Tn copper-tariff bill from the-Sen

;House. If brought to a direct vote, it
is expected to pass. Later advices

fC7The President has nominated to

The nomination will be confirmed.
• Contracts providing for specie
payments in coin are quite certain to
be legalized at the Present session. Let
the lELth Congress be credited for at
least so much in,the way of financMl
reform
THE promise to delay the Constitu
tional Amendment concerning S,uffrage
in the Senate by puck speaking, seems
likely to be verbosely kept. No ap
proach ttoward a vote is ..visible, and
Garret-Davis is -still in reserve. • .
GEN. SCHENCK'S bill, aflirning the
obligation to payall Government bond§
in coin, which are'nnt specifically pay
able in currency, and legalizing gold
contracts, seems now to have a fair
prospect•of passage, The Ways and
Means Committee decided to press it.
THE President, who began his term
breathing out threateuings and slaugh
ter against traitors, seems likely to end
in pardoning his predecessor's assas
sins. At least, we judge from the
patches concerning -Dr. Mudd that he
preposes'to get just" as near as he can
to that consummation.

to be congaed, owing to the great di

nothing done atThis session of Congress
on the _subject of Finance and the Tai•-

on these questions.

also seems a change of mind in the
matter of converting registered bonds
into Coupon bonds.
ZfeA delegation, including Hon.
Simon Cameron, are to visit, Atlantic
City, in a few days, to examine the
beach; with a view of repOrting to Con
gress the necessity ofan appropriation
for erecting a breakwater to the inlet
front, along which the ocean is making
serious inroads. Over 2,500 feet of the
beach 'opposite the light-house have,

WE welcome, the signs of an effort
in Congress to devise ways and means
for securing some trifle of revenue from
onr iceberg territoy. If the fur seals
can be niade to pay one-tenth of one
per cent. on our investment in their
region, we shall joyfully set' that down
as so much clear gain, and be 'thankful.
But lie trust Congressinen will never
theless watch the measure. Don't lei
us have the fur seals made :t pretex
foil a fresh butch of oilicersfff Alaska
or for any more soldiers.
WHardly a year has elapsed since
our purchase of Alaska, and already
we have an incipient Indian war on
hand. This kind of thing is getting
beyond endurance. Russia bad no
trouble with -the•aboriginal natives of.
this laud while -it was her territory-
England - never - had - in - all - herimmense
possessions north of us; while our flag
always brings war on our frontiers.
There are, we think, as . yet, no Indian
a,gerits in Alaska, and the War De
partment will have to account for this
responsibility. 4
I&GOV. GBARY'S nomination of
Wien Fortiey,'Esti., as .Librarian of
the State of Tennsylvania, Was con
firmed on Wednesday of last week by
the unanimous vote of the Senate. This
makes the beginning, we believe, of
Mr. Forney's third term as. Libraiian,
and the vote of the Senate was' ti just
recognition of his fidelity, courtesy,
and integrity. His bold and upright
course as editor of the Harrisburg State
Guard has secured him the confidencb
of, the itepublicans without losing,the
respect of the, Pertiocratd;
THE General Judiciary Committee

The Cabinet—Again
• The Cabinet niSrstery is becorffing
decidedly interesting. We are within
Jess) than one month of the,inaugura- .
tion - of the ripw.Kresident,; -- but nobody
knows a word atitjhe new Cabinet'
except Gen. GRANT, and.he is the last
man to tell. That is, nothing is known
of the particylar persons whe will pi
into the Cabinet, but everybody feels
absolutely certain what will be their
character and purpose. Wo can safely :
Resume that the new Cabinet will con
!
vey . to I the country the assUrance that
extravagance and dishopesty,will cease,
that the laws will be enforced, and that
to this end the offices will be filled with
men only of established character for
inflexible. integrity, high order. of ca
pacity, and in full sympathy With Gen.
Grtn . x:r's avowed purpose to reform
abtises, lighten the burthetrof taxation,
stimulate enterprise, and place the na
tional credit in the highest position be
fore the world. With this assurance
the country is content to wait three
'weeks for the names. .
'ln this connection — we may state ;
that the friends of Ex - -Gov.. CURTIN
are working hard to secure for him the
appointment of Secretary of the Inte
rior tinder President
,GRANT. Promi
nent in this movement are Messrs.
FORNEY, MCCLURS, MANN, and other
gentlemen who are skilled in political
strategy, and - know how, to turn the
public services and unquestioned pop
ularity of their favorite to the best
account.
On the other hand, the friends of
Mr. J. D. CAMERON are earnestly en
deavoring to have him made Secretary
of the Treasury Department. Hellas
demonstrated surprising executive and
financial abilities, especially for so
young a man. The now Senator from .
this State, made such largely through.
his influence and management., is, as
a •matter of course, Warmly in his fa
vor, and the utmost his father can do
will doubtless be done to promote his .
elevation.' With the two Senators from
I'imsylvania, it is stated,mapy...other
pi
•oininent and inlitiential gentlemen
are acting in this matter.
It will be seen, ,consequently, that •
lie colfrarig — an exci
ing ono,
ly to draw into it all the elements com
posing the Republican party of this
Commonwealth.
The following is among the latest
rumors from Washington in relation to
the. Cabinet, which is given for what
it is worth "it is said that.ChiefJus
tice Chase tvill resign, his position and
become our Minister to England, and
that William Mr Evarts, the "present
Attorney General,.will be made Chief
Justice-of 'the Supreme Court. That
Senator Morton, of Indiana, will be ap
pointed Secretary of the Treasury ;
Hamilton Fish, of NeW York, Secre
tary of War ; John Lathrop Motley,
of Massachusetts, Secretary of State ;
Admiral Porter, Secretary of the Navy;
Senator Nye, of Nevada, Secretary of
the Interior ; John W Forney, of
Pennsylvania, Postmaster General,and
William E Chandler, Attorney Gene
ral. There can no longer .be any doubt
but what Ehiliu B. Washburne, or Il
linois, will be our Minister to France."
,NomithAt3' plint4 , all these rumors,
nothing definite in relation to the com
position of the new Cabinet is known.
General GRANT authorizes the state
ment that be bas not in any way, in con
versations or otherwise, made known
his preferences or intentions in regard
to the persons who are to compose his
Cabinet. The statements that appear
from-time-to tlo,e, annonneingthnt•this
or that man will lie chosen one of the
President's advisers, are all manufac
tured for the purpose by those in the
interest of the parties named.

QTIERY.
From the statement of the county * fi
nances it will be observed that the retir
ing Commissioner, Mr. A. F. Mech.,
received for his valuable (l) services
the small sum of six lsunnred and twen
ty-six dollars. The pay of a Com-
Missioner, under the Act of Assembly,
ing-two-dollarru - day7it - is-plafir -- Mr-
Meek charged for but three hundred
and thirteen days. When we first ob
served this we thought that every day
in the year, with the exception of Sun
days, had been scored up against the
county, but, upon. examination L we
found that.last year was leap year, and,
that, while thereowere therefore, three
hundred and sixty-eix7daysdn it, never
theless thMe were but fifty-two sun
days, and, that Mr. Meek in the liber
ality:of his heart refused to charge the
_county_fet:one_day_in_the_y_ear,_for
which, according to the .Democratic
conscience, be might , have drawn his
two dollars. '
This being the case,' the question
arises, which secular day did the dis
tinguished gentleman fail to. charge
up against the county. Was it Wash
ington's birth-day, the 4th of July,
Thanksgiving,- Christmas, or. New
Years 3 or, as some as his own party
suggests, was it one of the days he was
absent in Philadelphia, or ope of those
he spent in our neighboring rural, sown,
New Bloomneld
. Feeling thankful to him for saving
he 'county two dollars, - we hope ot.r
nquiry will be met in an equally friend
y spirit.
Tit was charged, some time since,
that, the Alaska appropriation was car

REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL
A plan has been accepted for a new War
Department Building; a bill has. passed
the Senate for the paving"of Pennsylvania
avenue, . part of the expenses to be borne
by the United States; Major Bowen re
commends application to Congress for an
appropriation to_ improve th water front
here, and P. committee of huskiness mon has
already been formed, in.pursuance of the
Mayor's recommendation, to apply to Con
gress therefore, and to work up the neces
sary interest and influence for success ; and
a new Executive Mansion project is being
strenuously pushed. Now, in view of
These prop ei6T - 6 - fio - f fiinflairdTas"7 - 3 UMW
people's money, feeling 'my responsibility
as a journalist—a watchman on the house
top--4 have just one word of warning •to
put on record, viz: The Capital will be
removed from Washington ; and the peo
ple's irreversible decree to this effect, will
be issued within twenty years ; and prob
ably within ten.
There is only one practical difficulty to
be encountered in the actual removal of
the seat of Government, to wit : The de
termining of .the particular spot for the
new Capital, among the many..communi
ties cohtending for it. The need of extra
room that might arise during the 6 or 10
years consumed in 'erecting _the ' TIOW De
partment Buildings, and which Govern
ment would refrain from supplying itself
vieW of the contemplated change, could_
be abundantly supplieirie• the hundreds of
.privato buildings of all kinds, whiCh would
bo deserted owing to•the diminished busi
ness and population of the city, antioipa ,
tory to the removal.
The cost of. a new Capitalwhich le
always the bugbear in the way of the pro
ject, at first sight—will be absolutely noth--
ing to the nation. An area of land will
bo sot apart for
,the new District, of eufll
cient extent to lacethe publid buildings
in such ample and beautiful surroundings
as - are not equalled in any capital in_ the
world,• and to, leave enough for sale to
realize, at city Bit and suburban villa prices,
a sum - which will pay for all the edifices,
and put a magniflcient, surplus in the
Treasury besides. • ,
And thus, in addition to being.paid out
right for the removal, we shall have our
Government buildings handsomely and de
lightfully plaCed,:instend of being as now,
In the case of all public buildings in Wash
ington, the Capital not excepted, esthetic
nuisances. We' shall have the seat of
Government, midway between trio people
as nearly as possible, giving all an equal
Chance to gratify the growing disposition
to visit tho National. Capital during the

rable centripetal influence fOr'the Streng(li';

stead of, as now; encouraging a close cor
poration feeling in one part of .the nation,
• and obliging other portions to look at the

miles, with a feeling of estrangement ' ,
difference, or jealousy. People etnotimes_
-reply-to,th!s-thoughtwith-thiviemarictliet

END OF THE INDIAN WAR.—The very
gratifying announcement is made that the
Indian War is ended—that Sheiman and

terribly affective. The Indians have never
before so felt the power of the white man,
SHERIDAN has been an avenging angel to
them, sudden, swift, swooping down upon
them in the dead of -winter, routing and
killing their warriors, capturing—their
women and children and remorselessly de
: roying their property. He has made
thorough work, as he always does, and the
hostile tribes are at his, feet aiming for

It has always been a difficulty among
cipzens in insuring their lives, that the
Companies in which they insure are limi
ted in t_Ogpallgibility to thairs_ot_a_s' •
glo State. This•has rather prevented the
spread o?Life Insurance, so that it is not ,
as general in this country •as it is perhaps
in Gerinaay rind England. Several of our
most distinguished citizens, headed by Mr
JAY C9OKE, of Philadelphia have rel.
moved this difficulty by chartering a Com
pany under a law of Congress which gives
t equal power in every 'State and gov
erns it by unity of action. This is the
NATIONAI, LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
of the United States of America - -The
acrrertiiemerd pri Med in - itiallier - C - Oltin 7 in:
Its cash capital is one million dollars. It
insures lives upon every plan known to
other Companies, and in- addition to that I
it issues a policy which at the end of ton
years will pay to the holder an annuity
during his life and the full value after
death. The common instincts of prudence
the desire of every man to know that those
whom he leaves behind may be kept' from
want, the shrinking from povbrty we all
have ; the constant, anxious 'Wish in the
mind of every man that his children shall
not suffer or bo compelled to beg for briiad,
should lead him to take advantage of the
scheme here offered, and to cover his life
with a policy of insurance. For the ex- ,
ponditure of fair cents a day, h e can be
assured a thousand dollars when ho dies ;
and on any sum ho may choose to take at
the same rate. It is well to put money
into a savings-bank. It is perhaps bettor I
to put it into a cafe and well-managed
busineis. But banks are robbed, and busi
tness may fail, and evil days may come to
he most thrifty and far-seeing. A good'
Insurance Company is beyond any of these
dangers ; and the duty of prudence—a',
dut so stron that to neldect it is almo-
a crimo—should compel every man who
values his own comfort and the happiness
of .choso around him to takolutvantage of
a schema like that offeredlo7 Mr. .rAY
Cools and his friends.

An Appeal to the Christian Peo
yule of Carlisle
It has long bean a recognized fact, that
the North-eastern portion of our bwiuti
ful town has boon extremely wicked.
There are certainly exceptions to bo found
in individuals and families ; but those ex
ceptions only make the . : general immor
ality of people the more apparent.
No matter what destroying influences have
beed at work there, they have already too
long boon left td neglect and sin. It will
be a crying wickedness against ourselves,
an d against the roligion we love, if we
longer abandon these people to themselves
awl theit sins. They need thorough gos
pel-influences to save them ; and they
need them now. -
Worthy efforts, however, are being
made to elevate and Christianize this class
of our community. For several - years a
number of earnest Christian, workingmen
and women, have, felt their hearts strange
ly moved to do something for their,good,
in the name of tho Lord Jesus. They
have been meeting together twice every
Sabbath. They havehold Sunday Schools
it rented rooms; and now they are hold
ing prayer-meetings every night among
these children of neglect. These efforts
have not gOne unblest. A gracious revi
val has developed. The young aro crowd
ineto their places* the meetings: adults
with anxious hoa'rt.:s are inquiring how
they may be saved; and already quite a
number have professed to find pardon'and
pencil by . faith.
This interest has been 'sprawly ono,
and now it is found to be too great for
the Small apartments occupied for this
.purpose. More room is absolutely re
quired. It is proposed to'purchase a lot,
and raise a neat little, Chapel, adapted to
this Christian:enterprise expressly, 'Al

is 'proposed' that 'the irork go forward

THE religious excitement in the Ist

GOOD OATTLE.—Our townsman,

eight bead of fine steers, weighing in the

and thirty (11,830) pounds, or averaging
very•nearly fourteen hundred and eighty ,
(1,480) pounds per head. These were•
Dally very fine cattle, and' we are exceed

ness as a.butcher is perhaps , the largest of
any one in our mids,t,...should seo fit to sell
them to a strange dealer, rather than die;
'pose of them in our own Market House,
and fora time at least afford relief. to a
community that has suffered long and ps
tiently for want of good beef.--
NEW MARKET HOUSE.—We • hear
of project on the part of a number; of
our..citizons to procure the passage of "an
Act of Assembly, authorizing our Town
Council to sell or lease a portion of our
Market House Square, sulucient to ~erect
a building to be used as a market house
and other public purposes: The terms of
lease or conveyance to obligate the lessor
, or purchaser • to erect such a building as
will supply the urgent need of -this com
munity for modern conveniences for the
transaction of our market business and
the abatement of the outrageous nuisance
which now so much disgraces the other
wise most beaufful portion of our town.
The amount which could be realized Iron)
this operation would materially lesson our
onerous borough bebt, and in point of
economy there can be question of its de•
sirableness. We heartily commend_ the
project and bespeak for it the favorable
.consideration of our citizens generally.

friends, we. would state that the custom of
sending " Valentines" on that day origi

entine was, according to some ,writers,.a
bishop; while others insist that. he was a
presbyter, who was beheaded at Rome, In
the reign' of the Eta peor Claudius, A. D.,

—A friend at' 'our elboivi '
somewhat ostensively about town, inrorms
us of an odd calculation ho has made. Ho
says that the - sunlof "cents - placed on
compound interest would accumulate, suf
lliciebtly to pay our nationat"debt in. 460
year's A "big sum" indeed, rind the
nation's in debt, to him for the computn
ton! The American pecipld" are---laden -
' with debt pecuniarily and otherwise ; an
enormous debt' of gratitude is duo frbm
them to Messrs STLTARTyrICTERSON
Philadelphia, for the -- timely presentation --
of the great "Itailoy S'EeTif". Cooling
Stove I Among the many admirable qual 7
ities possessed by this lavoritOcook is this:
that whilst fully heated and.in escollen •
baking trim, there is great economy of
fuel in progress. The oven - doors being
double-tin lined, render the stove a pow- •
erful baker, and 'a groat tuel-saver at the
same time.- The construction of the "Bar
ley Sheaf" throughout is of the most sci--
entille'claracthr. Beware of imitations !

Constitutional dislike for faithful and
