" The resignation of a Democratic member
of tlie Assembly of New York State, leaves
that body a tie, and enables the Republicans
to prevent all infamous partisan legislation.
The House, on Thursday last, agreed to
the Senate amendment to the duScieney
bill repealing the act requiring ..each new
Congress to organize on the 4th of March,
and thus the "third session" is abolished.
We observe that eome of our Democratic
exchanges are publishing entire trie speech
of Charles Sumner on the San Domingo
question. It is about as cheap political
capital as we can imagine, but serves to il
lustrate how destitute of material the op
position is to make war on the administra
ti n of President Grant.
If confirmed, the report of the purpose
of a large portion of the population of Ai
6ace and Lorraine to emigrate to this coun
try is very important. The people of tbe.se
provinces were the most thrifty and pro
vident of any in France. Their settlement
in this country will insure a thrifty and in
dustrious population, wherever they may
locate. '
Governor Reed, of Florida, in a letter de
tailing advantageous results proceeding from
the abolition of slavery in the south, says
that in Florida the increase in wealth and
population, during the three years ot Re
publican government just past, has been
unparalleled in her previous history. Her
increase in population has been at least fifty
per cent., and in industrial resources more
than two hundred per cent
The German peace celebrations, in vari
ous parts of the country, in honor of peace
between France and Germany, as well as of
the unification of the German Empire, were
very successful and in many places quite
imposing affairs. These jubilees command
the readiest sympathy of the American peo
ple. Peace and unity arc watchwords that
are worthy any people, and their realization
in the fatherland is a glorious event.
The discovery of gold and silver in the
vicinity of Salt Lake, has created a wonder
ful furore in the City of the Saints. Brig
ham Young is not particularly pleased, but
cannot prevent the influx of Gentiles by
hundreds and thousands. The Mormons
are pre-empting the land in and around
Salt Lake City, and hope by this means to
prevent the Gentiles from making innova
tions into their customs and religion. But
we mistake if the day of polygamy is not
about ended.
In Sotuh America the Governments of
Brazil, the Argentine Republic aud Urugii
guay, which were confederated loireiher
aeainst Lopez and Paraguay, have resolved
to divide the last named country between
them. In anticipation of this, President
Riverola of Paraguay has sent Dr. Stewart,
an English resident of Assumption, to the
pnited States, to ask aid from Gen. Grant's
administration, in maintaining the integrity
of bis country. Thi? is a useless mi-sion.
Brazil and Buenos Ayres may cut up Para
guay as much as they like, without any dan
ger of interference on the part of the Uui
ted States.
As the election returns from Connecticut
day after day reach us, we foc evidences of
Tammany working for English. An error
in the count for Governor's vote has been
discovered in the Fourth ward. New Haven
giving English one hundred more votes than
were actually polled for him. Nor will it
surprise our readers that, while it is assert
ed to be so clear a case of fraud that even
English will decline making any contestover
it, it is said not to have been the first time
that such a fraud has occurred in that sarpr!
ward. If the facts set forth are true, it
will give Jewell the election without throw
ing the question into the Legislature at all.
The strength of revenue reform in the
House was most thoroughly tested on Mon
day a-week. On that day Mr. Cox's reso
lution, (introduced by Mr. Parker, Demo
crat, from New Hampshire) declaring that
the tariff should be so reformed as to be a
tax for revenue only, came up. Instead of
being able to rass the resolution, it wr re
ferred to the Commttecon Ways and Means
by a vote of 93 yeas to 77 nays. While on
the other hand Mr. Keliey's resolution, re
affirming the opinion of the last House
abolishing the inquisitorial revenue system
at as early a day as practicable, was passed
by a vote of 130 yeas to 21 nays. Mr. Cox
tried to bring odium ou the resolution by
calling it "a pig iron proposition," but only
20 votes endorsed his position.
It js with pleasure that wo notice the
economical conduct of a Government offi
cial. Mr. French has just completed the
second year pf his administration as Ser-geaut-at-Arms
of the United States Senate.
His expenditures for the past year arc set
down at $CS,630 43 against the expenditure
ot his predecessor, which was $154,224 6S,
Wing a net annua! saving of $S5:M4 20, a
sum in excess of the present total expendi
ture. This is only one, though a very prom
inent one of the savings effected in the pub
lic expenditures by Republican officers. A
similar line of policy seems to be emulated
in various public department we could
mention, and we have but little doubt that
the people will appreciate every effort that
is being niH.le to reduce their burdens.
To Prevent Log Floating'.
The following bill (.No 1325) is on the file
of the House of Representatives at Harris
burg, and was read before that body on
March 27th, 1871 :
An Act
To prevent the obstruction of the channel
ot the West Branch of the Susquehanna
river, Chest creek, or any of the naviga
ble tributaries of said streams within the
counties of Cambria, Clearfield and Indi
ana, above the mouth ot Anderson's creek
in Clearfield county :
Sec. 1 Be it rna;teJ, etc.. That from and
after the passage of this act. any person or
persons who shall cut, fell, throw, place, or
cause to be cur, felled, thrown or placed, in
the channel or below hijrh w:str mark, on
the margin of the West Branch of the Sus
quehanna river, (Jheft creek, or any of the
navigable tributaries of said streams, which
has been declared by law to be a public
hiphwsy in the counties of Cambria, Clear
field and Indiana, and above the mouth of
Anderson's creek in Clearfield county, any
tree, sapling, log, or piece of lumber, or
floating materi-il of timber kind, with the
intent to float the same or to obstruct the
navigation of (lie said streams, or any of
the navigable tributaries thereof, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon convic
tion thereof shall pay a fine of not less than
one hundred nor more than ore thousand
dollars at the discretion of the court ; Pro
rileil. That nothing in this act shall be con
strued to prevent persons from putting in
squared, sawed, or any other kind of manu
factured lumber, for the purpose of run
nine the same to market, or for other law
ful purposes.
Sec. 2. All acts or parts of acts inconsis
tent herewith be and the same are hereby
repealed.
Is there not a "snrtke" in this bill, so
covered up as to corneal it3 true character?
A careful perusal must satisfy all, that the
paramount and only object of the bill is to
prevent the floating of logs in the Susque
hanna and its tributaries above the mouth
of Anderson's creek. Now, as there are
large bodies of timber on the upper tribu
taries of the Susquehanna that can not be
got to market except in round logs floated
out during the spring freshets, would it be
policy to pass such a law ? Would its pass
age not be a rather arbitrary act of legisla
tion ? Would it not prevent the develop
ment of that section of our county in which
it would be operative? Would it not pre
vent many men from petting their timber
into market and thus depreciate the value
of all lands and property above the objec
tive point ? Would it not just as effectually
prevent men in Cle irfield county from float
ing logs to their mills within the county, as
those who own mills outside of the county?
Could not the log interest with equal pro
priety ask the passage of a bill to prohibit
the floating of square timber and boards on
the Susquehanna? ,
Whatever may have been the object of
the originators of the bill, it is to be feared
that it is fraught with evil consequences, as
it equally affects residents and non -residents.
Would it be just to prevent the owner of a
saw mill in Clearfield county, who owns
timber land above the mouth of Anderson's
creek, from going on to that land and cut
ting logs and floating them to his saw mill?
Do the people of Clearfield county desire
the passage of a law that will prevent then?
from using their property to their own pe
cuniary advantage? If not, then they
should be up and doing to prevent the pass
age of this bill. "A word to the wise is
sufficient."
Worth Eemembering.
The Republican House of Representa
tive, at. Harrisburg, passed the annual ap
propriation bill now neatly a month ago. as
well as several other public measures of im
portance before and since, together wiih
nearly a thousand private bill, none of which
have as yet been acted ou by the Democratic
Senate.
The committee of the Senate to which
the appropriation bill was referred has hold
no meeting, made no report, and manifests
no intention of doing either within any defi
nite timri.
An infamous apportionment was passed
by the Senate, and amended by the House.
The conference committee appointed by the
two houses has tailed to come to any agree
ment, although the Republicans arc anxious
and willing to make concessions. The Dem
ocrats were unwilling to give us even one
majority in the Senate, and there are no
prospects of any agreement being reached.
In view of the facts here enumerated, it is
said that, the Republican members of the
H'.ue have determined to take no action
upon any more bills, -until the Senate dis
poses of those already passed by the House.
Every day that the present Legislature
continues in session, thousands of doliars
are added to the expenditures of the State,
to the detriment of otw finances.
Let the people ponder the facts, and
place the responsibility upon the guilty au
thor? the Democratic leaders in our State
Senate.
The Boston Post, with more honesty than
its Democratic cotemporaries, confesses de
feat in Connecticut. It says: "To say that
we are not surprised at the result of the
Cimuneclicut election would be to disguise
the real fact. We had supposed that the
State was sure for Governor English and
that we would at least divide the Congress
ional delegation with the Radicals, making
again of one member. But the returns how
that upon the largest poll ever given, the
Radi.al State ticket is elected by less than
fifty majority, and the Congressional delega
tion stands the same as in the last House."
A communication in a Charleston paper,
signed "One hundred men who fousht un.
der Lee,"savs: "If the people of the
north aie prepared to destroy their com
merce, their finance, their trade, and expend
their bloid to sustain these thieves and
scoundrels in oppressing their fellow-citizens
of the south, by the gods of war they shall
have a chance of it!" A-bem ! Going to
rebel again, eh ?
The Montgomery (Ala.) J,,,7 says that
the known opposition to the nf
gro suffrage on the part of the northern
l'emocracy was the strongest ligament that
bound the south to that organization. r,A
that it feels it to be its duty to warn the
leaders of that party everywhere against
the danger they will incur by cutting that
ligament in twain.
The Administration the Republican Party.
The good works of the Administration
the policy of the Republican party--the ne
cessity of preserving its unity for the gene
ral welfare of the country, are well set forth
in a late number of the N. Y. Standard.
It says: However much sections of the Re
publican party may differ among themselves
as to the best mean of putting down the
outrages in certain portionsof the Southern
States, or as to the expediency of the pres
ent annexation of San Domingo, there is a
leaven that will con'inue to keep them to
gether as a great national party. Its whole
policy has been founded upon national ideas,
and it has in practice carried them out It
is this policy which so materially distinguish
es it from the Democratic party, whose pol
cy has been based upon sectionalism,
which was the cancer that eat into and de
stroyed it. In the days of slavery and Dem
ocratic rule not only was there a wide and
sectional breach existing between the North
and the South, but the spirit of liberality
and intolerance sprung up in different States
and localities, and between their inhabitants
which emanated from causes of which sla
very was the remote one. The basis of the
Republican party has been its national char
acter, and ample proof was afforded of this
when the sword was raised for the destruc
tion of the Union. The vitality of the par
ty was then more than ordinarily manifest.
Its spirit and power were then seen combin
ed for the pieservation of the nation. What
other party what party unless imbued with
this spirit could have carried the country
through that trying period, not only in the
face of domestic foes, but of the enmity and
jealousy of foreign nations. Has the Re
publican party forfeited the confidence of
the people since the termination of that san
guinary strife? If it be alleged that it has,
we ask in what way? Has it not placed
this country higher in the eyes of foreign
powers than ever it stood before ? Has not
the firm and decided policy ot its ministerial
officers placed our claims before England in
such an unmistakable manner as to induce
that proud nation not only to regard them,
hut to become so anxious for a settlement
that it sent -us a commission to arrange the
terms? Has it not secured to us that
peace and repose which was so much needed
after a long and bitter domestic contest?
And has it not been successful in reducing
the enormous debt then necessarily incurred?
Upon this latter point the New York Times
very truthfully described this part of the
policy of the Government :
President Grant's administration opens
the third year of its term with a reduction
for the month ot the national debt of f 11,
011,250 6. This is abo.ut two millions in
excess ot the average monthly reducti on of
last year, and nearly double the amount of
reduction effected in March 1870. It brings
the total decrease since the advent to power
ot the present Administration to $215,705,
CG3 74, and leaves us the total ol interest
and principal of our public debt of $2,4.34,
07C,643 05. Taking the basis of our pop
illation at thirty-nine millions, this gives us
a proportion of $62.4 per head as the meas
ure of our national obligations. In England
the existing proportion is about $123 per
head, and in 1560 our own was over $100.
Now, these are facts and figures, and as
it is not possible for either to lie, so the pol
icy wl. it'll has fF.fl ihim mnll eanno 1,-
It is not a false policy, but a true one ; and
in pursuiug it the Republican party has
shown itself true to the people and their in
terests. Let not the Republicans sacrifice the great
national interests of the country, in the
promotion of which every individual is more
or less personally interested, to minor squab
bles and petty quarrels. If they do they
may repent it when it may be too late. Re
pentance may be too late when sectional an
imosities arc attain kindled which, extend
ing over the whole country, may rend us as
sunder,and consummate that terrible"break
ing up" so frequently predicted by foreign
writers and ardent foes. We r!o not believe
that the great mass of the people will turn
recreant to the party of the nation, because
it is loyal to the general interest of the
country.
Change of Base.
The importance of the negro element in
the politics of the country is beginning to
be properly estimated by some of the more
enlightened leaders of the Democratic party.
As an illustration of the fact, we need only
refer to the remarks made the other day in
Congress, by Fernando Vi'ood, which, wheth
er they were uttered in sinceiitj or not, show
a disposition on the part of the Democrats
to smother their long-cherished prejudices,
aud enter the field as, contestants for negro
suffrage. Mr. Wood said :
"The Democratic party has no desire to
interfere with those amendments to the
Constitution which gives free and equal suf
frage to all the people of the United States.
The Democratic party would give to the
colored race all the political and civil rights
which they would give to any other class of
people. . . . The day is speedily com
ing, and I hope has already come, when
the colored race of the United States will
assume their position in the country as free
and independent voters ; that they may be
allowed to judge of men, and parties, and
principles for themselves; that they may
find among their own class able and patriotic
leaders, who will say to them: 'Be no lon
ger the instruments of demagogues.' I be
lieve that among the colored men are found
those who are patriotic, honest and ra
tional." The exodus of working miners from
Cornwall is still in progress, and has a 'ready
produced a scarcity of hands to work the
famed lead mines of that region. Most of
tha reliable workingman leaving England
are accustomed to labor in mines of nietnl
and are attracted to our shores by the rich
ness of the metalic deposits, better compen
sation, and tl a higher estimation in wL'ch
labor is held. What the Cornish mine own
ers complain of most bitterly is that the
new wave of emigration is sweeping from
them their most skilful and reliable work
men, while the class whom they could bet
ter spare stubbornly remain.

The Joint Commission. If the latest
news from Washington on the subject is re
liable, the Joint High Commission bas been
more thorough in its work than has gener
ally been supposed. It is said to have
agreed upon a basis of principles for the ad

the question of the Canadian fisheries is to
be sett'ed by the payment of a sum of mon
ey from the United States to Canada, in
consideration of which the waters of the
Dominion are to be opened to American
fishermen, and the coast is to be free to
them for cleansing their nets and curing
their fish. Contrary to the public impres
sion, it is the question of the San Juan
boundry which has most occupied the time
and attention of the Commission ; but this
is also virtually disposed of, and the work
of the Commission is in such a state of for
wardness, that they hope to present the two
Governments a protocol of the proposed
convention by the first of May. Whatever
may be the conclusion arrived at, they will
probably be unsatisfactory to the more san

Loss of Fractional Currency. Out
of the $20,000,000 of fractional currency
issued in 1862, it is believed not much less
than $4,000,000 of it have been destroyed
in circulation. Of the $23,O00,(!00 isud
in 1863, it is supposed not less than $2,-
500,000 have been lost or destroyed, and
will never be presented for redemption. Of
these two issues, therefore, there has been
a loss, to the people of $6,500,000. The
basis on which the supposed ioss has been
estimated is not known, but it probably
arises from the fact that ot the first issue
all have been redeemed except ' about $ 4,-
500, 000. The loss, however, may be much
less than the figures quoted.
