' The farce of publishing speeches iu the

' " 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

for he knew that such currency would not
pass even in hell without good endorsers.

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.

mediately released on bail. The poor Ger

Detention, and there he has remained ever
since. The case on Wednesday last was
called for trial in the Court of General Ses

Leary walked off with his political friends,
and the poor German was remanded to pris

Homesteads In Vjjroinia. TLe Vir

Under its provisions a householder can only
dispossess himself of the homestead right

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

amount of greenbacks out. This will deplete
the currency, and result in ruin.

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.
