The second IxHiisia na i n vest iiruting rum -
mittee sent to Xow Orleans a few weeks
ago—like the one before it —was com
pacted of mostly radical congressmen,
and those also report like the one that
proceeded them, tliat a majority of con-
Vrvatim were elected to the legislature.
These are the conservatives that Graut
had arrested and driven front the state
house by federal soldiers. The wrong
and usur|>ation of the President is thus
doubly established by two radital inves
tigating committees, who were sent to
Xew Orleans to fix up a case in (tram's
favor, hot these gentlemen found the
filets so clearly against his unwarranted
course that they could not put a false
face upon Louisiana affairs.
"Their sympathy for the honest IX
inocracv of Pennsylvania aided materi
ally in defeating trie machinations of the
clique."—W alchman.
Thus sj>eaks the Watchman of the-
Penusvalley democrat* who thought
they had good reasons for cutting Alex
ander. Xow let ns see how much sym
pathy Mr. Meek showed for the "honest
Democracy of Pennsylvania." When iu
tiie la-gislatnre he sold out the demo
crats of Philadelphia to the cut-throat
radicals of that city on the Building
Commission bill, by whieh the power of
the Phihulelpbia radicals was increased
t> manufacture fraudulent majorities to
defeat the "honest Democracy of Penn
sylvania." As proof that Meek did this,
see Philadelphia Age, of May 1">, IS7I.
' whieh exposes him.
Then again to show his sympathy for
the "honest Democracy of Pennsylva
nia," he last fall encouraged the intro
duction of Moducism into Centre county,
hv which a Congressman. Senator and
our county ticket were put in jeopardy.
Had lie succeeded in defeating Mr.
Wallace thereby, that would have count
ed two on U. S. Senator against the "De
mocracy of Pennsylvania," and had his
Modoc movement sin reeded iu defeating
our county ticket, that would have coun
ted four against the "Democracy of Penn
sylvania," or a total of six, enough to de
feat a democratic Senator for the "De
mocracy of Pennsylvania." Xow Gray,
we have you cornered completely on
"sympathy for the Democracy of Penn
sylvania," you must admit it, and it is
your treat, and you will not refuse to
"set them up," when we tell yon how to
do it, without costing you any stamps.
You left from f:* to $25 with a number
of landlords, when a candidate for As
semble, to be used for hitters to seen re
you delegates -.one of these landlords told
us recently tliat there were still 4b cents
unspent. Xow you chouse a second and
we will choose one, and then proceed up
on the "code of honor," and wipe ont
tliat much benzine.
Now quit your scolding at the demo
crats over here, it don't become you.
The wiit of habeas corpus is an in
strument which was framed in Eng
land about two centuries ago to pro
tect the citizen from the aggressions of
the governing power, and is there re
garded as the bulwark of personal
liberty. It was adopted in this coun
try on the original formation of our
Government, and the frameis of our
Constitution wisely determined that
its provisions should uever be suspend
ed unless in cases of rebellion or iuva
sioD. In Great Britain it is regarded
as the most sacred feature of the Brit
ish Constitution, and any monarch or
ministry who should dare to interfere
with it would b? overwhelmed by
public indignation. Yet we see the
President of the United States con
spiring with the most disreputable
class of political knaves to deprive the
American people of this most inesti
mable of civil rights for the worst of
purposes. Have uot the representa
tives of the Republican party in Con
gress sense enough to see that every
man who joins in this conspiracy w ill
be marked ly his countrymen as a
traitor to freedom for the remainder
of his life ?

We have late intelligence tVoni ■'salt
River. Mr. t%. W. Campbell, late of
Harris township, about three weeks ago.
managed to pas* the guards ami slipja-d
j lvek to his old home. He fhrnished us
much information as to the state of at
j fairs up Salt Hiver. He savs provisions
i are exceedingly high ami of a |W>or qual
ity, and society uitteh dcmoraliied and
not at all to suit his tastes, having been
j accustomed to ko'|t i.ikkliwiii|wny leftw
he does not wisli to injure his g,sst
I name hy tho company he has Men oblig
sl to keep simv last No vends-1
Mr.Campbell tell* na that two phsfo*
or "|stker" are generally prevalent up
there. IViker as a past-time, with carols,
is one phase, and poker a* a disease.
! with snakesamijratsinit is another phase
jof it; wc are glad to learn from him that
he has not yet had an attack of either,
j Mr, Campbell says that Ihuletr is mtn h
trouhhd with the "jmker," ami when it
j attacks him, he always imagine- it is
silver s|sH>ns, and lo- then go
through the motion of shuvcling them
ujsiu pili -, and -a) - Ikji i- ncvi i ■
I much in his element as when he thinks
lit is raining *|swuis and he is gwthering
I them iu.
Mr. Campbell also informs us that he
saw tuorv black eyes aud Moody m->
in the time they have been up Nilt Hiv
1 cr, tlian ever before. He says Ben Hut
j ler wears two black eyes, a bruised face,
land curries one arm iu a sling and -till
> I doubles up his one tii ami swears he
J can who Hop the lw>t man in the colony.
He also tells us that counterfeiting is
largely earried mi and that nearly every
one keeps a little saloon, w hieh is uimut
the only oevupaiioii followed. These
thing* do not suit Mr. t 'umpbell at all,
and he would like to lie in better euni
penv. tie says that a few Bible* were
sent up to them by democratic friend*,
hut they were "|H-arls thrown before
swine" —he, however, managed to secure
one, ami has lawn reading it more faith
fully than ever, and he now very often
has serious thoughts of joining the deui
rratic party. He av* that he tried to j
organise a grange, bat failed, a* all
seemed to have turned middle-men uiid
they only study how to "ootue it" over j
their neighbor, atul that nothing would!
do him more good than to have the
privilege of mVaaioually meeting with
the grangers down here, and enjoying
their good company.
Mr. Campbell iu his trip down. pissed j
through Haines, IVnn, Gregg and Pot-,
ter, and left his marks as he went along, j
so large that even the siiow-stonus have I
uot yet covered them. Mr. Campbell
left for Salt River again on \\ ednesday :
of last week. his ticket was numbered j
"160.** We trust he may reach his des- j
Unation safely ; preserve his good name; |
escape black eyes and either phase of j
the |H>ker, and then when he is wanted
again down here, he w ill Ik- sent for. I
Mr. Campbell was very anxious to stop
off at Harrisburg, but the boat he t<>ok
|ta**age in did not go by tliat route.
THE LATE
ELECT I OX.
The late election for Assembly in this
county, having demonstrated that sotue-1
body struck Billy PaUcraou and pretty J
nigh knocked the wind out of Meek'sj
bread-basket that nice little gentleman
iu his agony wants to say that we did it j
—giving us more credit for influence than |
we ever claimed. Well, Mr. Meek Nyt*|
we have the liewtr to explain and here |
we go, Gray, merry as a sleighing party t
Haines tow nship, right along side of
- Wui. K. Alexander, reversed its majori- j
ty and went against our caudidate by
.58 majority ; this was rough, ami the
democrats, some of them, who led off in J
this, were men who always stood by
Meek through thick and thin.
In Peun township, Mr. Alexander's j
home, and whieh -alw ays instructed for j
Meek, the republican candidate doubled j
bis vote, and this was done l>v the effort ,
of democrats who always -wear by
Meek.
Miles township also fell back, itnd
here too some of Mcck's warmest friends
took a stand against Alexander.
11l Gregg township w here the opposi
tion candidate also gained, some of
Meek* old friends took a determined
stand against Alexander.
In Potter towuship,—which swung
right around, like Haines, and gave On
majority against Alexander, —some of
Meeks hed old frit nd* rolled up their
sleeves against Alexander and handled
him without gloves.
And so on—hut this is enough for our
purjmse. Xow wc are ready to furnish
the names of all these date! Meek men,
who fought Alexander, to Mr Meek, or
any other man privately, and they will
all own upto it, and glory in the work
they did. Xow Gray, you have the floor
why did you let your friends
do thus ? Either you failed to bring
t them up to the work or else they were
j disgusted with ytur irwk. Explain. As
, far as the editor of this jmjter is concern
ed, onr numbered vote will show that
r we voted for Alexander and our columns
. show tliat we advocated his election, but
, we found it the "up-hillwt" busioeua,
] "you bet." and wc an* frank to admit
, that some of ourohl friends also opjiosed
1 Alexander and own up to it t<*>. That's
. how it was done.
t Why Gray, bless your unconverted
soul, don't you know that you are the
. most unfit man in Pennsylvania to
throw stones —they always bound hack
and make you a "sore eye." Didn't you
■ know it? We don't want to go over all
■ vour sore* jnst now, —bless you, every
- one knows them by heart, and hundreds
f of democrats, are sitting and sighing for
only one opportunity to give you a rom
' plimentary at the ballot-box.
A BOXAPARTIbT MO VEMEA 1
IX FRANCE.
Our readers may as well be expecting
an attempt to restore the empire and the
Konajiart dynasty in France. We be
lieve the arrangemeiita are about com
plete, and the execution of the enter
prise will commence at an early day.
The presence of Marshal Bazaine on
Futurday at Santander, a Sjtaiiiah town
on the French frontier, is probably con
nected with Ibis undertaking.
It is uot generally know n that such an
attempt was to have been made by the
' late Napoleon 111. Some time befoie
his death he had borrowed a large sum
of money for the purpose in London ; but
finding that his failing strength was uot
equul to the tiling, he returned the mon
ey to the lenders. A great part of the
capital for the present effort is doubtless
furnished from a similar source.
If France had a regular Government
of any sort, such an undertaking could
not succeed. I>ouis Napoleon himself
tried the exjieriinent repeatedly during
the great reign of Louis Philippe, hut in
each case his failure was rediculous.
Xothing but the republic of 1848 made if
possible for him to get possession of |
France. Whether the republic of D 7<>
will prove equally favorable to a similar
pitft, remains to bo determined.

THE LOUISIANA IX VEST l-
OA TloX.
Washington, February It'. V full
meeting of the Special C'oinmittee of tin
House on affair-in Louisiana was held
thi-evening. A tier a discussion of the
j (silitieal condition of the state uml sta
tu* of the Kellogg government, lasting
-overal hours, a majority ofthet'omuiit
| tee, consistiug of Me—rs. 11.wr, Free,
j Wheeler und Foster, agreed to two reso
lutions. to be submitted to the House on
Monday. The first resolution will
recognize Kellogg a- Gover
nor of Louisiana, and the second w ill de
clare that the Conservatives elected a
j majority of the Legislature last autumn
and recommend that the Conservative
throw u out last autumn by the Return
ing Board lie admitted to their seats.
The second resolution is equivalent to a
declaration that the action of the Re
turning Board was fraudulent, while the
tir-t is intended to prevent the iuipeaeh-
I tuent and removal of Kellogg. It i- ev-
I ideutly the hope of the Repuhliean mem
| laws of the committee that, upon the
(A— age of these resolutions, the diltleul
tie-in Louisiana will be compromised
and that the equilibrium will be restor-
I ill. The second resolution is agreed to
I ly all the meiubeni of the committee.
| It i- probable that there will Is- no gen
j eral report f the committee. Mr. Hoar
has written out a long document, re
view ing the evidence taken by the com.
j mittee in a very partisan spirit, and put
ting the disorders that have occurred in
I Louisiana in tlieir wor-t light. To this
j Mr. Fry and Mr. Wheeler assent, but
j Mr. Foster docs not give his full adlic-
J stun, as it conflicts with the viewsalready
j presented in his statement of evidence
I taken by himself and Messrs. Phc-lps
aud Potter in Xew Orleans. Mr. Mar
ahull, of Illinois, will prcparca minority
report, whieh will he signed by Mr. I'-d
--ter, and jx>ssibly by Mr. Hieljis. The
committee will meet again to-morrow to
complete its action.
A LIVELY SCENE IX CONGKKMS-
Mlt. COX TKII'MPH AXT.
Washington, February 19. The lloune
passed the Army Appropriation bib lo-
I day without material amendment. None
I of the Radical schemes which have been
promised for some timr past were foisted
I upon the hill, though M,\ Cox's amend
ment prohibiting tho use of the army for
I tho dispersion of State legislatures •
voted down, the Radicals deeming it wise
to keep the measure free from legislation
. | touching the use of troop* in the Stales oi
the South. During the diicussion of the
amendment of Mr. Cox a most amusing
. scene occurred, which set the House in a
roar, und finally turned the laugh most
heartily on to tho Republican side. Just
i before the House met this morning some
one placed the Globe oi July, '6a, upon
the desk of Mr. Wheeler, of Xew York,
who was managing the Army bill, with *
i portion of a speech, marked as delivered
by a Mr. Cox, in which he most zealously
defended the use of troops in dispersing
, one of the so-called legislatures of Kansar,
in the civil strife in Hint Statu at that date.
Mr. Wheeler supposed, of course, tliut
there never was but one Mr. Cox in Con
i gres*, in the porscn of the member from
New York, and, in tho slang ofthc House,
imagined that "he bad him." After Mr.
Cox's amendment had been read prohibit
ing the use of troops after the Louisiana
fash i in, Mr. Wheeler asked Mr. Cox ifhc
did uot upprove Colonel Sumner's rout, by
the miliUfj, of a Kansas Legislature in
'56.
"No, *ir ; I did not," said Mr. Cos, "It
is well known I acted with Judge Douglas
on that question."
"Well, let us -e< how the gentleman
j acted," replied Mr. Wheeler, and, with n
countenance beaming with confidence and
! a manner full of assurance, he sent to the
Clerk's desk the speech of Mr. Cox, as it
appeared in the Globe, defending the ac
tion of Colonel Sumner.
It vti for a moment a palpable bit.
I Mr. Cox, himself, did not seem to under
stand it. Tho Republican side laughed,
applauded and jeered.
I Mr. Cox of New York, only for a mo
ment bewildered, In vuin tried to be
bvard.
"Read." "Read, 1 ' shouted the Repulili
cans.
Mr. Cox, above the din, cried, "A point
•f order," and at last was heard. Then
he said that the Cox being quoted was one
Lysander Cox, of Kentucky, who was in
the Congress of 1856, of which he (S. S.
Cox) wa not a member. Then the Dem
ocratic side roared with derisive laughter,
and the Republicans, dumbfounded,
turned to Mr. Wheeler. That gentleman
was as much confounded as the others,
and Uually admitted that the speech was
handed to him without i-xhmination, and
he suppose!, of course, that It had been
made by hit colleague.
The bill as passed appropriates
UUO. An amendment of Mr. Randall, pro
hibiting the use of any money for patent
appliances f >r destroying moth, was adopt
ed, thus bii Uuig up n huge job which lias
run for years in the War Department.

Finally, the itcrni abating, I again return,
