a rascal; hut if you wi/l
r:eo nmrnd him, I t cill takt his money
and giv4 you one-half." Slums refus.d
to do this; and then he was wailed up
on by the Rev, Mr- Crarner, the Rr<
idem'a brother in-law, whom Ger,
Grant has recently appointed Minisior
to Denmark. Cramer alio earnestly
endeavored to |>en>uade Slums to re
store the dishonest gauger, telling him
tliat if he did not comply with this re
quest he could no longer count on the
support of Jpsse R. Grant gt Wash
ington.
This base proposal was also made
by Jerse R. Grant to the father of
Capt. Btoms, who was urged to in
duct his sou to accept the offer and to
secure a place for the gauger already
mentioned and another one. Grant
said that he knew ttte#e ganger* wer#
rascals, and that for that reason he
would take their money and divide
with the Assessor if he would secure
the appointments for them. Grant
also told Mr Stoma, in the pretence
of the Hou. George Crist, that if his
aon did not comply with his wishes he
would soon be punished for it. Soon
after this, president Grant turned
Stoiuf out of office, us Jaspe R. Grant
had threatened.
The first duty of the new house of
Representatives should be to im|>cach
President Grant for his share in this
transaction.
