BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 19. IStiO
THE DEATH PENALTY.
Since the introduction of a bill in the
Legislature to aboli.-h the death penalty, in
Pennsylvania our cotamporaries sperking
for the people, are earnestly advocating it#
oa-sage. It is a significant, fact that in pro
portion to population, Maine has forty per
cent, less crime thau Maasachusctt*, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Connecticut, and
fifty per cent, less than Canada; yet in these
States and in Canada the death penally is
still inflicted, while under the laws of Maine
there have been only two executions for hall
a uenturv In Rhode Island, where hanging
is abolished, there have been no murders for
twelve years. The Governors of Michigan
ami Wisconsin testify that there lias been
no increase of crime since the abolition of
capital punishment. If these statement
are correct, and they can easily be verified,
Mr. Rosier*' hill ought to he adopted. Com
menting on the late quadruple execution at
Princess Anne, the Tribune pertinently says:
"The most frightful private murders atom
ded in France just after the guillotine had
made life cheap and the death penalty too
common to he impressive. Perhaps they
may discover the rationale of this in diary
land, if they go on there Lansing four or
five men at a time.' Judicial murder is
ons of the inconsistencies of a people claim
ing to be civilized and Christimiied. State*
must abolish the death penalty if they d--
sire to advance their population in good,
and the people, who want protection in life,
must put an end to murder by authority of
law.— Slule Guard.
We beg leave to say that for ourselves we
are not only not advocating the passage of
this bill, but that we ate decidedly opposed
to the abolition of the death penalty. Even
the high authority of the Tribune above
quoted is not sufficient to change our opin
ion; on the contrary we believe that the very
first clause of the Guard's quotation from
the Tribune contains or.e of the strongest
arguments against it* own position, ihe
reign of the guillotine was a period ol war,,
rebellion and revolution when there was no
legal accountability for the taking of human
life. When large numbers of men. as in
time of war and rebellion, have become ac
customed to scenes of bloodshed and buniaft
slaughter, is the very time that men are
least likely to care for human life, and, a
in this case, these arc tire times that arc
followed by murders and a recklessness in
regard to the lives of nren. It is from the
very fact that men have become used to
taking life without suffering the penalty of
the law that these murders prevail. It is
the absence of the dread responsibility, that
the death penalty imposes that leads to
these seasons when bloodshed and murder
run riot over the land. The same causes
have been at work in our own county du
ring the rebellion and we ar : now reaping,
all over the country, the bitter fruits,
that have always been the result of great
wars, when for a season life has been ta
ken without fear of the d**!h penalty.
We firmly believe that the riot, blood-hod
and murder that are now so prevalent all !
over the country are the legitimate and
inevitable fruits, not 6f the enforcement,
but of the suspension, for a season, of |
the death penalty. The remedy is not in !
its abolition but in the rigid enforcement, '
of it. When the men. who hare learned
murder in the bloody and irresponsible work
of war, shall once mere be firmly confronted
with their own inexorable doom as fixed by
our present laws for the crime of murder,
they will learn again to respect the lives of!
their fellow men. We are heartily tired of
this sickly, sentimental cant about the
cruelty of the death penalty. It come*
rrujii - ,-viiuut ui >rsi" u*iy, IUOCK pnuan
thropists that strives to ignore the facts of
history and the experience of all ages and
nations. It makes a mockery of human life
and would set the husband to preaching
sickly sentiment to the red handed murder
er who was cutting the throat? of his wife
and children, instead of strikirghim to the
earth with the most convencnt wcapoD. It
would sap the very foundations of society
and place us under the rule of robbers, cut
throats and assassins. It would place vir
tue at a discount and reward crime, elevate
murderers and consign the peaceable and
virtuous to ignominious graves. It would
inaugurate a reign of anarchy and loose the
very floodgates of l'audemoniuin itself
Let us have, not the repeal but, the rigid
enforcement of the death penalty. No
other remedy can so speedily and effectually
stop the present reckless destruction of hu
man life.
THE CHINAMEN ARE COMING.— The first
instalment of Chinamen East of the Rocky
Mountains is just announced. A Colony is
about to locate in West Tennessee, there to
nodertike the culture of the tea plant,
the question "what shall we do with the
I binamen' will soon present itself for
practical solution. How to dispose of these
heathen in our social economy cons'ltutes
an important and difficult question. How
will they affect our civilization ? Can we
convert them to Christianity? Can we
safely assimilate them unless so converted?
How are our Courts of Justice to deal with
a race who have no regard for the sanctity
of an oath, the very foundation of our whole
judicial system ? The problem seems likely
to be a knotty one, yet it must soon be met
and disposed of. This once satisfactorily
solved and the chinamen, with his tracta
bility and industry will become an impor
tant element of our population. Here is a
fine field for the churches. Instead of
sending missionaries to the heathen at great
expense, the heathen seem likely to come to
them now and at their own expense. If
the churches can succeed in their conversion
the whole problem will be solved.
GEN. SHERIDAN. —The Democratic pres.*
is endeavoring to create ill feeling against
1 resident G rant among the friends of Gen.
Ihomas, by falsely asserting that Gen.
Sheridan was promoted over him. The fact
is iD appointing Gen. Sheridan to the rank
of Lieutenant General, President Grant did
not "jamp" Thomas at all, ai Sheridan
ranks him five weeks in the date of his com
mission. Had Thomas been appointed it
would have been a •jump" over Sheridan;
bat as it is all is on the square—no military
rule or etiquette has been violated—and the
whole country (except a few Democratic
grumblers who jant to raise, a disturbance
o- >me kind) is not only satisfied but highly
gratified at Sheridan's promotion. The
appointment could not have been conferred
on a more deserving officer, or one who will
more ay and faithfully discharge its duties.

The New Hampshire State election on

victory and an increased Republican ma
jority-. Last year the majority was abont

will be in the neighborhood of 4000. The
Granite State gave the first gnu in the

LETTER FROM HARRISBL'RC
HARRWBKRG, Fa., March. 13, 1869.
THE NEW AIiUIMSTKATtOS.
The excitement incident to the inaugura
tioo of the ne\f order of things at Washing
ton has reached Harrisburg. and persons
seeking appointments are industriously cir
culating petitions among the members of the
Legislature for signatures. The importuni
ties of this class of persons it is hard to re
sist, especially when a simple signing of the
name is the only favor asked, and the conse
quence is that nearly every Republican ap
plicant receives tho signatures of the most of
the Legislature beiotigirig to that parly. Pe
titions of this character can, therefore have,
but little weight, and the time spent in get
ting them up is about the tame as thrown
away.
DEATH WARRANT*.
The Governor has signed the death war
rants for the execution of George S. Twitchell
for the murder of Mrs. Mary E. Hill and Gen.
Eaton for the murder of Timothy Ilecnan.
The time fixed for carrying out the death
sentence is the Bth of April. Some lew
weeks since the celebrated pugilist John C.
Heenap, the "Benicia Boyone of the nu
merous husbands of the late Adah Lsaacs
Menken, was here to intercede with Governor
Geary and endeavor to get a commutation of
the death sentence to imprisonment for life
in the case of Eaton. He was however un
successful in his efforts to procure a modifica
tion of the sentence of this man proved guih.r
of the murder of Heenan's brother. Soon
after Eaton's counsel obtained an interview
with Governor Geary and got a respite of the
sentence upon the representation that he was
now able to proved hat Eaton did not fire the
fatal shot. There however seemed to he no
reason for a longer delay, and the Governor
therefore signed the death warrant on Mon
day, the execution to take place in the yard
of the Meyameysirg prison of Philadelphia at
the tine indicated.
RATIFICATION Or TUB AMENDMENT.
On Monday evening Governor Geary trans
raitted to the Legislature a certified copy of
the Amendment proposed to be made to the
Constitution of the United States allowing
persons to vote and hold office without regard
to race, color, or previous condition of*servi
tude. Upon its reception Mr. Lowry imme
diately introduced into the Senate a joint res
olution to ratify the same. The resolution
was reported to the Senate from the commit
tee on Federal relations on Wednesday morn
ing, accompanied wilb a majority and a min
ority report. The majority report favored
ratification, and the report of the minority
opposed it. At a special session held in the
evening the amendment was extendedly dis
cussed by the Democratic Senators who were,
replied to by Senator Lowry. At a few rain
utCß before eleven o'clock the vote was taken
on agreeing to the resolution. The result
was 18 ayes to 15 nays, a full and strict party
vote. On Tuesday the resolution came up
on third reading for a final vote. There was
an animated discussion of several hours, the
speeches being mostly from tLe Republican
side in reply to the Democratic arguments
advanced the frevious evening. At fifteen
minutes to three o'clock the final vote was
had. Every Republican Senator voted for,
and every Democratic one against ratification.
The vote stood the same as on the previous
evening, 18 ayes to 15 nays. The resolution
cow goes to the House for concurrence. It
is likely that it will pass that body sometime
during the coming week. It has been made
the special subject for afternoon and evening
sessions uutil linallysdispesed of. There was
no attempt at dodging in the Senate, the
party lines were clearly uown, arid it is
thought it will be the same in the House. At
all events a prompt ra'ification is fully as
sured.
Tne APPROPRIATION BILL
is still ... the hands of the Finance Commit
tee of the Senate. They have been working
at it diligently, and expect to be able to re
port it to the Senate early next week. Quite
a number of the provisions will be materially
modified from what they were when the bill
passed the House. There is a probability
that the bill will pass the Senate next week.
FINAL ADJOURNMENT.
It is pretty generally understood that the
Republican members will not agree to fix a
day of final adjournment until the Appropri
ation Bill and the Constitutional Amendment
are fully disposed of. Local Legislation is
accumulating to a fearful extent, and there
no" appears but little prospect of an adjourn
ment before the middle of April.
During the past week there has been
wriggling through the Legislature a number
of bills that have a decidedly snaky appear
ance. Or.e of this class is a bill incorpora
ting the western oil and pipe company, which
passed the Senate on Wednesday under a sus
pension of the rules. The bill authorises this
company to purchase and hold a thousand
acres of oil territory, to have a capital stock
of a million of dollars, to bore oil wells, to
purchase, store, and transport oil, and to lay
pipes from any point or points in the coun
ties of Erie, Venango, Warrea and Crawford.
This bill will undoubtedly create one of the
hugest monopolies chartered by the present
Legislature.
There is also another bill befora the House
to require the owners to place a certain indi
cation on all steam boilers throughout the
State. The bill is intended to bring a for
tune to the inventor and the manufacturer of
these indicators. The hill in nearly the same
shape was before the Legislature last winter,
and was defeated, although it is suid two
hundred thousand dollars were offered to in
sure it passage and signature by the Governor.
The bill seems to bear on iU lace too palpa
ble evidence of an attempted fraud and im
position to ever become a law.
MASSACHUSETTS ought to be a State m
good standing, as she manufactures shoes
and boota to the value of a hundred million
dollars annually.
TIIE NEW CABINET APPOINTEES.
Sketches of Their History.
HAMILTON FI*II OK NEW YORK.
Mr. Fish in a native of New York city,
and belong* to one of what, arc called the
"old families of New York," rot more oo
account of the length of their lineage than
for their standing, wealth, and respectabili
ty. He ws* born in the year ISO 9, and
was educated at Columbia College, where
he graduated with an excellent record Cor
ability and aMainroent*. After completing
his education Mr. Fish pursued for Fome
time the study of the law and was admit
ted as an attorney in the Supreme Court in
1830. As a lawyer his business was both
large and lucrative, and it was conducted
with ability and promptitude, but the man
agement. of bis large estate demanded
more of his time than was consistent with
hia attaining to the highest honors, of his
profession. Mr. Fish early in his car. er
took a deep interest in politics, and though
never regarded as extreme in his views, he
was generally found to act in unison with
those holding the most advanced opinions.
In 1834 he was a candidate for the As
sembly, but he was defeated ia the election
of that year, and he was not again a
candidate until 1537, when h" was elected.
In 18-12 he was elected to Congers over
John McKeon, the Democratic candidate,
and then the Representative from the \ Ith
Di-trict of New York city. He was the
\\'hig candidate for Lieutenant Governor of
N"W York in 1846, hut was not suwess'u!
owing to the opposition of the notion known
at that time as the anti-renter*. In 1847
consequent upon the resignation of the
Lieutenant Governor, he was again a candi
date for the same office and was successful.
In the election of 1848 he was elected Gov
| i rnor of the State. During hit administra
ion the slavery question waa agitated with
| much bitterness, but he was early commit
j ted to the ptovisions of the Wilmot Proviso,
' and in his annual messages took strong
ground against the extension of slave terri
tory. He wa subsequently elejted United
| States Senator, serving from 1851 to 1857.
when he retired to private life and spent
. nine years in foreign travel. At the
breaking out of the rebellion lie was out
so- ken in support of the Republic, and par
tic!pa'ed in th great Union gathering at
Union square, May 20. 1861, where he made
a shoit but stirring address. In January,
1862, In; vrj' appointed with Bishop A trie*
upon a commi->ion to relieve the 1 ninn
prisoners in the South, and though the
Commissioners were denied admission to
the territory held by the insurgents they
succeeded in negotiating • general exchange
of the prisoners of war. Later in that year
Mr. Fish wrote a letter in which Gen.
Grant's peace principles in time of war are
•o pungently set forth that his earnest
words, uttered at that time of doubt, may
have gone far to commend him as a meui
her of the new Administration. Ho said :
"We must conquer a peace—we cannot bu>
it, ami if we could it would be valueless, as
it would be disgraceful."
GEORGE S. BOUTWELL, OE MASSACHUSETTS.
The Auburn Nines savs Governor Rout
weli enjoys the implicit confidence of the
people of Massachusetts, and the whole
country. He was l orn in Brookline, Mass
achusett*, .January 23th, 1818, and removed
to Groton in 1835. He was engaged in
mercantile business as clerk and proprietor
lor several tears, and subsequently entered
the profession of law. From 1842 to 1850,
he was a member of the Massachusetts
Hotin of Representatives. In 1849 and
1850 he was Bank Co .missioner; in 1851
he was elected Governor of Ma' aehusetts
and served two terms; he was a member- of
the Massachusetts Constitutional Conven
tion of 1853; he was eleven years a mem
ber and Secretary of the Massachusetts
Board of Education, and ten years a uiem
her of the Board of Overseers of Hatvard
College. He was appointed Commissioner
of the Internal Revenue in July, 1802, and
organized the revenue system. In 1863 he
took his seat as a Representative in Con
gress from Massachusetts, and was re-elect
ed to the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Con
gresses. He is the author of a ' Manual of
the School System, and School Laws of the
State of Massachusetts: ' "Educational
Topics and Institutions;" "A Manual of
the Revenue System," and a volume re
centlv published "v..—
Reconstruction.
He was among thr most de ermined of
those who urgtd the impeachment of An
drew Johnson by the House of Represen
tatives. As one of the managers conductine
the trial on the [iart of th • people, he dis
played great ability. It significantly marks
the great contrast between the administra
tions of President Grant and hispredei
that this prominent "lmpcachei" ihould
have a plact in the. cabinet.
It should be added, 11:ot Governor Bout
weil was off-rod the portf >i i of the Interior
by General Grant, but he declined the honor
preferring to retain lib po ition in the
House. The Secretaryship of the Treasury,
being of greater impo : ,i ce and position ot
far more commanding iufbi.ace, will be ae
cepted by Mr. Boutweil.
He possesses undoubted honesty and in
tegrity, i.s well as general ability fitting him
lor the high office to which he is called. lii
serviccs to the country in organizing th
Revenue Department were very ereat, and
give him prestige in entering upen the con
trol of the Treasury Department. He is no
novice in the financial affairs of the country,
and his appointment will inspire confidence
both at home and a broad.

Washington ts Chief of Staff of the Army
of the United Statu. By profession he is a
lawyer. In politics, he was formerly a
Pougla-s Democrat, but ever since the
firing upon Fort Sumpter he has been an
earnest Republican. Throughout the re
hellion his services to the General in Chief

highest order. Had lie been assigned to

"Ihoma s . No other man ia the country
knows the army better than he; aud the
Cabinet is fortunate in having the benefit of
his large experience and his ripe judgment.
His appointment will meet with general and
hearty approval, and if his shattered health
—shattered in the service of the Union—
proves equal to the duties of his new posi
tion, he will doubtle-s so perform them as
to increase the obligation which the country
already owes him. The confidence thus
cany reposed in liiui was never Letrayed,
and the promise he then gave ended not in
disappointment As he has been Grant's
right arm in war, so he is to become a trus

41'i'U CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
After the residing of the journal the
Speaker announced the first business in
order to be the consideration of the resolu
tion offered by Mr. Buiier (Mass) last
Tuesday, for the appointment of a joint so
lect committee on Indian affairs, consisting
of three Senators and si* members, to which
shall be referred all matters relating to trea
ties with Indian tribes and payment of an
nuities, and with power to consider all ques
tions arising under such treaties, am!
whether they may be abrogated, annulled or
modified, etc., and to consider the expe
diency of determining by law what shall be
the legal status of persons of Indian descent,
and what course should bo taken that wilt
better tend to their civilization, Uhristiaoiza
tion, and ultimate citizenship.
Mr. Butler made an explanation of the
resolution, in the course of which he stated
that there were one hundred and seventy
two different acts to be consulted by arty one
desiring to find out all the legislation bearing
on Indian affairs, besides n large number of
treaties that had been made, uioduied, and
altered, going back to 1864. So long as ill--
Indians were treated as independent nations
L ud as the House had no jurisdiction, in one
theory of the law, except to vote appropria
tions to carry out such treaties, so long
would the Executive, with the aid of the
Senate, make treaties with the Indians be
fore the House could got any jurisdiction in
the matter, and a law would have to be
! made to put an end to such treaty making
system. That law could only be got by the
consent of the Senate, and by an adjustment
of the terms on which it .should be made.
It has been said that the Indian tribes bad
given their land to the Government, and
whera the Government had agreed to pav
annuities to them such treaties must be en
forced. He assented to that. The Indians
must be paid that which they were promised
but where treaties had been simply that In
dian tribes should keep the peace, he believ
ed that those treaties should bo abrogaied,
md that the Indians should be treated as
wards of the nation. No bargain should be
made with them, either by the nation or by
individuals. Thenation should govern them
by, law as it governs all other denizens on
the soil, whether citizens or not —according
to just laws, but not according to treaties
made in wigwams, over what are facetiously
called council fires. The whole system
should he changed.
After further discussion by Messrs. Julian
Kelleyand Farnswotth, the re-olution was
agreed to —yeas 93, nays 37.
Mr. Bingham introduced a concurrent
resolution for a final adjournment of this
e.->-ion on the fourth Monday of March.
Mr. Scofield suggested the fixing of some
other day than Monday, remarking that,
last year when that day was fixed on, the
consequence was that the Habbath had been
desecrated.
Mr. Bingham accordingly modified his re
solution to read the last Friday of March,
three weeks from to-day.
The concurrent resolution was then adop
ted—yeas. 118; nays, 14.
Mr. Banks introduced a joint resolution
authorizing the President to recognize the
independence of Cuba whenever in his opin
ion a Republican form of government shall
have been in fact established. Referred to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Also, a joint resolution authorizing the
President to open negotiations with the
Government and people of St. Domingo for
the annexation of that Republic to the Uni
ted Sta'cs. Same reference.
31 r. Ward offered a preamble and resolu
tion instructing the Judiciary Committee to
report a resolution to prevent frauds in
naturalization, and to secure the surrender
of fraudulent naturalization papers. A mo
tion to lay on the table vras lost, and the
resolution was adopted.
Mr. Schcnck introduced a bill to strength
en the public credit, being his t ill of last
session as it had passed the two Houses on
the report of the conference committee.
Mr. Allison moved to strike out the sec
ond section legalizing gold contracts.
Mr. Burr moved to lay the bill on the
