The I,egislature.


Our State Legislature met at Harrisburg,
on Tuesday, January Sd. great crowd
was present, and the liveliest interest was
manifested in the proceedings. Owing to
the deploI able fact that the first Senatorial
district went Democratic in the late special
election to fill the place OF Watt, deceased,
the Democracy, for the first time in long
term of years, was in the ascendency in the
Senate. Hon. VIM. A Wallace, of Clear
field, was elected Speaker, notwithss snding
the fact that Buckalew had declared that he
wouldn't vote for him. As is usual on such
times and at such places, Mr. Wallace made
a little speech, in the course of which he
said that the objects which would govern
him during his official career, and not him
only, but the Democracy in general, would be
ito guide our much loved State in such a
channel as to increase and deyelope her re-
sources; to cause her waste places to resound
with the hum Of busy industry; to give
equal and honest representation to every cit
izen; to retrench in her expenditure to pay
her debts; to check the tide of special leg
islation: to banish corrupting and debasing
influences from the scat Of power" This
is big programme. but We hopei it will be
carried out to the letter, though We fear it

Democracy certa taiuly deserves a bright

during the elections at Atlanta, in Georg gia
A systematic effort was made to prevent ne
grocs from voting. A crowd of roughs,
while pretending to keep the way to the
poll. clear, prevented negroes from deposit
ing their ballots A plan had evidently
been duly arranged. Two lines were form
ed, one for vTiite and one Tor colored voters.
The line for the white men was not inter
fered with, and the voting progressed finely,
but it was impossible for the negroes to get
to the polls, blocked as they were with

We shall, doubtless, soon hear of seriou:
political troubles in Kentucky. Those fan
tastic midnight marauders, the kuklux
klan. are roaming at will, through severa
counties of the State, maltreating and kill
ing inofcn.ive persons. Within six month:
they have murdered nineteen individuals in
the four counties to which they have devo
ted their attentions Tire Governor would
willingly put an end to these outrages; but
as he cannot successfully do so without the
interposition of the militia, he will probably
leave the klansmen to pursue their occupa
tions without hindrance For governor
to check the kuklux is henious crime, one
demanding impeaching, as the governor O.

torial impeachments are, doubtless, parts o.

lucky and North Carolina hold out to the
emigrants for whose arrival they are SO pa

SPAIN-The assassination of Gen. Prin
is. no doubt, part of the great conspiracy
to destroy the enemies of the Spanish Re
public. How little sympathy there may be
for the deceased, is almost concusively pro
ven by the fact, that at the time he was shot
at the corner of Plaza where a large mum
Der of citizens and soldiers were gathered.
1t would seem almost impossible that the
deed could have been perpe,rated without
the full knowledge of those standing there,
and the failure to discover the guilty parties
al once, indicates desire to protect them
from punishment True it is asserted that
the members of the Ministry of War are in
actual possession of proof sufficient to iden
tity the assassins, but the fact o. their not
having been arrested, induces the belief that
the report is mere Idle rumor 1t is not
saying too much to assert that there is no
human being in Spain, whose death would
have been such an irreparab!e injury to the
future welfare OF King Amadeus. as that of
General Prim Admiral Topete, to whom
the Spanish Cortes, at once voted full pow
ers as PIim s successor, was a prominent
opponent Of Amadeus, and was in favor of
the Duko OF Montpensier.

The GoYernorIs Message.

The annual message of Gov. Geary, which
we furnished TO our readers in an extra last
week, WAS transmitted TO the Legislature on
the fourth instant.
The Governor gives general review of the
affairs of the State. and touches upon num-
Der of important topics connected with the
public welfare. In regard to the finances OF
the State the Governor makes a satisfactory
report. He says that every demand upon
the Treasury for ordinary and other exren-
ses has boen promptly paid, and the public
debt materially reduced, so that a public
confidence in the securities of the Common
wealth has been inspired which enables them
to command the highest premium in the
market. The reduction during the year end
Ing November 30, 1870, was 81, 702, S79 05.
He tavors the calling Of convention to
revise the State Constitution, and make such
amendments as an enlightened public senti-
ment demands.
The prosperous condition of our common
school system is alluded to in the message,
aud a number of suggestions for its improve
ment are offered. A satisfactory exhibit of
the affairs of the schools for soldiers or
phan, is also made.
In regard to the question of protection
for home Industry the views of the Govern
or are sound, and he advances some unan-
swerable arguments against the tree-trade
heresy that we CONNIE I'D to the notice of the
fo-called revenue retormers

bic long Documents is an able and interesting
one, and our readers should give it careful

A SwINDLED GovERNoR-Th Hallou-
eli Gazette says an Ex-Governor of Maine
has recently been on trip of business and
pleasure to Omaha. On his way home he
fell in and travelled with a pretended fur
dealer from the Rocky Mountains. After
he bad secured the confidence of the Gov
ernor by telling him many pretty stories, the
skinny" gentleman was presented on the
train by bogus expressman, with an ex-
press bill for $500. Unfortunately this wen
der of the bear skins" did not have this
amount of available funds with him, but
had check for SO, 500 on bank in New

date him, loaned him $3.50 until they ar

ned him of 81, SO, the sharper disappeared,
leaving the Governor to travel alone to his
rural home in Maine, firm believer in total

Foreign War Gossip,

1t is asserted that the citizens of Alsace
are deeply embittered at the Prussisns.
The women wear mourning for the national
humiliation, and the men have given up the
Alsatian pdtois and speak only French. The
children hoot the German soldiers, and
taunt them by singing the Marsailles. This
does not look much like consenting to terri
torial annexation through cession.
Should the army Of Bordeaux fulfil its
announced programme of marching direct
ly on Paris. -" We may expect the early part
OF this year to witness one of the most san
culinary struggles of the war. If the two
! divisions of the army of the Loire are able
to occupy Prince Frederick Charles, and the
Duke of Mecklenburg, there is some posi-
bility of the newly organized levies from
the south and west having the opportunity
Of co operating with the garrison of Paris
/, for the relief of the city. When the French
are not deferred by the rigors of an unusu-
ally severe winter from attempting military
movements on scale so extensive as those
now in progress, it is pretty clear that the
nation has large reserve of determination
and energy TO draw upon.
SO Far as can be gathered from the daily
rather than losing in the contest around
Paris. It is now evident the supply of food
in Paris Is much larger than has been re-
ported, and that the French are active in
their assaults on the Prussian investing for
ces. Still there is nothing in the news that
indicates that the seige will be broken, or
that Paris will escape the humiliation of
surrender.
At last cry has been raised against Tro-
chu. He is accused of feebleness, which
in the estimation of the French people, is
nearly as much a crime as treschery. 1t is
not possible to know what difficulties may
have surrounded the French general in hi.
defense OF Paris, but certainly no remarka
bly, vigorous sorties have been made. A
curious rumor is current to the effect that
the Prussians, in the event of satisfactory
treaty of peace not being agreed upon, will
hold France as conquered territory, by hold
ing the forts around the city and keeping
up 4 line of military communication with
Prussia. This necessity will hardly arise
we think, or be submitted to, even if it
should occur.
The French under Bourbaki are reported
to have commenced march toward Ger
many.
The bombardment Of the forts to the
south and east of Paris has been renewed
with great energy. Whatever may have
been the result of the battle between Faid-
herbe and mantenffel, Won Moitke is evi
dently determined to run DO further unnec-
essary risk of interference from armies of
relief. Paris must be taken, and the three
hundred thousand troops now beseiging it
must conquer the yet unconquered terrific
ry.
