THERE is a bill before the United
States Senate, with fair prospect of
becoming law, whose purpose is
announced in the title to be" to in
crease the revenue on duties from
imports and tending to equalise ex-
ports and imports. " The bill is
known as the cooper BILL" and
the public has been led to believe
that its single or chief purpose is to
increase the duty on copper. The
New York Post, a Radical organ,
says: "The real purpose of the bill
is to decrease the revenue, and to
rob the mass of the American PEG,
pie, for the benefit of few unscru-
pulous and greedy SPECTATORS"

z The lynching Of the Reno brothers at
New Albany, Indiana, says a Washing.
ton correspondent, is supposed by some
to be under consideration BY the State
Department with a view to the punish
ment Of the lynchers, as vindicstion of
supposed pledge Of our government to the
authorities of Canada that the Rencs
should be protected from the violence of
citizens of Indiana. It does not appear
that any such pledge was given, but
steps were taken by our government to
prevent the prisoners from molestations
en- route from Canada to Indiana. The
prisoners were delivered safely and placed
in jail removed some distance from the
headquarters ofthe committee, and where
no violence was apprehended. Upon the
delivery ofthe prisoners all responsibility
on the part Of the Federal officers ceased
and was transferred to the authorities of
Indiana. Our government is by some
urged to take the matter in hand and see
that the lynchers be punished as murder
ers; but although the parties who hung
the Renos may be as much the enemies
of society as the murdered men have
been there does not appear to be any
authority for direct interference in the
matter BY the Federal authorities. The
Governor of Indiana, it is said. will take
the case in hand and endeavor to bring
the lynchers to trial. So

Our State Finances.

A remarkable improvement in the condl
ton of the debt of Pennsylvania during
the past twelve months is made apparent
in the Annual report of Hon. VIM. FL.
Kemble, State Treasurer One year ago
our financial credit was none of the best
in fact it was bad The amount of our
debt overdue exceeded $24. 900, 900, and a
determined effort was made to redeem our
credit by the prompt extinguishment of
these liabilities. Mr.. Kemble, with most
commendable zeal. originated the idea of
new loan sufficient to cover all outstanding
indebtedness, which met with the cordial
approval Of all who had the credit of the
State at heart. A bill authorizing a loan
for so 900, 900 was passed, and bids to the
amount of S3O,000,000 were offered. The
old loan was paid in full, and our credit re-
establi, he'd. Mr.. Kembles report shows
the total receipts of theyear amounted to
$2s, 423. $50 OF. They include the new loan,
and some thirty other items, which range
from tax on corporation stocks of 81 ,2O9,-
600, to the rather small items of fines and
fjrfeitures, $50 so, and sales Of public
property, s33 The expenditures amoun-
ted to S25, ,5O2, 500 This includes some
$5OO,0O0 of extraordinary military expenses,
which remain as remnants of the war ; ieav-
ing balance of nearly $4,000, ,OOO 1t will
thus be seen that the State finances are in
an encouraging condition, and to the abili-
ty and integrity of Treasurer Kemble is due
this creditable state of affairs. This is the
history of Republican administration of
Pennsylvania, during years of war and civil
commotion-our debt reduced, our credit

The Pennsylvania Legislature.

Notwithstanding this body met on Janu-
ary 7th, it was not fully organized until Fri
day, the 10th, on account of a failure to
elect Speaker in the House. 1t seems
that nine Republican members were dissat-
isfed with the caucus nominee, Hon. Elisha
w. Davis, because, as they say, they believ
ed he was not favorable to general Railroad
law. On the Goth ballot, which was taken
on Friday, the dissenting Republicans voted
for Mr.. Davis, except MIR. Riddle, of Allie
gheny, who voted for Mr.. Wilson. The re-
suit was: Davis, so; Jones, 43; Wilson,.
The dissenting members filed their reasons
for holding out The first was because they
wanted a man not identified with the often
sive legislation of last year: second, one in
favor of retrenchment and reform; third,
one not connected with corporations; fourth,
one in favor of free railroad law. Mr. Da-
Wis had now satisfied them. 1t seems that
the StateTreasurership was at the bottom of
the bolt. The business of the session is now
proceeding as though nothing had occurred

AMERICA THE CAUSE OF ALL THE TRoU-
BLE.-A London letter, referring to, the
present unsettled condition OF England and
Ireland, the outbreaks of lawlessness, muir
der, riots, arson and other manifestations of
Fenianism and general industrial prostra-
ton, says the English papers. as well as the
loyal Irish lay large part of the blame of
their misfortunes on America; American
rowdyism is the stamp upon the deed: says
the Teleoroph. Such things are not English
nor Irish only as the Irish have been cor
rupted by bad associations in America.
Nothing is more common than to hear En-
glishmen say there would have been none of
this trouble but for the Americans-as if
America had compelled them to convert Ire
land into volcano of revolution. The sole
comfort is that ''all Ireland is not Fenian.
Were all Ireland Fenian at heart, y says the
Telegraph, ''we should have no alternative
but to stamp down the sedition with the heel
of military power, or to give the country its
Independence.

The rumor that the Supreme Court will
decide against the constitutionality of the
reconstruction laws is said to be based on
information conveyed in the most confden-
tial manner of Senator Doolittle, by Justice
Field, who could not keep the secret any
longer. This rumor and the eternal fit
ness of things has led to the agitation of "a
law to make two-thirds of the Court neces-
sary to declare law of Congress unconsti-
tutional, and to reduce quorum of the
Court from six to five, for at present six
Judges must be present to proceed with bu-
siness. There is manifest propriety in this.
The two-thirds principle prevails in the leg

application to the Supreme Court would be

"Laboring-Men's Associations"

We learn that an organization Is being ef-
fected in this county under the title OF La
boring Mems Associations, the ostensible
object of which is to afford protection to Ia
boring men. And, that the organization Is
under the care and management OF some OF
the Copperhead leaders, in the various local
tiles where these Associations have been
established Now, we hope no true Repub-
lican will suffer himself to be ''gulled'' into
uniting with this organization. 1t is only a
Copperhead trick" to catch unwary Re-
publicans-the real object of the scheme be-
ing TO increase the vote of the Copperhead
party to such an extent as to insure the de-
feat of the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent, next fall The whole organization Is
''farce,' and an attempted fraud upon an
intelligent people And if, perchance, any
one has been Inadvertently led into joining
this Association under misapprehen-
sion of its real object, we would advise them
at once to repudiate the "unclean thing, !"
and continue their connection with the Re
publican party-the only true acorking linen S
association in the Union. All similar nam
ed organizations, under Copperhead aus
pices, are a mere cheat to catch 'gullable
Republicans, ~ as a member of that party
declared Then, once more, we caution our
friends against having any connection with
these bogus ''laboring- mems associations
that are now being organized in various
parts of Clearfeld county, and in the State.
