Lancaster, January 2uth, 1867.
The Mayoralty.
Candidates for the post of Chief Magistrate
of this City seen! to be multiplying, aod the
voters will, from present appearances, have
plenty of names before them from which to
make a selection.
First, we have the present honest and in
corruptible incumbent of the office. Mayor
Ziuherman, nominated by the Democratic
party for re-electiou. He has conducted
himself with great propriety during the twelve
months he has been in office, and we can see
no substantial reason why he should not be
retained for another term. The good people
of the city of Lancaster have, in Mayor Zim
merman, aD honest man and a trust worthy
Chief Magistrate. They might go farther and
fare worse.
Next, we have Henry M. White, nomina
ted by the Know-Nothing party. He is a
olever kind of a man, but, we opine, would be
totally out of* place at the,head of the City
Government.
Then we have ex-Sheriff Jacob Huber, who
offer himself as a volunteer candidate. Ue
also is a very clever man iu his own way, but
we do not suppose him to possess the necessa
ry qualifications for that particular office,
however pleasant and agreeable he is a neigh
bor and a gentleman.
And lastly, our excellent friend, Thomas
H, Buurowbb, Esq., has been induced, through
the solicitation of a number of citizens of all ;
parties, to offer himself as a candidate. ' Mr.
B. has the necessary intelligence and qualifi- •
cations to make a capital Mayor, and were ;
he the nominee of the Democratic party we ;
could support him with much pleasure. But
coming out as ho does in opposition to the ,
party to which lie professes to belong, he can :
have no claims upon the Democracy, and it is :
scarcely within the range of possibility that
he has any chance of an election.
We, therefore, calculate that ‘'old Whitey”
w;ill distance all competitors in tho race for
the Mayoralty—especially will this be the
case if our democratic friends all do their du
ty on Tuesday next, as we suppose they are
generally averse to introducing the Camefoni
an system into our Municipal election.
Ever since the caucus nomination for Mayor
was broken through some years ago, the finan
ces of the city had become more aod more in
volved, in consequence of the reckless and ex
travagant system of expenditures which ob
tained, until the induction of Mayor Zimmer
man. Since he has been in office, a better
state of things has been brought about—prop
er economy has been used—and a return to
the good old system of doing things now pre
vails. . If the tax payers wish these reforms
oarried out they will “ let well enough alone”
and re-elect the present officer, whose charac
ter for honesty and integrity is above suspic
ion, and whose sole aim has been to econo
mise and curtail the expenses of the corpora*
tion.
No State Treasurer Elected
Yesterday a week ago being the day fixed
by law for the election of State Treasurer, in
oonsequence of tlje absence of many of the
members of the Legislature, and their inabil
ity to reach' Harrisburg, the roads being
blockaded by the snow-storm, but few were
present, and no election was had. The act of ?
1848 provides: “The term of the State Treas
urer shall commence on the first Monday of
May next succeeding his election, and shall
continue for one year, or until his successor
shall be duly qualified.” And the act 0f'1839
(the first under the preseut Constitution) pro
vides: “In case no State Treasurer is elected
at the time fixed by law, the Treasurer for
the time being, shall hold the office until a
successor is appointed according to the pro
visons of this act; and the bond given by the
Treasurer and his securities shall be held valid
and binding - so long as he continues in office/’
Under these provisions of the law, we presume
the present incumbent, Col. Magraw, will
hold over a year, unless a special act or reso
lution is passed by the present Legislature,
fixing a day for holding the election. There
is another provision in the law to the effect
that when a vacancy in the office of State
Treasurer shall happen from the death of the
inoumbent, the Chief Clerk then in the office
shall become the acting Treasurer, and shall
continue to do the duties thereof (after giving
bond and the requisite security) until another
ie elected by the Legislature.
We are aware that tho sixth section of arti
cle sixth of the Constitution provides, that
“A State Treasurer shall be elected annually
by a joint vote of both branches of the Legis
lature”;—but, we apprehend, the Constitution
never contemplated an interregnum in the
office, and in the absence of any Constitutional
provision to meet a case similar to the present,
the Legislatures of 1839 ami 1848 wisely
•applied the omission. We incline to the
opinion, therefore, that if the present Legis
lature fails to elect a State Treasurer, Col.
Magrah- will continue to hold the office until
the Legislature of 1858 shall elect a successor.
I®- We direct attention, to the advertise
ment, in another column, for a partner in the
Milling and Distilling business. This fur
nishes a rare chance for a man with capital
to engage in a profitable business.
The late snow storm was very severe
in Baltimore. On a level the snow was aboat
two feet deep—but in some places the drifts
were from six to ten feet deep. The streets
for several days were impassable for vehioles.
The Btorm was still more severe north and
east iof this point. There has been nothing
equaling it in severity for many years.
A New Park in Philadelphia.— The Phil
adelphians talk of converting the Sedgely
park property, lying between the city property
at Lemon Hill, and the Spring Garden Water
Works, into a publio park. It embraces about
one hundred aores. Two gentlemen have
already given $lO,OOO each, and various
•urns, varying from $5,000 to $5OO, have been
pledged to the movement.
Itt» We invite attention to the advertise
ment of H. A. Sanders, Cincinnati, in'another
eoltunn.
The Record Corrected.
The Independent Whig of this City, the .
organ par pxopJlpnce of the Blaok Republican
party of Lancaster county, steps forward j
gallantly in defence of the three traitors to !
the Dem>>craric party who by their votes ;
secured the election of Gen. Cameron to the
tl. S. Senate —and attempts to justify their ■
course by publishing the letter of Mr. Buch
anan to the Democratic members of the ,
Legislature, n 1845. after Cameron’s former
election to the Senate by a similar treachery
on the part of a few recreant Democrats.' At
that time, it will be recollected that Hon.
George W. Woodward was the oaueu« nomi
nee of the Democratic party, but was defeated
precisely in the same.way that Col- John W.
Forney has \eeu. The Democratic members,
smarting under the deep wrong committed
against the customs and usages of the party,
united in a letter to Mr. Buchanan. denunei
/at»ry of Gen. Cameron, and asking him also to
denounce the act and the actors in the treach
ery. Mr. Buchanan had then become Secre
tary of State. He was a member of President
Polk’s Cabinet, and as such he considered
that it'would be improper for him (using his
uwii language) “to criticise or condemn the
Legislature of a sovereign State, for electing
whom they pleased to the Senate of the United
States. Jealousy of Federal interference and
Federal influence in State elections, ever has
been, and I trust ever may be, a prevailing
sentiment throughout the Democratic party; ,
and if, iu the new official position which I
now hold, I were to pass sentence against >
those Democratic members who voted for ;
another Democrat, instead of the caucus nom
inee, I might justly be asked, ‘who made me
a ruler or a judge’ iu this matter. They are
responsible to the sovereign people of their
respective districts and counties, and in the
bands of their constituents they shall be left,
so far as I am concerned. Besides, I might
add, that any interference on my part in this
delicate question, would inevitably tend
: further to distract and divide the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania, at a moment when I
am most anxious it should be united in sup
porting the National and State administra
tions.”
In the same letter, from which the above
extract is taken, Mr. Buchanan took strong ;
and decided groknd in favor of Legislative '
caucuses, and the binding effect they should
have on every member of the party. He said
that he “had uniformly expressed my [his]
sentiments jin favor of such caucuses; and had
even urged-many friends to exert their influ
ence with the Democratic members to induce
them to attend the late caucus,” at which
Judge Woodward was nominated. And j
further, that he was “firmly convinced that
this is the best mode which experience has
ever discovered of preventing individual ;
preferences for men from distracting and di- ,
viding the party, and thus endangering the
triumph of tho great principles of Democracy.”
Our readers will thus perceive, at a glance,
the difference between the election of Gen.
Cameron in 1845 and his election in 1857
i although brought about both times by the
; open and unblushing treachery of professing
; Democratic members. But 'there is another
i still more striking difference, which is this:
| In 1845 Gen. Cameron, although always fishy
and uncertain as a politician, was nevertheless
considered by many as a member of theDem
[ ocratic party. He had supported the elections
I of Governor Siiunk and President Polk in
; the previous contest, and was sustained by a
large body of friends who thought him sincere.
But the ease is different now. Whatever may
have been Gen. Cameron's political antece
dents, it is notorious that for the last three
years he has been known and recognized as
one of the principal leaders of the opposition
to the Democratic party. In 1854 he attached
himself to the Know-Nothings, opposed the
re-election of Governor Bigler, and was their
candidate for the U. S. Senate at the ensuing
session of the Legislature. In 1856, he became
a Black Republican and was one ot the elec
tors on the Fremont ticket—consequently he
was entirely out of the pale of the Democratic
i party, as he had been for more two years pre
viously, and no honest Democrat, with these
facts staring him in the face, co.uld any longer
support him.
The Independent Whig will therefore fail
in its efforts to prove that Gen. Cameron oc
cupies the same now that he did
twelve years ago. Then he waHa sort of a
Democrat, to say the least—noyv he is an open
and avowed member of Republican
Know-Nothing party, and was one of their
electoral candidates, at the recent Presidential
election. If he ever was a sincere Democrat,
which we very much doubt, he has, Judas
like, betrayed the confidence reposed in him,
and, like that arch-traitor, has forever
forfeited all place with his former associates
of the Democratic faith. He now be
longs to the same party with Penn, and
Stevens, and Wilmot, and Seward, and
Hale, and Burlingame, and the whole host
of Abolitionists and Disunionists of the North,
and any attempt tu justify the treachery of
those professing Democrats, Lebo, Manear and
Wagonseller, who voted for him two weeks
ago, is simply ridiculous and absurd. Wilmot
was also a Democrat in years gone by, but no
sane man will contend that he still adheres to
that faith—just so with Gen. Cameron. They
are now cheek by jowl as leaders in the Blaek
Republican Know-Nothing party, and there
we arc willing they shall remain for all time
to come.
The Bolter* from the Late Caucus
We observe in the Pittsburg Union, a de
fence, as they call a Protest, made by the
bolters themselves from the late Democratic
Senatorial Caucus, for their notorious viola
tion of the usages of the Democratic party.—
And what think you, gentle reader, is the
cause assigned for this gross dereliction of
duty? It is, that Mr. Buchanan, in answer
I to numerous letters from members of the
Legislature, expressed a preference for Col.
I Forney, though speaking in the kindest terms
|of all the other Democratic candidates! Had
; he not a right to do this? Was it not his duty
|to do it? Had not a President elected by the
: Democracy of Pennsylvania a right to express
his preference for the election of a confidential
; friend as Senator who possessed the necessary
J industry, energy and ability to defend the
measures of his administration on the floor of
: the Senate? Other Presidents have done the
■ same thing without objeotion. The eloquent
| and talented Buckaliw, and the patriotic and
I Bound-judging Robbins, real com
| petitors of Col. Forney, cheerfully admitted
| this and acted accordingly. Why did not
; Gen. Foster pursue the same course? Aye,
; there's the rub. He doubtless expected to be
| elected, not by the Democratic members with
• whom he had refused to go into caucus—this
■ being impossible—but by keeping in reserve
i his little corps of bolters and awaiting the
j fate of his personal friend Gen. Cameron. —
! Does any person believe, that if Gen. Foster
! could have foreseen Cameron’s election, he
; would have bolted the caucus? That he
| would not have done so, is evident from the
j fact that when this event had become certain,
j be attempted, in the face of the Convention,
! to change his position and vote for Col. Forney
| —Executive dictation to the contrary notwith
| standing! \
We could s&y muoE more on this subject;
but refrain for the present
Corrupt Legislation
It appears that in Illinois, the people suffer
from the rank corruption of their Legislators
as well as in Pennsylvania. The following ex
cellent article we copy from the Chicago Times
of the 17th inst., merely remarking that the
scathing rebuke administered would suit the
meridian of Harrisburg quite as well as that
of Washington and Springfield. In truth, the
capital of our own State, in consequence of
the gamblers, paid borers and'eorrupt scoun
drels who infest it every winter, has become
a synonime for all that is mean and infamous
in legislation and morality. The 7V/n«says:
“ It ha« become a matter of serious alarm
to witness the eagerness with which thread
bare )>■ Utician* seek official position and the
amour-* rJ money annually expended in the
disgraceful squabble for office, the legitimate
emolument** of which are comparatively noth
ing. The enquiry naturally arises, why is
this ? Let facts speak. Colt wants an exren
sion of his pistol patent, and 10, all Congress
is in arms. Collins requires a donation fur
his line of steamers, and the legislators of the
country are seized with a mania for Europe.
Railroad corporations obtain grants, and
gambling brokers and briefless attorneys be
come wealthy landed proprietors. Let us
come home. A mammoth corporation in our
own State asks a charter and grant of land ;
the paid representative of our people quits hi*
seat in Congress, and at the behest of the
gold God, squanders time and money in re
ducing to nearly one-half the amount the
company offered to pay the State for privileges
granted. When we see these things, and find
in our own county men of inferior capacity
elected to office by the votes of corporate bod
ies solely from the fact that they can “6e used,”
and then whitewashed by reporters as being
“too well known for ability and integrity to
require comment,” we unsophisticated out
siders naturally ask, why is this so ? Why is
it that obscure, briefless, third-rate attorneys,
upon being elected Senators or Representa
tives, suddenly become possessed of profound
legal capaeity, and are thenceforth chosen as
the feed counsellors of railroad corporations
and grow suddenly influential and rich.
Let the people look to it. We are being
bound hand and foot to the enemy. No man
can serve two rriusters, and the feed represen
tative of a railroad must be false to his con
stituents or his client in all cases where their
interests conflict. He has a double duty to
perform. As counsel he must act for his cli
ent —as a representative he should act for his
State. The one pays, the other dues nut, and
hence the liberal grants to chartered compa
nies, and the golden dreams of poor attorneys.
We think our Legislature, like Congress,
should appoint an “Investigating Committee,”
and report the names of the members who
are agents or attorneys for different corpora
tions, that the eyes of the people may be
upon them.

The Washington Union.
New Editor of the Washington Union.—
The ( rumor is current, although we think no
definite arrangement to that effect has been
consummated, that Hon. John Appleton, of
Maine, is to succeed Judge Nicholson as editor
of the Washington Union. We are quite cer
tain that we are not mistaken when we say
that Mr. Appleton's accession to the post
named will be received with satisfaction by
the entire Democratic party of the Union.—
He is a gentleman of fine talents, familiar
with public life—having been in Congress,
and served as secretary of legation at London
while Mr. Buchanan was minister —accus-
tomed to editoral service as the conductor of
the Eastern Argus, a paper of decided ability
and discretion, and, above all, as a qualifica
tion for the position which rumor assigns him,
possesses sagacity and prudence. He is well
understood to enjoy in a high degree the es
teem and confidence of the incoming President.
8®» We clip the above paragraph from
the Albany Argus t with the remark that the
rumor is well founded. The Washington
Union of the I7th inst., says:—“After the 4th
of Maroh the editor of this paper [Mr. Nichol
son] will retire, when the Hon. John Apple
ton will become sole editor-and proprietor.—
The arrangements which have resulted in- this
change have been consummated without the
slightest difficulty ; and we sincerely congrat
ulate our readers upon a result which secures
the services of a gentleman whose eminent
qualifications are so truthfully set forth in
the above remarks of the Albany Argus. We
may be excused for adding that our retirement
is voluntary, and in pursuance of a resolution
long since made.”
Union Express Company.— A bill has been
introduced'into the Legislature, by Mr. Mum
ma, of Dauphin county, to incorporate a com
pany to be called the Union Express Company.
It is designed, save the Harrisburg Herald , to
raise a rival to Adams’ celebrated Express
Company. The corporators, it is said, are all
men of enterprise and ipeans, and if this bill
passes, it will be a formidable rival to the
other company. is a matter of consid
able interest to the public who have for
years been severely bled by Adams' Express,
and we therefore hope the bill may become a
a law.
f®“The “Democratic Watchman, pub
lished at Bellefonte, Centre county, has
changed hands. Its late editor, Mr. Henry
Hays, took his farewell week before last, and
John T. Hoover, E*q., his successor, assumed
control. It has hoisted the name of William
F. Paoker, of Lycoming county, for Gover
nor.
The Traitor* Denounced.
An immense indignation meeting r f the
Democracy of York county, wni held in the
Borough of York, on Saturday evening the
17th inst., for the purpose of taking action on
the course of the traitor, Maxkar, who had
sold himself to Simon Cameron. The meeting
was presided over by John Finley, Esq., of
Lower Chaocefurd—assisted by fifteen Vice
Presidents and five Secretaries. Nearly e>.
township in the county was represented, ami
the meeting was addressed by M’.flhun [j
Welsh, Esq.
The following preamble and resolution*,
reported by a Committee, were tbeu read :
Whereas, the Democracy of York cuunty,
have -earned with amazemeut that Samuel
Manear. one of their representatives in the
Legislature <>i Pennsylvania, has betrayed the
confidence reposed in him by the citizen* of
•• Old Democratic York,” by voting for Simon
Cameron for United States Senator, in oppo
sition to the nominee <>f the democratic caucus,
therefore
Resolved, That the conduct nf Samuel Ma
nerfr, in voting for the blaok-republiean-kuow
nothing candidate for the Senate of the United
States, in open defiance of the wishes of the
entire Democratic party of this county, and in
direct violation ot bin often repeated pledges,,
is an act of Treason and Infamy that will sink;
him to the lowest depths of degradation, and
make his name despised and scorned by all
honorable and high minded men.
Resolved, That Lebo and Wagonseller of
Schuylkill county, the infamous associates of
Manear in his depravity and villaDy, are de
serving of nothing but scorn and contempt
and should be shunned and loathed by every
honest man as a destroying pestilence, which
carries terror and contagion on its poisonous
wings.
Resolved, -That as for such base traitors
there is no punishment provided by law, we
therefore, have expressed the deep and abid
ing execration of a deceived and betrayed
constituency, and will enrol their names with
those who in times gone by have been guilty
of similar treachery, at the head of which
stands the name of Judas in Silver, and at the
tail the name of Manear in Middletown paper.
Resolved, That we have no doubt that the
conduct of this infamous trio was the result of
bribery and corruption ; and in order that they
and their guilty coadjutors may be fully ex
posed as a warning to others in the future, as
well as for the honor and dignity of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, we earnestly beg
the House of Representatives to thoroughly
investigate the means by which this fraud and
treason were consummated.
Resolved, That Samuel Manear be request
ed to resign forthwith and permit the seat
which he now occupies to remain vacant, so
that the pulutiou of the traitor may no longer
be an eyesore to his honest and faithful col
leagues and a disgrace to the State Capitol.
Resolved, That the thanks of the democracy
of York county, are due and are hereby ten
dered to the Hon. Mr. Evans of Berks, and
the Honorable Messrs. Leisenring aud Mcll
vain of Philadelphia, Nunnemacher and
Hoffman of Monroe and Pike, and Pearson of
Northampton for the bold and high-toned let
ter to the traitor Menear, refusing to hold any
intercourse with him hereafter, or to lire un
der the game roof with him.
. Resolved, That the open boast of James M.
Anderson, of Carrol township, that he had
the entire control of Manear, and yet refused
to exercise his iufluence to save the party from
betrayal, although at Harrisburg, has forfeit
ed the confidence of the Democratic party.
Resolved, That the Democracy of York
county, now assembled in County Meeting,
hereby revoke the appointment of James M.
Anderson as Senatorial Delegate to the State
Convention, which assembles on the 2nd of
March next, and appoint Maj. Charles M.
Smyser,.of the Borough of York, in his stead.
Resolved, ijhat the course ol Senator Wm.
H. Welsh, and our Representatives, Col. James
Ramsey and Isaac Beck meets with the full
approbation of the Democracy of York county,
which' now in county meeting assembled, greet
them with, “ well dune good and faithful ser
vants !”
Resolved, That the editors of the Demo
cratic papers in York county, be requested to
place the names of the three traitors conspi
cuously at the head of their editorial columns,
properly designated, and keep them there
until the next October election, as a terror to
evil doers hereafter.
Resolved, That these proceedings be publish
ed in ail the Democratic papers of the State,
and a copy of the same, be sent to the Senators
and Representatives of the State Legislature,
and to the members of the Democraric State
Convention, which meets at Harrisburg on the
2e of March next.
ggy The reading, of the resolutions was
frequently interrupted by applause, and were
adopted without a dissenting voice and amid
great cheering.
After they had been presented to the meet
ing, Mr. Mulgrew and Maj. Charles M.
Smyaer made a few remarks, and the assem
blage adjourned to the Centre Square, where
Lebo, Wagonseller and Manear were burned
in effigy, in the presence of a large crowd of
our citizens.
A meeting of the Democracy of the
end of York county, was held in
Shrewsbury, (in . Makzar’s own neighbor*
hood,) on the evening of the 14th inst., when
the following resolutions were adopted by ac
clamation :
Whereas, we have learned with deep morti
fieation of the treason of Lkbo and Wagon
seller of Schuylkill, and Samuel Manear,
of our county, to the party that placed them
in power, in supporting Simon Cameron for
United States Senator agaiust the regular
Democratic candidate.
Resolved , That our immediate Representa
tive, Samuel Manear, .has forfeited all trust
reposed—that he has betrayed and sold a con
fiding constituency—that we execrate and
abhor him, his treachery, deceit and villainy.
Resolved, That .he be requested to resign
hip seat in the House, which he has disgraced,
so that it may be filled by an honest man—
one who cannot be bought.
Resolved , That the Legislature be requested
to take the proper means to investigate the
late election of U. S. Senator, truly believing
that nothing but money induced the miserable
wretches, Lebo, Wagonseller and Manear, to
betray their party.
Resolved , That the THE THREE TRAI
TORS be burned in effigy on to-morrow
evening, the 15th inst., in the borough of
Shrewsbury.
An Important Suggestion.
The State Treasurer, in his report to the
Legislature, recommends the repeal of the
law which allows an abatement of five per
cent, for the prompt payment of taxes. The
reason urged by Col. Magjaw against its
continuance, is that it produces a large sur
plus in the Treasury, not required by actual
necessity, and at a cost to the State of the five
per cent, abatement. The Pittsburg Post says:
“But there is another reason why this law
should be removed, of almost equal force, and t
that is, that a very small proportion of this ;
abatement mures to the benefit of the actual
tax-payer. Its practical operation is to put
money into the pockets of the County Treas
urers, who, in many counties, are in the habit
of paying their whole quota of State tax, in
time to claim the abatement, when but a
small proportion has actually been paid in.—
This they do by raising money on the credit
of the county, or their own personal credit—
which is nearly the same thing, as it is af
fected by their position—paying the whole
tax, and pocketing the five per cent, realized.
In this way, the abatement allowed is made to
work to the almost exclusive benefit of County
Treasurers. It is of no advantage to the
treasury, the necessity that called it in being,
having passed, and it is of very little practical
benefit to the people, and it offers opportuni
ties to the State and County Treasurers to
speculate in the public funds. The sugges
tion of the Treasurer is worthy of serious
consideration.”
The State Legislature.
But little of consequence was transacted
in either branch of the Legislature during
the past week, in oonsequence of the'snow
storm —so many members being detained at
home (whither they had gone the Saturday
previous) on account of the impassable condi
tion of the roads. The principal business at
tended to was the presentation of petitions
and offering of resolutions on rations subjects
of no general interest.

Quarter Sessions’ Court.— The January
term of the Quarter Sessions’ Court commenced on yester
day week, but owing to the absence of the Jurors—on ac
count of the snow-storm —no business of any consequence
was transacted before Thursday. There will be an ad
journed Court, to take up the untried eases, on the second’
Monday In March. The following is a short synopsis nf
the most important trials:

Badly Frozen. .Mr. Greeno, the Constable
of Mount Joy township, loft bis residence in irpringville,
thirteen miles from this city, on Suuday night week, about
12 o’clock, on foot, so as to be in Court here on Mnuday
moruiag to make his return. He reached Sprecbor’s Hotel,
in this city, about 5 o’clock, in tho morning, badly frozen,
having come'the whole distance without stopping—there
being no place open along the road where ho could hare
warmed himself. Dr. Muhlenberg was called in. and
reports, we learn, that Mr. Greene will lose parts of both
feet—they being so badly frozen that circulation cannot be
revived.
Intense Cold! —At sunrise, on Friday
morning last, tho mercury in the tliermometor had fallen
to 12 degrees below zero, iu this City. Ugh 1 but It was a
pinching time. On Sunday week, at Albany, the thur.
mometor indicated 20 degrees below zero; at Montreal,22;
at Quebec, 30 ; at Woodstock. Vt., 30 ; at Ogdensburgb, 36;
and at Watertown, 40 degrees below terol This was em
phatically the CbW sunffay in this vicinity, and, Judging
from the state of the tbermometor iu the above-mentioned
places, it must-have been still more severe oorth and east
of us.
The Lecture this Evening.— Rev. Wm. 11.
Uillduun, the celebrated Blind Preacher, will deliver a
lecture in the First M. E. Church, North Duke street, this
evening—aee advertisement. This gentleman Uone of the
most gifted and eloquent Pulpit orators of the day. and
bis lecture will doubtless be exceedingly luteresting. We
hope to see the Church crowded.
Passage of the Municipal Bill. — The
bill relative to opening streets, to restrict the erection of
wooden buildiugs, and to facilitate the collection of tAxes
In the City of Lancaster, by the appoiutment of a Receiver,
has passed both branches of the Legislature, and only
awaits the Executive signature, which it doubtless will
receive, to become a law.
February Court.— A Court of Common
Ploae will be held next week, commencing on Monday,
February 2d. The followiug persons have been summoned
as Jurors:
Isaac Bradley, Fulton; Henry Bowman, jr., Providence;

Change of P. M.—The Postmaster General
has appointed Henry Stauffer, Esq., P. M. at Adamstown.
In this county, vice M. L. Weidner, removed.
Unjust Complaint.— One of the silliest
things we hare seen in a long time, was the attempt of the
passengers detained at this point to thro.w the blame upon
the Superintendent and other officials on the Railroad.—
The condemnatory resolutions and petition to the Legiela
ture are simply ridiculous and absurd. As well might
they attempt to arraign Providence for sending the terrible
snow storm. It would be about as sensible as what they
have done; for, we venture‘to say, that Col. Bases did
every thing that mortal man could do—laboring night
and day himself—to get the road clear of the immense'
drifts ef snow which covered it in many places from ton
to fifteen feet deep. The same may be said of the Deputy
Superintendent, Mr. Darlingtoi, who is one of the most
energetic and industrious Assistants that ever was upon
the road. The Supervisors of sections, too, have all beeu
prompt aad'did everything in their power to remove tbf*
obstructions. Wo know the fact that the Supervisor of the
section running from three miles below to one mile and a
half above the City, Mr. Uknry Schaum, put an immense
force at work and had his section cleared in a comparatively
short time—but the high wind on Wednesday and Thurs
day again drifted the snow upon the track, and required
mack of the labor to bo done over again. This, we under
itaud, was the case all along the line from Columbia to
Philadelphia.
Why should complaints he preferred against the official*
on the Columbia and Philadelphia road, when It is no
torious that all the ot h*T rail road* north and east of us are
also blocked up—and even south, betweea York and Baltl
more, and between Baltimore and Washington City, they
are still in the samepredivament, or were daring nearly the
whole of the past week! Why don’t these grumbler#
arraign the management of all those roads, too?
Th* Difference.— At the Know-Nothing
meeting on Saturday evening, to nominate candidates for
Mayor and High Constable, there were but 283 votes polled
in all—whereas at the Democratic meetings for the same
purpose, held on the same evening, there were 713 votes
polled! “Straws show which way the wind blows."
Railroad Accident.— The cars on the
Harrisburg and Lancaster Railroad run over an embank
ment, on Saturday last, near Middletown, by which several
persons were seriously injured—amongst otherH, Mr. John
C. Zell, of this city, and Col. James Cameron, of Union
county.
K. N. Nominees.—Mr. Henry M. White,
of the N. W. Ward, was nominated as the K. N. candidate
for Mayor, at the meeting, at the National House, on Sat
urday evening. Mr. Jobit Maativ was selected as the
candidate for High Constable.
Communication.
To my Democratic friends, who gave me
their support, for the nomination for Mayor, I return my
sincere thanks; and now ask, as an additional favor, their
hearty co-operation with me to elect the full Democratic

The wpa'hcr of the w«>k just closed baa been intensely
eotd. and Saturday and Saturday night wm decidedly the
• coldest of the season.” A slight sprinkling of snow fell
on Saturday morning, and Jhe ground is now covered with
its white carpet. The river continues open at this point,
but might as well be closed, as all the upper streams are
frozen over, and the water below so soant and the floating
ice so thick and heavy, that It would be dangerous to ven
ture oat upon a voyage. The Alton packets have made
several trips in the past week, but the recent cold snap
has put a stop to them. Wo have had no steamboat srri.
vals for some time. There are ten or fifteen boats at Cairo
waiting an opportunity to reach the city. Business, in
consequence of the suspension of navigation, is extremely
dull. It would seem that our railroads are quite as bid, If
not worse, than river navigation. Our cltiseua complain
greatly about the delay of freight sent bv them. We had
some freight shipped at Boston on the 2d of December, and
the goods have not arrived yet; had we have ordered them
shipped via New Orleans they would have been at band.—.
We were In hopes that when the railroads were finished
freight could be brought to this elty at all seasons of the
rear with dispatch, hut It seems to be worse than when
we had no sueb roads. We certainly have not been bono
fited by tbe construction of such rai/road*—we would much
rather rely upon the speed of •'Davy Leech's" canal
boats I Let it therefore be remembered that goods sent
via New. Orleans to tbe West, in the winter season, will
reach their destination about as quick, if not sooner, than
by railroad.
Our Legislature ban passed a bill for a better system ef

Another murder hae been committed. Tbs quiet town

morning by the cry of “murder.” It appears that tbr*e

knocked the brains out of Wheatland—Alexander endeav*

a serioas injury, which may prove fatal.as his skull is
fractured. The cause for this onslaught is unknown. —
Wheatland was killed in his bed. La Polnte was arrested,
committed for trial, and is now in our county jail.

It would seem that no Senator from Indiana can be
elected at this session of the Legislature. l,ast wintor the
Democrats had a majority in tbe Senate, and refused to go

election.
In our mentiou last we--k of the arrival of I>r. Cha*.
Laib and F. D. Preston, Ksqrs.. of the Illinois Legislature,
we .neglected to add that the lion. C'has. 11. Constable and
Col. Dennis of the same State accompanied them. We will
also remark that Mr. Constable beaded the Illinois Demo,
eratic Electoral ticket. He is an "old Hue Whig.” bnt like
neauy other Ualou-loving and conservative patriots, forgot
past political differences, fell into the ranks of Democracy,
and fought with all his energy and power tbe good fight
for the Union and the Constitution against Sectionalism
and fanaticism. Ho wa* not oue of the old Whig party
who forgot their country and its welfare in tbe wild hoop
f.ir spoils and power, by lending their voice and vote to
the opponents of Democracy: but seeing the danger to
which his country was threatened, took the stump in de
fence of Mr. Buchanan and the glorious cause in which
we were engaged, and contluued unceasingly—night and
day—in the advocacy of the Cincinnati nominees. The
accession of Mr. Coustable to our ranks, was an army of
of itself, for he was heretofore one of the most prominent
of the Whig party, and his valuable aid and influence ma
terially assisted tbe gallant Democracy of Illinois. In giv
ing tbe State to our National standard bearers. Mr. C. is
a aid to be a bold and fearless speaker, and pronounced b
those who know, one ef the most dignified and eloquent
orators of Illinois. Wo are pleased to record suoh names
as Cbas. 11. Constable on our demoeratlc roll. The Democ
racy of Illinois owe much to Mr. C., and w# trust that his
valuable services Id times like those we have just passed
through, will be, at an parly day. kindly acknowledged.—
We bad the honor of his acquaintance, and were much
pleased with his manners; and admire him more for the
tbe able and eloquent speeches he made daring the recent
canvass in favor of “ Back and Breek."
F. D. Preston, Ksq., member of the Legislature, an an.
flinching and uncompromising Democrat of long standing,
did his part In Illinois, and the vote of “ Egypt"—(South
ern Illinois; —bears us out in the asssertion. Mr. P. hails
from that “beuighted” section. We take pleasure in fa
vorably mentioning the names of such men as are above
recorded.
We read with surprise and deep regret the dispatch an.
nounolng the election of Simon Cameron to the U. S. Sen.
ate from your State, over Col. John W. Forney. The
friends of Col. F. in this totality were not prepared for such
a result; it was expected, after all that Col. Forney did to
wards the eleetion of Mr. Buchaaan and the triumph of
Democracy, that the Democratic Legislature of Pennsylva
nia wonld acknowledge his valuable aid by electing him to
the United States Senate, when in their power eo to do;
bat In this we have been mistaken, and we have likewise
been deceived in the character ef some of yeur Democratic
legislators. Let their names be heralded far and wide, and
held up to public gaze as doserters io the flush of battle
Let their constituents know them in the future. We bad
hoped to fill the measure of rejoicing with the election of
Col. Forney to the Senate, but his unexpected defeat great,
ly mars the glorious triumph we were wont to celebrate.—
A proud and brilliant future yet awaits the Colonel.
On Monday last the Hon. James S. Green was elected to
the U. B. Senate, by our Legislature; and on Tuesday
Tmsten Polk, our newly inaugurated Governor was also
elected to a seat lathe Senate of the United States. Mr.
Green was formerly a Democratic Congressman, and was
re-elected last August. His election leaves 'a vacancy in
our next Congressional delegation. Mr. Polk has been a
week or. two in the Gubernatorial Chair, but he has be
come so very popular with all parties, that the Democracy
•aw fit to have him in the Senate to represent them, they
therefore gavo him the very flattering vote of 101 out of
171 cast; there belag'.but one ballot for each Senator—Col.
Beaton obtained against Green 14 votes; Kennett had 32,
Green receiving 80—81 necessary to a choice. Benton
against Polk 23 votes; Gamble 84; Scattering 8. The
election of Messrs. Green and] Polk seem to elicit general
satisfaction among nearly ail parties. The friends of Col.
Benton gave up his chances long since. It may now safely
be said that “old Bullion" will never get into the Senate.
He can now well see the cause of his defeat. Bat notwith
standing the adverse eirtumstauees tba t have for several
years past surrounded him—he is this day as much ad
mired and respected by both friend and political foe, as iu
his palmiest days.
The new administration will find in Messrs. Green and
Polk firm and steadfast supporters—both National Demo
crats and conservative men.
The discussion relative to the Lieuteuant Governorship
was finally decided in favor of Jackson, Dem.. over New
land, K. N., and Jaeksou ha* taken hi* lent a* Ltent. Gov
ernor of Missouri.
Notwithstanding all that has beau said relative to Col-
Bissell and the oath he had to take, he was duly inaugura
ted on Monday lest—he being too ill to go to the Hall, the
oath was administered at the Gov-jraor’" man-don in the
presence of both branches of the legislature. He was asked
whether he had ever sent or accepted a challenge to fight
a duel, and answered. N'U’ Whau Col. Bissell answered
that question he, uo doubt, meant that he did not do so in
that State, for no one of bis acquaintances will deny but
that he did at one time challenge a gentleman. The oath,
therefore, which Col. Bisseß ha* just taken, rests with him
and hi* God.
On Saturday quite au alarm and excitement prevailed In
our el'y, among business men and in business circles, on
the receipt of a dispatch from Cbl-ago, stating that the
Banks there had thrown out some half dozen of the Illi
nois State Banks’ notes. Those who had any of this money
immediately repaired to their places of deposit to get rid
of it. The Brokers all received it on Saturday evening, and
the probability is they will continue to do so. It seem#
that some misunderstanding has occurred 'between these
State Banks and the Bankers of Chicago—hence their re
fusal to receive them. We think the banks thrown out
about aa good as those received —neither better than they
should be.
What’s in a Name.— A Mr. Doolittle, ha«
been elected to the C. S. Senate, bj the Legis
lature of Wisconsin. Of course he is a Black
Republican.
Snow in lowa and Nebraska.— We learn
from the Councill Bluffs papers that the snow
has fallen to a greater depth, this winter, in
Western lowa and Nebraska than ever before
known, even to the “oldest Inhabitant."
'Within the la*t two or three weeks nine U.
S. Senators have been chosen—of whom four
are Democrats and five Black Kepnblicans.—
Nine more are yet to be chosen before the
end of the present Congress. When all the
vacancies are filled, the probable complexion
of the Senate will be as follows: Democrats,
37 ; Republicans, 20 ; Know-Mothings, 5.

its wonderful effects. It is no longer problematic, hut a
self-evident truth, as hundreds oau testify.
Mr. 11. I)ym—Dear Sir: I have used two bottles of Prof.
Wood's Hair Restorative, aud cau truly say it Is the great
est discovery of the age for restoring aud (hanging the Hair.
Before using it 1 was a man of seventy. My hair has now
attained it-u original color. You cau recommend it to the
world without the least fear, as my case wai ouo of the
worst kind. Yours, respectfully.
J have used Pud. 0. J. Wood's Ilftir Restorative, aud have
admired its woudertul effect. My hair was becoming, as I
thought, prematurely gray, hut hy the use of his Reator.v
tive it has resumed tts original color, nnd I have no doubt,
permanently ho SIDNEY BIIEKSK.
The Greatest Discovery of tho Age.— It seldom occurs,
that we notice, under any circumstances, patent medicines,
resturativet, or anything of the kind, for we Uavo a preju
dice against mat of them. But candor compels us to In
vite attention to the advertiseinout of Prof. Wood’s Ualr
Restorative. We are too juvenile to reuulro anything of
the kind, hut Rome instances of its use have come to our
knowledge which almost assure us that It is a sovereign
remedy against 'he hair becoming prematurely gray. It Is
not a “ Hair Dye;” hut upon its application os directed, the
effect 1h produced on tho skin, which brings out the origin
nal native colored hair, without stiffness, and gives it a glos
syand natural nppearanco. Wo haYeseeii persons who have
used it, and they arc much ploased with It. —Hittmiri Rt
