The Senatorial Question.
The withdrawal of Col. Forney as a
candidate for Senator, seems to have nar
rowed down thecontest to (Jen. CAMERON, I
THADDEUS STEVENS, and Gov. CIRTIN,
and it is probable one of these will repre
sent Pennsylvania in the U. S. Senate in
place of Mr. Cowan. In intellect and
statesmanship Mr. Stevens towers far
ahove all others, and but- for his advanced
age we should have no hesitation in de
claring him as our first choice; and even
as it is, we should feel gratified to see him
in that elevated position. The indications
however in the Northern tier of counties
—Mie great strongholds of republicanism
are that Gen. Cameron will receive their
support, and as he has friends in all parts
of the State, there is a strong probability
that in the end the contest will be nar
rowed down to Cameron and Curtin.—
Experience has repeatedly taught that in
times like the present we want men of
.1; mness and nerve; men in whom we can
; e implicit confidence that they will
•ay the trust reposed in them; and
*-' d! see that when the results of the
n are adjusted the loyal people of
tiie ;\ast, North, West and South, have
"<iii'i\ ior the Jut lire. Gov. Curtin t/tuy

Of the merits or demerits in this partic

of those engaged in restraining the liquor
traffic within tiie law. The proceedings
may have been instituted through mali
cious motives—may have been the result
of a quarrel—butas he was tried and con
victed of the gravest offences that can he
•ommitted against the well-being of u
'-ommuiiit> under timt lu\v T we must pre
suine that Governor Curfln had good and
sufficient reasons for granting a pardon
before sentence, by which the tax-payers
are made to pay the entire costs of the
case tlirough the county commissioners.
But admitting this, we believe a majority
of pardons in such liquor cases are wrong
unjust and injurious, and most pernicious
in their results, because they tend to a
conviction in the public mind that it is
almost useless to institute proceedings—
for. it is a notorious fact, that "the pub
lic has come to the conclusion if such ca
ses are not settled, a flaw in the indict
ment. some technicality in the law, the
verdict of the jury, or lastly a previous or
subsequent pardon, in nine cases out of
ten. releases the defendant, ami that it is
almost useless to go to law on that sub
ject.
In the same court where this case oc
curred, Lusatta I. Nichols was sentenced
to nine months in jail, costs, &c. for adul
tery; Daniel Bausman to the House of
Ketuge until 21 for larten,, 0/fruit; Wm.
Ktiue to HO fine and costs for fornication,
and James Graham to $lO fine and costs
for assault and battery. Here the course

In a few weeks Gen. Geary will be in
augurated as Governor. Let him, at the
outset, make it .a rule that lie will <,♦ in
terfere in cases where there is clear and
undeniable testimony of a violation of
the liquor laws, and he will do much to
wards restoring public opinion to a belief
that such laws can and will be enforced
against those who now violate them with
impunity, or pass them by as obsolete.
From Waghitytom
The rebel element in all the Southern
.States seems to be more industrious than
ever in proving the necessity of such a
thorough reconstruction as will secure pei
fect protection to the 1 nion men, white
and black. The Kentucky seeesh were
not satisfied until they had General Jef-|
ferson C. Davis appointed in that depart- ;
merit, arid yet the eases of their disregard j
of law and of their hatred of the colored I
race are of such appalling frequency, un- j
tier his rule, as to have convinced him J
that they deserved all the severest meas
ures of his predecessors.
An army officer, now in Washington,
from Georgia, states that seventy-five out
rages upon freedmen, many of them de
liberate murders, are not only left unpun
ished, but the perpetrators are going at
large, exulting in their barbarity. Two
revolting cases in South Carolina have
just been officially reported. In the one
a local court tried a Union soldier for cap
turing a rebel train during the war, and
sentenced him to be hung, and in the
other a son of the mayor of Columbia de
liberately killed a negro on the outskirts
of the town, who was carrying home a
load of corn. The young knight of the
palmetto accused the negro of having sto
len the corn, which the latter stoutly de
nied, when his white oppressor tried to
ride him down, which being resisted lie
killed the poor freedman on the spot, lie
rode back iuto town and surrendered him
self to the local courts, and was honora
bly acquitted!
GEN*. GRANT AND TIIE ZOOK MURDER.
When Mr. Zook, of Lancaster county,
reached Washington and laid the facts of
the murder of his relatives in Mississippi
before General Grant, including a history
of their honest enterprise in locating and
beginning business in that section, he is
said to have become very indignant; and
well he might, for human annals furnish
few instances of such savage ferocity.
General Grant ordered an officer to pro
ceed to the scene of the tragedy and to ar
rest all panics concerned in it. The
Freed men's llureau, suspected and de
nounced in the very highest quarters, and
hated with bitterness by the rebels, will
be sustained by the strong arm of the ac
tive head of the American army.
Colliery SMv.istcrs In England.
The awful calamities in York and Staf
ford, England, excite the most painful in
terest.
On Thursday, Dei*. 13th, a third explo
sion took place at the Oaks colliery at 10
o'clock. There is no longer any hope for
those in the pit. They must now all be
dead. It is estimated that three hundred
and fifty human beings in all have lost
their lives by this catastrophe. The mine
is now on fire and thft (lames have burst
from the mouth of "the main shaft with
great violence. The work of drawing out
the bodies is suspended and the mine is
to be Hooded with water. The cause of
the explosion will probably remain a per
petual mystery.
A fearful explosion occurred at noon of
the same day, at Falkshill, Staflbrdshire,
in a coal pit belonging to the North Staf
fordshire Coal and Iron Company. Two
hundred men went into the niino that
morning, of whom only thirteen have
been taken out alive, and they are badly
injured. The rest, it is believed, are dead.
Up to the present moment forty dead bo
dies have been brought out of the pit. The
excitement is intense.

NOTICE.
The beautiful Piano Fortes of GKOVESTEEX 4 Co. are
deemed by all good judges to be the Ultima Thute of
instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu
sical instrument more pertect. 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, thov had submitted them to compe
tition with instruments of the best makers of tbis
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 triat the judgment thus pronounced
lias not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by them
to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in
strument lias been made. They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more
excellent. Surely, after this, they are entitled to the
motto "Excelsior." nuvH-ly

Great Britain. Fiance, and Germany, where medical
science has reached its highest perfection, it is pre

the most speedy and agreeable remedy that can he

where well known cases of diseased lungs, which had
baffled the efforts of the most skillful and experienc

results are the most convincing proofs .f the superi

them the authors point with peculiar satisfaction.
While it is most powerful against confirmed diseases,
it is extremely gentle as a medicine in infancy and
youth, being quite harmless to even the youngest,
when admiinsterd judiciously.
This health-restorer accomplishes oven more by
prevention than cure. If taken in season, it heals all

Joseph C. Haines—Dear Sir: After having fu 11 vtri

that your invention embrace's ah that is desirable ~,
a (iridic. Its simple construction, and adaptaimp. to
any common bridle and any rein, cannot but make
it* use universal. The ease "with which it can t.,.ad
justed to a soft or hard moi'thed horse i Hiiexn „ nt
foaiuro, rendering its use as effectual in preyeniinit
running or kicking as any other patent bridle . • ~..7,
and as easy on the in.iutb as the common bit,an , s
it i* always ready at tin- critical moment, it cannot but
recommend itself to all who will try or look at it
Respectfully yours, A. T* HAMILTON
I. WXSTOWX. Dec mber s tssg
I have been driving horses since I know arivtiiimr
about them, and liayc drove some very vicious horses
and colts In driving such with a common br'rile I
never fee! easy nor comfortable to enjoy the ride It
is more annoying, however, ben \ t ',u have n,. r . ( , n ,
with you and you can tell by their *<•< iintcnan,-.- t> v
they don't enjoy the ride from feat of van h,.rs
running a little, or even running away. 1 haveainiivß
thought there might la- a bridle or b'tt so rompcc'teJ
that you could drive and hold horses with perfect
ease and safety. The first of this kind 1 happens
to sec was Dr. Harttnan's. I thought it was v-rv go. ,
In the meantime it oocfirred to mc that the way tiU
lines worked on the bridle you could not draw tip. } •
and let it drop quick enough on your Imrses „
horses and colts when you surge them tightly .mi
cannot slack tne lines quicklv, will balk and "hack
very ugly. 1 once saw Mr. Ghosts and Stamen's
patent with the elastie strap, working 011 about the
same principle as Dr. Harm,an -. Mr Christ tl.rn
gave mc a bridle to try on my horse. I had the -am*
objection to it I had to Dr. 11, lonian's. My attention
was next called to Mr. Jos. C. Haines' Patent. of „ ur
town. ,VJy attention was arrested immediately wit 1 -
the appearance of ,t. I have l.een using it for ome
two weeks quite successfully. ! have drove along the
rai.road and other ugly places. feeling quite safe 1
think it embraces all you can get out of a bridle. If
tin" public once get to see this bridle, they can't help
but understand its simplicity, durability and effective
ness. and taken together, cannot help recommending
itself. Railroads are made and being made through
the country in every direction, crossing our public
roads four or five times m a* many miles sometimes
1 hese crossing* often occur at very Ht Iv place All
parties are tm.re or less afraid of meetiiig the trains
when they aie traveling for fear their horses will t ike
fright, and not be able to hold them. This communi
ty remembers how seriously Dr. Isaac Rotliru 'k nf
•Snyder county was hurt at the crossing, at the new
rnnry. last May. He found he could not hold in*
horse and then cot out of In- bug<rv. and the horse
tore linn around badly. It." M. iiEEVER

This community is well aware of tl.e fact that in
the midst of an extensive practice. Dr. G. W Hoover
was almost killed by the running off of Ins mare i
drove tins mare in single harness by u*.ng tl" Safety
Bridle invented by Joseph I'. Haines, a.dl found ihM
flSu .n a?" " ly e "n'rol. I believe the
.Safety Bridle is all that ,-an be desired for the seamy
ot life. limb, and vehicle when used either upona
dot tie or vicious horse. j] PKA-?
Any persons having fractious horses are invited
to bring them to the undersigned, or during hi' ab>
