SNYDER, the man who recently sur
rendered to Gen. Black, the Commits
stOHer Of Pensions, his certificate which
entitled him to nearly nine hundred
dollars year, of which singular Incl
dent we made mention last week, has
been pronounced insane. 1t is always
strong pTesumptlve evidence of mental
imbacility when man with nothing but
cloirn against the Government, wheth-
er VOL founded or not, abandous its
viea-'us pursuit, but when he goes to
Washington carrying in his pocket
written evidence that the Government
is his debtor end offers to cancel it, the
proceeding is confirmation strong as
proof OF holy writ that he is a it sub
ject for lunatic asylum.

The Harrisburg Patriot in an article
reviewing the record of the late Legis-
Iature and the daily attendance of the
lobby on its proceedings, says:
The greatest blot on the Legislature that
has inst closed was the constant presence of
an impudent lobby. In season and out the
agents nf this enemy of good legislation were
on the floors OF 10th branches Every bill
that came from the committees was subject

His death closes a most eventful career
He was captain of Massachusetts, COM
pany of infantry in the late war, and
served for a time in Florida. After it
was over he settled in Gainesville, in
that State, where he soon became alead-
ear in local politics. During the days
of reconstruction and up to 1876 he
made politics the business of his life,
and being gifted with natural powers Of
oTatory he acquired more influence in
Aalchua county, always strongly Repub-
lican, than any other man ever exeT-
cised before. The large colored element
in the county was completely under bis
control. and through its vote he was
kept continuously in Office. In tie cam

The Legislature which adjourned
finally on Friday last passed 321 bills,
about 125 Of which seek to take money
out o. the public treasury, most of them,
however. for necessary purposes. The
Governor has approved II bills, and We
tOed II, in IA of which he was sustained
by the refusal Of the House to pass them
over the vetoss by the required two
thirds vote. There yet remain 233 bills
to be acted upon by the Governor, and
the Constitution gives him thirty days
after the final adjournment within
which TO dispose of them either by his
approval or his veto.

Four very costly physicians have
been employed almost constantly during
the past six months attending General
Grant Their aggregate bills on the
frst NJ the present month amounted to
$40, 900. and were paid, as is now said,
by George W. Childs, of the Philadel-
phia Ledger. Mr.. Childs has always
been very warm personal friend of
Gen Grant, and the statement is, there
fore, probably true. His bank account
will not be materially lessened by this
act of generosity as he is very wealthy.

No Legislature in this State ever be-
fore so recklessly attempted to rob the
people by voting pay for extra services to
its officers and employees, as the one that
adjourned week ago to day. The pay
for these extra services was provided for
in several items in the general appro-
priation bill and amounted in the agpre-
gate TO over $50. 900 for the two houses.
All OF the items were vetoed by the
Governor, and all of them were passed
over his veto, first by the House and
then by the Senate, there being enough
rotten Democrats in the latter BODY to
unite with the Republicans aud secure
a two-thirds vote against the Governor.
John G. Delaney, the Librarian Of the
Senate, an Office as useless and un-
necessary as a fifth wheel to a wagon
and which ought to have been abolished
years ago. whose salary for a session is
$500, was provided for in the bill with
total of 80, 900, of which sum 81 500
is for a period when the Legislature
was not in session. Delauey's case will
serve as fair sample of the other ap-
propriatiOns to the officers Of 6oth hous-
es for trumped up extra services. How
any honest mar in either branch could
endorse such harefaced swiodlng by his
vote. is hard to understand. At the
instance of the Governor the Attorney
General, Lewis G. Cassidy, served a
written notice on the Auditor General
not to audit and upon the State Treasu-
rer not to pay any of the appropriations
embodied in the vetoed items. If De.
lanev and 1.-THE rest of us'' ever get
their plnnder they must fight their way
for it through the Court Of Dauphin
county. and after that through the Su-
preme Court.

WITH the aid of four Democratic
members of the State Senate the Repub-
Iicans were enabled to pass the Congress
sIonal Apportionment bill over the Gov
ernor's veto by just the necessary two
thirds. Their names are VanGergrift,
OF Bucks, Sutton. of Montgomery, Hart,
of Lycoming and Ross. Of Greene. The
reason given by these fonr Senators for
voting to pass the bill over the veto, viz !:
that their respective counties were bet
ter cared for under it than by the exist
ing apportiOnment, is totally indefensi-
Bile. A Democratic member OF the Sem
ate OF House who, by his vote aids the
the Republicans in passing an appor-
tiOnment bill which in most OF its
features violates every principle Of JUS
tice, merely because the bill puts his
own county in district which is accept
able to him, is a very unsafe man to leg
islate for the people of the whole State.
When the veto came to vote in the
House, which is more than two-thirds
Republican, 1t was sustained, the vote
against the veto lacking fUe of the Con-
stitutional Dumber. This action OF
the House continues in force the present
bill until after the next election of Con.
gressUen in this State in November
1886. The Republicans could have
passed faiI bill during the first two
months of the session. if the intention
to do so had existed. but it didn't, and
the result is that their gerrymsnder wa.
so infamous that at the last hour it wa.
murdered by Republican votes in tht
House. Gov. PattisOn was true to the
record he made two years ago Of the
apportionment question, true to tht
Constitution which the bill violated
and true to his party which it outraged
