The leading political event during the past week has been the doubtful exercise of power on the part of President John- j son in removing or suspending Mr. Stan ton as Secretary of War. It is daily be coming more evident that the reconstruc tion laws of Congress, which by the Con stitution are the supreme law of the land, will be evaded or nullified by every means that trickery or assumption of power can command. Whether influenced by evil councillors, political hatred of those who; elevated hhn to power and to whom he proved as false as he did to all his Union professions up to his election as Vice Pre sident, or ly that baneful habit which has been the curse of too many of our public men, his course is inviting a retributive; justice which will surely overtake him before long—for however loth Congress may have been to impeach this political hydra, forbearance has almost ceased to be a virtue. As History has recorded his entrance into high office in disgrace to himself and the nation, it may repeat it self in his disgraceful expulsion. The best commentary that can he offered of the worth and standing of Mr. Stanton, is furnished in the letter of Gen. Grant on his being directed to take charge of the War Department. He says: Headquarter* Armies of the U. States, Washington City, August 12, 1867.—Sir : Enclosed herewith 1 have to transmit to you a copy of a letter just received from the President of the United States, noti fying me of n>y assignment as Acting Secretory of War, and directing me to assume those duties at onee. In notify ing you of my acceptance, I cannot let t lie opportunity pass without expressing to you my appreciation of the zeal, patri otism, firmness and ability with which you have ever discharged the duty of Secretary of War. With great respeet, your oh't servant, U. S. GRANT, General. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War. Flowers of Democracy. The Selinsgrove Times of last week notices an attack on the Good Templars as follows: " HARD ON THEM. —The Columbia Herald is quite severe on the Good Tem plars of that place or any other pla*e where the humbug took root. It says: 'We shall op]>ose the political schemes of the Good Templars as firmly and as con scientiously as we would any other bandit organized for the purpose of destroying the proj>erty of their neighbors.'" The Columbia Herald is a full-blooded democratic sheet, and like others of that kidney would no doubt swear he is a bet ter temperance man than any Good Tem plar. The La Crosse Democrat, a democratic paper taken in many parts of this State by men lost to all sense of decency, lately made the following attack on the Method ist church : "It seems as if the Methodist church this year is but little better than a house of prostitution. Not a day but we see notices of these clerical indiscretions, principally among Methodists and Bap tists. Since ministers began preaching politics their churches are little else than hiding places for lecherous old deacons, treacherous sisters and smirking minis ters who, if hell l>e paved with skulls of infants, act as if they had large contracts for that kind of work! Brethren of the God-and-Morality party —Let us pray." We leave democrats who belong to the Methodist church make their own com ments on this wholesale aspersion. The Uniontowu Genius of Liberty, of which James F. Campbell, the founder of the Johnstown Democrat, is the pub lisher and editor, hist week contained the following editorial utterance: " The contributors to the Lincoln mon ument are demanding to know what has liecotne of their money. No matter what lists become of it. It cannot be put to a more dig/race fit/ purpose than building a monument to such a man as Lincoln, whosi life was a withering curse to his country The Harrisbjurg Telegraph lately had a sensible article on State Committees de voting more attention, to the country press. We have but little faith in the manner in which State Committees generally con duct their business. For gratuitous ad vice, addresses, &c. the country press is considered good enough, but .we never knew but one that seemed button whether any pay ever was given for ser vices rendered, and that one had for its chairman the best-abused man in the State. Four men were carried down the Falls of N'igara on Tu sday a week. Judge Thomas, of the Ninth Judicial ; District, Va., has been arrested, charged with violating the Civil Rights Bill, in ; refusing to admit negro testimony. John S. Pendleton, of Culpepper coun ty, Va., formerly a member of Congress, was arrested and taken to Richmond on I Wednesday night, on a charge of perjury in having himself registered. J. W. Pillbriok, supposed to be from Lowell, Mass., died in July, at Ellsworth, ; Kansas, leaving some property and a ; large amount of money, which awaits the i claim of his friends. According to old democratic logic, the "majority of the people" constituted de mocracy. Copperheadism is now engag ed in demonstrating tiiat the majority are tyrants. The Poor House Steward of Cambria county lias resigned. It the democracy up there is at a loss for a proper person to take his place, we can send half a dozen | candidates to pick from. The democratic papers, after asserting for years that Dunham, alias Conover, ! was a jierjured rascal, are now endeavor ing to show that because he is lying on their side he is an honest man. Some twelve citizens of St. Joseph, Mo., have been arrested for complicity in burn ing the Platte river bridge, on the Hanni bal and St. Joseph railroad, in 1861. Some forty more writs are in tlie hands of the sheriff*. The colored people of Delaware being denied participation in the benefits of the public school system of that State, four teen schools have been established through the aid of various associations, supported iu part by the contributions of the parents of the pupils. It seems that Dr. Cummings made a trifling error in his calculations concern ing the total destruction to take place in 1567. In revising his work he found that he had overlooked figures which add something like a quintillion of years to ; the race which this mundaue sphere has to run. The democratic papers all claim the re eent election in Kentucky as a democrat ic victory. Part of the ticket elected was conqxjsed of rebels, and the remainder ' were little better. Among the "demo crats" elected to the Legislature is Jesse D. Bright, who it will be remembered was expelled from the U. S. Senate iu 1861 for being in correspondence with Jef Davis. It is said that one of the causes of the late rupture between the President and Secretary of War, was the refusal of Mr. ! Stanton to assign to a militia company of ! Maryland, composed mainly of returned rebel officers and soldiers, a battery of light guns for which they had applied. The President is said to have directed him to furnish the battery, but that Mr. Htan ton declined. In running to catch a "fly ball" in a base ball game at Osage, in Mitchell co., lowa, a few days ago, two players came in contact with such force that one of them had a jaw broken and was knocked down insensible, and was "crazy for twen ty-four hours thereafter," while the other had his face bruised and the bones of his nose broken. The letter of Gen. Pope to Gen. Grant, describing the progress of reeonstrution iu Georgia, Alabama and Florida, says ' the party which is in accord with the northern democracy "are bitterly opposed ; to reconstruction under the acts of Con ' gross; opposed in fact to any reconstruc j- tioti whatever except such as would leave them in precisely the same political con dition as if there had been no rebellion and no war." The Johnstown Tribune, has been se lected one of the two newspapers in the State, in which the public Acts ami lteso ' lulions of Congress are to lie published. ' What political infamy did this editor commit to entitle him tothiscongression j al favor? Probably he is only a notorious . I liar!— Selinsgrove Times. ? | Tut, man, don't be jealous because a •' brother editor has secured a good job. Besides, if political infamy, or that other r tiling, is worth rewarding, you may some r day get the same take, in which case your own preaching would say "Thou art the ' man!" i Copperheadism is just now engaged in ■ ascribing every evil underthesuu toCon ■ gress. Thus not long ago the Southern people of the rebel States could not work because they had no representation iu Congress—next, although there was an immense erop to be harvested und a de mand for labor everywhere, the country was going to ruin—ami to cap the climax, an editor in an isolated town which gives a dancing picnic once or twice a week, iu complaining of dull times there, says it is all the fault of Congress! A few days since a girl about ten years of age, named Crusou, residing in Groes beckville, while out berrying, about ten miles from Albany, was attacked by u rac coon and pretty seriously injured. The 'girl was engaged picking berries under a tree, which the raccoon ascended. While thus engaged the animal descended the tree and made an attack upon her, seizing f her leg and biting from it a large piece of . flesh. Tlve Express says, after the coon had been beaten ott', and the party on . their way home, the animal followed jtlieni three miles, and then made for the . woods. i \ The Democrat seldom, if ever, makes t acknowledgement of wrongful charges. 1 j Thus, although we reproduced the ex , tract from the Indiana copperhead to ' | show that it carried with it its own mean ing, ami therefore could not be garbled, I that paper now avows its disability to say one thing or the other because it has not '• the whole article. So with Collector II Clarke: it says the law does not prohibit him from advertising in more than one paper. If the Democrat wit I refer to the s Internal Revenue Act, it will see that it r | mentions one newspaper, not one or more ' or at least one, and in such a ease the meaning Is plain enough. Ifin the larger 51 counties collectors advertise in more pa epers than one, they must have special ! authority for doing so, or else pay the ad ditional advertising out of their own ' |sM*kets, as some postmasters used to do i here for aiD'crtisiug lists ol letters.

Ticknor and I Fields—has excited an abundance of com-' ! petition. Several other cheap editions of the greatest living novelist, have been I commenced by New York and Philadel iphia houses. But the diamond edition i maintains its supremacy, both because it ! was the first in the lield, and because it best fulfils tiie purpose of a cheap, neat and readable reprint of Dickens' works, j The volumes are of such shape that they ican be put into the pocket, taken into the cars, or carried into the country. They j are of the right size to be perused on a summer day under a shady tree —to be read of an afternoon on the breezy porch of a country-house. The illustrations, . too, are fresh and striking. The type is small, but so wonderfully clear, and im pressed upon paper of so soft a tone, that he whose eyes are injured thereby, must ; be already far on the road to blindness. It is no slight satisfaction, moreover, to know that a ]>ortion of the proceeds of this edition goes to the author —giving the reader the comfortable feeling that while | he is enjoying the mazy plot and charin- I ing style, he is not at the time an aceom | plice in theft. "Dotnbey and Sou" is the ! sixth volume of this delightful edition, | and is every way equal to its predecessors. I —Hartford Courant. The cost of each volume of the beauti ful Illustrated Diamond Dickens is only $1.50; plain edition, 81.25. Everybody ] ought to read Dickens, and everybody | can afford to own this cheap and elegant 1 edition. It can be procured of any book seller, or will be sent postpaid by the Pub j lishers, Ticknor and Fields, Boston. An exchange details the following ter | rible result of the love for liquor: Charles H. Beeson, a prominent citizen iof Union town, Fayette county, who had I been wandering about in a.semi-oblivious condition from the free indulgence in liquor, got into the paper mill of ('. I*. | Markle i Co., at West Newton, in West moreland county, on the night of the sth inst., where be found a pitcher contain i ing a quantity of sulphuric acid, which he mistook for water, and drank freely of the contents. He died at ten o'clock the next morning, suffering the most excru ! ciating pain. Correspondence of the <6;uctte. A TRIP TO EUROPE. LETTER NO. IX. \Stvit zerla nd— Waterfalls —Mountain Scenes —Glaciers—The Jungfrau, etc. UKXKVA, July 10, 1867. We have spent alout a week in Switz erland, the only republic in Europe. It resembles America in its physical features |as well as in its form of government. Its ; noble mountains and lakes are the boast j and pride of its people, and so attached to their native land that, it is said, when ever any of them leave its borders they are subject to a particular species of de spondency or home-sickness, to which j medical writers have given the name of nostalgia. After spending a night at Lucerne, where we had a splendid view of the lake !of the same name, and were treated to some fine music by aSwiss band of thirty five performers, we took a carriage, and proceeded to Merringeu. Here we visited a tremendous fissure in the mountains, 1 through which flows a bold and rapid stream, and at night saw the Heichen bach Falls illuminated with Bengal lights of different hues. The next morning we pushed on to Brienz, and crossed Lake Brieriz to see the Falls of Giesbaeh, tlie most beautiful fall of water we have yet j seen. On the afternoon of the 11th we arrived at Interlaken, and from there proceeded | toSauterbrunn to view the Stau bbach Falls. This is a stream of water coining from the top of a high mountain, the rocky |sides of which rise perpendicularly for nine liundred feet. Against these rocks the stream falls, and is beaten into fine spray | resembling dust —hence the name, Btaub bacb, or "Dust-stream." Just beyond i the falls other smaller streams flow over the rocks, and farther on are the snow | peaks of the Jungfrau and Broadhorn ' mountains. As we passed along this route we were met at every turn by persons, principally I women and girls, having for sale the fine ; wood carvings for which the Swiss are so celebrated. We frequently saw women, also, manufacturing silk and linen lace ]of the most beautiful designs. At one | point, between two high ranges of moun tains, stood a man with an immense wood en horn, ten feet in length. He blew sev eral blasts upon it, which echoed and re echoed along the mountain sides until they died away on the highest (teaks like the faint notes of a piano. At another time we met a "Swiss boy," who hurl a small piece*of iron tube filled with jmw der. For a small consideration he touched , a match to it, when an explosion like a thousand pieces of cannon followed, caus ing us all to jump several feet into the air. The mountains on every side rever berated with the echo, reminding one of ' Byron's description of a thunderstorm in the Alps: "Far along. From peak to peak, the rattMng anions Leap* the Mve thunder!—not from one loue cloud. But every mountain now hath found a tongue; And Jura answers through her misty ahroud, i Hack to tiie Joyous Alp* who call to her aloud." We next visited Grindlewald, celebra ted for its two glaciers. These are great bodies of ice at the foot of the mountain, extending some distance up its side and some distance into the plain. We entered ! the lower one by means of a passage way hewn out of the solid ice. Being illumi nated with oil lamps, this passage looked like a cave of crystal. At some distance ahead we heard the sound of musie, and, j upon turning a curve, came upon a round room in which were seated two women {singing and playing on some kind ol stringed instruments. We did not re main long in this ice cavern, leaving as soon as our curiosity was satisfied. | We visited nearly all the above places from Interlaken, making the Hotel de Victoria our headquarters. This hotel is j kept in the best manner, and is the first house we have met with since leaving home that contained a bible in the bed rooms. From my window I had a grand view of the mountains, the highest peak of which was the Jungfrau. It is 13,671 feet above the sea level. We obtained a near view of this mountain monarch on one of our detours, and, while looking at the sublime sight, a large eagle hovered majestically over the summit. We reached Geneva two days ago, and are quartered in full view of the lake and mountains, with "Mount Blanc" in the dictanee. This is a clean, healthy look ing town, and, thus far, I am much pleased with it. I must defer further description, however, till I write again, i Yours, HANS. Special Notices. NO CURE-ALL.
