LEGIsLATIYE CoRRUPTToN.

!. /. - - =
there Is one subject upon which nine
tssn-twsntisths Of the people Of Pennsylva-

body that ever assembled st Harrisburg.
On this subject but one opinion exists.
Even the Tribane and AHeqhanian admit
this. Nay, the latter organ makes virtue
d necessity, and thus claims credit for the
rads for admitting the corruption Of the
Legislature. But the. corruptions Of this
Lsgislature were, tho act of majority Of
its members. and this majority was radical.

Senator Wilson IS about to return from
his Southern radical speech-lnaking trip,
having addressed the ex-rebsls, white and
BLACK, at some thirty different points. with
out the least disturbance. Congressman
Kelly, Of Pennsylvania. undertook the same
tour With the same result, excepting In :
single instance lat Mobile. - -
While Wilson aad Kelly are equally radi-
cal, holding identical views. the. former is :.
gentleman. while the latter is blackeuard
In his speech at Mobile, Kelly dealt IN yerv
severe invective and abuse, when,he.was in
terruptsd by ..rough'' in therrowd. 5The
speaker then threatened them with the
United States army, sghsn a shot was fred.
Kelly (for he Is coward As welfas a black
guardl hid,under the table. and the meeting
became mob. Many Of the whites and All
the blacks appeared to be armed. and in the
melee two or three negross and astill greater
number of white men were killed. and rnanv
persons more or less injured.
Many Of the more unscrupulous of the
radical papers, as IS their wont. throws ali
the blame on the white men who attended
the meeting. Their more moderate and re-
spectacle organs. such as the New York
Times. casts the blame on Kelly. himself as
does all the democratic papers - .,a..s
ai The practice Of attending public meetings
armed Is all wrong. and cannot be too strong
" reprobated If radical oratorsd wish to
go down South and make speeches .it is their
privileges. The democrats for the last six
years have been vainly asserting that right
against tbs radicals and how that the radi-
Gals are beginning to yield the right they
should be encouraged. No matter whether
the audience be black or white, let them
talk-and those who do not wish to hear
revolutionary doctrines may remain away,
If they choose. s.a ~
tits less than a year since the President
OF the United States. chosen to that Office by
the radicals, IN passing through the North
ern States where ne had been invited, was
denied the right OF speaking by the party
that elected him-hissed. hooted, and. at
indianapolis and elsewhere. shots actually
nred and his life endangered We looked
upon this conduct then as we view it now.
But strangely enough. the radicals who
throw up their hands with such holy horror
when biackguard Congressman is on the
stand. aPplauded the insult and abuse Of
their President.
Nor is it to be expected that there are no
rowdies IN a city, like Mobile, any more

Amber.
Amber is a fossilized vegetable gum. The
trees from which 1t exuded stood in forests
OF past epochs, and are now found forming
strata of bitumiDous wood beneath beds OF
sand and clay. The wood is more or less i'm
pregnated with the amber; and this Is also
met with depending from the trunks in the
form of stalacti'es, ana again III rounded
pieces, mixedswith pyrites and coarse sand,
under the layer of trees. Such bed Is work
ed as a mine for the amber near the coast
OF Prussia. The fossil stratum is from forty
to fifty feet thick, and is followed to tbe
depth OF 100 feet below the surface. In some
other countries II Is found in beds of brown
coal and OF Ignite, and it is probable that
the pieces OF it picked up on the sea shores
have been washed ont from the extension

Moh2fnmedan countries are principally SIND

nto two kinds, Fieisen and Bernstein. The
former is found in the water The latter is
obtained in mines, and is considered the most
valuable, being harder and clearer. Its valua

waves are going dowr, the men wade ont and
get the sea-weed, which is borne in by the
