Governor Geary's Hai:mural.
FELLOW-errizrss :—Having been bon
ored, a second time, by the voluntary suf
frages of my countrymen as their choice
for Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth
. of Pennsylvania, I have in the presence of
God and this assembled multitude, renew
the solemn and binding obligation re
quired of me by law, to support the State
and National Constitutions, and to perform
with fidelity the duties devolving upon me
as Governor. It shall be my constant aim
and most earnest effort to observe the very
letter as well as there'll spirit, meaning and
intent of the obligation I have just taken.
Deeply impressed with the most profound
gratitude, I (an but express my most hearty
thanks to the good citizens of this Common
wealth for the generous confidence and
partiality they have reposed in me by re
election to the most honorable and respon
sible position in their gift. But knowing
well their exactions and requirements of
one who occupies a position so exalted, it
is with extreme diffidence I again under
take responsibilities of such , vast impor
tance, which even the boldest and most
gifted might hesitate to assume. Anti how
ever determined may be my endeavors to
realize the expectations of lily friends in
support of the right, and to battle against
whatever, in my judgment, may be wrong,
still I am conscious of the necessity for
some sustaining power, and, therefore, I
unhesitatingly acknowledge my depen
dence upon the enlightened support and
patriotism of my fellow-citizens, and my
lien! reliance upon the unerring wisdom
and never failing aid of Ilium u ho controls
alike the destfilies of individuals and of na
tions.
The settlement of 11111 vexed que't"s
growing out of the armed contliet with
treason, devolves a mighty responsibility
on the loyal men of the land. A roust re
bellion was signally crushed by the force
armod loyalty, and the gevernment
has triumphantly established its ability
successfully to suppress domestic insurrec
tion, however gigantic. The war itself has
served to stimulate our people to fresh
energies, and to the development of new
enterprises. our manufactories have !nut
tiplied, plenty has smiled upon stir fields,
and blessed die labors of the husbandman.
Peaeo has ',souls] our people to their
homes, and cheered o ur firesides. The

part or free Ira Iris for the aleilislinient ..f
the natural and wholesome proteetiou now
afforded to our leine industry and to labor,
I consider it a subject which claims a
01011 r tilllti and iltltilltioll. If our na
tional industry iinil natural prductions,
represented by thousand: of faetories,
all other ,:onree, of labor, are t:: be
preserved, there should hs no rednetiim of
ditties which shall enable the underpaid and
overworked population of the World to
flood our State with the prodgrt if
their mines and w•irkshops at the idist of
our tlestruetion. The articles tint: admit
ted would undersell the pi...illets or 0111 .
:irtizans at our very doors, and our factories
would be oh 001, :0 heretofore, by
causes. This Will Ihrow nut if employ
ment thousands of industrious 111011, and
entail ruin upon them and their families,
merely for the benefit and aggrandizement
of foreign mantiliiet tilers and eapitalists.
As 50011 a: our indusininl arms are paral
yzed and oimpe:ition isties• roved, the mon
opolist can command his 415011 prick., and it
is thus vicar that the policy :If Iris—trade
calm never permanently benelit any country that will sanetion its aiioption. • Impelled
by every feeling of inlereit, humanity and
justive for our artizaus and laborers,
Hllollld unhesitatingly set our faces against
this heresy. IV:' should, therefore, not
on ly earnestly legislate for the benefit of
capital, but Ihr the toiling sons and daugh
ters of our country. It should be our
eotodant etiort to improve their soeiai eon
dition, to ad ranee their intellectual status,
and above all to shield them from the des
titution which is threatened by the enemies
of protection to 011 r industrial pursuits.
In my sevcral messages to the Legisla
ture I • have taken occasion to refer to a
subject which I regard as of paramount
importance to the prosperity and even the
stability of our government. No nation
inn long exist that attempts to violate any
of its obligations. The ilmst prominent
among these is the faithful payment of all
its indebtedness. Ni. good reason can be
given for the repudiation of 11 single far
thing,. I said iu Illy message :if January,
15110, "'rho people of Pennsylvania, ever
true to the Union, and unswerving ill their
determination to priiiiierVil its h4luor integ
rity and perpetuity, are proud and free to
assert the sacredness of the national debt,
and that its ultimate payment in full must
be secured." 10 .11y message of 'slit:, I
called attention to the same subject, ill these
words: "'rite voice of l'ennsylvania, as
well as that of a majority of the States, has
at the ballot-box proclaimed to the
world, that all our national indebted
ness,. no matter how heavy the burden,
will be paid according to the letter
and spirit of the agreements made and en
tered into at the [into the dell was eontraet -
ed ; and that in this, as in :Mother respects,
our individual and national honor must
and shall be preserved." These sentiments,
so clearly expressed, I have token frequent
occasion to reiterate, and it affords mo
great satisfaction to observe that manv who
have heretofore been hostile to, or siliint alt
this most important subject, are becom
ing warm in their advocacy - of the princi
ples here enunciated.
Those who saved this government front
the destruction designed by treason, are
they who will perpetuate it as a blessing
for future generations. All that is asked of
the people to to strengthen and uphold the
hands of the men who have been called to
do the work of reconstruction, and when
that work is finished in the spirit in which
it has beet begun by the present National
Administration, we will havi3 a govern
ment and a country mighty in their munifi
cence, glorious in their prosperity.
The preservation of the peace and quiet
of our country, maintaining unsullied our
national honor, and the harmony of the
Union are among our highest duties. Let
us encourage every branch of home indus
try, advance the true interests of moral,
physical and intellectual labor, and reach
ing forward to the prize of the manifest des
tiny of ou r glorious Comm onwealthove may
hopo for her increasing prosperity, and,
above all, for the smiles of an approving
Providence.
I earnestly invoke a continuance of the
blessings and favors which we, as a people,
have long enjoyed, that Pennsylvania may
be ever ready to extend her sympathies to
those struggling for liberty, to succor the
helpless exile, and be an asylum to the per
secuted and oppressed '• and thus forever
identify herself with the cause of
equal rights and with the interests of uni
versal freedom, justice and humanity.—
Then can we with truth and pride proclaim,
" - Long live the Commonwealth," whose
guiding, principles are found in the motto of
our State. "\ usatrE, LIBERTY AND INDE
PENDENCE."

The Clerical Elopement--
01 the Case
The sad ea., of church scandal, which
was recorded in our volumns yesterday, has
developett IIeW It a •ls, which materially :titer
the aspect of affairs. Several reports which
appeared in the journals yesterday are en
tirely lucorreet, a n d incontestable evidence
of their falsity is at hand. I)ur reporter
called yestordav" on :%Irs. Cook, and found
her stricken sorely with the painful calam
ity which had befallen her. Friends have
allonled sympathy, and reporters furnish
-14 tinnovunee , although none of the latter,
except the representative of Thr Tribune,
were granted an interview. lir. Stevens,
lie. Woodruff, and others of the clergy,
ealled on her, and they said it was their
opinion that Mr. Cook was inSallo.
The insinuations which have lanai made
impeaching her husband's hitherto correct
lire were steadiastly refuted. Ills former
parishoners ill Mamaroneck amply testify
to his preeminent propriety during his pas
torate there. I I is companion du rayatp• On
his recent trip to Europe witnesses to the
'lean record of his life while :throat!. And
no One inn point to a blemish in his life
mail unaecountable dereliction. That
he was not the heartless seducer which he
is made to appeal is also shown in the let
ters which Miss Johnson wrote to him, and
which were in the possession of Mrs. Cook
until the other evening, and which .11 r.
Johnson now holds. In these letters the
young lady expresses her longingeagerness
for the day on which she will become IS,
and boasts that when she arrives at woman
hood she will hazard her life and every
thing for the man she loves. The letters
arc full of a fervid feeling and affection.
She says in one of them that she larks only
a little of being 18 years of age, and until
that time sbe !oust pay parental allegiance,
but-after that she could do as she pleased.
Miss Devoe, it seems, has been privy to
this improper intimacy, and is nose the
custodian of letters which were written by
Cook to Miss Johnson. The letters are all
without signatures and dates, and are only
identified by the penmanship. It teas Miss
Devoe who first communicated Miss John
son's flight to her family. on Friday
afternoon, at about .11 o'clock, she went to
Miss Johnson's home, and told the family
that Manic had left with Mr. Cook. That
Miss Johnson not merely passive in the
hands of her elergyman, but that, on the
contrary, she did her part to allure and en
tice, is convincingly proven. One time she
addressed a note to her pastor expressin
her disappointment at his failure to fulfill
an engagement which he had made with
her, and said that ifhe would send his son
Baldwin to play chess with her she would
be satisfied,
Mr. Cook told his wife that he was about
to elope with a Young lady, and that when
they had made 'their escape she would be
surprised at the choice he had made. lie
left with but $2OO and left his family with
out a cent. The strange willingness he
showed to have his wife know all that was
connected with the matter, and the reckless
improvidence in which he left the disre
gard which he exhibited for n wife and
family which he has always cherished, is
evidence of a mental aberration. When
last seen he was at the Jersey City Ferry
at 5:20 p. Friday, He was seen by - a
man who knows him by eight only, and
who remembers the hour distinctly, as he

the track of the paity, and the brothers
have constituted themselves the avengers
oftheir betrayed sister. Mrs. Cook thinks
that, because of his slenderly stocked wal
let, he could not have gone to Europe. But
his whereabouts is merely a matter of con
jecture. The above facts are the reproduc
tion of the contents of letters which passed
between the parties and are not the words
of gossip.—N. Y. Tribune.
Sharp Letter of Ex-Seeretary Welles to
Secretary Robeson.
The Hon. Gideon Welles, late Secretary
of the Navy, published a long letter in the
Courant yesterday, addressed to Secretary
Robeson, severely criticising the report of
the letter. He replies at length to the para
graph in the report relating to the advance
ment of officers, and says he acted entirely
on his own responsibility. " Whatever
errors,
therefore, were committed, I am re
sponsible for, and not Admiral Farragut."
After quoting somewhat in detail from his
own reports to Congress, justifying his own
conduct in the matter of an economical ad
ministration of the department, Mr. Welles
says:
. .
You make no allusion to my several
recommendations to Congress, but state
that you have proceeded to restore our
small force to an effective condition "in the
shortest possible time ;" and in an appen
dix you enumerate eighty-six vessels re
paired and refitted for sm. A large num
ber of the vessels thus enumerated von take
credit for having refitted are new and have
never made a cruise. Your justifimtion
and great claim for these expenditures,
made independently of Congress,. consists
in the vast saving of "fuel." "Vessels,"
you say, 'have been given full sail power
and re-rigged, so that they are independent
of steam. Orders have been issued to the
coin mandants of so uadrons, directing them
not to permit the consumption of coal for
any purpose which could be as well per
formed by sail." This is a mere repetition
of the old regulation issued in Istirc, directly
after the close of the war and rigidly en
forced, to which, Ii ivever, you make no
allusion, leaving it to Ice inferred that it is
a now regulation nuns for the first time
issued.
Alluding to the claim of the present Sec
retary that a saving of more than two mil
lions of dollars per annum is to be roadein
the, item of void :done, Mr. ACelles remarks:
In order to ascertain how this inamense
and promised saying ill fuel is to be effect
ed, it will be necessary to knole hose notell
coal is consumed per annum, and at teltat
cost. I have no .tecoullt of the amount of
~ , ,a1 actually 01111S111111`11 in any one year,
although - I knot,' about the quantity re
quired hir the navy, and can state the exact
estimates for which appropriations Intve
been asked since the return of peace. In
lily report, December, 1,4(17, the estimates
llo• 14,1 tbr the then ensuing Year were for
thirty-two thous:uel tons. 'Tile following
year, Deeeni her, bolts, the estimates for the
next ensuing year were thirty thousand
toils. A consumption of about thou
sand tons, or 311 average of five hundred
tolls per steamer, the estimate of the equip
ment bureau, tint the wants of the service
tinder the 1,141 system, as you term it. A
contact IVIIO 1101111' ill loliS—tllolllsl Of
1Y1111•11 I have memoranda—for tell thou
sand ton, at Philadelphia, at >33.33 per ton.
But this 01'110 probably at a less rate than
the average purchases, which are about
$1; but 1'(Ill at $3, which is sometimes
paid, the cost for 11e,0041 mils--a year's eon
sumption --Nvould be I;il50,000. This is the
the sum total required for coal 114 r steamers
annually, ill 111110 of peace; and from this
amount, in consequence of having "given
full sail power and having rerigged" the
steamers at great expense, you pledge
yourself, all4l declare "it can be shown by
thxlires," that you will make " a saving of
more than ttell millions of dollars per an

consumed under the old system !" Sir, let

the consent or knoteledge of Congress—and
I apprehend without vonsulting the naval
constructors—the interest of the money on

tions since the 4th of March would vastly
more than pay for the coal :uinually 1•011-

The Postmasters of the leading cities, at
the Conference held in Washington have
concluded upon the following alterations in
the postal system: Reducing the registry
fee from fifteen to six vents; establishing
agencies in all the large cities for the regis
tration of letters; reducing the fee on mon
ey orders in sums not exceeding $lOO to five
cents; all unsealed erroulars, newspapers
and periodicals dropped into free delivery
office for delivery within the limits of that
office, be rated at one cent, prepaid by
stamps; that circulars, instead of being
made exceptional to miscellaneous matter,
be classed under that head, and that the
charge be two cents for every four ounces.
They also recommend a thorough registra
tion service between largo Post-offices, by
means of a combination lock or sealed
pouches, and also giving intermediate re
ceipts. There is a general unanimity of feel
ing among the members of the Conference
that $lOOO is a fair compensation for car
riers. When the Postmaster-General sub
mits to the country this reduction in the
registry and money order fees, he will rec
ommend the puplic to send no moneys by
any other means than through these two
channels.

THE COOKE SCANDAL.
Commotion in a Methodist Church--The
Pastor Elopes with a Sister.
The report which became current yester
day, announcing the elopement of a prom
inent clergyman of this city with a young
lady of his congregation, has created sad
consternation among a large and influential
religions denomination. The facts briefly
detailed are these:
The Rey. Horace Cook, who has, until
his sudden departure been presiding over
the Seventh street Methodist Episcopal
Church, became enamored of a young lady
of his chtiisih, and after paying considerable
attention to her, which was scarcely com
patible with his position as a clergyman, or
consistent with his relations as a husband
and father, he left his home, and meeting
the young lady by appointment, conducted
her to a steamer, and sailed for Europe.
The young lady is but 16 years of age,
and is of a simple and confiding nature, un
tutored in the ways of the world, and rear
ed by a pious and cultured family. Her
name is Miss Johnson, and she was a pupil
in Twelfth street School. She had oft6n
expressed her admiration for her minister,
Mr. Cook, in her naturally artless manner,
but no one imagined that there had been
impropriety in their intercourse. Mr. Cook
had been very attentive to her, but his
manner is very suave and his nature social
and his fondness for young people conspi
cuous, so that any particular interest which
he showed for; Miss Johnson's society did
not awaken suspicion.
It now appears that he was accustomed to
meet this young lady in the afternoons as
she came from school, and to walk with her.
This was not known to the parents. There
were reports about Mr. Cook's attentions
to Miss Johnson being very improper, and
the mother of the young lady hearing them,
reproved her for permitting Mr. Cook to
indulge in so marked attention. While
Mr. Cook was in Europe during last Sum
mer she was in frequent interchange of
letters, and it is said they were somewhat
questionable. She was at the steamer when
he left on his Summer voyage, and handed
him a slip of paper with these words inside,
"May I lod grant you a pleasant trip and
bring you bark in safety to Other
scraps which were handed lam by the young
Ludy showed that she laud no impure
thoughts and that her love to him WIN by
no means passional.
Since the pastor's return, Mr. Johnson
has been carefully watching the movements
of the minisk(r and his daughter, and lied
determined to cowhide the clergyman if he
met lain in company with ins daughter.—
But since Mr. Cook's return he has not
been discovered in ins clandestine meetings,
although they have been many.
On Thursday evening last he obtained
considerable money from his friends, and
packed a trunk anal made readiness for his
journey. On Friday afternoon he met Miss
Johnson as she came from school, and with
her books and in her school dress he led
her away. 11cr family is plunged in great
grief, and her father has acted like a crazed
man. The minister wrote a letter before
leaving the city on Saturday, telling the
father of Miss Johnson, that he " would for
feit his life for the woman he adored," anti
assuring him that she should be well eare d
for. This inflated the family, for they be
lieve that he has heartlessly, 110,i Ved lair
and sought her ruin.
Talcs. Cook, the wife of the minister, has
been prostrated by the sad occurrence. Slav
will return to her mother as soon as she
sulliviently recovers. II i 8 left
unprovided. Both families are deeply af
flicted, and seem almost distracted. There
is a general condemnation of the clergy
man, but the young lady hits been invei
gled away, it is thought, by the flattering
speeches of her betrayer. Cook was for
merly an actor, but seven years ago he be
came :t minister of the (losing.
The Evening Exprow says:
"The brothers of the school girl recently
abducted by " Rev." liorace took, tire on
the tract of • dm abductor, it is said. I f they
should catch and kill him, and another
bloody chapter be :added to the ensanguin
ed chronicles of the day, the homicide will
cling to the skirts of those who have been
preaching loose morality, and who have
so earnestly and !tastily encouraged seduc
tion, :adultery and martial infidelity under
fancy names, that even decent people have
been ein laoldened to yield to the prom ptings
of dangerous passions under impressions
Hutt they were not committing such very
wicked acts, after all.
The Young - Truly Home Again.
The elopement of Rey. lloraiie Cooke,
came near terminating in a tragedy at last.
It seems that he went from New York to
Philadelphia and pa up at a hotel. The
two were shown to a room together, but ac
cording to his report separated, he being so
stricken by conscience that he did not at
tempt to carry out his original purpose.—
on - Wednesday they returned to New York,
and Cooke going to Lovejoy's lintel, regis
tered himself as Henry I'. of St.
Louis, 3,10.
Miss Johnson returned to her holm ,
in the evening, about S o'clock, and about
the same time Mr. Cooke registered his
name as Sir. Daily at French's Hotel. At
;Ostia 0 o'clock. in the evening Mr. Brown,
a son of Paul It. Brown, :did an intimate
friend of Mr. Cooke, met [belittler opposite
the Astor !louse, and walked op street with
him up Broadway as far as Maul street.—
Mr. Cooke was fiercely agitated in manner,
and drew his pistol fitur times and sudden-
Iv returned it to his pocket. Ilis move
ments were very nervous, and heexhi Ititedit
strange excitability of temper. Mr. Brt own
sought to calm hits, anti asked him to go
up It., a restaurant, and take dinner, and
enjoy a smoke. Mr. Cooke declined the
inviiation, saying he had eaten nothing,
and did not desire te partake or anything.
Ile asked Mr. Brown to go with him to
The World “iliev, mid he would "tear the
Editor to pieces. - Finally Brown appoint
ed a meeting with Cooke at a later hour in
the evening, and they separated. Sir. Cooke
proceeded to his house, and, entering the
room, his wife saw the revolver, and fright
ened least he !night do desperate injury to
himself, sent into the church adjoining for
some one to come in to the rar,”nage.
Carter, a trustee of the church, went in, and
engaging, Mr. Cooke in iqinversation, ini
etly abstracted the revolver from his over
coat, which he had left on the sofa. Sud
denly Mr. Cooke left the house, and rail
swifily down Third Avenue and escaped
Mr. Carter, who pursued him.
Ile asked the clerk at the counter for a
copy of yesterday's Worbi. It was given
to that. After reading 5111110 portions of it
he became excited—the views of the public
on his conduct, as therein expressed, unit
ing with the sherry wine, which lie after
wards confessed he had been drinking, to
disturb his self-possession. Ile made some
inquiries of the clerk in reference to the
articles contained in the paper, which, of
course, that gentleman could not answer.
At that moment one of the gentlemen eon
peeled with the editorial department of the
World entered the publication office to ob
tain the key of the door leading to the
editor's rooms. As the manners of ''Mr.
Henry I'. Daly, of St. Louis, M 0.." were
not at that moment Special' unpleasant,
the official in the counting-room observed,
"There is a gentleman from upstairs; he
knows more about those matters than I do."
The manner of "Mr. Daly" immediately
changed. hits face became livid with auger.
Rushing towards the gentleman alluded to,
he cried out, gesticulating vehemently:
" Who wrote that article, sir'?"
Somewhat surprised at the unusual vigor
of this address, the gentleman addressed
quietly' replied;
"Your question is decidedly impertinent.
inform you."
"Ila! It was you, Men, who wrote this
foul slander. I, sir, ant the I! v. Horace
Cooke.
Ilereupon the soi-M.seiM Missourian rush
ed on his supposed - slanstercr - in an in
timidating manner, subsequently catch
ing him by the collar, and holding one
hand behind his back, as it searching in a
back pocket for a pistol. This was be
coming serious, and as the gentleman as
saulted was unwilling to become a martyr,
especially as he did not write any of the
articles objected to, he freed himself front
the threatening grasp of the reverend as
saulter. Apprehending further disturl -
ance, he bade one of the clerks to send for
an °Meer to preserve the peace.
" What do I cave now Mr :in officer; hut
I would give fcin for the num that wrote
that article."
After a few moments, in which Mr. Cooke
indulged in threats of a similar strain, an
officer came.
The delinquent pastor was then taken to
Beekman street station house and locked
up. Ile behaved (luring the night in an
excited 1111(1 almost frenzied manner. Ile
was released next morning, no one appear
ing to prosecute hint. Ilis wife says he
has been in the habit of taking laudanum
and chloroform in large doses for some
time past.
Reports which showed that Miss John
son was more than imprudent in tier rela
tions with Mr. Cooke are strengthened by
further information from his wife. When
Mr. Cooke first entered on the pastorate in
Seventh street, and before his wife hail be
come acquainted with the parishioners,
Miss Johnson used to enter the parsonage
through the basement of the church and
the rear entrance of the house, and go into
the parlor and play on the piano, with n
view of attracting her pastor to the room.
At first Mr. Cooke asked her husband what
it meant, and he said he did not know.—
She went down into the parlor, but the
young lady escaped by the rear entrance.
Ifor some time Mrs. Cooke did not know
who she was. She pretended a great love
for Baldwin, the son, and:the week before
the elopement, in coming out of the church,
she threw her arms about the boy's neck
and said she was Very glad to see him. The
day before she left she passed the parson
age and bowed very graciously to Mrs.
Cooke; this was the last that she saw of
her. Mr. Johnson told Mrs. Cooke that he
had noticed a little flirtation between her
husband anti his daughter but he thought
very little of it, and fancied that she would
soon cease to engage in it. Mrs. Cooke
told him that he did her a great wrong in
failing to tell her that. She feels confident
that she could have crushed it all in the be
ginning.
We have received the following letter,
which tells its own story, and which we
print precisely as it reached us:
To the Editor of The Tribune:
Sits: Will you give the words of a crimi
nal a place in your columns? Ido not ask
to excuse myself—Oh no! I only wish the
truth to be known. If I could only write,
I would "a plain, unvarnished tale" de
liver, but my head and my heart hurt me
so that I cannot.
On this day the young lady will be re
turned to her home, as pure and as good as
when first I saw her. She has been with
me as my sister. Of course we did not in
tend that,but my wretched heart stung me
at the beginning, and my only desire is to
repair (as fat as I' can) the injury I have
done to all my friends—so good to me—and
to the church—but "the damned blot" will
never out. (Excuse the blots, they Were
mused by the snapping of the pen,)
I wish that I could write, but I cannot.
Let me make a few statements, and for
God's sake believe ice:
Ist. I did nol—l have not seduced Miss
Johnson. If I had, why should I bring her
back? If I was villian enough to ruin her,
would I not have been Niihau enough to
keep her? It is no fear of personal Injury
that prompted me, because I could have
eluded everybody, if I chose, and I am back
now, and ready to pay any penalty the
family may require, only don't let any
body else come near me; for inasmuch as
the papers say I am a wolf, it must be re
membered that wolves bite.
2d. I did not correspond with her when
in Europe.
3d. I serer visited the school until the
day we loft the city.
4th. I was never in an assignation house
with her or any one else, in my life.
sth. hie "panel-thieves" have black
mailed me, and I defy and challenge any
living man or woman to lay aught against
my character since I have been a Minister
of the GospeL If anybody—panel-thieves or
anyone else—have letters of mine, let them
publish them. As I hope for mercy—no, I
don't hope for any; but on my sout—on
everything that men hold sacred, even the
most depraved—l swear it is not true.
I have done wickedly enough, but don't
paint me blacker than I am. 'What I was
before I entered the Ministry ought not to
damage my character or veracity now.
Many actors are better than I am ; and be
cause I have turned out a reprobate, that is
no reason lity such villainous tirades
should be launched against the Church. If
I mould be live minutes in the presence of
the man who wrote the report in The World
I would be satisfied.
My ehiefest anxiety is about the young
lady. Oh, I am certain that those who
know me, who have been intimatety eon
riveted with me, will betiere me. I never
did wickedly at Mamaroneck or Flushing.
I don't wonder they write so, for a man
who would do what I have done, it is very
natural to suppose would do anything.
Don't understand that I ant trying to ex
cuse myself., I ant not. I want neither
pity nor merry. Let that he underxbusd
perfectly.
I say, again, the young lady is pure as
snow, and I 010 ready to do anything that
will tend to eonfirin my assertion. Pardon
me for troubling you, and put this in good
shape, for I e.ui't write—although I want
to. Cootm

WEST AEIVS BI TELEGR
Innugurntion of Governor Genry
.11A it 111,11r10 I, .J:171. 18.—To-day being the
time fixed by law for the installation or the
Governor elect, the ceremonies attending
the inauguration of Governor Cleary have
been the occasion of an unusual flutter in
our permanent population, as well as of
unusual increase in the number of visitors
to the capitol. The trains which arrived in
the city last night and this morning were
crowded with patriotic and curious citizens
front all sections of the State, the arrivals
being principally of military and firemen's
organizations and political clubs having a
permanent organization or gotten up speci
ally for the occasion.
Prow an early hour this morning the
streets have ,presented a lively spectacle,
and the entire city has entered into the cel
ebration of the event of the day with all the
ardor of the Anlerieall people.
The grand procession was the principal
and most attractive feature of the affair.
The different organizations which h a d
I Well alloted places in the line assembled
according to the instructions issued yes
terday afternoon by the Ilrand Marshal.
During the moving of the procession; a
salute was tired from Capitol Il ill and con
tinned until the procession reached the cap
ital. The Ming began at 11 o'clock and the
head of the column moved with the first
gun. A negro regiment called the Excel
sior Reserves 4it Philadelphia, having been
assigned a place in the line, it was reported
early this morning, that if the negro,s took
part a large number, or perhaps all of the
Harrisburg lire companies would leave the
line. 'Finery was notch excitement in
e011.,111,11, and developments were an -
Musty looked for. When the procession
had gone over a portion of the prescribed
route and hail reached Market Square, the
Friendship Steam Fire Engine Co. No. 1, of
Harrisburg, left the line and went home.
There were some manifestations of both
applause and disapprobation among the
spectators. The Friendship is largely eOlll-
posed of Demovratie members. After the
Friendship left the line, ail the other fire
companies of Harrisburg followed their
example.
Fr the Int elligenc,
if 27' r•.s. /,' , /aurs i—lt does not require a
very long experience to convince any one,
that business men need all tha information
they can obtain to manage their affairs with
success. And a very limited observation
will discover that not a few purchase their
knowledge at the risk of fortune and repu
tation. Business is a source of happiness
in many ways, if pursued according to the
principles of a strict integrity. And we
Clare not promise ourselves happiness as
one of the results of business, unless this
consideration is rigorously complied with.
The pursuit of businesswith a strict regard
to right or wrong; with conduct marked
with an exact and mwarving conscientious
ness, and with an amiable and honorable
disposition to satisfy the mind of the pur
chaser, advantageously engages , invigor
ates and enlarges the mind. In this man
ner and temper business is profitable to a
nation or community. Though business
acuteness !nay degenerate very easily into
shrewdness, yet its usefulness is calculated
to promote self-respect; its results, if suc
cessful, increase the power of doing what
the mind conceives and the heart desires.
Selene° and literature aid our intellectual
growth, b u t the object of business is more
especially for the gratification of man's ma
terial wants. While the businessman cul
tivates, manufactures, gathers together and
distributes those things by which the body
is cherished or ordained, the scholar orig
inates, collects and furnishes food for the
mind. Both have their work and place in
society, mid upon theta devolve the duty of
main Mining the reputation of their vatting,.
No one should be so sordid of gain, nor so
unselfish of name, to not appreciate the
value of a ffiyorable public opinion. Repu
tation is a valuable species of property nr
right, which should never be violated.
With the loss of character -for integrity in
any calling, a man loses much of the solid
enjoyments of life. And the best evidence
that can lie collected of a good or bad repu
tation is a man's whole lire. If this is one
accumulative argument one way or the
other, no transient or mush-room attack or
support can 'nave the public mind from the
judgment which the general deportment
establishes.
It is a mistaken notion that business is
inconsistent with a high degree of moral
vulture or intellectual ability. On the con
trary, a man must possess considerable
strength or moral principle, and a tolerable
amount of mina, to carry oor business with
a reasonable hope of success, and to the par
fial, to say not full satisfitetion of those con
nected with the transaction. Business,
in fact may justly be :garded as a more
than common test of vi. tue, and almost a
fiery furnace to principle.
The person who meditates only on ab
stract truths, and observes life through the
windows of his study, knows comparative •
ly little of the trials, difficulties and temp
tations of business life. To know what
lies before us in daily life is considered the
prime wisdom, but if attainable at all by
any, much less in most eases of business
life. What a day will always bring forth,
11,. one knows; but he who has the expe
rience of business to guide his judgment,
may nearly conjecture what it might prob
ably lie. No man can pass many years in
business without either yielding to the
temptations which beset hint, or experi
ence s hard struggle to maintain his in
tegrity. If he is a num of sufficient
moral fortitude to encounter the dan
ger and difficulties with firmness, which
test his principles, he will acme out a mor
ally well-braced man. For it should never
be forgotten, Ilea courage that grows from
constitution often forsakes a man when he
haw the greatest o c casion for it; but cour
age which arises from a sense of duty acts
in a uniffirm manner. Let him, then, who
desires to test the strength of his principles
or improve his moral nature by useful dis
cipline, embark in trade. For experience
is the surest standard by which our char
acters can be tried. That trade is a severe
trial to virtue—too severe for the endurance
ofall 111,n—is no evidence that it is unfa
vorable to intellectual and moral growth.
And that all rogues are fools is no doubt
true, but that all business men must ne
cessarily be deeply steeped in the vile li
quid that dyes scoundrels, we will not
without explicit argument admit And if
'rogues and fools•hy fits are fair and wise,'
who Will brand With dishonestythe man that
struggles through a thousand snares to
build a fortune and make a name.
CALCULI IN THE STOMACHS OF HORSES.
—Our correspondent from Conestoga writes
as follows:
W noticed a communication in the Week
ly Express of Saturday last on Calculi in
Horses. After noticing the item published
originally in the DAILY INTELLIOENCEII of
December 20th, in regard to the nnprece
dentedly large calculus discovered in tile
intestines of a mare belonging to Dr. John
Kendig, of Conestoga ('entre, it says "The
writer then goes on to say that the like is
not on record. As regards size this may be
true, but not as to the concretion." We
had reference only to size, when saying
"the like is not on record." We are well
aware that intestinal, as well as urinary
and biliary calculi have been found in
horses, though they are rather uncommon,
and we would not have considered the sim
ple fact of a calculus being found in the in
testines of an animal of sufficient impor
tance to chronicle in the newspapers, had
it not been for its large size-27 inches in
circumference one way—which we claim
to be unprecedented. The writer in the
Express calls attention to some calculi in
the possession of Dr. Miller, of La-mpeter,
which he says "vary about fromfcru.r.to tea
or eleven inches in circumference It. a
body 27 inches in circumference weighs 10
pounds, a similar body 11 inches inairaum
ference will, according to a strict mathe
matical calculation, weigh less than three- .
fourths of a pound, and one of 10 inches in.
circumference a fraction over one-half a
pound. It will thus be seen that the one
found in Dr. Kendig's animal is more than
13 times as large as the largest in Dr. Mil
ler's possession. The only mystery is that
the animal did not die before the calculus
had reached such an enormous size.

SEVERAL interesting items from local
correspondents are unavoidably crowded

None of the cases had been tried when the
Court adjourned at noon.
Mr. John Fondersmith, of this city, was
appointed Foreman of the Grand Jury, and
the returns of the different Constables of
the city and county were heard.
Monday Afiernoon.—The following eases
were disposed of this afternoon :

of assault and battery on John Martin.—
The Court examined the prosecutor, and
heard the statement of the defendant. Tre
witz was sentenced to pay a fine of twenty
dollars, with costs of prosecution.

lids city. (in trial.
Coi:Yritv ITEMS.—The roads were in a
very tine condition at the beginning of the
present week, but the warm days of Wed
nesday and Thursday rendered them soft
and muddy on the surface, and the existing
disagreeable weather will make hauling or
driving over them very unpleasant.
The growing wheat looks pretty will,
that which was sown early is in a very
flourishing condition. The fields which
were sown late do not look well, but may
eventually grow finely and yield a good
crop. It is as yet too early to form any
definite conclusions respecting the quantity
of wheat to be harvested in this county
next summer. A large surface has been
sown with this indispeusible cereal, and
should the sea-son prove propitious the ens
ternary large yield may be anticipated.
Although !armors are more than any
other class of people independent of the
fluctuations of the money market, never
theless, no class of people watch with inure
interest monetary matters. The price oj
gold is weekly read in rural districts and
the conclusions reached respecting the
probable effect of the premium it co m in an t Is
upon the price of the commodities dealt in
by farmers is very shrewdly surmised. In
the country money is scarce and there is
quite a demand for loans to meet the wants
of the first of April; a large quantity of
grain, however, will be sent to market, be
tween this time and the first, which will
render money more plentiful and erudite
most farmers to meerinaturing obligation,
without any serious einharitssment.
INTERcounsE - A ,drresissideni
sends the following:
An amusing affair occurred at the o tap
last Saturday. An unusually large crowd
of sportsmen had assembled to take part in
a fox chase. The fox had been confined in
a barrel previous to its being let loose,
when some evil-disposed person substi
tuted in its stead a large red house eat. The
(TA being started in the woaxls, the exchange
was not discovered by the huntsmen at
the 'time. After waiting the usual length
of time for the dogs to start, the spurting
fraternity mounted their torsos, expecting
to have a long and exciting c•lntse, (it being
reported that the fox was caught in Mary
land,) and after dashing away through the
woods for ehout one mile, his catship was
diseovered sitting on the top of a large
chestnut tree ! The eat giving the turn and
hoilifids a glimpse of its claws and bristles.
The usual process of " gagging the fox"
was dispensed with, and the cat left to find
its way back as hest it 'cold. Mr. I leery
Hurst, of Chester county, booing the first
man at the tree, received the purse, which
amounted to something (over fifty dollars.

.lons PAGE.—We have received a letter
from Messrs. Mumford and Cameron, Real
Estate Brokers, in Kansas City, Mo., in
quiring for one John Page, whose sudden
disappearance in that city, a short time ago,
has created fears that he was murdered for
some money which he was known to have
in his possession. Messrs. Mumford and
Cameron state that Mr. Page represented
himself as from near Lancaster, Pa., and
that he was a man of gentlemanly hearing.
Mr. Page, when in Kansas City, stated that
he had been from home for some three
months.

THE OLD BUCHANAN FAMILY CLOCK.-
A clock made for the father of Ex-Presi
dent Buchanan is still in existence and
doing good service in the State of Illinois.
A letter written from the town of Mon
mouth, in that State, gives the following
sketch of this ancient time-piece :
Stopping at, the National hotel, (which,
by the by, is one of the neatest, cosiest.
hotels ha Illinois,) I observed standing in
the corner of the office, an old-fashioned
clock; originally ten _feet in height, before
its ornamental top was broken, solid ma
hogany case, brass works, and showingthe
changes of minutes, day of the month and
the hours, mi and seconds. This re
markable time-keeper was made in Mer
cersburg, Pennsylvania, in 1807, at a cost
of $lOO.OO, to the order of the father of James
Buchanan. At his death it was sold to the
father-in-law of the present proprietor of
the National Hotel, 'Mr. J. 11. Murphy,
who purchased it at a sale held by the
former for the sum of $40.00. Mr. M.
moved from Afercersburg to Sterling, this
State, in 1865, and last spnng to Monmouth,
bringing the faithful old clock with him.
It has been cleaned from time to time, but
has never required repairing. Mr. Murphy
is a genial, communicative, silver-haired
old gentleman. He knew the elder and
you iger Buchanans intimately.

In exhibiting the annual statement of the
affairs of the Company, the Board take pleas
ure In eluting that the year which has Just
closed has been one of great prosperity, not
only In regard to the increase of Insurance, but
also in regard to the comparative exemption
from loon, the Increase of insurance during the
year being five hundred and forty thousand,
nine hundred anti five dollars (8540,966), the
amount of loss for the same period being at-
I elm hundred and thirty-seven dollars and
twenty-flve cents (01.',37.25) which has been
settled and paid out of the balance of fumes,/
itient No. Is intuit. In November, 1888, and
from the receipts of the office. For allot of the
looses for tire year, see payments made by the
Treasurer. 'I here is yet remaining in the'
hands or the Treasurer three hundred and lifty
one dollars and eighty-nix cents (0351.86) with
five hundred and ninety-two dollars and fifty
cents (.5112.50) tine from Agents, to meet future
demands on the Company. There has been n
.liner presented to the Board by Philip A.
Burger, of Milloraville, for the loss of the con
tents of his vinegar factory, on the 15th of last
September, the payment of which has been
retuned by the Board. Suit has been Instituted
against the Company, and the matter will be
passed titam before the proper tribunal. There
haft also been a claim presented by Henry Im
mel, of Nlillersville, for the recent loon of his
house and contents, which were Insured for one
thousand and fifty dollars (111f60.00), It seems
clear to the Board, beyond all question, that
Mr. Immel has rendered Itix policy void, by a
violation of a provision contained In all poli
cies issued by this Company, to wit. "Provided
and It la hereby declared, that this policy shall
not take effect or be binding If the said house,
he., be now, or hereafter, insured In any other
office, unless the same shall be allowed of by
the Directors of this Mace, and specified here
on." The Board regret the difficulty with re
gard to these claims, nonesuch having occurred
heretofore, It is hoped none finch will occur
hereafter. From the above statement it will
lye observed that a large amount of Insurance
ban been rendered void front non-payment of
assessment No. Is, members who have been
dismissed from the Company for that reason
eon not complain, as full notice and ample time
have been given for payment, and as it was the
only assessment made on their policies for the
last four years, should have been promptly
paid. • It would be unjust to promptpaying
members, that delinquents should enjoy the
benefits of the Company, and not bear their
proportion of the losses. To any such della
quontx who may know by examining their
policies, that tilts assessment is not paid, and
whose insurance in now:void, we would state
that bye resolution of the Board they ran have
their policies renewed on the payment of their
arreare, but be subject to the expense of a
resurvey and new policy. The benefit of the
three per rent. originally paid on their premis
tun notes will be allowed them.
All of which in respectfully submitted.
