Unl'P8 we can obtain an extension of time it jill require $2.25 to secure the Freeman and American Stock Journal for one year after the first of March, ami when that month closes e shall ceare to ffer the Jwrnal as a premium to tubscribers. Let tkote therefore who want that useful agricul- tuial aud stock monthly act at once. Our lady fi lends are not actiDg as prom fit ly as we had hoped in the matter cf securing the Detnorest Monthly and tbe majrnifircLt prize picture in connection with the Free man. Only two ladies, ore in Ilaltimire and the other in Johnstown, have yet availed themselves of this offer. Let us hear from you right away, ladies. Remember that the Freeman, the Monthly and a $10 engraving are all given for $3 P5. The bill repealing the fifteenth section of the Registry Law, which abolished the Spring elections, was passed through its second reading in the Hotiye on Thursday last. The bill now in course of passage provides that the several election, township, borough aud ward officers ducted in October, 18C9, shall continue iu office during the terms fr which they were elected, aud until tbeit successors shall have been duly elected and qualified : and fixes the time for hereafter holding the township and borough elections on the third Friday in March. We think that such are the provisions cf the law. It i very defectively drawn, aud the Solon vbo accomplikhed the tak, ought to make one more tff-irt in that direction and then for ever quit the buainees. Another Outrage. The Senate Committee in the contested election case of Edward Scull and Hiram Findlay have roads a report awarding the teat to Judge Findlay. Scull did not even attempt to offer any evidence sustaining his allegation, that a large number of frauJu leut votes had been cast for Mr. Findlay in Somerset couuty, although he was afforded every facility by ths committee to do so. lie virtually abaudoned the case, and con tented himself with addresaiog to the mem bers of the committee a most abusive and iosulting letter, which was returned o him by a unanimous vote of the committee. To contest Mr. Findlay plain and admitted right tj his seat was a fraud from the begin ning, and has reflected anything but honor on Scull and those who stood nt his back. The other contested seat in the Senate that of Diamond against Watt has not yet been disposed of. Tbe Liquor Bill. The proposed new license law passed to a third reading in the House laat week. It was so amended as to submit the question of "license" or "no license" to a vote of the people of an entire county, instead of to the ptoplo of a borough, ward or township, as was provided in the original bill. We judge that the bill will fail to become a law. We are one of thoee who believe that nei ther the people of a State, nor cf any county in a State, can be legislated 'mto a blissful state of temperance. The Legislature may enact law after law on this surjtct it may pile Pelion on Ossa and yet the desired end will not be attained. The experiment has heretofore been tried in other States and in certain localities in our own State, and has resulted in lamentable and disastrous failure. As long as ardent spirit continue to be man ufactured, men mcy be disttiidtd from their use and induced neither to touch, taste nor handle, but that much 6ought after and de sirable result never has been and never wiil be accomplished by legal enactments, how ever stringent or severe. If this question is to be fairly tested, let our moral reformers at Harrisburg pass the Maine liquor law and submit it to a vote of the people of the entire State. That would he the straight-forward and honest way of lrgii-lating ou this question. Tlie Removal Farce. In the House of Representatives at Har r'uburg, on last Friday, the Committee on New Counties and County Seats reported favorably the celebrated bill providing for the removal, if the people so decide by their votes, of the county seat from Ebensburg to Johnstown. We have no doubt that the leaders of this ridiculous movement felt quite jubilant over the news, and that iu Johns town everything was and still continues to be "lovely" rnd "the goose hangs high." In this community, so far as we cxn judge, the action of the Committee has not produced any marked or nnusual sensational, nor has it in'the slightest degree ruffled the temper of our people. On the contrary, it is regard ed as the most stupendous jwke of the season, ll not of the session. It is one thing to pro care the rpport of a bill, but it is another and quite a different thing, to mould it into the shape of a law. It has yet to pass through the several intricate and perilous stages of a fiery legislative ordeal, and that which is to-day luscious and tempting fruit may yet, like Dead Sea apples, turn to ashes cn the lips. This is not tbe time, nor is this the place, to discuss the merits of the issue. For that Jhtre is reserved an appropriate tribunal. In connection with th?8 subject, the JolAs town Tribune has asserted and reasserted that the County Commisbioners acted ille gally in purchasing a lot on which to erect the new jail, without having fmt obtained the sanction of two successive Grand Juries, as well as that of the Court. Will the Tribune please to inform us where the Act of Assembly which, in bis judg ment, has thus been violated, can be found? If ha wiil consult the distinguished legal gentleman who sent him the dispatch from Harrisburg last Friday, even he will Inform him that the power to. erect a jail implies and carries with it the power to purchase the necessary ground for that purpose. A moEt villainous bill is before the pres ent Radical Congress. It has for its olject a total and sweeping change cf the present naturalisation laws, and proposes to take away from the State tribunals all jurisdic tion over tho naturalization of foreigners and to confer on the United States Courts in the various States exclusive control and au thority on the subject. The following is a Bynopsis if the bill : It is first provided that any alien may become a citizen of tbe United States upon the fallowing, among other conditions: First. Such alien shall have continuously resided within tbe United State, with the iutention to become a citizen thereof, at least four years before making his applica tion fi-r naturalization, and shall have resi ded six months in the State, and except in cafes specially provided for thirty days in the district, county, or pariah iu which such application is made, next before making th same. Second, That at least twenty days before the first day of tbe term or ses sion of tbe court, at which such alien intends to apply for citizenship, he shall file with the clerk or prothonatory of such court a notice of his intention, which notice shall state his name, age, residence, occupation or busintss, the couutry and place of bis birth, the time and place of his arrival in tho United States, and tho place or places of his residence since his arrival in the United States ; and if such alien be a resident of a town or city in which the streets are num bered, aud in which the streets are named nd the houses numbered, be shall also state the street and number of his residence at the time of filing his notice, and such notice thall also give the name of at least two cit izens who are residents of the same town, parish, or city, who are acquainted with the applicant aud his resilience ; and no alien shall, be admitted toTnaturalization unless such notice, iu substantial compliance here with, thall have been complied with. Pro vision is made that evidence shall be taken, in case ol jtction is made to the uatcraliza tion of any alien. The most important fea ture of the bill is that taking the naturali zation question out of the hands of the State courts. It provides that the proceedings for the naturalization of aliens tray be had before the circuit and district courts of the United States, and in any county or parish wherein there shall not be holden anutially mure tl an two stated or appointed terms of one or both cf said courts of tha Uiiited States, tuch proceedings fr naturalization may also be had in thejeourt ofbighest juris diction in such State, Territory, or District having a Clerk, Potbor.otary, and peal there of, which holds a stated orjn gular session for the trial of civil causes iu such county or parish ; and no other court shall entertain r have jnrisdicticn of such proceedings. This course will relieve the State courts in nearly all the large citiss." It is a part of the political history of the couutry that the enemios of the Democratic party have never, from the "alien and sedi tion" times of the elder Adams, borne any love towards foreigners, for the reason that they usually vote the Democratic ticket. His administration was repudiated aud driv en from power by the people, under the leadership of Jrffersrn, on that more than upon any other distinct issue. It is in per fect keeping with the fanatical and prescrip tive tendencies cf the present Radical party, that after having by one fell swoop, through fraud and force, conferred the right of suf frage on more than half a million of igno rant and uneducated negroes in the South, it should cap the climax of its infamy by now inaugurating a war of proscription agaiust intelligent and educated white for eigners. If tli is bill should become a law, n foreigner can hereafter become a citizen who has not. four years previously, filed his declaration of intention. Tbe plain and in tended effect of its passage will be to render void and of no tfiect every declaration cf intentions which has heretofore been made, but which has not yet been consummated, by the person making it. The whole pro cess will therefore havo to be commenced over again, and a new declaration of inten tion must be made after the passage of this new Radical scheme. Is this fair, or is it honest to the men of foreigu birth who come here to make this country their permanent home 1 What will be the reply of our Irish and German population, as well as the thou sands of others from all parts of Europe who have sought an asylum from tyranny and oppression in this, according to radical logic "The greatest and freest government in the world." There are just Jour places in this State at which United States Courts are held. Tbe nearest point from Cambrit county, would be Pittsburg. Suppose that a foreigner "should be compelled, under this Radical re form, to go from this county, as he must, to Pittsburg to file his declara'ion of intention, and then be compelled to go back at the end of four years, with one or more witnesses, to procure bis certificate of citizenship, what would be the actual cost. and how many cf our Irish and German "trash" could afford the necessary and unavoidable expense, as well as the law's delays? If such a law were now in existance it would practically amount to a perfect denial of the right of citizenship. It is a desperate scheme, and if it succeeds it were better for on honest and intelligent foreigner that he had never seen the shores of this couutry. Such is the vile spint of Radicalism, and such is its pre tended love for the down-trodden and op pressed of other and hitherto less fortiicato countries than this blasted "model republic" After the denial of bid seat in Congress to Henry D. Foster, the next democratic vic tim of the tyranny and parttsannhip of the Committee ou Elections, is the Hon. George W. Gieene, the democratic representative of one of the interior districts of New York. He was elected over his radical opponent, Van Wyck, by a majority of 422 vtes. But that was a trifling obstacle to the gross nsnrpations of this unscrupulous Committee.' It will be seen from the following telegraphic dispatch that although General Paine, the Chairman of the Committee, and w ho seem to be tbe only honest radical on it, made a vigorous speech iu favor of the light of Mr. Greene to his seat, yet it was of no avail. What democrat will be next sacrificed to this radical Moloch? Radical Proscription. The Ilouse to day threw nearly the whole force of its par tisan majority against the right of Hon. Geo. W. Greene to his seat as the Demociatic Representative of the Democratic Eleventh District of New York, and gave it to his Radical contestant. Charles H. Van Wyck, and this, too, in tbe face of the protest of that earnest and generally honest Radical, General Paine, the chairman of the Commit tee on Elections, who made a vigorous speech, in which he demonstrated beyond the possibility of a doubt that, even throw ing out the two precincts in Newburg where naturalization frauds were alleged to have been committed, Mr. Greene still remained elected. Gen. Slocum made a good speech cf ours. Tub Sccll-Fin-play Cask. The Com. mitUe Report in Favor of Mndlay. The Committee in the Scull-Findlay contested case from the Twentieth Seuatorial District had another meeting yesterday afternoon. The contestant, Mr. Scull, did not appear and was not represented by counsel. Mr. Brooke, a member of tbe committee, how ever, presented a communication frdra Mr. Scull, in which a majority of the committee were charged with prejudging the case. It was unanimously resolved by the committee not to receive the paper, and the clerk was instructed to return the same to Mr. Scull. Mr. Coffroth. of counsel for Mr. Findlay, de sired tho committee to throw open every avenue to tbe contestant for the proof of his allegations of fraud. Mr. Scull's action is abandonment of the case, and the commit tee unanimously decided to award the seat to Mr. Findlay. Senator Lowry severely censured the course of Mr. Scull in trying to cbtahJ tbe seat by unfair means. in behalf of the sitting member, and quoted from tbe essay of Mr. Dawes, for many years chairman of the E'cction Committee, to show tbe general unfairness and partisanship f that committee. Messrs. Randall and Burr did good service in behalf of Mr. Greene, but it was no ti6e, for Van Wyck flew around the floor lik a cat, lobbying with members and prompting replies to pertinent inquiries, lie got Schenck to come up in his behalf, and that iruecible eld gentleman made one of his partisan appeals, in which he was un fortunate emugh to hold up to the Ilouse some Radical naturalization frauds as being nf Democratic origin, but was fully exposed by Messrs. Slocum and Cox. On the ques tion cf allowing Mr. Grtene to retain his seat the vote was nearly a party one, 50 to 121 ; and. on a motion to unseat both, the vote was about the same. Finally a resolu tion was parsed declaring Van Wyck enti tled to the scat, and he will be pworn in to morrow. Washington Car. N. Y. World. Tlie Irish Land Question, So far as we on this side of the water may be supposed competent to judge of a meas ure fundamentally affecting that intricate portion of British polity known as tho Irish land question. Mr. Gladstone's reform bill seems admiiably adapted to a practical so lution of the problem. Security of tenure, facilitation of transfer, rebate for improve ments, limitation of the heretofore harsh rights of eviction, and. above all, tbe ad ministration of the land law by arbitration, are the main features of the new bill, which is to have its second reading on the 7th of next month. To estimate the difficulties in the English Premier's way, it must be re membered that the English title is that of conquest, and that the Irish, while submit ting to, have never acquiesced in that claim. From generation to generation the landlord has held by club law, and the tenant writhed under the consciousness of being but a ten ant where he believed himself rightly a possessor. With this fundamental variance of views, it is not surprising that landlords in Ireland clung to the irritant right of eviction, and tenants to the counter-irritant of a shot from behind the hedge. "Put me out of my land, not your land," the Irish man would argue, "and I will treat you to a dose from my blunderbuss as I would any Our Ilarrifcbur? Letter. IlARKi&BUna, Feb. 19, 1870. Dear Freeman After an animated dis cussion the Treasury bill intioduc-ed by Mr. White, of Allegheny, passed the House final ly on Tuesday night by a vote of 76 to 5. The bill provides that the salary of the Treasurer shall be 88,000 per year, that he shall give securities to the amount of $500. 000. and that the funds shall be deposited in Bank on interest for the benefit of the State. An act supplementary to the acts relative to elections was postponed until next Thurs day. This act repeals the 15th section of the Registry Law and provides that town ship and borough elections shall be held on the third Friday in March, as heretofore. A further supplement to the act entit'ed an act to consolidate, revise and amend the penal laws of this Commonwealth has been introduced. It provides that where any par ty io subpoenaed to testify in auy prosecu tion for forgery, perjury or felony, and shall be fined in a sum not exceeding two thous and dollars or undergo an imprisonment not exceeding two years, or both, or either, at the discretion of the Court. The following bills have also been pre sented: An act to divide the Borough of Carrolltown into two wards, and an act granting a pension to Elisha M. Luckett. Tbe act for the removal of the county sept from Ebensburg to Johnstown was reported favorably, on Friday last, by the Committee on Counties and Townships. H. The pREsmr.NT Appoint-in His Own Fatuer a Postmaster. The leapnoint ment i.f old Jesse R. Grant to be postmaster of Covington for four yeais hmger is one of those little things which is not easy to ac count for. Old Jesse does not need the of fice and the office dors not need old Jesse. He is a weak, querulous old man, iucapable because he is w eak and unpopular because he is querulo'is. Aside from having no claim upon tho Post OfGce Department and no capacity to be a Postmaster, he is the father of the Pres ideut of the United States. There is an ob vious impropriety, not undiluted with a cer tain absurdity, iu his holding a little village place of this sort. If he is not above it, as very likely he is not, his offspring should be above it. Old Jesse is seventy years of age, and an awful old chatter-box and tattler. He has a competency. Never very wise, he has been growing in folly ever since his son began to grow in fortune. Why should he be Postmaster of Covington? He ought to bo pickled and preserved and stowed away in one of the glass cases at the White House, the Patent Office or the Smithsonian Insti t u te. Lou is v ill e Cou rier- Journal. Tiiere is a wail in Pennsylvania by reason of the fact that the control of the Legisla ture there has passed out of Radical hands, and because the Governor, our old friend Gearj', no longer heeds the voice of them that made him. Possessing furesight, his Excellency sees change coming, and so trims his sails to Democratic breezes, and similar ly the Legislature does the same. These things much perturb the faithful, and, with a Ptrange oblivion as to the suicidal nature of the remedy, ths Pittsburg Gazelle propo ses that the party purify itself by drumming out all its ''bummers" and "thieves." This done, it thinks to "soon find the ways open, perhaps through a defeat or two. to fresh and solid triumphs." It is pleasant to know, first, that the Governor aud Legislature of Pennsylvania are drifting out of Radical reach ; and, second, that, even at its best, the Gazette sees no other immediate future for its party than defeat. N. Y. World. Mississippi Senators. As soon as the Mississippi bill shall be passed there will probably arise an interesting personal ques tion touching the admission as Senators of Revels, uegro, and Ames, the military satrap by whose bayonets the State was carried for the Republicans and his own election to the Senate effected. The proceeding is regarded by Democrats as a gross outrage aud a bold ertep towards a military despotism than even the election of the negro Revels. It is still probable that there will be objection to the swearirg in of these persons, and that their papers will be referred to the Judiciary Committee. It is objected to Ames that he was never a citizen of Mississippi, but mere ly an army officer there on duty ; that he got and that he yet retains his commission and will continue to retain it, quitting the SUto ia case his admission ia refused.

This regulation has been made on accouut of the extensive frauds alleged to have been committed by washing, restoring and using internal adhesive revenue stamps which have been oLce cancelled by the "rib bon stamp machine." Tho Commissioner orders that after May lsr, 1870. no other met hr.fi of cancellation than that first men tioned above thall be recognized as legal j or sufficient. ry." the EugKshman would say, "and tbe moment the rent fails out trot my tenants." To meet this state of affairs, Mr. Gladstone has had need of all the anility of his admin istration ; and that ability, to judge from the abstract of the bill telegraphed us, has come nearer a solution of the Irith laud question than any heretofore presented by an English Ministry. Equity, rather than strict law. is the animating principle of this bill ; and, quity being equality, "splitting the differ ence" is Mr. Gladstone's panacea. The conquest title is recogn:zed as a title; but then the tenant right is to be a much more assured and stable tenant right. Facilities for converting a tenant right into a landlord, right are liberally furnished ; and then, to offset this, other facilities are granted for the improvement and security of landlorda' prop erty. Eviction is still allowed, but when resorted to is to operate, ipso faclo, a release of all claim upon tenants ; and. though the "cess," or county tax, remains, laudlord and tenant arc to pay it half aud half. With these as the main features of the new bill, there are some lesser provisions of a quiet ing nature, most noticeable among them the confirin'itiun of "Ulster customs." Ulfter, ns the reader know?, is the northernmost pro vince of Ireland, and contains those counties which hold the Scotch-Irih population. At the time that the Stuarts first began io reign, this particular portion of Ireland was so turbulent that a wholesale system of con fiscation and resettlement, kuovvu as "the Uist r plantation," was resorted to. Most of the Irish were rooted out of tho province and their possessions portioned among Scotch and English bent ficiaries, who, by the terms of their giants, were to have no Irish ten ants, that right being reserved to sich few of the original Irish chiefs as it was supposed would only receive as tenants those cf their countrymen who acquiesced in the English domination. Oat of these conditions grew a system of tc-nautage known as "Ulster cus toms," so dear to the North of Ireland peo ple that Mr. G adstone has not seen fit to break down the old tules there in anything like the same proportion as in the other provinces. Perhaps this is of the less im portance, as in the Provinces of Omnaught, Leinster, and Munster the great Iiih land grievances have had their seat, and to them more particularly, therefore, the provisions of the reform bill are framed to apply.

A Match Tor Revels. According to the statement of the Near Yotk World, some years ago a negro rascal was confined in Sing Sing prison and served out his term. Ou graduating from that celebrated institution, this dusky individu al bocame a protege of the most Honorable Charles Sumner, and studied law with that sweet-scented philanthropist. Admitted to the Boston bar, Mr. A. Alpeora Bradley for that is his name managed to practice with such success as to be kicked out of court. After being struck from the roll of practicing attorneys in negro loving Massa chusetts, the great Alpeora wandered down South, where he has been playing the role of a pacificator. He became one of the poli tical magnates of Georgia, was elected to the conventiwn. and assisted to frame the reconstructed constitution of that State un til thiust out by his associates. For a cer tain season Mr. A. Alpeora Bradley remained under a cloud as dark as bis own 6kin ; but through the late Radical reconstruction of Georgia by Grant's satrap, Terry, tbe negio ex-convict has turned np in all the pomp and glory of a State Senator.

The effect of this message was terrible upon the delicate Vice President. His breakfast was thrown up at once, and since then his stomach has been greatly deranged. He is still so much affected that he has not been able to reply to the honorable ex-convict. But tbe colored Senator could not wait.
