AFTER DINNER TALK.
What Was Said at tho Constitutional Il

What Was Said at tho Constitutional Ean-
qUet.
A correspondent of tho Pittsburg Dis
patch who seems to have been under the
table the other evening when the consti-
tuition makers dined ii, this city, writes to
his paper as follows:
Attorney General Palmer arose, and
after paying . compliment to the conve,,-
tion and its work, made furious attack
upon the Legislature for MT carrying it
into effect. lIe cited their failure to carry
out the provisions as to discrimination
aud free railroad passes, and affirmed that
the free pass system lost the state $3.50, 600
year, because the members of the Legis-
lature spent half their time at home Or on
tho road when they should be earning
their salaries. lie also charged the SUI
premc court with having shown prejudice
time they decided the act to secure honest
elections in Philadelphia unconstitutional
down to the present. "Wc put in the
constitution" he said, "the proviso that
common pleas judges should be learned in
law. Would to God We had required
similar qualification for the supreme bench
also, or that we had swept that be nch
clear and allowed tho people to put in a
new set of judges who would have ro
spected the constitution which the people
adopted" His remarks wero loudly ap-
plauded.
Then Governor Curtin. disclaiming any
desire to give political tingo to tho en-
tertainment, called upon John Stewart, of
Chambersburg. At the name of the In
dependent leader thore was great burst
of cheering. Others who had spoken were
applauded, but Stewart received an ova.
ton. Harry Parsons, tho Stalwart
Republican mayor, of Williamsport, cried
out, Il propose the health of John
Stewart irrespective of politics." Every
body sprang to his feet. Somebody called !
for three cheers, and three ard and a
tiger were given with a will. Mr.. Stewart |
spoke very briefly, expressing his conf
dence in the constitution, and promising
better things Of the Legislature III the |
future.
Short addresses wore also made by COL |
onel Boyd, of NOrristown J. Price Weth-
Grill and George NJ. Dallas. of Philadel- |
phia Mayor Parsons, Of Williamsport
VIM. II. Smith and Malcolm Hay, Of Pitts.
burgh and Hon. Jas. Bailey, and long |
one toward the end of the proceedings by |
Ok Attorney General Lear. Mr.. Hay,
being toasted as political reformer, pre-
faced his very brief response with tho
remark that from the indications the field |
of reform, which he had borne a part in
seemed to have its fitting
cxemplars only in Philadelphia, and
added that he was already weary of such
reform.

THE interviews Of the New York Her
aM-reprinted in this issue Of the In
TELLIGENCER-with Mr.. PattisOn and
Mr.. Cassidy, are frank and Interesting.
While both reserve to the governor elect
the privilege of changing his mird be.
tween now and his Inauguration, neither
leaves any room for doubt that the Sc
lection of Mr.. Cassidy for attorney
general has been determined upon. We
have thus contemplated it for some
time. Mr.. Cassidy seems to he of the
opinion that the chief objections urged
against his appointment are his past re-
latioEs with great corporations rs their
counsel hence the fear that he might
not impartially enforce the laws Of the
state against them. We have not so
understood it. For all that, these inter-
views are we'll worth reading every
line of them, and even between the
lines.

EDS INTELLIGENCER-Th Christmas

packs were too heavy for him, and lie

Room for Reform.

It is q most gratifying sign uf tic
times that the liz Democratic member;
of the House of Representatives whu
are assembling in Harrisburg are ia very
few cases followed by tie hungry
horde Of Office-seekers, who generally
press close upon the advent Of a majority
into legislative control. Comparatively
few individuals, and even few delega
tions have appeared 1T the state capital
with such appendages dragging ut their
heels, and the prospect for a real, earEcs:
effort to cut down the number Of officials
and reduce expenses is highly encourag
ing. The candidates for speaker and
chief clerk all proclaim their sympathy
with this purpose, and upon these of,i
GERS will largely depend its success, but
the almost universal demand of the
members, especially of the new represen
tatives and those who come from Repub.
lican or doubtful districts, is that the
pledges Of the campaign must be faith
fully kept. How promptly and thorough
ly this can be done and how much can
be accomplished at the outset depends
less upon the temper of the members
than upon the construction given to and
the latitude allowed by the act of May
Ii, 1874, "fxing the compensation
Of the members of The general
Assembly and the numbers, duties ard
compensation of the officers and EN-.
plcyees. thereof" As courts, governors
and cabinets have wrestled with this act
and wrangled over its meaning, it is
somewhat difficult to decide just what it
intends, though every Republican Leg
iS!ature that has met since its enactment
has availed itself of the privilege of
filling all the offices suggested by it, and
some which have no sort of justification
under it. It appears that of the forty
two officers ard fifteen pages enumer.
ated in the first clause of the second sec
lion of this law as permissible employees

LANCASTER DAILY NTEI1GENCER SATURDAY.

designated in the third clause of the same
section Of the act are necessary to a legal
organization of the House. At the out
set, therefore, it must choose speaker,
chief clerk, reading, resident and journal
clerk, two transcribing clerks,
folding superintendent, sergeant-at-
arms and door keeper (rot assistants)
fireman, messenger and postmaster.
Should the Democrats not elect
these officers there would he no saving
to the state, as their Republican prede.
cessors would serve and draw their sala.
ries until new officers were chosen. But
beyond these retiring officers it is very
doubtful if the Democratic caucus
should 60 until it has carefully investi-
gated and determined what of the others
provided for by this act are needful. As
elsewhere pointed out, the pastors and
folders can all be dispensed with ; and,
we believe, half the pages, assistant
sergeants alarms, messengers and
doorkeepers, and as large a proportion,
if not all, of the janitors and flremen.
If this is done, and chief clerk is
chosen who will stop the leaks and
steals in the manipulation of the coltin.
gent fund, the Democratic House will
start with clean bill of health and will
delight its constituents.
The practical way to get at these mat
| tiers will be for the caucus Of Monday
night to, first of all, adopt a resolution
to fill at present only the necessary retir
ing officers !; and to appoint a committee
or otherwise to determine what of tli'
9th. rs are absolutely essential, and to
postpone present action on all the minor
PAGES until this is determined. 1t is
needless to add that the Democratic
senator's should make the same issue in
their body. Whether they will partici
pate Or not in the organization, they
should put the Independents and Stall
warts on the record on this matter
which entered so largely into the discus
sions of the campaign.

Larceny Of Tools,

John Shroad and Hosgy Blair were ar
