vision of lights. Pojana flew by. At P.a
dua, but nine uiiles distant, our passengers
were to alight. I saw the lireman's face
turned upon me in remonstrance ; I saw
his lips move, though I could not hear a
word ; I saw his expression change sud
denly from remonstrance to a deadly terror,
and then —merciful Heaven ! then, for the
lirst time, I saw that he and 1 were no lon
ger alone upon the engine.
There was a third man, —a man standing
on my right hand,as the fireman was stand
ing on my left, —a tall, stalwart man, with
short, curling hair, and a flat Scotch cap
upon his head. As I fell back in the first
shock of surprise, he stepped nearer, took
my place at the engine, and turned the
steam oiT. I opened my lips to speak to
him ; he turned his head slowly, and look
ed me in the face.
Matthew Price!
I uttered one long wild cry, flung my
arm& wildly up above my head, and fell as
if 1 had been smitten with an axe.
1 am prepared for the objections that
may be made to my story. I expect, as a
matter of course, to be told that this was
an optical illusion, or that I was suffering
from pressure on the barn, or even that I
labored under an attack of temporary in
anity. 1 have heard all these arguments
before,, and, if I may be forgiven for say
ing so,I have no desire to hear them again.
My own mind has been made up upon this
subject for mauy a year. All that I can
say—all that I know is—that Matthew
Price came back from the dead to save my
soul and the lives of those whom 1, in my
guilty rage, would have hurried to destruc
tion. I believe this as I believe in the
mercy of Heaven and the forgiveness of
repentant sinners.

IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE IN THE DISTRICT
OF COLUMBIA.
The Senate bill for Impartial Suffrage in
the District of Columbia, passed the House
on Thursday last, by the decisive vote of
118 yeas to 4ti nays; The bill reads as
follows :
That, from and after the passage of this act,
each and every male person, excepting panpers
and persons under guardianship, of the age of
twenty-one years and upward, who,has not been
convicted of any infamous crime or offence, and
excepting p>ers(rM who may have voiuntarily left the
District of Columbia to give aid and comfort to the
rebels in the late rebellion, and who is a citizen of the
U. S. and who shall have resided in the said Dis
tinct for a period of six months previous to any
election therein, shall be entitled to the elective
franchise, and shall be deemed an elector and
entitled to vote at any election in said District
without any distinction on account of color or
race.
By the terms of this bill, it will be ob
served that no distinction is made in con
ferring the right to vote, as regards color,
aud the ouly persons disfranchised, are the
rebels who voluntarily left the District of
Columbia, to give aid and comfort to the
rebels in the late rebellion. The President
will undoubtedly return the bill, with his
objections, but as it passed both branches
I by more than the requisite vote of two
thirds, it will speedily become a law.
The adoption of this measure will be
hailed by the country with much gratifica
tion. Tie District of Columbia contains
j .the most pestilent body of rebels of any
section of the country. At the breaking
out of the rebellion loyalty was the excep
tion, in a city which has been built up aud
fostered by government patronage. Under
the very shadow of the National Capitol
the most treasonable schemes were con
cocted, and during the war the rebels ob
tained from the disloyal citizens of Wash
ington, systematically, the most valuable
information. Treason pervaded the entire
District, and extended even to those who
were living upon the bounty of the gov
ernment. The rebel army was largely re
cruited from its citizens, and where patriot
ism was professed it was hollow-hearted
and insincere. The end of the war brought
back a horde of rebel soldiers, who uniting
with the disloyal element, have controlled
the municipal elections. Since the defec
tion of the President, the tone of popular
feeling has found expression in almost as
disloyal and aggravated a shape as during
the most worst days of pro-slavery domi
nation.
The friends of slavery can thank their
own base and inconsiderate action for
bringing about the passage of this bill
making the possession of the right of elec
tive franchise impartial. Ten years ago
the social character and political enfran
chisement of the black man was regarded
as a reform which must travel from the
North Southward. It was confidently as
serted that the free States must prove the
capacity of the negro for self-government
—must take the responsibility of the risks
for his improvement, and must experiment
with him politically to test his powers of
intelligence before the people of the South
would think of conceding a social right or
a political franchise to the black man. We
believe that such would have been the case
--we believe that the enfranchisement of
the black man would have started in the
North and the reform traveled Southward
had the people of the South been true to
the Government under which they had their
political being. But the great majority of
the white people of the South proved trai
tors to the National Government, while all
the black men of the same region were loy
al. The Government now feels a duty to
make itself strong with its friends. There
is no reliance to be placed in the white
man who fought to destroy the Union. The
white resident population of Washington
city, for instance, is nine-tenth of it disloy
al, ready at any moment to attack the Gov
ernment. llence, Congress feels it its duty
to place political power in the hands of the
blacks, whom it can trust, who are faithful
to the Government. Aud thus the recog
nition of impartial suffrage in the South is
one of the just punishments of treason. It
seems righteous that the meu who have so
long been bought and sold as slaves should
be put at once on a political equality with
those who originated and carried on a re
bellion for the overthrow of the Govern
ment. It seems right, too, that the eleva
tion of the negro should at once begin
where he has been degraded. And it is
very certain that it will not be as danger
ous to the Government to educate and ele
vate a degraded class, as it was to buy and
sell human beings by its sauction.

HORACE GREELEY—GENERA I. AMNESTY.
A few weeks ago the election of HORACE
GREELEY to the Senate of the United States,
by the Legislature of New York, seemed a
moral certainty, and to-day, the moral cer
tainty is that he will not now be elected
a I nited States Senator ; and simply be
cause he came out, a few weeks ago, in a
manifesto to the republicans of the country,
declaring himself in I ivor of abandoning
the Amendments to the Constitution, pro
posed by Congress at its last, session, and
in favor of a General Amnesty, or pardon,
to all rebels. We say this is right. Such
a changing, whiffling character, is not fit
to be the representative of a party in the
United States Senate, because he is not
safe, aud can never be trusted. Why, the
probabilities are, that if HORACE GREELEY*!
was in the Senate, he would be with the
South in less than a year, on some wild
plea of humanity, or magnanimity.
We trust that, the republicans of the
State of New York, will stand by their
plighted faith to the Amendments to the j
Constitution. It is their only safety as a
party, not only because the loyal masses ,
want to see treason punished and made odi- :
ous, but because a steadfast purpose in ad-•
heriug to principles, is the only safety in
politics, as indeed, it is in any other pur- j
suit of life. As a political organization, i
we supported the Amendments for the rea- j
son that we thought them right—intrinsi-!
cally right—and we approved of the pun-1
ishment of traitors, for the reason that jus- ;
tice, and future safety required it; and we ;
have seen no reason since for a change on j
these points. Indeed, the Memphis and
New Orleans riots, and other rebel exhibi-1
tions of unfitness aud unsafeness for citi- i
zenship, have gone far to prove that we !
were right in insisting that treason required
punishment.
NEW EPISCOPAL DlOCESE. —Pennsylvania
now contains two Protestant Episcopal Di
oceses—one west of the Allegheny mount
ains, with Pittsburg as its centre, of which
Bishop Kerl'oot is the head ; aud ihe other
east of that boundary, presided over by
Bishop Stevens. At the last annual Con
vention, held in Philadelphia, it was pro
posed to subdivide the eastern Diocese ,aud
a committee was appointed to take the mat
ter into consideration. This committee met
in the rectory of Christ Church, in the city
of Reading, on the 20th ult., when the fol
lowing members were present : Rev. Dr.
Howe, of Philadelphia, Chairman ; Messrs.
Lightner, ol Danville ; Leacock, of Harris
burg ; Cummins, of Reading ; Mr. William
Welsh, of Philadelpoia ; Judge Parry, of
Pottsville ; Mr. Russel, of Towanda ; Dr.
Atlee, of Lancaster,and Mr. Gunn,of Hones
dale. The need of more Episcopal super
vision over the Diocese was generally ad
mitted and lines of division were proposed,
which we understand, are to include all
that portion of the State, east of the Alle
gheny mountains, and north of Philadel
phia, York, Lancaster, Chester and Bucks
counties.
The County Superintendents, in
their recent Convention at Harrisburg, re
commended the adoption of a law fixing
six months, instead of four, as the mini
mum term in the common schools of Penn
sylvania ; and, also, that the school direc
tors should be authorized to purchase school
books and apparatus at the expense of
their respective districts.
BgL. Raymond, the ''little villain" of the
New York 'limes, and member of the
House of Representatives, upon asking
pardon for his wigwam performances of
last summer, was admitted to the Repub

gress.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE UAGURATION
OF GOVERNOR GL^RY.
HARRISBURG, Dec 12.—The following ad
dress by the Central Club of the Boys in
Blue of Pennsylvania has just been issued
from their headquarters in this city to their
companions in arms throughout the State :
To the Boys in Blue of Pennsylvania :---
We, the undersigned committee appointed
by the Boys in Blue of Harrisburg, at a
special meeting held at their hall on Thurs
day evening, December 6, 1866, to consider
the expediency of haviug a grand display
of the Boys in Blue on the occasion of the
inauguration of the Governor elect, Major
General John W. Geary, would beg leave
to suggest thd propriety, and at the same
time extend to their brethren throughout
the State a cordial invitation to be present
on that occasion.
Shoulder to shoulder we fought the bat
tles of the Union on many a well contested
field, and when the conflict of arms was
over aud when we had returned to our
homes to enjoy the fruits of our victory,
under the leadership of General Geary,we
marched in solid column to the ballot box
and there thwarted the machinations of
those at home who would destroy those
glorious results which we strove sd hard to
bring about. It is, therefore, fitting, that
we assemble ourselves together at the
State capitol at the time above specified,
and ratify by our presence the political vic
tory we have lately won and make strong
er and brighter those links which bind us
together in the circle of a sacred compan
ionship. All those organizations of asso
ciations who may see fit and proper to at
tend on the occasion specified will please
correspond with the committee at ss early
a date as is convenient. L. S. HART.

NARROW ESCAIE OF JUDGE BREWSTER.—In
Philadelphia on Monday of last week, as
Judge F. Carroll Brewster was listening to
the arguments in a case of equity, he lean
ed forward for a moment to receive some
information from an officer of the court,
who stood in front of the bench. The move
ment saved his life, for instantly wjfchout
the slightest premonitory warning, a cir
cular iron ventilator, weighing some eighty
pounds, which occupied a position in the
ceiling directly above, fell with tremend
ous force upon the back of the chair, crush
ing it to pieces as though it were made of
the most brittle material. Not only the
back of the chair, but even the hindmost
legs were broken. Had it not been for his
momentary change of position this immense
weight would have fallen upon the Judge's
head, crushing it as it did the chair. Cer
tainly, a most miraculous escape.
EXTENSION OF THE CHENANGO OANAL.
The Chenango Canal, leading from Utiea
to Bqighamton, a distance of ninety seven
miles, has proved to be an unprofitable in
vestment for the State, so far as revenues
are concerned. The work was authorized
in 1833, and completed in 1836, at a cost
for construction of about two millions and
a half. The friends of the measure have
always urged that that the reason why the
Canal run the State in debt was, that its
Southern terminus failed to reach the mar
ket contemplated when the enterprise was
projected. It was claimed that if the Ca
nal should be extended to the Pennsylva
nia State line, so as to make a connection
v. ith Coal fields of that State by water,
tlio business of the route would not only
be largely increased, but that great bene
fits would accrue to the people of t
fii-m the consequent cheapening of the
price oi coal in all the markets accessible
by water communication
There statements were urged upon the
attention of the Legislature from time to
time, and in 1859 au appropriation was
made to defray the expense of a survey of
the proposed line. State Engineer RICH
MOND confided this task to Hon. 0. W
CHILLS, one of the ablest Engineers in the
country, and a gentleman entirely convers
ant with our Canal policy from long years
of patient study and service, and the re
sult of his labors was .communicated to
the Senate in 'IB6O. He estimated the cost
of the Extension at $829,000, and his re
port demonstrated to the Legislature that
the project was feasible, and that the ad
ditional tonnage the route would bring to
the Canals already in existence, would ren
der its construction desirable. These con
siderations, together with the lact that it
would tend to destroy the formation of
Coal monopolies by individuals or compa
nies, induced the State to authorize the
commencement of the work. *
Canal Commissioner WRIGHT favored the
work 011 the ground that the Chenango
Canal was in an unfinished Btate until it
was extended to reach the Coal mines, and
Commissioner BRUCE, his successor, has
been among its warmest advocates from
the start. The route laid down by Mr.
CHILDS was substantially adopted by State
Engineer TAYLOR, and an appropriation was
made for the commencement of the work.
The Extension is forty miles in length,
and runs along the south bank of the Sus
quehanna river from Binghamtou to the
Pennsylvania State line at Athens. At
that point a connection will be made with
the Xorth Branch Canal, a channel that
now leads into the heart of the Coal mines
of Pennsylvania. When the work is com
pleted boats may load at the mines, and
travel without transhipment to any point
now accessible by means of our admira
ble system of internal water communica
tion. About three-quarters of the work is
now under contract, and is being rapidly
pushed forward to completion. What re
mains to be done will probably be placed
under contract the present winter, and we
are informed by BYRON M. HANKS, Esq.,
tin; Resident Engineer in charge, that the
whole enterprise can be completed, and the
Canal open for business by the first of May,
1868.
The high prices of labor and material
will increase the original estimated cost
of the work. The sum of $850,000 has al
ready been appropriated,ssoo,ooo of which
has been expended.
Thus it will be seen, that while the State
of New York has contributed hundreds of
millions of dollars to the National Treas
ury, and has incurred an immense State
debt in aid of the War, she is at the same
time pushing forward her system of inter
nal improvements, and opening up new fa
cilities for the cheap transportation of the
staple articles of consumption.— Albany
