Ocary in Court.
Wi: havo bad occasion before
now lo expose infamous disregard
of law, and tho disgraceful and con
temptible political partlzanshlp of
the present Governor of Pennsylvania.
We are called upon this week to add
another chapter to hlsdisgraccful record.
At tho last fall election George W.
M'Kwen and Parvln Eves, n Judge and
Inspector of elections, In Greenwood
township, refused tho volo of Joshua
D.ivlsa qualified elector, upon tho al
leged ground that hu was a deserter.
They wcro Indicted in the Quarter Ses
sions, a true bill found and tho case
called for trial at December term. The
defendants swore they could not try for
want of a material wtlncst, absent in
tho West, and tho cause went over.
On Monday last they appeared in
Court, and when tho easo was called,
their counsel, Messrs. Ikeler and llal
dy, produced a pardon from Governor
Geary, and the defendants were dis
charged, the count; lo pay the costs.
It is clear now, that the continuance
at December, instead of being for want
of a material witness as sworn to, was
in reality for want of time to get a par
don; they not daring to trust their do-
fenso in tho hands of a Jury under the
law. Tho truth is, thero Is no defenso
in tho ease. Tho Supremo Court In tho
cao of Iluber vs. Roily, Judgo Strong
delivering tho opinion says: "Tho pow
er to determine who shall or who shall
not bo a voter In tho Slate, belongs to
tho Stalo itself, and tho Constitution of
tho State gives Congress no power to
prescrllio tho qualifications of electors
In tho States. A citizen drafted into
tho sorvito of tho United States, who
had notleo but refused to report and
was registered as a deserter, tinder the
acts of Congress, is nevertheless enti
tled to vote, unless ho has been convic
ted of desertion by n court-martial."
3 Smith 112.
The defendants therefore stand before
tho country guilty of this misdemeanor
but escaping a just punishment by n
pardon ; an application for which ad
mits Just and deserved punishment.
They refused to put tho document on
file for the examination of tho public.

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBUllG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
Columbia County Tcachors' Asso
ciation. Tin: Teachers of Columbia County,
puistiant to a call, met at the lllooms
burg Literary Institute, February 1st,
lo organize a Teachers' Association.
Though tho weather was extremely
cold, n goodly number of teachers were
present.
The mcellng was called to order by
Prof. Carver. Superintendent C. G.
Darkley, was elected President pro-torn
and S. C. Joyne Secretary.
F. M. Hales, Chairman of commilteo
appointed by Teachers' Institute, Nov.
1807, reported a constitution. Deport
aecepted and committee discharged.
The constitution was then adopted by
sections. Several sections wcro amend
ed nfter eliciting a spirited and Inter
esting debate.
Tho morning session was' nearly con
sumed In adopting the constitution.
A committee, consisting of F. M.
Hates, Prof. Carver and Prof, Rest, was
appointed to arrange programmo for
afternoon session.
Adjourned to meet nt 1.(10 l'.M.

rison Treasurer.
Tho President then requested tho
teachers and thosi-conlemplatlngteach
Ing to eomo forward and subscrlbo to
the constitution. Every teacher prcs
enl signed It.
The association then witnessed with
pleasure, an exercise in singing by a
class of littlo girls and boys of Prof.
Carver's school.
Their performance was excellent and
reflected much credit on their teacher
and tho Institute. Several of tho young
gentlemen declaimed and a few of the
young ladles reatl essays. The excrel
scs wcro highly entertaining. Prol.
Carver then delivered nu excellent lcC'
ture. Subject, Education. Ho asserted
that wo live in a money-getting ago,
and if money bo tho object, the quick
est, easiest ami best way lo secure it to
tho young, is by giving them a liberal
education.
Tho lecture was listened lo wllh pro
found attention. A vote of thanks was
tendered to Prof. Carver for his able and
eloquent lecture.
Moved, that when we adjourn, wo
adjourn to meet nt Derwlck on the first
Saturday in May next.
Much discussion was elicited by tills
motion. It was opposed hocauso Dor
wick is in tho upper part of the county,
and therefore not convenient. On tho
oilier side it was urged that the Associ
ation lo accomplish what It should,must
meet lu different parts of tho county,
thereby arousing a truo and lively in
terest In the eauso of education among
School Directors nnd patrons of public
schools. Nearly all participated In tho
debate. After a lively and interesting
discussion tho resolution was passed
unanimously.

School Expenses.
Dy a glance nt tho Auditor Gcneral'H
Report, it will ho seen that the appro
priation by tho Stato of tho school fund
to tho soveral counties, amounts to
$297,oS3 15. That sum is' distributed
among tho hundreds of thousands of
children throughout tho Stato ; but to ti
ft w hundred who aro denominated "sol
diers orphans," there is nsiun appropri
ated amounting to S3oO,fl5a,S3.
Now thoso children could bo and ought
to be, educated in their respective school
districts, without any additional ex
pense. Tho provision by taxation,
which schools other children, would
school them. Why then is it tiiat tho
pcoplo aro taxed for tho purposes of
their education, over threo hundred mid
fifty thousand dollars ?
For no reason under tho sun, except
to provldo places, imd fat ones at that,
for men who, unless they live oir of the
public, must starve.
Is Charles R. Duckalew a Senator In
Congress from Pennsylvania? As no
one ever hears of him, tho question is
pert i nen I .Milton Ian.
Perhaps tho best reply to tho abovo
would bo to substitute thu namo of Si
mon Cameron or Ulysses Mercur for
tiint of C. R. Duckalew. Tho latter
never makes a speech, and tho former
can't. Senator Duckalew, wo need hard
ly add, had spoken on all public ques
tions of moment, and his speeches havo
not only been widely circulated through
this country, but thousands havo been
printed nnd circulated abroad. Had
tho editor of tho Miltontan rend tho
Tribune ot January 20 th, ho would havo
found Iho following reference to his last
speech on Reconstruction. "He" (Pom
eroy) "was followed by Senator Duck
alew In a speech on tho other sldu of
tho question. Mr. Ducknlow's remark
were-listened to attentively, and aro
considered tho ablest exposition of tho
Democratic policy yet made."
Q FN. McC-.ri.i.an. Thu Hartford
correspondent of tho Doston Advertiser
writes tho following lu a recont letter :
A paragraph has been floating through
the press of tho country concerning a
proposition mndo lo General M'Clcllon
to accept the position of civil engineer
In an important railway work lu Paris.
I am also to say that it was partly on
account of this project that tho General
did not return homo In November. Ho
had engaged passage on tho Scotia, to
sail on tho 1ith, In company with
friends from Now York, and Hartford,
but gave up his tickets when tho rail

nate good sense which makes tho ar
ticle. En. Cor,u.tB!AX.
Tho Radical Presidential programme
Is rapidly developing. When Congress
met In November It gavo signs of mod
eration and regard Tor tho will of tho
pcoplo. The scheme of Impeachment
wns promptly dismissed. Rut since the
Christmas adjournment, Congress has
become more violent than ever. Stan
ton has been reinstated, a military dic
tatorship devised for tho South, and tho
Supremo Court Insulted and attacked.
At tho samu time, Grant has been an
nounced as tho Republican candidate for
President.
This movement clearly Indicates what
has recently taken placo within tho Re
publican lines. Tho Radicals have again
threatened disruption of tho parly If
their measures are not carried through,
and tho more moderato havu again sub
mlttcd. Rut as tho latter havo always
been governed hy the spoils, tho enndi
date for tho Presidency Is conceded lo
them. Tho Radicals are to havo tho
principles, nnd tho moderates tho plun
tier of tho party. Each division thus
gets what It most desires ; and success is
to bo secured by tho negro electoral
votes ofthe South pieced out with tho
military popularity of Grant.
It cannot be denied that this is a prom
Ising arrangement, and It must be op
posed by the Democracy with more In
tegrlty, but equal skill. While wo rely
upon tho soundness of our principles
and the indignant hostility of tho people
against the Radical projects of tyranny,
revolution anil negro supremacy, wo
must havo Presidential and Vlco 1'resl
deiitlal candidates who will command
the support of all that agree with us In
principle. Wo must havo candidates
whoso record and hi:,tory will entirely
satisfy those that aro expected to vote
for them. They must attract tho votes
of Conservatives who have formerly
acted with tho Radical party, and not
repel them. In short, thu Democratic
candidates must not carry weiyht in the
race.
In tho coming campaign wo want the
benefits of tho expcrlenco of tho last
eventful years, nnd de.lru to fight tho
battle of ISfiS upon tho living Issues of
tho present, and upon these alone.
Wo nru not of tbosu who think that
tho welfare of thu country or party de
pends upon an individual or two. There
aro many Democratic statesmen and
soldiers among whom wo c.ui Hud sat'
isfactory candidates for our National
ticket, and it is only necessary that these
should bo free from positive objection
Tlio Democracy will make tho coming
canvass distinctively upon principle
and It is only important to havo candi
dates whoso past career will notdeprivo
them of thu votes their principles would
attract.
Tho Pennsylvania delegation should
go to tho Democratic National Con ven-
tlonopen to tho conviction and frco from
all Instructions and preferences. Their
main purposo should bo to select tho
mostsultablo and twallablo candidates,
and for this reason they should bo itc
ccssablo to argument until tho very day
of tho Convention. Thcso revolution
ary times aro fruitful of change, nnd
tho candidates preferred in March
might not bo most acceptable In Juno.
Thu blunders of tho enemy, too, aro tak
ing placo so rapidly that wo should bo
In a condition to Improve them ns they
occur. The two-thirds rulo only re
quires discretion on tho part of one
third of thu Convention to secure us
from nn unfortuiiato nomination ; and
although wo entertain tho highest hopo
from tho patriotism and disinterested
ness ofthe wholobotly,it is consolatory
to know that tho prudenco of one-third
of its members will sufflco to snvo the
party and rcscuo tho country.

Tin: Springllcltl Republican says of
lotteries; "Wo may consider it a bot
tled thing that nil dealing in lotteries is
gambling, and manlfoslly demoralizing
and degrading, whatever may bo Its
preclso moral character anil criminality.
This is reason enough for avoiding tho
practice. Then, tho chances nro ten to
ono that whoever buys n lottery ticket
is swindled outright. It Is no Indica
tion that n lottery Is genuine and will

endorsed by buslnes men of somo note,

CONGRESSIONAL.
Fr.mtUAitY 1st The President of tho

a joint resolution of the Ohio Legisla

Constitutional Amendment. Mr. Sher
man denied Hint this was a first expres
sion of the will ofthe people of Ohio,
hi id Mr. Sunnier cqulended that a statu
could not withdraw Its approval when
once given. Tho mailer was referred
to the Judiciary Commilteo.
in the House, the resolutions of the
Stale of Ohio regarding the Constitu
tional Amendment were debatedut con
slderablu length, the question being on
a motion to refer to Judiciary Commit
tee, with instructions to report tho law
In tho ease. Tho motion finally pre
vailed; yeas, 110; nays, 31. The bill
providing for the continuance of the
Freedmen's Dureati for one year from
July 10, 1S08, was ordered printed and
recommitted to tho Committee on
l'reeilmen'.s Affairs. Tho Committee
on Elections reported three resolutions
in euso oi llio contested election in tno
Second Congressional District of Ken

Young Drown Is not entitled to thu sent

in thu House, thu Kentucky contest

Deck ami Cook, after which tlio subject
was postponed until to-day, nnd the
tiottso ntijotirncd.
Fnimi'AiiV I lu llio Senate yester
day a largo number of bills and resolu
Hons were Introduced and appropriate
ly referred. The Supplemental Recon
struction mil was taken up al tne expi
ration of the morning hour, when Mr.
Ferry nddres-ed the Senate, contending
that tho reconstruction laws of Congress
were in accordance witu tno constitu
tion. Hu was followed by Mr. Stewart.
Among tho bills presented nnd refer
red to thu Committee on Foreign Af
fairs was ono regarding American citi
zenship, and thu rhtlilH of naturalized
citizens ubroad. It declares the rights of
expatriation and naturalization us part
of tlio law of tliu hind, and requires the
Exccutlvo to protect till citizens when
in foreign lands on lawful business.
Tlio Kentucky election easo was discus
sed at considerable length. Mr. Robin
sou introduced a resolution relatlvo to
certain American Fenians imprisoned
in Ireland, directing tho President to
demand their release, and in ease of re
fusal, nuthorzing him to seizo certain
Dritl.sh subjects in tills country in retali
ation. A debate arose, and the tho res
olution was mutinied by striking out
that part authorizing reprises. Mr.
Robinson finally moved tho previous
question, but tho IIousu refused to sec
ond it, and llio resolution was then re
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Af
fairs. Tho Houso adjourned.

Wahi unci ton City, Jan. 20, 1SG3.
Senator Duckalew to-day delivered a
powerful speech in tho Senate on the
Reconstruction question, during which
ho produced some statistics which com
pletely upset several important points
in tho speech of Senator Trumbull,
mado bovernl days ago. He also show
ed by Indlsputablo facts nnd figures,
that instead of only C.0,000 Southern
whites being disfranchised by tho exist
ing Reconstruction nets, ns represented
by Mr. Trumbull, tho number Is actual
ly not less than 300,000 1 Mr. D. was re
peatedly interrupted dttrlntr tho deliv
ery of his speech, by Radical Senators,
who desired to ask questions or make
explanations; tints fallowing that they
felt extremely uneasy underhls irrefra
gable logic and scathing condemnation.
Senator Sherman, of Ohio, in undertak
ing an explanation, lrmiKiy annulled
Hint ho had never avnroved of tho act
which disfranchised tlio whites of thu
South and entrnncli hed thu blacks!
Yet, Senator Sherman was ono of those
who voted for that act when it passed
uiocjenaiei ills admission now, mat

Gkn. John Ricattv, tho Republican
candidate for Congress In tho VHIth
DWrlct of Ohio (to fill tlio vacancy
caused by the death of Mr. Hamilton),
was on Monday elected hy over one
thousand majority. Last' November
Gov. Hayes had only 210 majority In
the district. Tho result Is especially
irrntlfvlne and auspicious from the fact
that the Democracy threw their wholo
power, with Andrew Johnson tit their
head, into MiJIrst rcction in 1K0S ; that
iney uitt tneir utmost to get ono nici 10
sustain their noisy clamor about Con
gress belntr repudiated by tlio people.
Heruwusa test case; it was Congress
versus .lounson; a uongressnian was
to bo chosen: the district was to bay
tlio least very close, and needed but tho
change of two votes in a hi, ndred from
last October to glvo them thu coveted
victory. Miltontan.
Wu nro willing lo take the election
nbovu named ns n test case. At tho
Congressional eleitlon a llltlo over a
year ago, Hamilton was elected by 1852
majority. Deatty at tho special elec
tion has S00 nit Jority, a loss In ono
year of 1,052. Wotlontsce much com
fort to Radicals in that.
