THE LEGISLATURE.
The Pennsylvania Legislature met on the 4th
inst. Hon. John Cresswell, Loco, of Blair,
was elected Speaker of the Senate, by a vote of
17, to 16 for Glenni W. Scofield, opp , and
Wui. 0. A. Lawrence, cpp. of Dauphin, was
elected Speaker of the House, by a vote of 67,
to 32 for P. A. Gritman, Loco.
The vote in opposition caucua for Speaker of
the House, was as follows:
Ist vote. 2d vote. 3d vote.
McClure, 23 24 30
Lawrence, 29 30 31
Chase, 11 9
Scattering, 3 3 3
The name of Mr. Chase was withdrawn after
the second vote had been taken.
It affords us much gratification that Mr.
Lawrence was selected. He is an upright, hon
orable man, aod will make an officer of whom
the opposition may bo proud.
We have not yet seen the Message of the
Governor, but will endeavor to lay it our
readers in our next.
LOAVES AND FISHES!
The Auditors of this County met on Mon
day last to audit the accounts of the Treasur
er. There was u great contest for the Clerk
ship, au office with a salary of just §25 00!
John W. Lingenfelter, Esq., an old resident
of the County, and who (we know of nothing to
the contrary) was always a Locofoco, was an
applicant, and a person of the name of Meyers,
lately, we believe, sent forth from Somerset on
a pilgrimage, in search of employment of some
kind or other, was the other applicant for the
snug little bonum magnum of §25.00! The
said Meyers, it appears, lately turned up as
one of the publishers of the Gazette, and as he
is one of the renegades that left the Know
Nothing party, sud consequently could not
tun VP ,n ,h tlmun.- ~ county,
his claims for the sugar plum could not be set
aside iniirtly! Mr. Lingcufelter, who has
been Poor House Steward, and is au Attorney
far superior to the cast off rubbage from Som
erset, and who, also, looms up as the next can
didate for District Attorney, was not to be re
fused intirely, either ! Now, mark how i7i
guntly the Auditors, dear, good souls, and the
two talented applicants, who wished to serve
their country for a day or two, and the $25.00 •
compromised the matter, and the $25.00!
They agreed that both should be appointed
Clerks, and divide the plum between them,
$12.50 eath! What a wonderful appoint
ment! The whole wo:k, scarcely occupying
two daya, and yet the Clerkship is cut in two,
to help to feed a hungry patriot, who is wil
ling to serve in any parly for the loaves and
fishes —even though they be small loaves and
small fishes ! For the first time in the history
of the County, we believe, there have been two
Clerks to the Auditors! Next year,probably,
there will be some more applicants for the
Clerkship, and the Auditois, following the ex
ample of the illustrious Court House officials,
can manufacture a half-dozen clerkships out of
the one, and raise the salary too ! The Som
erset pilgrim, with $12.50 in his pocket, strut
ted tbe streets very consequentially for a few
days after—and well be might, for it was tbe
only trust of any kind he ever received from
any body, and be novr cbeiiabes tbe scriptural
maxim, that "a prophet is not without honor,
save In his own country and in his own
house
WHO'S AFE4RD ?
In the last Gazette, under tbe bead of "per
sonal," the bum sixpenny lawyer, who never
had a brief, sod never will, makes some very
serious threats, about our "proving our charg
es m Court," or "to make good iu a more sum
mary and less peaceable manner."
To tbe first threat we reply that a fellow
who libels-persons ir. almost every Dumber ef
bis paper, should be tbe last to threaten suits,
when tbe truth is forced home upon him in a
manner (bit don't favorably impress tbe com
munity in regard to bis past political life.
Io regard to "a mora summary ncd lc*a
peaceable manner," we have no fears, and feel
peifeotly easy, as this fellow has not the blood
>o attack any man openly and boldly. Judg
ing from his countenance, ho might with a blud
geon, do it behind one's back, in the bully
Brooks and Bill English sty le, however !
THE NEW CENT.—WE U/o indebted to a
friend in Philadelphia, for a couple of tbe new
cents. They Hie near (he size of (he last coin
of the sumo denomination, but instead of the
apology for an eagle on Le one side, ih-'re is
the head of an lodun giri. (Jn the reverse,
the wn-ash i* smaller; ard the coiD i* a little
thicker On the whole, the now cent is a de
cidca improvement.
NEW YEAU.— This is Our first number in the
New Year. Wo hope to send our paper through
out its entire length to all our old subscribers,
aod to inaDy new ones also. It should bo the
duty of our friends to use their influence iu se
curing a large circulation to (he INQUIRER; up-
OD it much depends. If the paper had as large
a circulation as it ought, Bedford County would
be always right, politically. We will send the
INQUIRER, gratis, for one year, to any one who
procures us five uew subscribers, with the cash
in advance. To all, we wish a happy year,
and that our slow friends may be more punctu
al throughout tbe present year.
SOMETHING FOR THE CURIOUS.—A short
timo ago, Mr. Isaac Clark, of Napier Township,
iu this Couuty, killed a cow which ho had fat
tened for beef. In her stomach wero found
over 160 nails and tacks of different sizes and
kinds—the points of some as sharp as nee
dles—also a piece of iron hoop, about 3 inches
in length. The nails were in bunches, sur
rounded by u kind of mucus. How she got
them is unknown. She was m good health,
and made firstrate beef, notwithstanding her
ostrich-like propensities. Tbe nails can be
seen at this office.
The Gazette of last week attempts to get up
a controvery between the different frieuJs of
the Bedford Railroad. We did not intend to
detract from the merits of aDy one on that sub
ject, but wo would simply remind thai paper
that a controversy might do no good for its par
ticular friend.
FILIBUSTERS. —The steamer Susan, wh : <v ,-r t
escaped with filibusters some days ago, was
wrecked on Glover's coral reef; the passengers
were saved, but the vessal was a total 10-s.
1 Tbe filibusters were brought to Mobile, by the
British steamer Basilisk, where the poor devils
were received wiih much joy by their friends.—
We hope this will end all such raids.
Senator Douglas has uist with very warm re
ceptions from his friends, on his way from the
South to Washington, at New York, Philadel
phia, Baltimore, &■;.
WHAT IS LEGAL TENDER.
Some people are at a loss to know what is a
legal tender of money. Most persons are great
ly in ertor in supposing thai cents are a legal
tender for any amount, and sometimes captious
people make large payments in copper coin,
which creditors suppose they ure obliged to re
ceive—from the fact that it is coined at the
mint, and bears the imcyess of t v ~ rT
upon it. brora the following, whioii is a synop
sis of the act of Congress upon the subject, tt
will be seen what is and what is not a legal
tender. Tbe law regulating the payment of
debts with coin, provides that tho following
coin be legal tender :
1. All gold coin ut their respective values for
debts of any
2. The half dollar, quarter dollar, half dime
and quarter dime, at their respective values for
debts of any amount under tive dollars.
3. Three cent pieces tor debts of any amount
under thirty cents; and
4. By the law passed at the last session of
Congress, we may add one cent pieces for any
amount under ten cents.
By the laws of Congress passed some four or
five years ago, gold was made the legal tender
for large amounts. Those who, to get rid of
large quantities of cents aud small coin, some*
times pay their bills with it, to tho annoyance
of the creditor, wiil perceive that there is a
stoppage to that antic by the law.
"THE IXT MAT FEESII PARTf."
John Mitchell, the Irish refugee, has invent
ed a new name for the Democratic party. Af
ter noting the election of Gov. Meitae, of Mis
sissippi, on the platform of re-opening the slave
trade, says ;
•'What Southern statesman will next have
the pluck to plant himself on tho honest human
flesh platform* It is the true Democracy, fur
it will abolish monopoly; it is the best Know-
Nothingirm, for it wiil enable Americans to
rule America, (which the English and French
do at present,) and, more thau nil, it is the
truest humanity and justice towards both whites
and blacks."
"HUMAN FLESU PLATFORM" is good. It is
descriptive and complete. We thank the Irish
demagogue for teaching us the words. —Pitts.

MISSISSIPPI BEADY FOB WAB—LIER ARM
ORY. —It will be remembered that Jeff Davis
recently counseled the Sovereign State of Mis
sissippi to prepare for war. He told her Leg
islature to prepare 'fixed ammunition,' to con
vert muskets into Minnie rifles, to cast cannou,
and be ready to blow to tbe flinders of ever
lasting smash all the pesky Abolitiouists who
would dare to plant their feet upon tbe hullow
ed soil of that Sovereign Slate. Well, the
armory of this 'Sovereign State' has been ex
amined, and we are indebted to the Vicksburg
Whig for tbe followiug inventory of tbe 'cir
cumstance of,' discovered to be on hand:
4 fliut-lockjmuskets, all rusty, and no breech
es to at least two.
7 bayonets—rusty, with no points.
A piin of belts -scd scabbards, but no swords.
50 car ridge boxes.
Tho Whig add?:
"We hare now 5 Major Generals, 10 B'ig
adier Gonrrals, 00 Coluueis, 00 Lieutenant
Colonels, 00 Majors, aud wiil soon have 000
Cnp'ains, 1200 Licutenait*, 4SoO Sergeants
arm 4800 Cotporals. ve are happy to inform
thorn, however, that we have no privates—the
Legislature havmg dispensed with that useless

MORTAUA CASE PARALLELED.
Ihe reteuiion by the Pope of the abduct i J
child Mortars, had its counterpart in a case
"tliniii latciy occurred in England. A Protes
tant British Sergeant of Marines, named Race,
who was killed in the Russian war, left his
children by will, to the care of their mother,
who was a Catholic, "feeling confident," he
said, "that .she would do justice to them as a
wife and mother." One of the children,named
Aliciu, was placed iu the Sailors' Orphan
Schooi, at llampstead. After a time her moth
er wisbed to retuovo her to a Catholic school,
but the former refused to give her up. The
child was brought, at the mother's instance be
fore the Court of Queen's Bench, by a writ of
habeas corpus, wbereupon Lord Campbell, de
livering the unanimous opinion of tbc court,
sa id—"We are bound, iu the discharge of our
duty, to order that the infant, Alicia Race be
now delivt-ied up to her mother." Notwith
standing this decision by the Chief Justice of
England, a bill in chancery was fifed by the
Bailors School Committee, praying the Chan
cellor to make the girl a waid in chancer),
and on the lltb of February last, the Vice
Chancellor adjudged that she should be brought
up iu the Protestant faith, appointed guardians
over her, and ordered her to be given up to tho
Sailors' School. It remains to be seen wheth
er tuc press, which, as a genera! thiug, spoke
very indignantly in reference to the Mortar#
case, will, iu the same manner, treat the Alicia
Itaco case. We await the course of the press
on this subject with some interest.—Pennsyt
vaniun.
We would hardly have thought that even a
Loco foco, in the fifty-eighth year of the nine
teenth century, could be found ready to attempt
to excuse the iuhuiuaii and dastardly outrage
of stealing a child from it* mother, by trving
to tiud parallels ii atrocity, •>
If tbe story related here be true, tho Vice
whar.ee'nor has done wrong; but there is no
kind of parallul iu the two eases. It appears
that the mother placed her child in the School,
and afterwards, no doubt at the instigation of
Jesuitical Priests, desired to place it in a Cath
loic School. In the other case a child was ta
ken and kept forcibly from its parents. Notte
but a Locotoco could be blind enough to tail to
see the difference. No one who has a >p>rk of
humanity in his heart can regard, with any feel
ings but those of scorn and detestation, the
out)age of the Church of Koine upon Mortara's
child. It was utterly inexcusable, aud no one
who dares to speak his mind freely, but must
condemn it. Were Locofoco papers not bound
baud and foot to the Juggernaut of Jesuitism,
they would be loud enough in condemning the
cruel act of those old-hearted Priests.—Dm

The Two Parties.
To those who are io tho habit of regatding

wo commend the following table, compiled from

States, with their respective white Population,
are "• -- —• •

Democrats aro fond of applying to their op
ponents the epithet of "Black Republicans," as
if they in some way derived their strength from
the African race. Wc suggest to them a care
ful examination of the above figures, winch show
that the Republican is pre-eminently the party
of tbe White Men of the Union, whilu the Dem
ocratic only maiutains its power at a!! by three
million blacks held in slavery, which it repre
sents in Congress and the Electoral College, al
though it will not allow them to vote either for
Electors or Congressmen.— Jilb. Eos. Jour.
in£ OPPOSITION IN VIRGINIA.
We observe that the people of Virginia, op
posed to Mr. Letcher, iuciuding Whigs, Amer
icans, and disaffected Democrats, arc moving
towards tbe nomination of a candidate for Gov
ernor to oppose l)iui. It will be recollected
how fierce and unrelenting was the warfare—
the internal quarrel—regarding Letcher. The
Petersburg Convention, which brought him
forth, exhibited irreparable dissatisfaction. 1<
is positively kuown that the Democratic nomi
nee cannot carry the full strength of his party.
Tbc indications are almost certain that an op
position nomination will be.aiade; and this nom
inee to be a liberal, conservative Democrat.—
Uuder such circumstances, with proper unity
and an approved standard-bearer, with the De
mocracy fragmented, we see no good leason why
tiio opposition—or people's patty of Virginia,
if sucli it may be called—shout t not triumph.
Senator Douglas is expected in Washington
about the middle of January. The correspon
dent of the Press boldly charges a design up
on hostile panics to put him iu such a position,
uu his arrival at the Capitol, that ho will It-el

a duel! It is probable that the writer's fears
in 'his case have run aw 3 y with his judgment.
TLe St. Louis Republican of Friday declares
that there is no truth in tho rumor that Judge
Douglas, iu a pallio letter, declines being a
