I F.DFOKU, PA., FMBAI) OCT. 2i>. iB6O SPECIE PAV.HKSTS-A FREE BANK ING LAW At the close of the war in 1805 gold was at 129; we then bad a paper currency of over 800 millions of dollars with which to j transact the business of the country. At that time our manufacturers were flourish ing everywhere ; every man had plenty of money, and in spite of the war the whole North was more prosperous than ever be fore. Prompted by free-trade advisers taken into their councils by Andy Johnson and his Cabinet, Secretary McCuiioch made his notorious Port Wayne speech in which he insisted on an immediate and rapid contrac tion policy in order to redu *> the price of gold and resume specie payments. The volume of the currency has been reduced about 200 millions, and to day gold is 4 or 5 jor cent higher than it was in 18f-5. We argued, and as we think demonstrated at that time, thatcontraction, while it would destroy our prosperity, would not bring specie pay ments. Oar prediction has been verified by experience. The only way to bring about specie payments is to restore public confidence ; cease advocating repudiation ; pay off our debt as rapidly a* (tossible and refund it at lower rates until our national indebtedness is brought down to an easily controlable amount, and lastly and most important of all, so encourage and foster our own manufactures as to enable them to sup ply our own markets. Gold is not needed at home except as a basis for currency. The cause of its high price is the demand for exportation to pay our foreign debts, j When we manufacture goods of every varie- j ty. sufficient to supply our own markets, we will have no demand for gold for expor tation, because we will have no foreign debts | to pay. Then gold, not being needed or wanted for our own ordinary business ex changes, will uot command any premium. But the question of specie payments is of small moment to us compared with the prosperity of the country. We have found the legal tenders more convenient and in every way more desirable in the transaction of business. We have also learned by ex perience that when they were most plenty, business of every kind was most prosperous. The contraction of the currency has caused the stoppage of many manufactoring enter prises and the working on short time of many more, has thrown iaborers, in mine and factory, out of employment or restricted their power of buying because of decreased wages, and the result of all is dull times and scarcity of money. Now if the contrac tion of the currency has no effect on tbe gold premium, interferes with our prosperi ty, reduces our business, and thereby our revenue from Internal taxes, and conse quently lessens our ability to pay our debt, why should it be continued? If on the con trary an abundance of paper money pro moted our prosperity, increased our manu facturcs, gave every one plenty of work and liberal wages, gave the farmer high prices for bis produce and caused a general pros perity, why shall we not return to the policy that supplies us with an abundance of that currency which has been shown to bo so necessary to our prosperity ? We think no one will deny that such a course is the best possible one to pursue. Such a conclusion arrived at, what course will best secure the object desired ? In 1865 with $807,218,196 of a circulating medium for the North alone we were more prosperous than ever before, f'ndor the contraction policy Inaugurated by McCußoch we have but $046,(00,1 >OO, for both North and South and the result is a scarcity cf money everywhere and a gen i i'al stagnation of business for want of a sufficient quantity of that medium through which our exchanges are effected. As a remedy for these evils we believe a free banking law, with the circulation secured on the plan of the national banks, will be found the safest, most convenient and mo-t elas tic system on which to furnish the country a circulating medium at once safe current till over the country aud adapting its vol urne to the business necessities of t he whole country, and at the same time creating a home demand ; r our bonds and keeping the gold, payable as interest on them, at home. Shall it be tried ? LATER developments in regard to the late extraordinary gold gambling in New York, indicate that it was a purely political scheme. From the desperate efforts mad* to entice '■ > rant or some member of his cabinet to identify himself with those reckless and dis honest operations, it is believed that those gigantic gambling schemes were concocted for the purpose of influencing the elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania. To such a pass has copperhead desperation come, that for j the sake of power, they deliberately attempt j to bankrupt the country by causing a finan cia! crisis in which thousands of busine.-s ! men would be broken up and thousands of honest, worthv and industrious poor, would ; be thrown out of labor at the begioing of j water, and compelled to beg or starve. Such deliberate wickedness is but little bet ter than the rebel attempt to introduce small pox into the Northern cities. Such are the legitimate fruits of Copperhead rule in New \ ork city, and of the same charac tn wou.d be their rule, if they had control of the National Government. THE official returns of the State give Geary a majority of 45% and Williams, o'o3. the vote for Williams is really the parly vote and shows that the party strength ha? been fully retained, or in fact increased over that of last year in propor tion to the vote polled. In 1868 with a ,"!e ol n0.,,100 llartranft had a majority of i 9677, nov. Williams has 8703 majority in ; a vote of 3i6,003 being a larger mvjoritv by j 162 in proportion to tbe vote than that of I last year. I aking into account the fact that j a small poll is always against tbe majority ! party, in spite ol which we have increased j cur majority, the cops are welcome to all the comfort they can get out of the election ! returns. If they are pleased with such j gains, we have no cause to complain. We ; congratulate them on their skill in figuring i comfort out of such returns. It don't take j much to gratify them when tboy can't do any taller. Y J.. is not wanted even by Tennessee j as a i rated States Senator. He has dis- I gracvu her 1 ung enough and on Friday she; se.ectvd Hon. Ileury Cooper in preference l to Andy by a vote of 55 to 51. A. J., will j now have time to consider his ways. The j G-ovl 1 'emocraey are disconsolate over bis! defeat. The groans of the llarrisburgi I-"not are heart rending. It still has faith I in A. J's. tar, if whiskey don't cut short' his brilliant career. MISFORTI NKS never couie singly as our! Democratic cotemporaries have experienced. Pennsylvania, Ohio and lown were bad enough for October, but now their especial I>et Andy Johnson has been defeated. In spite of bis most desperate and unscrupu loas efforts the Tennessee Legislature has given him a ticket of leave to star at home THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. The following States have officially noti fied the Department of State that they ratified the fifteenth Constitutional amend uicnt on the date set opposite to their names: Missouri March 1, 1869. Kansas February 27, 1869. North Carolina March 5, 1869. West Virginia March 3, 1869. Massachusetts March 9 and 12, 1860. Wisconsin March 9, 1869. Maine March 12, 1869. Louisiana ....March 25, 1869. Michigan March 8, 1869. South Carolina March 16, 1869. Pennsylvania.. March 26. 1869. Arkansas March 30, 1569. Connecticut March 19, 1869. Florida June 15, 1869. Illinois March 5, 1869. Indiana May 13 and 14, 1869. Now York....March 17 and April 19, 1569. New Hampshire July 7, 1869. Nevada March 1, 1869. Virginia ratified the amendment last week, but has not yet notified the State De part meat. Of the above, Missouri, owing to a de fective telegraph despatch sent from Wash iugton by one of the members of the House, inadvertently omitted the second section of the amendment, and Kansas in her ratifi cation changed the phraseology of the whole amendment. It is not doubted that the Legislatures of those States will correct these mistakes immediately alter their meeting. That of Missouri meets on the last Monday of December and that of Kan sas on the second Thursday of January next. The I-legislature of Missouri was elected for two years in 1863, and an election for another Legislature in Kansas will take j place on the first Tuesday of November. When these two States correct the mis | rakes io the ratification, twenty States will > have sanctioned it. Eight more are needed, i Seven of these are as follows; Ohio —Legislature elected last Tuesday, j meets first Monday in January. Alabama—Legislature elected in Nov., j 1868, for two \ ears, largely Republican, meets second Monday in November. lowa—largely Republican Legislature, meets first Monday in January. Minnesota —largely Republican Legis lature. meets first Tuesday in January. Nebraska —legislature largely Republi can, elected last week. Vermont —Leti-lature largely Republi can, elected first Thursday in September, aud meets on Thursday next, the 21st of October. Rhode Island—Legislature largely Re publican. The Senate ratified the amend ment on the 27th of May 'ast, and the House postponed action till January, 1870, when the work will be finished, according to ail our advices. These States make the number twenty seven. Texas and Mississippi, when admitted, will give us twenty-nine, one more than necessary. We see no possible obstacle in the way of the ratification, unless Ohio should not prove to have a Republican Legislature or Rhode Island should obstinately refuse co-operation; but we do not apprehend either contingency. The safety of the amendment is so assured that we look rather for assistance from some of the States heretofore most bitterly adverse to it— Ph Ha. J'r'ss. ANDY JOHNSON'S Senatorial fiasco is one of the most humiliating catastrophies that has ever befallen an ex-President. Never before has an ex-President offered himself tor, nay begged for an office from his native State and been refused. Yet, even now, neither he nor his friends seem to realize the depth of his degradation. Poor Andy ! will not they who profe.-s to be his friends UOW advise him to retire to private life and that oblivion, whicb alone can save him from further disgrace ? IN Philadelphia the whiskey ring ruf fians, Hugh Morrow and James Dougherty, who attempted to kill Detective Jauies J. Brooks while in the discharge of his official duty, were found guilty of an assault with intent to kill. The trial ended on Saturday last The prisoners were remanded to pris on to await their sentence. A motion was entered for a new trial, but the verdict is just and it is not probable a new trial will be granted. FRANCE is in an unsettled condition verg ing upon revolution. Great fears are eu cntertained of an uprising in Paris, and a large military force is concentrated therein to prevent or suppress any outbreak. THE Right Hon. Edward Geoffrey Stan ley.

RESIGNATION ot Jutifee BREWSTER lie i* Appoiuted Attorney General of the State. The Correspondence. PHILADELPHIA, October 25 —The fol lowing important correspondence explains itself. Judge Brewster went to llarrisburg this morning to have an interview with Gov. Gear): EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, HARRISBURO, I'A., Oct. 23, 1569. — Hon. P. Carroll Brewster, Philadelphia, Pa. —SIR: Placing the highest esteem in your friendship, abil ity and integrity as a man and a lawyer, I have the honor to tender to you tbe position o!

It shall be my earnest effort to discharge the duties of the office to the utmost of my ability. "With regard, Very respectfully yours. [Signed J "F. CARROLL BREWSTER." Edward M. Paxson, a well known and able lawyer of this city, has been appointed by Governor Geary to the judgeship made vacant by Judge Brewster's resignation. SUNDAY OBSERVANCE IN FRANCE.— Sunday has hitherto not been generally ob served in France by a complete ce.-sation from labor. Recently, however, a decided movement has been made in that couuiry by mechanics, woiking men, and attendants in stores, to obtain a holiday on the first day of the week, and extensive strikes are now threatened to secure this object. This movement is warmly supported by the re ligious papers, who assert that the working people desire to enjoy the privilege of" at tending church. The first practical attempt to obtain a holiday on Sunday has just been made by the newspaper compositors of Havre, who have signed an agreement Dot to work on the first day of the week after the | cud of October. A general measure of this kind, it is a.-serted. will be adopted by the compositors of Paris and the other cities of t France, so that after Novembsr Ist news papers will only be issued on six daveof the week. At present the French newspapers appear on every day of the year, except tbe days succeeding New Year's day, August 15th, or the Fete of Napoleon. Easter Sun day, and Whit Sunday. Tennessee. NASHVILLE, Oct. 22. After the vote of yesterday in the Legis lative joint convention. John-on stands a pretty fair show of being elected to-day aa Senator, although his ultimate defeat is quite within the founds of possibility. His more sanguine friends triumphantly assert he will be elected on the first ballot, but this is exceedingly doubtful. The opposition were caucusing last night, and probably decided upon some man to concentrate oa to-day. The trouble is. that they embrace too many conflicting elements to pre.-ent a bold front, and this, in connec tion with the fact that they rartnot brine out a strong man with a national reputation and the question of towering ability attach ing to his name, is very likely to bring about tbeir defeat in the end. LATER. NASHVILLE, Oct. 22. The grand Senatorial contest is ended, and the re-u't has taken every one by sur prise. Johnson's friends felt confident of his success, but it appears a trap was sprung on him, as when the vote cante to be tak'-u Johnson received 51 votes and Henry Cooper, of Davidson county, 55. Intense excitement prevailed on the an nouncement of the vote. FKIIX VIRGINIA. Doings oj the legislature—Elections of United Stute Senators. RICHMOND, Ya., Oct. 19.—1n the House to-day a communication was received from Gen. Canity, thanking them for the privi lege of the floor voted hiui yesterday. The resolution relative to the recent elections a: the North, introduced yesterday, was tabled. A joint resolution was offered im-inorinliz ing Congress to grant a general amnesty, in the manner prescribed in section thrie ol the fourteenth amendmeut. Referred to a committee. In the Senate a resolution looking to car ty out the educational provisions of the con stitution. was laid on the table, on the ground that such resolutions were not with in the provision of the Senate as now organ ized. _ Both bouses went into an election for United States Senators, and elected Lieutenant Governor John P. Lewis for the long and Judge J. W. Johnston, of Wash ington county, for the short term. The Wells republican conriidates, Alexander Sharp and L. 11. Chandler, received the votes of their friends. The election wa ntade by a strict party vote with the excep tion ol three Wells members, who voted for Lewis and Johnston. The Earthqkakc in New England. MAINE. ROCKLAND, Get. 22. —A shock of earth quake was felt here this morning. AUGUSTA, OCT. 22. —This morning at half past live o clock, a shock of earthquake, lasting more than a minute, was felt in this vicinity. Nearly every one was awakened. ! Door bells were rune and buildings shaken. It extended all along the river. EASTPORT, Oct. 22.—The earthquake here at 5.40 A. M., to-day was the severest ever experienced in this vicinity. MASSACHUSETTS. SPRINGFELD, Oct. 22. — A slight earth quake, la-ting twenty seconds, was felt here at 5 o'clock this morning. BOSTON. o<*.t. 22.—The earthquake was felt very distinctly in Boston and the nc igh boring country. VY ORCHESTER, Oct. 22.—The earthquake this morning la-Ted about three seconds, the motion appearing to be from ea-t to west. Movement- of lesser violence followed, about two seconds intervening. NEW HAMPSHIRE. CONCORD. Oct. 22.—Several distinct shocks of earthquake were felt here early this morning. No damage was done. CONNECTICUT. HARTFORD, Oct. 22.—The earthquake was distinctly felt here this morning. The Verger Case. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 1869.—1t has been ascertained that the occasion of the special Cabinet meeting, on Wednesday last, was the consideration of the notorious Yer ger case. Attorney General Hoar had ex pressed the opinion that, owing to the well known defects of those sections of therecon struction acts referring to the jiiriadinjmij ~t die Giiluiuiu, ihc Oupteure Court wt l un doubtedly render an opinion irt the case ad verse to the powers of the military tribunal before which Yergcr wastri'dand convict ed. The result of the consultation was, id' course, a decision to abide by the final actii n of the court. It is generally understood that this final action will not be promulgate d by the court until after Congress meets. No one pretends to deny the fact of Verger's guilt, but both Democrats and Re;u lican admit that he ought tobe tried by compe tent con-iitutional authority, and conse quently the expected dicision of the Su preme Court will be received with satisfac tion by all parties concerned. In this con nection it is proper to add that the rumors printed regarding President Giant's intcn lion to di-regard the mandates of the court, are proved to be f'al-e by the f.ct that it ha been in his power to execute Verger's sen tence at any time since tt was forwatded to him for approval. Instead of doing so. however, he ha.- anxiously courted the in tervention of the judiciary for the purpose of being governed in his actions by the high est authority which could possibly be inter ested in the case. It is therefoie probable that in due course of time Yerger will be turned over to the civil authorities for trial. The Eatc Judicial Election in Cali fornia. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 23.—The majori ties of the Supreme Judges are for Crockett, Democrat, supported by the Independents, 3,181, and for Wallace, Democrat, 697. The vote was unusually light, only 13.500 being east. Owing to the rain there was general apathy in the judicial election, and nothing definite has betn rec ived. It has been raining for three days, and tl e telegraph lines are out. of order. The returns from the interior are favora ble to the Democrats, and the election of J. B. Crockett and Wm. Wallace, Democrats, for the Supreme Court beoeh. is conceded. Late Alaska advices report rich discoveries o>' gold in the lake country, in the southern rait of the Territory. Prospectors say that S2O a day can be made. The Indians are hostile to the projected settlement of the Boston men in their country. From France. PARIS, Oct. 22. —It is asserted that a number of Deputies propose to introduce a law at the next meetiim of the Corps to an nul the decree of 1852. confiscating the property of the Orleans princes. The Patrie reports that the ultra tadicals are visiting workshops and urgiug the men to take pari in the demonstration of the 26th in-t. La Presse says the revolutionary commit tee in Paris have warned the workmen in ihe provinces that on October 26 ib'-re will he a general unri-ing in this city. The tad ical journals do not approve the proposed demonstration. It is rumored that L-dru Itollio, Felix Pratt, \ ictor Hugo. Louis Blanc, and other extreme radicals, will come forward as candidates for the Corps in the supplementary elections soon to be held in Paris. A duel was fought to day between Count de Blanmont and the Duke de Fitz James, and the latter was dangerou-ly wounded. From Spain. 3IADP.ID. Oct. 22. —The indications now are that the Duke of Montpen.ier will be the successful candidate for the throne of Sptin. MADRID, Oct. 22 —The country general'y is tranquil. Senor Oren-e. a celebrated Re publican leader in the Cortes, has been ar rested. MADRID, Oct. 22. —The Press strongly urges the immediate election of a King, and suggests the elevation of Espanero to the throne for life, and the designation of the Duke of Genoa as his successor. In the Cortes, the question of ordering an election for Deputies, to supply the places ol those who joined the insurgents, is now under consideration. SOME young rascal, of somewhat the same size, complexion and build as Prince Arthur, palmed himself off in a house of revelry in Teronto, a few days ago, as the genuine Prince. He was accompanied by several other young scamps, whom he styled hia brother officers. They ran up a hill of SIOO and went off without, paying. But the proprietors of the house were very glad to have the privilege of serving them. PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION. Vote of Slate In 1868 aad 180a. Attn. GES. Govtsxos.

A Sketch of the New Senator from Ten nessee. The Senator elect, Mr. Cooper, is well known in Tennessee. He was born in Maury county, in that State, during the eat ly part ot thu pre-eut ceututy, and is uow a uian tn the prime of Itle. He is a brother of Edward Cooper, well known tx our leaders as the Secretary ol President Johu.-on during his administration. He moved to Bed lord county at an early age, siudied law, and was admitted (o the bar. ALer a few years his practice became large, and he was known as one of the ablest law yers iu ihe Siate. About the year 1850 Mr. Cooper married, and during I lie sauie year he first eutered into political tile. At this time he xvas elected to the State I>egi-la ure by a ma jority ot some SUU roes, aOer a m si ex citing contest. At the next elec ion be win, opposed by ihe most popular and intbiential man in thecountiy. and liisdeleat by seveiat hundreds was regard, d as a matter ol abso luie certainty. Mr. Cooper, however, en -11-red upon the canvass with great energy and determination, lie imparted to his sup porteo ilio cnuff. r and served in that po.-itn n until 18<>6, when he resigned for the purpose ol ae cepling a chair in the Faculty of the Cum berland University ot Lebanon. Several times during his term he endeavoted to resign, but Governor Brownlow, although aware of his conservatism, declined to re ceive the resignation. In one of his messages to the legislature B.ownlow re ferred to Juuge Cooper iu the highest terms of praise, expressing his earnest re gre that ihe State Judiciary should be de prived of so pure and upright a member. At the recent election in Tennessee Mr. Cooper was ihe Conservative nominee for the Stati! Senate Irom the Eighteenth dis trict of Tennessee, and was elected by a >arge majority. south America. The Earthquake along the Coast. NEW Y T ORK, Oct. 23.—The steamer Ari zona, from Aspinwall October 10, at rived here this morning, bringing important par ticulars of the earthquake a!oug the Pat- fie coast of South America ou the Ist iust. Tt.e small town ol Chat-as, in the department ol Arequippa, was entirely d>stroycd. I be governor of the city reports that the shock lasted lour minutes ai d a hall, and was much stronger than that of August 13, a yea r ago. The extreme (otce of ihisenrh quake confined itself to Chacas alone, for in the neighboring towu it was only observed. In the southern part of Peru, in theterrito ry lying betwten the 15th and 20th degrees, -ouih latitude, the more violeut shocks con stantly continue. The rec ni violent up hearings occurred while the moon was about hall way fioui the earth and was set en days old, and Professor Falb's theory has not been demonstrated. In Peru tin violent earthquakes had been experienced since the fiistof the month, hut until October is passed there are strong ieurs in many quarters, ami rents in all the large cities have fallen c -n-iderably. In Balvsdor, on the Sth uit., a rather se vere earthquake wa.- experienced in the capi tal. which was, however, of only a few sec onds duration. RAILROAD SlGNALS. —Electricity is here after to he applied to railroad switches to cgulute the signals s > that it will be out of the question for an accident to happen by switches being left carelessly o|>en or iuse etirely fastened. An instiument, similar in character to a magnet, is applied to the up right oHhe switch, and the lever working switch is nicely fixed so as to operate the magnet, which is connected by wires to the signal box, .-otne two squares distant. The instruments and liattetiea u-ed at the signal station- are similar to tbo.-e found in a telegraph office, excepting a machine for winding up the cord connected with the red signal flag, which; howe< cr, is veiy simple in its construction, yet efficacious. " The red signal is made of a piece of flannel taclied to a square frame, which is fitted iu the box. A glass door in the latter protects it from the wrather. When a switch is open, either an inch or all the way, the red signai lowers, and when closed it raises displacing a white back ground. The cutting of the wire will likewise eau-e the red -ignal to drop BO .that if the least thing is Wrong about the switch or the wires the engineer of an approaching train caunot fail to detect it.
