fIOW TO LIO IT
For a long time past the National Councils
as well as the entire people of the country
have been agitating the question how the
Kansas difficulty was to be got rid of justly
to th.t) people of Kansas, and satisfactorily to
the great National Democratic party. The
people's time has been trifled away by a series
of efforts '.not to do it" which no • circumlo
cution office" could have excelltd, as far as
nicety of finesse and making the " worse ap%
pear the better reason " is concerned ; still
with all Kansas was left " bleeding," and the
great Democratic doctrine of popular sover
eignty was attempted to be disregarded. All
professed to wish to remove the question from
Congress—all professed an ardent desire to
let the people of Kansas do their own busi
ness in their own way—all said they wished
the matter settled at once and finally—yet
there was no plan proposed " how to do it,"
justly, democratically, and finally. For many
months words have been piled up, and up, and
up—like the Tower of Babel, yet no prophet
appeared, who had the wisdom and the strength
to place a finishing stone to the structure.
Eloquent speeches reaching to the very clouds
have ',obscured in the minds of many, the aps
predation of the fact that after all,the question
was simply whether Kansas should be admit
ted into the Union of States with a constitu
tion legally made by her own citizens. The
war of words has been
and loud,
Like Sinai's thunder pealing from the cloud."
The political powers of the nation have
been stirred up and working like a great whirl
pool,aud yet no practical result has been'accom
plished. The wisdom and the eloquence and
and the political power of this great Republic
failed to mature a plan how to admit Kansas—
to admit it speedily,and upon the basis of those
great Democaatic principles which we believe
to be right and just,untila wise hung states.
man of our own State, like the Jewish youth
who read the mysterious writing on the wall,
rose up and solved the great political puzzle
of the day. The " New Kansas Bill" as of
fered by Mr. Montgomery and passed by the
House, eltectually secures the great object,
which all have professed so ardently to desire
It entirely removes the subject from Congress
and gives the people of Kansas an opportunity
o 1 forever ending the controversy in their
own way,and to their own satisfaction. This is
what the country desires, and Mr. Montgom
ery's bill perfectly end completely accomplishes
it- Let it be adopted and at once the trouble
is at an end. Under its provisions, the pee.
pie of Kansas can decide the matter peaceably,
definitely and unmistakably, It is a genuine
Democratic measure, and no Democrat ought
to refuse to sanction it. Right, patriotism,
reason, and poliey, all call for its adoption.
istuniEtts ,
Of late years, there has arisen a c lass of
"hangers on," not only at Harrisburg, but at
the seat of the general government, who make
their only business, that Of speculation on
what they term " their influence" with the
" powevs that be." What their percentages
amount to from office seekers, office holders,
and government contractors, we have no
means of ascertaining, but most of them con
trive to live handsomely out of the proceeds of
their dirty business. We have one or two of
this kind of political jobbers, who make their
homes in Allegheny county, when the inter
ests of the "dear people" do not call them else
where, which it does when either the Legis
lature or Congress is in session. It speaking
of this class of individuals at Washington City,
the Press says: "These men beset the depart.
ments and Congress to give jobs to certain ins
dividuals, from whom they are to receive a
commission or pecuniary compensation for
their services," and asks, "does Mr. Buchan.
an know this set of corrupt and corrupting po
litical brokers that are around him, endeavor,
ing to obtain his favor by abuse of his old
friends who ditler from him on the Lecomps
ton issue 1"
We have two high an opinion of the Presi
dent's sound sense and judgment to believe
that he will permit these political stock job.
bens to influence him in the slightest degree
in making his decisions. Where merit, posi ,
tion and services demand his attention, they
will be rewarded regardless of importunities of
paid or interested borers, who make great pre•
tensions of influence at home which they new.
er possessed, and who make their clients be
lieve that they have the confidence of the Pres
ident, and carry his appointing power in their
breeches' pockets.
'UDR BUSY WORLD
The manufactories all over the country have
resumed work— most of them on lull time and
with full complements of hands. After all it
is not apparent that the real solid business of
the country has suffered greatly by the finan
cial crisis through which we have just passed.
Those who manufacture, and those who sell
staple artioles,are recommencing business with
unshaken energies. Retrenchment is always
in the bill of luxuries—not necessities, and
the necessities of consumers have compelled
this resumption of business, and will continue
it and increase it during the coming year.
The commercial reports of our cities show a.
considerable revival of business, but it is n
steady, natural and healthy trade which is like
to continue all the summer. The hiatus caus
ed by last fall's disasters must and will be
filled up to the consumer—but it will be done
gradually. In Pittsburgh we do not expect
to have any rush of business like that of '56
and 's'7, but we have all the evidences among
our manufacturers and dealers of a healthful
activity as far as regards staple articles and
the necessaries of life, and the sales are made
for cash to a much greater extent than usual.
Confidence between the city and the country
is renewed, and altogether the producers who
transact business in our city are sound. The
past six months have been anything but a
commercial jubilee -old scores have had to be
settled off, and future credit for a while will
depend upon the ability to pay past dues.—
Trade this Spring will therefore be likely to
be confined to a steady, continuous demand ;
sales made will be for present pay or undoubt•
ed security for speedy payment,peoPle will not
buy in many cases till they have realised the
money from the products of their own indus
try. This will operate as a stimulus for pro
duction, and will cause renewed commercial
prosperity in all departments of Trade.

HOW DIRS. SW ISSIIVrIYIPS NEWSPA
PER CAME TO BE KNOCKED INTO
A day or two since we published an ac
count of the destruction of the printing office
of the St. Cloud Visitor—edited by Mrs. Jane
tt. Swieshelm, formerly of this city. An
attempt was made to make political capital
out of it,but the man who made the "pi" puts
an effectual stopper upon this story by the fol
lowing letter. We do not admire Lynch Law
in any of its phases, but we give Mr. Shepley's
letter to correct the false impression endeav
ored to be made in regard to the cause of the
transactions:
APRIL 8, 1/458
ST CLOUD, Minnesota March 30th, 185 g.
Editor of the Pittsburgh Post : You will have
t;een, by this titne, an account of the deotruc
tisn of the type and disabling of the preen of the
St. Cloud Visfter, edited by Mru. Ststiosholta for
merly of your city. As the Republicans are en
deavoring to make political capital out of this
affair, purely personal with Mr. Shepley, There'
with send you a copy of a letter, written by
him to the St. Paul Pioneer R Democrat, which
speaks for itself. Yours truly
Pitons Pioneer and Democrat, St. Paul: The
ty Pe in the office of "Cho St. Cloud Visiter," pub
hefted in this town, having been put into the
river the other night, and certain of the Re
publicans attempting to charge the act to politi
cal, instead of personal, motives, for the pur
pose of making capital against the Democratic
party, I thought that a statement from 'he
principal actor should appear in the public prints.
The cause of the whole affair was this—l de-
liver d in St. Cloud, some weeks since, a lecture
on "Woman," in which I spoke contemptuously
of "strong minded women." Mrs. Swisshelm,
the editor of the Visiter, claiming to belong to
belong to that class, chose to resent it by pub
lishing a most infamous attack on my wife.
The proprietor of the paper was in Waabing
ton, and there was no one to control her, and I,
knowing her character, bad reason to expect an
other libellous attack worse than the first. I de
stroyed the typo to prevent it, always intending
to pay Mr. Brott, the owner, on his return
home.
Pennsylvania Railroad--The Emigrant
The number of emigrants passed over the
Pennsylvania Railroad daring the month of
March, was 1696, being 'l6 more than during
tbo same month in 1857. Of the whole num
ber, 8241, with 17,760 pounds of extra' bag
ga-2e, were from New York, and 609 of them
went to points west of Pittsburgh. 977 pass
sengers, having 40,862 pounds of extra bag
gage, started from this city, 700 of whom went
to points west of Pittsburgh. The total num
ber of emigrants passing over the road since
the Ist of January, was 3301. During the
past two weeks quite a number of emigrants
took passage for Kansas, and arrangements
are now being made to send a number next
week.
The Franklin Fire Insurance Company have
declared a 3emi•annual dividend „of six per
cent. and extra dividend of nine per cent.. -in
all fifteen per cent. This Company on one
previous occasion declared a semi..annual div
idend of 12 per cent. which was then thought
to indicate a very flattering prosperity; it now
however, divides 15 per cent. fairly outdoing
itself. J. blardiner Coffin, Esq., has been for
many years the agent in thie city of this
sound and reliable Insurance Company. Such
an evidence of ability to meet its liabilities,

Pittsburgh Banks—Relating. to the Attachment of PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
Steamboats—The Tonnage Tax Question.
HARRIBUBRO, April 6, 1.858
The session is fast approaching its end—the
dl y lixed upon for adjournment being the 22d frasNage of the Minnesota Bill by
instant which is just one month earlier than
last year. Your county has had a good deal of
legislation already, and a good deal yet remains
to be acted upon, come of which will fail for
want of time
The Banks in Allegheny county have had their
full ehare of attention. First, the Iron City
Bank has been released from the clause that
compelled it to loan a certain proportion of its
funds upon real estate.security. Next, the Al
legheny Bank has been permitted to remove to
the city of Pittsburgh, after drawing all the
water in the channel (The (1 yvernor had at one
time determined to veto it, but his scruples were
finally satisfied.) And lastly, the Merchants'
and Manufacturers' Bank 11R13 been re-chartered
for fifteen years—lengthening the life of that
institution to forty-five years. There is but one
man here who could get a charter or re charter
for a hank this winter— and that man is your
youthful Senator Wilkins, who is looked upon'as
the Father of the Senate and the Uncle of the
House, and beloved by all. The Anti-Bank
feeling among the radical Democracy is very
strong, yet some of the fiercest hard money men
maintained a gloomy silence when the yeas and
nays were called, and others uttered a faint aye.
But it was "a matter of no consequence," as
Toots says, for the bill went through by a hand
some majority.
The following act has passed the House, and
is awaiting the action of the Senate. Prior to
ite passage, Mr. Irwin had it amended, so that
it varies somewhat from the way it read when
it came from the Judiciary Committee. It is of
great importance to Pittsburghers:
SECTION 1. Be it enacted, ic., That from and
after the passage of this act all ships, steamboats
or vessels :built, repaired, fitted, furnished or
equipped within this Commonwealth, and all
ships, steam or other boats or vessels of what
soever kind, character or desrciption built, re
paired, furnished or equipped not within this
; Commonwealth, but navigating its waters, or the
waters of navigable streams within its limits,

ing cases:
First, For all the wages due to hands or per
sons employed, whether as master, clerk, or
otherwise, on board such ships, steam or other
boats or vessels, for work and labor done or for
services rendered on board the same.
Second, For all debts contracted by the owner

owner or owner's agent, consignee, master, clerk
or clerks of the same to any of the classes above
enumerated, whether the same be signed and
given on account of work or labor done or ma
terials furnished in the building, repairing, fit
ting, furnishing, equipping or insuring such
ship , steam or other boats or vessels as herein
before specified or enumerated : Provided, That
the lien of the same shall continue in favor and
to the benefit of all and every party or parties
whomsoever 1110 whose hands the same may
have passed by transfer, assignment or other
wise
Sac. '3. That those classes of claims shall have
priority according to the order in which they are
above specified and enumerated, and the liens
under this act shall have precedence of all other
liens and ()kilns against any such ships, steam or
other boats or vessels as hereinbefore specified
and enumerated and owing by the owner or
owners thereof in relation thereto or on account
of the same: Frovide - 1, That no precedence or
priority of claim or lien shall exist or obtain be
tween any of the parties enumerated and spe
cified in the second class, other than as the same
shall exist and obtain by operation of law.
SE() 3. That no more than three months'
wages shall be recovered in any snit upon a lien
in the first class above specified and enumerated,
and every person claiming a lien in that chi.
shall commence his suit within sixty days after
three mouths' wages shall have become due and
owing as aforesaid, and iu case there shall not
be three mouths' wages doe and owing, or if the
contract for service shall have terminated in a
shorter time than three months, as aforesaid,
then the same shall be commenced within sixty
days after the came is due and owing and within
sixty days after the conclusion and termination
of such contract
SEO. 4 That all suits upon liens in any other
than the first class above enumerated shall he
commenced within two years after said materials
are furnished or ;work and labor done, or within
two years after the date of the last item in the
account upon which the action is founded; and
any neglect or failure to commence suit by virtue
of this or the last preceding section shall dis
charge such ships, steam or other boats or ves
sels, as -hereinbefore specified and enumerated,
from the lien of the demands so claimed as afore
said. '
Sue. 5. That the taking or receiving of any
note, bill of exchange, or other writing, in set
tlement of a debt comprehended in any of the
ove enumerated classes, shall in nowise loyal
Mate the lien given by this act, but the sumo
shall exist in full force and effect as if no such
note, bill of exchange or other writing had been
given: Provided, That the time for which the
same be given be within the time of the lion, no
allowed and fixed by this act.
SEC. G. That all-the remedies under this act
shall be the same in manner of application and
execution as such remedies are carried out and
obtained in the law to which this is a supple
meat.
SRO. 7. That-all laws or parts of laws in con
flict with the spirit or provisions of this act be
and the same hereby aro repealed.
There is some talk of repealing the tonnage
tax, and an immense number of petitions have
been received asking for the repeal, and a few
remonstrances; but I take it no action will be
had on it this session. In this connection I may
mention that an informal meeting of the Senate
was held on Thursday evening of last week to
hear the arguments of William L. Hirst, City
Solicitor of Philadelphia, and Theodore Cuyler,
of Philadelphia, in favor of abolishing this tax.
They were both able legal arguments, as might
have been expected from the gentlemen making
them. Judge Wilkins, in presenting a paper
from the Pittsburgh Board of Trade, declining
to appear before the meeting through counsel,
prefaced it by remarking that he differed with
the Board of Trade, and he believed the people
were divided upon the subject. Dr. Gazzam re.
plied to Mr. Hirst, taking the side of the ques;
tiou maintained by the Board of Trade of Pitts
burgh. He had been requested to do so by a
committee from the Board of Trade. Although
the doctor's preparation had been brief, be ac
quitted himself creditably. In reply to the de
claration of Mr. Hiret, that the tax was uncon
stitutional and would be so declared if the ques
tion was carried before the United States Su
preme Court, ho said the best evidence that it
was constitutional was to be found in the feet
that the company had not seen fit to go to the
trifling expense and trouble of testing its consti
tutionality.
The " grab game" of the lower House seems
to meet with little favor in the Senate, where the
two hundred dollars extra compensation to each
member has been stricken out of the General
Appropriation bill. But the necessities of our
Scions are great, and I should not wonder if the
Senate receded.
Governor Paoli er is bearing himself in a way
that commands the respect of all parties. lie
has exercised the veto power in more than a
score of instances, but in not a single one has he
been reversed. Comment is unnecessary. A.
resolution has been offered to print his veto mes
sages in a separate volume, and I think it is
likely to pass. With his natural shrewdness and
good sense, and such a first class legal adviser as
Attorney General Knox, it is not likely that Gov
ernor Packer will often be found in the wrong.
His administration begins auspiciously. It it so
coutinuee, it will be a proud era in the history of
the Commonwealth. PAXTON.

Yesterday's Proceedings.
A lengthened discussion followed the adverse re
port of the Committee on Printing, against printing
eulogies on recently deceased Senators.
Messrs. Fessenden, Brown, Hale and others spoke
against unnecessary printing.
Mr. Cameron said in behalf of the committee that
all pi Lure books would be rejected in future; $30,-
000 or $40,000 had already been saved by the com
mittee's economy.
Messrs. Houston and Mason spoke in favor of
printing the eulogies.
Mr. Seward explained that his vote in favor of
printing them was not influenced by personal in
terest. Exaggerated funeral honors were also spoken
of as unnecessary.
Finally Mr. Houston's motion to print was disa
greed to.
The bill to admit M,nnesota into the Union was
then taken up. The amendments were concurred in,
and the bill was read the third time.
Mr. Wilson called fur the yeas and nays.
Previous to the calling of the roll, Messrs. Bell of

The Senate then adjourned.
110 USE, 01, REPRESENTATIVEF
Mr. Otero, of New Mexico, intruced a bill for the
construction of a wagon and emigrant road in New
Mexico.
The House then went into Committee of the whole,
and resumed the consideration of the Deficiency and
Appropriation bills.
Mr. Lotoher, of Virginia, said that the Committee
on Ways and Moans were placed in an embarrass , .
jug position. They had been fired on from the Dem
ocratic side of the House against all the provfnions
of the bill ; but all seemed to concur in the conclu
sion that unless the bill in every provision eau be
made acceptable to them, they are prepared to vote
it clown, and leave the Government without the
policy which it has inaugurated.
During the debate on the amendments, Mr. Wash
borne, of Maryland, and Mr. Granger opposed the
supplies for Utah on the ground that the President
is prosecuting the war against the Mormons without
authotity.
Mr. Lovejoy was willing to undertake the war
with Utah by contract at half what the bill proposes
to appropriate. All that the Government has to say
is whether Brigham young be hanged, and how
many men it waste to ho killed.
Mr. Letoher replied: It was net known before
that the gentleman was a fighting man ; other wise
tae Secretary of War would have spoken to hint on
the subject. [Laughter.]
Mr. Hughes, in reply to an incidental remark of
Mr. Colfax, said that the debate on Kansas was open
ed by the little giant from Ohio, (Mr. Cos,) and that
he (Hughes) only spoke at that time about fifteen
minutes in response. But if his colleague would
listen to a epoch, he could convert him. [Laughter.]
Mr. Colfax replied that ho would find bin labor
vain.
Mr. Hughes. I have converted you, for you de
clared that you would not vote for the admission of
Kansas - under the Lecompten Constitution, and yet
did no theeothq.drty, {-Laughier.j,
Mr. Colfax replied that he hid not voted to ratify,
but to reject that Constituion. He had voted to ad
mit Kansas as a State without endorsing any eun
stitution, leaving the people to vote on Lecompton
under snob circumstances as the Washington (lowa
declared would induce them to reject it. He had
voted for Crittendon's amendment, which the same
paper said was as full of Black Republicanism as
an egg is full of meat.
On motion of Mr. Garnett, the committee rose and
reported a bill with the recommendation, that it be
re-committed io the committee of Ways and Means,
with instructions to report in separate bill the items
for the deficiency, under each head, the expenditure
for service for the present fiscal year, and in another
bill all appropriations designed for the next fiscal
year, and also with to restore to Congress an effieient
Jontrol over the expenses of governmant.
Mr. Letcher raised the . (inaction whether such in
structions could not be given as it would be impossi
ble to comply with thew.
The speaker replied that the report was novel in
its character, but at the same time it was competent
for the committee to make the recommendation.
Mr. Campbell said, if the recommendation prevail,
it would amount to the practical defeat of the bill.
The previous question was ordered on agreeing to
instructions to the committee on Ways and Means,
pending which thellouse adjourned.
From 'Washington.
WASHITIOTON CITY, April 7.---Much solicitude is ex
pressed concerning the Deficiency Appropriation bill,
which is now more clearly than ever threatened with
defeat in its present form. The interest is increased
by the foot that the supplies to the Utah expedition
depend on its passage, and money is wanted for the
immediate nepessities of the service. The War De
partment transmitted full particulars of contracts
entered into for supplies to the Utah expedition.
'rimy do not sustain the published statements of ex
orbitant prices. The rates of sransportation depend
upon the season in which the service is performed.
The Senate returned the Kansas bill to the House
to-day. By general agreement, the latter will take
it up to-morrow at one o'clock.
