Under the new Pennsylvania Constitution

The Pension Agents,—The pension agents
in some parts of the country make a nice
penny in their disbursement of the $30,000,
000 per annnm in pensions. The law fixes
their salary at $2,000, with $2,000 for clerk
hire and rent, aud allows them thirty cents
for every voucher. This latter fee some-
times amounts to a much larger sum than
the salary itself. A report .to Congress, re*
cently made, shows that the total paid to
peqpiou agents, since 18G9, is $1,427,000
One man in Massachusetts had received $18,-
000 a year since 1870. The work of these
agents are usually of a* very leisurely char
acter, end there is no good reason given why
it should be paid for twice—once by salary,
and again by fees. It is asserted in the
Rouse that pensions can just as well be paid
directly by the Treasury, through drafts, as
through the intermediate agency of local
officials, and a million dollars per annum bo
sated by tbe operation.

Wonders of Newspaper Printing.
The New York Herald claims that a re
cent Sunday edition consisted of one hun
dred and fifty thousand copies. Each num~
her consisted of twenty pages, that is one
hundred and twenty columns, of which sev*
enty-eigbt were advertisements and forty-
two reading matter. The Herald says:
4 'A detail, which will be perfectly new to
non-professionals, is that to produce one
hundred and fifty thousand full copies, it is
necessary to take nine hundred thousand im
pressions. To accomplish this in the short
time allowed, five rotary Hoe presses, of
eight and ten cylinders each, and two Bul
lock perfecting presses, were kept rolling
off at the rate of one thousand a minute. To
drive these huge presses, two large engines
of eighty horse power were kept in motion
by burning six tons of coal jo the furnace*
To form the stereotype plates for‘the eylim
ders, eight tons of type metal were used to
cast one hundred mud forty-eight* plates,
weighing, when finished and dressed, thirty-
eight pound* each. The ink on a single
copy wouid not be taken into observation by
the average observer, but it requir* d seven
hundred aud twenty five pounds to keep the
rollers prepared to leave tbe imprint of their
kisses on the eighteen million virgin pages
that were to glow at daylight with tho news.
And these rollers were composed of five hun
dred pounds of glue mingled with one thousr
and pounds of honey. Then the virgin pages
—the paper on which all this is printed.
There are eighty meu aud boys about the
presses, handling. Sheet by sheeL it is
passed through the press, until seventeen
tons, or thirty-four thousand pounds, are
printed on both sides. If you were to pile
those sheets one upon another, they would
make a monument one hundred and twenty
feet high.”
Patent Outside.—The Griffin Star is re
sponsible for the following:
The Cartersville Staudard and Expreag
comes to us with a patent outside, and makes
an apology for using this new Yankee inven
tion.—Now we don’t think there i&any apol
ogy necessary for the “patent outside.” It
is a great convenience to a lazy editor, and
it is some saving in the business line. In
this case we find the “outside” more interes
ting than the inside. We think the criterion
should be this: Where the editors, for lack
of brains or subject matter, cannot make as
good a paper as tho patent men, then the
“pateut outside” sboud be used. In faot U
might be good poHoy to also ha*e a patent in
side. We believe the Standard and Express
is correct in its course.
Important Message From Goreruor

Sensible Views, and Wise Counsel to
Repudiating commonwealth.
We make the following extract from the
Telegraphic synopsis of a message sent by
Governor Kemper to tbe Legislature of Vir
ginia, on the 27th :

to deliver in the Senate of Georgia, in Au
gust 1872, will readily r«. cognise a similarity
Analyzing Fertilizers,
And uow'come Hunt,Rankin & Lamar, with
analyses of ther fertilizers by “Wo: J. Land,
Analytical Chemist,”—not “to throw discred
it on ProfessorWhite’s capacity as a chemist,
but to protect themselves.'
Wm. J. Land, Analytical Chemist, makes
formula No. 1 worth $59,40 per ton of 2**00
pounds, exeluding cost of manipulation; and
formula No. 2 $40.56.
“When doctors disagree who shall de

And taking the following, corrected anoly-_
sis,’ by Professor White himself, it may well

preserve the credit and honor of the State.
We donbt not other Southern States will
ere long'awake to the necessity of “appoint
ing commissioners, to be charged with the
readjustment or the public indebtedness by
comferring with such Agents as maybe depu
ted by their creditors to meet them.”
“The Governor aaya tbe real situation is not
understood abroad, and it has been, greatly
misrepresented. A full investigation is
bound to s-itisfy the world bf Virginia’s will
ing ness s and purpose to perform all her ob
ligations to the utmost of her ability. In re
gard to the act of March 30,. 1871, known as
the funding act, he says, however unwise or
precipitated its enactment, it were idle now
to question its validity; it wa* tho act of
competent authority. Under it the bonds of
the Ntute have beeu executed and delivered,
and we cannot see behind them to the ex
tent to which its provisions have been ac
cepted. It is undoubtedly a binding con
tract between debtor and creditor, aud it is
incapable of being modified without tbe con*
curence of both contracting parties. Never
theless, our utmost resources arc insufficient
for the prompt aud complete fulfilment of all
its terms, uad to that extent its obligations
are impossible of performing at this time.
He expressed the opinion that were the
recommendations of hi* inaugural message
carried into effect much would be accom
plished toward raising the credit of the State,
and meeting the immediate demand of the
treasury. The State credit is prostrate, and
until it is established on a sound basis, capi
tal will severely shun the State. The relief
he says lies in the restoration of confidence
between the State and its creditors and such
settlement of public indebtedness as will
restore respect for our good faith. It is cer
laiuly in our power, if we now enforce a just
and efficient system of taxation and prudent-
husband our resources, to pay hcnccfor
Ward four per centum per anuum on the en
tire debt intended to be assured by tbe fund
ing act. it is believed that an understand
ing can be had with our credilois, by which
we might guarantee with ccrtaiLty the regtia-
lar aud punctual payment of the semi-annual
instalment, and at a convenient place, two-
thirds of the accruing interest for the pres
ent, giving proper certificates for the deferred
interest and providing for the payment of
full interest, together with the arrearages on
interest account, as soon as our steadily in
creasing resources shall permit it. It is be
lieved that a fair and deliberate conference
betweeu tho State and her creditors will re
sult substantially in the settlement now pro.
posed—a settlement providing for the pay-
raent of each reduoedJnlerest.fox the rii.+«P<m the»ottMlU|^««’ !S *.-

The Religion we Want,
after as will steadily increase with our in
creasing population and resources, so that
tbe whole debt as heretofore assumed, togeth-
qg with the lull interest as now agreed, will
be discharged ultimately, and just as quick-
as the best ability of the State will per
mit. It would bind us to do now what we
are able to do and it would postpone so much
to perform. To do less on our part is repn-
diaiion; to do more is to plunge the .com
monwealth iuto the abyfcs of bankruptcy.
The Govornor recommends the appointment
of two commissioners on behalf of the State,
repi esenting its best financial skill and ex
perience, to be charged with the readjust
ment of the public indebtedness by conferrn
ing with such agents as may be deputed by
the creditors to meet them.

ship is composed of influential men of botK
political parties, and the number is to be
considerably increased at the adjourned
meeting. The organization is to be pushed
rapidly through this an'* other States of the

To the Patrons of Husbandry and the Farmers
of New York :
For tbe purpose of avoiding any confusion
of titles which may arise in the order of
Patrons of Husbandry known as Farmer’s
Granges, and the new political organization
formed in this to-day, and who call them
selves the American Order of Independent
Granges, it should be distinctly understood
that there is no connection between the two
orders whatever—the order of Patrons of
Husbandry not being political in its charac

snrgical facts developed within the armies of
-the Confederate States during the late war—
it has been determined to call a Convention
of the ■•Confederate Surgeons.” (field and
hospital,) to meet ih Atlanta, Ga., May 20th,
1871- ’ * . *
Immediate action is considered absolutely
necessary. Sibce the war, many of the most
talented of the "medical staff” have died,
and yearly others arc added to the list, and
their valuable medical and surgical ex
perience entirely lost to the profession.
For the success of this great Scientific and
Historical Association, it is earnestly recom
mended that the'ex-Confederate surgeons of
each of the Southern States' at once, take
such steps as will secure n_ large delegation.
The co-operAtion of the Medical staff of
the late Confederate Navy respectfully soli
cited.
Besides.tbe contributions to science, the
social features of the-organization, the revi
val of old army associations will be of no se
condary interest.
• The railways of the South; with their usual
courtesy, will'no doubt grant Excursion Tick-
ets for this most important occasion.

The Associated Veterans of 1S46 held their
monihlj meeting Saturda/ night in
lie Temple; ex Governor Denverpre-
and Mr. A. 'M Keuadnj cfficiated aa
secretary.
Several amrndiv.ehts to (ne constitution of
the society were proposed, among others one
to reduce (he Initiation fee to $1, aud month
ly dnea to twenty-five cents.
Col. J. A. Doyle, our old friend Charley
Kloman. find Mr. Patnek 11. English were
elected members.
The. secretary staled that he find, in addi
tion to Ike eiglfl'y-Wiie nirfaLersoa the
i roll,o “reserve”'list ot about forty names of
veterans residing here wh * had not yet
qualified as active members; and authority
was conferred upon the scretary to eoroll the
reserves on payment to him, m l heir convent
cnce, of (he Initiation fee, it'being iuexpedi*
ent for many of them to.&ttend tbe mreiing<t
of the association.
Colonel Simpson P. Moses thanked the as
sociation for the very flattering vote which
lie received at be last meeting tor the office
of the recording secretary, but called their
Attention to the fict, overlooked by them at
tho time, that he tv as inelgilile to the position
under the constitution, ivhicb prohibits any
person from being elected to any office iu the
association, no less be had been a member for
six months preccediug Mich elect ton. He was
therefore compelled to Urcliue the honor.—
Colonel Moses suggested an ameuduienl to «he
constitution to^consolidai e the ofih*61 of record
ing and corresponding secretary .“as he deem
ed a proper fulfillment of those duties requir
ed the Vi cord-of the society lo be in the
possession of one individual.
Secretary Kcuaday. who tendered his res
ignation la.-t month, to take effect at this
meeting, (in order that he mi-ht »*e euableJ
to devote undivided hlleutton to bis duties of
first secretary of the national association
growing ou! of the laic convent ion.) had per
mission to withdraw his resignation. He
stated, in explanation, that he bad been
earnestly s. licitcd by several prominent mem
bers of the local society to coutibue “in the
harness” until the object for which they had
organized becomes an accomplished fact; that
by experience He Jfimls bis duties to tbc no.
tion.nl association and local body are insepa
rable, as tho records of this contain all the
important data relating to that. Although
the combined labo:s of the two associations
will be somewhat burdensome in connection
with his daily pursuits, .he proposes to con
tinue them, with what lititle ability he
possesses, until Congress shall have taken
definite action on the memorial and bill tor a
pension to ibe surviving veterans, now sus
pended” in the committee to which it was
refemd. The local club is in position to do
effective service to the cause of the old com
rade, and he bad no donbt tbal every State
and county organization in the land would
sustain them io their efforts.
A le.ter from Cqi Porter Geld, Charlestown,
W. V* , stated that only a very small number
of survivors resided in that vicinity, and it
being inexpedient lo maiuUin a local organi
zation he suggested that they be alliowed to
become members of tbe Washington Veterans
ihTt usual quota paid by
resident members. Other propositions of a
similar character Lad been made—one by an
officer of tho army stationed al Fort Mouroe,
another by an old sergeant residing at Beau*
fort N* C.
As the constitution of the national assacia-
tion, recently organize 1 , requires member
ship in that body to be made up from mem~
bers of a local or State organization amend
ments were proposed to the constitution of
the Washington association extending its ju
risdiction so as to admit to active membership
officers, &c., of tbe army and navy, and oth
ers situated as above, who were iu other re
spects properly qualified for members, with*
out regard to present domicile, on the pay**
ment..of one dollar (the initiation fee) and the
monthly dues of twenty-five cents, which will
place them in fellowship with the Washington
society and with the national association at
the next meeting, February 22.1875.
In justification of this measure it was con
tended that the association al Washington will
have to again bear the incidental expenses of
the national convention, and in orde to les
sen the burdbns, this body should be permit-
ted by general consent to enroll members
from any part of the -country who desired lo
join! It would not necessarily prevenl tbe
same members acting with their State organ*
izations also. The system adopted by this
association of sending aborad by mail to mem
bers and Kindred societies and printed pro -
ceedings of its monthly meetings, would thus
convey to active membeia in all parts of the
orablc U) the Convention will please copy*
“One of Ihe most distinguished Republi

A recent N Y dispatch says notices to the

District Attorney Phelps to all owners and
agents of houses reported by tbe police as
kept for purposes of prostitution, and there
is a general exodus of’ all the prostitutes

These wards include tbe streets par

thickly populated and most dissolute die.
tnct in the city or country.
The notices were peremptory, and it was
added that, if ihe houses (bus used were not
raeated in fire days, the owners would be
indicted. A law has been dieeorered which
Titrates any lease of a bouse need as a house
of assignation. The general raid on these
places nas resulted from tbe fact that many
of the public schools were .surrounded by
these places, and that Ihe worst classes of
procuresses openly plied their trade among
the school children, many hundreds of whom
hare been enticed into ’these places Great

great numbers of the inmates of these bonces

The Charleston News calls attention lotbe
difference In the rales of taxation prevailing
in Charleston and Savannah. In Savannah,
under a Democratic municipal government,
the city tax is two and one quarieV of uub
percent on real estate, and one quarter of
one per cent, on personal pioperiy. The
Stale and county far amounts to six dollars
and eighty cents on the thousand. In iUdi-
cal ridden Charleston (he Slate and county
tax amounts to seventeen dollars on' the
thousand, and the new Council proposes^ to
make the city tax fwo and one-hair per cent
on every species of properly. ’The New* just
ly thinks that a city cannot promptr wh**»e
property is subjected to such onerous taxa
tion, and demands that Council sha’l recon
sider its determination. In Augu-t& Ihe
Stale and county tax is perhaps less than ii
is in 8av.mt.ah, while Ihe city tnx in only one

dient.i. Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla and
Wild Cherry, so united os to act together; the one,
through its admixture with other substances, purify

system. Thus ;hesc Pills are at tbe same time a tonic
and a cathartic, a desideratum long sought for by
medical men. but never before considered. Io other
words, tiipy do the work of two medicines and do it
much better than any two we know of, for they re-

while they purge they also strengthen and hence they
