what Says senator AIcorn /:

Twelve months ago when II. w.
Warren, as the organ of the Carpet-Bag
legislators, telegraphed to Washington
that the State was alive with armed con-
spiritors and that disorder..Jyas 50 much
in the ascendant that federal bayonets
were needed to preserve the peace, Gov.
Alcorn responded that the statement was
calumny concocted for the basest pur-
poses and in published letter he took
care to present an array of unanswerable
facts in reply to a fabrication of similar
kind which had been perpetrated by
Ames
These vindications were no less season
able than manly. The time has now
come for their author again to be heard.
The calumnious reports Of Emory made
on the authority Of r. G. Powers, acting
Governor, and published by the War
Department, right under the nose of the
Senator-to say nothing Of the atrecious
charges Of Morton in his New York
speech-furnishes the occasion. Mr..
Alcorn can now meet the falsifer face to
face. He can speak 20 him eye to eye,
and his utterances will go out from the
Senate Chamber to all parts of the
Union. As Senator he can also speak
for his State Will he do 1t? Her eyes
are turned to-himl The obligation to
refute the Powers-Emory stories, is
doubly enhanced by the fact that but for
his abandonment of the Executive Chair
their author would not have been in the
position from which they have emanated
as one clothed with authority.
The wise man has said that there is a
time for all things; and the time has
come for Senator Alcorn to make him
self heard! Is he equal to the emergen-

The Executive Mansfom-.-A Costly
Luxury which Omght 30 be
DfSpensed With

Since the revelation of the extraordi-
nary expenditures on account of the Ex
ccutive Mansion by the perversion of the
Contingent Fund from the objects defined
in the law to the personal and household
uses of its occupant, Joined TO the extrav
agant appropriation of s44, 900 for repair
ing and furnishing it-there is generally
expressed opinion that the best DISPOSE
ton which could be made of the concern
would be to sell it for the benefit of the
taxpayers.
In former times when taxes were low
and the property valuation Of the State
was four times more than it now Is, she
salary Of the Governor was three thous-
and dollars In a mood of kindness for
very popular Executive (the large
hearted McRae) who dispensed unbound
ed hospitality to high and los, rich and
poor, and would have left the Executive
Office with less of the worlds goods than
he went in if his salary had been SOC, 200,
the compensation was increased durin,,
his Administration, not without. strong
opposition, to 81, 000-but this was ex-
ceptional. The pay of McNutt, Tucker,
Brown, Matthews, Quitman and Foote
was SO, 900. 1t ought to be reduced to
| that figure now, if ever, unless it be es-
tablished as rule that the emoluments
of the Officeholders and their means of
luxurious living should increase in the
same proportion that the income Of the
tOiling people is diminished.
1t is self-evident proposition that the
disproportion in the pay of the Governor
and of the other State officers is unjust
and unreasonable. His labors are not
heavier than theirs, and are lighter and
| less responsible than of the Auditor and
| Treasurer. But he is receiving double
the pay, with. princely residence thrown
in, and such perquisites as gas, coal,
cutting wood, linen, repairiRSS linen (see
Contingent Fund Report &c, &C., DC.
This should all be abolished. The ap-
preparation for unforeseen emergencies
in the Executive Department" as ex-
planned in the law, are needed, but there
is occasion for the enforcement of the
penalty for its misuse. As to ''the
Mansion, it is a luxury which the tax
payers cannot afford. 1t should be abol-
ished and the capital invested might well
be applied to the ordinary expenses of
the State government or to some of the
charitable institutions which are supported
at public expense. The recent develop
ments have served the good purpose of
calling attention to an abuse which ought
to be reformed with as little delay as
possible.

The Cincinnati Convention.

AT latest accounts, delegations were
pouring into Cincinnati, in immense
numbers, from every point of the COM
pass. The Convention viii be the grand
est and most remarkable uprising ever
witnessed in the country. 1t is a re-ac-
tionary movement of Republicans who
have declared against the Usurpations,
Prescription, Corruption and Extrava-
gance of the Administration. 1t has
grown beyond the calculations of its prime
movers, who did not dream of the depth
and strength Of the forces which we're
slumbering beneath the surface, and
which they were Providential instru-
ments in turning loose.
If the Convention should prove a sue
cess in its nominations and platform,
there is no telling where the movement
viii end. 1t has undoubtedly riven the
Radical party in twain. We trust that
it will be the focus for all the reformatorv
elements in the country and will signalize
the breaking Of the clouds that for these
long years have lowered over our unhap-
by land. But then-let us not antici-
pate. We can only watch and wait.

The Living Issues.

The Liberals of Pennsylvania in their
declaration in favor of the Independent
movement, announced their principles
and policy as follows:
Believe that the time has come for equal
laws, equal protection and equal privileges
to be accorded to all the people of the Union ;
that all taxes imposed should be with view
TO revenue, and so adjusted as to protect
the industrial interests of the whole country !:
that special legislation in the interest Of
capital against labor should be reprobated;
that military rule in time of peace, and
military interference with popular elections
are in conflict with the whole spirit and
genius of our free institutions; that local
government should be re-asserted with
ali the majesty ola sovereign people against
the encroachment OF Federal power.
The foregoing embraces precisely the
principles which we would have the
National Convention Of the Democratic
party to enunciate. They are the true
doctrine. come from what quarter they
