JSebfori) Inquirer. BEDFORD, Pi., Jl> ai ,H<W ' STANTON AT m* POST. The United States Seuate, by a vote of 35 yeas to 6 nays, on Monday the 13th inst. re instated Hon. K. M. Stanton, in the of fice of Secretary of War, front which he had been suspended, during the Autumn, by the President. Previous to the re-instate meotwehad daily ruuiors that the Presi dent would contest the constitutionality of the Tenure of Oflioe Bill before the Supreme Court, and that in the meantime Secretary Stanton would have the pleasure of stand ing aside and awaiting the slow circumlo cution of that tribunal. And it i- stated that the Ptcsident assert- that he had made arrangements with Hen. <srant to that ef fect, and then, again, it is denied. Wheth er the President had ever approached Hen. Grant or not on the subject, i- not fully determined, but it is evident that the Gen eral was not a party to any understanding of this kind. Upon the receipt of the in telligence that the Senate had re instated the Man of Iron, General Grant immedi ately turned over the War office to him and an hour later iufortued the President of bis action. So that Stanton had a full hour's start of the Executive. Whether Andy swore, or did any rusher Unwarranted act, under the impulse of the moment, we hare not been able to learn even from the Associated Press dispatches. It is assorted he simply indulged in a few harmless threats, perhaps took an extra drink, sent for Stansbcry and no doubt asked biui to prepare an opinion of sixteen columns, close type, on the unconstitutionality of the resolution of the Senate restoring his old enemy, which will, no doubt, appear in the Xatinnal Intelligencer indue course of time. Andy's friends first announced that Stan ton would not be recognised by the Presi dent. It is now authoritatively announced, such is the statement, that Stanton will be allowed to exercise the functions of his of fice until the close of bis term. If this statement should prove true, it manifests more discretion than we supposed the Pres ident to be capable of. If be had disregard ed the action of the Senate, Congress would have been compelled to prceeed with his impeachment at onoe. A little discretion may save him stouie very unpleasant mo ments, and an unenviable page in his tory, if he could possibly have a tuorc un enviable one in history than he already has. With Edwin M. Stanton once more in the office of Secretary of War the friends of equal and exact justice to black and white, will receive fresh courage and push on the car of progress until, in the United States of America, there will not remain a single individual who can point to a statute upon our books that discriminates against him on account of race or color. THE NEW RECONSTRUCTION BILE. Ibe general principle of the new Recon struction bill may Ire thus defined —it makes the General of the army the executive of the law, and takes from the President the power of appointing or removing the mili tary coinroauders. Because it changes the Executive, and practically puts General Grant in the piuee of Andrew John-on. the Democrats insist that it is unconstitutional. That question we do not propose to argue at present. Wc are tired of hearing the Constitution defined as a document always on the side of the Democratic party, always appealed to as a justification of oppression and wrong; always quoted as the protection of Rebels; always dragged out to impede the natural progress of the country; never, by any* chance, admitted to be the fundamental charter, which, properly interpreted, secures to IT:. I of all colors freedom end the full right of citizenship. The Constitution, iu the opinion of the Democrats, is an iron chain by which the nation is fettered to the past; if it be what they declare it to be, it would be better lor the United States to have no Constitution. The uew bill will probably do good, as it reduces to a simple code the military laws by which the Rebel States are to be govern ed until the civil governments are formed. Therefore we should be glad of its passage, vet wc see in it another illustration of that fatal policy which Congress has for two years pursued—a policy which has made Congress, equally with Andrew Johnson, responsible for the delays of Reconstruction and the unsettled condition of the country. This is the Patch-work policy—the contin. ual cobbling and mending of old laws, which were not very good when they were new. The whole business of restricting and hampering the President, to which Congress has addressed itself since 1865 is a blunder. When it found in the White House a man whom it was necessary to tie up hand and foot, it should have ktiuvru that il had found a man whom it was right to expel from of lice. Its main legislation—and especially this latest act—is avowedly based on its knowledge that Andrew Johnson is uufit to he President, and that it dare not trust him with power. And in what way does Con gress treat this unfit President? By exer cising its authority to the utmost, it takes from him all those powers—hithertoyielded to the Presidency by common consent — which it can, within constitutional limits, claim the right to rcassume. This is the clumsy and the cowardly way to deal with a national crisis, which is, after all, nothing more than a personal affair—the result of one man's treachery. Congress fiuds An drew "Johnson unfit, and appoints an other officer to perform the ordinary du ties of the Presidency. Congress finds him in league with Ilebels. and passes lairs to restrain his action. What should it do? Why, Impeach him! Impeach him! What else can it do if it would doits duty? Its whole legislation is an argument for im peachment, a justification of impeachment and wc may add that the result of its legis lation is to-day a proof that impeachment is the only remedy. This new Reconstruction act may effect the purpose of Congress, but with Johnson still President it would be unsafe to predict that it will. The supple ment to the supplement may require a new supplement. We have little faith in what has been torn down. The foundation is in secure. Wc do not need to fetter a I bad President, but a majority in Congress brave enough to turn him out, and put a good President in. Only give the country a President worthy of the place, and Con gress need not even think of the South for five years. The laws already made are enough to reconstruct the Union—all that we want is a President who will execute them honestly.— Philadelphia Pott. WE have just received from lion. H. Cap roil the monthly report of the Depart ment of Agriculture for November and De cember, 1567. From it wc learn that the Corn crop of 1X67 amounts to 775,820,(XX) bushels; and is 53,000,000 bushels less than the crop of 1860; also that the cotton crop of 1 sfiT is estimated at 2,340,(XX) bales, or 20 per cent, more thau that ot 1866, and less than half of that of 1860. The present ex tteme dullness of the wool-growing and manufacturing interests is shown to be the result of excessive importations of foreign woolen goods, in anticipation of an increase of.the tariff duties at the close of the war; the amount of such importations, during the year immediately preceding the enact ment of the present tariff", was nearly as great as the total of the six preceding years. The enemies of our American industry are now trying to make it appear that the pres ent stagnation is the result of the tariff, whereas the tariff alone lias saved this branch of our industry from utter annihila tion. The case is doubtless the same with many other branches of manufacturing in dustry. THE whole uumber of immigrants landing upon our shores during the third quarter of the year 1867 was 81,333; of these 70,'.'68 landed at New York. WASHINGTON. Pence in the lilt;' Department—tin Presi dent'* Organ Preparing t<> Demolish Gen eral Grant—Doing in Congress. WASHINGTON, Friday, Jan. 17, 186s. Gen. Grant, President Johnson, and Secre tary Stanton still supply the staple topics of conversation to the political and other circles of Washington. At one time, it is the President who is on the stage, then the General and again the Secretary of War, either playing his great or little part, as the ease may be, and applauded on this side and condemned on that. Gen. Grant, however, is the central figure and all eyes are intently fixed on him. Very many people are ex ceedingly uneasy that he does not speak a little more, and are putting all sorts of speeches into his mouth, such speeches as they think he ought to make but does not. His appearance on the floor of the House yesterday wheu reconstruction was beitig debated has led to all sorts of stories in ref erence to his views on that particular point. It wa- inferred immediately that he wished the bill pending before the House changed somewhat —that he did not want the ap pointment of the district commanders thrown into his hands. But Gen. Grant did not speak one word on the subject, and merely came there to listen to the fervid eloquence of honorable members. The General, so far from volunteering opinions, minded his own business, as he said he always did in some recently published evidence, and ex tended himself with commending the rheto ric of bis friends. When the subject of re con-truction comes before Gen. Grant, he will decide upon it, and not until_ then. Secretary Stanton is at the War Depart ment. apparently quite happy and content ed. He receives his friends very cordially, and disposes of all the business that comes before him with his usual promptness and dispatch. Senators Fessendon, Cameron, Anthony and Wilson, and a swarm of Rep rcsentatives. called on him to day. with all of whom he had pleasant interview-". The President's organ here will, in to morrow's issue, contain an official statement from Mr. Johnson to the effect that several members of his Cabinet to day compared notes of the Cabinet meeting held on last Thursday, and all agreed that at that meet ing Gen. Grant acknowledged tha, he had made an agreement with the President that he would give him timely warning of what he would do should the Senate reinstate Mr. Stanton in the War department. The same article will call on Gen. Grant to ex plain, which of course he will do —in his usual way. The House Military Committee to-day had a long discussion on the question of re ducing the army, and, it is understood, came to the conclusion that it is not advisa ble at present to cut down the military forces further than will be accomplished by the recent orders of Gen. Grant. It ap pears from data before the Committee that nearly one half of our troops are in the Southern States, and that until the work of Reconstruction is complete their services are necessary. A large portion of troops are in the Indian country guarding tele graph lines, wagon routs, &c., and so lar from a decrease being possible there, the present force is hardly adequate to the dis charge of the work required. Gen. Grant is of opinion that until that time arrives he cannot spare a man. He therefore recom mends that the present maximum be retain ed in service. Gen. Hancock has issued an important order to Registers of voters, advising them that the law fairly interpreted mnst be their guide in determining qualifications, and not Gen. Sheridan's construction thereof, as set forth in his printed memoranda of disqualfi cations issued in May, 1867. Speaker Colfax gave his first reception of the season this evening. It was attended by nearly all the celebrities of Wasnington. Pope, (3rd, Sheridan and Stanton were there. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS, GE.V. SK KI.ES has been made Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic in New York. JAMES BUCHANAN* will be seventy seven years old on the 12th of April, 1868. He was born on the 12th of April, 1791. REBELLION and Repudiation go hand in hand, and the Northern Democracy are as effectually committed to the one as to the other. A careful canvass of the Senate leaves no doubt ot the rejection of the nomination of S. S. Cox as Minister to Austria. THE Pennsylvania Legislature on Wednes day, elected Gen. W. W. Irwin, of Beaver county. State Treasurer for the ensuing year. A proposition.has been presented to Con gress by a member from Ohio, to sell the right to mannfacture liquor for the United States for $75,000,000. THE number of persons pardoned by Gov. Geary, during his term thus far, is 72. The list of persons whose lines were remitted numbers 7, and the list of those who were re leased from the payment of forfeited recogni zances numbers 7. GENERAL MEADE is sadly disappointing the hopes of Johnson and the Copperheads gen erally. The removal of Gov. Jenkins, of Georgia, was among the first of his official acts. GEN. ORD expresses himself as quite grat ified at being relieved from the command of the Fourth Military District. He says the duties were such as he had no taste for, be ing of a semi-political character. He thinks General Gillem will give general satisfaction in his new duties, aud that reconstruction will be accomplished in Arkansas at least during the spring. The municipal electiou iu Allegheny, held on Tuesday ol last week, resulted in the elec tion of the Union Republican nominees for Mayor and Director of the Poor. Roth branches of the City Council will be largely Republican. THE best lawyers in Washington, including several of the United States Supreme Judges, declares that the bill establishing two thirds of the quorum to decide upon all laws of Congress is perfectly constitutional. An English contractor has been sentenced to live year's penal servitude for merely et .tempting to swindle the Government in sup plies for the Abyssinian war. It is fortunate for some American contractors that they do not live in that country. THE legislature of Ohio have elected Judge Thuruian, the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor of that State, United States Senator for the next six years. The notorious C. L. Val landigbam was a candidate before tbo Demo cratic caucus, but was beaten by Thurman three to one. THE members of the Ohio Legislature have maintained their copperhead consistency by passing, through both houses, resolutions re scinding the assent of the State tothe Amend ment to the Federal Constitution. It was done by a strict party vote. It is not suppos ed to be valid. The East Baltimore Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church will hold its eleventh annual session in Baltimore, begin ning on the eleventh of March next. Ibis conference embraces as its territory the northern and western portions of Maryland, and the central and southern parts of this State. Hon. D. J.

S. J. Randall, Democratic representative from Philadelphia. Mk. Mayxard, of Tennessee, made a {alpa ble hit in the House of Representatives last week. Mr. Marshall, of Illinois, denounced the party in power as robbers and thieves, and longed for representatives of the old fash ioned Democracy to take their places. Mr. Mavnard remarked that Floyd, one of the old-fashioned economists of the gentleman's party,,had departed this world, but suggested whether Jacob Thompson might not be acces sible. [Laughter.] JOHN JACOB ASTOR, the second son of John Jacob Astor, the millionaire, died in New York last week in the Coth year of his age. In early youth Mr. Astor gave much intellec tual promise, but, at about the age of 17, he accidentally fell, striking on his head, and thus his mental faculties were impaired. IT i 3 reported that Lord Bloomfield, the British minister to Austria, and LordCluren den have gone on a mission to Home to re quest the I'one to use his influence with the inhabitants of Ireland for the suppression of the Fenian agitation. THE U. S. Senate on Monday last, by a vote of 35 yeas, to (i nays re-instated Hon. E. M. Stanton in the office of Secretary of War No event that has secured for a long lime has caused so much rejoicing among the loyal people of the Nation, as this one. Bv a cable despatch from Santiago de Cuba the Secretary of State is informed that the people of St. Thomas and St. Johns have vo ted enthusiastically for annexation to the United States, only twenty two votes being in the negative. THE fleet bearing the remains of Maximilian entered Trieste, on January 10th.

FERVASDO Wool) in a speech in the House on Wednesday of last week on the amendatory reconstruction bill, characterized the bill as '"the most infamous of the many infamous acts of this infamous Congress." By resolu tion the fellow was subsequently, simply cen sured by the Speaker, when he should have been expelled as unfit to sit with gentlemen. WILLIAM J. HAMILTON", of Washington county, Maryland, was elected United States Senator on Friday morning on the first ballot receiving fifty six votes, while Swann had but forty six. Hamilton has always been an un compromising Democrat, and was a strong Secessionist. Is the U. S. Senate, on Saturday. Mr. Sumner introduced a resolution declaring that the amendment to the Constitution, pro posed by the 39th Congress, had been ratified by a sufficient number of States, and that it is now valid and a part of the Constitution. It was referred to the Judiciary Committee. THE earnings of the Philadelphia and Read ing Railroad for the year 1807, as given in the annual report of President Chas. E. Smith, were $9,106,396; the expenses $5,767, 838; leaving as tbe prolits of the year, $3,3- 38,688. In 1806 the earnings were $10,902, 819; the expenses $6,738,747, leaving $4, 164,072.

This brings the line to the eastern base of the Rocky Mu.mt.iinr, ami it expected that the track will be laid thirty miles further, to Evans I'ass, the highest point on the road, by January. The tnuxiuiuui grade from the foot of the mountains to the surnit is but eighty feet to the mile, while that of many eastern roads is over one hundred. Work on the rock-cutting on the western slope will continue through the winter, and there is now no reason to doubt that the entire grand line to ihe Pacific will be open for business in 1870. The means provided for the construction of this Great National Work are ample. The United States grants its Six per cent. Bonds at the rate of from SIB,OOO to $48,000 per mile, for which it takes a frond lieu as security, and receives pay moot to a large if not to the full extent of its claim in services. These Bonds are issued as each twenty-mile section is finished, and after it has been examined by the United States Com missioners aud pronounced to be in all respects a first-class road, thoroughly supplied with depots, repair-shops, stations, and all the necessary rolling stock and other equipments. The United States also makes a donation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile, which will be a source of large revenue to the Company. Much of this land in the Platte Valley is among the most fertile in the world, and other large portions are covered with heavy pine forests and abound in coal of tne best quality. The Company is alse authorized to iussue its own First Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the issue of the Government and no more. Hon. E. D. Morgan ami lion. Oakes Ames are Trustees for the Bond-holders, and deliver the Bonds to the Company only as the work progresses, so that they always represent an actual and productive value. The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred Million Dollars, of which over five mil lions have been paid in upon the work already dune. EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY'. At present, the profits of the Company are de rived only from its local traffic, but this is already much more than sufficient to pay the intents on all ihe Bonds the Company can issue, if not an other mile were built. It is not doubted that a ben the road is completed the through traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific States will lie large beyond precedent, and, as there will be no competition, it can always be done atqirofitable rates. It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Kail road is, in fact, a Ourernmcnt Work, built under the supervision of Government money, an.l that its bonds are issued coder Government directors. It is believed that no similar security is so care fully guarded, and certainly no other is based upon a large or more valuable property. As the Company's FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, are oflered for the present at ttu CENTS ON THE DOLLAR, they are the cheapest security in the market, being more than fifteen per cent, lower than C. S. Stocks. They par SIX PUR CENT. IN GOLD. or over NINE PER CENT, upon the investment, i Subscriptions will be recivcd in Bedford by : RUPPAND SHANNON, and in New York at the Company's Office, No. 20 Nassau street, and by CONTINENTAL NATIONAL BANK, No. 7 Nassau street, CLARK, DODGE A CO., Bankers, No. SI Wall street, JOHN J. CISCO A SON, Bankers, No. 3d Wail street, and by the Compa ny's advertised Agents throughout the United States. Remittances should be made in drafts or other funds pay in New Y'ork, and the bonds will be sent free of charge by return express. .Parties subscribing through local agents, will look to them for their safe delivery.

Jtia unnec.ir_r to occupy time or it,*, .. ! in setting forth the character of the Com m , r . citd. Its standing as the leading newspaper in rennaylvania—although the tnoit recently established of the first class papers of the country —is already assured, it no time *u experiment, it baa steadily grown in circula tion, strength and patronage, until it has be come recognized everywhere not only as the leading journal in this State, but the favorite with the reading public in a large part of Ohio, ! West Virginia and even beyond their bor ders. It employs the telegraph on s scale equalled only by the great pupers of the lar- I ger cities. As a Commercial paper it has* recognized standing at borne and abroad, and is read by the most intelligent of all classes, among whom It exerts an influence second to no other in the .State. Its Market Reports are carefully prepared by competent reporters and we employ every means to insure com pleteness and reliability. Republican iu politics, the Commercial does not scTuple to be independent and criti cises freely tbe leading men of the part?. Adhering firmly toihe fundamental princi ples of that party, it believes success is most surely achieved by freely discussing proposi tions and measures, with the view of assisting the reader to arrive at correct conclusions. Entering, as we now are, on the Presiden tial year, a preference forfien. Grant for the Presidency has already been expressed. I n this respect, the Commercial was one of the first to take a decided stand; and it has the satisfaction of kaviug already seen its favorite the accepted of the great majority of tbe I!- publican party. In State affairs tbe Commercial is the un flinching advocate of a Free Railroad Law and a Liberal System of improvements for the development of tbe vast resources of our State, whereby she will be enriched and the welfare of her citizens advanced. Our aim from the first has been to make the Commercial second to none as a Genera! Newspaper. We leave nothing untried to accomplish this object. So well have we re deemed oar promises that we deem it useless to make new ones in this or any other par ticular. TERMS OK THE DAILY COMMERCIAL.
