The new Pemoc-atic Major of tic
city of New York has Felceted as his
secretary tbe late private secretary of
his Excellency Jefferson Davis, late
President of the Southern Confed
eracy Thus we go. Wherever the
Democracy gains power, there artb-l
in frure to bo pensioned.
Is the U. S. Senate last week Mr.
Lcgan made a sharp hit in reply to
tbe fierce denunciations of Gen. Sheri
dan's despatch to the president
characterizing tb White-League out
laws as Uanditti." Said Mr. Logan:
The Democrats in this chamber have
denounced Sheridan more since he
wrote the despatch than they ever
denounced Jeff Davis and the w hole
rebellion during tbe lour years it was
thundering at the Constitution of the
countrv.
Two years since Carl St hurz !"J--jtt0, we t-iaphatically enter our jro
ed himself to the Democrats, in their u,sl g8;u..t tlJ(! cotle of morality set
attempt to divide and overthrow the l,v ibis wcsLbucklcr iu estcaua-Re-publicao
party by running Horace itjon o(- hUnders that a journalist
Greeley for President, and he has his caD(lot ,e evnected to verify the
reward. On Tuesday last Ue Demo
crats of the Missouri Legislature
e lected as his successor in the I nited
Slates Senate one of their own kid
ney, one Cockerel, whos only merit
is that he commanded a rebel brigade
during the rebellion.
Like the Irishman at Donnybiook
fair who, whenever he saw a head
hit ii so the Democrats by :i simi
lar rule, whenever they spot a rebel,
pr.inote him. The two latest glar
ing instances are the election to the
1'. S. Senate of Crockre.ll, a rebel
General from Missouri, and Kernan,
from New York, whose votes in the
lower House of Congress during the
war were invariably ia sympathy !.
with the rebellion.
At last the agony i over, and
William A. Wallace is elected to rep
resent Pennsylvania in tbe United'
States Senate, for six J ears, from the
4ih day of March next. Never be
fore did poor devils ewcat and travail
us did the Democracy of this State
pending this election. With a clear
majority of not less fiau nine on
j iut ballot, so little confidence had
they in the integrity of their chosen
representative", and of each other,
lhat they could not sleep o'uights, or
breathe easy until the fart wasac-e-omplisbed.
Tbc threat? made aud
terrors held over the heads tf mem
bers were as multitudinous as their
nwn political sins.
While .Northern Democratic ora-l
tors and j mrnals are howling over
the oppressions of tbe South, aud the
denial cf their rights to the Southern
people, it is a fact worthy of note,
and most significantly giving the lie
to their allegations, that in the next
Congress, out of 133 members e lected
from the South, 112 of them were
soldiers in the rebel army. Instead
of suffering the pains and penalties
of their treason, here re 112 rebel
soldiers selected to make la ws a
rouatry whose government the-y tri
ed their level bevt to overthrow.
This is oppression and t denial e.f
rights, with a vengeance.
Two classes of votws, the ''Moral
teformers" and the "Temperance re
formers," bjth of whom gave their
aid to the success of tho Democracy'
last fall, are receiving their reward.
The first fruits of the great moral re
form is tbe supplanting of John
Scott, a consistent, Christian gentle
man, without spot or bleinlkb, ia the
IT. S. Senate, by William A. Wal
lace, a noted creature of a most cor
rupt ring, and himself tainted with
participation in the grossest political
fraud ever perpetrated in the State.
And the temperance reformers have
their band mODev.in the appointment
by 'the Democratic Speaker of the
House, of a committee oa ' Vice and
Immorality" to wbieh u ill be re
ferred the question of repeal f the
Local Option of which thejeha'irman
is a temperance man, while a large
majority of the committee are in fa
vor of repealing the act. Gulled by
promises, only made to be broken,
their "reforms," like apples of the
Dead Sea, bave already turned to
ashes on their lips.
A desire for reform and economy,
were the reasons assigned ia many
portions of this State, for support
ing tbe Democratic ticket at (he last
election. Well wc are just now
garnering the fruits, thrust upon us
bv these zealous reformers. For
three consecutive weeks the House
met daily, twiddled its thumbs, and
adjourned without doing a particle
of business. Why? l?ccaue no
business could be transacted until
the committees were appointed, and
the Democratic Speaker was afraid
to announce the committee's until a
I. S. Senator was elected, lest ot
fence should be taken by some ol the
brethren at the positions assigned
them, and they would not work kind
ly ia the traces, w here a "pull sll-to-gethcr',
was necessary to elect Wal
lace. So for twenty-one days the
House did nothing, at a cost of cot
less than f 75,000 to the State Treas
ury. We commend this fample of
Democratic economy and reform to
he attention of the tax payers, and
tt is only the beginning. Wait until
the end.

Warwick, nc
has been blustering
i for Weeks over the FaciGc Mail In
vestigation, undertook to dictate to
the C'ongre.-F.ional committee, and
Gnding his counsels not heeded,
eveotuallv more than insinuated that'
at least two members of the commit
tee were implicated in the theft they
were investigating. Immediately
Rtitl was f-ubpa nacd, put on tbe
stand, and ordered to tell all he
knew. The examination took the
starch risht cut ot him. He shuffled
and whimpered and finally was forced
to admit that he knew nothiDg, that
hi.-, journal was a mere retailer
of
street slang end prurient gossip, aod
that he himself did not believe the
lies be had circulate 1 througn it.
This disgraceful exposure cf a paper
that claims t he at the head of the
1 AmpricRn uress. is most huuiiliatinjr,
truth of what he gives to the public
as news. He can at least abstain from
publishing slanders against his fellow
men, (which he admits he did not
believe j on no better evidence than
turret ramor. The Tnhunr has
fouiid its level, and gods! what a
descent from the days when it was
edited bv Horace Greeley.
Tin: sub-Committee of Congress,
that spent eight days in New Orleans,
investigating the state of affairs in
Louisiana, repurt that everything is
lovely iu that political L'dei) ; that
the Democrats lee-ted a majority of
the Legislature ; that the White
Leaguers are innocent lambs, armed
onlv for their own protection, and
that they couid obtain no evidence of
intimidation having been used.
Wc have no denunciations for, or
nrgurocnt to make against this report.
Wc will merely set beside it a few
uncontroverted facts, and permit the
public to form its own conclusions.
It never has been denied that massa
cres of negroes, in cold blood, were
perpetrated Pt Colfax nod at Cou
shatta; that local officials, who had
resigned and were being conveyed
out of the country, ostensibly pro
tected by a guard ot citizens, were
waylaid and murdered, and that the
While Leaguers, with much slaugh
ter, captured the city e.f New Or
leans, deposed, temporarily, Gover
nor Kellogg and the State authori
ties, proelaiined IVnn Governor, aud
telegraphed the President that the
revolution had Ltcd peaceful, and
that the-y were in uncontroverted
pos.-e's.-ioii e.f the State. Yet say
the Ci mmittee, " the White League
is a peaceable eirganization, armed
onlv for self protection," and we could
obtain no evidence of intimidation,
aud before their report had been snb
tuitted, a Mr. Oglcsby, a proiuinunt
merchant of New Orleans and an es
timable ei;izen, w hose testimony be
fore the Committee was not accepta
ble to t ha "banditti," wts forced to
resign his position as President of
the Chamber ef Commerce, and an
attempt to eVivc him out of the prcsi-ib-orr
of .he Louisiana National
Hank id being made, by a withdrawal
of funds by the depositors. Yet, say
the Committee, there is no intimida
tion. Place these facts beside their
alle-gations, and judc ye.
The attention of all our reuders is
invited to the message of the Presi
dent on Louisiana affairs, published
on our first page.
It is frank, fair, and moderate in
ts statements, aud completely de
molishes the calculations of the De
mocracy, who expected to make a
large amount ef political capital out
of the unhappy state of affairs exist
ing in Louisiana.
Elated by the first lying telegrams
from New Orleans, Democratic Gov
ernors, Legislatures, officials, and
journals, by preconcerted action, rais
ed a howl against the Administra
tion and the military officers in com
mand in the South, and hugged to
their bosoms the delusion that here
was their opportunity to overthrow
the Republican party, but this mes
sage, giving tbe status of affairs so
full' and clearly, has scattered to
the winds all their hopes.
Indeed theeffecf of this document
has been magical. It Las uot only
overthrown the machinations of the
Democrats, but it has satisfied and
consolidated the Republican party
everywhere. It proves that the
Presideut is not to be deterred from
doing his plain duty, under the laws.
It shows that the grossest outrages
against the personal safety and rights
of the colored people have be'en per
petrated, that the leaders of the
White League were properly stigma
tized as "banditti," and that almost
every imagiaable crime, murder not
excepted, has Lcxn committed, with
a view of obtaining coclrol of the
State government ; and it thoroughly
explodes the allegation that the na
tional troops dispersed the Legisla-
ture, by clearly showing; First, that j
there was no legal legislative org?uL -
ration to disperse, and secondly, tLat
tbe party now charging the national
Government with illegal ami unau
thorized interference, was tf)ejirt to

Plymouth Church remains true

I'OLITICAl..
Le t no lit publican be deceived by
the recent manifestations in this ci'.y
on the IjouNiaua tpiestioii. The
'Times went off half-cocked agaiusi
the President, but it lock the back
track immediately w hen it got it
second breath aud had rectived some
facts. Tie big meeting of the 11th
over w hich so much tuss has been
made, was engineered entirely by
Democrat.-', vvLo got enough sore
lieaeled and impracticable Republi
cans into their traces to give tbe
thing a color. The Republican.-) of
the Citv of New Yoik sustain the
President in his action, and so do
thousands of the d- e-i. nt Democracy.
Remember, please, the Trillin? is
not a Republican papeT, and remem
ber also that the iViics, though gen
erally right, is very liable to g- into
spasms on exceedingly thin provoca
tion. And remember, above all that
a man does not necessarily become a
Solomon the moment he assumes
the management of a newspaper.
The Tribune is as virulent in its op
position to tl;c Administration and
Republicanism r-s the World, and
even more urif.. r, and it- utterances
on any quest'n n of tiiis kind should
be taken with this knowle-dgc. The
message of ti c President h is settled
the question. The few Republicans
Who a low d themselves to be carried

have coma back to their senses, and
are giving the Administration a most

PUBLIC CALLS.
The Infant Asylum ball as it is
Called, for the benefit e f olc of tbe
finest charities iu the city, ope us tbe
gay season as usual this week. It is
tbe occasion for displaying niore ele-
gaat toilets than are seen at any oth
er public ball, excepting those given
bv clubs like the Union League re-ct-ptioris,
which bave much of the sc
leeiness f private parlies, with a
splendor t f entertainment not p issi-l
ble iir private houses. The twentieth ,
annual Charity Hail conies wffou the!
4',b e f February, at the Academy cf
Musie, "A Lie.ii has now room enough;
for the gay and mixed a-sciubly. j
This fa write e.ld charity attracts the
largest number of people, and all
grades of society meet there once a
year f.-om the elegant aud marriage
able ladv niansgeis in their private
rooms, the brilliaut foreigners of the
legations, to the popular actresses
from the coming opera, eu 1 all the
theatres, who maka it a piio: that
tiieir atteudants shall present them
at the Charily, ou a footing; with the
most respectable society of the tow n.
In short, everybody who has a silk
gow n and a taste for fashionable life,
andean spare live dollars for a ticket
goes to the Charity. This liberality
of admission which some of tha more
fastidious turn up their noses at, re
sults very happily f-.-r tbe benefit, of
the charfty itself, for its list of net
profits, siuc; its beginning, as shown
last vear, never fell below $5.000, aud
has ranged a.s high as10, 000, which
is a very pretty toll for fashion to
pay benevolence each year.
THE IT.ED1CT10XS UY THE NEWS-1'Ar-ER.S
that this would be a dull season for
public gayeties, leads the lady mana
gers to try their hardest to make
these balls more brilliant than ever.
At thejAsylura Hall the best society
does not disdain to air its
GOOD CLOTHES.
Maroaa or seal-brown velvet, with
light trimmings, is the choice for full
dress among matrons, and pro
nounced e-olors, like fire-red aud sul
phur, make the scene very showy.
Pale pink, I am told, is the preferred
hue for young ladies. It sounds like
hard times to hear of a dress of or
ange silk and crimson velvet traiu,
with uiaguilieeiit half-y.-.rd flounces
of Brussels lace, the whole valued at
8,000. One dark complexie.ned,
angular looking woman, over forty,
attracts attcution, at more exclusive
balls, by wearing the famous ,

composed of very brilliant stones,
each of wLicb would be counted a
very handsome soltaire by itself
Anchor lady ow ns $250,000 worth
uf diamonds, part of which she in
herited from her grandfather, aud
which she wears daily in necklace
and tiara to dinner, as you think you
would if had them, Madam ? Not
much ! Those liue diamonds art
kept three miles away from their
owner, down town, iu a s.ifcty vault,
and are only produced oa rare occa
sions. The lady would uot think ol
wearing them to a public ball. In
deed, judging from the i.iteiise seri
ousness of the faces of tbi most ex
pensively dressed women at balls,
they must be consumed by intense
anxiety as to whether one of their
precious stones is uot loose in the set
i;ug, or the crush is not ruining their
velvet with wrinkles.
After the charities of New Yoik,
a by not speak of its energies, and
especially of tbe instances cf
- INDIVIDUAL ENERGY,
which every day developes. A pret
,y story was told not long since, ol
a woman ia Kansas, who had a gift
tor musical composition and a passion
for making her way ia the great
world. She wrote songs, not simple
popular melodies, but long and bril
liant pieces of music, such as satisfy
che ambitioD of cultivated singers,
and sent them to a music firm iu
Philadelphia, with no sign that they

Another instance, well kuown to
ihe writer, is tt a: of a yemug lady
.vho came here from Indiina City to
uake her way in journalism. She
was not only bright, but well in
formed, with her natural taste, aud a
most industrious wotker. She h.i.
ueld the place of a.-i-'tt.nt editor on

tnd now is liie-ra y ediD-r of a Dem

some of the most just and readable
opinions ou books that coine from the

ol foreign travel, in essays ul.ke, J;er

dor was completed at or.c o'clock thi3
morning. ILepnsoncr slept sound -

breaklast this morning, fie was iu
communication with the Rev. Messrs.
Save and Mjrehoad, his spiritual ad
visers, yesterday and to-day, and re
ceived the sacrament from the former
geuitetuan this morning. Up to 11
o'clock to-day he showed great com
posure, but at that hour, as Let be
gan to realize his approaching doom,
his well-sustained fortitude began to
give way. Sheriff Guffey, acting un
der legal advice, decided to exclude
tbe multitude, admitting only the
deputy Sheriffs; the reporters present
acting, for tbe time being, as depu
ties. At 12:45 Heighley was led, or
rather carried up to the scaffold, and
ufter the reading ot his confession by
Rev. Mr. Love, was asked by the
Sberi:l if he wished to say any thing,
and be made no reply but merely
shook his head.' The Sheriff theu
recpiested all spectators excepting the
deputies to retire. The black cap
was adjusted, and at one o'clock and
eight minutes the signal was -riven,
aud Samuel Heighley swung off into
cternitv.
Samuel Heighley suffered death
r the brutal murder, ou tne uight
of November 20, 1373, of a shoema
ker named Joseph Kerr, in Frarikliu
town -hip, Westmoreland Co., about
eighteen miles from Greeusburg, tbe
county seat, where the execution took
place. The victim, Kerr, slept ia his
sho;i at night. Heighley, w h j was a
former employee ot Kerr was aware
ot this, and on the evening m ques
tion secreted himself in the loft of
tho woik-sbop. About 9 o'clock,
Kerr, w ho had been absent, returned.
Heighley then came d.iwu frjiu his
hiding dace and attacked Kerr w ith
ii e,.t.u mioL-aiiig uiui tnseusiOie. lie
then, with a shiicinaker's knife, cut
Kerr's throat from ear to ear, mi l
took what money he could find in his
victim's pockets. lie ransacked the
shop for more, and failing to find nnv
he then put ou Kerr's Coat, throwing
his own under the bed. He obtained
between sixteen and see cute-eu dol
lars ia money and the nut. While
the murderer was in the shop a son
of Ktrr's returned from a visit to uu
adjoining town. Hearing the norl
and seeing a light in the shop he en
deavored to gain cut ranee. Failing
to get a response to his knock he
forced the tijor aud saw Heighl.-y ui
a window in tho rear of the shop.
Young Kerr gave the alarm, and get
ling the assistance of the neighbors,
followed Heighley to the place where
he was boarding, some two miies
from the scene of the deed. Learn
ing that the murderer had ri firm d
home the posse went to his bedroom,
woke him up, and w hen he was taken
into custody blood 'marks were dis-eovcri-d
on his clothing. He wa
compelled to dress and go with Lis
captors. While they were talking to
him about the murder of Kerr he
made no reply to questions, but the
perspiration rolled off bis face in large
drops. He was taken to Kerr's shop
and compelled to look nt the body ol
bis victim, and was asked then why
he c;d the deed. He gave no answer,
and urned his head away. The
party then proceeded with the pris
oner to a justice of the peace. Hy
this time a large and excited crowd
had gathered, and a rope w as procur
ed and placed around Heighley'.
neck lie was then told that unles.
he told where the money was con-
coaled, they would string him up.
He remained sullen, and refused to
answer. The crowd then threw one
eud of the rope over the limb of a
tree and Legau pulling him up until
his toes barely touched the ground.
The wretch then pleaded for mercy,
saying he would tell everything, and
then named a place where he declar
ed the money would be found. Af
ter taking him to the spot indicated
and failing to find the money, he pro
duced it from his sleeve. lie wa.
then brought to Greensburgaud Com
mitted to jail for trial. There was
no trouble ia procuring his convic
tion, and after that he freely confessed
his crime. When the wretch wa.

of War. A report has just been re
ceived Irom Maj. Merrill, at Slircve
port, which is too long for tt legraphic
transmission, but will be sent by

altnos'. ia Maj. Merrill's own words:
Threats made before tin- election to
drive from the community all thai
voted the Radical ticket are being
carried out. Couibiuaiiens anions
the whiles are forming and rei ruuiog
by every form e:f pressure, by wh et,
ail neurits who voted the Had cl
ticket are to be refused work or lenses.
Ait the whites not belonging to the
combination are to b ostracised.
Already more than live hundred
families, including at least two th Mis
and pei pie of all ages and sexes, are
wanderers, w ithout means to g-i else
where, and pjwcrlcss to find either
homes w here they are, and on the
verge ot starvation iu mid winter.
Theft and other crimes may result,
and it is feared that the bitter feeling
naturally resulting from the seuse ot
injustice recei.'ed, may run into one
of revenue. These homeless people
will gradually drift together, and the
while people are not slow, as the pist
has shown, to set afloat inflammato
ry rumors of intention of organized
violence oa the part of tho negroes,
and where the revolver and mob law
are the common resort in such cases,
as liieV usually have been here, disor
