%\\t <§H2?tte. "tjggs^ ThTir^il:*y M'orn i n"*?. "SffpliT^r 11,180^. "Our Congressman," the Honorable J. Cessna, manufacturer of Postmasters and Internal lie venue officials for the Sixteenth Congressional district, has returned home. The Honorable J. is a -member of the Committee on Elec tions. This is the Committee of which the Hon. iI. L. Dawes, of Massachu setts, (another radical Congressman) recently said, in a public lecture, that no respectable man would he caught serving on it. But "our Congress man" determined to lend it respecta bility, by going on it himself. His connection with those reputable trans actions in our State Senate, the foisting of MeConaughy into the seat filched from Duncan and the supplanting of Shugert by Robison, invested his name with a wondrous luminousness. As a rotten mackerel shines by moon light, so do the claims of Radical con testants to seats in Congress become transparent under the effulgence of the great respectability of the attorney for MeConaughy and Robison. But we said "Our Congressman" has returned home. lie had started for South Car olina, where the Committee on Elec tions had a little job to put up for the approaching sessiou. Several Radi cals had failed to get a majority of the votes cast for members of Congress in their -respective districts, other part ies having beaten them a few thousand votes, and it became necessary for the Committee on elections to interfere in ; behalf of the former. But, sad to re- 1 late, when the Honorable J. reached j Washington, it was discovered that j the last vent of the contingent fund had been expended and that the Committee [ on elections would have to go to South Carolina at the risk of not getting their expenses voted them at the next Con gress, or not go at ail. "Our Con gressman," - although buruing with : anxiety to re-establish the respectabil- j ity of the Committee by personal par ticipation in its labor, concluded that he would face about and return to Bed ford. Much as he desired to serve his country and his party, when there was , to be uo fee for his services and the j chances were that his expenses would come out of his own pocket, he deter mined to let country and party take care of themselves. Therefore, "Our Congressman" came home. Appli cants for inarshalships to take the census, please take notice. I ll t: I.ATE CiEOBGE rHABODV. The death of theeminent philanthro pist, ocly often visited Europe on business, and was frequently entrust'd by the State of Maryland with impor tant uegoeiatious, which were always co uducted with signal ability. In 1837 lie commenced to reside permanently in London, where he established him self as a merchant and banker. In 1857 he gave the sum of $300,000, with a pledge to increase it to $->OO,OOO, to found the Peahody Institute in Balti more, an institution for the promotion of science, literature and line i.rts. He subsequently increased the gift to sl,- 000,000, and more recently added to this sum $500,000. Mr. Peahody also made munificent contributions to institutions in his na tive town of Dauvers, Mass., also for lodging houses for the ioor of London, and for professorships in Yale and oth er colleges; but his hist ami greatest gift was his donation of some two mil lions of dollars to the cause of educa tion in the Southern States. The memory of GeorgePaabOdy will be revered through nil future time and his generosity and philanthropy will, as the years roll around, never fail to .awaken the veneration and gratitude of mankind. "TIN BAY" is the title of a new penny morning paper published in Philadelphia, by Alex. Cummings, Esq. It is independent in politics.— The editorial department evinces much ability and the paper makes a neat and handsome appearance. It is, in short, an excellent newspaper, tilling a void which has long existed in the Philadelphia world of letters. THE ELECTIONS LAST WEEK! Democracy Triumphant! NEW YORK. NEW JERSEY AND MA RYI.AND CARRIED BY IN CREASED MAJORITIES! CI rent Rains in Massachusetts. Illinois, Wisconsin anl .Minnesota ! The result of the elections held on Tuesday, 2d inst., shows, at the same time, the vitality and recuperative power of the Democratic paity and the gradual but eertain disintegration and decadence of the radical organization. New York has elected the whole Democratic State Ticket by majorities ranging from .20,000 to 30,000 ! Last year Seymour carried the State by 10,000. What is better, we have both branches of the legislature for the first time in fifteen years. The snap judg ment ratification of the Fifteenth A mendment passed by the last legisla ture of that state, will, therefore, be re pealed. All hail, glorious New York ! New Jersey, ever faithful New Jer sey, goes Democratic by an increased popular majority, and elects a Demo cratic legislature which will reject the Fifteenth Amendment and elect a 17- nited States Senator in placeof the car pet-bagger, Oat tell. Maryland, our Maryland, elects the Democratic ticket In every county, a unanimously Democratic legislature, and the Democratic State Ticket by at i least 30,000 majority! Massachusetts electsClaflin, Radical, by about 10,000 over J. Q. Adams, Democrat, and Chamberlain, Working men's candidate. Last year Claflin's majority was about 75,000. The Dem crats have also some sixty members of the lower house, nine Senators and one member of the Governor's Coun cil. Heretofore but few Democrats have been elected to eithe>r branch of the legislature. Wisconsin goes Radical, as usual, but by a small majority. Last year Grant carried the State by 21,000. Minnesota is in doubt, even at this writing. If the Democratic candidate for Governor is beaten at al!, the ma jority for his opponent is very meagre. Last year Grant had 15,000. Illinois elected county officers and members of a Constitutional Conven tion. The radicals lost heavily. In Chi cago and Cook county, which formerly gave from 8,000 to 10,000 radical major ity, the usual order of things has been completely revised, and the Democrat ic Citizens' Ticket is elected by 10,000 majority. West Virginia elects a liberal legis lature. The radicals are divided in that State on the question of continued disfranchisement of white men, as well as on the subject of enfranchising the blacks. The proscriptionists, or "Bit ter enders," as they are called, have been badly beaten. The Democrats and "Let-ups" have a majority in both branches of the legislature. The odious registration law, t>y which about one half of the white men of the State were held in politjcgl bondage, will be repealed,and hereafter West Virginia will range herself in the Democratic column. Auspicious and cheering results are these, yet at the same time they are a terrible commentary on the loss of in fluence of our own once intluential but now degraded State. The time was when the voice of Pennsylvania de cided for either pqrty, New Y'ork and New Jersey were certain to echo the decision, and the Western States just as sure to endorse the judgment wiih an overwhelming vote. But not so now. The re-election of John W. Geary, notorious us a trickster, a cor ruptionist and has so disgusted the thinking men of neigh boring States, that they fell it their duty to show their contempt for the recreancy of Pennsylvanians whose lead they w*ere formerly proud to fol low. The watch-word will no longer be, "As goes Pennsylvania, so goes the Union !" Alas, no! The glory of the Old Keystone has departed, and will not be restored until her stiff ueeked children turn from their evil ways auil march again under the Dem ocratic banner. A CORRESPONDENT of- the Philadel phia Inquirer states that the cost of taking testimony in the Louisiana con tested seat* in Congress, is over #20,000. The Democratic candidates were elec ted by from 5,000 to 10,000 majority, but it would never do to allow so many Democrats to get into Congress. Hence the "loyal men" in that body got up a contest and spent $30,000 of the people's money to prevent these Democratic representatives from get ting their seats. J. Cessna had a fin ger in this pie. Stye P^L PMIUDILPHIA. | Correspondence of the Bedferd Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 4, 1869. THE FAIR. In our last, we promised you some | notes of the Great Fair for the Or phan's Home. We have visited it night and day, and we never beheld a | mo tefairy scene than was presented {in Horticultural Hall. At first you j are almost bewildered by the grand ' and beautiful array around and above I you. Then you are charmed and de '■ lighted with the music, the brilliant streams of light, the surging mass of fashion and beauty, and the elegant handiwork of tender fingers, and cost ly contributions of kind doners on ev ery hand. We do not know that more generous j and substantial sympathies have ever 1 been manifested than in this effort for the Orphans. And with pleasure we say it. Neither have any had rea son to object to the manner in which it has been conducted. There were none of the scenes usually enacted at such places, as lotteries, chancing, and pilfering by ruse. The frequent ways of doubtful propriety, resorted to at such times for the purpose of getting off articles, were discarded, and gentle men could bring ladies there without being pounced upon by harpies or pul led to pieces, in the name of charity by splendid beggars. You could spend your time (and money too, if you wished) without dread, and go home with a light heart, and, we trust, a lighter purse. There were four separ ate departments—The Fair room, the Restaurant, the Art Gallery and Mu seum. When you enter the first, your eye catches sight of the stage which is a scene of enchantment. The back ground is a rich Tropical view with surroundings of rare exotics and South American plants, presenting a life pict ure, such as we often imagine in read ing books of Oriental lands. In the midst of these are the musicians dis coursing sweet strains, and the effect is such as carries you back to the days of Alhambra. And now, on every hand, are tables loaded with every im aginable thing. And if any of your fair readers can mention an article or novelty in the fair line which is not here, we will give them credit for un bounded inventive genius. The first table to the right, as you enter, is a confection table where you can regale your taste from a sugar plum to a Dutch cake as large as a wash tub. Then we have Fancy tables of every description. One of silver ware another of paintings and statuary. The Floral table looks like a summer garden, and affords a pleas aat retreat from the crowd. There is a table from Easton, Rev. Ruthrauff, pastor, (formerly of Schellsburg) and presided over by his accomplished daughter. St. Mark's (Rev. Kunkel man, pastor, formerly of Schellsburg) has large and elegant tables. There is St. Steven's table (Rev. Hunt, pastor, and formerly of Schellsburg) and it is a gem. (What do you think of Schells burg now, Mr. Editor?) Well, in a word, there were twenty four tables and presided over by one hundred and twenty-five ladies. As we pass along we come to "Jacob's Well," and of course you want a drink of that for the name of the thing. Accordingly you pay a little Jacob a dime and he draws you a —glass of lemonade ! Bah! says the horrified Israelite. We come to the office of the President of the Fair, Mayor Fox. We congratulate him upon its success. "Yes," says he, "and lam delighted. But to the la dies belong all the credit—to the la dies." We know what we are talking about when we say that he is sensible and right. And just here is a good place to go off on a panegyric, and say some fine things about woman; but then we hardly have time, and put it off for another occasion. Our readers of the rugged sex can fill in for them selves. In addition to Easton, Bethle ; hem and Norristown and Reading were also represented. But time would fail us to tell of the goods, fancy work, paraphernalia toys, wax-work, pain | tings and curiosties found on these and all the tables. It was an endless maze of varied beauty, splendor and richness, and for two weeks were the ladies con stantly and busily engaged getting off their stock. Much as there was, it gradually melted away, as snow in the sun, and that hall, at firs* crammed and packed with the work of kind hands, was left stripped and forelorn. Down in THE RESTAURANT was a grand place for the followers of Epicurus. The tables night after night were crowded with a hungry throng. And flitting here and there, with waiters in hand, were scores of Philadelphia's beautiful girls. These pretty waiting maids naturally drew down cadaverous looking swells as well as portly men who devoured oys ters and icecream with sqeh*a gusto as put a glow of eminent satisfaction upon the face of the caterer. And what is the reason you always eat more oysters at night and with greater rel ish than at any other time? Now, suppose you add to them the spice of about fifty pretty waiting maids, and one of them asks you, "'How many, Sir? Stewed or fried?" What would you say ? Why about a half ft bushel. Miss, both stewed and fried. And should you ask, "What else have you? .She would answer: We have chicken in all styles, and cold ham, bec^f,snipe, reed birds, bam and eggs, noodle soup, sweet potatoes, duck, fish of every kind, tea and coffee and chocolate ; we have boiled cabbage and turnips, pota toes and celery, piekels and pies, and if there is any dish that we have cot, we will order it for you. And you an swer: That is sufficient, just bring me them t THE ART GALLERY. You must not suppose that a Gal lery ia a place where you will see a lot of "galls." In the Academy of Fiue Arts you will see some of that kind, and occasionally you will see a brace in this one; but here you are borne in to the ideal and dream land, and find a fine collection of elegant paintings and rare statuary. For our part, we never thought there was anything inside of a house so near the divine as an ex quisite painting — except a woman.— And here you have a grand feast of the esthetic. After the dust and ashes of the actual, you can let your soul slip out into the ideal and beautiful, and look thro' these loop holes into the grand and indefinable. That is a poor thought which can lie expressed in words; and that is a very lean feeling which can portray itself with a miser able steel pen or goose quill. But in a Gallery of Art, thought gets loose and flies untamed, and feeling is wrap ped up in itself so as to hold a divine commune with that which outreaches the actual. An Art Gallery is a sweet place, and no one can go from it with out feeling that he is better and happi er. We cannot here run over the paint ings and statuary. Suffice it to say that it was in keeping with the great idea had in getting up the fair. But we cannot say this much of THE MUSEUM. It was a regular "take in and yet every one enjoyed it exceedingly. It consisted of copies of Paintings, Statu ary, &c\, by the great Masters, Miner als, plants, Natural History Speci mens, Curiosities, for sale a lot of WILKESBARRE Ni l COAL which I recommend as of the best quaii fy JOHN W bakndollah Bloody Run Station, oct7m3 DISSOLU TION NOTICE. -The- utu dersigued hereby give notice that they have dissolved the partnership heretofore existing be tween them in the mercantile business, by u,u* u . al consent.
