Stealing to go on.

The Republican caucus of members of
the Legislature, at Harrisburg, saddled it.
self with burden of infamy that it will
find difficult even to stagger under. The
pasting and folding of Legislative docu
ments In the capitol last winter cost fifty
thousand dollars. That this was gigantic
swindle every one knows. A responsible
firm offered to do the work the present ses-
sion for 81, ,000-proposing to give bond
in any reasonable sum for the prompt and
faithful execution of the work but this
proposition was rejected by the Republican
caucas, and chief of the folding depart
ment elected i'll the old way. The work
Will probably run up to $50, 900 this year,
and yet it could all have been done for 81
600. Clear steal, S53, 900
We think this the most disreputable
swindle of which we have any recent ac-
count. The chief OF the folding depart
ment is always head man in the lobby,
and he appoints as his assistants score or
two of Legislative bummers from all parts
Va IilC hotatS- IHeSS looIlc tLIploS bbNS,
at mere pittance to do the ''pasting and
folding, and devote their energies to aid
ing disreputable schemes of legislation
The difference between what they pay the
boys who do the work and the amount
they receive for signing vouchers for their
chief, CONSTITUTES the winters perquisites. -
In fact this pasting and folding swindle en-
ables the lobby to draw very large salary
directly from the State Treasury. Think
of the State paying man to corrupt its leg
islators Yet fifty thousand dollars goes
! in this way.
Another outrage is the voting to AaRch
member of the Legislature a copy of Pur-
don's Digest 40 copies at ten dollars each
total, 81, 400. But this is only petty lar
ceny- 1t is quietly reported that the same
copies of the Digest have done service I'M

A Fair Promise.

Hon. John Scott, the newly elected U. s..
Senator from this State, was serenaded at
his home in Huntingdon, upon his return
from Washington.--To his numerous
friends who had assembled to greet him, he
said.
1.-The congratulations that most touched
his heart were those from his neighbors
and friends. After recurring to the begin
ming of the dissensions that ended in rebel
lion, and recounting some of the sacrifices
Of Pennsylvania and her citizens in the
cause of the Union, he said he would in the
public station to which he had been called

the right, the rule which he had endeavored

ESE3"A An OUTRAGE FRUSTRATED. The Rad
ical majority in our State Legislature at
tempted piece of most disgraceful legisla-
ton last week, but were foiled by the de-
termined action of the Democratic Senators.
A bill was run through the House in hot
haste proposing to keep Mr.. John Melloy,
Democrat, out of the Office of Receiver of
Taxes, in Philadelphia, and keep in the
Radical, Peltz, until the contested election
case, now in Court, is settled, notwithstand-
ing Mr.. MellOy held the certificate of cleo
ton, signed by all the Return Judges. The
bill reached the Senate on Thursday last,
where it was determined to rush it Through,
under the previous question, as it had been
crowded through the House But three
republican Senator's unwilling to be aparty
to so gross an outrage, refused to vote with
the majority in this attempt to cut off all
debate. Time was precious, as Monday
was the day ON which Mr.. Ntelloy would be
sworn in, unless this bill was passed, so
they adjourned to Friday. But when Fri
day came several republican Senators were
absent and the Democratic Senators all
quickly left their seats, the Senate was left
without quorum and had to adjourn.
Here was a dilemma-absentees were imme-
diately telegraphed for, to be on hand on
Saturday, but Stitson, of Montgomery,
and Stutzman, of Somerset, did not come,
so when Saturday came but 16 RAIDS were
in their seats-less than quorum-and the
in&amy was defeated. The time set having
arrived Mr.. Melloy was duly sworn into of
flee, and entered upon the duties of his Of
fee ON Monday. 1t has transpired that the
accounts of Peltz are in disorder, and this
is said to be the principal reason why SO
strenuous an effort was made to continue
him in office The Radicals dreaded the
effect of exposure. BY this action the Rad
ical members of the Legislature, who tried
to force this bill through, have earned the
contempt of all honest men.-EaSton Sen.

The WORKING MEN AND THE TAXEs.-
Once in a while there appears in Mrs. Su-
san b. Anthony's paper, The Reroimion, a
singing paragraph in reference to the pol
icy Of the Radicals This is one of her Ia
test and best
''The laboring masses have privileges two
left. They can get up'at Five-Twenty in
the morning, and work till Ten-Forty at
night, to earn money to pay Seven-Thirty
interest to the Bondholder The Bondhol-
ders get up at Ten-FortS, take dinner and
wine at Seven-Thirty, enjoy themselves un-
til Ten-Forty at night, when they retire
chuckling over the fact that they have no
road or State taxes to pay ; and they offer
thanks to the Radical thieves in Congress
for the privileges they enjoy over the Ia
boring millions. Can't You see it,"

How TO MAKE WIFE UNHAPPY.-See
her as seldom as possible. If she is warm
hearted and cheerful, or if after days or
week absence, she meets you with a
ner, be sure to look coldly on her, and an
swer her in monosyllables. If she repels
her tears, and is resolved to look cheerful,
sit down and cape in her presence until
she is fully convinced of your indifference
Never think for moment that you have
anything to do to make her happy, but
that her happiness consists in gratifying
your caprices, and when she has done all
q woman can do, be sure you do not ap-
pear satisfied. Never take an interest in
any of her pursuits, and if she asks your
advice, make her feel that she is trouble
some and impertinent. If she attempts to
rally you good humoredly on any of your
pecuharities, never join in the laugh, but
frown her into silence. If she has faults
which undoubtedly she has, and is igno-
rant of-never attempt to correct them,
but be certain to continually obtrude upon
her ears, 'What good wife somebody
else has, ahd how happy man must be
with such wife" In company, never
seem to know that you have "a wife-trest
all her remarks with Indifference, and 10
very affable and complacent to every lady
present except your wife. If you strictly
follow the above directions, you may be
certain of an ohedient broken hearted wife,

RAILROAD MATTERS Rs-The new directors
of the Morris and Essex Railroad, made a
trip over the road, last week, to examine
the bridges and line generally. Among
contemplated improvements, it is stated, is
the putting down without delay of a third
rail of narrow gauge, between Scranton
and New Hampton, distance of SO miles,
so that narrow gauge cars may run over the
whole length of their works, from Nor
cumberland to Hoboken, DOT miles. The
laying of a third rail six miles east of the
Morris and Essex junction at Washington
to the Central New Jersey junction at New
Hampton, will also establish n narrow
gauge communication, via. Scranton, from
Northumberland to and with the Central
Railroad to Jersey City, as well as with the
Norris and Essex 70 Hoboken.-Eh.

DEAR SIR Il learn that at the meeting

delegates to the Democratic State Conyen-
ton, a preference was expressed by those
present for myself as the Democratic can
didate for Governor, in the coming election
At the time that meeting was held | was
confined to my room by illness, or L would
have been present and declined the honor
that my fellow citizens thus seek to confer
| write you now, to say that / am not Il
candidate. Whilst | am gratifed by this
mark of confidence, I am convinced that
my nomination is not the best that can be
made. recOnize the vital importance Of
the selection of the strongest candidate
that can be found, to make this contest
| am one of those who believe that every
thing but principle should be subordinate
to success, and that preference for individ-
uals and the desire to reward party services
should be made to yield to the imperious
necessity to win. 1t seems to be the uni
versal desire of the press of the State that
the convention shall be held at late day,
and if the best men of the party be selected
as delegates, and authorized to carry out
the will of the party as shown by the light
that shall then surround them, the selec-
ton of the strongest candidate will follow
and success will be assured.
desire through you to express to my
constituents who have invariably given me
n cordial support, my earnest thanks for
this renewed mark of their confidence.
