In a tho House of Representatives, on Fri- <htyi-a-fleha(e-spi'fi ! hEiip-on-the-inoU<m • of'Mr. Sln'rktvcalhor. .from the Naval Committee, for the reinstatement of VT. Ij. Hnnscora, late naval constructor. Mr. Hanks asserted that Admiral Porter had “ trumped, tip charges amiin-t Mr. nan“coin,” and said that “ in the opin ion of the people of the country ilans com was ns superior in reputation to Porter, as the Apostle John was to the traitor Judas.” He also .denounced the "bureau mou of the- Navy Department as responsible for the endangering of three hundred lives in the Tennessee, whieh naval engineers were now saying was unseaworthy.” Mr. Butler follow ed Hanks, and took occasion to speak of Porter in scathing if not discreditable terms. -lie ■denounced him as a hum bug, who had trumped up a reputation by conshintly blowing bis own 'horn, Ac. Several members defended Porter- Finally a vote was taken on the 1>i)I re instating Haascom a« naval constructor, arid it passed—yeas 18, nays 07. Now, is it not a little rough to sec a ■man of Porter’s reputation its-a naval officer assault'd nearly every week in the House by tHe two cx-Oonerals of Massachusetts? Of the hundreds of humbugs and incompetents in the army during the rebellion. Banks and Butler stood at the head. Th ese two men cost the government many millions of dol lars and tens of thousands of lives. — They were not appointed to command in the army because of their military knowledge, but because of their politics. It is notorious that they both became immensely wealthy during the war, and perhaps they would have piled-up, their wealth to a still higher figure had Poi tor consented to their base designs upm conquered cities. We arc not much of an admirer of Porter, but yet we can say with truth Unit ids military career' - was as brilliant as Butler’s and Banks’ was infamous. If Porter was an honor to the na\y, the two political Generals from Massachusetts were a disgrace to the array; and it ill becomes them to speak of Admiral Porter as a Judas Is- cariot. Porter may have his faults, bu yet it is notorious that as a naval ollicei his diameter cannot be impeached. The Herald is anxious to make a little political capital out of the exposed derelictions of the County Commission ers and their former Clerk. Wo would remind the Herald , however, that the Democrats of this county, as a party, demanded the investigation that was had, and the three Democratic Auditors obeyed that demand, and instead of attempting to cover up (ho (Jishonest transactions of faithless o 115 errs, they exposed and published them. We, as the organ of the party, demanded Hie exposure, and wo also demand that every dollar stolen, from Hie enmity shall lie refunded, and the guilty ohi cers tried and punished. This is the difference between the Herald arid ’the Volunteer— wo expose all faithless offi cers, wo care not to what party (hey belong; our neighbor covers Up the villainies of its own party, lint is very quick to make a mountain out of a mole hill, when Democrats have .been tlie offenders, ' The Herald has not even alluded to the attempt recently made by flie Post Master General, Hon. John Cessna, and one Chorpenning, to steal from the Treasury a half a million of dollars. Xu, no, it has not hoard of that most infamous and daring piec;e of vil lainy.. Nor lias it alluded to the inves tigation into the tiidian frauds, which amount to millions of dollars; nor to the .-cores of robberies by carpel-bag gers in LI 10 Southern States. Xo, in deed—concerning those grand larcenies by its own party leaders the Herald is ns dumb as an adder. .Inst open yeur eyes, neighbor, iind yon may, perhaps, conclude to join ns in exposing thieves of all parties. A man, ami eappciully n public func tionary. may be hia own worst enemy. This calamity befalla Turn when he do'ea not umlerstaml bis thhiclary relationships or la reckleaa enough to entrust his agen cy to Ills enemies,— Fontey’s Press, The Press congratulates the people on the fact that Grant never on trusts his agency to his enemies. Wosupposo (his is true enough— Grant Judges a man’s friendship by the value of the present ho scuds. Leta man present Grant with n $25,000 house or farm, and lie is re garded a good friend, who can command a cabinet appointment or a foreign mis sion. Jy present of a, faneyhor.se will secure to the doner a good clerkship or an assessorship, and a present of a box of sogars, a dozen bottles of old rye, or a bull pup will entitle the “ friend” to a runnership in one of the departments, Ac. Oh, yes, Grant knows his friends, and Forney is right in ids assertion. Saui-sijuby disgraced liimsoir nml the Senate, twice Inst week, by delivering speeches, while in » slate of beastly in toxication. Tlie Delaware Democracy were horrified when a colored man was admitted into the United Stales .Senate, but they (teem to have no shame on ac count of (lie drunkenness of llicir own Senator, — Herald. Yes they have; the "Delaware J'tcmo eraey have repudiated Senator S';ui!s- Iniry and elected a sober man in his place, and we say amen to tin's. The retiring Senator is the most learned and most talented man in that body, but lie is at (lie same time a notorious drunkard and a disgrace to the body, ami it is rigid that be should lie left at borne. If all drunkards were expelled from CAtigress it would he well for the country and the people. jKJ'i''EllSoN r UoNfi, a negro member of Congress from Cenrght. was opposed to the repeal of tint iron-clad oath, and expressed ills opposition to amnosty.oti general principles. That a negro should hold such views is perfectly natural, and it is not hard to explain why carpet baggers and scalawags should cudotse thorn, Init why a respectable while man should favor thorn is indeed a political flliriosity. " lIAVI' WU A fJOVKRX.ni XT?” The Kaston an ah!o and out spoken Democratic, paper, in alluding 1 to the centralizing efforts of the present Administration, thus answers the above pertinent qucstioJi: ' , ry I«. lA7I, “This thrilling question, which in the early days of iho war used to falter from the, white lips of loyal orators, and meet wilha doubtful and halting response from their stupid hearers, can, thanks to'the labors of Radical Statesmen, he answered to-day with a plump * Yes.' Reyond al 1 doubt or cavil we have a government, and ti government so fondly devoted to the care < f its people that it*is quite impossi ble to banish the recollection of Its exis tence from our minds for n single hour.

This la the last and mightiest stroke of beneficence that it has.in con templation. A hill is now pending in the House of itopresentatlvcs at Washington, providing Cor the .establishment of ‘Na tional .Schools' 1 all over the land. There in to be a ‘National Superintendent’ at Washington, with a salary of .six thou sand dollars a >ear, and. State Superin tendents appointed by this ‘head centre,’ will mjeive four thousand dollars a year each, out of the public treasury. Then the State Superintendents are to appoint District ‘Superintendents’-—one for each Congressional Disfrict—at two thousand dollars a year. These worthies are to es tablish free schools in every township in the United Slates, to hire teachers, whose wages wo presume will he fat, to creel the proper buildings and buy thyVchool books, mill the millions of money requir ed for tins mammoth job are to be paid bv the people in the shape of taxes to the Unit nil W lutes Government.

Mr. Hoar’s bill opens wide tin' door for this, and empowers school siipcrintcndo'nt.s to decide what’hooks may anil what hooks may not he.used in schools. The result is easily forseon. Violent sectarians will seize upon the opportunity to enforce their narrow dogmas,and our public schools, instead of being the nurseries of learning will become the hot hods of religious intoler ance mid persecution, that.will destroy the foundations of id I social security and unity. • - The following list will demonstrate that whatever olse Grant may lie, lie is not a heathen, tor lie takes care of Ids own household : I. niysscs Simp’-on Grant-, .President. »»f ihc Unlti'h Si ii I cs. ]I, Jesse• Unol, Ci niul.

The Legislature at Harrisburg has been in session now over six weeks. As yet very few bills have become laws though n groat number,have been un der consideration. The apportionment bill will probably be the most impor tant political measure before the Lcgis laime this session, The next great matter for consideration is the constitu tional convention. This .is a matter of great importance, and wo have no doubt it will re/eivo the careful consid eration of the assembled wisdom of tlib State. , The great financial question before this Legislature will be the great bond measure, vetoed last session by Governor Geary.

This Cramer is an itinerant preacher, who is no more til for the position of Minister to Copen hagen than Grant is for a preacher, but because he Isa relative* the country is to ho disgraced in the eyes of foreign nations to please the Imperial ruler of America, Ulysses I. It is gratifying to know, however, that'there are a few Repifi))lean Sena tors who have sufficient manliness to resist this utlenipt to de grade our.connlryin t lie sight of foreign poweis, and that Senator* Sumner, Wilson, Hchurz and Patterson ably op posed such'an insult to the nation. The Graph parly, however, were too strong, and under the championship of Senators Chandler, Harlan, Carpenter and Colliding,, tlm nomination.was con firmed, after three long executive ses sions. Tims once more is the country disgraced for the sake of giving power and place to one of the would-be Impe rial family ! How long, Oh) Lord, how long ?

Tlie holding of the “little elections, ” for local-officers, at, the same time with the elections for State and county officers, in October, has not been found to work well. .There is too much for tlie election officers to do in one day, and the eonstnjuence lvas been u good deal of bungling In many instances In. the making up of the returns. *‘Besides; in the excitement of pnrtv politics, men forgot, or did not appreciate the real Im portance of our municipal elections.

ONE of the m< st remarkable routines of tli«* Fmncn-PruKdian war wns'lho ut ter Innolivity of the. great navy of Franco. Mighty deeds were expected from this arm of Ihq service, and no womh r, for Louis Napoleon hacl-raiscd its standard to a point of efticit ncy that alarmed even maritime England, Yot this groat lleet of powerful iron-dads, armed with the best modern naval guns, did not capture a simile German war vessel, while’ a number of French gunboats in inland waters fell into the hands of tlioal ways victorious Prussians. The historians of the wav will piohahly show why it wasthat the costly and ap parently formidable navy of France did so little service in the* late- terrible struggle. Tired of Negro su-ffragk.—Ne gro suffrage was first established in the District of Columbia. It was a great boast at the lime. It is now patent that it is a failure there, '-from the fact that Congress is now discussing a 'bilmvir tually to curtail negro suffrage iiAhat District. The plan is a mean one, to say the least of it, as it accomplishes the object by a tyrannical subterfuge. The bill now under discussion creates a ter ritorial government in the District, giving the President power to appoint the chief officers, Instead of electing them by negro votes, ns at present.

The unearthing of the Chorponning swindle has disclosed one of tho most villainous and un blushing robberies which tho radicals In Con gress havo yet alteinpud.
