I The next term of the Couders

Mon
day tiext, Feb. 25. at nine A. M., at
which time we expect to see at least
*seventyjii.e students in attendance. In
consequence of the liberal patronage
of the first quarter, under the admin.
istratict of Mi. Hen& ick, Miss CLARA
A. SrocKwata., from Bradford county,
has been secured as an assistant for
the next term. Miss Stockwell comes
highly recommended as an accom
plished.and successful teacher, and. we
trust will secure quite a- number of
additional students. Miss S. is a teach
or of French, German, and draining,
and these branches will be taut in
addition to t,hoso of the past term.

that-he would, mot keep me waiting
some two. weeks as James I ad done

previously, but as soon as he had his
breakfast he would see the writer and,.
let me.know. I went .back .to the.
Office in the afternoon of the satna.. day
and received this satisfaction "that I

After-this I learned from a reliable
person that Dent had avowed hirosel I
the author of thearticle alluded to.--
On Saturday afternoon February 2nd '
Dent and- myself met face to face on

Hotel. I asked him if he was the
author of the article alluded to above,
,he made no reply but walked around.

and receiving no reply, I struck, him

I then released him, stept back upon
the walk, picked up my_ shawl _ and
started'for the other side of the road,
where 1 then discovered -for the first

back Wards about twenty feet and then
drew a eii-barrelled revolver from,
his breast pocket, ar.d snapped it twice

As I had no weapon I retreated and

Were it not for opportunities that !
every day present themselves as kind
of snares, into" which the totally de
prayed unwittingly set their feet, we
would never learn the amount of black
hearted
villainy that enshrouds itself
within the dignity of humanity.
The present Legislature seems to
have been raised to power for no other
purpose than to give to the world the
last exhibition of democratic misrule
in its utter prostitution. Nearly every
act which has been considered, so far,
in the present Legislature, calculated
to inspire an independent. expression
on the part - of the representatives of
an independent people, has but exhibi
ted most humiliating servility to party,,
and a reckless disregard of duty. Our
object at present is.tospeak particular
' !tor an outrage that has no parallel in
the history of the Pennsylvania Legis
lature. .
In to-day's paper we publish the
two risperts presented te the House
en 'the Cllll4 of the contested election
efJesw C. McGass., Tits minority
report i -by PU . RCELL, is it strai g h t .

member of that committee could
nocently have mistaken his duty. B oth
reports show conclusively that „T uour
AlcGine was fairly elected ;Mi re ,
ber of the Legislature by the qualified
Voters of his district. At no tim e d ur ,.
'ing the trial was it alleged that int,
influences had been brought to
Bear upon the result. The majority
'fete 3 t4 shows that the election in Shy
pit tolvnaqp was held. in, good faith
aid eiricti irfegrity. From that re
port the public learns: that the Ogee
'for holding generfil elections in Sharon
township, Fuller county, was fixed by
law at the Leroy &lion! Hotiso; that
the Leroy Scho ,Ifuniewas changed
by the Scloial pareaturs of Sharon
lown;hiptroin the location on which it
stood when the law was paisq,
another location, less than fiaif a inilf;

ther informs us that no election could

is not pretendedin this case that
the change was made from any ire: •
proper nwti.ves- on' thq, part of the' ea
cers of the electkon.or,-that the ellectioi
was imprOpei ly conducted at the place
where it was held." Then, in the name
of all that. is sacred, why should these
citizens be deprived of their Censtitu:
tional rights if But 1117cG:Hatc had3;olc.
by the board, and a pretext was fotukl
an d u s ed as a pour, pitiful apology 'fa'
this wanton exercise of. an arbitrarY:
power.
The Act erf A6sembly• of 1849. tit,-
stead of using the • words "
School House," as all the citizens of
p believed it did, this . '
Sh a ,-on township
wards " the School House situate .

DRAKE'S" were used -to designate the. •
the elections in said ;

township., The: citizens were Dots
alone in this mista:ze, for it- appearesk
in evidence that the S.'ieriffr. for severali••
years previous, in lrid iuccessiva, •
proclamations, had designated ti,.711 I.a*
roy School Huse as the place fur tut
citizens to meet and held their elee
lions. But no matter—it was_ enough to.
answer the purpose of the committee. '
The report at once breaks-leerier in a.. ,
strain of prtty balderdash,and attempts
by diluted arid f.eble expressiuns to•
show the world bow diminutive fire
reasons need to be to answer their pur 7 -
pose: It forgets that thereis a conati-•
tution, and that that constitution defines •
the legal qualiscatiens of the Vonore. • -
It forgets that the committee, stands •
at the very fountain of legislative ae.
thority, with full. power to commute -
irregularities, when, by so doing, it
dues no wrong- to the citizens or ie
fliicts no injury upon the State. It fer-,,
gets that each member attic - committee.-
was simply sworn to hoar the evidente
and gixe a true j4tiginent thereon-. It •
forgets that the courts of this State
have repeatedly 'refused to set *lee
tions aside on the grouted of irregularity
and that they have made it a rule in all
such cases to look into the. good faith
and integrity of the election.
I
Xi) our mind, there is nn apology
foithis utsmitigated,outrage. Scarce
ly a man we meet, of any party, ap
proves of the action of the committee.
Those that do attempt t.) justify. their
action pretend to cover themselves by
the legal reputation of Hon. H.enry : Ps
Foster, tilt, chairman of the come:att.**.
It is queried whether the report .evi
dences weakness, laziness or wicked- '
ness. The report certainly creates
the impression that its author - has stre.
just appreciation or comprehensive
sense of the 'great legal principles that
should have controlled the committee.
it as conclusively, however, conveys
the knowledge that 'its author-never .
examined the subject or theme of the .
