WEDNESDAY MOKNINU, JAN. 9, 1M.
Louisiana is still tlitnrringCorigres,
ami if they don't "lot up" it will "bust"
the Kiuliciil prty. What pity Hint
would be.
The Legislature adjourned over on
Friday until to-day, Wodnosday, when
the members propnte to rotnm to their
post and do soino work.
A Dkad 8uot. T he Union League
club, in Now York, by a voto of 150 to
80, refUscd to approve of Grant's Louis
iana policy. That is a littlo rough on
"tho government," wo ahould say.
Kx-Gov. Theodore. F. ltundolph,l)em-
ocrat of Isew Jersey, has boon elected
United States .Senator from that Stato.
The Elk Democrat advocated tho re
turn of tho present Senator, Hon. John
P. Stockon. We had no choice in Now
Jersey, but we had in Pennsylvania,
Tho cloction of Judge Woodwurd
and Paxson to tho Kuprume Bench
created vacancies in thoir respective
judicial districts, which Governor
llartrunft bus tilled by tho appoint
ment of Craig Tlidillo, Kst., of Phila
delphia, and Henry Van liecd, Esq., ot
Reading.
Speaker Patterson. lion. Samuel
F. Patterson, the present speaker of
tho house is "to tho manner born."
His fathor, Wm. Patterson, of Wash
ington county, was Bpcakor in 1834,
and his uncle, Findlay Patterson, held
tho same position in 1845. Thus we
have father tjnelo and son succeeding
each other, 40 years intervening.
Another Death. Hon. William H.
Fagan, Democratic Member of the
llouso of lU'prcscntatives from the
third district, Philadelphia, died at the
Bolton House, llarrisburg, on Monday
a weok, after a short illness. This
makoa tho fifth member of that body
who has died since the election in No
vember. ' '
Unkind. Tho Itadical members of
tho Legislature refused to renominate
Hon. John Scott, for United States
Benator, last week, thus in effect con
demning his past Ku-Klux course.
Tho nominee was John Allison, ol
Beavor county, and for many years an
employe in tho Treasury Department
at Washington.
A Unit. The Iegisluture of Dela
ware has elected Tho. F. Bayard,
Democrat, Unilicd States Senator for
six yoars from tho 4th of March next
The vote was ananimous. There was
but ono Kadical elected to the Legisla
ture, in that State last fall, and he held
a caucus and instructed himself to
vote for Mr. Bayard, so as to make tho
vote unanimous.
Radical Economy. It perhaps is not
gonorallT kuvnu bUi u ... ...... ,r
Pennsylvania receives a higher salary
than ihe executive of any other State
in tho Union, (110,000). Kellogg comes
next, drawing 18,000 from tho . impov.
erished treasury of Louisiana, while
Mr. Tildcn accepts $4,000 as sufficient
remuneration for administering the
gubernatorial duties of a great State
like New York.
All Corrupt. Tho recent dovelop
mcnts in tho Steamship Subsidy show
that the Post Master and other inferior
officers hanging aronnd the doors of
tho present Congross, are as corrupt
as tho members. The Post Master
"Bill King," now a Radical Congress
man from Minnesota, pocketed 1125,.
000; a doorkeeper, 1 10,000; ono page
111,000; another 110,000, etc. There
is no qnestion that this money was
paid to those subordinates for the use
of Congressmen, to thus cover up tho
tracks of the roal thieves.
Nearlt all Sat Amen. The elec
tion of Mr. Wallace to tho Senate
has caused mora substantial rejoicing
throughout tho State than was ever
witnessed on any former occasion.
The Radicals can hardly keep quiet.
Although tbolcadors hate and tear him,
they concede his integrity and ability
and accept him as a trial Representa
tive of Pennsylvania, whose influence
will be wielded in the National Con
gress wholly in tho Interest of the
Htato and the Nation, rather than in
the interest of Credit JUobilicr, San
horn Contracts or Steamship subsidies.
Uioiilt Honored. Our member ot
tho Assembly,Col. UarUhorn, basbocn
assigned by Speaker Patterson to most
excellent positions in the formation of
the Committee of the Hoase. Ho is
mado Chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs, holds tho second plaoc
on tho Centennial Committee, and is
fifth on the Local Judiciary Commit
tee. It la with pleasure that wo chron
icle this mark of confidence reposed in
Col. Hartshorn by the Speak or of the
House, and we shall be greatly mis
taken if he doe not fulfill the expecta
tion of bis friends at home and in the
Legislature.
Good Chandler Defeated. That
Radical political goplior.Zaok Chandler,
of Michigan, was defeated for United
States Senator last week by a combi
nation of Democrats and sober Repub
licans, who succeeded in electing , II.
t'hrislancy by a vote of 64 to C4 fir
Zacki Michigan has therefore got rid of
the corruptrst demagogue within her
Imrdem. Chandler was tho man who
declared hi the Senate in 1861 that
there was no use in trying to save the
Union without some blood letting, yet
ho never went near a Udtk'Md, or
even sent a substitute. He belongs o
that herd made up of Colfax, Harlan,
etc., and will ntwer succeed in disgrac
ing the Halls ol tho National, nor any
tAher Legislature. Thus, ono after
mother of those political harlots is
turned out to pasture in their il Igotten
fields. They aro however all rich
rich from public plunder Elected to
receive a aalary of 5,000 they grab
lack for 17,500 and irwrd for a aim
liar amount, and then deal in 400 per
cent Credit Mobiler stock and wo
, dldies without -.umber.
SOMKBOIi Y LYIMi AiA Iff.
Our renders no doubt recollect the
question of veracity raised between
I'resideut Johnston and Gen. Grant,
during the nr Jtcnartmoiitomhiwlio
... ... ......
resulting in tho removal at Mtuntt.tv.
i ue rrcsmunt siateu a taei ana
the
General denied it. The former called
upon his cabinet to settle" the. TnitiriUnn
ot voraoity between tliem- Five of
tho members intimated tha' the (Joir-
eral of tho Army lied, nnd t wo of them
baby like sang dumb. The LouUi
ann outnigti has raised anothor quo
tion of veracity between PietUUnt
Grant and Congress. That body sent
a I'omioittoo to New Orleans to Inves
tigate and report tho inuso of the out
rages perpetrated in. tho State iu ques
tion. j.no uomnuttco report that tho
Democrats had ejected a decided ma
jority to tho Leialaturo, hut that they
wore counted out by tho Graut-Kellogg
rctumhig board, thus settling the out
rage, business uiion Grant and his
brother-in-law, Casey. Under those
circumstances, Senator Thiirmaii, of
Ohio, introduced a resolution in the
United States Senate calling upon tho
President to furnish that body with
his reasons for perpetrating the out
rages in question. Tho President an
swers through a lecture, entitled n
message, in which ho defends himself
in this way :
'To. irst Mil waa Saul by Ike Demoerats to
retaovo persona obaoiious to tbem front Ibt legis
lative ball, and the second wu from the Retiub-
lieaae to remov. person, who bod usurped mb
in fee rgt'Wfrc without Isgal oertifleates entitl
ing then lo Mill, Mil in sufficient number, to
change tho majority. A4odjf mi dialurorol by
las militmry woo kad a Itfnt right ot that fiste to
oreefio; a ssnf to tut seislorrs."
This statement is in direct conflict
with tho report of the Congressional
Committee, and now he has sent an
other committvo to New Orleans for
the purposo of fitting a report to his
lecture message. But wo have no
doubt that finally, like in tho Johnston
case, tho vcrucity question will be set
tled against Grant. i
A Vacancy. The promotion of Hon.
Wm. A. Wallace to tho United States
Scnatorship, will causo a vacancy in
this Senatorial District, ntlor the 4th
of March next. As thcro can bo no
substantial reason given for the hold
ing of a spooial election and thereby
incuring an expenditure 91,000 in each
of tho counties (Clearfield, Centre and
Clinton) composing tho district, wo
deem it wise not to hold such an elec
tion. Tho taxpayer will suffer far
worse financially by holding such an
cloction, thnn they will by being un
represented in tho State Scnato for
thrco or four weeks. By pursuing this
lino of policy, a largo sum of money
is saved to the taxpayers, and the elec
tion of a Senator for the unexpired
term of Mr. Wallace, which would he
for ono year, will oonio up in regular
order, and will cost us nothing. As
tho other two counties composing the
district havo both tho Judges for ton
years, nnd the Congressman, they will
of course file no objections to Clearfield
having the Senator, provided we pre
sent to the district conference a gentle
man the equal In integrity, intelligence
and experience of those presented from
Centre and Clinton. We know our
friends in Centre wore a llttly greedy
last fall. They wanted Congress,Judge
and Senator, but wo understand that a
streak of modesty bos set in, and they
will not push tho Senatorial question
.u vigorously. Our lnenus in Clin
ton are a little modest, too, admitting
that they have hud a full share of
political honor thrust upon them.
Failed. Hon. E. S. Dundy, a law
student in Senator Wallace' office
twenty-three year ago, and at ono
time Justice of the Pcaco in this bor
ough, well known to many of our citi
zens, came very near being elected
United States Senator from Nebraska,
last week. Ho at present holds tho
office of United States District Judge
in that State, Had ho not taken quite
so much stock in Grantism, ho would
have sncceodod. A combination ot
Democrats with anti-Grnnt Repnbli
cans brought about the election of
Judge Paddock, who claims to bo a
Liberal," and thereby succeeded in
dofeating both the Grant candidates,
Gen. Thayer and Judge Dundy. The
former was formely a Senator from
that State, and was defeatod by Hitch
cock two years ago, and now suffers a
second rout. We presume he will
novor bo a enndidato again, because
horcaftor tho Democrats will elect tho
Senators in that Stato. Louisiana,
Grant and Sheridan arc just doing for
tho Radical party what Kansas and
Lceotnpton did fbr the Democratic
party fifteen years ago.
Poor Reformers. We have long
since been satisfied that the Radical
leaders were not a success in tho way
of reform. Although everybody has
been using a retrenchment schedule for
over eighteen months, the Radical Con
gressmen cannot bo whipped into that
kind of a programme. Thcro were
two signigflraut reports mado to Con
gress last week, by the men who pro
pose to reform within thoir party lim
its all the abuse they havo practiced
for thepast IS years. One was against
a reduction of tho President' salary,
and tho other against an investigation
of tha Navy Department. Retrench
ment and investigation are not favored
by tho party in powor. Those fellows
like to talk about "retrenchment" and
reform" on the stump, but they nover
practice it in Congress or our State
Legislatures, where the people demand
it,
Cannot be Defended. The. eon-
duct of Mr, Burkalew toward Mr. Wal
lace, in tho recent canvas for United
State Senator, was an outrage. It is
true it did not amount to much, but
that was no fault of Mr. Bunknlew's.
Ho did his utmost to defeat Mr. Wal
lace. Had it not been for Clearfield's
representatives in tho Legislatute in
tho winter of 1863, Mr. Bnckalew would
never havo held a scat In the United
State Senate for six years. But for
Mr. Wallace and Dr. Boyer.Mr. Buck-
alew would havo spent those six years
in Bloomsburg Instead of Washington.

THE JiXXlV DISTRICT.
Much debato is just now going on

which will occur upou tho resignation
of Mr. Wallace.' The llarrisburg cor

- ; OUT of lmvon
Tho Radical organs do not like tho
drift of the recent Senatorial elections
throughout the several State a bit
mora than they did the result of the
last November cloctions. The Phil
dclphia iViwi, in alluding to tho ques
tion in this Slate, says:

I WHAT UK THINKS AND HOW HE SAVS IT.
John Lutta, the recently elected
l.ioitlununt Governor of tho Minto, uiitl
the flint incumbent of that olllee, was
riitaugurated on tho l!Hh inst. and do-
livered the following addressi
tienaton: I would not he eiiiressinir
the feelings of my heart If I lulled to
acknowledge my grateful appreciation
of tho confidence reposed in mu by the
people of the I'mumoiiwealth in choos
ing ni to fill tho office, tho duties of
which I uni about to assume. .Words

only pledge mvself to perioral mv
,worll'uy, t(. endeavor to discluirto
tho trust reisiscd in nut. so tlmt no rit -
l iuoi ot tlio Commonwealth may have
causo to regret my election.
In assuming the functions nThe(
oftino as President of this liononililu
body, I ask the indulgence of Senators
lor any short coinings on niy part, and
their aid nnd counsel in all mutters
pcrtuiiiing to the government of tho
Senate. . i ..
Though il is not my duly or privi-
lego to recommend to your coiisidnni -
tiou measures of legislation, 1 may bo
pardoned for referring to a tew mut
ters ol interest to the people ol tlio
State. ...
In a your and a half from now tho
hundredth anniversary of American
Independence will bo Celebrated.
Kvery citir.cn should fi.ol a patriotic
pride in using his best effort to en
sure n.succossl'ul celebration. By prop
er efforts the cxposil ion can be made
the greatest that civilization ever pro
duced. Let these efforts be made, so
that tho nations of the world may seo
the progress made by the peoiile of this
country. Before that greitt event In
our nation's life is reached, however,
concord and harmony, pence and Imp -
piness should extend their divine in-
Hucnces over the people of every State
in the union. With a union restored
in feeling and in interest, the "rolls of
right eternal" declaring the "sacred
rights of mnn" will brighten with ago,
and inspiro a warmer devotion to free
government than when displayed from
Independence Hull on July 4th, 1770.
In anticipation of this commit display
of the genius of free institutions, enre
should be taken that the laborers of
the coiintiy receive that consideration
which their merits deserve. In times
of national danger their strong arms
and hmvo hearts aro always depended
upon. In all our wars they have filled
our armies and fought as freemen nlouo
could fight. For their devotion in
times of war and danger there should
be secured to them the most ample en
joyment of all the rights and privileges
when tho triumphs of pence are being
achieved, and when such celebrations
aro being held. In State nnd In nation
their interests ought to be so guarded
and protected, as to assure them equal
ity of right nnd privilcgo before the
law with all other classes.
Pennsylvania has rich and fertile
valleys of farming land, vast fnrests of
valuable timber, imineasiirctihle fields
of coal, mountains of iron, inexhaustible
deposits of petroleum and great manu
facturing establishments, all of which
need the care of wise legislation. But
with all her great resources of wealth
and prosperity, Pennsylvania has never
forgotten her proud position as the
Koystnno of tho political arch, and has
always been true to tho Union, to lib
erty and to free government. And
though her proud head isiilmost mot ion
less and her tougiio partly silent in re
gard to tlio wrongs and injustice dono
to the freedom of a sister Stato by
bold, bad men, who are supported in
their usurpations by t he military nowor
of the federal government, yet her great
boart is true, and sends to Heaven the.
prayors of nearly four millions of hor
children that tho rights und liberties
of the peoplo of that oppressed Com-
monwcHim may soon lie restored. A
littlo more pntienco, a little more en--J
nno nf rt ronir and vlolenoo Lr akon. i
on whom the alilicilon falls, and the
nation s soul will awaken and its heart
respond to tho calls of justice. The be
trayers of trnsts, tho violators of con
stitutions, tho destroyers of Legisla
tures, and the enemies of frco institu
tions, will soon bo retired from their
scenes of action in utter dishonor. The
rights and Interests of. all sections of,
tho country and of all classes of citir.cns
should ho uliko respected. Uniformity j
of laws is important, but equally im-j
portanta is uniformity in cxecutittg Ihrm.
Though nearly ten years have come
and gone since tho angel of pence spread
its wings over tho land and proclaimed
tho end of strife, yet no fruits of peace
havo been suffered to ripen in some
portions of tho Republic. Tho waves
of passion and prejudice, of wroni; nnd
violence, still flow and ebb across the
land, disturbing the "married calm of
States," and preventing the growth of
too material iniorcsis oi ine tieopic.
11 Is to be hoped that ere tho sun
lightens up the day which will mark
the hundredth anniversary of our na
tion's independence, the sun of liberty
may shino in all his glory over all the
State restored in all their rights under
ma constitution, and that even' A men-
can citir.cn shall, ns such, havo his
rights rcspoeted.
THE PltESWENTS JUGGLERY
Although tho act of the soldiers in
disbanding the Louisiana lAigislaturo,
has been disowned by the J 'resident,
the wrong has not been repaired. The
rump Legislature which met in the hall
after tho military had entered it and
caused the body already organised to
disorso, has been TcorgtinuuH by the
Governor and hits sent to W ashington
a negro Senator. Apparently tbo Pres
ident is determined that his friends in
Louisiana shall reap all the advantage
which can attach to tho power which
tho wrongful act of tho army of tho
United Slates enabled them to usurp.
It is very humiliating to the national
pride to see (he scut of Washington oc
cupied by a man with soul so moan as
to causo him to repudiato the act of a
mllttury subordinate which he tiara not
approve, and who yet will not act to
repair tho wrong that has been done.
The jugglery of tho President with
tho lioiiisinna business has been very
disgraceful. Ho first very cordially
approved not only of tho act of tho
military, hnt of tho infamous despatch
es of Sheridnn ; this is dearly proven
by t ho "all ot us, despatch ol Hoero-
tary Belknap, who certainly would not
have sent such a message without hav
ing ascertained tho sentimcnUi of the
l'residrnt; having toiind what theso
wore ho did not hesitate to assume
that tho rest of the Cabinet would
agree with its chief. When this was
found to bo an error, and when the in
dignant feeling of the people found ex
pression, tbo President sent to Con
gress a message, in which ho does not
give his approval to the conduct of the
military, but pmleavors to leave the
impression that what was nnlnwfullv
done was but tho natural act nf a sim
ple soldier ignorant of the law. Hut
tho fact is that General do Trobriaiid
hold a written order which tho Prc.
dent himself directed should bo given
him, ordering him to oliey the com
mands of Governor Kellogg. A United
State officer was placed tinder tho
ordria of tbo Governor of the State
with tho Intent that bo should keep
his pnrty in power by the nso of tho
national army, and tho result of such
uso of tho army must have lieon as
readily foreseen by tbo President as it
oertainly was gratifying to him when
accomplished. Jtncaii(tr fairtllgrtutr.

but that would hove been a stretch of.

Wo have heretofore expressed our
opinions of Mr. Wallace pretty fully.
We have full faith in his integrity,
sound Democracy and ability, but Uion
questions nf propriety, both in official
action and in measures of political ex
pediency and strict adherunco to ultra
Dcmocmtio doctrines, we have differed
fiom him and have at all times given
free expression lo that difference. As
he is now the Senatorial choica of his
party, wo propose to judge him hcro
nfter altogether by his action in the
Federal Senate. Ho is probably not
fifty years of ago, is very energetic, has
great ability and is pretty thoroughly
filled with n just ambition und lively
hope of eminence. Of late years the
Senator of the United States is charac
terized by a higher order of ability and
statesmanship thnn was its general
make up during the war. To acquire
nnd maintain distinction in that body
berenfler will cull into requisition tho
very highest abilities and tho iternest
opumition lo every form of corruption
und governmental oxtravaganco. That
Mr. Wallaco will prove, oqual to tbo
occasion wo do not doubt and is our
earnest hopo. To thoso who havo
heretofore opposed his aspirations wo
now appeal to judge him fairly, im
partially and even generously by bis
future act, Let bis hands bo strength

confidence in his capacity and motives,
anil if ho does not then acquit himself
as his enthusiastic frionds anticipate
tho fault run only be ascribed to him
self. . v.',

to be libeled and abused by the opposi

A COXTRAST.''"' ' '
The reason which impelled Presi
dent Johnson to send Gen. Sheridan
away from Louisiana in 1807, are those
which induced Gen. Grant to send him
thcro in 1875. Ho had shown an utter
disregard of civil authority, trampled
the Constitution under foot, and har
assed tho people by every method of
torture, uuiit iuw wus suoveneu anu
the military ruled supremo. i
Tho President knew hi presence
was hateful to the population, and that
in these eight years Sheridan has
longed for an opportunity of revenge.
Henco ho was chosen to carry out a
vindictive policy, which suited tho
malice of his master and at the samo
timo addressed itself to hi personal
feelings. ,
It nover entered the mind of either
that this appointment was a positive
reflection on Gen. McDowell, the com
mander of the department and ou Gen.
Emory, who for nearly throe yearn
past has personally commanded all the
troops in Louisiana and executed the
orders from Vt ashington to tbo last
letter. For what reason have these
officers been superseded T
Surely, it will not be pretended that
they have tailed in any duty, however
irksome, or refused to cooperate in the
era shing ou l process concocted at VY ash
ington. They even obeyed the Attorney-General
when tho President
assumed to mako him Commander-in-Chief
of the Army, and lo confer upon
him functions which aro not iranslera-
hle by tho Constitution.
They perhaps would not fulsify the
facts, pervort the truth, or givo cheer
ful support to Kollogg and his usurpa
tion, and henco they wore put under
tho ban and disgraced as lar as the r,x-
ecutivo action could do it, by beine
thrust asido without a complaint pre
ferred against them or a causo to jus
tify this gross indignity, If they had
been swift witnesses to calumniate a
whole peoplo, and had sympathised
with tho scoundrels who have stolen
tho people's money, tho favor of tho
W hite llousowould have been aa cer
tain and prodigal aa that offered to
Sheridan fur doing tho disgraceful
worit.
In honorable contrast with tho bru
tality of Sheridan shines nut th me
morable order .No. 40, issued by tien,
llnncnck when ho took command of
tho Fifth District, with his headoaar-
tors at New Orleans, on the 20th of
November, 1807. Tho closing: words
deserve to be written In letter ol gold,
as a guide lor every military officer:

Anotiikr DurAiCATion. The New
York Sim say: There is a rumor
prevalent in army circles that another
army puymaster has come to grief.
Tho umoiintof tbo defalcation is this
timo stated to be happily only 1:10,000.
The rumor is to tha effect that the ac
cused hus been found guilty, dismissed,
and ordered to bo confiuod in tlio
Albany Penitentiary. Tho details aro
so meagre, and the whole affair shroud
ed in such mystery, that we withhold
the name tor the present The court
martial orders promulgating tho pro
ceedings have so fur, we are informed,
been circulated among the staff' officers.
As this subject of dedication, trial or
non-trial, and imprisonment with all
tho chances of almost iiumodiato par
don is deeply interesting to the tax
payers of our country, we trust it will
not be long before tho whole details
are mado public. Meanwbilo it might
bv a pertinent inquiry to muko. What
was tho Inspector-General doiug that
ho should allow a paymaster to become
involved to that extent ? The law re
quires frequent,-wa beliove monthly,
insiections nf disbursing officers' ac
counts and deposits, and this law was
framed after the Hodge defalcation
with tho exjiectution that a repetition
of such an offence would becoino an
impossibility. . . ... ..

ViAisnys : "The President is very anx

.Should Congress adjourn without pass

new territorial organization will cost
the United State government about
