§ebforb Inquirer. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MARCH 9, 1866. FOR GOVERNOR. GEN. JOHN W. GEARY. OUR STANDARD BEARER. We have received the gratifying intelli gence that that tried Statesman and genuine soldier, Major General John W. Geary, of Cumberland County has received the nomi nation for Governor of this Commonwealth. The action of the Convention meets our hearty approval, and we enter the contest with unusual ardor, feeling that in General Geary, we have a candidate who combines all the elements essential to success. The campaign opens auspiciously and the Lnion party true to their promises, and consistent with their former professions, have with •singular unanimity rallied around those, •vho rallied for the Union, in its great strug gle for existence, and constitutional liberty. In view of the stirring events through which we are now passing in our transition from a Stateof revolution to a period of peace and looking to the treason of the past, and the treachery of the present, we feel proud that in this trying crisis, we have one who never bowed to the slave power, or yielded to the blandishments of traitors. Such a man is Gen. Geary. He has won bright laurels both in the cabinet and in the field. From being a Lieutenant he progressed to be a Major General, and from the plain surveyor and engineer, he is now a prominent candidate for Governor of this Commonwealth—the -econd in point of wealth and population in the Union. The great secret of his success is to be found in his industry, perseverance, constancy and virtue. He has fought the "battle of life" onmanya hardly contested field, and he can to day point to a record without a stain or a blot to mar its beauty. His splendid recoi d upon the fields of Mexico caused President Polk to appoint him Post Master at San Francisco,believing that he was capable of organizing that branch of the public service. Once in California, his abili ties were quickly recognized and rewarded by his elettion to the office of First Alcalde, and then being unanimouslv chosen first Mayor of San Francisco. The name of Gen. Geary is identified with many of the stirring events in that land of adventure, and the annals of California furnish many evidences of his activity and success, in shaping that policy which has given the "Golden State" that distinction she now possesses. The record of Gen. Geary in the present war, is that of a successful chieftain, afford ing a fruitful theme for the historian and the brilliant adornment of many a page of military glory. There is not a soldier in the Republic, thai does not feel the blood of patriotism stir within him, at the recital of the blood stained fields, on which he in common with our soldier candidate contended against the hosts of treason. For Gen. Geary our State should poll at least thirty thousand majority. What say you vets? A voice like that of the mighty deep, comes rolling from the plains of the North, meeting the swelling chorus sweeping from the boscftn of the lakes, and commingling with the rap turous shouts of freemen from the East, and proclaims in majesty, that the people of this noble Commonwealth, the land of Penn, and the birthplace of American Liberty, are determined to stand by their Country's De fenders. THE COPPERHEAD STATE CON VENTION. The result of the Copperhead State Con vention, which assembled in Harrisburg on Monday, is known in every city in the Com monwealth. Hon. Heister Clymer, bom and bred a Whig, according to the strictest tenets of that ever glorious party, but who went into decay and Democracy at the disso lution of that organization, was nominated for Governor. We are completely and fully satisfied with this nomination, because it is not of an equivocal character, as Senator Clymer has a record. He is perhaps, to day, the soundest Democrat in the country. He was among the fint apologists of seces sion—the last disapprover of rebellion. In his official capacity, as a Senator, he voted for ail the strong subterfuges of his party to embrarrass the Government in the effort to crush rebellion, and against all the im portant measures deemed necessary success fully to combat and defeat treason. In Berks county, where organized copperheadism openly vindicated the justice of organized rebellion, Mr. Clymer was looked up to as a copperhead leader. If he did not eneour age resistance to the draft, he denounced the unconstitutionality of the conscription laws. If he hesitated himself in question ing the right of the Government to put down rebellion by the force of arms, he ap plauded those who aided and defended reb els as having done no wrong. When it be came necessary to put the State in a condi tion of defence—when traitors threw off their disguise and proclaimed their purpose to invade the North—Senator Clymer was among those who considered the measure precipitate, as calculated to irritate the peo ple of the South. In fact, we may safely write, that Senator Clymer was among the best friends the avowed traitors had in the North. He was their faithful ally until such alliance involved personal danger. When he could no longer approve and de fend treason, he resorted to the subterfuges of his clique to carp at the Government, to exagerate its vigor and denounce it as bru tality— to depreciate its humanity and ridi cule it as cowardice. These are Senator Cly mer' s political qualities—on the force of these he was nominated—and on the odium of these we expect to procure his defeat by the people with such a majority as was nev er cast against any man in Pennsylvania. CABINET rumors are still in circulation but they have mere foundation in the eager hopes of the Copperheads, than in truth. One of the rumors is that Simon Cameron has asked for the position of Secretary of War, premising his support as a considera tion, to the administration. In the mean time, the same Cabinet that was left by the lamented Lincoln hold the seals of office. Without expressing confidence in all of them, it may be safely assumed that as long as Stanton, Harlan and Att'y Gen. Speed, remain the Constitutional advisers of the President, there is no danger of his going over to the Copperheads. A THREAT. Mr. Garrett Davis is a Senator af the Uni ted States from Kentucky, sent there by such of the Democrats of that State as did not go into the rebel army. He has been the most violent of Copperhead, outdoing even Saulsbttry of Delaware, who should long ago have been expelled. Mr. Davis in the debate the other day, finding that Congress could not be bullied or cajoled from its posi tion in regard to the admission of represen tatives from Southern States, used the fol lowing treasonable language as found in the Saturday's telegraph report. Mr. Davis said. That the Southern Senators abd those who were in favor of receiving them in the Sen ate constituted a majority of the whole num ber of Senators. If these two wanted the President could communicate with them or the constitutional body, and by the Eternal! he M ould ail vise him to do it to-morrow. He would be clearly right in doing so. He would sooner trust the Southern Senators as the friends of the country than those who were for keeping them out, The President had the remedy in his hands and ought to use it. There was no plainer principle of law than that the President would have the right in case the Southern 'Senators came here and went into session with those who were in favor of admitting them to decide whether it was or was not the Constitutional Senate. Treasonable as the sentiment here avowed is, it will be re-echoed by the copperhead press, throughout the country. It may be that such a purpose as indicated above is cherished and that this Senator Was put forward to feel the way. It is said that Sen ator Cowen favors such a proposition, fraught as it with disaster and wo. If he should support it, bold as he is, he will find Pennsylvania too hot to hold him. And if any vulgar imitator of Napoleon and Crom well should attempt to put these canons of statesmanship into practice, he will find the Tarpeian rock a little nearer the city of Washington than it is generally supposed to be. The people are jp no humor to be trifled with. THE COPPERHEAD NOMINATION. The telegraph brings us the news that Heister Clymer. was nominated on Monday by the Copperhead Convention assembled in Harrisburg. for Governor. Mr. Clymer has been a member of the Pennsylvania Senate throughout the war. and has signali zed his legislative career by voting and speaking on every occasion that offered, against the Government in its efforts to put down the slave-holder's rebellion. Such a nomination was naturally to be expected from them. Nothing can better exhibit the unrepentant, uncbastened temper of the Copperhead party. After passing resolu tions of fulsome flattery of the President of the United States, they have nominated a candidate, who denounced Andrew John 'son in violent terms, when his friends asked for him the poor privilege of addressing the Pennsylvania Legislature in behalf of the Union. We find room for the following extract from the speech of Mr. Clymer in the Senate on that occasion. In view of passing events the speech of the Copperhead candidate deserves perusal: "What is the question presented? It is a proposition to invite Andrew Johnson, the so-called Governor of Tennessee, to ad dress the people of Pennsylvania from the Senate chamber of this State. I have vari ous reasons for opposing this proposition. In the first place, I here boldly proclaim that he is not, at this hour, and never has been by the Constitution or under the laws, the Governor of the State of Tennessee, except when years ago he was elected to that office by the people. I say, sir, that his appointment by the President of the United States to that position, was a usur pation of power on the part of the Presi dent, and that there is no warrant under the Constitution, no authority in the laws for his appointment And that very act which he has assumed to perform by virtue of his unconstitutional and illegal appoint ment, has been in derogation of the rights of a sovereign State and in flat violation of the Constitution of the United States. I say, sir, f'uthermore, that no such position as military Governor of a State is known to the Constitution of the United States; that there is nothing in that instrument which authorizos the President of the United States to appoint a military Governor of any- State, and that to make such an appoint ment was to create the State of Tennessee a military province, and that s his appoint ment was made to carry out and subserve the purposes of the present Admiuietra i tion, which Is to reduce all the States of this Union to the condition of mere depen dencies of a consolidated oligarchy or des potism. That is my position, so far as con cerns this pretended Governor of Tennes see. Adrew Johnson has not been for years, and is not now the Governor of that State; and I will never recognize him as such by voting for this resolution. But, sir. without regard to any question of his official position, take Andrew Johnson as an indi vidual. assuming that he is rightfully cloth ed with the robes of office, ana may consti tutionally exercise the duties of that high posidoh; even then I say" to you, Mr. Speaker, that I never, by my vote, will al low a man to come into these halls and from this place speak to the people of this great State in support of what 1 know to be ille gal, unconstitutional and tyrannical acts of the Federal Government. I know, sir, that Andrew Sohnson has gone as far as the far thest, and is ready to go still farther, to de stroy, to uproot, to upturn every principle upon which this great and good Govern ment of ours was founded. I know that he has bent with suppliant knee before the throne of power. I know that, for pelf or some other consideration, he has succumbed to every measure presented to him for ap proval or disapproval; and I know that in speeehes delivered capital of other States he has enunciated doctrines which, if adopted by the people of the great North would be subversive of individual freedom and personal right Sir, by no vote of mine can aoy person holding such views address the people of Pennsylvania in this chamber. Never, sir, never, so long as I have a right to forbid him. Again : "But, in this particular case, I have my distinct personal and general reasons for voting agamst hearing Andrew Johnson in these halls. They may not be satisfactory to others; they are, sir, to myself and they will he to those whom I represent. Sir. I do not recognize Andrew Johnson as the Governor of Tennessee. I say that he as sumes that title without warrant of the Constitution, or warrant under the laws of the United States. I say that his appoint ment to conduct the affairs of the State of Tennessee, was but a portion of that gener al system by which it is attempted to con solidate this Government and make it one great machine to be wielded by the power of ONI! MAN." THE Boston Journal remarks that the let ter of Governor Cox, communicating an authentic statement ot the President's poli cy, leaves no reason why Mr. Johnson and Congress cannot cc-operate in the great work 0} pacification. THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. Some of our readers will doubtless ask why we do not publish the President's speech of the 22nd, of" Feb. The true ver sion we with the whole country are ashamed of, and we know that our readers will not thank us for publishing as the President's speech a liaethed up report of things the President never said. The following state ment in regard to the speech is made by the correspondent of the Boston Daily Adver tiser. "Three versions of President Johnson's speech were given to the public,—one re ported verbatim, one toned down in some of its harshest points by a reporter, and one revised by thoaPresident himself. It is rath er amusing as well as instructive to note the differences between these reports. Taking, for example* the last sentence of the speech the following were the exact words of the President, printed in papers as widely dif ferent in opinion and character as our own and the New York Daily News:— "When our country is gone, if you are a bout that place, look out and you will find the humble individual who now stands be fore you weeping over its final dissolution." The following is the same passage after going through the "toning down" process at the hands of a judicious reporter, and as telegraphed to the New York Times, the Boston Journal, and to about half the papers of the country: — '■l thank you for the respect you have manifested to me upon this occasion, and if the time shall come during the period of my existence when this country is to be destroy ed, and the Government overturned, if you will look out you will find the humble indi vidual who stands before you there with you endeavoring to avert its final destruction." The peroration as revised by the President himself, and as printed by the entire South ern press, is as follows: — "Accept my thanks, gentlemen, for the indulgence you have given me in my extem poraneous remarks. Let us go on, forget ting the past and looking only upon the future, and trusting in Him that can con trol all that is on high and here below, and hoping that hereafter our Union will be re stored; and that we will have peace on earth and good will towards men. "The President then retired, amid a storm of applause and congratulations." With differences in the text so radical as these, —which are quite as marked in other portions of the discourse, —it is not surpris ing that the comments on the speech should be of a varied character. It is worth noting that the allusion to 'dead ducks' appears in all the published re ports." WHO VOTED FOR IT. Four members of the Cabinet—Messrs. Seward. Dennison, Mc Culloch, and Wells— voted in favor of the Veto Message, and three —Messrs. Stanton, Harlan, and Speed —opposed it. Mc Culloch is a Democrat, and was never anything else: Seward's mor al obliquity and utter untrustworthinass have been well known for five years. He under stands the art of concealing truth with lan guage, but not the more simple and infinit ly higher one of being an honest and patriot ic man. As for Messrs. Dennison and Wel les. having little reputation to lose they suf fer only to a limited extent. When the bill came up again in the Sen ate on the quastioH—Shall it pass, notwith standing the President's Veto?— Messrs. Cowan, of Penna.; Dixon, of Conn.; Dooiit tle, of Wisconsin: Morgan of New York; Norton, of Minuesota; Stewart of Nevada; and Willey, of West Virginia, all elected as Republicans, voted nay. It is gratifying to know that not one of them all will go hack to the seats they have dishonorod. Cowan, the first of the list, has not a corporal's guard of supporters in the whole State of Pennsylvania. The Copperheads may use but they thoroughly despise him, while no Union man would touch him with a pole. WASHINGTON REPORTS. Our private advices from Washington all concur that the President's demonstration at the theatre on the 22d instant, was most indecent and disreputable. The volunteer counsel of the assassins of President Lincoln were head actors in the performance. Wretches who deplored the escape of the Vice President from the knife of the assas sin were there to applaud. Berret, the ex- Mayor of Washington, who was in Fort La- Fayette; one man who was in the old capitoj on suspicion of being one of the assassins; every one of the leading secessionists; and their feliows of high and low degree were all on the side of the President. Mr. Thomas B. Florence was Master of Ceremonies, and the tickets of admission to the theatre bore his signature—a name, in the judgment of all republicans saved from being infamous only by being contemptible. The speech of the President at the White House, in its matter and surroundings, ap palled the Conservatives. They telegraph ed to Mr. Seward, at New York, to take care and not commit himself, and this ex plains why his speech was tame, spiritless, and in part incoherent. —Pittsburgh Gazette THE PRESIDENT'S EXPLANATION. e publish on our first page the letter of J. D. Cox, of Ohio written in explanotion of the veto message, by the consent of the President As a matter of course every one will read it for himself. It is unfortu nate that a message from the President should need explanation, it ought to ex plain itself. If the President had made the statements in his message that he authorizes Mr. Cox to make, it would have saved hi* from a great amount of severe criticism and his friends from mortification. To be sure the rebs and cops would have been deprived of a good deal of jolification. As it is the President has elicited a pretty free expression of opinion, from those who placed him in the Presidential chair. An expression by die way that requires no let ters of explanation to define its meaning. RESOLUTION PASSED. The concurrent resolution in relation to the adfnission of the States lately in rebel lion, has passed both branches of Congress. As it is a joint resolution it does not, fortu nately, require the signature of the Presi dent, who would have taken great pleasure in intervening with his veto, if we may judge by his action on the Freedman's Bill. The following is the resolution: Be it Resolved by the llonsc oj Represen tatives, the Senate concurring. That in Ol der to cause agitation do in a question which seems likely to disturb the action of the (government, as well as to quiet the uncer tainty which is agitating the minds of people of the eleven States which have been de clared to be in insurrection, no Senator or representative, shall be admitted into either branch of Congress from any of said States until Congress shall have declared said States entitled to such representation. THE MANNER OK THE PRESIDENT'S SI'IKCH —We have had a variety of editions of the President's speech from the steps of the White House, and a still greater variety of comments upon it from all sources., hut hitherto we have had no account of the man ner of its delivery and reception, except what could be gathered from the bald reports of the stenographers, The Washington correspondent of the Worcester Spy, who says he stood in the portico close behind the President throughout, supplies the want. Of the aufiience he savs:— "linmeiiately in front I counted over two hundred confederate jackets. I have seen the dirty Arb in the battle smoke or on the march too often to be mistaken now." After minutely describing Mr. Johnson's personal jtresence, the writer proceeds as follows: k ■'His vtfce is clear, harsh, powerful and penetrating When he seertie spalling with most excitfljneut he is evidently the coolest man in the world. I watched him with the awakened interest of one who felt the magni tude of'thecrisis the speaking was creating, and am convinced that all he said was weigh ed and measured, and meant to bring about certain results. When the tumult of ap plause which greeted his strongest denuncia tion and most virulent attack was surging around, those cold eyes and that crafty smile could be seen calculating the entire scene and its acoeisorie." PARSON BK<VNLOW DEFINES HLS POSI TION. —The last number of the Knoxville Whig, printed before the news of the veto or of the speech, contains an editorial in an swer to questions as to the position of the paper on the ijuestious of the day. Gover nor Brownlow says lie fully indorses Andrew Johnson's policy, as developed by him when Military Governor of Tennessee, but as to his present policy neither the Whig nor "the loyal and true men of Tennessee" are ready to indorse it till they know precisely what it is The closing lines of the article however place the views of the writer in a very clear light: "If he intends to pardon and turn loose upon the country all the had men that led off in this rebellion; or if he intends to recon struct the late rotten democratic party, and to force upou Congress the rebel delegates talking treason, and boasting of what they did to destroy the government, we are not with him nor are the true men of the nation If he holds to the principles of the Balti more platform, upon which himself and Mr. Lincoln were nominated, we are with him. If he Las crawled off of that platform, we will not go off with him, nor will the loyal men of the country." THE FENIANS. —Our exchanges are stil filled with accounts of Fenean meetings, for the delivery of Ireland. An immense meet ing was held last Sunday in Jones' Woods, A. Y. One hundred thousands persons are said to have been present. Arch-Bishop Ilnghes issued an order against the meeting on that day. which seems to have been dis obeyed, if there is any correctness in the statement concerning the immense numbers present. THE FELL MOON. — The circumstance that there was no full moon in February this year, was mentioned a few days ago. The statement sn the article that 1 it is said astro nomical computation shows that this result has not occurred before and will probably not occur, again which was copied from an ex change, involved an error. A February without a full Wioon, though rare may come more than once in an ordinary lifetime. IT is positively asserted that SENIOR Wal lace had written a letter to Gen. Meade, re questing him to accept the nomination of the copperhead party for Governor, and Gen. Meade peremptorily declined the proffered honor, and intimated to Mr. Wallace that he was the friend of Gen. Jno. W. Geary. \Y ill Mr. V allace give the letter to the pub lic? THE Pittsburg Gazette, speaking of the strikes at the rolling mills there, says: '•The iron manufacturers held a meeting yesterday and resolved not to resume work until their pen would accept the reduced schedule of wages. The workmen seem equally determined, many of them having already gone to work at such employment as they can find, while others are casting about for something to do." THE Washington Star says Mrs. Jane G. fcwi:-shelm was dismissed from her position as clerk in the Quartermaster General's Office on Monday, by the Quartermaster General, with the approval of the Secretary of V :ir, for disrespectful language against the Preside at of the United States in Satur day's edition of the newspaper which she edits-— The RecwutTuetionnt. EFFECT OF THE PRESIDENT'S VETO. —Ma- jor General Howard, Commissioner of Freedmen's Affairs, has received a number ol telegrams from assistant commissioners in the so-called restored States. They rep resent'that the veto is hailed by the ene miss of the Government with much jubila tion and enthusiasm; and that they had be come troublesome. Also, that disorders and outrages are increasing. They state, generally, that civilian agents of the bureau are paralyzed, and request the commissioner to detailj as agents, true and tried officers of the I nion army. The freedmen, since the announcment that Government protec tion is to be wiilidrawn, are uneasy, and disposed to leave the States. Every loyal man finds that he cannot expect sympathy from the Government, and expresses the hope that Congress will remain firm in its resolve, strengthen their hands, and dis comfit the traitors, who now predict that they will dictate to the north. ANOTHER WITNESS FROM THE SOUTH.— A \\ ashington correspondent says that Gen eral Grant's most trusted aid. Colonel Eli Parker, the Indian chief, has just returned from a pmonged tour through the South, and thus reports his experience there:— "He, wemnghis uniform was struck by the redundint professions ofloyal submission winch everywhere greeted him. These were so frequent as at last to excite his sus picions. lie clothed himself in citizen's garb, and thereafter passed as a member of the Choctav nation, well known to the South as a rich, veil educated, and intensely pro slavery trile of the Southwest. This dis guise unloosed the latchstrings of their se cret thougits, and thereafter he heard not one loyal wird except when in pursuance of his duty he was with our own officers. The most malignant disloyalty, the most vindic tive hatred the fiercest, though suppressed detenninatbn to bide their time, yet wreak revenge, was everywhere made visible to the man t hose color and stated relation made theui confident of sympathy.', A despatch from Cincinnati states that the number of lives lost by sinking of the steamboat Nannie Byers will not exceed twenty. The lowt Legislature according to des patches received in Washington, has appro ved the acton of the majority in Congress by an overwhelming majority. A VIVACIOUS DESCRIPTION,— Even the present political crisis has its comic aspect. Tie Norwich Bulletin has discovered it and speaks as follows of the Hartford Times and other democratic papers:— ' ;r fhey wriggle and twist with delight. The Hartford Times, whose subsistence for the past five years has been on funeral baked meats, bobs around the arena in perfect ecstaey of pleasure. It slaps the President on the back, calls him 'Glorious old Andy,' says he is a tower of strength against the assaults of disunionists,' calls on the people to rally round him," and pirouettes about him us though he was a long lost brother, left in bis infancy on a desolate island, but now discovered and recognized and identified by the wart on his elbow and the elegant voice he has for whiskey. The Times acts like an elephant that's been taking chloroform. Who cares for broken crockery when fun like this is going on?" NEW VERSION OF A FAMILIAR ADAGE.— Mr. S. S. Cox, in his speech at Washington on the 22d. gave a new version of the familiar saying. "Scrape a Russian "and you will find a Tartar. ' "When a man has "once been a democrat," says Mr. Cox, "his demo cracy shows out all over like the small pox.'' We admire both the profound truth of the saying and the exceeding beauty and fitness of the simile. THE NEW YORK TIMES AND ITS POLICY. —A New York correspondent of the Spring field Republican gives the following little story, which is perhaps worth reproducing: "A joke is going round certain circles at the expense of Henry J. Raymond, which is too good to be kept private. Report has it that Mr. Ganson, an cxmember of Con gress from the Buffalo district, the other day introduced Mr. Raymond to Ex-Gover nor Parker of New Jersey, who is, as every body knows, a pro-slaverv democrat. ,Ah, says Judge P., 'l'm very glad to make Mr. Raymond's acquaintance. I take the Times because I like to see both sides.' 'Yes,' says Ganson, and you get both sides in the Times,' The Maine Legislature adjourned sine die on Saturday morning. The lowa Legislature has sustanied the Freedman's Bureau bill against the Presi dent. "There's not a red marauder in the land" who dose not applaud the recent course of President Johnson. The Reconstruction Committee has a greed to the proposition to admit the Ten nessee delegation in Congress. A terrific boiler explosion occurred in Middleton, Pa., by which a furnace was des troyed, five persons killed and other destruc tion caused. Advices from Havana state that the French transport, loaded with returning troops, whose term of service had expired, was still at that port. The Fenian Congress adjournod sine die on Saturday. They disclaim all connection with American politics and urge immediate action. A despatch from "Washington says intima tions have been given of a Fenian plan to seize British Columbia .and establish a har bor for privateers on the Pacific coast. A Pittsburgh Dispatch says that Roberts has resigned the presidency of the "Fenian" republic, and recommended Sweeney as his successor. The High Court of Errors and Appeals of the State of Mississippi has decided unanimously that the stay law is unconsti tutional. The committee of the Maine Legislature, investigating the alleged enlistment frauds, report that no State officer is implicated in any manner, in the alleged frauds. The lowa Legislature has passed a resolu tion, almost unanimously, approving the course of her Senators and Representatives from that State in sustaining the freedmen's bureau bill. Vallandigham Copperheads, misguided brethren wffio have professed to see the er ror of their.ways, and deserters, have a good opportunity to secure Government patron age at the national capital. At a meeting in San Francisco, on Thurs day night, the sentiment that President Johnson was unfit to be the Chief Magis trate of the United States was loudly ap plauded. Governor Cox of Ohio read, on Monday night to the Ohio representatives in Wash ington the substance of a conversation be tween himself and the President, on the sub ject of the policy of the latter. A resolution has been adopted in both houses of the Missouri Legislature approv ing of the action of the union majority in Congress in voting for the Freedmen's Bu reau bill, notwithstanding the veto. A proclamation cautioning American fish ermen against "i-shore" fishing after the 17th of March has been made in Canada. Another proclamation is to be made prohib iting the importation of diseased cattle. The New York Express says that General Butler has paid to Smith Brothers, of New Orleans' the amount said to have been ta ken from their vaults, with interest and costs, amounting in all to $150,000. The Maine Legislature has passed a law relating to hawkers and peddlers, which permits the citizens of other States to sell goods by sample by taking out a license, put ting them on the same footing with Maine men. The North Carolina House of Commons has inserted in the bill relating to the testi mony of negroes a proviso that it shall not go into operation until ther matters now in charge of the Freedmen's Bureau shall have been intrusted to the State authorities. Despatches from Galvesten Texas, state that a cotton pressing and shipping company has been organized in that city, who have paid $400,000 in gold for their lots. It is also said that Wigfall escaped from the State three weeks before. A letter received at Washington from Ma jor General Caster, dated Austin, Texas, says that the spirit of the people there is as rebellious as during the war. General Cus ter emphatically denies the charge that he had made a speech in favor of the Southern cause. A circular lias bnen issued to the assist ant commissioners of the Freedmen's Bu reau, instructing them to continue firm iu their efforts, although they may meet with increased hostility, and informing them that the bureau will be in existence at least another, year. It is reported that Speaker Colfax wager ed a box of cigars with Mr. Deming of Con necticut that the President would sign the freedmen's bill, giving as a reason that he learned his views from the President him self. The moraing after the cigars were found on Dealing's desk, indorsed "From a victim of misplaced confidence." Assistant Secretary Chandler's account of his investigations of official corruptions in the South will startle the country. The frauds are comprehensive, and involve mili tary and civil officials. The frauds during the year amount to more than $100,000,000. A special committee of investigation will be appointed. The peroration of the late Presidential speech is as follows: —"When your country is gone, if you are about that place, lookout and you will find the bumble individual who now stands before pou weeping over its final dissolution," A Washington despatch states that Re presentative Mc Kee of Kentucky received oa Monday several letters giving details of most inhuman outrages practised upon freed men within his district and stating that the perpetrators in one case, on being arrested by the agents of the Freed men's Bureau, were liberated on application under a writ of habeas carpus, by a State judge. The Texas State Convent now in o,in ses sion at Austin, has added an article to the constitution abolishing slavery or involuntary servitude except for crime, protecting the blacks in their rights of property, and allow ing them to testify in the courts. Aon. James Johnson, late Provisional Governor of Georgia, who is now in Wash ington, says, the condition of affairs in that State is very far from being as satisfactory as when the civil government was first re stored- He speaks of the Freedmen's Bu reau as an absolute necessity, both for the Union men and the blacks, and that it is very important that more troops be sent in to the State at once.
