Eancaster 3ntelligencer. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1871 Obltuari lion. Isaac E. Ifiester, On Saturday, the 28th ult., this com munity was greatly shocked by the an nouncement that Hon. Isaac E. Hiester, had been stricken down by paralysis. From that until o'clock on Monday morning, he lingered in a semi-con scious condition, never speaking, but being able to recognize the friends who gathered around his bed In anxious so licitude. The deceased was the son of Hon. Wm. Hiester, and a grand-nephew .of Gov. Joseph Hiester. He was born in May, 1824. At an early age he was sent to the Moravian school for boys at Lltiz, afterward to the Abbeville Academy, and subsequently to Bolmar's Institute, at West Chester, where he was prepared for college. In 1 35 he entered Yale and continued his studies, graduating with high honor. lle read law in this city with Thomas E.

In 1812 he was elected to Congress by the Whig party, and, young as he was, made his mark in that body, deliver ing a brilliant speech against the Kansas-Nebraska bill. When the ICnow-Nothing party sprung up Mr. lilester's convictions led 111111 to do bat tle against the Illiberal policy of that organization, anti lie wits left to stand with a fragment of the better nail more llberal-mintled men of the old 'Whig party, by Mann he was again 110111i1111- toil for Congress in ti.;-1, when he was defeated by the Know-Nothing candi date. Being a man bl* eonseientious convictions, end too high-minded ever to trim his course so as to court popular favor - at the expense of pont ieal priuti ple, Mr. Mester connected himself with the organization which represented his sentiments, and from the decease of the Whig party was always [olll\l'll Its a leading Dennwrat.

THE Legislative Joint Committee drawn In the Price-Lynd Judicial con tested election case, having held three meetings at which the contestant failed to appear, have resolved to report in favor of Lynd, the sitting Judge. The Committee was composed of Itcpubli ens exclusively. THE infamous and odious test-oath has been repealed. 'l' is practically enfran chises nine-tenths of the white men In tkcAtouth. THE public debt statement for Febru cry Ist, shows a decrease of $4,040,980 Once January Ist. Frauds In the State Printing That the people of Pennsylvania have been annually cheated out of a round sum of money for some years past, by those who have had the management of the public printing, seems to be con ceded. The attention of the Legislature and of the public was very forcibly at tracted to this business, when an offer was made to do all the State printing, provided for by law, at 991 per cent. be low the rates fixed before the war, when labor and material were cheaper than they are to-day. When one of the bid ders offered to take twelve cents and a half for doing a hundred dollars worth of work, It Is not strange :that there should have been surprise on the part of members of the Legislature, and won der among their constituents. It was evident at a glance that the State prin ter must be up to ways that are dark to enable him to do work at such prices. Three years ago, when the last letting of the State printing occurred,,Mr. P. Gray Meek, a member of the House from Centre County, himself a practi cal printer, called the attention of the House to the evidences of mismanage ment, and the opportunity for the per petration of frauds which existed under the system, which had been employed. Mr. Meek did what he could at that time to induce the Committee. of which he was member, to take some action whereby the State might be protected but the Republican majority refused to listen to his representations and permit ted the whole subject to pass without any proper consideration. On the lust day of the session, Air. Meek made a minority report which concluded as follows : Under Act, of Assembly of Pint the heads ~r Departments wore authorized to order such minting as they may deem necessary, and in such =miler as they nary proscribe. The law under which the State printing is contracted for specifies how a certain Mass of work shall be done, and the contract fixes the rate per eention below regular trade rates at which the present State printer has agreed to do this work, 'llse courts it is ascertained have decided that all work not ordered in accordance with the specifi cations in the act of 15301 Is not subject to the deduction of the per centiim fixed in the contract, price, and Gar some re,11.9011 or other, of your committee, the heads ul departments orJrr fi q),Plilt /Ily, is fact nearly all of it, to be done ,i//,- . r Mon iii iircorcimice with the specifi cations, thus giving the State printer an opportunity to charge full rates for sourly all the work dune r,r the sLate. The minor its would therelMe recommend the repeal of the act of 15111 authorizing the heads or departments and the clerks of both houses of the Legislature to circler such work done as they miry 11,111 Ill•CeSSltry in the manner they may prescribe; and the passage of an act requiring all printing, lithographing, ...Hating, binding, ruling, Ac., clone Mr the State should be subject to the discount named in the contract tor doing the work. The language used by Mr. Meek lets iu eonsiderahle light upon the manage ment of the State printing. It shows that the law of 1854, by which the work to be done for the State was rated at a If xed price, has collie to Is' a dead letter. The Act of 1661 which gives Heads of Departments and the Clerks of the two I louses authority to order work in such manner as they may see lit, took nearly all the State printing out of the provis ions of the law of 1539, and this Act of 1011, which opened the door to extravm gance and fraud, was made still wider in its application by a decision of the Dauphin County Court, The Republi can majority of the Committee was sus tained by the Republican majority of the House, and Mr. Meek's report War; Wl verenioniou,ly tabled. Under the loose system which has prevailed since the law of 1530 Was vir tually repealed by indirection, the cost of the State printing has swelled enor mously. In l'ss9 the cost to the State, under Democratic rule, was $35,282 79. In 1870, after a long term of Republican ride, the cost of the State printing had swelled to the sum of $147,738 93, an in crease 0f:i•.•112,433, and 571,090 01 more than it amounted to in IS‘64, when the war was being waged and an immense amount of extra printing being done for all the departments of the State government. It would be an endless task to show up all the means, great and small, by which the State is swindled in this single 'natter of public printing, but a few foots will help the tax-payers to get some insight into the matter. The Stale furnishes all the paper used fur State printing, and it is purchased un der the supervision of an official who is ifIIONVII as the Superintendent of Public Printing and Binding. If this position were tilled by an honest man, the State would neither be cheated in the pur chase of paper nor in the work done by the State printer. But there is abun dant evidence to show that it has been badly swindled in both. The corres pondent of a leading Philadelphia paper wrote from Harrisburg a few days ago, as follows: In tile Milner or the emaraet fm.M,ll - paper to the State, frauds of the most pat 'midi:mid barefaced character have been practised. The contract of one year 10110 lot to a patty by the Superintendent of Publjo Printing, at a figure at least 20 per cent. more than the same 111110111 a of paper, of the ',line quality, could have Leon tar nished from other quarters, or in open mar ket, arid what rendered the thing still worse, nit a single sheet of the kind o f paper contracted to be furnished Iyas fur nished, tutor the contract, but a much in iirnele notwithstanding all this tea, Wade apparent to the al the 111,0 letting, lie awarded the contract lot' this year to the same parties, tvlii. were ma the lowest bidders for all the quantities pallor ad vertised Mr. These thingssholuld be remedied. Hut will they? The charges made in the above para graph cure believed to he within the inark be those who are he,t informed. Nay, those who ought. to know go still further, and openly declare that large annonnonds of paper h;n•e been paid for by the Sturm, , which were never received, or large lids charged at double their :11111/1111 I. If these charges be true, it is en , y to see how the bill for public print ing has been so enormously swollen. But there are a multitude of minor opportunities for swindling the State, at the command of the State printer, under the liresent loose system of contracting with him. The work done under his hid amounts to a mere fraction of the whole amount, and he could well alliird to 'my for the privilege of doing that, if :Wowed to charge, as he has done for years past, fur the balance. For live common cards, furnished to each mem her of the Legislature, with his name and comity printed on them, the State is charged $1;to, when $2O would pay well for the work. A little pamphlet of twelve pages, called a Legislative Di rectory, is charged for at the rate of $66 per thousand copies, When money could lie made on it at More bills and documents . are said to lie habitually charged for than are received, and va rious other devices are resorted to swell the bill against the State. It was high time fur a change, and, now that the attention of the people has heen called to this business, they will be content with nothing less than such a Radical change as will protect them front similar impositions in the future. The Legislature has the power to reme dy all the evils complained of, and the tax-payers expect them to do so. Let a MD be passed which will prevent the State printer from robbing the State Treasury, and then let the work be given to the lowest bidder. The amount of work might also be materially re duced and money saved thereby. Let us have complete reform in this matter. MAMIE W. M. HALL, Esq., of Bedford, has been appointed by Governor Geary to the Judgeship of the 10th Judicial Dis trict, composed of the counties of Frank lin, Fulton, Bedford and Somerset, made vacant by the death of Judge King.

Cessna and the Chorpennlng Fraud We publish elsewhere a full account of the active connection of John Cessna with the Chorpenning fraud. It is need less to say that this is one of the most outrageous attempts to swindle the gov ernment that was ever made or discov ered. John Cessna is too smart not to have known the nature of the transac tion in which he was engaged. What he did was done with his eyes wide open. It would he quite as easy to catch a weasel asleep, as to "shut up his eye. It is said that the affidavits on which Chorpenning based his exorbitant and false claims, and which were professed to be made before an alcalde n New Mex ico, were cunningly manufactured within the limits of Cessna's District, in a little town in Somerset County, before a country Justice of the Peace. John Cessna may not have been fully aware of all the iniquity involved in the out rageous swindle, but he could hardly have been ignorant of the main facts.— He must have known when he intro duced his joint resolution, and had it hurried so rapidly and so secretly through both Houses, on the very last day of the session, that he was engaged in the villainous attempt to swindle the government. II t?, sat dumb under the damaging exposure of his con duct which was made by Mr. Dawes, when all eyes In the House were turned upon him, and when he was expected, by the few friends he has,to deny, his guilt,he open ed not his mouth. Never before was any member of Con gress from Pennsylvania so openly and so deeply disgraced. John Cessna ought to be ashamed to show his face In the bull of the House hereafter. Fortu nately for the credit of the Common wealth, he will disappear from public life forever In a few days. He has ut terly failed to make ally case on which to base the contest against Mr. Meyers, and the exposure of his conduct In the Chorpenning swindle will leave him without a friend among the more re spectable Republicans in Congress. lie has sounded all the depth of political baseness, and will be allowed to sink into obscurity without n single regret on the part of any decent man in the State of Pennsylvania. The kaid of th.e Dechert Contest After the majority of the Committee nude their report In the case, declaring the petition of Mr. Lyndall to he Insuf ficient iu its tnernteuts to justify a con test, the minority made a dissenting re port. This report contained very gross inaccuracies. Mr. raham had clipped it column of fi g ures front an editorial which appeared in I•orney's Pruss, and had pasted them in as part of his report. The figures were inaccurate, and did, what it is said figures will not do—they lied. The falsehoods contained in them, and consequently in the minority re port, were at once exposed by the Demo cratic members of the Committee, to the entire sati-faction of the Senate and the great shame and eoufusiou of Mr. Gra ham, who begged leave to withdraw his report for amendment. Leave was of course granted, and he presented an other report on Monday night,. To that the Committee replied, exposing other fallacies and falsehoods, whereupon the Conunittee was discharged front the further consideration of the subject. That justice has been done in thus disposing, of the attempt to reverse the decision fit the people of the first Sena torial district at the polls, will be the general opinion of all honest and fair minded men. It is time to put a stop to this thing of contesting elections which are fairly and honestly made. It has grown to i.e one of the greatest abuses in our National and State gov ernments, and has become a fruitful source of unnecessary expense. A Non-Partisan Convention The propriety of providing that the convention to reform the Slate Consti tiun shall he perfectly nos-partisan in its character, will no doubt be fully re eognized by the Legislature. The follow ing resolution has just keen introduced into the,Senate by :gr. ltilbmghtlt Ecsoircd, That the committee ou consti tutional reform be, and they are hereby, instructed CO embody in their bill, to be framed fur the calling of a convention to amend the constitution of Pennsylvania, a pros ision for equal representation, consist ing of an equal mother of delegates from each Senatorial or Congressional District, all to he elected at large, with the privilege for each elector to vote tor one-half the number of delegates to be elected to said convention, so that said convention may be relieved fri,tll all peril Of partisan control. 'the plan suggested by Mr. BillingftTn. would secure the desired end. It mat ters not about the form of election so the result be reached. If we are to have a convention in which the people of Pennsylvania can have full confidence it must be perfectly non-partisan. \Vitt' the two parties equally divided there will be tot temptation to introduce par tisan measures, and the business of the convention will be confined to reforms in which all the people orthe State will have all interest. The work of such a convention would be well done, and endorsed by the people of the State without respect hi party. The Senate has the power to insure the adoption of a bill which would give us a non-parti san convention, and it must, see to it that no bill is allowed to puss which dues not provide bretinal representation of the two great political parties. Forney's Prfsx announces, seemingly nil authority, that Ben. Butler is to be made Secretary of State, and other changes to be effected in Grant's Cabi net before the all day of March. The country will not regard the exchange of Butler for Fish as any improvement. Ills absurd speech in reference to Cana da and the fishery question will cause alarm. It may be that Ilrant will be induced to recede front what is an nounced to he I ‘ his present intention though lie has been guilty of so many gross blunders that the country will he dlsappointed at nothing he may do. The journals in Maryland report that great distress prevails among the birds in that reizion of country, as owing to the ground being covered with snow, they are deprived of their usual means of obtaining food, a n d seem to ire in a starving condition. The partridges, crows and hawks seem to be most seri ously distressed, and the hawks, much tamer than usual, congregate hAldly around the barn-yards for food. Plow. O. L. C. 1.11 . (;Es, formerly a negro barber in Lancaster and since editor of the defunct (b.ition (If Liberty, in Harrisburg, and Major T. Morris Chester, a safron-colored disciple of Blackstone, have tiled cross-suits for libel against each other in the courts of Dauphin County. Last election-day they were as thick as Iwo thieves to gether, and drove around the city in tLe same carriage encouraging the sable suffragans to vote early and often. limirrnNA I, insanity is evidently not duly appreciated in Ohio.

We hope the giving these dogs a bad name may prove to be as effective as hanging them. WOU1.1)-13E-INIEMBEItS of Congress— Radical reprobates who failed to show even such claims to a seat as John Cess na would consider sufficient, carried of? $51,500 of the money wrung from hon est hard-working tax-payers last year. Let that little steal be remembered to gether with the multitude of big ones. Cabinet hanges Starving Birds How to Prevent Constitutional Reform If we are to judge the intention of certain leading Republicans in our State Legislature by their acts, we should be compelled to conclude that they intend to prevent any Constitutional reform. Several bills of a partisan character have been introduced, one in the Senate by Mr. Connell, of Philadelphia, and one in the House by Mr. Mann, of Potter. Each of these distributes the delegates to a Constitutional Convention accord ing to the present unequal apportion ment, with the design of securing a de cided Republican majority in that body The Democrats would be wanting in spirit and regardleas of the public good if they allowed any such bill to pass. They are ready and willing to vote for a bill which will give equal representa tion to the two great political parties in a Constitutional Convention, but they will not, and they ought not to allow any act to pass which would give either party a majority. Only from a non partisan Convention can proper reforms be expected. If either party should have a majority, the time of the Convention would be consumed in efforts to secure partisan advantages, bitterness of feeling would be engender ed, the confidence of the people in the action of the Convention would be shaken, and the amended Constitution would be likely to be rejected when it came before the people. The action of the Republican majority In the House, in rushing through the crude bill pre pared by Mr. Mann, shows a settled de termination to give a strongly partisan character to the contemplated Constitu tional Convention. To that the Demo cratic members of the Legislature will never submit. They will support any bill which will Insure equality of repre sentation, but none other; and, in so doing, they will be sustained by the in dependent press of the state and by a vast majority of the people of Pennsyl vania. Influence of the Pennsylvania Central. The Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company made a United States Senator of one of Its solicitors on the retirement of Hon. C. R. Buckalew, and a Penn sylvania Member of Congress declared the other day, in explanation of his ac tion on the Cincinnati Bridge question, that he dared nut cast his vote in oppo sition to the interest of the Pennsylva nia Central, as that Company could de feat his renomination and prevent his return to Congress. The Senator and the Member of Congress referred to are both members of the Radical, party in good standing. It was a member of the same party who entered the lower House of our State Legislature, two or three years ago, on the last day of the session and exclaimed : " I have just seen Tom. Scott, and he informs me that he has nothing more for the Legislature to do ; I move, therefore,that this body do now adjourn." The motion was carried ; the House adjourned sine die, and the servants of the great corporation stepped up to the Captain's office and drew their pay for services rendered. How Cessna Engineered the Chorpen nlng Fraud. Those who know John Cessna know hint to be a lawyer fertile in rascally ex pedients. He combines within himself all the bad qualities of the notorious firm of Quirk,Gammon & Snap, immortalized in Warren's "Ten Thousand a Year." He was the very man to engineer the Chorpenning fraud through Congress. The Washington Poeriot te.. II s Low he managed the job. It says : "On the 14th of July, Mr. Cessna, not a member of the Com In ittee on Post Offices, succeeded by his personal misrepresenta tions in passing a joint resolution so art fully drawn as to conceal its design, and predicated upon the basis of the law of 1857, which was itself a fraud upon Con gress, and so exposed by Postmaster-Gen eral Brown. Nu human being but the in terested parties could understand the scope of Mr. Cessna's plundering scheme, and it was so well managed that all debate was prevented, and no call of the yeas and nays could be obtained. All the preparations had been made for expedition. The bill was engrossed in advance, hurried to the Senate, sent back with an amendment, re passed, and was the first thing signed and returned by the President the next morn ing. All this occurred between 3 P. M. and 9 A. M. of the ensuing last day of the ses sion." Compliments. is a rumor in Washington that We are not much given to sounding .

Should the Dis trict Attorney decline In draw an in formation, lie is directed to report the case with the evidence to the Circuit Judge. The law further provides for an arraignment before the County Judge, so that if the defendant should plead guilty, he may at once be sentenced,and not be compelled to he in jail awaiting the session of the Circuit Court. A simi lar law has been introduced into the Wisconsin Legislature. THE news from France is meagre and unsatisfactory, but enough to show that a bitter quarrel has broken out between the contending factions of the Republi cans.

THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEES of the two houses of Congress still fail to agree on the technical question of the right of the Senate to introduce the Income Tax Repeal bill. The same bill was defeated last session by parliamentary humbuggery, And it is evident that the present strategy is intended to serve the same purpose. THE House of Representatives iu Washington.--inqe concluded to fight Brigham I?unearid Mormonism by Federal laws,lnstead of powder and ball, and to this end on Saturday it was agreed that the re-districting of the Ter ritory be taken from the Legislature and given to U. S. Judges, who have lately perplexed the Mormon authorities. The authority to grant private charters, by which prominent Mormons were enriCh ing themselves with mining lands is also taken from the Legislature. Soldiers' Orphan Schools. The mismanagement of the Soldiers' Orphan Schools, which had grown up under the late Superintendent, Col. Mc- Farland, led to much comment. The course of Governor Geary In continu ing McFarland in office, after the Sen ate refused to confirm him, was justly condemned. A very proper bill was in troduced in the Senate early in the pres ent session, which provides for the abolition of the department created for the management of these schools, and transfers the care of them to the State Superintendent of Common Schools.— The debate in the Senate was damaging to McFarland, and, from the temper of the Legislature, it was evident that the Senate bill would pass both branches. Seeing that he could no longer maintain an illegal hold upon the office, out of which he had managed to make so much money, Col. McFarland forwarded to the Governor on Thursday last a letter of resignation. He resigned to escape the ignominy of being virtually ex pelled by the abolition of his office. His friend, the Governor, accepted his resig nation with profound regret, and pro ceeded at once to appoint Mr. James I'. Wickersham Superintendent of the Or phan Schools, thus making a virtue out of a necessity, and complying with the terms of the proposed law before its passage. Had the Governor allowed time for the passage of the bill the Superintendent of Common Schools would have taken the place held by Mc- Farland without executive intervention. As the law contains proper provisions for the regulation of the Orphan Schools It will no doubt be pushed through, as It ought to be. That Professor Wicker. sham will discharge the new duties de- • valved upon him to the best of his ability we have no doubt. The Steamship Subsidy Buslntss The assurance is now repeatedly gin'en front Washington that all thus übsidy bills, steamship and railroad, now be fore Congress, are doomed to defeat. We shall feel surer about this when the last day of the session finds them dead or unacted nit ; for, as the New York Jour/m/q/Coinnorec truly says, some of them have a power of vitality in their bodies and will die hard. Contrasted with the enot mous demands of the sub sidy hunters, particularly the steam ship men, the saute paper sets the mod est request of a number of shipowners and merchants, who are tow signing a remonstrance against aid to steamships "under the specious pretense" of reviv ing Anwrican commerce, and asking ()lily for the privilege of buying ships in the cheapest market, as thereby alone can they complete with the rest of the world. Life insurance. It is announced that so many policies have been allowed to lapse since the failure of the Partners and Mechanics' Life Insurance Company of New York, that the "receiver of that Company, ap pointed by the Supreme Court, finds himself in possession of sufficient assets to reinsure all the policies remaining in force, and that, under the direction of the Court, he lots transferred the assets to the Empire Mutual Insurance Com pany, who have assumed all the out standing policies, including policies already matured by sleuth." This is very well so far as it goes, but it is claim ed that all those insured at the time of the failure of the Company are entitled to an equitable share of the assets, and that no policy-holder should forftit his interest in the Company for .leclining to put more 1111 , 11ey into a rim , rn that was confessedly bankrupt.

The Test-Oath Bill The bill recently passing both Houses of Congress to relieve certain classes of per sons from the necessity of taking the test oath, or "iron-clad," previous to entering on office under the Federal government, may have its significance made clearer by a word of comment. The political disabil ities originally imposed on the Southerners are summed up in two branches: the four teenth amendment, excluding from office all who held office before the war; and the "iron-clad," excluding all who stood by the South in the war, even though not holding otlice before. By act of Congress of July 11, 1868, it was provided that those amenable to the fourteenth amendment should, on havi❑g the disabilities thereby imposed removed, take a certain form of oath before entering on office, and the bill just passing Congress is to allow all who are not amenable to the fourteenth amend ment, but are to the " iron -clad," to hold office on taking the same oath. The act for those relieved from the fourteenth amendment is as follows: AN ACT prescribing an oath of otbce to be taken by persons from whom legal disa bilities shall have been removed. Be it enacted by the .S'enate and Haase of Rcpt . ,.Acne/I/lees of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That whenever any person who has participated in the late rebellion, and from whom all legal disabilities arising therefrom have been removed by act of Congress by a vote of two-thirds of each House, has been or shall be elected or appointed to any office or place of trust in or under the govern ment of the United States, he shall, before entering upon the duties thereof, instead of the oath prescribed by the act of July 2, 16132,take and subscribe to the following oath Or affirmation : I, A. 13., do solemnly swear (or affirm: that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same: that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion ; and that I will well and faith , fully discharge the lobes of the oillee on which I ant about to enter.

India is a long way off from us, but it wilt be remembered that the epi demic of 1517, which appeared in the lian ges, broke away from those marshy regions and traveled around the world, counting its victims by hundreds of thousands, a curious feature of that visitation being that it journeyed with the precision of an old traveler, pursuing the course of rivers and eommon roads until it had stopped at almost every point of the habitable globe, ending its journey, apparently, at New ()Hemet.

THE EXECUTION OF HANLON Last Hours of the Child Illortlerer There being no intention to take advan tage of the writ of error in the ease, and the appeal made by Hanlon's spiritual ad visers for a respite not being pressed, after the Governor's first refusal to listen to it, the condemned man could do nothing but prepare for death in his miserable way. The family of Hanlon—his wife, mother and sisters—called to see him for the last time. The leave-taking was painful in the extreme, especially with the sisters, who manifested a strong attachment fur John during the trial. Some time was spent alone with his spir itual advisers, and, alter they left. Inspector Chandler, Keichline and others calico to say a few parting words. To one of the prison officials who referred to the few re maining hours of life left . him, he said he did not fear to die, and when the hour ar rived it would find him ready. But be talked very little about the occurrence, and it was avoided by others. In a conversation on Monday last lion lon alluded freely to the murder and de nied positively that he had ever made the statement which Michael Dunn swore to in court. All efforts to get hint to admit ur deny his guilt proved fruitless. Ile stated that he prayed for Detectives Smith and Taggart and Dunn, because his religion taught him so to do. It is said that he has left an important statement, Whieb will be revealed. He manifested the utmost composure during the entire morning, and joined ear nestly With the clergymen in the devotion al exercises connected with the prelimi nary ceremony to the hanging. 1I is cell was the same as that occu plot by I..iton, Probst, and other murderers. Mrs. Steinmeyer, a sister of Ilaltlon, re mained with him lain evening until eleven o'clock. Their parting is described as of a very affecting nature.

Slate Senator Mal lory, the limper of the bill, is Clayton'ii choice, and the programme is said to he compel Johnston to vacate his seat, elver, Mallory to the Presidency or the senate, which position would entitle him to the Gn bernatorial chair epee .1011eStell'S retire ment. “overnor Clayton and his friends assert that as Johnson, cannot legally hold his office Mallory has the strongest claims to it, as he is by them considered one of the strongest representative Republican politi cians in the State. Meanwhile Johnston bills that he was legally ipialiiied at the peoper time, and that he cannot he ousted under t h e Clayton programme. Should he succeed in maintaining his position and continuo to receive the support Of the ens. mires of Clayton, who have recently rallied around his standard, it win result in a ter rible demoralization of the Clayton wing when that gentleman cornea to the Senate. It is rumored here that the friends of Senator McDonald, of Arkansas, who re fused to enter the Senatorial con test against Clayton on the ground that the Legisla ture was nut legally constituted, will make a strong and united effort to prevent him from being admitted to his Seat, and will demand a thorough investigation into both the State election, at which the members of the Legislature were chosen, and also into the circumstances of the organization and subsequent action of that body in the mat ter of the Senatorial ballot. IN ith an eye to the possible success of tins measure, of which the Governor has information, it Is understood that he is moving to secure an adjournment of the State Legislature prior to the Ist of March, to the end that in the event of the discovery that his chances for a seat in the Senate aro hopeless, he could withdraw, and, still holding his seat as Governor, have In his hands the appoint ment Mao= one of his friends as Senator. These are the facts in the case, and it seems very evident that the Republican party of Arkansas, disintegrated as It is, will meet with a fate similar to that In several other Southern States, unless measures are very speedily adopted for restoring harmony. SAD TALE OF SHIPWRECK Driven upon the Shore In a Howling dale---Cllnwing to Life with Frozen Finicer**The Swoop of Death--• Nine Pereions Drowned. The particulars of the wrecking of the bark Kate Smith on the New Jersey coast, during Thursday's fearful storm, are giv en by the four survivors of the crow. The Kate Smith hailed from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and was loaded with pig lead. She was a staunch craft of 4(4 tons register, nearly new, and was owned in Yarmouth. Her passage was pleasant until the storm came up on Wed - nesday. A gale struck her about lu o'cloek on Wednesday night, the snow at the saute time falling so heavi ly that it was thought to be unsafe to run furtlfer before the gale. Capt. Wilson Hamilton thereupon tacked ship and stood in for the shore. The gale inermsed during the night. The snow fell faster and the cold was in tense. At hal f • past lice o'clock on Thurs day morning the vessel stranded amid the breakers of a barren beach. Vain efforts were made by the half-frozen crew to wear ship; and then, as the destruction of the vessel seemed imminent, those on board became paralyzed with tear. There were on the vessel the captain, two mates, a New York harbor pilot named Hussey, a stew ard, seven seamen, and Margaret liorhino, wile of the steward. Finally a mate and two of the crew accepted the perilous task of embarking in a small boat for the shore, in quest of aid from a neighboring life-boat station.
