J- Cline, the W big delegates who represented Bedford and Somerset in the Convention of ISbJ. The radical newspapers of this legisla tive district are mute as mice on that subject. They affect to be delighted with the votes of Stutzman, \\ elicr and Longenecker to undo tho work of those old Whigs, hut we really think the editors quietly wish these three - legislative worthies at the devil. It is the business, however, of these slaves to party leaders, to swallow any piJl the latter may prescribe lor tlieui. Nothing but tame and abject submis sion can be expected of them. But the massed of the radical party—are they slaves too? nu: iMsi i.-M.i va.iis. Tlie twenty seven extra pasters and folders appointed by the late legisla ture are provided for In the appropria tion bill at an expense of $20,000 to the tax payers. Most of these fellows had A complete sinecure during the session, not performing any service at ail. Some of the Radical newspapers protested very loudly aginst this out rage in the beginning. Among these was the Bedford Inquirer. Nothing more, however, is heard from these sources til regard to this matter. The in iquity has been accomplished, but the radical editors have nothing to say a bout it. Another election i- approach ing,and the fear is that some of the men who voted to pay these paate-sllingers will be left at home. Cannot the In quirer say just a word upon this sub ject ? M*t 1 \rf.GBA lION. SEN ATOR Srnaot'K has made sever al speeches in the t. r . 8. Senate, de nouncing his party associates for their profligacy and corruption, and predic ting the ruin of the country if they did not change their course. Senator Ross, of Kansas, and Senators Cameron and Scott, of this State, have also made speeches severely reflecting upon the appointments made by President Grant. <)f course this is merely a show of honesty on the part of these men, and is not to he taken as evidence of sincere repentance of the folly and crime in which they have participated during the last eight years. But it shows the gradual hut certain disin tegration of the radical party. The downfall of that corrupt and rotten organization is approaching. Let it come. TUB POST OFFICE ijunuKiLio.— "I>AD" AIM'OINTS HLSOWN MAN AND IOXORES TUB PEOPLE. —SUMF.TIHNO ROTTEN IN DENMARK.—Maj. Daniel Washabaugh has been appointed by the President and continued by the Senate, as postmaster at this place, vice (Loyer, resigned. Maj. Washabaugh is a competent man, and will, no doubt, discharge the duties of the office with care and fidelity. We find no fault with the character of the appointee. In fact as it is "none of our funeral," we stand back, "like a bound boy at a husking," and content ourself with the role of a serene -iooker-on. But as a faithful chronicler of passing events, it becomes our duty to inform an anx ious and inquiring public as to the manner in which the appointment was made. It will be rcmemliered that on the 20th of February last, the supporters of' President Grant, residing within the range of delivery at the Bedford post office, held an election to indicate their choice for postmaster, at which A. 8. Rub< it received 120 majority over all competitors. This result was considered deei-ive and conclusive, by the people oftht* neighborhood, and Messrs. Minnieh and Arnold, who were eandidates against Mr. RUSMOII, grace fuily and cheerfully submitted to the popular verdict. Everybody accepted Mr. Russell as the coming postmaster and there was general satisfaction with the choice thus made. The Inquirer of Feb. xiiith said : "Mr. Russell lias been dork of the post office for some time and discharged the duties of the post to ihc satisfaction of all parties, and well deserves the high compli ment paid him in the very flattering vote lie received on Saturday, lie will make an obliging and efficient of ficer." In Hi is the Inquirer expressed the feeling of-general satisflaction at the selection of Mr. Russell which per vaded its party. But, it. so happened that the choice of the people was not the choice of "our" congressman. Mr. Cessna ha interests to subserve in the future, and he did not think Mr. Rus sell the man to use in carrying out his ambitious projects. He determined that the appointment should not be made. True, the popular vujeo tfas loud and positive for .Mr. Russell, but what cares Cessna for the people? lie knows that heretofore ho has always whipped them into the traces, and he thinks lie will have no trouble iu do ing so again. They may kick for a while, but, reasons John, they'll be lame enough when they hear the crack of the party lash. If there be any who have no fear ofthe whip, he has some nice sugar-plum* in the shape of prom ises of office, or money, to coax thorn into submission, and those who can be neither driven, nor purchased, he hopes fo glo'zeand cheat by soft words and pretty little while JieS, such as he known so well how to tell. Thinking thus, M"r. flessnadSd not hesitate to dis regard and set at defiance the expres sion of the pojralar preference In fhvor of Mr. Russell. Of course, to those who call him to account for his conduet in this matter, he offers plenty of excuses. First, he says that Mr. Russell was an appoin tee of Ex-President Johnson, that he was recommended by Montgomery Blair and Senator Buckalevv,and, there fore, Grant refused to appoint him. Suppose this to be true, how does it come that Mr. Cessna, or Mr. Grant, does not remove Mr. C. W. Asheom from the office of Collector of Internal Revenue for this district ? Mr. Asheom was appointed by Andrew Johnson, upon the recommendation of Senator Buckalew, Judge Kimmell and other Democrats, yet Mr. Cessna and Presi dent Grant permit him to continue in office. Will Mr. Cessna please explain this little discrepancy? We know that this reason was not taken account i of by Mr. Cessna, when lie offered to get the post office for Mr. Russell, if the (otter tdould pay S3OO of his notary per annum to another party who wets an ap | plieantfor the place. Anotherexeuseof i fered by him, is, that Senator Cameron controlled the appointment and would I not suffer Mr. Russell to be appointed. Certainly Mr. Cameron did not make choice of Maj. Washabaugh, for the Major has been known for years as an anti-Cameron man and was an office holder under Curtm, the bitter enemy of Cameron. Ho that cock won't fight either, I>ad. The fact of the business is, and John might as well own it, A. S. Russell could not he made a tool of by "our" Congressman, and, therefore, was cheated out of the office for which lie was the almost unanimous choice of ; the people of this neighborhood. Mr. Russell is and ha always been a Republican of the stniitest sect.- We have nothing in common with him po litically. But we know him to have been an efficient, impartial and obliging officer, and for that reason we should have lieeti gratified at his appointment. Only this and nothing more. And now, if the "Republicans" of this neighborhood are satisfied that John Cessna shall set aside their own votes for postmaster and himself select one for them, we have no right to com plain. It is their business, not ours. But we do say this, that if Seymour I had been elected President and Judge Kimmett Congressman, and the Demo crats of this neighborhood had elected a postmaster, it would have been worth the Judge's head, much as the Demo crats like him, if he had disregarded i such an election. PERIOIX'II.S. THE OLD GUARD FOR MAY.—The following contents of this popular monthly, for May, are of a superior character. "Fifteenth Amendment," ".Northern Delusions Atmut Negroes." Article 12, under the caption of "As tounding Delusions and Falsehoods Employed by Wilberforce to Turn Loose the Negroes of the West Indies," places that "reformer" in his true light before the world. The "Construction of the Bible," by a Hebrew scholar, who has given years of labor to this great subject, is worthy of careful pe rusal. W. Gilmore Simnis' story, "The Cub of the I'anthcr." The bal ance of the literary matter, including the poe ical department, is considera bly above the late average of merit. The "Book Table" and the "Editor's Table are both full of capital reading; and, all in all, TIIE OLD GUARD for May makes a splendid number.

J Correspondence of the Bedford Geiette. ] Piiil'a., April 22, 1869. "Let us have Peace." The indications for that desired end are not very vast, as we look around. There is thunder every where just now, and we begin to think that Mr. Grant will bestirred up by others than his family circle and those who desire to serve their country in some fat office, very shortly. The method last pro posed in Congress for settling the Ala bama claims, if officially considered, will and can end in nothing short of war.' And we believe the animus of the lenders of Congress is of that char acter, while the action thus far can be construed in no other light. With the annexation of Canada comes the revo lution in Cuba in which the whole country sympathizes, and in which di rection warlike demonstrations are now being made. It is known that a ■ batch of cannon left this city to-day, and it is confidently believed, bound for the "ever faithful Isle." Here too Congress has given no uncertain sound. While all this is going on outside, there is a disturbing element within. A party in the interest of Imperialism has boldly flung out a paper in New York in advocacy of that revolutionary doctrine, and says that the present form of government means "lawless ness, corruption, insecurity to person and property, robbery, and civil war." Touching the attempt to suppress it by mob law it says: "We are not alone in this great city, and ire know on whom to rely in our emergency ." Takiri the above facts into consideration in con nection with the unsettled condition of affairs in the Southern States, it does not look as though "peace" had yet lighted down on the Capitol. OI'EIIA BOUKFK. Anything foreign will rage in this country ; and when Opera is Frenchi fied you may be sure that' it will be patronized. We know nothing of Op era Boutie by sight: for we believe it to be demoralizing. But there are those who do, and while their conscience is sufficiently elastic to allow them to at tend, nevertheless concede that some subjects are of very doubtful propriety. Vice and imparity are here made at tractive because they are covered with beautiful and gorgeous drapery (some times not enough of it) and worked up with music and dance. The Academy of Music has had crowded houses to witness such scenes lately. This same opera had a great run in i'aris in 1867, and in that case we judge there is no want of abandon and freeness in it. As has been demonstrated, there are plenty here who take to it easily, and many who profess refinement and are extremely fastidious in matters of open vice and immorality, go there night af ter night and never know anything iiurts them, on the principle, we pre sumthat to the pure all things are pure. The "Hon! Soit" arrangement is very convenient in French Opera and Black Crook. Summer walked in on us last Sunday in full dress. And such delightful weather ! From our window we can look over a wide scope where residences are em bowered in a delicate green and yards liegin to smile with vernal loveliness. In the meantime a warm, gentle rain has laid the dust and cheered nature all over, the sun comes out full and warm, and the birds have a fine concert. We feel young again, and almost wish for the times when we played marbles, rolled on the gnus or went fishing and came back like all boys do . The flower market is in full array and every variety gladdens the eye and delights the nose. Delaware shad regale the taste, and are now becoming abundant.

Attorney General Hoar has given an opinion agreeing with that of Mr. Ev erts, to the effect that the eight-hour law does not compel the payment of ten hours' wages for eight hours' work, and the Secretary of the Navy has in structed the commandants of the navy yards in accordance therewith.

The whole republic bad been placed under arms in consequence of Ckbret'a entry from the Haytien frontier. There wax great excitement and Baez was censur ed for his alleged annexation proclivi ties. The dryness of the Egyptian climate is such that rain scarcely ever fell in the upper province, and not more form erly than five or six days a year in the Delta.

The Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria, is to he married on the 27th of July next to the Prince Royal of Denmark. This will leave the Queen only one unmarried daughter, the Princess Beatrice. The New York Herald's Port au Prince correspondence states that great dissatisfaction exists in the Haytien capital at the idea of a colored repre sentative of the United States being sent there. They think they should have a white man. The London and Paris papers speak in the same tenor regarding the acqui sition of ('uha hy the United States, They say that England and France will have to determine the question. Eight passengers and two brakesmen on the Long Island Railroad were in stantly killed last week, the train to which the eoaeh containing them was attached running off tlie track.

Gov. Hoffman, of New York, is praised by both the republican and democratic press of that State for his resistance to the schemes of plunder which are so rife at Albany. The young ladies of New York are now adopting the role of "sweet sim plicity," and appear at balls and par ties in short muslin dresses, without ornaments of any kind.
