LET the people understand that the
Democratic party in this State, with all
its pretensions of reverence for the will
of the people, opposes a measure which
is intended to allow them a vote on one
of the most important matters connected
with their municipal government.
Ox Monday evening the local option
bill passed the House on third reading.
Teas, 51 ; Nays, 35. The vote was al
most strictly a party ono. The bill flow
goes to the Senate,.with the chances that
that body will send it "whore the wood

men, of both parties,,to the; - above fig=
tires: They represent theranaoUnt ant,

the administration of President Grant
began. Tliis has been accomplished,
notwithstanding the fact, that taxation
has been steadily diminished all the
time, and that within the last year, more
than EIGIIT)r itILLIONE3 Of • dollars of
'taxes were wiped out with a single act.
There is another aspect of the case to
'which wo direct attention. This great
sum,-and the much larger one that re
mains unpaid, is the price the country
is called upon to pay for• the • luxury
of having a Derriocratic party. • It is the
galling reminder of the' imbecility and
treason of Democratic politicians. It is
the necessary consequence of having al
lowed that party, for many years, to
control the policy of the Nation. While
all men must rejoice that Grant's admin

MERE seems to be a disposition on
the part of some over zealous and impa

in many placeS, the attempts of temper
ance.people to nominate their own can
didates, and make a`'tontest which, inevi

which is always progressive. Its mission
is to secure, guarantee and perpetuate
the rights of all men. In the fulfillment
'of this, it has encountered more difficul
ties, and accomplished more work than
arty other' organization 'that has over
existed. Its clay has not passed; nor is
its mission ended, until all political
abuses have vanished. 'Let all true
reformers know this ; and let them,
receiving the work of the past, as an

HARRISBURG LETTER
HARRISBURG, 11111lell 7, 1871
After .a protracted vacation' for the
celebration of Washington's birthday,
and-for-other-purposes,-the-Logislature
re-convened on Monday of ladt week,
and has been working steadily and
faithfully ever since. The event of last
week was the debate in tIMJIMpiei on
the local option bill, on Wednesday last.
The hall was filled with ladies - mid ken
;,cr•ukppotad .tp -them I,n un : '
usual display of Legislative rhetoric, but
in this they %Yore disappointed. It had
beeti3Ovident., fim'scinie time, that the bill
would'pass the House by large major
ity, and neither its friends nor its (Me
mice, deemed it necessary to waste many
words upon it. Tho enemies of the
measure, however, made a covert tight,
by trying to amend the bill. -It was
first proposed to have the vote taken by
counties, instead of wards, boroughs and
townships, but this was killed byia vote
4.0 , 68 to 25. Another amendment was
Offered, substituting cities instead of
Wards, and this woo defeated by 69 to 25.
The plain square test of the
..qmistion
then came on the vote on .the first see
thin of the bill, which stood 59 yeas to
35'neys... About fiVe porpocrats voted
in favor of the bill, and perhaps three
Republicans against it. The remainder
of• the bill :passed without division: A
motion was then . 'made to• luspend - the
rules ; and road the bill the third time,
but an 4.1..iS required' a "two-third vote,
mid the 'ThmieeracY voted solid against
it, the final- vote will not be taken until
It is again reached in order. It Is; of
co rep, 'Certain to Miss the House at 'soon
as Ms-reached, but the chances:are that
it will npvertieo daylight in .the Senate;

able to the public generally. The public
printing business, received a good
share of attention and some ventilation.
The never ending Treasury reform
business was also considered during the
week, and elicited a rehearsal of 'all the
old speeches on the subject. Some
members declared that the perquisites
of-the State Treasurer ~#oro not less
than $70,000 per annum. The great
difficulty however in the way, is to devise
a scheme that can prevent the Treasurer
from using the funds that are committed
to his care; and :Lie to be held by him to
meet the obligations of the State as
they become-due. The speech-making
on this topic will continuo at intervals
during the • session, but it is doubtful if
anything practical will come of it. -

be able to be modified-by the opposition
of the Honse, and - the pressure of local
interests, remains to be, seen. ._ ____

summer schools oon•t n c the place
oh' .the public schools, a wotcl l'ekarding
them. may not, be out of place. Last
i.umuter 73„Subscription schools were in
session—enough, if properly distributed,
to accimunodatia , the whole county.
Most of these' schools were taught in
public schen] houses, many. of them to
the detriment of the schools and injury
of the houses. W are always glad to
hear of the establishment of schools, but
we protest against patronizing some of
these so-called summer schools. They
dii.not advance-the scholars; incompe
tent persons, by applying to parents, se
cure sufficient scholars td form a school.
_ . . . . . . . .
For rwo or three months these schools
aro kept in operation, closing without
haying rendered any service to the
scholars. Not only do these would-be
teachers fail to advance their schools,
but they also do there a positive injury
by allowing the scholars ..to contract bad
habits. A failure to discipline the school
begets on the part of the pupils a desire
to be unruly. Taught to recite in an
- unnatural - monotanous, -- sing-song- tone,
it will require half of the following win
t3r 'session to correct-the-fault. ,
The establishment of these schools
prevents the establishment of betters
ones. Persons unqualified to teach; on
account of age, lack of knowledge, or.
total -unfitness for the work, go from
houseto house - pleading for scholars at
any price, thus underbidding some quali

such, theyshould he discontinued. When
taught in public school houses, they aro
sanctioned by • directors' under the law
providing for the '• promotion of general
education, and the viiriprovonoont ' of

doubtful whether they promote the kind
of education we want. . .

THE NEW HOSPITAL
A GRAND CHARITABLE ENTERPRISE-A
NEW HOSPITAL IN PHILADELPHIA-
MUNIFICENT OI'FT OF PROFESSOR E. D
I=
.Hsloo,ooo TO BE RAISED
There are some facts connected with
the grand - new hospital, situated in this
city, which appear Jiot to have behn pre
sented to the public by any of our jour
nals.
Living for years directly opposite to
the magnificent grove of immense forest
trees now consecrated to the relief of
suffering humanity, we observed the
workings of the semivary established
there, and conducted by Dr. Saunders.
We noticed its steady increase until the
present year. It is at this time larger
and more flourishing in every respect
than at any previous period.
Not a month has elapsed since the first
idea was presented to his mind of remov
ing the institution to another locality, in
order to malso the grounds and.buildings
oVer to the Presbyterian Church for a
hospital, "from the benefits of . which
none should be excluded on account of
-ereed, -country- or - His family
physician, Dr. Robert M. Given,' was the
originator of the thought. He -bad for
months been revolving the plan and con
ferring with others respecting it, and at
• last laid it before the proprietor. With
amazing dispatch, on the part of all in
even to the adoption of a charter and-the
selection of incorporators and trustees.
We will state what we regard as the
most remarlarbl of the whole
movement. (Mtilst-Dr. Saunders was in
full career of advancement, with an in
come from his college, which sinply paid
all his professors' salaries, and all ex
penses of living, etc., leaving loin alum
ally a clear gain, chiefly from the rise of
his pt operty in value, of at least *l o,ooff
Ile stopped short, and gave away nll his
moans ofaceumulation. Whatever other
resources lie may possess, his large in
come from the seminary, and Ids gains
from the advancement of propertp arc
gone forever, and he consents, in reoeiv- .
ing *4,000, to bargain all away for a mere
fee action, that will barely support Isis
family in theotyle in which they have
ever lived.
There is another view of the subject.
Dr. Saunders was "born to command,"
It was as easy -for him to direct all the
movements of a great tat - Mu:try, to lay
out plans for his professors to reclaim
wayward pupils, to smile on the well dis
posed and encourage the desponding, as
it is for one of the drivers of a street car
to guide his horses. No citizen oven
seemed rime at his ease than
,Professor
Saunders, yet, upon gazing into his col
lege, the visitor was amazed to see the
order and hard work 'of,his pupils.
Now from this patsy supervision in
which the doctor delighted, be, turns
away toharder and much Tel ore self-deny,.
big labbr thativillyield him next year
no $lO,OOO, clearOin and no money to
give away with his usual freedom: This
retrenching his means of blessing others
resit be a great self-denial to a man of
his liberal spirit. But the deed is done.
It wite not an imprrkp He is not the
man ever to regret il. lie said years
gone by that he wished to see this
property go to some great charity, and
po with it for a little while. It hasentered
on its longjourney of beneficence through
future generations. May God grant that
the donor and tills estimable lady, , whose
heart is in Ibis matter, may longto with
this grand' and touching benevolence ;
long live to see thousands on crutches
enjoying the air under the noble old trees
on the spotyrhich we knew in our boy
hood as Oak Hall. „
We agree with Br. Saunder's nephew;
Judge A,xtell, who said that, fitted as his
uncle was to pie , sido over a college, a
hospital would suit him much better.
Bereaved of their only child, Captain
Courtlaud Saunders, of the Corn Ex.
change Regiment, who, with all his ex
traordinary piety, erudition and accom
plishments passed away at - the I;
' attle of

It' a- nown that this Christian young

life, with his father, about another hono- -

Tltta PLAN

it meeting of ,the Presbyterian Alliance
was held! at the Seventh Presbyterian
church, Rbv. IL C. McCook pastor, for
the purpose of formally accepting from
Prof. SamulerS the munificent gift of his
college grounds, constituting as lug!,
square at Thirty-ninth, abovi3Marlcet, for
hospital purposes and uses, to be under
the °hal& of the Alliance. The property
which Mr•. Saunders, thuti liberally ap
propriates °to charitable uses is well
known throughout the city, and has been
testified to as being:situated On a. Spot un
surpassed-for health and all the nacos
'shies and conveniences which are re
quired in an edifice of this kind: The
buildings are eminently adapted for a

WE noticed several ladies on the street,
wearing "sun downs," during the past
week. This is the proper month to com—
mence oveaiing them, said one of the
" stroninded" in our. presence the
other day, especially persons that lan
easily from March winds.

How's 'MIS. —ln rushing down East
Loather street, the other day in quest of
a local, we observed a crowd of persons
collected in the rear of Shapley & Hod-
Lea's •Turniture, Rooms. On Making
inquiry we ascertained that William
Fridley had received a largo invoice of
American Base Burnerv, together with a
largo assortment offurnaces, ranges, &c.
Give him a call.
ONLY ONCE.—We notice a number of
our exchanges 'copying locale, and also
editorials from TEED HERALD, without,
giving us any credit for so doing. We
are pleased to have anything copied that
appears in oun PAPER, and aro gratified
to, see that the different articles' are ac
ceptable to so many of our brethren or
the press; but it would do well to give us
credit just once, " only this and nothing
more." . •
THE CARLISLE SHOE FACTORY.—We
are pleasqd_to_belable.to_recordAhe_fact
that this manufacturing establishment,
under the management of Messrs.
Neidich, Green & Co., is again in 'opera
tion. The dotnpany have succeeded in
obtaining Mr William Small as foretnan
of the factory. This gentleman, for a
number of years past, has :successfully
carried on an extensive shoe establish
ment in College Block, on Third street,
Harrisburg. Mr. S. is regarded-as an
experienced workman, and-comes highly
recommended, and has, during his life
time, had charge of as high as 50 hands
at one time.
It is the intention of the Company to
employ about 00 hands-10 ladies and 10
gentlemen—thus enabling them to turn
out between 300 and 400 pairs of boots
and shoes per week. Should they be as
liberally patronized as they are led to
believe they will be, it is the intention
to still further increase the capacity of
the establishment. -
There are some additional sowing
machines to arrive from Philadelphia,
together with the latest patterns of lasts -
and dies, and it is thought that in the
con me of the .nest week, the factory will
he in fine running condition, 'giving
steady eninloyment to • the devoted
followers of St. Crispin, dependent upon
it fir their daily bread. We wish the
new company success in their under
l.akieg, anit titiiy the brightest - dye - mg of
all interested be folly realized.
I I .tao sin STORE Room.--In October
rcen field, She popular_
dry goods merchant, at 7, , .Z0. -I . East
Main street, finding that hhi placC of
business was getting rather contracted
for the immense dry goods trade he has
established, purchased, at public sale,
the property of the late Chief Justice
t;il,con, on - the same street, directly
opposite the "Bentz House." Work
was inonetlithely commenced on the
property, and to-day it can scarcely be
recoguiced by our citizens as the same
building,
Mr. John it. Turner, architect, drew
the plans. Hobert M:l3lack, carpenter,
executed the work of putting in the
front, and the extension to the room,
and also the counting-room and desk.
The counter is of a new design, resting
on pc( estals with ilrehed work under
neath; surmounted with a walnut top,
two Macs in depth. The counter and
shelving were furnished and placed in
Positiotr — hy—pardner & Co., under the
direction of 'Mr. Joseph Freeland ; the
entire f ront : is supported by a single iron
girder, furnished hy . this Company.
The windows fronting on Lin street,
were re-modeled to correspond with the
property of Judge Watts, immediately
adjoining. The glass in the show-win
dows are solid panes of French plate, 4
feet by 9 feet in dimensions tiley are
lighted by reflectors, suspended from
the ceiling, and present .a gorgeous
appearance after nightfall when lighted
up. The gas for the store is furnished
from three massive pendant burners, each
having k4o jets. They are beautiful
indeed, and far surpasi anything of the
kind we have Yet seen iii -this place.
The gas fixtures were obtained from the
firm of Mickey, Merrill & Co., Chestnut
street; Philadelphia, and placed in
position by Messrs Campbell & Henwood.
Tito. staining and pencilling of the
upper 'stories of the front building was
porfortned by Messrs. Crab & McGowan ;
while the store and hall front'vras grained
in walnut, • by Mr. Bannan, of the
firm of Barringer & Bannan, of Harris
burg, and cannot , be excelled, for
superior- workmanship, in this, valley. :
The painting of ;the inside of the room
is done in white gloss, and the 'counters
are
, finislied With a very_ high' Aolish L
under the direction of Joshua Pagon, eeq.
The desk in the counting room, is cir
cular in form, and contains all the mod
ern improvements,.. presenting a hand
sonic appearance. Mr. Black deserves R
grmit dad' of praise for this skillful pioce
of workmanship, and Carlisle, may feel
proud to claim him as a master me
chanic.
The ceiling is bordered by narrow gilt
moulding, exhib Ring a veij lane
appearance. The. plaiforing was done
by Mr. Joseph palbert,' of this place.
dreenfield can flatter himself on
having one of the s handsomest store rooms
in this valley. - IndaedWo think it would
do credit to "Chestnut strdet, Philadel. •
Oda. ,-14 e took possession on Monday
morning last,•and, his shelves are tilled
with new goods just received from the cit
ies. Thankful for past patronage; he hopes
Mill further to moot the approval of a
generous public, and hereby extends a
cordial welcome to all to parhim
tu his new store room,-whether they wish )
to purchase or not.-
