Wednesday morning, Jan. 10, 1866,
.C.6o—Gov. Fairchild, of Wisconsin,
in his-recent inaugural address, gives
publicity to the fhllowing sentiment:
"Not until Setrersan Davis shall have
been tried, convicted, and hung for trea
son;and the fact that treason is a crime,
which cannot be committed with im
punity, shall
.have thus been fully demon
strated, will the American people be
content,"
This is the sentiment entertained by
the Loyal masses of the people from
east to west, and we are pleased to see
that the people's highest functionary
in Wisconsin is not backward in giv
ing vent to his feelings and those of
his constituents. Members in the Na
tional Legislature have introduced
bills inquiring into the cause of the de
lay in the Davis' trial. The anxiety of
the public has not yet ceased in regard
to what shall be the disposition of
Jeff. and we think the sooner his case
is disposecrof, the better it will be for
him perhaps, and the people, surely.
The crime of treason should be de
monstrated upon the person of some
rebel, and what more appropriate per
son than the head and center of the
great rebellion ? •
IsTEXT GOvERNOR.—The Union State
Central Committee is called to meet in
Harrisburg on Friday the 19th inst.,
for the purpose of fixing the time for
holding the next State Convention,
and transacting other business. The
most important business for tho next
Union State Convention will be the
nominating of a Union candidate for
Governor. It is not too soon for the
people to be looking around fur the
best man. Wo notice in some of our
exchanges, communications urging the
claims of several gentlemen. Colonel
Frank Jordan of Bedford, Maj. Gen.
John W. Geary, now a citizon of Cum
berland county, and Hon. James K.
Morehead of Allegheny, are strongly
urged for the position. Hon. John
Cessna of Bedford,Mr. Ketchum of Ly
coming, and some three or four other
prominent gentlemen have also been
named for the nomination. Our col
umns are open to our patrons to urge
the claims of their choice.—
The Legislature,
The Legislature assembled on Tues
day of last week. Both houses organ
ized by the election of Mr. Fleming of
Dauphin, Speaker of the Senate, and
Mr. Kelly of Washington, Speaker of
the House. The other officers were
principally re-elected. Mr, Benedict
was reelected Chief Clerk of the House.
On •Wednesday nominations were
made for Stuto
tion to take place on the 10th. Mr. IL
Keruble, of Philadelphia,present Treas
urer, is the caucus nominee of the
Union Party, and will be reelected.
The Secretary of the Commonwealth
was then introduced and presented the
following message from the Governor:
clovEnNot's MESSAGE.
To the Senate and Rouse of Representa
. tives of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl
EOM
GENTLEMEN toils and tluxiC
ties of the last four years have from
time to time brought on me severe at
tacks of disease. From tho most so•
yore of these 1 am now slowly strug
gling towards recovery. I find that to
give my constitution an opportunity to
continue this struggle, it is absolutely
necessary that I should, without delay,
make a short sea voyage, and sojourn
in a' milder climate. Under the pros
sure of this necessity I go to the Island
of Cuba. It is my hope and intention
to return in good season
. to welcome
you on your arrival at the seat of gov
ernment. But if it should be found
indispensable thati my visit to Cuba
should be prolonged to the early part
of February, this message will serve to
lay before you the cause of my absence
at the commencement of your session.
In this case I feel sure that you will
adopt such course as shall consist with
your wisdom, and with the affectionate
consideration which I have always re
ceived at your hands.
It would, however, not become me
to forget that the Issues of life are in
the bands of the Ono above all, and
that many have found death waiting
for them on the foreign shore to which
they had been sent in search of health.
Should such be my fate, I shall draw
my last breath With a sense of the
deepest gratitude to the people of the
Commonwealth and their Itepresentas
tives for the cheerful, manly, unfailing
support which they have given during
the last four years to the great cause
of the right, and to me in rily efforts to
maintain it,and with a prayer of thank
fulness to Almighty God, that he
strengthened me till the end of the
cruel rebellion, aad thought me worthy
to be permitted to continue . to that
time as the Chief Magistrate of the
people of Pennsylvania. To have my
name connected in that relation with
such a people during, such a time,ought
to be enough to fill the highest meas
ure of any man's ambition.

of whom, I have no doubt, would make

tions combined, to make one of - the
best Governors Pennsylvania ever
boasted of. In him, we have ability,
integrity, industry, energy, honesty,
worth, and a man who stands at the
head of his profession as a lawyer.
That man is the Ron. Sow; SCOTT, of
your borough. A man almost without
a fault,. man without a blemish or
spot upon his (Ammeter. A man of
whom the politicians of either party
cannot say aught, against, as to fitness
or qualifications; and one of the very
best men in the whole Slate for the po
sition, and I sugg' est that he be urged
for the nomination. He is not a poli
tician and never was, therefore, he is
act acquainted with the wire workings
of the political Machine, the lack of
which knowledge malces him doubly
qualified for the position. In his hands,
the affairs of Slate would be perfectly
cafe, as ho could neither be bought or
bribed. He is conscientious as well as
honest.
Mr. Scott's sterling worth should
not be overlooked, and I urge the -gen
tleman's friends to press his claims
before the Convention that will meet
some time next Spring or the early
part of the Seminar, for the purpose
of placing in nomination some suitable
person for our next Governor. We
want honest men, reliable men, men of
intellect to fill our offices of trust and
responsibility. fir. Scott has fed•, if
any, superiors in the, State, and we
urge his claims on that ground. Above
reproach, he stands bcfrilt the. people
the type of all that is good and true.
A man who deserve: well of his fel
lows. A man when know') is apprecia

if not the best Governor Pennsylvania
ever produced, and the Convention
which nominates, will not be doing its
duty, if it overlooks such men as Jens
Scorr, modest and unostentatious us
he is. UPPER END.

SOLDIERS' DISCHARGES AGAIN.----The
following address has been issued by
the Soldiers' and Sailors' National
League:
It
. has came to our knowledfie that
many honorably discharged soldiers
and sailors who have served during
the whole or itTortion of th.e_w_ar for
- tho — suppressnin• OT the rebellion are
selling or offering for sale, their dis.
charges. We desire to express our sor
row and chagrin that any of our late
brothers in arms are willing for a few
dollars to sell the certificates for the
part they peribrmed in saving our he
loved country, in preserving to the
people and to their posterity, the pre
cious legacy of liberty transmitted by
our dithers:
We beg you to consider well the
importance that your discharges kill
be to each one of you through life. It
is the only evidence you possess of
havityr ' served throughout your term
with honor; un tin gcd, and unblotted
by any disgraceful, cowardly act. It
will ever be a pass to you for obtaining
honest and honorable employment or
position in the walks of civil life. It i s
the only voucher which enables you to
claim or receive from time to time such
benefits and blessings as a free and
gratefdl people through their Congress
will unquestionably bestow upon its
couutry'ssaviours, particularly in their
old age.
We respectfully recommend to each
and every one of you to have your
discharge papers recorded in the coun•
ty, office where you reside, so that in
the event of the loss of your discharge
in any manner, there will be a record
ed evidence of the name.

A Message to the Senate,
WASUINGTON, Dee. 10.—The follow
ing were laid before the United Senate
to day
To the Senate of the United States
In reply to the resolution adopted
by the Senate on the 12th, I have the
honor to state that the, rebellion waged
by a portion of the people against the
properly constituted authorities of the
Government of the United States has
been suppressed; that the United States
are in possession of every State in
which the insurrection existed, and
that as far as could be done,-the courts
of the United States have been restor
ed, poSt—oflices reestablished, and steps
taken to put into effective operatidn
the ;'O, onue laws of the country.
As the result of the measures insti
tuted by the Executive with the view
of inducing a resumption of the func—
tions of the. State, comprehended in
the inquiry of the Senate, the people in
North Cardlina, `South Carolina, Geor
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Tennessee, have reeogs
nized then• respective State Govern-
IllOntS, and are yielding obedience to
the laws and Government of the United
States with more willingness and great
er prompitude than under the circum
stances could reasonably have been
anticipated. The proposed amendment
to the Constitution providing fir the
abolition of slavery forever within the
limits of the country, has been ratified
by each one of those States, with the
exception of Mississippi, from which
no official lam - nation has been receiv
ed; and in nearly all of them measures
have been adopted, or are now pending,
to confer upon freedmen the privileges
which are essential to their comfort,
protection and security.
In Florida and Texas the people are
makimg commendable progress in re—
storing their State government 3, and
no doubt is entertained that they will
at an early period be in a condition to
resume allot' their practical relations
with the Federal Government. In that
portion of the Union lately in rebellion
the aspect of affairs is more promising
than, in view of all the circumstances,
could well have been expected. The
people throughout the entire South
evince an audible desire to renew their
allegiance to the Government, and to
repair the devastations of war by a
prompt and cheerfal return to peace,
tut pursuits. An abiding . faith is
entertained that their •actinins will
conform to their professions, and that,
in acknowledging the supremacy of
the Constitution and the laws or the
United States, their loyalty will be un
reservedly given to the Government
whose leniency they cannot fail to ap
preciate, and whose fostering care will
soon restore. them to a -condition of
prosperity. It is true that in some of
the States the demoralizing effects of
the war are to ho seen in occasional
disorders; but, these are local in char
acter,,not frequdnt in occurrence, and
are rapidly disappearing as the au
thority of civil government is extended
and sustitined.
Perplexing questions were naturally
to be expected from the great and
sudden change in the relations between
the Lwo races ; but systems are gradu
ally developing themselves under
which the freedman will receive the
protection to which he is justly enti
tled, and by
-means of his labors make
himself a useful and independent mom -
bco; of the community in which he has
From all the information in my pos
session, and from that which I have
recently derived from the most reliable
authority, I am induced to cherish the
belief that sectional animosity is sure'
ly and rapidly merging itself into a
spirit of nationality, and that represcu
tation; connected with a properly ad
justed system of taxation, %rill result
in a harmonious restoration of the re
lations of the States Lo the national
Union.
The report of Carl Schurz is here
with transmitted, as requested by the
Senate. No reports from the Hon.
John Covodo have been received by
the President.
The attention of the Senate is invited
to the accompanying report, of Lieu
tenant General Grant, who recently
made a tour of inspection through sev
eral of the States whose inhabitants
participated in the rebellion.

\V Amu zaTeN, Dec. 18,1865.
On account of the immense number
of questions on the subject, the Pay
master General has prepared the fol—
low•ing rules for the information and
guidance of persons presenting claims.
It should be stated under what act the
claim is made;
1. If' under act of'July 22, 1361, the
man should state, under oath, whether
ho lies received the t! , 25 advance b3un.
Ly, or whether he claims the whole of
the $lOO bounty. 2. If under any oth
er act authorising the payment of Uni •
ted States bounties, he should name
each and every installment claimed
and unpaid. e. .o claim for veteran
bounty will be entertained unless the
claimant has heretofore been moguls
zed and borne on his company rolls as
such veteran. 4. Colored soldiers ap
plying for bounty should state wheth
er they.were mustered cs "free on or
before April 19, 1361," or were "en
rolled and subject to draft" at the date
of enlistment. 5. If the claim is for
back-pay, the man must name the
months for which lie claims, and state
where and on what rolls (hospital or
other) be has been mustered, or where
he was en each muster day, from the
tine lie first claims pay to the date of
discharge. 6, In case of claims for un
settled clothing, the sworn statement
of the commanding officer of the com
pany to which lie belonged, sustaining
the claim, must be filed with it. 7. It'
the claimant be an officer, he must,
state when last paid, and, if possible,
the name of the paymaster who last
paid him. S. In all cases send dupli
cate copies of Form 5 in enlisted men's
eases, only signed and witnessed. In
cases of officers Form 3, to be signed
and sworn to,
MAJOR QUATTLEI3IIII, of Georgia, has
applied fora pardon. He "rests his

One ofthe Bitter Fruits of Treason,
We notice by our Southern excha
ges that a great outburst of indignation
has recently boon had in parat of Vir
ginia, at the fill that the widow of
Stonewall Jackson is now living an
object of public charity, a charge, real
on the directors of the poor hi the
parish where she resides. There is a
retribution in all this which SOuther%
indignation cannot hide, while the
manner• in which it illustrates the in
gratitude-of treason is full of impres
sive significance. Stonewall Jackson
was looked upon as the bravest and
the purest :.man' in *the rebel armies.
When he perished the hosts of treason
sent up a grieve:is howl—they felt, in
deed, that they had lost a great com
mander. Immediately money was
raised to procure statues of the dead
trait or a n d build monuments to his
memory. But before this money is
disbursed, and before the men who
acted with Jackson have forgotten
their hatred of our authorities, the fact
is Made public in the South that his
widow is a pauper. It is related of
Benedict Arnold that while he wan.
dered an outcast and died a beggar in
an alley in London, his relatives in
Americo lived shunned 'cly all rneu, and
that the last of kin of the traitor
actu—
ally became immates or alms houses.
Already this lute begins to overtake
the survivors of those who led in the
rebellion. Mrs. Jackson belonged to
that class of Southern dames who ml
ded to the fury of rebellion by firing
the hearts of those who loved them
with intense hatred of the Yankee.
She doubtless dreamed when the rebel
lion was organized, that the reward of
her traitor husband's arming as a sol
dier, would be to place her in a pal
ace in all the glory conferred by the
title of a dowager on a duchess. But
for the share which Mrs. Jackson took
in the horrid crime of treason, she now
reaps her reward of beggary, in the
midst of a people who three years ago,
were wont to regard her as one of the
favored women of the South. Mrs.
Jackson's case is not an isolated one.
Hundreds like her, will (if they do not
already) be compelled. to suffer beg
gary as the just reward of their share
in the crime of treason.— Harrisburg

A PETITION from the women of the

lication. We are unable to publish it,
but we wish - the, movement all possible
success. We think the women of the
United Slates ought to have the fran
chise if they desire it, and we think
they ought to deStre it. But until
they do desire it, and show that they
do by a general and emphatic expres
sion of opinion, wo are Opposed to their
being saddled with it on grounds of
mere theoretical fitness or justice. • In,
any real democracy women ought to
vote, but the position of disfranchised
women differs in many important par
ticulars from that of disfranchised men.
The social emancipation of women
must, in our opinion, precede their
political emancipation. As long as
they. are socially dependent, as at
present, on men, and do not generally
desire or seek independence, the as—
sertion of their political rights will be
difiltlult or impossiblo. We should, for
our part, witnesS without emotion the
disfranchisement of all men who look

WHAT PRESIDENT 'MUNSON SAYS OF
TUE FREEDMEN.—Gen Fisk, of the
Freedmen's Bureau, said in a speech in
Brooklyn on Tuesday evening,—
"Yestc rday, I had a talk with the
President, who said to me that ho fblt
the great responsibility committed to

negro as a freeman, but I mean and
desire to carry out the views of the
great and good Abraham Lincoln, and
to see that those people have a guaran

with you in their ultimate attainments,

_grams and letters from all parts of the
South of dreadful import. If they

sition, they would pity mc, and give
me their prayers.' This he said with
tears in his eyes; and I asked him
if the Freedmen's Bureau was to
be discontinued,—my resignation being
already in his hands,—and be said to
me, 'Go back, go to your work, and
see justice dono to both white and
black. The Freedmen's Bureau will
only cease to exist when the Southern
States ,are resolved to deal honestly
and justly by these freedmen.' [Ap—

presence with more of faith and hope
in Andrew Johnson than I ever had."
