HE REGINS YnrYG.

The first number we have seen No.
60) of the Daily Legislative Record for
1878, is before us. II is very evident,
from a glance at il, that the sou is n
decided improvement on tlc father IN
the manufacturing cl' columns and
pages for that interesting document.
The young man makes line out OF
"Boydn and "Long' in reading the
yeas and nays, and thereby takes up n
whole column which should not con
sumo more than one.third the space,
(See page 496). Again, q brass dash
creates n blank of one inch which
should not be over onethird. (See
page Az, and many others). The
number in question has three columns
of yeas and nays which should all be
put in one column. This kind OF
work is financial gain of &C per cent,
to the operator, without any other i'm
provement whatever, and will just de-
plete the State treasury unnecessarily
to that amount.
As a taxpayer Of this Common
wealth, we are opposed to this sirty
sir per cent. slice. The Publisher OF
the Record has no more right to charge
the taxpayers for whole column oi
matter, when he only gives onc-third
than farmer has to charge for q
bushel of grain when he only meas
ures out half bushel. II the young
man is to be reformed the Legislature
had better begin the first session oi
give the job to some printer who vii
do the fair thing
c. II. Bergner should not be allowed
pay for q column, when the matter
can be put into one-third that space
and the members of the legislator,
who quietly submit to the innovation
upon the treasury, will prove poo
economists and uniaithful representa-
tives of the people, if they will allow
this "thin" way of depicting the treas
ury to continue

A DEMOCRATIC GAIN---Five deaths
having occurred since the November
election, creating that number of va
cancies in the Lower House of oul
Legislature, elections were held on the
10th in the several counties 10 4 such
vacancies. The members from Berks
Centre and Philadelphia were Demo
Gratis, and those from Armstrong and
Washington, Republicans. The Dem
ocrats succeeded in clccting their nom
inec in the latter county, and held
their own in the other counties, boine
gain Of one member Give the peo
pie another chance to fill the House
and similar gains in every Ave would
no doubt be the result. The conduct
of the National Administration is dis
gusting to everybody except the Of
fice.holdcrs,

ScouSDRELisM-lt must be pleasant
to Mr. W. s. King, tho Minnesota
Congressman, to show that the stat
ute of limitations will soon intervene
and save him, along with q large num-
Der of the District Ring scoundrcls
and boon companions Of President
Grant, from punishment. Unless the
Grand Jury indict them this month,
the punishment Of their crimes Is
barred by the statute of limitations
Especial care has been taken BY tho
Radicals in Washington that no Grand
Jury shall be drawn in February, which
will have the effect Of saving King,
Whitley, Harrington and several 9TH
or criminals from punishment. We
need not say that all these worthiss
are n favor Of Grant and third
form

ANOTHER DEAD DUCK


The defeat Of Matt Carpenter, of
Wisconsin, for I. s. Senator, is one of
the severest blows administered to
"thc government for long. timc,-
Carpenter is at present Vice President
pro tcn,, and President of the U. s. Sen
ate and is one of Grants "bull-pups.
II is exceedingly gratifying to us to
chronicle his defeat for reelection by
the Wisconsin legislature, on the Sd.
The vote stood
Cameron 0s, Carpenter 80, Halle
ton 3, J c. Clark l. The election Of
Mr.. Cameron was brought about by a
coalition of Democrats and boiling Re
publicans. The latter offered the
Democrats fournames from which they
might choose n candidate; Judge
Cole, ox-Govcmor Lewis, General Cup
py and Hon. Angus Cameron. The
Democratic caucus nominated Gamer
on conditionally upon his acceptance
of n platform that includes hard mon
ey, tariff for revenue only, and the su
prcmacy OF the civil power in time oi
peace.
Thus, one after another of the Sala.

coVyTy TBEASURERS FEES

COUNTY TREASURER.S FEES,
The Legislature has for two years
been trying to fix tho fees for County
lreasnrers. a hill was passed last
year IN contravcntion to the consiitu.
ton, and the members are now trying
tonlnend il, but have failed.
Legislative bodies, like individuals,
fear to assume responsibilities. A case
in point is the bill passed in 1874, au-
thorizing the County Commissioners
and Auditors to fix the salary of those
officers. The Legislature in this in
stance attempted to transfer duties
imposed upon il by the constitution to
other parties. This is a mistake. 1t is
as clearly the duty of that body to fix
the fees OF County Troasurcrs as those
Of Sheriff or Justices of the Peace. II
the Legislature can transfer that au.
thority in one case il can in another
and thereby render the constitution
and their oaths of office void, II the
body in question can trade % its du,
ties in this particular case, why not Is
moro others and therefore avoid all re
sponsibilities, except drawing their rc
spcctivc salaries. Why not authorize
a town meeting to fix the fees of jus
tees and allow county meeting tC
regulate the Sheriii"s fees.
Go TO work and pass q bill allowing
certain fixed fec--say five per cont
for all money received and paid out NJ
to 0,O0D, and three per cent. on al
over that sum and not exceeding $40
900. When the sum so pad out ex
cecds 100000 and not over 100000
make il four per cent when over tha
sum and not over $4,000, three PEI
cent; when over that sum and no
exceeding 100000, two and a hall
per cent, etc.
We hope the Legislature will dis
charge its duty in this particular. The
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee
Mr.. Parker, is correct in his views le
him see that they are incorporated il
a bill and passed through the House IA
