No forensic effort of the Pennsylvania cam

those who feebly parried the black accusations
which involve the Cameron Hartranft Ring
and Yerkes together, with the assertion that
Curtin had made no special mention of their
crimes, viii find in the report which we print
to-day matter enough for solemn reflection.
The speech is not only a compact argument
for the prosecution, but it is glowing and
vigorous appeal to the honest citizens of the
Keystone State to stand by their Treasury and
the integrity Of their laws. We do not believe
this ringing blast will fall on unheeding ears.

CHARLES SUMNER has at last,
il our opinion, made one good propo-

popular, because it is seen how utter

Of the most noted in political chican-

cause it is not exactly known how II

ton, during the history of this gov

been more persistently abused, than In
the present. lie is the only Presi-
dent who was ever accused of actu-
ally peddling in appointments. If
the President could hold office but
one term these embarrassments
would, to large extent, be removed.
There would be no temptation to
make party appointments; and with
au untrammeled mind he would make
appointments on account Of fitness
and merit. Then We would have q

A Digest Of the State Revenue
49, Law for 1879.

Below we present in epitomized
form the revenue law for the present
fiscal year, passed by the General
Assembly during the session just
closed. The State tax was reduced
from sixty to forty cents on the hum
dollars. which, during the presentj
monetary stringency, is very accept-
able 10 The people. The rate fixed |
by the Legislature was arrived at by
compromise. The majority report
held that fifty cents on the hundred
was as low as the rate could be put,
to meet the current expenses of the
State. Theminority report argued that
thirty was sufficient, and they finally
compromised on forty. A tax offiye
dollars is imposed on every criminal
case carried to tho Supreme Court,
| when the defendent has the costs to
pay, ard upon every Indictment in
the Circuit Court. A tax .oftwo
dollars in each criminal case submit
ted before magistrate,s also q tax
oftwo dollars is imposed on any case
| tried before any Mayor or Recorder.
Said officers are required to pay said
monies over TO the County Court
CLERK, instead of the Trustee, and the
| Clofk to the State Comptroller.
Claim Agents and architects are re-
quired TO pay tax of thirty-five, in
sieat OF, as heretofore, ten dollars
per aDnum. Parties holding State,
County or Cooperation bonds are re-
quiIed TO pay an advalorem tax on
the same, as on other property.
