Our Harrisburg Letter.
HARRlsBuRG, Feb. 10, 1870.


Dear Freemdn-After an animated Gis-
cussiun the Treasury bill introduced by Mr..
White, of Allegheny, passed the House final
ly on Tuesday night by vote of T6 to s.
The bill provides that the salary Of the
Treasurer shall be IS 900 per year. that he
shall give securities to the amount Of $780,
600. and that the funds shall be deposited
in Bank on interest for the benefit Of the
State.
An act supplementary to the acts relative
to elections was postponed until next Thurs
day. This act repeals the 18th section Of
the Registry Law and provides that town
ship and borough elections shall be held on
the third Friday in March, as heretofore.
a further supplement to the act entitled
an act to consolidate, revise and amend the
penal laws of this Commonwealth has been
introduced. 1t provides that where any par
ty 10 subj nnaed to testify in any prosecu-
tion for forgery, perjury or felony, and shall
be fined in a sum not exceeding two thous-
and dollars or undergo an imprisonment not
exceeding two years, or both, or either, al
the discretion of the Court
The following bills have also been pre-
sented: An act to divide the Borough OF
Carrolltown into two wards. and an act
granting pension to Elisha NJ. Luckett.
The act for the removal of the county sest
from EbeEsbnrg to Johnstown was reported
favoraLly, on Friday last, by TIE Committee
on Counties and Townships. II.

The Removal Farce.

In The House Of Representatives at Har-
risburg. on last Friday, the Committee on
New Counties and County Seats reported
favorably the celebrated bill providing for
the removal, if the people so decide BY their
votes, of the county seat from EbenSburg to
Johnstown. We have no doubt that the
leaders Of this ridiculous movement felt quite
jubilant over the news, and that in Johns.
town everything was and still continues to
be ''lovely" and ''the goose hangs high" :"
In this community, so far as we can judge.
the action of the Com nittee has not produced
any marked or unusual sensational nor has
it in the slightest degree ruffled the temper
of our people. On the contrary. it is regard
ed as the most stupendous joke of the season,
If not of the session. 1t is one thing to pro-
cure the report of bill, but it is another
and quite different thing. to mould it into
the shape of a law. 1t has yet to pass
through the several intricate and perilous
stages of a fiery legislative ordeal, and that
which is to-day luscious and tempting fruit
may yet, like Dead Sea apples, turn to ashes
on the lips. This is not the time, nor is this
the place, to discuss the merits of the issue,
For that there is reserved an appropriate
tribunal.
In connection with this subject, the Johns
town Tribune has asserted and reasserted
that the County Commissioners acted lille
gally in purchasing lot on which to erect
the new Jail. without having first obtained
the sanction of two successive Grand Juries,
as we'll as that of the Court.
Will the Tribune please to inform US where
the Act of Assembly which, in his judg-
meut, has thus been violated, can be found2
If he will consult the distinguished legal
gentleman who sent him the dispatch from
Harrisburg last Friday, even he will inform
him that the power to erect Jail implies
and carries with it the power to purchase
the necessary ground for that purpose.

TIE bill repeating tie fifteenth section OF
the Registry Law, which abolished the Spring
elections, was passed through its second
reading in the House on Thursday last
The bill now in course OF passage provides
that the several election, township. borough
and ward officers elected in October, 1869,
shall continue in ofice during the terms for
which they were elected. and until their
Successors shall have been duly elected and
qualified and fixes the time for hereafter
holding the township aud borough elections
on the third Friday in March. We think
that such are the provisions Of the law. 1t
is very defectively drawn. aud the Scion " be
accom- plishod the task. ought to make one
more effort in that direction and then for
ever quit the business.

THERE is a wall in Pennsylvania by reason
of the fact that the control of the Legisla
ture there has passed out of Radical hands,
and because the Governor. our old friend
Geary, no longer heeds the voice of them
that made him. Possessing foresight, his
Excellency sees change coming, and so trims
his sails to Democratic breezes, and similar
ly the Legislature does the same. These
things much perturb the faithful. and, with
a strange oblivion as to the suicidal nature
of the remedy. the Pittsburg Gazette propo
ses that the party purify itself by drumming
out all its "bummers" and thieves" This
done, it thinks to ''soon find the ways open.
perhaps through defeat or two. to fresh
and solid triumphs." 1t is pleasant to know,
first, that the Governor and Legislature of
Pennsylvania are drifting out of Radical
reach and, second. that, even at its best,
the Gazette sees no other immediate future
for its party than defeat.-N. Y. World

TIE PREsInENT APPOINTIM4 HIS Own
FATHER PosTMAsTER.-T The reappoint-
ment IF old Jesse R. Grant to be postmaster
Of Gov ington for four years logger is one of
those little things which is not easy to ac-
count for. Old Jesse does not need the Of
fee and the Office does not need old Jesse.
He is weak, querulous old man, incapable
because he is weak and unpopular because
he is queruo'ls.
Aside from having no claim upon the
Post Office Department and no capacity to
be Postmaster. he is the father of the Pres
ident of the United States. There is an OBJ
vioas impropriety, not undiluted with GER
tain absurdity. in his holding little village
place of this sort. If he is not above ii. as
very likely he is not, his offspring should be
above it. Old Jesse is seventy years of age,
and an awful old chatter and tattler.-
He has competency. Never very wise, he
has been growing in folly ever since his son
began to grow in fortune. Why should he
be Postmaster of Covington7 He ought to
be picked and preserved and slowed away
in one of the glass cases at the White House,
the Patent Office or the Smithsonian Insti
tute.-LouiSUiHe Courier Journal

A Match for ReVelS.


According to the statement Of the Nes
York World, some years ago a negro ra seal
was confined in Sing Sing prison and served
out his term. On graduating from that
celebrated institution, this dusky ind;vdu-
al became prOtege of the most Honorable
Charles Sumner, and studied law with that
sweet scented phlanthropist. Admitted to
the Boston bar, Mr.. A. Alpeora Bradley
for that is bis name-managed to practice
with such success as to be kicked out of
court. After beiIg struck from the roll of
practiciug attorneys in negro loving Massa-
chusetts, the great Al lpeora wandered down
South, where be has been playing the role
of paciticator. He became one of the poll
teal magnates of Georgia, was elected TO
the convention. and assisted to frame the
reconstructed constitution of that State un
I'll thrust out by his associates. For a GER
tain season Mr.. A Alpeora Bradley remained
under cloud as dark as his own skin; but
through the late Radical reconstruction of
Georgia by Grants satrap, Terry, the negl O
ex-convict has turned up in all the pom
and glory of State Senator. Taking Bull
lock, Terry, and the whole State under his
sable wing, he determined on fixing up things
and matters with headquarters, and sent the
following telegram to the elegant and couI t.
ly Colfax:
ATLANTA. Ga. February 7, 1870.
10 Vice President COtdr. Washington, d. C.:
SIR-lf we elect Senators before revising
the barbarous code of Georgia, and enacting
mixed jury and militia bill, the Republi
cans are defeated. ALPEoRA BRADLEY.
The effect of this message was terrible
upon the delicate Vice President His
breakfast was thrown up at once. and since
then his stomach has been greatly deranged.
He is still so much affected that he has not
been able to reply to the honorable ex-con-
vict. But the colored Senator could not
wait. He must be informed at once, and
therefore sent the annexed telegram to
"Massa" Grant:
ATLANTA February 9. 1870.
To President Grant, Washington. d. c.:
Please answer quickly-yes or no-should
We vote for Senators before repeating the
black code of Georgia?
A. ALPEoRA BRADLEY AND OTHERS.
Ulysses, who ate mule beef in Mexico and
has stomach like a horse. was able to stand
it. Fully appreciating the responsible and
digni6ed position of Summers bosom friend
Ulysses directed reply to be sent forthwith
to the following effect:
4. Il. Bradley, Georgia Legislature:
President has received your dispatch He
cannot advise you-prefers that you use your
own discretion.
HORACE PORTER, Secretary.
Late accounts from Georgia state that
Senators have been elected but whether the
black code was repealed or not we are not
prepared to say.-Phila. Epening Herald.

TIE Senate Committee in the contested
election case of Edward Scull and Hiram
F,ndlay have mads report awarding the
seat to Judge Findlay. Scuil did not even
attempt to offer any evidence sustaining his
allegation, that large number Of fraudu-
lent votes had been cast for Mr. Findlay in
Somerset county, although he was afforded
every facility by the committee to do So
He virtually abandoned the case, and con-
tented himself with addressing to the MEM
bers of the committee most abusive and
Insulting letter, which was returned 10 him
by q unanimous vote of the committee To
contest Mr.. Findlay's plain and admitted
right to bis seat was a fraud from the begin
ming, and has reflected anything but honor
on Scull and those who stood at his back.
The other contested seat in the Senate
that of Diamond against Watt-has not yet
been disposed Of.

MISSISSIPPI SENAToRs.-As soon as the
Mississippi bill shall be passed there will
probably arise an interesting personal ques-
tion touching the admission as Senators of
Revels. negro. and Ames. the military satrap
by whose bayonets the State was carried for
the Republicans and his own election to the
Senate effected. The proceeding is regarded
by Democrats as gross outrage and bold
erstep towards a military despotism than
even the election of the negro Reves. 1t is
still probable that there will be objection to
the swearing in of these persons, and that
their papers will be referred to the Judiciary
Committee. 1t is objected to Ames that he
was uever a citizen of Mississippi, but mere
ly an army officer there on duty that he
got and that he yet retains his commission
and will continue to retain it, quitting the
State in case bis admission is refused.

REGISTERED LETTERs.-The Post
Office Department has issued crcu-
lar relative to registered letters,
which will produce "a much-needed
reform in the registering system.-
Heretofore, when a registered letter
was not called for by the person to
whom it was addressed, it was sent
to the Dead Letter Office, to be from
thcre returned to the writer, provid-
ed his name or address could be dis
covered. This plan resulted in con-
siderable delay, at least and to OBJ.
vlate the same, and provide for the
direct return OF "uncaled for" letters
to the writer thereof, the department
directs that the postmaster receiving
q registered letter shall require the
sender to write his name and address.
plainly upon the end of the envelope,
in the same way as business men
print their names and addresses upon
their business envelopes. After let
ter romans in an office for thirty
days without being called for, it is
then returned to the office from
which sent, the postmaster Of which
will endeavor TO return it to the writ
err. If he cannot be found, the letter
IS then TO be sent to the Dead Letter
Office where it will be opened and
perused for some clue TO the changed
location OF the writer, rs in the case
OF all letters sent to that office.
