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 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

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD
RUNNING WEST FROM OMAHA
ACROSS THE CONTINENT,
ARK NOW COMPLETED.
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

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.

1868. THE AGE." 1868.
A Democratic Daily and Weekly Journal
in Philadelphia.
The attention of the Democratic and Conserva
tive citizen; of the county is called to the Daily
and Weekly issues of thiz widely circulated jour
nal. Tbe dissemination of sound political doc
trines should command the earnest attention of
every true friend of tbe Union and the Constitu
tion. The events of the past political year are
full of significance. The uprising of the People
in opposition to the destructive policy of Radical
ism, clearly shows that the masses are determined
to restore again to power tbe great Democratic
party, every page o! whose history is filled with
tbe glory and prosperity of our common country.
No more effectual method for presenting the
Truth can he devised, than in circulating Demo
cratic journals. It is the intention of the Propri
etors of The Age to make it in every way, worthy
of the support and confidence that have hereto
fore been extended to it. Improvements are con
templated in every department, and no pains or
expense will be spared to keep it in the front
rank of American journalism.
The Daily Age contains the latest intelligence
from all parts of the world, with articles on Gov
ernment, Politics, Trade. Finance, and all the
current questions of the day; Local Intelligence,
Market Reports, Prices Current, Stock quota
tione, Marine and Commercial Intelligence, Re
ports of Public Gatherings, Foreign and Domestic
Correspondence, Legal Reports, Book Notices,
Theatrical Criticisms, Reviews of Literature, Art
and Music, Agricultural Matters, and discussions
of whatcv er subjects are of general interest and
importance. Besides Special Telegrams, it has
all the dispatches of tne Associate Press from ev
ery part of the United States, and also the Asso
ciated T'ress dispatches received by the Atlantic
Cable; and the news from all parts of Europe
brought by the steamers, is instantly telegraphed
from whatever point the steamers first touch.
The Weekly Age will be a complete compendi
um of the news of tbe week, and besides the lead
ing editorials from the Daily, will contain a large
amount of interesting matter prepared expressly
for the weekly issue. It will be in all respects a
first class family Journal, particularly.adapted to
the Politician, the Farmer, the Merchant, the Me
chanic, the Family Circle, and the General Read
er, having, in fact, every characteristic of a live
newspaper. At an early day will be begun an
intensely interesting serial, by one of the most
popular and fascinating authors, and it i alsoiYic
intention to puonsn, nous -..K, in the
course of the year, three or four of the best and
latest novels.
