|sM)rfrfnprer. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MARCH 23, 1860. FOB GOVERNOR, GEN. JOHN w. GEARY. SENSIBLE FINANCIAL MOVEMENT. Mr. Sherman introduced in the U. S Senate, on Juesday, the J 3th inst. a resolu tion providing that the outstanding Unite: States currency, excluding interest-bearin notes, shall not be reduced below $420,000, 000: that the balances in the treasury shu! not be allowed to exceed $40,000,000 ii coin and $40,000,000 in currency, but tha the surplus shall be applied to aecrueint indebtedness and to paying up the interes debt, but that the interest-bearing lega tenders shall not be retired at a rate ex eeediug $5,000,000, a month. The resolu tion was refered to the Committee en Fi uance. This is the first sensible taovemeni •yet made on this subject in Congress and wc -nice rely hope it will speedily become a law. weeks ago the Secretary of the j reasury asked and the Finance Committee reported a bill giving him discretionary powers in funding government issues and contracting the currency. We have heard nothing of it since and hope to here of it no more. The danger of entrusting any one man with the supreme control of our nation al finances must be evident to all. The dan ger oi entrusting any one man even with the powers now held by the Secretary oi the Treasury, especially when it was an of fice yho is liable to be removed at any time ittrd none can tell who will be his successor or what his qualifications. Even the pres ent secretary, with all his financial skill and and experience, in October last bad the cashness to contract the currency $38,000,- 000 in a single month, the result of which was to bring us to the verge of financial ruin, to stop manufactures and cheek busi ness of every kind. Since then we have been constantly threatened with a financial crash, business of all kinds has been derang ed because of the uncertainty of monetary affairs and still continues so. Previous to this rash experiment, we had already com menced the payment of our national debt, since then, though the Secretary saw the ruin threatening us, and ceased contraction to sufficient extent to save us from a finan cial crisis, we have not been able to resume the payment of our debt because of the de derangements caused by a too rapid contrac tion. The resolution of Senator Sherman proposes to remedy these difficulties by fix ing a minimum circulation of United State currency and a fixed maximum rate of con traction. This will enable business men to determine with considerable accuracy the condition of the money market several months ahead, and thereby restore confi dence in business circles, and infuse new energy iDto our now lagging ma uufactures. Some may cry out against it as a putting off of the resumption of specie payments, but let our tariff duties and internal revenue taxes be properly revised so as to check the importation of foreign goods and the export of specie, and the renewed life infused into the business of the country will soon pour a steady stream into the Treasury that will unable us to resume specie payments lone before the currency is contracted to the $420,000,000 contemplated in Sherman's bill. The moment the government is able to redeem its notes in specie, theie will be no further need of contraction, for few will care to be encumbered with specie when they have a much more convenient circulating medium which is worth its face in gold all over the country. Six months ago, when the rapid contraction policy was inaugurated we predicted the evil effects upon the busi ness of the country which have since follow ed and urged the adoption of some such regulation of our finances as would give us a study, but not too rapid contraction of the currency, without bringing on a financial crash. Sherman's bill we think will accom plish this pbject, though a contraction oi $5,000,000, per month or $60,000,000 per year is more than any other nation on earth ever endured without financial ruin, in the history of financial operations; but as wc as a nation have performed so many, here toferc considered, impossibilities, we are willing to try this with the fullest faith in in its accomplishment. This we believe to be the only plan by which we can return to specie payments, without producing a finan cial crisis and bankrupting the government. Let all support it who wish the accomplish ment of so desirable an object. MODEL CONSERVATISM. Stewart of Nevada, one of the conserva tive Senator who supported the President's veto, on the 16th inst offered a resolution intheSenate which proposes that the South ern States shall be re-admitted when they incorporate in their Constitutions (1) a pro vision abolishing all distinctions as to civil rights and the voting franchise by reason of race, color or previous condition, (2) a furth er provision repudiating the rebel debt, and (3) yield all claim to indemnity for their emancipated slaves; these propositions to be approved by the voting population of each State according to the basis of suffrage as it existed in 1860. If this is the consetvatism that we have j heard so much of lately let us have more of it. We say amen! to all such as this, and only ask that it be adopted at once and let the rebels know on what terms they will be reoeived. When they accept these proposi tions and elect loyal men to Congress, they wiil not need to knock long for admission. Reconstruction with such a basis for a begin ning will go on sniothly and safely. REVISION of our COMMON SCHOOL LAW. On our first page will be found the speech of Hon. G. W. Householder on offering a resolution to appoint a committee for the revision of our school laws, on our second page will be found the bill submitted by the committee and read in place by Mr. House holder in the Senate on the 9th inst. We bespeak for both a careful perusal by all who feel an interest in the educational af fairs of the State. The subject is exciting considerable attention throughout the State and meets with so much approval as to af ford a reasonable prospect of its success at an eariy day. SENSIBLE ADVICE. The President has heeded the expression of the sentiments of the people as elicited bv his veto of the Froedmen's Bureau Bill and his Speech of Feb. 22nd, if he really made it (Thad. Stevens says it is a Copper head fiction got up to damage the President) and we are glad to be able to chronicle some of speeches, that we can heartly approve. Hi s advice to a committee from the copper head convention that nominated Clymerfor Governor iff tlitt? related by the New York Tribune. "It •w ill be remembered that the late Cop perhead Convention of Pennsylvania, after nominating Mr. Clymer for Governor, passed a resolution indorsing the President's policy. A sub-committee was appointed to come here and present the resolution in person. This grateful mission was essayed a few evenings since. The committee were admitted to an audience with the President, and were pro ceedinjhafter the most approved fashion, to [ ussilrc him that the Democracy of Pennsyl vania had designed no empty compliment; that they had watched his recent action with no ordinary gratification: and that they should stand by him and his Administration so long as he so nobly adheared to the sacred Consti tution. Before the peroration was reached the President broke in upon them with the suggestion the "theurfsfst thing they could do teas to go home and change their ticket. " He believed that they had made a fatal mistake in nominating such a man, especially at this particular time, with many orther remarks of a similary encouraging character. Tfc'S last seen of the Pennsylvania Committee they were making for the Baltimore depot, in a fearfully demoralized frame of mind." Truly these are words of soberness and sense becoming a Union President of the United States. Of a like import is his direc tion to the Governor of Louisiana; the peo ple of New Orleans elected the notorious, unpardoned and unrepentant rebel, John T. Monroe as Mayor on the 12th inst, on the receipt of the intelligence the President telegraphed to the Governor not to permit the issue of a certificate of election to Mon roe. Such acts as thege, and we hope to hear of more of them, go far to confirm us in our opinion expressed at the time of the veto, that the President had not yet deliber ately determined to strike hand with traitors and rebels.

Strikes on the Allegheny. The Stump Islands Oil Company, of Bed ford, Pennsylvania, have struck a "fine show"' of oil at the mouth of Bitchy Run,at 750 feet depth, dividing stream of Clarion and \ cnango counties. The well is now undergoing the testing process. It is a flow ing well of beautiful oil of light gravity. Sometimes the oil is thrown up with great force more than half the height of the der rick. None estimate it at less than fifty bar rels, with the probability that it may be the largest well on the Allegheny. This com pany also own the two islands at the mouth of the Clarion, which they purpose develop ing soon. THE INDIANA 1 >EMOC RATIO RESOLUTIONS. —The Indiana Democratic State Convention resolve that they will support Mr. Johnson in all his conflicts with tie- Congressional majority. It seems to us that this is pru •f?tj f'°"V c an d above ail, cheap. If he will fight the majority of his own party, they, the minority, will hold his coat. The ofler . shows a high estimate of Mr. Johnson's character and sagacity. The doctrinal part on the effect of the fail ure of the rebellion is free and easy. The seceders had not the right to secede; there fore the attempt involves no guilt. The rule will apply equally well to the whole catalogue of c rimes. They claim that Congress is in rebellion, and call on Mr. Johnson to oust it by force That is the way they felt ail through the war but they did not then compliment Mr. John son by calling on him to join them. On the whole the resolutions are a striking mitigation of the venom of Indiana Demo cracy. The serpent has been out in the cold a long time; he wants to warm himself in the husbandman's bosom, and he conceals his fangs. The thing shows management,, and we presume it gives the key note of the Democratic political melodies this year.—- Cm (jrOZ.

At the meeting of the Board of Alder man, yesterday, resolutions indorsing the Fenian movement, and enjoining upon the city official.-'generally the observance of St. Patrick's Day. were adopted. POLITICAL STRATEGY. It is not generally known that, certain gentlemen now in this city have been en gaged for the week past in endeavoring to obtain the control of the National Union Executive Committee, appointed at the Baltimore Republican Convention, in the interest of the President and his policy. A meeting was held here last Wednesday with this aim and object, but no definite conclu sion was arrived at. An informal meeting was again held last evening and the matter inviewwas found muA more difficult of accomplish men: than those concerned there in had imagined. The men most prominent m the movent'at are Henry J. Raymond, Chairman of the executive Committee; L. D. Campbell ot'Chio, Mr. Johnson's recent appointee as Minister to Mexico; and Geo. B. Center, of Cleveland Ohio. The under standing now is to meet for the third time on W eanesday next, when Mr. Johnson's friends above named will make a final effort to carry into execution the sale of the party. There is but little prospect of their success. - Wash, Car. A 7 . Y Tribune. VNION VICTORY IX STEW HAMPSHIRE. 3000 Majority lor (iovciior.

Tire liicHisx Gold Mines.— The New i Ork Evening Pout states that the greater number of deposits of gold at the United States Assay office in New York are from Montana. The ores of Montana are report ed by scientific men of he much richer than those of California. Those of California yield an average to twenty dollars per ton. Jhe great majority of the lodes of Montana promise an average ol more than four times the above amount, and a few lodes exhibit astonishing richness. There are lew sulphu rates of iron and coppex, carrying gold, in Montana, such as prove so troublesome iu Colorado. This is owing to the fact that the formation is so open and perforated by water, that the sulphuretsliave been decom posed. For the same reason minors in Montana are not troubled with water, and are saved the heavy expenses of pumping. Cleveland has no water to drink. 'Hie petroleum reentries throw their waste into the river, ancf the result is that the water supply is fouled past remedy. Even the ice winch has been cut for use next summer is impregnated with oil. It is proposed to ex tend pipes far out into the lake, in imitation of Chicago. The most defunct "dead duck' in Penn. sylvania, at this time, is Hiester Clymer, THE Reading Journal, published at the home of Hiester Clymer the Democratic nominee for Governor, says: "Against Mr. Clymer, personally, we have nothiug to say-—against him politically we will have much to say in the course of the campasgn. His record, fortunately for the people, is a public one. and he cannot hide it. He was the Vallandigham of Pennsylvania throughout the war, and when his votes, his speeches, his acts, are thoroughly ventilated, and the people-and especially the returned soldiers-come to know his political status, he will meet with a condemnation scarcely less over whelming than was that which befel Vallan digham when he ran for a similar office two years ago in the Buckeye State." PROSPECT OP HARMONY.— We have the very best authority for stating that the firm determination of Congress, and the unwaver ing support given if the loyal people of the country in its destintes in loyal hands a lone, have not been without effect to the other end of the avenue; it begins to be un mistakably discerned by the President and his Cabinet that the great masses of the people are ugainst the policy of giving up jbe legislative control of the Government to unrepentant rebels; and in consequence thereof'ah honest effort will be made to ad just and harmonize the discordant views Which so gravely excited the apprehensions of the country.— N. V Tribune. THE United States Government Ls in bet ter luck than the people of our Atlantic cities in the matter of beef. The latter have to pay on the average twenty-five cents a pound for that article of food, but the Government the other day made a contract for a year for the supply of the military department of Washington at eleven cents and three-fifths and eleven cents and seven-eights per pound and at the same time secured a contract for mutton at eleven cents and a half per pound. We take it for granted that the contractors are confident that they can fulfill their obli gations and make money. THE Pennsylvania Republican platform excites groat praise among the Republicans of other States. It is highly spoken of and commended by the Republican press every where. The Detroit Tribune says: This is the most significant political ex pression vet made, and it is to the honor of staunch Union men of the Keystone State, that they have attained a hitrher expression in their platform than any State has given since the close of the war. We welcome the fact as an indication of a return to plain speaking and honest principles. SENATOR WILLEY.— The Wheeling In telligencer says that Senator Willey, of West Virginia, writes to his friends in Mo nongalia county thus: "Our welfare de pends upon our adherence to the Republi can party." JOHN VAN BTTREN is down in Connecticut canvassing for Mr. English, the Democratic candidate for Governor. It is a good omen for the Republican side the Prince never yet supported a cause that was pot rapidly goine down hill. Like Fallstaff, he has an alacrity for sinking. It is understood that upwards of £300,000 have been privately subscribed for the At lantic Telegraph Company, and an appeal will probably be made to the public for £250, 000 to complete the manufacture of new cables, with a view to another attempt at submerging them during the present year.
