ed by the State authorities to procure il full
history of the services rendered by Penn

collect Photographs. of all officers of such
regiments, to be deposited in the State Lii
brary in such form as to be easily referred
to aud examined In accordance with this
proposition, the State Librarian now re-
quests all such officers to send well executed
card Photographs of themselves, addressed

has perished, that the friends of the gal
liant dead send such photographs Each

Bounty TAX-WHo ARE EXEMPT? p
The following is the bill as it passed the
Legislature, exempting certain persons from
the payment Of bounty and per capita tax,
and militia fines. 1t has been approved by
the Governor and is therefore law:

have been mustered into the military ser
vice of the United States. and have served
therein for period of not less than nine
months in the war to suppress rebellion,
and their property and those persons who
have been discharged from said service on
accout of wounds, or physical disability,
contracted in such service, and their prop
erty shall be exempt from the payment Of
all bounty and per capita tax levied, or to
be leied, for paying bounties to volunteers

empt from the payment of militia fines.

Showing THEIR HAND.-The Reading
Gazette, the home organ of Mr. Clymer, in
sists that President johnson must inaugu-
rate another rebellion in order to get rebels
into power. It is fair to presume that it re-
fleets Mr.. Clymer sentiments when it says
There are hundreds of thou sands of good
men in the Northern States who are hope
full that President johnson will declare such
legislation revolutionary and so pernicious
as to warrant him in completely ignoring it,
Not only is this their hope, but it is their
prayer, and they ,cW sustain hin, IA such q
course ,oith their blood and liyes, If need be +"
President johnson, we opine, will do no
such thing as the Gazette hopes for Not
only has he signed nearly half a hundred
Acts of the present Congress, but he has
made the Civil Rights Bill itself the basis
of orders just issued by his executive de-
partments-thus refusing to ignore it, . as
evidently was the wish and hope of the ely
mer party.

TIE RECORDING OF DEEDs.-Many OF
our readers, perhaps, are not aware that
there is stringent law respecting the prop
er recording of deeds in the Registers of
fee, and from that ignorance may some
time he placed in an embarrassingan and disas-
trous position. We copy the Act that all
may see and govern themselves accordingly ::
''All deeds and conveyanceS for real es-
state in this Commonwealth, shall be re
corded in the office for recording deeds in
the county where the lands lie. within six
months after the execution Of such deeds
and conyeyauceS not recorded as aforsaid
shall be adjudged fraudulent and void
against any subsequent purchase Tor valu-
able consideration, unless such deeds be re-
corded before the recording Of the deeds or
conveyance under which such a subsequent
purchaser or mortgages shall claim.

ed by meeting held in Sharon, Mercer
county, a short time since:
READING, April 18th, 1866.
GENTLEMEN L have just received your
letter OF the Sth inst, asking TIE question
whether am or am not in favor OF making
a general railroad law by the Legislature of
this Commonwealth, somewhst similar TO
that existing in the neighboring State of
Ohio
If after the repeated and persistent eff
forts made by me during long service IN
the Senate, to secure the passage of a gem
eral railroad law, my position on that ques-
tion is not understood, | fear that nothing
| may now say Will more fully demonstrateit
| have been, am now, and will continue
to be in favor of a general, free, railroad
system for this State, similar to that of the
States of Ohio and New York; believing
that capital should ever be permitted, under
proper restraints tor the protection of prl-
vate property and the rights of individuals,
to develope- any and every section of this
State without let or hindrance
Until the people of this Commonwealth
establish this system, many of the richest
and fairest portions thereof, will, for half a
century to come, be deprivedof those means
OF development and inter communication to
which at all times they are entitled, and
ithout which their stores of iron, of coal,
of 1umbef, and of oil, will be useless and
improbable, not alone to their owners, but
as well also to the whole people who are un-
qucstionably most deeply interested in their
prompt development and production.
Very respectfully and truly yours,

State viii rigidly enforce:
That it shall not be lawful for any per
son who may own any cattle or sheep, at

Pneumonia or orther contagious or infec-
tious disease to sell or otherwise dispose OF

from the premises where such disease Is
known to exist, nor for period Of two
months after such disease shall have disap-
peared from the premises. That no cattle
or sheep shall be allowed to run at large in
any townsip or borough where contagious
disease prevails, and the constables of such
townships are hereby authorized and re
quired to take up and cohfine any cattle so
found running at large until called for and
until all costs are paid; and in townships
where there are no constables, it shall be
the duty of township clerks to perform this
service and the said officers shall be en-
titled TO receive one dollar for each head Of

refuse to perform the duties of this act,
shall be reliable to fine Of $1,000. Any

CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUs.-The Union
Congressional DELEGATION of New York,
held a caucus on Thursday night, April
Goth, which was attended by all the mem
bers except two OF. three. There was gener-
ally uuaninity in the views expressed as to
the course that should be pursued by Con
gress, and as to the work that should be
done III order to preserve the Republican
party and insure its success in the future.
The members were decided in the opinion
that to this end Congress must give them
some affirmative policy, upon which the
party can go to the people, and that univer-
sal suffrage must be ignored by Congress
and left for the States to determine. Tie
meeting was unanimous m favor of the ad-
mission of the Tennessee delegation in
Congress.

THE LEGAL RATEoF INTEREST. see
. that some OF our contemporaries are under
the impression that an act was passed at the
last session of the Legislature, changing the
legal rate of interest from 6 to per cent.
Journalists are led into this misapprehen-
sion by the fact that a bill providing for
this change had been before the House,
which was defeated. but on a reconsideration
was carried. When the measure came be-
fore the Senate, it failed. The opposition
to it was decided from all parts Of the State
A proposition was made at the same time
to permit banks to charge per cent inter
est on their discounts. This met the same
fate, and its rejection was prompt and de-
cided. The legal rate Of interest, therefore
remains unchanged, and it would be well to
let the fact be generally understood. .-TeLe-

AT THEIR OLD TRIcKs-Misrepresen
ton seems to be the game adopted by the
Copperhead papers and leaders, for the
coming Gubernatorial campaign. For sew
eral weeks past, they have been circulating
that several prominent Republicans had de-
clared against Gen. Geary- among them
Gov. Curtin. The Bellefonte Press of April
9th, upon the authority of Gov. Curtin,
who is on visit to that place, says
He lGoy. Curtin) authorizes us to con-
tradict expressly the statement made In last
week Watchman that he is opposed to
Gen. Geary. On the contrary he declares
his purpose to do all he can to secure his
election. He further assures us that the
triumph OF Geary is beyond a reasonable
doubt. We need not say to our readers
that Gov. Curtin's wishes and efforts are
cordially with the party and its candidates
1t could not be otherwise. -
