Towaiida, Thursday, Jan. 31,1867.
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. "

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 .

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!
Paris Exposition, and the emploj'- j
ment of clerks and scientific men to
accompany them, was reported from j
1 the Committee on Foreign Affairs. It
appropriates s*B,ooo fur the purpos
es named in it. The Tariff Bill was
taken up. An amendment favoring
the coal mining interest was discuss
|id by Messrs Fessenden, Creswell,
and Johnson, and was adopted. 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.
The Senate joint resolution for the
relief of Paul S. Forbes, who built
and furnished the sloop-of-war Idaho,
gave rise to considerable discussion,
participated in by Messrs. 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. Bills grant-1
ing pensions of SSOO each per anum
to John Gray, aged 103 years, and
Daniel Frederick Bakeman, aged 107
years, both Revolutionary soldiers of
| Ohio, were passi d. The Senate bill
for the relief of Josiah 0. Ames, ap
propriating $9,500 in payment for
property burned by our forces at Au
uandale, Va., during the war, gave
rise to a lengthy debate, it being at
variance with a resolution previous
ly adopted by the House. Mr. Mor
rill stated that if the bill passed it
i would establish a precedent for the
allowance of war claims to the
amount of at least $2,000,000,000.
The bill passed by a vote of 99 yeas
to 27 nays.
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
