PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17
Poetic ECONOUY.—Exr ses or Coo RTS. —Since
It hits been made apparent to the public, that we are
"o'ver head and ears" in debt, and that we must find
acme other mode of getting out of our difficulties than
the old one of contracting new liabilities, to pay off old
ones, every body who thinks en the itibjeCt is anxious
to discover some means by which permanent relief I
may be obtained. A friend has furnished us with the ,
following, which we adopt as our own, and commend it
to public attention.
While speaking of die subjects, that call for the in
vestigation of a searchingeconcmy, in order to cliscov
'r the expenses, or increase the revenue of the State,
some small things should be attended to. The great
'Object With us should be to inculcate a general and rigid
stem of economy in all the departments of the gov
ernment. And we shall never learn to be really econ
'emical,while we are indifferent as to smallexpenses
and small wastes.
It ought to become a fixed habit of thought and ac
tion in every agent of the people, to avoid ivy expen
diture which can be dispensed with, anal' .& suppress
every tendency to extravagance. A saving even in
the wax and tape and candles of the legislature; would;
in this view, be of Much consequence. It would prove
a disposition fi'verable to economy, and tend to induce
e conomical habits. We eh-all not therefore find fault,
when we see members of the legislature attempting a
reformation even in these small matters.
We haveoften thought of die immense cost of our
tourts to the public., wad wished that more of the ex
pense could be thrown upon the litigating parties. We
'have nocomplaints as to the salaries of the judges.—
We think that, as the world goes now-a-days, we are
hot to expect people to accept office out of charity to
'the public; and we do not think thatjudges are gener ,
illy paid as much by the state, as they could make at
The practim of the law, and nut so much as is often
Made by private agents orindividuals in compamtively
unimportant stations. But why is it that the public is
bound to support litigation I Why should peaceable
• and orderly Citizens; who perform well their own clo
the Mid pay their debts Without dispute, be compelled
. 'to pay for the litigious disposition and habits of others?
Why are not all the expenses of our civil coin is charg
'ed upon the litigating parties ?
Our court houses, and clerk's and sheriff's offices are
Paid for by a general tax, though there are thousands
of persons who never have a suit in court in their lives.
Those of us who never have a case tried before a judge
have to pay a part of his salary. Why may there ndt
be a tax upon judicial proceedings, sufficient to throw
the burden of them upon the proper persons? We have
been informed that the costs of suit in Penritilivinia are
less than in any State in the Union. Why is it? Does
hot this account for the immense amount of litigation
that we have? People are often glad t.o be sued,
in order to take advantage of the law's delay, ems
• consid an
er the Ertel! amount of costs they pay a all
.tonsideraticin for the time the, gain.
We have not much experience in these Matters, but
We think there are evils which might be remedierl.
Vie think that litigation might be niuch diminished if
the whole exiienie of it were thrown upon the parties;
and this would be itself a great moral benefit. We have
rend that, in old times, the law was that whoever fail
ed in action was adjudged to pay a fine to the state for
his wrongful prosecution or defence. Why might not
this be so, in some form now? Why should there not
be area paid to the state for every judgment entered?
'The only tax now paid is fqsm2s to 50 cents on every
,
tuft brought. This is all the State gets from he
the in t pcome
ar
- ties to support our courts, except the taxo
of the officers; and the county gets only $4 for each
verdict on which a judgment is rendered, tho' the cost
to the county is never much less than $2O, and often
amounts to $lOO, or even $2OO or $3OO.
We see no reason why there may not be a fee paid
- - to the state of at least one dollar for every judgment en
tered, and oven an additional fee of one half per cent,
or on 6 per dent. art the amount recovered, and then
charged against the losing party as part of the Costs.
In this way the state might get clear of the whole bur ,
rien of the judiciary, and cast the expense of it on the
litigant parties. Wehave beard this plan suggested
by lawyers, and we know not how any can object to it,
• artless because it would discourage litigation. We
must, however, withhold any further remarks until an
'
t • ether time.
Itsssr.n Coven.—The democrats of Beaver held
a County Convention on Monday, for the purpose of
appotnting delegates to the 9th of March Convention.
We understand most of the districts were fully repre
sented an all the business of the Convention was trans
acted vety harmoniously. The following gentlemen
steto appointed delegates:

IN T E RESTING FACTS.—The Rev'd E. Snit'', in his
( speech before the Repeal Association, on the tith inst.
said
that we went for liberty everywhere unfit° all men.
But he especially desired to see Ireland free, inasmuch
as no nation had manifested such an unswerving de
votion to Liberty as the Irish CPR'iOll. She it was that
struck the first effectual blow at the feudal system,and
when other nations were engaged in an inhuman trai
-1 fir, and "buying the muscles and the bones of man,"
It eland had kept clear of the unchristian and debasing
trade. No slave ship, be stated, had ever entered an
Irish port, nor had an Irish ship ever carried a slave.
I t These facts speak volumes fortne devotion of that peo
ple to the purest principles of Liberty.
MORE ABOUT THE SHEPHERDESS. The Reporter
of the Bth, contains the following additional particu
lars concerning this terrible calamity:—The steamer
Agatha visited the wreck of the Sheperdess again on
Saturday last, and succeeded in saving about twenty
trunks and boxes belonging to passengersi and a entail
quantity of the bedding and fixtures of the boat. Only
one body was found—that of a negre child. the re
gister of the cabin passengers was obtained, but so do
faced and obliterated as td bd scarcely legible in many
harts: All thdse whose names could be made out,
bare been saved, except Mr. Bickner, of Baltimore.
It was rumored on Saturday that Capt. Howell had
been saved, but there is now no doubt that be was lost.
Mr Pool and five children were brought to this city
from Carondclet on Saturday last, and comfortably
provided for.
When the Agatha approached the wreck an Satur
day, several persons were seen to leave it, and it is
feared that they were engaged in the Work of plunder.
If there are any such beings in this region, as would
prey upon the misfortunes of the destitute, under cir
etimstances like the present, early graves in the Mis
sissippi would be too good for them.
The register of the deck passengers has'not beet
found. It is estimated, from the best I..ta that Can
ho obtained, that about fifty persons were lost.
'rho following from the sinie paper, speaks well for
the humanity df the citizens of St. Louis.
\Vela. tilt n.—The Committee appointed at the
meeting du Friday night last, to collect contributions
fur the relief of the sufferers by the snagging of the
Shepherdess, obtained on Saturday $4,488. Mr. L. A.
Labesiune;we learn, collected $264 of the foregoing
amount, and Mr. R. P. Clarke $248. In addition to
the above, several gentlemen made large contributions
iii clothing, &c. Collections in behalf of the sufforers
were made in several of the churches yesterday, but
we have not yet learned the amount thus obtained
This speaks well for the liberality of our citizens
VAN BURYS AND JoHN3oL—Col. Seth Salisbury,
Chairman uf the Johnsoa State Cen. Com., bee writ
ten a letter in which he states, by adthority, that the
gallant Colonel will submit to the action of the Na
tional Cenat , ention, but suttgesting, that his name be
used I that case In connection with the Vice Presi
dency. Van Buren and Johnson would make a strong
team.
PHILADELPHIA FIRE CWIPAS lES—The Times
states that in consequence of the riotous disposition of
the Fire Companies in the District of Spring Garden ,
the Commissioners have declined to furnish any
of them with appropriations, eitcepi the Pennsylvania
Hose Company. All but this company, have, there
fore withdrawn from service, and the is, that
the North-western r &thin of POlsidelpha, will be left,
comparatively speaking, unprotected in the event of
fire.
COST or A IStat.E.—The cost of a bible in the ven t .
127'2 was "fifty merksa," about $34. The price of la
bor at that time was ld, per dime. At that rate, a
man must have appropriated the whole of his earnings
for twetity seven years to pay for a bible.

an inquiry as td the best mode of evading the income
trot, s -Lys, "Invest all your m-ney in Pennsylvania

'The amount of specie arrived at New Orleans

Kt..wructcr.—The Democratic Convention of Ken
tucky have nominated the Hon 0. H. 131.7 - rt.mt for Gov
ernor, and Ptt.cu ER for Lieut Governor.
GROSS ImPintrtoN.—Some scamp at Ilarristitirgh
has grossly humbugged the New York Tribune, by as
suring it that Pennsylvania will go for Clay; and Gree
ley appears to swallow the story. We look upon this
as the bestjoke of the season.
ALABAMA.—The Comatiuee df Ways and Means
in the House have reported an efficient tax bill. It pro.
videsfor a tax of 25 cents on $lOO value of land; Wu;
and buildings, 30 cents on $100; slaves, from 13 cents
to $2 each, according to age, sex, &c. Other things in
proportion. This bill, it is estimated, would protium
$350,000 per annum. It was ordered to be printed.
A substitute for it.proposingto reduce the present taxes
about one-half, was promptly laid on the table, 52 to
27. All this looks well for Alabama, and also for her
creditors.
The daily Democratic Union has 'wen discontinued.
We are sorry far it, as file few numbers that were issu

THE 'MURDER OF SPRAGUF'
The examination of the Gerdons and O'Brien, char- :
ged with the murder of Mr Sprague, has been postpo
ned until Tuesdny. Speaking of the matter, the Prev:
idence Journal says:
"It is stated that all of the strongest features of ev
idence prejudiced to the Gordons are known, end that
everything hereafter cannot but serve tofavor
We have been told that they calculate on presenting ev
idence which shall acquit them entirely of all partici
pation in the murder, while at the same time they will
give up the real assassin to justice.
It is whispered that O'Brien knows more of the
business than any one else, and may be the very man
the law should punish, but ofthis we know nothing defi
nite. He threatened yesterday, we believe, to put jus
tier on the right track before sunset, and is reported
to,he the most restless and uneasy man in the party.—
It will be recollected that O'Brien had had some diffi
culty with Mr Spr'a'gue, and was discharged by him
some time since. VI hut if it should be made out that
he had done the deed !

OUTRAGE ON THE HIGH SEI3.--Yeeterday Cap
tain Edwin John Colby, and mate, Mr Perry Burr, of
the brig Alice, were arrested and taken before Alder
man Redman, on compinint of Hiram Chesty, who
was a hand on buurd the said vessel on her reeen't pas
sage from Liverpool to this city. It appears from
the testimony that Chesby had been cast away previ
ous to the late voyage, and was put on board the brig
Mice at Liverpool by the American Consul. The ves
sel had been put but a few days, when a storm arose,
and the cormilainant was called by the mate, to come
on deck to take in sail. The former was sick at the
time, and his movements were consequently slow.—
The captain then went below, and kicked and cuffed
the sailor, and at length the mate descended,and aided
the captain to complete the work of flogging. And
it was done effectually. The sailor was knocked clown,
and stamped upon, until his body presented a variety
of colors. On the 9th of December, he was put in
chains and laid upon deck, without coat, hat, or shoes,
and orders were given not to give him any thing to
eat tot the term of twelve hours. The captain and mate
were bound over in the sum of 500 dollats each, to an
swer at the Disttict Court of the United States.—Phila.
