THE Pittsburgh Dispatch, n radical or
gan, in referring to that portion Of the
Governors message in which he recon-
mends Geological Survey for the purpose
of developing the mineral resources of the
State, is cruel enough to indulge in the
following disparaging aliusion to the ''bul-
lot-riddled'' legs of his Excci!ency. Com
ing from the source it docs it is most
unkind cut, and in England would oonsti-
tute clear and undoubted case of scandal
unl magndtttm, for which criminal pros
ecution would be the appropriate remedy:
Now that a State Geological Survey Corps
has been recommended Cor the purpose of
developing the mineral resources of Penn
sylvania, it might be proper to suggest that
one of the first duties of The Corps should be
to ascertain whether the retiring Executive
really carries a vein of lead in bis lower
limbs, and also examine into the area and
density of the same, and make due report
thereof to the State Historian.

A STRANGE SToRY.-There are now in
the Iowa State Penitentiary at Fort Madi-
son an aged couple who are serving out a
term for the crime of incest, they being
brother and sister. The story is this, and
is true: At the age of twelve years the
male left his fathers house i'll Pennsylva-
mia, we believe, to seek his fortune and no
more return. He went West, grew to
manhood and married, raised family of
children, and finally his wife died His
sister grew to womanhood, was married,
and with her husband went West, and to
Iowa Her husband died, and in time she
received an offer of marriage from a man
who was a wiGower. She accepted the
offer and they were married. Her husband
was wealthy, and after a time one of his
sons wished to have the father give him
some property, but the father refused to
accede to his demands. The son one day,
while looking over the family record of
the stepmOther, which had been laid aside
and forgotten, discovered that there was a
kinslip between the families, and 4 further
investigation proved that his father and
stepmother we're own brother and sister
To avepge himself for his fathers refusal
to give him the bulk of his property, he
brought suit against them both for incest
They We're tried and convicted and sent to
the penitentiary for one year. They are
both over sixty years Of age, and as inno-
cent of intent to commit crime as the new
born babe.

THE project of admitting Colorado Terri
tory into the Union as a State is again Wig
orously urged upon Congress. We may
be mistaken, but our decided impression is
that the Apportionment bill of the last
session fixing the number of members to
which each State is entitled under the late
census, contains provision that no State
shall hereafter be admitted without having
the necessary population to entitie it to at
least one representative according to the
ratio of representation fixed by that bill,
which was over 130,O If such is not
the law on every principle of justice it
ought to be. According to the census Of
1870, Colorado contained population of
39,864, which is only 3,295 more than the
population Of Cambria county, the latter
having by the same census 36, 500 inhabit-
ants. Is it not monstrous proposition,
that Colorado, with population of less
than forty thousand, not one-Ltird of the
ratio necessary to entitlc her to a member
of Congress, should, if admitted as State,
exercise the same numerical strength in
the Senate of the United States as Penn
sylvania with a population of over three
01sd a hGI' millions? +? 1t is not even true
that the people Of Colorado arc in favor of
changing their Territorial into State
government and if they were, it would
afford no reason whatever why Congress
should comply with their demand. 1t is
well known that these movements in favor
of the formation of State governments out
of sparsely populated territories, originate
principally with politicians who have per-
sonal interests to subserve, some desiring
TO he Governor, others ambitious to occupy
seats in the Senate, and so on through all
the avenues of political prefermens. The
admission OF two such rrcket Territories
as Nebraska and Nevada as States was a
sheer outrage, and ought never to be re-
peated. To permit two Senator'S from
Colorado to exercise the same noliticaI
power in the highest legislative body in the
C 'untry as Pennsylvania or New York
would not only lie runk injustice but man
festly absurd.

terrible STORM IN MINNEsoTA.-Seu-
cTdG Persons Frozen to Death.
KEE, WIS, Jan. 12.-A St. Paul dispatch
says The great storm of the past week
resulted in good many fatal casualties in
this State. 1t was entirely unprecedented
in its severity, and was SO binding that
persons perished within few rods of sue
cor, when they knew in what direction to
go. Three brothers, Charles, John and
Stephen ONeil, and Thomas and Michael
Holden, each with two horse teams, start
ed for Wilmar with wheat on TUESDAY,
They were found on Friday about ten miles
out, two of the O'Neils and one of the
Holdens frozen to death in the Sleigh The
others were alive, but will scarcely survive.
Five OK teams in the same vicinity were
found frozen to death, and the drivers are
supposed to have abandoned them and per-
lshed. A man was frozen to death by los
ing his way while going from the depot to
the tank house at Herman station, on the
st. Paul * Pacific Railroad. little boy
near New Ulm undertook to go home, but
lost his way, and his booy was found eight
miles distant. A man was found yesterday
near st Peter, frozen. A good many other
cases will undoubtedly be heard Of.
The wind blew the snow SO that it was
impossible to see a foot in advance, and the
storm came so sudden that it caught per
sons out, and they pershed because they
were unable to find the way.

GooD JoKE.-Dr. G. II. Keyser, of Pitts
burgh, is very lean, bony, skeleton-look
ing man, and has an office on Liberty street.
One day when the Doctor was out, small
boy with basket came in. The office boy.
after showing him the odd articles, concIu
ded to frighten the lad, and suddenly Open
ed a closet whore human skeleton was
standing, and shaking the dry bones,
alarmed the boy so that he ran away. leay
ing the basket. When the doctor came in
he inquired who left the basket. On beiny
told, he rcprimanded the office boy and
started him out to look for the frightened
lad. He soon returned and reported the
little fellow on the opposite side of the
street, but afraid to come in. The doctor
went to the door to induce his little fright
ened customer to come over, and becEon-
ing him with his long, bony hand, called
to him pleasantly. The young urchin cast
a suspicious glance ut him and answered
''No you don't! I know you if you have
got your clothes onr' He mistook the doc
Tor for the skeleton he had been frightened
with.

THE evidence thus far elected by the
Committee appointed by the Senate of the
United States to investigate the charge
against Alexander Caldwell Of having pro
cured his election rs Senator from Kan
sas by bribery and corruption, conclusively
shows that money was shamefully used i'll
buying the votes of certain members OF the
Legislature of that State. 1t would seem
that the average price at which a Kansas
legislator held his vote was about s 600.
1t is true that there were some who held
themselves at much higher value and
who could not be baggcd for sum less
than So, 600. These, however, we've few
and far between, and were honorable (?)
exceptions to the general rlIie. John j.
Patterson, of South Carolina, had very
different kind of material to deal WITH and
from all accounts was not compelled to pay
the negro members Of the Legislature who
voted for him more than an average of
$500 each, while few possessing particu-
lar influence over their more ignorant col
ored brethren could not be scduced for a
less sum than $400. The market price of
votes in these two radical States shows that
the blood of the white man still maintains
its supremacy. We trust that Caldwell
will be expelled from the Senate, that Pat
terson will follow him in disgraceful re-
tirement, and that the wedding process
will go on even though the radical majori-
ty i'll the Senate should thereby grow
''sman by degrees and beautifully less"

THE Democrat cmembers of the MIS-
souri, Legislature held final caucus last
Monday evening for the purpose of nomi-
Mating candidate for United States Sena-
tor to succeed Gen. Frank Blair. The
contest was warm and exciting, there be
ing large number of candidates before
the caucus. On the seventeenth ballot,
when the contest had narrowed itself down
between Col. Lewis V. Bogy and General
Blair, the former was nominated, he re-
ceivingE84 votes and Blair 42. Col. Bogy
is gentleman of ability and high political
and personal standing in his State.

On the second day OF the session of the
Legislature, the party that roared itself
hoarse during the recent political campaign
in favor of retrenchment and reform, pass
ed a bill through the House increasing the
salary of the Governor from fue to ten
thousand dollars. An amendment was of
fered and carried fixing the amount at nine
thousand dollars. 4 similar effort is be-
ing made in Congress to increase the sal
ary of the President from tarenty.fce to
fifty thousand dollars, but thus far has not
met with much favor.
We are not prepared to say that itwoutd
not be right and proper to add a reasonable
increase to the salary of the Governor, but
not to double it. We do not, however, re-
gard the present as an auspicious time to
do it. We say this in view of the kind of
men whom of late years the people oil
PENNSYLVANIA have been delighted to honor
with their suffragcs as Executive of the
State A Governor such as Charles X.
Buckalew would make, gifted as he is with
superior intellect and possessing all the
qualifications for an able and honest dis
charge of the duties of the position, would
be worth infinitely more than ten thousand
dollars year to the tax payers of the COM
monwealth. Indeed it would be difficult
to place a money value on tho services he
would render. Geary has been a very
high-priced executive at five thousand dol
lars year, and Hartranft will be likewise.
! When the people cease to run after spuri-
Gus political gods, and when capacity and
| honesty assert their legitimate sway i'll the
| executive department, it will be time enough
! but not until then, to talk about an in
crease of salary. The price of the present
supply is fully equal to the radical demand.
In the debate in the House on this pro-
position, that venal and brazen-faced tool
OF the rings, Sam. Josephs, was pleased to
say that ''if his side of the House had been
successful he would have been one of the
first to introduce measure of this kind
| We have no doubt about it, prOUided the
prospective recipient of the increase had
! paid him handsomely for doing so. If
Josephs meant by ''his side,'' the Demo
cratic side, he had no right to speak for it,
| for out of its mouth he has been spewed
as politically and personally rotten and ut
! terly unclean. He is now on tie side of
! the radical majority, where all the plunder
/ is, and that location appropriately and nat
urally becomes him. There let him re-
main in all his infamy, as the most thor
oughly corrupt nam That has disgraced the
! House for the last twelve years.

ever, which Is fast coming into vogue, both

every one-horse radical politician believes
that he has an indefeasible right to quar-

We do not know the number of these
officers in the Senate, but have nc, doubt
they compare favorably in point of num-
bers with their brethren in the House
And yet, Maclay, the radical Senator from
Clarion, wishes to pile Pelion upon Ossa

q resolution providing that four radicals,
named IN the resolution, but who had been
left out in the cold i'll the general distribu-
ton OF these sinecures, should each be
comfortably provided for at the public
crib. When useless and unnecessary Off
GERS thus literally swarm around the capi-
tol, 1t ought not to be matter OF surprise
that the annual expenses of the Legisla-
turc have grown into such enormous di-
