It is not at all strange that the vot ers of the Radical party in this county grope in darkness, considering they are fed u[on such food as that served up to them in the Bedford Inquirer. We ask the candid men of that party to read the following printed in the editorial columns of that paper last week: "THE beauties of a thoroughly Dem ocratic government are just now being exhibited in New York city. Murder and crime of every kind is rife. The city government is either unwilling or utterly unable to remedy this deplor able state of affairs. Merchants and respectable business men of every call ing are afriad to walk the streets in broad daylight, and never go unarmed. Within a few days past nearly a dozen cases of shooting or attempts to shoot by means of noiseless air guns are re corded and no clue can be found by which to detect the criminals. The best men of the city and some of the leading papers have begun seriously to discuss the propriety of establishing a vigilance committee as a last resort in self defence. So much for modern Democracy where it wields supreme power." The editor of the Inquirer, in the above article, seeks to deceive his read ers, by asserting that the government of New York city is "thoroughly Democratic." He knows better, lie knows that the police regulations of that city are in the hands of a board of commissioners appointed by the Legislature of New York State. This board is Radical and appoints Radical officers and underlings. Not a single Democratic policeman carries a baton in New York city. Is this not so, Mr. Inquirer* Dare you deny it ? Let us see now whether you are brazen enough to go on the record as disputing this incontrovertible fact. If "murder and crime of every kind is rife" (excuse the grammar) as the Inquirer hath it, it is the fault of the Radical police, appointed by the Radi cal commissioners, who are selected by the Radical legislature at Albany.— The peojrfe of New York city have 110 voice in the choosing of the police to whom are committed the peace and good order of the city. The Radicals of the eouutry districts, through their representatives in the State Legisla ture, save them all trouble 011 that score. Did not the editor of the In quirer know that he was befouling his own nest when he wrote and publish ed the article above quoted ? Yes, New York is governed from Albany, and the result is, to repeat 1 the language of the Inquirer , that j "murder and crime of every kind is j rife" in the m'etropolis. It is now proposed that Philadelphia shall be J governed from Harrisburg; that a: police commission similar to that of New York shall be appointed by our State Legislature. The Inquirer is in f.tvrr of this, we presume, as the Rad ical State Committee, at its recent meeting at Harrisburg, endorsed the proposition. As this plan works so admirably in New York, according to the Ine/uirer, it will, of course, be adopt ed by our sapient and virtuous legis lature. Then, if "murder and crime of every kind," should become "rife" in Philadelphia, it will be all set down to the account of the Democratic mayor, from whom all power over the police will have been taken and who will have dwindled into a mere pre siding officer at the sessions of the city councils. Again we say, it is matter of little surprise that the Radicals of this coun ty are wrapped in Egyptian darkness, when their organ at Bedford delibera tely blindfolds them as in the article copied above. Will not some of them tear Lutz's bandage from their eyes that they may see ? PAY OF I.F.UIBI,ATORM. The House on Tuesday night last re fused by a very large vote to increase the pay of its members from one thous and dollars to fifteen hundred. Many members believe that if Congressmen receive five thousand dollars a year, the pay of a member ot Assembly at Harrisburg should be increased so as to bear something like a just propor tion tothat of a representative at Wash ington. There is 110 doubt that the people of the great State of Pennsylvania have always shown a willingness to pay their publicservants liberally. For the services of intelligent, high-minded statesmen who know the rights of the State, ami dare maintain them, a lib eral compensation would be freely 1 paid. But now when so many mem- ! hers of the legislature show an alacrity ! to transfer the power of the Common- j wealth to the general government, , their usefulness as public servants is closely scrutinized. When the general government proposes to establish mo- i nopolics to construct railroads through j the .State, and make them independent of the local legislature, and when that legislature exhibits a tame acquiescence ' iu the usurpation, the [eople will not witness the proposition for an increase : of pay without murmurs of Indigna tion. If the legislature shall transfer to the j general government all control over the municipal affairs of the State, there is no need of legislators at sueh an ex travagant salary as fifteen hundred dollars for a session of one hundred days. With no subjects of legislation higher than supplements to turnpike laws and the protection of sheep, two hundred dollars would he altogether too high a compensation for a member. Those legislators who are so willing to betray the rights and dignity of the State, should blush with shame when voting themselves a salary of fifteen hundred dollars. It is adding to the crime of treason to the people that of plundering them. With the amendment to the Fed eral Constitution, taking from the State of Pennsylvania the power to regulate the suffrage of her own citi zens, the general government control ling all the details of the election law; with Congress interfering with the railroad legislation of the State, and all other important public matters, what is there to warrant a member in asking fifteen hundred dollars for his insignificant services? Men enough can be had to pass sheep laws and reg ulate turnpike tolls at a much lower rate. The time was when Pennsylvania was a power in the land. She was free, sovereign and independent,controlling her own affairs, and deciding for her self all questions of domestic concern. No member of her legislature in that day would have harbored the treason able thought of giving up her rights to the keepingof a central government, to be organized at Washington. In Congress 110 man would then have been hardy enough to propose to invade her domain with a railroad, without as much as saying "by your leave." Her rights were cherished at home and respected abroad. In that time the services of the best men in the State were had, at a salary far below that which is now demanded. It was held to be high honor to serve the proud Commonwealth. But a change has come. Under rad ical sway Pennsylvania has become a mere province—an insignificant pre fecture, like that of France—bearing the same relations to the general gov ernment which the counties now hold toward the State. Servile members of the legislature are only too eager to record the decrees of the central pow er and rush to Washington for their re ward. She has an executive styled a Governor, it is true, but not half the power of a Persian satrap. When Con gress proposed to construct a railroad beneath the very windows of the exec utive chamber, he looked on in listless apathy, not daring one murmur of protest. In this sad situation to which the Commonwealth is reduced, the refusal of the majority in fhe legislature to in crease their pay, cannot IH> too highly appreciated by their constituents.— They had a decidedly clearer view of the value of the services of a mem ber of the Pennsylvania legislature, than had those who voted in the affiamative. While there is no doubt that the services ol patriotic statesmen vigilantly guarding the in terests, and maintaining the honor and dignity of the great Commonwealth, would not be dear at a far higher sal ery than the advance demanded, it is true that for the subjects of legislation now to Is- left within the control of the of the State, the pay of a member can not be reduced too low. In view of the fact that the only objects of legis lation henceforth will be of the most trivial local character, it would be well to move for a reduction instead of an increase. Sheep laws, turnpike hills, game regulations, divorce cases and gas corporations will uot requireahigh er order of intellect or much honesty ia the legislator. THE NEXT CONGRESS. The number of vacancies in the Forty-first Congress on the date of its organization will be thirty, in case Georgia is admitted, and thirty seven in case she is not admitted. The fol lowing Stabs* entitled to representa tion will be unrepresented; New Hampshire 3, Connecticut 4, Alabama 9, and one vacancy in Pa., Mr. Covode's district, where no certificate has been given by the Governor to either can didate, on the ground that there are no ]tapers on which such certificate can be given. He will probably certify the facts to the House for its decision. In States not yet entitled to representation there will be the following vacancies: Virginia 7, Texas 4, Mississippi 5, Ala bama elects August 5, 1869. The case ol Georgia is very peculiar. By an ordinance of the constitutional con vention, an election was provided for members of both the Fortieth and Forty-first Congresses. The same members were elected to each. They were admitted to the Fortieth Con gress during the very last day of the second session, and are now in their seats. Their credentials for the Forty first Congress have not been received. There is now much doubt whether the names of her members will be on the clerk's roil on the 4th of March next. Louisiana will also present a compli cated case, but it is probable that their names will go on the roll, and that they will he objected to as they appear to be sworn.— Washington liepuljlican.

They tell me you have had plenty fine sleighing in Bedford this winter ; but down here "December's as pleas ant as May," and we have seen but one sleigh hooked up in the whole season ; and we only saw part of the box and one runner of that, as the horse took fright from the grit on bare stones, threw out the driver and ran away. But how elegant for the ladies on promenade! Chestnut street, these fine afternoons, is crowded with fash ion and beauty. And how much the flower girls enjoy it! All along the thoroughfare, where beauty and busi ness jostle, are seen miniature gardens of flowers, crocus, rose, geranium, he liotrope, fcc., and you cannot help in vesting in a small, blushing rose to car ry home for a certain nose whieh, if it is not Grecian, you think is the prettiest in the world. But flowers are not the only admiration. The boys too have their delight, for now and then we come across a GRECIAN BEND, not in the store windows, but live ones coming down the street. We had hoped from the severe caricatures of this style of dress, we should never see it except in Comic Papers and Valen tines, but here conies one just now ! It is amusing to notice the effect upon pedestrians. Many who never notice dress, stop and gaze, pass on with a shake of the head ; the scented dandy twists his moustache and rolls up the white ; and the lady who wears it don't appear to care what anybody thinks ; only they do hate the boys who say naughty things as they pass along. Will the boys never learn to respect inventive genius? nor the sacrifices of those who would entail its benefits on posterity f The season for our SKATING RINKS has been a blue as well as a warm one. An enormous building has gone up on Race and Twentieth, and one on Chest nut, but neither have realized. The former imported a cargo of ice from Maine, which, with the Meager broth ers, gave a partial success. One fancy costume carnival closed the business, and the managers, we are told, are now consoling themselves in an ice house. The "Ball is up" as announced by the Chestnut Rink, is true in more ways than one. THREE BALLS is also a sign whieh we often see dis played along the streets where you can purchase articles which are cheap at half the price you pay. The rule to interpret them Ls, "Two t© one you lose what you put in," and will apply to all those who send their money to lotteries, gift enterprises, &c., as we of ten see advertised. These glittering baits always cover a sharp hook. MAYOR FOX. We don't believe in politics in the administration of municipal affairs, and are therefore disposed to commend Mr. Fox in ignoring it in this instance. But since we have seen the attempt, which we fear will succeed, of a certain party to wrongfully foist upon this city a Metropolitan Police, against the sense and wishes of the people, we think this course is impolitic. The very men whom lie now retains upon the police force are hied every week < r two to the tune of five or ten dollars for the purpose of engineering a bill through which will leave him stripped of power and the city to the mercy of a set of unprincipled scamps. Let him at once sweep the whole force from their positions, and with the same means used against him and the city, let him tax each of the thousand po licemen ten dollars, and endeavor to defeat so iniquitous a project. Such at least is the kind of politics we learned in Bedford county, and where the peace and safety of the community is at stake, we believe in fighting the devil with fire, or beating his head with his own clubs. So far, however, the adminis tration of affairs by Mayor Fox, who is a gentleman and a Christian, has given great satisfaction to good men of both parties. The only objection is the above instance which every right minded citizen condemns. The city needs now, more than ever, an efficient force against the fearful increase of crime, and which will not abet it. A FAIR is on the move just now for the benefit of the Lutheran Orphan's Home; and it is designed to make it an immense one. The largest Ilall in the city is to be secured and contributions are solici ted from every part of the church. The Methodist Fair this winter for the "Old Man's Home" was a success, net ting $20,000. The Lutherans want to do the same. KT CETERA. We have had the pleasure of meet ing Mr. Gump of your place, and Mr. Ely, of Schellsburg, who are students at the University here.

Mr. Morton, from the committee to notify the President and Vice-Presi dent elect of their election, submitted their responses accepting the offices. Mr. Cameron introduced u bill supple mentary to the act to authorize a later al branch of the Baltimore and Poto mac railroad to enter Washington city. Mr. Sawyer called up the bill to pay the officers of internal revenue in the South who cannot take the oath, which was debated and then postponed. Sev eral private bills were passed. The House refused to concur in the Senate's amendments to the hill pro viding for universal suffrage. A large number of bills were introduced and re ferred, among them one by Mr. But ler to prevent restrictions on trade by Statelegisiation,discriminatingagainst the citizens of other States. This is in tended to apply to a law of Maryland concerning non-resident traders. A bill was passed to allow the Northern Pacific railroad to issue bonds and bor row money for the construction of the road from Lake Superior to Puget's Sound. At the evening session of the House the tax bill was considered in committee of the whole, and an amend ment adopted extending the time for the withdrawal of spirits from bonded warehouses from the 2<Jth of April, 1808 to April 20, 1870, the whisky so kept to be subject to a tax of one cent per gal lon monthly. The tobacco section was reached and the House adjourned. WASHINGTON, February, 1(5. The Senate passed the House bill to prevent the loaning of money on U uited States notes. The bill to give Mrs. Lincoln a pension was taken up, and, pending a motion to give her $•">,000 per annum, it was laid over. The bill to repeal the tenure-of-office act was then taken up and discussed at much length. The House passed the bill to remove the political disabilities of a large num ber of Southern citizens. The House last night after adopting several amend ments, passed the new internal reve nue tax hill. NEWS IN BBIJEF. In the United States Circuit Court at Richmond Va., the scalawag, Judge Underwood, presiding, the case of Stevens, a negio, of Charleston, South Carolina, against the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad Company, for putting his wife in a second-class car by force after selling her a first-class ticket, was concluded. Underwood, in his charge to the jury, which was half black and half white, said : "Dis tinction on account of color was a rel ic of barbarism, which had been hap pily done away with even in that sink of iniquity, New \ ork, where it had been tolerated longer than elsewhere to secure Southern trade." After an in cidental statement to the effect that Virginians were given to drunkenness, and their clergy were not exempt from this frailty, th<- judge read several ex tracts from the Bible, and closed by instructing the jury to teach this com pany that they must not make distinc tion on account of color. The jury brought in the verdict for 1,600 dama ges for plaintiff.
