Secretary of State.
Among the names we have heard sug
gest' I for (he office of Secretary of State,
we know of none more tit for the position
than Hon. THOMAS E. COCHRAN, of
York. His high standing, legal knowl
edge, unquestioned probity, ami business
qualifications, would give Gen. Geary a
valuable confidant and adviser, one, too,
in wi. ni the people of this State repose
as much confidence as any man who has
ever tilled a public trust.
Republican vs. Copperhead
>1 anagement.
The condition of our National and State
finances is of the most satisfactory char
acter, ami although many abuses natural
ly crept in in conducting a war of such
magnitude as that through which we
pa>s,.,'i, there is no doubt had the copper
head faction of the democracy been in
power !In* National Government would
have been in debt a thousand millions
more tha i it is, and Pennsylvania, in
st . I of redeeming $3,01)0,000 of her debt
this y<-ar and releasing the tax-payers of
three mills 011 the assessed valuation ot
real estate, would be as deep in the mire
as she was under the old Canal and Por
tage Railroad democracy. Smaller mat
ters uisw point out the difference between
lli- two parties. Thus, Behuvlkill coun

Ex-Governor Perry concludes a
letter against the constitutional amend
ment by the following remarks:
"Let in e cone I tide by assuring you that,

it seems to us South Carolina had
honor enough when site opened the
rebellion, and by the subsequent visit of |
Sherman's army. Should her "honor" j
however induce her to go into another re- '
heliion, and all oi her chivalry would not
die in the " last ditch," we hope to see
the day when her population will he gal- j
lante<i out oi the State in a body, and the
whole territory given to the blacks with
a lease for i>99 years, renewable forever—
in fact that ought to have been done at
the close of the war, and would have been
a lit punishment, as well as warning, to
the F. K. chivalry for all time to come.

Ay■ w Book by Mrs. Emma D. E N
.Vou/Aicorf/i.-T. B. Peterson <fc Brothers'
Philadelphia, have in press and will pub- 1
Lsh on Saturday, December loth, a new i
book by Mrs. Emma D. E. X. South
worth, entitled "The Bride of Llewel
lyn," which will, beyond all doubt, prove
to be t he most popular and successful work
that luis ever been written by her, for she 1
i- beyond all question the most powerful
female writer in America, if not in the j
world. A o one ever read a chapter of one
of lier works, without wishing to read the j
whole book. Her scenes are life-pictures,
and her incidents founded on facts.—
She has the rare faculty of saying what 1
she means, and of saying it in such a
manner that her meaning cannot be mis
interpreted. In short, she possesses it, an
eminent degree those qualifications which
aiv the peculiar prerogatives of a good
writer; and while she delights the read
er's imagination with her descriptive
beauty, she applies home truths to his
understanding with the force of rational
conviction. The " Bride of Llewellyn"
will be welcomed by all such readers es
pecially ; and those who have never read
the works of this gifted woman should
not fail to buy and read this new novel
by this gifted American authoress.
Hread and flutter.
A rumor having got abroad that Con
gress would take some of the appointing
power from the President's hands by law,
in order to relieve that functionary of a
portion of his troubles, the Philadelphia
Daily News, whose editor was appointed
Naval Officer a few months ago, waxes
wroth and concludes an article in his pa
per of November 3, sis follows:
"Toobtain " breadand butter," orsome
thing equivalent to it, is a necessity, and
what will a man not do for the purpose of
getting food? but the idea that one should
kill his father and mother for tiny pur
pose when there are other means of ob
taining it is not more revolting than that
a set of political tricksters and freebooters
should undertake to revolutionize a gov
ernment like ours simply that they might
have the opportunity to feed from its lar
der."
If the News will turn to its article pub
lished on the morning after the October
election, and probably written with the
expectation of a copperhead victory in
Pennsylvania, it can there see what a
man would do to secure an office. The
second paragraph in that article reads as
follows:
"If we were simply asked what the Con
stitution expressly authorizes the Presi
dent to do, we should have no difficulty
in answering the question, and if we were
asked what latitude of action might he al
lowed in a time of extreme danger to the
very existence of the Republic, we should
say that if it he right to take the acts of
the present Congress as precedents, th>
Prrsid' at would be justified in sending a
body of troops to the Capitol and arrest
ing all the member* of Congress, //lacing
(hem in prison, and carrying on the gor
eminent without their aid or their interfe
rence. If he should do so, they, at least,
would have no right to complain ; for it
would merely he doing what they are now
doing, acting without regard for the Con
stitution."
Considering that Congress has tlie con
stitutional right to do what is proposed,
and that the course recommended hv the
Daily News would he usurpation and a
total destruction of our constitutional gov
ernment, this is about as cool a proposi
tion to retain bread and butter as we have
ever heard of, and would do away with all
elections, legislatures,judicial bodies, &c.,
as the Serene Highness the News would
••reate would no doubt supply the people
at large with "conservative" patriots to
rule them. We do not know what pros
pect Mr. Flanigen had for a confirmation
of his nomination, hut we suspect when
that paragraph will rise up in judgement
against liiui before the Senate, as it prob
ably will, even the two democratic whis
ky Senators who never draw a sober
breath from the beginning to the close of
die session will vote against him.

" The Camp, the Battle-field and the
Hospital," or Light* and Shadows of the
Ureat Rebellion, is the title of a handsome
volume, just issued by the National Pub
lishing Company, 507 Minor Street, Phil
adelphia, Pa. The author, Dr. L. P.
Rrockett, has delved most industriously
amongst the masses of curious incidents
which have marked the late war, and has
grouped and classified theni under appro
priate heads, and in a very attractive form.
There is a certain portion of the war
that will never go into the regular histo
ries, nor be embodied in romance or poe
try, which is a very real part of it, and
will, if preserved, convey to succeeding
<rt>ri<>fltiotlU • ;.!.< .r UK' l>f
theconflict than many dry reports or care
ful narratives of events, and this part may
be called the gossip, the fun, the pathos of
the war. This illustrates the character of
the leaders, the humor of the soldiers, the
devotion of women, the bravery of men,
the pluck of our heroes, the romance and
hardships of the service. From the be
ginning of the war the author has been
engaged in collecting all the anecdotes
connected with or illustrative of it.
The volume is profusely illustrated with
over 100 engravings by the first artists,
which are really beautiful; worthy of ex
amination as specimens of the art. The
book's contents include reminiscences of
camp, picket, spy, scout, bivouac, siege
and battle-field adventures; thrilling feats
of bravery, wit, drollery, comical and lu
: dicrous adventures, etc., etc.
Amusement as well as instruction may
be found iu every page, as graphic detail,
brilliant wit, and authentic history, are
skilfully interwoven in this work of lite
rary art.
It is just such a volume as will find nu
merous purchasers, and just such a one as
, persons seeking to act as book-agents
' should add to their list.
NOTICE.
The'beautiful Piano Fortes of Groykstkit k Co. are
deemed by all good judges to be the Ultima Thult of
instruments of the kind.
We eaunot suggest what is wanting to make a mu
siesl instrument more perfect. although we are slow
to admit that the limit of improvement can ever be
attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre
sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe
tition with instruments of the best makers of this
country and Europe, and received the reward of mer
it, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It
is but justice to say tnat thb judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by them
to their Pianos, it is admitted that a m.re perfect in
strument lias been made. They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more
excellent. Surely, afler this, they are entitled to the
motto-Excelsior." novl-t-ly
