COXKI.IXC BEARD PROM,
The Pittsburg Post My, Senator
Conkling, of Now York, in pre -online to
the Senate on 3rd, a petition from 1, l
ing business men, bankers, nnuiufar utr
crs and ship owners of the nw'trop.lvs,
in favor of the ainiealile settlement of
the Presidential contest made n l-rivt
und pointed declaration ofhi* own \ iew -
It hardly leaves a doubt but that the
New York Senator in the iuipending
parliamentary contest will be found on
the side of the Constitution, and honest
dealing, and against the assumption of
arbitrary and unconstitutional powoi
bv the President of the Senate. Parti* >
may and w ill contend in our .-.v-rem. ! >
says, hut when the eor.te-t has I een *
mitted to the ballot-box, "the only duly
"the only law ful proceeding which re
"mains is, to find the honest and true re
"suit to declare it, low to it, and stand
by it." lie added, with special emphasis,
that this duty "rests on the two lo uses
of Congress"-—not, we logically infer, on
aw oflicer selected by one house. Senator
Conkling seems hopeful of an auspieo i>
result for the very sound reasons that
"interest and expediency, not less than
"patriotism and honor point in one di
rection and teach one lesson: w(never
"stands on the right and truth w ill not
"fall, whoever stands on wrong and fals#-
"hood will be over-throw n."
This is the tirst bold and roanlv de
mand for honesty audadherence to the
Constitution in determining the electo
ral eonnt, that has fallen from llepohli
ean senator or Representative. Now
that the ice haa been broken. Senator
Conkling will find many follower* freni
h.s own party. Ho# petty and shrivel
od, in comparison with Coukhng's dec
larations. appear the narrow and jaun
diced statements,so full ot par: z-iii bit
terness and sectional bate, President
Grant has lately been giving to the
American jwople. *
FLORIDA.
The supreme court brings the rascally
returning board back to its legitimate
work, having twice failed to do it a- the
law requires. Information has been re
ceived at Washington that the supreme
court of Florida will render an addition
al decision requiring the returning
b arel to make a return of all the e un
ties. Iftiiis is done it will give l iiden
ninety-four majority.
A Washington despatch announces a
kink in the Florida muddle, and a
k uty question for lawyers to try their
I rain on. By the chaxtge in the st..te ad
ministration in Florida the returning
board went out of existence on 2nd inst.
By very singular manipulations of the
returns they counted the democratic
state candidates in. but gave the electo
ral vote to Hayes. This done tiiev pass
ed out of official existence. The ques
tion is now raised whether the supreme
court of the state has the right to order
the democratic state officers who f rm,
under the kw of Florida, the pre cut
a:ul new returning board to re canvass
the electoral vote. On this |>oint law
yers are uncertain. If the court has no
such right then of course, so far as state
a "ion is concerned, the state's vote
stands for Ifaycs. The question isa very
interesting one, and may become cf im
portance.
The supreme court consists of three
judges, all sound lawyers, and belived to
be g-xsl men. Two arc republicans and
one of democratic antecedents.
The democrats of Florida who were
o :ntcd out of the governshipand other
state officers including legislature by
the rascals of the returning board, all
obtained the offices to which the people
fairly i'them tlir- ugh :.n • r.': r f
the -npreme court which resulted in a
recount. Mr. TildenV. electors w ere also
cheated out of their certificates by the
.-ame scamps, and he should have the
vote of Florida.
Mr. Tuten, of the Bellefonte Republi
can, gives notice that application w ill be
made to the nest legislature for a law
"to regulate and control the legal adver
tising and county printing in tlicconnty
of Centre." Wo are left in the dark as
to the "how"' in this matter. That there
is room for good regulation in this mat
ter is true, as there has been considera
ble looseness about not to sav gross in
justice. Whether Mr. Tuten 'a regula
tion is to be a selfish one or a more in
favor of justice and needed reform is
what we want to learn before seconding,
his move. If it is a move that w ill cut
out the possibility of petiv spite work
and to prevent monopoly and that will
better serve the larger |ortion of the
tax payers ©four county, then we favor
his movement, as there is reform need
ed in this matter of the county print
ing.
The last of hope of the Grant-Cameron
gang to/erry Hayes across the presiden
tial stream has about failed.
In reply to the statement that he co
incides with Grant and favors a new
election, Mr. Hewitt on Thursday said to
an interviewer:
"The statement is not true. I believe
most honestly and most tirndy that Gov
ernor Tilden has been elected. I be
lieve that these two houses will some
how work it out to that result. I did
say. Ido say this: liathc-r than have a
civil war I should prefer a new election.
I prefer ballots to bullets."
A special savs that Mr. Hewitt's words
voice the sentiments of a large majority
of Tilden'* supporters in Congress. They
believe Tilden has been elected and be
lieve Congress will so decide. They
say: "Better a fight than the lossofoor
form of government, bnt better a new
election than a fight." The eonspiru
tors may force a new election by declar
ing that or a fight to he the only alter
native.
The Presbytery of Newark, X. J., by a
vote of 17 to 12, found the Itev. Mr. Lee
guilty of violating the Scriptures by al
lowing women to preach in his pulpit.
The w isdom of Gen. Grant's course in
keeping his mouth shut for so many
years has never been so apparent as
since lie began to talk.
The Supreme Court of Massachusetts
has sustained the Lower Court in its de
cision that Israelites must he held
amenable to the laws of that State regu
lating the observance of the Sabbath.
The case grew out of an attempt to keep
stores open on that day.
On New Year's eve there was a
heavy suow lull in the Gulf .-tales.
iSvol'eet of snow fell at Holly Springs,
Mississippi; fourteen inches at Jack
son and Vicksburg; u foot at Khrevc
port and Monroe, Louisiana, and four
inches at Osyka, delaying trains and
breaking telegraph wires and in
terrupting communication.

THE SE.XA TE.
Washington, January -I. —This b> ly
met at the usual hour.
SENATOR OOXKUSU'S SRSE* IT.
Mr. Conkling presented the p, titioa vf
bankers, merchants and other busiucs*
men of New York city in f.iT'.r of an
amicable settlement of the Presidential
contest. In presenting the petition Ite
said: I have been requested to present
a jH-tilii>n weighty by reason of the sut>-
ject to which it relates, and t y rea.- naN
so of tlie numlier and chara. ier of those
who sign it. The petitioners citi
zens of New York distinguished not only
for their prominence as members of J
ciety but for the largo and varied inter
est* they represent. They are men
prominent in each of the great political
parties of the country, i observe among
the signatures names which at the re
cent Presidential election wore found on
op|Kising electoral tickets, i observe the
names of eminent bankers, merchants,
manufacturers, shipowners, scholars,
professional men and other names long
and honorably associated with leading
enterprises and industries. It would he
difficult to select in any State of tht
I niou one hundred and fifty indivi inab
and firms who represent a greater sum
of property, intelligence and character,
or who as petitioners de-crve more con
sideration. In laying this petition lie
fore the Senate, it may not he ami.-* to
add an avowal of my sympathy with its
appeal for orderly, lawful and patri *
action. In executing the Constitution
in any instance and especially in an in
stance so grave as those referred to. par
tisan feeling as a guide and rule of ac
tion can rightfully have no place. Obedi
ence to law, observance of the Constitu
tion and maintenance of the truth i
not a party question or proceeding. It !
is beyond party and above party. Par
ties may contend, and I believe it i
wholesome in a free government, that
parties should contend over measure*
and candidates, but when the contest
ha* been submitted to the ballot-box, j
the final arbitrament of popular contest.-
the instrument known in our system the
only duty, the only lew ful proceeding'
connected with it which remains, is to j
find the honest and true result, to de- j
i dare it, bow to it and stand by it. That
is the duty of th hour. It n*t* | *
the two Houses of Congress. It re ts on
the nation. It rest* on every citizen of
the republic. That it will be done and
done peacefully, decently and in order,
these politicians do not, 1 think, disbe
lieve. They, in common with all men,
may derive confidence from the fact that
interest and expediency, not less than
patriotism and honor, point in one di
rection and teach one 1 on. Who* vcr
-lands on the right and truth will not
fall. Whoever attempt* to stand on
wrong and falsehood will he over
thrown.

W.i: hington, Jan. 2.—There is to he a 1

' minting the Electoral Votes to-morrow .
Several Ih-mocralic member# of the 1
committee have expressed their willing-].
iu-ss to accept the propositions contain .

section proposcil would apply especially

from one State arc received ry the Pre-i (
dent of the Senate, if one House should j
agree to receive one set of electoral votes (
on! the other House the other, as might .
be the case with the Oregon electoral

two Houses, the question of adtni *i-](
liilitv being put first as to one return 1
ami then as to tho other, the re.-ult being
determined lv a majority of the mem- 11

that the proper and only rule upon .
which the two House* should act is, that ,
where* there is only one electoral vote or
one set of electoral votes, the authentici
ty of u liich is doubted. th concurrence:'
of both Houses should he necessary t-|

should be a concurrence of the two ,
Houses as to which one shall lie reject-]'

has been kn -urn for rome time that an
engagement of marriage exi.-tcd lie

But, tionigh it ha- bet u whispered for

eitlu-r had le n or soon would he hro
k< n otr.it w;.- -o obviously improbabii
lln.t any man would wilfully draw
public tutciition t • the |iersonal afiairs
of a young lady by a street encounter,
that serin more becoming cause for
tin.- (iifiicuitv bad to be supposed; and
upon inquiry among the friends of the
father of Mr J/ay, Dr. William May
ofXo. 14 West Nineteenth street, our
reporters wi re informed that on Tues
day night Mr. Bennett called .at the
house and had a most unpieascnt al
tercation with I>r. J/ay, in tho course
of which he us> d language which J/r.
Frederick J/ay,on hearing of it yes
terday morning, felt hound to resent,
as ho did.
Dr. William J/ay is a brother of
Col .(diaries J/ay, a lieroo of the J/ex
ican war. who married a J/iss Baw, of
tliis city, resided here long nt tho AVw
York Hotel, and died here as Super
intendent the Figlitli Avenue Rail

Oelrielis of this city. The family are
Bnltinioreans by origin,and arc well
nud widely connected. One of Dr.

Mr. Frederick J/ay, the nssailanl
in yesterday's encounter, is about
twenty-four years old, ami is connect

Tlic reputation It has attained, in
consequence of the marvellous cures It
haa produced during the last half cen
tury, is a sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize
the happiest results that can be desired.
In almost every section of country
there are persons, publicly known, who
have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs,
by its use. All who have tried It ac
knowledge its superiority; and where
its virtues arc knowu, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to re
lieve the distress and suffering peculiar
to pulmonary affections. CUKRRY PEC
TORAL always affords instant relief, and
performs rapid cures of the milder va
rieties of bronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases of the
lungs.
As a safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which besht
the Throat ad Chest of Childhood, it
Is invaluable; tbr, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to
health.
This medicine gains friends at
every trial, as the cures It Is constantly
producing arc too remarkable to be
forgotten. No family should be with
out it, aud those who have once used
It never will.
Emiuent Physicians throughout the
country prescribe it, and Clergymen
often recommend It from their knowl
edge of its effects.
