Eighteen of the twenty-four Pennsylva nia Congressmen are lawyers by profession. At the election in Poughkeepsie. New York, on March 7th, the Republican candi date for Mayer was elected, with nine hun dred of a majority. . This is a Republican gain, since i!i2 last ejection for Mayor, of 1,102. One of the readiest ways of discovering how much truth there is in Democratic prating over love of the Constitution, is the untiring endeavor of Democracy to prevent the enactment of all laws, calculated to en force the Constitutional Amendments. Missouri has shown its regard for propri ety by sezing upon the lottery dealers within its limits. The lottery business is making such advances just now, that it will be well if several States shall give their attention to that very progressive class of business men. In Spain the prisons are said to be full of journalists and directors of newspapers hos tile to the Government. The uew King is a thorough Bjurbon, so far as the press is concerned. Shouldn't wonder if he would be "Boui boned" out of Spain, one of these days. It is said of the national debt that 2C1, 355 of it was paid each day during Februa ry ; $10,8i0 every hour in February ; $ 1 Bl every minute in February ; $3 every second in February. This is what an honest col lection of the revenues, faithfully applied, does. New Jersey proposes to make short work of her debts, including the war debt. This is between $3,000,000, and $4,000,000. The Legislature is inclined to assess a direct tax for the immediate payment of this debt. This done, the people will be clear from State taxation. The Uuited States fiigate Worcester has sai!el from Boston, loaded with provisions for the starving French. Very large amvuuU of money and provisions have been donated to the cause, in various parts of the country. All will be needed, and vastly more than will probably be sent. A man in trie Trenton Legislature has offered a resolution iu favor of annexing Staten Island to New Jersey. Whether the island is to Le captured ami absorbed like Alsace, or brought up like Santo Do mingo, is not stated, but it is evident that New Jersey means mischief. The total appropriations of Congress for 1ST2 are $ 163,44 t,6Sl. 62 or ?5,53 549.9S in excess of those for 1S71, which were f 157,851,131. 04. The whole increase can be attributed to the new pension laws, which appropriate nea:ly double that amount, thus showing an actual reduction in the expenses of the departments. The Saints of Utah have no more power j fa;1 lonest elec ion in that State would con to withstand the magnetic attraction of the j sl;,n cheII1 to hopeless defeat. Therefore, yellow gold, than other people. The rich ,l.ev cannot abide the thought of such a placer, said to have been discovered at Og- den, lour miles trom ;alt 1-u.ke Lity. has al- most depopulated that city, and will proba- bly prove more disastrous to the peculiar re- ligion of the Saints, than the United States Courts of law.

Several propositions, looking to the re quirement from lile iusurauce companies of a more adequate deposit for the protection of policy-holders, are before the New York Legislature. The recent failures have giv en this subject considerable interest, and al though one of the exploded companies had a sufficient fund at Albany to reinsure its policies, the other company cannot make its deposit cover more than a fourth of its pol icy liabilities. The Governor of Virginia, on Saturday a-wexk, signed the Dill chartering the Wash ington aud Richmond Railroad Company, and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has now a direct aud continuous line of railway between all important points ou the Southern Atlantic seaboard and the cities of the north and cast, and the south a new outlet for its products. The restrictive and barbarous policy of the south has given way to the enterprise and pluck of one great corporation, aud we may now expect a new era in railroad management in that section. The Philadelphia Press says : When tho great political battle of 1S72 comes to be fought, the Republican party will need a more stirring campaign document than its financial record. A reduction ol the nation al debt of $204,7c4,413 in two years, or at the rate of one hundred millions ncr unnitm, i indeed a glorious exhibit, but it will not prove a strong-enouch weapon with which to couibat the wily Democrrey. We must have something more stirring, more aggres fcive. The man of mere dollars and cents is fct best but a poor creature, and as it is with men so it is with parties. Who shall first sri-it? the keynote to victory a year hence ? ! Hon. H. B. Swoope. - The following article from the Altoona (Democratic) Sun, relating to the efficiency oi the present U. S. District Attorney iu prosecuting offenders aga'mst the laws, ex presses our views so fully, that we transfer it entire to our columns : When the aiioiu went of this gentleman as U. S. Attorney for the Western District wis first announced we took occasion to com mend the selection, and among other things remarked that in the disehargo of his otii cial duties it would be found that he was no respector of persons when it came to dealing with law-breakers; that rich aod poor would fare alike with him ; and that, active parti san as he is, any attempt of a criminal to shield himself from punishment by pleading services rendered to his party, would be fu tile. Mr. Swoope has now held his office for more than a year, sending up more in dictment, trying more cases, convicting more criminals, smd transacting more business in that Court than all his predecessors for the last twenty years combined. And we are glad to announce that an examination of the records show that our predictions have'ieen verified in every particular. Much of the time of this Court has been taken up with prosecutions of art apparently trifling char acter, such js t-hat of distillers, brewers, lager beer, cigar and tobacco venders, for failure to comply with the internal revenue laws, in omitting proper stamps, or to pay special tax, or something of that sort which were all violations of law. and as the law officer of the Government Mr. Swoope but discharged his duty in prosecuting them as fast as they were brought before him in official form. Naturally enough this has made him the victim ol censnre in certain quarters; but with how much justice good citizens of common sonsejyill have no trw ble to decide. And just now t;uito an effort : . : - i.. . i . .1: :...-, fim i the wlAern nart ,f h. StatT At the recent term of this Court at Pittsburgh, several lawyers, having been returaed to the District Attorney, indictments against lliem lor failure to pay the special tax as provided by law. were laid before the grand jury and true bills found in each case. On trial most of them plead guilty, and the others tried and convicted, and all, except one, discharg ed on the payment of a slight tine, costs, &e. The exception was that of S. D. Roth ermal, a member of the bar of Pittsburgh, who, upou being brought before the Court on Friday last, (March 31,) was sentenced to pay the usual penalty, costs, &c. .amount ing in all to forty-three dollars, and lulling to comply with the sentence was sent to jail. And this is the foundation of the attempted raid upon Mr. Swoope. That it will find nosympathizorsamong sensible people there can be no doubt. On the contiary. all sen sible people must commend him tor it. A poor ignorant creature is brought up before the Court and fined fifty or a hundred, or perhaps a thousand dollars for failure to comply with some particular provision of the .-tamp law, and no person beyond the victim and his lauiily is disturbed in the least. Lawyers, however, cannot plead ig norance, and when convicted of violating the law they, above all other men, are the least entitled to svmpathy. If the friends of the lawyers have complaints to make they should complain t.-f tho law, not or those whose sworn duty it is to execute the law. If Mr. Swonpe's example was more gen erally followed it would bo much to the ben etii of the public. Nothing i." more com mon than the belief that the man with plen ty oi' money, or surrounded with influential friends, can escape the penalties of violated law with impunity. That there isabuudant reason for such widespread belief is hut too apparent. There are but few Courts in the Commonwealth whose proceedings do not bear the clearest evidence of this fact, la mentable as it is ; aud if a new start shall be made, after the manner inniiirtirated by the Attorney for the Western I'istriet, and all violators of the law equally and certainlv punished when legally convicted, without regard to their sooi il standing, good citizens will not fail to rejoice and render full credit to the officer to whom it is due. A ''Flanking" Scheme. One of our exchanges says that the de termination of the General Government to rt press illegal voting at all elections whereat Congressmen or oth.T national officers are chosen, has naturally created dismay in the ranks of the New York Democracy.

The lie rah I, remarking upon this bi !, admits that "the last election we had und :r Federal supervis ion was unusually fair and orderly," and adds, "this change of the election time will involve a considerable extra outlay that will not find a satisfactory return iu the absence of Federal supervisors." Contested Elections. A cctemporary says : "We hope that the next Congress will introduce a reform in the matter of allowing money to contestants to seats in that body as lavishly as has been done. The present Congrrss has awarded to contestants not less than $77,050. uot one of whom had the shadow of a title to the seat he claimed. B-.sldes the direct sum above, there was the indirect one of $20,415 to witnesses, making a total of $104,374 passing to parties ho had no legal claims to a dollar. This vic ious liberality tends to encourage contest ants, and, if persisted in, will annually bring the harpies to Washington with a claim to a seat, to be allowed a liberal sum from the Treasury. Such leaks must be stopped. Hon. Thomas A'eott has been elected President of the ITnion Pacific R alroad. No bteter or wiser select ion could have been made. Under his management new life would flow iu the veins of that great corpo ration. It is, however, hardly probable that t ? will accept the honor, inasmuch as his present duties as an officer of the Penn sylvania road are so onerous and laborious.
