At the opening of the legislature, on
Tue day, Ith in-t., when the Twenti- i
eth Senatorial District was called, the j
Clerk of the Senate read the certificate
of Hiram Find lay, as Senator elect for j
the District, and also laid before the j
Senate a paper signed by W. C. Hicks,
ofSomerset county, purporting to be a
<. rtificate of the election of Edward
Scull. Mr. Wallace moved that Hiram
Find lay be sworn as the sitting Sena- i
tor, which motion was lost, all the
radical Senators, save Mr. Dowry, of j
Erie, voting against it. Mr. White j
moved to refer the papers in the case j
to a special committee with authority
to inquire into the facts and to report
to the Senate within sixty days. Mr.
Dowry, radical, denounced this course j
as an outrage, an attempt to do a great
wrong not only to Mr. Findlay, the
Senator elect, hut to the people of the I
Twentieth District who would lie w ith
ont representation in the Senate. He
said that there were two papers present
ed ;o the Senate, one regular and legal
in every respect, showing the election
of Hiram Findlay; the other irregular, j
invalid, amounting to nothing more j
than a communication from a single;
individual, certifying the election of
Mr. Scull. The Senate could easily de- j
termine, from these papers, whether
Mr. Findlay or Mr. Scull is entitled to
tin- -eat prima facie. He added that the
rejection of Mr. Findlay's certificate
would bring odium on the radical or
ganization and he would not he a party
to such partisan work. But Mr. Dow
ry'- political associates turned a deaf
ear to his counsel, and Mr. White's
motion was adopted by a vote of 17 to i
16. Such a proceeding was never he
fore attempted in either branch of the
legislature. No committees have ever
before been appointed to revise the
action of a board of district return
judges, as all committees on contested j
seats must be drawn by lot, according
to law, and not appointed, as this one
was, by a partisan presiding officer.
m criuay ia-r. me cuuiunue
projierly styled a committee to
invent an excuse for swindling Hi
ram. Findlay out of his seat in the
Senate made a report. Two of the
three members of the committee, both
bitter and unscrupulous radicals, re
ported in favor of giving the seat,
prima facie , to Mr. Scull, on the
ground that the vote of Allegheny
t iwo-hip, Somerset county, which
gave Mr. Findlay a majority of 40
vote-, could rmt be counted. The
other member of the committee nude
a report declaring Mr. Findlay enti
tled to the seat. A debate aroceon the
-abject, during which Senator Wallace
made a clear and powerful argument
in fa voi of Mr. Findiav's right to the
seat, the strong point on which was
that the two papers construed togeth
er showed that Hiram Findlay has a
majority of all the votes cast in the dis
trict. There was a flutter among the
radical Senator-. Mr. Dowry again
announced liis conviction that Mr.
Findlay was entitled to the -eat. Mr.
Graham, of Allegheny, said he was
not yet prepared to vote on the ques
tion. There were unmistakeahlesigns
of demoralization on the radical sideof
the Senate. Mr Dowry and the dem
ocratic Senators urged an immediate
vote, hut more time was desired by
the radicals and the matter went over
until Tuesday evening of this week.
We are not advised, at this writing,
what lias been the result of the strug
gle. One thing is certain, the seat can
not be given to Scull without the de
liberate disfrnnehisment of the votes
of Allegheny township, Somerset
county.
We will do Mr. Scull the justice to
say that we are convinced that he is
not making this light of his own mo
tion. He has been dragged into the
contest by John Cessna and a few oth
er hangers on of the radical party who
are personally interested in his obtain
ing the seat. When the nomination
of Alexander Siut/.man, last autumn
occasioned a disturbance in the radical
ranks, Cessna determined to take ad
vantage of the state of affairs, by com
pelling Stutzman to withdraw and
nominating Scull in his stead, so that
the latter might resign his office of
A—essorof Internal Revenue, a po
sition which Ce-sna desires to confer
on a certain radical politician of Frank
lin county, with a view of purchasing
the future support of hi- party in that
county. It will ho recollected that
Cessna rati nearly 300 votes behind his
ticket in Franklin, at tlie election in
18CS. He fear-a similar result at the
coming election and hence his anxiety
to make a Senator of Scull in order
that he may u-e the Assessnrship of
Internal Revenue as a bribe to recon
cile the recalcitrants in that county.—
In pursuance of his plan, Oessnacaused
a meeting between Stutzman, Scull
and himself to take place in Philadel
phia, in the latter part of September
last, whereat it was agreed by these
high contracting parties that Stutzman
should withdraw and Scull assume
his place on the radical ticket, whilst
Cessna was to be afforded an opportu
i nity to farm out the Assessorship for
his own personal benefit. This cor
rupt bargain was ratified by the radi
ical standing committees of the sever
al counties composing this Senatorial
district, the voters of the party never
having been consulted at all in regard
tothis Philadelphia nomination. Aud
j now Hiraui Findlay is to be made the .
victim of this foul conspiracy and the I
will of the people of the counties of
Bedford, Fulton and Somerset is to be
set at naught, in order that John Cess
na may be permitted to swap the As
| sessorship of Internal Revenue for the j
support of a few disaffected radicals in
; Franklin county. If the majority of J
the Senate are really base enough to
i carry out this infamous programme, j
the people possess no remedy except i
I the rebuke which they may adrninis- ;
terto its authors at the polls. No de
; cent man, no upright citizens, will fail
to apply it.
THE TBITII AT EAST.
Whenever some peculiar mischief is
meditated in reference to the people of
the South, it is the cue of the radical :
press to invent some tale of horror con- i
cerning their social condition. If "re-j
construction" is to pass through a sec- J
j ondproeessofcongressional distillation, j
astory of the murder of a negro or two is j
concocted; if the second reconstruction ;
is to be doubly refined, a romance con- j
cerning the assassination of a "white ;
loyalist" is invented; and so on to the
end of the chapter of pretexts for con- '
gressional interference with the rights
of the people and the States. Asa- ;
1 trap by the name of Reynolds, who j
has for some time held -way in Texas, j
seems, however, to have come to the
conclusion that his party have practic- j
ed about long enough on the credulity
ot the Northern people. In a report
made to the President, bearing date
Nov. 29, 1869, we find the following:
"After a careful examination of all j
the evidence I have been able to ;
collect from official reports, and the •
statements of officers and citizens ;
unbiased by partisan feelings, I am ;
forced to the conclusion that the a- j
mount of crime committed in thesev- j
eral States of the division is very lit- j
tie greater than before the rebellion, j
.oriulnly vins ml gurnltr Uii> j
reasonably to tie expected at the close j
of an embittered and prolonged civil j
war, when large numbers of lawless
and desperate characters, both at the j
North and in the South, were turned
loose upon society without any legiti
mate meads of support. Certain dis
tricts of country may, and probably j
do, form exceptions to this general re
mark ; but even of these exceptional
eases very few have any partisan char- ,
acter or political significance. Those
who murder and rob, do so simply as |
murderers and robbers, influenced by,
the motives which ordinarily incite
men to commit these crimes. One
of the worst desperadoes in Kentucky
served in the Union army during
I the war; but he and his band now rob
and murder rebelsand loyalists, as may
best suit their purposes, at one time
claiming to lie Kuklux.andat anoth
ior to beanti-KukluXh Although there
may be special organizations of outlaws,
in particular localities, under the name
of Kuklux, I am of the opinion that no
such general organization now exists
i in the Southern States. It is probable,
however, that outlaws not unfrequent
ly assume this name in order to intim
idate tiie weak and credulous, espeeiai
j ly when calculated to increase their
' own importance.
"In regard to the interference of mil
; itary officers in local difficulties under
■ the plea of maintaining peace and good
; order, I think that no such military in
terference should be permitted, except
t on the requisition of the Governor of a
! State, and by order oft lie President, as
I provided by law. The principal occu
! pation of the troop-, in certain locali
ties. has been assisting revenue officers
to execute the revenue laws. It is ve
| ry natural that these officers should
! call for the assistance of troops whenev
j or they can get it, for by this means
I they avoid danger and trouble, and in
; crease their own emoluments at the ex
pense of military appropriations."
Besides exploding the absurd inven-
I tions concerning organized bands of
| desperadoes, said to plunder and kill
' only their political opponents, General
! Reynolds opens the eyes of his party
friends to the existence of a fact in eon
; nection with the occupation of the
| army in the Southern States, which
ought to startle them not a little.—
The troops are principally occupied in
assisting Internal Revenue officers,
j who make it a point to call on them
for aid, not merely to ensure their own
| personal safety, but to enable them to
turn an honest penny by saving the
j expense which would come out of
their own pockets if they performed
! their duties in person! It seems
then, that the large portion of our
standing army which is now stationed
| in the Southern States, is simply the
| posse of Internal Revenue officers who
get handsome salaries for the work
performed by their military assistants.
This faet is but another argument in
favor of a plan by which the federal
; taxes would lie apportioned to the
several State- and the several State
, governments allowed to assess and
! collect them in their own way. The
.
attention of some of our vigilant arul
! thoughtful democratic reformers in
i Congress, 1 called to this report of
I Gen. Reynolds. The opportunity af
forded by its publication should not
pass unimprovi d.

THE MESSAGE OF GOV. GKARV.
The annual message of Gov. Geary,
which appears in our columns this
week, will be read with great inter
est. On the whole it is a statesman-
like aud sensible document, and his
opponents will readily overlook some
crude suggestions concerning national
politics, in their warm appreciation of
his bold, frank and emphatic recom
mendations in regard to the manage
ment of the State finances. The chiefs
of the Treasury combination will de
rive very small consolation from the
perusal of tins document. Having en
tered on a second and last term of ex
ecutive office, Governor Geary mani
fests a strong purpose to cut loose from
the selfish politicians who contributed
so much to bring his former adminis
tration into disrepute. The message
shows a determination to rely on the
intelligence and patriotism of the peo
ple rather than longer trust to the cor
rupt agents of "political intrigue."
On the subject of State finances, a
plain and -u -einct statement of their
condition is presented. The public
debt at the close of the fiscal year,
amounted to $32,814,540 95cents. The
reduction during the year amounts to
$472,406 18. The vicious and corrupt
system under which the public funds
are managed are exposed in the follow
ing vigorous and truthful paragraph,
to which we call the earnest attention of
the reader.
I beg once more to remind the Legis
lature that the salary of the State Treas
urer should at least be equal to that of
the Governor. It is only seventeen
hundred dollars, a sum entirely insuf
ficient to command the services of any
responsible man, who is required to
furnish a bond with good and appro
ved securities, for eighty thousand dol
lars, and to run the risk of handling at
least five or six million of dollars per
annum, without the unlawful use of
the State funds, and subsidies from sour
ces that dare not be revealed to the
public, because they are positively pri -
hibited by law, under penalties \>f no
ordinary magnitude. Yet there are
but few men who have held this office,
however poor they may have been
when they took charge of it, who have
not become rich. There is certainly
some advantage to be gained by the
holding of the position of State Treas
urer, unknown to the public, but which
readily accounts for the disgraceful
scramble, and for the political and mor
al debauchery which the people of this
Slateseem to be doomed annually to
witness, in the election of that officer;
and because of the disgrace it brings
upon their representatives, the people
hang their heads in indignation and
shame. Then, in th name of he good
people of Pennsylvania, ! call upon the
members of the legislature to rise a
bove the murkiness of the polluted at
mosphere of the past, to the true digni
ty of manhood and exalted patriotism,
■<nii purity the election of Treasury, as
will as that of every other officer with
in this Commonwealth, and punish ev
ery one who tampers with the purity of
elections, whatever may be his position
or pretentions.
This is not the invective of demo
cratic newspapers, but the delit>era!e
and careful official language of the
chief magistrate of the Commonwealth.
When he declares that few inen hold
ing the office of State Treasury, in lat
ter years, have failed to enrich them
selves with the public spoils, he states
what has been repeated in a thousand
forms in all the newspapers of the Com
monwealth. This solemn official re
cognition of the shameful fact that tie
nrj >ney in lhe treasury has been u-ed
f>r years as a fund to debauch the leg
islature, cannot fail to arrest the deep
est attention, and quicken the resolve
that a thorough reform in the manage
ment of the finances shall be made.
GovernorGeary states in round numbers
the amount of that unexpected bal
ance which is employed by the Treas
urer in private speculations and in cor
rupting the representatives of the peo
ple. He owes it now to the citizens of
the Commonwealth, as well as to his
own reputation as an executive, that
the reforms which he has indicated
shall be introduced in the government
of the State. He has accomplished but
half his duty in pointing out the
weak places in the system. His
second administration will be an un
happy failure if he shall neglect
to bring all his legitimate influ
ence to bear in repelling the evils of
Which he gives so vivid a description in
his message. If he content himself
merely with this paper pellet at the
ring, lie will have accomplished just a
bout as much as Peter.Van C'orlear did
in his famous war by proclamation a
gainst the Swedes. Unless he shall
sustain himself by staunch, able and
fearless advocates of reform, in the leg
islature, and give them the support of
his administration, all the recommend
ations of his message will be forgotten
in nine days, and the next three years
of his executive career will besignalized
by the same disgraceful scenes at the
Capitol which have marked the first
three years of his term.
The London Economist and the Spec
tator ay some very rabid things of our
two eminent financiers, Messrs. Bout
well and Grant. Reviewing the fiscal
schemes of those gentlemen, as develop
ed in their late reports to Congress, the
Economist indulges in such terms as
"simplicity," "display of ignorance,"
"remarkable blundering," "ignorance
could hardly be exceeded," and the
Spectator calls Mr. Boutwell "a child in
political economy" and "idiotic."
The fifteenth amenduienf was repu
diated by both branches of the New
York Legislature on the Ith lust. In
the Senate Mr. Tweed's resolution to
rescind was adopted, iy a vote of 16 tQ
13, and in the Assembly by 69 to 06—
a strict party division.
In accordance with tie provisions of
the Constitution of the State of Penn
sylvania, the Legislature of the Com
monwealth met at noon on Tuesday,
the 4th inst. The Republicans being
in a majority in each House, the or
ganization was effected by the election
of the candidates for officers of that
party on the first ballot. Charles H.
Stinson was elected Speaker of the
Senate and Geo. W. Hammersly, Chief
Clerk. The House organized by elect
ing B. B. Strang, of Tioga, Speaker
and Gen. Selfridge, Chief Clerk. R.
A. Maekey, the present incumbent
was elected State Treasurer. All these
elections are a complete triumph for
the "Ring," and show that that cor
rupt combination intend to repeat the
outrages of last winter. Honesty will
be at a discount, and vice and corrup
tion will again hold high carnival in
the hails of legislation. What clso
could have been expected ?
HAKBY WHITE, of the State Sen
ate, sought the chairmanship of the
"committee" on the prima facie case
in the Twentieth Senatorial District,
by offering and advocating the resolu
tion to raise that committee, in order
that he might become the instrument
of John Cessna in obtaining from Mr.
Scull the resignation of his office as As
sessor of Internal Revenue. Thomas
Howard was appointed on the same
committee, because of his intimate
personal relatious with Mr. Scull, and
because ho had long ago expressed the
opinion that Fiudlay ought nut to be
come the sitting member. What im
portance can be attached to a report
from a committee thus constituted,
made in defiance of law, and usage and
justice?

The radicals of that State don't want

A FA IR EXCHANGE IS NO ROBBERY.
—Scull is to resign his Assessorship of
Internal Revenue tor the benefit of
John Cessna, and Cessna is to get Scull
into the Senate through the manipula
tion of Harry White and Thomas
Howard.
THE demand that the certificate of
Mr. Findlay shall be disregarded by
the Senate, does not come from the
people of the Twentieth Senatorial Dis
trict, but from some of the Franklin
county radicals who want to be bribed
to support John Cessna for Congress at
the next election.
I r is a wonder that the majority of
the committee appointed to frame
an excuse for swindling Hiram Find
lay out of his seat in the Senate, were
not swept away, like the Black Assizes

SEWS ITEMS.
Governor Burback, of Dakota Ter
ritory, forwards to the Indian Office a
report announcing the killing, Noveni- i
her 3, of three Arickarees, two women
and one man, and the wounding of a
young girl by the Sioux supposed to j
belong to the Red River Agency. The ,
party had been gathering fuel six miles |
above the village, and were floating
down the river on a buffalo boat, when !
they were fired upon from the bank by
a large war party of Sioux. After .
killing the Indians the party tired the
pararieat many places, down as far as
the Knife River, thus driving all the ,
game out of the country and destroy- |
ing the pasturage for the herds this
winter. The damages caused by the
fire will reachslo,ooo. Theagent fears
that a number of cattle will have to be
killed to avert the deplorable condi
tion of affairs that prevailed last win
ter, and says he will not hesitate to
prevent starvation by the sacrifice of
the herd, unless otherwise ordered.
The man killed by the Sioux wasoneof
the best hunters in the tribe, and his
deathisa severe blow to many dependent
on him for mea.. The Indians attacked
belonged tea tribe very friendly to the
whites; and the Sioux have, on many
occasions, visited their abuse and out
rages upon them.
The Spanish crisis continues. Mad
rid is in a ferment. All sorts of rumors
fill the air. One is that the Cortes will
proclaim a dictatorship for four
months. Another that the old minis
try will retain power. The excited
condition ofthecountry may be imagin
ed by the circumstance that two at
tempts have been made to assassinate
the Regent. It was but a few months
since that Prim narrowly escaped deith
iu the same way. The canard started
here a few days ago to the effect that
the Cuban Junta, in New York
had ordered the insurgents to lay down
their arms, has reached Madrid. The
dispatch says that the news created a j
profound sensation. The Cuban diffi
culty complicates the Spanish situation, i
and Prim may be able to turn the re- ;
port, false as it is, to good account for
himself.
In the southern part of Graves coun- i
ty, Ky., on Sunday evening, the 12th j
ult., the person of Miss Dick was out- i
raged by two negro men. They were
arrested on the Wednesday following j
and examined by a magistrate the
same day, who held them for trial, and j
ordered their commitment to the jail |
in May field. They started to May- j
field in custody of a constable, and had
gone about eight miles. When three !
miles from May field they were met by ;
four men in disguise, who ordered the
officer to hand over the blacks to their
charge. Being overpowered, the offi
cer was compelled to do so, and the
negroes were then shot through the
head. A number of balls were fired
through each, causing immediate
death. The bodies were taken to May
field, and an inquest held upon them
on Thursday, when a verdict in accord
ance with the facts was rendered.
There are two reports from the West
Indies about the fate of Salnave, the

and together with his fourteen sons
(prolific father), blew himself to im
mortal smash. If this is the heroic et.d
of the last darkey President, Wendell
Phillips has another great subject for

gerous to use unless with great care), that will
unlock the gall-bladder and starts the secretions
of the 1 ivor 1 ike Sehenck's Mandrake Pill!
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption
Sehenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of. assists the
stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, aiid it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
consumption is, they try to do too much; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers, locking
up the secre'ions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or lever. Re
move the cause, and tuey will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Cataarh, Can
ker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stom
ach are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, ofcourse thelungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ab
scesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast de
caying In such cases what must be done? It
is not only the lungs that are wasting, but it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of food Now tbe
only chance is to take Sehenck's three medicines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the
patient will begin to want food, it will digesteasi
ly and make good blood : then the patient begins
to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy anl well. This is the only way
to cureconsumplion.
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Sehenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all billions complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
his physicians having pronounced his case hope
loss and abandoned him to his fat e. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since bisrecovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr.
Sehenck's preparations with tbo same remarkable
success. Full directions accompanying each,
make it not absolutely necessary to personally see
Dr Schenck, unless the patients wish their lungs
examined; and for this purpose he is professional
ly at bis Principal Office, Philadelphia, every
Saturday, where all let ers for advice must be ad-
