SENA IOR S1RANGS BL LUNDEh.
We regret the spirit of unfairness
which induces the Republican newspa-
pers of the State TO condemn in ad-
vance the actions and motives Of the
Democratic House at Harrisburg
The point has been the howl against
the House on the subject of the threat.
ened deadlock on the question OF be.
ginning legislation anew. From the
remarks of Representative Parker in
the House, on Thursday, it seems the
whole trouble arose from Senator
Strangs resolution of last winter, pro-
viding that Legislation should begin
anew.
Mr.. Parker said, that while the Dem
ocratic party intended no iactious OPP
position to the proposition of the Sen
ate, yet in as much as the position Of
the Senate under Senator Strang's reso-
luton assumed that under par!iamcn.
tary practice the legislation must begin
where left off last session, unless other
wise ordered by joint resolution, the
Democrats made the issue for the pur-
pose of determining through com
mittee what was the rule of practice in
other bodies, in like cases,
The recognized authorities on the
subject declare the practice TO be ia
begin anew, unless otherwise ordered
by joint resolution. The joint com
mittec of the Senate and House so 70
ported, so it appears that if Senator
Strang's resolution had not mislod the
discussion, the whole question would
have been determined under the rec
ogpzed rules of Legislative practic,
without any muss at ALL
! Equally unfair is tho insinuation o
the correspondent of a contemporary
that the House was backed from il,
position through Mr., Mackey's rciusa
to pay members their salaries on thu
ground that unless this is new Log

ANOTHER RADICAL SHEBANG SUs.
PENDED.-The Lancaster Inland Insur-
ance and Banking Co. closed its doors
on Monday of last week, the 10th inst
This was a Cameron-Muhlenburg con.
cern, and was run in the interests OF
politicians rather than for the benefit
of business men, The Lancaster city
school boards have 1880 of its funds
locked up. State Treasurer Mackey
had $4,000 on deposit; ex-Sheiff Graf
$4,000, City Treasurer Herr $4,000
and others with their thousands follow
This was pure Radical shebang, run
in the interests of a few politicians
who have sqandered their own funds
and those of their friends like water.

ALL New HAsps.--Thc Harrisburg
Patriot, in alluding TO the fact that
general turning out of members of the
Senate and House occurs next fall, un
less the present members are reelected
says that the legislature which assem-
bles in this State next January, 1877
will be composed entirely of new mem
bers in both branches. The terms o
all the members of the present STATE
Senate will expire on the first day O
December, 1876, and consequently a
the election this year fifty new Sena
tors will have to be elected In thu
twenty-five odd numbered districts
Senator's will be elected to serve fol
four years, while in the twenty-scver
even numbered districts those elected
will serve two years. At the elections
subsequent to 1876 Senators will b.
elected for four years. Two hundred
and one members of the House will b,
elected every two years.

TmE DEMAGoGUE's Howl. The
Radical howl about turning out soldiers
by the Democratic Congress was pretty
good stock until a few days ago. An in
vcstigation has developed the fact that,
whereas, out of 1853 subordinate posi-
tions in the last House only Is were
filed by Union soldiers, there are out
of s5 subordinate positions in the pres
ent House 2G of them filed by Union
soldiers. That ought 20 be sufficient
TO stop the "onc.legged" clamor Of the
"super-loyal fools," who are only anx.
ious to award patronage to the soldiers
when it is not theirs to give.
