The loading item of the "other expenses'! we take to be a Democratic city povernmeut. '" What lias become of the old Democratic cry of "Gold for the bondholder, and lags for the plowhol'ler ?' We haven't seen it in circulation for a number of month.. What is it that has drawn the venom for that no ble Democratic formula ? The Philadelphia Prexx says:. They have Copperheads in Spain, too, it seems, Gen eral Prim having jut escaped the fury of an anti-conscription mob in Madrid. For the Lonor of the Old World we are glad to know that the Spanish anti-draft patriots were less successful than tuuirconfrerfers in New York in 1S03. No orphan asyluius were burned, and no Spanish colonels murdered and drag ged through the street.. If Chinamen did not discover the new San Diego gold mines, tovraid which all ( lalilor nia is now rushing, it is certain they were found there in sufficient numbers to excite the jealousy of the amiable American miners, who are reported to have signalized their ad vent into the rich lodes and placers by an indiscriminate murder of the Celestials. Mininghumanity, it would seem, then, is about as atrocious as mining justice. General Butler, says an exchange, has promised a West Point appointment to a colored boy'; Prosser, of Tennessee,, follows suit.anl MeCorniick, of Arizona, announces his intention of appointing an Judian. There is fame in store now for the Congressman who shall offer his cadetship to a woman. Let us have 'Vweet girl graduates with gold en hair" for the brevet second lieutenants of the future, and the delegate from Vi'yoming might with great good grace inaugurate this reform. - . . Rebel sentiments have not died out in Georgia by any means. . Democratic papers of that State say boldly that if their party obtains possession of the Legislature of that State the Fifteenth Amendment will becon. inoperative, and Northern men will be driv en from the State, as is illustrated by the recent outrage at Atlanta. Undo Sam keeps his eye on these semi-refractory Democratic-Rebel children! They had better be have themselves, or they'll get a good spank ing one of these dys. ., Commissioner Delano's efforts to secure a faithful collection of the taxes have already be.:n productive of important results. The receipts upon nearly all articles are larser than thry were last year, and thore has bean a total pain to the revenue of over $19,000, 000". . The Commissioner is now determined t organize an assessment of the income tas which .mall secure its payment ,by all who ore justly liable"to its opera! ion, and prevent the escape of many large capitalists whu havo hitherto succeeded in dodging ihoir respon sibility. ' ( 1 ' The farce of publishing speeches iu the Globe, which were not delivered, continues, in spite of the lesson taught by the Mungen speech on Sumner. Several speeches that were not delivered on the Army Reduction bill are to appear in the Globe as if spoken in th House.- Sucb proceedings would be funny if the public had not to pay far the fan. The speeches for Buncombe re print ed at the national ex Dense instead of at the member or his constituents, and ns far as real publication goes tlid speeches might as well be consigned in manuscript to the bot tom of a trunk as printed in the Congres sional type sepuk-her. The payment of six thousand dollars, equivalent to a year's salary as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, has been vot- pa y iue uouse to iiic wiuow t tiie late JvJwin M. Stanton. Mr. Van Tiump, of Ohio, again objected, and Mr. Mungen, of the same State, made frivolous remarks con demnatory of the allusion in the resolution to 'lhe distinguished services" of the dead Secretary. But the rules were suspended and the resolution adopted. Mr. Munsren will bi fortunate if the caricaturists overlook bis undoubted claims to figure in the very next illustrations of the table of the ded li on and the preternaturally agile as Having no longer thejeight to "wallop a nigger." Kentucky clings tenaciously to the sacred privilege of flogging white men ; for it seems that only in this exhilitating man ner can the exuberant spirits of the chivalry find vent. There is something peculiarly grateful to the Kentucky ear in the screams of the wretched victim as he writhes under the torture of the lash ; and ehall they be deprived of their innocent pastime and de lightful amusement at the bidding of a sick ly sentimentality? Not much! So the Sen ate of the State on Friday a-week rejected a bill which had passed the House for the abolishment of strip as a punishment, and the great Democratic heart of Kentucky ontinues to beat in unison -with the spirit Irf a barbario age, lUftsnranfs -r"" '-"'"' ' " Kipped in the Bad. ; The Senate of the United States, says an exchange ought to exhibit, more wisdom than the House, and io ( no me instances it does so. Forcxample week or so ago, the honse actually passed a measure which would have diminished our Internal Rev enue by one-half during the rest of Grant's administration. We really think the House passed this measure unconscious of what they were doing or of what the full con siliences would be. If not, this honoralls body most have been bought to pass it." The measure we refer to was the bill allowing whisky to be kept in bond for the next three years. For the granting of this inno cent looking privilege, the whisky men ad vanced such plausible ' reasons that nobody in the' House seemed to see any great ob jection to ir, nor, to tell the truth, did the public press raise much outcry against it. Its practical effect, however, would have been to keep, in bond, nearly all the whisky that is manufactured in the country,- for three years ' to come ; during which time there would consequently be precious little whisky tax collected, and by the end of which time, the whisky men hope they could get th tax reduced. ' At a rough es timate, if this bill had become a law, the revenues of the Government would for three years to come, have been diminished by sixty or sevsnty million dollars per ?n num. and there would have been an increase instead of an decrease in the National Debt during that period. The Senate, however, saw this snake in the grass and summarily scotched him, by voting down the House bill and by so doing earned the gratitude of the people. We are not ready for such a sweeping tax reduction just yet, and such reduction as we want we will not take from whisky first, by a good deal. More Annexation. The Pittsburg Dirpatch says: Jt never rairs but it pours. The person who some months ago first con ceived the idea of annexing Canada to the United States, may congratulate himself ou having given birth to one of the strongest manias that has been seen in modern times. For now the annexation fever is at its hight. After Canada, Rupert's Land, St. Domingo. Nova Scotia, and the Fejee Islands, there comes finally poor benighted Liberia from A Trio's golden tands, praying to be incor porated into tho political fabric of the Great Republic, which has done so much for the future of the colored race. A 111 en can methods and ideas seem already to have taken root there. Leading citizens have been holding meetings to discuss the subject of annexation, and an appeal is already re ported to be on its way to Washington stat ing that the only proper allegiance of Libe ria is with the United States, and praying that the starry flag may be throwj around their benighted race. But the Liberian brethren will have to wait. They have our sympathy and our best hopes for their mor al and intellectual growth ; we can even send them missionaries and books, and school fear-hers, but when it comes to an nexation, our Government must proceed cau tiously. At present our annexation com mittee has the greater part of the western continent under consideration. When they get through with that it will be time to talk about Africa. - A Good Movkm ext. Senator Wilson ha? prepared a bill designed to promote the civilision of the Indians and to prepare them (or tun rights and duties of citizenship. The bill contemplates the creation of a board of inspectors for the protection of Indians in amity with the United Suite. They are to be five in number, appointed by the Presi dent, by and with the advice and Client of Senate, the Secretary"bf tho Iuicrior t"i the Commissioner ot Indian Afiairs, the former to bo the President. This board is to have the full and exclusive management of the entire Indian business. At one time an absolute and responsible military admin istration of Indian affairs was probable, but the Piegau massacre changed the predeter minationin this direction. , The effort now is to be rid of the plundering of civilian a gents and possible cold blooded murders by the military. A New Railroad to Clearfield. The" bill incorporating the Clearfield and Buffalo, N. Y. railroad, passed the House last week. The general impression prevails that the terminus of this road is at the Bo rough of Clearfield. The bill, is introduced, requires the Clearfield and Buffalo road to be constructed and opened for public use, within three years, to a "point on the line of the Allegheny Valley Railroad extension in Clearfield county, or other point in said county." Unless the bill, before its final passage, was so amended as to make the ter minus at Clearfield, we fear it will be a long time ere it will be built to this place. Mr. Wallace should sec to this at once. National Banks. Look Out! We learn from a special despatch to the Pit's Lurg Gazette, dated Washington, March 18th, 1870, that 'U. S. District Attorney Swoope. of the Western District of Penn sylvania, has been instructed by the Solic itor of the Treasury, at the instance of Comptroller Hnlburt, to proceed against National Banks, that have taken more than six per cent interest, for a forfeiture of their charters." The National Banks in this "neck of the woods," we presume, will escape this edict of Comptroller Hulburt, but others may not be so fortunate. A Financial Qi'estion. Butler iscon: stantly reminded that the South hare no love for him. A late incident illustrative ofthedeptli of meanness that the unrecon structed resort to will suffice. A new Con federate note was lately sent to Butler, en dorsed on the back, "Pass the bearer at Hell's Gate," and signed "Abraham Lin coln,'' and countersigned "B. F. Butler." The recipient of this delicate favor exam ined it, and remarked thlit the man who sent it had some common sene, at least, for he knew that such currency would not pass even in hell without good endorsers. John Morrisscy's chair is said to be one of the most conspicuous in Congress, because John is never iu it- J 18 r So ! Ax Exchange says : wonders will never cease. The Wyoming jury, where of the better half were ladies, after four days of deliberation upon a simple case of homicide, have actually returned a verdict to the astonished Court. To be sure, it was only reached by the process of exhaustion ; but the alleged impossibility of feminine agreement being achieved, what does it matter that the ladies of the jury were very much fatigued, and doubtless retired to their homes thoroughly disgusted with the ex ercise of at least ne ot the righu they had wrested from tyrannical man. We hope their hardships will not be fatal to the great cause, but that the noisy few will persevere until they are convinced, like their sisters of Wyoming, by actual experience, that our rights include duties, the performing of which is not the sort of sport they bad imagined. What happy fellows those hus bands in Wyoming must be nowtbat their wives have actually been "exhausted " ty one of the most trivial of the labors and responsibilities they so much coveted. The Proposed New Liquor Law. The House has passed a bill submitting to cities, borouglis, and townships at the Octo ber election, the question whether the Court shall grant hotel aid restaurant licenses in said cities, boroughs and townships. If a majority of the voters shall vote in favor of license tho Court will then, under the discre tion now vested in them, grant licences. If however, a majority shall vote against license, then the Court shall have no power to grant licenses in any district so voting. The bill passed the House by the very deci ded vote of 59 yeas to 32 nays. The im pression prevails that it will pass the Senate and receive the signature of the Governor. We should havo preferred to see the bill to begin with, confined to cities and counties the people, in that way, accustomed to pass ing on the question, and at some future time extended to smaller divisions. We fear that there will be a rebound and our temperance frieuds, in the end, will lose all. BonNER AXD Bodesberg. The Hun tingdon Republican says that the bodies of Cohner and Bodenberg were taken out to the place selected for their burial on Wed nesday evening, that Bodcnberg's body was buried but Bohner was propped up in his coffin, a plug of tobacco placed in his mouth, while fiends in human form held a drunken ory around his corpse. The Globe says the two negroes who were appointed to inter the bodies got drunk and lef t their work unfin ished the burial being completed in the morning. This is a terrible commentary on the moral influence of the death penalty. A public execution like that at Hunting don can never produce any good result,aad it would have been better for the sake of morality that the condemned men had been allowed to go free, rather than that Hunt ingdon should have been disgraced by such exhibitions of brutality as was seen Lucie on the day of execution. Decreasing. The decrease in the ratio of beef cat tic to population in this country during the but ten years is said to be 20 percent Iu 1S50, with a population of 31,417,331, we had 25;640,337 neat cattle in the country, while now, with a population of more thau 40,000,000, according to the report of the Department of Agriculture, we have only 21,633,000, showing a net de crease since 1SC0 of more than 4,000,000, animals. In Texas alone since 1S6G the de jrease in cattle has been 414,137, the num ber in the State at this time being only 2, 697.338, to 3,111,475 in 1S66. Tho cause of this is said to be the great increase iu dairy farming, the. milch cows in I860 be ing 34 per cent. ;' but even the ratio of milch cows to population has greatly de crtafeJin fell years, and the number of sheep is said to be It' by one-half that ten ! years ago. . Justice in New York. The New York Sn says : Three months ago Harmon A. Block, a poor German emigrant, was rob bed of 1307 by the Hon. John Lcary, a gentleman commanding some political in fluence. Mr. Leary was arrested, and im mediately released on bail. The poor Ger man was thrown into the dismal House of Detention, and there he has remained ever since. The case on Wednesday last was called for trial in the Court of General Ses sions. But the trial was postponed. Mr. Leary walked off with his political friends, and the poor German was remanded to pris on. Meanwh ile wife and children are starv ing in Hamburg, fs there any city but New York in the United States where a robber is released and his victim sent to prison? Bat it must bo remembered that New York is ruled by the Democracy. . ' 1 T 1 Homesteads In Vjjroinia. TLe Vir ginia House of Delegates has passed a bill in relation to homesteads in that State. Under its provisions a householder can only dispossess himself of the homestead right by solemn relinquishment in the form of a deed, duly recorded in the clerk's office. Tho Fredericksburg Herald says: "It is estimated there are ono hundred thousand persons iu the State who will be eutitled to the piivilegesof the act that is, that num ber possessed now of homesteads of the value of two thousand dollars- or more. If this number shall claim the exemption, then the State will have property of the value of $200.00;,000 withdrawn from the chan- nals of commerce and not - subject to the laws of trade." Canada, it is said, is keeping open house in Washington, and has a strong lobby in attendance, in the hope ot renewing the reciprocity treaty. Considerable sums of money, it is alledgcj, bave already been ex pended in this way ; but so far as can be seen theso persuasive iuflueuces have as yet had but little effect towards accomplish ing the object the lobby have in view. Re eiprocity is as far as ever from a resurrection.

Aleora has offered a reward ol '.wenty five thousand dollars for kis capiure. The Press asks : Can we resume specie payments? If so, is it politic to force such resumption by legislation ? These are ques tions which positive and instant resumption ists have not yet answered satisfactorily. There are few who do not favor resumption. It is a "consummation devoutly to be wish ed." but the declino in gold for the last few weeks has brought more than ever into prom inence the possibility and policy of natural resumption. Lot gold seek the currency level, and then, whether we have coin or not, we shall have resumed. The metal cir culation will then become auxiliary to the currency circulation, and the $700,000,000 now extant, which is declared to be insuffi cient for business purposes, will be augmen ted to $900.000,000 a sufficiency for all business purposes. Force gold at a premi um into circulation and you but force a like amount of greenbacks out. This will deplete the currency, and result in ruin. The New York Sun pays the following compliment to Senator Scott of our State : 'Senator Scott, of Pennsylvania, imported into the recent debate in the Senate on the Funding bill something extremely rare and much wanted in that body, namely, genu ine finarcial ability and a thorough knowl edge of his subject. It is refreshing to li.-ten to a man ho brings to the discussion of the topic lie treats, knowledge and infor mation which fpring from an intimate ac quaintance with it, both practical and the oretical. It is comforting to know also that we still have material in the country out of which to make first-class finance ministers, it we but knew where to look for it." Folly Rewarded. The mad votaries of fashion sometimes pay dearly for their folly. Here, for instance, was a woman up in .Lan caster, who read in the papers inat it was la.-,hionable to powder the hair for parties ; so she loaded up her chignon and her side- puffs with a half pound ot gunpowder. She looked well, that woman did; but during the evening the happened to bend over a drop-light, and there was just one energetic and vigorous "siz 1" Perhaps that woiaan isn't disgusted and mortified, and sick of stylo and Paris modes; and perhaps she isn't anxious to purchase a symmetrical wig and to construct a pair of artificial eyebrows! A bill is pending in the State Senate, introduced by Mr. Findlay.of Somerset.obli ging railroad companies to open their ticket offices one hour before the departure of each train. Under present arrangements, ticket offices, in many cases, are not opened until within a few minutes of the train time and passengers are put to great inconvenien ces. The offices are surrounded with impa tient crowds an.l "confusion worse confoun ded" reigns. Even the ticket agents are annoyed by the hurry and flurry, and often make mistakes in consequence. Mr. Find lay's bill is designed to prevent this. ALTHorcit it ha3 been twenty years since Professor Webster was hong for the murder of Dr. Pi'.rkman, the fact has never been published that just before tho execution the jailor was offered one thousand dollars, cash in band, for the head ot the dead man. The then jailor (who is now connected with ths clerical department of the Massachusetts State const:ibular3-) spurned the offer. A certain doctor attached to a New York city medical institution wanted the head. Two of the three leading Catholic pow ers of Europe Fraoce and Spain commit themselves in opnosit ion to the dogma of Papal infallibility. The third, Austria, scarcely renders even a lukewarm support to the pretentions of Rome. As for Italy, its King has always stoutly opposed the assumptions of the Vatican. The situatiou of the Church will become a critical one, if this issue ehail be forced upon and through the Council. The Republican party of Maryland, in view of the Fifteenth Amendment, are be coming very active in organizing and pre paring for the next political contest. The colored people, of whom there are forty I thousand voters in the State, are likewise mo y in solid phalanx. Not less than twenty jh-insand white people will likely join the RepnSUcans, believing thtirs the stronsest side. wi.- Mtherto voted with the Democrats. The Intelligence from Madrid is impor tant. For the first time we have intimations .i . . t? - i - - ""'""" ""s "f"' vv of abandoning the Island of Cuba to the United States. A fierce controversy is in progress over the best means of disposing of the question, but the proposition to give up the island, which is advocated boldly Ly some of tbe journals-, is opposed by a majority of the press as cowardly and unpatriotic. Rigid enforcement of the revenue laws, and honest accounting for the revenues, raise the receipts for the month of March above the average. The sharks that fat tened on the Johnson Administration, de pleted the treasury, robbed the people, and corrupted society, have died the death they deserved, and given place to men who have some respect for common honesty. The Paris Opinume Rationale, of the 18th, has - a remarkable editorial. It de mands the withdrawal of the troops f ram Rome, the renunciation of the concordat, and suppression of the budget for public worship, and declares that should these measures be carried out, nothing will be left in Rome but imbecility and fraud. So many Democrats have been calling up on Senator Revels, to ask favors, that the distinguished African has been obliged to instruct tbe doorkeepers not to deliver the cards of any visitors to him during the ses sions of the Senate, as he does not wish to be disturbed in the consideration of public business. Bully for Revels. The Legislature of Maryland inclines to provide by law for the registration of the colored voters of that State, under tha fif teenth article. They wisely think that since this extension of (he franchise cannot be prevented, it will be better to recognize it under the laws, and through the proper officers of the State itself.
