MCCU'RE, the editor of the Cham bersburg Repository, feels badly. In fact, he is utterly inconso'able. All his grief comes through the election of Gen CAMERON as United States Senator. lie is haunted by the spec tre oI corruption—he is overwhelmed by a nightmare of bribery. The re sult of that election seems to have had such an effect upon his vision, that he sees everything through the medium of greenbacks. If we beiiev ed he was in earnest in one-half he writes and publishes, we should have grave doubts of his sanity, and begiu to entertain fears that the editorial fraternity was to lose one of its most able and brilliant members. The readers of the Repository for some weeks past, have had displayed to them the " hideous cancer of legis lative corruption," in all its nasty loathsomeness. Political morality has all departed from the land—unblush ing venality—shaipoiess debauchery —open profligacy are the feeble terms employed to designate the pres ent state of public morals. For vir tuous indignation, lor holy horror, for scathing rebuke of all that is dishon est, commend us to the Repository ! The truth is that MCCLCRE has run the machine at flairisburg so long that he ea .not bear the idea of re signing the sceptre. If common ru mor is true, he has been the power behind the throne/' the brains of the Ci'RTIN regime. He started in the Sen atorial canvass, with the idea that it was to be an easy matter to write the Governor into the U. S. Senate. His disappointment is natural—but his attempt to blacken the reputation of every one that did not agree wiih him is inexcueable. That he knows as much as any man in the State of legislative corruption, we will admit, but we think it bad taste and worse policy to attempt to make the people of Pennsylvania believe that their legislators are utterly and awfully corrupt. We don't believe that the Legislature is any worse than when the editor of the Ryxutilory honored it with his presence. Now we happen to know that there are men throughout the State uu cliaritablc enough to believe that M- CU RE'S influence in the Executive chamber, has not been without its solid returns in the shape of a large fortune easily accumulated —but we have always c nsidered such rumors as the slanders of euvious and jeal ous minds. We must confess that his readiness to accuse every one else of bribery and corruption looks as if he had for some cause lost his confidence in public men. Never mind, 0, virtuous and irrreproacha ble editor of the Repository ! What if all the rest of the world goes as tray : at least we shall have you as a bright example of public morality towards which all men can turn their admiring gaze. „ The Scranton Republican and the Independent Republican, of Mont rose, join in their censure' of the members of the Legislature from the North, who voted for Gen. CAMERON in the caucus for U. S. Senator. The first-named paper, not being in this i Senatorial or Representative District, our members are not responsible to it, or its readers, and its comments savor of impertinence, as they may i he presumed to know as well the wishes of their constituents as the Scranton editor. The burden of the complaint made by the Montrose Republican is that "if the thirteen men on whom Mr. GROW relied had stood firmly by him, he would have been United States Senator to-day." Who these thir teen men arc, is uut stated, nor is the authority given, upon which Mr. GROW had reason to expect that they i would vote for hira regardless of con sequences to the other candidates. We do not believe that onr posi tion in regard to the election of I . t S Senator was capable of miscon ception In common with the people of this County, we desired the ( lec tion of Mr. GROW, if such a result was possible. But there is no dis puting the fact, that Gov. Cnrnx and Gen. CAMERON were allowed to take possession of the field Each rallied to his support* all bis adherents throughout the State, and each ex pressed the utmost confidence of ulti mate success. Nor is there any question but that Gen CAMERON was the choice of a large majority of the members of the Legislature, as be tween himself and Gov. CIRTIX. The election of Speaker of the House, showed this fact, clearly and unmis takably, and virtually settled the question as to who should be U. S. Senator. Previous to this election the frieuds of Gov. CIRTIN had claim ed sufficient strength to ensure his nomination upon the first ballot. The ! election of Speaker GI.ASS showed that their boasts were without the semblance of truth, and only made to inspirit the adherents of Gov. | CCRTIX. The truth was that about sixty of the eighty-three Republican members of the Legislature wcie friendly to the elejtion of Gen. CAM ERON, though some of them were ready to support other candidates with any reasonable probability of success. The election of Speaker demon stinted Gen CAMERON'S strength.— Previously the other candidates had not looked upon liis Election as with : in the bounds of possibility, suppos ing that Gov. (J PUTIN would lead him many votes. Then commenced the war to kill him ofl', led on by FORNEY, and participated in by the lival can didates. Of that crusade, it is suffi cient to say that it was unjustifiable, malignant and factious. The men concerned in it, had no regard to tne welfare of the Republican Party.—- Their only des re seemed to be t • so blacken the character of the man who had twice been a Senator from Pennsylvania, and a member of Lin coln's Cabinet, enjoying the full con fidence of that shrewd and good man, 'hat members of the Legislature would not dare to vote for him. The attempt was overdone, and recoiled upon the heads of the men engaged in it. Instead of detaching a single supporter of Gen. CAMERON'S, it con solidated his friends into a solid pha lanx, who determined that by their j votes they would endeavor to shield him from the malignant persecutions ! of his enemies. Those who complain because the j ' Northern members did not vote for ' Mr. GROW, will bear thiß iii mind : ' That at no time after the election of Speaker, was there a doubt but that! ' Gen. CAMERON would be nominated on ' the tirst ballot, and the factious and disorganizing attempts of his com petitors had determined all those not i unfriendly to him, to record theirl votes for him upon the first ballot as ' a measure of justice to him, and to S show that the party was nearly unan-! imous in his support. They were correct and wise in this action, in our judgment. To have voted for other candidates would not have changed the result, while it might have given encouragement to those who were disposed to " rule or ruin." The Legislature, when it came to gether, contained a clear majority friendly to Gen. CAMERON'S election. Should a small minority—even num- Oering thirteen—attempt to set aside the will of the majority and by per sistently voting for Mr. GROW, or any other candidate, prevent the election of the man who was so decidedly the choice of the people ? We think not. Such a procedure would be fraught with unquestionable danger, not to speak of the want of political moral ity. Mr. LAKDOK and Mr. KINNEY voted for Gen. CAMERON —Mr. WEBB voted for Mr. GROW. The votes of all these gentlemen, though given for rival candidates,are cordially sustained by the Republicans of Bradford. The people of this County have full confi dence in their Representatives, and •will not question the integrity of their motives. But while they ap prove of Mr. WEBB'S* vote for Mr. GROW they would not have sustained him in the factious course which the Republican seems to think should have been pursued. PROTKCTION Tl IIOMF. INDUSTRY. Gen. CAMERON, in his recent short but fitting speech, said : "The pau " per labor of Europe is again com " pcting with our labor, and our " manufactures languish for want of " protection against it. I'ennsylva " uia needs no assurance of my de " votiou to her interests in this re " gard, which is the interest of the " whole country. I will continue to " labor in season and out of season "to protect our manufacturers from " ruin, and their workmen from being " thrown out of employment, or their " wages reduced to starvation point. " For I hold that the true welfare of " any nation depends 011 the welfare "of its laboring classes." When Gen. CAMERON was in the Senate be fore, he labored efficietly in the cause of protection to our home industry ; and this was one reason why we fa vored his return to that body, in the present condition of public affairs There is danger, tha f in the all ab sorbing question of Re construction, uur Tariff on Imports may be regula ted by the wants of the public Trea sury. and not by the laboring inter ests of the country ; and with Gen CAMERON in the Senate, we feel satis fied that this unwise, nay ruinous policy of impost regulations, will be stoutly resisted. The democratic party, which of late years became subservient to the Free Trade emis saries of England, contended, and does still, that in taxing foreign im- I portations, revenue should be the i object, and protection the incident, | aud this was the death-knell to en j tcrprise aud industry in our country, ! whenever carried out. In James ' Buchanan's administration, during j which this pernicious principle of im j port adjustments prevailed, the cred j it of the country ran so low that the : public Treasury ran out of money and the financial head of the govern ! ment could not borrow at eight per j cent, to carry on the ordinary expen ; ses of the government. Yet so soon 1 as the Morrill Tariff Bill of the 2d of March 1861, became the law of the j . ; ; land, in which protection was recog nized as the object, aud revenue as the j incident ot imposts on foreign impor ' tations, the finances of the nation re vived, and it was through this, and the increase of our circulating medi um, which had rnn down to less than half the business requirements of the country, because enterprise, labor, and products had shrivelled down to Europeau standards, that we were enabled to borrow money by the thousand millions during the war, and still grow in material wealth un tier, it beyond all previous experience,] and it does seem .1 marvel to us, that in the face of such undeniable proof of the healthy i'Urltu rices of Protec tion to Home Industry, that any'one living amongst us, and not paid lor opposing iudi vidua I and national pros perity (as is the case with the Brit ish free-trade emissaries can fail to see where his duty tolas country and to himself lie. Why the Southern rebels now say, that, we owe our success over them, that is we were enabled to defeat them in the war, because they hi I regulated their so cial ami civil policy by free-trade i theories, and we had regulated ours by protection i tlm maiiomcturing interests. In Ids admirable Inaugu ral address, Governor GEARY says on this point,—Scarcely one of the " ambitious men who led th -ir unfor " titrate people into rebellion, but " now freely admits that if the South " had manufactured their own labries, " on their own plantations, and culti " vated skilled labor, in their great " cities, they would have been able "to prolong- their eonilict with the " government ; and now to enjoy sub " staiitial, instead of artificial pros " perity, they must invoke the very " ageneies they had so long and so "fatally disregarded. Words need " not be multiplied upon this iroport •' ant theine, cither to make my own " position stronger, or to impress up " ou the people the value of adhering " to a system which has proved it " self worthy of our continued sup " port, and of the imitation of its " former opponents." SEXATOR I, WDOVS SPF.ECH. We shall publish in our next issue Senator LAXDON'S speech in the Sen ate,on the Constitutional Amendment. It appears in the Harrisburg Tele graph with the following editorial an nouncement : " There are perhaps no more forci ble, eloquent and cogent orators and reasouers in the State of Pennsylva nia, than the Senator from the Brad ford district, George Landon. lit- is a host within himself—moves and is irresistible like a solid mass—be comes enthusiastic only in favor of the truth and justice—and is of that unselfish nature which renders him entirely disregardful of consequences when engaged in the cause of right. Senator Landon's speech on th e amendments, which we print to-day, | is the best illustration of his charac -1 teristics we could offer llis utter i ances prove the baldness of the man. He does not advance a single decla ration that is not supported by a well attested fact. His arguments are all logical. It is at once apparent in his reasoning, that he is conscientiously convinced he is right Landon never speal. tf for buncombe. What he says to day, he is ready to stand by to morrow—and what he proclaims from his seat in the Senate, he is ready to reiterate and uphold at home and else where. These are the men who rep resent the true integrity of our great party, and who are best fitted to rep resent the people in all places and on all occasions where their dearest in terests are involved. —We hope our readers will peruse Senator Landon's speech with the strictest care. He speaks for the Republican party, and wc want all Republicans to understand bow able an organ they have in the Senator from the Bradford district. " .from tjarrisbuvg. Special Correspondence of THE Braiuord REPORTER. Habbisbvbg, Pa.. Jan. 28, 1807. ' The Legislature was in session but three days last week, as there was but little busi ness ready to be acted on—the committees having not prepared sufficient to occupy the whole week—consequently there has not been any legislation worthy of mention in our correspondence. The consideration of the Consti-ntional Amendment consumed considerable time in both branches. Quite a number of lengthy speeches were made by long-winded Senators and Representatives, but in neither Ilousi has a vote been reached. Perhaps the most important matter to the public and before the Legislature is the bill offered in the Senate, the other day, to au thorize the State Treasurer to borrow 523- 000,000 in six per cent, bonds, payable in five, ten and fifteen years, with six per cent, interest. An act to authorize the sale of agricultural and land scrip donated to Pennsylvania by the United States, has been reported upon favorably by the Committee of Ways and Means in the House. A bill providing for the final adjournment of the Legislature on the 12th of March, has been presented in the Senate by Mr. WHITE. of Indiana. The "gift enterprise swindles have been carried to such an extent in mmy places, that an effort is being made to ba\ e a bill passed to prevent the newspapers of the Commonwealth from publishing advertise ments of such enterprises. In some instan ces these gift distributions have been con ducted fairly,but the country lias been flood ed with advertisements in the newspapers and otherwise from the eastern cities—enter prises entirely bogus in their character, and intended to swindle the unwary by inducing them to make remittances for which -an equivalent is never received. Anything that may be done to abate the evil to any extent, will be of benefit to the public. No doubt a law of the kind referred to will be passed ' before the close of the present session. COWAN, of the U. S. Senate has brought • down upon himself the censure of our Leg | islature, and the adoption of a resolution In the House, in regard to his course, has caus ed quite a commotion in the Copperhead ranks. They consider it humiliating to have ! one of their "great men" censured by the , Legislature, composed of representatives of > the same party (and in some instances of the , same men) who elected him to his seat in the Senate. It is gratifying to all good peo ple to know that the place now occupied by ' this political renegade will shortly bo filled ■ by a man who never proved false to his friends in any respect. Pennsylvania will | soon be represented by a man who is alive \ [o her interests, and who will labor for the j promotion of her welfare. Gov. GF.AJRY will in a few days occupy the j r Executive Mansion, which is now being ; 6 thoroughly r,-titted and renovated—S-1.000 t having been appropriated for that purpose. 8 .V rumor recently set afloat by a Copper- 1 head paper at Lancaster, has been going the j I rounds-of the journals of the State, in which t it was stated that lion. ANDREW G. CrtvriN i had purchased a mansion in Lancaster, and 1 f would soon make that city his place of re si- I dence. There is not a word of truth in the j t rumor referred to. Your correspondent has j 1 the best authority for asserting that the late | r Governor will return to his old home in Bell- 1 fonte. and there resume the practice of the ! ' law, after returning from Europe, to which ; 1 country he is about going for the benefit of ' his health, and in which journey he will be j j accompanied by his family. A murder has been committed in our i ( midst, in which the murderer and his victim i ] were colored men. They, in company with a number of others, started from Harris- ' burg, the other evening, on a pleasure ex- I ' eursion, taking with them a demijohn filled j j with whisky. I'pon arriving at a country j tavern, a short distance from here, the men ' got into a difficulty, which resulted in one i ' of them stabbing the other severely in the ! ' abdomen, from the effects of which death I ensued within twenty-four hours. The mnr- j 1 derer, named Jacob Jones, has been arrest- i , ed. and committed to answer at Court. His i victim's name was Benjamin Moore, who leaves a wife and several children, in almost | destitute circumstances. The men were good i friends up to the time of their arrival at the J tavern referred to, and their quarrel and the j . murder are solely attributable to the liquor i of which they imbibed too freely. Is not the i ( pi iticipul in the affair the man ol' whom the ' whisky was purchased? The House Committee to whom the mat ter was referred has reported favorably on ' an act repealing provisions of an act relative to the fees of District Attorney in the Com monwealth, so far as they relate to the Coun ty of Bradford. Passed finally. Also an act to increase the fees ot county officers in Sullivan county. Also, a bill extending the provisions of an ' act to change the mode of criminal proceed ings in Erie and Virion conn tics, to Brad ford. Passed finally. Also, an act authorizing the borough of ' Troy to increase the taxation for borough ' purposes. Mr. KENNEDY, of the Wyoming district, ! has introduced a bill for the better protec- ! tion of ministers of the gospel in their uffi- . cml duties in solemnizing marriages. This , bill is calculated to relieve clergymen from the penalties incurred by clergymen in ca- : ses where the marriage of minors occurs | through false representations on the part of the applicants for the performance of the marriage rite. It will probably pass at an j early day. A petition from citizens of Wyoming, ask- j ing for a bridge over the Lackawana at J Tunkhannock, has been presented in the . Senate. by MI. LONDON. Tie- Stati Agricultural Society advertizes ; for proposals for the location of its annual fair, to be held in September next.

Mr Ramsey t introduced a bill to amend the Postal Laws in reference to money orders, regulating the prices to be charged , therefor, establishing penalties for £ forging the same, &c. Mr. Wilson introduced a bill providing for 'he establishment of the "Howard Uni- - versity" in tbe District of Columbia. The Test Oath Rill, which caused such a lively struggle in the House ou Tuesday night, was received and referred to the Judiciary Committee. The Tariff Bill came up for discuss ion, and several amendments were offered by Mr. Sprague. Mr. Sher man, Mr. Fesstnden, and others par ticipated in the debate, but no defi ■ nite action was taken upon the bill. In the House yesterday, the sees- j ion having been continued through out Tuesday night, a r< cess was tak en from 8 o'clock until 11. The bill before it was the one introduced by Mr. Buutwell, prescribing a test oath for attorneys and cosnsellors practic ing before the United States Courts. At 11 o'clock the debate was renew ed, one hour having been granted for discussion. At the end of that time the bill passed- yeas 109, nays 42. A number of reports from Committees were then received,after which forty five members who were absent dur ing the call of the House ou the pre vious evening, were arraigned a£ the bar to answer for their contempt. Some of them were fined $2 each, others $4, and others were discharg el. Mr. Boutwell reported a bill j from the Judiciary providing for the Presidential succession in case of the death of the President. The House I went into Committee of the Whole, ! considered the Post-office Appropria- { tion Bill, and reported it to the House Friday, Jan. '25. . In the Senate, Mr. Williams re ported a bill from the Finance Com- 1 mittee, providing for an increase of tbe salaries of certain civil employ ees of the Government, which adds j twenty per cent, to the pay of all ' such employed in Washington, whose | | salaries are less than $3,500 per an- j num. The House bill amendatory of the Habeas f'orj,u .s Act was taken up 1 and passed. A bill providing for the : sending of Commissioners to the!

Sev- j , era! other amendments were offered, ; some of which were adopted and i others rejected. In the House the Senate joint reso lution appropriating SIOO,OOO for the removal of the wreck of the steam ship Gotland on the bar at Sandy Hook was taken up and passed.

Kelley, Raymond, Maynard and others. A substitute was finally adopted in structing the Secretary of War to accept the IdoJio at the price already paid $550,000. A resolution censur ing Mr. Cooper for having, during the debate <n Thursday, given the he to Mr. Kelley, was offered by Mr. Broomall, but subsequently, after i discussion, withdrawn.

PASSAGE OK THE TE.STRE OK OKKICE BILL BV THE UNITED STATES SENATE.— i The United States Senate, on Friday, i by a vote of twenty-nine to nine, ! passed the Tenure of Office bill, a measure which deprives tbe Presi ; dent of. the power to appoint or re move any officers except the mem bers of his Cabiuet, without the ad ! vice and consent of the Senate, and ! effectually prevents removals and ap pointments during the recess of Con gress, except in certain specified eases; and in such subjects them to the action of the Senate within twenty days after its reassembling. Prior to tbe passage of the bill Sen ator Sumner closely reviewed the prescriptive course of Mr. Johnson, in which he accused him of having i usurped the powers of Congress on a colossal 6cale, and of employing these usurped powers in fomenting a rebel spirit and re-kindling the fires of rebellion. This measure of re | striding the power of the President to remove and appoint men to office, j merely to gratify his private spite, I gives general satisfaction. It is ac 1 j cepted as a movifmeut towards a still more important measure, where by Andrew Johnson is to be taught , | that there is authority delegated by the Constitution to Congress, which the President dare not disregard. te?"lu the United States Supreme Court it lias been decided that neith i era liceuse to sell liquor under the act of Congress of 1864,n0r a special j tax under the act of 1866, confers up on the party licensed, or who pays r the tax. authority to carry on the ' busiuess contrary to the laws of the State. ' —The bill changing the time for thq. meeting of Congress has been signed 1 by the President. m New 3.t>orrtißfmrnts. gELLING OFF AT < 0.-T 1 HENRY ME HOUR a ' Having concluded to clone tin 1; •,*, . offer their entire stock of DRY GOODS, HARDWARE, UKOGKEKY.Ac AT COST 1 The assortment good, and well worthy the at t ution ot purcha fern.
