ZIMMERMAN.) THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1871. Frank P. Hendricks has withdrawn from the Pottsville Standard, leaving Frank Burr sole proprietor. As intimated iu our telegraphic reports yesterday that it would Gladstone has been re elected by a small majority. The ZNTew York Tribune, a few days ago, stated that it had in its possession authentic papers which, if made public, would criminate several high officials at Washington.

It now delares that those papers are forgeries. So much for that. The rumors alleging that Senator Cameron is trying to get Attorney General Williams out of the Cabinet are purely imaginary, and their origin can be traced to the political enemies of Snator Cameron, who have some hidden motive iu thus putting forth false in rear. "Exactly," re sponds me ocranton Republican, "if tnereisany pillaging to be doueMc Clurewill always be found in the ad. vance tne Tear' is no place for him i booty is ah ead 'li i oniy steal so far proposed in the state teenate was the bill giving each Senator a Purdon's Digest at an expense of Sl to the State for each volume.

Aleck McC'lure voted for it, and yet we are told by Forney's Press that he is the only honest mm iu the body. 'By their fruits ye shall know ins now pretty well settled that i omey's Press is the only Democratic newspaper in Philadelphia. Aside from the fact that one of the orators at the democratic Convention that nominated McCIure declared it to be so, the Republican papers of the Slate, with siugulur larly unanimity.uniteinthedeclaration. The Franklin Saving Fund Society, of Philadelphia, has, for the second time, collapsed, we believe the other suspension occurring in ia57 or 1858 I though on this occasion, after a little time, they paid their depositors. Now, as then, it is the custodian of the savings of the working people and whether tney will be eventuallypaid, or not, the suspension will no doubt cause Buffer ing to the depositor The Scran ton Republican and tho Scranton Times, have adopted a novel mode of ascertaing which paper has the largest circulation in that city.

They cannot believe one another under oath, and so the Times proposes that "twelve competent men be mutually aud irrmnr. tially chosen by the two papers jointly, and that these canvass the city thoroughly, the paper found to have the least number of paying subscribers to near the expense of the investigation. 4The Republican accepts the challenge and suggests that each paper put up So00, the stakes of the losing party to go to such charitable institutions as an umpire may designate. The utter unreliability of correspondents is strikingly ilhiBtrn uy me nat contradictious the facts wnen tney appear give to their asser ur surmises in regard to affairs of government. On Monday, for instance, v.u lua luiormation from one of tnem "The monthly debt statement Deout late to morrow, and will probably show an increase of three mil hob or dollars." The monthly debt statement is now officially printed, and instead of an "increase of three million," we find a decrease of nearly two million; a little mistake of nearly five millions on the part of the sagacious correspondent.

Such mistakes, the result of mere guess work, or what is nearer the truth, such wilful perversions of iruiu, ore unpardonable. No correspondent has a right to guess at the sentiments of public men, or surmise what will be the action of government upon any question or the results of departmental management. 8uch matters should never be published without official sanction, or at least reliable Infor Enlarging the State Capitol. In tho proceedings of the House of Representatives at Harrisburg last week appeared a report of the introduction of a resolution relative to an extension of the Representatives' hall in the State Capitol building and appointing a committee to report upon the subject. This extension is made necessary by the enlarging of the House of Representatives under tho new Constitution to double its present number, and the enlargement contemplated it is thought will cost $150,000.

It is to be hoped in this matter that the extensive "deficiency" experiences of other Commonwealths who have indulged iu enlargements or renewals of their State Capitol buildings may not be repeated here. In. this connection the Philadelphia Ledger remarks that it is interesting to examine the records of the original expend'tures upon our State Capitol, which was in the main very economically constructed. Four acre. of the laud on which the State buildings stand were a donation from John Harris, the founder of the city.

Subsequently ten acres and five lots adjoining were bought by the State for $2100, a small portion of this land being sold in 1828 for $412. Thus.it will be seen that tho original tract of land only cost the State $1688. The construction of the Capitol buildings cost $135,000, the corner stone belaid iu 1S19, and the first Legislature meeting in it in 1822. In the executive offices, east and west of the Capitol, $03,000 were expended $12,000 for the arsenal $35,000 for the enclosure and embellishment of tho public grounds, and $15,000 for the furnishing of the Capitol. Thus, the original expenditure for land, buildings and everything else connected with the capttol aud executive offices was but $291,088.

Some years ago the State Library building was added, at a cost of $80,000. When the corner stone of the Capitol was laid by Governor Findlay, in 1819, he broke his mallet in performing the ceremonies. which was considered by many a bad omen. If the Legislature and those having charge of the proposed exten siou imitate the evident economy of the original costruction of the building, the public now will have no cause to com plain. Encouraging Outlook.

From present appearances the pros pects ahead for the current year, are of a favorablo and encouraging character throughout the anthracite coal fields The dark cloud that a month ago ap peared threateningly upon the horizon in the shape of a rupture between labor aud capital, has shown its silver lining, and from Schuylkill to Carbondale, an amicable understanding has been arriv ed at between man and master. strike is entirely out of the question the basis of 1S73 has been adopted by the Philadelphia Heading and other companies that may be classed in the give eviucuce oi a good ieeling existm Detween themselves and their employ ees, and we understand that tho Lauka wanna Iron and Coal Company wil' re sume cash payments within the presen mouth. The entente cordiale between the companies is such as to warrant the belief that the people will be spared those spasmodic fluctuations that from time to time tend to clog the wheels of progress, aud that so frequently give rise to strikes, and much consequent misery. On the whole, the prospects ahead for 1874 are much brighter m.d more encouraging at present than they nave been lor some tunc past. State Elections.

The first State election for 187 1 will be that of New Hampshire, on Tuesday the 10th of March, and the next will be that of Connecticut, on Monday, the 6th of April. Both these States are so close ly divided between the Republicans and the Democrats that the slightest disturbance to the disadvantage of the Repub licans gives the victory in a Stuto contest to the other side. In New Hampshire tho Republicans have chosen a granger and a farmer ps their candidate for Governor. The Republicans of Con necticut have not yet held their convert lion. I he Connecticut Democrnfin State Convention was held at New Haven last Tuesday, when the present nuuu oiucers were re nominated.

A Liberal Republican presided over the Democratic Convention. It may be set down as nrettv sure that Republicans everywhere will, as a iron eral thing, go with the Democrats.

Uold Oaiublliiff Laura 1. Fair makes 973,000. From our own Correspondent. San Francisco, 1 January 24, 1874. THE GRANGERS 1 of California have a well organized society, and are making strenuous efforts to break up all monopolies that attempt to keep the farmer below the level.

They have appointed a member of the society a regular consignee for their freights, who is to report upon the condition of the markets, and make all sales practically to advantage. They also have in view the fitting out of a regular grain boat, to run by steam from the head of navigation down tho Sacramento and San Joaquin river, thus avoiding the heavy freight rates of the monopoly boats. The irrigation of several adjoining counties is also receiving a share of their consideration. TIES KNOTTED AND SCNDf.BED. During the past twelve months the County Clerk issued two thousand marriago licenses.

In the same period two hundred and fifty three decrees of divorce were rendered in the District Courts of this city. From tins statement it will appear that the rate of divorces to marriages stands about one to eight. The easiest running divorce mill in San Francisco is the Nineteenth District Court. It has gained this distinction by grinding coarsely, but rapidly. THE PACIFIC MAIL STEAMSHIP COMPANY.

Co. brs to be docked and repaired before leaving. This week the China is in the large dry dock at Hunter's Point. These vessels do not discharge cargo at San Francisco of late, but merely make it a "port of cell," running through direct to Panama to discharge, on account of a fight termed "life or death" between the Company and the Pacific railroad, ip regard to freights and fares. It is high time that this grinding monopoly is crushed out ef existence, for all the good the Company has done to America has been trebly repaid by heavy subsidies.

The last one of $500,000 is forfeited. Although against Yankee principles seethe American flag usurped by the English rod, especially on the high sers, yet, where it is to better the condition of matters, we will not be so short sighted as not to see our advantages, ior it is a difficult question to determine which is the greater evil, to put to sea in an nnseaworthy ship, or to be at sea in a seaworthy ship manned by an unseaworthy crew. These English beats are compelled by the laws of the country in which the Company is incorporat 1 to make fair schedule time, under heavy penalties. The Pacific mail boats are alwaysoverdue, and come into port nine, ten, and as high as thirteen days past standard time. The result is, a heavy loss accrues to the consignees, and it is a souree of great anxiety to those having friends aboard.

This week the new England iron screw steamship McGregor is expect to arrive rail Australia, and in a short time the Vaeco de Gama of the new English line between San Francisco and China, will arrive.
