The Somerset rd G kjusor Hovi ifl pronounced by tbe New York Tribune "a conscien tious, public-spirited, thoroughly able man, and has faith in tbe moral force of political society. He will make, we are quite sure, an admirable Governor." A tarty of baokers in New York bare agreed to subscribe for and Uke five million dollar a month of the four per cent. bend8. These are intended for tbe European market, md will take tbe place of our six per cents, held on tbe other side of the water. Ir is estimated that tbe pension ar rearages UU which Congress has ...ri end which is now before the President for bis' sanction, will take from fifty to one hundred million dol-! lars out of the Federal Treasury. As no prof ision is made for the money wherewith to py this large sum, it is more than probable the bill will be eert back to Congress for further con sideration. Oxe of tbe first official acts of Gov ernor Hojt was to nominate hii predecessor Governor Ilartranfi Major General of tbe National Guard of Pennsylvania. This graceful and dsserved compliment was promptly responded to in tbe Senate, by the mi spension cf tie rules, and immedi ate and unanimous confirmation of ibe appointment. Wehxesday last was a memorable day for tbe election of United States Senators. No less than eight were choseu out of tbe ten voted for in tbe different States. Those chosen are Conkling, of Xew York ; Cam cron, ol Pennsylvania, and Logan, of Illinois (Republicans); Yoorhees, ol Indiana: Vance, of North Carolina; Vest and Shields of Missouri, and Call.of Florida,( Democrats). General Shields has represented two different States before in the Senate, and Mr Yoorhees is chosen to fill the short and long terji both. Steaker Loxo, ot the House, has Lad tbe unusual luck of pleasing nearly every member in the make-up of his committees. We find that our members are both well placed, and will have ample opportunity to honor themselves and constituents in as sisting to hape the legislation of tbe preseut session. Mr. Colborn is on the committee on "Constitutional Reform," 'Judiciary" (General); "Manufacturing," 'Klecuons, and "Library," and Mr. Scbrock on "Constitutional Eeforni,""Judieiary" LocaI); "Accounts ;" "Library, and "Insurance." In the Senate Mr. Grof is on the committee on "Aecouuta." "Re trenchment and Reforms," and to "Compare Bills " Every now and then a few Dem ocratic scoundrels get their dues. Tbe latest case in point is the con viction and commitment to the peni tentiary of the canvassing board of Brevard county, Florida. These "bolly bays" one of them is a State Senator too are of that virtuous class who so indignantly swore tbat Tilden had carried three States, but bad been "counted out" by tbe can vassers, and now tbe fact that after a trial in tbe U. S. District Court they have been foond gnilty of a rime they charged on others, proves just how much redsne their charges againBt .the Repub lican canvassers are worth. Lee, tbe Couuty clerk now State Senator get three years, Wright, tbe Sheriff, and Johns, a Justice, t-o years each, in the Albany penitentiary. Takre is a tremendous effort leiog made in Washington by a number of lobbyists to compel the President to call an extra session of Congress, ti ter tbe fourth of March. The De mocracy ar verv anxieoB to force tbe calling of enefc a session to ena ble them at ouce to re&rganizs tbe Senate by ousting every liepublican oficer. It is proposed to delay soni S. tbe most important appropriation tills, and thus necessitit the catling of Congress early in March. It would be a calamity if the lobby a ad tbe Democracy acceed. Tbe Presi dent will be poweriess if the appro priations are not .made, but if the cnoney i withhe'.d to run tbe Gov rnmot, it eeems to us tbat be has power to pay fcr each expeaees until the time comes for the regular meet ing of Congress, out of any coney in tie Treasury not appropriated to oth er purposes. l( this is correct, the Democracy -may be iieaded off in tbeir own game by a proceeding warranted by ibe Constitution. The Minneapolis Tribune publish es a letter received by a gentleman of tbat City -from General Butler. In this letter Mr. Butler makes this ex traordinary statement: la tbe Democratic Convention at Charleston, S. C in the year 1860, I voted fifty-seven times, as I remem ber it, for Jefferson Davis, of Missis einpi. afterward President of the Confederate States, as candidate of tbe Democratic party for I resident lie was aot before the invention as a candidate, for my vote and ;bat of one of my cjilcaues were tne oo.' ones be had. I believed bim to be a representative man of the South, and oubseqneat events have sfcawn that I was right. And I believed then, and believe tow, that if be could hav been nominated for President and elected, tbe war would have been saved and tbe attempted disunion prevented, for be would have chosen to be President over thirty-two tatea rather than fifteen, and my ex perience has been that the North al ways gt more consideration on ques tions of human liberty from a South ern statesman as President before tbe war than it did from a Xoitbern dough -face, and tbat remains true down to tbe present time. .Yonre, trtly, B.

Up to ibe tiuieoftb meet ing of tbe relorning board no one doubted that Mr. Bisbee bad been elected bv a fair majority.

A spark of decency in the majority of Congress would throw hi n nnt hnt we fear said pparfe is wanting. General Braiu, Democratic Con gressman from Wisconsin, very near ly precipitated a row in the happy family on Tuesday last, by daring to object to the passage of tbe Southern claims bill, and criticising tbe as sumed loyalty of the claimant. The fire-eaters were immediately buzzing about bis ears lite a swarm of angry hornets, and it took a vast deal ol parlinientary strategy, and rubbing down of hair the smooth way, to prevent a general rush of the Con federate Brigadiers for tbe 6calp of the rash Wisconsin Democrat. Dur iug the flurry Mr. Ellis of Louisiana, fired by tbe imputation of Southern disloyalty, got in tbe following defi- nition of genuine Southern loyalty ; "N"r, I mtmr wltti tke memtr from WUjod pn ( Mr. Hr.LK ) Hint the perrenUire ol -loyalty in tbv Southern .St:ito during wur wa K"1 tlcl 1-m than nue per cent.

How long will it J.e till the Northern Copperhead will be asking reward for tbe aid and comfort rendered his Southern master in tbe struggle f.r tbeir noble, high and holy cause. The ceremonies attending the in aoguraUon of Governor lloyt on Tuesday last, were of a very impos ing character. Notwithstanding the snowv condition of tbe reels of Uarrisburg, and tbe biting wintry air, tbe pageant was the most mag nificient tbat was ever witnessed by the citizens of the State on similar occasions. Tbe stream of the city were literally jammed with stran ger and sight-seers, and all tbe pub lic buildicfs acd many private resi dences were gar with innumerable flags and other decorations. The procession, consisting or live thousaad citizen soldiery, and at least half as many irjlians belongiog to various civic aud pokikaj .organiza tions, was a very fine one, and i&U ed forth hearty plaudits throughout the entire length of the route.

Jan., 23 Fort Robi so n (Nebraska) couriers arrived this morning, confirming tbe news re ceived late last night of the battle be tween Capt Wessell's command, con sisting of four companies of tbe Tbird Cavalry, and the escaped Cheyennea. Yesterday morning trails were dis covered leading in the direction of tbe large range of hills some eight een miles northwest of Bluff Station, a distance of forty-six miles from this post, aud were follow el by Captain Wessells until he was wubia tbree miles of the hiils, when be baited and formed sk rmisb lines. AH four com panies were deployed as skirmishers, Company F, Lieutenant Baxter, mov ing from the south to the northeast side, Company II, Captain Wesselis, directly opposite, and Company E, Captain Lawson, closed ia at the mouth of the ravine where tbe Ia dians had entrenched thenv-elvet. Company A moved to the rear, thus hemming tbem io on all four sides, leaving no possible avenue of e ' ap?. The Indiais had placed themselves in a deep washout, keeping under cover. As soon as the skirmishers were within one hundred and fifty yards of the savages' stronghold, tbe latter opened a deadly fire, kilting Sergeant Taggart and privates Brown and Nelson, of Company A, aod dan gerously, if not fatally, wounding priva e Deboisse, of Company U. Despite tbe dreadful volley poured iuto tbe troops tbey bteaJily ad vanced, and when within sevi-my. five yards of the savages' pMon, fire was opened on all sides vilh terrible efiVct. At this monieut Capt. Wes eells. leading his company, aud loud ly cheering them forward, received a light scalp wound from a pistol io tho hands ot one of tbo blood-tnirsty Cbevenues, rendering him completely insensible. Lieutenant Chase, Com pany A, seeing the commanding ofli cer fail, rusaed forward, instant seized Captain Weeselis and carried bim beyond the range of the enemy's lire, then dashing to the head of bi own cotnpauy gallantly led tbem to tie very edge of tbo washout, where they fougbt the enemy with unabated furv. .Yean w bile tbe intrepid v es sells, having regained consciousness agaiu came to the front, and seeing ibe ground strewn with tbe dead bod ies cf tbe savages, imolored his men to cease firing, witb a view to get ting the remaining Cbeyennes to sur render, hut the Utter a ubbornly re futed, rusbing at the troops wub f r- midable hunting knives Ilaviuex ponded all their ammunition, they de icrmiaed to surrender to death only but ere they bad advanced uiauy pa ces a volley from tbe troops aod all was over. Companies F aud E were in a bad position to accomplish much while Col. Evans, wiib Hand Dcura panies, remained on tbe opposite bluff from where Capt. essells start ed, and not knowing tbe position o Wessell's command, arrived too late for action. Oa tbe cef-sation of fir ing. the dead b idies of twenty-three Indians were found in the rifle-pits occupied by tbem, including seven teen buck, four fquaws and two pa pooses. Niue remained, of whom one buck and five tquaws were more or less wounded, and tbree squaws un hurt. Of tbe troops but tbe tbree heretofore mentioned were killed, and Captain Wessells and cne private of his company wounded. Tbe latter cannot live. Ambulances left here at an early hour this morning to bring in tbe dead and wounded, and are now moving back slowly. They are expected here with tbe troops to mor row afternoon. CnicAuo, January 23 General Crook, at Omaha, telegraphs General Sheridan an account of the jffair with tbe Cbeyennes, substantially as al ready recorded. He savs tbe Chey- ences fougbt with extraordinary cour age and fierceness and refused all terms but death. Keataraj KiIIibkh.

Tbe armv bill is a tolerably live sub ject, bot this bill, so popular when i. was first introduced, and which al most all parties agreed had excellent features, it is feared, has been already killed by pre-legislaiive ditcusaiot. I believe tbat one of tbe greatest ob jections to tbe bill is tbe great author ity it confers en the unpopular Gener al of the Army. General Sherman ic tbe antithesis of Grant in that be talks, and talks. If Gen. Grant must be called the silent sagacious man, then Geu. Sherman is the no'sy lo quacious man. Not that be does not talk well, and convincingly, but be is devoid of magnetism, and, while his ability is conceded, he i not loved either in or out of tbe army. Tbe American world sees and hears too much of bim. He is too conspicuous ly ubiquitous. If be would only fold himself ic his military c'oik, and af fect tbe trick of mystery, be might go down lo posterity as a great mao, and have a bronze equestrian mon ument iu w bicb be Would be a!msi at heroic as the borse. But Geueral Sherman prefers to enjoy tbe present rather tnati posterity. His motto is (tin duin uiro; so he talk-t inceasaj; ly, is lb: hero of a thousand inter views, writes letters aud book, d.u ce at public balls, occupies the m t conspicuous box iu the theatre, the mot prouiineit seat on tbe plaifrm when Henry Ward Beecher lecture, until the army, congress, aud the people begin lo feel that the com mander iu chief has lost novelty and dignity, has in short become viuegar. Woeu tbe Czir of Rusia a.-ked tbe Grat Napoleon, at a ball in Paris, if it would be prudent lor him to da ne witb a popular actrei-s, tie French Emperor loid hitu to dance if be wished to read comments of hi- st: It alic performance iu all the Paris pa pers. Tbe Czar kept out of the pi pers. But the iiewj a;er penalty would not deter General SLeituaj. He would hate bis dance. Perbspi the only way in which a real reform can be effected, a rtfoim that will change the top heaviness of the army, and reduce the dispropor tion of one officer to every five men, wi.l be to elect a congress that has no desire for a second term Every member has the right to uotuiuate on cadet to Wert l'viut this i tine of bis perquisites. T'be Sv-n of tbe nios', itilineuiii! Constituent in his district gets the oomiuatiou. la this way the M. C, strengthens his own political fortune, and, to a certaia extent, insures bio re-election. It is exptcJng too mucb of human nature to suppose that pol i icUns will vote disiutereitdy on a subject that so neaily affects tbeir personal fjriuaes. And the West Point mill will continue to grind out high pay officers, at tbe rate of 75 per year. There are too many other abuses, local and national, cry iug for reform, ir tba mi-He-i to coneeuirate on this as an issue. Aod even if it should be embodied iu the national platforms, Congress would fijd some way to evade it History shows tbat all rtferms may be evaded so long as meti and wotnea hve b.eid, and, ia a U'piV licaa form of government, where it is impossible to fix responsibility left rui cf what are culled miuor abuses, are less attainable than in monarchies.

There are now over 7,500 bills pending ia the House and Senate. There is no statute to prevent auv citizen of the United States from having his hobby brought before Congress.

Mtrdrrd By Her Father. Davenport, Iowa, Jan , 25 A terrible tragedy occurred near Dav tonville, Washington county, Iowa, Thursday nigbt, in the murder of Mi-8 Emma Hull by her father, O P.
