W.2. r a joint resolution, ndopted on Wednesday, both houses of the Legisla ture have adjourned until Wednesday of next week. The prevailing sickness in llanisburg, and the prostration thereby of several of the members, has induced the adjournment. In a speech before tha Heading Deroo ocratic Club, Hon. J. L. Getz, Congress man from Briks. declared that wVile the recent caucus of Damocratic Congressmen did not formally declare in favor of any one as the Damocratic nominee for the Presidency, nearly all the members cx pressed a decided preference for Gtneral Hancock. Geo. A. Smith, Esq., democrat, of McCyonnellsburg, was elected at the spe cial election held on the 13th inst, in the Bedford and Fulton district, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of J.

At the recent meeting of the State Edi torial Association the city of Erie was proposed as tha right place to visit when the fraternity participate in their second Hnnunl excursion, which tmkee place next .June, and in hopes of coaxing the editors in that direction, the councils of that city have cxlended a formal invitation, and pledge their visitors a cordial welcome, with the best efforts of the authorities to inAe the visit a pleasant one, Ir looks now as if Col M'Clure would liavo j islice done him in his contest with Mr. Gray, whoso election as Senator from the Fourth (1'hila.) district, there is abun dant reason to behove, was accomplished by fraud. Oa motion of Mr. IJuckalew, democrat, it was agreed that a committee of seven Senators, six of whom should be elected by ballot and the seven: li drawn by chance, should be constituted to hear and decide upon tha evidence in this case, and on Wedue.day last this was done, and icsulted in I lie election of Messrs Huck nlew, Davis and Dill, democrats, Messrs. White, Fitch and Mumrna, republicans, and the selection of Mr. Hrodhcad, demo crat, his name being tho last left in the tirn, as per matliod agreed upon. A (ha contestant are both Kepublicaus, tho com mittee should have been made np of Dem ocrats exelusiuely, but as it is full jdstice will no doubt bo done in the case.

The Ilollidaysburg Standard has been permitted to publish the following extruct from a letter written by J E. Leet, edi itor of a rajical aawipapcr in Louisiana, to his uncle, Mwj J, D. L?et, a demo crat, of Ilollidaysburg. Tho writer bears f.tir and ample testimony to the ability arid tact of o;ir efficient and manly Con gressman, Hon li. M. Sper, who occu pied, it would seem, until culled home last week on important business, the most prominent position on tho Congressional committee appointed to investigate the tdection frauds in New Orleans, and ac quitted himself with honor to his friends, his party and himself. Here is the extract : Mr. Speer, your congressman, at whose r'.sctiou 1 remember you wero so much le j.iced. is rapidly making a reputation as ao examiner of witnes-es. He is already ac knowledged a the champ'ori investigator of the commiit e, an I he g es into the innoceuis T both factioiis with a zst that betrays hii dntermiuation to make a vast deal of Demo cratic capital out of our unfortunate Repub lican split. II io a little fellow, but as keen us a raz r. The other congressmen always give the witness a comparatively easy over hauling and leave the closing wotk to Speer. His voice rings out sharp and clear, his ques tions go as unerringly as an arrow to their mark, and it is then the fun begins. I must confers that he has extraordinary ability (for a Democrat) and 6ay that I admire his vim. Unfortunately for tho cause of Republicanism tiio party officials in Louisiana are generally a had and corrupt set. and Speer is therefore tilling a field that cannot but be fruitful. He riiiuhtlesa think the exf OFiire he is makii'jr. ;f Ropubl ican rascals will ()mna;a the party all over the country. This I admit, but he will likewise benf fit the Republican party of this fitate ry hrinsirg to th tuifxce the dis hocest acts of those who have disgraced It, thus aa.biiug it to spew them oat and purifv jtbclf." ! SatorSbmskks refutation in relation to the me of arm nnd nmtnunition by tie :ovemmeijt of the United States to that of France during the Kranco-Vriiu-tiiin war, the Age thinks, is likely to cre ate more excitement than was expected. At first the administration Senators and presses pretended to treat the whole mat- ter as an exhibition of petty malice on ths part of Senator Sumner. Uut, as the facts are developed, the tune on tho ad ministration riddle changes, and now tho note are mure mournful that defiant. It appears that in September and October, 1870, heavy Rules of arms and materials of war were made by the Ordnance De partment to the agents of the French gov eminent for use in the war with Germany, then going forward. By the official state ments of the French government, it ap peals they paid for these purchases about $11,000,000 in gold, equivalent, consid ering the premium on exchange, to 14, 000,000 in our currency, while, in his recent report upon tho eubject, our Secre tary of War states that the War Depart ment received but ten millions. This profit of four millions was not made by the pur chasing r.f nls of tho French government ; for they had a regular commission of two and a balf per cent., which is not counted as a part of tho purchase money. This leaves the four millions to bo accounted for on this sido of the water. As Franco would not take the arms unless ammuni tion was furnished at the same timo to use in them, the allegations is that cartridges were also supplied byMhe Federal authori ties, which by this act becamo a direct participant in the war against Prussia. These are the charges which Senator Sumner proposes to investigate by a special Committee, and it is no wonder their in troduction struck terror to the Federal ad ministration and its several supporters. Tho World well says ''the evidence pre sented in Mr. Sumner's preamble, makes a strong case against General Giant's administration, though it. does not trace tho details of the dishorest gains home to individuals. The object of Mr. Sumner's resolution is to fix this personal responsi bility, and drag forth the criminals and their accomplices."

Io Wisconsin ths rato is $350 a session, and in Illinois ami Florida the rate is fixed at each secsion. Considering the price e.f living, tho expeusiveness of politic, and the luxurious habits of most members cf the Legislature, these salaries do not seem to be no high as to warrant men without other visible means of support making "going to the Legislature" a profession. Yet many do this, attracted by othor allurements, and if the character and money value of these allurements coi ld be set out in facts and figures by sooie ex member, we have no doubt they would prove very interestir g rcadirg.

The other dav the great Frederick arrived in that city, aud being tiieJ, foot-s;.r and weary, proposed to ride from the dopct to the Ilaed Uiuse in an omnibus; bnt the driver, not having the fear of the Civil Rights bill before his eyes, refused Frederick a seat. And his troubles didn't end even here, for arriving at that famous hostelry, he was assigned a room, but notified that if ha would partake of the fur ther hospitalities of the house, he would have to submit to eat his roast chicken and drink his coffee in his own room, aud not at the public table.

The Detroit Tribune having had the temerity to doubt the witdom of reflecting Grant, iias had all government advertising takau away from it. aod all the small ma chinery of Post Offices and the like were called to aid to suppress the circulation of this graceless sheet. But unhappily the people have not seconded thes noble efforts, and the wretched paper now boasts a larger circulation than the true blue "regulai" organ in Detroit, and is audncious enough to demand reform throughout the government and the party.

A gentleman who served under Harry White in the late unpleasantness has pre pared a short tut piquant ketch of that hero's position during a noted engagement, which he intends to amplify, if the Republi can party nominate him for gubernatorial honors. From what we have heard recently in relation to this gentleman's prowsss, we incline to tha belief ho would make a first class successor to Jno. W. Gosry.

Correspondence of Cambria Freeman. Dublin City, Ftb. 6. 1872. Dear. Mao Here I have been fur some weeks in the beautiful metropolis of Ireland, aod have uot as yet said anything about it. lint since my arrival in it I have been busy taking notes of the almost countless places of interest, and now ao full is my note-book that I find myself in a regular labyrinth of bewilderment as to which place to open my sketch with. But. as I seem to have a pe culiar penchant for "auld auti.juitv' 1 will go back to the good old tiffiewhen this city was called dallyathcliath, or the "Town of the Ford of Hurdles." Ptolemy, who, I believe, lived iu the second century, calls it, io some of his writings, Ehlana. It was subsequently called Duhh liun, or the Blackwater, and hence its pres ent name, Dublin. The history of such an old and important city would form a large volume in itself, for here were fought some sanguicary battles between the Irish and the Daces, and later between the former aud the Anglo-Normans. Oue naturally looks around to see eome ancient edifices, but his curiosity enncot be gratified unless iu a very few instances. We had them hdreonco. but tho ruthless Danes aud Saxons, in their fiend ish fury, demolished them. But we are obliged to forget the past while we can fea.t our eyes aud delight our hearts in gazing with emotion on the lovely city and its en virons. Oa the east it has its noble Bay. which can outrival the far-famed Bay of Naples; on the north the valleys of Glasne viu aud Ficglas. situateJ on the banks of the meandering Tolka, in whose picturesque vicinity Addison. Sift, Steele, and other literary characters, had their residences Westwurd stretches the Phoenix Paik, with the beauteous vale through which winds the Lifiey's silver stream, its steep banks en riched with gardetiS, pleasure grouuds and charming villas, backed by the blue chain of theJWicklow Mountains, extending towards the south, on which side lie tho pleasant outlet of Rithmiues, the bathing village of Blackrock, Kingstown, or old Dunleary, and its fiDe harbor, Kil.iney bay and hill, and the magnificent sweep of coast extonding from thenco to Bray Head all forming a ruccesfion of picturesque objects which for beauty and variety cannot Le approached by the suburbs of any city iu the world. bt. Patrick's catdedbal. built, I believe, soon after tha death of the g-eat Apostle, is well woith a visit. The height of theettejleor towtr is one hun dred and twenty foot, and that of the spire by which it is surmounted about one bun dred feet. The interior of tho Cathedral is somewhat gloomy and monotonous. The nave is separated fiom its aisles by una dorned arches aud octangular pillars. The Archbishop's throtie, which is of Lish oak. richly carved ; the stalls of tho Knights of St. Patrick, over each of which are displayed i ue uuuijer, ueunei ano i lcet shaped magninc;eDt oraDJull tt,T ... .i - T n. i tie cancer, neimet and sword of the ivnightj; wiudows and the are pleasinglv beau tiful to the eye. But we look in vaiu for anything of a devotional or tacred object. which one naturally expects to see in a ca thedral. It contains several monumental sculptures, remarkable only for the celebri ty of tho name they commemorate. Under one of these black marble slabs lie the re mains of the celebrated wit, Jonathan Swift, who was once Dean ef this Cathedral. Near the slab of the ecceutric D.-au lie the ashes of Mrs. Johusju. celebrated bv his muse under the name of "Stella." Here, also, was interred Frederick, Luke of Schom berg, who was slain at the battle of the Boyne, while fighting against liberty under William III., of hated memory. This Ca thedral, built and owned by the Irish Cath olics, is and has been siuco the Information in the bauds of tha rich, aristocratic An-do-ir;.i. r. ,.. . .. a. r ii. on i ivicsiauia. ooiiie iew years a"o Arthur Guinness, a mi lionairo, spent sorne two bundled thousand dollars in improving aud modernizing this building, so that oue now can sco the ancient and modern styles of architecture mixed up. I cau but merelv allude to the many rich and costly Catho'ic churchos for which Dublin is noted. Leav ing sacieci subjects, we will now turn to the prolane and vuil THE FOUR C0UBT., which stands about midway between Whi. worth and Richmond Br ages, on the north side of the Lifley. Tho .Four Counts is a noble edifice, presenting a beautiful portico facing the river, consisting of six Corinthian columns supporting a pediment ornamented wua turee statues ot Moses, Justice and Mercy. At the two extremities cf the front aie corresponding statues of Wisdom and Authority. When I looked at "Justice" and "Meicy" I could not help thinking that JSJLSTica ami rso JUkbcy would be far more appropriate and corrtct. for any oue who enters Us gates, charged with a political of fence, need not expect either justice or mercy at tho hands of British judgts and packed juries. Here were sentenced to death tho ooble, brave and eloquent Emmett, the pcre souled brothers' John and Henry Sheares, and a hot of other patriotic Iiishmen who loved their country better thau their lives. Within these legal walls echoed the burning eloquence of Grat'an. the tiorid, fl jwiug, fart veut appeals of CurraD, the scathing, sarcas tic strains of Flood, the stentorian. Demos thenic language of the immortal O'Connell, and other brilliant, blaziug meteors, who flashed iu the legal firmament and left in their wake bright, effulgent gems which cannot be surpassed iu legal acumen-, cogent logic, fervid eloqueEce, or impassioned ora tory. The next building of note is the Roy al Exchange, an extensive and elegant edi fice. Then there is the celebrated Cirlisle Bridge, the most frequented passage betweeu the northern and southern aidos of the city. A person here has often to wait nearly ten minutes, owiDg to the constant crowds, be fore he can pass. Near it is Westmoreland street, tetminated by the ancient walls of lnnity Collego and the noble Coriuthian portals of the Bank of Ireland. Oa the op posite side of the river is Sackville street, presenting a lovely perspective of architec-' tural beauty, uninterrupted save by the memorial pillar of Lord Nelson, which looks like an overgrown milestone. Next is the Post Office a beautiful building acd the Rotunda, where mirth. muic and revelry hold court. Then comes College Green, whose centre is disgraced and disfigured by an equestrian statue of Billy of Orange, the hero of the B yne and Aughrim. This do tested "figure" was erected by the Orange men in 1701. to commemorate slavery, jwr seevtion and tyranny. It was tarred and stt firo..to, and afterwards blown up, but was fixed up agaiD by blind, infatuated bigots. Turning from brutal Billy we come to the statues of O'Connell. Smith O'Brien, Buike. Grattan. Curran, Goldsmith, and other il lustiious Irifchmen whose uames form bright and pleasing pages ia Irish literature. Next we come to GLASSKVIN OEMETERT, considered one of the handsomest of the kind in tho world. Here lie the remains of thou sands who once figured and added lifo'and mirth to gay and fascinating Dublin. In this Cemetery rest the honored and revered re mains of O'Connell, whose every pulsation during life was for his country. His grave is strewn daily with swfet-tceoted flowers and prayers go up to heaven for him who battled so fearlessly against tho tyrant op pressor of this sadly misgoverned country. Here, also, repose ail that is mortal of the unflinching patriot, TereDce Bellew Mc Maous, who breathed his last in farofT Sau Fiancisco, but w hose corpse was carried over the waves of the blue Atlantic in order that the laud that gavo him birth might press him to its breast. There are other places in this city which I could describe, buch as Dublin Castle, the Vice-Regal Lodge, &c, but in my description of them I fear my Celtic blood would not allow me to sketch the beauties cf these standiug British garri eoi)8 without also noting the infernal in trigues and the midnight murders that have been concocted and executed witliu these walls by the paid hirelings of British bas tard aristecracy ; so I will pass theai by and come to DUBLIN BAT, which spreads out into a noble expanse of water to the eastward of the city its shores agreeably diversified and presenting all the various features froai the rugged aud severe to the soft and smiling in landscape scenery. From the northern shore of the bay we ob taiu a most interesting view of its extensive surface, with tho South Wall and Light house, and the mountains tf Dubliu and Wicklow in the distance, forming an outline ef enchanting beauty. Tha appearauces from the bay of the long, low, wooded shore cf Dollymount. studded by detached clusters of white cottages and handsome villas, are remarkably enchanting. The peninsula', or. as it is usually called, the "Hill of Howth," putting into the sea, forms the northern headland of Dublin Bay, and the little town and harbor, with the Castle of Howth, are pleasantly situated under the shelter of the hill which rises precipitously behind them. The view from Killiney Hill is magnificent'. Beneath lies the silvery shoro of Killiney Bty. bending its graceful crescent line until it terminates in the r.oble promontory of Bray Head ; landward the eye rests upon the quiet, intervening vale, with the mountains, pile upon pile, above it. aud the two "Sugar LoaTs" lifting their blue pointed pinnacles over all. Looking over Kingstown harbor, one beholds as fine a bay as Europe can boast of. spreading for miles its vast, lake- like lovel, adorned with all imaginable ob jects that can auimate aud diversify; the towus aod shining outlets the piors. Jocks, batteries and beacons the sails of every form the darkening, curviug stream the cloud-like cauopy of Dublin and Howth shut in the bay at a distance of a d. zsn miles. This closes rr.y very imperfect sketch of Dublin and surroundiugs. and I fear it will not at all please any of the Freeman read ers who may happen atone time or other to be acquainted in this busy, bustling, beauti ful city. It would be utterly impossible to compress within the limited space of a news paper anything like an adequate outline of a city containing a population of over threo hundred thousand. I have a big notion, friend Mac. to steam Ktraight to Galway, theuce by way of Clare and Kerry to Q leeuslown, and then actoss to New York. I dare say you and your numerous readers will sing "Glory Ilallelu jih!"and breathe freer, now that "Erion ach" is about winding up his ramblings and preamblings an returuiug to j in his friends in his mountain bonne, after an alienee of four months. But you must not chuckle yet with glee, as you w ill probably hear ence or twice more from me before I take ship ping for the "shores cf Amerikay." Yours, dear Mac, very truly, E3IONACU. Rkmatkmile Voyage e r a Tbcnk. Mr. Stephen Hyland was engaged Hpou one of the wells at Pioneer, at the time of the ice gorge a few weeks 3g o. having his trunk in a shanty opon the flits. The fl iod washed the shanty away, trunk and all. The trunk was bound iu zinc, and fl iated proudly down the stream, disdaining to call at Petroleum Centre, or even Oil City, but steered out into the Allegheny. Franklin, tha capital of Venango couaty. was also, slighted. Pittsburgh is reached, but the truak still refuses to come ashore. Upon the broad bosom of the Ojio it takes its ocean-bound way. Not even the Qiieen City of the west attracts this solitary traveler. But at some distance below Cincinnati it comes to land, the receding waves leaving it high and dry upon the bank. In this condition it was found by an old farmer, who very properly took it in charge and broke it open. Among its contents he found a certificate of Mr. Hyt land's membership in one of the Masonic Lodges of this city. The old gentleman, who. we believe, is a Meson, at once wrote to the Secretary of the Lodge, informing him of the discovery, and in this way Mr! II. secures his lost tiunk and its contents, which in their many hundred miles' voyage were kept dry. Titusville Courier. A young man in Cdumbiana county. Ohio, courted a girl for a week.

She pleaded delay; he could not see it. Her silk dress wasn't made; calico would do. There was no stove in the west parlor ; off coat, and in ten minutes there was a fire roaring.

On last Thnrs day a son of Jacob Musser, of Walker town ship, aged, about 12 years, was burned to death under the following circumstances: The mother of the boy went to a neighbor's house. leaving the bey at home. During her absence the child went to the stove and played with the fire. In tha play his clothes took fire. Tho mother came home to find her boy wrapt in flames, and so seriously burned that he died from the effects. He was buiied on Sunday last. Juniata Senti ncl.

General Custar authorizes General Sher idan to contradict the statement that he (Custar) held the first buffalo killed in the late huut by the tail, while ibo Grand Duke dispatched it.
