SNuBDED.-Those citizens of Phila.
delpbia who prefer honest men for
officers instead of robbers, lately pros
ecuted and convicted some rcpeaters
and ballol-box suffers in tho United
States court, so us to get them out OF
the reach Of pardon broker Geary, who
was constantly opening the doors Of
tho Penitentiary and turning ungodly
men loose upon society. But it ap-
pears that the goyernment'-Grant--
is no better than Geary, because he
liberated the convicted rascals within
six weeks after their conviction, to
the astonishmem of every upright
citizen of Philadelphia. A committee
was sent to Washington to inquire oi
"the government" why the pardon
was granted and who the "prominent
citizens of. Philadelphia" were who
had recommended the pardon, but the
aforesaid government refused to
give any reason or the names Of those
who had requested the pardon of the
vagabonds in question.
This is right. Philadelphia gave
Grant huge majority, and the citi-
zens of that "loil" city have no busi.
less to inquire why their servant
turns wicked men loose among them.
Vote for Grant again, will you?

An IMPORTANT BlLL.-We notice
that Senator Wallace read u bill in
place on the 23d authorizing the tax.
alton Of timber, coal and mineral
reservation, separate from the soil.
An act of this kind is emincn9y
proper, and will defe& fraud and
compel the right parties to pay their
due proportion of the taxes assessed
upon lands We recollcct of scvera
instances in which parties have LOST
the timber which they owned upor
the land of another party. The own.
er of the soil would allow the land tc
be sold for taxes by the Treasurer
and in tins manner secure tax title
and "by due process of law" dcfraud
the owner out Of his timber. We are
now of course speaking of unseatcd
lands. We have not seen the bill il
question, but are satisfied that such O
law is very much needed in this State
If there is none on our statue books
bearing upon the question. Let the
owner of the soil be taxed for it let the
owner of the timber, coal and minerals
also be taxed for his interest, and then
each will take care Of his or their inter

LEGISLATIVE JuoGLtRY There are
five parties before our Assembly con
testing seats. The drawing Of the
committees has been attended TO, and
II appears from the names of the
members drawn that there are bu,
very few Democrats in that body.
Allison, Burkholder, Hancock Jones
Livering, Ncwmyer and Oliver, all
Radicals, are on four committees
These, with Latta, Democrat, and
Welch, Independent, constitute ono
Committee.
Ballcntine and llenry are on three
committees, and twelve other Radicals
on two each, while but one Democrat
(Stier,) is on two committees, and
three of the COMMITTEES have not 0
single Democrat in them.
The Angel Gabriel would stand jus,
as good chance in the Internal rcgion'
to receive justice as Democrat will
at the hands of committees thus con
stituted. We supposed that Kadica
legislative villiany had reached it,
bounds last winter, but we have beer
mistaken.

FoR PRINTERS The Erie Obserrer
says: We second the suggestion of
Rowells Newspaper Reporter, that
the type founders OF the United States
owe an explanation Of their reasons
for the variations in the size Of type
ostcnsibly Of the same body. There
is no greater source of annoyance in q
printing Office than that of matching
type procured from tho different foun-
dries, and the patience with which the
craft have submitted to this imposition
does not speak well for their shrewd-
ness or indepcndcce. tits too evident
that the object Of the several foundrics
in making their type of different
bodies is to force their customers to
bay more largely, and the effect is TO
odd considerably To tho cost of print
ing Offices. A uniform standard should
bc adopted for each grade of type, and
should be as carefully enforced as the
proportions of our national coin or the
sizes of our weights and measures, -
Tho various State organizations can
do something practical by giving this
subject their earnest attention.

The dispatches this morning tell
how one of Ex-senator Harlan's pious
schemes has come to griof, through
exposures that stripped IL Of its thin
cloak of piety and left II in it's naked
rascalily. There used to be band
Of Sioux on tho Upper Missouri known

death of their principal chief in 1868
this band has gradually dissolved, its
members allying themselves, some
with the Brules, others with the San
tees and others with the Ogallalas,
until tho Teton Sioux exist only in
the traditions of the upper river bor-
der.
But though the tribe or band of To-
ton Sioux exists no longer, tho Gov
ornment agency for that tribe has re-
mained in full blast, and, according Ia
the Washington dispatch in question,
has been tho means OF furnishing an
Iowa Methodist clergyman, ,onc Wright
by name and an intimate friend and
brother in the church of the immacu.

That there is to another determined
crusade inaugurated against tho Nor.
mons is certain. This will DO the
third undertaken by tho present ad.
ministration. The first was Of the
persuasive kind. DR.. Newman was
the missionary who was sent forth
like Jonah TO the people Of Nneveh
TO entrcat them TO lenvo their wicked
ways and be saved Newman, how.
over, was not as successful as was the
ancient prophet Ho went TO Salt
Lake City, was received cordially By
Brigham Young and his people, got
into Bible argument with them re-
garding their errors Of doctrine, aud
got the worst o. it. The prophets OF
tho Descret BAIL confonnded him with
his own tcxts, and their people, in
stead ofhcarkening to his instructions
and his warnings, made merry over
his failure, and he retired TO his own
place at Washington City, discom-
| iiled.
Then did Newman assume the role
of Peter tho Hermit, and organize u
second crusade, this time of legal COM
puision. As is generally believed,
through his influencc the President
was instigated to appoint the notori-
GUS Mexican U. S. Judge in Utah and
urge him to "push things" He did
push things He proceeded to ar
raigd aud indict various parties for
the crime Of polygamy, Brigham
Young among others. Great was the
excitement as the trial vent on (and
greater yet when Young, Ilawhihs,
aud others, wcro adjudged guiltb. But
this crusade was destined TO prove a
more miserable failure than the other.
rhe case was carried to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and there
the proceedings OF Judge Mexican were
found to be not only violent, partisan
and vindictire, but extra judicial
His decisions were reversed, and the
polygamists went forth free aud tri-
umphants.
But now we hear the note of pre-
paration for the third crusade. This
time it is to be neither u matter
of gentle persuasion nor of mere legal
techuicalties. Force 10 tho watch

men are to be dispatched to Utah,

CoRRupTIos.-Thc Washington cor
respondent OF the Philadelphia Press
of the l4th, in alludlng TO the leading
Congressional scandal, says:
The sorry sight witnessed in the
room OF the Credit Moblicr lnvesti-
eating Committee to-day dnring the
examination, or, rather, tho ex-
animation by each other, of Oakcs
Amcs, Wee President Colfax, and
Judge Kelley, was humiliating alike
to those personally concerned and to
the Government. Had the proceedings
been before common and badl -rcgu-
lated police court, and tho pattics on
the stand ordinary mortals instead of
high officers OF the Government and
members Of Congress, il could hardly
be characterized as other than dis
graceful. Mr., Amcs, as will bc seen
from the report of the evidence, con-
tradicted Mr. Colfay and Judge Kelley,
twhile both Colfax and Kelley contra.
aicied Mr. Amcs. Nor was this done
once or twice, but repeatedly, and IN
tone that showed bitter personal
feeling all around. Mr., Amos com
planned Of being "badgered;" Mr. Col
fax and Judge Kelly said they were
misreprcsentcd by the chairman of
the committee, Judge Portland. In
sheer despair he said he would allow
the witnesses TO cross examine each
other to their hearts content The
curious crowd that filed the commit
tee room laughed outright when auy-
,hi"s aa-na ont fhaiihey considered n
hit, no matter at whose oxponsc IL
was made. Mr.. Amcs' reply 10 a
question of Mr.. Colfax, that he could
not get around the twolve-hundred.
dollar check, no matter how hard he
sworc, created sensation, and for a
moment even Mr.. Colfax was stunned.
Mr.. Amcs now says there is n en-.
spiracy against him, formed by he
very men he tried to help, and he p'o-
poses to defend himself by making
other and more damaging revelations.
