Clerk or the llPPlierson, of Pennsylvania. The Hon. Edward McPherson who was on the 4th inst. elected Clerk of the House of Representaties for the fourth time is an efficient and popular officer of respecta ble talents and attainments. He was-born at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, July 31, 1831,, and is Scotch -Irish: extraction. In the section 'cif the State where Mr. McPherson was born and still resides the Scotch-Irish element has always had a preponderiting influence, especially in so cial and,politicallife; and while it cannot he said.that he owes his present position to 'any question of derivative nationality the unaSpiring instincts of his " Pennsyl vania-Dutch " neighbors left him a free field in his earlier Struggles which was of inestimable advantage. He was educated at Pennsylvania College, an institution under the charge of the Lutheran Church situated upon the field of Gettysburg and occupied by the Rebel forces as an ob servatory during the memorable struggle. Mr. McPherson graduated in 1818. [Came to Lancaster in 1851 and edited the Union, a paper which advocated pro gressive ideas, and was the representative of that portion of the Whig party known as " Wooly heads." There was at that tithe existing in this county s very bitter feeling between the "silver greys," the conservatiVe wing of the Whiz party, led by Isaac E. Hiester, and the " wooly heads,"' led by the late Hon..ThdddeusSte venS.: The excitement caused by the mur der 'of William Smith ; a. fugitive slave, in Columbia,.byllidgley of Baltimore, and the ', part taken by District Attorney Thompson, - Gov. Bigler and others to screen the murderer, led to a very 'bitter feeling between the wings of . the party. Mr. McPherson took the side of the mur dered slave, and endeavored to have jus tice meted out to the murderer, but was balked by the officers of the law.—En. Sm] In 1858 he was elected to the XXXVIth Congress, from the Sixteenth Pennsylva nia District, and was re-elected to the XXXVII Congress, but in 1852, though again the candidate of the Republican party he was defeated by a small majority. For a few'years previous to his election to Congress he had devoted hiinself to agri cultural pursuits, and-by a somewhat ano malous juxtaposition of duties found hint self in the House on the Committee on Naval Affairs during the first session, and a ffieffiter"..nr, ihe , Military CoMmittee through his'second term. In 1862, when, for a short time previous to the battle of,. Antietam, Pennsylvania was threatened with invasion; he served. on the staff of , Major-Gen.Reynolds, subsequently killed at Gettysburg: He was appointed Dep uty Commissioner of the Internal Revenue in 1863 and on the meeting of the XX:X.V . I.IIth . Congress,- he was :elected Clerk of the House of Representatives, being'subsequently elected to thi same position-in-the XXXIXth and Xt.tb Con gresses. Mr:• McPherson is a gentleman of fine literary culture; and besides two series of letters touching the internal af fairs of his native State, written previous to his entry upon public life, he has de livered many addresses on different occa sions. In 1864 he published a valuable compend entitled " The Political History of the United States during the Great Rebellion," and this work was supple mented with a volume for the year 1866. Daring his-last term in Congress he was a Regend of the Smithsonian institution. It is said that he is now engaged in the preparation of a life of the late Thaddeus Stevens, with whom he enjoyed the most intimate and friendly relations for many years. He is one of the executors named in the will of Mr. Stevens, as is also Mr. Dickey, who fills the " Old Commoner's " place in Congress, and on whose nomina , tion Mr. McPherson was accepted by the 'Republican caucus for the Clerkship of the House: Mr. McPherson married a dangliter of the Rev. Dr. Smucker, for many years the leading professor in the theological seminary at Gettysburg, and enjoys a distinction few men of his years can boast, l havino- been made an LL. D. by Pennsylvania College ° in 1867. He is one of the proprietors and editors of The Gettysburg Sentinel newspaper, has many friends and a few enemies, and leads a life ofeultinated and elegant leisure in all his social relationi.--Next York Tribune Dens of New York. The commissioner of the N. Y. liforla recently made an inspection of some of the low lifflging houses of that city. Ire found thatin that part of Greenwich street situated in the First ward near the Battery, no less than fifty:cellars are leased by as many ruffians, who take in lodgers at from five to fifteen cents each per night. One of these hideous dens—an average speci men—is described as measuring about twenty-five feet lengthwise, and eighteen feet across, and, six or seven feet from filthy planks to murky ceiling. On Sun day night thirty-four persons of both. sex es lay huddled there on the bare floor. A red-hot stove generated such beat thht the lodgers were compelled to strip off most their clothing. A sluggish drain from the privy in the rear coursed immediately be neath the planks, and sent its effluvia up through the yawning crevices. Vermin swarmed noisomely everywhere,murdering sleep, and provoking obscene anathemas from their writhing human victims, whose thirty : four Jialf.naked bodies 'exhaled a stench that rivalled the mephiiic aors of the drain. Even if the atmosphere had been ordinarily pure, each pair- of-lungs in the place would have bad only_ ninety four cubic led of •Oxygen.to breathe,t or less than one-eighth of the quantity requis ite Tor h night's healthy sluinber. But, the fetor was so overpowering as to sicken those who' were unused to it in a few Sec-. onds ; , and . ' the inmates • acclimatized,_as they were, lay as if in a kind of stupor. " A pigeon," said one of the physicians who ventured into the den on . Saturday night, " would be comatose here in twenty minutes." Thirty or forty such Black-holes—the last one fouler, hotter,..• and more over-, crowded than the first—were 'exploded, much ag,ainst the will of their keepers and the thieves. It. w as found that these mag,gotty.,vaults are in =any instances owned and rented: by reputable citizens, who may hot know for 'what pur poses thetare , ined:- Sari eleellars reitt forhs . much as eightidall4 in S per the gr o -: eery -stores or tenement hones above them arerentcd' for two thousand yehr 2 ‘4,', 1 1,7rttra5....
