Thurman, democrat, ha* been re-elected United State* senator from Ohio. -•♦ ' Our member, Mr. Orvis, has been placed upon nearly all the most im portant standing committees of the lower house, vix: Constitutional re form ; Revision; Judiciary genera! ; wars and means; education ; counties and townships. In the state senate, ou 14, Mr. Warfvl presented the petition of twenty-five electors of the Seven* teenth senatorial district contesting the election of Audrew U. Dill. The petition declares that B. F. Waggon seller received 3.440 legal votes and A. H. Dill 3,080 votes and was there* fore duly elected. It is proposed to throw out several electiou polls in Northumherlaud county on the grouud of the reception of alleged fraudulent TOtee and various intor malities. The Democratic member* of ih* lion** paid * d*arvd compliment to • worthy man in the nomination of the Hon. John H. Orvis, of Centre connty, tor Speaker of that hodv During the Uit session Mr. Orvis, by rea*on orhis very great ability, was put forth a* the leader of the Demo cracy. a position which he discharged with fidelity, sad to him we ere indebted for many of iha eipoeuras of King manip ulation* which have alarmed the people •no. which it is hoocd will now come to an end. Wa regret tnat his election did not follow, as he is peculiarly fitted to dis charge the duties which devolve upon that officer —SAs.-ow Times. As the next house of representa tives, will, iu all probability, be dem ocratic, it will be an easy matter to eonfer the speakership upon our rep reseoUtive fAct, who deserves the honor. It is within the power of the democracy of this couuty to place this within the reach of Mr. Orvis by re-electing him. Let old Centre have the speakership next winter —Mr. Orvi* would make a capital presiding officer. If but half of what ~orre*poodent* of Administration newspaper* write about life in Washington be true, the country is having a veritable petti coat government at the Federal Capi tol. One of these chaps perhaps in spired by a sorely disquieted Senator, wrote to hia paper the other dav that many members of the Senate found themselves in a quandary ou the question of confirming or rejecting Williams for Cnief Justice. Grant threatened revenge upon all who re futed to vote for his candidate. Tbe Senators' wives on the other hand State that they would not have re cognised Mr*. Williams as entitled to the first call from them, and threaten ed war upon their husbands if that lady should be elevated to the pround S ailion of "Mrs. Chief Justice." ence Senators would have to choose between political war with Grant or domestic war with their wives—not a very enviable position to say the least—had not Williams relieved them by sensibly declining the posi tion tendered him. lathe House,oo 17th inst., Mr. Orvii presented a memorial tram sev enty-five citizens of Centre couuty asking for the repeal of the local op tion law. Also, one from sixty-four citizens of Centre county of similar import. Also, one from citizens of Centre county praying for au exten sion of the law prohibiting the hunt ing of deer with dogs in said coun tj- Grant threateus to nominate Jere miah S. Black for Chief Justice, should the Senate refuse to confirm Cushing. He says : "I nominated a Ittytr for Chief Justice, and you refused him, because you said that he didn't know enough. Then I sent j in the name of a man who is recogm-. I zed by the bar as a thorough law yer, and you object to hinj because! you say he is an atheist. If you reject j him, I will send the name of Jere miah 8. Black." \ow the question, arise*, will Judge Black prove ac ceptable to tbe President's right bow tr, the Pittiburg Diij/atcb, or hij left bower, the Gazette, or can it be that one or both of the journals have j suggested Judge Black for noraiua- • tion. Who knows.; A Better Prospect For the .South The following despatch sent by President Grant to Governor Davis ef Texas, meets with approval in all quarters, save from a few carpetbag gers and mischief-tuskers who have relied upon Federal bayonets to pro tect them in their outrages and rob beries in the South : EXECUTIVE MANSION, Jan. 151.1874. To Governor Davit, Austin, Tex.: Your despatches and letters recit ing the action af the Supreme Court of Texas in declaring the late elec tion unconstitutional and asking the use of troops to prevent apprehended violence are received. The call is not made in accor daance with the Constitution of the United Slates and the acts of Con- Kess under it, and cannot therefore granted. The act of the Legislature of Texas providing for the recent election hav ing received jour approval, and both political parties having made nomina* tions and having conducted a political campaign under its provisions, would it not be prudent as well as right to yield to the verdict of the people ss expressed by their ballots J (Signed) U. 8. Grant. Upon Pinchback and the other Representatives of the Kellogg gov ernment, who have just returned here, this despatch fell like a thunder clap for it says plainly there is to be no further Federal interference with State elections in the South. That at least is the interpretation placed upon it by Southern Congressmen. If the carpet-baggers in the South are compelled to yield to the verdict of the people as expressed by their ballots they know full well that their occupation is gone, and that tbe time has arrived when the Southern people are to come into their own. If un der this new order of things Con gress should decide to order a new •lection in Louisiana there will not be a vestige Left of tbe so called Kellogg government iu that State Or tbe corrupt ring io aod aj-optnj It.

A meet ing of the miner* and laborer* association of tbia county was held at Plymouth a day or two since nud was attended by over seven hundred miners. They concluded to unite with the national organisation at the last meeting which wa* held at Cleveland last tall aud to place themselves under its care and dis cretion. It was the unanimous opin ion of the meeting that wagea far which they had been working were too low; tlut the operator* could at* ford to pay more, and that an advance should be demanded for the baaia of 1374. A prominent officer of the miners and laborers association stated to-day that the miuera were fully prepared for a strike for the winter seasou aud under no circumstances will they submit to a reduction of wages. The operators of this section have not ask ed for a reduction of wage* but will not consent to make any advance over the basi* of last vear. Sambo's Tax Receipt [From the Dawson v.Ga.) Journal.] A negro liviug iu a ueighbotiug county, having beeu fortunate euough to accumulate considerable of this world's goods, desired a* all loyal subjects should, to pay lax ou the same. It being u new busiuess to liitu, he did not know there wa* a proper officer for receiving Ux, aud couclu ded all that was necessary was to fiud a man with a white akiu. Consequently he hailed the first IUAU he met with, "Bay. boas. I waul to pay my tax: mus, I gib it to you?' Ou being told that it would be recei ved by the comprehending white geu* tleman, the uegro gave him tweuly five dollars and a*kod if that was enough. "I *tippose it is," said the white man. "Boss, gim me showin for dat," said the negro. Again the wit* of the white man were at work, aud he soon handed the negro a slip of paper with the inscription: "As Moses lifted the serpent out of the wilderness, likewise have I lifted twenty-five dollars our of thiad —n negro's pocket," Not long after this the uegro met the lax collector proper. "Done paid it, boss, and here's de ceipt," at the same time handing the piece of paper to the officer. He read; "As Moses lifted the serpent out of the wilderness, likewise have J lifted $25 out of this d—n negroe's pocket." "Hold on hoe* you read um wroug," ejaculated the astonished darkey, as he suatched the paper and carried it to another mao, who began to read, "As Muses lifted—" Here he was in terrupted by the negro, who exclaimed "Look-a*yar. jest gim me dat paper I'm gwlne to lift dat white man out's his boots, fore Uld 1 is.' With this he left and not having beeu heard from him since it is supposed he is still looking for the man to whom he paid his ux. THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP. MR CUSHINGPS NAME WITH DRAWN. His Relations With Jeff Davis. RAKINO OVER THE ASHES Of TE PAST Washington, January 14.—Mr. Cushing has written a letter to the President asking the withdraws! of his name, and the President has ac cordingly done so in a communication to the senate. r j Tuk Republican Caucus. ' The following are additional partic rl ulars in regard to the republican cau ! cuses of yesterday, It has beeu as r | certained that the last forty or fifty, ! ; minutes of the morning caucus were •.almost wholly occupied by Senator . I Sargent in a detailed review of Mr. Gushing'* public life from the time of j President Tyler down to the present j day, which he severely criticized, ar-; guing that a confirmation ought not I jto bo thought of for a moment. Calls ' ; were then wade for a vote, but Mr. i j Boutweli expressed a desire to reply, | and the caucus accordingly adjourned j to give him and other friends of Mr. j , j Cashing such an opportunity. Between twelve and oqs o'clock, ' Mr. Sargent received an intimation ; , I from an undivu lged source that a let- I ter damaging to Mr. Cushing bad 1 been discovered in the rebel iffchifM, and leaving the senate chamber be 1 went at once to the war department | to obtain it, if possible. He was there I iuformed by Adjutant Giuenl Town send that an order of the secretary of J war would be necessary to authorize Ihitn furnishing the desired copy, and Mr. Sargent proceeded to the execu -1 tire mansion, where Secretary Bel-, ( knap was attending a meeting of the I I cabinet, who, with the President, were at the time considering the very doc | ument in question. General Belknap < made Sargent's request known to the President, who at once said it should i be cptpplied with, as the newly-dis covered letter was one jrbich it emi nently befitted the senate to hear and take into consideration. A certified copy having been handed to Sargent, he returned to the capitol for the af ternoon caucus. Mr. Boutweli took the floor, ac cording to agreement, as soon as it was called to order, and made a speech j of some length in favor of Mr. Cuah- , wig's nomination, and was followed by , other friends of Mr. Gushing, as here- t tofore stated. Mr. Sargent meanwhile, reserved [ the important letter with a view to *l t lowing everything to be said in sup- c port of Mr. Cushing's confirmation j that could be said by any one present, a befoie putting au end tp discussion, c as be anticipated, by producing the , document which had just come into a his joosaession. Finally he obtained r the floor and read and commented on <j the letter, being listened to with the , closest attention. The result upon i the caucus has been already describ ed. The following is the letter Mr. Cashing wrote to Jeff Paris, the un earthing of which caused such a sen sation in the caucus of republican senators : "WASHINGTON, P. C., March 21, 1861. — My Dear Friend: This will introduce Archibald Roane, a clerk in the attorney general's office for six or seven years. He has left lbs ser vice here for his sentiments, because lie is a southern man bv birth and education, and is devoted tp what regards as his country—the coufeder- j acy.

Cannibal Tm VillageM Among the papor* presented to the Briliah Parliament relating to the South Sea Islander* is a report by Captain C. H Bimpeon, of her Majesty's ship Blanche, giving an an account of hie visit last year to the Solomou and other group* of Islands in the Pacific Ocean. While at Isabel Island, from which seven women and tnree men were kidnap- I ped in 1871, Captain Siupaon, with I a party of officers, went a short dis - t a nee inland to visit one of the re ; tnarkable tree villages peculiar, he ' believes, to this island. He found > the village built on the summit of a > rocky mountain rising almost per ; nendicular to a height of 800 feel. The party ascended by a native path , from the interior and fouud the ex trente summit a ssaa* of enormous rocks standing up like a castle among which grow the gigantic treee, in the - branches of which the houace of the natives are built The items of tbeee trees rise perfectly straight and smooth without a branch, to height varying ( from 50 to 160 feet Iu the one [ Captain Simpson ascended.'the, houss i was just eighty feet from the ground; ■ one close to it was about 120 feet - The only means of approach to these ' houses is by a ladder made of a creep f er suspended from a post within the i house, aud which of course can be > hauled up at will. The houses are most ingeniously built, and are very I firm and strong. Each house will i contain from ten to twelv* natives, ' and an ample store of stonee is kept, ' which thev throw both with slings and with the band, with great force and precision. At the feet of each i of these trees is another hut, in which i the famiiy usually reeide. The tree bouse being only resorted to st night and during times of expected danger. In fact, however, thev are never safe from surprise, notwithstanding mil their precautions, as the great object in life among the people it to gel etch other's heads. Captain Simpson, in returning, visited a chiefs bouse on the beach and found a row of twenty live huniau heads captured iu a recent raid fastened up across the frost like , vermin st s bsrn door. It was sc kuowlodged that the object of the raid trai to get heads and eat the bodies which is always done. The heads of < men, women and children are a\\> taken and the wonder is that th# whole island does not become dmpoau I, Imted. The people of this and other ■ islands are not, however a courage I ous people. Such a as a stand lup fight betfecu tribe# i? almost un-j known, but they prowl about for prey, attacking whenever they have a! victim iu their power without risk to themselves. In some of the islands, Captain Simpson observed the men having long nair which they wear in fashions like those adopted by the other sex in the favorite modes being the ordinary chignon, or loose down the back, the women, whose hair is shorter than the men's, wear it loose awj undressed. In clothing there is not at present oppor tunity fur European or any other fashions. TH£BP* OPENING OF THE PROCTOR LE(\ TTBKS ON ASTRONOMY. A Brilliant Essay Brilliantly Illus trated.

For our knowledge of tkfl (übstanca of the sun w depend, a* I need not tall you, up on the spectroscope.

The prism breaks up the solar ray into tbe rainbow, tinted streeke with dftrk lines crossing it It up the ray from an iacaodaacaul body into a rainbow etrank, without any dark linai, and a gaseous body gives two or three dark lines. Sodi urn gives yellow lines, hydrogen blue. When we see the lines in the spectrum, w* can tell what it is that burn*. Differ ent burning bodies have, it aeems, a cut off power.

Mr. Beecher laid : I bate (elected tbi* passage becaua in it* phraseology it gives u* MMC idea of the eiarriaa of prayer, which really belong* to it and lend* to keep it out ef that narrow and selfish circle in which it *o often 1 mote*, and in which it ia to often contem plaled by tho*e who argue againtt prayer. For m|n hate I,ran accustomed too much to regard pryyr a* n utere profitable irons action, an errand of getting, running to God aa ona run* to the tture or a doctor or lawyar whan tbay lack something and wiah to procure it; making prayer a eort of serviceable errand huaineaa, asking there ! for* that tan thousand want* of Ufa tbuld be aupplied not by vigilance, not hy indue try, but by luipty asking of God. Tbay want the (Saviour Vo aupenoda bit own Ja*r. and to fir# to aolf-indulgenca and to indolence ibo things provided for in the employment of certain methods. Prayer ia in ita full coccaption lha noblest part of converse or communion with God.

It is not the function, (he simple espreasion of want, it it tbe expression in the beet .' hours, in out beet moods, uf the beat , Vhougbv*. lha best sentiments, the best ' amotions, the best aspirations, of the best ' of every thing. Per if the whole soul be ' f the mighty estate, if it baa every thing in i flower end fruit, in it we bring something I of every feeling and thy best and offer j them to God. It is not, than, simply ado- | sire that we uiay have that which in lha t preaaent lima we may need; it is a tense ' of forming an alliance with the Heavenly , Father ; it is the endeavor to be in such ? converse with him aa a child ia in tba pros- onoa of his aarthly parent, so that it is lha . lifting up of tba soul out of matter, out of ita aarthly surroundinga into tba very < presence of God. Prop lha mataraal 1 • ide prajrar may ba criticised, and ia to day, but if you look *t it from tba materi al side alone and criticise it, you only cri- . licise what may be a disease and not the thing itself; not it* full telf and not iU ideal telf. prayer it the voicebf the soul in tba presence of God, end in the mo- , ment of prayer we separate ourselves from avary other thing, and we aland conscious ly in the presence of our father in heaven, j Let us look into prayer as it is in tba New Testament and see if it has not ol this largeness. Look thj construction oflhe kofd't J\*y#r, which be gives not a* a form but as a typa of prayer, perfect after iu manner, not in these words neces sarily, but perfect according to the genius of this prayer. "Our Father which art in heaven." Above limitation, above all frailty, the sovereign Lord Qod Almighty interpreted In the tford and give* to every one that uUtrs it ths idea of father in the most exalted possible way. "Hallowed be thy nemo." The soul's highest aspiration and tha moat disinter ested glowing of tha child's lova for tha honor and glory of a fathar. "Thy king dom coma, thy will ba done in earth as it is in heavsn." In uttering ihsse simple sentence* tha soul finds ilsair walking in tha procession of ages, in that vast stream of tendencies which *rp rejrlps; up the kingdom of J>od and perfecting it.' Then after this pop'munion with Ud. efter this utteranpe of *ll that (s most disinterested, than copps "Give u this day our daily bread ; forgive us our debt*; lead us not in to temtetion, but deliver ua from evil." bo the Lord's prayer it not a whine; it is tbeaffluenee of* blossoming soul into as affluent a saoie of God'* love.
