An Apology.
We issued no paper last week. A press of
job work rendered it entirely beyond our power
to do so. We could not disappoint those who
had favored no with their work without serious

for one week. We shall make up hit
some future time, and promise that It shall
so occur again if within our power to preaeht

which we desired.

to lay before our readers. We omitted noticing
the loss of this letter sooner, in the hope that it
would turn up amongst some of our papers.
GT some evil disposed persons are trying to
make the impression that the editor of the Blair
County lA'Mg is vexed at us, and that his article
of last week, headed "the Huntingdon Journal,"
was intended to be offensive to us personally.—
But we are not so verdant us to believe a word
of tins. We know the editor of that paper too
well to believe that he would be so nicely sen
sitive as to be offended at us for our complimen
tary notice of himself, a few weeks eines. We
know the Major's modesty is easily shocked by
flattery; but then our principal compliments
were gaoled Porn his own paper. He is
surely not angry with us for re-piiblishing that
whichdie had endorsed. It is trne j the Major
says something about our heart being "clothed
with wrangled venom," but he certeinly means
nothing by it ;—the expression, we apprehend,
was intended to be entirely figurative, and we
might add, purely original. Gentlemen of high ,
wrought and lively imaginations, often drop from
their lips not pens expressions offensive to the
taste of those not fitted by nature end education
to soar so high, and it is not fair to hold them to
a strict account in so doing. Their imaginations
must be allowed a liberal scope. And on this
ground we entirely excuse our .perttn,al friend'
of the Blair County Whig, fur the elevated train
Of thought indulged in by him last week, rela

Working-Men Ahoy
It is high time for the wording-men of Penn
srPvania--by which we mean fainers, manufac
turers, merchants, medial:lies, tradesmen, labor
ers,--every body to ft/abut rich or poor loafers,
who wont work if they have a chance—to take
active measurers to have the doctrine of Pro
tection toifouie Industry re-incorporated in our
TarifTtaws. It is getting to be clearer every
day, kliat they must either put down the Tariff
ONG or be put down themselves. Both cannot
stand together. Under the present system Great
Britain is the workshop for America. - -The
money that should stay here to keep our people'
employed, is sent to England to enrich British.
manufacturers and working-Men. Tbe policy
of the dny is to import British Irdn and export
American gold.
Theft iabht one way to arrest the evil. It
is to call meetings in every city, town and vil
lage, in faVor of increased duties on the great
stnplcs of Pennsylvania—to pour petitions day
after day into both Houses of Congress=-to
write letters to our representatives—and to shOW
them that we arc in earnest. It must came to
that at last, and the sooner we begin the sooner I
can we hope to succeed.
We do not Urge this as a party, but a Pennsyl
vania measure.—lt concerns all—Whigs and
Democrats.—The two parties have a sufficient
number of exciting questions to discuss, with•
out quarrelling about the propriety of a measure
so vital to their interests, in regard. to which
they should be of one mind and one heart.

Party Deslieratioh:
It will be seen, by iefeteiice to Otir Hari isburg
letter, that on Monday that a most disgraceful
scene was enacted in the House of Representa
tives at Harrisburg. Because their political
villainy waaabout to be thwarted by the passage
of something like a fair apportionment bill,
forty-two Locolocos banded together to stop
Legislation by refusing to vote! And during
the whole Of that day this rsrelutionary move
merit Was adbered to, the forty-two refusing to
vote, which left the House without a quorum.
The Pa. Intelligencer says, that at the head of
this desperate movement was James M. Porter,
a mall reeking with political profligacy and cor
ruption, who is notorious for his disregard of
law and order when he has a favorite political
object to accomplish.—That - he ehotthl have ad
vised and resorted to such a caltse, surprised
no one; but it did surprise malty of both parties,
that' such cOurisel from midi a quarter, would b e
followed by sorb' men as Judge Conyngham,
Andrew Beaumont, the pious Father Meek, and
some elites - we might name, who had some
character to lose.
An eutrage on the Tax-Payers.
A few years since a Law was passed to the
effect that whenever our Legislature remained
in session more than one hundred days, the pay
of the members should be reduced to one dollar
and a half. This Law was intended to limit
the sessions to one hundred days—long enough
to do all the Legislation required by the People.
In 1817, when the Whigs had a majority in the
Legislature the session ended on the 16th cf
Tfarck;iell the hitsinegs being done. This year
the Locofocos had a majority in both branches,'
and Afitini chartered batiks enough to supply a
generation with bank rags, dreated all kinds of
monopolies, and squandered the hundred day's in',
granting special privileges to the feW, and con
cocting political schemes, they shoW their tier
disregard of the interesei Si the Tai-payers, by
VOTING THEMSELVES THREE DOL
LARS A DAY for all the time uselessly spent
over one hundred days! This is the Locofoco
reform promised to the People ! It is perfectly
characteristic however. The spoils is the main'
feature in the Locofoco creed. And he who can
,manage to secure the largest amnant of public
'money, is considered the most efficient member
of the party:
Tfie Cuban' Expedition.
The ;Yew York Sun makes solar further dis
closures in reference to the expedition for the
invasion of Cuba. The whole force is on its
war. The point of landing is to be either at
the fele of Noes, a small Island on the southern
side of the western end of Cuba, or Baracoa, a
small port on the eastern extreme—the com
mander to make selection between the two
when all fhe vessels shall have met at their
rendezvous. The object of landing at Baracoa
is to make an easy conquest of St. Jagode Cuba,
the capital of the Island.' The whole Spanish
force on the Island is stated at 20,000, but of
these about 10,000 will be kept at Havana, and
it is thought impossible for more than 3,000 to
concentrate at any point away from their fortfess
es. The San calculates that 1,000 Americans
will be more than a match for ally 5,000 Span
iards, and also thinks that Gen. Lopez's pops
larity will cause some defection among the
Spanish troops. We shall hear more soon.
New Ranking House:
In another column will be found the advertise
ment of a New Banking House in Hollidays
burg of lehich Mr. R. R. BRYAN is Cushier.
The Hollidaysburg Register in noticing the new
House says: Mr. Bal.cv, (formerly Agent of
the .Farmer's Bank of Lancaster" in this place,)
has associated With him a number of other
capitalists, and opened a Banking House at the
old stand, opposite the lost Office. The former
Institution was eminently useful in improving
the currency of (he neighborhood, and if the

of Mr. Ball.
The special committee appointed by the House
of Representatives to investigate certain charges
against Gideon J. Ball, the late State Treasurer,
reported at length on Tuesday last. The report
of the Committee is unanimous, and fiilly
exonerates Mr. Ball from :thy Virdtig iirtiteed
ing in the discharge of his duty.
The report is honorable in the highest degree
to Mr. Ball, and must enable him to retire from
office with feelings of the proudest satisfaction.
The investigation has resulted not only in his
entire acquittal from all the charges preferred
against him, but in securing him the most decided
testimonials of approbation from his political
opponents. His efforts Wrote the laborer from
a vitiated currency, and his earnest desire to
cherish the credit df the Cdirimonwealth, are
both affirmed by the unsnittrods feport of the
committee; and though it vrBs hot strictly with
in their province to p'ass judgment upon his
labors generally, they have, throughout their
report, given evidence of their conviction that
he disChnited these intelligently, I . 4iscej,' earn
estly, and with an unselfish regard to the interests
committed to his charge.
The tenstia 4 Bill.
On the 13th inst., in the Senate, Mr. Davis,
from the Select Committee on the census bill,
reported back the House amendments with
amendments, proposing concurrence in some,
and disagreements in others, along with which
he designated a new section adopted by the
House, fixing the future number of members of
the House of Representatives.
; the Ceitifilen) members strenuously oppose
every provision in the bill, having thr its abject
an exhibit of the productive industry of the
country; apprehending, no doubt, as they well
may, that the peculiar institutions of the South
will present but a meagre exhibit when compa
red with the enterprise, skill and productive free
liitor of the North.
Death of the lion. Jai. #ower.
lion. J.tmes M. POWER, whose health far
some months has been rapidly declining, died at
the residence of his Sister in Allegheny city, on
the 12th inst. lie was on his return home from
the South, Whither he had gone with the hope of
improving his health, and at our last previous
accounts had reached Lodisville, where he was
obliged to suspend his journey. Mr. Power was
in the prune of manhood, his age being but 35,
and enjoyed the friendship and esteem of a large
circle of personal and political friends.
The Cabinet,
Various false rumors having been set afloat
by letter writers from Washington, with regard
to a dissolution of the Cabinet, the National In
telligencer of Tuesday sets them at rest in an
nouncing semi-officially that the Cabinet will
remain as it now is for the present. The Intelli
gencer says—“We now therefore state, on the
authority of the President, that he lends no
countenance to any attempt, from whatever
quarter it comes, to disturb or unsettle his ad
ministratiOn, as it is. All the statements or
inferences tti the contrary are utterly without
foundation."

Correspondence of the lirnting(lon Journal
HARRISBURG, May 17, 1870
D'u. CLARK:—At last that august body, the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, !rave adjourned.
One Anndred ,zPid thirty
.five days of ig ressivn,
have just closed. 'l'K 'longest session known
for fifteen years; and 'You, 'anti your readers, I
doubt not, will be glad to know that the labors
of Judi a body have at length concluded.
When they first assembled, a majority in both
houees against the Present State Executi . ve, came
filled with hope, and exulting in their power,
(nrerxerirally) to do as they pleased. The ;Un
principled and the ambitious- - -L•great and tinaM.—
boasted of Therr s determinatiOn to "head Gover
i nor Mister)." They had the will and they
avowed their determination to find a way. The
result of their labors can be best kn'own by an
answer to "what have they done"? Well then,
generally, they have reVidered themselves noto
rious for reckless legiatatron, and a total disre
gard of all the characiciistics of fairness and
honesty. A feW bbd bold men, led the way,
while the snililter, though equally vicious spirits,
emulated their infamy; and with them, united to
scourge the "weaker brethren" into their mea
sures, while to the professingly conscientious,
they held up the fear of party banishment unless
they submitted to their dictation. Never has
the truth of the proverb, "though hand, jiAn in
hand, the wicked shall not go unpiinislied;" b'een
more signally demonstrated; than id' thelf Site.
Ichabod is written do Ihern'od e: pia* so far us
their Legislative echehes fie cdnceilled. Their
glory has itideed departed; rAicunk, is inscribed
on all their efforts . ; add IBettee, with her fear
ful wattd, htta iiiiteh (helm all back to their
kentieli.
Goitehtor JditNsvoN deserves from every
Penneylt•ariian warm, heartfelt gratitude, for his
calm and fearless defence of Pennsylvarda's honor
and interest. Aye, he deserves it and will re
ceive it. 'rile majority would have submitted
to the deep disgrace of cringing to southern
butretinge, and Spaniel-like licked the handrl
that smote them. Governor Johnston aftkined
all the hone.“ to a sense of right, and the lismiha
ting project expired in its nurses arms.
Again, with a determination of inTri l / 2 6se only
engendered by bitter hate, they commenced
scheming, Ur aliptirtion the state, so that the
party of Gov. Johnston should literally be
strangled; but this could only be done by a cal
lous thotightlessneas of official oaths, and a' cot,
tequent tramplitig upthi the rights of thinisands
of the tax payers. It was a price, it it true,
that only such as they, would be willing to pay.
It was the way, and without it they could not
succeed. Did they hesitate I no! they joined
hands to the bargain, and that "bill of wronks"
was passed. The veto message of the Governor
touched it, and bald, in its naked ugliness it
stood exposed. It has been spurned by its
progenitors—and its iniquity openly admitted.
Detected and defeated villisny is despised even
by the operators themselves; this was the fate
of the first apportionment bill.
Another was to be formed. Their will was
still the same, but the way was not. The Senate
killed the next—it wits still-born. Now fear
added a bitterness to their hatred. Threats
were now their only weapons; even revolution
and blood shed was hinted at by their Jack
Cedes. Defeat, like the demon of the thresh
hold, loomed up in the forward distance, and
how to arrest the impending fate, was their only
care. A bill was fdrnied in the Senate; mad.
dened, they struck it down in the Douse. Com
mittees of conference ,i'efe atiliointed; and the
reckleis bent every energy to prevent agree
ment. Four honest men, two of each party,
did agree; the Whigs sacrificing much td sate
Pennsylvania from impending- eVil. Nsi;u began
the work of sublirriatecl shame. Every machinery
of party was called intb'acthin to defeat the bill;
they triumphed, and the bill fell. "Chaos had
come again." The Whigs had done all they
could—morn than they ought—rind they woulddo
more. They had behaved so generously with
the other party they could proudly look back
upon their course, and find no citti'se If regiet i .
Their ralni upright coiiise conid not but win the
honest of any party. It did win the few honest
in the ranks of Loco Focoism. They moved to
reconsider the vote, and on Tuesday, when that
motion was before the House, the minority re-
vnitcd. Truth was about to deal them u death
blow. The majority demanded that this bill be
passed; it was as one sided Loco Foco as the
Whigs cettld he apeefed to submit to. The
minority knew but one ton to prevent it. There
Was only 92 members itt the House, and only 48
of them in favor of this bill. It required 51 votes
to make a qUorum. The tray was opened they
thought, and they refused to vote, but sat silent
in their seats when their names were called. As
;here was not a quorum voting, there was no
decision. The friends of the bill had called the
"previous question." Ito other motion was in
order, but to adjourn. Legislation was stopped
REVOLUTION FOR THE Tim. DEING One
whdlc afternoon was spent, and nothing done;
the motion to adjourn being lost, 18 to soiree
smaller number, generally, about 30. And the
vote on "shall the main queistion Co* be put"
being 48 ayesnays none. The hour of adjourn.
meet telieved {hem . at last. But the morning
call met them'. "Shall the main question now be
put?" They sew their disgraceful position; there
was no escape. If they refused to' vote they
could never get tokaY; shriwd as was thcii hap
it caught themselves. To FAIL thus Wei too
bad. Fate had put her finger on flieril and they
saw it. With a crab-like loco motion, they
backed out, almost blushing at their own itn
potent meanness and public dishaziOr; and the
majority triumphed—the bill was carried.
Governor Johnston signed the apportionment
bill, but accompanied the bill with a short mes
sage, assigning his reascns for approiing it to
be, not that the bill was just to the people of his
part*, but because he saw no hope of saving the
pockets Ofthe tax payers, and perhaps the State,
from anarchy and dissolution.
It was like enchantment. The clouds cleared
from every brow. "Homeward bound:" beam.
ed trent cvrry eye. A motion to adjourn on
IVednesday at 12 o'clock ; was hurried through.
The storm of paper balls gathered thicker in
the noose—all was good nature with the excep
tion of khe "trtterend" leders and their pain
sites—it was truly a bitter end to them. The
Legislattire shoot to adjoarn and "Bill Johnston"
not headed. 1t seas a sorrowful hour.
, .
' The Whigs hove done nobly; they haveearned
a rich reward by their fidelity to the cause of
the country, and your member Col. CORNYM
was always found in his seat, ready to stand by
this measure of the Session. Firmness was all
that was needed; and our friends were firm. And
finally, by their hottest purposes, forced some
thing like a fair apportionment bill from their
political opponents.
I close this my last letter for the season, and
bid you and your readers a kind farewell for
the present.
