BEDFORD INQUIRER. BEDFORD, Pa. Friday Meriting. Mov. 23, IS6O. "Eg Aft LESS AND FREE /' I>. OVER—Editor and Proprietor. The next Coiigrress. Elections havo been held for Congressmen in nineteen States. In both branches the dis tinct Republicans uill be iQ a minority. Whether the mnjorijy composed as it is of the friends of Bell, Douglas and Breckinridge, can be efficiently controlled or not is for time to determine. In Massachusetts the Republi can Congressman, Buriingamo, and in New Jersey. Gov. Pennington, have been defeated. These losses arc to be regretted We have, however, gained one in Delaware and oue in Wisconsin. We gain one aud lose three in New York. The delegations from the West ern States appear to be without change. Nor GUILTY. —Iloeloff toe oouduotor, and Armstrong the engineer, of the train which killed two men iu llnctugdou during the en campment, were up for trial in that Court last week. The charge of manslaughter could not be sustaiued against either of tbem by the evidence, and consequently both were acquit ted. The evidence went to show that the engineer and brakesmen done ali io their pow er to check the speed of the train before it passed the Station, but the oonditiou of the track, which was very slippery, caused by tain and being walked upon by the crowd above and below the Station, made it impossible to check iinspeed, the wheels slipping on the rails after they had beeu locked. The only sure way to avoid accidents of the kind is to keep off the ttaek at all times. REPUBLICS NOT UNGRATEFUL. —The year iu which Mount Vernon become the property of the Union by the efforts of American wo men, consummated the purchase of the Grulii by the school children of Switzerland, at a cost of sil,ooo. The Grulii, near Aldorf, and the birthplace of Tell, i* the spot where, in the fourteenth century, three brave uien en tered into u secret combination to rid toe country of its oppressors, a movement which soon extended to the other cantons. The sale of this plaoe. dear to ever Swiss, was con cluded on the ono uuodredth birthday of Schiller. HOWARD ASSOCIATION. —This institution, established by -.pectad endowment for the re lief of the sick and distressed, is one of the truly benevolent enterprises of the a'ge. It enjoys a wide reputation in the cure of nil dis eases to which flesh is hoir. Its services are dispensed to those in extretn* poverty free cf charge. he call the special attention of lite afflioted to their advertisement in our adver tising columns The income of John C. Fremont from Lis gold mines is set down at $2,000 per day.— His establishment is something immense. He runs 88 stampers by wat u r power night sod day, crustiiog 90 tntu of quartz every 24 hours, which is brought to the mill on a private railroad. A net income of §600.000 a yea', if properly invested, will make him rich, and "Jessie" is probably HS well off as if he had been elected President. Virginia has gone for Bell by a small plu rality. Missouri it is now thought has gone for Douglas by a small plurality. Late news from California leave the t*tate uncertain be tween Liueoln and Douglas, with the chances in favor of Douglas. Oregon, it is thought has gone for Lincolu. This would increase Lin coln's vote to 176 electors or 49 over all op position- THK TKILMPH IN ILLINOIS.— Tho Republi can triumph in this State was thorough sua complete. Besides giving a large majority for Lincoln, tt has elected a Republican Governor and State Legislature. This secures the re election of Judge Trumbull to the United States ""Serrate, linking the victory doubly glorious 1 REPUBLICANS IN TUB SOUTH. —The Re publicans had a plurality of over £OO in St. Louis, „iid 200 tu Wilmington Delaware. They polled over a thousand votesiu Baltimore, and £OO in Wheeling and Ohio county, Vir ginia Who will say that light is uot break tug ou the South ? Lincoln polled live hundred votes in Alle gheny coniny, Maryland. The probability is that the Republican vote in that State will exceed tw > thousand. In Newport aud Cov ington, Kentucky, Lincoln had more votja than Breckinridge. tl sunning, the kidnuppVs trial, has been put off to next Court. He ut uow out under bond ot only §l,OOO. The general impression is, that be will forfeit his bail, and put out. Next Thursday, instead of last., as we stinted Jasd week, is Thanksgiving day. PEOPLE'S MEM. Pursuant to notice B very Urge meeting as sembled in the Court House on Tuesday even ing laat, for the purpose of congratulating each other upon the result of the late elections. — The meeting was called to order by the ap poiutuieut cf Capt. GK.O. S. MOLLIN, of Napier as ['resident-, G. It. HOLSIXOER, of Middle Woodberry, J. M. BAR.NDOLLAR of West Providence, Wit. IvittK of St. Clair, Col. J. F. Low BY of Broad Top, JO.VA. FLCHTNER, E.-q , of Londonderry, SAMUEL SHAFER of Union, G. \V. HOUSEHOLDER, Esq., of East Providence, and Dr. WM. BURCH of South Woodberry, as Vice Presidents; and Josiah Penrose of St. Clair, and David F. Mann of Bedford Borougb, as Secretaries. Alter the organization of the meetiug, Hon. Alex. King offered the Resolutions, to be found below, which were adopted unanimously. llou. F. Jordan was then called upon, and respond ed in quite a leugthy speech, m which he was frequently applauded. Hon. A. King, then addressed the crowd in some pertiuent remarks, after which the meeting adjourned with three o'oeers for our gallant standard berers iu the late contest. Resolved, That the great results of the re cent. election in the United States afford abundant cause for sincere and heartfelt con gratulation on the part of all who contributed to produce them, no; because a victory over a party has been achieved, but because the prin ciples advocated by the fathers of the republic have tieeu triumphantly vindicated and sus tained, thus giving assurance of a speedy re turn, in the administration of the government, to a sound policy ami H true political faith. Resolved, That, us citizens of Pennsylva nia, whe have so long and so grievously suf fered under the baneful policy of the so called Democratic party, we bail the prospect now presented of liberal encouragement to her great industrial interests, aud a renewal of the good times that followed the Tariff act of 1842. Resolved, That wo have advocated the elec tion of Andrew G. Onrfiu, and of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin, solely with the hope of establishing the principles uud promo ting the interests we regarded as iuvolvcd in the suceess of these oaudidalis, Hnd that as long as they steadfastly stand by and maiutiin theui, by all the influence in their power, we will yield to them our cordial support. Resolved, That we deplore and lament the madness and folly that proposes disunion and secession, on the flimsy pretext that a majority of the people of the IJuited States have exercised the right of elevating to the Chief Magistracy the candidate of their choice, and stuceroly trust that the good sense and patriot ism of our {southern brethren will indued an early abandonment of such a scheme. Resolved , That in the present state of af fairs, it is the duty of the people everywhere to express and maintain their Sdelity to the Union of the State*, and pledgo themselves to the support and maintenance of the rights of the people in every Stat*, slaveholding or free, but at the same tim to declare their readiness to stand by and defend the Union iu every emergency. Resolved, That we have the fullest confi dence in the conservative views of the Presi dent elect, and that when he assumes the reins of government, he will provo himself to be the Piosideut of Hie whole country, and discharge the high functions of his office according to the letter and spirit of tbe Constitution, aud with a due regard to the rights of every part of the Uniou. The South Carolina Legislature. The proceedings in the South Carolina L-gis lature are decidedly interesting at this time. The following is from the account of the Sen ate proceedings on Saturday iast : Mr. Rhett, from the Committee on the Col lege, Education, aud Religion, presented u favorable report on the House special eomuiit tbe iu relation to a day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer, wtiieh was concurred in and re turned to the House. ,Wo shouid think it very appropriate for South Carolina to set apart a day for fasting, humiliation and prayer, and it was peculiarly proper that a report for such a purpose should bo made by Mr. Khett. In the House, a financial measure beiug un der consideration. Mr. De Saussure thought if tho House un derstood the nature of the bill it wculd meet with singular unanimity. Tho bill has three clauses: First, to suspend the act of 1857, requiring the bauk to have one-third gold aud one-ibird silver iu its treasury, for two-thirds of its issue : the second clause proposes that the penalty involved by the act of 1840 be suspended until 1862 ; aud the other clause, to suspend the act of 1852, which forbids the t.mks from payiug out from their counters the bills of other batiks. To the committee it had appeared a wise and discreet measure to give t lie people a much facility as-possible iu carryiug out the revolutionary spirit of tho State. In giving the banks this facility, the committee agreed with singular unauimity, and proposed the two additional sections, as uu amendment, to give still more security to tho people. The bill al.so the following reso lution : Resolved, That the resignation of the Hon. James Chesuut, as one of the United States Senators from South Carolina, be accepted, uu i that what under any other circumstances would have tieen regarded with regret is now recognized as an act of loyalty au.l de votion to the State of South Carolina. Ihe following resolutions were effofed iu the House by Mr. Simouton : Resolved,'i hat his Excellency the Govern or be authorized to call for and secure tbe services of ten thousand voluutecrs, for the defence and protection of toe State. That these volunteers, as they shall bo received, shall be divided, uudcr the supervision of the Governor, into regiments of artillery, light infantry and infantry, and into brigades and divisions, so that no company shall consist of more than one hundred privates, wi:h proper offi-ers, commissioned aod uon-comujirsiouod, BEDFORD IBJUfJIREK. no regiment of more than ten companies, no brigade of mora ti ati three regiments, no di" vision of more three brigades. That tlie re spective companies, rcgimeuts, brigades and divisions shall elect their own officers, pursuant to the mode prescribed in the act of 1841, to i which offices any citizen cf this State shall be j eligible. That the said cottjpatnes, regiments, i brigades, and divisions shall he provided with the best arms and equipments, und shall be drilled and instructed at such times and places as ihe Governor may prescribe. Resolved, that Ins excellency the Governor be authorized to call for and to receive the services of volunteers to act as cavalry ; aud ; that there shall not be received more than two | troops of cavalry from each of the present ; brigades of the State, which volunteers shall | be formed into troups. regiments, and brigades, I under the supervision of the Governor, ■ ieh troop to conai-t of no more ibau sixty-four privates, with ihe proper commissioned :;id nou-commissioned tfiioeis, aud uo regiment of ; more thau ten troops, and ID brigade of more ■ thau three regiments. That the officers of the | said troops, regiments, aud.brigades shall be j elected us heretofore provided for office: sof ; iuf.iulry, and thai said troops, i.g mem.-, and brigade-shall bo armed and tquipped in the best possible muuuer, aud bo nulled and lU i etruoied at sueli times, iu sue'i iinen r, uui at i such places a the Governor iinv direct. Iu tne Senate, again, the bill to call a Gnu i veutioriof tbeSiate under consideritiou : Mr. Riiett said that they had now arrived at | the end of the great Legislative struggle. He i thanked bis God that lie hit i lived to see t'.— : This was a great day. It was to witness the : beginning of a movement wtitch was to shake i this continent to its Very centre. 'lhe revo lution wis now HI its cradle, and IN: was proud | that it had r.cvtt r...-erv d for our no ble little | irtalC 'o tie u> author. lie felt that We were I nb oit fo lay the found ttiuu of a republic which would be, iu iis dost ny, ureal, glorious, aud happy for u ..u oar pott rity. For the laquiier. Mr. EDITOR: —Ihe election is over, arid the I re-uh known. Yet the majorities everywhere ; have goue fur he von I the expectations of the ' most sanguine Republican, an 1 especially the overthiow of shun Democracy in Bedford Co. jby such a hand-owe majority. The lotiueuoe : ot fchB,Tat), and whiskey, was not fell quite is strong as in the October election, aud '.bis will account, in par", tor our gains in Bedford | Cuuuty. We claim to be the hauuer Township, und 1 think we are entitled to if, although wo must attribute iu p.-.rt our success to a would-be grand Duuiocraiie rally held in Woodbury a few days previous to ibe election. The ora tors were one Irishman, J. R. Flock, j who made a pretty respectable speech:) then fdllOw j ed the great t xpounitr of Loco o foro j merly a Know Nothing agent ui S >ut*rs*t Go., j and at pre-ont the editor of the Bedford d for a set of j political gamblers, who are traitors to the i Union, and are aspiring to tear it into frug ] ineiit', in case the majority of too people of the United States prefer somebody else to i govern tlieui instead of those Southern firc j cat irs who are now holding the reins of our j Government ? But the 4:h of Mireh is coming, when Lin j culn will be inaugurated, and the government placed on a footing that wi,l bo creditable to ■ our uation; and if, after his inauguration, such traitors as W Le, lanjey A C'>. continue their | treasonable designs, they will share the fate of Old John Brown and his niggers. Yes, hang them as high as Harnm! Much credit is due to James Madara, Esq., for his inanly efforts in bringing out the voter* of Blooinfield. They came in wagons, to with in a short distance of \V mulberry, where tbey were :net by tlie Woodherry Republican Club, and martial band, when they all got out of I their wagons, formed themselves ino single tile, and with banners, mottoes and music at ! the head, (by order of Gapt. George Strayer) i they marched through town to tho polls aud 1 deposited th<-ir votes, an ! left again in a few hour-, peaceably aud respectably. i'hc schools of Middle Woodberry Town ship all opened on he |£t!i inst., and are promising tuir te advance the cause of educa tion. Much good feeling exists between the ' Toaehere and Directors, which is an omen of j good -uecet-s to the schools. The selection of I Mr. Stgifoo-, us County Superintendent, is i considered it vety good and appropriate one. ■ Toe Directors have also been successful in se j lecting a set of good and accomplished fcaacb j 11.

GRAND JUBILEE. j Mr. OVER :—Tho Republicans of St. Clair and Union Townships met at Plcasautville on | Saturday, the 17th itist , and held a grand jubilee over tho recent election of our great standard bearers, Abraham Lincoln and liao i nibal Hamlin. I will now proceed to give you a programme, of tho day and evening: Youog America raised a polo at 3 o'olook, l\ M., and a large banner, with the names of Abraham Lincoln ami Hannibal Hamlin in scribed thereon. A procession of 40 horsemen wos formed at 4 o'clock, P. M. Tho imititioo of Douglas : and his mother was well performed on horse , back. At niglu the Republicans of Pleasant vil In I hud their bouses illuminated, which made a grand appearance. Then procession of foot men was formed, numbering about four hnu ■ dred, and marched around the towu, giving 5 three cheers at every Republican bouse for j Lincoln aud Hamlin. Sever*! transparencies were carried in the procession, bearing tbo names of Lincoln and Hamlin, and various oiber mottoes. After the marching was over, the immense crowd gathered around the Young Amencau pole, where J. H. Filler, Esq., was expected to addreas the audience. J. C. Wright, of Bedford, brought the news of the accident that happened Ml*. Filler, and of course all excused hiui. Wm. Kirk, Esq., was then oalled upon to address his fellow citizens. He held his lis teners in iapt attention to a oaltn and argu mentative speech of great length. During the speaking, he was often interrupted with cheers. Morris Walker was then called on, arid spoko for a short time about the course ho wished us to pursue. Dr. Migriff was then called, aud addressed the meeting. * Henry B. Mock was also called, and stated that he was and is a Democrat, and that he could only fitid the principles now in the Re publican party. (Mr. Mock is a straight-out.) J. 11. Wright. Esq., was then Called uu, aud gave us a short tut a telling speech on the question of amalgamation, which was listened to with attention. N. il. Wright, of Picasantvilie, acted, as Chief Marshal, and Mahlou Penrose, of Fisb ertown, as Assistant. Ine (Jbiet Marshal moved to adjourn by giviug tbree cheers for Liueolu and Hatuliu. M. W.

Louis Democrat gives an amusiug acoouut of the reception of the election returns, on Tuesday night, at Springfield, 111., the home of Mr. Linoolu, the Piesideut elect. Wc make a few extracts : Scattering returns from Wisconsin came uloug, mixed iu with news disnatches, indicat ing republican gains. Ten o'clock struck, and the inquiry for New Yoik began to grow im patient, "Why don't we have something from New York 1" and "I wish we could get word from New York," was the eurrout expression. Soon alter came the announcement that Wheel ing had given 6UO votes for Lincolo ; Balti more, 1,062: aud Alexandria, Va., 10 repub lican votes ; aud little Delaware, 200 majori ty in Wilmington, and a gain of a republican (Jungressuiau. These bits of news from Vir ginia, Maryland, Missouri and Delaware, were duly communicated io the Stare-house, and produced a fresh ootbuist of enthusiasm. About midnight a dispatch arrived at the telegraph utliee from Siuieou Draper, announc ing that the city of New York complete gave toe fusiontsts only 27,600. B was carried to Mr. Lincoln, and a implicate sent to the State House. Jt is utterly impossible to describe the scene which cu.-ued. As Mr. Lincoln read it, ladies and gentlemen closed iu and over whelmed him with congratulations. "Oh, you are elected now," said the ladies, and "It is all safe," said the gentlemen. At the Statu House it was tivc times as bad. Men pushed each other—threw up their hats— hurrahed —cheered for Lincoln—cheered fur Trumbul!—cheered for New York—cheered for everybody—and souie actually laid down ou ;bu carpeted floor and rolled over aud over. It was some tnuo before order could Le re stored to read tbe dispatch from Draper a secoud time —"New York 50,000 majority for Lincoln !" And then another fceue —"Did you hear that"—Where's Douglas"—"llit . inui agaiu"—"Three cheers fur the Empire State." These are only a sample of the re marks. The applause was tremendous. Tbe Illinois State House uuver heforo heard such a noise, and probably never will again. It is beyond description, aud as this was the culminating point of doubt, groups commenced to leave— not >o go to bed —but to let the town know the result. Some went one way, and some uuoih er, yelling like demons,# "New York 50,000 majority lor Lincoln 1" "Whoop, whoop, hurrah Aud Springfield went off like one immense Cabuoo repoit, with sboutiug from houses, shouuug (torn stoics, shouting trom housetops, and shouting everywhere. Parties rau through tne streets rouging "Alut i gUd I've joiued tbe republicans," till they were too hoarse to speak. SIGNIFICANT. —Kentucky aud Oregon have repudiated Breckinridge aud Laue. Georgia has repudiated Johnson. Massachusetts uas repudiated Everett. llliuoL has eudorsed Lin cola Jay 15,000 majority, and Maine has eu doisct iiaiuiin by 20,000 maj.

It is, nevertheless, a dis- I grace that there is not a single montinent iD France, not even over his grave, to the memo ry of tbe great and pure patriot. In France there are so many parties and so mmy politi ! cal opinions, that it is not strange, perhaps, that no one is found to take the initiative in sueb a measure, for here the memory of Lafay ette has still enemies as well as friends; but tbe Americans, who only know Lafayette as the generous friend and accomplished soldier could, with propriety, take the initiative. Now AND THEN.— The Press of Wednesday morning last, had the annexed short editorial, comparing the result of tho election of tbe prc cediug day with that of years previous: "Yesterday there was stuck up at all the polls of this city, by order of Mr. Buchanau'a office-holders, a large placard, at the bead of which, iu large letters, was of John W. Forney!'' The effect of this war of Mr. Buchanan's Administration upon John W. For ney and ail other Democrats who opposed Lis treason to the parry, may be seeu iu the result of the elcotion yesterday. Four years ago, the name of John \V. Foruey, us ofiairmiu ot the Executive 'Jouuuittee, wis everywhere etubla zonsJ on the ban tiers of tbe party as its chosen leader; aod the effect was seen iu the election of that year. Then the Democratic party p-oll od seventy thousand more vote* than the Re publican.-; now it polls seventy thousand less. The principle of Popular Sovereignty was then its platform: now, a slave codo fur the Terri tories is its doctrine. Let the past teach Dem i oerats beware of all traitors *.u their priooi • pie*." A CALIFORNIA ROMANCE.— The Bt. Louis papers leli a strange story of one John llard wick, Pittsburg mechanic. In 1853 he went 'o California, leafing a wife and two children behind. Reaching tbo land of gold, he dag pile, which his partner stole from him. Then be 'ell sick, and recovered only to find him self quite impoverished, feeble, discouraged, lie wrote frequently to his wife, but she did not receive his letters, nor did aoy from ber reach him. He concluded that she was glad te get rid of him, so he began to dig — lr. the meantime, the wife mourned f.>r"biui as , ouo the naturally married again and re moved to St. Louis. Her first children died and she boro two more to the second husbaud who after a time died also. Within a month' Hardwick, the California adventurer, having uccurmlated a fortuue, came toward* tbo East traveling by the overland route. Stopping in S'. Louis, ho walked about the city, looking at the town. While so engaged he met his wife. Mutual explanations followed. The dead children received the tribute of paternal tears, and the new ones were welcomed with affection. Then a clergyman united the pair for u second time, and all parties soon left St. Louis. The Soothing System. If tho Chivalry require an acknowledgment from u* of oor obligations to them for breakii g up the lati Democratic Natioual Convention and patty, we are ready to give it. They did u* good service in cieaiing and smoothing the vray for Lmcoln's election; we might or might not have elected him without their aid, but the enterprise was uiueh easier and surer with that aid. Such favors are not often accorded as be iwe"u political adversat iea; and we do oat tnesn to f>rget a good turn, no matter who uid it. We have won the election, as <*e meant and they meant we should; aud now if thy want a dozen or two good fellows kept in office though Mr. Lincoln's Administration, we think them entitled to ask and receive. If they rirefer that we'should wear our laurels meekly, and not evince any immoderate or offensive exulta tion, we can otily say that we have scduouslv repressed ail exuberance of spirits ever sinco the deed was done. Never did a party win so great a victory aud make eo little fuss about it as tits Republicans have just done. Rut when the gaibling Fusion journals presume upon this so far as to infer that, in view of the se cession flurry, we are sony that vrc succeeded! nay, when they go the length of advisiug Mr. L'ocoltt to decline, and urging the Lincoln electors to betray their trust, aud vote for some anti-Repub:icin for Ptesident!—we must tell them that they grossly misjudge us. We arc not a bit sorry for Lincoln's success—on the contrary, we like it hugely: an i the antics of the Chivalry trtrly make us gladder aud gladder that they have ceased to be our rulers. And let them nullify, secede, form a new Southern Republic, or Go what they will, we -hall still be glad tb . t Lincoln is elected. Nor do We propose to exphin, or qualify, or ask pardon for, our late triumph Wo went in to elect Lincoln and that is the simple aod brief explanation of our vote. \\ hec we were beaten foul years since, mme of the victors thought of soothing or consoling us. None of them even proposed to hold meet iocs aud implore us In stay in the Union. Nobody proposed a repeal of the atrocious laws whereby Northern seamen are imprisoned in Mouthern ports for t'ue crime of being black. On the contrary, the Oliivalry tuado themselves merry over Sumner's broken head, tbo 'shrieks* of Kansas, and other such fuDtiy things. The victors exulted as much HS they saw fit, and no ono murmured, 'Why do ye so*" We held our peice and bided our nine, and we advise the Chivalry to profit by our example. They may, while still smarting under the pangs of defeat, devise a course which seems more heroic, but the quietest way is tire bast.—A*. Y. Tribune. TREATMENT OF SENAOR DOUGLAS IN AL AUSMA. l ite Southern Confederacy vouches for the truth of the following story. "A gentleman, aud a member of the Breck inridge party, inform* us that he was present when Judge Douglas arrived in Montgomery from Columbus, on tbe night of the Ist of No vember. This gentleman, whose statement 'has been corroborated by a half dozeu eye wit nesses says that when Judge Douglas alighted from the carriage to sscend the steps of tbe Exchange Hotel, Montgomery, that there were three rotten eggs thrown. The first egg struck Coi. Scibles, editor of the Confederacy, the second egg struck Col. Elmore, and the third egg struck the hut of Judge Douglas, bursted and discharged its contents in the face of his wife, who stood immediately ou his left. "These are the facts as detailed to us bv several gcudeuicß who witnessed the disgust ing affair. '•So much for Breckinridge intolerance." A SILVER MOUNTAIN.— The excitement cou eeruiug tho newly discovered silver niioes, says the Oregon City JJrgus, on the head waters of Molalla, seems to be getting intense. Parties are continually arriving in town, making their outfit and departing for the silver regions. A party ftoui town went out this week and re turned after each cue bad taken out a claim of one hundred feet front, running to :ha top of tho mountain. Tito amount of silver supposed to be there is almost fabulous. D. P. Thomp son, Esq., one of the returned party, think* the mountain is amass of silver ore, containing hundreds of millions of the mineral—or at any rate, double as much as there is in tbe Santiam mines, which were stated by us to amount to 100,000,000 >f tons, which, at $5,333 to tbo tou —estimated—would give $533,300,000,000. Supposing the Molalla silver mines to contain 200,000,000 of tons, aud to be equally as rich as tbe Santiam ore, there is no questiou but that tbey are worth $1 ,060.600,000,000.
