Hon. REyERDY JOHNSON, who was
almost eighty years Of age, died very
suddenly at Annapolis, the capital OF
Maryland, on Thursday night of last
week. Tie had gone there on prOfes-
sional business, and in the evening,
with several other gentlemen, had
tlined with Governor Carroll. About
half past eight O'Clock he Was found
living dead on the ground in the yard,
with the right portion of his skull
fractured, caused, as is supposed, by a
fall, his head striking the edge of the
projecting base ofth wall ofthe house.
Mr.. sJohnson was BaItimoie's most
eminent citizen and gentleman known
and honoIth throughout the country.
As a deep ami profound LAWYER he ha's
few if any equals, AID had filed many
public stations with greet credit and
distinction. His name is inseperably
connected with the days of Webster,
Clay and Calhoun, and in his deatt
the country has lost ,onc Of its most
faithful servants.

Is the State Senate last week the
Finance Committee reported with a
1coqtire recommendation the bill pro-
viding for the payment of bounty of
5000 to each of the surviving soldiers
OF the Mexican war from tins State,
and on motion Of MIR. Busscy the bill
was recommitted for further consider
alton. This adverse action Of the
committee was not anticipated. The
committee ought at least have given
the Senate an opportunity to discuss
il and not have rutlless!y slaughtered
II IN their own room. Even the joint
resolution for the purchase of n copy
of Purdon's Digest for each member of
the Senate and House was more re-
spectfully treated by the House com
mittee having it in charge, for they
reported it as committed and gave the
House an opportunity to bury it. We
assume that the only plausible objec-
ton against the bounty bill would be
the amount of money which 1T would
take from the treasury. Let us briefly
examine this question. There were
,,ro regiments of volunteers from this
State in the war with Mexico, embrac-
inc t,rertu companies in all. As we
said once befote, there are slr or per-
hans seren who are living OF the com
panv that went from this place. or
the company from the Summit we only
know of three members who survive.
But estimating that there are e1gtt
survivors in the aggregate to each
company, the whole number who would
raceive the bounty would be 16O, and
the money required to pay them would
amount to S32 600. This, we admit,
ia q considerable item, and ought not
tn he thrown away for doubtful or
unnecessary purpose. The taxpayers,
however, will cheerfuliy foot the bill
when they know that 1t is to reward
men who uoluntarity, and not by tho
compulsory process of q draft, rlsked
their lives on foreign soil at the call
of their country. Where the object Of
the States bounty is meritorior9, as
in this instance it is. the people will
never complain. The Legislature
found no difficulty last week IN adj
iourning for four tavs at cost 10 the
neople of not much, ;r any, less tnan
sI5 600 10 attend the municipal elec-
ton IN Philadelphia. Tins sum .huS
recklcssly squ.,ndcred is almost one %
half the amount, if our estimate OF Tue
surviving veterans is correct thas
would be required to pay the proposed
bountv. We trust the committee VIII
renort the bill TO the Senate and then
let the question be discussed, and IN
view of all the facts be fairly and IN
telligently disposed OF

ANOTHER lawgiveI of South Carolina of
the illustrious family of Moses is in trouble
This time it's the Hon. Montgomery Moses
who is charged 10y the legislature of South
Carolina with having converted trust funds
to his own use. The Hon. Montgomery is
a brother Of Chief Justice Moses and an
uncle of Ex-Governor Moses, the latter of
whom is still deprived of his judicial honors
by the obstinate refusal Of Gov. Chamber
lain to sign his commission. John J. Pat
terson has recently insisted on the necessity
for troops to maintain the ascendancy Of the
republican party in South Carolina. With
Patterson in the senate and the Moses fam
lily in possession of the. Judiciary of the
state the necessity for the application of
force to maintain this Infamous reqinas will
be readily understood. There is no need
for our Jnniata county carpet.bagger TO in

On last Friday the deposition Of
President Grant, TO be read on the
pending trial of General Babcock at
st. Louis was taken before Chief JUS
ticc Waite in Washington. The teSti-
mony was takch at the instance Of
BabcOck's attorneys. As 4 rule, Iii
criminal prosecutions q witness must
appear in person, and cannot appear,
as in civil causes, by his deposition.
In this case, however, the Presidents
testimony was taken by consent of the
counsel on both sides. 1t is n novel
spectacle to see the confidential Secrc-
tarv of g. President indicted for com
plicity with the whiskey ring, and it is
equally as novel to see the former tes-
tifying in his behalf We do not,
however, see anything censurable in
the proceeding. If BabCOck is guilty
he must be proven to be so by legal
evidence. just rs i'll any other case, and
if Grant knows any material fact III his
favor he is clearly entitled to the ben
eft of it,

FEW persons in the North, excepting
those who carefully read the ncwspa-
pcrs, have any just conception Of the
supremacy TO which, as general rule,
ignorance and knayery have been ele-
waited in the Southern States, but es-
peciallv in South Carolina, whose ne
gro voters are the most grovelling and
debascd of their class in that section.
Some time ago the negro and carpet
bag Legislature of that State elected
Moses, II white scoundrel, and Whip
per, Il black villain, judges Of two of
the most important districts in the
State Moses being a native SOuthCTner
and Whipper fugitive from criminal

Or. JOSEPH s. LUsK, q member o
the lower branch Of the Legislature
from Butler county, is regarded as ;
Democrat in good standing and aspire:
to he one of the leaders Of his party a
Harrisburg About two weeks ago he
introduced into the House prcamDit
of vast length and laundering sound
on the subject OF Congressional aid tc
Thomas A. Scott's Texas and Pacific
Rail Road, to which was appended the
following resolution:
RcsoIred Gfthe Senate concrr), That or
Senators be instructed and our meinbrs ell
Congress requested 10 vote for ana urge we
passage of a bill now before that T'iN
yrantjuC ;sid to the Texas and Pacisic rail-
rUa'.
This resolution va. referred 70 the
Committee on Federal Relations, OF
which we believe DR.. Lusk - chairman,
Int the committee, SO far as we have
observed, has not as Yet taken any
definite action ON it. We have here
then Il leading Democratic member Of
the Legislature engaged in an effort IT,
sanction guarantee by the national
government Of the payp' mt os tie in-
tercst on the b0nh5 Ut the Southern or
Texas P"Iiic rail road company.
That IS one picture, and now look on
Ms. When the present Congress met
last December the first important act
Of the House of Representatives was
the adoption of the following rcsoln-
ton, offered by Mr. Holman, Of Indi-
ana
"Hesoiccd, That in tire Judgment Of This
House. in the present condition Ofthc finan-
cial affairs of i.c Government, no subsidy in
money, bonds pnblic lurus, endorsements,
or Ivy pledge of the pnblc credit, should he
granted ny Congress 10 associations or cor
poraiiOns engage: or proposing tU engage in
public or private enterprises and That all
appropriations from the public treasury
ought to be limited at this time 10 such
amounts only az shall I've imperatvely de-
maudrl by Tie public service"
The vote on this resolution was-
yeas, 223; nays, 33; every Democratic
member from Pennsylvania with one
exception voting IN the affirmative.
In the face of this record, deliberately
made by the Democratic delegation in
Congress from this State, does Or.
Lusk suppose that by the passage of
his resolution they can be made "to
turn about and wheel about and Jump
Jim Grow ~ The subsidy business in
Congress has had its day, and high
old time it has been. The people have
become weary and sick OF it and their
representatives in Congress simply re
sponded to their loud demands by
sustaining Mr.. Holman's resolution.
If Or. Lusk's resolution should ever
be reported by his Committee and a
vote Of the House should be taken on
it, 1t will be interesting to know the
names and local habitatIons of the
Democratic members who endorse it.
