FM' several years, as is well known, the

nor would the I)einocratic authorities of
Schuylkill county take the tirst step to-
Nvards the protection of life :mil property.
Juries were packed. and It reign of terror
prevailed in a number of the ininitto dis
tricts. Intring several sessions of the
Legislature, the most, powerful appeals
were made by the citizens of Schuylkill

most powerful ellbrt. and came to llareis-

the Govern4r or the State saw the neces

police bill was enacted into a Etw, since
which time all has been quiet iu the Schuyl

The Ilepublivans of Bethlehetn--who
pay two-thirds of all the taxes of said
borough--a few years ago, petitioned the
Legislature flu• the passage of an act cre
ating two wards, and insisted upon such
a line of divisilat as would give thew
mere representation in the borough coun

district fell back on the rule of the

the Republicans of the city of Reading--
the third city in the State—knowing that
on a full vote they could elect the Mayor and
a majority of the city councils nine times
out of ten, petitioned the Legislature for
an act chan . oing• the time of ludding their
city election, from February to the second
Tuesday in October of each year. But.

HON. 0. J. DICKEY IN WASHINGTON.
The Washington correspondence of the
Baltimore Stro, in a report of the meeting,
and adjournment of Congress on the 10111
instant. has the following notice of our new
ineniber of Congress. We have no doubt
that Col. Dickey will be an object of !great
attention, as the successor of the lamented
Old Commoner, and feel sure I..liat lie will
do no discredit t)) his illustrious prodeeess(
and friend:
" Among the gentlemen on the floor to-day
was Hon. Oliver J. Dickey, who
~at Once be
came an object of interest and curiosity by
reason of his being the successor el Thaddeus
Stevens. He does not resemble the old leader
of the House in any particular physically, nor
in many mentally, so much as in his bitter
and uncompromising radicalism. ln this re
spect Mr. Stevens's mantle has fallen upon
the proper object. lie is a native of Beaver
county, Pa., and a son of Hon. John Dickey,
who many years ago represented the Beaver
district in Congress. When young he removed
to Lancaster and entered 3lr. Stevens's office
as a law r.tudent. Alter his admission to the
bar he remained in the same office, and was
Mr. Stevens's trusted friend and business as
sociate until the old man's death. At the
Lancaster bar, which numbers among its
members some of t he best lawyers in the State,
be occupies a prominent place, and has proved
a safe legal adviser and au et;'ective advocate
before the court and jury. He was for many
years district attorney for the Lancaster dis
trict. As a speaker, be is entertaining, but
not eloquent, and gives force and character to
all lie utters. Ile is small in stature and in
physical frame, lint like his distinguished
predecessor, has great power of endurance.
Ile is probably forty yearsof age, with straight,
dark hair, tinged hero and there with gray,
has a prominent forehead and a keen eye.
But he is an untried mall in legislative halls,
and it remains to lie seen how he will deport
himself in his new position, for he will attract
more attention than is usually accorded to
new members, for the very reason that lie is
Thaddeus Stevens's successor."
nm. All 4. ATLEE, Esq.
The term of this gentleman, as District
Attorney of this county, expired on Mon
day last. Mr. Atlee has discharged the
responsible duties of the office withmarked
ability, and as he will now be actively en
gaged in his professional duties, we wish
him abundant success.
FRAUDS IN PHILADELPHIA.
The frauds of the Democrats in Phila
delphia, though not so great in the aggre
!rate as those of their brethren in New
York, were yet even more gross and pal
pable in many instances, than in that city.
To show that such was the ease. nothher

The late election shows that notwith
standing the Copperheads were aided by
the whole power of the Administration and
the votes of thousands of returned rebels
who were absent when the State voted for
Lincoln, there is a healthy growth of Re
publicanism in Maryland. This growth
is best shown by a comparison of the late
electing with that of 1567 fbr Governor:
Democratic

This shows that in one year the Demo

Republican vote has increased 8,5-10. It'

Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, Says that
so far as heard fnan, no Democrat is elect
ed to the lower House of the Kansas Leg
islature, and only one to the Senate, and
he by five majority, with the aid of a num
ber of fraudulent votes. The indications
are that Senator Ross, who voted tins John
son's acquittal, will be impeached, if the
Legislature has the power to do so. Mr.
Ross was not allowed to take any part in
the canvass, and the Republican speakers
everywhere denounced bins as a traitor,
&c. Served him right. Away with bins !
The New York Tribune says that the
cheapest articles in the political market to
day are the Washington politicians—and
the cheapest of the lot are the members of
the house of Blair. If Grant thinks they
are worth purchasing, there can be no ob
jection to his making the trade. We only
trust lie will take warning from Prei4dent
Johnson, and, instead of buying dearly,
take the gang at the lowest figure. This,
after due dickering, he will find to he ex
tremely small.
111 Ill7c4M11:11We With the resolution Of ad
journment, both Houses of Congress were
called to order at 110011 on Tuesday of last
week, by Vice President Wade and Speaker
Colfax. But few mend.wrs were present in
either, and both houses Were adjourned
slot die by their respective presiding °di
cers. The next session beginson Monday,
)eeember 7.
There are solid grounds for the charge
that of the 79 electoral votes received by
Gov. Seymour, those of New York and
New Jersey, numbering 40, were obtained
by fraud and forgery; those of Georgia
and Louisiana, amounting to 15, were se
cured by terrorism and violence; and those
of Maryland and Kentucky, numbering IS,
were got through the aid of ex-rebels.

General Grant says that he will tlivor a
ennstitniimial amendment making the
suffrage question to be rerulated throu!,ll

to carry such an 111111:111.111WIlt. It will he
accordin!.4ly set in motion as soon as (*on

because he gives no quarter to rebels and
their allies. It's a pity he is not now in
