llu IMffitS toftt*. o l'rMy MorniK. Murrli 2®. I*o9. STIM/ no vote on the Tenure of of fice bill, and, as a consequence, no ap pointments of any consequence. It is simply cruel in the President to keep the Bread-and-Butter Brigade "hang ing on the tender-hooka of suspense;" but then, Mr. Grant isa stubborn man, a man of determined character, who having adopted an idea holds on to it with the tenacity of an English bull terrier. Thus far there is not the slightest evidence of a disposition on his part to let go his hold uj>on the throat of the Radical party. He has made a sure thing of it, he thinks, and thinking thus, is, in dog-pit vernacu lar, "lying down to it and chawing at leisure." Cruel Grant. YAMI EE modesty is truly astonish iug. Especially is this the ease with radical and overbearing Massachusetts. Not satisfied with Boutwell and Hoar in the cabinet—with having control of the most important committees in Con gress, and with forcing the appoint ment of J. Latbrop Motley, as minis ter to England, like Oliver Twist, she still cries for "more." She w ants the Grecian mission, and a hundred other things. Massachusetts will want as long as a crumb is left to fall from the Presidential table. When will the people set to work to restrain the greedyism of fanatical New England? THE Inquirer does not say a word, pro or con, on the nomination of Gen. Longstreet, by Grant, to an important office in New Orleans. Why is this? If Johnson had made a similar ap pointment, all the radical crew would have set up a hideous howl at the in sult to "loilty." Is this Grant's meth od of "punishing traitors and making t reason odious?" But then, we forget. The ex-rebel is a relative. That covers a "multitude of sins." We venture to say that if Jeff. Davis were a relative of the great Grant family he would get a foreign mission at once. NEW YORK and Philadelphia pa pers are discussing the question of the respective honesty and morality of the New York and Pennsylvania legisla tures. As they are both Radical, and therefore both naturally corrupt and dishonest, a toss of a copper would de cide the question as well as the most that upon the points named it is six with one and half a dozen with the other. Both are rotten to the core. JOHN COVODE, it is stated, has been admitted to Ills seat, during the con test. This is about as unblushing a case of fraud as ever was perpetrated upon a free people. Gen. Foster was clearly elected. But it seems that all that is necessary in any district where a Radical has been defeated, is to go to Congress and contest the seat. These outrages will continue as long as the Radicals find it necessary to hold the two-thirds power. GRANT'S arbitrary attempt to cancel the pardons granted by President John son, has, like his attempt to run the Government machine himself, brought him to grief. His new Attorney Gen eral decided against his right to do anything of the kind, and, as a conse quence, the pardoned men have had their pardons restored to them by the United States Marshal. THE editor of the Inquirer sees an "increased Republican majority" in the late New Hampshire election, when in fact the majority is altout one half what it was for Grant. What queer eyes the fellow must have. THE ratification of the Fifteenth amendment, which passed the Senate, at Ilarrisburg, some time ago, still hangs fire in the House. The subject will be taken up in a few days, when, of course, the Radicals will ratify. HOME innocent Republicans assert they want to give the negro a vote for the purpose of putting him out of poli tics. Some people think this is about the easiest way of putting him in. NOTHING valuable has recently been drawn in Grant's gift enterprise. Reas on— the refusal to repeal the tenure of office bill. TIIK Legislature having abolished the Lycoming judicial district, intends trying its hand next at blotting out counties. The President informed the .Senate on Friday last, that he had approved and signed the bijl for the further se curity of equal rights in the District of Columbia. It is, therefore, a law, and is as follows: Be it enacted, <fcc., That the word "white," wherever it occurs in the laws relating to the District of Colum bia, or in the charters or ordinances of the cities of Washington and George town, and operates as a limitation on the right of any elector of such District, or pf either of the cities, to hold any office, or to be selected and to serve as a juror, be and the same is hereby re pealed ; and it shall Ire unlawful for any person or officer to enforce or at tempt to enforce, such limitation after the passage of this act. WHEN radical editors assert that the "question of negro suffrage is being submitted to the people of the loyal States in the shape of the Fifteenth Amendment," they assert tlint which is most palpably false. If they were not the most hardened political sinners that ever cumbered the earth, the very thought would cause them to blush with shame. The question is not sub mitted to the people, but to legisla tures elected by the people, who were distinctly told at the time that thi* question teas not an isrne. To assume, now that in demanding the ratifica tion of the Fifteenth Amendment by the legislatures is submission of the question of negro suffrage to the people requires an effrontary that a band of free hooters might well envy. It is a fraud and a cheat unparalleled. "MAC," the Washington correspon dent of the Cincinnati Enquirer , charac terizes President Grant as "the small est great man of the century," and a inong other proofs relates the fact that on the "day before the inauguration President Johnson wrote a note to the incoming President inviting him to ride with him to the Capitol." To this Grant did not even condescend to re ply. The public will remember that in the accounts of the late inauguration proceedings particular pains were ta ken to note the fact that President Johnson did not participate. Here is the reason for his absence. Such is Grant. "SUSPENSION," said Senator Sher man, in his argument for the uncon ditional repeal of the Tenure of Office act, "would be an acknowledgment that the law was wrong." That is precisely what it is. Nothing more nor less. It was conceived in wrong, has accomplished nothing but wrong, and it is only a perpetuation of a wrong to allow it to stand on the statute book. BECAUSE the Sultan of Turkey has given to the widow of his late Grand Vizier a pension of $15,000 a year, in gold, it is argued that Congress should imitate the Sultan's liberality and give Mrs. Lincoln a pension of at least $5,000 a year. Real Radical logic that, but good enough to suit pension pur poses. ANOTHER INDIAN WAR.— Our In dian policy, as it is called, is showing effects in Alaska already, The Rus sians as long as they owned and aecu pied that country were at peace with the aborigines ;_the moment the more difficulty and bloodshed occur. Both i our army and navy are involved in the matter, and according to the late dispatches, after some tiring and kill ing, a chief was captured. So we have a new fleld for Indian wars, expensive to the government and lucrative to the white Indian ring. A dispatch says a good deal of bad feeling exists between these Indians and the military. Their villages are remote from the sea, and men-of-war cannot get near enough to shell them. This latter fact can hard ly be regretted, as it is most probable that the bad feeling originates with the antipathies of the military. It is an abominable thought that we have only extended our dominion to the North Pole as a means of butchering the miserable people who have built their huts around it for the last thous and years. Let Secretary Borie and Secretary Rawlins look into the mat ter.— Bait. Sun. Anna Dickinson was too late for the train at Des Moines, lowa, a few morn ings since, and she hired a locomotive to take her one hundred and sixty-five miles, and rode upon it with the engi neer and fireman. An Oregon journal prints notices of births under the head of "Come;" marriages it styles "Fixed to Stay," and deaths it reports under the head of "Gone." The population of Reading is .*30,817; Scranton, 20,601; Ilarrisburg, 26,1.35; Lancaster, 24,651 ; Williamsport, 10,- 702; Allentown, 16,685, Erie, 11,205. Since the invasion of the Papal States the Catholic churches in Par is have given $100,000,000 francs to the Pope. The trustees of the Illinois Indus trial University have voted, 15 to 6, against th,e admission of women stu dents. The largest income in Louisville is returned by John Bull, a patent medi cine manufacturer, $140,225. Minnesota has passed a law prohibi ting absolutely the shooting of quails in that State until after 1875. The Orthodox Quakers of this coun try, it is stated, number, 54,000, They have 765 churches that furnish sit tings for 269.000. Grass is six inches high in some parts of California, and snow is sixteen inches deep in other parts. Ripe tomatoes, hot-house strawber ries and cucumbers are plenty in the New York market. There are sixty-nine Jewish congre gations in Italy, nuinl>ering 17,750 souls. A Jones County, lowa, Stock raiser, has made a sale of cattle and hogs a mounting to $60,000. A $5,000 monument Is to be erected o ver Sam Houston's grave, at Houston, Texas, A Medthodist prayer-meeting in Hartford, Ct., prayed that Gen. Grant might give up tobacco. On the Chicago and Northwestern railway recently a train ran ninety-one utiles in ninety minutes. The charities of the benevolent agen cies in Istndou amount to £2,000,000. Ito* I'll I I.ADEI.I'f ! IA, |Corrfpmdenee of the Bedford Gazette.] MEPICAL COMMENCEMENT. Thro' the kindness of a member of the Institution, we were favored with a ticket to the commencement of the Medical Department of the University of Pa., on the 13th inst., held in the Academy of Music. Our ticket admit ted us to the Parquet, where we had a fine opportunity of seeing and hearing. All who have been in the Academy of music on such an occasion, will at once recall the grand aud brilliaut scene. We may call it a crowd, even in such a place; and every face, beaming with pleasure and interest, seemed to be set toward some attractive point. The eyes of the one hundred and thirty graduates, we know, very often dwelt anxiously on the huge pile of boquets and flower baskets on the stage, won dering who is to get them, and if her name was on any of them. The Ger mania Orchestra discoursed divinely as they can. The Stage was tilled with men of note of every profession ; and amid the blazing of lights, altbo' it was mid-day, and the brilliant array of fashion and beauty, crowding that im mense building, it was an occasion of great interest, and such as the young gentlemen who were doctored and bo quelted will not soon forget. Prayer was offered by the Rev. I)r. Krauth, in clerical robes; after which the degrees were conferred by the Provost. As this ceremony was done iu Latin we took it for granted that it was done right. Then came the Valedictory by Prof. Stille, and one that ought to be put iu permanent form and become the "Vade Mecum" of every Medical Stu dent. It was brilliant as well as logi cal, and brought down the house. His argument for tiie Esculapian Art in its humane and scientific development was just and conclusive; and the way he handled the naked knife against Em piricism would have created astonish ment in the dissecting r< cm. ihe last, act was the distribution of boquets to the graduates, aud which, no doubt, was exceedingly interesting to about one hundred and thirty young ladies in the assembly. The delicate compli ment was, we will suppose, returned in a pleasing way in the evening ; and tender memories of "the girls they left behind," will start a gentle throb now and then as they go thro' life, uutil they chance to find along its rugged path a single flower more sweet than all thereat. Good-bye, girls! Vale, Doc tores ! "OLD ZioN's." It will interest some of your readers | to hear of the demolition of Zion's ; Lutheran Church, on Fourth and Cher j ry. It has served its time, and now gives place to the business demands of i the age. This church is more than one | hundred years old; arid at the time it | was built, 1776, was the largest and finest structure of that kind in North j America. Ten years after it was oc cupied by the British army as a hospi tal and suffered much injury. Added ; . j eoij lui-ci, <t Cte.JHUVH fire left nothing but the walls; but it was soon refitted again and re-dedica ! ted. The Obsequies commemorative of the death of Wa-hington were held in this church, in 1799. The congrega tion was a very large one, and estab lished several branches in other parts of the city. The pressure of business forced them to sell it, and a new church, ' of brown sandstone, is being built on Franklin, below Vine, on the site of ' their old burial ground. I should have ; stated that this was a German Luther ■ an Church. The present pastor is Dr. ! Mann. Members of this church may I be found in almost every German com • munity, it being the mother of thous ands of spiritual children. SENSATIONAL PRKACHING, AC. The present generation, we imagine, | has gotten very far from the good old Apostolic ruts. When Paul preached at Athens, the peoples' ears itched for something new, some political novel ty, or sensational touch ; and were as tonished and indignant to hear of Jesus and the Resurrection. Now Paul would hardly get a "call" to some churches here. We have too many Athenians who want their ears tickled with funny sayings, and he couldn't do that. But such ecclesiastical monstrosi ties turn up occasionally, and cater to the depraved taste and mawkish senti ment of such, until the church is filled with laughter or resounds with ap plause. AI! kinds of queer texts and theatric notices are advertised in order to draw a crowd. One fellow announ ces that he will preach on the "Blues another on "Secrets," and so on. One church advertises, "good music;" and another that "no subscriptions will tie taken to-day, only a basket collection." ; All this in one issue of a daily. What a wide departure from the simplicity jof the pure ago! No wonder the mul : titudedo evil when hifalutin, mounte bankism and operatic musiego fortruth and Gospel. Talmadge, the latest ago ny, goes to Brooklyn to run a tilt with Beecher. The prayer of the saints this side of New England is that he may always stay there. THE OLP GREEN FLAG. j "Saint Patrick's day in the morning" j j dawns bright and beautiful over head, ; the augury, we hope, of a better day I for that stricken land—The Emerald I Isle. The patron saint is toberemem- ' | bered with more than ordinary demon strations. The Fenian Brotherhood, | The Hibernia, the Celtic and other or ders will "drown the Shamrock," in a I thousand glasses, and celebrate the I rish festival with speeches, parades, j music and balls. A grand rally round ' the "old Green Flag" will take place ' at the National Hall under theauspices j of the Fenian Order, and addresses will be made by distinguished speakers. It is a matter of congratulation that in the last election in Great Britain the Gladstone Administration was sustain ed on the distinct issue of "Justice to Ireland," and in the light of this great ! victory they can now look forward j with brighter hope to Ireland's liberty i through disestablishment and reform, ; and add another and deeper tinge to the "old green flag." The contest ! which resulted in a Parliament hostile } to the D'lsraeli ministry, and pledged * to the interests of those who have been ground down and oppressed, indicates a higher advance in Irish indepen dence and the ultimate triumph of the principles enunciated in "the wearing of the green." In the name of St. Pat rick we wish theOuld Counthry Ciiwl speed in her noble struggle for Enfran chisement. SEEING THF. EDITOR. Yes, sir, we saw him the other day, not as we used to see him when sitting in his sanctum with pen flying over the paper, and each particular hair on end, and eyes flashing; political light ning, getting ofl" those editorials which we always read in a cool place ; but we spied him on Market street as we pass ed in a street car, and accordingly wo made for him suddenly; and fearing lest he would be lost in the crowd, we rushi d out of the car, and in our way out tumbled over baskets, sent hoop skirts flying, kicked men on the shins, and nearly upset the conductor. We imagine the passengers thought a po liceman was alter us, but he was'nt. We were after the Editor of the GA ZETTE, and we brought him up at last on the corner and enjoyed a brief glance at his benign countenance. We will go thro' as much for R sight of your be nevolent phiz, Brother Men gel, any day. And here is the compliment of St. Patrick's Day to you both : that your shadows and subscribers may in crease. Believe me to be, LINDEN. liicii.r KKWH rrr.Jis. Omaha, March 18.—A telegram from Helena, Montana, reports the Indians again troublesome; Two men, Frank Leonard and J. McDonald, had some of their cattle killed by Indians, near Yellowstone, and the entire herds driv en off. Thirty soldiers were sent from Fort Elies to pursue them and were at tacked -by about seventy-five Indians. The fight lasted one hour, and resul ted in the killing of several Indians. The troops returned to the fort during the night. Seven hundred soldiers and citizens expected to start against the Indians. Another railroad to the Pacific is now proposed, starting from the southern boundary of Kansas and terminating on the Pacific ocean at Han Diego, with a branch to the Mexican frontier in the direction of EI Paso. Senator Pomeroy has just introduced a bill in corporating a company for the purpose, which asks a grant of twenty alternate sections of land per mile on each side of the line to aid in the completion of the enterprise. Another disease of Asiatic origin has reached our shores. It is called jungle fever, and partakes of a typhoid al type, and is very malignant and rapid in its progress. The ship Bos worth, which arrived at New York on the 17th from Java, lost six of her crew on her passage, and left six others at Tabic Bay sick with the disease. John San ford Young shot Richard n - 1 - -. e T'r. *••••• * 1 through the heart, at Henderson, Ken tucky, Thursday of last week, killing him instantly. The clergymen attached to Trinity Church, New York, have had their salaries raised, and in one instance there has been the very handsome ad vance from f2,000 to SIO,OOO. The King of Bavaria will present to his young Russian bride upon her ar rival at a necklace of pearls worth 100,000 florins. One banker in Paris, M. Thibaudeau, holds £70,000 worth of Confederate bonds for which he paid fifty per cent, of their face. Very gloomy accounts are given of the condition of the Lancashire cotton manufacturing districts in England. A large number of mills are idle, and the operatives are reduced to distress. An lowa church has paid off a mortgage by making a general contri bution of grain, stock, dry goods and boots and sh es, and then selling the lot at auction. A laborer in Washington county, i Missouri, picked up an old shoe, and ] found in it SBOO in gold coin. A big steamboat is to be anchored at New York, on the Hudson, this sum j nier and furnished as a "summer board ! itig house." Seventy-five dollars were recently paid for a dinner for four persons at | Delmonioo's, New York, the wine | charges being extra. The arrival of Rev. Paul Bagley is i announced in Kngland, on his mission ! to procure the release of the Fenian I prisoners.

On Thursday afternoon last a girl, thirteen years old, and two young la dies—all white gnd daughters of neigh boring farmers, living within two miles of this place—were ravished by a negro. On Friday, a negro, nineteen years old, named Cain Norris, a na tive of Chambersburg, was arrested and is now confined in jail as the perpetrator of these outrages, and there seems but little doubt of his be ing the guilty party. The excitement in the community is intense. On Fri day night an etfort was made to take Norris from jail with the intention of hanging him. No less than eight hundred people gathered about ihe building, but, speeches having been made by a number of prominent citi zens, the mob was induced to disperse. The prison has been since guarded by a pfme oomUatus, summoned by the Sheriff. The young Judas outraged are daughters of three of our most re spectable farmers. ANSOI N< KMENTN.
