The aggregate number in attendance was between 500 and 600. The annual report of the Secretary -•hows that, at the beginning of the offi cial veer, there were 517 granges in Ohio. Now there are 1,146 in good working or der, with 65,000 members. Every coun ty in tlie State is represented.

These legal tenders will be taken from the cash hi the Treasury, cancelled and burned by the propier officer of the Department. The Washington Republican is Grant's organ. It is advocating a third term for Grant. It also advocated the adoption of the force bill. Why? Because, to use its own language, '"the passage of the bill is required to preserve to the Radical party the electoral vote# of the Southern State#." And it further says: "Remem ber, if the Democrats carry the Southern States, IB they will if the Wiiitc Lesgue usurpation in some of them in not sup pressed, it will require only fifty Demo cratic electoral votes from the Northern States to elect a Democratic President." Two things are herein shown—that Grant is a candidate for the third term, and that the "force bill" was a part of the plan to elect him, by putting the Southern States in such shape tliat Grant could use the military to aid his office holders in the plot of re-electing him. The opinion of our business men that there was to be an early and encourag ing revival of trade generally, isconfirm ed by an elaborate article in that observ ing paper the New York Bulletin. It says that while business is awaiting the advent of better weather, there are a number of encouraging signs. In the dry goods trade a hopeful feeling pre vails, and the weight of opinion, among merchants indicates a lair and safe busi ness. The jobbing trade, although open ing two or three weeks later than usual, has commenced with lair prospects, stocks in the bands of retailers through out the country being exceptionally small. In the metal trade there is a feeling of some doubt as to the outlook, but a disposition to hop>c for some im provement over the present stagnation. Most of the eastern producers of iron are inclined toehold for rather higher prices, in view of a prospective cutting off of supplies consequent up>on the coal Btrike, the Bulletin adds: "So fisr as respects a majority of the trade#, we seem to have reached a condition in which a lair show of activity would greatly strengthen con fidence and a-eatet marked revival of - The croaking distrust respect ing the solvency of commercial firms has had but veryjpartial coufirmajion of the frequency of failures; and what gutsgiv-' InS do remain would quickly disappear J tfthr vobUlt and character at business were sufficient to satisfy creditors that a living profit was Wing realised. There is reason to hope that this lar to com plete confidence may be removed by the results of the spring business." Judge Orvi# held court at Bedford, week Wfore last, and the Bedford peo ple and bar were very favorably impress ed with the manner in which ho presid ed npon the Wnch and the legal ability displayed by the Judge. A banquet was gotten up in honor of him Wfore he left.

They keep up a continued grumb ling. Not that they can charge it with Wing corrupt ; not that it is engaged in legislative jobs, not that it has appropri ated the public funds in a manner to W gobbled up by individuals for their jri rate pockets -these radical diseonteuls are not scolding at the democratic House because it has been gtiiltv ofany of these things, as has been the custom of the radicals during the last rift ecu years while in power at Harrisburg.

(IRA XT-( USE Y SQ EAR It I E. Washington, March 9.—The debate on the admission of Piiivhlau k was con tinued by the Senate to-day. Mr. Mor ton continued and finished his remarks in favor of admitting Mr. Pinchback, and Mr. Mcrrimon followel with a statement of the precedent# against the admission of the claimant in this ease. The delvate will go on to-morrow. The friends of Pinckback here are coiitident that he w ill W admitted on a prima facie ease, and claim that they have a major ity of two for him. They assert that Senator Johnson, of Tennessee, w ill W found voting on their side. It is alleged here that Kellogg, Pack ard and Casey are at work to prevent the admission of Piuclihack, Kellogg still having hope# of getting the [dace, and Casey also being hopeful. The White House influence is in favor of the recognition of Kellogg, but not fur ad mission of Pinchback. The latter is us ing his influence at home to annoy and frighten Kellogg, and the whole crowd seem to IK- very much more disorganiz ed than ever before. At present Pinch hack is certainly the strongest politician in Louisiana. THE f,Of 7.V/.4AM QCESTIOX. It is not probable that a vote will be taken on the resolution fur admission of Pinchback until after the result of the arbitration now being held in New York is known. Should the arbitrators agree to the seating of the conservative mem bers of the legislature throw n out by the returning l*ard of Louisiana. It is said { the republican senators w ill turn in and vote for seating Pinehhack. The seating of the conservatives would of course give the legislature a democra tic majority on joint ballot, and, should Pinchback be rejected, would elect a democratic senator. There are a num ber of republican senators who are al ready on record as against Pinehhack, and the difficulty w ill be to get them to change. THE SOLDIERS- BOI'STY KILL. Washington,^!irvh 9.—The President did not. as has been stated, veto the bill for the equalization of bounties except in withholding his signature. He had. however, prepared the draft of a message in pencil but which was thrown aside by him without being copied for transmis sion to the house, where the bill origina ted. The draft is as follows: House bill No. —is herewith returned without my approval for the reasons : First, tliat it appropriated frotn the treas ury a large sum of money at a time when the revenue is insufficient for the current wants; secondly, I do not believe that any considerable portion of the cx-sol diers, who it is supp>osed will be the ben eficiaries of this appropriation, are ap plicants for it, but rather it would result more in a measure for the relief of the claim agents and middle men. whointer vene or would intervene to collect the bounties granted by it. I-iter returns from New Hainpshire indicate that there is no election ofgov ernor by the people. The democrats elected two of the three Congressmen. The election of governor now devolves upon the legislature, which is republi can and will doubtless elect Cheney the republican candidate. NEW HA MPS IIIREELECTIOS. The latest returns from New Ilamp shire show no republican victory at all, as at first supqiosci!. The democrats elect two of the three congressmen—a gain of one for our piarty. The latest figure- on the House give 101 Republican* and 170 Democrats, with four towns—Clarksville, Krrol, Pitts burg, and Hart's location —to hear from. These are supposed to return five repre sentatives. All but one of them —Pitts- burg, which may be considered doubt ful—elect Democrats. The Senate stands five Republicans to five Democrat#, with no choice in the Second and Fourth. The Council stands three Democrats and two Republicans. On the vote for Governor the candi dates, Cheney and Roberts, ran within 100 of each other, and the votes of each exceed 39,tfKi. The prohibition vote will la? about wOO when all the towns are in.

Mr. Bechlel raid tbat he thought ho *hould explain bi vote, lit- wat in favor of a fair, honest lice:ie law, but not in fa vor of thi* amendment, which would change every local law now cutting in the -talc, lly it* provision* the mar. rr*iding lin a borough or town of >or more lasable* ha* only to pay $l6O. Again, in a conutv of lOu.OOU in habitant* or le* the license would be $l6O. while in one of larger population the li ceti*3 would bo ; a distinction wiib-l out either reaon or juatice. Tbat by sec lion eleven every person before obtaining license would be obliged t-> file a bond with two turelie* in the uui of $3.0U0, conditional for the payment of all penal lie* tbat attach to the conduct of a hotel: keeper ; the object evidently being to pre vent the hotel* iu the rural districts from obtaining any license, as their proprietors could furnish no such unreasonable ami excessive bond, and in this way the buti ness would ho put on the bands of the iarger dealers exclusively, lie alto call ed attention to the absurdity of section seven, providing that any person causing' "the intoxication in whole or in part o: any other person" shall be liable to pay a reasonable compensation to any person who may care aud provide for such intox icated person. Mr l'ayne said he had a duty to per form towards hit cmslitulenu, but a high er duty to discharge in the interest* <>! morality and good government. He fell it hi* duty to vole against repeal, if he was driven to choose between it and the license laws, which are of no effect. It would cost hitu the best friends he had, bit seat in the senate aud bis political preferment, bullet them go. He could leave them but he could not leave hit conscience. Mr. V tikes questioned whether any one would believe that the proposed law was better than the old ones. Law• that the moral sentiment of the people would not enforce in was useless to increase in sever ity. He did not regard these propositions as superior or equal to the act of 1e56. Mr. Newmyer had voted once for local option and once against it. He supposed when tbc lacal option law was passed that | iU provisions were fair and still thought [so. The principle it involved had alreudy : been recognized in tho senate this session 'in the passuge of another law. He should vole for the pending amendment. Mr. Cooper would vote for the amend* incnl to the amendment, as it was offered with a view to give every senator an op portunity to place himself on tbc records lor or against the repeal of local option. It was known that a majority of tho sena tors were in favor of repeal, but if he must fall back be would do so fighting. Mr. Wood wanted the people to under stand that a barrier had been thrown in the way of an honest vole, not by democrat* but republican* ; not because the latter were tcniperenco men, but for purposes of political trickery. They were seeking toi carry water to temperence men and whis-i ky to whisky men. The amendment was lost, the vote be- i nr. liu-Muirt.

A conductor coming south on the Utics and Chenango Valley Railroad one even ing this week was much amused by cn> j countering anew interpretation of thoCivil Hight* bill. A colored man got aboard nt one of the way stations, and in due time was approached by the tickct-puneher with "Your fare, sir.'' "I don't pay no fah, sab," was the prompt reply. J "Why not?," sharply inquired the con- I iluctor. "Kane, sah, don't the Civil Rights bill give culled pussons de right to rido on all do cars, sah? 1 don't pay no fall, sah!" responded the gentleman of color. The conductor labored like a constitu tional lawyer to explain the provision of the bill, arid collect fare, but the passenger had fully made up his mind not to pay, and his faith in his own interpretation of Ins right could not be shaken a particle.! It was only when a movement to put him ..IT was begun that he paid under protest.; He evidently intends to make u test case ofj his grievance.

For tbe Reporter. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. THE WORD OF tiOD. The divinity of tbe Bible i* a matter of very groat moment to all wbo love thi* good book. The writer, therefore, withe* t i adduce a few rational proof* (proof* founded upon reason), that the Uiblecome* from tied and not from man. 1. I allege llie united testimony of the prophet* and AyottUt from tkt brgtnnittg. It i* impoaiihle that *o many peron, liv* itig at different time*— from 16To It C. to '.•J A I * . ihould unite to forge a book and impose on the people. The prophet* wrote before Christ, the Ano-tle* after Cbrul— They could not confer with each other, (h refore, and deceive the people St Pe ter ray* that jut before tbe death of Cbrnt, b and Jamn and John ut 11 im' transfigured before thrm on Mount Tl*or —■aw Hun by i*ht. taw Him who is the medium of ail Kr-velaliun, th Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God. the Everlast ing Father, the Prince of Peace—the Hrigblne** of liii Father*'} glory and the express image of Hit |>eron. and knew, therefore, that there wai mcb a man ai Joui. Some m glil lay. thliiionly a vie* ion, dream or Sable. Yet but prophecy opposes iuelf to this objection. The testi mnny of the propheli for many hundred year* is against this view. They predicted the birth of("hril. precitely the lime and place thereof; and hit reiurreclion—Gen. It 10. It 7lf Mic 6*i P. If 10—and Paul who waa miracuiouily converted cc nfc*cd Jesus to be the Son ofGud. and proved Him to be the very Cbriu Now could men thui agree in preaching false hood ? I don't believe that they could. 1 think liua to be juat ai improbable a* that John, the liaptiit waa metamorphosed in to a tea-borie to baptize the multitudes that came to hie baptiim m the wildernaii of Judea. !i. The fulfillment of prophecy i* alto an tndrntr uf tkt dinnify of tkt HtkU. la. 45:1, mention* the name ol Cyrus, the Ter tian king, beforehand, who waa to con quer Babvlon and deliver tha Jews from their captivity. Thit prophecy waa utter ed TUN Is. (', and fulfilled 6*i2 it C.—Dan. '2 34, dctcribea the great kingdom* of the w..rld which should influence the affair* . f the Jewiih Church, vary minutely, in ihetpiritof prophecy. Healeo Jetcribat the kingdom of Christ, hi* person and of fice in a wonderful manner. Jeremiah predicted that the Jew* *hould be a re nruacb and a proverb, a taunt and a curt* ■ wall placet whither they tbould be tent. Thete propbecie* together with many more that might be quoted, have been ful filled. an 1 moat certainly their fulfillment confirm* the liible. I 111. Tim wonderful preservation of tbe , Holy Scrtpturtt is another proa/ of th rir dttimty. l*crccuUir* have done thesr ut ni"i to destroy the word vlGod, to banish , it from tbc world. In the lime of W. An | tiocus every comer was searched for the purpose of destroying the writings "f the prophet* (tee Jotephut), but In vain. In the time of the apostle* and subsequently for three hundred rear*, the got pel was perscculid with all the malice of bell, r ire and water, sword and bayonet were all employed to accomplish this wicked purpose. Hut in spile ot all apeotiuon, the word of UoJ grew mightily The Ro. r man emperor* trembled .'v .Verii>- turet God ha* manifested Himself in Hi* work* and virtue at a Lord who preserve* 1 tmd rule* all thing* by Ills providence., If (sod has so wisely provided forthebody, and pre ervisl it, furnished food, raiment, health, etc., should he not take care of the ! soul? It will be granlod by the reader,' fhat the soul is immortal that it hat been tormed for an imperishable good, that God it just, etc., can it be, then, that God, would bo caratul for the body and not for [the soul? This can not be ascribed to the! : goodness of God. There must, therefore,! !• something under heaven in which God; hat reacbad the way to happiness for the ! voul. 1 say it mutt be. This revelation I we find in tbe Bible; if not in the Bible,' then there it none in all tbe world—Holy Bible, book divine, precious treasure, thou art mine. The religion of tho Greeks and Komant several thousand years old, is not nt old as tbe writings of Moses, yet well nigh defunct. On the other hand the doc ; trine ef the Holy Bible, chaste and full of supernatural wisdom, bat lasted from the beginning till now-can not be destroyed and it true in every particular pertaining to tha kingdam of Christ V. There is it divina testimony which has a mighty rlavancy, to which atten tion should be directed. I refer to a dinar (•osriffio* of iht mnscitnet that th* Bible it the H'ord of Ood. St John says: He that believath hath tha witness in himself. Who produces this conviction? Answer, the Holy Ghost—Kp 5:8 , Bo filled wlih the Spirit We find this evidence in Christ and all bis sermons They carried con viotion to the heart. lience when Jesus ended his tertuon on tho Mount of Beali tudes, the people were astonished at hit tlocirine, For Helaughlthein atone having authority and not at the scribe* Truth fully did Simon I'etcr say : To whom shall we go, Tlieu alone hast the word* of eler nal life. And no wonder certain officers that wont to arrest Jesus on one occasion said : Never man spake at this man spake. Aptly too did tho disciples say : Did not our heart burn within u*. while be talked to us by th* way. and while he opened to us tha Scripture*—Lk. 2-1:92. Therefore St. Paul lays much stress on salvation (through sanrtificalion of the spirit and be iefofthn truth. 1 The*. 3.13—N0w with tho e(T< ct of all this ponderous testimony upon the mind, how could any man hesi tate to believe in the Bible, Cling to it as the Book of God and rule hit lite ac cording to it* inspired teachings VI. The Ten Commandments are au incontrovertible proof that there is a God, and that the Bible, which is a commentary on these ten commandments, has been given to us by God Himself. None but God could give ut such a pure and holy Isw—lliey are a transcript of the divine mind itself. I know it is -aid that Moses was a cunning fellow, and obtained these commandments from the heathen atound him. To this kind of logic, I reply, that none ot the heathen ever had such a law, and. therefore, it was outof thequostion to to obtain the ten commandment* from this source. And, consequently, as long HI these commandments stand recorded in the word of God, the writer for one'wili he obliged to believe that the Bible is the Ward of Ood.
