It Gold Declining In Value ?
( t This is - somewhat novel, and certainly a
very inUrertiog inquiry one which we
. were not looking for, and which will take
most people by surprise and yet the sub
ject seems to be provoking inquiry and in
vestigation, not only in the great money
centre of this country, but in foreign parts
also. The New York Post says the ques
tion is asked with absorbing interest every
morning in Wall street, and with equal in
terest, but much wider signification, by po
litical economists of France. Some of them
believe that the great production of gold
for the last twenty years, in California and
Australia, is already beginning to lower the
value of coin ; that certain local and tempo
rary causes have hitherto retarded this de
cline ; but that the movement is now becom
ing wore rapid, and that a general and large
rise of prices, in lands and goods, is impen
ding; that is to say a great fall in money.
The foretaste of this, M. de Mornay con
tends, is given by the general rise in the
price of labor and of small farms which has
already taken place in France. On the oth
er ' hand, such writers as M. de Cavereno
ascribe this advance chiefly to diminished
production, scarcity and taxation; while
M. Bonnet says it is due chiefly to the in
crease of wealth. Who shall decide?
The Fish Question.
The Lancaster Intelligencer recommends
t'lat the fish law should be amended if, as
Judge Pearson has decided, it is unconstitu
tionil ; or, if no other means can be employ
ed to insure a passage for shad to their nat
ural spawning places in the upper waters of
our rivers, the State should erect fihawaysjin
the obstructing dams, and provide, at the
same time, for stocking the runs and small
streams with black bass, which can be done
at little expense. Our streams, it remarks,
are peculiarly fitted for the habitation of
black bass, and a few hundred dollars would
stock any ons of them. It does seem un
reasonable that the hundreds of thousands
of citizens residing in the valleys of the
Susquehanna, Juniata and their tributarie
should be deprived of the luxury of fish of
the finest quality, on account of the sclfish-
ted companies whose dams obstruct the pas
sage, and some legal remedy ought to be
provided.
Models of Brevity,
General Grant's brief letter of acknowl
edgment passes to the journal of Congress
thus:
Gextlemev: Please notify the two hous
es of Congress of my acceptance of the im
portant trust to which I have been elected,
and of which you have jut notified me ;
andsay to them that it will be niv endeavor
to so discharge it that they and those who
elected me shall have no reason to regret
their action.
Beneath it stands that of Mr. Colfax in
these words: .
Gentlemen : Please eonrey to the two
houses of Congress my acceptance of the
office to which I have been elected by the
people of the United States, and assure
them that I shall endeavor to prove worthy
of this mark ot confidence by fidelity to
principle and duty.
It is seldom that two such unostentatious
papers are made the medium of thanks and
tfce promise of fidelity, where the occasion
is so great and thj inducement to elaborate
so strong.
The Cuban devolution.
Cuba is rapidly becoming the momentary
centre of interest for the civilized world.
Almost beyond doubt, now, the revolution
ists are on the verge of success. Enthusi
asm at home and reinforcements pressing
from our shores will soon make rebellion rev
olution. Nowhere has slavery been so dread
ful, or its impiety more defiant, than on this
little island, and civilization may well re
joice at the prospect of its speedy and com
plete downfall. General Pulce's proclama
tion, withdrawing his recent offer of amnes
ty, and recinding the ephemeral decree
granting the freedom of the Dress, is the.
best evidence needed of the desperation of
toe Spanish cause, n ithin a tew days yet
the news from Cuba must be exciting aid
important. In the mootime those who
would be intelligently reidy to view the
march of events will commence .to read up
Cuban history and statistic.
Uorernment Seourities.
Under the influence of the foreshadow
ings of Gen. Grant's policy, Government
securities have gone up. Public confidence
at home and abroad has been stimulated,
and business of every kind cannot fail to im
prove under the certainty of a stable and
honest administration o the public affairs.
General Grant' platform ; Relrauhment,
faakjul collection of the revenue and the
payment of the public debt, have had an al
most magical effect. It Congress will sup
port him in carrying it out, the problem of
speciepayment and kindred questions will be
more than half solved.
Wisconsin Gallantry.
The citizens of Janesville, Wisconsin, at
an election held to indicate a successor to
the present postmaster, voted largely in fa
vor of Miss Angie King, and the representa
tive in Comrresa from that district. Mr Hnn.
kin, has promised to recommend her ap
pointment. Janesville is a city of some
twelve thousand inhabitant, and the office
is an important one ; bnt Mis, King is said
io be ft very yonng lady and fully conversant
with the. duties of the post. Courage la
dies! theses are ''Jacking up."
The Next Cennu.
Both Houses of Congress have adopted
preliminary measures towards taking the
census of the United States during the next
year. The census of the country at large is
taken, by the autl ority of the general Gov
ernment at the close of every full decade,
and the census of the States, by the State
authority, at the close of every five interven
ing years. Committees have been appoint
ed which will probably meet during the sum
mer recess, to arrange the proper legislation
for completing the census, and Congress,
when it meets again, must pass the laws to
give effect to the measures.
The taking of a national census is not a
matter of small importance, nor is it, as
many reem to think, of interest only to the
statistician. Onthebasisof population, a new
apportionment of representatives among the
several States, and in the States among
the several districts, has to be made every
ten years. The relative power of the States
and districts, in the popular branch of Con
gress, is thus changed at the close of each
decade ; and how great that change is from
one period to another may be learned by
comparing the representation of the States
in Congress now with what it was twenty,
fifty, or eighty years ago.
There are many other matters of great
public interest, connected with population,
determined by the census, such as the na
tionalities of the people; the comparative
increase or diminution of the several races
which compose the population ; the number
.of these several classes which have a claim
upon public sympathy or aid; the Llind.the
deaf and dumb, the insane, etc. ; and how
they are distributed. Then there are the
statistics of education, the schools, acade
mies and colleges of the country, the nuui
bers that attend them and of those who
ought to be receiving an education; all
which is of vital importance to the welfare
of lhe country.
Another object is to ascertain the prog
ress of the country in all its industrial pur
suits; its agriculture, with the various pro
ducts of the soil and their distribution over
the land ; its manufactures, comprising an
immense variety of articles ; the develop
ment of the country itself and of its pro
ductive wealth, by its railroads and other
means of locomotion and transportation;
its great publishing interests, its newspa
pers and presses of various kinds with all
their Issues, ic. All these, embracing a
thousand particulars to be inquired into,
form the basis of legislation and of popular
action, making a correct census a matter of
far greater consequence than many seem to
regard it.
It is important that the next census be
completely and accurately made. There are
many things connected with the present
state of the country which awaken the fear
that it will not be done as carefully as it
ought to be, and that the value of this de
cennial examination ot the state of the peo
ple and tht country will in consequence be
country within the last ten years ; the un
settled state of things in some parts of the
land, arising out of the war of the rebellion;
the growing corruption among officials, and
the neglect of public duties for the sake of
aJvancingprivate interests : these and many
other things give rise to the fear that this
great national duty may be slurred over.
But, it is to be hoped, Congress will, in its
legislation on the subject, adopt all proper
measures to have the census taken thor
oughly and well. There is ample time for
maturing the whole matter in Congress and
out, and our legislators and executive offi
cers will be performing a great pullic ser
vice by taking every precaution to secure
fidelity and efficiency on the part of those
who are to carry out the details of the busi
ness. Let us have a complete accurate cen
sus for the year 1870.
Petitions are already in circulation in the
interior of the State setting forth that 'we
the undersigned, without regard to party,"
&c, request the Legislature of Pennsylva
nia not to indorse the suffrage amendment
to the Constitution. Although the petition
assumes to be originated and finned with
out regard to party, it is well established
that the Democratic leaders of Columbia
county, (Senator Buekalew's home) are the
originators of it. Commercial.
Jefferson Davis has been finally relieved
of every disability incurred by his treason,
and is now as good as the best, the Supreme
Court having swept away the last sem bin nee
of legal technically. Future enemies to
their country are thus authoritively assured
of the worst that can happen to them if
they fail in their endeavors to overthrow
the Government, after drenching the coun
try in blood for five years and coveriug pos
terity with a mountain of debt.
Republican Victory. The Republi
cans carried their ticket on Friday last, in
Northumberland by an average majority of
43. Burjjess, Town Council, and all the
other borough officers on the Republican
ticket were elected. This is the first time,
we believe, that the Republicans have car
ried Northumberland, and it is a significant
sigii of changes in the county, that hitherto
strongho.'d of Democracy.
The revenue of Great Brittain last year
amounted to $373,000,000 in gold, her ex
penditures to $363,000, 000. She paid $139,
000,000 interest on her public debt. Abou'
"4 per cent, of her expenses, $276,640,000,
went for thr3e items interest, army and
navy leaving but 26 per cent, to cover all
other public expenditures. The annual tax
amounts to about $11.76 per head of the
whole population.

Notes From Harrisbnrg.
The general appropriation bill was again
under consideration on Thursday last, 18th.
Mes-srs. Strang, of Tioga, Niles, of Tioga,
and McCullough, of Clearfield, opposed the
section appropriating one hundred thousand
dollars to the proposed new insane asylum
at Danville, and the appropriation was vo
ted down, the disposition being against
the erection of the institution. Most of the
motions for additional appiopriations to va
rious charitable institutions were lost.
At the evening session of the same day,
the appropriation bill or second reading was
considered. Mr. McMiller, Democrat, mo
ved an amendment increasing the members'
salary to $1,500, thus addiug $66,000 to
legislative expenses. Messrs. Wilson, Ilerr
and Richardson spoke energetically in oppo
sition, and Messrs. McMiller and Davis, of
Philadelphia, in favor. Alter an exciting
discussion the amendment was lost. The
yeas were 28, namely : Adaire, Beard, Bas
sard, Breen, Bunn, Cloud, Daily, Davis of
Philadelphia; Fry, Goundie, Harvey, Hoi
gate, Hong, Josephs, Klockner, McCul
lough, McGinnis, McMiller, Marin, Mor
gan, Mullen, Myers, Nelson, Nice, O'Neil,
Rogers, Scott, Stout and Westler. The
nays were sixty. The House, certainly, did
a sensible thing in voting down this motion
of Mr. McMiller, to increase the pay of
members five hundred dollars. Of the twen
ty-eight who voted for the amendment six
teen were Democrat. This tact proves how
hollow are the professions of the Democrat
ic party in favor of retrenchment and re
form. Only twelve of the sixty-one Repub
licans voted for the proposition.
The House has at length concluded to go
back on the supernumeriesit ordered at the
commencement ot the session. It passed a
resolution ordering the clerk to dismiss
them, and authorizing tbe State Treasurer
to pay them for the time they were retain
ed. Whether the Senate will even sanction
this action of the House remains to be seen.
The annual report of the Lunatic Asylum

the postponement of the convention.
The bill for the new county of "Petrolia"
passed the Senate on the 10th b; the de
cisive vote of twenty-one to ten. Tho erec
tion of a new county from parts of Crawford,
Venango, Warren and Forest would seem to
be a commercial necessity of that section.
Titusville is the acknowledged metropolis of
the oil region. Tha business concerns of
its people cover every section of the territory
included within the proposed new county,
and embarrassment is entailed upou their
transactions by the existing corporate divis
ions of Crawford, Warren, Forest and Ve
nango, involving the most harrassiug com
plexity and expense to citizens. The popu
lation embraced within the boundaries of
r . rf a u, acicil'
years past, most unanimously petitioned in
its favor, and we are glad to know that the
appeaHs no longer to be disregarded.
A bill, supplemental to the election laws,
has been reported from the special commit
tee, which is believed will obviate the objec
tions urged bythe Supreme Court to the late
Registry law. It also provides for the abol
ishment of tho spring elections, and that
the officers heretofore elected at that time
shall be chosen on tbe second Tuesday of
October.
Washington City Gossip.
A discharged soldier testified before a
special Coneressionalcommittee. a fv ..n-s
since, that he was in the employ of Mr.
fctoeckl in July, 1SGI ; waiting at a dinner
party, Mr. Corcoran and Senator Bayard
present, the latter remarked that he would
give ten thousand dollars to any man who
would hang Lincoln and his Cabinet Mr.
Corcoran said he would give one hundred
thousand dollars to see it done. The wit
ness underwent rigorous cross-examination
by senator V lckers, but be told a plain and
plausible story. The committee then cal
led Mr. Stoeckl's steward, who had been in
the employ of the Russian Embassy for
about forty years, and he was asked what
he had heard of or knew about the alleged
conversation. He at once refused to answer,
and put in a plea that as an attachee of the
Russian Legation he could not be put upon
the stand. He was given until Wednesday
next, to-day at ten o'clock A. M. , to make up
his mind what he will do.
President Johnson, it is said, contem

not less than one thousan l applications for

of counterfeiters and revenue thieves to

bly disposed. As he will go out with few
other friends, it is understood that he will
make a bold stroke to attach these precious
scamps to him for all future time.

heaviest disbursement of the month. Ac
cording to present indications, even with an
average amount ot receipts from customs,
internal revenue, and miscellaneous sour
ces, the next monthly statement will show
a considerable reduction of the public debt.

The last Republican National Convention
was persuaded to resolve that SnflFr
- lu
loyal States was whollv within the ril.,f..l
control of those States respectively. Such '
was the fact.as we then understood and etill
hold ; and yet that resolve did not com
mend itself to our approval. In stating the
fact as it was, it might be held to express
an opinion that the power ovef Suffrage ought
remain where it was then lodged ; ana in to
this we do not concur. The Government of
the United States should have power to pro
tect all the People of this country from lo.
cal tyranny, degradation and vassalage ; if
it lacks such power, tbe want should be
promptly and fully supplied. The Demo
cratic journalists and stumpers, but espec
ially those of tho outright" Rebel vartety,in
stantly seized upon this Chicago declara
tion as too horrible to be contemplated with
out shuddering. How Toombs and Howell
Cobb raved over it, as a Republican procla
mation that "niggers were good enough to
vote in the South, but not in the North."
All over tbe country, we were roundly ac
cused of making the Black a voter in the
South out of hatred to her Whites.but deny
ing him the Right of Suffrage at the North,
because we de pised and detested the Blacks.
Congress took hold of the matter at this
session, and resolved to remove all cause for
just complaint of partiality or sectional indig
nity. It decreed that no citizen bbould be
disfranchised in any State or section because
of his color. Jn deference to the truth af
firmed at Chicago, it gave this proposition
the form of a Constitutional Amendment
requiring the asent of three -fourths of the
States. This it may not secure ; but if it
does not, the blame will rest on those who
so vehemently protested against the invidi
ous distinction between the North and the
South made by the Republican platform.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, to which
the President's message communicating his
Amnesty Proclamation was referred, report
ed on the 18th. They concede the right of
the President to grant a reprieve or a par
don, but deny that he is invested with any
constitutional authority to proclaim a gener
al amnesty. The report, which concludes
with the following resolution, was ordered
to be printed :
Resolved, That in the opinion of the Sen
ate the proclamation ot the President of
the United States of the 20th of December,

and amnesty to all persons guilty of treason
and acts ol hostility to tbe United States

rights &c, was not authorized by the Con
