q PROBLEM FOR PENNSYLVANIA
SOLDIERS

A table has been prepared by Hon.
II. ID. Washburn, member of Congress
from Indiana, showing the number of
additional bounty claims paid and re-
jected uptO the end of last year. From
this table it appears that Maine has
had 80, 200 of these claims paid, New
York 45, 5,O31, and Pennsylvania 81, ,555.
The disparity between the number Of
additional bOunties allowed to Penn
sylvania, is striking indeed. Our
State furnished at least five times as
many troops, during the recent war,
as Maine, and yet comes in for but a
little more than one-half the number
of additional bOunties paid to the lat
ter State. What is the reason of this
inequality? New York, too, although
she furnished six times as many troops
as Maine, gets some eight thousand
less additional bounties. 1t is beca use
Maine is a radical Yankee State, or
because old Fessenden controlled mat
tiers in the departments as Washing
ton, that this remarkable disparity
exists. We hope our soldier friends
throughout the State, will be able to
solve the problem. Perhaps some of
the radical politicians who profess to
be their special friends, can give them
a clew to the riddle.

THE bill to repeal the Tenure-of-Of-
flee Act does not go down quite so glib
~ in the Senate of the United States
as many anticipated. Mr.. Wilson has
introduced an amendment which does
not materially alter the original act.
1t provides that during the recess of
Congress the president shall have pow
er to suspend an officer, and appoint a
suitable person to perform the duties
of the office until the next meeting Of
the Senate, and until the case shall be
determined. The President shall with
in twenty days after the next meeting
of the Senate, report such suspension,
and if the Senate shall consent to the
removal Of the officer, he may by the
consent Of the Senate appoint another
person in his stead. But if the Senate
shall refuse to concur in such suspen-
sion the officer suspended shall forth
with resume his Office.

\ DESPERATE PURSUIT.-General
Mclaughlin, commanding detach-
Inent OF troops at Camp Salubrity, La,
had lively chase the other day after
one Kimball, a desperate who has
been for two years a fugitive from jus
tice under Indictment for murder.
He came upon kemball in the ROAD
both mounted and armed, and imme-
diately rode for him. Kembali led
him chase through the woods for a
mile, when his horse was begged in a
slough, and the, murderer iell off,
Scrambiing on the other side he screen
ed himself behind his horse, and
when the General rode up, called up
on him to surrender. The General re-
marked that was just what he wanted
Of Kimball when the latter fired. Three
or four shots were exchanged, when
kinball said he would surrender, and
threw down his pistol but just as the
General dismounted, he caught up lis
arms, mounted his horse, and rode of.
Gen. Mclaughlin pursued, and there
was running fight through the woods,
each shooting at the other, until AT
last kimball's pistol missed fire, on the
last charge, and his pursuer shot him
dead.

BILLS for the regulation Of the nat
uralization of aliens have already been
offered in the State legislature, and as
it is more than probable that some
changes will be made in the present
laws, it is to be hoped that before de-
finite action is taken the matter will
be so thoroughly digested that what
ever is done will be an improvement
upon the present system, and not
merely mass of incongruous patch
work, which will make confusion
worse confounded."

THE ToRTUGAs PRISONERS. We
observe that strenuous efforts are being
made to induce the President to par
don the men who were convicted OF
complicityin the Lincoln assassination,
and who since their conviction, have
been confined at the Dry Tortugas.
The numerously signed petitions have
been referred by the President to the
Attorney General, who it is to be ho-
ped will give the subject his early at
tention. There never was reason,
save that Of preconcerted partisan NAL
ignity, why Spangler and the other Tor
tugas prisoners should have been con
victed. The evidenceagainst them was
of the most trivial character, and the
verdict of the court was regarded at
the time of its rendition rs rne of the
most extraordinary on record.

THE CIVIL WAR which has been
raging in Japan since the beginning Of
the year 1868 is at an eud. Prince
Aidsen, the most powerful among the
Northern Daimois, who, after the res
ignation Of the Tycoon, continued the
war against the Mikado on his own ac-
count, concluded a capitulation with
the MikadO on the 9Th Of November.
The authority Of the young Mikado,
who has recently become of age, is now
recognized throughout the country.
Henceforth the Mikado will be the ac-
tual as we'll as the nominal ruler. Yed-
do, which heretofore has been the resi-
dence of the Tycoon, will now be the
residence of the Mikado and the capt
tai of the empire, Strong assurances
have already been given to the foreign
nations that the foreign treaties will be
strictly observed. Several foreigners
will fill high positions under the new
government. The abolition of he Ty-
coonate and the establishment OF a
regular form of government may be
considered as necessary reforms.

WHILE the radicals in Congress and
in State legislatures are throwing down
every barrier which shuts out the ig-
norant and scmi-barharous negro from
the baliot-b box, they are just as indus
triousIy employed in placing obstacles
in the way of the white citizens Of for
eign birth. 1t is not necessary in radi-
cal estimation to register the unknown
and unnamed field hands Of Georgia,
in order to preserve the purity of the
ballot-boX, but cunning enactments
must be devised to impede the natur-
allied citizen on his way to the polls.
It is marvellous that the adopted citi-
zens of America do not perceive the
combined knavery and hypocrisy
which dictate the policy of the radi-
Gals on the question of suffrage. When
it is necessary for the Radicals to hurl
hundreds of thousands of brutal blacks
on the balot-box, universal suffrage is
a glorious boon; but when citizens Of
foreign birth present themselves at the
polls, the suffrage becomes a great evil,
and radical statesmen put themselves
to work to frame laws to render its eX-
ercise on the part OF the foreign-born
citizen as irksome, as difficult and ex-
pensive as their ingenuity can devise.
The cant ofradicaIism about the ''rights
of humanity" when the question Of
voting plantations Of anonymous ne
grOes is under consideration, is quite
different from radical cant about the
necessity Of sacredly preserving the
purity of the ballot-box when the po-
Iitical rights of the naturalzed citizens
are discussed. The stupid negro can
be employed in maintaining the radi-
Gals in power, and the laws Of nature
and the dictates of reason are disobeycd
in order to give him suffrage. The
intelligent foreigner, on the other
hand, no sooner makes himself famil-
lar with our political divisions, than
he ranges himself on the side of the de
mocracy, and he is pursued by all the
hate which bigoted radical partisans
know 50 well how to nourish. The
citizens Of foreign birth will be COM
PEELED to make common cause against
their OppressOrs, and twill before long
be impossible to find radical irish
man or German with a lantern. To be-
long to that party is to be false to race
and fatherland.

PASTE SLINGTSG.


Last year it cost the people of Penn
sylvania just s37 900 to pay for the
pasting and folding of documents for
the lower branch of the Legislature,
there having been thirty four men en-
ployed to do the work. There was
not enough for these to do, one Ilyus
who was appointed a paster and folder
not having gone near Harrisburg dur
ing the session except TO draw his pay
Notwithstanding the fact, however,
that thirty four men can easily per-
form the labor Of the pasting and fold
ing department, the radicals of the
House Of Representatives at Harris
burg, the other day, passed a resolution
authorizing the increase Of the num-
Der of these singers Of paste, mot to
exceed twenty seven,' which would
have made just sjrty-one, or one for
each radical member, and would have
added at least SO, ,0OG to the expenses
of the pasting and folding business
Every radical member of the House
voted for this resolution, whilst every
Democrat except five voted against it.
These latter are being rebuked and
condemned by the democracy every
where, whilst the body of the demo
cratic membership, which stood firm
against this attack upon the treasury,
is being applauded by men of all par
ties from one end of the State to the
other.
The Indignation which burst upon
the faithlesS men who showed their
willingness to turn over the treasury
to the harpies hanging around the
State Capitol, has had the effect Of stop
ping this resolution in the Senate. 1t
has been reported with negative re-
commendation in that body, and is
dead for the present. The "roosters"
and "pinchers'' Of the House, however,
threaten to employ as many pastors
and folders as seemeth them good, and
to fight it out with the Senate on the
Appropriation Bill. We shall not be
astonished if they yet succeed in their
nefarious purpose.
But the whole system is wrong
Why appoint pastors and folders at a
salary at all, when the work which
they are paid such enormous amounts
for doing, can be performed for one
seventh the amount annually paid by
the State? Why not give out the
pasting and folding, by contract, to
the lowest and best bidder? Messrs.
Rauch and Cochran, of Lancaster, pro-
posed to take the contract for the
House pasting and folding for $1,000,
and for both the Senate and House, for
$500, and offered to give good securi-
ty for the proper fulflment of the con-
tract. These men are publishers of
radical newspaper, and both Of them
are we'll known members Of the radi-
cal party. Why did not their political
friends elect these men, as they had
the power to do, as pastors and folders
for the present session? BY so doing
they would have saved the state from
$4,000 to $4,000. The reason that the
proposition of Messrs. Rauch and
Cochran was not entertained, is, that
each radical member Of the legislature
has some favorite to whom he has
promised position. Only this and
nothing more. But must the people
be robbed in order to accommodate
these small beer politicians?

OUR GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCT.-
The Round Table has an interesting
summary of the doings Of our gold and
silver mines during the year 1865. The
yield of placer mining has continued
to fall off, but the extraction of the
metals from the quartz rock has been
prosecuted with increased skill and
success. The various new methods Of
breaking tie rock which have been
tried in Nevada and Colorado have
been abandoned for the old apparatus
of stamps, which is not equaled in eff
fectiVeness by any Of the more recent
devices. The stamps are used, hoWev-
er, with greater care, as the finer the
stone is pulverized the more thorough
ly its precious contents are got out.
In Nevada the most remarkable fea-
ture in the years operations is the de-
crease in the product Of the Comstock
lode, discovered in 1855, and hitherto
so surprisingly valuable. The deeper
the rock is worked in that lode, the
poorer it is found to be. On the other
hand, the White Pine district, in Ne
vada. has furnished silver to the value
of million dollars during the last six
months. In Idaho the profit of mining
has been diminished by drought, while
in California the business has suffered
from too much rain. In all the new
Territories the excessive cost of trans
portation and provisions has also
checked the development of the min
ing interest ; but after all, the yield of
1865 may fairlY be stated as follows:
