H wo have it that the President nominated Levi P I.uekcy, who was implicated with bib cock in the Whiskey conspiracy, to la- Sec re tary of Utah Territory. Just like Grant after pardoning the whisky thieves, he rewards them with new appointments, to go on and steal again. The local opt ion is t* are stirring and intend to revive the local option cause. The executive committee met at li.irtis burg on t>. Reaolutiona were adopted to employ four lecturers, who* duty it shall be to work up tbe local option interests, and to have power to appoint commits tees for that purpose in every county in the State, circulating petitions among the people for the re-enactment of the local option law during the present fis sion ofthe U-gislature. The ministers of the State are invited to co-operate in this movement by preaching to their people on the subject of temperance and local option on tbe last Sabbath of Jau uarv. IS?7. The I-ouiaiana legislature has taken the premium for electing the meet sour vv of all politicians. Kellogg, to the I S. senate. South Carolina is disgraced by her John J. Patterson in the senate. Alabama by her Spencer, but in Kellogg not only Louisiana, but tbe senate and the nation would be insulted and dis graced. We' hardly tliink this scamp will lie allowed to take his seat in that bodv. Grant means to be sham unto the end. He has just appointed brother-in-law Alexander Sharp as paymaster in the artnv. Senator Wallace delivered an able speech in the senate, a few days ago, upon the presidential muddle. A synopsis will be found in this week t- Reporter. When lV>n Cameron was appointed Sec'y of War, Mr. Blaine was asked what he thought of it. His reply was that, "It was the most rascally appoint ment of this rascally administration." Another crooked whisky man has been pardoned out of the penitentiary by president Grant. John Henderson is the lucky man. Grant has proven to the crooked whisky gang as a friend who stieketh closer than a brother. These fellows stole aland 100 million dollars of the revenues in the south west, and they are nearly all pardoned now. LEGISLATIVE. A bill introduced in the senate by Mr. llolben, supplement to the act to exempt property to the Value of S9OO from levy and sale on execution aud distress for rvut, approved April 9, 1849, and the supplements thereto for the purpose of preventing the unfair and fraudulent procurement of the waiver of the bene fit of said acts.

A Baltimore paper, in which city the May family has many near relatives, in discoursing of the Bennet-May scandal, furnishes an item which brings in the was-to-be Maniy-in lawof BenncL The paper says it is learned from intimate friends of the family that a quarrel be tween Mrs. May and Mr. Bennett in re gard to the bride's dress and some de tails of the wedding was only the occa sion and not the cause ofthe castigation of the young millionaire. Mrs. May de sired her daughter to be married in a wedding dress, and Mr. Bennett insist ed on a travelling costume. Mrs. May said it was usual to leave such details to the bride's mother, and Mr. Bennett in his wrath declared that things should be as he wanted them, and he was going to be married privately and would not have any of the May family present anyhow, and more to that effect. .Some insulting remarks followed. This hap pened the day preceding the encounter between Bennett and Fred. May. The real cause of the many postponements of the wedding, and the motive animus iu the latest proceeding, is said to* be something not yet disclosed and of a delicate nature. The latest political may be summed up from the following items: The senate Committee on counting the electoral vote are said to ngree unanimously, that the question shall not be left to any outside tribunal and that no State can be thrown out unless both Houses concur. The important question vet remains unsettled. Mr. C'rapo a Republican Representa tive one of the sub-Committee on Lotiis iana affairs, says since his examination of the intimidation business, that no honest Returning Board could have se cured a majority for Hayes. Gov. Palmer was on 12 unanimously nominated for the United States Senate by the Democrats of the Illinois legis lature. We arc not advised whether he will be supported by the Independents, who hold the balance of power. According to the theory of the resolu tions adopted by the Pennsylvania Sen ate, Cronin's Oregon vote would couut one for Tilden. The Chronicle special from Washing ton last evening, savs the Oregon busi ness has become weary and unsatisfac tory. It don't pan out well for Morton &Co. The New York Herald special has further information. It says: The Senate Committee which is in vestigating the Oregon case is coming lo the melaucholly conclusion that there has been no bribery, no corrupt use of money, and that the hopes they at one time entertained of fixing upon the Na tional Democratic Committee, or upon some of Mr. Tildcn's personal friends, complicity in the misuse of money, aie doomed to disappointment. Tilden being fairly elected—of which even Grant, Chandler and other conspi rators are convinced—we have permit ted our rooster to go back to his coop. Ilayep is said to be so angry because we kept our rooster out so long watching his fellows who tried to steal electors. Poor Hayes—he will not be ferried over. Vanderbilt is dead—and it is a fact that he took none of his large fortun with him, neither did he mention the Reporter in his will. Monster democratic meetings were held in Indianapolis and Columbus on Sth of Jan., anniversary ofthe battle of New Orleans, to protest against the at tempt to steal the presidency from Til den, and put in Hayes with the bayo net. The people of Ohio and Indian: streamed out by thousands, and told the conspirators that the fraud would not ** be tolerated. The OtmtroM have cracked their whip and frightened the republican sen ate of this state into the passage of a set of reliellions reaolutiona npon the presi dential question, in which the returning board fraud is endorsed, ami the declara tion made that the electors stolen from Tilden must be counted for llayes and that there can l>e no going behind the certificates by congress to ascertain whether there w as an honest count The resolutions were forced through under the whip and spur and democrat ic senators, like Hill, Pvalo, A crks and others who desired to he heard and ob jected to tiie haste in tire matter, were not allowed to raise their voice in op poeilion. Thus was free speech -titiled that an iniquity might go through tin whipped by ttie tiutb from democratic lips. These resolutions are intended to frighten such conscientious republicwu members of the U. S. Senate, ;u tink ling, blame. Kdmonds, and otliers who do not endorae the fraudulent counting in of Have*, into the trace*, aud aid in putting the rat net ion of t ongres* upon the iniquity. Democrat* will await the report of the southern investigating com mittee*, and will insist upon having the man inaugurated a* presiden', who, the evidence ahowawa# honestly elected, no matter how much the Oameron* and the other revolutionist* rave and tnarl d threat, and bluster in resolutions put through a legislature which they mas ter. In Louisiana things have ag.in got s ha I aspect. The truly sleetoJ government of Nieolb, Democrat, ss getting along finely to the Jslighl of the people .it tha entire state who came to its support, and Graut for tha last two weeks having let! returning board Gov. Packard to his tale nothing was left to him but the t*te house all else, courts, departments and executive have fallen into the hands of Micolls. Pmchback and five other republicans letl the Packard legislature and also join ed the democrats- Grant promised he would iuterfere with neither. Now all of ssilddea he violates his prouioeand sends the usurper Packard word that he will sus tain him, at the moment when his legisla ture was falling to pieces by desertions to the democratic bouse. So Louisiana tray again fall into a muddle, on account of Grants double-dealing A Washington special tothe Baltimore Gazette, of yesterday morning says the regular army cannot be depended upon to carry out the designs of the Hayes conspirators. It has long been known that a large majority of the rank and tile of the artny was in favor Governor lil den's inauguration, but it has never yet been suspected that any battalion, if or dered to execute the commands of the war office, would venture to disobey. On ibis point the special to the Gazette says: .... ~ The indignation of the military at this proposed attempt to use them for politi cal purposes is ready to break out into uiuliny on the least provocation. The soldiers uow stationed at the arsenal, in number about eight liuudred, are large ly Tildeu men, convinced of his houest election, an unwilling to be used as tools. Iu two batteries of artillery, ag gregating over one hundred IUCU, there ire only seven prepared to aa-i>t in counting in Hayes, under the convieliou that he has been the choice of the peo ple. In conversation to-day with uu-u at the arsenal it was believed that they are seriously asking advice from the best legal authorities as to how far they are compelled to go in obeying the or ders of their superiors when they know nek orders to be purely political, and having received satisfactory answers they have determined to quietly take the bull by the horns and throw down their arms if ordered to use Ihcui in the interest of the Hayes usurpa tion. HENRY WARDBKCCHU, says thuTimes, has just received a very chilling cold -boulder from his brethren of the Con gregational cloth. The overt act is the formation of a new association of Con gregational churches, under the name of Manhattan, aud the corner-stone of this organization seems to lie none-fellow ship with the Plvmouth pastor. The cause assigned is the refusal of the old association of New York and Brooklyn to take action in re Tilden va. Beecher. Among the prominent participants in the new movement are such distinguish ed clergymen as L>r. Taylor, of the Broadway Tabernacle; Dr. Storra, of Brooklvn; Dr. Hepworth, of the Church of the Disciples, and Drs. Scudder, Bud ington, Palmer, Oilman and Ward; in deed the roll embraces nearlv all the eminent men of their faith and order in New York and vicinity, except Mr. Beecher and his brother Edward and Lyman Abbott. The constitution im poses upon members thedutv of watch ing over each other in the Lord, "that the ministry be not blamed." The Beecher cause has never received a se verer blow than is thus inflicted. But it is a peculiarity of the Plymouth pas tor that he is never afraid to stand alone. Ex-Senator Trumbull remarked the other day that if the truth about Louis iana ever comes out he beiiev- ■ it will be found that there were more murders, more scourgings, more whippings and more abuse of colored men by their own race for voting the Democratic ticket than of colored persons by whites for voting the Republican ticket. Baron de Verner says, through the grating of a San Francisco cell; "I dis like a country where there is no respect paid to social distinction." He has been swindling. A large number of Mongolian sheep have been purchased by the agents of the Japanese Government to IK- crossed with the superior breeds of England and Germany. Abdul Hamid 11., the present Sultan of Turkey, was born in 1842, and adopt* ed by a childless lady of Abdul Mejid's harem, who made him heir to consid erable wealth which she possessed. I.ike his brother Murad, he led a very jovial life, during his father's career, but his strong constitution enabled him to withstand those excesses which prostra ted his brother and caused his indisposi tion. He accompanied the late Abdul- Axiz on his trip to Europe, and contract ed a taste for French clothes and French customs, many of which he has intro duced to his own household. He has one wife and two children of whom he is very fond, and is generally found poring over maps, military, geological, and statistical. Though bitterly oppos ed to the Young Turkey party, he is no fanatic, and is said to tie well dis[>osed toward the Giaours, always excepting the Greeks, whom he cordially detests. From April last he was kept as c.Hint ing the electoral vote is a quasi judh lal one, and carries with it the right to in quire and decide what arc vote*. Fourth. The power is in the tw. houses, acting concurrently m> independ ent Katies Fifth. Kach house may examine both facta and law, to enable It to determine llieae question* Finn, are the returns of the electoral colleges before them tin trite return#? Second, were the votes therein shown to be cast given by tboae appointed by tke atate to the ollice ot elector of President of tbe United States " and third, firm* tbeappoiutmerit of elees tore made, and were the votes east in accordance with the provisions and guarantee* of the federal constitu tion? Sixth. Tne certificate aud seal of the executive authority of the -tale, made uuderthe act of congress, is prima facie proof of the appointment of an elector by the state. This mode of proof may tie overthrown by the decision of the highest judicial tribunal of the proper state, or of the United States. It may tie contradicted hv evidence of a plain mis take or paljiahle fraud Seventh. When two return# come from a state the two houses, acting con currently, must determine which is the true return. Eighth. No electoral vote can be count ed without the concurrence of both houses. Mr. Wallace saiJ: These propositions eulKHly uiv view of the law. When we settle what the law of this subject is, we have a safe path out of our difficulties. ! We will bow to the law definitely ascer tained. It is our duly to leant this, to ! recognize its power and obey it. The first proposition is self-evident. It needs no proof. The second will not bo dis puted for all admit the federal constitu tion to be the supreme law. The third assert* that the power to couut the vote , is not aiiuisterial, but is quaai-judical, I and carries with it the right to inquire ! and decide what are votes. The tribu ' nal that counts the vote* must judge of 1 the infractions of the constitution. If it i is objected in joint meeting that vote-, were cast for an alien for I'resident, orj for one under thirty-five years of age, or one a non-resident for fourteen years, is there no power to inquire and decide the truth ? Must the votes be counted ? How are the questions to be settled T By debate or by judicial inquiry? Or sup pose the vote cast by a senator or a fed eral judge or unrelieved rebel, is then no power to inquire as to the facts andj to decide? Or if the vote was cast ouj the wrong day or not by Imllot must We j count the vote? Or if a state college votes for citizens of its state, for both offices, cau we not inquire? What is the Oregon inquiry now going on? What are all these inquiries hut the highest exercise of judicial power, the applica tion of constitutional law to a given state of facts? Surely such a power is not merely ministerial. If a state constitu tes its election tribunal so a- to deny the clearrights of citizens of the I'mted States, t-au we not inquire and correct the wrong? If once return be sent by a state, and before it reaches the president of the senate another is substituted, can we not learn the truth and correct it '.' Or if, between the voters and the presi dent of the senate an irresponsible ami unconstitutional tribunal is inter;>o*fd. which denies the rights of citizens of the United .States, or if plain mistake or palpable fraud lie shown, can we not in quire and judge and apply the remedy? If this be so in counting the vote we do not declare but we cancel and nullify it The power to couut is giveu to some tri bunal, and the means to reach that end follow by necessary implication. He argued that this power "is in the two houses of congress aud in the president of the senate. The two houses have local knowledge which he lias not. All the great powers of government are in congress, whilst he has no vote in the body over which he presides. This is a great cower and would be lodged where most likely to be exercised with judg ment and under responsibility. The two houses are equal. They fix the time of choosing electors. Thev are present when the vote is counted. The language does not give the power to the president of the senate. He is not the presiding officer of the joint meeting. The senate is there as a senate. The house is there as a house, equal in dignity. If a presi-! deu} pro teuqaire cau count the vote whose power does lie exercise—his own or that of the senate? If the former then he is greater than his creator. The senate can displace him if he refuses to obey their will. If he Jexerciaes their power then the senate is above its co equal body, the house. Both are pres ent. Both or neither count. Can it be that the same clause which clothes the vice president, an independent otficer, with tiiis power, also clothes a depend ent one therewith? The words "all"i and "then" show that the certificates, must all be opened before counting be gins. Counting is adjudicating. The J president of the senate is the avenue of, communication. When his duty isdonc the duty of the two houses begins. In every instance the senate has originated a resolution asking the house to agree on a committee to count the vote. They have so acted in every casebutone. The seuator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) says the actisnof the returning board is final and binding. It is not so, for it does not provide for a hearing or give a day in court. It takes away judicial scrutiny, and deprives men of their oilices with- I out a hearing. It is anti-American,and violates the federal constitution by de nying a coutest, and refuses the due pro cess of law. A statute is not due pro cess of law. This statute is in direct conflict with the 14th amendment, ami we have the right to revise its adjudica tions to inquire into tiiat fact. Return ing boards are not courts. Their duties are ministerial, or, if quasi-judicial, tlicy must permit an appeal of review by courts of law. There is no safety in our system without this. The law creating the Louisiana returning board violates the provision that "no slate shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the immunities and privileges of citizens of the United Stales," and no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law Fraud and falsehood can )>e investigated in every legal tribunal. That power ex ists in ihe senate and it is our duty to use it. Mr.Sherman, of Ohio, said he had been prepurcd, for some time, to dim-uss this Louisiana case, and he could show, by the clearest testimony of officers of the army, of while men and hluck men, thul the cases of intimidation in Itoaia iana made it the imperative duty of the returning board in tbat statu to reject the votes of certain parishes, lie had delayed in making his argument until the committee of the senate sent to that -tate should return. Tho senator from Pennsylvania (Mr. Wallace) assumed as a fact that the returning board was guilty of n fraud. He (Mr. Sherman) gave notice that to-morrow ho would move to take up the case of Louisiana, and show, by testimony, what the con dition of affairs was in that stutc. Mr. Wallace said he had not gone into the oueetion of fact. He merely replied to the argument of the senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman), delivered several days ago. Mr. Sherman said he had noticed in the newspapers, especially in the Ne v Y'ork papers, allegations as to affairs iu Louisiana which were not so, and he would show the extent ofthe wrong com mitted there. But for the means which Louisiana herself had provided for ex purgating this wrong, the vote of the state should not be counted on either side. Some citizens of Bel Isfonte have secur ed two hundred Black Bass and | put tbem in Spring Creek and Bald Eagle. (10 Y. IIESDR ICE'S SIFSSAOK.

In small doses of one pill a day, they stimulate tho digestive organs anil promote vig orous health. Aran's Pilin have been known fbr more than a quarter of a century, ami have obtained a workl-wide reputation for their virtues. They correct din cased action in the several assimila tive organs of tho body, and are so composed that obstructions within their range can rarely withstand or evade them. Not only do they core the cvery-day complaints of every body, but also formidable and danger ous diseases that have baffled the beet of humau skill. While they produce • powerful effects, they are, at the samo time, the safest and best physic for children. By their aperient action they gripe much less than the common purgatives, and never give pal a when the bowels are not Inflamed. They reafch the vital fountains of the blood, and strengthen the system by freeing It from the elements of weakness. Adapted to all ages and ccmd'tlons In all climates, containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, these Pills maybe taken with safety by anybody. Their sngar-coutinp pre serves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take; while being purely vegetable, no harm con arise from their use In any quantity. nmuD ihr Dr. J. C.
