Wednesday Morning, Jan. 17, 1872
Edr The Republican State Central Com
mittee will meet in Harrisburg, at four
o'clock, on Thursday afternoon, the 25th
instant.
Ds_ Major General - Henry Wagner Hal
leck is dead. He has always been a firm
patriot and faithful soldier, and deserved
well of his country.
Im. After a severe contest, the Hon.
John Sherman, of Ohio, has bean re-elected
to the U. S. Senate, by a handsome major
ity on joint ballot of the Ohio legislature.
This is his third term.
n Es . rc is thought, by some wicked per
sons, that Hon. John Cessna will be a can
didate for the Legislature, in the Bedford
and Fulton district. They intimate that
John is ready for a new contest.
1101.. On last Wednesday Hon. Geo. W.
Hamtnersley, Republican, was elected
Chief Clerk of the Senate, by the vote of
Mr. Randall, Democrat. The other sub
ordinate officers hold over from last session.
Dar The U. S. Senate have refused to
admit to the Military Academy at West
Point, six Japanese youths, whose expen
ses were to -be paid by their Government.
The resolution went over, bat may yet be
reconsidered.
Neu Gen. Sherman and Lieut. Grant
have had a private audience with the
Spanish King. An expression of confi
dence in the perpetuation of amicable re
lations between Spain and the United
States, was made by his majesty.
ea. The reported firing into a U. S.
vessel by the Spaniards, has created a good
deal of indignant feeling at Washington,
and throughout the country. The Govern
ment is waiting for official information tie
fore taking action in the premises.
ate' The Standing Committees have
been announced in both Houses of the
Pennsylvania Legislature. We notice that
oar member, Gen. F. H. Lane, has been
appointed on the following Committees:—
Railroads, Claims, Corporations, and Mil
itary.
ne,,. The impression - is daily growing in
breadth and depth that President Grant
will be re-nominated for the office of Chief
Magistrate of the nation. Colfax and
Boutwell are among the prominent names
rsed in connection with the Vice Presi
dency.
sm. The system of Civil Service propo
sed by the commission authorized by Con
gress, gives very general dissatisfaction
among Republicans throughout the coun
try. Congress will decline to enact it into
law until material changes are made in the
present programme.
DER„. The Star, a new two cent daily
paper, has just made its appearance in
Cincinnati, Ohio. The copy before us is
a very neat and sprightly one. In case any
of our readers should desire a good and
cheap Cincinnati daily we would recom
mend the Star. Price $6 per annum.
Address, Star, Cincinnati, Ohio.
M.. Our friend, John M. Reynolds,
Esq., of Bedford, has been placed in nom
ination, by the Democracy, for the Legis
lature, in place of Hon. J. W. Dickerson,
deceased. Mr. Reynolds is a young man
Of fine talents, and should Fulton county
concede his nomination, he will, in all
probabilitieii, be elected and make an ex
cellent representative. The Republicans
have not yet manifested their preference.
gam. The Franklin Repository, which
has, for mady years, been one of the neat
est and finest specimens of the newspaper
art, comes to us again enlarged and im
proved. The citizens of Franklin county
appear to fully appreciate that to keep up
a good newspaper they must subscribe lib
erally and pay decent rates for advertising,
and the result is that they have the hand
somest county paper in the State. We
wish all connected with it abundant sue-
sm. We have received a copy of a new
paper started at Renovo, Clinton county,
by Mr. Shaffer, which looks well and will
prove of great advantage to the enterprise
of that place. Our friend, Doctor Ash
mom, publishes a history of that town, which
is very interesting. We also notice that
our friend, Win. C. Hollahan, Esq., is
making his mark over there. That's right,
Captain. We welcome the Record to our
exchange list.
em„, We had the pleasure of a visit from
F. PaoTzmAN, ESQ., Business Manager of
the Iron World Publishing Company, of
Pittsburgh, Pa., and found him a most
genial and pleasant gentleman. This Com
pany publish the Iron World and Manu
facturer, a paper devoted entirely to the
iron interests. It should be in the hands
of every iron manufacturer in the country.
John Morrison Davis is the chief editor.
The Company also publish the ainerkan
Working People, a monthly for the work
ingmen. Mr. Protzman is of the opinion
that Huntingdon bas advantages for the
manufacture of iron second to none in the
State.
so. Hon. John Dean held his first reg
ular Court, in this place, last week, and
his manner of dispatching business, his
regularity, his courtesy to everybody and
his clear and pointed charges won golden
opinions for him. lie held all criminals
to a strict accountability, and the result
was that the whisky business was almost
ruined. This was so new and strange that
everybody was agreeably surprised. A
criminal docket, of sixty eases, was cleared
up by Thursday evening, including a civil
case or two, and then the civil list was ma
terially cut down. The lawyers have found
themselves with, their hands full,•and we
suspect with more fees in their pockets
than for any Court for some years. The
universal verdict of the people is that the
new Judge is "pushing things."

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15, 1872.
RE-ASSEMBLING OF CONGRESS.
During the first few days after the re
cess there was nothing of importance done
in either branch of Congress. Many of
the members have not returned, and im
portant measures were not brought forward.
The Income tax was introduced in he
House, on a motion by Mr. Kellogg, of
Connecticut, to have the tax repealed, but
on taking the vote the motion was lost,
to 70. Over eighty members were absent.
The question will come up again after the
members had all returned. It was curi
ous to note that the Free Traders all voted
against the repeal. They are determined
that there shall be no reduction of taxation
that does not begin with the Tariff; and
this will be their game when the question
of a repeal of the Income tax comes up
again, for consideration and action.
Gen. Morgan, a Democratic member of
the House, from Ohio, introduced a Con
stitutional Amendment to make foreigners
eligible.to the Presidency and Vice Presi
dency. It failed of the requisite two-thirds
vote, being 81 for and 65 against the
amendment. A good many Democrats, a
few Republicans, and some demagogues on
both sides voted for the amendment. The
movement is generally believed to be in
the interest of Carl Schurz.
CARL SCHURZ.
On the re-assembling of Congress after
the holidays Carl Schurz occupied nearly
the whole of the first day of the Senate in
a personal defence of his political career
since be came to this country. The New
York Times, and other papers, looking at
his present opposition to the President,
had stated substantially that he never was,
at heart, a Republican, but connected him
self with the party, after his arrival in this
country, Only to carry out his own selfish
objects. It was charged, as stated in our
last issue, that he went into the Republi
can campaign in 1860, only on the pro
mise of large pay, which he received; that
he soon after that demanded and received
the appointment of Minister to Spain;
that he returned after the war commenced
and denianded and received not a brigadier
but a Major-Generalship; resigned this
commission and went to Missouri, but soon
came back to Washington a United States
Senator; and finally succeeded in dividing
the Republican party in Missouri and pro
curing the election of his friend to the
Senate.
In attempting to defend himself from
these and other charges in the Senate, he
only made the matter worse; for it was
made clear in his defence, that he has all
along used the most unscrupulous means
to secure his own personal ends by the
elevation of himself and his relatives to im
portant official positions. His defence is
pronounced by nearly every person as a
failure to Blear himself of the charges
made. Even hiz own countrymen here,
prominent men of intelligence, have turn
ed their backs upon him, and deurounce
his course in severe terms. He is politi
cally dead.
TH TARIFF,
The Senate Finance Committee have a
report modifying the tariff on certain arti
cles, prepared and ready to be submitted.
.The House Committee of Ways and
Means are keeping up a cross-fire among
themselves, on the subject of a modification
"Of the tariff, and have not yet decided de
finitely upon any specific reductions.
It is more than probable that very few
ehanges will be made in the tariff during
the present session of Congress. At least
that is the general opinion entertained by
close observers of the popular sentiment of
the majority in Congress.
BOIITWELL'S FUNDING BILL,
The Secretary of the Treasury has cause
to congratulate himself upon the entire
success of his scheme for funding the Pub
lic debt,
The London banking firms of Roths
childs and Jay Cooke & Co., have perfect
ed the purchase from Secretary Boutwell,
through Governor Cooke, of $600,000,000
of the new loan. They take the remain
ing $300,000,000 of new five per cents.
and the $300,000,000 of four and-one-half
per cents. This leaves only $700,000,-
000 of the four per cents, yet in the mar
ket, and this the same bankers agree to
take if the United States will pay the in
terest thereon at London.
FOREIGN YOUTHS NOT TO BE ADMITTED
AT WEST POINT,
By a vote of the U. S. Senate on Tues
day, Japanese youths are refused admis
sion at West Point. Mor.4, the Japanese
Minister, is making an effort to have the
vote reconsidered.
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.
The semi-annual convention of the Na
tional Woman's Suffrage Association was
iu convention in Washington, during last
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Prom
inent among the delegates on the stand
were Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan
B. Anthony, Mrs. Joslyn Gage. Laura De
Force Gordon, Martha C. Wright, Mrs.
Dr. Mary Walker, Victoria C. Woodhull,
Mrs. Sarah J. Spencer, Mrs. Belva A.
Lockwood, Mrs. Elizabeth Bladen, of Phil
adelphia, correspondent of the Philadel
phia Post, Mrs. Matilda M. Ricker, of
Dover, N. H., Laura C. Smith of Califor
nia, lecturer ; Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hook
er, Mrs. Elizabeth Wright, of Philadel
phia, sister of Lucretia Mott; and others
prominent in the woman's movement.
Three daily sessions were held, and a
great deal of visionary nonsense expressed.
Vie. C. Woodhull presented and read a
New Constitution for the United States,
which she prophesied would be adopted
before the first Centenary Celebration of
our country will take place. The specific
object of the convention was to secure the
passage by Convess of :an act declaring
women to be "citizens" within the mean
ing of recent amendments to the constitu
tion.
MRS. POLLARD AGAIN IN COURT,
A Mr. Lyan opened a hotel in Wash
ington over a year ago, under the name of
the "St. Cloud" and placed Mrs. Pollard
in control, in whose name-it was timduct
ed. Lynn soon charged Mrs. Pollard with
improper intimacies with certain guests,
and in a fit of jealousy created a row in
the house; and used language toward Mrs.
P. which she claimed had damaged her
character. She sued, placing damages at
$lO,OOO, which the jury allowed in full.
There will probably be a new trial.
OUR DIFFICULTIES WITH SPAIN
Senat* Cameron, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, says he does not
apprehend any serious difficulty in our
relatiOns with the Spanish Government,
lthough he affirms that the United States
will not yield one iota in demanding re
dress for outrages. The matter in dispute
will, he believes, be amicably settled.
Gen. Banks, Chairman of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, is firmly of
opinion that Cuba should be independent,
and the action of his Committee will urge
that policy.
WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
The National Metropolis is all ablaze
with afternoon receptions and evening par
ties. Mrs. Grant, the wives of the Cabi
net Ministers, and of Foreign Ministers,
and Mrs. Colfax and Mrs. Blaine have
weekly receptions, while many others en
tertain, at less frequent intervals. The
President's receptions have just been an
noutreed for January 18th, February let
and 15th. The City is snore than usually
gay this winter.
MRS. WI ARTON'S TRIAL.
This important trial is still dragging
along. Much of the testimony of the de
fence goes to show, first, that the analysis
of the contents of the stomach of General
Ketchum was incomplete and proved noth
ing , and secondly, that Gen. Ketchum
died from natural causes. The latter point
is w.pported by reference to parallel cases
of natural death, where the symptoms were
similar to those in his case. The public
mind is not changed, but it is more than
probable that the jury will disagree.
Ku-Klux "Respectability."
The story of recent atrocities perpetrat
ed by the Ku-Klux Klan must strike any
reader with unmitigated horror. At the
trials held in Columbia, S. C., the evi
dence brought to light various details which
fill up the measure of the iniquity of that
body, and even increas the loathing and
detestation with which every honest and
humane man must regard it. If the series
of rapes, murders, cruelties, indecencies and
other atrocities had been executed by men
with no pretention to good family and re
spectability, the case would still have been
bad enough. How infinitely worse is it
when, according to the testimody produc
ed before Messrs. Stanbery and Johnson,
these outrages were performed under the
sanction of men of more than average in-
telligence, held in esteem by people as
suming to be respectable! That testimony
showed that one of these men was a fair
specimen of the average planter of the up
country of South Carolina, a man of good
rtanding and fair rqutation. Another
instigator of the infernal enormities which
have been lately perpetrated, was a physi
cian, belonging to a good family and much
respected in his professiobal practice. The
first count of the indictment charged these
men merely with a general conspiracy to
prevent, by violence and other unlawful
means, colored citizens, from exercising
the right of suffrage- The second count
charged' them with making a raid upon
Charles Leach, a colored man, and w i th
whipping him, both for voting the Radi
cal ticket in . 1870, and to prevent him
from voting the same ticket in future. The
testimony against these two "respectable"
men—the one a representative planter, the
other a representative physician, and both
held in general esteem in the community
—was so disgusting and appalling that
Messrs. Stanberry and Johnson left the
court-room, apparently unable to master
their feelings. The testimony of a Mr.
Davis also (who seems to have been pre
vailed upon to join the Kn-Klux under
misrepresentation of its real character) is
damning to the character of the associa
tion. .li.t the first meeting after his initi
ation he was appointed the scribe of the
society, and came into possession of its
constitution, by-law and other papers,
whence he erived information of a nature
to horrify and sicken him. From Mr.
Davis' testimony it appears that Charles
Good, a quiet, inoffensive, hard-working
negro blacksmith, was first whipped and
afterward tied to a sapling and shot dead
for having intimated that he knew who
some of the men were who had whipped
him. Subsequently the Chief of the Klan
in that neighborhood assembled all the as,
sociation, to the end that all might become
privy in the murder, and in their presence
the body of the murdered nog, ro was thrown
into the river and fastened to the bottom
with stakes. A fate equally shocking, in
different way, awaited the wife of Samuel
Simrall, whose husband was absent at the
time the Ku-Klux came to herhouse. This
wretched victim was first fiendishly whip
ped and then as fiendishly ravished by
four white brutes, her eyes and mouth
subsequently filled with sand, and
she
being
senseless. Jane Boheler, a white
woman, suspected of concealing colored
men from the Ku-Klux, was stripped nak
ed by some members of the association,
coated with tar and ordered to leave the
country wsth• three days on penalty
.of
I death.
To these acts the two "respectable gen
tlemen" referred to above were proved to
have been a party. The evidence against
them was overwhelming, and the jury
brought in a verdictof guijity, Will it be
believed, that in spite of all the atrocities
proved in these cases the only offense for
which the parties could be tried, was that
of conspiracy to prevent colored citizens
from voting-punish4ble, at most, with not
more than tep years imprisoement aucl five
thousand dollars fine ?
To the infamy and fiendishness of these
outrages we have heard noting compara
ble, excepting the history of the Spanish.
outrages upon Cubans during the last two
years. That these crimes against nature
and humanity should have been perpetrat
ed by ignorant and blood-thirsty villains,
without education, without family, without
standing, without a knowledge or appre,
ciation' of any of the amenities of civilezed
life, was comprehensible; that they should
be the acts of intelligent men, respected
by the community ampog which they held
fair positions, was not to be believed save
upon the revolting arid irrefragable testi
mony to which we have referred.—New
York Standard.

The Republican Natienal Cenventlen
to be Held at Philadelphia.
At a meeting of the National Republican,
Committee, held at Washington, last week,
it was decided that the National Con-.
vention should be held on Wednesday, the
7th day of June, in the city of Pbtladel
phia, and a formal call to that effect will,
be officially promulgated within a few,
days. The next National Convention, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph, will be the
fifth`only since the orgapixation of the Re-'
publican party. This circumstance reoalls
the startling fact that the great national
party which saved the - Union and abloished
slavery has just entered upon the seven
teenth year of its existence ! The first
convention by which a Republican candi
date for the Presidency was placed in nom
ination was held in Philadelphia on the
17th of June, 1856. Henry S. Lane, of
Indiana, afterwards Governor of that State
and Senator, presided over its deliberations.
Twenty-two States only were represented,
and included among this number were.
Kansas and Nebraska, neither of which
had at that time been admitted into the
Union. Delaware, Maryland, and Ken
tucky were the only slave-holding States
from which delegations dared venture.
The informal ballot for a candidate for
President stood 359 for Col. John C. Fre
mont, 196 for Judge John M'Lane, of the
United -States Supreme Court. 2 for
Charles Sumner, and 1 for William H.
Seward. On the formal ballot which fol
lowed, Fremont was unanimously nominat
ed for the first standard bearer of the Re
publican party. On an Informal ballot for
Vice President, Wm. L. Dayton, of New
jersey, received 259 votes to 290 scattered
among fourteen different candidates.
Abraham Lincoln standing second with
110 votes, Nathaniel F. Ranks third with
46 votes and David Wilmot fourth with
43 votes. A single formal ballot, however,
was sufficient to reconcile the claims of all
the aspirants,
_and William L. Dayton, of
New Jersey, who afterwards died while
residing in Paris as American Minister,
was placed on the ticket with Colonel
Fremont by a unanimous vote. The plat--
form adopted by the - Convention was an
out-and-out arraignment ofthe slave power,
the attempt of the Scluthern leaders to force
"the peculiar institution" of their seection
upon Kansas figuring most prominently in
this arraignment. Fremont and Dayton
were defeated—the vote of the Eke
torah College standinm ' 114 for them, to
174 for Buchanan and Breckinridge, and
S for Fillmore and Donelson—but this de
feat was equivalent to a victory, for it made
the slave oligarchy of the South under
stand,thatthe days of their power were
numbered, and that the recurrence of
another Presidential struggle would in all
probability result in their own pronounced
defeat. -
The second National Republican Con
vention was held in Chicago, in May,
1860, Abraham Lincoln being nominated
for Pesident on third ballot and Hanni
bal Hamlin for Vice President on the se
cond ballot. The third convention was
held in Baltimore, in June, 1864, Abra
ham Lincoln being re-nominated for Presi
dent on the first llot, and Andrew John
son being nominated for Vice President on
the second ballot. The fourth convention
assembled in Chicago, in May, 1868, Gen
eral Ulysses S. Grant being nominated for
President by acclimation, and Schuyler
Colfax for Vice President on the fifth bal
lot. And now come the preliminaries to
the fifth National Nominating Convention.
By a large class; its action on the Presi
dency is regarded as a foregone conclusion;
but whether these prophets prove true or
false, there can be no doubt of the result
of the contest at the polls. At present,
the indications of public sentiment all point
to the certain election of the Republican
ticket, and the entrusting of the Republi
can party with four years more of power.
Death of General H. W. Ha!leek
A dispatch from Louisville, Ky., an
nouncas that Major General Henry Wager
tHalleck died there at his residence, of con
gegtion of tha brain, superinduced by di
sease of the liver.
The deceased was a native of New York,
and was born in 1810. Graduating from
West Point he was appointed to the En
gineer corps as second lieutenant in 1839,
and remained at the institution as one of
its professoss until 1840. Five years al
ter he was promoted to the rank of first
lieutenant, having previously published a
work on "Bitumen. In 1846 a series
of papers on war, which -he had written,
were published under the title of "Ele
ments of Military Art and Science."
The Union College of Shencctady con
ferred won him the degree of Master of
Arts in 1848. In the Mexican war ho
served on the Lower California coast, and
was breveted Captain May 1, 1837. Be
was Secretary of California under the mil
itary government of Generals Kearney,
Mason and Riley from 1847 until Decem
ber 20, 1849.
In the latter year he was a member of
the convention to form and draft the Con
stitution of that State. He was promo
ted to be captain of engineers in 1853,
and retired from the service, in August of
the succeeding year. He practiced law in
San Francisco, and was the head of a pros
perous firm at the breakihg out of the Re
bellion. At the instance of General Scott
he was recalled from San Francisco in 1861,
and commissioned a major general of the
United States army on the 19th of August
of that year. •
He was then placed in command of the
Department of the West to relieve Gen.
Hunter. Early in 1862, after the victo
ries of Paducah, Fort Henry, Fort %n
-elson and other important state,gic points,
it became necessary to enlarge the depart-
Inent, thereby embracing all the country
for many miles on both sides of the Mis
sissippi:. •
He directed the siege of Corinth in
May, and was called to Washington and
placed at the head of the armies in the
United States, July 11, retiring in favor
of Lieutenant General Grant, in 1864.

• MERCIAL. A PAPER FOR VIE
PROPLE. The "Presidential year" is always a reading
year with the American people. it imposes extraordina
ry duties on journals froth which the people may usually
'expect pot only the news of the day, but intelligent dis
cussion of public questions and enunciation of opinions.
While this is true in a general sense, the year before no is
likely, in a political sense, to be one of unusual interest ;
the Democratic party is breaking up, and there are indi
cations of alliances and purposm altogether novel in our
polities. The elections of the past year have resulted in
almost an unbroken aeries of Republican victories. Gen.
Grant's administration has received the unequivocal in
dorsement of the American people; and there is every in
dication now that, as the Republican candidate, he will
by re-elected President. As as Ixperssitiner REPUBLICAN
PAPER the Comm:nem will in the future, as in the past,
render an undividiug support to REPINRICAN Patticleirs,
holding that the good of the Republic requires that the
Government should remain in the hands of the party that
saved it in the great life-or-death struggle. In the tutors
as in the post it will speak its own views regarding men
and measures, holding that through free diecussion only
eau safe conclusions be reached and the independence of
the press preserved. In this regard we can say simply
tliat the COMMERCIAL will be true to itself and its establish
ed character. . . .
As s NEWSPAPER, nothing will be spared to maintain
the position which the Comisnazib has always held among
the leading journals of the day, for news enterprise as well
as for Independent opinions. This year, at home or
abroad, will be full of Interest. European polities are agi
tated, and the American reader will likely find much in
them to attract his attention. At home all is life and
push. Railroads are being constructed everywhere; new
projects are almost daily proclaimed; population is in
creasing; enterprise inteßigently directed was never eo
well awanletiond the proipou for tine wonderful activities
of out country is, to gay" the least, extreinoly encouraging.
With all these things the COIMERCIAL is intimately idea
tilled, and as a /lESINESS PAPER, at the centre of the great
set manufacturing district on the continent, has con
stantly in view whatever of interest rooders may reason
ably repeat to see in its colnmns,—e.pecially CAREFULLY
