Hartotanunp, April 4.
Legislation now' goes with ligh - rring speed.
Never in the history of • Our State,has the pu
sagettf 'bills been pushed through with such
rapidity as now. It - is not generally of public
interest; but such as.it is, there is aisuperabund
ance of it. Speculation is rife thltiighout the
country, and its grasping hand IS felt in our
isgislative halls demanding all kinds of specula
tive and thney corporate powers. pia eharters
which once haunted some over-sanguine brain
sufficiently to bring them into being years ago,
are exhumed and galvanized into Ilife for spec
httion upon the Philadelphia stnek boards; and
the bulk ofbills with which members' desks are
incumbered relate to some real or fancy specu
lation. The - coal regions abound with Openings
of this kind ; and railroad charterS, and wining
and manufacturing charters swarm about us:,
One of the grandest speculative schemes on
inindisu great gridiron Railroad bill just pass
ed for Philadelphia. It covers nearly if not
quite every unoccupied street it theeity, and
probably a few alleys besides.' It is denounced
by the Bulletin and the Press, but thirteen of
the seventeen members from the city, and the,
whole four Senator's, support it, and it goes
through without so much us a jar in the Motion.
In the House it had 71 votes toi22, audio the
Senate 23 to 3. The two Philadelphia papers
above named demand that the Governor shall
veto it, and for what reason 1 - They elect
members-to the legislature who are presumed
to know what - Philadelphia wants;_:-four-flfths
of them voteGfor 'this bill, and then the Gov
ernor is politely requested to assume that he
understands Philadelphia local interests better
thantheir legislators! Probably, the Gridiron
is a swindle, as the Bulletin says: it may be
shimelesslycorrupt; bat for p'eople who like
just suchlegislators Its Philadelphia'elects, it is
just the sort of legislation they like, and the
blame, it any; is 'at the doers of Philadelphians.
It- is rumored that the Governer will veto the
bill; but the Indian with his keen-edged knife in
bisbelt didn't laugh more at leather mil-bags
with Padelocktcla 'them, than.. : will the legitilit
lare at a veto of-is bill that has once passed by
ati aggregate vote of 94 to 25 . The bill will
become a. law; theroad will be.built by - bonds;
the stockwill stay- divided; th ,, ,Lucky ones will
pocket their pro fi ts, and a new wonder will
take its pluce lathe city of Brotherly Love in
ilinectltifArtfie 'ilifek
Sopkins is himself,. again. , He has voted
against the soldiers in every conceivable form,
rhieldng • himself behind the shallow plea of
want of orgardzation; and now' he repents. He
wants to "hedge" on the soldier vote, and he
'goes in with the offering of gold to volunteers.
Lust week' he cropped out as follows in the
shape of a resolution submitted to the Senate ;
. Resolved, That the Committee on Federal
Relations be instructed to bring in a joint
vegetation instructing our Senators, and re
questing our Representatives; to vote for a -laW,
requiting the payment of non-commissioned
kffteers and privates in the Service of the' Go
vet-talent, in coin or its equivalent.
rife not only offered the resolution; hilt he
spokefor it; he spoke feelingly- for it; he spoke
intensely for it, and Clymer and Wallace did,
likewise, whereupon Lumberton, like the squaw
with pies on her head for sale, fallowing a
pla
card offering those paletable commodities,eried
out—" me too !" Of course they all knew that
such a bill if pasied by Congress Would run gold
up,to .200 per cent, and stagger governmer4
credit; but' that is what they want, and they
wotiltj rather that the government couldn't paY
the soldiers at all; than that they should be
without grounds of complaint against the ad
• ministration for swelling our debt - and inflating
the currency. Fleming, Johnson, Lowry;',St.
Clair and Wilson spoke sensibly and pointedly
against it, and exposed the hollow hypocrisy of
the Democratic leaders, when the following ra
tional substitute, offered bi Mr. Nichols, was
adopted by.a party vote: • '
, 'Readied, That the' Federal Relation Com
mittee be instructed to inqUire into' the ex.
PedieJleY 44 urging Congress to vote to increase
the pay of - the gallant men of the army and
navy, who are imperiling their lives in defence
of the liberties of the republic ; and to pay the
'foreign ministers of , the Government in the same
r currency 'as the army and navy.
Hopkins proposed to add that the increase
shonld,make the soldiers pay not less than $25
per month, and the resolution was then unani
mously 'adopted.
The question of paying the interest on the
State' debt in currency was, before the Senate
last week, and elicited a lively discussion. Sen
ator Connell made a Most able defence of the
proposition. It will puss both branches.
The bill relative to military elaime has been
reported by the committee on Federal Rela-:
tons, - after so emasculating it as merely to pro.'
vide - for the adjudication 'of the claims. It
mnkei most careful provision for_ the payment
of the dommissionersproposing to pay them
tgi per day for six months, whether so long
necessarily employed or not. It has been well
- sUggested that the title the bill should be
changed to "An Aet for the- Payment of Com
missioners." Mr.. Sharpe proposes to procure
its consideration at an early day. HoRACE.

Gen. Meade - WaSlSefore,the coniiiiittee.on the
conduct of the leer on Friday last, J. and effectu
ally cleared up the allegation that he had oit
tiered a retreat at Gettysburg. Gen: Meade
arrived on the field at Gettysburg on Thursday
morning, affer„licynolds had been killed and
the two corps engaged on Wednesday had been
routed. Like a prudent conimander; he order
ed his chief of staff, Gen. Butterfield, VI-recon
noitre the country and roads to the rear, with
the view of selecting - a Safe positron~in easi
cemetery hill—the, advantages of which as a'
defensive position Were then not known--should
prove untenable, he could retreat in order and
take a new line of defence., But he distinctly
stated that he never
, issued an order for a re
treat—never edtberized such an order to be
issued, and icier heard of such an order until it
was spoken of recently in the newspapers. In
this statement he is fully sustained a number
of general officers.
The effort made by several subordinate com
mander:4 to strip Gem Meade of his laurels won
in the sanguinary struggle at Gettysbnrg, has
resulted in utter fidlare, except in the dishonor
it has brought upon those who originateii•;he
assault. To-day Gem Meade is fully vindicated,
...and returns to his-Old command with the entire
confidence of the government and his brave
troops; :aid soon he lead it in the most im
portant movement yet planned against treason.
Conspicuous among those who coveted General
3.feade's laurels, was Gen:- Sickles, who, is the
investigation clearly establishes, well nigh lost
the day, at Gettysburg by his• - rolly. He is now
without a command. ' •
Congress has been engaged in a modification
Of the National Blinking law for several days,
