The Greensburg manage well. Auditor General's Report. By the leport of the Auditor General of the State, we leara that the following payments have been made to the State during the year 1871, viz Tax on Personal P-operty 3,799 24 position that we have seen IB a public print for some time, is the "isfence in the last Progress, of the economical process of printing a country newspaper, usually denominated "paUnt or outsides." We receive) at this r-Sice a number of papers printed this way, that is one-half printed in Philadelphia, New York, or Chicago; and the other half the work of their own offices. There is neither individuality or originality about them, and we have the first person to meet yet who will say that he reads the patent part of the said papers. Democratic, Republican or Independent, they are all of one pattern.

From an examina- of them it seems to us that certain wishy-washy selections are put in lype and allowed to stand for months at a time without change, except to change from one paper to another, and one of the editions a year old, reads about as well as the latest. The only redeeming feature, it seems in the eyes of those who use them, is tbe quantity of matter, without regard to the quality. We admit that the process is labor saving," i. splendid thing fora lazy man, or men who are mere compilers, without sufficient brains to make selections for themselves. There is not one first-class paper, anywhere, printed in this way.

In the West it may be sary to use them, or new beginners, who have an insufficiency of material, may te justified la doing so, but that an old established, well patronized newspaper should attempt a defence of the system is to us unaccountable. The article in the Progress in defence of the system is not original with the editor. It is a sort of a arrangement made up of the arguments of those who are coining money off of country printers, with here and there an illogical word or two to make it fit this locality. As long as we have the material on hand, and can buy, beg or borrow sufficient white paper, we intend to have the entire control of ocrown as well as we eannot do this we will agree that the business of printing local newspapers should be handed ever to a mammoth company, in distant state, who are making mo'ney, and cutting down the prices of advertising, by using the reserved space in each paper for a mere nominal sum. We cannot help making the deduction that those who use these patent insides" or outsides," are of the class of country editors who have mistaken their calling, and who are doing their best to debauch and break down the influence of the local press.

The editor of the Progress seems to think that this process gives the editor more time to attend to the local and editorial department of his paper, but the readers of that sheet will fail to discover tbe advantages claimed. It may give him more time to work at job printing, under price, and saves the another capacity, declared President Jonson should be impeached, because "he removed faithful public officers ana apeointed others, whose only claim to consideration was devotion to his interest and obedience to his will, and because they compensated themselves for this by frauds upon tbe revenue and violations of tbe laws of the land." Again Mr. Boutwell said: 'These men have been bound to him by the strongest ties. The corruptions of the public service have enriched his personal adherents and strengthened the passion of avarice in multitudes more. These classes of men have exerted their power to close up every ave- nne of information." Upon such partisan allegations as these President Johnson was tried before a Badical Senate and acquitted.

They were not sustained by facts. There were mere false fabrications gotten up to remove tbe President in order that Mr. Boutwell and his party could finger the spoils of office. But do not the Charges of Mr. Boutwell fit the case of General Grant? Hear what A.

T. Stewart, the eminent merchant of New York, and a friend of Grant, said in regard to the of Leet who were the personal adherents of tbe President, and were being enriched by the curruptions of the public service: Q. Have you ever stated your views to the Secretary of the Interior or the President A. Well, I prefer that you should not ask me that question. Q.

Mr. Stewart, this a proper question the President is a public officer, the highest in the land; the Secretary of the Treasury is a public officer, a very high officer, A. I never did to the Secretary of the Treasury. Q. I do not wish to press you beyond what you think is proper, but if you have no serious objection, will you mention whether you called the attention of the President to it? A.

Greeley In Saturday's The Custom House Committee is credited with an intention of avoiding a return to this city, the pretense being made ef a continuance of the investiga- tien in Washington Gentlemen! you can't afford it! The whole country would recognize that as predestinatioa and forerdained whitewashing! And besides, since every investigation, as we til agree, can only-redound to the credit of the Administration, we insist that this one shall thoroughly go the bottom. He is no friend to the Administration who tries to sneak out of the work, or away froti the only place where the work can be done.

We now call upon the country to watch this Committee, and see who shows any unwillingness to come back to the barely begun tasfc of investigating the New York Custom House. Spot the men who wince, and want to get out. Greeley Caricatured. Harper's Weekly is one of the most subservient Radical newspapers in the country. The reader of it will seek through it in vain for an independent sentiment.

It stands ready to defend every act of the party in power, no matter what it may be. This is done not osly in its editorial columns, but through the agency of caricatures from the pencil of Thomas Naat. Its last issue contains a representation of Horace Greeley in two attitudes. On one side he is portrayed io an humble posture offering a bail-bond to Jeff. Davis, which the ex-chief of the ex- Southern Confederacy is represented as looking upon with a scornful face.

Upon the other side Grant is seen sitting upen a porch reading over the Civil Service Rules, whileGreelystands without fiiuging a hnndful of something labelled "Tammany Mud" at him. This sketch delights all the Badical editors in tke country and they are laughing heartily over it. The only offense committed by Greeley is the publication in the Tribune, of tbe damaging reports made in relation to the Custom-Houso frauds with proper comments upon the same. Because Horace Greeley does not choose to cover up rascality in tbe Bepublican party, he is held up for an object of ridicule and contempt. Badical editors seem to imagine it their duty to conceal every thing that might calculate to damage Grant in.

tbe public ettimation. Horace Greeley hau a higher and nobler conception of his duty as a journalist. He atlaeks corruption wherever finds it, and he can afibrd to listen with profou ndcoiiternpt to tliu sneers of these whom he oiice so aptly styled, "the insignificant creatures whom God iu Hia iuscrutable Providence permits to edit the rural newspapers of Be- publican party." wages of one hand, but if this is an advantage to any body but himself we cannot see it, and we think his readers will fail to see it. 1 i Religious Tests. The Cincinnati Commercial furnishes the following which we commend to Judge Strong.

A quotatiom or two from a curious old report of the proceedings of the Pennsylvania Convention of 1790 is in point, aud will prove mighty interesting reading. The Old Constitution of Pennsylvania in 1776, contained the following provision in its tenth section "Each member the before he takes his seat, shall make and subscribe the following declaration, viz: 'I do believe' in one Uod, tfce Creator aud Governor of the Univsrse, the Be- warderof the good, and the the wicked and I do acknowledge the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be given by Divine inspiration And no further or otherreligious test shall ever hereafter be reqmired cf any civil officer or magistrate In this State." In the Convention of 1750, a select committee of nine reported an alteration of the above paragraph, and sab- mitted the following section "No person who acknowledges the being of a God, and a tuture state of rewards and punishments, shall on account of his leligions ientiments be disqualified to hold any office or place of trust or profit uuder this Commonwealth." This provoked warm discussions. "Some members," says the reporter of tbe debate, "were displeased with this departure from the test in the old Constitution others thought that no religious test ought to Jje required others insisted that the proposed section was merely a nominal and not a real test, for there was no injunction to require it of any public officer; would it exclude infidels, because they would readily make such a declaration if required." A motion was made to strike out the words "who acknowledges the being of a God, and a future state of and punishments," so that the section would stand thus: "No person shall, on account of bis religious sentiments, bo disqualified bold any office or plate of trust or profit under this Commonwealth." The yeas and nays were taken, and resulted For striking aut, 13; against, 47. The list of affirmative contains the well-known names t)f Albert Gallatin, Timothy Pickering and Samuei Sitgreaves. Mr.

Pickering proposed the following "That the members offthe Legislature, and all executive and judical officers shall be bound by oath or affirmation to snopoit the Constitution of this State, but no religious test shall be required as a qualification to any office of public trust in this State." This was voted down and the discussion adjourned. Subsequently, February 19, 1790, the reoort of the select committee came again under consideration, and it was moved to strike out the words "rewards and punishments," so as to require a belief ill a future state. Also, moved that tbe section read as follows "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under this And also moved to insert after tbe word "God," "the Bewarder of the good and Punisher of tbe wicked," and to strike out the words, "a future btate of rewards and All these molions failed, and Cielfcst clause was inserted in the new Lpnstilution but it wa- stated, after the Coustitution bud bcien in force eigbtfi years, and now hure contradicted, that, at no time any public officer beeu required to muUe the declaration of Ijelief so zealously contended for by time-fourths of the members of the Convention.

Grant, from the White House and its San Domingo job to the Custom House at New York and its General Order "enriched his personal adherents, and strengthened the pastion of avarice in multitudes more What were mere allegations in regard to President Johnson, are well attested facts in relation General Grant, and he certainly comes witUin the circles of condemnation drawn by Mr.

Boutwell in the case of the late Chief Magistrate of the Union. The Military Convention. The Militia bill prepared by the Military Convention held iu Philadelphia recently, and presented in the House a day or two a remarkably lengthy document. It contains ninety-six sections and covers forty-seven pages of foolscap. The bill is very comprehensive in its outline, and all tbe details of the proposed military system are carefully elaborated, the regular army ef Harrisburg Letter.

HAKKIEBURCI. Jan. 21,1872. Jafr. Since I last writ you the Bepublican state for Governor has been somewhat modified.

Whilst it is generally conceded that the Auditor General "ring" has still the inside track, assisted as they are nominally by the Winnebago chief, the result is not so certain. The great war chief, Geary, the astute defender of the steal, has put the vfirmlllion on and is now after the scalps of all who do not recognize him as "big iujun." His man is Francis Jordan, the present gentlemanly and efficient Secretary of of theCom- monwealth and the trains of hisadrnin- istration." We regret to see as good a man as Jordan in such company. The companionship will kHl him, yet he is developing some strength. Gen. vVhite's best "hold" now is to come in as a compromise candidate, a game that in recent conventions in this State is "played out." It seems to be conceded oil the Democratic side, that Gen.

Geo. W. Cfl'B, will get tbe nomination. He should have had itin 7868. Whether his time has gone by now is a matter for future development.

There is no dispute about one General would make an honest, able and dignified Governor. It will take a superabundance of all these good qualities to lift tbe office out of the mud and filth to which it hai been degraded these past five years. The Senate committee to investigate the Gee. O. Evans war claims is as follows: Messrs.

Graham, White and Wallace. The House committee is composed of Messrs. White, Hewitt.Hancock.M'ConnellandNoyes. There is at least two white- washers on that committee. A bill has been offered in the Senate to provide a call for the convention to amend the Constitution, A bill has alio been introduced ing the mileage of constables, jurors, witnesses in Indiana County.

What it is I do not knew at this tinia, but will get you a copy. A joint resolution has been passed and signed by the governor fixing the final adjournment on Thursday, March 28. The cost of the improvements made in the Senate Chamber and hall of the House is estimated, for carpets, curtains, al $36.000. Under the superintendence ol the late clerks that was a nice little job, Since the year 1868 there has been spent on furniture the small sum of as much as bad been spen for the same purposes during the twenty years preceeding! But this is the new that under good order and Demo cratic rule! A jointresolutioninstruct- ing our Senators, and requesting our Bepresentatives in Congress to vote for and urge the passage of a bill granting bounty land to honorable discharged soldiers an'd sailors, was passed. Mr.

Graham in relatiod to libel offered the following act, viz: SECTION 1. Be it enacted, Thaton tbe trial of indictments for writing or publishirg libel, the truth of the matter charged as libelous, may be given in evidence, and if the jury in any case shall find that the same was written or published from good motives and for justifiable ends, aud that the matter so charged be true, and it shall operate to the acquittal of the accused. This is offered about once every ses- JesraZgentlemen on the Judiciary committee usually strangle Its passage is an act of justice to publishers that should no longer be delayed. Mr. Buckalew called up the following act, which was read twice and laid over: SECTION 1.

Be it enacted, That ia all future of directors of common schools iulhitcommonwealth, wherever two or more persons are to tie cbesen in a district for the same term of service, each voter may give all his votes to one or more candidates as he shall think fill, and candidates highest in votes shalfbe declared elected. Any the United States being taken as a model, as far as this bas been possible. By the provisions of the bill, all male citizens of the Commonwealth between the of eighteen and forty-five are to be enrolled as liable to militia duty, the tae only exemptions in addition to those for physical and similar disabilities, being in the of certain officeholders and those who have served five years in the army and been honorably discharged therefrom. All laws heretofore passed relating to the military organization of the State, are repealed by this bill. The sections providing for the support of the State military do away with the present obnexious commutation tax.

They read as follows SEC. 87. The amount of the Slate military fund to be raised annually shall be at the rate of one dollar for each person on the last military enrollment returned by the Inspector-General of the several divisionaof the State tbe Adjutant-General, on or before the first day of November of each year. SEC. 88.

The Adjutant-General, Auditor-General aud State Treasurer shall constitute the State Military Board, and shall meet immediately after this bill shall become a law, and on the first Monday of December thereafter, and on the first Monday of December of each succeeding year, and, after estimating the amount of tbe military fund, together with the amount due from each county, shall certify tbe same to the Auditor-General, to be filed in his SEC. 89. It shall be the duty of the Auditor-General, as soon as said certificate is received for the year, or on or before the first day of January of each year, to notify the County Commissioners of tho several counties of this btate of tbe amount required asaforesaid from their counties respectively, which amount shall be taken into account by said Commissioners when they make their estimate of tbe probable expenses of their counties for the ensuing year and in addition to the county rates and levies now authorized by law, there shall be levied and collected, as other rates aad levies now are, a tax sufficient to raise theamountasaforesaid, charged to the counties respectively, whieh amount shall be paid into the Bute Treasury at the same time that other levies ou counties for State purposes are paid Said amounts so levied and col- leeted for military purposes, and paid into the Stele Treasury, shall be held exclusively for military purposes. SEC. 90.

The State Military Board shall audit and adjustall military claims payable out of the Btate military fond, and after adjustmenl of any claims submitted to it, the Adjutant-General shall issue his warrant for amount thereof, payable at the State Treasury. THE FJOUT AMOKQ THE BADICAI.S of the Fourth Senatorial District of Philadelphia, over the nomination has been very bitter, and.bas culminated in bloo4 shed. Twomenweresuotlastweekone of them fatally injured, Howelevating are the examples given to the world by that erganization which professes to be the part; of moral Ideas, appointments to fill a vacancy in the board directors shall, whenever practicable, be made from among the voters of the dibtrict who shall have voted for the director whose place is to be filled. SEC. 2 Whenever a voter shall intend to give more votes than one to any didate for school director, shall express his intention distinctly and clearly upon the face of his ballot, otherwise but one vote shall be counted and allowed to such candidate; but any ballot which shall contain or express a greater number of votes than the whole number to which the voter shall be entitled shall be rejected.

A communication was received from Bothermel announcing that the picture of the "Battle of Gettysburg" would be ready for delivery on or before the 22d of February. A spicy debate ensued as to what should be done with the painting, but no decision reached. After being hawked about the country, and narrowly escaping destruction by fire in Chicago, the painting for which the Slate paid $20,000 will at last find resting place, provided our Legislators agree upon it. A great many of the Senators and Representatives complain that they have not received their quota of tbe 1st volume of Bates' History. The public printer placed them in the bands of Mr.

Bates, and he is responsible for the deficiency, if any exist. INDIANA. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. WASHINGTON, D. Jan.

15,1872. Among the number of plaiu to be 3 resented to Congress to provide a coin ard paper currency. of uniform value hroughont the country, that of HOB. freeman Clarke, ex-controller of tbe currency, has great prominence. It irovidea for redemption in coin of legal ender notes after thirty days' notice, with a proviso that they can be re-issued.

National banks to redeem their notes in New York, at par, in lawfnl money National banks to hold their legal reserved fund, in addition to coin hand, till September 1, 1872, after which aucU requirement for a reserve shall ceaee. National to be authorized in New York, to an amount not exceeding one per cent, of capital stock of tbe bank so subscribing such New York bank to be appointed as redeeming agent. National banks to be from taxation except this redeeming bank. No coin shall be sold by tbe Treasury when it will reduce the coin balance below millions, until tbe time fixlljlbr redeeming the legal tenders. Duties shall be paid in coin.

Mr. will introduce this bill in tbe House to-day. No matter what measures this Congress may adopt looking to a resumption of specie payment, the National banks, tbe pets and props of Badicalism will not be curtailed of their privileges and their power to assist in maintaining their friends in continuing the present ruinous financial system. The nate of the Russian chancellor, Prince Gortschakoff, to Mr. Curtin, our Minister of Russia, ou the treatment and dismissal of M.

Catacazy by the President Secretary Fish is not very well relisted by them. Prince Gortschakoff defends Catacazy and virtually reproves Grant and Fish. The truth of the matter is the Russian Government has learned that the whole affair of Catacazy's dismissal grew out of the Perkins' claim which Grant's brother-in-law is the attorney, and which the Russian misnster denounced as a fraud upon his government, and also the jealously of Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Fish of Madame Catacazy whose taloons were the center of all that was fashionable in Washington.

Grant and Fish are furi but this tempest in a teapot will not lead toanythingserious. I trust that will be the last time that brotber-in-law jobs and the Presidents wife's jealously will cause unpleasantness between us and friendly nations. The amnesty bill is the special order to-day in the Senate, and if brought up Senator Sumner will press his civil rights bill an amendment in aspeech of several hours length and will assail the President as preferring rebels to negroes as he (Grant) told the negroe delegation, which he called upon last week, that the amnesty bill should go through on its own merits, and not as amended to Mr. Sumner. The Radical cauldron in the Senate will soon begin seeth and hiss and spit, and when it boils over, as it will ere the session closes, Grant and his friends will find themselves cretty badly scalded as the boiling mass will contain much Radical bile bitterness the effect will be poisonous.

Among Senators who propose attacking the civil service reform rules recently adopted are Morton, Carpenter and Pomeroy. Several heads of Departments are opposed to it also. General Grant cares bat little whether Congress endorses civil reform as inaugurated by him or not, as he will claim credit for the attempt and he is as powerful with as without it. To-morrow evening the Democratic Senators and members will meet in caucus and determine their course of legislative action upon the resolution of Hon. S.

S. Cox recognizing the belligerency of Cuba, and on tbe amnesty question, fishery bounties, civil service reform, and other questions on which united action should be had. There is no doubt but that expression will be given as to future political action, and that expression will settle at once all the hopes of political jugglers who are tossing up "passive policy" with one hand and "coalition" with the" other, and showing the greedy office seeking outs how dexterously they can manage the whole thing. Ex-Senator Hendricks, of Indiana, is expected here shortly to confer with Democratic Senators and Members on the political situation. Sore headed Radicals and weak kneed Democrats need not expect much from the conference when such a staunch Democrat as Mr.

Hendricks is called upon for the benefit of his wisdom and experience. Aewf Advertisements. 1M BeitoMe Men and Women To sell the ELIAS HOWE SEWING MACHINE, Address C. H. LINCOLN, 38wtt No.

K. MCC.LURE HAS accepted (be nomination of the Reform Republicans of the Fourth District for Senator. We understand that there will be so Democratic candidate, so that tfce fight will be between Mr. McClure aud the Bing candidate of the Bepublicans.
