The Democracy is s&hard put to it tnget up
any opposition to Governor -Geary that it has
been enough to assail hint feor an hn
proper Ilse of the pardoning power. It would
be difficult to select any feature of Governor
Gcm'y'S administration, More , entitled to: the
approbation of the people dian his exercise of
his pardoning.prerOgative, and the cause must,
be desperate indeed that has recourse to attacks
upon a position as invulnerable as is Governor
Geary's on this point. His reeprd is bright and
dear, and,lds'public services in this:connection
deserve Csiae.clal praise.
• 'The credit - of - putting, a stopto the wholesale'
ilispensation grown up
in the form of the remission of sentences by
the Criminal. Courts of Philadelphia belongs
entirely to the administration of, Governor
Geary. This power of remission claimed by
our Criminal Courtswas challenged and
,`con
tested, carried to the B.npreme Court by the
Attorney-General and decided tit) be unconsti
tutional
The, pardoning power was thus apin re
stricted . Vilithiri the centrel of the Governor,
and' so , far from atonsimg . It,' one of his
earliest acts was to proVide a well-digested rule
of procedure In all cases otapplications for
dens, by w hich 'secret appears Tor par do are
prohibited, and all parties concerned are
forded . an opportunity of ,being heard. The;
detailed anntud report of the ; pardons grantea
showed, that Governor - Gbat'y has con-.
scientiOusly Carried ont the ProViSions,
d his'own rule. The history of each pardon,
with, the names of those recommending it, and
the reasons on Which it is based, Is published,
and very few persons will be disposed to deny,
after an examination of these, reports, that'
while there has been apropenconsideratinn of
the dietates of. mercy, therehas been a dice re
gard,to the public welfare as well as. to ;the
rights Of the condemned.' ,
Governor Geary has granted fewer pardons
than almost, any Governor who has ever occu
pied-the Execntive chair, \while he has cut off
the exercise of the pardoning-Tower from the
Criminal Courts. During .1867, notwithstand
ing the,greatpressive brought to bear on thim,
only fifty-picro' pardons were granted in all.
In 1868, one hundred and six pardons' were
granteA, and in the present year the number
has reached only forty. Thus the.whole list of
pardons granted during Governor GearYt's ad
ministration - amounts to the-small number of
198, or' an average of one (for each County in
the State per. annum. ,Of this small number
a very considerable proportion were the cases
of electimi oflicera convicted by Petriocratic,
juries:ter • rethsing to receive the votes of de
serters, and hi every case
. pardon was granted
on the application of responsible citizens or the
representation of facts fully justifying Exec*,
tive interposition.
Governor Geary has on various 'occasions;
displayed a firmness in resisting the pressnre
of applicants for pardons, worthy of all praise. -
The cases of Hester Vaughn, Gerald Eaton
and George S.
,Twiteltellmo flesh in the public
mind The impudent interference of a party
of feeble-minded:llnd ignmant philanthropists
in New York; in the case of ...Hester Vaughn,
was met-with a ; dignified tetnikefrom-Governor
Geary .who sent back the =Cooper Institute
emissaries, with the polite , assurance that
Pennsylvania was fitly competent to admin
ister both mettcy and justio,e •withont the aid of
the "strong-mirided" women „ef 'New 'York.
The—tremendous—and--persistent--efforts--in-
behalf of Eaton' and ,-TWitchell are
well remembered. • Governor Geary was
not only beset by all Sorts of iperBOrial impor-.
tunitiesiinthe case of - these two:murderer:% -
but.ahill was actually got:through- -the Legis
lature _lfavingfor its object their release. __Gov
ernor Geary vetoed the bill, and the Legisla
ture respected his objections; and :he resisted
the many-sided pressure of personal applica
tion, steadily refusing to extend Executive
clemency where it, was not *deserved, or de
manded by any 'considerations or publiC
Governor Geary haS done the State eminent
service in his exercise of the pardoning power,
and fOr this alone he deserves - the, hearty Sup
port of the people. It is a power soallnicult in
its just exercise that it is almost impossible that
no mistakes should ever be Made In it. :But
that it has been prudently; honestly, moder
ately and very firmly used by Governor Geary*
is abundantly proved by the whole history of
his administration.
THE SPANISH ItIEIGN OF TELROtt.
The condition of of in Spain is anything
but, gratifying to those who hoped that the
overthiv of Isabella and the establisbment of
constitutional liberty would be followed by an
.earnest, united effort on the part of the
',-Spaniards to place theS'r country side by side
with its sister nations in the race of civilization.
, But instead of witnessing harmonimis progress,
we find the unhappy laud torn with the strife
of contending factions, and the prey of lawless
ness and'anarchy. The Carlist conspiracy,
from its national character.and the hnportance
of ifs possible results, for a while distracted at
tention from the minor evils with which Spain
is afflicted, but-.now:that. this movement 'has
becmcruslied with a cruel but weak band, we
hear .cf assassinations and robberies; of or
ganized bands of outlaws, .svlio despoil the
cities,and towns without feariof punishment;
of gross outrages against .the civil laws, per
yetrated In the very strongholds' of authority;
,djsc.qutent and threatened rebellion in 'some

It was a 'MSC' ihatAnapelled the
Spanish leaders to discardthe idea of establish
ing a Repoblic,, Republican Spain would have
returned to the gloorideit, dePths'of absokitisin,
in a - year.' 'Even
5 a `liberal inimarchy • was a •
dangerous e x periment• with the most laggard
race hr' Europe. 'BM this , 'might have sue
deeded if a sagacious and temperate ruler,.
true to the„power that ,elevated him, had been
placed upon the throne. The Regency is`not,
a sufficient substitute for the - monarchy. It
does not !command popular, respett, and, , its
operations are crippled by the knowhidge that
it is. ,but a temporary expedient, and by the
jealausies and rivalries . of its' (*poems, who
fear the ambition of its members. The only
reasonable hope of the Spanish people snow, is
in the speedy selection of a king; who will fill
his high office with dignity and ability. None
of the old candidates----Ferdiriand,lontpensier,
...losta and the rest, are available. It Must be
i strong man—not a mere royal lay figure; a,
-man-whobas princely-birth, reputation,-to-win_
initiatory respect, intellect to master the per
plexed and difficult situation, and broad,
liberal views which will conform to the new
Constitution and compel Spain to conform,
to it.
But one Man has been mentioned recently
who seems at all capable of meeting these :re
quirements. it is said that General Prini• and
some other of the, Spanish leaders 'have 'deter- .
Mined to :nominate Prince Napoleon , to the
tbrone, and to press hininpon the SpaniSh peo
pie. The Prince prefesse.s to be ,an extreme
liberalist, and; if the record Of, hislife, is to he
accepted as trustworthy evidence, he is abetter
democrat than any member of. any royal,
fitmily.in Europe. If he shotild TadeepttlM
kingship of Spain, and remain true to his prin.
ciples,he - cVnuld be the very best man for .the
`ftlace thatfould be selected. He has ability
and force enough to make Spain a great :It
.tion, Withotit .doing - violence to, hey newly-
adopted free institutions; and he is so 'widely
at .varkince. the Emperor. Of . the
French, that, there / wou'd be no danger of
the latter acquiring dangerOus influence
ever Spanish affitirs. The difficulty is, that
Prince Napoleon's democracy might not be
able to withstand the temptation which would
offer itself when the opportunity came to seize
absolute power. Ahin in his position nearly
always are liberal, 'nit they nearly always be
come ' devout believers in the Divine right
when they mount to power. Louis ,Napoleon
professed liberality until the time came to
seize the crown. But there "is thiti safeguard
that the universal ten ency at this time is
toward freedom, and a king, even of Spain,
would be less likely now than ever to find the
people willing• , to submit to usurpation. - At
any rate, Prince Napoleon is the best man yet
nominated for the 'position, and it will be
Worth while to try him as an experiMent.
Even: a littW whulesome despotism will be
better for Spain than the anarchy which, now
prevails.
AN ABUSED errin.
Some erroneous notions concerning, the pre
sent condition of Atlantic, City" have become
popular in this community, to the injury of the
place, and to the infinite loss :of the *Sons
who have invested capital there. it has be

From the •miith of the inlet a bar reaches a
few hundred yards up the beach. Where this
offers a barrier to the wave , he bathing, of
course, is not first-rate, unless persons cross
over to tl e har. Bu in front of most of the
hotels, boarding-houses and cottages on the
island there is no obst;uctio., whatever, and
the surf beats up upon the broad beach as it has
done for countless centuries. Neither are there
any mysterious currents to terrify the timid and
destroy the bold. The deaths by drowning last
summer were the result of recklessness and Inv
Wise daring. There have been no drowning
cases this -yen, and there need never be any, if
bathers will keep close to the shore, and refuse
to venture into deep water. Men are drowned
in Ilk.!•surfonly when they trifle with the awful
forces,of the sea.
We can confidently recommend Atlantic
City, , with its liotels, its sports, its pure, dry air,
and its.delightful bathing, to all who desire to
spend their 'leisure days within easy. reach of
the - eitS'. IC has no fault that has not always

. The Temperance organizations - . of 'Philadel
phia are numerous and. pii'Weiful,, Kiley coin
prise thousands of earnest. men ',apd wonlen,
honestly desirous of doing all they can to pro
mote their good cause.' Why , can (;liey not
unite their forces upon this central point, and
take u . p the enforcement of the negleetea
both as to the Unlicensed and half-licensed
liquor-dealers, and the 'stile,of liquorS to minors?
The field for such a work lies all arOtind them;
and the difficulties. of; acConitiliShlng it are not
so insuperable but that they would Yield'before
the judicious and determined efforts of such
a combination as the friendS of temperance
and public morals could bring, tb pear upon
them. The State is losing Six - Hundred
Thousand Dollars ! every year . by the un
licensed and half-licensed liquor-selling in
Philadelphia alone, and 4ociety is losing in a
way not to he reckoned in dollars and unts by
the unlaWful training of minors in habits of
intemperance. These evils to the State and to
society are of the gravest character, and 'the
public mind needs to have them impressed
upon it with great plainness and earnestness.
The reform needed in this direction is an at
tainable one, whenever rightly-ftanized eflort
is turned in the right direction., '
The election in Tennessee yesterday re
suited inthe success of the Seater ticket. Sen
ter is chosen Governor, 'and - there is likely to
be a majority of his adherents in bah branches
of the Legislature and in the Congressional
delegation. This is to be regarded as a Demo
cratic triumph—but a triumph gained, like
most•of those by the same'party, by means of
tr?kery and fraud. Nomina ly there was no
Democratic candidate in the field in Tennes
see; but, as in the late Virginia campaign,
both the aspirants to the Executive chair
called themselves Republicans, and stood upon
professedly Republican platforms. .But Stokes
really was the candidate of the Republican
party, .and be bad the endorsement of the
leading members, of the national administra
tion. .Senter wore the fox's skin. He is at heart
a Democrat, and his assumption of devotion
to Republican principles was, a clever trick to
win votes, .and to avoid the odium which at
taches to the corrupt and disgraced Democratic
Fatty among the loyal men of Tennessee. It
is well established that he .received yesterday
the support of large numbers of Republiains
who were weak enough and foolish enough to
trust his Professions of loyalty to the party and
the administratiOn. It - may be that Senter
would have been elected without the assistance
of what may be called the Conservative divi-
Sion of the
__Republican
_party„hut„_ . this Is at
least doubtful. As it is, his triumph is a'fikeil
Tact now, and we must accept
grace possible - . it will 'not be vcry.long,:how 7 .:
ever, before the unwise Republicans will find
that they have gone after
_false_gods, and put
their faith in an unrighteous cause. If we had
no better evidence of Senter's rmworthinessi it
be sufficient - that Andrew Johnson sup
ported him-and voted for him:- That- fact_ought_
to seal the fate of any political candidate in
this country.
And nowit tiu'ns out, after all, that President
Grant did not •tgrateffilly receive" those fifty
acres of ground offered to him at Brieksburg,
New Jersey. Consequently the universal howl
of indignation raised by Democratic and
doubtful Republican newspapers over the con
trary report was entirely Unnecessary, and
without provocation. If President Grant had.
chosenlo .accept the offer, and become lord and
Master of half 'a hundred acres of desert wild,
we do not know that it would have been any
body's business but his own at any rate. He
has as much right to accept a present as any
other citizen, and he is not accountable to his
friends or-enemies for such acceptance. The
Thicksburg presentation was a clever scheme of
the proprietor of sundry sandy acres to secure
gratuitous advertisement of his improvements.
That this incident, and the President's presence
at a watering-place should form the ground
work of all the assaults made upon him by his
political enemies, is, in the highest degree,
creditable to him.. These innocent trifles are.
magnified and dilated' upon; because in the
eXecutiOn of the man's official duties there is
absolutely nothing of Which his opponents can
reasonably complain.
In a three-hours' speech delivered recently'in
Jackson', Tennessee, the late Andrew Johnon'
declared that "Bather than see the, wicked ride
of Congress perpetuated, he would 'finch pre 7
fer to be the subject' of, some wise or just
prince or emperor." If Mr. Johnson should
conclude to emigrate and become the sUbject
of some "just prince," nobody in this country
would tear their lair or shed—any tears of
anguish. But when he arrived in the do
minions of any "just prince" in the world, he
would find. thdt •• bldekgbardism of. the 'Execu

(Special Despatch to the Phila. 'Evening Bttlletto.l
HAnnisnrrio, August 6, 1869 1 —The State
Teachers' Cenvention, at Greensburg, West
moreland county, next Tuesday, promises to
be the largest meeting of the profession in
this State ever held. A number' of distin
guished educators from different sections of
the country will be present. Hon. Harry
Houck, Deputy. Superintendent of Common
Schools, who has charge of the arrangements,
has received letters from every section of
the Commonwealth, indicating a much larger
attendance than usual. Some forty or fifty
teachers in Rhiladelphia, of .both sexes-have
signified their purpose to leave that ,city on
Monday evening for Green.sburg. The various
railroads have agreed to return free all
teachers, duly certified, who pay full fare
going to the Convention. At the cTose of its
sessions, which will be on Thursday, arrance
ments will doubtless be made for a pleasure
excursion. ' .

U F.TTv_surno, August 6.—bieu. Meredith has
arrived at the Springs Hotel, and is giving his
-.-testimony with regard to orthe
principal events of the battle, as he expects to
be otherwise engaged at the time appointed
ler the meeting of Generals,. during the last
iti•eek-of this month:.
An arclurological investigation of the coun
try around 6ettyabarg,conducted by a learned
antiqualian, has proved the truth of a belief
long entertained by residents, that the battle
field 21 Gettysburg had in the distant past been
the scene
,of it bloody struggle between the
Indians or of sonic unknown or long extinct
race:- This fact Is attested by the exhumation
of the. military implements of the combatants
the.remairs of the dead in what is known
as the Indian Meld, about a mile southwest of
1 Top and of, the . National Cemetery:
These relies are found thicklYinibedded in the
Soil over the whole area of territory Which
was the scene of the rebel defeat in 1863. They
consist of stone arrowheads,
.battle-axes, war
clubs, shields, &c. Some of these . have been
disinterred froth their tomb of centuries and
placed on exhibition iu the College for the
present, but they *ill soon be placed in a ease
at the Springs Hotel.

therefore are manufactured lumber;

From the Utica ObsefOor; Ang. 4.3
The Philadelphia -Vor(h. American gives a
rumor,- current in Philadelphia, 'that - the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company and
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
- Railroad Company will shortly follow the.
Pennsylvania Coal Company in resuming
work at their mines in the anthracite region,
and that by the end .of this Week the entire
coal region of 'the State will be again actively
at work.
From tho Richmond Whig of August 4 1
There is a strong probability that the price
of anthracite coal will recede from present
figures, rather than advance, with the ap- '
preach of autunin. The speculators and
col
liers, who imagined
,that they could control
the trade to suit their owirgrasping designs;
have discovered that "they have overdone the
thing," and provoked the repeal of the duty
on foreign coal. We-learn from the PhiladelL
phia .IVorth American that "in the Seltnylkillr 0-,
mon all parties seem to be thoroUghl3r aware
of the mischief that has been clone, and: of the
• danger threatening,
and they are working
with zeal and effect to rush their coal tti
ket, in immense nantities. They have al
ready done wonders in Making: up lost
ground."
It, is estimated that before the end of August '
the increase in the-supply will equal at least
six hundred thousand tons over the supply of
laSt year for the same period. All the col
lieries are now at work in the* different coal
regions ; except two companies in the Scranton

of yesterday ininors were ht circulation ,that
the negrees were:Veryinnch excited, defiant
and threatening: and intended to barn the
Den - loci:ado candidate, (Col. Mann) •in , effigy. •
Several citizens called on the, Mayor and some
of the Radical leaders, and advised them that •
it would be better to postpone the meeting,
for if the threat of, bnrning in effigy was can ;
tied out, the white people eould not be re
strained frem an attempt to resent the indig
pity by force. It' was thought these repre
sentations bad had the desired effect, and'
there would be no meeting: . • •
At 8 o'cleck, however, the tar barrels' were •
lighted, and the ,negroes beg d an to flock in un

"knives and razors: .
Nothing occurred'to disturb the harmony of
the meeting, exceptthe inflammatory speeches
of:the leaders, until about' 10 o'clock, when a
jocose dispute between two citizens, on a sub
ject entirely foreign to politics or the meeting,
attracted some attention, and inpassing up to
see what it was about, a white man is said to
have aceidentally trod on the foot' of a colored
man. Just as the altercation about this was,
settled, a'pistol ehokwas heard, and this..was ,
