-- HARRISBURG LETTER. •14.o.nmsrarno, March 1, IS7O. i • . After five days' rest and refreshment from labor the lawgivers of the Com monwealth put in op appearance on 'Wednesday of last week, and worked with commendable vigor until high 116011 of Friday. On Wednesday morning the House did a brisk business 'in the way of dissolving the matrimonial relations of a number of dissatisfied married people. .-One' of the cases bad the un usual feature; that both parties llad. --- formedneWalliances, and thrilfil was passed doubtless for the purpose Of pro— tecting them from a prosecution for bigamy. In the afternoon the bill for SenaG LoWry's now county was taken up and indefinitely postponed by the de rided vote of 69 to 25. 'This kills the bill fur this session,' and it may therefore be hssurned that Psinusylvania will not increase the number of her countie4, ,hiring the present year., The defeat of the bill in the Botts° has produced a considerable amount of gos sip about ifstuithor, Senator Lowry, who indeed seems to be more talked about than all the other politicians its the city. It is charged by some knowing persons that the defeat orthe bill is exactly what the Erie Senator desired, and was quietly done at his suggestion,. Ho had fought heroically for it in the Senate., Ont . ', it was charged had' Made cembiva don outside of his party for the purpose of having it passed. But it is Alleged that he intended the, bill should rest there, and not become a law during this session in oeder that he might • appeal to the people of his district to' return him to the Senate for another term, to bave the work completed. - This session closes Mr. Lowry's third Senatorial term, and it is snrmised that his fondnesefor Legis lative duties is by no means on the wane. All this, however, is only guess work, and is only given as one of the items of gos sip concerning the legislation of the ses sion. The probabilities are that the gentle men who have beeri so ready with this solution of the matter, know exactly nothing abbut it, as several of them aro by no means on confidential relations with thegentleman from Eric. The Treasury investigation still gods on. Mr. 3lackey has been pretty thor oughly interviewed, and •on Wednesday evening General Irwin appeared before the committee and asked that he bo al lowed a few days to examine books and collect information. This courtesy had been' extended to Mr. Mackey, and it was quilted Mr. Irwin. To morrow evening is . 11xed for his examination. Itr. Nicholson the cashier of the TreaS- - my, was examined and answered quite at length. Ha gave his views with re gard to the whole subject of Treasury management. The whole of the investi . gation will simply amount to ascertain ing 4f,fieially the fact that the ° money of the State is and has been for years - , deposited in a number of banks in dif -ferent portions of 'the State, and that Choi are allowed to use it to-as a great an extent, and for as long a time, as .th e dethands.on the TreaSury will allow, without making, any recompense to the State the'refor. This - will be just the amount of the information obtained i f ' the committee examines every body in. - the State. Mr. 'lackey refused to an swer whether he got any. compensation from the banks. General Irwin will doubtless milk° the-name refusal, and perhaps Mr. Kemble will be equally re ticent on that subject. MLnwhile every person in the State, who is conversant with matters will most likely suspect that enrir of iffeltriii-1115-E1177t7-' lowed the custom of his predecessors. There has not been anything liko em bezzlement by anybody, and nobody be lieves there has been. The matter com plained 4'16 that heretofore State Treas urers have groWn rich by loaning the • funds of the State to banks and individ uals, and receiving a compensation there for. Of course such things should not be done, and it is the business of the Legislature to prevent' it. There was little need of investigation to determine the fact. There is much ueed'oyegisla lion to prevent it in future. It WOIMIO 11101 V profitable to drop investigation and perfect legislation on the subject. It makes very little difference now as to the exact items of the loans to the banks, but it is of simile consequence that there be none of it in future unless the State is benefitedthereof. The Watt-Diamond -electiou case still drags itself along. There has been sonic) testimony, but not of a very important character. The chances are that Mr. Watt will retain his scat: The border damage bill is still in the hands of the comthittee. Exactly, what keeps it there, might be difficult for outsider to de termine. There'has been time enough since its referenee to have had some sort of a -inert oh it. '" • • The annual appropriationliill has been reported' from the Committee of Ways and Means, and has passed the .House with very slight modification. One very striking feataire,in it is the absence of the item for the publication of the Legis lVve 'Record. The passage of the bill is one of the indications that' adjourn ment time is approaching. This is a measure that can not be dispensed,.ami doubtless*when tlio Senate has disposed of the bill, the Legislators will conclude that their duties are practically at an end and >lilt disperse.

" Colonel lloratio C.

Last week the lower Home of Congress voted to increase the currency to the ex _ tent of $56:060,000. The §iiiite — refiiiia to concur in this action bya decided veto and this puts a stop to the inflation bu siness. The country has great reason tore joico over this result. We are nearing epo de papient with commendable rapidity, rand any thing that _would retard our Progress in this direction would be very unfortunate. Gold has fallen within the a year from about 142 to 115, without producing an increase of depression over the year previous. The remaining dis tance is but short, and if nothing inter fere will Most likely be made within the next three mon - Yu. -- When this is ac complished thoM will be a greater infla tion from force of circumstances alone than can be accomplished by any legisla tion. The specie Of.the country during the last eight, years has entirely disappeared as currency. It has beep bought and sold as so much merchandise instead of being circulated as so much money." Lot specie payments be resumed, and all the goldin the country will be loosed immediately. The Treasury deposits need no longer be retained,, because the revenues of the Government can be converted into gold or what is better still, used in the pay ment_of_ _debt and interest without con version. . Again, largo amounts of our _present currency have been locked up as margins for the speculators to Carry their gold 'purchases. When gold ceases to boa 'cora: modity alrthese amounts will seek other and more legitimate channels of busi ness.

After great efforts at investigation to prove that the President was in the.great gold conspir icy; of last September, the Democrati have at last found something on which to hang -:a ease:. The President Wrote a lett& to Mr.. lioutwoll, en the' twelfth of September, in which he advi ses to move on Without change' until the Struggle is . over. This hr . " confirms.

Why do n't some Demociatie member of, this General Assembly of Bennsylva nia; offer a billrepealing the law that al lows migresi the right to ride on railroad cars as other people. Bills'of that kind wore very popular With Democratic statesmen some time wince — what has become' of theni ? We commend this matter to the senator and Rep resentative from Cumberland.

The colored Senator. from Mississippi has been admitted, and is now a member of the highest Legislative body in thei land.

It is reported that Mungen, a Democratic member from Ohio, who is a repudiator; audviho-made - s - disgraceful speech recently on Senator Sumner, has been at the same business and will also resign. This is right. If there are any more office brokers in Congress, let them resign also. They are not needed at Washington, and had better go home. Let them not stand on the order of their going, but go at once. How do Democrats of the "greenback variety" - like the decision of the ~B ri; preme Court, that the promises of the Government cannot be made a legal ten der for debts contracted previous' to their issue ? They - are in favor of the pay ment of the bonded lebt by the issue of more greenbacks. But the Supreme Court says thiscen't be dons., Whit do Pendleton, Vooheer & CO. propose to do in the matter. Senator Cameron stated in the Senate the other day that he predicted to Jeff rulis.w.leillieowittidrew-frormthoSenatei •that a colored man would succeed him as Senator from 'Mississippi. The head rebel doubtless smiled contemptously at ,the Pennsylvania Senator, when lie made the.prediction, but time has shown who 'best comprehended the situation. Hon.

J. G.
