Major Norris did effective service in the last campaign, and this acknowledgment of his services is em inently proper. pea- The Constitutional Convention has fixed upon the first Tuesday, after the first Monday in November, for holding the gen eral election in each year, and the third Friday in February for holding the Spring or Municipal eleitions.

Quay, but, if half is true that is said of. his qualifications, the Governor has made a very good and popular selection. The following persons have been elected to the Senate of the United States within the last ten days : Hon. Simon Cameron, Pennsylvania; Hon. John P. Jones, Nevada; Hon. W. B. Machen, Kentucky ; Hon. Roscoe Conkling, New York ; Hon. Richard T. Oglesby, Illinois; and Hon. Timthy 0. Howe, Wisconsin. ___ The Philadelphia Pre:ss has wade its appearance'in a new suit,. One would think, from its "phiz" that it had put on spring attire—it looks so sprightly, but it is too soon for that. The Press is a live paper and We rather like its Inde pendence, though we differ from it at times. The salvation of this county depends upon the independent press. ism.. We publish the.lnaagural Address delivered by Gov. Hartranft, on taking the .oath of office, at Harrisburg, on last Tuesday, on the outside of this issue of our paper. It is , a very unassuming, straightforward State paper, covering all the various questions of State policy, to which the immediate attention of the Le gislature is desired. We commend it to the careful perusal of our readers. gra. We call the attention of our read ers to the prospectus of the New York Times published in our advertising col umns. The Times is one of the ablest of the,New York papers, and in harmony with the National administration and, • theretbre, entitled to the support of Repub licans. As a newspaper it has no supe rior. We club with the Weekly as will be seen by referenee to our club list.. lE9_ We direct attention to a call, ad vertised in this issue, for a Meeting of the Republican County Committee, on the 7th of February, proximo. The principal bu siness is to select a delegate to the State Convention. We hope the Committee will decide to hold the next County Con vention in June. We arc confident that great injury results to the Republican cause, in this county, growing out of the extremely short campaigns. Give us more time , and the work will be better 'done. 165 - By thr the most difficult problem before Congress i 9 that perplexing Louis iana cmbroglio. Complications multiply, and it is plainly manifest that Congress is puzzled to know just how to move or whether to move at all in the ease. Pinch= back is in Washington, and his credentials have been received in Congress and laid on the table fur investigation. Various schemes and propositions looking towards a settlement of the difficulty have been proposed in Congress, by different mem bers, each presenting his own views ; but none of them seem to cover the ground or fully meet the case. After all, the whole affair is simply a political embroglio, and common sense suggests that they be allow ed to fight it out without the intervention of Federal leislation, the President. in structing his army officers on the ground to rigidly preserve the peace, even if addi tional forces should be required to do so. THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH The importance of the Government Telegraph question is before both branch es of Congress. and members appear to have become fully impressed with its feasibility. The bill introduced two weeks ago to contract with a company who offer to build lines throughout the country does not meet with favor. The prevailing de sire is to place the telegraph wholly under the Government control. In the Senate, on the 20th, and in the House, on the 21st, resolutions were introduced and pass ed, instructing the proper committees "to inquire into and report as soon as practica ble the cost of construction and the pre. sent market value of existing telegraph lines now in successful operation within the United States, and the character of the franchises and special privileges connected with them ;" and also "the cost of con structing lines of equal capacity." There is a strong and growing determi nation in Congress to accomplish the ob ject proposed of placing the telegraph un der Government control. The use of the ' telegraph, it is contended, like the sun and air, should be for the benefit of the masses and not for that of monopolists. For the same reason, it is also argued, that the railroads should be controlled by the Gov ernment; and the purpose of Congress and the Administration is ultimately to bring them into this condition and reduce the rates of travel and transportation to the lowest paying tariff. The telegraph will be the first, however, to receive attention, and after its consummation the railroads will receive attention. The Government control of both of those mediums of com munication and transportation is only a matter of time. Mr. Orton, the President of the Western Telegraph Union, is using every argument and employing every means in his power to defeat the Govern ment in its purposes in reference to the control of the telegraph ; but if we may judge from the comments of independent newspapers, he is only defeating himself and damaging the interests of the compa ny. If the Government cannot purchase the Union and other lines, at a fair valua tion, new lines will be built and the fares reduced to about one-fourth of the present rates. Orton will be wise to come to terms immediately, especially as the Government is new disposed to deal liberally in a ne gotiation and purchase. But if terms cannot be arranged, it is more than proba ble that an appropriation will be made, before the Congress closes, to build an in dependent telegraph throughout the coun try. SICKLES ON CUBA. EDITOR F. I -1 ? An important dispatch from Minister Sickles to Secretary Fish, dated August 6th, 1872, has just been made public. In it the Minister gives an unreserved ex pression of his views as to the condition of affairs in Cuba, and the policy of the Spanish Government in reference to that Island. General Sickles says it is believed that all the insurgents captured are shot or garroted ; and he estimates that more than 57,000 patriots have already fallen. The Spanish. loss, he says, is not reported, but it is not less than 60.000 men since 1869. Referring to the action of the Spanish Government authorizing the Treasury of Cuba to issue bonds amounting to $60,.. 000,000, bearing 8 per cent. interest, and pledging tr the payment of the interest and principal of the loan, the war tax, estimated at $5,000,000 annually, and the surplus derived from all other sources of revenue, General Sickles, after explaining the embarrassing position in which the Government of Spain is placed financially, with reference to Cuba, says : '•lt will thus be seen that after four years of war, without quarter, in Cuba, and having exhausted the resources of that rich and pro ductive commonwealth to sustain a civil con flict, Spain is about to appeal to the civilized world to lend money on a pledge of the reve nues of the Island to continue a struggle in tended to perpetuate the slavery of the great er part of the colonial inhabitants, and com pel the unwilling allegiance of a large major ity of the sorely oppressed native population." Gen. Sickles has unreservedly expressed the truth, though he may have departed from the usual conservative course of dip lomatic etiquette. The publication of his letter at Madrid will create a sensation among the Government officials from the king downwards. If the Government at Washington pos sessed a larger amount of the spirit of General Sickles, the natives would ere this have been in full possession of the Island and its Government. All they ask is re cognition as belligerents ; but even this is denied them. THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMA- TION, An important Executive Order has been issued by the President. Tt forbids Fed eral officers from holding, at the same time, "offices under the authority of the States and Territories in which they re side, or of municipal corporations under the charter and ordinance of such corpo rittions." Justices of the pease, notaries public and commissioners to take the ac knowledgment of deeds, or to administer oaths are accepted; and the appointment of deputy marshal of the United States may be conferred upon sheriffs or deputy sheriffs, and deputy postmasters the emol uments of whose office does not exceed $6OO per annum, arc also excepted. All other Federal officerfi holding State, Ter ritorial or Municipal offices, after the 4th of March, 1873, will be considered as hav ing surrendered their Federal commissions, and treated accordingly. The principal reasons given for this order are that "the holding of two such offices, by the same person, is incompatable with a due and faithful discharge of the duties of either office." The order is timely and judicious. It is impossible for one servant to serve two masters. It is not intended, however, that Federal officers shall be debarred from a full and free expression of their political opinions ; or from partieipating in State or Federal elections, political meetings, &e. The object is rather to remove Fed eral officcis from the influences attending the acceptance of positions under State authority. It is possible that the order is a little too sweeping; if in practice this is found to be the case, a supplementary older can be issued to remedy this defect. DEs = .The Comeressional Committee of Ways and Means, after mature delibera- tion, and listening to the views of Secreta ry Boutwell and a number of prominent bankers, bare informed the Secretary of the Treasury that he is at liberty to nego tiate the balance of the 5 per cent. loan on the basis of the present loan. As there are a number of English and American firms ready to take the loan, the Secretary will shortly award the entire amount of $300,000,000, probably to one syndicate, by whom $100,000,000 will be immediate ly placed on the market. Not more than that amount will be placed on the market at any one time. Air The United States Senate took the wind out of the sails of the demagogues who control the House of Representatives, the other day. The latter body has re peatedly passed bills looking to the aboli tion of the franking privilege, but in re ality only trying to satisfy the public that the cause of its not being abolished did not lay at its door. The Senate has had enough of this kind of humbuggery. It took up the matter and passed a bill com pletely abolishing the privilege and for bidding public officers from being reim bursed by the Government. The House will wait several sessions before it passes this bill. SW In another column we publish the prospectus of the New York Tribune. Un der its present management the Tribune will endeavor to carry out the objects of its founder. It will not be a partisan or gan, but will treat all questions from an indepsndent standpoint. A'paper of this character has long been wanted, and we are happy to have so able and energetic a journal as it is to occupy the important position.

THE APPROPRIATIONS. The appropriations occupy a large por tion of the time in Congress. The legislative appropriation bill was considered in the Senate yesterday. An amendment to in crease the salaries of certain Government officers in Washington was introduced, de bated, and withdrawn. Another to in crease the pay of members of Congress to $B,OOO was laid on the table. Before it was so disposed of Mr. 3lorrill, of Ver mont, offered an amendment to the amend ment, providing that the question of the increase of compensation shall be submit ted to the popular vote at the next elec tion for members of Congress, and that unless endorsed by a majority of the peo ple the increase shall not take effect. In tho House the Vienna Exposition appropriation was reduced from $300,000, as fixed by the Senate, to $200,000. The Naval appropriation bill was under consideration yesterday and to-day in the House. APPROPRIATIONS FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS• The House Committee on appropriations have agreed to recommend the following appropriations for government buildings : For the custom house and post office in. New York, $1,940,711 91; for that in St. Louis, $1,000,000; Chicago, $2,000,- 000 ; to purchase site and commence work on that in Cincinnati, $300,000 ; . for Col umbia, S. C., $125,000 ; for Fall River, Mass., $200,000 ; for alterations and re pairs at Boston, $30,000 ; for Port Huron, Mich., $100,000; for Omaha, Neb., $71,- 000 ; for Knoxville, Tenn., $166,000 ; for general repairs to the Treasury Depart ment, $35,000. SENATORIAL NONSENSE. The House passed the Frankling Privi lege bill in which the system was to be abolished excepting in the following cases : the President, each head of a De partment, and the clerks of the two branches of Congress should each be supplied with. a stamp, and that all mail matter in either department of Congress, should be sent. under this stamp, and the amount be charged back to each by the pest office authorities. The Senate made the repeal sweeping by declaring "that no allowance shall be for postage to any Senator, member or delegate in Congress." This is too sweep ing. The proper policy lies between the two propositions. Congress should be al lowed to receive and send correspondence pertaining to their official duties free; but. tbey should 'not be permitted to load the mails with tons of printed matter. Stop that and half a million of dollars will be saved in the Government Printing Office, annually, in the printing of immense edi tions .of official documents. It may be inferred pretty safely that Congress has not the moral courage to pass such a bill as the country requires ; self interest. is consulted rather than official duty. POSTAL TELEGRAPHY The interest in this' subject increases.. The promoters of the Hubbard bill, to have new lines built by a corporation, are trying. to make every body believe that its pro visions are the most acceptable, while a. very general opinion prevails that the control should be wholly under the gov ernment. Senator Ramsey, Chairman of the Committee tltat has the matter in charge, says the people are coming up to the command for postal telegraphy, either under the control of a corporation or the government. Which it shall be is still an open question ; but that the obstacle in the way of the government control, and the only one that makes it unpopular, is the appropriation of th people money that. would be necessary under the last named system. VIE FIVE PER CENT. LOAN Secretary BoutwiAl, with the approval of Congress and the Cabinet, concluded a contract yesterday. with the leading cank ers of the world, to toad the remainder of the 5 per cent. I,onds : amounting to $;00.. 000,000. The following is the ,t7ttettient furnished by the Department: The parties to the two proposals which .have been pending before the Secretary of the, Treas ury having united, the Secretary has com pleted a contract for the negotiation of the remaining three hundred million dollars of the five per Cent. funding loan with Mess . r.s. Jay Cook & Co.. representing N. 31. Roths child & Sons, Jay Cook, McCulloch & Co.. and themselves; and with Messrs. Morton. Bliss & Co., and Drexel, Morgan & representing Messrs. Baring Bros. & Co., and J. S. Morgan & Co., Morton, Rose & Co., and themselves. THE SAN DOMINGO ENTERPRISE. The Baez contract with the company who have purchased a portion of the Island of San Domingo, binds them "to make every effort, and to take all the necessary steps toward the admission, free of duty, into the United States of America, of all pro duce and manuthctures or the Domincan Republic, that may be forwarded from Samina direct to any of the ports of the United States of America." This is a little more than Uncle Sam will feel dis posed to grant just now. Free trade would be a big fortune to those enterprising spec ulators; but they will require to exercise a little patience before the boon is con• ferret'. It is well enough, however, to ask for free trade, but it would be folly to waste large amounts in an attempt to lobby it through Congress. TIUt PROCLA3IATION OF THE PRESIDENT. The President says that his recent Or der makin g it incompatible for federal of ficers to hold; ' d. at the same time, positions .under State, Territorial or Municipal au thority, is not intended to apply to mem bers of school and educational boards, and directors of public schools. If attempts are made to interfere with federal officers holding any of these positio . ns, he will sup plement his proclamation with another order exempting gentlemen holding these positions. Many of the federal officers, especially in the South, are the principal promoters of public schools, and must not be molested. COULD NOT SWAP OFFICES. Judge Humphreys, of the District of Columbia Court, and Judge Busteed. of the District Court for Alabama. desired to change places, and sent in their resigna tions, conditional, on transfer appoint ments, which they received from the Pres ident, but which the Senate would not confirm. as their resignations were condi tional and there were, therefore, no va cancies. It was a queer project, and if carried out would have afforded a bad pre cedent. HOW NOW ? WHO'LL DECIDE ? There are two sets of Senators from Louisiana, iu Washington. awaiting recog nition. Their credentials are on file in the Senate, and it would seem that a de cision by that body must be made in the matter. Ex-Governor Warmoth is here at the Ebbitt House. ACTION ON THE GENEVA AWARD. The Judiciary Committee of the House yesterday morning agreed to report Gen. Buttler's bill for the distribution of the Geneva awards. The Committee have agreed to allow Insurance Companies pay ment for their net losses. Important amendments were also made in other re spas, and the bill was sent to the printers with instructions to be ready to-day if pos sible. A RE-A.PPOINTMENT, To-day the President sent to the Senate the names of J. C. Bancroft Davis to be Assistant Secretary of State. THE "CONSCIENCE FUND." Yesterday there was added to the con science fund at the U. S. Treasury $5OO from New York, and a $2,000 bond from Boston, through a Catholic Priest. THE CREDIT MOBILIZE INVESTIGATION. The Committees are still as work—one to investigate the charges against mem bers of Congress for bribery, and the other to ascertain whether the Mobilier and Rail road combination have not defrauded the Government. Nothing more than some curious revelations of Ames' operations among Senators, members of the House and everybody whom he could induce to buy stock, have been developed. But the investigation will be thorough. HOW THE PEOPLES' MONEY GOES. A bill passed the Senate yesterday ap propriating $30,000 to pay the expenses of investigations in regard to elections in Kansas, Louisiana and Arkansas.

Now, as heretofore, The Tethunc strives to be first of all and preeminently a news paper. The Weekly Tribune, now more titan thirty pars old, has endeavored to keep up with the progress of the age in improvement and in enterprise. It devotes a large share of its columns to Agriculture as the moat essential and general of human pursuits. It employs the ablest and most eacces.sful cultivators to set forth in brief, clear es gays their practical views of the Farmers' work. It reports public discoasions which elucidate that work ; gathers from every source agricultural news, the reporta of the latent experimenti, the stories of the latest successes and failures, and wathever may tend at once to better Agricul ture, and to commend it as the first and most important of progressive Arts, based on natnml science. There are hundreds of thousands engaged in diverse pursuits who own or rent a "place." and gleesome portion of their time to its culture and improvement. The Weekly Tribune ehows them how to make the most of their roods and their hours, both by direction and example. No in formation equal in quality or quantity can be elsewhere obtained for the price of this journal. a. 5 1 2 •1 10 The Weekly Tribune appeals also to Teachers, Students, and persons of inquiring minds, by the character of its Literary content, which include reviews of all the works proceeding from the master minds of the Old or of the s blew World, with liberal extracts from those ofespecial interest. Imaginative Literature also claim, attention, but in a sub ordinate degree. "Home Interests" are discussed weekly by a lady especially qualified to Instruct and interest her own sex,and the younger portion of the other. No col umn is more eagerly sought or perused with greater aver age profit than hers.
