Coal and Congress.

of London, sighed aEd waited for but died
without the sight the monopolists in coal
have obtained. Mr.. Knapp wished to be
let alone, but a pitiless policeman and a
heartless judge and jury interfered with him
and sent him to Australia. The authors of
the corner in coal, thanks To the complais-
ance of Congress, are released from the dan
ger for another year. The House, indeed
repealed the duty on coal. But the Senate
vas too busy to discuss it. The absorbing
business of that body was the Ku Klux bill, ,
of which the pretext was that it was needed
to protect the lives of American citizens in
the South.
Yet, while the Senate was displaying this
soliCitude for the lives of Southern men.
men, women, and children we're dying in
New York because they could not afford to
buy coal. If commission were appointed
TO investigate the condition of the poor of
New York, as commission has been ap-
pointed to investigate the condition Of the
poor of the South, it would be found that
the sudden rise in the price OF coal had kill
ed fifty people in this city during January
and February for every person whom the X
Klux had killed in the South during the
whole year if, indeed it ever killed any body.
If foreign coal had been free year age the
high price Of coal, and. what is even worse,
the sudden and capricious rise in the price
of coal, could not have been brought about
last winter. If coal were free now we
would be secure from the repetition of the

free coal. Upon the Senate, therefore, be

New York last winter by its connivance-
To say that coal could suddenly be put IN

intelligence. It is declaration that COM
bination embracing hundreds of operators
and dealers in coal could be managed as sue
cessfully as combination embracing only
three great corporations. Until that declar-
alton is made good. the misery, the sickness,
and the death which dear coal has wrought,
and the plunder of the whole north to the
extent of twenty million of dollars for the ber-
eht of three great and rich coal companies,

refused to make coal cheap by allowing free

Butler and Far nsHorth.

The closing hour Of the late Session of
Congress was signalized, as we'll as disgraced,
by vulgar personal controversy between
Butler and Farnsworth (both high priests in
the Radical synagogue) that could only be
parallelcd by wholesale indulgence in pure
6ilingsgate by two hags in a New York or
London Fish market. Farnsworth has been
after Butler for more than a year with a
sharp stick, exposing and holding up to
public infamy his plundering and rapacity,
while he (Butler) was connected with the
army. as we'll as since he has been in Con-
gress. On the occasion referred to. Butler
bad obtained the consent of the House to
make personal explanation in reference to
the difficulty between himself and Garrett
Davis in the Senate chamber, a few weeks
ago, at which time Senator Davis pronounced
him to be "the universally recognized black
guard, coward and scoundrel in the United
States" Having disposed of the unpleas-
antness between himself and the Kentucky
Senator in his usual clustering and insolent
manner, Butler proceeded to make general
defense of his character for honesty and in
tegrity, and especially to vindicate himself
against the charge of rank dishonesty and
swindling which Farnsworth, en- a former
occasion. had made against him as Treasurer
of the Asylum for Disabled Soldiers Farms
worth, in reply. dealt the Massachusetts,
Bob Acres the following stunning blow and
thus sent the noisy braggart to Corentry:
THAT If that transaction. and the testi>
mony given by Butler before the Committee
on Military Affairs. at the last session. were
before any petit jury in the United States. it
would convict him (Butler) of embezzleroent
and perjury"
Farnsworth being the judge and having
the evidence before him, the picture he ba.
drawn of the acknowledged leader Of the
Radical party in the House, and the conf
Dental guide and counsellor of Grant. true
TO life thodgh it be, is not very pleasant to
contemplate.

ABOUT as cool and barefaCcd an attempt
to swindle the treasury as we remember sver
to have heard Of, was made by a Radical
from Michigan, two hours before the fual
adjournment of Congress. A special cleo
tion was very recently held in one of the
Congressional districts of that State to fill
vacancy caused by the election of Mr. Ferry,
a member of the House, to the u. S. Senate
The district being strongly Republican, a
toy0l man by the name OF Foster was elect
ed. So anxious was he to make a nice
thing out of it, that without even waiting
Tor his credentials, be left his home In hot
haste and arrived at Washington on the
evening before Congress adjourned. On the
next day, and only tucO hours before Congress
ceased to exist, Radical member from New
York modestly asked that Foster should be
sworn In. When the Speaker asked for his
certificate of election he was informed that
Foster had not that convenient document
with him, but that it was we'll known that
he had been elected. The House failed to
see it in that light. and very properly refused
to admit him on hearsay evidence. 1t was
very smart dodge on the part of Foster to
attempt to pocket his pay for the entire
session, for merely occupying his seat t,co
hours. His little mistake In this instance
will teach him that when he returns next
December he must not forget his papers.

strife in the land, to renew the issues of the
war, obstruct the return of peace and pros
perity to the Southern States, because it is
thus that they seek to divert the attention of
the country from the corruption and extrav-
igance in their administration of public
affairs, and the dangerous and prohgate
at tempts they are making towards the re-
election of a centralized military government.
In the five years of peace following the war,
the Radical administration have expended
81 200 900 900 on ordinary purposes alone,
being within 5000 600. 900 of the aggregate
amount spent for the same purposes, in war
and in peace during the seventy-one years
preceding June 80. 1861, including in
either case the sum paid upon principal or
interest of the public debt. 1t is triflipg
with the intelligence of the people for the
Radical leaders to pretend that this vast
sum has been honestly expended. Huns
dreds of millions of it have been wantonly
squander ed. The expenditures of the gov
erument for the fiscal year ending June 80,
| 1861. were only S62 900, 900; while for
precisely the same purposes, civil list, army,
navy, pensions and Indians, S164, 900 900
were expended during the fiscal yoar ending
June so, 1870. No Indignation can be too
stern, and no scorn too severe for the assor-
tions by unscruplous Radical leaders that
the great Democratic and Conservative party
of the Union. has or can have sympathy
with disorders or violence in any part of
the country, or in the deprivation of any
man of his rights under the Constitution. 1t
is to protect and perpetuate the rights
which every freemaa chooses to revive in
all hearts the feelings of friendship. affection
and harmony, which the best guaran tees
of law and order and to throw around the
humblest citizen, wherever he may be, the
protecting Hsis of those safeguards of per-
sonal liberty which the fundamental laws of
the land assume. that we invoke the aid Of
all good men in the work of peace and recon
cilation. We invite their generous cooper
alton, irrespective of all former differences
of opinion. 50 that the harsh voice of discord
may be silenced that a new and dangerous
| sectional agitation may be checked that
the burdens of taxation, direct or indirect
may be reduced 20 the lowest point consis
tent with good faith to every just, national
obligation, and with a strictly economical
administration of the government, and that
the States may be restored in their integrity
and true relations to our Federal Union.

SUMNER MEETING OF STATE Ep1roR1A

SUMNER MEETING OF STATE EDITORIAL
MISUNDERSTANDING are being per-
fected for holding Summer meeting of the
Editorial Association at Williamsport. The
time fixed upon is the second Wednesday of
June. Just at that season the country will
be most attractive, and trip such as is
proposed cannot fail to be full of pleasure.
1t is probable that an excursion will be
made to Watkins Glenn, in the State of
New York, which is said to be one of the
most beautiful spots in the United States.
Arrangements will be made with the differ
ent railroads of the State. by which editors
will be passed free. with ladies accompany
ing there. The meeting will be one of a
social rather than a business character, and
the prospect is that it will be largely attend
ed. The Democratic Editorial Association
meets at Bellefonte on the second Tuesday
in Juue. and it is understood that it will ad-
journ in time to allow members to Join the
State Editorial Association at Williarnsport.

The AppOrIionment Bill,

Contrary to general expectation, the COM
mittee of conference on the Apportionment
bill, after several fruitless attempts to ar
rive at a satisfactory agreement, made re-
port to their respective Houses on yesterday
week, which was promptly adopted. In
the Senate the vote stood 27 in favor of the
the report to against it, and IN the House
81 for to 80 against it. The bill as passed
will be found in another column. There is
no more difficult and embarrassing duty in
our State legislation than the preparation
| and passage of fair and just apportionmert
I bill. That perfectly satisfactory bill has
ever heretofore been passed, is contrary to
all experience. Some counties that are
Democratic and others that are Republican,
must, from their peculiar location, be denied
what their electors naturally claim to be their
just and equitable represen tation. The press
ent bill is unfair in two particulars. 1t at
taches a close and doubtful county Ike
Perry to the strong Radical county of Dau-
phin for three members. Dauphin should
| have had ttrO members on a deficiency of
1000 taxables and Perry one on a defcien-
cy Of 900. IF Warren was entitled to a
separate member. surely Perry, which con-
tains almost 900 more taxablos than War.
| ren. was unqusstionably entitled to the same
| favor. The worst feature in the bill. is
the monstrous and unnatural union of Wash
ington, Beaver and Butler for four memb bers.
| No valid defence can be made in favor
e l. 6 E,
with deficiency of about 5000, is to elect
one Senator, who will maintain that Wash
ington, with deficiency of little more
than 1000, was not fairly entitled to trco
representatives. Butler and Beaver ought
each to have had one. The true principle
that ought to undcrle any fair Apportion
ment bill is, that where Republican con-
sttuency is given either Senator or Rep-
resentativs on a large deficiency, the like
| measure Of ercessive justice aught to be
meted out to a Democratic distr let, for pre-
! Ciscly the same reason. But even with the
! two objections referred to. the bill is as just
| as could have been expected under all the
circumstances. 1t is vast improvement on

! vouIly to be wished, in view of the bitter
experience of the past seven years. That
an Apportionment bill approaching 80 near
to fairness as this one does, was passed at all,
is due to the manly and determined stand
taken by the Democratic members of the
| Senate, from which no threats could drive
them. They are entitled to the sincere
thanks and generous confidence of the Dem
ocracy of the State.
