Mclehoir !.s:-ard, one of the recently elected Asso ciate .Judges for this county. We have been ai-tpiiiinted with the Judge for many years almost ever since our first comimr into the i untv, some thirty years ago and we but speak the tmthful dictates of our heart when we sav that we have met none more deserving the name of friend nor one pos esHng a larger heart for his friends than Mclehoir Uossard. In all the relations of life ho wa.s a true man ; and it is no marvel to us, who knew him so well, that when time and opportunity offered, the people wi re not slow to recognize his good qualities, and bring them into position where they -would be of general service. Thus he has, on several occasions lieen placed in positions oftru-t recently that of Sheriff of Monroe omnry, an I but now elected to a position of h"ii r and responsibility upon the bench. Mr. ilos.-ard was well known throughout rur county no one better. His personal friends wore counted by thousands. It is ii'it pre.-umed that he was without enemies no true man can be but even these will agree with us that for integrity and honesty f purpose he was the peer of the best. IT; wa.s also, well known throughout the a !j 'ning counties, and." it is no small meed i.i' praise to be able to say of him that where over he was known, he was loved and re-.-pe.tcl. and his death will Le learned with regret. To his f.-.mly we can truly say that the s-ympathies of our entire community are with fliL'iu in their "friction. May that (iod wh.o temper-: the wind to the shorn lamb be their comfort and shiy in this their day of great tribulation.

An application was in vie by Mr. Weakley to the Supreme Court, sitting at Pitt-burg, for a mandamus to com pel the recreant Judges to perform their d ity. and the necessary order was at once is sued by Chief-Justice Thompson. The fol lowing day II. G. Skiles, the lie turn Judge representing Franklin county, signed and published a certificate stating that Weakley had been duly elected Senator by a majority 4)fb03 votes. From the statements in the local papers there appears to be no doubt that the Ileturu Judges acted iu accordance with instructions from the Democratic mana gers in Ilarri.-burg and Philadelphia, who thus attempted to defeat the will of the peo ple and to treat the election as if it had not been held. The cour.se of the party leaders in this matter is not calculated to strengthen them in the two counties whose people they thus .sought to defraud. KfjTiiz difference of nearly six thou nand between the majorities of Stanton and Death, on the Jlepubliean State ticket, was caused by the peculiar vote of Allegheny county. A third party was formed in Pitt burg and vicinity, voting for McCandless on one ticket and Death on the other. Stantoi was thus made to run considerably behind. while Death is ahead to a corresponding ex tent. Fortunately the aggregate majority in the State is so large that this freak has made no practical difference in the result. jfctifTiiK Lepuuhcan members of the Pennsylvania Senate have agreed upon Senator William II .Ilutan of Deavcr county, for Speaker next winter.

Mr. Deubler was a soldier under the firt Napoleon, having been with him at Moscow, in 1S12, and had a vivid recollection of the scenes connected with the evacuation of the French army from that city, after it had been fired by the order of the liu-sian Governor, Kostochin and of the sufferings of f!ie army in its memorable retreat from that frozen country.

It is well known that that liar monv of feeling, which should mark the progress of our mining operations, does no exist between the companies and their em ployoos. The last suspension terminate iu ;l Y unsatisfactory manner, both to the companies and the miners, from the fact that both parties were compelled tosuccum to a certain extent, lroin their origma standpoint, llie ba.-is agreed upon at that i i. time was to hold good until the 1st of Jan uary, ls72. Xow, the cause of this heavy decline at the October sale, must be traced to one of the following two reasons ; Kithc the market must have become glutted, or else it is a dodge on the part of the compa nics, that they may have some shadow of an excuse for reducing the wages of the miners on or about the 1st of January. Our mer chants, and but very few of our busiue.- men generally have, as yet, recovered from the evil effects of the last long suspension and should another strike occur at this time it would cast an impetus upon the futnr growth and prosperity of Scranton, from which all her mineral resources will neve enable her to recover. A strike will certain by be the inevitable result, if the companies attempt a ml net ion of wages, and, if sue i state of a fakirs should be brought about the miners will have the sympathy of the entire community, as long as they conduct themselves properly, as it is conceded by al that they are mining coal, as cheaply a possible Patsy McDonnell, a most notorious char acter, of bawdy house fame, has again mad himself notorious iu our midst.

The Democratic return jades of the XlXth Senate District (Franklin ami Cumberland Counties) refuse to give a certGcale of election to J M. Weakley, who was choseu to the State Sonntc by a majority of no less than 803 votes, on lhe ground that his election was secured b- bribery. The action of the judges bus every appearance of being part of a con s pi racy to retain the organization of the Senate in Democratic hands. Tae ltcpnb licaus have, by the election of Mr. Weak ley in a district hitherto strongly Demo cratic, a majority of one, but the Demo crats have tiie Speaker, who holds over, and, according to the custom for several years past, presides, until a new Speaker is elected. Of courfe, if Mr. Weakley can be ex eluded, it leaves the Senate tied. The flimsy uature ol the cvideuce upon which the returu judges pretend to justify their action, will be seen from the follow in affidavit, which is the sole basis upon which they have proceeded : Personally appeared before me, a Clerk of the Court in and for tho couuty of Cumberland, State of Pennsylvania, John A.
