s SECRETARY STASToN.--In the House
Of Representatives ut Harrisburg, n resolu-
,ion was offered, approving Of the course o:
the United States Senate in reiustating Mr..
Stanton as Secretary Of War. This SO ex-
cited the ire Of some Of the Democratic
members, that in their zeal to denouncc Mr..
Stanton, they forgot themselves and eulo.
gised Gen. Lee. The following extract from
the remarks of Mr.. Mann, from Philadelphia
shows the temper Of the discussion. |: ever
the Senate did righteous act, 1t was when
they reinstated Mr. Stanton. Some Of the
smal! fry, who fred their mustard seed
artillery at the Secretary, would no doubt,
cordially support even JEFF Davis himself
for the Presidency.
II have but single other remark to make
in conclusion, and that is thst the assertion
was made by the gentleman from Cambria
Sir. LINToSl. that the Democratic party
were constant in their love for the men who
sustained the Constitution. assert that is
untrue whether the gentleman knows it or
not cannot undertake to say. But know
this: know that they have been for and
against Andrew johnson several times with
in lew years past. know that they were
for him so long as he was for the traitors OF
the South, and that the moment he began
, to sympathize with the loyal men, they be-
gan to denounce him in just such terms as
they arc denounciug Edwin NJ. stanton to.
day. That is an historical fact. The mo-
nent the President took sides with the loyal
men there rose up Democratic speakers to
denoance him, and they continued to de-
nounce him unit! long after he wac sworn in
as President; when they began to turn in
his favor. Whyi They say because he has
sustained the Constitution. They com
menced sustaining Andrew Johnson the day
he issued his ten procamations to the South
without any authority from the Constitution
calling the Legislatures together, and saying
who should be voters and what their quail
tications should be, and defining the who'll
code of laws for ten States of this Union
The momen; he had gone so far as to TAX
the power of organizing these rebeliiou
States out of the hands Of Congress, thes'
Democrats came out In his favor--every maj
OF them. That is their love tor the Consti

The Stnte Trcusnrcr's Report.

Under most excellent management Penn
sylvauia during the war for the Union did
not increase her debt. With the exception
of one or two Western States, there was no
parallel to this, for all of the other States
and some largely, increased their indebted
ness. Under the management referred to
the State tax on real estate was abolished
and the result has been TO push on more
rapidly, the extinction of the debt, and to
raise the credit Of the Commonwealth.
Mr. Kemblc, the able State Treasurer, in
his last annual report, is able still further to
continue his policy of relief, by recommend
ing the Legislature to abolish the State tax
on personal estate, which will, no doubt, be
adopted by the Legislature. He does this
because we are now raising every year large
excess of revenue above our Expenditures
During the past year, the ordinary revenue
exceeded the expenses $3.50, 1888, and during
the current year he estimates the excess of
revenue at Sl,600,000. AS this is much
larger revenue than it is necessary or wise to
collect, and as our people are lsboring under
heavy load of pational and local taxation,
Mr.. Kemble advises the repeal of the three
mill tax on personal property, bonds, mort.
cages, and money at interest, except the
bonds and mortgages issued by corporations.
hitci tIIS tdA VIC suOulu sun
have $5, l35, 900 revenue during the current
fiscal year, against S3,S00,00 OF expenses,
leaving as applicable to the reduction of the
debt 81, 1886, 900. But he further adviccs a
reduction of 100000 in the expenditures of
the commonwealth. as that would increase
the surplus applicable to the extinguishment
of the debt one and a half millions of dol
lars. The general policy upon which Mr.
Ken,ble advocates the repeal of such taxes
is the sound principal that tue common
wealth should collect her revenue from such
sources us cannot be reached by counties
and towns.
Mr.. Kemble sums up the result of his three
years administration in the briet but furci.
BILE declaration that we have reduced our
debt nearly five millions of dollars, redeem.
ed all overdue liabilities, relieved real estate
from State taxation, and the Treasury is in
such condition that the Commissioners OF
the Sinking Fund propose to pay in ad
