HAnitiHDi'RO, Pa., Mar. 13, 1W5 I'M i lor Post : ' The IIouho Rot down to work in good ('Anient ou Monday evening ami kept up n lively pace during the week, The resolution, fixing the 25th of April as the date for final adjourn ment, is lying ou tho table. No one, or nt least very few expect to Ret swat Ijv Unit time. Bill are brine introduced every day and as long as they tun coining in to load down tho ulrcadv burdened calendar thorn in littlo prospect of gel ting away before tuo crow h appetite is whetted by the hiirout inir corn. The introduction of bills may bo denied nfter next week, n matter which is absolutely necessary in or der that the work may be properly sybteinatized and inspected. In or- der that the luisiness mav bo more vigorously pushed, threo sessions will bo hel 1 etch day instead of two. St ?rr in Ciimmittti'. There is boiiie talk of tho appoint ment of a Steering Committee whose duty it would bo to sift the calendar of all ushohs and trashy bills nnd direct legislation in general. One groat objection to the appointment of such a committee is the fact that almost every member that has a bill on hlo deems it of suflicient merit to roceivo tho endorsement of tho House, and consequently would be opposed to entrust the judgment of the House into a committee of three or five persons. As for myself I pre for to do my own stoeriug. Dr. Warron'a Bird Book got it in the neck. . Dr. Warren was again disappoint ed in not deriving the G.'. .uor'a approval of the bill, providing for the publication by the State for gra tuitous distribution of 21, (KM) copies of Ins valuable work on tho birds and mammals of Pcnnsvlvaiiia. l)r Warren is recognized ns one of the leading ornithologists of thocountry and many will regret that tho rove nues of tho state would not permit tin necessary expenditure of money to publish tho book at this time. Tho (iovernor has tho following to s i.v in explanation of his veto : "Notwithstanding tho popularity and value of tho work and the (mi. eral demand inado upon me, espec ially by tho farming people of tho State, to sign tho bill, I am of the opinion that in tho present condi tion of financial and business affairs it is not economy to expondt his sum oi money for such purpose: This pro posed edition, valuable and popular as it would bo, can bo dispensed with, and 1 place tho withholding of uiy approval upon tho ground that tho finances of the State will not warrant the expenditure of the mon- ill ... ey at mo present tune. Under the plan of distribution about hfty copies would have boon allotted to each member, scarcely a sumciont number to make a start Persons will know, of course, why thero will bo no "Bird Books" to distribute this yoar. Qua Count;. iuo wary junior United States honator is to bo honored in a way that does not appear to be extreme ly acceptable to him if newspaper reports count ior anything. A new county, is to be carved out of Mmi o? Luzerne nnd Schuylkill counties winch is to bo culled Quay. Tho bill has been favorablv ft,Minst the piofest .f n emit mim- b -r of people from that section nud rumor has it that it may puss. A week ago Hoveral hundred "No Now C.Minty" men appeared beforo tho committee to protest. Tho Compulsory Bill passed tho House. Tho bill, compelling ntteud il'ieo at school of children between tho litres of eight nnd thirteen years t)V sixteen weeks inn year, passed tho House finally on Tuesday. Several speeches wero made ajainst its piiesiigo although only thirteen otes were recorded in the negative, tho democrats refrained from voting. Beforo the voto was taken a littlo Acvaptook place botween Lytle of Huntingdon, who had been called the Tipo Line Bill. This bill was to the chair by speaker Walton and commented upon by the leading I'ow, tho windy Democrat from pnpers nil over tho Stale and the Philadelphia. Dilatory measures general sentiment appeared to bo had been resorted to nfter which that the oil ind.nfrv should not be someone moved tho previous que, disturbed bv legislation. We voted tion which was carried. At this acrainst this bill, be lieving lhat bv so point Mr. Fow moved that tho bill doing wo would best serve the poo be recommitted to tho Committee pie and wo are not sorry tin nppro on Education. Mr. Lytlo ruled that vnl of the Governor nofwithstand i.oth.ng wai in order but the calling ig. Among other things tho Gov- Vi . . . , , i(,rm,r K'Vf" the following reasons Mr. l ow insisted on his motion for signing the bill. "It would seem . -I..IUU, snouting: i Know that when a new oil field is opened.

To permit the act of AfterTHREE MONTHS of Daily Wear desk. Mr. Lvtle waxed warm, irrew red. pounded the dosk vigorously, and ordered the clerk to continue the roll call. The vote was taken amid great confusion. A similar bill wan passed at two previous sessions and it was fated to co through this time. Your corresnondent voted acrainst tho measure for the following reasons: 1. "Freo attendance upon free schools seems to most befit a free people." '2. Investigation convinces me that such a law is most difficult to en force, particularly in agriculture i;ommuuitics: X Secretaries of school boards are mainly burdened with tho responsi bility of its enforcement. I. Tho law enforced niicht work hardships on persons who arc least able to bear lliein. Tho same amount of money an energy necessary to make tho law operative would if tluected to the strengthening and intensifying o tho system as wo now have it, bo productive of us much good. The Smith Garb Hill. The bill, prohibiting teachers em ployed in our public schools from wearing any garb, einbloni, or in signia indicative of their adherence to any church or creed, was cnlloi up on second reading and after con siderablo opposition passed on second readiutr. It was denounced by Mr. Seyfert of Lancaster county as tho most vicious, atrocious, out rageous. ami un-American measure ever introduced " Ifo donlorail that a creat inunr nrotV' tits worn peculiar garbs, that it wan a direct blow amunst LhA Itnmnn I 'n Minim phurch but at the same time affected ine Menomtos, Hermans, Baptists, Quakers. Dunkards. and Schweuk- felters all of whom are of the host citizens in tho Commonwealth. Thero is a pronounced Bontimont in favor of tho bill and unless all signs fail ic will pass tho House finally. Tho New Jersey Senate defeated a similar bill a few days ago, but I don't believe that tho Pennsylvania Senate will do likewise. Tho bill nbolishing tho December registry passed tho Houso with one vote to spare. I hopo that it will pass tho Sonate. It is in tho lino of of economy by removing an expense o($ M or $:iK) for which there is scarcely any return. Tho bill abolishinc tho office of Jury commissioners and tho one providing for cxnousos of directors in attendance at the triennial con vention to elect a county supcrin tcudont, were defeated. Jhiurlasa Memorial &.rlt.a. A societ y of colored citizens held memorial services in honor of Fred erick Douglass in the House of Re presentative on Thursday niht. J number of speeches, eulogistic of the dead hero, wero delivered bv " colored orators. Douglass was nerbans the most distinguished of his race. He was tho Moses to his people on their march from bondage to frAi1nm and tho nation has had few men who exhibited more self-sacrifice and de votion to duty than was shown by this man, nn orator, a philanthro pist. Ouav visita tha Irimemnr Senator Quay came to the eilv. cull. od on the Governor, and hied him self away before the smaller states men hud an opportunity to pay their respects. Of course every one has a difloreut opinion as to the results of tho couforenco. A number of Phila. appointments are pending and it is apparent that the Martin-Porter combine is compelled to fight for every inch of disputed ground. . enroso with his daughty Durham are n match to their skillful fr he Philadelphia Republicans riin'f. ullord to quarrel but if they must tight I venture to say that there will be some lively, ficimmacrea lmfa tho battle is over. Quay proposes to get to Harrisburg again about the first of April. Marshall J'ipe 7Ahe Itill A pproved. Contrary to the expectation of a great many, the Governor signed isa'J to remain upon the Rtatute books is to prevent non-paying and useless pipe line companies, or in dividuals owning pipelines from sell ing their stocks, their bonds or their corporate franchises to an v person m corporation that may be willing to buy them. "I am convinced, aftera hearing of both sides of this controversy, am upon the fullest investigation, that the effect of the act of 18S.J is direct. ly the reverse of its ostensible obieet. Instead of encouracim? competition and fostering the buildimr of pine lines to compete with each other, the fact that, when the property be comes unprohtnble. the owners are prohibited by law from selling it, must necessarily discourage iuves tors in such enterprises. All legislation, the tendency of which is to control, hamper or re strain individual enterprise, shoul in my opinion, bo closely scanned, and unless somo great public reason exists to the contrary, it is much better that all commercial enterpris es should remain unfettered Dr. B. I . ngcnseller came down to tho city last Wednesday. Ho said his visit had no political siirni ticauce. Tho Doctor however, is too sprightly yet to retire from the par ticipation in questions political. Mr. Pawiiii!.', of West Mill on, and his bride, who is the iiccomplishot daughter of our friend Prof. Win Moyer, of Freeburg, stopped off nt tho capitol city on their weddinc tour long enough to take in tho sights on the Hill. Tho writer took pleasure in escorting them through the diflurent departments. From heie they loft for Washington and other cities. C. W. H PORT TREVKRTON. Mil. Editor.
