HE1-N~1.EE

II has long been a cherished idea with a
certain ring Of Philadelphia politicians,
that the State capitol ought to be removed
from Harrisburg to that city. No good o.
even plausible reason ever was or ever can
he given in favo: Of the proposition.
Even before the adoption of the new con-
slitution, in 1878, the project was earnestly
urged before the Legislature, but was al
ways defeated, as it well deserved to be.
Tho new constitution contains a provision
virtually forbidding any change in the loca-
zion of the capitol unless the question shall
have been submitted to n vote of tie people
at the general election, and ratified and
approved by them; yet still the same bill
has been presented to the Legislature at
every session since the new constitution
went into effect, though the last end of that
bill was always worse than It's FIRST. This
insane project was Tcsurectcd at the close
of last week by Republican member Of
The House fiom Philadelphia, and if the
committee reports it af1irmatively, vast
amount Of eioquence, especially from the
city members, may be anticipated. The
State capitol, as we have on all occasions
emphatically asserted, is now just where it
ought to be, for good and sufficient reasons,
not necessary here to repeat. Our own de
cidcd opinion, however, is that the bill
ought to pass both houses aid thus relieve
the Legislature from being annually trou-
bled and annoyed with its discussion.
Frothy and windy speeches. both in favor
of and against the measure, are terribly ex
pensive to the taxpayers of the State. Let
the bill therefore pass, and when the people
Of the State at the next November election
vote upon it, they will put their seal of
condemnation upon the humbug by a ma
jority far exceeding that by which the new
constitution was adopted.

BIG jon ON HAND.-Bcrore they get
through with it, the radical conspirators
will discover that it is 10 easy matter to
stamp the love of liberty and free self-eov-
ernment out Of the hearts of the American
people. The deadly rot of administrative
corruption was doing its deadly work while
the people were resting in fancied security,
but when the combined hosts of radicaIism
committed the overt act against our repub-
lican institutions, by setting up the bayonet
and the corrupt aud thievinG Returning
Board against the will of the majority. the
whole American people were aroused to a
sense of the danger that threatened them
The seven-fold voice of protest that went
up Oh last Monday from all quarters of the
land, and from the lips of many who
worked and voted for II. b. HAYES for
President, is bot the precursor Of the might
ier protest thai is to follow unless the con
spirators pause in their shameless career of
intended crime. The American people are
patient and long-suffering, but there is a
limit beyond which it is dangerous for the
conspirators to pass. Let them be warned
III time. They are not going to be per-
mittcd to pull down the temple of our lib
critics This the people have already de-
clded upon. Ohio Eagly.

AS THE SANDS OF Grants official life are
fast running out he has resolved that at
least one of his brother -iu-law shall not be
FORGOTTEN. His name is Alexander Sharpe,
q man who, for nearly eight years, has been
United States Marshal for the District of
Columbia, with comfortable salary at
taclIed thereto. On yesterday week Grant
nominated him to the Senate for appoint
meut as paymaster in the army, with the
rank and pay of Major. This is life Of
fec and as an obscquious Senate will
promptly confirm him, Sharpe is pretty
well provided for. Another brother-in-law,
Kramer, is now Minister to Copenhagen,
Denmark. What life position is reserved
for him remains yet To be seen. Then there
are The Dents, and that enterprising genius,
brother Oryil II. Grant, all of whom will
doubtless be generously taken care OF.

IL the Senate of this State, Oh Friday
last, in obedience to the decree Cf Re-
publican caucus of the Legislature, held
the night previous, preamble and set of
resolutions were offered by Senator George
V. Lawrence, of Washington county, in
which that distinguished, but slippery poll
ticiau, as the mouth piece Of Simon Cam
eron, of whom he was ouly a few years ago
the sworn foe, undertook to dictate to the
two House of Congress the way III which
the electoral vote for President and Vice
President should he counted and ascertain
ed ut he joint convention of the Senate and
House to be held on Wednesday, the l4th
of February next. These resolutions were
Iuslied through the Senate i'll defiance OF
all appeals from the Democrats for a brlef
postponernent of their consideration, III
order that members might have an oppor
tunify Of examining their true import and
meaning. No man who knows George '.
Lawrence is silly enough to believe that
he is competent to write resolutions on any
subject that would contain common sense
or approved grammar. He was simply
made the wliilng tool Oh much aUier man
of the Cameron ring TO back Don Cameron,
Grants now Secretary of War, Morton,
Sherman, Chandler, and their confederates,
in favor of the forcible Inauguration of
Hayes as President. The lesolr tions them
selves are. as a whole, simply ''sound and
fury, signilying nothing" The vexed ques-
tion of the manner Of counting the electoral
vote is now being carefully considered by
L committee, consisting of nine members
of the House and seCtR Of the Senate. We
must only wait patiently for their final
fion, whatever that may be. The result Of
th,ir deliberations will most probably be
known before our paper goes to press, and
if any agreement should be arrived at we
will publish it.

Tus reports of the House committees
appointed to go to Florida, South Carolina
md Louisiana, to ascertain the true and
honest vote in each of these three disputed
States at the November election, have not
J ct been presented to Congress. 1t is ex-
pected that Mr.. Thompson, Democrat, of
Massachusetts,, chairman of the Florida
committee, will be ready to submit his re-
port in a few days, and that the South
Carolina committee, of which Hon. Milton
Say 81, Democrat, of Cincinnati, is chair
man, will report inside Of ten days. The
Louisiana committee, Hon. William II.
Morrison, Democrat, of Illinois, chairman,
will not oe prepared to report for two
weeks, as vast amount of testimony has
been taken 10y the committee and its sub
committees, in nearly all the parishes in
that State, or, as we call them in this State
counties, all of which must be carefully
and accurately prepared bofore it is pre-
sented to the House. There will of course
be minority reports by the Republican
members of these three committees, all of
which will be anxiously looked for by the
people Of the whole country.
