TUE AFFOINTBIENT OF JUDO:
8 &ANTON.
While For-Secretery Stanton is a Pennsylva•
Man, and his elevation to the Supreme Bench
say be regarded as, incidentally, acompliment
to this State, the history of his many
years' residence in Washington is so thoroughly
national in its character, that the President, in
tendering to him this high office, has rather
'Mulled his own feelings and the gratitude of
the whole people, than the State pride or repu
tation of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, sharing
in the general congratulation, cannot claim Mr.
Stanton as exclusively her own, since the two
beet and greatest decades of his life have been
lined beyond her holders and have been chiefly
'keeled to the service of the country at large.
The unusual circumstances attending Mr.
Stanton's appointment constitute a most ap
ropriate compliment to the distinguished
patriot and statesman ,to whom it has been
tendered. President Grant and Vice-Presi
dent Colfax, waiting in person on the ex-War
Minister, and the Senate approving the nomi
nation without reference to the usual com
mittee, mark this new step in Mr. Stanton's
jab& career with peCuliar and well-deserved
honor. With the exception of Ross, of Kansas,
and Fowler, of Tennessee,—who would have__
ink themselves lower by the act, were there
any lower depth for them to reach--every Re
publican Senator recorded his approval of Pres
ident Grant's graceful acknowledgment of the
ex-Secretary's title to whatever • appropriate
honors the American people can confer upon
Idm.
The remarkable unanimity with which
Pennsylvania presented the name of Judge
Strong to the President for this high office,
would have been followed by a bitter disap
pointment had any other name than that of
Edwin It. Stanton been substituted in his
place. With Mr. Stanton, Pennsylvania has
always been well satisfied, and is well satisfied
now. Pennsylvania gave him to the country,
years ago ; and she will now feel doubly Compli
mented if the intimations that President Grant
has reserved the distinguished position of At
torney-General for Judge Strong shalt prove
to be correct. That no better man can be
found to fill it, is the unanimous verdict of the
NeysiOnelitate
A DISEASIkE CONGRESSMAN.
It is . a
remarkable instance of habitual self
*control that during the years that Judge yood
ward sat on the Supreine bench of Pennsyl
vania he never once betrayed that ex
traordinary faculty for making a sublime
spectacle of himself which has become so
familiar to the people since he went to Con
gresS. It is in the nature of ,some organic
diseases to lie, hidden in the system, often for
many years, until some chtinge in the mode of
life, or some accident or shock suddenly de-
yelOpii the secret malady, and it rages through,
We life-channels of the unhappy victim with
remorseless and fatal fury. Judge Woodward
has one of these diseases. After sating for
rails before the_ public with a
ponderous solemnity of manner and
imposing gravity of speech which
'iliassed current 'for a profound wisdom,
`Ayes, in an evil hour, sent, by the grace of
Nallace's coffee ,grounds, to Congress; and
=MEE!
to niightway his disease broke out.. He bil4au
to talk the most virulent and rincontrollable
nonsense. And the longer he remaine in the
COngressional climate the, at Oteefhe gets,,until
it has conic to pass that. lureannot . open his
mouth Without uttering ..
e' eothe sentimenti so
ut t erly silly, and, at . the same ime, so often
sively - spiteful, that friend and foe alike are
moved to the most sincere commiseration.
Yesterday, after a promising interval of lu
cid silinice, Judge Woodward broke out again,
as bad as ever. He ranted the most pitiful
balderdash about the Georgia Reconstruetion
bill, uttering the most . ridiculous sentiments
about the Republie4n party and, the Fifteenth
Amendment that can be - conceived.. The
Amendinent, - qttoth this - diSeased Congress
man, 'was designed by its framers to be ' the.
last screw in the coffin of American libeity 1"
He might have added that it was also intended
to promote the manufacture of molasses candy
at the Court of St. James, or to subdue the fe
rocity of the. Babes in the Woods, or : some
other quay logical sequence. He likewise
•
remarked that "lie knew 'of no-: persecutions
that tle ingenuity of human malice could sug
gest which had not been practised on the
people of the South ;" which certainly suggests
the Idea that the ex judge's knowledge must be
even more limited than was supposed.
It seems a pity that Judge Woodward at his
age should "let his angry passion rise" to
such an extent as to excite him to the utter
ance of such absolute nonsense as this. Reim
only be accounted for by the fact that Mr.
Wallace made his coffee too strong, when he
Wail preparing Judge Woodward for Congress.,
and flint his nerves, accustomed to the sedate
pitch of the Supreme Court, were upset by it.
More's the pity!

Councils are likely to have a lively ses3ion
next Thursday. The fire-roughs , will un
doubtedly pay them a visit. The bunkers and'
the bullieS who decorate the lobbies with their
red flannel drapery, whenever any question
comes tip touching the supposed_ interests of
the "boys," will certainly turn out *n force at
the next meeting. , The Finance Committee,
with a bravery bordering upon recklessness,
yeAet day annihilated a score of wiped toys
hose companies. They stopped off the water
of their appropriations and gave it to the
steamers. This looks, teo much like a sub
stantlal reform ; it is too sure a dawning of
that good time coming, when the Volunteer
Fire Department is to give up the ghost, to
'happen without a terrible commotion in the
hive. Twenty companies reeled off at one fell
stroke Horns and spanners ! It is more thau
volunteer endurance can bear :

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA TUESDAY, DECE - 14BER 21, 1869.
Hereditary firemen! know ye not
Who would be free, himself must make a
blow ?"
Council Chambers must be converted into
a modern Bunkers' 11111. With torch and
trumpet fast begirt, each rough must don his
reddest shirt and lobby for his favorite squirt,
or dire will be the consequence. Where is
Philadelphia to look for her Sunday pastimes,
if a score of hose companies . are thus wiped
out? Where is this eform to end, if one
fourth c f the Department is thus to be de
clared superfluous at one fell blow ? The next
thing will be an inquiry into the necessity of
having so many steamers; and then,—horribfle
dicta I—we shall wake up some flue morning
and learn that the long-expected sucker has
come at last, and that P. F. D. are the child's
initia s.
We have put Councils on their guard.
Those mad-cap young fellows, the Finance.
Committee, have got up a most , audacious
Christmas box for them, and we shall watch
their surprise, from some safe retreat, with no
small anxiety; for nitro-glycerine 's blue milk
compared to the explosive qualities of the ad
mirable recommendation to abate this large
wing of the Volunteer Fire Department nui
sance. We hope that Councils will stand to
their guns, and
" Strike for an alter in our tires!

Peace and a I'. F.D.! "
Secretary Fish call 'afford to rest the Cu
ban
question on the correspondence which
was submitted to the senate by the President
yesterday. The whole managethent of the
business does credit to the State Department,
although it will not please the enthusiastic and
warlike gentlemen who have been wanting to
rush to the rescue of Cuba and get up a fight
with Spain about her. When the Cuban in
surgents achieve some decided successes, and
prove conclusively that they are gaining strength
and that they Cannot be put down, it will be
time enough to offer them recognition: We
shall rejoice if they can do this, but the pros
vet of it has lately been diminishing.
Mr. William B. Reed's Library was sold yes
terday afternoon, by M. Thomas &,, Sons:
Thanks to the extensive advertising of the sale
by the EVENING But.f.E.TIN, the attendance'
was very large, the bidding was animated, and .
the prices averaged much higher than those ob
tained at ordinary book auctions. Some of the
works, enriched by autograph letters from the
authors, brought extravagantly high prices.
If the sale of.the other effects had been as well
announced, they would not have been sacri
ficed as they were.
Between this and Saturday, people who are
thinking of giving others a happy Christmas,
should bear in mind the hard-worked and
ill
paid letter-carriers. If each citizen who has
been faithfully and honestly served by his let
ter-carrier would enclose to him a trifle in
money, the amount would not be missed, and
a nice sum for each man would be added to
his little earnings. •
...
'tiCthe": - rapid - growth
and increased prosperity of this. State is
afforded by the constant additions, that are
made to the number of newspapers published,
and by the signs of vigorous life manifested
by those already in existence. Among the
more recent of the new journals we notice
with pleasnre the issue of a daily edition of
the Norristown Herald, which supplies Norris
town with the local and general news, and
with int cresting editorial comments thereon.
Conshobocktin also hits its reprOsentative in
a clever little sheet entitled The Weekly Re
corder, edited and published by Mr. Charles
Jones; who promises to defend and promote
the interests of the thriving borough.
liantsport, the old Lycoming Gazette and the
West Branch litaletin haVe been combined to

The debate in the House on. the Georgia bill
this afternoOn attracted a ghat many people
to the capital, notwithstanding the inclement
weather. Mr. Potter, of New " York, opened
the discussion by opposing the bill. He
was followed in a very forcible speech by
Dan Voorhees, of Indiana, taking similar
views of the Ira asure. Mr. Eldridge, of Wis
consin. was the next speaker on the Demo
cratic side, and was listened to with marked
attention.
A Storms Executive Session. ,
1111 'Meson's News Agency.]
WASHINGTON, December 21.--In the Senate
executive session yesterday a fierce discus
sion took place on the President's refusal to
furnish the information on which the nomina
tions were made. Mr. Trumbull's former re
solution was modified, and then sent to the
President. The speeches made by Senators
Carpenter, Trumbull, and others, were very
denunciatory of the Exeantive, and Mr. Sum
ner was the only Senator who defended Presi
dent Grant. After a brief open session this
morning the Senate again went into executive
session on the same subject and in a continua
tion of the nomination of Mr. Hoar, whose
confirmation is now - regarded as extremely
doubtful.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—A special from St. Paul
says that news has just . been received that a
company of mounted insurgents pppared at
the Hudson Bay Company's fort,' near Pem
bina, on the night of the 9th inst., and took
possession. The greater part of McDougal's
agents and emissaries, tncluding Shultz,
Cowan and Hatch, have been captured.
Col. Dennis is skulking about until he can
reach American territory. McDougal is ab
solutely without even a follower save some
fifty Swampy Indians—the balance have de
serted.
Another correspondent says that the efforts
of Col. Dennis to organize a counter revolu
tion have failed, and the white population is
a unit. Shultz, Cowan and Ma4jer Wallace,
and fifty others, are prisoners. .Is o blood was
shed.
The French under Kesel are in undisputed
possession of the whole country. 'There are
40 Swampy Indians yet in the lower fort,who
arc not interfered with because they are con
sidered harmless. It is said that Governor
31cDougal is preparing to come back.
Another report says that James McKay and
family have fled to St. Josephs.
On the 7th, when the prisoners were taken,
there were more than 600 insurgents occupy
ing Fort Gary. The prisoners were all taken
at Dr. Shultz s, armed for a fight. Col. Dennis
has fled.

WASELTIGTON, Dec. 21.--The/Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations expected to con
sider the nomination of General Sickles as
Minister to Spain at the meeting to-day, but
were prevented from doing so by not receiving
certain documents from the Secretary of State,
which the latter has been called upon to fur
nish. One of the papers called for is under
stood to be a copy of the letter addressed
to the Spanish Government by Minister
Sickles, offering the good offices of this Gov
ernment to act as mediator to settle the Cuban
troubles, but which so aroused and incensed
the Spanish authorities that Minister Sickles
withdreW his letter. This circumstance will
have great weight in determining the decision
of the Committee in recommending his eonfir
reation or rejection; Secretary Fish manifests
considerable hesitation about furnishing this
letter to the Committee, for fear that it may
obtain publicity.
Forty-first Congress... Second Session.
WAsnlsGTes,l4T..2l.
SENAYs.—The Vice President called the attention o f
the Senate to the requirement of the law for the tilling
of the vacancy occasioned by the death of, Mr. Fessen
den as one of the regents of the Smithsonian Institute.
The law provided that the vacancy should be filled in
the came manner that committees are appointed.
Mr. Cragin reported favorably, with an amendment,
the bill to provide for the execution of the law against
polygamy in the Territory of Utah.
Wilson offered a resolution, which was agreed to,
instructing the Con.mittee on the District of Columbia
to examine into the administration of the School Com
mission and the condition of the public schools at'
IVashlngton.
Mr. Spencer introduced a resolution requesting the
Secretary of the Treasury to communicate to the Senate
a statement of the original cost of the revenue cutters
now employed, and information in regard to the num
ber, compensation, etc., of officers and men in that
xerviee.
HoUSE.—The reading of the journal was dispensed
With. in order that the debate on the Georgia mecon-
struction bill might he continued.
Severs' members naked and obtained leave to print
speeches on the subject.
Mr. Witter argued against the bill. Ile did not see how I
any member whit had sworn to support the Constitution I
could vote for it. Ile regarded it as wholly uncoustitu- I
tional, end he believed also it to be most unjuet. unne
cessary and unwise. Re believed that the policy of Yen
gience was only calculated to inertias(' the dissatisfac
tion, the disgust, and the Penes of wrong, which more
• than anythilig else interfered with the . prosperity and I
well .being of Georgia. It seemed to hint that this hill I
threatened the rights and liberties not only of the people 44
of Ceorg4t, but of every Northern State as well.
The offence of Georgia was the Sallie as that of the
State if New York, wlllell had just decided by a vast
niejority that negroes would not be admitted to office,
nor even admitted to suffrage without property
qualifications.. If Georgia could he punished fur that
effete e in the manner proposed by tlita; bill, why could
not New Yi.rk also be punished in the same way? 'This I
was but one move in the daily 'thnes toward,: a cen
tralized and absolute government, and to the &striae-
Con of that system of limited and localized govern- I
incnt establialied by the founders of the government. and
in winch only true liberty could be found.
Mr. Vorhees balk the floor and made an argument in
oprosition to the bill. the introduction of winch he 119-
( - Tito dto no influence of the President. II is own position
wail. Georgia had never ceased to be a State,hut mn' un
der the doctrine and action of Congress she was a State.
Being, therefore, a State, he should like to knew from
some one more (mimed in the law than the present Ex
ecutive by what power the Federal Government tells a
State do organize berLegislature in one way or another?
Mr. Dawes inquired whether that clause tel the Con
stitution reeinilbg tle. , United States to gusrantee a re
malican form of government in the Stateilld not require
the inaintainitig of a republican form of go% ernment ?
Mr. Vothees replied that the gentleman front Massa
chusetts wasprecluded from making that point, because
be had voted last April az, lost interfering with Georgia.
and nothing had occurred eioceto affect iudgrnent in
that regard, unless it were the i'retibleot'a fieswtge.
311 - . Dil-WCF inquired w9lettier 111 r. Yorhees lout any
otht r anevver to make to his question, except • that ho
'Dawes) Vino estoppid.
I Mr. Vorbers replied that that was generally held to be
a gOOll BIIRWCr.
Mr,Lawes admitted that it might ben good answer
as to him, but was not a suflkient answer ns, to the
peopb_-
Mr. Vorbees desired to know ,whether the:geutleman
I from 'Maesachrisetts hold that unconstitutional acts of a
State Legislature warranted the Federal Government
I in marching an army into that State, striking down the
habeas cotews, ono governing the people at the point of
the baronet ' .
Mr. ihtwesundenfteed that it depended altogether lit n
the character of such unconstitutional sae whether the
{ United States Government was authorized to do so. A •
Legislature might be guilty of what would call upon the
' federal government in all its capacitive and all its Dine
, Done to interfere to maintain a republican term of' gov ,
, ernment. It WAS a question of fact whether that con
elfin whether they Were constitutional ,or not.
(Mien of things existed iu Georgia or not.
Mr. Voorhees submitted that it was not for Congress
I to review the acts,of State Legislatures and to de-
I It woe for thejudieary to pass upon the constitution
' ality.olacts brought in question. It was heresy of the
gromiert kind to issuitte that Congress had vowels, In a
judicial capacity, to revisit the logislation.ol it Stateand
to determine whether they are in accordance with their
'State conetitution. It was a Startling doctrine, and one
which the sagacious mind of tile , gentleman from. Masao
chusette resorted to only because ho saw no other ground
on which to base his defence of this bill after the strong
opposition which he made to a similar bill last April.
Afr. Eldridge next spoke in op position to the bill Re
said that one of the saddest things in connection with
the dismission in the House was that the. House had al
most ceased to be a deliberative body, and that Its action
was dictated by the leading partleans of the Republican
party; - If the doctrine were to be established-that the ,
cominission of crimes in a Statejustiried the interference
of the Federal Governmenti why ihould..not doe- .
, trine be carried out as againstMassachusetta, where the.
Most atrocious crimes were committed. - In this eonnee
