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.

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

It has more than once bctn pre
dicied that the day would come,
when Northern men would be ex
pected to apologize for standing by
tbe National Government during the
rebellion, and behold the day has
dawned! Tbe Democracy having
secured both branches of Congress,
the Southern element tbat controls
it boldly avows tbat henceforth
tbose only will be hsH as ' loyal to
their country, their God, and to tbe
noblest, highest, and bolieet emotions
that ever animated the human heart,"
that did their full duty to tbe South.
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.
Tbe k.vgursl address of the new

THE PROCESSION.

ibeldstonecf which arrived here
about eibt o'clock. Tbe Pittsburgh
boys came in oa time, and were as
signed to tbeir places promptly. The
column should have moved at ten
oMotk, but matters were nit in ship
shape at tbat lime, acd it was fully
an hour later before tbe order was
given. Tne coluniq then tnoved off

in w hich also were the military rep
resentations from otter counties in
Western Pennsylvania. Tbe Sheri
dan Troop came first, Knapp's Bat
tery neit, tbe Eighteenth Regiment
following, then the Fourteenth Regi
ment, the Fifth and Seventh Regi
ments completing this brigade. It
made a fine displav and was very
generally complimented. Our bovs
fairlv divided tbe honors with the
lest of the military, even the crack
Philadelphia company, the State Fen-
cibles being rivaled bv tbem. (Jot
Guthrie had command of tbe Du-
quesne Greys and Col. Jos. H. Gray
of the Fourteenth. Both regiments
turned out strong, eepeaially the
Fourteenth, and the marching of each
attracted universal praise. There
was plenty of mueic ia this brigade,
which added not a little to tbe enthu
siasm with which it was received.
Knapp's Battery also attracted atten
tion, as d d tbe Washington infant
ry who though arrived late were as
signed a coed place.
The route was tjuite a sbort one
almost too abort to give a gooa dis

formed on Market street, at the corn

Tbe whole demonstration passed

grandeur of the display.
WITHOUT A OVEBNoIL
A rare incident in the history of
this State occurred to-dar. Owing
to the inauguration being delayed
nntil 1:20 p. M tbe State was with
out a Governor for an hour and twen
ty minutes, Gov. Hartrank's term
having expired at noon.
THE L1EUTENAST GOVERNOR.
As soon as the inauguration cere
monies incident to the induction into
office of Gov. Hoyt had been com
pleted, the members of tbe Senate re
paired to tbeir chamber, and Lieu
tenani Governor C buries W. Stone
was brought in and duly. sworn into
office. Judge paxsou, of tbe Su
preme Court, administered tbe oath.
After taking tbe oath Lieutenant
Governor Stone took the chair and
delivered a brief address, in which
he said tbe result of tbe campaign
was not a triumph of individuals, but
of principles. He said tbe fajtb and
expressions of May aud November
must not be forgotten in January or
March. After bis brief address be
assumed tbe duties of President of
tbe Seouis, aod occupied the cbair
for tbe remainder of the brief session.
Tbe only business transacted was
the passage of a resolution of thanks
to the retiring Lieutenant Governor,
and a recess was then taken until
three o'clock, when tbe Senate reas
sembled and voted on tbeSenator
xhip, with tbe result as elsewhere no
ted. SEltENAPINQ.
In tbe evening the various visiting
clubs, be-ided by tbeir banner bearers
and mingling music with the people's
glad acclaim, visited Senator Camer
on and dovernor Hoyt and serenaded
tbe Governor, and were in turn pre
sented to bim. Mayor Stokely, of
Philadelphia, ex-Sberiff Leeds and
every active politician in Philadelphia
were among the visitors.
Gov. Hoyt gave a public reception
in the evening, which was largely at
tended. .MaDV prominent citizens

eral was introduced to tbe club and
made tbe following brief reply : "I
have lived here for sixty years, and
never met with anytbiog but kind
ness from tbe people. I came here
without fortune, without power, and
distinguished only by poverty and,
perhaps, a little honesty. I have
been elected four times to the United
States Senate, and have held nearly
every office that my fellow-citizens
could elect pe to, and I had noth
ing to givo in return ljut ray love for
my native State and my labors in its
interest. Ot course, to-day should
be the proudest cf my life. Mv son
has been elected to the United States
Senate, and I bope be will always be
as true to his friends as I have tried
to be to mine. If he does not, he
will fuller, not you. I tbank you for
calling on an old man. I am proud
tbat I am a Pennsylranian, and I
hope that no son, or woman, either,
descended from me will ever forget
what thev owe to their State."

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.

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. A
parliament will mo e readily ap
ply the pruning knife to the over
grown peirpiisites cf tbe crown, tbao
it will cut off its owa perquisites
It lotjjs as if the eld saving, "Of
making many books there is no end,"
would bave to be revised by substi
tuting "bills" for "books."
There are now over 7,500 bills

bave found other fields in which to
vent tbeir turbulent spirits.
The litJe town of Salem, ia Se
baatian county, a few miles from the
Scott county line, has of late been
tbe rendezvous of a number of thee
turbulent characters, where tbey have
sated tbeir appetite for Arkansas
corn-juice, overawed the timid in
habitants bv day and made night
hideous with tbeir demoniac ytiN.
A tew days ago one of these youii"
bloods was arrested at Salem for di
tnrbicg tbe peace and carrying con
cealed weapons. He gave bond for
his appearance before tbe town mag.
istratafor trial ou yesterday. When
the hour for trial arrived be made
bis appearance, accompanied by
even or eight of bis boon compan
ions, all armed with revolvers and
saturated with the necessary amount
of forty rod whisky.
During the progress of the trial
some of the party drew their revolv
ers and made an assault, on Tuny
Nies, one of tbe tow a officials. A o
attempt was then made to arrest tbe
offending parties, but tbey reited,
and a general fignt followed, in
which one of the Scott couoty men
named Hawthorne was shot down
aod instantly killed, two others be
