re-The Gettysburg Asylum Lottery
turns out to be a grand swindle, just
like all other gift enterprises.
,G , Z -. The Republican Convention of
Maine held last week declared for
General Grant for President.
It-" Where are we drifting to 7"
"A house divided against itself cannot
stand," and neither the sword, nor
famine, nor pestilence has proved so
injurious to States, as factious civil
discord, intestine animosities, and the
mutual hatred of citizens.
RErThe Republican State Central
Cormittee bold a meeting in Harris
burg on the 22d inst., and appointed
the rah of March nest for the holding
of a State Convention to nominate
candidates for . Atiditor General and
Surveyor General, and the election of
four delegates at large to the next
National Convention.
RECONSTRUCTION. — The "situation"
down South is becoming more mixed
than ever. The wisest heads can not
now see more than half way through
it. We would agree to have the whole
question handed over into the hands
of half a dozen honest statesmen who
would swear never to bo elected or
appointed to an Mike.
m.ISTo understand tho radical ele
ment of the Republican party to be
those who aro in favor of t giving the
negroes equal political rights with
white men, to sit on juries, to be Rep
resentatives in the Legislature, in Con
gress, etc, etc., and in favor of the ex
treme notions of Wendell Phillips,
Thad. Stevens, Butler, Ashly & Co. Is_
it there where you are Messrs. editors
of the Journal & American ? If you
aro not there, why is it that you do not
raise your voice against such extremes?
ra..The Cincinnati Commercial, the
leading RepUblican paper in the West,
says :—"Thc want of wisdom in the Re
publican party has already revived the
Democratic party." Very true. The
record the Democratic organization
made during the war was of such a
character as to damn it for a century
—but tho want of wisdom in the Re
publican party since the war, has giv
en the Radical Democracy life—has
given it hope of again getting control
of the public of of the nation.
tTho San Francisco Bulletin, the
leading paper in the State, says "G rant
is as clearly tho choico as was Lincoln
in 1864, and the politicians will as
siuroly be obliged to heed the popular
wish in regard to him, against their
own wishes may be, as they wore in
regard to Lincoln. The people like his
reticence, his common sense, his no.
Cons of economy, his subordination of
his personality to his duty, his respect
for public opinion, his freedom from
arrogance and dictation. His very si
lence is a golden virtue in this ago of
gab."
tier The following resolution, offered
by Wendell Phillips, in the Ilassachu
setts Anti-Slavery Society, on the 23d
inst., was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That we have no evidence that
General Grant sympathizes With the radical
statesmen of the Republican party, and we
regard as utter treason to the nation's peace
the heedless, unreasoning, and mad idolatry
which would give him the Presidency, while
no man is able or authorized to tell what are
his views on the great national issues.
The opposition of the extreme _Radi
cals to General Grant, only makes him
stronger with the people.
• FROM ' HARRISBURG.-0a the 24th,
Mr. Alclntyre presented a petition of
citizens of Oneida township, for an act
to prevent swine from running at largo
in said township.
A. now standing committee was ap
pointed in the House to be known as
that of Retrenchment and Reform. That
committee, if it does its duty, will have
a rough road to travel with the "rings,"
but the people will sustain it in the
right.
The committee hearing the evidence
iu the contested seat of Mr. Shugert,
has not yet reported. Wo hear that
some of the evidence is pretty strong
against the Democrats in Centre coun
ty. The most of the time of members
thus far has been taken up by local
legislation and political speeches. Both
houses adjourned on Friday until Mon
day evening.
'SIGNS AT WASIIINGTON.—Mr. Georgo
W. Hall writes from Washington to
the Secretary of the National Manu
facturers' Union, Chicago, the follow
ing letter :
"In our business wo are meeting
with all the success wo anticipated.—
The pressure brought to boar upon
Congress is more than it can withstand.
There is a general feeling of retrench
ment, and I ant mistaken or there will
be radical reforms before long. The
Committee of Ways and leans have
already resolved to report a bill re
pealing all taxes upon manufactures,
except luxuries, and we hope to get
the income tax off also, and expenses
reduced sufficient to admit of it. To
this end we aro laboring with individu
al members and the ditlerent commit
tees in whose hands are expenditures,
appropriations, etc., etc., and I think I
:MI safe in saying that our labors will
be crowned with success, but it must
I,e watched and pressed to the end.
Our . Candidates--Grant and Curtin.
Don't bo surprised, reader, at tho
lino you read above. We have not
went off halkocked. The "situation"
is such as to leave us only to choose a
position with the War Democrats and
Republicans who vireio a unit during
tho war, and "fight it out within the
lines of the party," or go over to the
support of the men who in 1860 disor
ganized the Democratic party, defeat
ed Douglas, and controlled the oryani
ration in sympathy with rebels and
traitors. The lessons of the war do
not seem to have made the loaders of
the Democratic organization wiser
or better .men. To-day, while they ap
plaud President Johnson for his "pluck"
in resisting the extreme measures of
the Republican party, they repudiate
him as their candidate for re-election,
—the very best evidence that ho is not
extreme enough, for their purposes
They want a man who was true to
their organization during the war—a
man like-Vallandigham—or a man like
Pendleton who was "all right" but not
as plainly outspoken as the "statesman
Vallandigham : " We had hoped there
m'ght be a reform in the Democratic
organization—a reform for the good of
the party as well as for the good of
the whole people—but we fail to see
any evidence of it. The old secession
element has control of the organization
still, and if that party should again be
elevated to power—to have control of
the affairs of the government—we
would not expect the "situation" to be
any better than it is to-day. Our rec
ord during the war is the opposite of
the record of the men who now con
trol the Democratic organization, and
the opposite of the record of the man
who will most likely be the candidate
of that party in the approaching cam
paign. We cannot for a moment think
of damning our record by supporting
for President any ono of the men who
are most prominent for the Democratic
nomination. General GRANT and ANDY
CURTIN were the right men in the
right places when the loyal hundreds
of thousands fought the rebellion, and
we feel that they are the men who
should be elected President and Vico
President next fall.
The next Presidential campaign will
be more important and more exciting
than any for mi!ny.yeere,.tud it will
be impossible fm•any man to look idly
on and take no part in tbo struggle.
Ono or the other of the two great par
ties mush succeed—there is no room
now for a third party. We choose
what we believe to be the least of two
evils—the least of two extremes.
Thro is Hope of a Reform.
The State Guard published at Har
risburg preaches well. Will it prac
tice what it preaches? There is room
for it to do good work for the tax op.
pressed people of the State. What it
srqs of its own party can be abio said
of the Democratic party. What is
wanted at Harrisburg most is a fear
less paper—a paper that will expose
corruption and extravagance regard
less of the men or parties interested.
Members of the Legislature are too
apt to forget that they aro but the ser
vants of the people. Many thousands
of dollars can be saved to the people if
the Guard will watch closely the
"rings" on the bill, and expose their
operations. The following article from
the Guard is the right way to talk
from a Republican stand point :
"CAN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AFFORD
TO HIDE ITS ERRORS?—One OV t IVO de
bates which have taken place in the
Legislature, since the beginning of the
session, have impressed us with the
importance of the question, can, the Re
publican party afford to hide its errors ?
The masses of the Republican party
aro intelligent and independent men.
They are not of a class who blindly
follow error, nor will they be satisfied
with empty speeches on the part of
Legislators, and other officers, who, to
hide their own corruptions and screen
the villainy of men engaged in sucking
the life blood of the State, endeavor to
put a veil on error that its deformity
may be kept from public view and
condemnation. This is not the way for
a great party to maintain its dignity
and purity. The man who conquers
his own passions, who amends his own
faults, and does not hesitate to confess
his errors when they are clear to his
comprehension, is he who always wins
the respect and retains the confidence
of his friends. So with our great party
organization. He.or they who are al
ways ridiculously soliticous to hide
its faults, to screen its errors and justi
fy its reckless wrongs, aro those who
prosper by such wrongs, and grow fat
in fortune by the corruptions, for which
they manage to make the entire party
responsible. In the name of the hon=
est masses of the Republican party we
protest against this policy. In the
name of the men whose votes win us
victory, and' whose honest devotion to
principle renders our organization re
spectable, we denounce the policy
which thus seeks to screen wrong
merely that a few favorite demagogues
may be protected and encouraged in
their greeds and their avarice. We
want to retain the confidence and ad
hesion of honorable, honest and devo
ted patriots, who now make the Re
publican party strong by denouncing the
evil which has crept into the organization.
If this is not done, if we hide our er
rors and approve corruption by screen
ing those who are Republicans for the
money there is in such attachments,
the result will be to drive handreds
and thousands of good men in disgust
from the party. These men put, the
question on the ground that if those
who wield the power won by Republi
cans prefer knavery to fair and honest
dealing, they must, content themselves
with the support of knaves. Our vic
tories are won that . the whole party,
the whole Commonwealth and the
Union may he benefitted, and not that
a 4liquo may be afforded opportunities
to grab and monopolize, corrupt and
disgrace all that is grand and noble in
Republicanism. The Republican par
ty was founded in purity—was organi
zed for the advancement of great prin
ciples—so that, when it neglects this
purity and forgets its principles, it will
become palsied in power. We want to
guard against such a calamity, and in
doing this we arc well aware we must
offend the debauched of our own party,
but we are compelled to risk the re
sponsiblity of such offending for the
certainty of doing good in behalf of
the entire organization. Manhood al
ways commands respect—the outspo
ken manhood which despises wrong
and regards with brave indignation
every species of meanness, alike that
which juggles in business and corrupts
in politics, is what is now wanted to
tear the veil from the wrong which is
feeding like a canker at the vitals of
the Republican party. Must we be
fearful in attacking and denouncing
this? We think not."
General Grant as a Presidential Dan
didate.
Lrrom the N.Y. Timm)
The opponents of General Grant's
nomination are trying very hard to
make themselves and the country be
lieve that ho is pressed merely as a
military man. Nothing could be more
untrue. That is among the least re
commendations. There are many
other men in the country whose record
merely as soldiers, is very nearly as
good as General Grant's and if military
merits alone were to decide the ques
tion, the struggle for his nomination
would bo much more difficult and
doubtful than it scorns to be now.
What General Grant achieved for
the country in the war has certainly
directed the attention of the, country
to him as a Presidential Candidate;
indeed, but for that, ho would never
have been thought of. Neither would
General Washington. But, in both
cases it was not for their military
achievements in themselves, so much
as for what those achievements had
done for the nation, and for the traits
of character which they revealed, that
their services were sought in the Pre
sidency. When the war of the Revo
lution closed, the condition of the coun
try was even more chaotic than it is
now.
Wo do not hesitate to claim for Gon.
Grant the same position and the same
general character which thus com
mended Washington to the confidence
and support of the American people.
His services to the country have not
been less important, and the spirit and
temper in which they have boon ren
dered, have been equally disinterested,
and equally patriotic. Ho stands
equally aloof from the mere party con
tests vf the day, while neither his ac
tions nor his language havo loft. any
room for doubt, that his sympathies
are wholly with those who gave their
support to the nation in its life and
death struggle with rebellion. And
more perhaps, than any other single
act of his life, the temper and manner
in which he accepted the surrender of
GeNeral Lee and the Confederate ar
my and the Confederate cause mark
him as the man, above all others, best
able to lead the nation to a just, solid,
arid abiding peace.
True, Every Word.
We like to find such honest truths
as the following in leading party pa
pers. We copy from the Harrisburg
Daily State Guard, Republican :
"Is it not time that politics should
be made more than a mere game, at
which the trickster alone can succeed ?
Lying, cheating, stealing, intemper
ance, fofgery, and the vilest corrup
tions that ever brought any people to
digrace, now characterize American
politics. The loaders of all parties
seem to act and believe that they were
specially selected to defraud each oth
er and degrade the people. Elections
are conducted by ono or both parties
as if the only thing to be done was to
cheat, the people—to take advantage of
the masses—to misrepresent constitu
ency—and to riot and grow fat in cor
ruption. All this is tho fault.of the
people. They have the power to pre
vent it, bat either hesitate or are too
cowardly to interfere. The manufac
turer, tho merchant, the farmer, the
mechanic and laborer are aware that
the Government costs too much money
—they see millions squandered—they
behold fraud dignified—they oven bow
down to corruption, while the country,
like a drunken man, is reeling on, on,
on, to God knows whatkind of a doom.
It is time the people were awakened
to their real situation—time that the
people begin to govern. The trouble
now is, so few. of those not actually
wielding power, take an interest in the
affairs of government. The masses
groan—labor is pining and starving—
manufacturers aro on the verge of
bankruptcy—and when appeals aro
made for relief, the people aro answer
ed in sophistical discussions of abstract
questions of Constitutional rights—
thus literally giving the starving stone
instead of bread. Ile who cannot see
fearful danger ahead from these causes,
is a blind watcher of the progress of
nations. As we are now governed, the
logical end of public affairs must be dis
astrous."
HORRITILE AF.URDER, OF A CITIZEN OF
1 - lAttaisnurto.—Captain Rohrer, whose
father resides in ilarrihburg, mystori,
ously disappeared from Pottsville about
two months since. At the time ho had
two partners in the coal business.
There wore suspicions of foul play, but
nothing was known definitely until
this morning, when the father received
the sad intelligence that the body of
his murdered son was thrown into the
Marshfield Coal Slope, which is about
five bundled feet, deep, and filled with
water. It is now being pumped out,
The son of one of the partners of tho
deceased_ divulged the terrible crime.
All Lho parties implicated have been
arrested. The motive for the murder
is supposed to have been to socuro a
certain valuable coal lease. The names
of the mailers are Smith & Albrighton.
Captain • Rohrer was a young mar.
ried man of•unblemished reputation.
The Ohio State Journal speaking for
the Republicans at the Capital of that
State, is "rejoiced to hear" that the
Supreme Court Bill, which passed the
Lower House of Congress, "will be
killed by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee." It says the Republicans in
Ohio are opposed to it.

The Active Force of the Army.
Washington, Jan. 22.—The passage
of the Military Reconstruction bill by
tho House leads to a very natural in
quiry as to the present disposition and
number of tho troops comprising the
active army of the United States. The
following statement shows this by de
partments, and in a concise form :

He is seeking evidently a little more notoriety.

Important from Washington.
Washington Jan. 23d.—Tho Com
mittee on Reconstruction this morn
ing agreed upon the following bill, to
be hereafter reported :
Be it enacted, etc., That the appellate
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of
the United States shall not extend to
any act done, or which shall be done,
or to any proceeding had, or which'
shall be had, under and by virtue of
the act entitled "An act to provide for
the more efficient government of the
rebel States," passed ➢larch 2, 1867, or
of the several acts supplementary
thereto ;and all such cases now pen
ding in the court, either •by appeal or
otherwise, from a❑y decision or pro
ceeding had in the premises, in any
district or circuit court of the United
States, shall be dismissed by said Su
prod° court ; and no record of any
proceeding had, or which may be had,
before either district commanders; un
der either of said acts, shall be remov
ed to or reviewed in any
. other tribu
nal, either upon habeas corpus, quo
warranto, or in any manner whatever.
The New York TIMES' special pro
nounces the statement, said to be sup
ported by the Cabinet, thp, Grant ad
mitted that ho had agreed to hold on
until removed, as totally false. He
agreed with the President, that if ho
(Grant) was removed, Stanton would
have to resort to the courts, but he
never promised the President that he
would so remain and become a par
ty to the controversy. A subsequent
examination of the law convinced him
of the course he must pursue, and for
ty-eight hours before the Senate acted
ho waited upon Johnson of his our voli
tion and announced his determination.
Jan. 25.—Secretary Stanton has, as
yet, issued none of the orders which re
quire formality of "by the President,"
but continues to transact all other bu
siness of the Department. To day ho
had under consideration the question
of revoking the orders of General
Grant for the discontinuance of the
Freedmen's Bureau in Kentucky and
Tennessee.
The Composition of Southern Reeon
struotion Conventions.
Tho Charleston correspondent of the
Now York Times thus sums up the
pedigrees of a portion of tho members
of the State Convention now in session
for the purpose of framing a constitu
tion for South Carolina :
"You may be astonished when I tell
you that there is scarcely a Southern
white min in the convention who has
the character enough to keep him out
of the penitentiary. I will not men
tion names, but 0130 was pointed out
to me to day who is under indictment ' 1
for stealing a cow. He was formerly
an overseer on a largo plantation, but
was dismissed on account of cruelty to
the slaves, and to save his life, and re
deem his reputation among the indig
nant negroes, joined a Union league.—
Another was recently fined $12,000 for
a violation of the Internal Revenue
laws, and sent to jail, after being tur
ned out of the service of the Govern
ment for stealing horses and wagons
from the planters. A third has been
recently indicted for illicitly stilling
whisky; a fourth hoisted the first, con
federate flag on Fort Sumter, was pri
vate Secretary to Governor Piekens,
and, subsequently, an enrolling officer
in the Confederate army ; and a fifth
is a fourth-class Baptist chaplain, who
used to pray that "the Yankee fleet
might be sunk to the bottomless pit.',
These are only samples. I might,with
similar information furnished me con
cerning those men, go through the list.
Fully six-tenths of the white men aro
of Northern birth, who served in our
army, or hold positions in the Bureau,
and have become eligible to office by
reason of their residence here. Some
of the negroes have also been, as I learn,
good Confederates, and beat the drum
or played the fife throughout the war,
only changing their tune to the mu
sic of the Union since they have learn
ed that it pays to bo a politician."
The Oil Prince Robbery.
Singular Indifference to Riches
The three men who were reported
as arrested at Oil Creek on suspicion
of being concerned in the $250,000
(Bennehoff) robbery have been dis
charged from custody, there being no
evidence to detain them, and at pres
ent the detectives scorn to be at fault.
While all would, for the sake of justice
gladly see the perpetrators of the out
rage clinched by the law, the feeling
against them throughout the oil re
gions is greatly mollified by the fact
that Mr. Bennehoff was not only a mi
ser who bad his hoard of wealth, but
because, from the productiveness of
his oil farm, he had the powerwhich
he exercised—of becoming an absorber
of immense amounts of money; all of
which was withdrawn Pram circulation
as soon as it passed into his hands.—
Regrets aro freely expressed because
the robbers did not get the other safe
open, so as to get the money in circu
lation, now that it is so much needed.
Mr. Bennehoff owes the disaster (he is
too wealthy for it to be called a cala
mity) to'his own short-sighted, avari
cious disposition. Distrustful of all
mankind, penurious as when pinched
by penury, he refused to use his im
mense wealth to profit him and aid his
fellow-men by allowing it to circulate
through the marts of trade. The
great wonder is how he could ever
have spared money enough to buy the
safes.—Trio .Dispatch, Jan. 21.
Bennehoff is said to bo worth coven
million dollars, and has an income of
over ono thousand dollars a day—even
in these times of petroleum dullness.—
The Bennehoff family live in an old
farmhouse in a most desolate region,
unprotected. It is said Bennehoff re
gards the loss of this $250,000 with no
more concern than a man would who
had his pocket picked of $lO.
It was said by Mr. Merrick, one of Suratt's
counsel, in tho Washington court, on Tues
