FROM WASHINGTON.

The news from Washington the past week
has not been of much importance. Con-
gress has not been in session since the Goth
nlt., and the country has breathed since
with comparative ease. The Rump meets
again on the Sd inst, when we may expect
a rehash of what was done the fore part of
the session. This city is said to have been
unusually dull during the holidays, and but
few arrivals are noted on the hotel books.
The usual receptions at the White House
were postponed until after the holidays.
The first bill reported to have become a
law at the present session of Congress is to
supply Deficiencies in the appropriations for
the year ending in June next.
The legislation by Congress so far has nearly
all been of such character that it required
the ratification of three-fourths of the States
before it. could become law We refer
more particularly to the Constitutional
Amendments. These bills, too, had to be
passed over the Presidents vetoes. The
Constitutional Amendment relative to black
suffrage in the Southern States will not be
accepted by those States. The Legislatures
Of the South are rejecting this Amendment
one after another as they come together
1t is true, one of the Carolina States has
accepted it, but under what circumstances is
better known to themselves. The Southern
people are not willing to sink their manhood
so much as to come down to the level with
the blacks

and the other half want to use him to ac-

~ We notice by the last Northuntber-
land County Democrat, that some FIVE rob-
berries were committed on the oath ult, in
broad day light, between Mt. Carmel and
Bear Gap, Northumberland County Isaac
Hummer and boy were the first victims :;
the former lost $50 and new overcoat while
the latter lost So so. These parties were all
victimized by the same scoundrels, three in
number. At least that is the suppositiou
They operated after the following fashion:
One Of the parties would take hold of the
horses, the other two, one on each side, with
pistols drawn, would demand, money or
your life. Peter Yocum, of Bear Gap,
was the second party robbed He was de-
prived of $50 and Gold watch. Simon
Vought, from Montour County, was robbed of
$50. The fourth man robbed was Abraham
Haas, from near Lewisburg, from whom they
took SIS and revolver The fifth was
Washington Swank, from near Elysburg
They took from him $6. After they had
robbed him and found no more money, they
struck him over the head for not having
more.

SOLDIERS ARE EXEMPT FROM ALL BoUN-
TYTAxEs, persons, soldiers or officers,
who have been in the army for nine months
and their property are exempt from all boun-
ty taxes or militia fines levied or to be levi
ed, and all persons, soldiers or officers, who
have been discharged for wounds or physical
disability, and their property, and the wild
ows and orphans of soldiers and their prop
erty, are exempt from all bounty taxes!-
This exemption extends to head tax or poll
tax, as well as property tax if the tax is for
bounty purposes.
Any soldier who is called on for tax, has
only to prove that he has been in the army
nine months, whetherone or two enlistments
does not matter One kind of evidence to
prove this is his discharge, but this is not an
indispensable proof. The greater part of
the discharges for long terms are now in
Washington, under the new bounty law
The testimony of an officer or comrade, who
has served with you, is just as good evidence
as a discharge.
Any soldier who has served nine months
is clear of all bounty tax. That is the clear
letter of the law, and it is shameful for any
assessor or collector of taxes to be Ignorant
or doubtful on the matter
Soldiers and soldiers widows and soldiers
orphans are not topay taxes for buying other
men to fight That is the will Of the peo-
pie expressed in plain short law. 1t is the
duty of every good citizen to see that nc
soldier, and particularly no soldiers widow
or child is imposed on or defrauded of theil
rights in this manner.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE

FOR 1861
GEORGE BERGNER. Proprietor

As the approaching session of the Legis-
lature will be one of unusual interest to the
people of Pennsylvania-owing to the fact
that United States Senator is to be elected
and other matters of great importance will
be acted on by the legislative bodies of the
Commonwealth-and a change will take
place in the Executive Department of the
State, by the Inauguration of Gen. Geary as
Governor-the attention of the public is in
vited to the following Prospectus of the
Harrisburg Telegraph for 1867:
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH,
now the largest daily paper in Central or
Southern Pennsylvania, besides containing a
full report of the proceedings of the Legis-
lature, and a truthful account of affairs at
the Capitol, will give copious telegraphic
reports of all important events that transpire
throughout the country, a synopsis of Con-
gressional proceedings and other matters at
Washington, and will be furnished by mail

LEGIsLATIvE.-The Legislature of Penn
sylvania met at Harrisburg on Tuesday of this
week. As we go to press, the organiza-
ton has not been announced. The prom
inent candidates for the speakership on the
Republican side, are Col. Mathew S. Quay,
of Beaver, and Hon. John p Glass, of Al
legheny. The fight in caucus for the speak
crship has, no doubt, been quite spirited
The United States senatorship was expected
to have been brought in question in making
the selection for speaker. 1t is not known
who will receive the homer of the Democrat
ic vote for speaker in the lower house. In
the Senate Lew Hall viii be elected speak
er by the Radicals, and William A. Wal
lace, will receive the Democratic vote.
Nothing important will transpire in the
way of legislation during the first week, as
the committees will not be announced until
the Monday following. On the second Tues
day Hon. VIM. H. Kemble will be reelected
State Treasurer and on the third Tuesday
Geary viii be inaugurated and a United
States Senator will be elected. By the pro-
visions of the new law of Congress each
branch of the Legislature will, on that day,
vote for Senator We doubt not that the
Senate and House will each cast majority
for the nominee of the Republican caucus
The session viii not-at least it certainly
should not-be protracted one. The only
important general act demanded by the peo-
pleis free railroad law, which we presume
viii be passed without serious opposition. =
A registry is urged by the Republicans in
some sections of the State As is also law
relative to drawing Juries, urged by the
Radicals in Democratic counties The Leg
islature should be able to adjourn in less than
one hundred days.

seTHE STARS AND STRIPES "-Durinp {

1.-THE STARS AND STRIPES. During the
rebellion, the advocates of the war insisted
that their only object was to maintain the
Union of those States and they went about
looking for flags that had less than thirty
six Stars on them, as evidences of disloyalty
Now, they talk about abolishing ten ofthese
State, and making them mere Territories
Of course, ten stars will have to be blotted
out of the national banner, to conform to the
new Radical arrangement, for it will be ridic-
ulously false to represent thirty-six States on
our flag, when we have but twenty six in the
Union. When the Union was formed by
the original thirteen States, the national en-
sign was ordered toconsistof thirteen stripes
and thirteen -symbolical of the num-
Der of States then existing-and there was a
star and stripe for Virginia, and for Geor-
gia, and for South Carolina, and for North
Carolina as they were parties to the COM
pact. Is the old standard to be mutilated,
to please these Jacobins? Are four stars
and four stripes to be torn from ito con-
form to the proposed Territorial outrage2
LoYALTY.-1t is stated that one of the
methods resorted to by the Radicals, of
Juliet, Illinois, to show their delight at the
result of the recent election in that State,
was burning the Constitution of the United
States, which was done in the open streets,
amid the most vociferous cheering amid the
crowd of partisans assembled. This is the
natural result of the teachings of Sumner
and Stevens. That grand instrument which
in the earlier and better days of the Repub-
lie was regarded as next to inspired, has
been SO disregarded and set at naught by
the people, that it becomes odious in the
eyes of crazed radicalism, and is doomed to
the flames We could not have believed
such story few years ago; but when it is
known that intelligent individuals here as
elsewhere, even some who had officially
sworn to support that Constitution, have
spoken most contemptuously of it, We cease
to doubt
