There has grown ; up in Congress, irre
spective of partizan distinction, a _Strange
opposition to the creation of new territories
and the adMission of new States,
,and atten
tion has, lately been called to the long-con
tinued neglect of Congress to - provide a
territorial government, or, indeed a gov
ernment of any kind whatever, to the re
' mote Territory of Alaska, in utter defiance
of the treaty ohligations to the Russian
government, under which the Territory
was acquired.
The volume of.money in the country
at the present time is undoubtedly
'very large, and mayin fact appear to

than ,it had then, has treble the number
of miles of railways, and 14 quadru

active capital and its available wealth.

largest in the country, having an excess of
33,685 superficial feet over the Washington

wide all around the central courtyard, and

Contrary to 'general belief, the ; Tariff
Commission has completed its report, ac

commendations contained in the report.
These documents have been laid before
Congress. Tho bill _provides for a more
general and decisive reduction of all the
protective duties on foreign imports duin
the public had been. led to expect or believe

by the Commission, it is diffieult to see how
any further reduction of the tariff would
be practicable for the next twenty years,
in view of the revenue necessities of the
government and the magnitude of the war

iThough in many places the sky was so
far obscured by clouds' as to preclude suc
cessful observation, there are good grounds
for believing that the astronomers saw
enough of the transit of Venus to apirer
their purpose, and that such kitwervations
have been taken as will result in important
additions being made to our stock' of astron
omical knowledge. It is posalle that there
are sonic people who will argue that whether
the sun is ninety-two or ninety-five mil
lions of miles from the earth is riot of much
consequence after all, but the scientists had
set their hearts Upon seeing the transit, and
as they area deserving% set of people, every
one will be glad _that they have not' been

The appointment by the President of

The East Smithfield Pest
We publish below a copy of the petition
upon which the posher at East Smith
field was recently appointed. It is this
kind of boss control over the interests of
the people, that is doing more than any
other cause, to - weaken end destroy the
Republican party in Bradford county. We
publish it for the purpo4 of placing the re
sponsibility where it belongs, and to show
how entirely false was the statement of the
Reporter that Mr. Jadwin had recommend
ed the appointment of Mr. purfey. Mr.
Jadwin can well afford to allow - the men
whose hands appear in this transaction, to
have all the credit and bear all the respon;
sibility. 'We trust that Mr. Webb will not
now repeat his assertion that he knew
nothing about the appointment until after
it was made. .
To the Hon. Timothy 0. Howe, fttstniaster
General of the United States:—
- We, the undersigned citizens of Smith

tifyt the Public the Pension List
It is well 'mown that our present
pension list embraces a large numb l er
of pensioners who are annually defraud- .
ing the government, and bringing dis
grace uimn the honest soldier who mer-
its the recognition of the country: In
nearly every community there are
Oases of fraudulent pensioners who -are
known to their 'neighbors, but there
are many others who studiedly , conceal
their pensions from their communities.
Under the recent loose pension laws
assuming to provide for the equaliia
tion of pensions, it is notorious that the
most flagrant frauds have been perpe-,,
trated, and it is due alike to the gov
ernment, to :the 'deserving pensioners
and to the thieving pretenders, that the
most vigorous measures be'taken to ex
pose the various forms r ,of pension
frauds.
It has been assumed by Congress
that the pension roll should not he ex
posed to the, public, 'because' of the • sen
sitiveness of many worthy pensioners
about the exposures of their names 10 3 '
beneficiaries of the 'government;
that is a false and absurd sentimentality.
General Beaver is a pensioner, and who
is not proud to - know that so ;heroic a
soldier, maimed in the flame of battle
for his country, will remain on die
pension list for life ? The 'honest sal.
dier has no reason to blush for'. the
recognition given to him by the goiern
ment his courage preserved, and only
those who fear just criticism of their
merits as pensioners, can have reason
to desire the concealment of, the pen.
sion roll.
But, whether acceptable or objection
able to the pensioners of 'the govern
ment, the known frauds upon the Pen
sion Department now imperatively de
mand the widest publicity of- the pen
sion roll and the most: searching in- -
quiry into all doubtful pensioners, if
Congress would direct the careful piib
lication of the list by States and coun
ties, giving mimes in rilphabeticarorder,
wounds or disabilities for, which. ;Pen
sions are granted, and : furnish each
lists for public reeard in the courts of
every county, it would 'read to the de:
tection of many fraudulent pensioners.
As a rule, the local newspapers would
publish their local pension lists, and_
thus invite public scrutiny, and the
positive movement of the government
to expose and punish this meanest of
frauds would inspire the public genet.,
ally to active co-operation in the
work.
It may be well worthy of coniidera
don, also, whether:the,law should not
offer a reward for i the detection and
conviction of fraudulent pensioners. It
.
is such a- dastardly crime that :there
should be no mercy for its perpetrators;
and every true soldier as well as every
patriptic citizen sold ier
welcoine the
utmost punishment to the cowardly
thieves who have foisted. themselves by
perjury and fraud upon the highest roll
of honor in our great Republic. Give
the public the pension list; it can wrong
no honest soldier; - it .will consign to
infamy and punishment the meanest
of the ration's thieves—Phi/a., Times.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Wastasaros. D. C., Dec. 11. 1882.
One week of the second session •of the
Forty-seventh Congress has now 'passed.
Therels a manifest disposition to proceed
with the business demanded of Congress
during the present session without unne
ceseary delay. It is said there" will be' no
recess for the holidays. § The report of the
TARIFF COMIUSSiON
was presented to' the House on the first day
of the session, referred to the Committee of
Ways and Means, on motion of Hon.
UTlie& D. Kelley, who is . its chairman:
The report is voluminous r and with the ac
companying Papers will;nuthe a large land
important, document.' An order was pits sad
for printing the report and acconitanying
papers. An•effort will be made by the
Republicans to pass a modification of the
tariff lairfAirsierving the principle of ade
quate priktection during the present session.
Should they fail and the whole subject go
over to the next session, it is feared that it.
may have a depressing effect upis' n the nsa
tenni business interests of the country, and ,
!especially in Pennsylvania. While Pena.'

mud appmpriagon bills, tie". reduction of
internal tazatir„ civil-service reform, a
reduction of letter postage,, to two cents,
and the tariff. There is little doubt that,
the bill
REDUCING IMTERNAL TAXATION
will be Passed . dtuing;the present 1 session.
The reduction contemplated is about $lOO,-
000,000. By it theiax - on matches, pro
prietary medicines,
and the check-stamp
tax, will be entirely removed, and the takes
on cigars, tobacco, snuff and on whiskey
will be; slightly nduced.
CIVIL VIIIVICIL
At a meeting of the civil service reform
committee on Friday last it was agreed
upon to report favorably on the bill known
as the /Casson bill, for the better regulation
of the civil service. It provides; first, that
the provisions of the bill shall apply to all
the clerks in the. departnients in . Washing
ton, excluding only the clerks in the office
of the President; bi all clerks in the customs
service; to railway I postal clerks, and to
clerks in Post offices where -annual pay is
$3,000 or 'more. Applicants for appoint
ment in the civil service are to make writ
ten apdlication to the office making, the
appointment, giving age, , residence, &c.,
during the five years previous. This in t to•
be accompanied with the recommendation
of hie neighbors touching his moral charac
ter and habit Of living. No applicant is to
receive an appointment until he shall have
passed a satisfactory examination, nor un
til he shall have ' furnished , satisfactory
testimonials of his good character. ,i Rs
=illations are to be Made" us the deiart
ment, under the direction of the 'chief ex
ecutive thereof, or in case of appointments
for service in the District of Columbia by a
commission, not to exceed three in number,'
to
to be appointed by him and acting under
his instructions. Promotions from J one
grade to another are to be ,_determined by
competitive examinations. -First, all ap
pointments are to probationary, not less
than three monthssor more than one year.
Attlse end of whirl time, if qualified, the
applieant is to-receive an appointment for
fouryeirs, and shall not be removed ex-
Copt for cause. 'After a service of four
years in the civil service in the same de
partment, the appointee is to receive a new
appointment without examination.. That
removals may be made only for some of
the following causes:. Infidelity to the gov
ernment; intemperance; habitual profanity;
inattention to or neglect of duty; incapacity
for the duties of the office; disobedience of
official instructions; disrespect to the officers
of the same or ' other depiutments of the
government; indecency in speech; inten
tional rudeness of language or behavior
toward peroons having official ) business
with the officeror towards his associates;
conduct unbeUoming an officer and a gentle
man. Prior to any 'removals for tither of
the aforesaid eauses a copy of the charges,
with specifications, - shall be delivered' in
writing to the person charged, or left ad
dressed to him at his usual place' of resi
dence, and the time shall be specified within
which he shall make written reply: Provi
ded, That the officers having authorty to
appoint and remove for cause shall have
authority in all cases, when in his judgment
the public intereste'req uire it, to summarily
suspend the appointee in question pending
the investigation; and if found guilty of
the charge by the appointing authority, he
shall be removed from office; otherwise he
shall continue in the same. Any incum
ben of office may also be discharged' when
eve in the opinion.of the chief officer of
bit; jurisdiction such employment is no
longer required by the public interest, in
which case this cause shall be . alleged in
the notice of removal, to be gis43n in wri
ting, and no further appointment shall be
inadti in place of that so vacated
without special authority therefor by act of
Congress. No member of Congress, nor
officer of the government,' nor member of
any political committee shall, in writing or
by print, address or cause to be addressed
to any person holding an appointment as
in the - description of the first section of
this act / or to any laborer employed by the
government, any request, demand, or ini
vitatieis for a contribution of money for the
use of any politicalparty ; nor shall any
person demand or invite, for the use of any
political party, from such appointee, the
payment of any - specific suns
. of money or
percentage of his compensati on: Any per
son violating the provisions of this section
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall
be liable to a fine not exceeding one; thou
sand dollars for each offence, to be recov
ered in any court of the United States hav
ing jurisdiction of such offences: Provided,
That the same shall be ,prosecuted within
one year . (rim the commission of the offence.
Sonie measure of thilicharacter will probably
be Passed ' during the present session, unless I
obstructed by the Democrats. Their tender
solicitude for the poor government clerks—._
whom they would oust from their places by ,
Wholesale, were they in power—ought to
lead them, if consistent, to support the bill.
POLITICAL
Senator Beck, Democrat, of Kentucky,

a 6:soitition proposing that the Judiciary
Committee should investigate the bondnet
of the Republican Congressional Committee
. -
in the last campaign in {collecting money
from government officers apd employes for
politicel purposes. ''Sentor Rale, of Maine,
offered an amendment, instructing the com
mittee. to inquire also how math money the
Democratic Congressional Committee re
ceived trom the whiskey ring and from the
'Cobden ,Free Trade Club for political pur
pose& This proposition elicited a spicy de
bate, and the original resolution with the
amendment are still pending. It is evident
the one will not pass 'without the other.

The impression that Senator Reck, in
his effort to make cheap political capital for
his party, has '-`put his; foot in it", and
would like to be out of the dilemma. The
whole sutrject, is likely to be dropped. •

promises to be unusually dull this , winter.
The session being limited -to three months,
Senators and members of ', the House will
not bring their wives and daughters with
them so generally as during a long sessicse,

bers of both Houses are so pressing, that
little time will be at their command to be

The Democratic Rirty-, in view of - their
success in' the recent election, manilests
about the same elation as a rung attorney
does when he wins his first 'case before a
justice of the peace, and obtains judgment
forlis client through the default.of the de
iendant to put in an appearance at court.
The Republicans allowed the Democrats this
fall to take judgment by default. 'Next
time they will put bran appearance in twee
and contest the case, with such an array of
evidence as will drive the Democratic party
from court and leave them no ground upon
which to appeal`

significant, i. e., he advocates m o st of the
