The Inquirer has published several
editorials rejecting upon the extrava-
gance Of its party in the legislature,
which seem to be more particularly
leveled at the gentleman who repre-
sents this county in that body.
1t is not our province to take up the
cudgeIs for Mr.. Longenecker. That is
the duty Of his friends in his own par
ty. When the Inquirer asks for one
man to stand up against the corrupt
practices Of the legislature, and when
II says, "a very feeble voice might do
so much as this and show the people
who are responsible" it becomes the
duty Of the political friends Of Mr.
L,oneenecker to clear him Of the ilnpu-
tation that he is not the man to resist
the dishonest schemes of the majority
and that he is not the voice to "show
the people who are responsible"

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

We call attention to the call OF the
Chairman of the Democratic County
Committee, published in this issue, for
meeting of the Democracy to be held
in the Court House, on Monday eve
ming of the coming court week. Bust
ness OF importance 10 the party will be
transacted by the meeting, and we
hope, therefore, that there will be a
full attendance. A Governor, Judge
Of the supreme Court, and an impor-
tant county ticket are to be chosen
next fall, and it behooves the friends
of the Democratic cause to see to it
that they enter the contest underprop
er standard-bearers and with perfect
organization. New York and New
jersey have been redeemed by the
election of Democratic Governors
Let Pennsylvania be placed side by
side with them in the list of regener-
ated states.

At Leeds. on the 4th instant, three
men, who had been convicted Of garote
robberics, received twenty-five lashes
each with cat-'o-nine tails, in the cen.
tral hall Of the borough Jail. A new
triangle much stronger than the one
hitherto in use, was employed and the
prisoners were secured to it so firmly
that the struggles of two of them
scarcely caused the least vibration in
the solid timbers. The first man fog
ged was John Edwards, aged thirty
six, who took the first two or three
strokes of the eat very coOlly, but the

SMALL FRUIT WINE Es.-To make
good wine from blackberries, strawber-
ries, rasberries, currants or gooseber-
ries, is IA simple process. Mash the
fruit fine in gallon of boiling water,
to each gallon of fruit, add four pounds
OF sugar, and, after standing twenty
four hours, strain and put into cask
and deposit in the cellar. If, after fer
mentation, it should be racked off and
corked up in bottles, all the better ;
but it will do to rack it into another
cask, in which it will keep very Well
though ON tap for the year. The cost
OF this wine, including fair price for
the berries, will be about thirty-fve
cents per gallon.

INTERESTING TO FARMERS. The
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided that farmers have no right
to have their grain manufactured into
flour in any manner, without paying
a license to the Government, and if
they do, they are liable to the penal
ties provided by law. We mention
the fact for the benefit Of those who
may be interested in knowing 1t. Day
by day the people are becoming more
and more acquainted with the face Of
the tax collector, and we are growing
more familiar with the ramifications of
the Internal Revenue law.

NOT satisfied With the enormous bur
den Of debt now piled upon the shoul-
ders Of the people, he Radicals have
ordered, received, and paid for plans
for new building for the War Depart
ment, which will cost not less than
two million Of dollars--the building
we mean, not the plans. 1t strikes US
very forcibly that if the present build
ines were sufficient for the business of
the department during the entire war,
they ought to answer all its purposes
now, and for years to come, more es-
pecialIy in view of the fact that the
army is to be cut down to the peace
standard shortly.

PENSIONS. There have been, it IS
stated, 9I9 bills granting pensions to
individuals offered during the present
Congress. The House committee on
pensions, it is announced, have now
under consideration, and expect to re-
port, bill rcarranging the pension
laws. Among the amendments to the
present law are provisions for more
efficient system Of detecting frauds up
on the government in the collection Of
pensions, and for the disposition Of ar
rears Of pension where parties have
died, leaving pensions to which they
were entitled. One clause prohibits a
widow from transferring by will the
arrears Of her pension to the prejudice
of the children Of her deceased hus-
hand

United States Senators fIom Delaware
the other day the father to fill an un-
expired term, and the son for a full
term of six years. This is the first

Delaware.

THE New CoINs.-Shall we ever
have fixed style Of small coin? Ever
since The establishment Of n govern
ment mint, each successive director
has tried his hand at the matter, and
it may safely be said that the United
States boasts a greater variety Ct small
coin than any nation on the face of the
earth. We are glad to learn that the
House Committee on Coins have de
cided, and will, next week, report in
favor ofadopting new coins of nickel
and copper in place Of the present two.
threr, and five cent pieces. The de-
vices on the new coins will be the same
as on the old ones-the difference in
other respects will be in the numerals,
size, and weight.

THE LoBBY.-The Alexandria Ga
zette always speaks to the point. 1t
well says: "When a plan is now
broached byany yadventurero orscIlemer,
or any ring of the same sort, to be
acted upon by and engineered through
Congress, the question is not whether
it is constitutional. but, first, viii it
pay the inventors, or enable them TO
pocket government money. Indeed,
many Of the persons engaged in these
schemes for bleeding the treasury do
not know what is constitutional or
what is not-being the most ignorant
as well as the most impudent Of men!
Their pretensions would be IaughabIe
if they were not often enabled, by col
iusion with accomplices, to effect their
designs"

A BILL has been introduced into the
United States Senate, the object Of
which is to afford relief to Mrs. Abra-
ham Lincoln, who failed to make mon
ey out Of the sale Of the rich garments
which were presented to her by army
contractors and others who sought
thus to curry favor with her husband
1t is proposed by this to pension Mrs.
L. as the widow Of the COmmander-in
Chief, he, by some legal fiction, being
supposed to have been killed in battle.
Upon such reasoning Congress might
patrioticalIy determine to provision
the White House by ordering rations
for President Grant, and increase his
salary to any extent by allowing him
to draw money in Communication for the
ratious. The skill with which the
Radicals devise ways and means for
depicting the treasury is really re-
markable. If they want to give Mrs.
Lincoln five thousand dollars a year,
let them vote it straight out, without
reso-tiHg to any silly subterfuge.
