ZJEGLHR, Preat T. GBAY MEEK, See'y. Hlorlous Victory--The State Sen ate Democratic. At the special election held last Tuesday lt tbe First Senatorial (Philadelphia) Dis trkt. to fill the vacancy occasioned by the Jftlh of Wm. W. Watt, the Demccratic candidate, Cd. Robekt P. Decbert, was elected ever his Radical opponeut, Ltxdall, by some 1S00 majority. This gratifying re vives the Democrats a majority of one in the State Senate, and shows what virtue there is ia nominating an honest and competent man fr that or any other cfiice. At the last Oc tober election tho Radical majority in the District was 1,010. O. C. BOWEK, the Kadical representative iu Congress from the Charleston (South Car olina) District, was arrested last week in Washington on a charge ot bigamy and gave Viil in tha sura of $5,000 for his appearance for trial at the preeent term of tbe Criminal Court, lie was married last summer, having at the same time another wife living in Lou isville. Bowen alleges that he was legally divorced from his first wife in the State of Indiana before he married the second. It is contended, on the ether hand, that the di vorce was obtained after his second marriage. Uu the decision of this question hangs the fate of Bowen. bsatoB DaAKE, Radical, from Missouri, ha been appointed by the President, Judge cf the Court cf Claims at Washington. A Democrat will be elected as his successor by the Legislature of Missouri, which will meet early iu January. John S. Phelps and Gen, Frank Blair are the two most prominent candidates. Mr. Phelps represented his dis trict in Congress Lr several years, and was the Democratic candidate for Governor against McClurg, the present iccumbent. We hope he will be chosen. The Democratic party has had the dead weight of tbe "Blair fami'y" hanging to it much longer than was desirable, and we trutt that Frank Biair will be permitted to represent his constituents of St. Louis in the lower branch cf the Legisla ture, to which cfiice he was elected last -November. Smitu, the Radical Governor of Alabama, who was defeated by Lindsay. Democrat, re fused to vacate his cfice, retained possession cf the executive chamber, and had his pre cious person guarded by a body cf negro militia. It was an attempt based or. the precedent set by Thaddeua Stevens, who in augurated the "Buckshot" war In this State in 1839, to treat the election as if it never had taken place. The terrors of the law were invoked against Smith's revolutionary proceedings, when he disbanded his black body guard, and at once quietly yielded up Lis usurped place. Knowing that he had no sort of right to tho office, he was a knave in attempting to hold it, and if he believed he was fairly elected to it, he was a base coward in tamely surrendering it. His conduct proves him to have been both. Radical bats has marked Governor Vance, the newly elected Senator from North Carolina, as its victim. It is said that he will not be prrmittsd to take his seat in the Semite. His offence consists in his having been a strong Union man and opposed to secession, but, when the die was cast, in adhering to the fortunes of the South, and since the failure of the rebellion in being a good citizen of the United States and well disposed to the peace and happiness of the same. How supremely mean is tho spirit cf radicalism, when it can see a bitter euemy to his country in Vance and loving friends in Longstrtet and Akorman the former one of the foremost Generals in the rebel army and the latter an aid on the military stall of that prince of rebels. Gen. Tocmbs. Tbe one now holds a lucrative office nnder Gr.mt in Kew Orleans, while the other is Attorney General of the United States. Theexplana tion ia, that Vance is a Democrat, and there fore opposed to Grant's administration, while Longstreet aud Akorman are Radicals, and support it with all its manifold political sins. Thk notorious Roderic R. Butler, a Radi cal Congtessman from Tennessee, has been indicted before the Grand Jury of the Dis trict cf Columbia, for defrauding a widow out of her pension, by forging tho necessary paperB to effect bis purpose. One night last week this same scamp attended a caucus of the Radical members of Congress, call ed for the purpose of deciding what, ac tion they "would take on the question of gens eral amnesty, and expressed himself as fol lows : Mr. Butler, of Teenessee, declared the feel ing sad spirit of the South did not justify a general tmuHlr ; that tho mild treatment by tUe Republican party of rebels was a mistake, aud in the end would prove a failure. The Re publicans would regret it. Paudering to the lebel sentiment had been a blunder. ThU is quite modest, coming from a man who, after the outbreak of the rebellion, was liisMlf a member of the rebel Legislature of Texuesaes-. Bat Butler is now an iatsnielj Vral mac and scoccdxtl. ts ha is admitted to be, cccapU a seat in Congress and has a voic j making law for the people.

A flluUtcr to England at Last. After several fruitless efforts, Grant has at lest succeeded in finding a Minister to Eng land, in the person of Robert C Sobeock, the present Radical memW of Congress from the Dayton (Ohio) district. Schenck was defeated for re-election last October by Law is D. Campbell, the Democratic candidate, and. under the rule established by this ad ministration, he csnst be comfortably provi ded for- The appointment may be produc tive ot beneficial results in more ways than one. If Schenck can fucceed in settling the vexed Alabama claims, and thus avert the calamity of a war between the two nations, which boisterous Ben Butler is so anxions to bring about, he will earn and will receive the thanks and gratitude of the country, which is a reward worthy of any man's am bition. Iu another point of view, the ap pointment may be a source of great personal punt to Schenck himself. We have the authority of Don Piatt, the intelligent and trustworthy Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, fur saying, that at the scholarly, but hazardous, game cf draicpeker, Schenck stands unrivalled and without a peer amorget Congressmen, or any other cla9s cf men, in the District of Columbia. It is said of him. that at that in teresting amusement he "hath never met with losses." The game is peculiarly an American inventiou, and is not presumed to be familiar with the aristocratic sporting world of the British metropolis. It would not be a very difficult task, however, to in itiate John Bull into its hidden mysteries. If Schenck, therefore, when he is net em ployed in discussing the Alabama claims with the Q ieen's minister, can succeed iu iu trodncing his favcrito game into the upper tendotn of London sporting life, he can doubtless make a nice thing out of it, and forever hereafter cease to huuger and thirtt after tie empty honor, but solid emoluments, of a Congressman. If the fates should prove to be auapicious, we think it quite probable that Schenck. instead cf our own govern ment, 83 Grant recommends, might purchase the Alabama claims with hisown jn7e and thus relieve the sdmiaistrafion from any further angrj controversy about thtta with Great Britain. Grant Opposed to Amnesty. While Grant in his Message is wearisome in paiading his imaginary reasons in favor of his pet job, the acquisition of San Domin go, he is profoundly silect cn the subject cf general amnesty. Since the mettiug of Congress, ht has stated to some of his friends that he is opposed to any legislation having that object in view. This was to have been expected. It requires a statesman, which Grant confeesedly is not, to rise superior to the !gr obis sp hit cf revenge, and to fully comprehend tie healing influence of such a wise and beocficient measure. In view of the late poli tical tevcluticn in the Southern and Southwestern States, it was not to be supposed that GrantJ would display any kindly feeling towards the people of those sections of the country. It is perhaps better that it is so, since his support of the measure woald most likely result in its defeat. Tbe passage of a general amnesty, bill is only a question of time. It may be delayed, but cannot bo entirely ignored. It has forced itself before Congress during tbe present ses sion and has been very fully disciused. A bill removing all political disabilities would fail to pass now, but a bill relieving quite a large class of Southern people from all pen. a It its and disabilities, has a fair chance cf success, judging from the tone of the debate which has taken place upon the subject. The Radical party in the South is doomed, eveu without a geueral amnesty law. The young men of that section, who were only fifteen years of age at the close of the rebel lion, will all be voters at the next Presiden tial election, and will bury Radicalism clean out of sight. It is a staudiog Radical com plaint, that there exists in soma portions of the South a strong feeling of hostility to the Union. If this be true, there is an adequate cause for it, and a general amnesty bill wou'd speedily remove it. IIow can men be ex pected to manifest much sympathy or respect for a government, from determining the pol icy of which they are entirely excluded and treated as aliens to our soil, while tbe igno rant blacks are all armed with the ballot. It is net in human nature, either North or South. Gbary Iosulted. An art critic in the No York Tribune furnishes a short sketch of Rothermel's great work, "The Battle of Gettysburg," in which the figures of several generals occur, but "nary" Geary. It is well known that the present Governor of Pennsylvania, whisa legs are filled with lead (aud some in his head) was a Brigadier upon that occasion and was the most con spicuous character, during the fiercest of the conflict. lie was. as he dashed around the summit of Culp's Hill, on a magnificent black charger, the admiration cf the Union, as he was certainly the dread of tbe Rebel army, lie reports himself as having saved the day, and carried the stars and stripes triumphant over that bloody field, and not to appear in Rotbermol's picture, which is to hang under bis eyes ia the Capitol is an insult to the State. We hope tbe Legisla ture will promptly take action in tbe matter, and if there is no room for Geay. it would be well to paint out the face of Gen. Han cock, who ia a central figure, and substitute that of Geary, whose gallantry is only ex ceeded by hia modesty. Pittsburgh 1'ost. A Border Tbaoedt. Santa Fe, Dec. 17. The Daily Pest, of December 16, has full particulars ol a horrible tragedy which took place at El Paso. Texas, en December 7. It appears that Senator Fontain got iuto a dis pute with B. F. Williams, a lawyer, who fired a revolver twice at him, severely, but not dangerously wounding him. WilliaLis then tied to his rooms, whither he was fol lowed by Judge Gsylord. J. S.

Tha' funeral cf Judge Gaylord was ft naort fcawfcicg mi Trtned. in El Paso. lion. n. Milton gpeer. Among all tbe tketcbes of tbe recently elected members of tbe Forty second Con gress, as furnished by the Pittsburgh Post, we venture to say there is none mor9 faith fully drawn thau the following pen pictnre of the able and popular young member from this dUtilct, Hou. R. Milton Speer: The member elect of the Forty-second Con gress from the Seventeenth Congressional Dis trict, Hon. R. Hilton Speer, was born in the village of Cassville, Huntingdon county. Pa., ou the 8;h day of September, 1333. His parents were both natives of Ireland, and emigrated to this country from near Bel fast. TLey both died some eighteen years ego his mother in the fall of Itol and his father 5a th fall 'of 152. Mr Speor, who is a young man, ia of very handsome and attractive personal appearance. He is tall and well built, with handsome fea tures and a clear, light complexion, indicative of hi Irish blood. His hair, bear! and eye aro of a dark brown, the latter full and prom inent, and bespeak a more than ordinary de gree ot hjtol:ieuee. He is a fluent and pleas ant speaker, frequently bursting into the most fervent eloquence. In rnauuer be is urbane, engaging, and agreeable. Upon the death of bis father be entered the Semiuarv or Cassville and remained there un til tho fail of 1856. During the winter of 185G- 57 he taught school in CassTille, and in Mav, 1S57. went to HuuUDjrdou and entered as a student the law oiUce of Wilson & Petrikcu, and was admitted to the practice of the Uw iu November, IrlrU. Prior to being admitted to the Bar he taught school eight months In the "mountain districts" of Blair county- la April, 1SI0, he entered upon the practice of tbe law, opening an rviQce in Huntingdon, where he has pilco remained, building up a large and remunerative practice. He is at present tbe senior member of tho law firm oi Steer & McMurtrie. He has never held aay civil or military office other than the position of As-i.-itrfut Clerk hi the House of Representatives at Hnrrisburg, during tLe session of IWA. He was a private so'dier iu the Pennsylvania militia uuriiig the Chaiubersburg campaign. Ho was married iu April, 164, to a daugh ter of Wui. E. McMurtrie, Esq., aud he and his lady are blessed with three bright and in telligent cbildreu two boys acd a girl. Mr. Hpeer Is pleasantly situited in Qurtlng don, witti a large and growing law practice, asd is surroui.ded with every. bing to make bim contested wiili his lot. Ue was decidedly opposed to euteiii g tbe political arena, espe daily as an aspirant fur Congressional honors, but finally yielied to tho ardent solicitation of bis lricuds and became a candidate at I ha lato elections, against Mr. Morrcll, of "Pesemer" steel' iiotuiiety, and whose defeat was not to be held among tbe possibilities, much less the probabilities, at the oiening of the campaign. Mr.. Speer possesses grent porsonal populari ty, as shown by th vote of the burungh ot Huotiugdon. lit lbGS Mr. Mortell had sixty two majority. At the last October election Mr. Speer's ipajority was two hup.drtd and ten a cliflnge of tbree hundred and seveLteeu, notwithstanding fortj-five negro votes were cast soiid agaiust him. This mark e J popular ity extended throughout tho Dittriet. Tbe mjority ot Mr. Speer was eleven votes tbe smallest inxjority oi ny candidate elected in the State but it was a m.-'j-jrity over one of lbs most influential Congressmen in tue prtseut Huusa, and one who was backed by the must powerful influences. Two years apo last Oc tober Mr. Moirell was ejected over Mr. Jolm P. Liutou, the Democratic candidate, by a ma jority of 1,11)4, and bis friends could hardly crcul; t'urir sei-se? when ii whs announced that he was defeated, after a Lard fought contest, by the risii g young Democrat who will do so much honor to the Feuusylvania delegation iu tbe text House. Mr. Speer has also wielded the editorial quill, having been the editor of tha Huntingdon Usio.v.tbe then Democratic oraa of ll.iuting dou county, from August, ltii'J, to January, leGl. He commands the confidence and le aped cf men of both parties and the public generally.

The Newatk Cour ier says : One of the most terrible accidents which have occurred iu this vicinity for a long while took place on Thursday night, at the bay bridge of the Ceutral r abroad com pany. The engine of the traiu which leaves Elizabeth City at ten minutes to nine at night on running on the draw of the bridge, Lruke through and fell iuto the water, carry ing with it tha euuineer aud fireman. The engine and a portion cf the train had passed safely over the first half of tbe draw, but as the locomotive was about parsing eff the draw the accident occurred The engineer, after being carried down ten feet uuder water, managed to make his way out of the window cf his "house." and, rising to the surface, was saved. His name is David M.ilone. He sustained some severe cuts and bruises about the face. His escape was providential ; cot one in a hundred would have managed to effect their release. The firem.iD, who also went down with the engine, was drowned. His name was Henry Cooper. The engineer states that at the time of the accident the fireman was at his post. Fortunately the engine and tender, as they went down, broke from the passenger train. and not one of tbe passengers was it-jured, although, of course, they were greatly alarm ed, iheir escape, too, seems to have oecu providential.. The train was running slow at the time, and the forward truck of the passenger car ran off the draw, let the car touch the bridge and thereby stopped its mo tion. preventing it running into the river, It hung over the draw. The paFatners were compelled to walk back to Elizabeth. The engine fell headlight first, and is now in a perpendicular position in the river, a portion of it being above the surface. Jt ia believed that when it is raised the dead body of the fireman will be found iu the "engi neer's house." , Thb New York Sun publishes a long and interesting account of the adventures of a certain so-called George Henry Osborne, who, while acting as mate of the ship Ilehra, bound Irom .Ijoston to Cbiua, was last Feb ruary washed from the ship's deck by a wave and drowned during the prevalence of a violent gale. The interesting feature about the case of this unfortunate mariner is that be is said to have been, in reality, the young Earl of Aberdeen, who n-.me time in the year 1867 left Haddo House, his resi dence in Scotland, and set out for a series of voyages as a sailor in many lands, disguising his identity under the name of Osborne, and keeping hi whereabouts and vocation a o cret from his relatives and friends. The death of Osborne by drowning is a well known fact, and the chain of evidence which connects him with the missing Earl seems conclusive. A nice point of law is involved in the case, as upon the identity of the two turns the question of tho possession of the title and an estate of some 40,000 a yeir, together with $800,000 which has collected since the departure of the Earl from Scot land. His family, it is said, have already speut half a million dollars in efforts to trace bica. The secret cf Grant's renewed friend ship for Porter has been discovered. Porter is a partner'with him in the San Domiogo Job. and one of its most ernet supporters. Oor worthy President swallows all the in sults which the Rear Admiral jmt upon him. in hope that he may bo put t. good account m this dark transaction. If Porter 1 ;s not confirmed by the Berate, Grant will J greStly difiappc!at4. ' A Strange Story EneCn Arden Outdone. A curlorw cas recently transpired in the vicinity of Peoria, Illinois, aud aa it Las never been in print, I send it to you. Iu 1S62, a man by the name cf John Talbert married a young lady 'by the name of Re becca Farmer. Soon after the celebration of the nuptial ceremonies, Talbert enlisted in the Cavalry Regiment, and went to to the front. . He was at home on furlough iu 1863, and relumed to his regiment in a few weeks. In one cf the battles iu Misiis sippi be became missing, and the body of a person supposed to be Talbert fwund and buried. His friends were informed of his death, and mourned for kira for many days. When the Regiment returned, with flying colors, his place was vacant, aud his wife looked at the horsemen as they march ed proudly up the itreets cf the city, but looked in vain for the form she would most loved to have seen. Talbert had been a good citizen, and had long paid his addresses to the lady whom he married. Feeling it his duty to join the army, he had married her before he enlisted, that he might have tho right to protect her when he returned, lie was a good soldier, always doing his duty faithfully, and whtn the battle taged was in his place ULllinching and r'etermined. When his supposed body was found, not one of his former cunirades but mourned that he had been taken from their Dumber. The war c'osed, and Talbert was almost forgotten. Not much longer tbbn a year ago, his widow took off the weeds of mourn ing, and gave her hand to a young carpen ter in Pioria, by the Dame of S mpson. SLe had bcrne a child to Tulbert in his absence, and all her love for its father had centered in this image cf the departed one. About three months after Simpsou end Mrs. Talbert were married, the young car penter fe.l from the scaffolding of a large loilditig he was employed upon, and his brains dashed out against the ground. Re becca Farmer was for the second time a widow, and the habilimeuts of mourning were again donned. Loving hands buried her dead from her sight, and the world moved on as befote, utterly regardiesi of the twice stricken one. Tha child of Talbert had grown into a lovtly girl of stvn summers, and was the onfy love and hope ef her mother. Some weeks since the little one sickened and died, and the mother supposed hereelf bereft cf all that knew or loved her. But now comes tho grand denouement. While tbe corpse of the chi'd lay in her mothei's house, awaithig burial cn the mor row, a stranger called at the poor woman's door. A neighbor lady, who had charge of the mourning house, admitted him, and he asked to see Mrs. Simpson. The iady came down, aud found iu the supposed stranger her loig-'.ost husband, John Talbert he for whom she had mourned as dead. He explained his long absence in this wihe. Alter the battle in which hs was supposed tobave been killed, he found him self a prisoner in the hands cf the Confeder ates. He was hurried from one post to the other, until at last he was taken to Ander scuville. Iu that prison pen he langaised for months, until he forgot tL passing tini; until tbo intense lougir.g for home com pletely broke his heart. Wheu he was lib erated, he says, everything was a blank to him. Ua wandered to Nuw York City, and lived there for more than a year, aud then paused to the great West, where ho lived until a year ago. Ild recoveied his health cf body and mit.d ; but for several years couldjuot bring hiititeU t-j thiLk cf returning to his home. He caid ther was an intense yearuing to oeo Lis wife and child, but by some curious, morbid feeling, he suppressed the piomptings of his heart, aiid remained away from the beings ho loved, brooding over his curious, self-imposed condition. A few mouths since he was taken with an irre sistabie longing to return to Illinois ami the sceues of his former happiness, but hu desired to do so without being itcvguized. He came back, much changed and altered in appear ance, virited Peoiia, and fouud his wife mar ried to anuther man. There was fresh agony of tniud, aud poignancy was added to tho thought that if he had returned when his imprisonment etidetl, or eveu after his faculties hail beeu fully restored, he would have found bis wife Etili mourning for bim, aud could havo glad dened her heart by showing her that he was still alive. Now there was nothing for him to do but to go away, at Enoch Arcien had done, aud leave Philip Ray to his happiness. He could not tear himself completely from the spot, however. He had seeu his child aud its uioiljer ou the streets, aud he felt like goirsg forward and claiming his owu. So he removed himself about a hundred miles from his old home; for to have remuiued in Peoria, where he had buea pretty well kuown, would have betrayed him, finally. Tbo uews of tbe death of Simpson did not reach him. Though he received a paper regularly from 1'eoria, this, to him, most im portant item of news failed to meet his e3-e. But the other day he did see a notice of the death of his child, and in less than five honrs he was beside us cofljn. Not till then did he learu of the death of Simpson. But when his wife, the girl he had loved and thought he had lost by one of tho strangest works of Providence, fell into his arms, he realized that he had still something to live tor. i, he wife received the husband again. In place of the child she had lost, and the neighbors rejoiced at her good fortune, not withstanding a few of them felt some indig nation that he had remain! nway so long after hi3 imprisenmenl had ended. A STBANQ2 stort was lately told to a coroner of Pittsburg by a colored woman calling herself Mrs. Thornton. She said that her husband had been subject to "trau ces,7' during which he remained apparently lifeless for several days, but then recovered. IIo had been in this condition several times since she married him, two and a half years ago, anil again tell nto it last Monday mor uiug. She was unable to waken bim and sent for physicians, but tbey refused to come because she had no money to give them. In the meantime some friends notified the health officers that there was a dead man in her house, and these came to bury him. She explained his condition and pointed them, in proof of her assertion, to the fact that his body was moist and warm. Still they in sisted that the man was dead ; she was re moved to the house of a neighbor, and while she was there her husband was taken away and baried. She told the coroner that sev eral of her neighbors could testify to the fact that after the body was laid out and placed in its coffin, it was yet warm and moist, and she insisted on having it taken from tbe grave and examined. If the woman is not crazy the health authorities have act ed in a culpably precipitate way IJarW.

There are very few who believe that tbe foor members of the Boyer family who per ished in the flames were not chloroformed and deliberately murdered. First it was supposed that the conflagration was trace able to the explosion of a coal oil lamp, but investigation gives room for much doubt as to the correctness cf thii belief.

B. Cloustr for one hundred and twer.ey-five dollars. Ou Tue.-day morning Thomas J. Boyer was arretted by Sheriff llinehart and impris oned in the Ptrry County Jail. Tne accused was formerly deputy under Sheiifl Rinel.art, and several months ago it was reported thst he had been attacked by highwaymen and a considerable sum of money belonging to Perry couuty t-ken from bira.
