UNPLEASANT PROSPECT AHEAD
The statement is furnished from Washing
ton that the government finances are in any
thing but a flourishing condition, The Sec
retary of the Treasury has no surplus gold to
sell ; the contraction of legal tender notes
practically stopped on the first of last month;
yet the daily receipts from internal revenue
continue to grow "small by degrees and
beautifully less." Meanwhile there is little,
if any, reduction in the public debt. On the
contrary, it is asserted that. the next regular
monthly statement will show - a considerable
increase therein. Notwithstanding the talk
about "retrenchment," the usual extravagant
and unnecessary appropriations will be made
by Congress this session: The Freedmen's
Bureau is to V continued, and large defic
iencies for AfriCaniring the Southern States .
are to be met ere the let of March, while a
larger sum than ever is required for the cx-,
penditures of the regular army. Happy the
people who submit to be robbed at every
pore, and are yet so lost to self interest *as to
believe n ith the old lady who was kicked
over by her cow, - that "it's all for the best. '
""STRAWS SHOW WHICH WAY THE
I=l
The following telegram from IVishington
appears in the daily paper. of TuP.(lay morn
ing :
"The Committee on banking and currency
are nearly unanimous in favor of a bill au
thorizing the issue of treasury noto not bear
g inter t, to be used in providing a sinking
fund for the extinguishment of the national
debt. The first section of the bill makes it
unlaNVful for any person to issue notes to be
used as money, unless they are authorized to
do so byact of Congress. The Secretary of
the Treasury is authorized to issue such
sum as, may be necessary for the purpose set
forth in the act, not exceeding three hundred
millions of dollars ht T.7nited States notes.
said motes tithe a tender for the payment of
all &Ins,' The object of the bill is to call in
the national bank notes, and to give the gov
ernment the full benefit of issuing and circu
lating currency throughout the country."
It -will be perceived by the'above, that the
Radicals in Congress, after almost the en
tire press of their party has denounced the
Demberatle idea of paying off the bonds in
greenbacks, and substituting greenbacks for
national bank notes, is now actually prepar
ing to "steal nr thunder." This explains
the intimation of a Radical paper in Cincin
nati, which has beerig,oing the rounds of the
press. to the effect that -it was quite likely
that, before long, both parties would stand
on substantially the same platform in regard
to this 'subject. The Radical Congressmen,
with all their insane partyppirit,,ftre keen at
scenting the popular dispoSitibn, and do not
mean to let the Presidential contest go against
them, if an extensive inflation can prevent
it. They will make money plenty until the
elution is over, and then look out for a turn
of the screws that will make thebondholders
dance with joy, while the mats of the peo
ple groan under the rack of oppressive and
unjust taxation.
TII AND 'NOW
Our readers may not have forgotten that
in 19G4 the Radicals having conceived a dis
likit to MOutgomery Blair,'essued , -a circular
sigrus by im majority of the Senators, includs
in,g' Messrs. Wade, Sumner, Wilson, Chan
dler and Sherman, and addressed if to Presi
dent Lincoln, asking -that gentleman's re
moval from the Cabinet. An extract from
that once interesting paper "will suffice to
,-how its general,import -
"The theuk of our government, the early
and uniform and practical construction there
of, is that the President should be aided by
a Cabinet council agreeing with him in po
litiein principle and general policy, and that

but pow the Senate interposes in the other

Tab
outcry against the -bill to make one
-111-'d of the Supreme tourt more powerful
Jan two-thirds has alarmed the Radical
Congressmen to such en extent that they
have concluded to abandon the original
measure, and adopt another more ingeniously
prepared, but nope the less odious and mis
chievous. It takes from the Court the priv
ilege of appellate -jneisdieticm over cases
arising under the reconstruction acts, thus
divesting the people of the South of any op
portunity to have their grievances redressed
by the highest judicial tribunal in the nation,
As most readers will not be apt to understand
the exact meaning of the bill, it may be
nec,ssary to state that all-the judicial power
of the United States is vested by the Consti
tution "in one Supreme Court, and in'sisch
inferior courts as the Congress may, from
time to time, ordain and establish ;" and that
the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is orig
inal and appellate. The Supreme Court is
invested with erigired jurisdiction only "in all
cases affecting embassaclors, other public
ministers and consuls, and those in which a
State shall be a party." In all other cases of
Federal cognizance, the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court is appellate, the inferior tri
bunalshaving jurisdiction, "with the excep
tions and such regulations as the Congress
shall make." These eases are, among others,
those arising under the Conititution, or the
laws of Congress; those of admirality and
maritime jurisdiction ; controversies to which
the Federal Government is a party, or be
tween citizens of different States. The word
"appellate," as used in the Constitution, in
- respect to jurisdiction, denotes the power of
the Supreme Court to review the proceeding's
of the Inferior courts, either as to law or
fact, or both, sec girding as the ease is in com
mon law, equity or admiralty. In partition
of authority between the Supreme Court anti
the inferior tribunals, very little original
jurisdiction has been reserved to the former.
The greater part has been consignial to the
letter, subject to such proper regulations
as Congress may deem advisable. In this
division it necessarily happens that she Cir
cuit Courts, for csatnple,have nu jurisdiction
of a cause in which a State is a party, because
in those cases in whirls the original jurisdic
tion is given to the Supreme Court, - founded
on the' character of the parties, the-Federal
judicial power cannot be exercised in its aye
pellate form. 13ut, where the nature of the
eantrceerv, bring - within the_ extent of Fed
eral judicial power, draws in question a law
of Congress, there the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court is appellate. It will be seen
that the bill is, thia-efore, in accordance with
the terms of the Constitution, while it is in
direct antagonism to its spirit. No sane man
will suppose tbr an instant that the founders
of the Constitution intended that -Congress
should possess the right to interpose a barrier
that would deprive ten States of the Union
from the right to be heard before the Court of
last resort, established for the express purpose
of deciding issues like those involved in the
present controversy.
The public will be interested in knowing
the immediate reason for these insidious at
tacks upon the Supreme judicial tribunal. In
the course of the administration of affairs in
Mississippi, under the reconstruction acts,.
Gen. Ord Arrested nue 3leCardle and caused
hint to he brought before-a military commis
sion on three distinct charges. r _ MeCardle
having been taken in custody by the Military
Commission, application was made to Judge
Hall, the 'United States District Court Judge
-for Mississippi, who issued a habeas corpus,
and the prisoner was brought before him.
The Judge rendered an elaborate opinion
that there was no judicial tribunal in" the
State, not subject to Gen. Ord, having cogni
zance of the offenses charged against McCar
die ; that he could not come to clear convic
tion of mind to pronounce the reconstruction
RCN of Congress unconstitutional. and _that
the offence charged against McCardle is one
upon which he wassubject to arrest and trial
before the military court. The prieonerevas,
therefore, remanded to the custody -of the
military authorities. This ease, it will he
seen, raises distinctly and peremptorily the'
constitutionality of the reconstmetion laws,
and it has been brought by proper proceed
ing up to the Supreme,Court at Washington.
which has ordered it to be placed on the list
for argument early in March next. It so
hap
pens that there are now but eight judges on
the Supreme bench ; live oh these are known
to entertain the opinion that the reconstruc
tion laws are repugnant to the Constitution
and therefore'toid. Hence the action of the
Radicals in Congress. and their anxiety to
prevent a verdict that will he regarded as de
cisive-by every "loyal" citizen. As the Con
stitution stands in the way of removing the
judge's, they seek to escape from the dilemma
by sealing their lips and stopping up their
eirM
It is unnecessary to make . any comment on
such base legislation as this ; the plain state
ment of the facts hears its Own comments.
For the first time in the history of-the 'United
States, the destinies of the Republic are in
the hands, ot` a cabal of politicians, utterly
lost to the sense of honor, and it will not he
long, at the present rate of progress, until
every vestige of the system of government
that we once so fondly adored, will be blotted
out of existence, to make room for some . ex-
periment better suited to accomplish the pur
po,es of the Radical leaders.

Theldegislature of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania is now fully organized and
blisily at work. Businets isbeing transacted
with due deliberation and dispatch. Several
matters, that tO some extent affect the inter-
ests of the people of Erie city, have already
been under consideration.- I propose - to
mention some-of them briefly:
WATER WORE D SEWERS
The liteal toarrel in relation to the city in
terests is exciting some attention. The con
struction of water works and sewers, it Is
believed, will create tames disproportioned
to the population and wealth of the city,
and, I apprehend, that a petition of the
zens of Erie, praying for "protection from
her CoWneils," recently presented to the Sen-,
ate by Mi. Lowry, will receive due consider-,
ntion.

u. W. RAIGiVAY..
Near the close of the last session, Senator
Lowry offered a resolution which was passed,
directing the Attorney-General to talus testi
mony and report to • the Senate- if this cor
poration had not so maimed its charter by not
running its road to Erie as to forfeit all of its
rights within, the State. In compliance
with this, the - Attorney-General, a few days
since, reported that the road had built its
branches but kit ;inbuilt its noun line, and
that an action in iewh•nto nTaiii;t them
would lie.- This report was referred to the
Conimittee on ;Railroads. Yesterday that
Committee reported that it was the duty of
the Attorney-General to proceed with the
whole power of the State, and compel theta
do run a six foot road froth Meadville to Erie ;
and they alsO said that if the Attorney-Gen
eral found any difficulty in the Courts, Mat
legislation as may he deemed necessary for
the accomplishment of thii purpose will be
guaranteed. Two thousand copies of the
report and testimony were ordered to be
printed. . .
31y opinion is, that Senator Lowry under:
stands himself on this subject, and that he
will take every inch of the toad in the State
from the hands of the assignees unless they
construct a road ni Erie in pursuance with
their charter and their contract with the Eric
and Allegheny road.
MEM
The resMution presented in relation to the
Stanton' , matter elicited much discussion.
They afforded a fine oppOrtunity for a gen
eral. ventilation, and making speeches has
since been "the order of the day." They
are no doubt intended for campaign docu•
ments, and Some of them have been evident
ly performed with much care. The dis
cussion has brought out more ability than I
expected to find in either House.
=!
There is another subject I will briefly- al--
hide to before,closing, that has created some
amusement among the Democrats, and a
little chagrin among the Republicans. It was
at the opening of the session well known
that yoF "Irrepressible" Senatorial Repre
sentative from Erie had fowl views of his
own on the currency question of the coun
try: and that he intended to give the coun
try the benefit of his - peculiar views. A Re
publican caucus was called by Gen. White
and others in a Committee room of the Sen
ate, for the purpose of inducing Lowry to
abandon his ideas, or at least remain silent
upon the subject • The '6lttetts, after due
deliberation, voted Lowry a heretic, and that
it was essential to the interests of the party
to apply to him "the 'gag." He was, there
fore, politely invited to remain silent. Low
ry, It appears, had no disposition. to be thus
summarily suppressed, and became indig
nant. It is said that he told his brother Re
publicans that if they Made an issue against
him on this currency
. question, the Whole
party would go to the had place. They
threatenotl-, and advised him that he had
better beware. Re became intlignant=and
tat them to go to h•-,,-11.
On last Tuesday evening, the resolutions
in relation to this matter came, up, and with
them, the 'appliance of all the party maehin
ery to suppress yoUr "irrepressible" Senator
front the "bleak shore." Ridgway- said he
was . a repudiator. Lowry intimated that
somebody did not always tell .the truth.
They prevented Lowry -from speaking, but
by: way of protest, he succeeded in getting
his speech in the Record, and it httsgtme out
to the country, Ile beat them handsomely ;
and the way it Was done has attracted more
attention than it would have received other
wise, and the speech is to-day being read
and discussed more than am - paper that has
went out from the Senate Chamber this Ses
sion. Re suggests ideas upon Our faidneial
affairs that are both true and startling : and
I think that 3-on will agree with me in say
ing, that it is one of the - best eluekdations of
this very important subject, that has yet
found its way- to the public. The unfair at
tempt to suppress it, should, and will, give it
a witkr circulation than it could possibly
otherwise have attained. 31.

In our last issue we referred to the speech
made by Senator Lowry, at Harrisburg, in
support of Mr. Beck's resolutions favoring
change in the National Bank system, the
paying of the bonds in greenbacks, where no
contract to pay in gold was made, and the
taxing of the balance. It appears that the
Radical Senators bad got Mind of Lowry's
intention to make this speech, and being near
iv all opposed to his view:i, had resolved- to
"nip it in the bud," by refusing to permit de
bate on the resolution. 1 party caucus wa.
held, at which they gave the Senator a lively
talking to, but failed to drive him from his
purpose. Finding that neither coaxing nor
threatening could move him, the party lash
was cracked, and a motion adopted to lay
the resolutions upon the tabh as'soon as they
came up in order in the Semite. According
ly, when they arose, the Senate :voted. by 12
to 10 against their consideration, Speaker
Graham. of Allegheny, and Mr. 'Lowry being
the only Radicals who civil their votes in the
affirmative. Lowry then .asked leave to pub
lish the remarks he deAginfd making in the
Legislative Record. Mr. Ridgway, of Phila
delfthia, offered an amendment, that five
hundred copies in pamphlet [Orin be printed
instead, saying that he 'lid not wish to be
Compelled to send any "mnaliation . sehenies"
to his constituents. Mr. Lowry answered :
"Mr. Speaker, I hurl back in the gentle
man's teeth the charge that I am in timor of
repudiation, anti , I pmnoitnec it false in every
particular. I stand lucre to tit-fend the dept
of my country, and I am not afraid of its
open discussion-in the Senate, and I deny all
attempts, made by caucuses or otherwise, to
prevent the facts from going to the country.
I allllllBeffsitor here, and I have a right to he
heard."
After some Walter 4ntrring, Mr. Lowry
said that he wag bound tltat his speech should
go into the Record, and it' it couldn't be done
in any other way he would print it as a pro
test against the action of the Senate. The
Speaker suggested that lie - could turn the dif
ficult corner by inserting the speech in the
shape of reasons flu- casting his vote iu fai•or
of entering upon the consideration of the
resolution:, and in that ingenious method
they have been given currency, doubtless
much to the disfinst of the intensely "loll"
Ridgway and his fellow Shylocks.
We have received a copy of Mr. Lowrt:-'s
remarks in full, and as anything coining from
him is generally lOoked thr with considerable
curiosity, had designed presenting them com
plete to our readers. Their great, length
(making about eight - columns of our paper)
prevents this, however, and we content extr
_self this week with giving the portion relat
ing to the National Banks, and will follow it
up with the balance in our next Issue. The
extracts we furnish to-day abound in. many
of Lowry's characteristic ideaa,but in oddity
of style, force of expression and novelty of
argument, atTorfl no jtEst conception of, the
remainder :
1=1:13
Mr. Lowry commenced by saying that he
takes it "from the habits of our people and the
progressive state of society that a paper ellr,
retry,redeinable at the pleasure of the holder,
is the first great financial object which the
Country desires to attain." There is no clues.
Lion the peopl.t under tin 1. so little of as the
working of oor financial, systems. The old
State b.tnks were a "monstrosity," and em
braced n ithin them "all that was evil."
"They lived and died a lie, and with my con
sent never shall hav - e a resurrection." We
"must meet this currency question direct and
that at the nest election." The country,
within the iw•ct five rears will require a pa,
per circulation of a thousand millions. The
issue is "whether the currency of the country
shall be furnished by the national banks, or
rather through
.the national banking system;
or shall they be abolished so fir its they are
hanks of issue, and the currency be furnished
by the Government direct r he favored the
latter. By the Consti Minn,. all power to
regulate the currency; in any firm, rests with
the General Government. The old Bank of

This.banking system, of it,self. screws Out
of the people more than their share of the
public burdens ; and when taken' in connec
tion with the odious internal revenue meas
ures of the Covernment, it becomes palpably
evident that the ~crew_ s must be lOosened, or
those at the breech of the placidle are in
more danger than thoie at the muzzle. These
twenty millions in round numbers are now
taken direetly and semi-annually ,t of the
pockets of an impoverished people, and given
to a few men of tanence, and the country
is told to bear it with patience ; that. like eels
they will become used to it; and by the time

the banks for a circtilanon for thenselves,

continued, it will, from the very nature of
things, destroy the Government, and. finally
work mit the destruction of those who would
seek to perpetuate It. The people furnish the

one hundred dollars in a paper that was not

ninety dollars in a better currency than they
