The nomination of Judge SH - aftswoon
was "set up" some weeks ago. We un
derstand that our excellent friend, Judge
FIBBER, thought until a very recent pe
riod, that belied a chance of nomination,
but he never had a ghost of a chance,
not because he was not worthy, but be
cause the Buchanan Democracy would
not trust him, and he "wasn't in the
ring."
- Judge BLACK made , two remarks in
Convention about the nominee, which
are worthy of attention. One, that
Judge SHARSWOOD would give pure law;
the other, that he ought to have been
• nominated for the office fifteen years too.
Both remarks are true in the sense in-,
tended. Judge SIIARSWOOD is -fifteen
years too old for the place. His health
is not firm, and his days of vigor and
highest usefulneSs have passed. The
term is for fifteen years ; and he is now
at an age at which he should be leaving
the Bench instead of going on to it.—
Judge WOODWARD declined a re-nomi
nation because he considered himself too
sold to be re-elected. But Judge WOOD
WARD has greater endurance than Judge
SHARSWOODIand givett greater promise
of continuing capacity for labor. The
State is entitled to the services, iu that
great office, of a man in full vigor; and
the Democracy have made a mistake in
presenting,as their candidate a gentleman
so advanced and enfeebled.
Judge gLACK was right in endorsing
Judge SYtAttswooo's law. It is "pure,"
tested by Judge BLACK'S standard. Judge
SHARSWOOD will, undoubtedly, decide
(if he get a chance to decide at all) ques
tions of political law; exactly as Judge
BLACK would. They are types of the
same class of mind. Each believes in the
destructive doctrine of State -Rights.—
Each denied the power of the Government
to put down the Rebellion. Each viewed
with disfavor every step taken by the
Government' to save itself. Each gave
his voice and vote throughout the war,
against the necessary means and meas
ures for sustaining the Nation in its
armed conflict With. rebellibus Traitors . .
And each, to-day, is committed, by the
logic of his position, to niaintain the
doctrines which he espoused before the
war, continued through the war, and
will seek to establish after the war. But
this is precisely what it is bf the highest
importance that the people should guard
against. Rebellion, defeated in the field,'
must not find a sanctuary in the Courts.
The law of the land must not be tortured
to justify or palliate past attempts at
Treason, or open paths by which, in the
future, new eombivations of Traitors may
*advance upon the National Citadel. ' The
results of the war, settled by the clash of
arms, must be 'wrought into our jurispru
deuce, so that all thetuitions of law
may be added to the oblige ns of patri
otism, and doubts may not be raised
again, as in 1861, either as to the duties
of the Citizen or the rights of the Gov
ernment.
To this work, Judge SHARSWOOD is as
little adapted as Judge BLACK ; and yet
this is the special public work to which
Thr Courts • should apply themselves. In
is interest we hesitate not to say, they
should be organized. OF Supreme
Court could not bear tile misfortune of
time-election of Judge •WooOvaito.—
Asltffe can it endure the election of
Judge9Hanswooo.
Next week, the Republican Convention
will meet to nominate a candidate.—
Many excellent fiames have been sug
gested. We trust they will be fully can
' vassed , „ and a choice made which will
proveacceptable to the people. Above
all, let' it profit hy- the mistake of the
Democracy. Let it nominate a man in
the full vigor of life, and of pronounced
political opinions on the vibil questions
of the day, so that the liberal spirit of the
age may have a fit interpreter In the high
. est Court of our Commonwealth.
JEFFERSON DAVIS is temporarily 80/kurling'

attended a wedding, and was received
with distinction. During the whole
war, Canada was a base for the operations
of Rebel emissaries; and the sympa

Mason, &Odell, and. other traitors are

Mr. Scow was a member of the Legia
lature of Maryland of I§6l, and was
arrestel in September of that year, by
Prier of General MCCLELLAN, and put
in Fort.Matenry. As a memberi,of that
Legielature, in May, 1861, he made a long
written 'report recommending among
other things, that the United States Gov-'
ernm en t "at once recognize the independ
ence of the Confederate States." ;. , The
report was' adopted in the House

bey. June 10, Mr. Scam again voted
for a resolution instructing the Congress
men from Maryland at the July session,
then soon to meet, "to urge and vote for an
immediate recognition of the independ
ence of the Government of the Confed
erate States of America." He' was a
master-spirit in the Secession movement
in Maryland, and avowed as his reason
his distrust of and disgust at all free gov
ernment and his desire to erect in the
South, a stronger form with less infusion
of popular privilege. The election "of a
man with such n record and such princi
ples, to any Office, is a reproach to any
people ; and its endorsement by Demo
cratic papers is only further proof how
deeply they in heart sympathized with
the Rebellion itself, and the prin - ciples
which it sought vainly to establish.
withdrawn
The men who voted for Mr. Scour for
Judge, could as consistently vote for Jeff.
Davis for President. One was not more
thoroughly committed to the principles
and purposes of Secession than the other.
The papers which can rejoice at the one
event are probably preparing to follow the
New York Day Book—a Democratic pa
per of the extreme State Rights school—
into an advocacy of the nomination and
election of the latter as President of the
United States. We extract a recent arti
cle from the Day Book, to show the ten
dency of one branch of Democratic
opinion :
"Jefferson Davis is, perhaps, the best
representative American of this genera
tion. He is an orator, soldier and states
man, with wonderfully clear conceptions
of the American system of government,
firm and indomitable in defence of his
convictions, and certainly no purer man
ever sat in an American Congress, or was
ever connected with American public
affairs. Within the past six years he
has gone through a moral martyrdom
probably never equalled before, and in
deed passed through a physical martyr
dom rarely equall9l in modern time
and yet this man, who has suffered so
deeply in defence ot American freedom,
and all thatis valuable and sacred in her
institutions, is called a rebel, and indicted
for treason; and a considerable portion ot
the people honestly believe that he has
committed great and almost unforgivable
crimes."
THE lowa Democrats have grown tied,
of being beaten 30,000 every year s and:
are casting"about for allies. They' ask all
persons who "believe in the integrity of
the Union and the perpetuity of free
institutions," to go into their primary'
meetings and help elect delegates to their
State Convention of 30th Jane.
If '!le lowa Democrats had always
".believed in the integrity of the Union"
AS sacredly as they should; and had
avowed that belief, the Southern Demo
crats could not have reasonably relied
upon their sympathy and aid in securing
Southern Independence. Yet this reli
ance by Southern Rebels upon the con
nivance
. and encouragement of Northern
Democratic leaders was undoubtedly a
leading motive in stimulating the Rebel.
lions movement. -And of these sympa-
thizing Northern Democratic leaders,
those of lowa were among the most con
spicuous, and the worst.
Nor was this expectation unnatural.—
For when, in January, 1860, Ex-President
PIERCE writing to his old friend, Jeffer
son Davis, said that if bloodshed should
come "the fighting will not be along Ma
son and Dixon's line merely, but within
our own borders, in our own streets,"
and beVFeen the members of the Repub
lican and Democratic parties, Davis
supposed that this meant something, and
acted accordingly. PIERCE'SIure to
redeem his word by organizinga Demo
cratic army in the North to fight the
Union army in the rear while his friend
Davis attacked it in front, is proof rather
of his cowardice than his patriotism.
But the lowa Democrats prate now of
their belief in the "perpetuity of free
institutions." It would have been better
if they had shOwn this by their works,
when "free institutions"-were imperiled
by the Slaveholders' Rebellion as they
never will be again on this Continent, or
probably on any other. The man whose
mouth then refused to utter a word, or
whose hand refused to give a blow, for
"free institutions," is forever estopped
from professing any devotion to either.
Such professions, frOm such a source,
"savor strongly of hypocrisy, and will be
detected and detested by an intelligent
people, whose confidence was deliberately
betrayed, and whose dearest interests
were shamefully abandoned.
SENATOR Wilson, returning from his
tour through,the South, has written to
the N. E Indeiiendent, that there are
now more than six hundred thousand
(600,000) Republican voters in the Rebel
States, and thai before November next,
there will be more than three-quarters of
a Million.
This show of force in the South, should
relieve the minds of those Democrats
who have been so grievouily troubled,
these many years, over the alleged sec
tionalism of the Republican Party. It
alwaysi was.as National in its principles,
as all must admit it now to be in its or
ganization. Since Free Speech has been
permitted in the South, Republicanism
has greatly'grown. When muzzles were
upon every body there, it had a sickly
life. On the other hand, if the Demo
cratic Party should go into a minority in
its old stronghold, the Southern States,
it will not only cease to be a power in
the country, - but will hardly rise to the
dignity *of a shadow. Thus, old and
worn-out things pass away.

plete statement of the direct contributions
our State made to the armies of thti Union,
under all the calls. It gives die regi
mental and company organization of the
entire force, viz: Use three-months' men,
the three years' men, the six months'
men, the 'Emergency" men, the "one
hundred days' men," the Militia of 1868
mustered into State service (90 days' Mili
tia), and the Militia of 1862 not mustered,
with the various independent Companies
organized under these various calls.
The State gave 360,000 men to the ar
my, who were massed in 210 regiment
al organizations besides numerous unat
tached and independent Companies of
the various arms of service. Of this en
ormous free, full record has been made,
and this volume will remain a monument
at once of the patriotism of our people,
and of the ability, care and skill of those 1
who were charged with the supervision
of our military system.
Under the Volunteer Militia Act of
Muy 4, 1864, thirteen Companies have
been organized: five in Philadelphia;
four in Schuylkill ; two in York ; one in
Luzerne; one in Columbia. The feeble
ness of the response to the provisions of
the law, proves its want of adaptation
to the needs of the'country.
Tiii; York Republican justly complains
of two acts of the last Legislature, which
our political friends should not have per
mitted. Newberry township is one of
the strongest and steadiest Republican
districts in York county. Th h the
Democratic- Senator and RepresTntatives
from that county and for partizan pur
poses, a bill was put through the Legisla
ture providing that, in Newberry town
ship, the two supervisors shall be elected
as Inspectors of Elections are chosen—
thus securing one Democrat in the board.
In no other township in the State, is
there such a provision of law. But New
berry must be punished !
Lewisberry borough is another Repub
lican district. Through the same
.agen
cies and for like purposes, a bill was pass
ed setting aside the municipal authorities
iu the matter of levying the bounty tax,
and appointing au irresponsible board of
persons who are required to give no se
curity, and to whom this power was com
mitted. The reason is, that certain par
ties wanted to handle the mokey them
selves, and they have got it !
The practice prevalent at Harrisburg
of leaving the absolute control of all local
legislation with the Senators and Repre
sentatives from the particular counties,
whilst it secures to those gentlemen
poWer to do as they please with the inter
ests of their constituents and thus mini
sters to their sense of dignity and some
times increases their perquisites, is an
injustice, and, as far as it goes, thwarts
the very deliberation and examination
for which a General Assembly is organ
ized. In this case, our Republican ma
jority in the Legislature, have allowed
themselves to be made the means of en
acting insulting and injurious measures,
intended to annoy and oppress our own
political friends, and have consented to a
petty tyranny which only a violent par
tizanship could have conceived, and an
unmanly and unscrupulous one could
have pressed to enactment.
We would like to hear that the prao
tice referred to, which is a recent innova
tion, was' abandoned ; and that Senators
and Representatives would once more
consider it a right and duty to examine
measures of local legislation, instead of
blindly following the bidding of persons
locally interested against the general
equity.
THE Democratic Convention have put
Judge SHARSWOOD upon a platform
which precisely suits him. It breathes
the same spirit of hostility to every thing
done towards the Rebels, which was
breathed by the same men in 1860, '6l,
'62, '63, '64, '65, and '66. The people of
the State were not frightened from their
stern purpose then, of doing their duty,
and they will not be now. The resolu
tion denunciatory of the "Radical minor
ity in Congress," is in its points a repeti
tion of President JoHNsow's Veto Mes
sages, and especially of that on the Mili
tary Reconstruction bill ; and both ex
press the holy horror of Judge Black
that the people of the country would
neither agree to let the Rebels break up
the Government in 1860, nor let them
come back and "run it" in 1867, without
giving guaranties for the future.
Upon persons who believe the nonsense
of these resolutions, all argument is
thrown away ; for the reason that they
won't admit there has been a war legally
waged by the Government, or that the
Government has gained any rights by
having become the Victors. In their
view the war was illegal and the victory
ought not to have been won ; and of
course the Rebels ought not to be treated
as if they had , been whipped. Such
lunacy must, necessarily, have its course.
All we can do is to pity the poor subjects
of it.
MR Rebels in Louisiana have a sum
mary way, of getting rid of "Radical" can
didates for Congress. They shoot them.
A few days ago, in Natchitoches parish,
C. W. Stauffer, a leading Republican pol
itician,and a prospective candidate for
Congress, i was killed by being shot by
one of two brothers named Jones who
wished to:be rid of him. The murderer
was thoughtful enough, after having flied
the fatal shot, to ride around the house
and tell Stauffer's wife that her husband
was dead. Afterwards, the Sheriff, dn
trying to' arrest the Joneses, was shot 'in
the head and an assistant in the arm.—
Both were severely injured._
A COLONEL in the Union army was

rights of r citizenship, Conventions 'are

We can't understand why they should
wish to do what they were willing to tight
to prevent the Rebels from doing. But
the Democratic Convention says It has
been done, and that the Constitution, the
Union, and Republican government are
cken gone foreverl—all because Congress
said to the beaten Rebels yob can't come
back and help govern the United States
against which you have been warriinc,
until you give some security for your
good behavior in the future.
This, the Democracy say, you have no
right to do. The" Radicals" reply, "we
.

DONE rr ; the South is re-constructing un
der it ; and soon all the States will be
back in thelr.old places with every stain
of slavery 'wiped out, and trul X loyal to
the nation.
This is the Reconstruction hich the
Democracy pronouncelo-be d Unction.
The explanation is, it's our way of doing
the thing not theirs. It is a good wayj
and the people willing, we intend to havci
it, in order that the results of all this blood;
shed and debt shall not be wasted, that
our children al& children's children
may gain protecti6u from the bulwark
which are being erected, and that the,
horrid front of Rebellion may never again
be raised in the great American Republic.
ONE thing Is clear. The Pennsylvania
Democracy are opposed to Impartial Suf
frage. They have not yet advanced as
far as the New York and Michigan Demo
crats who la ve determined, (as an
nounced by Democratic newspapers) to
agree to incorporate Impartial Suffrage
in the new Constitutions of those States
now being framed. In Maryland, the
Democrats would agree to the same thing,
if they did not fear they would get but
few of the colored yote and would there=
by lose control of the State. In all the
lately Rebellious States, the politicians
of all parties with hardly an exception,
accept that policy as the only, and the
quickest way to get rid, forever, of the
Negro Question which has plagued our
politics these many years. In New Jer
sey, even, the Democrats hesitate to take
ground against this return tope princi
ples and practices of our Revolutionary
Fathers who proclaimed their views in
the Declaration of Independence. But
the Democracy of Pennsylvania will
learn nothing, concede nothing, and con
sent to nothing. It will persist in but
ting itself up against the inevitable and
onward progress of the age. And If it
lose the little left of its brains, and its
very life, it must name only its own
blind obstinacy and folly.
THE question; "what is a white per
son," is receiving judicial interpretation
In a recent case decided in Kansas,
Judge Beaver of the District Court held
that where colored blood preponderated,
the person was to be treated as belonging
to the negro race ; where white blood
preponderated, the - person was to be
treated as belonging to the white race.—
The case will go to the Supreme Court of
the State. In Ohio, the same rule has long
prevailed. In Michigan, by a recent de
cision, a person was held to belong 'to
the white race unless he was two-thirds
African.
IT was ungrateful in Messrs. BUCKA
LEW, and RANDALL, and BOER, and
all the Democratic worthies who have
had the run of the White House for the
last year, and obtained for their friends
numberless nominations and 'appoint
ments, not to give President JonNsort
the compliment of even a passing. notice
in the Harrisburg resolutions. Have the
Democrats concluded that the PRESIDENT
is too heavy a load ; or that, having got
out of him all that is worth getting, he
Isn't worth the trouble of carrying ?
Last year, they "did better."
IT is consoling to lLow from the sec
ond of the Democratic resolutions at Har
risburg, that they consider the Union of
the States perpetual. From the course
many of the Delegates to that Convention
took during the war, we did not suppose
they believed in the Union, or that it
ought to be perpetual.
Duruxo and since the war, Corc,oran's Build

Washington City, was occupied by the Gov
ernment as a medical museum, where dis
sections were of frequent occurrence. The
building had been used for this purpose until
nine months ago, when the museum was re
moved to Ford's Tbeatre. Last week circum
stances led to the examination of the lot ad
joining the ftrst-named premises, when there
were discovered a large number of hogsheads,
which had been sunk in the ground, filled with
the remains of human bodies left by the stu
dents. The hogsheads were ordered to be re
moved, and, the cavities filled with lime and
other powerful disinfectants. , Since the dis
covery of these deposits medical gentlemen at
tribute the unusual unhealthiness and sickness
in that vicinity to the presence of these pits of
putrifying substances.

for the Pope reached. the sum of $80,3439.63
of which $39,2.30.1r.: were contributed by
Churches in Philadelphia, and $21,138.71 by
Country Churches.
CONCRETE PAVEMENT.—Mr. George
Roth of Chambersturg, last week put down.
a Concrete pavement in front of the resi•
dente of Perry J. Tate. A heavy rain came
on immediately "Ilrer it was finished, but
made no impression uptirrit. The job ap
pears to be very well executed, and it is
claimed that it is cheaper and more durable
than brick.
PROPOSED TURNPIKE.—A movement
is on foot, we are glad to see, to construct a
turnpike from Mechanichburg, Cumberland
county, via Dillsburg, York county, to York
Springs, Adams county. Subscription books
were opened last week at the first named
place. This road will go through a very fer
tile region, and will be a great benefit to the
towns named.
Arr - The German Turners had a grand fes
tival at Baltimore ou Monday of last week.
The large assemblage on this occasion was
addressed by several German speakers,
among wuom was Dr. Pfeiffer, of New Ox
ford, who iOl said to be the founder of the
Turners in the United States, and who was
an object of particular attention during the
day.

LECTURE.—We are requested to state
that a Lecture will be delivered by by Rev.
B. Villiger, (Super* at Conowagu Chapel,)
in the Catholic Church, Gettysburg, on Mon
day evening next, June 24th. Subject, Cho
Existence of God." The proceeds are to be
devoted to repairs on St. Ignatius Church, in
Buchanan Valley. This Lecture is spoken
of as very able, and should, attract a full
house. The Gettysburg Cornet Band has
been engaged for the occasion. Price of
tickets, 50 cents—to be had at Be-hick's and
Martin's Stores. Lecture to commence at 8
o'clock.
THIEVING.—The Eastern End of our
County, and the neighborhood of HanoVer,
appear to be infested with thieves. At the
residence of Mr. Jacob Stambaugh, near
Abbottstown, an attempt was recently made
to job, which was foiled by the courage of a
young la 4; but since then his corn cribs,
and those of several of his neighbors have
been broken int The Hanover Citizen of
last week states tht. on Tuesday the 11th, the
house of Mr. Abrtam Herr, a farmer living
a short distance from Hanover, was robbed
by some scoundrfils wiLst all the occupants of
the house were the corn-field working.—
They had locks • the house carefully, and
closed the shutte IWhe ey returned at
noon, they observ:. of the shutters and
windows and all the doers open, and on en
tering found the whole house ransacked, ev
ery drawer and every box and cheat having
been opened, the thieves evidently feeling
secure and in no danger of being disturbed.
The scoundrels were also very choicy, only
taking with them the very best. •So far Mrs.
H. has missed a brown silk dress, a black
cloth coat and a lot of fine shirts of her hus
band's, a breast pin and ear rings, and all
her silver and other spoons, her pocket book
containing about five dollars, a number of
sheets and table cloths. Immediate search
was made to ferret out the the thieves, but
up to this time no 'clue of them has been.
found.
MILITARY PROFMSORSHIPS FOR
OUR COLLEGES.The proposition made
by the War Departmentfor establishing mil
itary professorships in our leading colleges,
will doubtleis meet the approval of the great
majority of educators. It is clearly apparent
that much more attention will be given to
the art of war in the future In this country
than ever before. Henceforward our youth
will be desirousofknowing something about
tactics. But few of them can gain admit
tance to West Point. Neither is it desirable
to establish additional experudveinatitutioius
of this character. In view, of thee, facts the
plan of:combining the military with the' col
le&te, has been proposed. It could be car
ried out at a comparatively small wet to the
Government, and such a scheme would not
only extend to many the advantages now
enjoyed by few, but would tarnish to the
service able, that-sdass ofticeis. Further
s:ll6re a system of drills would prove ofgreat
value to 5 - all undergraduates. It would be
very desirable to oaake the exudes compul
sory, to compel all Freshmen, Sophorsoses,
Juniors and Seniors alike to drill Rsur, five
or six hours every week. Were such a
°purse Ibllowed, the number of yoang men:
who graduate with impaired . ecannitutiona
or iikdolent habits would rapidly diminish,
and Q141:0006 esS , micutHans would cease to
take all the vim, snap-and push out of those
who pursue it. The plan proposed by the
War Department is for the Government to
assign one or two competent ofiksktintea in.
atructera to each of the leading colleges.—.

The Soldiers' Memorial Church Alesmilk
tion respectfully requests your . attention to
the design of 'erecting it Gettysburg a
Church granite at once cnnunemerative
of the high moral element in the Anierican
contest and the heroic men who gave their
llyst for the defence of the Republic. The
walls of the eillice Will be composed of me
morial blkis of gnmite. These blocks on*
their extrsurface, will contain the names
of the heroic dead with such additional facts
as the friends of the deceased may wish to
have inscribed. There will be spate enough
for some 1500 blocks of ample size and elig
ible position for obituary purposes. **",
The commemorative character of the
Church will be still Anther maintained in
its interior arrangement. by the introduction
of obituary tablets of marble. These will
be impannelled at different points sti;und .
the audience chamber, as mirrors in par
lor, and are intended to be among the 'to- art
elegant and appropriate testimonials
the living can confer upon the dead. The
Windows are also designed to be memorial
—the principal window in front to be espe
cially tine. '
The style oC architecture chosen is the or
rune gothic, and the building will be of such
solidity' as to dralure for ages, so that centu
ries hence pilgrims may visit the sacred
shrine, and trace names and deeds that are
immortal.
To give crompleteneas to this patriotic de
sign, the name of the grata emancipator, the
martyred Lincoln, will be conspicuously
"graven in the rock."
- A lurid to complete this monumental
shrine cannot be less than $50,000. To rea-`
line this sum all honorable expedients will
be availed of. No inconsiderable amount
will be secured, it is confidently hoped, by
the sale of the above mentioned memorial
blocks, tablets and windows. To this point
the attention of the friends of deceased sol
diers is particularly invited. Expensive
private monuments, to which affection so
strongly prompts. (beautiful and praise
worthy as they are) do not comport with the
full measure of a soldier's fame. They come
of necessity under very limited observation.
They are liable to dilapidationand decay,
and the painful evidence is continbilly felt
that no place of ordinary sepulture is per
manently secure. Surviving friends will
thereforedionor themselves, and do) justice
to merited renown by placing the hallowed
record of the dead where vast multitudes
may read it, where it is comparatively safe
from the accidents of time, and where
through the future of the Republic it may
inspire young and old with the exalted pa
triotism and priceless worth it commeme-.
rates.
Architectural drawings exhibiting very
fully the several parts and views of the Ale
morial Church will be prepared at a very
early day. Connected wits these will be the
cost for the different modes of oommemora
tion. Subscribers may by these aids be
guided in the selection of space and position
for obituary inscription.
Comrades-in-arms, survivors of the per
ilous strife, who stand honorably related to
some branch of the great national twiny are
also invited to consider the manifest propri
ety of thus commemorating collectively the
nobly fallen in their respective commands.
An army corps, a brigade, a regiment, a
company even, may in this way unite in in
scribing on granite or marble, some just
tribute to those whose sacrifice attests the
honorable part it bore in working out the
national safety. There are in the States
numerous dubs, leagues, associations form
ed under military auspices, fostering the
esprit de corps, by which a movement for
such general commemoration could be easily
and effectively undertezen.
Membership in the Soldiers' Memorial
Church ,Association is simply conditioned
on the payinent of Five dollars or more to
the general building fund. A record of all
such contributions will be placed among the
archives of the Church.
The Soldiers' Memorial Church shall be
forever free to all worshippers. To secure
needful care and protection and regular
ministerial service, title must vest in some
religious body, and as the enterprise origi
nated in the M. E. Church, which gave to
the national defence 100,000 men, it will be
placed under that denominational control.
All letters relating to this subject may be
addressed to the Corresponding Secretary of
this Association, Williamsport, Pa.
