By order of the Democratic State Committee.
WILLIAM A. WALLACE,
0. 0. Dbtk, Bee'y. Chairman.
Organized for Crime. The Grand
Army of the Republic, in convention
at Philadelphia, elected Gen. Logan,
of Illinois, Commander-in-Chief ; and
Gen. J. Owen, of Philadelphia, for
Senior Vice Commander. Tho Grand
Army mast be hard up for material,
to take two of tho most notorious
scapegrace, in the country for its chief
officers. The very fact of theso two
demagogues and political harlots be
ing cboson to this position, portends
evil, and evil only. "Tho Grand Ar
my of the Republic" is a Wide-a-Wak
swindle, in tho intercut of army and
hospital bummers, and niggers.
Pardons. Tho pardon report of
Governor Geary, scut to tho Legisla
ture, shows that the whole number of
death warrants issued by the several
Executives since tbo year 1800,
amounts to 132, as follows: Governor
McKean, 10; Governor Snyder, 6;
Govornor Findley, 6 j Governor Ilies-
tcr,4; Governor Shultz, 7; Governor
Wolf, 8; Govornor Ritner, 6; Gov
ernor Porter, 14; Governor Shunk,
11 ; Governor Johnston, 3 ; Govornor
Bigler,ll ; Governor Pollock, 8; Gov
ernor Packer, 12; Governor Curtin,
18 being three each year while
Geary has issued 8 the first year.
TnE Reason. A Radical cotcmpo
rary,in lamenting over tho stagnation
in business, says :
"It ought to bo mor generally nndcritood In
thie time of enforced idleness and depression in
k. .hv., u.. iue young male ot Cfi
fornia stands ready to give employment and fair
wages to all who offer. Several railroad and man
ufacturing enterprises are in progress. Common
laborers are getting from thirty to fifty dollars
per month, in gold, and their board, and skilled
laborers and mechanics commanding from three to
Ara dollars per day."
Tho reason that every branch of
business and trade flourishes in Cali
fornia, is that tho pcoplo in that State
havo never adopted the Black Repub
lican system ol finonceoring. They
nso gold instead of Chaso sliinplaeters.
Hcnco evorylhing goes off ns merry
ns a niarriajo feVst.
Tni Rump. Affairs at the Nation
al Capital aro unchanged. Tho Dis
union leaders seem determined to
throw the country into Revolution,
and they will get it as sure as tho
sun rises and sets, if they continue
their strides towards despotism one
year longer. They seom to think
they have vanquished tho President
ignored the Executive department of
the Government and aro now assail
ing, assassin like, tho Judiciary, in
order to succeed with thoir infumous
pluns of reconstruction, as they torm it,
but In reality it is destruction. The
end of the French Jacobin leaders
should prove a warning to them,
but if they fail to profit by the
lesson, thoir-fate will bo tbo samo.
There are none so blind as those who
have eyes but don't see.
m e
TnE Legislature. We have but
little to rotate with reference to this
body. The only suhjoct, thus fur, that
sctms to have attracted the attention
of that body was the infamous Stan
ton, tho soldiers' murderer and gen
eral Jacobin leader. He was com
pletely ventilated last week. The
entangling alliances encounterod in
the House, at the opening of the ses
sion, still binder and retard business.
The Senato is slow and dignified,
and will get to work in a few days.
The Harrisburg correspondent of
the Tittsburg Commercial, alluding to
tho debate on the Stanton resolutions,
rays : ''Several speeches were mode
for and against them ; but tbo leading
ones wero made by Senator Wallace,
from Clearfield, against, and by Sena
tor Landon, of Bradford, in fatr tf
them. Wallace is a 'head and shoul
ders' shore any other Democratic
Senator io ability and tactics ; and
makes a rcry plausible argumen t, even
On tho wrong side of the question."
When our legislators get through
with other people's business recon
etrnetien ind attond to their own,
we wiJi notice Iheir doings more at
length. Will somebody bo good
r nongh to snd us the Recvrjf t
Tho National robbers, although
schooled lip to tho hlgln-et standard
of "grand moral Ideas," after a lupso
of nearly three yenrs, nro titint'lo to
agree as to tho number of men pres
ent at tho arrest of Jefferson Davis.
They have sworn that ho had high
top boots on, dressed in Mrs. Davis's
clothes, looked ptilcand much alarmed,
and a thousand other dotuils of this
gigantic event, yet, to tho present
hour, neithor ofllccrs nor men are able
to say whethor only fifteen mon wero
present or ono hundred and fitly
Tho report of Col. Fritehard, con.
manding the expedition, states that
at tho tlmo of the capturo thoro wero
present eight officers and twolve on
listed men, but their names aro not
given. Captain Hathaway, of the 4th
Michigan Cavalry, in a list subso
qucntly furnished, accounts for eight
commissioned officers and 145 enlistod
men present at said capture. Now,
if tho officers and men of this expodi
tion cannot bo bolieved in matters
relating to their own duty, why bo
liove thoir petticoat story f Either
Col. Pritchard and his gang of twen
ty, or Capt. Hathaway and his band
of one hundred and fifty-three, or
both, tell that which is not true.
At Their Work. Tbo "Father of
Lies" has been superseded at Harris
burg, for tho time being. John Cess
na, H. B. Swoopo and an Irishman
named O'ilara, have undertaken the
job. Tho subornation, perjury and
crimes of the Washington villains
Conovcr, Ashley Si Co., have been
out-dono by tho above worthies. The
efforts made by these men to cheat
Mr. Shugcrt, the Senator elect in tho
Centre district, out of bis scat, is in
strict keeping with the conduct of tho
Disunion leaders at Harrisburg and
Washington, for tho past five years.
No ono Democrat can hold bis scat
in either Congress or a State Legisla
ture when his vote changes the politi
cal complnxion of the body. This
fact is as well established as tho crimes
of tho Disunion leaders.
Tbo niggers and mean whites of
Alabama have nominated PowollClay
ton, a citizen of Delaware county, in
this Stato, for Governor, and a Massa
chusetts hospital bummer for Lieut.
Governor. Both aro loyal and lovo
tho "pet lumbs."
Intellectual Treats. Tho clti
zens of our towrf havo just bad tho
pleasure, of bearing two exceedingly
interesting lectures by John Mullaly,
tailor ot that sterling democratio
journal the New York Metropolitan

A New Perplexity for Partt
Flunkies. We commend the follow
ing pungent paragraph from the
Snrinrrfiold Remthliam to tho nnrnaiil
of that class of Republicans who aro
constantly protesting against Radi
calism, and as constantly voting for
Radical candidates under protest :
"Those Republicans who havo thought
that fidolity to party required them
to defend tho Congressional scheme
of reconstruction, as a wholo and in
all its parts, find it "hard sledding"
about this timo. They hardly know
whero they are, or what they shall
bo called to swear by next. To make
everything sure and to cover all pos
sibilities they might well modify
their confession of political faith and
put it in a comprehensive form some
thing like this :
"Veare for tho Congressional plan
as it was, as it is, and as it shall bo,
world without end.' And, to make
all safe over night, Dr. Watt's famous
sleep inviter might be used in this
modified form :
"Now I lay rre down to sleep.
My reconstruction faith to keep
If it should ehange before I wise,
The latest sort I II try to take."
Stamping Deeds. Tho rovonue of
ficers of our State aro being instructed
from Washington to appoint special
officers to examino tho county offices
as to whether deeds, mortgages and
other official papers havo been proper
ly stamped. The penalty for omitting
to stamp, or for not stamping proper
ly, is $,")0 for each deed. In Bucks
county tho examiner, in going over
the first six dockets out of twenty,
found about one hundred dexids which
had either been improperly stamped
or tho stamps entirely omitted, mak
ing an aggrcgato of five thousand
dollars in penalties.
A New Yorker, traveling in Texas,
hi stripped Dy rouhcrs. Proposing a
game of "seven np," in which he start
ed with a promissory note as slakos,
he won back all his valuables, and
went on his way rejoicing.
A loiter hat boon safclv delivered
to the person to whom it was addresed
in Iowa, which had, bosides tho usual
superscription, these words: "There
is a ton dollar bill folded in this let
ter, and if you want it worse than
my mother, take it,"
The 'Isrsstoai Vonmi."
A correspondent of tho New Yoik
E.ipro says the secno in tho Hons
of ItrproM-ntiilives on tho tmssago of
the lust Reconstruction bill was ono
of moro than usual Interest. The
L'alleries wero tinclted with excited
spectators, tho itnmenso northern gal
lerv being filled almost exclusively
with American citir.ens of African do
scent who, as tho scene was viewed
from your correspondent s desk, turn
ished a dark buck-cround to the whole
picture. Tho Foreign Diplomatic Corps

exiituiica a ooep iiuerem in mu
ccodiii!:i, and tho western gallery
set apart for their especial accommo
dation, was bIno well ftllod. On the
floor of tho Hall, Senators, Cabiuct
Ministers and army officers crowded
nil seemingly anxious to witnoss tho
final proceedings oi tho iiousooi nop-
rcsentatives on this startling and fear
ful legislation pronounced by 51 r.
Wood "tho most infamous of tho
many infamous acts of this infamous
Congress." Just beforo Mr. Bingham
(of Ohio) who reportod tbo bill
roso to closo the delato,,lu8 colleaguo,
Mr. Caroy, (Republican,) propounded
to him lour questions, saying that
unon tho satisfactory charoctor of
Mr. Bingham's replies would dopond
his (Carey s) vote on tno pending bin
Those questions were
1st. If General Grant should fail or
rcfuso to execute this law, or should
execute it in a despotic and cruel man
ner, to what tribunal would ho bo re
sponsible for his nonfeasance or mul
feasance T
2d. As by tho terms of the bill
the President cannot intcrforo, can
the General be tried by court-martial
and if so, who can order, and who
shall constitute the Court r
3d. Not being a civil officer can be
be impeached, and if so, by whomaud
before what tribunal r
4th If he cannot be arraigned be
ioro any earthly tribunal, is he not
made an absolute despot f
Theso four inquiries, fell with
decided effect upon tbo Radical
sido ot the Hall, and immediately But
ler, Schenck, Boutwoll and others
rushed over to Bingham's desk to
prompt him in his replies, but that
gentleman deemed it more prudent
not to answer, and at onco called the
previous question, thus not only stop
ping debate, but cutting off Ben But
ler s amendment, winch ne so sirenn
ously endeavored to get before tbo
House, and which was intended to
pass the Stato governments of tho
South into the hands of the negro con
ventions.
Tho vote on tho final passage of
tho bill, was, yeas Hi : nays 4a.
These four inquiries by Mr. Carey
should bo published tar and wide
They were propounded by a Republi
can, and were not answered by Mr.
Bincham. They tell the wholo story
of to-day's proceedings in a few words
and words which cannot bo misuuder-

' Tho country, however, will soon
learn that even this new bill will not
satisfy tho conspirators, who aro to
meet this very evening at tho call of
lhad. htcvens, tho chairman of tho
Committoo on Reconstruction, to con
sider still another proposition. Ste

his charactcrmtic cunning, and under

0DR NEW YORK LETTER.
New Your, Jan. 27, 1fr.H.
The recent arret of that erratic
Bohemian, George Francis Train, by
tho Cork authorities, for making
Fenian stump speeches in America,
attracts more or less attention of tho
journals. The whole affair is looked
upon ns a huge joke. It is believed
that Train purptmelv invited his own
arrest on his arrival at Qucotistown,
and sailed hence a fortnight sii.co with
that solo object in view, though it is
L'iven out that ho was on his way to
Dublin, as tho spocial correspondent
of tho Now York World, ho long as
thero is no ronl danger impending,
Train would be only tooglud to mnko
a martyr of himself, and by this moans
become a prolific subject for diplomat
ic correspondence, gratity bis hobby
for advertising himself into further
notoriety, and tangle himself up into
a test caso, domanding the prompt in
torforenco of our Government for tho
protection of American citizens abroad,
confined, meta phnricaiiy speaking, in
loathsome foreign dungeons. Nympa
tbising meetings havo already beon
hold in various parts of the city .where
the usual "Whereas tho timo has at
length arrived, &c, 4c,." and "There
fore resolved we demand, in the
namo of. &c, io.," It seems al
most impossible to get up I he noces
sary amount of excitement just at this
time to stimulate tbo collodion ol
further subscriptions for tho men in
gnp from poor Bridget and Patrick.
Train's diplomacy in thin matter is
very much like that of a certain Cali
fornia statesman who was uptor Con
gress a few years si nee. r ail i ng to go t a
respectably sited audience to listen to
his speeches, it was whispered around
San Francisco that a sanguinary duel
with bowio knivos, between two well
known prominent characters, hostile
to each other in politics, would cer
tainly take place at a given locality,
on such a day, between!) and VI A. M.
About three' thousand peoplo assem
bled at the appointed spot on tho day
named ; tho spoech was delivered, tho
bar-rooms done a rushing business,
the speaker received a purse of $200
from the saloon keepers for bringing
tho crowd togethor, but the duel, how
ever, never came off, or was any seri
ous ajj aired honneur ever dreamed of
by tho parties implicated. I rain, since
his releaso, is talked ot now for head
of tho F. B.'s, and' will probably bo a
candidate for Vine-President of the
United States. Till then, let the
English lion roar its au revoir to all
peaceful relations between tho two
countries, and the American engle
from Its lofty porch at Washington,
flap its wings in dignified yet danger
ous silenco. Train is a martyr at lust,
and Seward is aroused 1 1
Castle Garden, tbo hcad-qunrtcrs of
our Immigrant Commissioners, and the
landing place for all the fresh arrivals
from tho Old World, for this time of
the year presents an unusually lively,
bustling and animated appearance
The rush of foreign emigration to our
shores, notwithstanding it is the mid
dlo of winter, continues unabated.
Europe has contributed the past year
very liberally to the population of the
United States; but tho great flood of
emigration was not, as usual Irom Ire
land, but from Germany .. The Irish
used to far surpass, in numbers, tho
cnt; but tho late war in Germany,
and tho apprehension of another at
somo not very far distant period, be
tween Northern Germany and Franco,
has turned tho tide, and tho Toutonic
fresh t promises to bocomo a flood.
Last year tho foreign immigration
into tho United States exceeded
anything of tho kind witnessed
for tho previous eight vcars. This
year it promises to exceed in nnmboi s
anything ot the kind wo have cvor
witnessed before. Most of tboso who
arrive, however, appear to bo of a bet
ter class of small farmers and agricul
turists, who bringwith them no little
amount of worldly wealth to contri
bute thoir sliaro to our gonoral pros
perity. Tho rather snden demiso of John
JacobAstor,atlhoagoofC5yeors,a few
days sinco, divulges facts which seom
liko a romance. A bright, promising
boy, bo had boon sent to a collego"in
Switzerland, where his intellect do
came impaired in consequence of an
accidental injury, In 1XJ2 ho was
placed in an asylum in Cambridgeport,
Mass., under tho care of Dr. Dexter
Fairbanks. But his malady proving
incu ablo, he was brousrht to tho house
which his lute father had erected ex
pressly for him, on Fourteenth Street,
in this city a large, baronial, gloomy
looking structuro, surrounded by a
high wall, and the very existence ot its
nuf'ortunntc millionaire inmate was un
known to the present generation. Here
he remained until his doath, tbe sub
ject of unremitting attention on tho
part ot Ins medical attendant, who,
for forty-six yours, done all that skill
and sell-sacrificing efforts could do to
contribute to the comfort and relief of
his patient. The violence which at
times used to mark tho case gradually
disappeared, and of late years the
general health of Mr. Astor has been
comparatively good. Strangers who
mot him enjoying his daily exercises
could not have been roadily distin
guished him from any other infirm
old gentleman. But one other son re
main alivo, Wm. B. Astor, tho possess
or of forty-two million dollars' worth
of real and pcrsonnl property, and him
self quito an aged :i an.
ilio skating mania that seems to
pervado all classes this winter drew
together on Saturday, aided by tho
tempting atmosnhcro, thousands nt
tho ponds of tho Park. It is estimated
Miat ninety thousand poopio were
presont during tho day and evening,
and that at least sixty thousand of
both sexes skated. They comprised
all classes, and a better behaved assem
blage of peoplo could no where olso be
found.
Tho man that said "Frailty" thy
nnme is a woman, fortunately died
somo timo ago. Had ho lived to the
present time, and been a married man,
and his tioblo disinterested spouse
held the "whin-hand" of him ami
adopt ed somo of the prevailing eccen
tric fashions we soc on Droad way every
day, he would scarcely have hoped to
escapo from the grim penalties of a
lunatic asylum.

Senator Wallace, from Clearfield
County, lately read in place in the
body of wbicli ho is a member, a hill
declaring tin I stall genoral ami special
elections berenHer to ho held in tho
City of Philadelphia and the City of
Lancaster, the polls shnll no opened
at soven o'clock in the morning and
closed nt seven in tho cveninu . The
reason stated by tho Senator for this
cbango are, that tho law clotting tho
polls at six o'clock disfranchises many
laboring men, and is inconvenient in
practice by reason of tho hours of
daily lubor now in uso, cninpolling
them to remain nt their occupations
until tho polls aro closed, and that
facilities for tbo exercises of tho right
of suffrage by thoso legally and proper
ly qualified thereto should bo enlarged
and not restricted, Theso viows aro
plain and practical in their bearing,
and should induce tho Legislature to
pass tho bill as presented by Senator
Wallace. Thousands of workingmen
are not ablo to poll thoir votes under
tho present law. Ibis is unjust, lho
law-making power has no right to
disfranchise citizens, and any law
which has this effect should bo repeal
ed at tbo oarliost possiblo moment.
When the negroes of tho South atked
for time to deposit their votes it was
granted to tho length of two days.
Certainly the Legislature of this State
will not deny tho white workingmen
of this city and Lancaster the poor
boon of one hour in addition to tbe
timo during which they can now
vote. Age.
It is announced that Rev. William
R. Algeris writing tho"llistory of the

faithful historian, a large portion of

Congress. It will without doubt be a
standard work
In tbo late municipal election at
