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
