FsA The Gasette Of last week comes out
with a couple Of editorials in defence Of Sen.
stet Stuizman. One good turn deserves
another and We have DO doubt Mr. Meyers
feels himself under special obligations to Mr.
Stutzmau for recent fayors though they
ayailcd him nothing. Mr.. Stuszman is per
feetiy welcome to the Gasette's eneoniums
as far as We are concerned, but we wish both
tue Gazcfeand Mr. Stutzman TO understand
that we do not consider the fact that a man
pays bis debts any reason why his public
acts should be screened from the view Of bis
constituents, especially when those acts are
prejuiicial to their interests We would fur
ther inform them that when We disappr0yeof
man course we say so plainly, whether he
be radical or eopperhead. When public
man violates his pledges, either express or
implied our friendship for him, whether per-
so0al OF political, shall not deter US from IN

WHERE THE TAXES HAVE GONE.

About tso years ago We first called the
attention Of the tax payers Of the county
to the gross mismaDagement or gross igao-

pain matters, confessed their ineoalpetcn
- Compelled a; last to investigate the
matter or have Others investigate it. two or
three Of the party magnates, with the Off
ciai- of the Poor House establishments, set
themselves to work last week. and after a
couple days arduous labor, succeeded IN dis
covering deficits and mistakes to the amount
Of about Tn thousand Dollars We were
long ago convinced that there were serious
leaks somewhere, but we did not apprehend
fley were quite so extensive as they have
turned out to be- This is but one et ;ae

but a small portion Of the county funds is
jsbursed 1.-THE leaks in the other depart
ments are the same in proportion, it is high
tune that they too should be looked after
NyiIl not the keepers of the Democracy in
this county give US an explanation Of the
amoant aud character ofthe discoveries they
have made IN the Poor House establishment?
\ matter of r., Thogsaad Dollars Is of
considerable interest to our tax payers.
Could not the Investigating Committee, BY
going back a few years more. fnd sufficient
mistakes, if corrected, to build the new
Poor House, that Is 50 greatly needed "A

HARRISBURG CORRESPONDENCE.

HARRIsBuRG, April 16, 1861.
Tbe Legislature adjourned at noon on
Thursday last, pursuant to a joint resolution
passed two OF three weeks ago. The session
lust 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 elee
ton Of General Cameron % the seat recently
vac, ted ~ Edgar Covan. Perhaps no cam
paign Of this character ever before caused so
much personal i'll feeling in the Republican
ranks, yet 1t did not destroy the party, and
doubt If ever our members of the Senate sep
arated more determined to battle Tor the
right aud maintain the unity of our organiza-
ton
There was a great struggle on the subject
ofraiIroads, which for time threateaed a
breach betweenthe Governor and the Legisla-
ture, butthe matterwas arnicably adjusted. The
ratification ofthe amendment to the Consti-
tuition was an important matter that received
decisive action. The revision and amend
neut 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 single letter. An idea Of the
amount of business transacted during the ses-
sion, may be formed when I state tlat -
thousand and fifty bills and sixteen joint res
olutons, were passed. Nearly ali these
bills we're either approved or vetoed by
the Governor, before the adjournment. True,
large majority of the acts passed, were ofa
purely private character, yet they required
time ana attention. cannot see, however,
that because SO much Legislation was accom-
plished, the members were justifabe in vo-
ting themselves a salary of 81 $50. The peo-
pie sent them here to work, and if they we're
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 butchers apprentice in Pittsburgh. While
laboring diligently for his employer, he also
endeavored to improve his mind, and most
admirably did be succeed. While yet young
in years be made 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
fee Of Speaker Of the Senate. Let all the
apprentice boys in the country initiate the
example Of James /. Graham, and they viii
assuredly rise to honorable positions among
their fellos men.
With the close of the present session, the
terms Of eleven Senators expired ;-Messrs.

e=g The Pittsburg Commercial is mista,
ken when ii says that we recently under
,ook to qoestion the propTiety of the Coas-
alercials course on railroad matters in the
State We simply referred to its daily at
tacks upon Mr. Hall, which appeared to
l'artake Of 50 much malice, that We were
satisfied that they were intended for 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 a 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
