Letter trom Harrisburg. llAiuusnruo, Pa., Jan. 2H, ISfij, Kditor Post: The week just closed in tho Legis lative work has been a forerunner of a spirited, und we may trust, a brief and prulitublo session to tho people of tho State, who expect to receive at the hands of tho co-ordinate branch es of the lawmaking bodies of the C'oiiiiiioiiweiilth, such forms of legis latum as will best subserve their whole interests. Tho most important Committee by far of any whose considerations ex cite the most attention, are subject to tho closest scrutiny, and are of the greutest significance concerning tho matters which the Legislature can pasB upon, was organized during the week, namely, the Committee on Appropriations. Representative l. l . m . t, i jiarHuai oi Aiiegueny county was made tho Chairman of this Commit tee, and from now on until tho close of the session it will sit several times each week for tho purpose of receiving and acting upon such sub jects as may concern the appropria tion of moneys, by the Legislature, to the objects of proper State care. A full and detailed account of the scope, magnitude, and general work of this Committee, would well in vile the careful and experienced ef forts of tie mIiIo-.? member of this body, ami later on in tho session, your member may devote a letter to this Mibject. Suffice it to say, now, that Ii" will oudeavor zealously to gum ii, so far as lies in his power, the iiitt ii sis of his constituents on the subject of appropriations, be lieving they hliould b applied only with I lie greatest discrimination and prudence, always being kept within the legitimate and economical chan nels directed by tho universal wish of the peoplo of tho State. A somewhat novel incident in con nection with tho history of tho past week here was tho arrival of Sir. John O'Vailand Mr. Andrew John, wo lineal descendants of the famou a Seneca Indian Chief, Cornplaoter, who hvrd early in the present cen tury e.nd was a very prominent fig ure during the latter quarter of tho last century, in the northwestern section of Pennsylvania. These two sons of the forest came down here rotn their reservation in Catarragns couuty, Now York state, where they have two thousand people living un der tho protection of the federal gov eminent, to present to the Pennsyl vauia Legislature a claim to 15'K) acres of land situate in the north west ern part of the State, near where Oil City is built. They allege, upon the authority of the records in the Land Department here, that in con sideration of the valuable assistance he rendered the general government during the revolutionary struggle and after, and on account of his constant friendly attitude toward the whites, the state of Pennsylvania through Thomas Mifflin, then gov crnor, conveyed to Cornplantcr and his heirs at law forever, titlo to 1500 acres of land in the locality describ ed and that in 1818 they lost such legal title in exchange for wildcat money and they now desire the State to re imburse them to the ex tent of their loss. The Committee on Judiciary gen eral gave Mr. O'Vail, a tottering In dian Chicftian of 80 years, respect ful attention whilo he addressed them eloquently and earnestly in be half of his claim. He spoke in his native tongue, emphasizing his re marks by gestures, Mr. John inter prcting the speech as it was deliver od. Having no legal status, the Legislature could not, of course, do any thing to remody the loss, the only relief being in an equitable pro ceediug and Mr. O'Vail was gener ously offered $10.0l with which to take himself and companion back homo to Now York. Prof. J. T. Itothrock, Chief of the Forestry Commission gave n highly interesting descriptive talk, on Thursday evening last in the Hall of the House of Representatives, on the forest of tho State, illustrating his remarks by means of the store opticon. This is a subject which should receive proper and vigorous legislative attention, as our splendi timber tracts are being rapidly de pleted, being cut down annually at the rate of 300,000,000 feet, we rank ing second to Michigan in the pro duction on the market of serviceable timber, that state being the first in the Union and according to Mr. lotiroclr, thla'U by., no means the greatest loss sustained, for the de- sti uc ion of bridges, by floods, de vaotaiion of crops, washing of bill sides and damages resulting from floods, because our mountain sides aro stripped of trees, has footed up into the millions within a few years and he argues that the timber shoul be left alone as a protector of our homes and property. Col. A. K. McClure of the Phila delphia Times will deliver his ad dress to the Legislature on Wednes day of this week, on'The Life and Character of Andrew Q. Curtin." Dr. E. W. Tool, of Freeburg, was in tho City during the sessions of the Agricultural Association. The Doctor's friends here were pleased to see him. The Doctor read a paper on Teaching Vocal Music in our Public Schools, and if the legislature should make the teaching of it com pulsory we will soon revel in a con tinuous ecstacy of song. Gov. Hastings presided during several sessions of the Farmers' meetings He seems to feel perfectly at home with horny-handed sons of toil. He took a jaunt to New York over Sun day to escape the importunities of the officers seekers. Ex. Gov. Pat tison will not become Mayor of Philadelphia if the opinion of the men here on the Hill count for any thing. He has been fortunate in his political career but 8fi,000 ma jority in the great city of Philadel phia may prove a stumbling block to his present political star. No im portant bills have yet passed far e nough to pass upon their fate. In my next letter I will have something to say about Compulsory Educa tion, Poor Houso Question, Forestry Rill, etc. O. W. II.
