It is Mid that there are but two members
of the Virginia Legislature, who cannot
take the oath of the new law.

One of the best papers in the state The

Mich of our readers as want a lire and in
teresting daily paper.
SenVor ffprajrue, ff Rhode Island is
oproed to the ratilk'titiors of the fifteenth
amendment. Certainly; a "nigsers" vote
would contaminate his millions of gold.
The news from Atlanta of the election of
Mr. MeWhorter as Speaker of the House of
Representatives of the Legislature of Geor
gia indicates a gratifying Republican tri
umph. Brick Poniroy denies that he ever borrow
ed only $2.70 front a wsgro printer which
he forpnt to pay. "If it was anything, it was
more.'' That's light. Brick, ccknowied.se the
"chango," but make it a respectable s-um
and then refund it to the "nipper.""
Senator Hamlin, the venerable ex Vice
President, was importuned by some of his
friends to frank their letters. The Senator
took the letters, affixed postage stamps upon
them all and blandly returned then) to the
writers. We presume the writers would feci
a little ''cheap" about that time.
The fleet, conveying the remains of Mr.
Peabody to thiscountry.arrivcd at Portland,
Maine, on the evening of the 5 tit of Jan
uary. The remains lay in state at City Hal
un till Tuesday (yesterday) from where they
were conveyed to their final resting place,
followed by an immense concourse of peo
ple. The agents of Queen Isabella are said to
be at work in Cuba stimulating the rebellion
in the hope of advancing her own chances
in Spain. This it is maintained is a new
peril for that country; but it is not probable
that the expelled and disreputable ex Queen
will be able to effect much cither for Cuba
or herself.
The approaching census.it is said, will show
8 frightful dacline in the rural districts of
New England. The decrease of population
in the country towns of New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island
is startling. The war made a deedlj breach
in the rural population, and since its close
there has been a general exodus to the cheap
la tids of the south and west.
The Washington Chronicle makes the
startling statemcut that the agitation of the
question of removing the Capitol "has al
ready cost the people of Washington not
less than 812,500,000 within a year in the
depreciation of real estate." And tbe thing
is running on, it says, wit bout any certainty
wheu it wiil 3top. SueU agony ought to
cause the Wot to ahut up.
It is with more thantmlinary interest that
we see Virginia cross the threshold of the
Union and watch her course as she again
prepares to catch step in the column of the
States. Her future depends largely on the
use bhe makes of this hour, and her future
and that of the whole country are insep
arably bound together. The body politic of
the nation cannot grow in perfect health
and vigor with any diseased member.
Confirmed. It gives us pleasure to an
nounce, that the ai pointment of II. Bu
pjxer Swoope, Esq., as U. S. District- At
torney for the Western District ofl'enu'a.
was duly eourun;dby the U. S. Senate, on
Monday January, 24th. In this connection
it may be well enough to mention, that it
is not Mr. Svroope's intention to remove
from this place, and that hU appointment
will in no wise interfere with his legal bu
siness here.
A Roman wit has discovered the habits of
alt the Western Bishops at the Ecumenical.
Thjfl ftigiUh are always taking out some
thing to eat; the American Bishops are re
tiring to smoke; the French Bishops are
fussing about and. talking; tbe Spanish
Bishops ore io little groups, talkiug their
own politic?; the Germans arc silent aud do
ing nothing. The Italians, if we may con
clude from the example ot the wit himself,
are making their observations.
A Memp&i paper says that "an anxious
looking chap ktragg!ed into the Mayors ot
fioe the other day aod iked permission to
J.iok at tle bfiok in whiuh the jiames of can
didates for ofBuare entered." "Mutt office
re y oo running for, e-ir?" To which i lie
other repliad, "Wall, I dunno; thought
I'd look over and fO lor any vacancy that
might turn up. I'm beastly fond of orfis."
There are a goodly number of jut such
patriotic gentleman to be found everywhere.
Oar reference to the "bargain and sale"
between certain disaffected Republicans and
jtht Democracy in the Legislature, two
week since, afforded our neighbor the op
portunist, last week, of indulging in a little
prevarieation for the purpose of placing us
in a false position on the subject of Legists
five corruption. But as his object will fail
with all intelligent and regular readers of the
.Journal, who know our position on that sub
ject, it unnecessary to make any cxplana-
Our Country's Progress.
Among nations, the United States is one
of wonder and envy, if not of admiration.
The offspring of persecution, weak and
dwarfed in her infancy, she has, in less than
a hundred years, grown to be the most gi
gantic aud powerful on the face of the globe.
In material, intellectual and moral progress,
in discoveries and inventions, she has made
unexampled advances. By means of the
electric telegraph, we are in daily communi
cation with "the ends of the earth," so that
by the vesper lamp we can read what has
been transpiring on the morning of the same
day in London, Paris, and other cities of
the Old World. Since the completion of
the Pacific Railway, the continent can be
crossed iu six days, a shorter period of time
than was required, a quarter of a century
ago, to travel from one cud of the State ot
Pennsylvania to the other. Of machinery
lor the workshop and the farm, she has pro
duced such an endless variety that "labor,"
as experienced by our grandfathers, exirts
only in the imagination; and the moans of
supply are adequate to the most extraordi
nary demand for products of every descrip
tion. The land is dotted over with school
houses, colleges at d churches ; aud religious
opiuions are tolerated to an extent never be
fore known.
Whilst we haverea?on to be proud of the
progress we have made in the arts and sci
ences and intellectual attainments, we like
wise congratulate ourselves upon the great
advancement we have experienced in cross
ing safely over the "Red Sea" of slavery,
and wiping out an institution that was a
shame and a reproach to tbe Nation. Ten
years ago, the most enthu-iastic and hopeful
"abolitionist" did not dream that the year
1870 would see the four millions boudsnien
of the c?outh cnioying the advantages of lib
erty, urn. h less that the emancipated slave
should be exercising the right of suffrage
and taking part in making and administer
ing the laws. Such, however, is the fact;
nnd our example and influence are being felt
all over the habitable globe, wherever civil
ization and intelligence have a foothold at
ail. In Germany, Italy, Spain, France, and
even in England, the liberalized aspirations
of the people are developing and gradually
encroaching upon royal assumptions, until
the heads of the mightiest monarchies fee)
themselves constrained to join in offeusive
and defensive alliances. And, if wc do not
misinterpret the signsof the times, not many
years will pass before the decree will go forth
against some of the latter-day Kings as it
did against Belshazzer of old: ''God bath
numbered thy kingdom, and finished it !"
In the mean time the United States will con
tinue to push forward in the career of great
ness and glory which has been allotted to
her by irrevocable destiny.
Notes Prom Harrisburg.
The Pennsylvania State Senate, last week,
voted to continue the publication of the
Legislative Record, but the project was
killed in the House. A journal of the pro
ceedings, however, is to be published, in ac
cordance to a provision in the Constitution,
Latin what IVn." ha llot been decided as
yet.
The returns, filed with the Secretary of
the Commonwealth elect Senator Watt by
a clear majority of one hundred and seventy
five. More than that, it is said that Watt's
counsel will undoubtedly be able to show
that Diamond received over five hundred
fraudulent votes.
The Harrisburg Telegraph, of the 23d..
says: "Txisr night the committee on the
case of Watt and Diamond met to vote on
the motion of Watt's counsel to quash the
petition of Diamond. This vote was of vi
tal importance. Quashing the petition at
once ended the case. Yesterday morning
the Democratic members of the Legislature
held a caucus and decided to support the
new county project of Morrow B. Lowry,
solid, as a party. Lowry, it is alleged, owns
a largfe amount of real estate at Titusville.
Titusville is to be the new county seat. The
building of coutt house, jail, &c, at public
cost, will enchancc the value of property
there very largely. Lowry went against
quasing the petition of Diamond ! Will any
gentleman be kind enough to put that and
that togethei ?"
The latest reform measure reported from
Hanisburg is an order from the Speaker of
the House excluding from the floor all but
those entitled to official privileges. Uuder
this rule the lobby will no longer be permit
ted to invade the territory which docs not
belong to them. For years its members have
overrun the floor of the House, seriously in
terrupting the legitimate buiiuess of the
legislature. Pending the vote on impor
tant bills they have been seen rushing from
seat to seat, with brazen effrontery, often
loudly expostulating with members in regard
to their course. At ail hours l hey were in
terfering with the clerks, and demanding
more of the attention of the messengers and
pages than the members themselves. One
of the most impudent of the class has been
heard to exclaim, in encouraging tones, du
ring the call of the roll, "Tnat's right.
Smith," in token of his approval of the vote
of the member, or to shout, "That's wrong,
Jonas," when the announcement of a vote
gave him displeasure. The strict enforce
ment of the rules of the House will prevent
a repetition of these disgraceful scenes.
A bill has been introduced into the State
Senate for the abolishing of the death pen
alty. A resolution was offered in the Senate in
structing "The Committee on Judiciary to
inquire if any additional judges are required
for the Supreme Court of tbe Common
weabh." The business of tbe Supreme
Court having greatly increased, there is lit
tle doubt that additional judges are required
to facilitate the business of the Court, and
hence there is a probability of the passage of
a law authorizing such increase.
The question of erecting a new county in
the oil regions, was before the Senate, but
no decision was reached. Titusville U the
proposed new county scat.
A bill to provide for the calling of a con
vention to amend the Constitution of this

Among other religious movements for
which the year 1870 promises to be noted,
must be included its celebration as the cen
tenary yrar of Universalis as a distinct de
nomination of the Christian faith in Ameri
ca. In the vote on the fifteenth (neero suf
frage) amendment in the Rhode Island leg
islature, the Providence Journal says that
two or three Democrats voted for the a

against it.

The foreign bankers of Wall street who
pay no tax on the millions of dollars they use
are yet tj receive the attention of ex Asses
sor Webster. August Belmont, who is a
representative member of that class, lends,
it is said, millions of Rothschild's gold at
high rates of interest, but never pays the
tax on capital in ue. The revenue from
this source alone will amount to millions of
dollars a year.
Governor Campbell, of Wyoming, must
be an exceptionabiy niodest man. After
going so far as to subscribe his Gubernato
rial signature to the act enabling women to
vote, lie declined to snter the chamber in
which the National Women's Suffrage Con
vention is now sitting in Washington. With
such an opportunity to receive female idoli
zation, it is truly surprising that the gallant
Campbell should have kept in the back
ground. It is proposed in Washington to make the
Government officials, who are responsible
for the furniture used in the Capitol and
Government Depart sients, to give bonds for
tbe proper use and safety ot the same. The
Government spends an enormous sum for
furniture, and there is great extravagance
in the care of the ame. On a smaller scale
the same kind of dishonesty has hitherto
prevailed at Harrisburg, especially in strip
ping the halls of the Senate and House, at
the close ot the sossioti, of 'every variety of
portable property.
An exchange say?: We have news from
London that a movement is on foot for ag
itating the question of the annexation of
England and all its American provinces to
the United States. Posters to that effect
are said to be numerously distributed
throughout the British metropolis. We
feel obliged to protest against this whole
sale measure of annexation. We may pos
sibly afford to take in Mexico, Central
America, St. Domingo.St. Thomas, British
Columbia, the Winnepeg district, all the
Canadas and perhaps even Ireland, but we
can hardly venture, with due regard to the
health of the Great Republic, to swallow at
one mouthful the whole British Empire and
half the West India islands. Save us from
such an over dose.
A Philadelphia cotemparary scouts the idea
which some timid persons have come to en
tertain, that the country is on the eve of
bankruptcy in trade. He says: Trade, for
the last half year, has not shown that bustle
which we have sometime witnessed, and
many articles of produce are certainly lower.
But inquiry among individuals has left the
impression on our mind that the markets
have been moderately active in nearly all
commercial departments, and that the ag
gregate amount of business in the channels
of legitimate trade-is now, probably, as largo
3usq:il at this stage of the season, but
there is much less speculative animation,
and prices of most descriptions of merchan
disc show a decline from the earlier rates."
The earnings of the Union Pacific Rail
road for 1869, not including receipts from
the sale of lands, were $S,I2i,287,04. To

includes buildings, improvements and taxes.
The gross earnings for December were $781,

of $12!),5.V.),40. Expenses for the mouth

A bill providing for the disposal of the
unexpended balances in the State Treasury,
is an important measure, now lefore
the legislature. It provides that deposito
ries shall be established and the money loan
ed at interest the depositories giving suffi
cient security' for the faithful performance of
the trust confided to them.
The Treasury investigation drags along
slowly. The Senate committee met, but ad
journed without any action, although Treas
urer Mackey was present and ready and will

propounded.
