BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAf. APRIL 15. 1870
VETO of the JERSEY SHORE RAIL
ROAD BILL.
Governor Geary has again earned the
sincere thanks of every honest I'ennsvlva
nian. He has vetoed the Jersey Shore
Railroad Bill which proposed to take from
the Stale Treasury $9,500,000 of bonds and
appropriate them to the building of a
couple railroads in order to benefit one OT
two rich corporations. The friends of the
bill were bold in their assertions that the
Governor would sign it, believing that he
would not dare ,<J interfere with the inter
ests of the corporations that prepared and
backed the bill, and that expected to reap
the profits of the robbery. The unseemly
haste with which it was rushed through
both Houses from the very moment it was
tiist read was enough to condemn it in the
eyes of honest men. No bill founded on
right, justice and honesty need be hurried
through in that style. It is ouly such a?
will not bear public scrutiny that are at
tempted to be passed in such a summary
at.d hasty style.
The Governor vetoes it, because it is
unconstitutional under the 4tb, sth, and 6th
Sections of Article Xfth. part of the Amend
ments of 18G7, which are as follows :
"SEC. TV. To provide for the payment of
the present debt, and anyadditional debt con
tracted as alnreea'd. the legislature shall, a'
its first session after the adoption of this
amendment, create a sinking fund whicL
shall be sufficient tc pav the accruing in
terest on such debt, and annually to reduce
the principal thereof by a sum not less than
two hundred and fffty thousand dollars, which
Aiiiti stiart constat ot the nei a.t
income of the public works from time to
time owned hy the State, ot the proceeds ot
the sale of the name Or any part thereof, and
of the income or proceeds of sale of stock?
owned by the State, together with other
funds Or regonrcps that may he desigrta'-d
by law. The said sinking lund may be in
creased from time to time by assigning to it
any part of the taxes or other revenues ol the
State, not required for the ordinary and
current expenses of government: and unless
rn case of war, or invasion or insurrection, no
part of the said sinking fund shall be used or
applied otherwise than in extinguishment ot
the public debt, until the amount of such
debt is reduced below the sum of five millions
of dollars."
"SEC. V. The credit of the Commonwealth
shall not in any manner or event be pledged
or loaned to any individual, company, cor
poration or association; nor shall the Com
monweabh hereafter become a joint owner
or stockholder in any company, association
or corporation."
"SEC. VI. The Commonwealth shall not
assume the debt, or any part thereof, of any
county, city, borough or township; or of any
corporation or association, unless such dent
shall have been contracted to enable the
State to. repel invasion, suppress domestic
insurrection, defend itsell tn time or war, or
to assist the State in the discharge of any por
tion of its present indebtedness. "
This is quite sufficient cause for vetoing
the bill. But the Governor further argues
that it is inexpedient to permit the seenri
ties now in the Treasury, and which are
good, to be exchanged for the bonds of a
road that is not yet built, and which, when
built, may not be of any value to its bond
holders for balf a century to come. The
Governor has planted himself ou a solid
footing and the people rejoice in the defeat
of perhaps the greatest piece of rascality
perpetrated by the Leeislatue iust ad
journed.
THE STATE ELECTIONS.
The vote in Connecticut was 3000 less
than last year, which is the real cause of the
election of a Democratic Governor. The
Fifteenth amendment will only swell our
majority next time. English though a
Democrat, stands hy the Fifteenth Amend
ment. In Ohio the Spring elections show
Republican victories. In Cincinnati. Toledo,
Cleveland, and other cities the Republicans
were victorious. In the tenth Congressional
District there was a Republican gain of 3000.
Rhode Island re elected her Republican
Governor ar.d State officers on Wednesday,
by about 4,030 majority. The vote was
light. As far as known the Senate stands
23 R"ptih!;cans. 8 Democrats, art 1 1 Citizen,
and the Houses 2 Republicans and 14 Demo
crats. In one Senatorial and 4 Repre
sentative di-tricts is probably no
choice. It is understood that the new Leg
islature will ro filect Mr. Anthony to tha
Foiled States Senate.
ID IS ilmington. Delaware on the Ist inst,
a??isted by the colored vote the Republicans
carried the City and carried constcrnatiou
into the Democratic ranks.
IN MISSOURI. At St. Joseph the entire
Republican ticket was elected. Kansas City
and Ltavenworfh were carried by tbe Dera
oerats, colored men voting without op|>osi
tion in tho-e cities.
St. L iuis despatches say the election in
that city has resulted in the choice of 11
Republican Aldermen to 3 Democrats and
one Independent. Of the school directors,
s are Ropuhlican and three Democrats.
THE Pittsburgh Commercial advocates
the calling of a Constitutional Convention
to draft a new Constitution for the state,
abolishing special legislation increasing the
number of members in our Legislature to
600 and Senators to 200 or 300. We bo|>e
the whole matter will receive general discus
sion. Something must be done A new
Constitution may help matters but il mean*
can devised to get a better e'ass of men
to Harrisburg it will do more good in reform
ing legislation. At present the majority,
without regatd to party go there to make
money by selling, trading and all the vari
ous and nefarious ways known to the initia
led. So few devote themselves to the work
for which they arc sent that they are unable
to accomplish anything.
TAKEN ABACK.—The Maryland Legisla
ture were taken by surprise on the 2nd inst.,
wneo Gov. Bowie returned to them with
his veto, a biii declaring that none but icAife
citizens should vote in elections of town
commissioner*. The Governor politely in
formed this very Democratic Legislature
.there is not a single Republican in it), that
tbeir bill was in conflict with the Fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the Uni
ted Slates. Gov. Bowie is also a Democrat,
but he has learned that facts are stubborn
things, and so informs his Democratic
brethren that the Fifteenth Amendment
stands in the way of their "white man's
party."
IIIF. COXSETTICCT ELECTION.— EngIish
the Democratic Candidate was elected Gov
r°' on tba M in " by 810 majority. The
Republican majority last year was 411. The
Republican majority in the Sent:'* is 1 and
in the House 15. The day was unfavorable
and a light vote was polied, this with the
unu.ua! popu'arity of English accounts for
the change in the vote of 12 21. The
moneyed men who 01-joct to paying their in
come taxes are trying to make it appear,
that the effort to continue the income tax
caused the defeat in Connecticut. We can t
see it that way.

THE closing scenes of (he Legislature on

THE Treasury bill was at last passed hy thr
-I.legislature before adjournment, but is such
an unintel'igiMe and contradictory jumhl.
that it is doubtful if the Governor will ?igt
it. It is but little, if any, better than none
and seems to have been parsed in a despcr
ate effort to satisfy the demand of the peo
pie, and yet leave the affairs of the Treasu
ry to go on in the old, slipshod way.
THE U. S. Senate last week passed the
bill extending the Income tax to the pre=ent

it. The re-enactment of the law if made at
all will likely fix the tax at 3 per eent in
stead of five and exempt S2OOO. In tha'
shape it ought not to meet with much oppo

the vast amount of private legislation don.

LETTER I Ril.lt HARRISBL'KU.
IIARRISBCRO, Pa., April 8, WO.
lUK FINAL ADJOURN'ME N'T
of the Legislature took place at noon yester
day, and nearly all the members have return
ed to their homes. The last day was one of
considerable excitment; caused principally
by the unexpected reception of a message
from the Governor, vetoing what i termed
the "Omnibus Railroad Bill," by which nine
millions of railroad bonds were lo be taken
from the Sinking Fund, and the bonds of
j roads not yet built substituted in their place.
1 An ineffectual attempt was made to exlet.d
j the session a few days in order to pass the
i bill over the Governor's veto. Had the veto
! message been received even the day belore
! the adjournment, there is a probability that
troth Houses would have again passed the
j bill, by the requisite two t hitds majority, to
! make it a law. The friends of ihe measure
! are very indignant at the course of the Gov
! eroor, claiming that up to a late hour on the
night previous he intimated, in the most
! positive manner, that he would sign the bill.
| The propriety of tho legislation which the
bill proposed has been the subject of very
; severe criticisms in many sections of ihe
Stale, and there is not much doubt that
popular sentiment will generally sustain
the course of the Governor in vetoing the
measure.
THE DIAMOND WATT CASE
j of the Senate was decided on Tuesday morn
i ' n S by 'be Committee, the majority awarding
; ihe seat to the sitting member, Mr. Watt, the
! Ueptiblican. This contest has been the lon
' geet and most severe of any that ever took
[dace in the Pennsylvania Legislature, for
upon its decision might hinge the political
complexion of the Senate the coming year.
Seveial hundred witnesses were examined,
from New \ork, Baltimore and Philadelphia
and a state of corruption and fraud shown that
was perfectly astounding. On the vote as to
whether Mr. Walt was entitled to retain his
seat Messrs. Graham, Brooke, Warfel and
Kerr, ail Republicans, voted "aye,"' and
Messes. Randall and Miller, Democrats, and
Mr. Lowry, Republican, voted "no." Mr.
Lowry, however finally signed the majority
report, giving the seal to Mr. Watt.
SUPERINTENDENT OP SOLDIERS' ORPHANS.
The Governor bos nominated Col. Gen. F.
M I- arland. to continue as Superintendent of
•he Soldiers' Orphans' Schools for the next
three years. The Senate acted upon the
nomination on Wednesday, and rejected it by
a vote of 11 to 18. This was quite nnexpec
ted to the Colonel, and the blow falls upon
bim heavily. Daring the past two years
there have been a good many charges made
against him as to the improper management
of the Department, of which he was the bead
and allegations that the funds that; passed
through his hands were, to quite an extent,
diverted to his own private benefit. A com
mittee appointed last year to investigate the
subject reported, at the opening of Ihe pres
ent session, that they bad been unable to
discern any improper conduct on his part,
and exonerated him from the charges made.
Tbc report waa, however, looked upon by
many as a "whitewashing" one, and even
Senator Graham, who made it voted against
the confirmation of the nomination. The
friends of Col. M' 1-arland are loud in their
denunciations of the course of the Senate,
while many of those who were opposed to bis
re confirmation are equally bitter in their
charges against him. The whole suhjcct of
the management of the Soldiers' Orphans'
Schools evidently needs a through investiga
tion.
THE LEGISLATION or THE SESSION
has been mostly of a private character.—The
number of public bills passed is quite small,
and comparatively unimportant. The Border
Claim bill never even passed the Bouse
The Local Option bill, in reference to license
failed in the Senate. The bill abolishing the
Death penalty was never repotted from com
miltee. The bill in reference to the manage
ment of the Treasury finally passed w.th a
load of amendments that will probably make
it of uo practical value whatever. The bills
in reference to the calling of a Constitutional
t onvention. and proposing Constitutional a
mendcu nts failed to p*ss either House. But
the amount of private legislation has been en
ormous, and as hundreds of bills were passed
by their titles, without so much as on exarui.
nation by a committee, much otitis doubt
less of a questionable character.
THE SPEAKER OF THE SENATE.
Previous to adjournment the Republican
Senators unanimously chose General Harry
White Speaker of the Senate lor 1871. The
new speaker i from the twents-eeond Sena
'orial district, composed of the counties of
Indiana, Cambria and Jefferson. The pres
eut session closed the second tear of his sec

is a lawyer by profession, made a brilliant
military record dumg the war. has been
prominently spoken of in connection with the
Governorship of the S'ate, and will make an
excellent presiding officer of the Senate.

NEW VOKK, April 9. —A letter from the
Darten expedition da'ed Caledonia Bay.
March lfi, states that on arrival the Indian
on both sides of the bay wassured that
they would not be molested and tiuA, friend
ship secured. Washington river was ex
plored a mile from its mouth, when the boats
sent found it impossible to proceed further
and returmd, but it was decided to com
mence the survey about, three hundredyaids
from the month of this river. Subsequently
Captain S-lliidgo, accmpani d hy o'h-r
officers and sixty-four marines, starred hy
way of the Caledonia river to reach tin;
headwaters of the Savannah riier, and te
turned on the 3d of March. They passed
over Lieutenant Strain's route for a eoni.-id
eral.le distance following the Caledonia river
to the foot of the last range of the Cordil
leras. that divides the Caribbean sea frotn
the Pacific slope; then crossed the moon
tains to the western slope; had an interview
with an Indian chief and then returned. It
was a successful reeonnuisance, demonstra
ting that the Cal-donia river has a rise of
only fifty feet. The river is on the Pacific
slope, and there are but one and a half miles
of h'gher elevation. It, w lielieved the sur
veys will prove the existenceo'a watershed
between the Caledonia and Sucubli livers,
which is not more than one hundred and fifty
feet. Pack mules have been sent for to
Cait'nagena. The surveyors are running a
line to the lowest ofihe mountain passes,
hut the work is slow, owing to the dense
undergrowth. The expedi ion is healthy.
The Indians ate friendly, but it is said those
on the Pacific slope are not. Several passes
will soon be examined bv Selfiidge, and all
are sanguine of success.
INDIGNATION AGAINST EYRE.—It i
quite natmal that tht-re should be the
-tmngest possible feeling in America at tli<*
conduct of the Cptain of the Buttihay, hut
I think I can safely as-ure you that the feel
ing here is almost if not quite as stiong.
The only difference I can perceive is a dis
position to wait umil all the facts in the case
can lie known. If it is pioved that that
officer actually turned his back upon the
Oneida, knowing her condition, it would
not be sate for htm ever again to show his
| head in England; snd even now the niyste
rious sentence of the tribunal belore which
the ease was examined cau.-es the greatest
astonishment- If captain Eyre was not
guilty he ought not to have been punished
at all; hut if guilty, he could hot have heen
guilty in part, and the suspension of his
| certificate for six months is about the most
; mad. quate and ridiculous punishment ever
infl ct-d upon a man. to whoc carelessness
! or willul neglect must be au>U.nradL

Ax IRON ore is said to have been diseov
e red in York county. Pennsylvania, which
lias the peculair power of transforming | ig
iron into good steel by a simple mixture of
the two in a pudd ing furnace. The ore is
soft and friable iu the bed, so much so that
it can be mined with the spade, hut upon
exposure to the atmosphere it so- n hardens.
Professor Lesley, who has examined the ore
be i, estimates the contents at seventeen
million tons.
SENATOR BE\ El.s has stated, in conver
sation, that the constant rush upon hint
since he took his seat has almo.-t prostrated
his nervous system—so much so that he
considers himself compelled to seek a place
of test. He states thai the raids of newspa
per interviewers upon hiui have been tre
mendous, and believes that where othet
Senators have one caller, he probably has
ten. He proposes to leave Washington for
a f.-w weeks, tor the North and West.
THE Philadelphia Ltefgrr says- There*
sons given by the Governor for the veto of
! , hallway bill are conclusive
both as to the law and the sound policy of
the case. Tbe whole scheme was a gigantic
combination of "log rolling legation," j
which is fuibidd-n by the Constitution; of
spoliation of the Sinking fund, which id a
violation of the same instrument, and of
plunder for the benefit of corporation--,
which hive no claim upon the puhlia funds
of the State. It was well described by
Senator Buekalcw when he stigmatized't in
the Senate as * the big steal;" and the Gov
ernor is entitled to the thanks of the entire
Commonwealth for interposing his constitu
tional authority to defeat it.
A GERMAN paper publishes the following
carious siH'i-tic- concerning the European
railroad-' "A railroad train cntnpo-ed of all
the locomotives and cars of the European
companies tnvht liegin at Paris and end at
St. Petersburg. Ic might contain 400 000
traveler*. who.-e cars would he followed by
400 000 freight cars. The European raii

The rails weieh no lea than 150 000 000

which annually consume 800,000,000 pounds
of coal."
THE recent action of the S-ipte on the
income tax has not ht-en properly under-tood.
The subjoined statement of its nature is cor.
rect:
The bill provides for the continuance du
ring 1870 of the tax of five p> r cent, on in
c-'Uie i.erived from the following snurees, to
wit: Dividends ol banks, trust compauius.
-avings' institutions and in-uranee com pa
niea, dividrnds arid inreic-t on the bonds of
internal improvement companies, and sala
ries ol persons in the civil, military, nava',
or other employment, of the United States.
The other sections of the law which imposes
a tax of five per cent, on the gains, profits
and income of evety citizen, have been post
poned for consideration, when the general
revenue law comes ujvbefore Cungresj for
action
A I.ADV. writing from Washington, thus
describes Mis. Sprague, the wife of the
Kbode l-latid Senator "Before, us walks,
or rather undulates, a -lender lady of finest
mold, with the most delicious curve of throat
and chin pos-ible. It recalls at once that
throat of E'hel Newconic, that Thackeray
praised so much. Add to this a youthful
ehet k, that charming no-e. straight in itself
•'vile it relieves the line of the brow; bright
deer-like eyes, and spirited 00-e of the small
head; siuomh white complexion, with a
-rreak of r< d in the cheek-, burning like th
flame in an opal; s'oping shoulders, and a
graceful hand. Such is th- presentment of
Mrs. Spragup. I could tcarcely believe her
to lie eighieen by gaslight. I had imagined
a slim cold leanty. bite most of the society
belles, and this exqui-ite creature, with up
lilted head, like a deer just risen from its
couch of feru, took one and all by blissful
surprise."
BIG TREES. -The Land Office is in re
ceipt of a specimen of cones Tom the big
! tree/'Wa-binetonea Gigantea," collected in
a grove about two miles north ol Thomas'
saw mill, forty five utiles from Vi-a'ia, Cali
fornia. Oneof'the group, commonly known
as the "Old Maid," was mea-ured, and her
waist found to be niuetv feet in circuml'er

I in the vicinity called the "General Grant,"
| hut the officer of the Land Bureau did not
1 have the good fortune to find it. An ex
, animation made into hollow chambers of
i fallen trees to a di-iance of four feet, show-d
that there was an abundance of mom to ride
to their terminus single file, wh-el. and

formed that there is another similar grove
few uii'es distant fron- the one described.
I These trees belong to the same c'a-s as the

I THE Democratic journals of the country
| are evidently reduced to a de-perate strait
for some tangible and probable ground of
' opposition to the present Aduiini-trarion,
since tliey have fieen driven into the ne
cessirv ot impugning the motives of Presi
dent Grant in advi-ing the acqui-irion of
San Domingo. In bonmahe coi.tia-t to
th i slanderous iu-iou uion- of the journals
of that pariy generally is the following from
the Boston Frist:
Nobody who know the President has
doubted that in urging the ratification of
the San Polling., treaty, with whatever
errors of judgment and taste in them- thuds
adopted, he has been actuated so'ely by pa

! But it has n-.t overtlirywn the far weigh.i.-r

j pVRE COLD WATER.
The But and Cheapest Pump now in use.
S. G. MASON'S
DOUBLE-ACTING NON-FREEZING
CAST-IRON FORCE RUMP.
Thi? Punin hap been awarded the PITtST PRE
MIUM at the New York, Ohio, and Pennsylva
tiia State Fairs.
.This Pump never freezes, from the fact that the
moment you nop pumping. the water gradually
drops back to a level with the wter in tbe we 1:
consequently you always get PURE COLD
WATER. It will force water any distance through
pipe, anil in crm of FIRE, is valuable, as water
may be thr-wn to the distance of from fifty to
eix'y foot fr tn ira mouth, by H'tu<>hing .'I *r four
feet of small h3c It is POl BLK ACTING,
and can he worked with eai-e. It is just the
thing to wash wagns buggies, and wafer gar
dens, Ac., and every farmer and mechanic should
have one of these pu in pa. As fr Health, this
Pump hag leen pronounced by our leading Phy
sicians as b;ing one of the very best pumps now
in use. It is generally known that wooden pumps
hold the water in the stalk, and of course it tastes
more or less of the wood. This Pump leaves aii
tbe wafer drop back just as soon as you atop
pumping, to the level of the wafer in the well.
So you get PURE COLD WATER from the bot
tom of the well every time you draw a bucket
fall. There are about 92 of thea** pumps now in
use in this county, for one and two years, and
ibey have ALL given perfect satisfaction. Not
one of these has frozen since they have been put
in. For reference I can give some of the very
best men in our town and county. Call and see
this pump work before purchasing any o'her.

FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
Tb reputation this ezo1)nt medicine enjpys,
is derived from its cures, many of which are trolr
marvel iocs. Inveterate ca*e§ of Scrofulous dls
ease, where the svstem seemed saturated with cor
ruption. have been purified and cured by it.
S'-rofulous affections and disorders, which were
aggravated by the scrofulous contamination until
they were pninfoHy aff.i' ting, have Heen radically
cured In *och great nnrnhfrs In almost every sec
tion of the country, that the public scarcely need
to he informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous prison is one of the most destruc
tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and
unfelt tenant of tbe organism undermine* the con
(dilution, and invites the attack of enfeebling ft
fatal disease*. wi?h< ut exciting a suspic on of fte
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
through tbe body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidlv develop into one or other of its
hideous forms, eiiber on the surface or among (he
vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly
deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors forme I
in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions
on the skin or foul ulcerations on some part of
the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle
of this BARBAPARILI.A is advisable, even whn
no active symptom* of disease appear. Persnn
aftl "ted with the following compla nts generally
find immediate r lief. and. at length cure, by the
use of this SAKS APA HILL A: St. Anthony'*

the muscular ami nervous systems.
Sgphili* or Venereal and Mercurial
are cured by if, though a long time is leqnfred
for subduing these obstinate maladies l>v any med
icine- But long continued use of this medicine
will cure the coil*ldsiint. Leucorrhren or White*,
llterini Ulceration*, and Female Di*ea*e*, are
commonly goon relieved and u'titna'ely cured by
its purifying and invigorating effort. Minute Di
rections for each cae are found in our Almanac,

caused by accumulations of extraneous matters
in the blood, yield quickly to it. as also Lire /
