THE BUCKSHOT WAR.

The testimony Of Supreme Court Judge
Houston ,one of the highest officers in the
state, which we annex, extracted from the
report of the committee to "inquire into
the causes of the disturbances at Harrisburg,
in December last," exposes in all the vivid
ness Of naked truth, the fact (so much in
sisted on by the democrats) Of contempla-
ted outrage such as has no parallel in the
history of any nation having pretentions to
the name Of free. The honorable Judge
ought to have exposed the name of the
scoundrel of the propositions" SO that he
might have been held up branded mark
for the fiery scorn of honest men. The
concoctions of the propositions" exhibit
all the malice of a Cataline, without the saw
ing talent of the traitor whose execrated
memory lives, immortalized by the elo-
quence of the Roman orator.

We this week place at our head the name
of Martin pam Basren, for President, and
that of Richard N. Johnson, for Vice Pre-
sident, subject to the ratification Of the Ma
tional Convention.
Martin Van Buren has gained more
friends by his official acts, than any other
President has ever done during the first two
years of his administration. The invele-
rate opposition which beset him at the out
set, has, in a measure, been disipated, and
we have no hesitation in expressing our firm
belief, that he is now the favorlte candidate
of large majority of the American people,
and that he will be reelected by an over
whelming vote over his opponent, let him
be whom he may.
In consequence of report having been
prematurely circulated, that Col. Johnson
would not consent 10 be a candidate for re-
election, several distinguished individuals
have been mentioned to succeed him, any of
whom, were they to obtain the regular no.
mination, would receive our support; but, as
Col. Johnson has, in letter which we
published some few weeks since, declared
his willingness to be candidate, we think
it but due to him, as firm, consisiant, un-
waverng democrat and statesman, that he
should again receive the nomination of the
party. We therefore go for it with the
utmost cheerlulness.
The recommendation by the President, of
the Independent orSub-T b-Treasury,we consid-
er one of the best acts Of his administration,
believing that the stock jobbers have no
claims to the use Of the peoples money to
speculate out of their hard earnings; but
that all are entitled to equal privileges. As
the principles of the Sub-Treasury scheme
are opposed to exclusive privileges, we also
place itat our head, and shall hereafter, as
we have heretofore done, give it our cordial
support.

POLITICAL.
PENNSYLVANIA INTERPRETATIONS.


From report made to the house of re-
presentstves, at its late session, by the Sec
retary of the commonwealth, we learn that
the amount of banking capital authorized in
the state, is $57, ,450, 900, of which $685.
OOO, 900, or MORE than ONE HALF, is held
by the United States Bank. Whilst the
members of the Legislature of Pennsylvania
abided by the old German rule of restrain
ing corporations. we citizens west OF Mar
ket street, Philadelphia, never felt the huc-
tuations in the currency, so frequent for the
last few years. Our banking capital then,
was about 50, 100000, which was amply
sufficient for all useful purposes; and had
no such increase been made in its amount,
as took place during the notorious winter OF
1885, our institutions would have been pay
ing specie during the period Of :" the sus-
pension" in lieu Of issuing the " shin plas-
ters" of irresponsible and illegal corpora
tions. But we were doomed 10 have fair
specimen of federal msrule, and dearly
have we already paid for it. That the next
27 years OF the "chartered monopoly"
may not produce greater evils, it ought to be
the cardinal principle of democracy TO pre-
vent That portion Of the body polite
have the power TO do so, and we mistake
them very much if they do not exercise it.
From this report, we also CLEAN that the
number Of banking institutions is 5l-of
loan companies 3, with capital Of $780,
000-that the savings Institutions number
49, with an aggregate capital of $650,0
which may be considered fortunate, for they
are unquestionaby the most mischiovous
institutions chartered by the commonwealth,
as they are at present conducted. Howev-
er benevolent they were at their inception,
that character has departed from them, and
for the very beau ideal of grasping, avari-
cious, vicious shaving, one has only to point
to " savings" institution, and 1t is found
in its might;"-of coal companies %,
with capital of $6,525, ,O00-of railroad
companies and railroad and coal companies,
90, with capital of $35, ,674, ,500-of ca
nal navigation companies 80, with capital
of $l5,35l ,000-and Of manufacturing
companies lG, with capital Of Sl,742,O
The most of this latter class of charters,
never went into active operation, as they
principally arose from the specializing ma
MIA so prevalent during the late war, and
were for the purpose mainly of making
wooden and cotton goods, which people
have since found out, can be made quite as
well and proftably, by individual enter
prize"
The aggregate number of these incorpor-
ated companies are 2S8, and their whole
capital amounts to the enormous sum OF
orr c, ZOO, 500. Woll may tho vol wishar
of free institutions pause, and enquire what
will be the effect of all this binding togeth-
er of wealth, upon the institutions Of ." the
land of the lree"-the country which had
among her sages Washington, Jefferson,
and Franklin ?-RepOrter.

no person who had any regard for law or
order ever should put any such questions.
His other question related TO matters that
might arise under the new constitution, and
therefore declined answering them; un-
derstood his letter 10 mean teasing opposi-
ton TO the Inauguration of Governor Porter
and the proclamation made of the new con-
stitution; | received the letter before the
meeting of the legislature; after arose from
my bed took it and threw it into the fire;
decline giving the name of the author of
the letter; believe he is whig or anti-ma-
son in politics; had no intmation of any
human being whatever, until saw it in the
newspapers, Of any disturbance at the seat
of government intended at the opening of
the legislature; there was nothing in the let
ter, according to my recollection, which led
me to believe there would be any disorder
or disturbance at the meeting of the logisla-
ture; thought it contemplated a protracted
contest before committees of that body.

Fortunes Frolick.-The Buffalo Re-
publican gives some late instances in that
city.
An inmate of the county 'poor-house, by
the name of Barlow, has become suddenly
rich, by the decision of the Court of Chan
Gerry giving him a title to some of the best
property on Main street, lying between the
Mansion House and the Little Buffalo
Creek. Another instance of Fortunes va
carries, is the fact, that an INDECENT young
man, a journeyman cabinet maker, who
died three years ago, was buried at the ex-
pense Of distant relative, in this city. A
letter has been received within day or two,
enquiring wether he left a will, as a legacy
has been left him, or his heirs, a fortune OF
100000.
