Cemnc.. OWeara and Steoopt.
We last week briefly adverted to
the contcBt now boing waged at Hur
riiburg, to oust )lr. Shugart from bis
eat in the State Senate. Tbe trio of
worthios who have undertaken this
job, are John Cessna, of Bedford ; one
of the most God-forsaken Irishmen
now alive, named O'Meara, who has
just missed three penitentiaries; acd
our own Swoope II. Bucher Swoope.
The legal ability, versatility of genius,
forensie eloquence a.id Irish wit pos
sessed by thia firm are unequalled
on this continent. The proud mantle
of professional fame so long enjoyed
by the world-renowned firm of Quirk,
Gammon & Snap, now descends to
grace the shoulders of tbo recently
established but highly successful legal
and moral partnership above alluded
to. That they are equal to tbe emer
gency, seems to be amply attested by
a late number of tho Pittsburg Com
mercial, in which the achievements of
at least two of the firm (O'Meara and
Bwoopc) are heralded with ponderous
head Hues and notes of exclamation,
together with the pleasant details by
which they succeeded in diddling both
the political parties out of their green
backs. The "untutored" Irish, of
whom one of tho firm seems to have
been the keeper, were incontinently
sold to another membor of tbe firm,
(who loves them excessively,) and
eighty-five dollars were honestly made.
Having voted them in tho interest of
the firm, it became his high duty to
expose fraud and protect the purity
of the ballot-box, (!) and straightway
he proclaims that be must havo $2,000,
or ho would go to Ilarrisburg. But
greenbacks being scarce, and Senator
Wallace refusing to pay more than
1100 per month, (sensible man as he
was,) ho turns around and takes (500
of John J. Tatterson's (of Juniata
ralley fame) money, shows it to his
partner's boy and sundry other con
venient witnesses, and then departs
for Elmira, N.Y., to meet tho Sergeant-at-Arms
; whenco he goes to testify.
AUV ttow MIUIIWJ ui buiy r.iy '
O'Meara we understand, is so full of
inconsistencies and contradictions,and
bis utter depravity and want of char
acter is so well known in this com
munity, that it seems scarcely worth
while to comment npon it. He is
certainly a worthy tool of a worthy
master, and it seems highly probable
that if stiff swearing and downright
perjury will oust Mr. Shugart from
his scat, it will be done. No one who
knows the two junior members of the
firm, will doubt for a moment that the
case will be put through on stern prin
ciples; and if we mistake not, O'Meara
will find himself in tho place to which,
in loss than one year, three individuals
bavo boon piloted by tbe man in
'specs tho penitentiary for the
crime of PERJURY; while John J.
Patterson has aptly illustrated the
old saying, that a fool and his money
are soon parted. The ability and ex
pedition by which tho junior member
ot this firm gets his clients into tho
penitentiary, should be a warning to
all evil-doers ; therefore, Patterson &
Co. had better look out.
TJarrisburq. Our Legislators are
getting along about as well as could
be expected at this early period of the
session. The committee men are just
becoming acquainted, and the new
members are getting "the hang of tho
school house," and will soon bo ablo
to do something for the poor people,
whose interests are always uppermost
in their thoughts. In a week or ten
days at tbo farthest the members will
begin to turn out tbe jobs fur tho
interested and curious to look at and
criticize To tho present nothing of
importance has been acted upon, un
less we accept the Connellsvillo rail
road bill. The "free railroad" blow
ers aro doing some heavy work, and
would lead tho public to believe that
if they had a charter in accordance
with their peculiar views, they would
make a railroad to every farm-house
in tho State. But it is very doubtful
if they would keep a charter over
riighl, should tho Lcginlature see fit
10 give them one. They would Bell
-out to tho "great monopoly," or any.
body else that would pay tbcm their
price.
Not Consistent. Tho Black Re-
publicans of our Legislature want to
give tho laboring men in our citic,
but six hours' limo in which to deposit
their votes, while their Rump brethren
at Washington givo tho niggers in
Alabama six days to do it in.
Tho loyal members of tho Kansas
Legislature have elected a Miss Emma
Hunt one of their enrolling clerks.
Mis Emma has certainly got into bau
company. Jayhawkers are not likely
to Impfovt the morals of young ladies.

W Wt week briefly referred to
tho Paulhamus pardon cairn, and we
do not hesilato to affirm thai his par
don Is an O'ltrngeout Interference by
tho Governor with tho course of public
justice. This man was rightly con
victed; his character is and always
has been bad ; ho was proven guilty of
the crime of swearing corruptly false
to cheat a soldier, who could neither
read nor write, out of $1,100. There
were no politics in tho case; lie was
triod by a jury of five .Republicans
and seven Democrats; an impartial
chargo was delivered to the jury,
and ho was fairly convicted; yet,
within five days after tho sentence, he
was roleased, upon a pardon granted
by Geary.
Geary has a sot of rules, framed by
himself, to regulate pardons. The
Ditttrict Attorney cf this county asked
their application to this case, but not
one of them was regarded. In the
ense of Erhard, who plead guilty of
larceny in this county, and who served
nine months of his term, and then was
dying with oonauniptiun, this moat
consistent Govornor required tho lit
eral compliance with every one of his
rules, and this, too, although Court,
jury, District Attorney and leading
citizens prayed for his release. The
reason of this difference was, that
Erhard was a Democrat, Paulhamus
a Republican. Geary pnrdonod Paul
hamus without a line from the Court
or jury, and in the teeth of right and
justice, because his counsel, Swoope,
asserted that he was the victim of
Copperhead persecution. This was
utterly false; and if he had taken the
pains to investigate tho facts, he would
have learned that the verdict convicted
both counsol and client in public esti
mation. If ho had inquired of the
Republican members of the bar here,
ho would havo learned that they be
lieved it a just conviction. It was
such in fact, and we can assure Geary
that he must either not act so ban lily,
or get better counsel. lie has lately
got into a broil with a Court in Phila
delphia, and he feels deeply tho keen
cuts administered to him by Judgo
Allison. If ho continnes the policy
that tho York county caso and this
case show him guilty of, and is con
nected with a fow more Fort Delaware
frauds, he will probably hear it thun
der all around the sky before his term
of office expires.
Verily, in tho classic language of
John Covodo, "Geary is tho hum-
buggedest Governor we ever had."

offer is being made by tho whisky and

effcots no one otherwise than morally,
which is about playod out Tho left

his paper, charges Gen. Grant with

perance Lcaguo will have some work

movement. Tho great falling off in
tho public revenues, in somo localities,
has for somo time attracted tho atten

tho people generally. An investiga
tion has brought to light tho fact
and tho Secretary so intimates that
this great falling off has taken place
in those districts where the appointors

and tho reported increase occurs whore

of the Philadelphia Age:

----- w -
during tho war, and bu for his rum
upon tho Troasury for his pay, no
historical record of his deeds would
doscend to futuro generations. His
Gubornatoritil career, however, thus
fur at least, is likely to smear over
soverul pages of State history that
will hardly be relished by himself and
friends. Hi pardoning business is
likely to give him much celebrity, if
ho continues to travel on tho same
line.
On this subject we give tho follow
ing, taken from tho York Gazette :
Governor Geary has sont a commu
nication to the Legislature containing
a list ot the pardons crrantou by him
from which it appoars that from Jan
uary nrst, Js07, to January first, inw,
His Excellency granted tho startling
number of fifty-two pardons, just av
eraging ono a week lor the year.
General complaint is expressed by
the Democratic and Conservative press
throughout the State, not only at the
great number of pardons, hut that a
vory largo proportion of thorn were
grantod to members of tho Radical
party, on partisan grounds. A great
number of those pardoned had bcon
convicted of a violation of the election
laws, in tho interests of Governor
Geary's party.
We now intend to speak more par
ticularly of the pardons of Governor
Geary, in the county of York.
On the 81st of January, 18G7, Gov
ernor Geary issued certain rules and
regulations, and on tbe 11th of March,
1807, John W. Bittengor, Esq., the
District Attorney of York county, re
ceived the following communication :
Attobxkt-G annuaia Orwirt,
liarriabarg, March II, 18IS7. )
Pin: I have tha honor to enclose herewith a
priuted copy of the Kegulationi for Perdunt,
adopted by Ilia Eaoellency, tha Governor, on the
31 St day of January, 1107.
With great respect, I remain, youra, an.,
(Signed) BrajiKia Uaaate llatwarra.
The rules and regulations enclosed
in this communication were as follows :
RKoi'LATiojti roa rannont.
Firit. No pardons will be granted until notice
of tha applications therefor shall hara been given
by pablicatioa one a week, for two eonaecutira
weeks, in a newspaper printed in the county in
which the conviction was had.
fcteeond. No pardon will be granted unless no
tieeof tba application shaU bare been given to tbe
Judge who tried the causa, to the District Attorney
or to the attorney who prosecuted. Proof of which
notice shall be furnished this department.
j bird. All applications for pardon must have
with them the following papers written in a elear
and distinct hand :
1. A oortified onpy of th whole record, Including
docket entries, sninutes of oourt, copy of indict
ment, pleas, and all other papers on hie m the court
relating to the case.
2. A full statement of tbe reasons upon which
the applieatioa ia baaed, eetting forth all tba facts ;
tho nuU'S of evidence taken on trial ; letters from
rosponsible persons in tba community where the
enras was committed ; a recommendation from the
jurors who sat on tha trial, and if any of tbem

must be accompanied by a printed copy of same
in pamphlet form, twelve copies of which, at loftst.
must be sent to this Department. If the parties

r-evcnih. As these rules are intended to sub
serve tbe administration of juitise, they will be
strictly enforced, and related only when good rca-
sous snail ne turuisued lor so doing.

Subsequently to this tho following
pardons were grnntod to this county:

tion John llollitbuRh, Daniel Holla

April 23, 1807 Malicious mischief
and assault and battery Robert
smith.
August 20, IRC" Assault and Bat-
tcrv John Fink.
October 6, 18G7 Assault and Bat
tery S.imucl Rutb.
All these pardoned as above
stated, were Republicans, with per-
hnps one exception ; and this with the
fact that tho persons beaten, abused
and injured, were Democrats, no doubt
accounts for these acts of Exccutivo
clemency.
Tho most remarkable featuro of the
acts of the Governor is that t'n no tin
gle case, excryt that of Robert Smith,
teas there any letter or recommenda
tion from the District Attorney, Judge
or Jurors,vho tried the cote, for par
don: or any publieation.
Tho Governor also gives a list of
rorloited Keoognir.ances remitted, un
der which appears the following :
1. Frederick Stallman and Jacob
Koons entered recoirniF.anco June 4.
and July IS, 1SG6, for the appearance.

bad committed no act warranting
their arrest ; and that said Stallman
an Koons were innocent parties pray
ina for relief from punixhment fiir
having dono an act of kindness to
wards men not charged with felony,
but a simple misdemeanor.
Wo havo been furnished with the fol

Dear Hin : 1km in receipt of your

Stallman and Jacob Koons, in tho ca
ses of Sanford and Dcmot. In answer
to vour reouest that I should furnish
any special roasrn why the forfeitures
in thoaa oases should nub bo remitted,
I have to say that I have consulted
with the Hoi. It. J. Fudier, President
Judge of this District, who received a
similar letter from you, and wo arc
both of the opinion that the applica
tions to havo tho recognizances remit
ted aro wibiout merit, and that the
prayer of tie petitioners should not be
granted.
bun lord and JJcmot, strangers in
this community, were arrested on
suspicion jf being professional bur
glars, and in thoir possession were
tound tho most complete and elegant
set ot bu'giar s tools ever imported
into the County of York. These in
strument!, including even powder and
fuso, are yet in tbo hands of the offi
cers who made the arroHt, and aro se
curely 'deposited for safe keeping.
nantord and JJemot were in addition
each arned with splendid revolvers,
which are also secured. 1 hey were
committed to jail, but as no overt act
or burtrliry was yet committod by
them, so lar as I could discover, tho
indictments were framed and true
bills were found for feloniously carry
ing deadly weapons in tho Borough
of York, under the special act. -Sev
eral daring burglaries had a short
time before been committed in lork.
and public sentiment ran high against
any release ot the prisoners. The
Court properly fixJ the bail high,
and it was a oped that these deKperute
men migni oo, at least lor a Hhort

the money involved from tho Treasu

Messrs. HLullnijii and Koons, especial

sideration for thoir disinterested (?)
friendship to these mon, who did not
even claim to b citizens ot this Com
monwealth, j
I may state n addition, that ono
of tli040 men attempted to escapo
from prison hen, by breaking his cell
and that public sentiment is almost
unanimous in a desire to have the re
cognizances euoi out and collected.
In couelusiot, I would respectfully
suggest that an amendment to the pe
nal code bo pissed, punishing as a

glarious tools, aw also making it a fel

with tho positio'i. Tho choice of the
Democracy hero seems to bo chiefly
in lavor of Pendleton, of Ohio. Sey
mour comes next, though it is known
ho is not activo in the canvass; and
Andy Johnson follows last, backed up
mainly by Herald. Tho Republi
cans generally favor Chase; somo
.Senator Morgan, and others Fenton,
who is not without a powerful array
of influential adherents, who will back
him up strong against tho field. We
hoar very little recently of Mr. A. T.
Stewart, the rich' dry-goods man of
ilroaUwny.and his candidate, General
Grant, whom ho has been urging for
ward as the "coming man."
Tho entire country, however, is be
ing Hooded with campaign documents
by the friends of all the candidates.
Iu all theso movoments finatico and
taxation appears to have been lost
sight of altogether. W hear nothing
more about repudiation or cancelling
the government indebtedness with
greenbacks. Tho republican policy
seems to be based entirely upon re
construction, and will put forth their
nominee in May next. '1 ho democratic
policy is no Presidential Candida to un
til the last moment. They will thus
bo in a position to take chances of
uniting all tho opposing elements in
their lavor in the selection of a standard-bearer.
Tho development of their
policy will not bo made, however,
until some event shall occur to muni
lest, unmistakably, the direction of
publio sentiment. On the other hand
the republicans go into the canvass
with their candidalo irrevocably desig
nated nearly a year in advance, which,
heretofore, has novcr failed to prove
injurious, if not fatal, to every party
iu tho country who has attempted it.
Since tho fashionable season was
first imported, Now York at the com
mencement ot it, has never been in
so deeply blue a condition ns at the
present time. Matrimony in tho high
est of circles has really almost susjien
