HARRISBURG. Jan. 13. 1877.
There Is really not much Of interest
in the actual work accomplished in
the legislature during tho past week to
inform your readers of. know they
do not desire q rehash Of the routine
work that the rules Of both houses
make necessary. A vast number of
memorials and petitions have been
presented from different sections Of the
state praying for and against almost
every conceivable measure or moral.
There " = sort OF n mania for this sort
VI thing on the part Of the people every
where and the custom OF the legisla-
ture has very charitably provided that
their names shall be very comfortably
pigeonhold among the archives of the
state to be resurrected in future ages
as an evidence of the follics and wants
ties of this year. The work Of this
week has been simply preliminary and
preparatory. Your readers may think
it takes long while to get in working
order but If the work when accom~
plishcd shall only he well done then
will be no grumhling at the time spent
in getting good start.
THE COMMITTEES.
Through other sources you have nj
ready learned of the detailed formation
of the committees. The member from
yonr county has been honored with the
following positions: Miller--Insuraucc.
Retrcnchmcnt snl Reform, Public
Buildings and Printing.
In most cases these appointments by
the speakers have been entirely salts
factory and will reflect credit upon
their Judgment. There are some spec
i'll instances however when ruGl merit
has not been recognized and whom
bias has perverted the judgement. In
the selection of speaker of the house
there was n little contest aud the choice
lay hetwecn HUM. of Phia.. and Myer
of Bradford. The latter won, and the
staunch friends of the former have in
one or two instances been made to feel
the rod Of the successful aspiraut- This
il noticGbly the case with Mr.. Young
Of Tioga. an able, honest. fearless log
islator who ospouscd the cause Of his
friend Mr.. HUM with all the enthusi-
asm natural to his Sco'ch.Irish descent
and who as a consequence IL not arcog.
ded that prominence which his ability
and his county deserves
CAPITOL REMOVAL.
Tho idea has been suggested and
urged for number of years for the re,
moval OF the state capitol to Phila., and
n bill has already been introduced in
the house providing for the srbmi ,sion
Of this question to vote of the people
upon the condition that phli., will
erect at her own expense the several
buildings necessary for the use of the
Legislature and executive departments
II j. scarcely possible that the favor Ol
the State will bu accorded TO this pro
icct and it is one of the things the peo
pie must prepare themselves for.
