BAYoNEr RuLE.-Because the white
and black people of Arkansas have
turned all the public robbers out OF
Office, Grant proposes to bayonet them
hack again. The following summary
of the exploits of the carpet-baggers in
that State we clip from the New York
Herald:
"ln 1858 the whole bonded debt Of the State
WAS t3,25O,000 1t had no floating debt and had
ovw S3Oo,0 In tho treasury. From July, 1865,
10 October, 1874, the treasury received over 50
100000, floating debt was incurred Of nearly
s7,0o0,0Oo and the bonded debt was increased
$3.50, ,o00--thatis Is to cay, in six years the nsn
who ruined Arkansas spent si7 ,0eO, 600, and this
in STATE which has loss thas half . million Of
people,"
The HeTdldisno democratic organ. y
but il tells the naked truth some
times. Suppose SET of rascals were
TO increase the State debt of Ponnsyl
vania in proportion TO the above, what
would the voters Of this State do unde,
such circumstances Just what The
paople Of Alabama have donc--turt
the ogues out and deliver the Stat,
affairs into the hands of honest men
And for doing this Grant asks Congress
10 give him the privilege ofsuspcndinl
the AaJsas corpus, so as he eau sond hi
soldiers down there and seat his rag q
mufins long enough to steal the bal
ance Of the State. II would be ia

NEV INSANE ASYLUM


At tho Inst session of the Pennsyl
vania Legislature, q commission, con
sisting of George l.. Harrison, Thomas
s. Kirkbridgc, Joseph a. Reed, John
Curwen, G. Dawson Coleman, l.. Clark
Davis and Hester Clymer, was ap-
pointed to inquire into the condition of
the criminal insane of the Common
wealth, and wero instructed to make a
report to the next Cthe present. Legis-
laturc Said committee have reported,
recommending the erection Of o new
institution for the accommodation Of
that particular class Of insane, and
mention Tyrone as being very suita-
bio location for the same. On cx-
animation tho committee discovered
that very large portion Qf the class
styled the criminal insane, are confined
either in prisons, jails or aims houses,
none Of which arc provided with the
means for the proper care of our peo-
pie. There IL entire unanimity OF
opinion in the commission, that no
class of the insane should be kept in
any of the institutions above named,
and that there should be new insti-
tuition erected ior the accommodation
of the following classes Of persons,
], Dangerous insane persons, who
have committed or shall attempt to
commit murder, arson, rape, robbery,
or other high crimes OF misdcmeanors
9. Those charged with committing
either Of the crimes before mentioned
who are believed to fcign insanity, OF
Of whose sanity there may be so great
doubt as 70 require the investigation Of
experts.
.. Those acquitted Of such crimes on
the ground of insanity, who shall be
adiudgcd by the Court trying the of
fence as persons dangerous to be al
largo
L. Those charged g'itb the commits
sion of cithnro of such crimes viii c sane
and becoming insane before trial on
sentence.
/ 5. Those becoming insane while IN
prison after conviction of any crime
and continuing insane tho term of sen
tencc, who shall not have friends ol
relatives 10 whom such insane persons
may DO deligerod pt the expiration o
sentence with safety 10 the community
@. Insane convicts generally, who's,
insanity shall have been escortancd
and who may be transferred In accord
ancc with the laws Of this Common
welth,
The fact that tbpmembcls ofthc com
mission are all in favor oi now insti
tuition, and have given good reason,
why one should be established, is sui
ficient cause for us to believe that Tn,
Legislature will iayorably consider tn,
report.
The necessity for an institution o
the kind indicated Is admitted on al
hands, and as there are hospitalp q
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg
Danville and Warren, il is but prope
that the buildings should DO erected u
Tyrone, near the centre Of the State
r with ipiiIoad facilities from every sec
ton Of the State.

A TROUBLED SpIRIT.--The editor OF
the Lancaster htelligcncer is greatly
worried over the fate of the Texas
Pacific Railroad, and demands Senator
Wallacc's views thereon. Does the
Lancaster man own the road or Mr..
Wallace, or both? What a pity that
his spirit must be constantly vexed
about some great State or national en-
terprisc. 1t is but a short time since
he settled the United States Senator
ship and the Mayoality of Lancaster,
now he has got both the Penn
sylvania and Texas Pacific Railroads
on hand. A man who assumes such
gigantic proportions will certainly burst
if he is not hooped. VIII somebody

RADIcJL COyrEsSOR.s.

The editor Of the Philadelphia
Press succeeded in getting OH some.
thing sensible and truthful in his Issue
of the 25th nit, rs kind of reply to
Mr.. Weed. llo remarked
Every man knows the condition Ia which we
find ourselves, and no two men will agree as 10
tho cause. The Republican party met with a
disatrous overthrow ia,t fall tho financial aud
business interests Of the conntry are derhnged,
and the South n dissatisfied, rostive. and th,
source Of apprehension of danger. The prob.
lcm Is how to conquer tho situation to rcvcrs,
tho verdict Of the fall elections to restore pop
ular confidence In the Republican party, to rs-
lieve the stagnaton Of business, and paeify the
South.
Thurlow Weed, the godfather o.
the Radical party, mortified at tn,
management of public affairs by bii
pupils, has taken to growing wonder
fully. In recent letter to friend OF
this subject, among other things he
says;
We have been seriously weakened and wound
cd by the backpay grab. by tho Treasury DE
pariment imbecilities, by sanbom contrasts, ant
Washington City government frauds.
Although greatly in love with hi:
party, Mr.. Weed would rather see 1
Democrat elected President in 1876
than "an incapable Republican o
equivocal integrity lie wants tn,
third term business settled at once
He also suggest as way of dealing
with our foreign creditors that Con
grcss pass law imposing duties OIL
silks, velvcts, jewelry, wines, &C., &c.
limited in its operations for two years
that would virtually prohibit during
that period their importation. Re
sumption, he says, would follow with
out an effort lie condemns the Civi
Rights bill as an unnecessary enact
ment.
Afterthe detection ofThurlow Weed
no Republican who loves his countr,
and wants to see it restored to pcac
and prosperity, need hesitate for on
moment to throw his influence in fa
, vor of the Democratic party. A tc
years failure to bring about those dc
slrable results, should satisfy the mos
captious, that there is neither peac
, nor prosperity for this Union while tn
: present salary-grabbing leaders are q
the head of public affairs.

Too BADl-Even that Cody loyal
organ, the Christian Union, seems to
have lost all respect for the National
Legislature. The editor perpetatcs Q
parable Of this kind:
The Forty third Congress has been little be-,
ter than King Log toward the South but II Il
will not, by acting or failing to act, lend aid to
King stork regime, 1t may yet win some graft
tude. II It's members shall need 10 confess, "W,
have left undone what we ought to have done,
let them not have to add, ave have done what We
ought not TO have DONE
After that, if those Credit Mobilier
Salary grab Congressman don't call
upon the rocks and mountains to fall
upon them and hide them from the
people, there is no use for that kind
of rubbish.

PLAIN SPoKEN-The New York
Tribune, in abiding to the conduct OF
The Radical leaders IN Congress, says
The foohariy Administration leaders, who
arc urging the wreckless legislation for the South
would do well to read the Republican press Of thu
country on the subject. So far as heard from
there is not a single Republican journal. who's,
opinion on any subject is worth anything, which
docs not oppose oil measures of the kind. They
are wise enough to see that certain death lies IL
that direction.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, also ar
Administration organ, in alluding to
public affairs gets off this biz Of com
fort:

SUMMARY.
RADlcALS ALARvED

The Cambria Fireman thuspointcdly
remarks.
The Radical press is manifesting q
fearful amount of alarm from the fact
that the next Congress will contain
eighiyiayo Southern members, large
number Of whom were officers in the
rebel army, while most of the others
held civil offices under the Confederate
government. If the Soutbern people
instead Of clecting these white rebels,
had only elected eighty-fve ignorant
apd inopwpeleni "Americen citizens OF
African descent the beauties Of rad.
ical reconstruction would have been
demonstrated, and in the cant phrase
of the day, Southern loyalty would
have been fully vindcated. The peo.
pie Of the South were q unit in
favor Of tho Cpnipderacy, and NOW
there are three classes of people in
that section out Of which Congress
must be chosen These arc tho native
white men Of the South, tho negroes
and the thieving and rapacious carpet.
