A fartieal attack upon - Queen Victoria
was
was made - by a hare-brained Irish Fenian
last Thursday i nt the gate ,of Buckingham
Palace. The story,.as told oiliciaify, in the
House of Lords, is that as the Queen was
returning from a drive, her carriage wag
stopped by a.young Man who :-Preiented - ti -
pistol within a foot of her head: The Queen
bent down to avoid the shot, but_.the pistol
did not explode. The young _man, who
gives his name a's O'Connor, held in one
hand somd,papers granting a - :release_ to the
Fenian prisoners, which he shouted to her
to Sign, threatening her life if she did not.
Of course the rascal was at once" seized by
the:attendants when it -was ;omit ,that the
pistol was unloaded, and 'that it was of such
prfmitive construction -that if it had been
loaded it probably Could not have been dis
charged. . There was great excitement in
London over the atlitir, and the papers speak
of it as an attempt to assasSinate; but we
don't see -under - the' circutnstanees how a
t very dangerous assault is to be shown, much
le - ss an attempt to kill. Inithe end the ex
ploit will have to be set down as a peculiarly
Irish way of presenting a petition. ,
Last week Tuesday was'-devoted by the
rulers of the British kingdom : to a Costly'
and striking pageant intended to stimulate.
the waning loyalty of the,average Briton.
It was the day : set apart: for public thanks
giving for the re - cent recovery of the Prince
of Wales. Of course the show was u bril
liant one, and attracted the attention not
only of all England, but of tilt:, whole of
christendom.i: pc:spectacle of a. - city like
London giving itself up for one 'whole-day
and night to a grand national celebration,
is striking enough at 'tiny 'time; but when:
we add the immense throng of curious
strangers, the houses profusely decorated in
blue and gold by day and brilliantly Mimi
! nated at nieht;,the costly ; triumphal arches
1 spanning- the Most Celebrated streets; the
solemn procession of theCourt,with all the
-trappings of EngratursroyaltY and escorted
; by the flower of her armies, from the Pal
ineeto St. 'Paul's; 'tile :sofernic' fie Peum in
the great . Cathedral sung, by a ilionster,
chorus of picked voices!' before tite•-royal
and noble blood and all the magnates of the
lantiv the _sermon. by . the Archbishop of
Canterbury; the thunder of saluting Can
non; the joyous clamor of, the bells, and the
hearty cheers of the crowds; -we have such
a show as the world does not often look up
on, and one well calculated to assure John
Bull that he is getting the worth of his mo
ney in the monarchy, expensive as Sir Chas.
Dilite has shown it to be. Whether the im
pressiOn Will be lasting is more - dobut ful.—
There _are' numerous signs' that- - England
will some day—not soon, however—diimisi
her royal rulers and becofilearepUblic, and
this costly pageant. Will not postpone that
day much. There is ono 'doubt that the ma
jority of Englishmen are now loyal ,to the
present Government, but it is. a loyalty.
which ti fil yield to multiplication table - -
and the shrinking bank account.
..*, The Special Legislative Nuisance.
There will be plenty of work to, engage
the attention ,of the State Constitutional
Convention whenever it meets; but it seems
to us there is none more necessary to be
thoroughly done than the extirpation, root
and branch, of that great jungle of special
legishition in . which: we are 'all now entan
gled. Much attention has been given to the
subject, and not a little has been said by the
press and by p.ublie'ruen in condemnation of
the vicious system, and we had hoped, be
cause of this general_ Irrsingarwao. 119011 C
opinion, that the present session of the Leff
islature would show some A batement of the
nuisance. But all such hopes were vain.-=-
Oui buSiness requires us each Week to wade
through the record of the proceedings ofi
both houses, and we find, thein going on in
the same old evil way, so that *hide col
umns of the Harrisburg pipers are filled
with - such inspiring and highly important
announcements as this: " Mr. Collins in
troduced a bill entitled A further supple-
ment to an act to incorporate the Mineral.
Spring coal company.' " We . gather from
'this that 'some previous Legislature, wasted
more or less time and talent In the passage
_of a'special aet to incorporate this precious
coal Company; but the lob turned out a
botch, and the next Legislatur.e tried to fix
it 'op by wasting . more time over a supple
ment to that act. But even then the affair
wouldn't hold water, and so the present body
of assembled wisdom must waste still more
of the public time and money in the effort
to tinker it by a " further supplement."
Here is another exhilirating extract from
the same day's proceedings: "Mr.-Randall
introdpced a bill entitled. An act to vacate
a part of Third street in the borough of
Pottsville." Reader, just picture to your-
self the Legislature of the great State of
Pennsylvania wrestling and. sweating over
the stupendous question whether the Worthy
citizens of the Tillage - named for, Potts—
happy Potts!—shall be forced to pay taxes
for the grading of their
_beautiful suburban
avenue ycleped Third' street clear up to, Tim-'
othy Mahoney's barn, or only so far up as
Dennis MTlaberty's pig pen. And remem
ber, too,' that when the matter is settled, it
probably won't stay settled; but that next
year we shall read of somebody introducing
a bill entitled "A supplement to an act to
te," &c., and after that of " A further
salaiietnent." Now, we have no prejudice
rip inct Potts, nor yet against his village.—
Tr may be the " loveliest village of the
plith • or the hills either, for aught we know.
1:. it right, for all that,—*e appeal to
Poi t: his self—is it right that the three mill
ion- and a-half of people of this State should
be to pick out their leading men, and
at frre it: trouble and expense elect them Sen
ators and Representatives: tear them from
did v. ices and babies at home and7pack
theni ail to that dreary city of Harrisburg,
whet e they are liable to fall victims to diar
rhea (1r ennui—where even the water. is not
Et to drink, to say nothing of the whisky—
and lit up's39,ooo rooms for them to meet•
in,—k it right, we say to do all this just to
determine whether a part pf Third street in
Pottsville shall be vacated or
.not? more es
pecially as not one-half 'of them ,ever saw
the place, and those
-who have couldn't tell
where , Third street la to save ! their political
lives.- We .have heard . of shooting hum,
Yrilligiitiirds with six-pounders, and of drifting
• 'a
-with-razors, but we-never-heard-of a
more ridiculounmisapplicatiOn of means to
ends than in this-,exe.
. But worthy of ridicule. es th,e..subjeot, is,
it is really no laughing matter to the people
of the State. This system. 4:4 special legis:

are specified in the house proceedingsd—
Mr. White said the rewlittion was intro
duced at - the request . of State Treasurer
Mackey. Itir. Bilekitlew thought this was a
matter for the HMSO. He did not under
stand how the Senate had anYthing to do
with it. Put if either of these officers came
before the Senate and asked for an invests_
gation,,lie,should vote for it: Mr. Strang
said that when the 'real author of these
charges ; George O. Evans, recovered suffi
ciently to , testify before the committee of
. which Mr. Graham was chairman, he should
be prepared to vote for this resolution. He
thought it was merely frittering away time
:
to talk of an investigating committee before
any charges had been made by any respect
able citizen or respectable newspaper of the
Commonwealth. .Mr., Billinafelt moved.
that the whole matter' be referred to the
George 0. Evans investigating committee.
His amendment was adopted by a vote of
18 to 10, and the resolution as amended was
limn passed. A long discussion took place
on a proposition to extend the time for hear
ing Willa Gray-M'Clure case, and to allow
the committee to sit in Philadelphia, and it
was finally settled that they should be al
lowed,.to meet for the ensuing four days in
that city. A joint resolution was passed
appropriating $7,000 to pay the expenses of
the committee. In the House Mr. Cooper
made 'a personal explanation. He said a
dispatch had appeared .in the' New York
2 1 / 1 2 , U218 of the 28th saying that he (Cooper)
had endeavored to introduce resolutions into
the Legislature charging Auditor General
Hartranft and State Treasurer Mackey with
having unlawfully speculated in the funds
of the State. The facts are these: On the
19th of February he had been sent for,. at
the Lochiel Hotel, and introduced by one of
his constituents to George 0. Evans, to his
attorney, and to Dr. Payne. These parties
had asked himlo present certain resolutions
to the liou'se, i tind had promised, if he com
plied, to make im notorious before the pub.
lie, claiming t sat they had special facilities
for so doing. lifluiy said that they could
•
'mike any man famous who would introduce
kuelk resolutions. l'He (Cooper) had exam
ined their papers, and at once made up his
mind that their object was to obtain an off
set to the investigation now pending against
Evans,. or else to compel the State Treasurer
and Auditor General to settle the State claim
against Evans. He refused to present the
resolutions, and communicated the facts to
Auditor General Hartranft, who declared
that the whole thing was in • his opinion in
effort to "pinch" the Commonwealth; that
the State had offered to settle on the basis of
the Dauphin County Court,' viz: $100,000;
that over $50,000 had been offered by the
Evans party, but that the State Treasurer
and himself could not see their way clear
I...—vs:ept lets th, env amount ctetignated
by the'Court. The dispatch in•the Tramne
was false, rind doubtless instigated by men
bent on revenge. The presence of Evans
in New York might perhaps account for its
appearance.' Mr. M'Connell said Dr. Payne
had come to him with a letter of introduc
tion, and had asked him to present the res
olutions reflecting on Hartranft -andlfack
ey. He had refused to do so because he --
was a member of the committee to investi
gate the alleged Evans defalcation. The
matter was then allowed to drop. The li
quor question was then taken up, and a gen
eral local option law was substituted for the
Illinois law : then before the House, by a vote
of 65 to 27. A bill was Paised relative to_
the election of Auditor and Surveyor Gene
ral. The local option bill was again taken up,
and . passed by 60 yeas to 84 nays, after-be
lug amended so as to authorise the people
of each city, township, and borough to vote
once every three years whether licenses shall
be granted or not.
OUR WASRECGTOIff LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Feb ; 26, 1872.
stotE INVESTIGATION WANTED.
Now that the Conkling amendment to' the
proposed sale of arms investigation has pass
ed the Senate, requiring an investigation
into the conduct of Senators, it will be op-
portune to have an explicit statement from
Senator Trumbull regarding a contract of
his with President Johnson, by which he
appears to have violated the law and pock
eted $lO,OOO just prior to giving his vote to
save his liberal friend from imyeachment.
Mr. Johnson employed Mr. Trumbull as
counsel in the cases ex parte, 3l'Cardle and
the State of Georgia against Geo. G. Meade
and others in the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, agreeing to pay him a fee of ten
thousand dollars for his services in said case.
Such a contract for services was a direct vi
olation of the law by both the parties to the
contract, the law of April 21, 1808, section
two, making it a misdemeanor punishable
-by a fine of $3,000 for any member of Con
gress to enter into any suclF -- Coutract with
any United States officer, and section five of
the same act making it a misdemeanor for
any • er to make such a contract.
That such a tract was made there is
not a shadow of don , : the evidence of
it can be found by any com Ri ishing
to see it. It is not known that Mr.
bull rendered - any positive or valuable ser
vice in those eases before the court, but Mr.
Johnson was a liberal paymaster, and did
not hesitate on that account to pay over the
money. It wasTaid as follows: .
✓
March 7, 1868.....4.,
April 10, 0 ..... t
April 23, "
By referring to the dates It will he seen
that those payments were made during the
pendency of the impeachment trial, and all
within about two months of the day the
vote was taken on impeachment in the Sen
ate.
The country knows how Mr. Trumbull
voted to acquit the man who had been so
liberal toward hint In the above printptpt.".
If the Senate of the United States is really
desirous of ferreting otit official misdemean
ors, I submit that here is a good place to go
to work. By the law above cited the Sena
tor was guilty of a misdemeanor the pun
ishment of vilich is a fine of three thPll
4and dollars and the voiding of the con
tract. It 0 a fine opportunity to unmask
bypwrite, punish a crime, and cover

in the Cabinet to Col. John W. Forney.—
The President goes to Philadelphia to re

very much like his i t entering the Cabinet at'

adjourned until Wednesday next, I have an
opportunity of - fulfilling a promise which
has been neglected for some time. For the
first time in many I days there is quiet here;
even the Grays anii .M'Clures are still. The
members have gone' home to recruit their
health, receive th ' congratulations of their
constituents, and:
study Shakespeare and
Smull's hand-boo .
There has been inuch speculation over the
Gray-M'Clure case but the prevailing °pia
ion now is, that owing to a Democratic ma
jority on the committee M'Clure will get the
seat. Many have 'watched this contest with
interest, fearing shatit will much damage
the chances of ele l tipg Grant or some other
Republican President next fall. I don't
think this affair.will much influence the peo
ple next fall. 4rh ., -Republicans in the Sen
ate and House ha e treated this contest with
1
fairness from the beginning. The fact that
the committee selected to hear the contest
ants, under the billproposed, advocated, and
passed by the Republicans, has a Democrat
ic majority, is conclusive that the Republi
cans have treated the matter honestly. And
so far as the Republican party is concerned,
it makes little difference whether Gray or
M'Clure gets the seat. There is no dispute
but what M'Clure is as good a Republican
as Gray, and all he object the Democrats
can have in taidn so much interest in the
se iLthat they hope to show that the Re
pnblicans do
.siliff ballot boxes and club
away voters sometimes as well as the Dem
ocrats, and thereb' make a, hobby to ride

in showing that ycur neighbor is sometimes

If Gray retains hrieeat, no doubt M'Clure's
friends will howl, end organize more reform
clubs, and so will it be if M'Clure gets the

Judge Williams's chances are every day

been able to find any reason why he should n
not be nominated: His popularity with the
bench and bar is everywhere known and
talked about, and his acknowledged superi
ority over all other competitors will, it
seems, place him on the list.
,The delegates
from the northern tier of counties have but
to stand fast to their undisputed claims, and
they Avill get the nomination Which no lone
will deny they are entitled to, It is certain
that some man will be selected from the

Williams has the best claims,l and so far as

Mr. Sumner and the Aduilnistration.
.....
The, Boston Laity Advertiser, one of the
most Influential Republican journal's of
Massachusetts, thus comments upon'the re•
cent course of Mr. Sumner:
•
." From the storm which Mr. Sumner has
succeeded in raising, the impression hes
gone abroad that the Administration is ite
conspiracy for indiscriminate plunder,' and
that its friends in the Senate fire Icatouvato•
gerner to resist all inquiry for the truth. If
a stranger had walked into the Senate cham
ber while Senator Schurz was entertaining
the imposing audience which it is said as•
sembled to hear him, he would not have be
lieved that upon the main question offered
byMr. Sumner and-seconded by Mr. Schurz
there been no other objectO in view, Mi.
ii , tininer could have had on last Monday
yeek an immediate and a unanimous vote
iu fatebr of 'as broad and unlimited an in
quiry as he could have desired. He had
only to offer his resolution, Iwithout Coup
ling it with an insult, to have secured for it
the support of every - ,Senator who has the
slightest regard for the honni of. the Admin
tration or for his own credit. It was be
cause he insisted upon forcing a vote at the
same time upon portions of the evidence,
the value of which could only be, determine
ed by investigation, containing implications
of unlawful and dishonorable conduct on
the part of the Government, and calcitlated
in advance of any inquiry to diseredit the
Administration at home and to provoke
trust and suspicion abroad,—it wits for this
reason that the movement waSeledged at
the start, and challenged with effect.'
Sumner himself was not for a moment so
innocent as to believe that he could serious
ly, offer and defend, such a preamble without
throwing open the floodgates of discussion,
and putting Senators who do not; share - his
hostility to the Administration_Upon their
honor to defend lit. r I

' "In the course of the discussion the orig
inal grounds of suspicion urged by Mr.
Sumner have lost mitch of their force.' The
statements of the preamble have\ been re
stated again and again, with new and Inge
nious combinations, and Mr) Schurz has
adorned them with his versatil and 'some
times brilliant eloquence: B t as the dis
cussion went on it became a parent that
they could not. be sustained and 'wouldt
-hardly be allowed to come . to a vote. 1 Ant
we are not suiprised that Mr. Su ner should
have desired at last to withdraw the pream
ble after so much light had been town up
on it. Whatever the ultimate results of the
debate may be, it has thus far furnished not
the shadow of a pretext for withdrawing
the great, confidence to which; - for reasons
rising far above the issues of this debate,
the Government is entitled at the hands of
