Indiscreet, we think it must be evident to

Inconveniences and dangers of our present

furnish ample proof of the necessity of a
Prompt and radical change. We publish in

settlement of those questions could affect

or exhibition of party prejudices on this

young Ring Amadeus announced his abdi

uncomfortable, and on Tuesday the Corte•
adopted a republican form, of government
by a vote of 238 to 82. The next day it
ected Figueras ?resident of the Council,
with a full set bf pubinet Ministers, Caste
lar, the eminett orator, being Minister of
Foreign Affairs. The new President, site►
his erection, made an address in which he
promised that the Spanish people should hi
the future have the utmost freedom in the
choice of their rulers and representatives.

Be read telegrams from the provinces show

preserved. He hoped ,the Republic would

nations would not be slow to follow Spaint,e

new Republic well; but our fears exceed
our hopes in this case. The Spanish nation
seems even less fitted for self-government
than the French.
The President last :week vetoed&pother
bill passed by Congress to reimbursa loyal
citizens for property destroyed by military
operations during the rebellion. .His rea'

It seems that the Territorial Legislature has
been allowed to regulate \ the selection of ju

'and to confer criminal jurisdiction and the
power to issue writs of habeas corpus on
the local probtite courts. The result has
been that the United States courtshave been

or provides for the punishment of polygamy

President says it is feared that if Congress
mourns without action on the subject, tur

that to avoid this calamity we . ltad better

is an economical and htMest adMinistration
of public affairs; and to relieve that section
of its present financial burden by outside
aid, is certainly just the way not to secure
such an administration. Besides, the public
credit of that section would be quite as ef•
fectually impaired by the proposed ft.)sump

of its obligations, a large part of which
has been fraudulently contracted. We don't

but little agreement as' to , how-this reform
Isbell be eflected. , Only in this does general
sentiment coincide—that the present electo
ral system is cumbersome, :complicated, nn
suited to the demands of the lige; ax - 1 at all
times and under all circumstances it is
fraught with danger to the peace of the Re
public. • ,
As was suggested - in innumerable quarters
to-day, not only, is the joint gOritteetion :
self Rtisatisfactory, ; ;as wei).na. the: rules by
which it is= govnined, but •in';_clisti• of • close
Presidential ednteets; 'cases 'like', these 'of
Louisiana and Arkansas,- TeXas, Mississip
pi, and Georgia, could not hie decided with
out bloodshed. The pops lar 'impression
was that the ((minting of the electoral votes
would proceed smoothly until-'the _State of
Louisiana was reached. Everybody under
stocid there were two sets of , electors from
that State, and it was known: that 'but one
'of them could he admitted. .It - had been
whispered around thathotliwoudd be thrown
out, and them again it, was' stated„ that the
Louisiana delegation in torigresa•Would re
sist any such proceedings. -People who
were present and rememberetfthe scene that
took place four years ago, on a similar oc
casion, about the electoral vote =of 'the State
of Georgia, half expected; half hoped for a
repetition of that - excitement. An unex
peeled pause, however, - was - made before
Louisiana' was;reached.' When the vote of
Georgia was innounccd by- the tellers as
having been cast for Horace Greeley, Mr.
boar, of Massachusetts, who- of all other
men in the assemblage reminds the specta
tor most of the great-journalist, arose and'
objected to its being received on the ground
that the electors could not vote for a dead
man. There was a perceptible sensation
when Mr. Hoar concluded his objection.—
Perhaps few, if any, apprehended that such
an objection would be made. The only
thing to be done was for the Senate to retire
to its chamber to decide the question, brit
before the presiding officer Made this order
it was agreed by unanimous consent that
the case of Georgia should be passed over
informally.

As soon as her vote was announced Senator

prJperty at the County, louse and farm this year e!:-
eeeds that or last year $127 &3. The Superiuteridaft
has paid into the county 'Treasury ,5162, 6Q received
for prodmie seld.
.I.l,te,price charged the several - townships - per week
or board of paupers Is one dollar., ninety-one cents.
alt rail% and two-thirds of a Mill, which includes tr.-
erything furnished them—food clothing, medicine.
Sc., and fifty dollars paid a chaila:n for holding rel.'s-
Mlle services on Sunday, -
There have been 73 paupers at the County House
during the year, averaging over 49 for the whole time.
Taey are mostly aged, infirm,
and Insane, aud
consequently but little help is received from them,
Wit, on the contrary, the'expense of waiting on'them
Is no small item. .
The Superintendent Is entitled to much praise for
hie 81.1C.VSS in the mnnagemi•nt of the County Eouse
and Mao the farm, Which bids lair to become the pre
mini fttnn in the county.
• The cost of keepiug our insane at Harrisburg and
Danville .s t 3 per week, and the bills are paid itt ad
vance up to June,
1873. The Commissioners would be
of e . discontinuauce of the separate accounts
‘vith tto townships. Making the poor a county charge
would remove tease for much mtiunderstanding.
We, the Commissioners of Tioga county, do certify
toe fo..egolog to be a correct statement or the receipts
tad expencittures therein sot forth. In testimony
whereof we hereunto set our hands and seals of value
this 2ath day of January, 1873. .-
