DDingS nj Harrisburg.

The Lancaster MteHigencer gives the
following inside view of prominent af-
fairs at Harrisburg:
Two years ago when the Pennsylya
mia Railroad Company removed one of
its Solicitors from an Attorneys office
in small country town into the Senate
of the United States, Robert w. Mac
key was put in charge of the Treasury
by the same influence, though not
known even by name to more than
ten Representatives the day before his
nomination. In this division of plum
der the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa
ny got the lions share, in the United
States Senatorship, and Cameron, the
JackaPs booty in the Treasury. Last
winter Cameron's candidate for Treas.
urer was up again, and had the caucus
nomination secured, when the Pennsvl.
vania Railroad drew off enough Replib.
licans 20 elect Gen. Irwin with the aid
of the Democrats. This was done to
humble Simon Cameron, who had in
Judiciously bOasted that Senator Scott
was the offspring of his power, and at
the same time to teach Mackey to whom
MS allegiance was due. Cameron bore
the castigation with becoming meek
ness, and now the lion and jackal are
hunting in couples again. The Rail-
road Company has flung to Cameron
and his underlings the use of the unex-
pended balance in the Treasury. Its
own share is to come out of the legisla.
tion of this wiuter.
This election of Mackey lifts the edge
OF the curtain which will soon rise in
this drama ofprofligacy and corruption.
The arrangements for the passage of the
Nine-Million-Bill are believed to be
fully settled, the principal operators
only waiting until all preliminaries
have been satisfactorily arranged. Had
Governor GEARY permitted the bill of
last winter to become law, it is esti-
mated that the chiefs of the railroad
gang would-have divided among them
selves not less than two millions of dol.
lars, leaving seven millions and half,
which would have constructed and
equipped the roads, besides affording q
handsome margin to the contractors
and Others who were entitled to pay for
services in the lobby. The conspiracy
Dill of this session will be the same old
serpent in new skin. A majority of
tWo-thlrds in both branches is not ne.
cessary, as it is whispered that Govern
or GEARY's views have undergone
complete modification since the vaun-
ted veto last year.

The conclusions to which / have ar

of 22d April, 1856.
2. Whenever it is alleged that a road
is within the exception, the petition to
the quarter sessions should so state, in
order that the fact may beinquired into,
and the usual direction in regard to

3. The town council may ordain and

1. When the town council and the
owners Of lands disagree in regard TO

cases.
.. In all cases of view to lay out n

omit the direction as to damages.

Thad. Stevens Estate.

The late Thaddeus Stevens, who died
leaving large estate to heirs and devil
sees, among whom colored "house-
keeper" occupied prominent place,
appears to have selected as his execu-
tors men as obstinate and defiant of law
and public opinion as was the testator
himself. These executors, although re.
quired by law to file an inventory of
the estate within thirty days after they
assumed the duties of their position,
have neglected to do so for nearly two
years and half. Proceedings to COM
pei them to perform this duty have
been taken by the law officers of the
city and county of Lancaster, in order
that the taxes due to the county treas
ury may be assessed. The motive for
this obstinacy is charged by the Mtelli-
gencer to consist in the fact that the es.
tate includes many thousands of dollars
in Pacific Railroad bonds, proof of
which will go far towards destroying
the Great Commoner's" reputation for
honesty.

The Hon. JOHN Q. ADAMS, in a late
speech, estimated the value of railroads
and their franchises at $4,000, 200, 900,
and spoke of the influence which such
vast interest would exert on State
and Federal legislation. An exchange
says that "let it be admitted that under
the clause Of the Federal Constitution,
which gives Congress power to 'regu-
late commerce between the States, the
National Legislature can take upon
itself the regulation of our railroads,
and the $4,000, 100000 invested in them
VIII take excellent care to regulate
Congress. Thus far the Pacific railroads
alone have controlled Congress-

IN replying to various attempts to
defend General GRANTS policy of EN-.
ploying military officers as secretaries,
and in other civil positions, the Wash.
ington Patriot declares the Executive
Mansion has been made sort of head
quarters, where three Generals are on
duty, performing civil functions wholly
inconsistent with military duties, for
which they receive pay from the Treas
ury. Not only are they retained in
commission, when, by act of Congress,
the very fact of their present employ
ment would cause each to "cease to be
an officer of the army" but, as in the
case of General DENT, special favorit-
ism is shown, to retain them in good
places to the detriment of valuable Off.

A RETURN to silver fractional cur

York Journal Of Commerce. 1t is urged
in favor of such movement, that sill
Vei coinage might be but in circulation
upon such basis as to render it entire
ly safe and practicable, and at such
rates of weight as would effectually
prevent its being boarded or exported.
The amount issued could be limited by
law, and the coin might be made re-
deemable in larger currency. There
never was time when new coin
could be so easily introduced as at pres
ent, and there never will be a time
when such a change will be more well
come.

Senator WADE, of Ohio, Prof WHITE
of Cornell University, New YORK, and
DIR. SAMUEL G. HOWE, of Boston, un-
der the resolution to authorise him to
appoint Commissioners to visit and re-

be regretted that men in whom the

trial of some of the persons connected
with the alledged frauds in the Metho-
dist Book Concern at New York.

chusetts to throw Senator WILSON over
board and send Mr.. DAWES or Secreta.
ry BOUTWELL, to the Senate. As far as
developments have been made, Mr..
DAWES seems to be the favorite. No
body would expect Massachusetts to
JOIN in the attempt of portion of the
Republicans to reform the character of
the Federal Senate, yet upon the prin.
ciple that "a good thing may come out
of Nazareth we are not without hope
there may be some truth in the state
ment. Mr.. DAWES would be a very
decided improv cement upon WILSON.
Since writing the above WILSON has
been reelected. OF course the effort to
induce Massachusetts, to do decent
thing was only spasmodic. WILSON is
man of very ordinary capacity and
was "jobber" during the LINCOLN
administration. President GRANT
holes him at respectful distance.

VICE ADMIRAL PORTER has at
length been confirmed as Admiral, by
a vote Of about three to one in the U.

are bothered to know whether this re-
suit is complimentary to President
GRANT, who nominated him, or to
PORTER, who abused the President, or
to either, or both, or to neither. Those
distinguished heroes of defeats, Gener-
ais BUTLER and BANKS, of both of
whom PORTER wrote most contempt
eously during the war, certainly are
not complimented.

SPEAKER WALLACE, in his address
to the Senate, upon assuming Office, laid
down most wise and comprehensive
platform for the Democratic party of
this State. He said: "to lead the col
umn Of healthy progress; to increase
and develop State resources to cause
her waste places 20 resound with the
hum of busy industry; to give equal
and honest representation to every citi-
zen; to retrench her expenditures to
pay her debts; to check the tide

ing and debasing influences from the
seats of power, are objects worthy the
intellccts and energies of each of u.s.
This programme covers wide field of
needed action. For the past ten years
the Radicals have ruled the State on
narrow, partisan and selfish principles.
They have crowded the statute books
with special laws; sold legislation for a
price; and lowered the tone of political
actions and morals to most deplora-
BILE degree. When State Treasurer
was to be elected, the Legislature was
turned into broker shop, and the
choice of United States Senator was
determined by cash, and promises to
pay-not honest votes. The same spirit
OF reckless, shameless corruption was
infused into all branches of the public
service, and thus the character and
standing of the State injured and drag.
ged in the mire before her sister Com
monWealths. Speaker WALLACE has
a platform which will turn
over fresh leaf in State politics, and
put the old ship upon new track, with
the Constitution as her chart. This is
the mission of the Democratic party.
One branch of the State Legislature is
IN their hands. This gives them the
power to check abuses. If they do this |
IN firm, decided manner; if they
propose wise laws, and defeat bad ones;
the next contest will put both branches
under Democratic control, and thus
make them potent for good to the Com
monwealth. The Democratic party
look to the Senate at this time for tho
of such a system of laws
rs will organize complete victory for
hem in the future. e.-A9e.

DEATHS DoINGs.- Congressman JOHN
CovoDE died very suddenly at Harris.
burg on the 11th inst. He was a bold,
reckless and venomous politician-un-
educated, of little talent, but cunning,
energetic and inscriptions. He was
about 63 years of age.
Hou. EPHRAIM BANKS died at Lew
istown, last week, aged about so
years. He was the first Auditor Gen
eral elected by the people, and at the
time of his death was an Associate
Judge of Mifilin county. He was one
of the purest of public men and was
held in the highest esteem in all the re-
lations of life. In fact, it may be truth
fully said he led blameless life as
nearly as the saying may be true of any
mortal.
Hon. JOHN HICKMAN died at West
Chester last week. Always physically
weak, he was intellectually one of the
ablest men in the State. His integrity
was at all times unquestioned, his intel
lect clear, his friendships decided, and
his hatred intense. Though inconsistent
as politician, he was popular at home,
as is fully evinced by the extraordinary
fact that he was elected to Congress in
the same district first by the Democrats,
next by the Republicans, and after
wards in opposition to both parties.
He was about 60 years of age.
p. S. We learn, since the above was
in type, that Mr.. HICKMAN denies that
he is dead. Regarding him as a truth
full man, we are bound to take his word
that he "still lives"
