The tramp bill has received the Big nature of the Governor, and the meas ure Is now the law- of the State of Penn sylvanla, taking effect the 15th day of August, nest. Discussing the causes of the depression In English trade, the Pall Mall Gazette remarks that the substitution of steel for Iron by the Bessemer process, and still more by the elimination of phos phorus from the Cleveland ores (now positively accomplished) is a revolution as great as followed upon the Inventions of Crompton and Arkwright. It means, most probably, the total decay of the iron trade of North and South Wales, of Scotland, and of a large part of Stafford shire. In the end it will largely benefit England, but the transition Is full of suffering. If we could only give our own Legis lature such a send-off as the Massachu setts law-makers have received from the State press. They have cut down all the salaries beginning with their own department abolished a number of ofTices,consolidated several commissions, and taken a new start In the manage ment of charities and corrections, which will result in the still further diminu tion of the expense of their manage ment. They have also passed a consti tutional amendment providing for bien nial legislation, and reduced the State tax from a million to half a million. Lastly v they have gond home. Light on a Dark Subject. The Memphis Appeal, a Democratic paper, gives some light on the subject of the Negro exodus. We quote the fol lowing from that paper : The Incendiary teachings of the Bour bon press and politicians have furnished in great part the material now feeding the emigration movement that so alarms the planters of the Mississippi Valley. These presses aud politicians have taught only bitterness. They marked for social proscription all who refuse to submit without question to their partisan guid ance. This became a partisan creed. The brunt of their denunciations fell on the colored people. The lawless classes were but too ready to begin the dastard ly work of persecution. They found it a certain means of suppressing the bal lot. They inaugurated reigns of terror, shot and killed where shooting became necessary, and so preyed on the fears of the unprotected blacks as to practically disfranchise them in every locality where the bulldozing programme was adopted. And the Bourbon presses and publications, instead of demanding pro tection for all classes under the laws, pronounced all charges falsehoods, and at least Indirectly encouraged the das tards to further deeds of violence. This is the truth, and the truth should be told. N A Religious Lunatio Kills His Child. Boston, May 2nd. Full particulars from the Pocasset (Mass.) tragedy state that Freeman, the mail carrier at Pocas set between the railroad station and the post-office, woke his wife at 3.30 o'clock on Thursday morning, and told her that be must make a sacrifice to the Lord of his youngest daughter. He got up and took the child from her bed and stabbed her in the side with a butcher knife, causing her death. His wife said it was all right, and that Abraham would raise her up next Sunday. Freeman says the child gave one scream and died a minute afterwards. It is stated that the Second Ad ven fists held a meeting at Freeman's house the same afternoon, and appeared to wish the affair kept quiet Freeman carried the mall as usual, and showed no signs of insanity. The cause of the terrible deed appears to be religious ex citement alone. Pocasset, Mass., May 8. The Select men arrived at Pocasset this morning, and a public meeting was held at the Bay View House. Several persons gave' in their testimony who have held con versation with those who are said to be accessories to the crime after the deed. From the evidence received it was voted unanimously to arrest the following named persons : Aldin P. Davis, Chas. F. Howard, Nathaniel Wing, Alvln Wing, Walter II. Wing, Phineas Gibbs, Jr., Harriet N. Swift and Ann Louise Howard. Dr. Munsell, of Harwich, had a con versation yesterday with Freeman and his wife. He came away with the con viction that the case 1b more marvelous than aoy of a similar kind recorded in the medical books. He says that neith er Freeman nor his wife is insane. They ere perfectly rational in every respect. They are, however, in a morbid mental state, and have one delusion that God can and does speak directly to human beings. Freeman said, and his wife also, that whatever course was taken with them, they did not want any plea of Insanity entered. He admitted that he undertook the act with a full under standing of what he was doing. He knew that he was violating the law. He knew that people would look upon It as a horrible crime, and he knew that It would be agony for him to take the life of his little daughter. The District Attorney said that the case legally was clear enough. Here are a man and woman who, with complete and perfect knowledge of what they are doing, with abundant opportunity to re flect, and admitting that they under stood the responsibility they were meet ing, kill a child. They must be indict ed for murder in the first degree. Med ical testimony will be introduced. The question is to what extent such a delu sion will affect the verdicf. A Gallows Candidate. Two months ago Dr. Tierce, of Fac tory vllle, Wyoming county, deserted his wife and family and eloped with Mrs. Biggs, the wife of his hired man. He had the day before prescribed Borne med icine for his wife, who was sick. After the flight of her husband Mrs. Pierce took the medicine. She died two hours afterward. Pierce and Mrs. Biggs went to Texas. The woman had taken her little boy, four years old, with her. Shortly after taking up their residence in Texas, Pierce subjected Mrs. Biggs and her boy to the most brutal treat ment. Three weeks ago Mrs. Biggs, taking advantage of the absence of Pierce, took $100 of his and fled with her child. Pierce got track of her and followed her. She eluded him and reached her father's house on Saturday, but was very sick, and died soon after ward. Pierce then fled, but the officers of the law are after him on the charge of murdering his wife. A Careful Mother. . When Wilhelmj was at Lancaster he was asked by a newsboy to buy a paper. Wilhelmj declined to purchase but handed the boy a dollar "to make him glad," as he expressed it. After the concert, while Wilhelmj was busily engaged packing up, a boy appeared on the stage and inquired for him. Prof Berg asked him what he wanted. The boy replied, "I want a note." "What for?" inquired Prof Berg. "Why, said the boy, with visible emotion, "he gave a dollar, and my mother won't believe it. She says 1 must have a note from him that it's all right." Prof Berg promptly wrote a note to the desir ed effect and the boy went away with a smiling face and a light heart. A Murder In Juniata County. Mifflin, Pa., May 4.

The man ufacturers have also agreed to place no tice to this effect on each mill. Timber on Fire In Berks County. Pottstown, May 6. A fire on a chain of high hills in Union township, Berks county, is destroying hundreds of acres of timber. The flames seem to have originated on Bear hill and are rapidly extending eastward, doing great damage, with little hopes of their being soon extinguished. The loss will be heavy. The cause of the fire has not been learned. A Druggist's Fatal Mistake. Palmyra, Ohio, May 6. Yesterday Dr. Bose, proprietor of a drug store, in vited his friend Sylvester Canfleld to drink.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. 0., May 7, 1870. After the President vetoed the Army bill, some, days niuce, there was a great deal of caucusing among Democrats on the ques tion how to secure all or most of the politi cal legislation embodied in thnt bill, and, still not re fuse supplies to the Army. It was Anally decided to put t once through House and Senate a bill covering some of the points objected to by the President, omitting others, and varying the form of still others, and to defer final notion on the Army and Legislative appropriation bills until the President had vetoed or approved it. This bill was prepared and was Intro duced on Monday by Mr. Ladd, Greenback' Democrat, and yesterday passed the Bouse by a strict party vote. It will pass the Senate in a few days. It Is as follows : Be it enacted, &c, That it shall not be lawful to bring to, or employ at any place where a general or special eleotion is being held in a State any part of the Army or Navy of the United States unless such force be necessary to repel the armed enemies of the United States, or to enforce section 4, of the Constitution of the United Htates, and the laws made in pursuance thereof, on application of the Legislature or execu tive of the State where snob, force is to be used." The Senate was engaged yesterday for some time in a discussion as to whether or not testimony should be taken concerning the right of Judge Bpafford to the seat in the Senate now held by Gov. Kellogg. The probability is it will be decided that the Senate, by seating Kellogg, settled the matter Anally. There will be an early report from the Senate Finance Committee in favor of the House bill allowing the exchange of small silver coins for Greenbacks and to make such coins legal tender to the amount of f 20. The bill will probably pass. To the surprise of many 'William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, has been elected Secretary of the Republican Con gressional Campaign Committee, over Geo, C. Gorhani. The "Greenback" opinion of Mr. Gorham doubtless contributed to his defeat. Extraordinary efforts are beiug made here to secure an imposing display on " Memorial Day." The most beautiful of our National Cemetery is at Washington, across the Potomao from this city, and on the 80th of each May for many years the ex-soldiers of this seotion have assembled there to celebrate the day. That of this year will be larger thau any which have preceded it. Secretary Sherman has not returned from Ohio. There is an immense amount of curiosity as to what this veterau politi cian is attempting to accomplish, but the opinion is universal that he will not know ingly do anything to injure his own chances for the Republican Presidential nomina tion.
