are only portion of the comments, made
to and at us, on. our late brief editorial ex-

infinitely mean, howl raised against MIR.
Greeley, by men and newspapers protesting
the same principles that he has always so
earnestly, under good and evil report, advo-
Gated.
We are waiting, us we before said, for the
subsistence of this unreasoning clamor. 1t
has not confined itself to the one single de-
batable point, in the affair" VAST pru-
dent, and wise act, in view of all circum-
stances, for Horace Greeley, the public man,
to become Jefferson Davis surety.s"-for
on this issue there may be calm and tenn
perate argument-but it has gone on with
utter injustice, and inexcusable recklcssness,
to abuse and denOunce Horace Greeley, in
all his elements of character. How outra-
geous this is we ask our readers to reflect
for one moment. Mr.. Greeley may some
times err in his judgments; his great beneyo-
lence, that has made him cspouse the cause
of the helpless, whenever they needed a
champion, may in some cases have outweigh
ed the legal qualities of strict and firm pun
ishment of error such as govern the judge
upon the bench. But any other serious fault
no one can charge against him. No decent
man has ever impeached his conscientious
devotion to great principles, and we defy
the worst of his assailants to lay their
finger on mean, an unworthy, selfish OF
a treacherous act against the cause of Human
Rights.
Can we say this of any other man? Shall
we ascribe these qualities to Daniel Webster?
or Henry Clay? or how many of the public
men who stand in our front ranks to-day

He further adds !:

1t is believed that the Republicans, If an
active organization is effected, will carry the
State. It depends, however, whether any
considerable portion of the negro vote,
especially in the Southern counties, is de,

such means will be used to control Them
How far they will succeed depends upon

The Republican State Central Committee
held meeting here last week, and decided
upon the 2Gth of June as the time, and Viii

Convention to nominate candidate for Su-

member thereofwas able to bring a good re
port. The Republicans were never more de.
termined to carry the State election thannow,
and nothing but the grossest blunder IN the
selection of a candidate, can defeat the party
in October next.

WHERE THE TAXES HAVE GONE.

About two years ago we first called the
attention of the taxpayers of the county
to the gross mismanagement OF gross igno-
rance Of some Of the Poor House officials.
We have frequently referred to the matter
since Some Of the wise wiseacreS hooted
at US as having found mare nest, while
some of the officials in endeavoriDg to eX-
plain matters, confessed their incompeten
cy. Compelled at last to Investigate the
matter or have others investigate it, two or
three of the party magnates, with the Off
rials of the Poor House establishment, set
themselves to work last week, and after a
couple days arduous labor. succeeded in dis
covering deficits al mistakes to the amount
of about Ten Thousand Doiiars We were
long ago convinced that there were serious
leaks somewhere, but we did not apprehend
they were quite so extensive as they have
turned out to be- This is but one of the
county departments, and one from which
hut a small portion Of the county funds IS
lisbursed Iftbe leaks in the other depart
mcnts are the same in proportion, 1t is high
time that they too should be looked after.
VIII not the keepers of the Democracy in
this county give Us an explanation Of the
amount and character ofthe discoveries they
have made in the Poor House establishment?
\ matter of Tn THous0nd DoLars is of
considerable interest to our tax payers.
Could not the Investigating Committee, by
going back few years more. find sufficient
mistakes, if corrected, to build the new
Poor House, that is so greatly needed "A
word to the tax payers if such blundering
has been going on in the management Of the
county affairs, is it not high time the pres,
cnt iucumbents of that department be re
licycd from their duties, and men compc-
tent and willing to conduct the county
affairs, placed in their stead?

HARRISBURG CORRESPONDENCE
HAnRIsBuRG, April 16. 1867.

HARRISBURG, April 16, 1861.
The Legislature adjourned at noon on
Thursday last, pursuant to a Joint resolution
passed two or three weeks ago. The session
just brought to a close was one Of more than
ordinary Importance, on account Of the great
Senatorial contest that was carried on with so
much bitterness, but which ended in the elec
ton of General Cameron to the seat recently
vacated by Edgar COwon. Perhaps no cam
paign Of this character ever before caused so
much personal il-feeIing in the Republican
/ ranks, yet it did not destroy the party, and
doubt if ever our members Of the Senate sep
arated more determined to battle for the
right and maintain the unity of our orgauiza-
ton.
There was a great struggle on the subject
ofrailroads, which for time threatened
breach betweenthe Governor and the Legisla-
ture, Lutthe matterw was amicably adjusted The
ratification ofthe amendment to the Consti-
tuition was an important matter that received
decisive action. The revision and amend
ment of the law of evidence, permitting par,
ties to testify in their own suits in Court, was
an item Of no little moment to the public.
Other matters of importance were disposed
Of that have neither time nor place to emu
merate in a single letter. An idea Of the
amount of business transacted during the ses-
sion, may be formed when | state that
thousand and fifty bills and sixteen joint res,
ouuons, were passed. Nearly all these
bills were either approved or vetoed by
the Governor, before the adjournment. True.
large majority of the acts passed, were ola
purely private character, yet they required
!ime and attention. l cannot see, however,
that because so much Legislation was accom-
pIshed, the members were justifable in yo-
ting themselves a salary Of 1850. The peo-
pie sent them here to work, and if they were
not willing TO serve their constituents at the
old figures, they should have Withdrawn in ia.
yor Of others who would have considered the
former salary sufficiently large.
The old adage that honesty and industry
have their reward, has been forcibly demon
strated in the selection of Hon. James l.
Graham, Of Allegheny, as Speaker of the
Senate. twenty-five years ago, Graham was
a butcher apprentice in Pittsburgh While
laboring diligently for his employer, he also
eudeavored to improve his mind and most
did he succeed. While yet young
IN years he made a profession of religion,
joined the Methodist Church, subsequently
became class leader, and still later local
preacher. and while maintaining his integrity
as Christian, he has, without any solicita.
ton on his part, been chosen to the high Of
ice Of Speaker of the Senate. Let all the /.
apprentice boys in the country initiate the /
Example of James L. Graham, and they will /
'ssu'edly rise to honorable positions among
heir fei,o~-men.

azg- The Gazette of last week comes out
with couple of editorials in defence of Sen
ator Stutzman. One good turn deserves
another and we have no doubt Mr.. Meyers
feels himself under special obligations to Mr.
Sturzman for recent favors though they
availrd him nothing. Mr.. Stutzman is per
fcctjy welcome to the Ga=etie's enconiums
as far as we are concerned, but we wish both
the Ga-ciicand Mr. Stutzman to understand
that we do not consider the fact that a man
pays his debts any reason why his public
acts should be screened from the view of his
constituents, especially when those acts are
prcjudicial to their interests. Wewould fur
ther inform them that when we disapproye OF
a man course we say SO plainly, whether he
be radical or copperhead When public
man violates his pledges, either express OF
/ implied, our friendship for him, whether per
>ounl or political, shall not deter us from IN,
forming the public of his detection.

Gze The Pittsburg Commercial is mista-
ken when il says that we recently under
took to question the propriety Of the COnt-
ncrciaLS course on railroad matters in the
State We simply referred to its daily at
tacks upon Mr.. Hall, which appeared to
partako Of so much malice, that we were
satisfied that they were intended for a pur-
pose other than the benefit of the Free Rail
road Bill We did not pretend to defend
Mr. Halls votes. We suggested there
might be difference of opinion in regard
to the objects to be attained. 1t is very
questionable whether the Commercial itself
knows exactly what course it pursued upon
'.the railroad matters in the State.
