Putting aside his objections to tbe bill in Its present shape, we find, on examination of his communication, that there is not a very material variance between him and ourselves, after all.

He freely and fully admits tbe justice of the claims, but insists that the general government shall pay them. In his zeal in behalf of the sufferers of the border, he demands that no time shall be lost in pressing these claims on the government of the United States. He denies the responsibility of the State, aud tbat, then, is the only material question in contro ersy. While we not desire to intrud party considerations into the debate on this important subject, we must be permitted to say that it affords anotherevidenco of the soundness of those principles which formerly obtained io the administration of the government of the United States, and gave life, consistency and justice to the policy of a great party. Tbat sovereignty of the Slates and the limited nature of federal powers, is doctrine absolutely indispensable to justice and to good government, in the practi xiousii.

Wednesday, Maxell 2, 1870. Tie Border Claims. The publication of the bill for tie payment of tbe losses of tbe border counties, bas called forth very favorable comments from some journal, wbiUt it baa elicited from a few others an exhibition of a spirit of the utmost vindictiveness and iliiberality. The latter have resorted tbe basest means to prejudice tbe public mind against tbe border claimant. One paper and nearly trebles, tbe amount of tbe losses, fixing it at teem million dollars, in order to secure tbe opposition of some sordid soak whose money is their God.

But the application is not now made and is not pending against tbe government of tb United States. The appeal ia made to tbe State herself, for that relief which tbe plainest principles of justice demand not on tb ground that the Stale is solely responsible, or solely bound in honor and good conscience to make good tha losses occasioned by rebel invasion, but on the other and certain ground tbat the State is an entire end single community, a social association with common interests and duties, and tbat an injury to a part of the inhabitants by external force, ia an injury to tne whole, and should lie borne by the whole. Tbe citizens of the border were not separately insulted when tbe torch was applied to Cham-bersburg, and when the armed and insolent foe swept over tbeir fields.

This State was insulted and smitten. Her honor was offended, her dignity assailed, and her whole people outraged. Is it just, is it reasonable, is it according to that equity which should characterize the conduct of States, tbat the actual loss should be borne by a few, instead of being borne by the whole? The ultimate liability of the Federal government is beside our question, which is a primary on, and not one of secondary consideration. Shall not losses in common cause be accepted as a common burden Shall not th principle of equal contribution according to means, which is the principle of all just taxation, be applied to the question in band? Is it according to sound social morals tbat a few members of tbe community should sustain the entire loss incurred by them aa members of tbe political society Tbe whole question is stated in the proposition that it is the duty of the Stale to defend her citizens whenever tbe ability to do ao exists, and tbat when she fails lo performing this duty she shall indemnify those who suffer by her default. We suppose this to a part, of that social compact which create a Slate, and we repeal that the question whether the federal government bas done her dutv to tbe Stale, is a subsequent and quite different one.

Tbe State may have cause of complaint against the government of tbe Lulled States, for that mismanagement of the war by wbicb tbe liability of tbe Stte to her own citizen, and tha'losses of tbe latter, were occasioned, But who shall make and pres a demand on that government? Tbe citizen or the To put tbi question is to answer it. Let us do our duty to our own citizens, and then will tbe State be in position to demand justice of the general government, and not till then.

Paris, Feb. 24. A stormy scene occurred fu tbe Corps Legislatlf to-day.

M.

This met with great opposition from the deputies of the Right, who burst in to loud cries of disapproval, aud caused a scuuee of con fusion which lasted many rain-utss. M.

It could not present tha spectacle of men arrived at power aud disowning tbeir principles and act. He was continually interrupted while making the explanations, and' it was onlv when censed speaking that order was restored. The Right immediately moved the order of tho day, upholding the system of official candidatures, and a stormy discussion ensued. Oiiivier asked tbat the order of the day be not made a vote of want of confidence. The deputies of the Left declared tout they would support the Ministry, because they were pledged to electoral freedom, but for no other reason.

The question wtis then taken, aud the order of the day, as moved by the Right, was adopted, by a vote of 187 against 56.

He B-cmed in an unusually bad humor, and befor I had said a word to bira about Grant and the Administration he commenced a promiscuous damning of things in general. I asked him what waslbe matter. "'Oh, nothing," said he, "only I wish Grant would pay off his debt in some oilier way than by nominations to the Su-prome bench." He then proceeded to state thut when he entered the President's private room he found Ex-Governor Ward of Nw Jersey there; that was whittling a stick and smoking, and that he aril Wiird were talking about tbat Long Branch property tbat Grant bad asked Ward bow much he thought it was worth that Ward said he didu't know, but he hoped Grant wouldn't sell it.

"No," said Grant, "I don't think I will sell it. It's it very nice property." "The nicestin theStateof New Jersey," said Ward, "and you'd better hold on to it. It's getting better and better evory day." couldn't exactly understand what all this bad to do with the Supreme Bench, for up to this time I bad not beard Mr. Bradley named so I asked what the connection was. "Oh, ithasad sight to do with It," said the exasperated Radical.

"Ward has come on here to get Bradley, of New Jersey, appointed, and I infer from tbe way thoy were talking tbat he has succeeded," The next day Bradley's nomination was sent to the Senate, and meeting my Republican friend in tbe Senate lobby, I reminded him of our talk ou tbe avenue, and said he was right in his guess about the object and success of Ward's visit. "Of course I wag," said he, "and I wish you'd expose thji thing." "I'll do it," said "but it won't do any good. One-half the people in the Republican party have determined to believenotbiug injurious to Grant, and the oilier half are always ready to be persuaded that what would be crime in another President, ia a virtue in Grant," Prom the Wmhingtnn Correspondence of the Cincinnati Inquirer. a Washington lobby, immediate nsvment to real estate alone reaches almost one ml ni years citizenship?

Against my Inclination, but intlueo fd by the ureucy linn dollars, The are facta whkh no men relieving iusunerer9.jVomm7 J'atnot. stitution should be upheld in this particular, that there was a difference between real and apparent balances of somtimtis two awl dacity can wipe out Messrs. Johnston and Ames of Crawford in its favor. On the motion to Indefinitely postpone its consideration the yeas were 65 and the nays 27 so the bill Is dead for the present session.

It is an old offender, having fir)t made Its appearance here during the session of IS 18, and having been almost constantly agitated from then up to the present. The General Appropriation Bill occupied the attention chiefly, of the House during the aeasiona of Thursday and Frldtiy. Pending ils consideration on Friday, a motion to raise tb salary of the Judges of the Supreme Court was defeated. Th yearly salary of these officers is now $3500, and it was proposed to incresi it to $7000. The friends of this proposed increase contended tbat tbe present salary was wholely inadequate to compensate these Judge for their labors and tbat the service of any one of tbem would in tbe practice of their profession command twice tbat amount.

Taking all tbe fact into consideration the great expense of living, tha eminent qualification of these gentlemen, and the arduous labors they are compelled to perform, it does seem as though th House had done itself little credit by voting down this proposition. In the Senate on Thursday tbe State Treasury bill waa under consideration. On motion of Mr. Butan, the bill waa amended ao a to allow the Treasurer a salary of pm instead of $S000, also to strike out tbe provision requiring him to reside at Har-risburg. Tb Senate adjourned before th bill waa disposed of.

It is not at ail likely any sort of a bill will be agreed upon by the two Houkea this session. Mr. Duncan offered a bill on Wednesday for tb better protection from injury by telegraph companies of ornamental, sbadeand fruit tree. Tbi bill was offered at tbesug-geatiott of parties in your county, who trees have been injured in this manner. On motion of Capt, Skinnor, a bill extending tbe time for th commencement and completion of the Mont Alto Furnac Railroad, was taken np ami passed by the Houm) ou Tnursday, under a suspension of the Bulea.

The Committee appointed at tbe beginning of tbe session to inveatigat th affairs of the State Treasury Department, have been making some startling developeinent. On Thuraday evening they bad chief clerk Nicholson OB tb stand, who teetitled that every dollar in th State Treasury, and a million and a half In addition, belonged to th Sinking Euud, aud that the large appropriations for soldiers' orphans and common schoola had eaten into thia fuud. This how conclusively how tb Radical party has bxeii managing lb finance of tit State. By robbing th Sinking Fund they managed during the Inst election to show a prosperou condition in the affairs of th Htati. when all the wull they were drawing for the purpose of defray ing th expenses of government, up a lund, which tbey are expressly prohibited by law from touching in thia manner.

The law under which theSinking Fund was created, provides that all monies coming Into it shall be devoted to payment of Interest on, and reduction of, the publics debt. Tbi Cuinmitn-e ia in arneM and means to snow up all the corrupt practices of thia branch of the government. We may look for much of an even more startling nature. Th Diamond-Watt Committee is mttkltig slow progress. The Radicals are playing (be old game of sweir-ing repeater and then aaklng the Committee to believ that they voted the Democratic ticket, when each of the perjured villains has been guilty of voting a dozen time for tb Radical candidal.

This tittle dodge was aueeeasfully played In tha Bunn William can last winter. As Diamond's case now stands he bas aclfsrmsjority, but, depend upon it, tb Slavioa, Lamb and Red-dinga, who did the dirty work last year, wilt give enough of perjured testimony to cheat him out of th seat to which be is ao justly entitled. Th "Border Claims Bill" has not yet been reported from Committee. It 1 un-deratood that I bona having it in charge, are making aom important modifications in the features of It, so as to secure for it the approval of certain influential parties. Notwithstanding tb bitter attack of th Pitta-burg and Philadelphia papers, tb movement to pay (bene claims has many sympathizer, as will be shown, when th proposition comes to be voted upon.

It is hard for us here to understand the count of the Philadelphia papers in reference to this bill. These papers hav generally heretofore been friendly in tbeir tone. It may be that they dislike tb bill In tbeshape in which it was originally intended to pass It, and that tb modification now being made wilt hav tb effect of changing tbeir views ia Che matter, Tb course of tb Pittsburg paper can be easily explained. They are interested in th Erie Canal Extension scheme, and are afraid tbat thia bill, if passed, wilt lay hold on certain monies or bonds, which they desire to get possession of. To ward off th possibility of any such thing, they have raised this great hue and cry about "thieve and robbers," "Millions for tbe Border Counties," "th greatest swindle of tb season," ttc It might be well enough for these gentlemen to recollect that those whom they now brand a "thieve and robbers" oueday not long in th pan stood up to defend tbeir ungrateful city, against the same vandal hordes, from whoa depredation are now seeking relief.

When years ago a portion of Pittsburg was ao unfortunate as to be destroyed by a conflagration, the legislature of Pennsylvania made an appropriation for the relief of the sufferers, aud the people of th Border Couuties said j7 tione. Their case was different too from ours. Tbeir loss was Ibe result of accident and found relief from Insurance Companies, Ours was the result of invasion at the bauds of a conituou enemy, and is one of thos cases where Indemnity can not be reached except through th law-making power of tbe Slate.

A tbi is lb first time since tbe depreciation of our currency first began that government securities of any kind hav commanded tb same price aa gold, tb day deserve to be remembered. Tbe upward tendency in American bonds, both at home and abroad, shows that the resumption of specie payments could be reached at no distant day, had our legislatora any of finance or any desire to better our financial condition.

It is perlectly evident, however, from the recent action of Congress, that th Rcpubllcau party doe not intend to take a single step towards resumption, but prefer to make matters worse than they are by a further increase of the volume of currency. It should not be forgotten that gold need not sink lower than five or six per cent, premium in order to render resumption practicable aud easy, The premium on silver is about live per cent, less than that of gold, and when gold reaches 1U5, the surplus ailver of Canada, and the hoard of sliver In tbe possession of our banks and private citizsns, will be at once brought into circulation.
