The iiowspn;-er press al most to a nnit, so f.ir as lica.nl from, has pronounced in favor of the work of the con tention, ami the committee confidently bo 1 eve that all indications point to its niti r.eation by an overwhelming majority at the special on the ldli of next month. We earnestly hope that the most sanguine ex pectations of the committee may be fully realized in thLi particuhw. We have received from the Secretary of the Commonwealth a copy of the new Constitution, with a request to publish it tmce a week for four weeks next preceding the third Tuesday of December, the day lixed for the special election for and against that instrument. will publish it in our next week's issue, and it will occupy a very large portion of our papr for four Micceshive weeks. Notwithstanding this large demand on our space we will endeav or to keep our readers advised of the im portant events transpiring in the outside world. The question of the adoption or rejection of the proposed Constitution is one ef vast importance to every man in the State, and we trut that every voter will Ktndy it carefully, so that he may be pre pared to vote intelligently. That it ought to be adopted by the people, for various reasous which wo will attempt to state hereafter, we have no kind of doubt. Thomas P. Fe.nlo.n, V.sq., formerly of this place, and well known iu Cambria county, was elected to the Kansas Legisla ture, on the 4th instant, by the Demo cratic party, in one of the legislative dis tricts of Leavenworth. Sir. Fenlon has heretofore filled the same position with distinguished ability and credit. In that State, the Radicals have a majoiity in the Senate by reason of a large number of the present members h jlding over, but at the recent election tho Farmers' party and the Democrats elected enough members to the 1 'wer House to give them a majority on joint ballot. This result disposes of tho Kansas Ring, headed by those Christian statesmen, Samuel C. Pomeioy, Alexander Caldwell and Syduey Clark, and insures, at least we hope so, the election of an hon est man to the United States Senate as Caldwell's successor, who resigned his seat last winter in order to escape the igno miny and disgrace of expulsion.

Moreover, the Governor ! told the same irentleman (who is noted for 1 heiitK onn of the most highly honorable at;d j veracious in the State) the names of the au thors. We have those names.

The foregoing article, taken from a re cent number of the Johnstown Voice, aims a blow that w as not intended by its author when he wrote :t. Admitting that every thing contained in it is true, what is the' inevitable conclusion to which it leads? Simply that John F. llattranft refused to appoint William Flattery an Asssociate Judge of the District Court because it was xirged against him by "bigots and tiick uters" that Flattery was 'a brawling Irish Catholic." No ')ther objection, according to the Voice, was urred upon llaitianft against that gentleman. The pith of the matter therefore is, not that certain per sons objected to Flattery, for the reason stated, but that llattranft was controlled and governed by it in his official act ion, thereby endon nig the '"bigots and trick htera" who addressed the private letter to him in oppisitiou to Flattery's appoint ment for the reason assigned by them, and refused to appoint him because he was "a brawling Iiish Coiholic."

His pretext, if he takes any official action in the matter, will no doubt be that the Convention exceeded its powers in sup planting the present election officers in Philadelphia. I The Convetnion contained many gentle- j men, of both political parties and of great j legsd ubility, who advocated and voted for j this Philadelphia, election clause, for the reasou that they were in favor of an honest ! expression of the popular will in that city ! and weie determined upon having it. J Quay will not interfere without liar- ! tranft's consent, and we predict that, if i the scheme is attempted, it will raise a J perfect storm of indignation against them J thiottohout the lencrth and breadth of the a j Slate. The people are resolved that all j the avenues to corrupt legislation shall be : closed, and as the new Constitution will j secure that lonjr desired reform, the men 1 who attempt to prevent it, by whatever j pretext, will be swept out of the way by j popular wrath as chaff is swept before the whirlwind.

', The Secretary, it is said, will mention to the nmhoiities in Philadelphia the fact that an j ordinance passed the Convention providing i a tlitlcrent nu t hod, ami will suggest that the matter be promptly brought before tho courts for decision. The Convention em bodies most directly the sovereignty of the people, nd the ordinances of that body, iu the opinion of exi t lleut lawyers, have bind ing for.-e, even though in conflict with the statutesof the Legislature. A Const itutiou al Convention is a duly organized instru mentality for effecting a peaceful revolution, j and, it the matter came to the final test, it i is doubtful if even the courts holding an- j lliority under the old Constitution and laws j could, set aside a formally adopted and pro- j claimed ordinance of such a body. Jlow ev- j er this may be, the popular sentiment of the I State is overwhelmingly iu favor of permit- ting the Convention to hedge about the ! lection upon the adoption of the new Con- 1 stitutiott with such precautions as are, in i the opinion of that distinguished and pa- j triotie assembly, uecrssary to secure a per fectly fair decision, wholly free from parti- j sau interleieiice or corrupt manipulation, j We hope that the despatch iu the IJiiiUtin j does not mean that Coventor Jlartranft in- lends lo defy the Coll vent ion, and to defeat the Constitution the people have so much at p hear.. I When tho New York banking house of Jay Cooke fc Co. failed, it dragged down! with it the Fiit National Dank of Wash- j ingtou, of which Henry D. Cooke, a broth- I er of Jay Cooke, was 1 'resident, and in j which ex-President Johnson had a deposit of T,000. This sum lepreseuted the ; honest earnings of a man who never took S any presents when in office, and whose sal- t aiy had neier been doubled. It is a high tribute to the official integ rity o!" Andrew Johnson that no living man has ever a.sral'.d it. He left office with clean hands and what he had iu Cooke's bank was his own, honestly and fairly earned, and placed there in good faith. Last week the Receiver of the Bank de clared a dividend of o' per cent., and Mr. Johnson received on his daposit $2:2,000. It is stated that hereafter an additional dividend of 20 per cent, will bo declared. This last will be final, and will pay Mr. Johnson' and the rest of the creditors just oue half of their honest claims. The other half has been stvkn by Henry D.

In our columns yesterday afternoon we ubhshed the announcement that the board of diiectors of the Pennsylvania railroad company had declared a scrip dividend ef live per cent., payable- in ca.-h on the 0th of March, 1873, or sooner at the option of the company. This declaration was based upon the report of the finance committee of the expenses and leccipts of the compa ny for tho six months ending October 31 : From the statement of the controller it appears that the grots earnings of the 1'entisyl Villi lei railroad and branches (esti mating tiie month ef October) were 1'3, 202,801.82 ; expenses for the same period, $S,071,33i.G0; leaving net earnings of $5, 131,30O.2. To which must be addeel bal ance of income from interest on sundry bonds and stocks of other companies, after payment of interest on the lioating debt of the company, C 194. 78.

It also appears from the statement of the controller that the gross earnings of tho United railroads and canal of New Jersey for the time "were i?5,G2o, 2G7.77 ; expenses for same peried, 3,1)40, ISG.7G; leaving net earnings of $1,084.281. -01. To this is to be added rents, interest and dividends received by the treasurer from property of United railroads and ca nal company, .7G,Go2.28, giving a total of ?l,7G0,yi3.yi. The amount paid as inter est and dividend under the lease of the United railroads and canal for six months of 50,3:io.8y. These figures leave net profits of Pennsylvania railroad and United New Jersey railroads and canal, $3.!lii0, 2(57.01. The treasurer's statement shows that tho amount required to pay the inter est oil the mortgage bonds of this compa ny i.s $880,511.70 ; premium on gold to pay interest on bonds, $71,01)2.75 ; State tax on coupons and capital . tock, $215,751.18 ; semi-annual amount due on purchase of State works, $230,000 ; rent of llariisburg and Lancaster railroad, $5,123,61) ; inter est on bonds and mortgages on real estate, $23,351.75 ; dividend of live per cent, on capital stock of tho Pennsylvania railroad company, $3,303,419.37 ; making a total of 4,840,250.04, and leaving a balance to credit of income account, after paj tnent of a November dividend of five per cent., of $1,141,017.07, which is over Ijj per cent, upon the whole capital of the company. On December Glh the dividend, which bears interest at the rate of six per cent, per annum, will be paid to ladies, and after that they must wait their turn with other stockholders. The time for the payment of the instalments on new stock, which ex pires on the 28lh of this month, will beex tended to Mist of December, and the scrip dividends will be received at par in pay ment for the same. 1'hila. Telejraph. Address of the State Centennial Committee. To the Member of the Coun ty Centennial Committees and the Public: Although it has been deemed best to relax the ell'orts of the Committeo for a time, owing to the financial troubles, it is hoped that the impression may not bo created that the programme as hereteforo set forth is not to be followed up to a success ful result. The State, exclusive of the city of Philadelphia, will be looked to for not less than 500, COO, and so soon as business prospects brighten, the efforts heretofore employed to that end will be resumed with all the increa ed energy that the circumstances may demand. Mean while, it is expected that County Com mittees will adopt all preliminary steps to follow up the wotk. The honor and dignity of the nation, in the judgment of this Committee, are se riously involved in this noble enterprise. Through the acts of Congress, and the proclamation of the President, the inten tion on the part of the United States to have a grand Exhibition in Fairmount Park in 1870, of an International charac ter, has not only been presented to our own citizens, but to those of all other civ ilized nations, and through the State De paitment at Washington foreign govern ments have been invited to participate. It is apparent, therefore, that nothing short of carrying out this intention in a manner befitting a great nation will save the peo ple of the United States and their gov ernment fiom freat humiliation, and the character of our country from reproach. Pennsylvania, honored by being select ed for the location of this great undertak ing, will never sutler herself to be re proached for not consummating what she lias begun as to the memorial building for the uses of the Exhibition. With such a stake before us, tho Ccmmittco are confi dent no thoughtful citj.en, whether in public or private life, will fail to do his part in this noble woik.

A piivate dispatch from Lexington, Va., an nounces the death, on the 5th inst., of .Airs. Lee, widow of Oenetal Kobert E. Lee. Mrs. Lee had been an invalid for the last eight or ten years, and her health since the death of her husband, three years ago, has been gradually becoming more enfeebled. Only a short time ago a beloved daughter died, ami this frc sh bereavement, it may be readily believed, bore heavily upon her declining strength. Mrs. Lee was the only daughter of G. V. P. Custis, Eq.f of Ar lington, who was tho youngest child of John Paike Custis, a son of Mrs. AVash i.igton by her tiist husband, and an aid-de-camp to General AVashinton at the seige of Yorktown. His two youngest children, one of them the father" of Mrs. Lee. were adopted by General Washington! G. AV. P. Custis was brought up at jfount Vernon, and remained a member of AVash iugton's family until the death of Mrs. Washington, iu 102, when he went to le side at Arlington, an estate of 1,000 acres in the neighborhood of AVa.-h ingtou, which he had inheiited from his father, lie erected the mansion known as Arlington house, lie was married in early life to MUs Mary Lee Fitzhugh, of Virginia, and h ft an only daughter, who became the wife of General Kobert E. Lee. The late Mrs. Lee was a lady of exemplary religious and domestic virtues and unassuming and gen tle iu character.

He entered their lor; cabin, dispatched with a huge club the faithful dogs, brained the wo man, and hacked the old Vaan almost to pieces. Securing the coin, for the old people evidently believed in the infallibili ty of the "hard f tufl," he hastened to bury it, refusing to reveal its hiding place to the officers of justice. At the bar he sneered at the evidence, laughed at the 1 solemnity of the lude and betrayed the worst symptoms of human depravity when condemned to death, remarking that he was troubled only at the uncercainity of whether his victims were in heaven or the darker regions.
