Contesting Seats In Congress.
The practice, since the close of the war.
of defeated Radical candidates for Con
grcfts contesilng the scats of their puccees-
ful Democratic opponents, has become an
intolerable nuisance. Falsely and impu
der.tly assuming that the liadical party,
Bolitary and alone, fought the rebellion
and conquered it, it became almost on
article of Radical faith, that the people
had no right to elect a Democrat to Con
gress, and that if they dared to do fcu,
their action should be treated with con
tempt. Acting n 'hi doctrine, and pre
suming on their numerical ."trench in the
House, the Kadical majority four years
ago unseated D. W. Voorhee, from In
diana, Gen. Morgan, from Ohio, and
James Urooks, from the city of Now
York. No fair man doubted the legality
of their election ; jet it was decided in a
Kadioal caucus tint they must be uHicial
ly decapitated, and the outrage was con
eummated. These three gentlemen were
triumphantly returned by their indignant
constituents to the next Congres-s, and
were all re.clectcd by overwhelming ma
jj.ilics at the recent elections. One
would puppope that this lesson would have
produced a salutary effect upon the friends
of the lladiial candidates for Congresn
who were defeated at the late election in
this State. But as soon as tho election
was over and it was ascertained that Arm
strong v the Lycoming (Visit ict had been
defeated by Sherwood by 27, Morrell in
the Ctmbiiii district by Speer by 11, end
Cessna in the liedtoid district by Meyers,
by 15, it was proclaimed by the liadical
pre??, not of the districts themselves, but
outside of than, that the defeated candi
dates would contest the election. And
why 1 Simply because they were beaten
bv small majorities. la that & true test of
Grant and Cox
Grant's administration signalized its
commencement by a startling and inexcu
sable blunder, and as a general rule it has
been blundering ever since. Of all the
fatal mistakes, however, which Grant has
committed, his virtual dismissal of Gen.
Cox from the Department of the Interior
has created the greatest revulsion in pub
lic sentiment against him. Nearly all
the leading and influential liepublican
papers throughout tho county have ex
pressed their indignation of it in unmeas
ured terms. . The head and front of Sec
retary Cox's offence was, that he would
not allow certain Radical politicians from
Pennsylvania and Ohio to go into his De
part ment and demand from the clerks
therein employed a certain per cent, on
their ealariep, to be added to tho liadical
electioneering fund at the October election
in tho States named. His conduct iu this
respect excited the ire of those two vir
tuous and irreproachable patriots, Simon
Cameron and Zachaiiah Chandler, and
they set themselves at work to drive him
from the Cabinet. Grant listened to the
1h if the?c two corrupt and unscru
tt
pulous senators and yielded. General
Cox, although not form-illy dismissed,
M.r.t r.rant was readv to strike the
Ik v
blow, and tendered his resignation.
As a sample of the light in which
flriint'R conduct in this matter Is received
bv the Republican press, we publish be
two nr tides, the first from the New
York Evening Post and the second from
the Chicago Republican, both of which are
well known and able Radical papers and
have heretofore been warm supporters of
Grant and his administration :

The letters of Secretary C x. which wo

painful hderest by all true friends of Gentr

noxinccment f the President's unconditional
surrender to the "men inside of polities."
The new IVesident promised nothing so
often as that he wou'.d not appointor remove
for merely political reasons. Merit wan to

Grant gave, in regard to the conduct f his
administration; it teas almost the.only pledge
It meant a reform of the civil service ; it was
it candidate bo as fairly elected by ma
jority of fee votes 8 by a majority of
fee hnndrtd! Moet unquestionably so,
in the absence of plain, open and palpable
fraud. Where that can le clearly proven
there ought to be a contest. Has it been
alleged by the Republican papera in Ilair
and Huntingdon that illegal votes were
polled for Mr. Speer in either of those
counties? No such allegation haa ever
been made, but on the contrary many and
very ditFerent reasons have been given by
Mr. Morrell's friends in these two coun
ties for his failure in receiving the liepub
lican vote. We do not know what course
Mr. Morrell will take, but as he is known
to be a gentleman, it is fair to presume
accepted by the couutry as a promise that
the abuses in the civil department of the
government, which had grown to bo a mon
strous and fertile source of conuption, and a
serious cause of weakness to the Executive,
fchcnld be reformed.
Unfortunately, the President joined in one
condemnation all men who had been engaged
in politics ; he rejected the advice of the
statesmen as in neb as of the merest political
hacks of the party which elected him ; and,
so far as he could, selected for office his own
intimates. So far as these were good men.

Ttie Sprln? Elections.
Although the Legislature is not in ses-
sioD, we deem the present an opportune
time to refer briefly to the subject indica
ted at the head of this article. When the
Registry law was enacted, during the ses
sion of 18C9, a section was incorporated
in it abolishing the Spring elections and
directing borough and township officers to
be elected at the general election in Octo
ber. What moved the Legislature to
make this sudden vhange was a mystery
then and still remains so. Certain it is
that not a tingle petition from any part
of the State, asking for such haBty legis
lation, was ever presented to that- body.
If it was a mere experiment, it has most
signally failed to meet the expectations of
its advocates. After its first trial, at the
October election in 18G9, a universal de
mand for its prompt repeal went up from
one end of the State to the other. No pe
titions, or at least very few, were pre
sented to the Legislature asking that the
old order of things might be restored, for
the plain reason that the people, knowing
that their representatives, having once ex
perienced the workings of the law, would
themselves feel the necessity of wiping it
from the statute book. It is true that a
feeble effort to do so was made in the
House and failed. The law was acted
on the second time at the recent election
and failed to convince the people of the
State that it is wise and judicious, and
ought therefore to stand. The two elec
tions are for widely different purposes and
otiht to be hell at different times. To
hold them both on the same day is like
attempting to mix water and oil together.
In every aspect of the case, the arrange
ment is inconvenient and troublesome,
and must in the future, as in the past, fail
in meeting with public approbation. We
trust that this grievance will be thorough
ly ventilated by the public press through
out the State, that the attention of the
people will be specially directed to it, and
and that at the approaching session a per
fect avalanche of petitions from all parts
of the State will be precipitated upon the
Legislature, asking for the immediate re
peal of the obnoxious section. Let this
be done and then let the servants of the
people refuse to comply with their demands
'f thy dare.

Our community is much excited over
freak of nature in the production of a double
baby. The Siamese Twins are completely
overshadowed by this infant wonder. There
is living in Peru township. Morrow county,
a family named Finley. Up to last Wednes
day morning it consisted of Mr. Joseph Fin
ley, his wife Mary and two children, little
girls aged three and five years. On that
morning Mrs. Finley was confined and gave
birth to twins joined together in a manner
unknown to the books. When the gossips
brought the news of the event to our city,
and gave descriptions of the child, or rather
children, it was laughed at by the profes
sional, and pronounced a good hoax. ' A
gentleman living in the vicinity of the Finley
home called on one of our physicians and
assured him that there wm no exaggeration

It is asserted, as if by authority, that
John Cessna will contest the seat of li
F. Meyers. Any man who knowa Cess

pccially his dc mngogueif rn, will not beat

excited our special wonder. He declared
ven m advance of his nomination, that if
he should be defeated he would contest
the election. We make this statement
f.om a conversation we had a Fhort time
after the election, with a well known gen
tleman, formerly a citizen of Uedford, who
stated to us, that either in May or June
l ist, Cessna told him that if he teas de
feated, he u a.i determined to contrst the seat
of h.'s ojponcnt. The high character for
integrity of the gentleman who made this
6tateraent to ua is not to be questioned.

his difctrict declared by their votes he
should not occupy. Yet of such con
temptible stuff is Cessna made. That he
will signally fail in bis impudent attempt
to nullify and set aside the verdict of the
honest voters of his district, who, well

does not admit of a reasonable doubt.

General Grant nould, after all, make a
first rate oliliciaii.'y
If he meant to "go into politics," aa ihe
phrase is, he had at his hand a very shrewd
master of the ignoble art in Mr. BoutweH,
who, unless he is greatly belied, knows more
about "making up a slate." and about the
mysteries of dispensing office with a view to
party effect, than any other man in the Re
publican party.
Whoever was the President's tutor, he
has been, it seems, a wiliinjj. though not, iu
our jiidguneut, an apt scholar. He has
learned the rules, and he has hastened to
apply them. A" even Buchanaii's interfe
rence in Kansas teas more gross and ttn-
blushing than President GraiWs attempt to
coerce the Missouri Ilejniblicans to do his
will and not their men. Xo President except
Andrew Johnson has ever so openly tried, by
wholesale removals from 'Jice and by the
appointment of his favorites, to iinpcse his

The letters of Gen. Cox, now published,
show that in the practice of the fnialler de
vices of politicians tho President has'heen no
lesa ready. The Secretary of the Interior,
who came iato the Cabinet as the es-pecial
friend and representative of civil servico re
form, is foiced to leave the Cabinet because
the President insists, contrary to General
Cox's desires, upon letting political commit
tees levy tributa upon the poor clerks in the
Interior Department.
This is the end of all the promises so re
peatedly and openly made by Gen. Grant
before and immediately after his inaugura
tion. So far from reforming the civil ser
vice, he is the first President who gives leave,
openly to political committe-es to go into the
departments and levy blackmail upon the
clerks, lie is the first President who has
uoblusbingly sacrificed a member of his
Cabinet to the demands of secret and irre
sponsible party committees. The system of
political blackmail to which he has given
official recognition was hitherto, even under
Andrew Johnson, carried on secretly. Can
aey one longer doubt the immediate and ur
gent need of a reform of the civil service?
From the Chicago Republican.

The AeyisTiCE. Wehave theimpoitant
news today that an armistice has been con
cluded between Fiance and Prussia for the
purpose of enabling the people of the former
country to take deliberate action towards
strengthening tho claim of the existing
French government to be recognized as legit
imate and established. The armistice is to
last twenty-five days, during each of which,
as we understand, the people of Paris will
be at liberty to receive one day 's supply of
provisions from without, and both of the
belligerents will bo permitted to confirm,
though not to extend, their military organi
zations in general, and to retain the military
positions now held by them.
It is probable that tho content of TrusMa
to this step has been brought ab. i.t partly
by the direct influence of the neutral powers,
and partly by the hope that during the period
of the armistice the front of the French
resistance may be seriously weakened by
political intrigues for the overthrew of the
existing government. Even this hope, how-,
ever, it is tolerably clear, would not have
prevailed with Count von Bismarck had not
the pressure of the increasing difficulties
with which Prussia finds herself surrounded,
in her self imposed task e f "reconstructing"
the French nation, begun seriously to make
itself felt.
The republican government al Tours

most trying ordal. While all good men
everywhere mtut aider.tly tlcsire that the
swerd ence laid down in this really fratrici
dal war may not again be taken up. no man
who rightly estimatesthe existing perils of
European society, or honestly believes in the
efficacy of free government, and of free gov
ernment alone, to dissipate those perils, can
well avoid the conviction that any armistice
which should lead to the collapse of the re
publican experiment so bravely beguu in
France would entail upon the Old World
eventual catastrophic even worse than those
which for the past few months have ajijialled
mankind. A7. Y. l'rld, 4th.

The armistice has been finally rejected
and the war will proceed and probably be
carried far into the winter. It is not yet
fully known exactly why no agreement
could take place, but it seems that the terms
demanded by the Germans were far too
severe. Owing to tho circumstance that
the negotiations pending were known to the
commanders of the armies in the field no
movements of importance took place anj--where.
Garibaldi is reported captured, and
Neu Breisach and Beifort are vigorously
beseiged. It seems after all as the opinion
expressed by Napoleon at the beginnijg of
this war that it would be a long one will be
verified. From all parts of France the news
reaches us of the most determined measures
and preparations for a grand rally and rebis
tance to the very last.
The Springfield (Mass.) BejmUican, a
Radical paper, is subject to fits of spasmod
ic candor, during which it is liable to blurt
out unpalatable truths in the bluntest sort
of way. As witness the following comments
on the result of the West Virginia elections:
The illiberal, proscriptive course pursued
by the republicans of the State ever since
the war closed, puts them in the position of
both deserving and inviting defeat; and in
the present position of parties tho gain of
three Democrats in Congress is more a mat
ter orcongiatnlation than would bo the in
crease of the Republican majority by that
number. The good that is iu the dominant
party can only be brought out by tho disci
pline of adversity, and there arc other States
than West Virginia where an occasional de
feat would have tho happiest effect upon it.
