Piet in Harrisburg ou Tuesday, Hon.
B. B. CHASE, of Susquehanna county,
presiding. Resolutions denouncing the
License System, and urging the duty of
, Temperance mdux,l94ll Ike nowt

Pordar vote. An executive corn
inittee was appointed, with authority
to appoint sub-committees in the differ
ent counties, In order to bring about
concert of action.
Oa Tuesday, in the House, Mr. Rog
ens,lipoi the Judiciary Committee, re
ported a suppliment to the $3OO ex
emption act of 1849, increasing the
exemption to $5OO for married men and
prohibiting a waiver of the exemption.
We hope to see this latter provision,
at least, elltagifid Illto law. The $3OO
exemption aot:ia a itutkpaut provision,
detdped to protect the *nines of im
provident or unfortunate debtors.—
Practically, it is defeated by the giving
of obligations waiving the benefits of
the exemption act. In nine cases out
of ten these obligations are given by
reckless or thriftless men, whose inno
cent families suffer the consequences.
PRESIDENT JOHNSON seems deter
mined before going out a office to
satisfy the world that thegreat mistake
of his life was the deolauttion, when•
the bullet of Booth made him ?not
dent, that Treason was a Crime, and
that: Traitors would have to take a
backseat in Glovernmental affairs.—
Having lqng since recanted this article
of faith, he makes haste to atone for
the mistake by announcing a new one,
to the effect that Treason is not a
Crime,and that Loyal men only should
be pro/seabed. The practical applica
tion of the new faith is found in do
ing honor to the remains of the dear
assassins of President Lincoln, and the
unconditional pardon of their living
confederates in crime.

Commissit,ners, in charge of the An

tut weekto secure an appropriation
from ilse-Le g islature of Pennsylvania,
in 'aid - of that Cemetery. It will be
remernhgred that Gov. Geary, In his
message of 1868, referred to the tact that
the Cemetery in question had been, or
was to be, used as a burial place in
common for loyalists and rebels, and
reoommended that while this system
was continued, Pennsylvania should
withhold any appropriation to that
Cemetery. The Commissioners, in an
interview with Governor Geary, were
politely informed that, while they per-

of the Union dead, and that a locality
had been selected, different and dis

for the aye and' beautifying of which
no snoney appropriated by loyal States,
like Pennsylvania, would be used.

On Saturday, the took up the.
Senate amendment to the joint resolu
tion proposing an amendment •to the
Constitution, and by a vote of 140 yeas
to 33 nays adopted the proposition of
Mr. Bigham, as follows,:
• "The right of citizens of the United
States to vote and hold office shall not be
denied or abridged by any State on account
of race,color, nativity, property, creed, or
previous condition of servitude."
A motion to strike out the words
'and bold office," failed by a vote of 71
yeas to 97 nays.
The Senate having non-concurred in
the House amendment, Messrs. Stew
art, Conkling and Edmunds were ap
pointed on the part of the Senate, and
Messrs. Boutwell, Bingham and Lo
gan, on the part- of the House, as a
Committee of Conference.
The Republican - Senators in caucus
have agreed to postpone the bill re
pealing the Tenure of Office act for the
consideration of the next Congress.
Among the bills which have become
laws by the ten days' limit—the Presi
dent having neither signed' nor disap
proved them within that I,lme, after
their reception from Congress—is one
removipg from office in Virginia, Mrs
sissippi and Texas those persons who
cannot take the oath prescribed by the
Fourteenth Amendment of the Con
stitution.
The President sent in his last veto,
that of the Copper Tariff bill, and both
Houses promptly passed the bill over
his veto by a two thirds vote.
A Bill authorizing the Secretary of
War to take possession of the National
Cemeteries at Gettysburg and Antie
tam.; and also one repealing the act
providing that the General-in-Chief
shall have his headquarters in Wash
ington, and all orders from the Presi
dent must be issued through hThi, have
passed both Houses.
In the House of Representatives on
Wedueilty, Mr. Scheuck's bill to
strengthen the publiecredit,and to lega
lize gold contracts, was passed after
lengthy debate, yeas 119, nay' 61. It
pledges the faith of the United States to
pay In coin or its equivalent all the in
terest bearing obligations, and provides
that any contract hereafter made spe
eitically payable in coin shall be legal
and valid, and may be enforced accord
ing to its terms.
A BILL to regulate the franking
privilege, by proscribing the use of
fac-similestamps, and requiring franks
to be endorsed by persons using them,
has passed both houses of Congress,—
An amendment to abolish the frank
ing privilege altogether failed in the
Senate by only two - votes—yeas 16,
nays 18, The full text of the bill is as
follows :
Be it enacted, Rec., That it ahall not be
lawful for any officer of the Government,
member of Congress, or other person enti
tled by law to the franking privilege, to
exercise said privilege otherwise than by
his or her written autograph signature upon
matter franked, and all letters or other mail
matter not,thuiffranked by the written sig
nature of a person entitled by law to exer
cise said privilege, shall be charged with
the rates of postain which are now or may
hereafter be established by law.
THERE is likely to be a beautiful
"row" between the "Yoling Democra
cy" and the Old Hunker Copperheads
in the next Democratic State Conven
tion. The Old Hunkers are pressing
such men as Judge Packer, of Carbon,
and Gen. Cass, of Allegheny, for *Gov
ernor, while the progressives are de - --r
termined to throw all such ,dead
weights overboard. The react?! ijo
Spectator, for instance,
,gives Judge
Packer the following sock-dolager
"Borne of the papers that worship maim
mon are talking about Asa Packer for Gov
ernOr. Wouldn't it be-better to hold bins
in reserve to receive the vote of Pennsylva
nia in succeeding Presidential elections 7
It-worked so - beautifully last July in the
New York convention that the delegates
who originated thal. brilliant stroke of policy,
will never be willing to -vote for anybody
else. Let us hold .31r. Packer in rezerve
and get out a pamphlet."
The Lock Haven Democrat talks
out still plainer, and gives the Old
Hunkers to understand, once fur all,
that they must take baak SeittS. Re
ferring to the Packer movement it
says:
"We plead guilty, however, to a strong
disbelief in the ability of the Democracy of
Pennsylvania to elect him (Pucker) or -- any
other candidate belonging to what, with all
due deference, we shall term as the fossil
ized school. The miserable, degrading and
disgraceful conduct of the Pennsylvania
delegation at New York, controlled as its
action was by-that class of politicians, to
gether with the lamentable results of the
campaign in this State last fall, the legitir
mate result of the bungling inefficiency not
Ito say stupidity displayed in the convention , -
of the Fourth of July, convince its that a
certain class of politicians—in Pennsylva
nia at least—have had their day. The ap
proaching canvass will afford a splendid
opportunity for them to maintain a master
y inactivity."
GEN. Gna.NT, on Tuesday last, in
formed Mr. DICKEY of the Pennsylva
nia delegation, Unit Pennsylvania
would have a member of - his Cabinet
in the person a of gentleman whom he
knew well, an original Republican,
and who would be• iais much surprised
when his name was - announced as any
an in the country. Speculation is
busy, to ascertain who la intended for
Cabinet honors. A very probable sug

gress, deeming this bold assault on the
integrity of the elective fratAiiie of a

appointed a Committee ta4ookintutbet

pursuing Its investigations . for. several
months; inthe ~ f atie of persiatent At

Which Ipur readers got an insight into
the way in which things were managed
'in Philadelphia at the October rind
November elections. The Philadelphia
frauds, however, villainous as they
were, sink into lusignifitatice compar
ed with those perpetrated in New
York. In another column we give
some extracts from the report of the
Congressional investigating committee,
which should command the attend of
every honest citizen. The most alarm
ing feature in the whole matter lies in
the fact that these gigantic frauds are
the work of pro m in en t Democratic poll
ticians in high official position who con
trol the entire judialid and executive
machinery in the distrieni '- - „where the
frauds were perpetrated, and throw the
shield of official protection over the
scoundrels used by them to consummate
the great crime against Republican in
stitutions. How the evil is to be met,is
a grive question. But met It must be,
and the Republic looks to Congress for
such legislation as will prevent similar
villainy at future elections.
LAST Week, in the House of Repre
sentatives, an effort was made to in
crease the salary of members of the
Legislature from $lOOO to 1300. Mr.
liitcuoLsow, of Beaver, demanded the
yeas and nays, ands - the proposition
failed, the vote standing—yeas iB, nays
60. We do not find the name of Dr.
DILL on record—whether because he
was absent, or bedause he "dodged"
with others, does not appear.
The proposition originated with Mr.
McMiller, a Democratic member from
Montgomery,was warmly supported by
Mr. Davis, Democrat of Philadelphia,
and received the votes of a majority of
the Democratic members, while a ma
jority of the Republicans voted against
it. The latter voted, 10 for and 44 against
the proposition; while the Democrats
voted, 18 for and 16 against it. At the
close of the vote,
.a "scene" occurred
by some members appearing within
the bar asking to he.pern3itted to re
cord their votes against the bill. Mr.
Davis objected, saying that he had
openly and boldly voted for the bill,and
didn't believe in accommodating men
who wanted the bill passed, but afraid
to assume the rPspousibility "dodged,"
and then mine in to put themselves
"right on the record." He was down
on "dodgers."

TIIE ENO OF IspA4l.--The first signal
public act of Andrew Johnson's Presi lenti
al career was the hanging of the assassins
of President Lincoln, and he is about -dos
ing it with a free pardon to their confeder

commencing with a bloody tragedy and
ending with a broad farce. Even in the
case of Airs. Surratt, who was recommended
to Executive clemency by the commission
which tried her, he insisted upon her blood
as doe to outraged justice, but now impris•
onment is too heavy a punishment to those
who, equally with her, coon 'died, counten
anced and aided the conspirators.

the subsequent capture of that fortress:

Ln Washington Territory, and a few grains
of wheat were taken from his craw. Being
very large and full,-they were preserved
and planted. The yield was found to be so
great as to lead to its propagation, until this
variety, which is known in the Territory as
the "Goose Wheat," has becorbe a standard
one in that section of the country. Samples
of this wheat were recently sent to the Ag
ricultural Department at Washington. Up
on examining the samples at the musum,

13 4 4 Ai* Lawr:enoe :
o .Btaegetsillng and startling as the -frauds
tare been in etir pest history, they are all
surpassed in some, respects by those per
petrated le the gemeatelection in the State,
and especially in' the city of .Ikiew York.—
'Obese frauds were the result of a systematic
plan of gigantic proportions, stealthily pre
arranged and boldly executed, not merely
by bands of degraded desperadoes, but with
the direct sanction, approval and' aid of
many prominent officials and citizens of
New York, with shrewdly concealed con
nivance of others, and almost without an ef
fort to discourage or prevent them by any
of those in whose interest and political par
ty associations they were successfully ex
ecuted, who could r.ot fail to have cogniz
ance of them, and whose duty it was to ex
pose, defeat and punish them. They were
aided by corrupt and corrupting official pa
tronage and power, which not only en
couraged, but shielded and protected the
guilty principals and their alders and abet
ton. These frauds are so varied' in char
acter that they comprehend every known
„crime against the elective franchise. They
corrupted the administration of justice, de
graded the judiciary, defeated the execution
of the laws, sbbverted for the time being,
in New York State, the essential principles
of popular government, robbed the people
of that great State of their rightful choice of
electors for President and Vice-President,
of a Governor and other officers ; disgraced
the most populous city of our Union ; en
couraged the enemies of Republican gov
ernment here and 'everywhere to deride our
institutions as a failure, and endangered the
peace of the Republic by an attempt to de
feat the will of the people in the choice of
their rulers,
The events of the past year in New York,
and the evidence taken by the committee,
furnish proof of all these allegations.—
Among the most glaring of the frauds com
mitted In the Interest of the Democratic par
ty, in the city and State of New York,._ in
connection with the election in November,
1868, are these:—Many thousands of aliens
fraudulently procured or were furnished
with certificates of naturalization, illegally
or fraudulently issued, by means of which
they were enabled tozegister as voters, and
voted in violation of law. Many hundreds
of certificates of naturalization were granted
in the names of fictitious persons, to be used
by native born and naturalized citizens and•
aliens in falsely registering as voters, and
to enable them to vote many times at the
same election.
REPICATESS
Many hundreds of persons voted in New
York city from two to forty times or more,
each underassumed or fictitious name*,
fraudulently registered for the purpose.
Extensive frauds were committed in can
vassing tickets, and names of voters were
entered orrpoU lista, and Democratic tickets
counted, as if voters representing them
voted, when no such persons voted et all.
GROSS SZGLKCY OF DUTY
To accomplish these frauds gross neglect
of duty and disregard of law, so great as to
evince criminal purpose, prevailed in some
of the courts ; while the officers and Dem
ocratic partisan*, of almost every grade,
either by official influence, or otherwise,
aided, sanctioned, or knew of, and failed to
prevent them. The same influence shield
ed perpetrators in nearly all cases from de
tection and arrest ; and when arrested, they
have, through the agencies of jedicial of
.llcers and others, charged with the duty of
Prosecution, escaped all punishment.
Through Nutsraelne the DUMOCratte
electors of President and Vice Presi
dent and the Democratic candidate for
Governor of the Slate of New York were
fraudulently elected, and the investiga
tions of the committee show that the exist
ing State laws and mode of enforcing them,
are wholly inadequate to prevent these
frauds, but that Congress has power to en
act laws which, it faithfully executed, will,
to some extent furnish protection hereafter.
There is no law of Congress professing to
prevent or punish frauds in voting or con
ducting elections, and the penalties relating
to certificates of naturalization are by no
means adequate.
Ii'ATCHALIZATION PAPk:ItS.
The largest number of naturalization pa
pers ever granted in one year, in New York
city, before 1868, was in 1856, when only
16,493 were issued, while in 1868 there
were 41,112 isred. The New York Dem
ocratic Printing Committee ordered, be
tween Bepte.mber 16 and October 23, blank
applications amounting to . 105,000, and of
certificates of naturalization, 69,000; in
addition to this, other presses were running
on blanks for other Democratic commit
tees."
The report quotes the specific evidence
of naturalization certificates fraudulently
procured or issued in October, 1868, to per
sons never appearing in court. One wit
ness swore that one hundred and fitly were
sent to the Democratic Club at Peekskill
and used. Papers were issued on fictitious
names and used by repeaters. Frauds in
Issued papers were not confined to New
York, but extended over Orange, Ulster,
Monroe, West Chester and other counties.
`tilmong the frauds pract& Under the
Naturalization laws wero Akre personation
of applicants for naturalisation, perjury of
witnesses under assumed names, fabrication
of applications-for naturalization, and oth-
era in support of them, with the names of
applicants and witnesses forged; granting
of certificates of naturalization in fictitious
names; and on applications, regular in
form, but without the presence of any ap-
Pliuttata, and to persons not entitled to
them ; applicants for naturalisation or those
professing to represent them,witb their wit-
nesses, were sworn in groups, sometimes
larger and sometimes smaller, and without
any separate examination of each witness
in the Supreme Court, not merely occasion
any, but habitually,--are all proved beyond
controversy.
EXT7iIT OF TES FRAUDS
The committee estimate, from What is
proyed, that sixty-eight thousand three
hundred and forty-three fraudulent certifi
cates were issued In New York, Ulster,
Monroe, Westchester, Rensalaer, Putnam,
Green and Orange counties. The gigantic
character of the conspiracy, coveriug SO
many counties and election polls, and the
difficulties interposed by Democratic offi
cials, have delayed and hindered a thorough
examination. .A.II that could be done was
to prove, as the evidence does, that an or
ganised SySiern wi ll ' perfected and carried
Into e ffect by the members of the Demme
'4o Patti% to mega many diamonds of
a l li n"r fictitious or assumed, and then to
vote on them by hundreds of persons vot

to show that it was part of the gigantic

SECRET ASSASSINANION.
The Mysterious , Air-Gun—The Silent
Over a year ago, at one o'clock in the
Morning, a Brooklyn police officer was
carelessly sauntering down his usual beat,
when be observed a man partly hidden be
hind a tree on the opposite side of the
street. The officer stopped and carefully
observed the man's movements. In a few
moments - a man was observed coming up
the sidewalk opposite. The man behind
the tree stepped from his place of conceal
ment and walked down the street to meet
the stranger, the poliCe officer still closely
watching him. When the suspicious per
son was within twenty feet of the stran
ger, and near a gas light burning brightly be
neath the trees, the stranger suddenly slap
ped his forehead with his right hand, and
fell to the pavement—a dead man. His
murderer began to ride his pockets. The
officer hastened at once to the spot, but the
assassin saw him and fled.
The officer pursued him. The chase was
hot. Around corners, across half paved
streets, through slums and alleys, over
high boarded fences, and beneath gas lights,
the murderer fled, brit a keen-eyed bunter
was on his track. He was captured. On
his line of flight an air-gun of peculiar con
sruction was ibund. It had done its dead
ly work silently and effeetually. It was of
simple mechanicism, and could hardly be
considered a marvel of mechanical skill.
The assassin turned out to be one Skid
more, a discharge policeman. In his house
evidence was found which proved that he
had been engaged for several years in ne
farious schemes of burglary and murder.
Brooklyn was thrown into a state of ner
vous excitement. The air gun was regarded
with the greatest curiosity, and those in
specting it handled it with circumspection,
fearful that a silent bullet was only waiting
a signal to add another to its roll of
Skidmore cut his throat in his cell and thus
escaped the jibbet. We do not know
what became of the air gun. but •we do
know that for weeks afterwards many of
the citizens of Brooklyn never dared go
from their houses at night for fear of a silent
straggling bullet.
Again we have accounts of shooting with
the air gun—this time in New York. A
week or two ago we had to announce the
serious injury, by a pistol shot, of a young
man walking at midday on the corner of
Broadway and Canal street. The cause
was a mystery which has never been ex
plained. On Tuesday afternoon, in two
diverse localities, there occured circumstan
ces fortunately less injurious in their ef
fect, but hardly leas mysterious in their
nature, which seem to point with equal as
surance to the diabolical agent, an air gun.
Two bullets in quick succession crashed
through the windows of a grocery at the
intersection of the Bowery and Bond streets.
With as little warning a pistol ball entered
through the plate-glass doorway of 310
Broadway, with dangerous force. A young
man employed in Ohittendefes Orygoods store
was walking Sown Broadway, Wednesday
afternoon, and felt something hit his arm.
On arrival at the store he ascertained that
hi had been shot through the arm by a
bullet, which luuj lodged and remained in
his side. Where the bullet-came from, who
fired it, or for what—all these points ra
main secret. On Monday an air gun bullet
was fired through a pawnbroker's window
In Centre street. On the same evening one
of these aiktat messengers of death came
through a window in the Sun 'a editorial
rooms, and one evening last week two bul
let boles were found in the pains in Mr.
Thomas Hitchcock's residence, a 8 East
twenty-ninth street. Wither are we tend

GRANT AND B I SMARCK.—The Prime Min
ister and chief agent in the recent military
exploits of Prussia, CountßOmarck42B
written a letter, acknowlec 'the receipt,
through Baron Gerolt, of the first volume of
the "Life of General Grant," recently pub
lished. Bismarck writes to General Grant
as follows: "I hasten to return you my hear
ty thanks for a work which promises me
the enjoyment of reviewing in a succient
shape that gigantic struggle, the 'varying
phases of which I followed at the time with
intense Interest. It will be a permfnent
source of gratification and pride to think
that for the volume now open before me I
am indebted to the kind and sympathetic
feelings of the very man who took Vicks
burg and Richmond. May peace, restored
by you, afford equal scope to you powers
with equal benefits to your country, and
may the present interchange of friendly
sentiments between us prove a good augury
for the continuance of those relations so
happily established between America and
Germany."
A STORY Is told of *Kean Buchanan,
who is said to be one of the finest "po'ker"
players in the world. While in Australia a
few years since, Mr. Buchanan had a thrif
ty, speculative agent, who took the money
at the door and generally kept it. The
tragedian couldn't well afford to dispense
with the man's services for so trifling a
matter, so he artfully inoculated the pecu
lative agent with a mania for this game of
poker, and when the agent had captured all
the money at night Mr, Buchanan would
skilfully and unfailingly win It all away
from him during the next day.
