The Clearfield Republican, of last week, contains the following item in reference to tbe attempt in tbe House of Representatives to raise the pay of the members of the 'Pennsylvania Legislature from $1,000 to f!,500ayear: "A Failure. A bold attempt was made last week by the corruption rioa; in our Leg islature, to raise the salary of the members to $1,500, but there were righteous men enough in tliia modern Sodoiu to aave the i reasury from the contemplated raid. Con gressmen and Legislator act as though the people sent theui to Washington and tlar risburg to steal the public lands and rob the lieanury. it the tendency or grand moral ideas" is to this end. the sooner neorle cet something else into their heads the better tor themselves and the country. Why did not the editor of the RejmLlican give all the facts connected with this attempt to increase the pay of the members of tbe Pennsylvania Legislature ? Why did he not inform his readers that the amendment for this increase was offered by M' Miller. Dem ocrat, from Montgomery? Why did he not notice the fact that M'Cullough, Democrat, from Clearfield, voted for this increase of pay? Why did he not state that seventeen of the twenty-eight who voted for M'Miller's amendment were Democrats? The reason is obvious: It was a Democratic measure, and by telling only half the truth he hoped to dodge the responsibility incurred by hi party friends, and thus, by implication at least, fix the whole responsibility on the Re publican me libers. The editor of the Republican should also give to his readers the names of such Dem ocrats as spoke- in favor of, and voted tor an increase of the Surveyor General's salary .he names of those who made he n otions, and voted for an increase of one hundred dollars to two of the night watchmen the names of those who moved, spoke in favor of, and voted for an increase of two dollar a day to the Associate Judges in the several counties the names of those who were in favor of and voted for an increase of one hundred dollars in the salary of the Super intendent ' of the Public . Buildings and Grounds.' These, and other propositions of ''the corruption ring" to "rob the Treasury," as well as the attempt to increase tbe pay ot the members, are wortbv tha attention of nnr vigilant neighbor. Whether the increase in the salaries re ft rred to is right or wrong, we do not now propose to discuss. We make the reference merely for the purpose of showing tbe peo pie the kind of retrenchment and reform they may expect at the hands of the Demo cratic party should it ever again come into power. It would be tbe most stupendous "corruption ring" ever inflicted upon the State. The treasury would be rubbed and depleted, and the money squandered and the Lusioesa interests of the State crushed to the earth, and the people made bankrupt. 8nch is ''the tendency of the 'grand moral 1 of the Detuocrucy, as proven by tbe instances above watch them. given. Let the people Article 15th Finally Adopted. Both Houses of the National Legislature have dually adopted the proposed constitu tional amendment. The vote in the Senate stood 39 yeas to 13 nays, and in the House 143 yeas to 43 nayA The bill including the amendment, reads as follows: Be it enacted, fcc. . two third of both Houses concurring. That the following amendment to the Constitution of the Uni tad States be submitted to the Legu-latures ot the several States, and when ratified by three-fourths thereof, it shall be a part of said Constitutt in. Article 15. The right of any citizen of the United States to vote shall not be denied or br'dged by the United States or by any Su e, on account of race, color, or previous conditioDof aervitud , The Legislatures of twenty-eight State must ratify the above before it can become a part of the Constitution. The New Tork Election Frauds. The Committee of the House ot Repre s3Btatives, reviewing the evidence taken in relation to the New York election frauds,re mark that the actual number of illegal, fraudulent, and fictitious naturalizations never cau be known, but including those tent from New York city over the State to persons never appearing in Court, it is prob ably safe to say that fraudulent certificates were issued from these two Courts amoun ting to not les, and probably more, than 68,343. Of the sixty counties in the State of New York, fourteen are Democratic. There it no evidence of the issuing of fraud ulent naturalization certificate by any He publican Court or officer, bat New York city has made ample preparations to supply the Democratio party abundant!, even in tbe Republican counties.- Snow. The fall 'of aaow in Canada this winter has been extraordinary, exceeding by thirty-eight inches any previous snow fall for, twenty years past. - At Montreal the all is estimated at one hundred and eigh teen inches, nearly ten feet, and it was eight feet deep a day or two ago on the streets of that oky. At Quebec tbe Legislature ad journed on Tuesday for lack of a quorum; many of the members being snow-boa od at home or on the way. Conscience Nonit. -Tbe Treasurer of tn unite etatos received a letter on Friday last, postmarked Washingtoo.cootaioing one hundred dollars, which the writer said be Kmsrf to the United Etates. , "The Harrisburg Bobbers." The following paragraph, in which the members ot tbe Peon'a Legislature are des ignated as "robbers," is copied from the last Clearfield Republican. "Had to Surrender. The Harrisburg robbers who attempted, in tbe House ot representatives, to fasten twenty-seven aa ditional 'pasters and folders, upon the Treas ury, have, after six weeks ekirtnishing and bush-whacking, been compelled to surren der and discharge that number of their staff. The 'loil' caucus was too weak to enforce its own decrees against tbe people aod econo my. The 'ring' leader) have been compell ed to eat their own victuals, nauseous and disagreeable as they no doubt are. But they mUSt SO down.

We irill nnh lish these proceedings as soon as the 6ixty one pasters and folders" send the Record along. On the resolution, that "the twenty-seven additional officers, not already discharged by the Chief I lerk, be now relieved and discharged, and that their salary shall run from the time they 6ha!l have been in their respective offices, which salary shall be a pro rata 'share of the salary" fixed by law for such officers, Mr. McCullough, the Dem ocratic member from this county, in the course of some remarks (see Leg. Rec. p. 320) said; "A majority of this House has decided to employ additional officers; thee men have been selected and have come here in good Iaitn, believing that they would be paid, and have been performing their labor as it should be performed. 1, for one, having voted against the appointment ot the twenty-seven, eay that these men who have been employed and have faithfully performed the latior as they have been commanded, should be paid ; aod I shall stand here from this time until next March a year before I will turn these poor men away without the nit i a nee they are iustlv entitled to. I care not whether I am censured by this side of the House or the other side. XT " - . .1 , m now, in view or tnese remarks or sir. McCullough, and of his vote in favor of the salary designated, our invidious and peevuh neighbor treads pretty heavily on the toes ot the Democratic member from Clearfield But this does not concern us. If our neigh Dor trooaiander sees tit to call his party Iriends "robbers," the matter of the truth or falsity of the charge must be settled be tween themselves even should the "nau seous and disagreeable" task create a "rich and racy" scene. Extent of ocb Exports. -The exports from New lork last year, exclusive of spe cie, were valued at $164,000,000, against $186,000,000 in '67. The export of specie and bullion was $7 1,000, 000, or nearly twen ty millions more than the year preceding. and largely in excess of any one of the five previous years. Tha total value of all the. importations, at the same port, was? $234, - 967,701. The total of foreign imports was $551,193,834. of which about $12,000,000 were free goods ; and $81, 000,000 dry goods. the importations of iron were, in pigs $501,704,- in Railroad bars $4.09-t.,5C9, in heot $3,050,943, in tubes $90,544. and in other forms $2,286,213. The railway bars numbered 696,257, which at an average lengfh of thirty feet, would lay over two thousand miles of American railway tracks. this was the importation at New York alone. A Y ager Won. A bot of $25, made at Pittsburg Landing, Tenn., in May, 1862. between Thomas W. Knox and Albert D. ivscnarason was paid recently. Knox at that time offered to bet that no rebel leader would be tried for treason by any high civil or military authority and executed, and Richardson took the bet. If no prominent rebel were caught, the bet was to be drawn. and likewise if one should be caught ard es cape by any other means than formal liber eration. Ihe recent amnesty and the nolle prosequi in the case o 'Jefferson Davis were a knowledge as deciding tbe bet aain-t Richardson, and he has given his check for $25 to the winner nearly seven years after laying the wager. New Issue ofGreenbacks. The trcas ury plate-printing office has nearly ready for printing a new series of the $50 and $100 dollar greenback notes, to take the place of the present new issues, which have been large ly counterfeited. The $100 notes will bear likeness of Mr. Lincoln, with a vignette symbolical of reconstruction ; and tbe $50 notes will bear a likeness of General Grant. ith a vignette symbolical of reconstruction of peace. Decline in the Price of Uoal. The New York Star says : Our rcadeas will be interested in knowing that at the great coal sale yesterday there was an important de- c mo in prices. Stove coal, which is the sixe most used by lami!ies,sold, at wholesale. irom ou uown to ou. ihe same size -old a month aaro for $6 25 to $6 33, and a month before that at something over seven dollars. -The National Banks. Of our Nation al Bank sy.-teua, it is remarked, by the Mer chant's Magazine, that the statistics of the January reports furnish abundant evidence of its stability, and that "it fulfills its de sign of giving us an organized chain of ban king institutions whose soundness and sol vency will compare favorably with those of any other country in the world." A Sm rt Workman. In pegging boots by steam, twenty cases, or 240 pair of boots. are a usual day's work. One man in Hop- kinton, Mass., has pegged eighty-three ca ses, 1,982 boots, in two days.

The new regime promises welL Although Gant keeps his own counsel, enough has been said b; him to assure the public that merit and worth are absolutely essential to an appointment to office. More, he will not hesitate to change his list, with the per mission of the Senate, until he succeeds in securing precisely the sort of men he re quires. At this rate we may safely say that the official patronage will not run in the old grooves. Influence and wire pulling,' when opposed to character and capacity, will be at a discount. Honesty will be recognized in the distribution of patronage, and cor rupt men will bad their occupation gone. The only class of people who are in an agony of suspense are the professional politicians. The National Bank bill now seems likely to fail through the disagreements between the two Houses.' It is not a cause of grief. The army reduction has been tacked on bill that is pretty sure to carry it through to wit, the Army Appropriation bill. Th House Postal Committee have been guilty of disrespect of the dead, by kicking tb defunct carcase of the Postal Telegraph schemes, and Tlte Globe has proved strong er, even in its supposed hour of dissolution than the friends of reform, and has carried a renewal of its contract for printing the debates through the Senate. The copper tariff bill was vetoed by Pres idotit Johnson, last week. Both houses, however, at once passed it by a more than a two-thirds vote. Under the stimulus of the passage by tbe House of Representatives of Mr. Schenck's bill solemnly pledging the faith of the Uni ted States to the payment of the national debt in coin, and of the almost assured concur rence of the Senate in tbe measure.our five twenties advanced yesterday to 81 in Lon don. The quotation, being on the old val uation of $4 44 to the pound sterling, is equal 89 at the present par of exchange in gold, or nearly 120 in currency. The pros pect is that by tbe first of next May our six per cent, bonds will all sell in London at lar in gold, if I hey do not exceed that limit. When this takes place, the problem of re suming specie payments will be greatly sim plitied, since it will be easy to fund our sur plus greenbacks in a long loan at a low rate of interest, and payment of the rest will not be demanded. The members of the House Committee on Foreign Relations in Congress express the belief that the present condition of affairs in Cuba and San Domingo, will lead to a proposition for the annexation of those countries to the Unite I States within the first few months of General's Grant's ad ministration. It is stated that tbe incoming administra tion will revise our foreign policy in several mportant respects. Minister Johnson will he promptly recalled, and when bis success or has been appointed a new proposition for the settlement of the Alabama claims will be made, which will include a dcman-l tor pay of actual damages to our shipping. and idemnity for the loss sustained by Amer lean commerce trom rebel cruisers issuing from English ports, whereby our commerce was driven to Uriiiob bottoms and under foreign flags. The bill affecting the Supreme Court, passed by the Senate, increases the number of judges to nine, making one additional ap pointment necessary, in each ot the nine circuits a judge is created, who shall reside therein and hold the courts. The original jurisdiction of the justices of tbe Supreme Court over the circuits is not impaired. The large extent of the circuits, and the increase ot the business, especially in those embrac ing the Southern State, make the duties of the justices more than ordinarily onerous, so that the assistance provided by the addition al judges will prove timely. But the in crease of tbe chief justices is hardly sustain able, ihe Supreme ISencn should be com pact rather than unwieldy. Had the num ber of chief justices been reduced to five. and the number of circuits increased, each having a jude, the machinery of justice would kave been more complete and work able. Home-made Earthquakes. Science is daily growing more audacious. The engineering feat of springing mines iu the army, which was generally followed with but limited success, pales before the at tevupts to overturn mountains in some of the mineral regions of the West. This in troduction of miniature earthquakes into hills and mountains, by means of tunnels and powJer, is an accomplishment which be- 1 'tigs to the latest science. The Sniartville (CaL) blast, so long in preparation, has been fired, and the resubs singularly coincide with the calculations. A tunnel was bored 570 feet in lengih, in which were placed 1,200 kegs of powder. An electric wire threaded the mazes of the tunnel and tapped each keg. At a distance ot 600 feet stood the battery, connected and charged. After pub lic notice, in pursuance of which the inhab itants of the surrounding valleys left their homes, and ai a stated hour, a romantic young lady applied the lighting. The mountain rose some fifteen leet, burst into atoms, and settled back a pulverized mass. ater will do the rest. It can be washed now from summit to base. Thus man tear. down what nature has built and through science gives us gold. In New York they are enjoying what may be termed a season of swift justice. On Thursday, Feb. 25th, ten burglars were sen tenced to terms of varying length one to ten years, one to seven, one to five, and sev en to three and a halt years each. Of these ten criminals, eight were caught, indicted. tried, convicted, sentenced and incarcerated in less than a week from the time they com mitted the crimes for which they were pun ished.

The Pennsylvania legislature has adjourn ed over to next week, to afford the mem bers the opportunity of attending the inaug uration ceremonies at Washington. , The subject of taxation has occupied not undue share of attention in the State Senate. The bill repealing the act taxing mortages and moneys at interest, was pas sed in that body by a decisive majority.' bill of vastly more importance, toconsoli date all the existing tax lawi of the Com mon wealth, is still under consideration. No changes are proposed to be made, except to collect all the legislation, now scattered through more than fifty volumes, into one compact form, so that plain men may be able to read and comprehend the whole sys tern tor themselves. J. his arrangement was ordered by a resolution of the Legisla ture two years since, and is said to have been very faithfully executed by Secretary Jordan. In the State Senate on Thursday Mr.Wal lace read a bill to make the salary of the State Treasuer five thousand dollars a year and compel him to give a bond of $500. 000 ; requiring him to use the Treasury De partment as the sole place for the deposi and safe keeping of the State's money; to punish emt ezzlement and the use of mon eys, and providing for the rapid payment of the State debt. The Democracy generally is incapable of seeing extravagance when committed by its party friends. The n:ost extravagant propo- it;on of tie present session at Harrisburg was brought forward by Mr. Mc.Miller. of Mont gomery county, who moved to add five hun dred dollars to the pay of each member. which would thereby be increased to fiiteen nunarea aoiiars. I lie additional expense to the Treasury would be sixty-six thousand allars. This most extravagant proposition was voted down. Seventeen of the thirty eight Democrats or nearly one half of the Democrats in the House, voting for it. Of the sixty-two Republicans, only eleven (nearly all from Phil'a) went for it. Had the relative strength of the parties been re versed the proposition would have carried. These facts are never broached by tbe pa pers of that party, neither do they seem to be aware that every measure of extravagance proposed at Harrisburg always finds in the Democratic representatives its most earnest advocates and supporters. Competition with the "Oross-Boads." The New Albany Commercial relates the adventures of a school teacher of that city. a Miss Graham, who was induced to accept the superintendency of a fteeduian's school at Florence, Alabama. Under her manage ment the school became prosperous, popu lar.and consequently exceedingly obnoxious to the Ku-Klux, who called upon MissGra ham one night at her lodgings, knocked at the door, and rm-htd in pell mell, arrayed in tbe Ku Klux uniform, and wearing tbe Ku-Klux mask. The Grand yclops of tbe gang, in the deep sepulchral voices e:ap!oy ed by these scoundrels, at once proceeded to notily Miss Graham that unless she gave up the school and left the town within thir ty-six hours, they would burn the schoi'i house and kill her. "We are Southern peo plo," said the chief of the gang to her. " e are opposed to having those of anoth er race from tbe North to teach us. You must leave this place forthwith." Just at the conclusion of this blood and thunder speech by tbe Grand Cyclops, Miss Graham, who has a keen appreciation of the ridiculous, and discovered it in the situ ation, clothing, and voices of the Ku-Klux ers, broke forth into a laugh, and perfectly discomposed her persecutors. They were forced, however, to admire and acknowledge her bravery, and so apologized for their vis it and slunk out of the house. On the fol lowing day the brave Klan rcpeuted their clemency, and notified theUacher that they would burn the house over her head if she did not leave at once. After counseling with her friends, Miss Graham concluded to leave Florence, and the Klanr had the ex quisite satisfaction of driving a solitary wo man from the field. Alabama at this rate bids fair, with a little more practice, to com pete with Kentucky, and may in time even outrival the "corner." A Bottomless Tit. There is no longer any reason to doubt the existence ot the bottomless pit. They have found one end of it down in Tennessee. A farmer and bis son near Newark, Jefferson county, while following the plow with a merry whistle, suddenly sank into an enormous chasm in the earth. Their ci ies brought some neigh bors to their assistance, when the men were rescued, but the horses sank out of sight. The cavity in which the horseflesh disap peared is circular, twenty feet in diameter, and apparently &n unfathomable ab.ss. The people of Tennessee ppear to be at a loss to account for the opening. We think their wits must have been wool-gathering. It i not long siuce we heard of an enormous snake captured iu that State. What could be more natural than to suppose that thus snakeship made that twenty foot "cavity?" At least this is just as reasonable as the majority of snake and eagle stories Tennes see has contracted to furnish the reading uuiic.

Mr. Buckalew, of the United States Sen ate, said on Wednesday last, that "money bad been raised last fall, sixty thousand dol lars in New York, and eight or ten thousand in Baltimore, and fifty thousand in Philadel phia, to corrupt his own State of Pennsyl vania " "An honest confession is good for the souL" As New York city is hopelessly Democratic, the large amount raised there must have come from the BelmonU, and men with like purses and principles, to carry Pennsylvania for Seymour and Blair. That Baltimore should furnish some ten thousand dollars for the same purpose is not wonder ful, inasmuch as her Secessionists had the success of the Democratic ticket very much at heart. We must own, also, that the con tribution from Philadelphia was very liberal and it seems to have justified the immense activity which excited last summer and fall in the neighborhood of Ninth and Arch Streets. But how was this money spent Of course, we only can guess. It may be imagined, however, that the very large number of "Repeaters," "Dead Rabbits,' and other ruffians sent out to vote at our polls, under the patronage of Sheriff Lyle's deputies, must bave absorbed a very large amount of the New York contribution. Your Five Points and Mackerelville ruffian knows as well how to charge as any man and when he is required to perjure himself for his pay, his reward ought to be liberal Baltimore's ten thousand dollars was little enough for the six or eight hundred "Plug Ugly scoundrels that were sent to Philadel phia to vote in October last. As for the expenditure of fifty thousand dollars, raised in this city, we need not go far to account for their db- position. It must have cost a respectable sum to carry through the tipstave naturalization frauds which were effected in the Supreme Court ana as tne investigations in an ot tne con tested election cases, so far show that many of the rougher set, Philadelphia born, par ticipated in the false personations. Repeat ing and other operations necessary, as Mr. Buckalew says, to corrupt Pennsylvania, we can credit that sum to the means and per sons named. - It was a candid thing in Mr. Buckalew to make the acknowledgment, and yet wc imagine there are members of his own party who will not admire him for his frankness. They will ay, "It was bad enough to lose the $120,000, but that Buck aiew snouia Lave contessed tr.e lact is ex tremely unfortunate. Phila. Inquirer.
