A Daniel Come TO Judgment.

On Wednesday, the 10th instant. when
the United States Senate and House met in
joint convention to count the votes for Pres
ilent and Vice President, and when the State
Of Louisiana was called, one Mullins, q
member from Tennessee. who is regarded by
common consent as the Kings Fool of the
House, moved that the vote from that State
CLouisiana) should not be received. The
House, however, not seeing the force of
MgIins' objection. decided by large major
" that the vote should be counted. In the
ist of members voting to exclude the elector-
al vote Of Louisiana we find the name Of
Daniel J. Morrell. Such is has estimate of
the respect due to the expressed will Of a
sovereign State when a majority of its citi-
Ems see proper to vote the democratic ticket.
If the State had voted for Grant Mr.. Nor
rell would doubtless have viewed the matter
in quite different light. a narrow feeling
If political bigotry can produce sudden
and wonderful change on the judgment OF
some men. and especially of some Congress.

by them you stand by all that is most dear in
the Republic. Pardon me, but if you are not
moved by considerations of justice under the
Constitution, then l appeal to that humber
motive which is found in the desire for success.
Is this the entertainment to which we
were invited by the Chicago convention z
after having made solemh pledge to the
American people, they turn around and with
worse than Parthian treachery, deliberately
and perfidiously violate it. This is the
boastcd peace that was to smile over the
land in the event of Grants election. With
the establishment of negro suffrage, not by
the conseat of the people Of the Northern
States fairly::and legally expressed, but by
the votes of negro and carpet-bag Legisla-
lures iE six Southern States, there never can
and never acH be peace.
Let the people prepare themselves for the
next arbitrary stretch of power. 1t will
surely come. That will be a blow aimed at
our foreign population. Negroes may be
enfranchised by thousands by virtue of a
few lines written with the pen, but intelligent
and educated foreigners must be hedged
round with cunningly devised plans to OBJ
struct and if possible prevent their way to
the ballot-box.

was, or what it ought to be. The expenses
of the Adjutant Generals Office are beyond
our comprehension. What his duties are in
a time of peace it is difficult to tell. The
office itself would seem to be more for orna-
ment than use. Only few days ago the
annual appropriation bill was reported, and
to our surprise we find in it an appropria-
ton of nine thousand faoO hundred dollars
to the State Historian and his clerks. Is
this scandalous swindle to be continued for
another year? BY the specific terms of the
last appropriation to this work, made In
April, 1868, it was to be completed for that
amount in one year. On every principle Of
economy the j,b ought now to stop, after
having cost the State about tIcelUe thousand
dollars for the first volume. A committee
of the House having unseated democratic
member from Philadelphia bill is now be-
fore the Legislature proposing to pay him
one thousand dollars If it is done it will
simply amount to iegalised larceny of that
amount from the State Treasury. There
were seven witnesses examined on the trial
of the case, and the commi, tee on accounts
ask an appropriation of nine hundred dollars
with which to pay them. This lavish, reck-
less expenditure is frightful to contemplate.
1t is by such criminal squandering Of the
public money as in these instances, and they
are comparatively triding to others. that the
huge mountain of our annual State expenses
is piled up The people viii not. and ought
not, longer submit to it IL Is the last straw
that breaks the camei's back, and unless
there is speedy and radical reform, especi-
ally in the expenditures Of the national gov
ernment, reputation. disgraceful and dis
honorable as it would be. may yet become
the last refuge Of an oppressed and tax bur
dened people.

Vigorous Economy.

At meeting Of the Radical State Central
Committee, held at Harrisburg on the 4th
Instant, the following resolution as adopted
WHEREAS. Vigorous economy has been made
a cardinal principle Of the Republican party,
therefore
Resolved, That we do sincerely desire that
all persons occupying an official position shall
have due respect TOR the same in all their ac-
tions, believing that the future success of our
party depends largely upon the strict observance
of that principle.
1t is some consolation to know that the
thuuders of popular indignation have at
last worked up the radical leaders to a pro-
PEI sense Of the proaigste extravaganza
which has made the administration of John
w. Geary SO odious TO the people. But will
the admonition of the State Central Commit
tee be needed ? We fear not Glendower
could call spirits from the vasty deep, but
they would not come at lis bidding. If the
Legislature shall prove as vigorous in its
economy in the future as it has been vigcr-
Gus IN its extravagance Of the peoples
money In the past, there will he time for
general thanksgiving aud joy. Any person
who will consult the report of the Auditor
General for the last year will be amazed at
the magnitude of the current expenses of the
State government. The Legislature conta ms
low just the same number of members that
It did ten years ago. and yet the expenses
have increased 7Ue fold. The amount paid
FOR printing alone is enormous, aggregating
about one hundred and thirty thousand dol
lars. Indeed, the Treasury bleeds at every
pore, and illegitimate plunder is the rule and
Lot the exception. The number of officials
in both Houses is double what it foruerlv

A DlsgraceEuI Scene.

Both Houses of Congress met in j,int con
vention on the 10th instant, in the hall of
the House of Representatives, to count the
electoral votes for President and Vice Presi-
dent. An immense crowd of spectators was
present, including most of the representa-
tives of foreign governments at Washington.
The proceedings, although common place,
are novel and interesting, and ought to be
conducted with proper degree of dignity
aud decorum. 1t so happened that the State
of Georgia was the last State called. Ben.
Butler was determined to create first class
row over the vote of that State, and was
entirely successful in his efforts. He object
ed, fer certain reasons, to counting the vote
Of that State. Ben. Wade, who presided
over the int convention, refused most vehe-
mently to listen to the bully boy with the
cooked eye, or to entertain any Of his mo-
tions. Butler was overbearing, dogmatical,
aud iusolent, as he always is. Some of his
radical friends came to his rescue, and by
voice and gesticulation urged the man Of
plate and spoons to ego in" Confusion
worse confounded prevailed. Colfax directed
he-SeIgeant-at-Arms to arrest all members
of the House who didn't respect the rulings
Of Wade, from whose decisions there was no
appeal. There ensued scene of excitement,
turmoil and confusion that battles descrip-
tion-such a scene as can only be paralleled
10y what has often been described as occur
ring in Kit Burns New York rat pit. Butler
held to his bone with the grip of bul! ter
! er, but Wade treated him with utter con-
tempt Amidst motions and objections, calls
to order, accompanied with shouts and yells
In true Indian style, the vote was announ'
ced, the bedlamite scene ended, and the Sen
Rtors and spectators Withdrew. All the
eports from Washington concur in repre-
sentiug the proceedings as disgraceful beyond
all precedent, and Butler, as the chief actor
aud iustgator, meets with bitter but deserved
denunciation.

THE UNDISPUTED SUPERIORITY of
the medicinal virtues of Robach's Blood Pills
Stomach B:tters and Blood Purifier over all
other remedies, prepared to relieve suffering
humanity, is shown in many ways, but especial
ly is it evnced in this important fact {: That re-
sponsible druggists and merchants all over the
country take active interest in introducing them
10 their best customers and frieEds, while. at
the same time. it is qnite as much to their pc
cuniary interest to recommend other medicines
The reason for this is obvious. They are in
positions to see the prc-emnent efficacy of the
pills in cases of Liver Complaint and all oh
structions of the bowels. and in fact, in all
cases where cathartic medicine can be employed
While the Bitters, bv their gentle tonic. siimu

miraton of every one who has given them a
trial, and the Blood Purifier is acknowledged
to be one of the best remedies to search out
disease, cure Scrofua, Old Sores, EruptiOns
and skin Diseases and to purify the blood ex
tant; hence the people must naturally give
their voices in favor of remedies which effect so

FUNERAL OF JAMES T. BRADY.-The New

under date of 18th inst. writes as follows ::
The funeral of the greatest criminal lawyer
that New York ever knew, perhaps, James
T. Brady, was to-day solemnized at the Ca
thedra' of st. Patrick, in the presence of a
crowded congregation, embracing all the
well known members of TIE bar, the clergy,
the press, the medical profession, the army,
navy and Senate. a large number of la
dies were also present, weeping and in
mourning. for although Mr. Brady died
bachelor, yet he had a large circle of female
acq uaintances, and will be very much miss
by them. Gehtlemen of all sects and per-
suasious were represented at his funeral ]
noticed several Protestant clergymen among
the mourners in the central aisle of the Ca
tEedral, and there were also number of
distinguished men of the Hebrew faith as
well. The greatest lawyer in civil practice,
Charles O'COnor, assisted by A Oakley Hall
and number of other gentlemen distin-
guished at the bar, served as pali-bearers.-
A magnificent mass for the dead was sung,
and dozen clerglymen assisted Archbishop
McCloskey at the ceremonial. The deceased
had an immense practice and was reputed
to be very wealthy. One insurance compa-
ny alone IN this city paid him a retaining
fee OF $4,000 year, in order to have him
watch their interests. Brady lad a bead

UNION PACIFIC RAILR0AD:C0.
AND
CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD Comply
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS.

This great enterprise is approaching compile
ton with rapidity that astOnishes the world.
Over fifteen as o. miles have been built by
two (2) powerful companies: the Union a
cific Railroad, beginning at Omaha, bulldlne
west, and the Central Pacific Ra .lroad. begin
ming at Sacramento, and building east, until
the two roads sh II meet. Less than two hun
dred and fifty miles remain to be built Inc
greater part of the interval is now graded, ard
il is reasonably expected that the throngh
connection betweeR San Francisco and New
York will be completed by July I.
AS the amount of Government aid given to
each is dependent upon the length of road each
shall build. both companies are prompted to
great efforts to secure the construction and
control of what, when completed, will be one
and the only grand Railroad Line connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific co ists.
One Hundred and Ten Million Dollars (SIl0-
0G0 ,000,) in money have already been expend-
ed by the two powerful companies engaged in
this great enterprise, and they will speedily
complete the portion yet to be built. When
the United States Government found it neces-
sary to secure the construction of the Pacific
Railroad, to develop and protect its own inter
est. it gave the companies, authorized to build
it such ample aid should render its speedy
completion beyond doubt: The Government
aid may be briefly summed up as follows
First The right of way and all necessary
| timber, and stone from public domain.
Second. 1t makes a donation of i 2 500 acres
of land to the mile, which, when the road is
completed, will amount to twenty thr million
(23,U00,0 ,0JO) acres, and all OF it within twenty
| (20) miles of the railroad.
| 7 bird. 1t loans the companies fifty million
do!l'r $50, .0J0), for which it takes a

The Government has ALREADY loaned the
