FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 29’
A PROPOSED REFORM BILL—AN
OUTRAGE ON THE POOR.
It is bad enough to be poor, but if the pen.
alty of misfortune is to be an intimate and
compulsory association with vagrancy, drunk*
enneaa and crime, the horrors of want are in
creased and multiplied. A bill is before the '
Legislature which has passed second reading,
that vagrants, drunkards, or disorderly per
sona, instead of being sent to the County .lail
shall be sent to the City Farm, provided their
residence be in either city, at the expense of
the Guardians of the Poor of said cities
"When the person or persons reside in the
county, then he or she shall be sent U> the
Ootmty Farm at the expense of the Directors
of the Poor of said county.
The respectable poor have hearts and feel
ings like other people, and the Legislature has
no right to condemn them to association with
the scum of society. As a means of saving
expense, the proposition i 6 perfectly ridiculous.
-Tt Would cost ton times the sum to keep the
vagabonds at the Poor Farm which it does iD
jail.
The bill, as printod, is crude and ill-di
gested ihroughout. A.b a measure of reform,
it is worse than useless. If it were not so
manifestly a piece of nonsense, it might be
well for tbo people and the Councils ot the
two cities to protest against its passage, but
such as it is no sane Legislature could for a
moment think of adopting it.
That reform is needed, we know ; but this
bill will make a bad condition of affairs in
finitely worse. The feature giving the Com
missioners acontrolin the jail, while all the
laws of the State hold the Sheriff responsible
for the prisoners, Ip impracticable, if not
illegal.
Our Harrisburg correspondent seem 3 to
think this bill first-rate. We do not know
through what kind of spectacles he reads. We
publish his letter with our clear and decided
protest against the bill which he advocates.
We publish the bill below, considering that
in itself it furnished the most unanswerable
argument why it should not become a law.
Mr. Williams, of our county, moved the post
ponementof the bill. If u ever comes up
again the people of this community will be
greatly obliged to him if he will move to post
pone it indefinitely.
There is not the least doubt that the amount
paid by the tax payers of this county for the
improvement of this class of persons is more
than it ought to be. There is not the least
doubt that there is a class of officers in the city
who make their living by committing drunk
ards and disorderly persons to the county jail.
Reform is necessary. Fees are too high for
tt*e things, and the present laws give too
muny emoluments to the Sheriff in the shape
of jail fees.
But such a bill as this only shifts the costs
from the county tax payers to the city tax
payers and will increase the expense of crime.
Awork house is the thing. Let us have an
Institution where Ihiß class of persons can be
compelled to earn their own living, and re
lieve the public ot their support altogether.

nor offences and relative it.- (he Jail <-< -UU,

DOUGLAS AND BRECKINRIDGE
Od the 20th, in the Senate chamber, Mr.
Douglas and Mr. Breckinridge met together
for the first time, as opponents in debate. “Oc
casional” of the Philadelphia /Vtfis.thuß speaks
of the contest between the two'distinguidied
Senators and statesmen:
“Greek met Greek to-day in tho Senate
chamber. Mr. Breckinridge, having been
rather called out by Douglas’s speech the day
before, replied at length. ThU was the first
time that the two eminent gentlemen mot
together as opponents in debate. Mr. Breck
inridge was careful not to allude to the late
struggle, declaring that ho would
have the past veiled with oblivion. Hu posi
tively stated that, though he had been iu I*-
vor of the Kansas bill, hr* always had beli- vtd
that Territorial Legislatures Lad no ngnt to
prohibit fllavery. He further denied the truth
of Douglas' assertion that the .Republican* had
yielded. If they did not do so soon, he w*a
certain that within six mpnths all tho border
States would be out of tho Union. He coun
selled the withdrawal of the troops from
Southern forts. His speech contained nothing
new, and was rather a weak effort, many of
bis friends being not entirely satisfied with
this display of his oratorical ability.
Judge Douglas then replied, dufonding the
true meaning of the Kansas bill. - He showed
that the Republicans had receded from the
VYilmot Proviso, and that the South bad now
all tho rights in ibo 'territories Bbe evvi a.-ked
for 1 It was ovidem. on an sides, thaw Mr.
Breckinridge is not strong enuugh d. b—

question was concerned. His eiuqucm. *e
marks were listened to with marked attention
by the crowded galleries.
THE TAKIFF.
The Tariff (question is rising in importance
every day- and the groat issue that will bo
forced upon the country as booh as civ.i wa.
is definitely avoided or Drought to a ciobo, w.u
be &b to tho collection of Federal revenue
If we aro to bo compelled to yield to the de
mands of Great Britain and France, as advised
by such papers as tho New lork Times, .t.s
time was aroused. The repeal
of the Morrill tariff bill at the present time,
wouldjthrow 40,000 out of employment in
Pittsburgh alone.

DEPRECIATED CURRENCY
In regard to the movement now going on in
this city to banish depreciated currency from
circulation, the Philadelphia Ledger says •
“There has been quite a itir at F^<f bur 8’
recently, depreciated ban ’
merchants and dealers have «y s j
united in a determination not tc> receive
currency at more than its ma '
Whatever dircount there may be on the paper
in all business transactions, to be deducted
from its face. This is a very good move, and
,f dealers Will persistently reluae to pay these
depreciated bills out, but will employ some
trusty agent to carry them homo for rodemp
u ■>n *in <• jin or its equivalent, they will very
pi,on purire the currency of the depreciated
irarib, and till its place with a sound and re
liable medium, similar to that in use in Phila
delphia and circulating in all the counties
aojacent, trading in our markets. The West
ern banks that now force their bills bo far
frum home, when they found them returned in
bundles, to be redeemed in specie or in Eastern
exchange. would pretty soon give them a dif
ferent direction, where they would meet with
I.‘SB opposition and remain longer in circula
tor.. But If the Pittsburg dealers pay out
the bills as they are received, they will per
petuate them in circulation, to tbeir own an
noyance and the entire exclusion of a more
valuable currency—because no fact is better
settled than that two currencies of unequal
value cannot circulate together—that of
value will appear, while tiiat which is of gr* a
or value will remain out, as no man bavinc
both gold and depreciated paper in his pocket
thinks of uting the cold until the paper is e *'
ponded. So iho gold and specie paying bill
are hid away in pockets, old stockings and in
bark while depreciated paper is slipping
steadi!v trom band to band, usurping and per
forming the entire functions of a specie and
par currency. The otly effective remedy
against a depreciated paper currency is to send
it home, and the discount is quite sufficient to
make it a paying bu.- ness h r any agent who
wil. give it his attention.
khke si*li:lh and kiux press,
l’arif is in a rtaltf i»f perfect bewilderment.
The reading population are absolutely over
whelmed in consequence of the late change in
connection with the liberty of the press. Every
one who hnfi seen a Parisian newspaper knows
how insipid such a sheet had of late years be
come, &Dd especially how enigmatical e\ery
allusion was to political aflsirs. But now be
buld the change 1 In the Senate. M. do U
Kocbejaquehn speaks for a whole day against
the policy of the Kmperor, and eviry j»l and
tittle of the oration is read nort morning by
ho amazed Parisian-., no leas than nineteen
e tluinn? o{ the .Vnn.l'-ur being devoted to the
speech. Then, again, Prince Napoleon takes
up the gloves for his cousin, and right lustily
he belabors his antagonist for hours together
A recess is taken in the debate, for rest and
refreshment, and at it again the princeiy ora
tor goes, until he has utterly demolished bis
. pponent : and every word of this oration also
appears in the ournals of the day. The l*ari
s.ans can »caree!y believe their senses.

several. My inquiries leave no doubt in my
mind that within a circuit of six miles round
the city there are not sixty Protestant families

There are in all about eighty-throe Fronch

A reporter from tho city 1™ here to give & lull
report of what may be said and done.
The citizens of this city were richly enter
tained by an eloquent and powerlul adiress
from Mr. Armstrong, on Kgypt, with travels
amongst the Orientals. This locturo whs
delivered at the request of the \ ot*ng Men's
OhriatiaQ Association of this tbuco. This able
man has no superior, if, indeed, an equal in tho
State, for brilliant imagination with light
cintellations of thought that sparkle at every
sentence. The audience Bat spell-bound lor
more than two hours, eagor and watchful for
every word that fell from the store house of
language, which adorns aud sheds lustre arouDd
and about the eloquent member from Lycom
ing. It was pronounced by men of science
and high literary taste to bo tbo most Aaste
and delightful as well as most instructive
address ever delivered at the btalo capitol.
The lecturer speakß fluently, and to say to you
it was instructive, brilliant, and entertaining,
would be but a faint expression of what was
thought and expressed by many of the vast
and intellectual assemblage who crowded the
expansive hall with their humorous presence
to greet the moat graoeful of men. it b not
often that the legislature can boast of one so
rich in every gift that makes man what he
hould be to represent ihe masses of this glo
rious old commonwealth, and to the disgrace
V._, i. **•
of some stupid creatures, be it s&id, they actu
ally want to sleep. It was so mortifying that I
almost loat-my amiability of temper, in the
disgust of Buch graceless conduct. Butin
every gathering you will find sleepy heads,
who think that they cannot prop up their eye
lids long enough to bear what is good. I
must not omit to mention that the ttiecutive
of the State graced the hall and devoted his
whole attention to the beautiful, sparkling
thoughts which flowtd as swiltly as the cur
rent of the Niagara. Taking it ail together,
it will not b i excell *1 this session or, if ever,
a Legislature.
"We learn with regret the decease of Mr.
William lice, which occurred at bis residence
on Jefferson street, last evening. He was pub
lisher of the Pennsylvanian during the memo
ranle contest which resulted in the election of
Mr Huchanan, tor which servicehff-was poor
ly compensated by a sight interest iu the
printing ot the Post office blanks during a part
of Mr. Buchanan's term. Mr. Rice held the

Major Ben. McCulloch, of Texas, who lafe.

stupendous scheme of Twiggs, spent Saturday
night last in Washington city, and is under,
stood to have been in and about the neighbor

here iay that the reason why he does not make
his appearance in Washington in the day lime,
is because, having seized l oiled States prop

cis-ly so. But this is not good Republican
