TFF. Democrats of the State Senate
lastrist*lcave a specimen of sharp prac
tice- in the matter of contested elections,
which may become a dangerous piece: :
dent. A petition was presented, on be
half of Mr. Tyndal, contesting the seat
of Mr. Dechert, the Senator elect „trim
the Ist Philadelphia district. The Con
stitution provides the machinery for
drawing Committees in such cases,
within ten days after filing of the peti
tion. The Committee being sworn, take
charge of the case judicially, and their
decision is final. The entire provision
is intended to take contested elections,
as far as possible, out of the domain of
partisanship, and to prevent a partisan
majority from dealing factiously with
them.
The Democratic majority in the Sen
ate, not being willing to trust the case
to a sworn Committee selected in the
mode provided by the Constitution, re
sorted to a new dodge. They raised a
special Committee to examine 'the peti
✓ tion and report WHETHER A CONTEST
SHOULD BE ALLOWED! This, in fact,
is trying the case by an unworn • Com
mittee, in violation of law, and is essen
tially a revolutionary right, fraught
with dangerous precedent. If a politiiml
majority can thus smother investiga
tion at pleasure, there is an end of all
judicial contests, and the baldest claim
to a seat can be maintained, in defiauce
of right and law, by a factious majority.
The special committee thus raised,
being - Democratic, reported that the
Tyndal petition was not In due forin t
and against proceeding to dra* the
Committee provided by law. The Re
publican Senators protested against the
outrage, maintaining that, ieven if the
petition was defective, this was a point
to be judicially decided bya swe•mCom
mittee drawn in accordance with law.
But the Democratic majority deter
mined to put the thing through and
Adopted the report, with the aid of Mr.
Dechcrt's vote—the practical result being
that in a divided Senate, Mr. Dechert
was allowed to determine - that his own
seat should not be contested!
We know nothing of the merits of the
case nor in how far the petitioners could
have maintained their sweeping allega
tions of fraud at the special election.
Whether the contestants could have
made good the charge that Dechert's
alleged majority was fraudulent or not,
does not change the revolutionary as
pect of the Senate's action it assuming
the right to 'smother investigation at
pleasure and disregard plain provisions
of law. We repeat—it is a dangerous
precedent—one that will work both
ways. If a Democratic majority can thus
summarily dispose of contestde cases,
s) can Republican majorities; and the
discreditable tactics, which have made
a farce of elections in certain wards of
New York and Philadelphia, will be
transferred to our Legislative Halls.
We have already a practical 'Matra
; ion of the consequences of this revolu
tionary action of the Senate. In the
House of Representatives, where the
Republicans are in a majority, the seats
of several Republican members are
(laimed by Democratic contestants.
Although the petions were informal, the
drawing of Committees as provided by
law had been ordered by the House on
the very day that the Senate perpetrated
the outrage in the Tyndall-Dechert
case. The Senate's action coming to
the knowledge of the House, the Re
publican majority promptly reconsidered
the resolution to draw Committees;
and, adopting the Senate's tactics, they
dicided the petitions informal and
turned the contestants out of doors.
We have thus the first fruits of the new
practice inaugurated by Wallace, Ruck
zi leer' Co., in the Senate.
THE Amizonians had a gala day in
Washington last week. The 'Judiciary
Committee of the House gallantly acce
ded to their request for a hearing on the
question of woman's right to the ballot.
Tile strong-minded ladies rallied in
f)rce, headed by Mrs. Woodhull and her
jaunty partner Tenny Clain, Mrs.
Hooker, Miss Susan B. Anthony, "a
maiden all forlorn" of some fifty sum
mers, smart, wiry and withal clever
although a little masculine in manner
and build, together with sundry lesser
lights, who from time to time figure on
the platform. The Judiciary Commit
the patiently listened to all the ladies
had to say, but with an ominous Indian
taciturnity, which left the fair orators
in doubt as to the impression they were
making. Finally, Miss Susan made a
bold attempt to capture Gen. Butler.
Carefully adjusting her specks to com
mand a good view of old Ben, she show
ered upon him compliments thick and
strong, and begged him to pronounce
thet h word "contraband" for the advo
cates of woman's suffrage. The Gen
eral gallantly yielded, and united with
Mr. Loughridge in a report sustaining
the right of the strong-minded ,to the
ballot under the 14th and 15th Amend
ments; but the balance of the Com
mittee very ungallantly squelched the
report by voting an emphatic no.

- France, sustained & crUShing defeat list
week near Le Mans. After a desperate
conflict of six hours, the Getroans, un
d ;ir Prince Frederick Char* and the
Duke of Mecklenburg, ascried the
French positions and drove Gem Chtiz
and his crushed battalions tliessilli a
beyond Le Mans, taking a laige numb*
of prisoners, with guns and v9ii:
materials. The Irene/loss is Put r ilt
16,000. At last accounts Clumsy was
endeavoring to collect his scattered
troops some distance west of IA Mans.
This defeat puts an end to all hope of
relief to the beleagured Parisians. The
Germans opened fire from advanced
works at liendou and Clamart, south of
the city, near Forts Vanvers and Mont
rouge, and from threw
. these positions
shells into the heart of the city, reach
ing the Champ de Mars, the Hotel 'de
Invalides, the Luxembourg, and all
parts of, The city south of the Seine.
Numerals fires have taken place in
different parts of the city. Sorties were
made on Thursday and Friday by the
French in the direction pf Mendon and.
Clamart, but were easily repulsed.
Additional details of the battle at Le
Mans cenfirm the complete defeat . of
the French Army of the Loire. The
field of battle was in a valley east of La
Mans, and the two armies occupied
heights opposite each other, the French
line forming a semi-circle extending
twelve miles, overlooking the valley,
which was covered by twelve inches of
mow. On the opposite heights -the
Prussians held a somewhat similarposi
tion.. The fight opened at 9 Q'clock with
a furious artillery duel from the oppo
site heights, which , was kept up until
near noon, when both armies moved
forward into the plain, and a desperate
conflict took place,-lasting until about 5
o'clock, when the French-gave wayand
a retreat was sounded. Meantime the
dead and wounded-lay upon the battle
field by thousands, and the' snow fields
were red with Inman blood. The car
nage was fearful on both sides. Before
five o'clock in the evening 15000 French
soldiers had fallen. The French fell
back to the heights of Le Mans.
On Wednesday night Prince Frederick
Charles renewed the attack on the posi
tions of General Chew's forces, and,
taking them by surprise, drove them
from the hills surroundingtbe city; and

Among the falsehoods with which the
Copperhead Press hes recently teemed,
was the statement that Mr. Stevens held
a large amount of Bonds and other
securities, Corruptly obtained as , the
price of legislative services—that his
personal estate was fabulous in amount
—and that his executors were persist
ently withholdingan Inventory, in order
.to conceal the facts. The truth is, that
the Inventory was taken immediately
after Mr. Stevens' death; but in conse
quence of ,claims by third parties affect
ing a portion of the assets it was found
impracticable to complete the Inventory •
until reoently, when these claims were
adjusted.. This Inventory was tiled at
Lancaster on- the 14th-inst., by the Ex
-eoutoze, Hons. 0. J. , 4Diolrey, A. E.
Roberts, and Edward McPherson, and
sworn to by the Appraisers and Execu
tors as a truthful exhibition of Mr.
Stevens' personal estate.
The Lancaster Express publishes the
Inventory giving an aggregate of $48,-
616.26, made up of the following items;

The Express referring to the Inven•
toffy, bui this to say.in regard to the
Copperhead assaults:
It was ,thogood, fortune , of Hon. Thaddeis
Stevens, in life,to be a shining mark for
the ceaseless shafts of baffled Copperheads.
It continues to be his good fortune, after
death? to be the object of their 'persistent
detraction and falsehood.
He had hardly died when they coined
the falsehood, that he died possessed of
large amounts of the 'bonds of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company. They supple
mented this with 'an artful suggestion,
that though he bad thOse bonds he never
yald'for them ; and added the fmtber in
sinuation that he ~got them from the
Company, corruptly, and in Compensation
for. services rendered4t, in his capacity of
legislator in Congress, To give consisten
cy and completeness to these unutterably
base inventions, they fixed the sum at
two hundred thonsird , dolbus! Not bon-
- - - •
tent with:this, they hibricated aixl pub
lishedthe further circumstantially stated
but utter falsehood, that Mr. Stevens
died possessed of one twenty-seventh in
terest in the Northern Pacific Railroad,
which interest his executors, they assert
ed, bad sold to Hon. Hiram Walbridge, of
New York, recently deceased. And every
stupid and malignant Copperhetuf all Over
the State, gloated over these wondrous
revelations, and ' rolled under-- their
tongues these precious mor els ()flies,- so
keen was their re4sh for defamation.
The inventory Mr. Stevens' personal
estate was takewintmediately after his
death, as perfecily- as it' could then be
done, ,by two disinterested and highly
respectable citizens of this city. It could
not than be perfected, because of a claim
of ownership, which was at once made by
another distant pa rty , upon certain of the
persottiltyoind because of the delay of
another party entitled under the wit to
make the selection of.property therein au
thorized. But the administration, never
theless, went on. Credits were collected;
all the just debts were paid, as far as as
certained; and no• injury to any one—
debtor or creditor—has resulted from the
*fay referred to. Within a short time,
however, all the di ffi culties in the way
have been removed, and the inventory has
now been duly Sled and.pnblithed.
What are the facts? Not one Union
Pacific Railroad bond, nor a dollar of its
stock, is or has been among Mr. Stevens'
assets. Not one bond of any description is
or has been among them, except twenty
four $lOOO bonds obtained by him through
a transaction in Luzern county coal lauds,
Not the least interest in the Northern
Pacific Railroad was founif among his as
sets, nor have his executers sold anything.
at any price, to Hon. Hirani Walbridge.
And his whole personal estate did not ex
ceed t 40,000,. or about enough to pay his
just debts and legaciea, but not nearly
enough to pay them and the unjust debts
claimed and rumored to be claimed from I
him, should the 1,14er be recovered.—
These denials and statements we make on I
the most unquestionable authority and
epee evidence that•,-eranot be gainsaid;
and'thus vanishes this-last-effort of Cop
. rhead editors to tarnish the rePetetkek
of their dead enemy.
These self-constftutera guardians have
also expressed great anxiety lest the es
tate of Mr. Stevens should be minden-
aged. They way rest easy on that point.
The executors, we are well assured, fear
no scrutiny into their sets, and are pre-
wed to-meet any which may be made.—
This much, however,. we. have under
stood, and deem ft proper to ,state—that
the greatest difficulty they - have had has
~ been to oheak the rapacity of those Cop
perheads who chanced to have unsettled
accounts with Mr. S. And whatever may
be saved will be saved because it has es
caped the efforts of Copperheacls to gob
ble Ulm. The motives of this class for
this concerted raid upon Mr. Stevens' es
tate, hags triple design: First, a craving
to 'gratify their greeds, the opportunity
appearing to be tempting. &cowl, a de
sire, natural to persons of their 'stamp, to
take adraatege of the estate of a man
whom, living, they both feared and bated;
and whom . , dead, they Irottld not scruple
to - mit:rage' and WrOtlg. Thirefly, a vehe
ment desire, born of their political hates
and : prejudices, to reduce the amount of
money which may be applied to thechari

HEROISM Or A RAILROAD ENGINEER.-
By an accident that occurred on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, a few days ago, Enos
J. Hoopes, an engineer, lost his life.
Heroism such as Mr. Hoopes displayed on
the occasion deserves more than a passing
notice. The facts, as we have.heard them
related, are as follows: A car attached to
a freight train bound west had lost a
wheel, and was being carried down a
grade by the momentum of the train,
pitching and tossing over cross-ties, and
making the fire tly out of the stones and
iron. Mr. Hoopes was coming eastward
on a train with fast freight, and as he
neared the wrecked train he thought he
saw somethimg wrong. It was dark, and
to see more plainly he stepped to the fire-
can's side, which is next to the other
track. Just then the wrecked car struck
his engine, breaking his leg in four places,
.crushing his hip,, tearing away half of one
of his feet, and knocking him, in company
with the fireman and breakeman, back
int.i;? the tank. Every man upon Mr.
Hoopes' engine was injured. • The fireman
,and brakeman lay senseless on the floor of
the tank. The conductor of the train and
other brakemen were on a rear car and
knew nothing of the disaster. The train
Was not so much injured as to delay Its
,progreas, and Mr. Hoopes knew that if it
was not promptly stopped it mistrals into
the hind end of the one nextaktad, which
would stop at a station l than three
tidies off for.water. Mr. Hoopes, make&
and bleeding, dragged himself slowly and
painfully over the, prostate bodies: of his
comrades to the throttle valve of his
in&e, shut off -steam, whistled- down'
brakes, sounded the gammons for the eta
ductor and fell back exhausted. ' When
the train stopped and the condrictcr.carne
forward Mr. Hoopes Was +tying to atop
the flow of blood from hie rounds by tying
up his shattered leg and said. "It is all
up with me; do the best you can for me."
He lingered until the, nest Ow in Peat

ITALIAN UNITY
Latter front Viee President Colfax
On Thursday night a celebraticin of the
unity of Italy, with Rome as the Capital,
was held in New York. Igoe President
Colfai being invited to be present and de
liver an address, replied as follows:
WitiIINGTON, Jan. 6, 1871.
My Dear Sir—lt would afford me great
pleasure to accept the invitation of your
committee to attend the meeting next
week, to celebrate the completion of Ital
ian unity, if it were within my power.—
• But public duties, devolved upon me by
thepeople, and•which have a prior claim
on my time, forbid my leaving the Capi
tal, while Congress is in session, except in
the rarest possible cases. While I recog
nize to the fullest extent the considera
tions of propriety which re s train American
citizens, and especially those in official life,
from active interference with the affairs
id' other lands, by legal propagandism,
improper intervention, &c., there is noth
ing ^in either propriety or usage which
prevents the open expression of our joy
when foreign countries take a step for
'wird, to:assimilate their institutions, in a
greater or' lesser degree, with those of
which we are so justly prcid, and .which.
with Goons providence blessing them, have
achieved for us, as 'a nation, our wonder
ful historical progress and development.
I can,.therefore, heartily respond to those
emphatic words of Victor Emanuel to the
Italian Parliament: "Italy is free and one.
It'now depends on usonly to render her
great and happy." - '
We, who Hie here under the protection
of a Constitution which unites so many
millions of people Auto one nation, which
forbid" the establishment of any State re
ligiou, and which guarantees the free ex
ercise of all all religious thought, can re
alize the full import of those short but
weighty words of the Italian Bing free
and one. And he says truly, that it de
pends on her people only, thus united and
free, to render their nation great and hap
py. I would rejoice evermore if Italy had
real y estthe summit of true popular sover
eignwhich our Republic has attained,
for I am one of those who believe that re
publics, With wise men at their heads, are
possible on all contilients, and in all par
allels of latitude. She has, however,
chosen her own form of goverment, and
we cannot challenge her decision_
But I may add that nothing is clearer
than, if she desires to be great and happy,
she must establish and maintain, as the
very corner -stone of united Italy, civil
and religions liberty; the equality of all
under the law,- by protecting in Court*
and Parliament the eivilc rights of the
poorest as energetically and faithfully as
those of the richest and most powerful,
tad as the fitting adjunct of this great
idea of dill liberty, the right of all to
worship God as their individual conscience
commands, giaranteed alike to lel aqd
Gentile, to Protestant and Catliolic, to
priest and layman, to King and Pope. In
this sign they will conquer, for out of this
new life of civil and religious liberty will
flow peace and happiness, progress and
prosperity, with material and national de
velopment and advancement, as surely as
healthful streams flow from fountains of
parity. Respectfully yours,
SCUUT - LZR CoLrkx.

Yonir.—On the 11th inst., William
• Seitz, a well-to-do farmer of old Codorus,
residing 3 miles from Glen Rock commit
ted suicide by hanging. He left his house
in the morinug, going to the barn for the
purpose of feeding the stock. Not return
ing at the proper time his wife mated
their,son to "go and see what keeps fath
er." The son went to the barn and was
borrow-struck to find.his father suspended
from a beam. He at once cut him down,
brit it was too late, for the vital spark Lad
fled. It seenuctliat the unfortunate man
took a strap off a threshing machine, and
standing on a cornsheller fastened it to
the beam, placed the loop under his chin
and jumped off.—The dwelling, barn and
outbuildings of Joseph Ailienfelter, Sid
.donahnig,
..together with furniture and
Clothing, were destroyed by fire on the
ad inst., originating from a defective flue.

Eucaaz Ansm Ia REAL Mex.—Edward
Ruloff, recently convicted of a most vil
lainous murder at Binghamton, N. Y.,
has a history that is truly stranger than
fiction. Be is sixty-five years of age, and
has for twenty-seven years led a life of
crime ; deceiving, swindling, robbing,
murdering; yet in the midst of all these
accursed deeds he found much time to
devote to the acquisition of knowledge, to
the mastering of tasks and problems that
happily make the majority of men gentler,
nobler and better. This cold-blooded
murderer and consummate scoundrel is a
profound philologist, a good criminal law
yer, and possesees considerable intimacy
with the cognate sciences of medicine and
chentistry. And strangest, perhaps, of
all is the startling fact that this hardened
criminal is a self-taught man, one who
was a close student for the pure love of
knowledge. And equally mysterious are
the facts that a manuscript work on
philology and a translation from the
French form the strongest links in the
evidence that at last convicted this re
markable burglar and murderer. At his
trial he defended himself with au anionnt
of legal acumen and knowledge that might
have acquitted him had the evidence been
less strong against him.
A YOMING woman, delegate in the Ohio
convention of woman suffragists, plumply
said: "For my own part, I love man, in
dividttally, collectively, better than wom
an; and so, lam sure, does every one of
my sex, if they, like me, would utter their
real sentiments. lam more anxious for
man's elevation and improvemant than
for woman's, and so is every true woman."
In the face of this eminently true declar
ation there seems to be but little hope of
a unanimous support of the softer sex for
what are known as the woman's rights
movement.,
