||mmaa Wtftatm. CARLISLE. PA, Tbnnulny Morning, January t. 1873. Gold was tjuoted in Philadelphia,- ou Wednesday last, at 109}. We are indebted to Hon. Frank p. Blair, of the 11. S. Senate, for Con gressional documents. ° col. James Montgomery, well known in the Kansas border State troubles, died December 6th, at Mound City, Kansas, aged 58. v A VimrSiK negro lost three grand . children by death in one day, recently; but none of his colored brethren would dig their graves, because he voted the ticket at the late election. The fact that the English government has lately granted the children of Dr. Livingstone, the African explorer, a pension, is taken ns an official indica tion that it believes in his death. Carl Schobz has warned Gen. Grant that “the American people are on the point of demanding an honest govern ment ” We hope so. That will be a point which might well “point a moral, and adorn a tide.” • , - During the year in which the mar riage of the Prince of Wales took place about fifteen hundred female children, in England, received the name of Alexandra, and pearly three thousand hoys were registered Albert Edward. If a Democratic member of Congress wants to stir up a hornet’s nest, all he has to do is to rise in his place ia p° n ~ gre-s and make any allusion to fraud and corruption in office, and forthwith the whole administration swarm are down on him trying to sting him to silence, The Liberal Republicans and Demo crats of the United States Senate were united and anxious to present general amnesty to the people of the South as a Christmas gift, but '.were defeated by the stock jobbers and contractors of the Radicals. Senator Patterson, of New Hamp shire, stated in the Senate, recently, that the committee on Southern outra ges,known as the Ku-Kiux Committee, had since January Ist, 1871, spent $42,- 000, whilst the committee on Retrench ment, of which he was chairman, had spent but $23,000 during the whole five years of his existence. Secretary Fish has taken rooms for the winter at a well-known restaurant, kept by a colored man.— Exchange. That colored man had better keep an eye on this old sardine. Fish is so en amored with the negro, that he is not to be trusted when negro women are about. AN.exchango says: “Itis an insult to the people of Mississippi that Ames should register his name at Washington as a “Mississippi Senator.” He doesn’t own a foot of land in the State, nor pay a single dollar of taxes. He once resided a few months at Vicsburg as an army officer, but on return there he even re fused to pay his poll tax.” ' A Reporter for a New York paper has been interviewing George Wilkes on the subject of his opposition to the re-election of Grant. In the course of the conversation, Wilkes referred to the President as “ a sordid, grasping, gree dy, money-getting man,” who “looks upotT the Presidency as if he had won ■itat a raffle.” This opinion is chiefly valuable as showing what one horse jockey thinks of another. ■ Miss Olive Logan was married in New York on Tuesday, the 26th uit., to Mr, Wirt Sikes, who has been for some time past her literary agent .and business manager. There were no bridesmaids or groomsmen. Among the notabilities present were Madame Le Vert; Mrs. George Law, Mis. Cot ting, and Miss, Kate and Miss. Grace Logan, the bride’s sisters. After the reception the happy pair left for War wick, N. Y. Mr, Lewis presented to the Senate on Tuesday week, a petition from Richard H. Garrett, of Caroline county 1 Virginia, asking compensation to the amount of $2,525 for his barn and goods destroyed by Colonel Baker to effect the capture of John Wilkes Booth and D. C. Harold, in 1865. Booth pnd Harold, It will be remembered, were concealed in Garrett’s barn, and it was destroyed by fire in order to get them. Alexis, when he left Boston, pre sented the Massachusetts Historical Society with three oak leaves and a twig, which were taken from an oak tree in St. Petersburg, which grew from an acorn planted by tho Emperor of Eussia himself, received from Mr. Sumner, of Boston, which he took from a tree which shades Washington’s tomb at Mt—V ernoni Mr. Beck, who was on the Commit tee of the last congress to which was referred the proposition for the Gov ernment to purchase and run the tele graph, stated in the House, last week, that the cost would be nearly $70,000,- 000, and that under the Government plan there would be 20.000 telegraph offices and 26,000 employees. These two items alone, the vast expense and the Immense increase of official patron age, now one of the curses of our Government, should be enough to condemn the proposition. JV. Y. uo server. , , Grant, in his message, strongly advocated thepurchasoof the telegraph lines by the Government. It has since been ascertained that he owns $35,000 worth of telegraph stock. To sell this stock to tho Government for $70,000 would be a nice speculation. Its. origi- ■ ual coat was but $15,000. What a grasping, unprincipled creature is Grant! Grantibm in Georgia.— Among the robberies perpetrated on the peo ple of Georgia under the Bulloclr ad ministration there is none more calcu lated to excite the indignation of honest people everywhere, than the fraudulent lease of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, or the State Road, as it is commonly called. In this transaction the most conspic uous individual next to Gov. Bollock, is Columbus Delano, President Grant’s Secretary of the Interior, political ad viser and bosom friend. Intimately associated with Delano in the affair is Senator Simon Cameron, of Penna. It is not known whether General Grant, himself, has a pecuniary Interest in the business, but considering his interest in other improper speculations, It is most probable he has. THE LEGISLATURE ,j of this State assembled at Harrisburg, on Tuesday last. The Senate stands, politically,l6 Democrats to 16 Radicals, with one vacancy, occasioned by the death of Senator Connell, (Rad.) of Philadelphia. Being a tie, no organi- zation had been effected at this writing. The House stands 38 Democrats, 61 Radicals, and 1 Independent. Hon. Wm. Elliott (Rep.,) of Phila., was elected- Speaker, and Gen. Selfrldge was re-elected Clerk, A few days previous to the assembl ing of this delectable body, Forney’s Press contained an editorial, appealing to the Radical members to act the part of hohest men. From that appeal we take the following extract: •> Thus early, and before the session begins, wewarn members that the acts of past years will hot be tolerated, and that they, must redeem the legislation of the State from its frauds and Infamies, and their puolic characters from the stain of corruption aud bribery.” Very good advice, that, but it will not be heeded, and Forney knows this. For the last ten or twelve years our Legislature has been a stench in the nostrils of honest men. Is it not hu- miliating and disgraceful, that at each meeting of our State Legislature, the members are appealed to by the press to discard bribery aud corruption ? It was not so formerly. Bribery and cor- ruption commenced in the Legislature when the Radicals obtained a majority in that body. This is notorious and willnot be denied. Fifteen or twenty years ago such a thing as dishonesty in the Legislature was neither known nor suspected. In those good old Demo cratic times we had men of integrity and character as members of Assembly men who would not permit a corrup tionist to stand in their presence. How. is it now? At least one-half or more of the members of the late Legislatures were corrupt to the core. It pains us to make this assertion, for it looks like an impeachment of the people of our State. But facts are facts. To have the public moneys squandered, the public faith violated, and granted powers exceeded, are now looked for as a mat ter of course. The people themselves have become careless; they are not only careless in the selection of their public servants, but they, fail to hold those servants to accountability. They ap pear indifferent to duty as citizens, and when this is the case, God save the Commonwealth 1 But if we have corruption, bribery, frauds and perjury in our State Legis lature, they are but drops in the ocean compared with the gigantic robberies committed by those holding office under the National administration. At the National Capital corruption has reach ed a completeness unimagined by. scoundrels elsewhere. For the last two or three years every day, indeed every hour, has revealed' a robbery in some department of the government. Dur ing this period at least one-flfth of the receipts of the government have been stolen 1 And with these facts staring us in the face, what do we see? We see the friends of Grant in the XJ. S. Senate working like beavers and using every stratagem in their power to pre- I vent investigation into these confessed frauds. Is it to be wondered at that corruption has become fashionable ? Let-the people, then—those men who desire honesty in the affairs of govern ment—State and National—free them selves from improper influences, and demand a return to economy arid hon esty. It seems impossible that the thinking.men of this nation should not be more deeply interested in public affairs. The man who pays his taxes protnptly, keeps the peace, and refrains from acts prejudicial to society, and then settles down quietly without a thought concerning public affairs, is not the good citizen lie thinks he is. He should assist in the selection of our best men for public positions, and thus give encouragement to good men and at the same time rebuke the corruptionist and time-server. It is a fact that the men who would most fitly represent the wants of our country are rarely selected for public positions., Why? Because the -professional office-seeker is con stantly on the alert, to obtain a nomi nation. This gained, “ faithfulness to party” secures his election, and he goes to the Legislature or to Congress with his character known, but yet endorsed byhis people. This is the grave error; and we do hope, now that unheard of robberies, peculations, frauds and all sorts of villainies are the order of the day, that the solid men of our country will pick up courage and step to the front in behalf of an honest administra tion of the affairs of government, State and Natlorial. So mote it be. A Georgia colored lyceum discussed the question—“ Which is the most use ful, paper or gunpowder ?” The debate was closed by a disputant, who spoke as follows: “Mr. President, s’pose darwas a bar out dar at de door, and you was to go dar and~shake de papor at him, you’d see what the bar would do. But shoot a cannon at him and mark de result. I calls for de question.” The President forthwith decided in favor of gunpowder. A New York gentleman, who was recently married, engaged a special car for himself and bride, beautifully fitted up inside, and dlvid ed into bed room drawing room and kitchen, which was to be attached to every train as they Journeyed on. their wedding tour, en route for San Francisco. A new and startling fraud has been discovered, seriously implicating offi cials in the State Department at Wash ington. The statement of the Ameri can claims in the Alabama case, a highly confidential . document, was,’ more than two months ago, surrepti tiously obtained by an agent of the British government, which has thus had a signal advantage in the prepara tion of its case. John V. Norton, late superinten dent of the money order department iir the post office, who proved a defaulter to the amount of $115,000 a few weeks ago, was arrested recently by Special Agent Featherbrldge from Washing ton. Norton has failed to make his deficit good. Fire and Loss of Life.-A telegram from Pittsburg, dated Dec. 27, says:— The residence of O. A. Woods, of Pitts burg, at Wheatland, Pa., was burned Christmas day. Two servant girls were burned to death. Loss on house, $25, n()0. Insured for $15,000. Grant's Job*. The President's recommendation that the government purchase ,tho telegraph lines of the United States is a Job. It Is the last and worst and greatest Job of Ids official career. ' As President, Mr., Grant pushes the use or Seneca sandstone in the public buildings, sidewalks, *c., of Washing ton- As stockholders of the Seneca Sandstone Comyany, Mr. Graut and his military entourage pocket the profits.- As President Mr. Grant pushes the purchase and obstinately maintains the war-power protectorate of Santo Domin go. Success therein—now impossible—- would have feathered his own nest and the nests of all the White House ring.’ . As President Mr. Grant appoints or removes Internal revenue officers at Chi cago. As a thrifty investor Mr.‘Grant sees his brother Orville, by-fore-kpowK edge and influence in appointments and removals, make himself and his whisky ring rich. As President Mr. Grant dictated, before and.on Black Friday, the policy of the United States Treasury Department In Walt street. As a fond husband be bad the pleasure of seeing the -Fisk-Gould- Corbln job pay over $25,000 on the Flake and Gould transaotiou. By the bye will not Mr. Stewart disclose how it was In vested? . ■ , As President Mr. Grant nominates per eons to the civil service of the United States. As plain Mr. Grant he receives from them presents by the score, from part-price of. his cottage at Long Branch to a bull-pup from Sacramento. As President Mr. Grant “especially recommends favorable consideration” of the telegraph purchase. As honest Mr. Grant If he boughtoneyear ago (through “friends" of course) 5 000 shares of the Western Union Telegraph Company stock at 44, which to-day is worth 68, be has made four times his annual salary, and what with the power of his office and the margin of profit still remaining (on a par sale to the United States) open to venal Representatives and carpet-bag ging Senators. Mr. Grant stands fair to make bis office just about twice as profitable as bis re- election; Grant is a jobber. So was Tweed. This is histone. This is his conception of public and private morality. He is not indeed an absolute thief, but Grant Is fast becoming a millionaire by precisely the same methods which made Tweed rich before he turned thief to be come richer. Grant’s Seneca sandstone job la a weak imitation of Tweed’s' blueatone quany job. It is even more scandalous, for the Seneca sandstone is a miserable stone, costly, chips badly in cutting, and is not durable. Tweed’s blueatone was the beat of its kind. Neither Grant nor Tweed see' wrong in such use of official position. for private profit. ' Grant’s telegraph purchase job beats Tweed’s County Court-house job hollow. Tweed’s net profit of the $6,000,000, as tracked in' Mr. Tilden’s affidavit, is a flea-bite to the profit which will go straight to the pockets of Grant’s "next frionds” when the Western Union stock is at its highest, Graut will rank higher than Tweed for distributing the cost of his private gains over the backs of forty millions of tax-payers. For Tweed cru elly saddled his extortions upon one mil lion. But as between Grantlsm and Tweedism, morally, there is little to choose.— New York World. !■!..» I N TALK Colonel McClure, a short time ago, wrote a letter to the Germantown tele graph, explanatory of his political po sition, and while he asserted that he was not a candidate for the Senatorial nomination; in his ward, nevertheless gave the telegraph to understand that ifthe nomination was tendered to him, ho would accept. In return the Cdl. is made the .recipient of the following plain and blunt rebuff by the tele .graph ; “ He has placed himself squarely in tho ranks of the few disappointed ran!- omtentn in opposition to the administra ' lion of President Grant and his re-nom ination, ami we have*nothing more to say on the question of the Fourth Sena torial district or himself. No man can or should receive the nomination who is not thoroughly loyal to his party. We have 100 many hair splitters and half hearted men already; too many SchurMs, Sumners, Fentons, Greeleys and other chronic recalcitrants, who lefnseto fol low and are unfit to lead. They are clamorous for .what they call ‘reform, no matter how successful and able an administration may be ; and weia their croaking ever heeded, as it fortunately is not, it would bring disaster upon the country.” According to the above, no man is considered “ loyal” who is not an en dorser of Grant’s thieving administra tion. McClure would make an admi rable Senator, but he must be squelched because he is not a Grant man I Are we not coming to a pretty pass? A bill has passed the lowe§ branch of Congress fixing the ratio of represen tation under the late census at 137,000 and the number of members at 288. The present number is 241. Under this bill Pennsylvania will be entitled to 26 members being an increase of two. ThoNewEnglandStates lose teojnera bers. The representation from the Western and Southern States will be largely increased. The gain in the former is owing to the rapid increase in population, while in the Southern States It arises from the fact that since slavery has been abolished all the ne groes are enumerated in determining the ratio, whereas under the old mode of apportionment only three-fifths of the slaves were entitled to representa- jgy-Gen. F. P. Blair is a member of the Ku Klux Investigating Committee and explodes the whole theory of polit ical persecution in a few words, declar ing that violence exists in the South no more than in other parts of the coun try, except in cases where the people have taken into their hands the pun ishment of criminals whom the gov ernment has allowed to go unwhipped of justice. This is no more than hap pens frequently elsewhere, without even’a hint of insurrection or the need of martial law. The recent ease of lynching three men in Indiana was a more flagrant offense against law and' order than has occured in the South for a twelve-month, and yet neither the Ku-Klux Committee nor the President has a word to say in condemnation of this instance of Ku-Kluxism in the North. Letters from South America state that the earthquake at the town of Oran lasted nine hours, with forty different shocks. The streets were split open, and every house tumbled into ruins.— The inhabitants all fled to camps out side the towm only one death occur ring. Cexulaot of President Grant. Mr. Davis, of Kentucky. X oiler a resolution, and I ask the courtesy of the Senate that I may read it myself, for information ; Resolved, That the Committee of In vestigation and Betronchmeut Inquire, ascertain and report whether Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States, now has, or heretofore has had, any in - lerest, certain or contingent. In any cen tred to do work for tho United States, or to furnish any material to be used in any public building ; and if he has, or has had, any such interest, whether it came to him by purchase or gift. That said committee inquire, ascertain and re port whether any persons have made do. nations of money or property to the President, and he has bestowed upon the donors, or their relations, offices or pla ces of public trust and profit; and if so, the names of the donors and of 'the, persons on whom such offices of trust were bestowed, designating the trust or office in each case. That said committee also inquire, ascertain, and report wheth er the President bus bestowed any offices or places of public trust or profit on his 'relatives, or the relatives of any member of his family ; and, if so, the names of ail such persons, the offices and trusts bestowed upou them, and their relation: ship to the President or member of his family. That said committe also inquire, ascertain, and report whether- there has been any contract, arrangement, or un derstauding by oramohg any officers or persons in the civil, military, or naval service of the United States, tiiat theyor others were to have any part, or interest In any money, bonds, land, or other property, to be paid or acquired' conse quent upon any treaty between the re public of .Dominieq and the United States ; and if so, the names of . nil such persons, and the nature of their connec tion with the affair ; and whether the -.hips, sailors, or murine forces of the United States have taken any part in the conflict between Baez and Cabral, or did any act to favor or injure tho cause of either ; and if so, what was the part or act, and by what, authority or order done. And that said committee also in- quire, ascertain, and report whether the President and heads of Departments, or any of them,have absented themselves Ifom Washiugtbn city and the perform ance of their respective duties • to make electioneering excursions and speeches through the country, and to spend their time at places of pleasure and dissipa tion ; and if so, how frequenlj were such absences by those officers or any of them, and how long did each , continue. And in prosecuting these several inquiries said committee is empowered to send for persons and papers. Old Fooyism.—lt is authoritatively stated that the King of Slam offered an elephant to the Hon. W. H. Seward, during the late visit of the latter to his country, and that the ex-Premier courteously but reluctantly refused' to ■ accept this small token of disinterested but royal friendship and graciousness. Don Platt of the Capital regards Mr. Seward’s refusal to accept the present as conclusive evidence of his old fogy ism, stamping him as a relic of , the past generation of'American statesmen, and adds: “President Grant would never have refused that elephant. Rather than have been guilty of such an act of discourtesy (and that to Roy alty, too!) he would have had the animal cut up and packed away in bar rels with brine. It is on record that a Chinese delegation in San Francisco sent his Excellency two barrels of pickled pups as a slight testimonial of oriental regard. It is not on record that his excellency wounded the tender feelings of the almond-eyed opium eaters by returning or by refusing to accept their, humble offering.” In this age of skepticism, facts are required to inspire confidence in the minds of the people; but with good indorsers, they are willing to test any article claiming extraordinary merit. The proprietors of Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer offer the follow ing indorsement of the merits claimed by them for their preparation, by the- Pittsburg, Pa., “ Christian Advocate; ” viz., “ The public have so often been deceived by the use of worthless •pre parations for the hair, that an article of this kind, to gain their favor and secure their patronage must, possess real merit. We are glad to assure our readers that Hall’s Vegetable, Sicilian Hair Henewer is meeting with the suc cess which its raerits.so justly deserve,; and we have reliable evidence, that it will perform all that is claimed for it, in restoring gray hair to its natural color, and, as a permanent dressing, is unsurpassed.” The Lancaster Express says:' Mad dogs are numerous in the eastern sec tions of Lancaster county, some forty or more dogs have been killed in and around Morgantown, and some fifteen or twenty in the vicinity of Church town, supposed to have been bitten. . A young man named Frank Houser has been bitten, and two little girls whose names we have been unable to learn, between Churchtown and Mor gantown. They have also made their appearance near Beartown, and a number have been killed. One is reported to have been seen near Cedar Grove. B®-Just previous to the adjournment of the Senate (for the holidays,) Mr. Sumnor-hatLa-fleld day in the Senate. He attacked Gen. Grant on both flanks. First, by having adopted a resolution Inquiring into the whole transaction in relation to the San Domingo job; and. secondly, by presenting an amendment to the Constitution, providing for one term of the Presidency. In presenting the amendment, Senator Sumner sub mitted wqpe remarks censur ing Prlstdent Grant, and charging that, while the President recommended civil Service Reform, he did not want it to apply to himself. The war progresses. Secretary Boutwell thinks it wise and proper to reduce the duty on coal. Collector Forney is of a different opinion, Boutwell believes that re duction of the duty would lower the price of this necessary of life, while Greely thinks the present duty does not affect it. Thus the protectionist doc tors differ. One thing is certain, the monopolists in coal, themselv s, and all the of high prices insist on maintaining the duty, while the great mass of the people, the consu mers, demand thatit.shall be removed. The advocates of monopoly would per suade the people that a tax of one dol lar and twenty-five cents a ton on this ar'icle of every day necessity Is "pro tecting American industry,” and there are some idiots in the laud who believe them. It will be remembered that Hon. C. L, Vallandigham, of Ohio, met his death pending the trial of one Tom McGohan, at Dayton, on a charge ot murder.

The negroes are organized in military companies, and the worst of all they are •ed on by white carpet-baggers—Di-rry Downs, who holds the position of prose cuting attorney of the county, and James Mason, Senator (colored) from this dis trict. Another negro official fromCincin nnti, Birbour by name, is also at the head, stirring up things generally. They ; have guards at every entrance leading ; Into the town, but do not as yet prevent the whi e men from., free passage to and from. The n.egroes completely gulled Garret f s store» and are at present draw ing their supplies from his place, about one mile from town. A detachment of thirty, headed by Downs and Mason, left town yesterday for the hills, hearing that some white men were there gath ering to oppose them in their present i control of affairs. My companion Alf.nc -1 compahied Captain Simms and others after them to dissuade them from their purpose, but their efforts proved of no I avail. J • . The party continued on and bad not been heard from by sundown Inst night. This morning I heard their drums beat ing for morning reveille. That squad of twenty, if ambushed, or should any of I receive injury in their reomnol tering, will doubtless open the ball, and where it will end the Lord only knows. The whites are beyond question of doubt completely cowed, without power of sun censful competition. In fact the influen tial ones have crossed the Mississippi river to Greenville, and* those that re main are not in force sufficient to check the negroes should they start the work of blood and fire. If spared, I will com municate further particulars as events develop themselves. The body of the negro Wynn Is still lying In state, In a metallic coffin, at the court house. I know of no other reason for keeping the remains thus publicly exposed, this length of time, than to work up the feel ings of the negroes to the highest pitch of excitement. From your, son, Grant’s Doings.— Poor South Caro lina is in a bad way. Robbed of all her State and county bonds by the Ra dical carpet bag officials, who ruled her for five years or more, she was to be pitied ; but now Grant adds insult to injury by his proclamation of martini law, and ere long the people, too, will be bankrupt. The terrors caused by the withdrawal of public liberties grow every day. Bayonet law was of course avoided by all who were able to leave the proclaimed districts, and a general exodus of wealth nndrespcctabilitytnok place. But many persons whose busi ness is of u local character are com pelled to (remain. The exodus of the first named class simply means the ruin of the other. Many failures will prob ably be reported before long. Upon the trial ot a suit for divorce, one of the witnesses was asked whether ho had spoken to any of thejury since the trial commenced. “Yes, sir, 1 spoke to Mr. ,” pointing to a jury man with a face as red as a blood beet. "What did you say to him?” Witness appeared reluctant to tell. The attor ney insisted upon the answer. “Well” sa d the witness, “ X told him that he had a prottv face to sit on a Jury t & decide whether a man was a habitual drunkard or not” HIFXUO, The JtcvJut'oii J*roirrcs\iii{/-~Mlci' Capturcii—Siic* cess Ojnsiiicmi Certain, Matamoeas, Mexico, December 30. vlti UrowiiHVllle, Texes, December 30.

The interest she displayed in hurling it down to him was no deeper than that ho showed in catching it, although as several who saw the charitably ro marked; no one could have known that the egg was a bad one. .
