Ai.timugh at the Staic election in
'JV-tas, wLich tvas held on the 3d of De
cember, the Radical candidate for Gover
nor ( Davis) was defeated by his Demo
cratic competitor (Coke) Ly almost fjty
tun a mud majority, he refused to surrender
up his dTice, and undertook to imitate the
example of Joseph Kitiier in this State on
a memorable occasion and to treat the
election as if it had never taken place.
Davis appealed to Grant to lend him a few
thousand I'nited States soldiers to enable
him to consummate his impudent usurpa
tion, but Giant, having burnt his fingers
by having done the same thing for Kellog
in Louisiana, respectfully declined to com
ply with Davis" demand, and suggested to
hua ihat it would be eminently "prudent
a well as right to yield to the verdict of
the people as expressed by their ballots."
Dot giving . Davis this excellent advice,
Giant is entitled to much, credit, and by
promptly acting on it Davis has extricated
himself from a dilemma which in the end
might have betm extremely unpleasant, if
ia it personally disastrous, to him. Coke
has assumed the duties of his office, and
the Legislature being strongly Democrat
ic, Texas has now fairly started on the
highway of future peace and prosperity.

he was the Democratic candidate for Gov

State, including the Tribune, sought to in

charge that during ihe rebellion he had
visited Canada and had beeu in socret con
sultation with Clement C. Clay, Jacob
Thompson, and other Southern leaders,
who were- then temporarily residing in
that country. Mr. Uuckalew exploded the
vile calumny by showing that his visit to
Canada was made by him as ono of a com

United States, of which body he was then
a member that the purpose of tho com
mittee had reference to some important
business interests of the country that he
was casually introduced to Clay and
Thompson in a public hotel, and that the
conversation between them did not last
over five minutes. The head and front of
his offending had this extent and no more.

It will bo observed that this letter was
written three weeks before hostilities were i
commenced by the attack on Fort Sump- '
ter. If it be a tieasonable document, then
Gen. Scott was as much a traitor as Caleb
Cushing, because about the same time he
declared himself willing to let "our erring '
, sister depart in peace." No man has ever
dared to brand General Scott with enter- .
taining tieasonable motives, and the most
that can be imputed to him is that he was
mistaken in his judgment. Caleb dishing
no doubt believed in March, 1SC1, as Gen.
Scott and scores of others of our public
; men believed, that the union of the States ;
i w as broken up and destroyed, and although
; the result proved otherwise, we are una- .
; ble to perceive the justice of charging them
i with a crime for having entertained and
'expressed that opinion. Even Horace'
Greeley, after Pope's disastrous defeat at
the second battle of Dull Dun, had so little
' faith in the success of the North in quell- :
j ing the rebellion, that he proposed in the
New York Tribune to decide the question
of the permanent existence of the Southern
' Confederacy by the result of one pitched
brittle, and was only cured of this delusion
' by the subsequent superb and magnificent 1
j generalship of George 15. McClellan on the
! bloody field of Antietani. If. however,
Caleb Cushing entertained any doubts
s,bont the existence of the Union on the
21st of March, 1SG1, he was willing to risk
his life in its defence on the 2."th of April,
only one month afterwards, as will be seen
fioni his letter to the Governor of Massa
chusetts, as follows :
Nf.wbukyvout, April 25, 1ST.1. Sir: I
l.g leave to tender myself to you in any ca
pacity, however humble, in a wish it may
be possible for me to contribute to the pub

I The sober second thought, or rather the
sober second act of the Representatives of
the people', has perhaps, as far as they j
could by one act of Congress, restored the i
' status of Congressional pjy ; but is this an
' atonement for the outrage? Thisjact, w hich
j the people have constrained their ervauts
is uy no means a voluntary pro-
cteding oil the part of derelict Congress
men. On the contrary, they have been
shamed into it by the just demands of their
constituents. There was no honor origi
nally in passing such au act, nor is there
any honor due to most of the members for
its repeal. The country needs only one
act more in this national farce, and that is
a vesto from the President. That would be
glorious 1 Let ns imagine a veto message.
'Gentlemen : 1 have carefully considered
the rash act which you have just passed ;
but I eanBot allow your n.agiianimity to
go unrewarded. I therefore ictui n it with

should have reduced iny salary to what it
was before, 60 as to allow me the privilege
of being honored along with the rest as au

I am glad to observe such a healthy public
spirit among my people ; and I regret that
my Congress and myself, mad the little
slip that we did. 1 ain exceedingly sorry.
I don't think that I can ever take and use
that additional -'5,000 per year, now, with
any comfort. It is too much, indeed, for
my misreptible feelings; especially since
you have inn the perquisites up to such
enormous figures. I am by no means the
poor man I was a few years ago ; you niust
cousider this ; my business has thriven,
nnd really I can get along very well on
?25,000 st-.lary, and $50,000 perquisites.
I do not see how I can draw the other
$25,000 annually consistently.- Resides,
did I not say, tftafc I 'should have no policy
of my own AH that I do is for the peo
ple ; and rather than lose the office to which
their suffrages li.tvo twice elected me, I
will remain without any salary, and scratch
throrrgh on the perquisites. It is plenty ;
which is you know more than enough. I
have no personal desires whatever ; nothing
but my country's good, its honor and yret
glory. I desire to annex Si. Domingo, it
is true, but not for myself, gentlemen.
You know that I am not selfish in the mat
ter. You know that there are some others
who think that they can make a specula

mingo ; I am sure they do. Then why not
let them have it? I love the people you
all know it. 1 have made a few mistakes,
gentlemen, recently ; but you know how it
is yourselves. We have all nude mistakes.
Forgive r, gentlemen, and I'll forjjive

was then cutting hoop poles for Mr. Bell.
On Tuesday. December 2:, the boy Neeley
stalled from Bell's to visit his mother, w ho
resides in New California. His road lay
through timber belonging to Bailey, w here
Turner was at work. That was the last
seen of young Neeley tintil the 9th of Jan
uaiy. The people residing in the neigh
borhood having heard of Turner's murder
ous propensity, and knowing that young
Neeley had to pass near where he was at
work,- turned out on Friday last to hunt
for his remains.- Eight men started for
Bell's and searched the ground on each
side of the road. When they arrived on
the premises where Turner had been chop
ping, thy found the body, which Jay as
it had fallen six weeks before. Tire boy's
head was nearly cut from his body,- only
hanging by a small piece of skin on the
back and front of his neck, the axe having
gone clcarthrough his neck. When found,
young Neeley had a paper parcel under
his arm, just as he was carrying it. The
body was taken care of ami a jury empan
eled to hold an inquest, and the verdict
was that Olney Neeley, aged sixteen years,
came to his death from a blow with au axe
in the hands of Robert Turner.
Several other mysterious murders have
taken place. in localities in which Turner
had been seen. Marshal Bennett visited
the prisoner and asked him to confess if he
had any hand iu thr.m. He finally con
fessed that he remembered killing two
men a stranger whom he encountered in
a deep ravine back of the Poor Faun, and
thereupon attacked and murdered hini and
hid the body. The other man he met on
the road to Muscada, where he was going
to get work. He said that the latter made
threatening gestures, and he feared he was
going to take his life, so he closed with
him, and with a four jioiuid weight which
he carried in his pocket, struck him two
blows over the eyes, smashing m hn skull,
and killing him instantly. He then drag
ged his btKly into the bushes, and secreted
it there. He has confessed and delights to
talk of the many persons he has killed.

In his selection of the standing commit
tees of the Stato Senate, Mr. Strang, the
Speaker of that body, has shown a spirit
of political liberality as magnanimous as it
io exceptional. Such leading Democratic
Senators as Wallace and Dill are made
chairmen of two of the flvo sub-committees
on constitutional reform, while 3Ir.
liayford is assigned a position on another
of the same important committees. The
chairmanship of tho committee on muni
cipal affairs is given to Col. McClure, the
best qualified man in the Senate for that
responsible position. In addition to this,
Senator Chalfant and Senator Albright aie
placed at the head of two important coin
nut tecs. Mr. Strang has thus ignored par
tisan fueling to an extent which has been
very rare with men of bis pa.ly occupying
the same position, and has proven that in
his opinion Democrats have rights which
Republicans are bound to respect.
The Republican Speaker of tho Houso,
Mr. McCormick, took good carojiot to fol
low the excellent example set him by Mr.
Strang. He has constituted the Commit
tee on legislative apiKutionmcnt, which
consists of thirteen members, by appoint
ing niice Republicans, three Democrats and
the notorious Sam Josephs. There are '
four counties which are to be divided in
the formation of representative districts,
the new constitution having apportioned
the balance of the State. These counties
are Philadelphia, Schuylkill, Luzerne and
Allegheny. Philadelphia has no Domo- !
crat on the committee, nor has Schuy'kill
or Luzerne, both strong Democratic coun
ties. This committee will also Ins required
to apportion the State into fifty Senatorial
districts, so that wo may expect a rejeti
tion of the unjust and infamous gerryman
ders which have heretofore disgraced the
Legislature and defrauded the Democracy
of the State out of its just political power.
There is some hope, however, that the
SeiMt may coerce the House. nto the pas
sage of, i fair and decent bill. If thin is

a man who sympathized with the rebellion.
The imputation of treason against Mr. '
Cushing is an after thought. Did not
grant appoint, and did not a loyal Senate
confirm John A. J. Cresweli, of Maryland, .
as Postmaster General, who drew upseccs- t
sion resolutions and undertook to raise a
company for the Confederate service ? ;
Giant also appoiuterl and a subservient
Senate confirmed Geueral James Long- i

the South to Robert E. Lee and Stonewall
Jackson, to the lucrative position of naval
officer at New Orleans, James L. Orr, of
South Carolina, an uncompromising rebel,
was rewarded by being sent as Minister to
Russia.
We are neither the defender nor apolo
gist of Cushing, never having admired him
since he assisted in disrupting the Dem- ;
ocratic party when he was president of the 1
national Democratic Convention atChailes- j
ton, in 1800. It is plain to our mind, how- !
ever, that his letter to Davis was only a
pretext for his withdrawal, and not the
controlling reason for it, in order to sub
serve the ulterior designs of certain Radi
cal Senators.
flt. All that was Heeded was to arouse
public sentiment till the people themselves
should speak and act with power. Verily
it is the second Declaracion of Independ
ence. The grasping, dishonest members
of Congress staud now trembling before the
American people, even as a Parliament and
King George trembled when freemen put
forth the word, "ire trill be free.'"
Once more the people have the power in
their own hands ; but they will lose it un
less they are as firm as adamant in resist
big every encroachment ; and unless they
make it their watchword to nominate and
elect only honest men. Down with oftice

sentation of common sense, true men.
The only way that grabbing members,
and other government grabstcu s, can atone
for their conduct, is to retire, at the ear
liest practicable moment, from the public
gaze. Such is the atonement demanded
by the popular mind ; and the popular
mind is right. Pittsburgh l'ot.
Conoiif.ps has at last heeded the univer
sal demand of the country and repealed
tho extra pay swindle, fixing the salary of
its members at what it was prior to 3d of
March, 1S73 $5,000. The new law, how-
1 ever, restores the fraudulent mileage clause,
j under the operation of which over two
j hundred thousand dollars will be filched
! from the Treasury. A member of Con.
I gress from California or Oregon with a
I railroad pas in his pocket will receive al
, most as much pay in the shape of mileage '
j as the full amount of his salary. There is :
I no other name for this than wilful robbery.
i ne menioers who clutched the grab are
not affected by the change of salary. They
( took the spoils like a thief would pick a
pocket, and having made sure of the boty,
will keep it. There will he a fearful shak
ing of the iH.litical bones of these salary
grabbers whon the next Congressional
elections take place. Several efforts were
, mde to reduce Grant's py to its original

ou gentleman were afraid to incur his
frown, and hence he will continue to draw
his share of the shameless plunder. i

I There is no living public man to whom the
Democratic party is so much indebted for
its increased strength and improved pros

chiefly owing to his inflexible steadiness
and vigor that tho Democracy of Ohio did
not sink under discouragement and were
not seduced into giving up their organiza
tion and joining a new party. The result
of the campaign vindicated his political
sagacity. The great Democratic victory
won in Ohio under his leadership revived
the hopes, courage, pride and energy of
tho Democracy in every part of the coun
try, and by emulating the worthy example
of their brethren iu Ohio, they were suc
cessful in so many States as to dismiss
from consideration and set at rest all ques

any new .banner or any different organiza
tion. It was Senator Thurman that lifted
the Democracy out of despondency in their
darkest hour, and he has fairly earned the
honors which the party everywhere re
joices to see him wear.

law no license is required, and while the
school fund is cheated out of $100,000 a

not raise $100 to pay for a license, under
the new law now peddle around their peti
tions, and when they procure the names
of a majority of the voters of the ward, the
law con. pels the commissioners to grant
the license. Many country papers claim
that the law is proving beneficial in their
localities, but no one who has any inform

well in this city. Indeed it is arraying
the Germans almost solidly in favor of

at that place in a state of actual starvation.
Eighty families, frenzied and dying with
hunger, are on their way to Diiluth. The
scouts state that up to the time of their
leaving the starving wretches they bad
eaten six children and one man. The
cause of this terrible distress is the failure
of the wild rice crop and the fact that
there is no grain, besides whioh the In

Victor Emanuel, King of Italy, has at

long his mistress. lie wanted to do so a
year or more ago, but his son and heir,
Prince Humbert, protested very strongly
against it. threatening to leave the king
dom if the intention was carried out.
The young man did not want the woman to j
be received at court. Mic may net prove 1 nd the 1

marriage is a morgnatic one, the bride
not being raised to royal rank, and the off

On Thursday last a terrific explosion
occurred at Dunbar furnace, Fayette coun
ty. The tuceyera of tho furnace had been
in a leaky condition for some days and
gave considerable trouble. On the dav in
question, the metal was run off earlier 1
than usual, in order that repairs might be
made, and the manager was examining
the leaky parts, when suddenly there was
a loud report and the receiver was blown
into atoms, portions being carried a dis
tance of nearly a quarter of a mile. The
roof of the casting house was torn off.
The frame building where the engine was
stored was completely torn away, and two
men, James Iaughrey and James Long,
were killed and terrible mutilated. Long,
w ho resides in Allegheny, had his head
completely torn from his body, which was
thrown away about twenty "feet ; Laugh
rey had his legs broken and was otherwise
mutilated.
--The Pottsville Standard relates the i

The facts of the case as sent to us are as
follows : Mr. Patrick Brenenian and fain- j
ily took up their abode at a hotel in Mount '
Pleasant, which was lately occupied by his j
son Edward. Yesterday afternoon about 1
three o'clock Mr. Ii., was seized with a fit i
of sickness and instantly dropped dead. J
His wife at the time was at Gillfrt.,n ;
j where she and her husband had previous
1 ly resided, to which place the sons of the
j deceased hastened to inform her of tho i
sudden end of their father. On arriving i
! at Gilberton, to their great surprise they t

me same time as bet husband. The old
couple were well-known throughout the
country, and were highly respected.
