THE FREEMAN. EBEXSDURQ, PA., Thdhsday, : : : : Jak. 14, 1869. John Covode and the Catholic Church, Until within a very recent perixl the gov ernment of the United States has maintained a Minister at the city of Rome. We remem-l-er that a son of the late Grmmodore Stock too, of New Jersey, and General King, of Wisconsin, rspectively held that position. About two years ago, or perhaps less, the Radicals in Congress, on some trifling pre text, refused to make the usual appropria tion to pay the Minister, and as a conse quence the office ceased to exist. On Ved nelay, the 6th instant, when the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill was before the Ilouse of Representatives, the following interesting debate occurred : The consular and diplomatic appropriation bill was then taken up Mr. Buooes moved as nn Amendment to Insert an appropriation for the m?sM'n to Home, and expressed his hnpe that, the Presidential election beinjj over, and reli gious and political passions being all at ..n end, Ooiigrp would vote the usual appropriation dri nvssion to Rome. The city wm the head quarters of art and the headquarter of one of tlie lire-.tt branches of the Christian Church, aud was visited yearly by thousands aud tens of tuouiandt of American citizens. Mr Covodk opt oscd the amendment and said hi desired to call the attention of ihe House to pome of the d mpeis connected with the Church of Rome. That Church had been used in his own district as an element of power by the Dem ocratic party, in disregard of the election laws. Tlie Catholic school in his district was the place where fraudulent voters from other Srate had ben congregated, and it was the peoule of that Church who used fraudulent naturalization pa per. These papers, signed bv J. Ross Snow den, Clerk of the Supreme Court of Rennsyl vnni. bad been ent into his district in blank, and had been filled up with tlie names of per sons who had not been iu the country five years There wrg not one Protestant involved in it. They were all Catholics from beginning to end. Mr. Woodward said that if his colleague chose to charge the Church of Home ith suc-h j radices, it was due to a large body of respect able citizens and to the House that he should produce the proof. The only individual whom his colleague hail ppe-ified by name was a mem ber of the Presbyerian Church. Mr. CovoriE. I said that fraudulent natural izition papers were used exclusively by the nienibeis of the Church of Ro tie. Mr. Woodward. I uimply said that the in dividual to whom my'colleague alluded ns hav ing issued fraudulent naturalisation papers, is a member, and, I believe, a deacon in good standing in the Presbyterian Ciurch, is a man of the highest honor and intelligence, and any ruch assenion against him would be treated as idle, if not planaerous, in Pennsylvania. The defeat of his colleague last fall was not the r OMsequence of any such rascality, bu was to be acrouiitert for on other principles than the drgradation of the Church of Rome or of the Presbyterian Cleik of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Mr. Covode said he had alluded to the per sons who had uod those fraudulent certificates. Mr. Woodward. What had the Church of Rome to do with it? Mr. CovofE. It was the members of the Church of Rome who voted on these fraudu lnt papers. No Protestant was engaged in it. Mr. WooDwaan You began by charging that the Church of Rome did this fraud. Mr. Covook. I say it was the members of that Chinch that used the papers. They came coffee stained from the gentleman's district, nnd were voted on by those "green Irish." Laughter J As Sqneors was wont to exclaim, "There's richness for you !" The hraz?n impudence of John Covode has passed into a proverb, and does not astonish tboso who know him. In that respect none but himself can be his parallel. That the Catholic Church, as a Church, labored for the defeat of the "Alli t?atjr," is simply preposterous. John 0 Tode does not stand very high in the estima tion of his own party. Nor should he, po litical mountebank a3 he is confessed to be. It Is a notorious- fact that in every election district in Lis own county (Westmoreland) he ran behind his ticket. When, in addition to this, it is stated that with the exception of two or th reo localities, there are but few persons of the Catholic faith in Westmore land county, Covrtde's elaaders carry with their own refutation. If any fraudulent nat uralization papers bearing the signature of James Ross Snowiien were sent into West morcland county, thry were manufactured and eent there by Covode's own political friends in Philadelphia. We can very well underbtJud, however, why every Irishman, whether "green' or otherwise, did and ought to vote against Covode. In 1854 he was the head and front of the Know-Nothing organ zition in his own county, and was elected to Cong ress by that godless faction. lie had taken an oath to prescribe and persecute all foreigners, and especially all Catholics Does he suppose that the men whom he then proposed to ostracise and to "send to Coven try," have forgotten all abort his loving kindness towards them? An old Spanish proverb says that "young chickens will come borne to roo-.t." If they have done so in this instance it is a just retribution, and is simply the return stroke of the political boomerang. In view of John Covode's Know-Nothing an tecedents, to say nothing of his stolid igno rance, the Irishman who would vote for him for Congress, or even for township constable, (an office on a perfect level with his capaci ty.) would be mean enough to swear by Castlereagh and dishonor the graves of Grat tan and O'Connell. Hon. Cyrus I. Pershing. The name of this gentleman has been men tioned in different portions cf the State in connection with the Democratic nomination for Governor or for a position on the Supreme Bench. It is agreed on all hands that he would adorn either position, and his nomi nation for either office would insure us a competentand popular candidate, and, at the earae time be a recognition of the claims of Cambria county upon the Democratic p "ty- As, however, Mr. PERsnisa is not only a good lawyer, but something more than a law yer, a statesman, we suggest that bis name i-hould be used in connection with the Guber nato ial nomination. His well known repu tation for ability and high-minded integrity would leave the "bumbugest" Governor far la fe shade, and secure our success in the next canvass.

Geary, after speaking of the re sults or the late civil war at borne, thus al ludes to its wonderful effects abroad : "Hardly less magical has been the effect up on other nations. General Grant's election has confirmed the hopes of our nation's friends and the fears of i s loes in the Old World. It sup plements and seals the verdict of arnn and the progress of republican principles. The down fall of the Rebellion in the United States was quickly Jollowed by the reat civil revolution in England; the peaceful expulsion of the last of the Bourbons in Spain; the unrest of Cuba; the concession of more liberal principles in Ger many, and the necessw.ry acquiscence of the Emperor of the Freuch in the republican senti ments he fears eveu as he has betrayed them. What are these but the echoes of the dire ca tastrophe that has overwhelmed the aiistocracy of the United States?" If Geary was ever mspected of being the author of his own messages such far fetched conclusions as the foregoing would not cause any surprise. Dut that the man who does write them could pub'iah such nonsense aud twaddie is beyond comprehension. The re bellion collapsed in April, 1865 three years and nine months ago. What "great cicil revolution in England " quickly followed that event, as he declares, is not very apparent. Under the late Reform bill, passed only a few months ago, some men now vote in Eng land who never voted before. This is the extent of the "great civil revolution" in that country, aud no more, save that one set of politicians went out of office and another set went in. But there was no revolution, nor anything like it. There was a revolution in Spain in September last about three years and five months after the ciose of our lebel lion. But there the effect was too remote from the cause. Besides, he who does not know that the revolution in Spain was the logical result of long existing grievances is not very familiar with the history of that country for the la&t fifteen years. Although Queen Isabella was expelled from the throne the indications now are that the monarchy will be re-established with some military chieftain at its head. That would not be saying very much for the effect of our late "unpleasantness" on the democracy of Spain. Freci3ftly what is meant by the "necessary acquiescence of the Emperor of the French in republican sentiments" is painfully obscure. The French people have failed thus far to "see it," although it is as clear as mud to the active intellect of Pennsylvania's "Chev alier Bayard." Geary might, with as much wisdom, attribute the recent magnificent eruption of Mount Vesuvius, or the late ter rible earthquakes in South America, to the moral effects of the rebellion as to claim for in for it in Europe results which originated from other and entirely different camcs. The following extract from the same mes sage, but on a different subject, h worthy of reflection. After urging the passage of an other Registry law which the Supreme Court cannot pronounce unconstitutional, the fol lowing tub is thrown out to the Radical whale : "Every proper facility for the natural izition of citizens of foreign birth should be afforded; but the Legislature, in its combined wisdom, can surely enact some mode to prevent the pos sibility of a single vote being c.tst upon spuri ous naturalization papers, and thus fully secure the purity of the elective firuchise." When Genry read this passage in the mes sage prepared for him, and when his thoughts reverted back to an incident which occurred at the election in Washington township, in this county, in 1844, and in which he was a prominent actor, we wondered whether he did not feel as though he was unconsciou?!y passing judgment upon himself. 'Peace and Good 1YJII!" The eighteen hundred and sixty-ninth an niversary of the birth of the Redcimcrof the world was signalized by an act of clemency on the part of the President of tho United States which must meet the hearty approba tion of every Christian man in the land. From that day forward no man is liable to lose his Ufa or his liberty because of any po iitical offence of the past. A general am nesty prevails in every case of such offence. While every criminal act is punishable still, all political crimes are buried in oblivion for ever. We care not that this act of administra tive humanity and statesmanship may have resulted from the persistent efforts of Horace Greehyand other Radical pbila nthropist J We are as willing to accord prabe to them as to any other. We applaud the act with out inquiring what men or what motives dictated it. Neither do we care that Gen. Grant's accession to power would have been immortalized by the same act. We simply rejoice that it is done. Nor do we feel envious that the Democrats had no fcbare in the choice of the administra tion by which this thing was dore. On the contrary, we compliment our Radical friends on their increasing and progressive liberality, aud doubt not that ere the termination of Gen. Grant's term of office the position of the white maa will be nearly as favorable as that of the negro. Hon. Daniel J. Dlorrell. We see Mr. Morrell's name mentioned . in connectiou witb the Radical nomination for Governor. Mr. Morrell has some talent and a great deal of money which latter is a leading Radical qualification for office and would, in ordinary times, make a vigorous how for the nomination. But Geary has the pins set already, and although the more respectable portion of the party squirm un der the idea of continuing bis itflbecile ad ministration another term, his re-nominina-tion is just as certain as the assembling of their Convention and his defeat just assure if a good man is placed in nomination by the Democracy. Thi palm of superiority is awarded t.i Mrs. S. A.Allen for her improved (new style") Hair Restorer or Dressing, (in one bottle,) and a grateful public appreciates tlie very lew price. On Dollar.

There are great and growing complaints about the management of tho IudiaD Bu reau, and a ttro:ig effrt is pending to change it from the Department of the Inte rior of the War Depart lurtit. On dit, that Geu. Grant dc-ires t!.e change, auJ will sug "ost it in bis message. The Atnucsty Proclamation was also de bated, the question being whether a gener al pardon would include all rebel offenders those who denied the proposition, urging that the pardon is only effective when grant ed to persons by name. The Supreme Court seem to have he'd iu the Miiiigau case that this is not necessary.. Senator Pomroy, of Kansas, is urging his Constitutional amendment conferring suf frage upon women aud its fate will be de cided in a fw days, iu all probability. Washington city presents to a stranger the appcarar.ee of a national marble yard ; but the end is not jet. Cr ngressman Geo. F.

Another Radical attempt to rob the people through pariizm contractors. No such building is need d. Menard, the negro member of Congress from Louisiana, faded the get his heat, ran out of fundi1, and, was, it is said sent home at the expense of the Freedman's Bureau. On Wetnesday Senator Sherman, of Ohio, made a speech urging the proposition of the construction of three air line rail roads from the Federal city, one to New York, anoth er to Pittsburg, and a third to Cincinnati That Congress has no Constitutional right to construct such roads seems clear enough to the most ordinary rnind, but radicals don't care for thai. But, even on the v-core of self-preservation, it seems to tne Congress, wlii vote down all such projects. It would enable the general government to ruin any of our railroads or canals at their pleasure. The leading railroad companies are all pro testing against the measure, and it is fortu nate for your State that she has a Senator, in prospect, like John Scott. Ksq., who will stand up as the prople's champion against the corruptions of such legislation. The sensation in the House was the speech of Washburn?, of Illinois, the heir pref-.ump-tive to the prcmier;-liip of the incoming ad ministration. He deit blows iijht r.nd left to the Radicals denounced the past ex travagance and recklessness of Congress, and iu.-isted upon a Radical reformation. Senator Edmunds' bill, prohibiting the holding of civil portions by military ap poitters, was taken up en bis motion ou Thursday.

Si!f rid;t Ciiief Clerk, K. G. Lee As.-istaut Cit rk. and John A, Sroull llesioent C:eik. The usual number ff Transcribing Clerks, Door Keep rs arl laters and Folders were elect ed. Among the latter was one Zcba Scott, an ex-rnemb'T t f the Legislature. Zi'oa is not one of those aspirhig irdivi luals who having condescended to serve the people as legi.-Jator, looks to something higher, but H one of these plain, good-natured, corpulent, homely bummers who always have an t ye to tho stamps. On the passage of the resolu tion electing these officers. Mr. Brown, CDem.) of Clarion, moved to amend, by striking out the name of Z-.ba Lott, and in serting the name of Ge'org. Sehindler. a oue Ieged soldier, who was recennmended by hi.-. Excellency the Governor aud the Heads of Departments Generally, but as the ser vices of the unhappy Ijott. (he is happy now,) were to be rewarded, the amendment was defeated by a strict party vote, the sol diers' friends ( before the election) voting no. and the Democrats voting aye. Tne great question as to who shall succeed Mr. Buckalew in the U. S. Senate has been finally settled (if not to the satisfaction of every body, at least to the more conserva tive Republicans ot the Commonwealth) by the nomination by the Radicals of Hon. John Scotl, of Huntingdon. Mr. Scott, I thiak, is the least objectionable to the De mocracy of any man named before the Radi cal caucus. The present State Treasurer was left out in thu cold, and Robert W. Mackey, of P ttsburg. nominated for that position. Itppublic8 are ungrateful as Irvin, Moorl,..,!. Marshall, Grow, and others will no doubt testify. The seat of Hon. David Witham, r f the Eleventh Philadelphia district, has been con tested. The contestant is Fupposed to Vc a connection of the celebrated Iott family, from the determined effort he is making to get into the House ooutrary to the will of the people. Both Houses adjourned on Wed nesday last until next Tuesday. The rdty has been quite dull for the past few day?, most of the Legislators and others coming here for political or other reasons having gone home. H. A Strange Stoby. A writer in the Washington Evening Express says, that shortly after the breaking off of an tffart to avert the dire catastrophe of war, a gentle men who bail free access to the private office of PresiJent Lincoln repaired to the capital of S uth Carolina and deposited with a high official of that State a manuscript proclama tion of President Lincoln, duly prepared and ready for his signature, announcing to the American people that, rather than plunge the country iuto civil war, the Executive Government of the United States acquiesced in the dismemberment of the Union. With this was a column editorial, in slip form, with corrections, supposed to be Mr. Lin coln's, reciting freely the words of the instru ment, vindicating the Executive act. and challenging for itjthe approval of the Ameri can people. It is claimed that the reason it was not issued was the intense feeling caused by the firing on Fort Sumter. We have no doubt that had not the people responded as they did to the President's proclamation calling for seventy-five thousand volunteers, immediately after the firing on Fort Sumter, the South would have been allowed to with draw from the Union and set up for itself. That Sumter affair always seemed to us a made-up case to try the temper of the North ern peojde. Wm. Henry CaTBwell, the murderer of the little girl. Abby Sauuders, near Camden, 5t P11' 'a6t'wa aUDe 0U Saturday at Rome, Tlie Rochester Catastrophe. From (he Jtochcsier Chronicle, Jan. t. It is with the saddest feelings that we find ourselves called upon to relate the particu lars of a mobt appalling accident, which oc curred last night about a quarter past nine o'clock, at the school house of St. Peter's and Paul's Church, on Maple street. An Epi phany festival and conceit w6 being held there for the benefit of the school, and with out any warniug a portion of the second floor, about twenty five feet in length by forty in width, fell with a crash to the floor beneath. A scene cf the wildest excitement occurred. Many in their excitement, jtrmped from the windows, and from every door and means of escape the occupants of the build ing poured out, as if to escape impending danger. It was estimated that there were fifteen hundred people in the assemblage. At the time of the accident there was quite a large audience on the floor that fell, listening to the music. Upon the floor below, or first floor, the tables were spread, and upon that portion which received most of the falling mass, a number of ladies were engaged in washing dishes : but, fortunately, the ends of the joints hung to the wall sv.flielsntly to form a protection, and most tf them escaped uuharmed. Eight persons were killed outright, as follows: Bernard Dunner and wife, Emma Reese, aged 14 years; George Topp, aged about 60 years ; Mrs. Bartlemay Sperl. Mag gio Weis. aged about 14 years ; Kate Law rence, aged about 15 years; Mrs. George Rinck. The above are the names of the persons who were killed outright. There were three orjfour dangerously, and it is thought fatally, injured. The wounded are : David C. Way, concussion of the spine and other injuries, and his chances for recovery are extremely doubtful ; John Fel.-inger, a boy, had his leg hurt and sustained inj-nies in the neck, not dangerous ; Mrs. Mehle. leg bruised. A little daughter of Mi hael Wolf was quite severely irjured and was reported dead, but it is thought she will recover. Peter Fuchs anil Catharine, his wife, were injured, the latter so dangerously that it is thought she will die. Catharine Begy was slightly hurt and con veyed to her home. Mrs. George Nagle was severely stunned, and it is feared sustained internal injuries. Mary Smith, wounded in the head and leg. A girl living on Brown street, whose name was not learned, had her shoulder dislocated. Lena Ileisel was slight ly iirt. A sister of Augusta Kocth was thrown down and a man ncciltlly step, ped on her breast. She was assisted home, but is not seriously ir jured. Mrs. Hennican received internal injures. She is danger ously hurt. Julia Hook was slightly hurt. Mrs. Waddle was elightly hurt. Joseph Haurigs had his arm bruised aud received a severe ontusion of the right eye. Kate White had a leg hurt. A number of others received slight injuries and made their way to their respective homes. A most agonizing scene was caused by the frantic demonstrations ef John Wells, whose little daughter was killed. This unfortunate man bail a darghter burned up in his dwell irg a few years ago. George Popp was the only person that we can ascertain was killed ou the fl xr beneath the falbr.g debris. He was carving some meats when the accident occurred. The deadand wounded were conveyed to the neighboring bouses. Six dead bodies were ling at. tlie residence of Rev. Father F. H. St. C'air, adj .imng. Several of the w uuded wrre also carried into the same house. The bodies of Emma Reese and Mrs. Spcrl were convoyed ti the honse cf John Uerber, oppewlte. ThTe plenty of willing hands to assist, and everything that ccuM be done to al'eviate their suffering was at tended to. The alarm of fire last evening originated from the accident, and Mayor Fiah, who lives at hand, hurried down town with the news and sent messengers after physicians, a large number of whom arrived early en the ground. The first question asked was, "What caused the accident?" and as we made a very thorough examination we shall giveour answer. If in so doing the responsibility falls upon any one we cannot be censured. The building is of brick, three stories high, and is about as large as the largest of our public schools. The first fl or is supported by bi iek piers sixteen inches squire Above these are iron columns sustaining the flx)rs above. The cause of the giving way of the floor was the crumbling of one of these light piers, a portion of the brick of which it was composed being soft and calculated to yield to the pre.-sure of the superstructure, aug mented by the weight erf people on the flr. The piers were capped with blocks of Lockport stone, and iu every other particu lar the structure is as strong as c uld be elesired. That the piers we're insufficient for the weight is conclusively established by this accident. It is altogether probable that had the accident not occurred the majority of builders would hnve estimated that they were strong euough. The structure is not a year old. A man named Joseph Gse was burned to death in Middleburg township, Tioga couotv, some time since, bv rushing into the flames of his burning nouse to recover tMnC papers. In a cave at Rock Island, 111., a statue of an Indian maiden, of serlid copper, on a pedestal seven feet high, on sn obelisk of solid brass, and other Indian curiosities, have been discovered. Taylor Pyle, of Chester county, grew the Poland oats last year. Three acres of bis field, the Village Record eays, produced sixty-five bushels to the acre, an 1 tho whole field averaged fifty bushels to the acre. Twenty-nine women in Indianapolis have petitioned the city council for an ap propriation of money to aid them in leaving the city, and going to distant places, where their character is unknown. They declare their intention to reform. At a sale of cows and heifars in Buck, County, Pennsylvania, last week, twenty animals, ranging from three to ten years elds brought the sum of $1.998 within a trifle of Si 00 per head. An Alderney heifer, three years old, sold for $280, and another, five months old, for $100. Two prize flags have been awarded to the townships of Northampton and Newton, Pennsylvania, the former giving the largest increased Democratic majority in October over that of 1864, and the latter the largest in the late Presidential election over the vote on the October State ticket. It is reported that Surratt has in course of preparation for the press a complete his tory of his wanderings during his efforts to avoid the Government detectives and escape arrest, and that he will divulge every thing be knows bearing in any way upon tho par ties concerned in the assassination. It is reported that the murderers of Martin and his two filters, who were mur dered, robbed and burned at their home, in Columbia, S. C. a few weeks ago. were taken from the ji! at Appling, and lynched. A white man named Anderson Upton, and three negroes-, who composed the party, con fessed to having ronrdered Martin and his sisters, and subsequently burned the house in ordr to oovr their guilt. A sleeping coach attached to a mail train on the Paa Handle Railroad, was pre cipitated over a precipice sixty feet high, near Nimick's station, on Tuesday morning, and three men were killed and four iniared. The giving away of the earth under the ties, in consequence of the rains was; the cause. The Legislature of Ohio has passed a law requiring every broker or banker in that State to mark er stamp every counterfeit, worthless or altered bank note that may come into his possession, under penalty of a fine of from fifty to one hundred dollars. -A formidable gang of horse thieves has, for the past ten years, iufested the counties of Carbon, LuZcrne, Monroe, Northampton, Schuylkill, Bucks, Berks and Lehigh. Nineteen of the gang have been recently ar rested, and the combination broken up. Roth, a leadei of the gang, was a livery sta ble keeper in Hazelton. The vigilance of a Reading policeman led to the detection of Rjth and his comrades. The eieht persons who Were killed in Rochester, N. Y.. a day or two since, by the giving way of a floor in a school-room, were buried with but one funeral service, and that was held at the Catholic Church to which the school was attached. Fifty persons in all were injured. The Coroner's inquost estab lished the fact that the accident was iu con seejuence (.it an undersized cap having been placed upon the column supporting the floor. A wonderful lop has been invented iu Lenon, Massachusetts. It will spin half an hour or more ; make marbles, money, and other objects spin around it, like satellites; it will make colored and gilt parer, slk or ribbons assume the appearance of glass gob lets, spiral rings painted on circular paper and attached to the top, picsents the ap pearance of beautiful circles ; finally it will carry another top on its shoulders, spinning with itself, at full speed. This last ''Yankee notion" is called the "Lenon Top." The Bed fon 1 Inquirer makes a Purly growl over the election of John Scott. The Inquirer hays : Mr. Scott is a good man in mny waj-s. but there are to our rnind grave objections to him. We want no entangling alliances with monopolies, andjhe is one of the leading attomies of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad. We want a thorough-going pro tectionist, and he has been a life-long demo crat and as such a free-trader ; his connection with the republican party being brought about by the rebellion. These are most seri ous objections, and we hop they will be carefully considered before the day arrives for the election. J n O S P E C T u s . 1869: "TE ages 1889. "THEJGE."
