NE lslSG OF THE TREAS
uRf.-Quite an animated debate sprang up in
the House yesterday over an amendment to the
Appropriation bill, striking out the salaries of
the supervising Architect and other officers of
the construction branch of the Treasury.
The debate served to bring out pretty gen-
erai expression OF opinion as to the merits of
the Supervising Architect, Mr.. Mullet, and the
result was highly complimentary to him, the
amendment being rejected by vote of ayes 40,
noes 7s.
The main complaint urged against him was
that he made extravagant estimates, but. as was
pointed out by Mr.. Stevenson and others. the
architect, man of rare distinction in his pro-
fesson for ability and experience, and having the
large and liberal ideas which are common to
artists, might naturally desire that whatever is
built by the Government shall be worthy of the
Government, but that if his estimates are t,o
large 1t is for Congress to cut them down. The
loss to the Government, it was shown from
numerous examples cited, has not been in
the estimates, but in having dishonest and un-
worthy officials. Various members-Messrs.
Lynch, Butler, Stevenson, Starkweather, Pc
tiers, and others-testified i'm very warm terms
not only to the capacity Of MIR. MulIett, but to
his honesty and vigilance; and at the end of the
debate, the amendment was rejected by the
decisive vote above mentioned.

ENocn ARDEN IN REAL LIrE.-About thir-
teen years ago, q German named kOOp left St
Louis for the West to seek his fortune. He left
his family behind him, consisting OF his wife,
handsome young woman, and four sons. His
adventures in California we're varied and ex-
citing. He ceased to write, and as the years
rolled on and no word came from the wanderer
his friends concluded that he was dead. Hls
wife arrived at the same conclusion, and three
years ago was married to respectable Germa an
named Louis Krieger. After thirteen years
absence, K00p has recently reappeared. Having
had reasonable success in California, he caIae
10 st. Louis to look after his wife and children.
He soon learned the position Of matters, and was
doubtless somewhat surprised; but he insisted
upon having his children. As the boys are now
grown up to an age when they can decide for
themselves, he had, of course, to apply to them,
and is endeavoring to persuade them TO return
with him to CalifOrnia.-I. Louis Repubticoa.

HARR1sBURG, March 8. 1870

1t is said history repeats itself and if
this be true, there has been produced
during the present week, a most ludicrous
example of repetition. The farcical CON-
mittee of the Senate, known as the Fl
nance Committee Of that body, has been
outAanked and outwitted by one of its in
tended victims After torturing Mackey,
the present State Treasurer, most unmer-
cifully, and to the hearts content of every
member Of the Committee, they brought
Gen. Irwin before them, who was expect
ed to undergo the same ordeal, as patent
ly as Mr.. Mackey had done. No doubt
some of the members said within them
selves of Irwin as did the old Ph;listines
of Sampson, send for him that he may
make sport for us, and 10! he did amuse
them more than they anticipated. wish
it distinctly understood, that 1 am not

the Treasury at present, or in the past,
and if any of those parties are guilty of
any official crime l hope to see the offend
ers brought to justice speedily. The
House has finally concluded its labors on
the general appropriation bill of the ses-
sion. 1t contains nothing of special in

The Franking Privilege.

The Hon. Henry A. Reeves, of New
York in an address to his constituents
explaining his vote against the abolition
of the Franking Privilege makes the
following remarks:
1t was not expected or desired by the
majority that the bill should become law
in the shape in which it passed the House
of Representatives, but the object was to
win popular applause for a seeming compli-
ance with manufactured popular senti-
ment, and then to cast the responsibility of
subsequent modification or defeat upon the
Senate. Had there been an honest inten-
ton to effect genuine, substantial reform
of existing abuses, which was all that the
people really asked for, it would have been
easy for the House committee to draft a
reasonable and proper bill to that end but
by permitting such bill as they did report
to be rushed through without deliberation or
amendment, it was apparent that the vote
in the House had no further significance
than as mere tub to the whale II n n
And as to the free circulation of newspa-
pers and periodicals in the counties where
published, and their free interchange with
each other l confidently assume that not
ohS Ia ohO VI
who signed these petitions for the abolition
of the franking privilege dreamed of asking
us to revolutionize principle and prac-
tice which are almost coeval with the Gov
ernment and are rooted in the very nature
of free institutions. 1t has been, it is an
American policy always and in all feasible
ways to encourage the dissemination of in
telligence among the people. In the per-
fomance of this vital function the local
county press-those wide-spreading roots
of the modern tree of knowledge, which
gather up facts from an infnitude of sour
| ces, and return to the soil in which they
grow, the elaborated elements of the world S
mental growth-have been, are, and ever
must be all all-important part. The direct
effect of compelling subscribers for these
papers to pay postage on them is to add so
much to their cost, and thereby to cripple
their usefulness by multiplying the difficult
ties under which they now labor.
Although it is universally believed that
this privilege is much abused and that
there is need of very great reform, the
sweeping bill passed by the House, was
neither asked for, or expected by the pub.
lie, and the ideas expressed in the above
extract will meet with general approval.

divested the state of its right in the land.
They do not appear to be aware of the
fact, that mere occupation or possession of
vacant lands give no title whatever against
the State, and that the exercise of own
ership in such cases does not raise the
presumption of grant, nor does aay stu-
tufe of tia,itations run against me Com
mon~edsth. 1t is due to all parties con-
cerned that this very prevalent and ero-
NOUS impression should be corrected"
"The preparation of these lien dock
cts it is believed has been the FIRST practi-
cal step in the direction of closing up
the accounts due on lands, and whilst the
acts on which they are based, have in
duced perhaps one sixth of those own
ing unpatented lands on which surveys
had been returned at the date of the
passage of the act Of Goth May, 1864, to
take out patents The full force and effect
Of the lao sctW be nore apparent uke',

This appears to be strong intimaton
that the money due the commonwealth
will be promptly collected as soon as pos
sible, after the expiration of the stay on
the 18th Of August, 1870,
