scat on the Supreme Bench.
THE VOTE FOR GOVERNOR.—The offi
cial returns for Governor were opened
and counted in the presence of the two
Houses of the Legislature. They stood:
- John W. Geary, 307,374 votes.
Mester Clymer, 200,006 votes.
Geary's majority, 17,178
WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?—The Pitts
burg Republic, a papor_devoted to' the
political interests of President John
son, and having his name up as its
candidate in 1866, says :
"The selection of Gen. Cameron to
a seat in the United States Senate is a
grand triumph of conservatism over
radicalism."
Sentors and Members of the
House waited upon Ex Governor Cur
tin in a body on Wednesday to pay
their respects. At 12 o'clock ho took
his departure, with his flintily, for
Philadelphia, whore he intends to re
main during the winter. Gov. Geary
and family took possession of the
"white house," on the same day.
na,rhere is a difference of opinion
in the majority party at Washington
as to how the rebel States should be
re-constructed, and it is even hinted
that the war will have to be fought
over again before politicians can agree.
While the dispute is going on the reb
els are gaining strength,and they may
yet be able to give the country further
trouble.
iThad. Stevens said in a speech
in Congress that Pennsylvania had not
a, Republican form of Government, and
wanted Congress to "reconstruct," her .
When Pennsylvania wants to be re
constructed according to Thad's ideas
she will politely tell him so. Indeed
we think Congress Lave enough on
their hands at present, without seek
ing for new fields in which to experi
ment.
A 'Bin DAY. —The 15th was a big
day in Harrisburg. Gov. Geary was
inaugurated, Simon Cameron was elec
ted, and a, prizo fight between two
roughs from Now York and Baltimore
came off somo eight or ton miles above
the city. About fifteen hundred per
sons were present at the fight, and the
passenger trains and the hotels in the
city were run down by them. Of
course many pockets were picked.
Deacon Bergner's Telegraph gives the
"rounds" in full and the result of the
contest. Harrisburg is looking up.
Prize fighting is becoming popular
since the election of John Morrisey to
Congress.
UNITED STATES SENATOII.—Both lou
ses met on the loth and balloted for
U. S. Senator with tho following re
sult
SIMON CAMERON
Received in the Senate,
House,
Total,
EDGAR CO WAN
Received in the Senate,
House,
Total,
Mr. Cameron was declared elected
for six years from tho 4th of March
next. Thus ended the contest.
m.Col. A. K. McClure, editor of the
Chambetsburg Repository, says that
twenty-one Senators and Members vo
ting for Cameron, were either solemn
ly pledged or instructed to vote for
Curtin, and if these twenty-one had
remained true Curtin would have been
nominated on first ballot. Ilefurther
remarks :—" Why Simon Camertin was
chosen, I need not repeat. The story
is familiar to all, oven in the humblest
and remotest homes of the State. If
written in flaming characters on the
dome of the capitol, or branded inefface
ably upon the brow's of the men who
did it, no ono would have to learn
thereby how the richest jewel of loyal
victory had been basely bartered for a
price."
Tho Now York Tribune of Jan
uary Bth, says sontitiously the follow
ing:
!In this country, the shortest politi
cal road is that which leads from a ma
jority to a miaority. Our party will
take this C0111:80 when it rashly begins
impeachment."
That is a true sentiment. Parties
may struggle hard and long to obtain
place and power, but it takes very lit
tle to make the downward road short
and easy, Impeaching the President
is not the reconstruction of the South,
and the people everywhere would soon
see it. The President is now no oh
!stack, in the way of the Republican
party, notwithstanding his inevitable
vetoes, and, of course, that body is to

Wt: observe with great satisfaction
that the young men of our town have
taken possession of the upper room of
the Allegheny Engine House and con
verted it into a club room. The object
is to afford themselves a place of meet
ing for innocent amusement, and to
improve the mind by reading and con
versation. This is a step in the right
direction. They have become tired of
bar room loafing places and have re
solved to better themselves 'by assem
bling for mutual improvement. They
will supply , themselves with newspa
pers, .Cc., and will try to make the long
winter evening pass as delightfully as
they can. We suggest that the Town
Council make an appropriation to aid
this laudable enterprise. Let the
heads of families encourage it and as
sist the young fireman in gathering a
library. Theio things are having an
effect on the morals of our young men,
and now is the opportunity: We would
also suggest to the neigbboring bor
oughs that they inaugurate and carry
out the same measures.—Hollidaysburg
Leader.
-STEPHEN
We can heartily add "amen" to the
suggestion of Bro. Kcatley. If there
is anything more desirable in a com
munity, where there is a large number
of young men, it is a place to congre
gate in the evening. It is needless to
say where the majority of the unem
ployed go to seek recreation, as it is
patent to all that it is in the haunts
of iniquity and the gates of destruction.
Every town has its young men, and
every town has its bar-rooms and gam
bling saloons, and the roving disposi•
tion and yke giddy, unsteady mind of
the youth naturally lead him to seek
pleasure, such as it is, in those places,
where others of his own age and stand
ing are to be found. Such is the fact
that older and wiser beads look with
sorrow on the picture, and the public
at hug?) , feel compassion for the youth
made useless by liquor's blighting in•
fluence, which is administered- to him
nightly.
We venture the assertion that no
young man, at first, takes pleasure in
visiting a gambling saloon or bar room.
The drtad of public opinion fills him
with horror, whilst the pleadings of his
own conscience but add to his discom
fort. But how soon does he become
hardened against public opinion ? how
soon does the counsels of the silent
monitor within fail of their former ef
fect? He has given full license to his
Satanic will, and it has led him reck
lessly on until he heeds the voice
wisdom in vain. The young man is
ruined, not only because of his sinful
gratification of a deceptive desire, but
also because of the apparently encour
aged sources of temptation in our
midst. It is duo time, then, that our
people should enlist as a unit in the
salvation of our young men. Nothing
should I) considered too.rseat a sacri
fice to make them `honored children,"
whose future career will redound to
their own credit and to our people's.
The establishment of a Reading Room
wo have always urged, and are in fh
vor of any worthy enterprise that will
keep the young mon in our midst from
temptation, and rear them up honora.
bly. It is for our people old and
young, to co operate in such a lauda
ble object as the establishment of a
Reading Room, and persevere in their
endeavors, no matter what obstacles
may interfere.
ZE - )s - The Now York Times takes Gov
ernor Geary to task for the reflection
made in his inaugural address, where
ho refers to its being a "morbid clem
ency and a censurable forbearance"
which fail to punish the greatest crimes
known to civilized nations. The Times
says:
"Such reflections as these, coining
from n more political speculator or
from an amateur military officer who
had done merely ornamental or hurt
ful service in the war, would invite no
such comment as they do from an offi
cer of Gen. Geary's practical experi
ence. It would he well enough tor a
man with Gen. Batter's military rec
ord to revive the question, either in a
formal address or in a random speech,
whether Gen. Grant, acting in accord
ance with the President's it structions,
should have accepted the parole of the
Confederate Generals, or whether the
Commander-in-Chief and the Lieuten.
nut-General of the Army are chargea
ble with 'morbid clemency and censur
able forbearance' in acting as they did.
But such words are hardly those one
should expect from the Goveanor of a
great State, who had soberly weighed
the character of the struggle in which
our army was engaged, and who had
done his full part as an active partici
pant therein,"
A SWEEPING MEASURE.---Tho peti
tion presented to the Senate by Sena
tor Sherman, asking Congress to pro
hibit any person addicted to the use
of intoxicating liquor from holding of
fice under the Government of the
United States, might, under certain
circumstances, be worthy of discus
sion. But as the enactment of a law
to this effect would not only deprive
the country of many of its most mus
cular officials, but if applied to the
present Congress would deprive a large
proportion of orthodox members of
their seats, there need be no fear of
the petition meeting with a favorable
reception. Such is the fact, as pitiable
as it may be, that_tho majority of the
leading mon in Congress, are controlled
by the spirit so much that a measure
looking to their own "reconstruction,"
in a very important particular, w ill
Dot be passed with as much unanimity
as ono for the reconstruction of the
Southern States, and if it should it
?night be vetoed.

Sousa TALK.--The Philadelphia
Telegraph, a Republican journal, takes
the following strong grounds against
the abusive speeches of "I, James Ash
ley," who impeaches the President,
and a Mr. Loam, who charged the
President with complicity in the assas
sination of Abraham Lincoln, on the
floor of the House, but couldn't bring
the proofs. These notoriety-seeking
gentlemen deserve the castigation they
receive, most worthily :
"We wish to refer co these gentle
men in a spirit of plain common sense.
The people scud representatives to
Washington, not to make unnecessary
speeches, but to legislate with wisdom
The only occasion when a speech is
aprop6s is when their side of tho ques
tion is to be strengthened by their ar
gument. The floor of the House is no
place for stump oratory. When a mem
ber speaks in Congress he addresses
the nation, not as represented by lit
erally the nation, but the telegraph
and the press make his hearers in%
crease to millions. How utterly shal
low, therefore, must be the man who,
for the purpose of seeing his name
paraded, will fill the columns of papers
and occupy the attention of thousands
with cupty platitudes! If the able
speaks 4lp rated shallow, the member
who will sacrifice public good for the
creation of a sensation is not only
shallow, but criminal. Justice, such
as the vilest criminal may claim, re
quires that, if a member accuses a high
official of a crime, the punishment for
which is death, that he be required to
produce the proofs. It is easy for one
to blacken a character when the per
son attacked has no chance to reply,
and it is a duty which Mr. Loan owes,
not only to justice and his own charac
ter, but to the country at large, that
either lie remain silent and produce
the proofs ban.° the Committee; or
that, having made so bold a charge be
fore such an audience, he sustain his
cliat•ge before the same body. We dep
recate most earnestly this style of har
angue, which reminds us more forcibly
of the Jacobins of the French Itevoln•
thou than ()fan argumentative and rep•
resentative body. The members who
thus gratify their passion for notoriety
at the expense of reason, endanger the
great cause for which they are bat
tling, and make themselves ridiculous
in the eyes of all thinking men. Let
the Loan style of speaking be aban
doned, and no charge made, in order
that the reporter can say that 'Mr.
produced a sensation,' or that a
sounding peroration be achieved."
The respectable Republican journals
begin to see the enemies of peace, order
and decency, as the great mass of the
people see them. It may not be too
late for members of Congress to re-form.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Jan. 16.—1 n the Senate to-day the
House amendments to the bills for the
admission of Colorado and Nebraska
were concurred in; the bills now go to
The provisions _abeut_
which there has been so much debate
are attached to each bill in the follow
ing language :
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted,
that this act shall go into effect with
the fundamental and perpetual condi
_Oen, that within said State of Nebras
ka there shall he no abridgment or
denial of the exercise of the elective
franchise, or of any other right to any
person by reason of race or color, ex
cepting Indians not taxed, and upon
the future fundamental condition that
the Legislature of said State, by a sol
emn act, shall declare the assent of
said State to the said fundamental con
ditions and shall transmit to the Pres
ident of the United States an authentic
copy of said act, upon receipt whereof
the President, by proclamation, shall
forthwith announce the fact, whercup
on said fundamental condition shall
be held as a part of the organic law of
the State, and thereupon, and without
any further proceeding on the part of
Congress, the admission of said State
into the Union shall be considered as
complete ; said State Legislature shall
be convened by the Territorial Gover
nor within thirty days after the pas
sage of this act, to act upon the condi
tion submitted herein."
The vote in the Senate on concurring
in the 1 - louse amendment was tweoty
eight to fourteen, just enough to pass
it over a veto. The vote by which
the bills passed the Ilouse yesterday,
was 103 to 55, with several absentees
in favor of thoth. Ten were absent
from the Senate to day, of whom six
are counted for the bills over a veto.
In the course of the debate, Mr.
Cowan replied to a speech made recent
ly by Mr. Sherman, in which the lat
ter charged that there hail been two
thousand removals from offico during
the past year. Mr. Cowan said the
whole number of offices in the gift
of the President was, but 2,134. In
these there had been four hundred and
forty six removals by Mr. Johnson.
The State Department had 310 officers
from among which there had boon ten
removals ; the treasury, 973, from
among which there had been 179 re
movals ; the interior' 10, from among
which there had been 21 removals ;
the postoffico 709, front among which
there had been 197 removals, and the
Attorney General 202, from among
which there had been 19 removals.
The House to day took up Thad.
Stevens' enabling bill,and will consider
if from day to day until disposed of.
The bill in effect provides fbr the call
ing of State conventions in the ten in
surgent States, to which delegates aro
to be elected, to form a new State
government on the basis of universal
suffrage, except to rebels. The new
State constitusions are to declare fir
general suffrage and be acceptable to
Congress.
Mr. Bingham, (Republican,) of Ohio
spoke for an hour and a half against
the bill, and . denounced it in severe
terms. Ile said it was a measure of
destruction instead of reconstruction;
of disunion instead of reunion, and con
templated patching up restoration in a
meaner almost fatal to the RepulAie..
The speech attracted great attention.
