to be a vain, conceited, email minded indi
vidual. His conduct last winter in approv
ing the Tillainous acts of tbe last legislature
proved him le be a very corrupt one and
now, by the testimony ot his chief legal ad
viser, be ttaads before the people of his
State a self-convicted liar. Tbe fscts con
nected with bis removal of Benjamin H.
Brewster from the Attorney Generalship of
the State and bia appointment of F. Grrol
Brewster to that poaitioo are before tbe pub
lic, and prove him guilty of unparalleled
duplicity and Ingratitude toward his own
officer, wboee ability saved bis administra
tion front contempt and secured hie re-election
to a poaition be has disgraced, and for
tehith At teas never filled. We aie not the
defender of Mr. Biewater, and have little
sympathy for him. He, of all men, knew
Geary, and knew bow utterly uuworthy he
was of the poaition he held. He could have
saved the State from tbe humiliation and
disgrace of continuing this man in an office
which be has already dishonored; but be
cared more for himself than he did for the
honor of the State, and he has his reward
Let his fate be a warning to others not to
follow his example.
By his shameful conduct Geary has struck
the Republican party a severe blow; but it
waa merited, because that party is responsi
ble for the disgrace he baa heaped upon the
8tate. That party has made him Governor,
and, against the better judgment of the beat
men in the party, forced him upon the State
a aecond time.
Old. steadfast and time honored members
of the party, men of ability like Ketcbam,
Grow, Morebead, and a host of others, were
set aaide to give place to this charlatan and
adventurer in the party, who never had any
aympatby with its principles, and who, leaa
than three months before his nomination,
wrote a letter declaring that be always had
been and was still a Democrat, and waa ask
ing the nomination of that party. It is such
men aa Geary who have brought difgrace
and reproach upon the Republican party,
and who will yet ruin and deatn y it. But
it ia not the party alone that auffrra. but the
whole State.. The Sunday Dispatch well
says : "It is a new humiliation for us to
know that for three years tbe interests of the
Commonwealth and the honor of the State
are to remain in tbe hands of a man to whom
honor is a stranger." The dishonor be baa
heaped upon the 8tate he can never wipe
out. If he would have the people forget it,
let him reatgu the office he baa disgraced and
retire into the obscurity from which he never
should have been drawn.
Tax Chairman of the Democratic County
Committee having notified that body to la
sers U a oa Monday, the 6th of December
next, we this week append the names of the
members of the committee to said call. Aa
tho business which tbe cTtsmittee haa been
called to take into consideration vitally can
cerns the future weal or woe of the demo
cratsc party of tbe county, it ia to be hoped
that every member will be present, in order
to give weight and character to whatever
action it ma take ia the premises. If but
a few of the members atteud. the conclusions
at which they may arrive will have but lit
tle force, and will not command tbe entire
respect of the party. We therefore trat
that every member of tbe committee will
see tbe importance, even at some personal
inconvenience, of attending the proposed
meeting on the first Monday of Court.
At tbe last Weitmoreland County Court,
John Covode indicted the officers of the
Youngstown election district in Unity town
ship. In that county, for misconduct as offi
cers of the election board. This is the dis
trict in which Covode alleged that a large
number of illegal and fraudulent votes had
been cast for Gen. Foster. "Honest John,"
however, was afraid to risk the chances of a
trial before a jury, and therefore abandoned
the prosecution and paid offVu costs! This
looks very much like aa acknowledgment of
the falsehood of the broad and aweeping
charges which, in his place in Congress, be
preferred against th election efficers of that
district, as well as agSinst the Pope and the
Irish.

TBJt B1BXX IV SCHOOLS.
The school directors of Cincinnati and
Brooklyn, having aboKshed tbe use of the
Bible in schools, a general bowl has been
raised by the preas all ever tbe land as well
as by other persons who do not look at that
good book more than once a year, if so often.
We reverence the Bible too much to favor
its introduction into pnblic crowds, for the
same reason that a clergyman once refused
to open a Fourth of July celebration with
prayer, and that another distinguished
Scotch clergyman refused to say grace at a
tavern dinner, as it would only be "casting
pearls before swine.
8tce people, however, who nevrr read
the Bible and could not stand an examina
tion on any chapter In it. become filled with
holy horror at its disuse in a common school.
They are contentious merely, and not pious.
Horace Greeley opens the disensaion at
present as follows :
"There looms npon cur near horizon a tesn
fest destined to rack onr fabrle of popular
gorerrment to Its foundations. Slavery waa a
glftatie evl aad peril in its noon day of pride

easy provoke outbreaks more formidable than
was the 8. ethers Rebellion.
"The Immediate bona of contention, so far
as tbis controversy has yet developed itself, is
the Bible in Schools.
"Educated in the common schools of New
England (tho seed-bed ssd nursery of all Com
mon Fchoole), we like tbe idea of having tbe
Bible nred as a text-book in schools. It was
so used in the schools wherein we were taught,
snd we cannot realize that it ever did ua any
harm. On tbe contrary, we believe that such
use of the Good Book not only exerts a whole
some moral influence bnt imparts a beneficial
intellectual stimulus. We believe the Scotch
are a more intelligent, more capable, more
tbtlfty race beceuse of the Bible-reading to
which tbey are generally and eminently addic
ted from infancy."
The Johnstown Tribune imitates its great
prototype on tbe subject as follows:
"The school directors of Cincinnati have
prohibited the reading of the Bible in all tho
public schools of that city. The majority
which ao voted ia composed partly of Catho
lics, partlv of non believer, and three Protee
tanta. The decision has crested intense ex
citement in Cincinnati and elsewhere. It is
understood to be part o( a matured plan of the
Catholic Church in tbia country to break down
the common school system, or else secure a di
vision of the scoool funds so that tbe children
of Catholic pa rente may receive a Catholic ed
ucation at the expense ot the Stale "
Before proceeding further, we would aajt
what is the Bible ? Some Christians discard
the Old Testament almost entirely. One
prominent Trotestant poet and divine said
that "David was a Jew whose mind was too
iIstV tn illnminftte CTiriatiAna rif niti . v tt
..-j.
Others discard portions of the New Testa
ment. and still others insist on a new version,
arguing that King James' translation is not
correct.
To give a more definite IJea of tbe dis
putes about the Bible, we copy the following
article from last wetk's New York Weekly
Tribune the same paper that we first quite
from in this article. It is a criticism, or
rather pvff, of Mr. Renan's "Life of St.
Paul." If anybody can learn from it what
the Bible ia tbey can do more than we can.
The Tcitune says : "The orthodox scholars
accept the book of 'Acts.' throughout as genu
ine and authentic, and reject but one of the
great Epistles aacribed to Paul, namely, the
Ej.itle to the Hebrews. The radical school
accepts confidently but four of tbe Epiotles

that toe Chairman of the Democrat tc Conn
ty Committee baa notified the several mem
bers thereof to meet in Ebensbuig on Mrn
day, Dec. 6th, to determine bow and when
the question of a change in the mode of nom
inating our county tickets shall be submitted
to the Democtacy of the county. This in
wise movement, for unless some chan? is
made there aro fatal breakers ahead. I un
derstand that two plana are talked about.
One is what is called the Crawford County
System," under which the members of the
party in each election diatrict "would rote di
rect for all tbe candidates to be elected in the
ensuing fall. The other plan is to allow
each district one delegate, and then to in
crease the number according to a fixed ratio,
based on the vote polled in the several dis
tricts at the last Presidential election. I
have heard this subject discussed a good deal
by the Democrats of this place, as well as
by the Democrats of Allegheny town-hip,
and I speak within the bounds of truth
when I aay that nine tenths of them are in
favor of the Crawford county system. They
believe that they are better qualified to vote
for the candidates of their choice than a del
egate convention is to select them. We are
sick acd tired of tbe delegate system, and
do not want to have anything more to do
with it in any shape whatever. It has been
weighed in tho balance and found wanting.
We now want the nominating system chang
es, o mat we can vote on vie square for the
parsons we aeem mo roost competent an
ncserviog tor too respective otnee. Arenot
the Damocratic voters intelligent and honest
enough to do this, or must it be done for
them in lees than three hours by a conven
tion composed perhaps of more than ens
hundred delegates ?
The action of the committee, at its meet
ing, will be watched with deep interest
Let it submit the "Crawford County System"
and the "Increased Delegate Sys.em" to a
vote of tbe Democracy of the county, at an
election to be held on the day that tbe Spring
elections have heretofore been he!d. The
result, whatever it may be. most prove sat

ackuowledged to be the Model Parlor Maga
zine of America.
The engraving, 28 by 35 inches, is from
the original painting, entitled, Ta Pic
Nic o tux 4m or July."
The painting took a whole year, aad Is
considered tbe finest of tbe entire list of nu
meroos popular productions by Lillie M.
Spencer. The engraving was the labor of
four years, by three eminent artists Jehu
Rodgers, John Halpio, and Samuel Hollyer ;
tbe last named havicg been iuduccd to come
from Europe to America expressly to finish
it. The engravers have ably seconded the
successful labors of tbe painter. None but
artuts can fully appreciate tbe skill and la
bor lavished on this engraving. The gener
al effect ia very fiue and impressive, and the
delicate finish to tbe beads will bear the
most minute inspection. The union ef the
line and stipple is executed with unusual
ability, and their skillful combination has
greatly contributed to the succsss of the en
gravers in this unsurpassed proof if their
axtistical genius.
Tbe work on the engraving alone cost over
seven thousand doltsrs. besides the cast of
the copyright, and is acknowledged by com
petent judges tbe most elaborately finished
large work of art ever eugraved a America.
Fine copies of this Magnificent Picture, en
heavy piato paper, worth 910 each, are te
be given as a Premium to each subscriber te

Subscriptions only three dollars and ten
cents (which ia to be aent with the subscript
lion), for the postage on the engraving,
(which will be mailed securtly done np on

This is certainly tbe largest, most liberal
and splendid premium ever offered te single
subscribers by any publisher, and affords an
easy and economical way for any one to se
cure an elegant work of art, a Parlor Picture
that is only next te a piano in the way of
ornamentation, and a perpetual reminder of
a day which ought to be cherished and held
in remembrance of every true American.
The reception of this magnificent picture
will take every one by surprise, and we do
not venture anything in aay ing that $10 will
not procure another that combines so much

has been induced to give the public his "ex

over thirty excellent engravings. His pub
lic career of over "forty busy years" baa
been most eventful, and ia recited to us here
in in spirited naralive, beguiling the reader
irreaistably on to the end aa surely as he
opens the book. The work is not only ex

study, "human nature," but abounds with
humorous anecdotes well told. Whoever
likes fun mingled with good sense, or would
learn "men and things,' thoroughly and
how to get along in the world," aad ' make

"Stsvoslbs amd TaioMras."
Tbe book contains bis celebreted lecture
on "Tbe Art of Money-Getting." which ex
cites so much interest and comment ia Eng

which is worth in itself many times tbe cost
of the book. Aa a traveler Barnnm exhibits

ondelet. have sold two thousand three hun
dred tnnsef pig iron to Gerald Ballon, rf
8t. Loeis, to be manufactured into railroad
iron. This ie said te be the largest single
sale of Iron ever made wast of tbe Allegba
niea. Tbe latest returns of tke Minnesota elec
tion show a majority of twelve hnndred for
Austin, the Radical candidate for Governor.
Although Otis has ben defeated, tbe Dem
ocrats did exceedingly well in reducing the
Radical unajnrlty ef fifteen thousand fr
Grant to a little more than one thousand for
Austin.

A mail train on the Harlem railmad
was blown from the trsck nesr Boston Cor
ners, daring tbe gale on Wedneaday morn
ing, and fell down aa embankment. The
express, mail, and baggage ears, with their
contents, were destroyed by fire. Several
persons wtre injured, and one, a boy thirteen
years old. was killed.
Degenerate Boston refused to raise tbe
funds that Miss Kate Fieid solicited jn that
city of saintly proclivities for the purchase
of the "John Brown Farm." Wicked New
York, however, came to the rescue, supply
ing groenbacka Icatead of words, a was the
case with Boston, and the soul of the saint
will go marching on regardless of the fact
that bia body "lies a mouldering." ete.
The Chicago American Churchman haa
pretty clear conception of the Yankee. In
a late issue, ia the discussion of the Mormon
question, it asserts that the knaves In Utah
are nearly all Yankees, including the "apos
tles." "bishops" and "elders," and all who
get the tithes; while the dupes are mainly
very degraded European peasants, many of
them from England acd Wales, and mem
bars by baptism of the EnglUb Church
The editor says "There nevrr existed but
one Mormon Irishman, and a Mormon Irish
woman is something totally ncknown to
naturalists."
Tbe appointment by President Grant
of Mr. J. R. Jones, rccaaioned some aurprisa
at the time, bnt is fully explained now. The
Chicago Time says : 'People who are still
wondering why President Grant appointed
Chevalier Jonea to tbe mission at Brussels
may have less cauae to wonder when tbey
learn that the bock tit of deeds, at page
462 to be seen in the Recorder's office in
this city, there is recorded from J. Russell
Jones to U. 8. Grsnt. conveying about ore
hundred acre of land, for the nominal con
sideration of one dollar. The deed was filed
for record on the 28th day of May, 1369 "
The act of agratefnl mother is thus re
corded by the B -ston Transcript : A few
days ago Mrs Buxton, a California lady, and
her little girl, were cioaciig tbe square in
front of Scoilay's Building, when the child
narrowly escaped injury by a horse car.
She cwed her preservation tn the thought
fuineas and prompt action of Mlaa Emma F.
Pmuty, whoaaw the danger the child was
exposed to. and drew her beyond the reach of
harm. Tbe rescuers address was obtained,
and the grateful mother has since presented
Miss Poaty whb a valuable gold watch,
chain, ring, and splendid silk dress, as con
veners of her inert oricus action.
A Family Hoaaoa By a gentleman who
arrived in tbis city from Carroll ton, Greece
county. Illinois, yesterday, says tbe Puts
burg r&tt of 8aturnay laat, we learn the
general facts concerning a startling crime ia
that vicinity. It involves the family of a
widowed daughter of a late governor of Illi
nois. For some time suspicions -have been
had that all was not right with a yonng
daughter belonging to the family, who be
came the object of neighborhood scandal.
Two or three weeks ago she was taken very
sick, and tbe aid of a physician was called
in, by whom she was found to be in labor.
He contented himself by prescribing, but, as
he now says, did not remain until the de
nouement. Several days having paired, and
matters resuming their ordinary course, with
out any apparent chauge in the number of
the family, suspicion was excited, which,
becoming somewhat uncomfortable to the
physician referred to, led him to make a
clean breast of his knowledge of the affair.
On Wednesday last matters came to a crisis,
resulting in a search of the premises. Phy
siciaus who examined the remains gave it
aa their opinion that the child had been born
alive. Our informant states that the widow,
her daughter, and son-in-law, whose wife
ia now dead, but who ia suspected of know
ing quite too much of the afiair, have been
arrested aud held for examination. The
community are reported to be very much
excited over the affair in their midst.
PExriEE roa the Cehbos Taker. Next
year will occur the grtat decennial census of
tbe United Stales, made by the general gov
ernment. Persons will be appointed for
every locality in the States snd townships
to gather statistics of the inhabitants, and
of alt tbe agricultural productions, manufac
turers, &c. Each cultivator will be asked
for a concise, accurate statement of land,
occupied by bim, the number of acres, and
the amount of each crop raised during the
year, ending June 80th next. Those who
were called on before will doubtless remem
ber tbe difficulty in making np an accurate
report of the various crops. As these reports
will be called for in June, it will be necessa
ry to give in the crops gathered thia fall,
and tbe suggestion that we would now make
is. that cultivators write down, while fresh
in mind, the number of acme snder cultiva
tion, the number of acres of each kind, the
amount per acre, and tbe gross amount.
The milk product also, and the amount of
pork. beef, etc, will be asked for, as well as
all kinds of fruit, etc.
A Can roa thb Waits or Stie. About a
month ago. Sister Trene, formerly connected
with 8t. Peter's Church, Berkley street. N.
Y-. established a house for foundlings 17
East Twelfth street, that city. Since 'that
time thirteen infants have been left in the
area and on the steps of the house by fugi
tive mothers, who thus rid themselves of tbe
living evidence of their shame. Two of the
babes were abandoned in a storm, and lay
for a few minntes at the threshold of tK-
door. A crib, however, for the reception of
me wans ni siu naa oeeo placed in the area,
and when it shall receive a candidate it will
be taken inside and receive maternal care
No case of infanticide has been reported in
that city since this novel asylum for deserted
innocent were established. The good 8ister
in charge now appeals to the pnbUe for
means so so stain this hory enterpTie
