TUE SEIVATOUSIIi P.
It seems to .be settled at Harrisburg that
non. John Scott, of Huntingdon county, is
to be the successor of Mr. Buckalew in the
United States. Senate. While regretting that
Mr. Grow, ex-Governor Curtin, Gen. Muor
head androther excellent men have been laid
aside; we have great satisfaction' in being
able to assure our readers that Mr. Scott is a
gentleman of fine ability and sterling integ
tity,who will really be a worthy representative
crthis great State in the Senate. He has not
been much In public life,because his practice
at the bar required all his attention. But in
the Legislature and in the political arena he
has displayed the finest oratorical powers.
His Republicanism is of the purest type, and
of his talents, independence and honesty
there can be no question. If be is to be the
new Senator, the people of Pennsylvania will
have reason to be proud of him 'as their re
preSeutative.
rsz GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
Governor Gtary's Anneal Message was
presented to the Legislature this morning,and
will befound in another part of to-day's
BULLETIN. The document is a very interest,-
log one. The finances of the State are shown
to be in an excellent condition, the State debt
having been reduced, during the last two
years and three months, by the large amount
of $4,299,886 14. The present amount of
the public debt is $83,286,946 18.
The Governor renews his recommendation
of better provisions for the safe keeping of
the money of the Commonwealth, of wnich
there is, at times, a large accumulation. He
also urges the ex tingnishment of the debt at
the earliest possible period. The early con
sideration of the annual appropriations is
asked for.
The educational affairs of the State are re
ported to be in a highly satisfactory condi
tion. 800,515 pupils are in the C3mmon
Schools, at a total cost for tuition, building,
and contingent expenses of $6,200,537 96.
An increase in the scanty pay of the teachers
is recommended, and attention is called to
the fact that 75,000 persons between the
ages of six and twenty-one do not attend any
schools.
The Soldiers' Orphan Schools are in good
and improving condition and their usefulness
becoming daily more manifest. The Gov
ernor refers to them with just pride,as reflect
ing high honor on the patriotism of the State.
5.431 soldiers' orphans are in the schools, at
an average semi-annual cost of 110;9 O. The
fiscal year of the schools does not end until
May, 1869, and the statement therefore covers
but six months.
The message gives an interesting account
of the Agricultural College, and also of the
Military Affairs of the State. The subject of
a good Registry Law is urged upon the care
ful attention of the Legislature. An Insu
rance Department is recommended, similar
to that in successful operation in other
states.
The Governor discusses the question o
pardons, and justifies the grounds upon
which, pardons have been granted,•vhile fully
recognizing the difficulties and embarrass•
menu of a proper exercise of Executive cle
mency. He asks for special authority to c
mute the death sentences of Edward Ford,
sentenced May 12, 1851; Jerry Dixon, May
30, 1863; Patrick Finnegan, February 0,
1863; Newton Champion, December 1, 1866,
and Alfred Alexander and Heater Vaughan,
July 3, 1868. We trust that this power will
be promptly granted to the Governor, who is
so evidently anxious to temper a strict exer
cise of justice with a proper admixture of
mercy.
The whole Message indicates a highly pros
perous condition of the State. It concludes
with a graceful allusion to the election of
General Grant, and those bright prospects of
peace which are opening for the South, by
the abolition of the curse of slavery, and the
acceptance of the situation resulting from the
end of the rebellion. The Governor recog
nizes that both Pennsylvania and the Union
have declared in favor of an honest payment
of the national debt, adoording to the letter
and spirit of the agreement; of
ample protection to home industry,
and of the other cardinal doctrines enunci
ated in the Republican platform. The Gov
ernor closes with a reminder to the Legisla
tore that one of their chief objects must be to
exercise a rigid economy in expenditures sod
to seek to lessen the burdens of the people.
'he whole document is a valuable and inter
citing one, and its elggestions will undoubt
edly receive, as they deserve, the prompt and
favorable consideration of the Legislature.
WISE TAVIreIIEILL CAAE.
The more we consider the facts connected
with the conviction of George S. Twitchea
elite murder of his mother-in-law, m xd ,
Rill, the more we must be impressed with
the precarious nature of our criminal pro
Ift7wWil
_

for a _much More ,therouglt , system fur, the
investigation,' -detection laiti - ptinithmtmt of.
clime. Did not the, factastare the 'Commu
nity in the face, it wotild be extremely daft.'
cult to realize the loose and careless. manner
in which the first steps . were ',takenl_brthe
officers of the law. Although a, bloody emir
der had been committed almost - beflire their
eyes, and the man who bas been proved to
be the murderer was taken. literally red
barided on the spot where the murderous
deed wakdone; the authorities seem to have
acted with as much confusion of ideas, as if
Mrs. Hill had been the first victim who had
ever been thus killed in cold blood, or as if it
was not of the slightest consequence whether
the criminal was detected and punished
or not.
We have already alluded to the want of
more particular instructions to the police
force generally, that they may be prepared to
act promptly, wisely and efficiently in such
emergencies. But it seems to be of equal
importance that much higher officers than
policemen should be taught their duties too.
We have not heard what excuse the Coroner
has to offer for his extraordinary conduct in
turning over the premises where the Hill
murder was committed to the custody of the
Twitchells and their counsel. It is very dif
ficult to imagine any theory of official duty
which could justify such a proceeding. For
three days, we are told, this house, with all
the evidences of guilt which it contained, was
n the. sole possession of those who were vi
tally intereptedin destroying these evidences.
What was done during those throe days wilt
probably never be known. It is hardly
ci edible that nothing was done to relieve the
suspected persons of some portion of the load
of proof that was weighing upon them. We
have no desire to pia judge Mrs. TQV'itchell.
Nothing has been shown, so far as we snow,
to connect her with her husband's dreadful
crime. But if she is tried and acquitted,who
is to remove from the public mind the suspi
cion that perhaps during those three pre
cious days the tokens of her guilt may have
been done away ?
But wbile the Coroner has committed, to
say the very least, a very grave fault in this
matter, the other officers of the Common
wealth are by no means free from blame.
Why did the Mallet-Attorney permit those
three days to pass by, with their momentous
possibilities, before he applied for and ob
tained entrance to the house? His tardiness
was an offer to the accused and their friends
to make the most of their time. He knew,
or ought to have knots', of what vital im
portance it was that the Commonwealth
should be possessed of every possible evi
dente; and yet the neglect of the District-
Attorney to secure that evidence at the out
set was as marked and as culpable as was the
conduct of the Coroner in furnishing the ac
cused such ample time and opportunity to
destroy or remove it. That Mr. Bheppard
afterward conducted the case with diligence
and greatibility, does not alter the fact that
hie dilatoriness in the first place might easily
have resulted in the complete failure of the
prosecution.
Taking this case altogether, it is very cer
tain that, while it is full of practical dug
gestions of greatly-needed reforms in our po
lice administration and in important depart
ments of our criminal jurisprudence,it should
not be classed among the causes ceUbres of
the American courts. The case itself is
dreadful enough to win a wide notoriety ; but
the illustrations that it has afforded of
slovenly management in some particulars,
and of very questionable cleverness in others,
do not make it anything to boast of.
/ND BALVIITIORE.
Tne Bnitireore Sun is a rebel sheet that
objects to Philadelphia for two reasons—first,
because it is vastly larger than Baltimore;
second, because it was loyal during the war.
The Sun, consequently, finds much pleasure
in selecting ugly items from our pulice re
nor. s, wherewith to illustrate its theory that
Puilf,debillaia is a den of wickedness, and that
our people are given over to all manner of
evil doing. Taking from our Coro
per's report the fact that 133 suicides,
infanticides and homicides were com
mitted in this city during the past
ear, it assumes that this is a greater number
of murders than even England can ba charged
ith in the same period of time. As the Sun
gives no statistics of of Englisn crime, and as
we have none, it is Quite impossible to verify
ur mlute this statement. I:s untrutbfalness,
however, is nearly absolutely certain. We
admit, however, that the number is un
pleasantly large; but crime is an inevitable
consequence of an immense population, and
of vicinity to a ci y like Baltimore, infamous
all the world over for its breed of ruffians.
Perhaps our catalogue of murders would be
smaller if Mr. Wallace, in his eagerness to
carry this city for the Democracy last Octo
her, had not brought so many colonizers here
from Baltimore. The result of the inter
ference of these men in our city affairs, we
may add, by causing an entire change in our
police force, is not likely to make crime any
less frequent.
But while we have been powerless to pre
vent the commission of these bloody deeds, we
have done all that we could to punish the
perpetrators. Can Baltimore claim as much?
When Mr. Lincoln's life was openly threat
ened, so that he was obliged to pass through
that city in disguise, did not Marshal Dane's
police bead , the conspirators? Oa the 19th of
April, 1861, when United States soldiers, fed
as they passed through this city, were shot
down in the streets of Baltimore, did the an
thoritiee interfere to preserve the peace, and
were any of the rioters punished? If such
was the case, the facts have been kept too
private for the good name of the city. Last
fall, when a train, containing government
clerks going home to vote, was mobbed by a
gang of ruffians, were any arrests made, and
was any one of the participants in the outrage
tried for the crime? On the contrary,
the rebel papers first denied the
truth, and afterwards extenuated the out
lawry, as they bad done oftentimes befire
when deeds of the same character were per
petrated. These are but two or three of the
great crimes which have given Baltimore a
bad reputation. Of its lesser sins there is no
accessible account; But the only material
reason why its lawlessness cannot be reduced
to figures, is that the authorities are not trate
as careful as we are to visit punishment upm
the heads of the sinners. Political murders
tire applauded, not avenged; and the political
ey mpatby of the city government with the
••plug uglier" and other pleasant gangs of
outlaws, makes junto /4f/o often a farce. It
gi)l=
will bevell for the Baltimore - papers to . say
little upon the subject •of the wickedness of
their neighlidri. Many ilia in-a, crystal palace,
and pebble-dinging is, extremel y injadieloug.

profession." We are informed also that "a
graceful and splendid Orbicular Score" will
give "a thrilling picture of dazzling sights
and shades," at the same time exhibiting "the
sports and pastimes of the Orientals; or the
children of the Sun." This is sufficiently
gorgeouti and wonderful, and we are ready to
receive with childlike faith the assurance that
one view of it "will clean the cob-webs from
the brain, and dispel the spleen - , and rob 3 the
visitors in the mantle of happiness." Bit

A gentleman named Kelly declares that "he
challenges the world for the sum of ten thou
sand dollars to produce his equal in leaping
over the same number of horses." Whether
the eye of mortal man has ever gazed on
Kelly as he executed this amazing jump, we
do not know; but if he can do it, his title is
clear to the championship. It has not been
beaten since Baron Munchausen, and we con
sider it perfectly safe to assume that Mr.
Kelly can bounce around among his associ
ate "Circusolites" with the calm assurance
that he will never have a rival.

The snow is quite contrary,
This month of Jam:tory,
And it won't come down.
We wonder what's the reason
This present winter season,
We've no snow in town.
And it seems such funny weather,
130 curious, altogether,

The chilly, damp winds blowing,
Whichever way 3 mire going,
Along the street.
And it's just the weather now, sirs,
You need thick coats and trowsers
And now's the time to call;
For the clothing all so nice is,
And so wondrous low the prices
At the GREAT BROWN HALL!
We haven't bad enough snow yet, to make a

the snow is so slow in coming down here, the

Hanstentma, Jan. -6, -1869.—The Senatorial
fight changed considerably In its appearance last
night. Yesterday afternoon the contest stood
between General J..K. Moorhead and John Scotts
Esq.. of Huntiugdon, with the chances decidedly
in favor of the former. Soon, however, it was:ru
mored that Gen. Cameron had expressed his desire'
to have Mr. Scott elected,and it was subsequently
ascertained that he would use all his influence
and power to elect film. As Mr. Clark, the new
Speaker, was Mr. Canieren'a candidate. he, of
course, is a most valuable accessory, having the
selection of all of the committees and the
oPportunity to arrange them so as to get votes
for any man Cameron might choose for Senator.
Another great difficulty that 'General Moorhead
encountered was the'divisibn of the Allegheny Co.
delegation, half of whom were for T. M. Marshall.
Had they all been for Moorhead his chances
would have been vastly improved. This morn
ing Moorhead's friends are convinced that they'
have no possibility of success, and will retire
from the field, much to the regret of the numer
ous admirers of the Congressman.

Elsumsnuno,Jan.e-The United States Senatorial
qutstion as decided and with it the State Treasur
eriblp. Reporters ore rejoiced that they have
reached boticm at last,tbongh they are chagrined
to tlnd out only this niorning what they might
have known a week or two ago, if they had had
the cps (Went* of tbe managers. The Republi
cans of both Houses will meet in caucus this
afternoon, at 3 o'clock. Out of this caucus John
Scott, of Huntingdon, will come victorious. In
deed, it is doubtful if anybody else will go into
the meeting with two votes.
This morning the political world was greeted
with three' astounding disclosures: First, That
J. K Moorhead bad withdrawn, and second, that
in consideration of this withdrawal, and for the
preservation of harmony and good feeling in the
party, Thomas M. Marshall had done likewise.
These withdrawals were induced by great pres
sure brought to bear upon the troublesome can
didates from Allegheny, neither of whom pos
sessed enough votes to fight anybody else, and
neither of whom would yield to the other, each
possessing one-half of the Allegheny delegation
of eight. But the combined influence of both at
borne pad abroad was auflielent to divide the
Mena. As it is, there will be great unanimity.,
The second astounding disclosure thistmomlng
was the withdrawal of Gen. W. W. Irwin from
the State Treasurership. This was also done at
an early hour to-Jay, and Robert Mackey, cashier
of the Allegheny National Bank of Pittsburgh.
will doubtless be the nominee of the caucus this
afternoon. Ho la the only candidate who has
been opposing Irwin, and was not supposed
twit last night to have - developed much strength.

complement of officers. The Republican caucus
only completed its slate last night, The act
passed last session confines the House to thirty
font officers, but members hare been pressed by
their constituents to such en extent that they
resolved last night to put in nearly the nasal
number of subordinates, leaving them to wait
their pay titian act may be passed compensating
them.
fVorravandence of the Amodated Pram)
BAEILIbIIbIiG, Jan. 6.—lt is apparent this
morning that John Scott, of Huntingdon, wil
be the next U. S Senator. A caucus of Repub
Bean members of the Legislature will meet at
three o'clock this afternoon, at which he will be
nominated. The State Treasurer question is also
settled. The present official, General W. W•
Irwin will withdraw before the caucus, and R.
W. Mackey, of Allegheny, will probably be cho
sen. The Influence of Simon Cameron is under
stood to be favorable to Scott and Mackey.

master and moral assent of the slave, from the
umment of freedom, although dormant during
slavery, and produces all the effects which result
from such contract among free persons.

Destruction of Valuable Dias erne
Boobs, Charters, and flocords.
The Herald of this morning says:
Fifteen minutes past 6 o'clock last evening a
fire was (Recovered in the unoccupied basement
of the three-) tory brick building No. 432 Broome
street. It extended to the first floor, occupied
by the Masonic Publishing Company, and in the
short time It was burning made sad havoc
with the valuable stock, of books the com
pany had on bend. Many of the volumes
burned were valued at twenty-five dollars
each, and with those damaged by water the loss
In this particular is estimated at 02.000, which is
fully covered by insurance. The rear office of
this floor is occupied by Mr. Daniel Sickles,
Grand Secretary General of the Supreme Grand
Council A. A. S. It , of the Masonic fra
ternity. This room contained all the
records, charters and correspondence of the
Council, which were invaluable. They
Vero mostly _destroyed by fire, and _what
were not repdered useless in this manner were so
saturated with water as to matte their destruction
complete. The second floor, Is occupied by B.
W. E. Bcckner, publisher, and Francis FlckeY,
pocketbook manufacturer; whose respe.ctive
losPes by water will , amount , to fifty dollars
and twenty-five dollars; 'theee Occupants are in
sured. The building, owned" by Mews. Smith
& Rice, is damaged about efitiO, but whether
insured , or not could not:be ascertained. Offi
cer Bust, of the Fourteenth precinct, and Mr. J.
G. Welle;auperintendert of the Masonic Publish
ing Company, discovt red the fire. To Ahem its
()Agin appeared: tuyaterious, as the Water-closet
in which it was first seen has not, been used by
havein the building for some time past. They
have made'repeated aortal() keep it closed, but
strangers have torn away the fastenings scores of
times and used it as a public accommodation.
Whether tho fire was kindled by.some incendiary
wretch or was accidental 'can only be surmised.

FROM NEW YORK.
Nan , YORK, Jan. 6.—The cause of the digits
Irons explosion in New York Bay off Sandy Hook
is still involved in mystery, arffiough it is gene
rally presumed by theorists that the concussion
of the submerged charge occasioned the bursting
cf the. torpedo in the boat, both being nearly sim
ultaneous- The officers of the Neptune Sub
marine Company, under whose directions the
wrecking operations were being conducted, do
not consider Captain Churchill in any way re
sponsible for the calamity; and his having for
feited his life is regarded as sufficient to
exonerate him from all blame. The Company
have bed Several nien•at work removing the hulk
of the foundered ship Scotland for the last two
months, and doting that time they used a large
number of torpedoes with satisfactory result.
Their task was almost completed when the acci
dent occurred. To-morrow the funeral of three
of the victims will be solemnized at their respec
tive residences in this city. The body of Captain
Mihail L. Churchill, the fourth victim, was not
recover( d.
orge Francis Train, under the auspices of
the Fenian Brotherhood of this city, delivered a
very It ngthy addre&s in the Cooper Institute, last
eve Ling, on the subject of his own and Ireland's
%arenas. Mr. Train recounted his sufferings and
his battlings with the constituted anthoriLlespf
Great Britain during hie late visit to Ireland.
Be afsnrrd his anditorghe would be the President
of the United States in 1872.
The inquest In the Regera murder was com

?he Mysterious beano In Washington
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—ln the, case of the co
lored men foetid dead at the French Minister's
residence yesterday, the Coroner's jury, which
met at noon to-day, was adjoarned fora week,
in order to enable the chemist to make a
thoronah analysis of the contents of their
stomachs.
Messrs. Morrill (Vt.) and Doolittle opposed
the bill, and on motion of Mr. Sherman its,con
sideration was postponed, and the Senate took
up his bill to promote commerce between the
States and the Air Line Railroad bill, which was
read at length.
jr. Sherman said that the committee had not
thought It necessary to make a written report In
favor of this bill, because a member Of the house
from Illinois, Mr. Washburn°, bad already wide
a report on the autlret, discussing very carefully
the legal questions involved. The bill, ho said,
proposed to charter three railroads, ono from
Washington to New York; one from Washing.
ton to Pittsburgh, and one from Washing
ton to Cincinnati. The questions to be
considered in connection with this bill were, first,
the necessity for such new roads; and second, the
extent of the power of Congress over existing
railroads end to authorize the question, :
of
new roads. In regard to the first question,„ it was
a remarkalle fact that the only access from the
North, East or West to the National Capital
is by one railroad,a branch of the,. Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, a Maryland " cOrPoration. No
other town in the country of the size,
or near the size of Washington,
was withorit competing lines, and this
was all the more remarkable when it was remem
bered that Washington was the capital of a na
tion of 86,000,00 Q people, and the seal of all the
groat eenartments of the General Government.
