The Huntingdon journal I. R. DURBORROW, llU*' ..t TINGDON, PENN'A, dednesday Morning, April 26, 1871 ifirAn election for territorial officers was held in Washington, on Thursday last. which resulted in the choice of Claipman. Republican, as delegate t; Congress by over 4000 majorit- j. Of the twenty-;m 0 LegisisE;:-. a delegates elected, fillecn arc Republicans and seven Dew .hats. *..The material, presses, types, good will, etc., of the Bedford County Press. located at Bloody Run, are for sale. This is an excellent opportunity for some good printer to get into a paying position. The Press has a large circulation and its adver tising patronage is good. lir - The editor of the Monitor announces. in last week's issue, that he has given up the idea of getting a power press at this time. We are sorry that the Demo cratic party has not r es ponded more liber ally to his calls for material aid. Mr. Cornman hai done much for the Monitor and more for the Democratic party, and a favorable response to his requests for ad vauoement was to be expected. tieL,The Bedford Gazette gives notice that a lost ear drop will be restored if the fair owner, will apply at that office and, by way of reward, kiss the "devil." The "one more unfortunate" requests us to say that she considers it a great imposition to ask her to go to h-ades to kiss an imp, but steep as it is she would be willing to yield the unreasonable demand, if she were not afraid that the local would undertake to "play the devil." .The Beaver Radical says : "A scamp has been swindling the farmers in the eastern part of Washington county by claiming to be the agent of a cement com pany, and through representations they are induced to sign certain papers which turn out to be negotiable notes, and the swin dler then disposes of them. Let the peo ple of other sections be on the look out for him." Judging from the Common Pleas record of our last court the same kind of a dodge has been recently practiced in this county. Our farmers would do well to keep a sharp eye on all "agents," and put their signa tures to no papers whatever. THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS AND THE Yu KLUK. The Democratic press is becoming fear fully alarmed at the position in which the party is placed by the Ku Klux outrages. It is only another vindication of the old adage: "Chickens go home to roost." The Democratic press has persistently in sisted, for the last eighteen months or two years, that there were no such outrages and thereby encouraged the perfidious mid night assassins. known as the Ku Klux, in their horrid work, and now, when the overwhelming testimony of more witnesses than were represented to have been sum moned to show why Georgia by no means could nor should enter the celestial gates, are produced. to establish the facts, daily reported, they whine like whipped span iels, and assail those in whose hands an outraged people have committed the task of redress in a most frantic manner and deny sworn statements and impugn the motives of men as if all men were of their political creed. Gentlemen of the Democratic press, you are, in a great measure, responsible fur these outrages by your persistent vindica tion of the authors of the deviltry which has made the South a reproach to the civ ilised world, and you must bear it. The people mean to hold you to account. R. C. McMURTRIE AND THE REVISED STATUTES. A lawyer in Philadelphia, named R. C. lleaurtrie, is very much concerned, ap parently, in regard to the Revised Statutes, reported by Messrs. Hall and Derrickson, Commissioners, appointed by the Gover nor, to Revise the Civil Code of Pennsyl vania. We are not acquainted with Mr. McMurtrie, nor do we remember of ever having heard of him, with a single excep tion, until we saw his assault upon the re port in question. Then, if we remember cor rectly, he was one of the counsel for the Cred it Mobillier of America, a corporation organ. ized under the laws of Pennsylvania, which was attempting to swindle the State out of lOW four or five hundred thousand dollars, And, if we are not mistaken, this same Crectit Mobillier business is the secret of the malicious attacks upon the Code Com missioners. It is, we 'have no doubt, the inspiration of Mr. McMurtrie's far-fetched and unjust conclusions. Governor Geary, Hon. Francis Jordan and Hon. L. W. Hall, the former as Gov ernor, and the latter as counsel for the Commonwealth, were determined that the little game of Mr. McMurtrie's clients, to swindle the State, should not succeed. and the large sum of money named has so far been saved to the State. Hon. L. W. Hall is a brother and Hon. Francis Jordan a brother-in-law of Hon. Wm. M. Hail, one of the Commissioners, and Mr. Mc- Murtrie intends to revenge himself upon the former by assailing the report made in part by the latter. This, to say the least, is a very small business. We have no hesitation in saying that the portion of it I prepared by Hon. Wm. M. Hall will re main as a monument of his great legal ability and acumen when Mr. McMurtrie and his Credit Mobillier will be forgotten. We have read this gentleman's criticisms, and we have come to the conclusion that they could only be prompted by some such motive as the above. It is apparent in every line. Out side of this, if Mr. Mc- Alurtrie knows what he means himself he is the only man that does; and, in short, lie is not a candid critic for the purpose of aiding in the perfection of a necessary work, but is actuated, we have not a par ticle of doubt, by personal malice. We give this explanation of this gentle man's violent assault upon this great work, because we believe it to be due to the pro fession at large, that this sort of criticism Amid be underatoxi and valued accord ingly FRANCE. The news from Prance remains, tip to the latest dates, but little changed, and is as hopelessly sickening and hem:l-rending as could well be conceived br imagined. Insurrection, murder, rap;xe and death hold high carnival with oat any hand to stay them. Beleagur :e d cities, burning villages, smoklng rr.ins, famine, pestilence, misery, de,,tructi• o n and death, are the sad featur es pres , :xted daily, of this terrible e.'ondition o affairs, and the bloody work still goer : on. The public highways are :Frowde d with fugitives whose way is blocked by :le intervention of dead carcasses, wb ile defenceless women and children are being consumed beneath the piles of their burning houses where they had vainly sought for shelter. A recent:dispatch says : "The wildest excitement prevails in Par s, and the inhabitants are leaving by thou muds. All the churches are closed, but the war on the sacred edifices still contin ues, and the priests are daily being insulted and imprisoned Almost every church in the city has been pillaged. The road to St. Denis is choked with fugitives from Paris." More recent dispatches say, "fighting still continues, and in a bloody character." Large numbers of civilians have been killed in the recent engagements. Another rev olution is imminent. Barricades are scat tered throughout Paris, and a permanent court martial has been instituted by the Commune, which is in constant session, in imitation of the Revolutionary Tribunal, founded in 1793, by Marat and Robes pierre, after the fall of the Girondists. ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS, The first SCSion of the Forty-second Congress closed on Thursday last, at two o'clock, P. u. The session consumed more than six weeks. The passage of the Ku Klux Bill, (so called), was about the only business of interest or importance transact ed. The consideration of this bill occupied the greater part of the session. It is supposed that the Senate may be convened in executive session about the middle of next month, by which time the Joint High Commission will have con cluded their labors. THE APPORTIONMENT BILL.

To the Senate and House of Representa- 1 have the honor to submit herewith, to the two houses of Congress, the report of the commissioners appointed in pursuane3 of joint resolution approved January 12, 1871. - - - It will be observed that this report more than sustains all that I have heretofore said in regard to the productiveness and healthfulness of the republic of San Domin go; of the unanimity of the people for an nexation to the United States,and of their peaceable character. It is due to the public, as it certainly is to myself, that I should here give all the cir cumstances which first led to the negotia tion of a treaty for the annexation of the republic of Sail Domingo to the United States. When I accepted the arduous and responsible position which I now hold, I did not dream of instituting any steps for the the acquisition of insular possessions. 1 believed, however, that our institutions were broad enough to extend over the en tire continent as rapidly as other peoples might desire to bring themselves under our protection. I believed, further, that we should not permit any independent Govern ment within the limits of North America to pass from, a condition of independence to one of ownership or protection. under an European Power. Soon after my inauguration as President, I was waited upon by an agent of President Baez with a proposition to annex the Re pulic of S-ill Domingo tithe United States. This gentleman represented the capacity of the island, the desire of the people and their character and habits about as they have been described by the commissioners, whose report accompanies this message. He stated further that being weak in num bers and poor in purse they were not Capa ble of developing their great resources; that the people had no, incentive to indus try on account o the lack of protection for their accumulations; and that if not accept ed by the United States, with institutions which they loved above those of any other nation, they would be compelled to seek protection elsewhere. To these statements I made no ,eply, and gave no indication of what I thought of the proposition. Is the course of time I was waited upon by a second gentleman from San Domingo. who made the same representations, and who was received in like manner. In view of the facts, which had been laid before me, and with an earnest desire to maintain the "Monroe doctrine," I be lieved that I would be derelict in my duty if I did not take measures to ascertain the exact wish of the Government and inhabi-. tants of the Republic of San Domingo in regard to annexation, and communicate the information to the people or the United States. Under the attending circumstance: I felt that if I turned a deaf ear to this appeal I might in future be justly charged with a flagrant neglect of the public inter ests and an utter disregard of the welfare of a down-trodden race, praying for the blessings of a free and strong government, and for protection in the•enjoyment of' the fruits of their own industry. Those opponents ofannexation, who have heretofore professedto be pre-eminently the friends of the rights of man, I believed would be my must violent assailants if Ine glected so clear a duty. Accordingly, af ter having appointed a commissioner to visit the island, who declined on account of sick ness. I selected asecond gentleman, in whose capacity, judgment and integrity I had, and have yet, the most unbounded confi dence. He visited San Domingo, not to secure or hasten annexation, but unpreju diced and unbiased to learn all the facts about the government, the people and the resources of that Republic. He went certainly as well prepared to make an unfavorable report as a favorable one, if the facts warranted it. His report fully corroborated the views of previous commissioners, and upon its receipt I felt that a sense of duty, and a due regard for our great national interests, require me to negotiate a treaty for the acquisition of the Republic of San Domingo. As soon as it became publicly known that that such a treaty had been negotia ted, the attention of the country was oc cupied with allegations calculated to pre judice the merits of the case, and with as persions upon those whose duty had con nected them with it. Amidst the public excitement thus created, the treaty failed to receive the requisite two-thirds vote of the Senate, and was rejected. But wheth er the action of that body was based wholly upon the merits of the treaty, or might not have been in some degree influenced by such unfounded allegations, could not be known by the people, because the de bates of the Senate in secret session are not published. Under these circumstan ces, I deemed it due to the office which I hold, and due to the character of the agents who had been charged with the in vestigation, that such proceedings should be had as would enable the people to know the truth. A commission was therefore constituted, under authority of Congress, consisting of gentlemen selected with spe cial reference to their high character and capacity for the laborious work entrustei to them, who were instructed to visit the spot and report upon the facts. Other eminent citizens were requested to accom pany the commission, in order that the people might have the benefit of their views. Students of science and corres pondents of the press, without regard to political opinions, were invited to join the expedition, and their numbers were limited only by the capacity of the vessel. The mere rejection by the Senate of a treaty negotiated by the President, only indicates a difference ,of opinion between two co-ordinate departments of the Gov ernment, without touching the character or wounding the pride of either. But when such rejection takes place simultan eously with charges openly made of cor ruption on the part of the President, or of those employed by him, the case is dif ferent. Indeed, in such case, the honor of the nation demands investigation. This has been accomplished by the report of the commissioners herewith transmitted, and which fully vindicates the purity of the motives, and actions of those who re presented the United States in the negoti ation. And now my task is fin'shed, and with it ends all personal solicitude upon the subject. My duty being done, yours be gins; and I gladly hand over the whole matter to the judgment of the American people, and of their representatives in Congress assembled. The facts will now be spread before the country, and a deci sion rendered by that tribunal whose con victions so seldom err, and against whose will I have no policy to enforce. My opinion remains unchanged—indeed, it is confirmed by the report—that the interests of our country and of San Domingo alike invite the annexation of that republic. In view of the difference of opinion upon this subject I suggest that no action be taken at the present session beyond the printing and general dissemination of the report. Before the next session of Congress the people will have considered the subject and formed an intelligent opinion concern ing it; to which opinion, deliberately made up, it will be the duty of every depart ment of the Government to give heed, and no one will more cheerfully conform to it than myself. It is not only the theory of our Constitution that the will of the peo ple constitutionally expressed is the su preme law, but I have ever believed that "all men are wiser than any nne man ;" and it the people, upon a full iresentation of the facts, shall decide that the annexa tion of the republic is not desirable, every department of the Government ought to acquiesee iu that decision. In again slibmitting to Congress a sub ject upon which public sentiment has been divided, and which has been made the occasion of acrimonious debates is Con gress, as well as of unjust aspersions else where, I may, I trust, be indulged in a single remark. No man can hope to per form duties so delicate and responsible as pertain to the Presidential office without sometimes incurring the hostility of those who deem their opinions and wishes treat ed with insufficient consideration ; and he who undertakes to conduct the affairs of a great government as a faithful public servant., if suFlained by the approval of his own cobscience, may rely with confi dence upon the candor and intelligence of a free people, whose best interests be has striven to subserve, and can bear with patience the censure of disappointed men.

When General Grant invest ed it, a canal was cut across the peninsula opposite to afford a passage for gunboats. It was a failure then, but the current is now rapidly deepening and widening the cut off, and unless a revetment is built. at a great expense, the harbor of Vicksburg— one of the best on the river—may become a sand bank. Here is something to make a note of: Mr. French has just completed the second year of hi.: administration as Sargeant-at- Arms of the United States Senate. His expenditures for the past year are set down at $68.630 48 against the expenditure of his predecessor, which was 8154.224 68, being a net annual saving of $85.549 20, a sum in excess of the present total expeo,- . ditnre. A gentleman in Pittsburgh has invented a telegraphic signal for railway trains, It is said to be very simple, and conveys instant warning to the engineer in case of real or apprehended danger.

Through struggiatind suffering, at the cost of multiform agonies, bereaveinents, devastations, the American Idea embodied in the preamble to our fathers' Declaration of Independence , approaches its complete re diva 'llia noble, inspii ing assertion that *all men are cinatod equid,r and endowed by their , 'rector with inallen alite tafife, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, le Imo, a glittering generality, a poet's fancy, a philoe ophapecidation, buttbereeognised base of our politi cal fabric. The benign Revolution, which dates from the Boston Massacre of 177 u, Ands its logical completion, Just I one century later, in the XVth Amendment, which gives to the equal political and civil rights of every man born or naturalized in our Republic the shield and defense of the Federal Constitution. Tho billows of Caste and Privilege may roar and rage around that rock, and may transiently seem on the poin of washing it away; but its foundations are deep laid and steadfast, and the breakers of Reaction ' and slavery ace hurled against and dash their spray over THEO. H. CREMER, Secretary. We do not underrate the forces of Prejudice and Aristoc racy. We do sot for .et that a vary large miaoriy of the American 'People still hold In their inmost hearts that Blacks have no rights which Whites are bound to respect. We fully appreciate the desperation wherewith all the war. ring elements of hatred to Republican achievement will be combined and hurled against the battlements of Republi can ascendency of We do not doubt that local suc cesses, facilitated by Republican feuds and dissensions, will inspire the charging host with a sanguine hope of victory, each as nerved it to put forth its utmost strength in the earlier stages of the contests of 1864 and Inns. Yet our faith is clear and strong that the American People still bless God that, on the red battle-flelds of our late Civil War, the Union was Imbed and Slavery destroyed, and will never consciously decide that theprecious blood there on poured out was lavished in rain. Tun novae believes in the prosecution of the great struggle by legitimate means to beneficent encle. To State Sovereignty, it opposes indissoluble National Integrity ; to Slavery for Blacks, Liberty for All; to Proscription, En franchisement; to Popular Ignorance, Universal Educe. G.; to intensity and eternity of Wrathful Hate, universal and invincible Good Will. It would fain do it utmost to hasten the glad day when the South shall vie with the North in exultation and gratitude over the disappearance of the bet trace or taint of that !pieta which !Minded blep to malt in the ownership and chattelhood Whit" fellow Man. 0 rEil COATINGS, JOAN R. KEMP. Profoundly do we realized that the co;tesiTsOot7.7 ended—that 31illion3 mourn, more or loss publicly, the downfall of the Slaveholdem' Confederacy, and rear their children to hate those by whose valor and constancy its overthrow man achieved. if we ever seem to differ ease°. tinily from other Republicans, our conviction that magna nimity is never weakness, that vengeance is never politic, and thatdmils are not cast out by ISeelketonb, Must serte to explain allegea eccenfricities whole perfect vindication we leave to Time and Reflection. Tea TEIDENE has been, is, and tenet be, a zealous advo cate of Protection to Home Industry. Regarding habitual idleness as the greatest foe tobitunan program, the bane of human happiness, ma seek to win our countrymen in masses from the ensnaring lures of Speculation, of Traffic, and of alwaye overcrowded Prole...ions, to the .tranquil petite of Productive Industry. Wit would gladly deplete' our overcrowded cities, where thousands vainly jostle and crowd in misguided quest of "Something to Du " to cover prairies and plains with colonies absorbed in Agriculture, Mechanics and Manufactures, and constantly projecting into the blank, void wilderness the bonne and the works of civilized Man. Holding the Protection of Home Indus try by discriminating duties on imported War. and Fab rics essential to the rapid, beneficient diffusion of Produc tion in all its phased and departments, and' so to the in struction of our people in all the violet arts of Peace, we urge our countrymen to adhere to and uphold that policy in undoubting faith that the true. interest, nut of a class or a section, but of each section and every useful class, is thereby enbserved and promoted. Tan Tann::a aims to be preeminently a Newspaper. Its eorrespondents traverse every Slate, are present on every important battle-field, age early advised of every no able Cabinet decision, observe the proceedings of Congress, of Legislatures. and of Conventions, and report to as by tele graph all that seems of general inierest. We have paid for one day's momentous advic. from Europe by Cable far more then our entire receipts for the issue in which those advices reached our readers. If lavish outlay, un sleeping vigilance, and unbounded faith in the liberality and discernment of the reading public, will enable us to maka a journal which has no superior in the accuracy, variety, and freshness of its contents.
