HARRISBURG PLUNDER.-Mr. Hewitt
Radical member of the House, let Of
a little truth the other day. In allud
ing to the thefts perpetrated about tn,
Capitol, he said; "The pretence thai
the s23,5S6 charged in the Auditor
Generals account as paid for House
stationery last year never was had by
the members. Three thousand TO five

method of furnishing such supplies tc
this House." he SAID, sis perfectly in

to the handsome curtains, costing s1S,.
900, which had hung last winter at the
House windows, but which were now
missing and could not be accounted for
Mr.. Hewitt vigorously defended the
character Of members and their free
dom from corrupt practices, but there
are men about the hill Of whom all he
could say was "They wouldn't steal
what they couldn't reach" 1t is pref.
ty evident, when prominent Radical,
like Hewitt, speaks out in this manner,
that there has been some high-toned
stealing done at Harrisburg during the
past yeas. Now, then, will the rogues
be exposed and compelled to disgorge
their plundcr or, will they be allowed
to furnish more stationery next year ?

RADICAL FooD.-The shooting Of
Col. Aston in Atlanta, Ga, the other

Press to indulge some taunts relative
to the condition OF society and tho in.

murdered and robbed and women as.

Of Pennsylvania. The Press sneeringly
stakes its reputation on the assertion
that the murderer Of Col. Alston will
not be convicted. A coroner's jury

Coon NEws.---The Iron Age says
that more iron is now manufactured
in the United States with bituminous
coal and coke, than with either an
thracite or charcoal. Up to the year
1859 more pig iron was made with
charcoal than with either anthracite
or bituminous coal, but in that year
anthracite took the lead, which it kept
until 1876, when it was exceeded by
bituminous fuel and coke, which now
have the ascendancy and promise to
retain it. The production Of pig iron
with bituminous coal and coke was
less than that made with charcoal un.
til 1869, only ten years ago, when
charcoal was left in the rear forever.
