A meeting of infidels and freethinkers, was held in the Masonic Hall, a plan was initiated for the propagation of free thinking doctrines throughout the Uni ted States, by similar agencies to those employed by religionists.

Small-pox is spreading in New York with alarming rapidity, and in the opinion of Dr. Morris, the city sanitary inspector, is likely to become epidemic. Twenty-two fresh cases were reported between 25th and 28th nit, yet the Health Department is unable to adopt preventative measures because it has no money at its command The Tyrone Herald makes a mean fliug when it says that our Meek is the ••Canada thistle of the legislature." The Canada thistle is a curse to the soil where it takes root, and to make out Mr. Meek the curae of the legisla ture. is an unwarranted 'slander. What has the Herald to do with our Meek, he is not in its bailiwick, and the Tyrone Hottentot had therefore better mind his own business, and at* tend to the "Canada thistles" in its own party, and not drive us to Mr. Meek's defense by such flings as this one. If our Meek has done any thing which may be wrong in the sight of the Herald, ae think full atonement is made by a repeal of the law library bill, which alone is sufficient to (does) cover a multitude of sins, and we will see to it that this great subject is again brought before our savaiug at Harris burg at any early day, next seassion, and banged be the governor who will dare meet it with a veto. The Herald had better spend its ink in talking up the greatness of Harrison Allen, and let Meek alone. Another Legislative Forgery. It nome time ago kept us busy .'showing up the forgeries committed by men inthe legis lature and in trying to get there. We had hoped that there was an end to that new kind of villany t get into offiaa and prac ticed while in office. Ons esss we chroni cled was that of an Assemblyman in New York, who forged the speaker's name to s bill. Another case was that of a candidate tor Assembly who bad forged his *r*nd father's name to a very important docu ment, and there may have been more, hut they do net just now occur U> us, but anoth er forgery very recently came to light, tf which the New York Sun makes mention as follows: "It is reported that the Hon. Israel T. Hatch of Buffalo has alleged in a recent public speech that a clause in the Legisla tive Appropriation bill of last winter giving flfty thousand dollars to the Messrs. Lord af Rochester to eover damages done to the Erie Canal by gales on tha lake was naver passed by eitbsr branch of the Legislature, out was instated in by forgery after the bill had passed. This will doubt less be investigated by the coming Legis lature. There are other cases of forgery is bills committed in the ssune manner, some ef which were exposed in the Ban at the time, and they should all be dealt with to gether." From all these cases H appears that there is a new way practioad by corrupt men io offioo to rob and plunder; if tbey cannot do it by a swindling contract, or legalized legislative steal, they now resort to forgery, and what is most lamentable, is, that men were found willing to re-elect all the rogues above mentioned to the positions which they had disgraced and in which they had combined with rings to rob and plunder. We long forthe day when noton ly villains will not dare show their faces in decent society, but when men who support them, with a knowledge of their deeds' Will be ashamed to show themselves in open day. Pray to God to help you, aad put your hand to the work. The Elements of Opposition to General Grant (From the N. Y. World.) At least three-fifth of the voting cit izertt of the Unite*! Stales deprecate and would gladly prevent the re-loc lion of Presideul Grant. Those op ponents of his admiustratiou consist of the whole Democratic party and fully one-fifth of the Republican party. The.onlv difficulty is to combine these into one solid phalanx The defeat of Grant and the deliverance of the country from another four year# of his imbecile and disgraceful adminis tration, depend upon the possibility of perfecting a cordial uoton among his opponents. To accomplish this some things must he done, and other things to be forborne. Among the things to he forborne and deprecated are these two: First, appeal* to mere party spirit and party prejudice. If Demo crats should raise their party Hag too high, and flauut it too defiantly in the faces of Grant's Republican enemies, they would eet a had and suicidal ex ample. Hoiu-st Republicans can en ter into such a union as wv propose only by breaking their present par ties; and Democrats are bouud, in henor and magnanimity, to concede as much as they ask. \V cannot, in conscience and consistency, ask others to make greater sacrifices fur tke com mon good th* wo are willing to make ourselves. Of course, it would be an iusult to either side to expect it to make anr sacrifice of principle; hut if, on comparison of views, the anti- Grant men are found to agree on es sentials, it is the plainest dictate of patriotism and public duty to waive minor points of difference ami not al low party punctilio to staud iu the way of success. Secondly, another thing to be for borne is any obstinacy of nrefereuce for favorite candidates for President. For our part, wo do not much care from which branch of the combined opposition to Grant the candidate is taken, provided he be one who can give the needed toue to our public ser vice. Let it be understood that, iu this respect, both wings of the reform party stand on tho same footing in every respect, and that there will be on each side equal willingness and seal to support a Presidential candi date selected form the other. It is for the interestof all tonominate the strong est man, irrespectiveffisf geographical position or former party connections. We hope the friends of no real reform er will be discouraged from pressing his candidacy when the proper time comes. To lead such a movement is an object of honorable ambition to any statesman. The more as pirants the better, provided the sup porters of each will cheerfully submit to the dtcisinn of a national eouven lion after a fair comparison of claims. A multitude of competitor! will be at tended with two advantages; it will stimulate and diffuse effort previous to the nomination ; and it will detelop the popular strength of leading candi dates, thereby aiding the new Presi dent to compose a strong and popular administration. Let all candidates, whether inside or outside the Demo cratic party, have a fair show in pre liminary cauvass. Our chief bus.ness, meanwhile, is to settle the principles and issues on which the combination against Grant shall be made. Without undertaking to give a com plete catalogue, we will indicate a few of the elements of opposition to Gener al Grant: I. The crusade against corruption in office. Thia one of the most hopeful issues for a combined movement of honest Democrats and honest Republi cans. It has been well started in suc cessful campaign in which Democrats and Republican* have served together with co-operating zeal. The ' over throw of Tammany is a preliminary engagement, which introduces the gen eral battle against official corruption. It has demonstrated the possibility of unking party differences in a joint el fost to expose and dethrone fraud and punish its perpetrators. A movement of this kind, which is prompted by an awakened public conscience, cannot atop with a mere local triumph. It will spread throughout the country like a devouring conflagration, con suming the nepotism uf Grant and the corruption of bis subordinates as effectually as it has the abuses of the Tammany Ring. This is ODe plank of the platform on which all the op ponents of General Grant can stand together. 11. Amnesty to the South. Liber al, honest Republicans can unite with Democrats on this ground as cordial ly as in opposition to official corrup tion. The rascality which has been brought to light in the Southern State governments is absolutely astounding ; and it has chiefly resulted from the vindictive, ostracizing policy which has excluded the property-holders and intelligent classes of the South from their due influence in local poli tics. A victorious crusade against corruption necessarily includes the only radical cure for the hideous mal administration which prevails in the Southern States. 111. The revenue reform or free trade movement. This is one of most important bases of the new political combination. For the last three years, revenue reform has been making great progress among thinking Republicans, especially in the West. The most widely circulated Republican journals in Chicago and Cincinnati are ardent advocates of free trade, and free trade, with amnesty for its ally, carried Mis souri against Grant and elected Gratz Brown last year. The revenue reform Republicans and the Democrats can coraiaJly act together on this great issue. IV. Tbeae tad some other baaea form theconcorreDt and harmopioua political actionof all good men. * * Such a new movement aa we propose affords the beat promiae of enliatingjthe German vote in opposition to Gener al Grant. The majority of our Ger man citizens, both in the East and the West, favor purity of administration and univeraul amnesty. Among the moat zealous and determined foes of Tammany were the German voters of this city ; and the great amnesty tri umph in Missouri last year was chiefly owing to their co operation under the lead of Senator Schurz. This elo quent and gifted statesman justly de spises General Grant ; and in such a combined opposition as is proposed he would be a boat. His vigorous sense and persuasive tongue would aid the reform movement to captivate and carry the whole body of German vo ters in the United States, in opposition to such a nepotist, venal gift-taker, and corrupter of the public morals as President Grant. We will not. at present, enumer ate farther. It must be obvious, from the points we have presented, that nothing is needed but a liberal, con eilatory spirit to bring all the op ponents of General Grant together on a satisfactory platform, and make the next Presidential election the opening of a new and brighter era in our pol itics. —Subscribe for the Reporter. carpet'bapr Thfovinff and Mlsgor erf)menl the Reconstructed Mail* (From tho Now York Tribune.) For months the developments of nu calit) in the management of there- I constructed governments of severqj I Southern States have been growing more conclusive. No intelligent man ■ longer doubt# tlint those governments I have been flngrautly expensive and corrupt—that they have increased taxation, incurred debt, and iiiod bond# to an enormous exteut. The facts are iu part concealed or obscuredP hut cannot long remain so ; enough is already known to justify the very gravest apprehensions. In the two Carolina* especially the robberies ap pear to have Wcu quite as gigantic, wheu the relative wealth of the respec tive communities is considered, a* in thia city. Yet men whom we have es teemed houest. talk as though all ex poaurc and reprehension of these vil la nice should be left to Democratic journals —that we ought to ignore, 01 uefig, or belittle them. They rtnre seut as calculated to damage the Republican party general ly. We hold that, even if this he so, that (tarty will be far worse damaged by seeking to cover up those iniqui ties, and llius making them to some, extent its own. Let it promptly and fearlessly expose and denounce the criminals, if it would vindicate itself from all complicity in their crimes. Senator Blair on the Situation. St. Louis, November 21.—A rejpor ter of the Republican interviewed Sen ator Blair yesterday in regard to his observations iu a member of the sub- Ku klux Committee, which has just closed it* investigations ill Alabama and Mississippi. Following are the maiu points or Mr. Blair's statement: The testimony of some two hundred witnesses was taken. The radical wit nesses were chiefly negroea, while those of Mr. Blair were gentlemen of edu cation aud prouiinouce in society. The evidence taken at Huntsyilie, Ala bama, showed that there existed u sys tem of wholesale plundering carried on through the government, and the individual acts of negroes, in conse quence of which the people in mauv iostauces, were driven to take their own bauds and protect their property by inflictiug a punishment upon the negroea. It was not shown in any in stauce, that these acts had au> thing to do with politics. There are many in stances of arson for plunder or for re venge, aud a great many instances of rape which are instantly and violently punished. Apart from these thiugs there is no more violence in the South than in any other part of the country. The imprisonment of negroes does not repress the plundering by them. They don't regaid it as a punishment, ou the contrary a prison is more comfor table than their own cabins, and is no digrace to Iks incarcerated. Id Sumpter, Green and Hale coun ties mauv negroes voted the Demo cratic ticket, ami these counties have Democratic majorities. The carpet baggers had lelt thia region, and the attempt was made to prove that this was the result of violence and intimi dation. But the effort entirely tailed, as much the same condition of things existed in various sections of Mississip pi, brought about by the plundering of negroes. The (ndicy ot the State government, under Governor Alcorn, is very vindictive in the prosecution of whites. Under the Ku kiux act some three hundred indictments have been found in the United J-nates Courts against whiles, on very fl ; ;nsy pretexts. In a great majority ofth • eases the en forcement act* is regarded as arbitrary and illegal, involving great low and expense. IU regard to the proclamation of martial law Mr. Blair said the people are apprehensive that if it becomes ne cessary to carry the elections, martial law will be declnred by tho President. They feel that the wholo thing is a mere trick of a party to retain power, and they arc convinced that tho only way to stop these things and restore peace and harmony iu the South is to accept the Missouri policy proclaimed by the St.. Louis Republican newspa per, and vote for some liberal Repub lican to defeat Grant, thereby securing j a general amnesty, and the rejwal of ail the Ku klux laws. This is the ou-l ly thing that gives the Southern peo fde anr hope for the future. He bc ieves that ifGrant is re-elected, it will come near depopulating the Southern States of white people, a* they cannot remain there in safety under the pre ent condition of things. Mr. Blair stated that unfairness characterized the action of the Com mittee in taking testimony, the major ity frequently reserving witnesses un til it was too late for hiin to procure rebutting testimony. Thov only had, one real Ku klux before liieui, a man who bad joined tho Klan in Sumptcr county, Alabama, a while before the war, and who had cast bu tone vote' since the war and that (or a radical. The people do not hope good to come out of the action of the Committee, as they do not believe their true condition will be reported. The only ray of hope i that penetrates the South at present i and keepe the people from complete despondency it their faith in the sue- i cess of the "passive policy." ( No Independence. Horace Greeley says there is no more iudendence in the vast army of Federal office holders and journalists and others who look to them for their daily bread, than there is among the Eunuchs in the Grand Turk's seraglio. He means that for such men as Col lector of tbe Port of Pittsburg as wa'l as New York, to our revenue officials and their Clerks, to our Radical jour nals filled with government advertis ing. Let tlicm declare that Charles ,Sumner or any other man than Grant ought to be our next President and see the icsult. We let Greely talk for himself— "The people of the United States less than a year hence, will elect their President for the ensuing four years. Now that the elections of 1871 are over, they should begin to canvass, and consider, and take counsel with each other, with reference to that elec tion. There should be a free parlia ment fsr the next three or four months, wherein each should be incited to dc clare his real thought, to express freely his inmost convictions. Yet wo all know that the liberty to do this no longer exists —that the vast army of Federal office holders, with the jour nalists and others who look to fhem for patronage, can only evince a nmnly freedom at the'eost of their daily bread. Were one hundred of the best and most efficient officers in tho revenue service at this port, after comparing notes, to unite to-morrow in this dec laration : "We regard Charles fiuni ner, the eminent and spotless champi on of Universal Liberty, the oldest (in service) and the bravest Senator still at his post, as the proper man to lead the Republican airay in our next Presidential canvass, and invite all Republicans to unite with us in com mending him to general acceptance," they would all be removed from office, within a week. No conceded effieien-i oy, no proved fidelity, no political or vice in tlio past, tu> capacity fur such j service in the future, could save them >from instant proscription. Who doubts that this is iudelonsi bly wrong. Who denies that the Ite S publicans iu otlico shoqld be accorded freedom to ditler with regard to our 'next nominee for President? Who does not know that no such freedom exists? One ill n thousand may ho so fearless and freesouled us to say; "Take your paltry office! "I will say what I thins, and bravo the cuttsr tpteucc;" but this sort have generally been weeded out ore this, and the great body of those who remain have no mote real freedom in the promises than the euuuchs in the (irank Turk's e raglio have as to the leeognitioii or re jeetioii of his successor. is it not high time that these truths were spoken out? It is not the duty of the People to hear and consider them ? Chloroform is taxed by the laiilf law £I.OO per pound in gold. Its costs in Kuropc 72 1-2 cents jnr pound. The wholesale price in New York, iu 'currency, is $4,00 per pound. The i revenue derived from this article by the United Stales government in the I year 1870, was £139,50. Very little [of course i imported. It is manufac tured easily in New York, and those who use it ure forced to Jay four times the price they could get for if the tax was abolished. Ibo government gets no revenue from it, for it out* niofw to collect the £130.50 than the govern ment receives. A great many other articles are taxed in the saiue way. with similar results. CUBA. Continual Excitement —Eight of the Sacrilegious Students Sentenced to Death. Havana, November 28.—There is 1 great excitement here. The court' martial was trying forty-seveu students for outraging a grave. Eight were found guilty, at:d were to be shot. Business is suspended.

New York, Nav 30. —The Tribune, to-morrow, ravs: "With Thaukvgiv ing it seem® tit that there should be an end of Murphy, and we propose now to make it." It then proceed* to pub lish three columns of documentary 1 evidence, nmiuly derived from the files of the War Department, in ref -1 ercnce to Murphy's army contract. The evidence which has come to light, it says, proves him to be a defaulter 'to the govcrumout in out contract alone to the amount of 9460,000. t This with 150,000 loss on thoddv hats furnished by him, makes Murphy an actual defaulter to the government for over $510,000. The Tribune explains that it has in every case published the evidence agaicst Murphy, not when it thought it could have a pdlilcal ef fect, but when it could get it, and that the present evidence was procur er! only on the day before his removal, and would not now be punishod at all but for the official letters of compli ment, which make it encumbent on it to defend what it has heretofore said.

SMALL POX. Tho follow ing succinct facts, in taferrnce to this terrible disease, have been indispu tably established by the careful observa tion of scientific men at home and abroad : 1. That infants should l>e vaccinated in a month after birth. 2. That vaccination should ba repeated at the age of fourteen years. 3. Thai tho older persons grow after that, the less danger there is of an attack of small pox or varioloid, which is small ixix modi fied by previous vaccination, and thnt after fifty years there is no danger of an attack.| 4. Still, if there is any danger of unusual exposure to the disease, or it it prevails largely in a community, it is safer to be vaccinated again. £. Nurses in small pox hospitals who are ro-vaeeinatod arc almost wholly exempt, while other nurses, who are careless of re vaccinnllon, have varioloid ic eases ten times more numerous. . That the father the remove of the vac cine matter from what was taken from the cow, tho more necessary is re vaccination — that is. vaccine matter loses somo of its power in every person it passes through, | hence if city practitioners should take all their matter from the cow direct, every ten years, tho community would be greatly safer. 7. No authenticated case has yet occurod ; where any disease has been communi cated through vaecino matter, other than modified small |MIX. This statement should bo fixed upon tho memory of the intelligent reader, as hare assertions to the contrary are recklessly made by a certain eiass of uneducated persons, who write on matters pertaining to health and disease. 8. It is a very rare occurrence that any , pcraon|who has been onco well vaccinated and was in good health at the time suffers! from varioloid. Those who hare varioloid after having been vaccinated onco suffer, because it did not take well or some other disease was in tho system at the time, or the matter was at too great a remove from the original source, the cow.

Washington, Decent her 5. —Senator Wil son and others have heon engaged since yesterday in trying to bring about a recon ciliation between tho President and Sen ator Sumner, with tho view of placing the latter on the foreign affairs committe.

The question of closing the public schools until the disease abates is being brought bo fore the public by communications through the daily papers. 11. A. Guernsey, late revenue collector oi the eighteenth congressional district, has been committed for embezzlement at Pitts burg in deluult of $25,01X1 bail. lli'sHANi* IMA mux v.—The prev alent opinion that a husband is legally liable for >ef-nae set tip that defendant furnished his wife with an ample supply o! necrs-aries. In the course of his charge Judge Thay er said : "it is a false and foolish n>■ tion for tradespeople to entertain that a huslmutl is hound to pay all bills contracted by his wife. No stub monstrous doctrine is allowed ill the law. Tradesmen must ascertain the facts aud the true relation of man and wife before allow ing the latter to run up bills which be is to bo looked to pay." CoiuiiK-uliug upon this ex position of this law , which ought to be more familiar than it i, the Phila delphia Record thinks that when trades|>eople come to distinctly under stand it "a very sensible step will have In-eti accomplished towards re- Ifornt in the wanton extravagance and ruinous follv which, uudcr the mere tricious impulse of the stupid despot -iilled "fashion,'' so wastes the sub stance, mars the maimers, deforms the p-ntou*, degrades the morals and wrecks the hai pines* of myriad house holds, aud and individuals, not only in this community, tut throughout the country." The Washington organ of Csraut save that it will require not leas thnn ten thousand regular troop*, judicious ly distributed through In* Southern States, to insure a free ami fair elec tion in those States in 1872 ; and that it may be necessary for Congress to increase the armv.. Th is is burouc of numerous iudicatious that Grant intend* to force his re-elec tion by placing the South under bay onet rule should he receive the lie publican nomination. Such a method of insuring a free aud fair elcctiou certainly deserves the credit of origin ality. It is only equalled by the in genuity of the Ethiopian present-taker who relates his experience in one of the negro minstrel halls. "I'oiupcy, whar you get dat watch "A man gub it to me." "Gub it to you for uuthu? "Yes—but 1 had to knock 'him down free or fou times before he'd do it." If Grant runs for presi dent iu 1672 he is determines! to have a free and fair election, even if it should be necessary to bayonet every man in the Southern States who op poses htm. What would be deemed a free and fair election by a man who has used United States troops and Gatling guns to control the action of a Republican Convention at New Or leans tuay easily be imagined. Every Radical Senator iu New York legislature who was bought by t Tweed A, Co , to vote for the corpora tion charter, by which so much monev was stolen and the people defraud*!, aud who was a cnudidate for te-elec tiou was re-elect*! by the Radical parly and will take his seal iu Janu ary next. This circumstance proves one fact beyond all houbt. that it mat ters veiy little what a radical does while in office, if reuoraiuated which he can easily effect by money, he will he re-elected. The cry, "the parlv must he saved" is all powerful, ami, up to the polls they go {will mell, like a flock of sheep and vote the ticket ,clean through. Not ao with Demo crats. Iu New York they did not preach reform merely before the elec tion aud then go and vote the ticket. They went to the polls and acted out their profession even should the parly be defeat*!. In this course they showed their good sense. The Radi cals however took good care to vote their men iu even if die party ban been tw.ughi the year previous hv Tweed.
