DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
There is quite a contest going on in the State
among the Democracy in relation to the nom
ination of their candidate for Governor. The
military ring of that party, never very strong
during the rebellion and weaker now, urges
the nomination of Gen. 'McCandless, State
Senator from Philadelphia. A 'fen* simple
minded politicians hope to effect his selection
through his military record, just as though
the "peace" Democracy had already forgotten
their opposition to every thing (but the rebels)
connected with the war for the Union. A
fei of the General's military friends, such na
D; •is, of Bucks, Talley of Delaware, and
others we could name, in a spirit of self-adula
tion vainly hope to arouse the Democracy to
the belief that the people will elevate none but
soldiers to office.
The friends of Gen. Cass, of Pittsburgh, aro
also very sanguine, and bet high that his con
nection with the railroad influence of the State
see him safely through the Convention.—
Cass is, however, only a General of title, and
is, or ought to be, considerably under the ban
of the few Democrats who returned safely in
and out of the war.. Ile was educated at West
Point at the expense of that Government he
endeavored afterwards.to cripple, by opposing
the plans for reinforcing the armies struggling
in the field. The people are beginning to feel,
also, that the influence of the railroad men
must be checked before they not only own the
Legislature but the whole State. This latter
objection, however, would probably apply to
both parties in the consideration of this ques
tion and therefore will not have much effect
either way.
Asa Packer, of Carbon, has written a letter
to a number of Democrats in which he truly
says " there arc due from every man, public
"as. well as private dull es,and if the convention,
"after duly considering the subject in all its
" bearing, should in its wisdom decide to con
fer the nomination on me, I will not consider
" myself at liberty to decline it." This very
frank declaration of course places Mr. Packer
squarely in the field for gubernatorial honors.
Ile is immensely wealthy, and the Democrats
—those who failed In begging office from Andy
Johnson —are sufficiently rapacious now to
support the man having the largest pile, in the
hope of being more certainly awarded in some
way. But Mr. Packer is not much of a poli
tician, and will find it hard to circumvent the
tricks of those of his party who are. He is,
beside—which ought to kill him politically
forever with the Democracy--one of those
- nasty, wicked descendants of Puritanic blood.
TWA will undoubtedly go against him. To
place carpet-baggei" of• this discription in
the field would rob the Democracy of a great
part of their stump thunder. We can there-
fore look for much objection to Mr. Packer.
And while his railroad enterprise has made
him many friends and an extended acquain
tance, it has also insured him enemies. The
Democracy of the :Lehigh Valley are not
friendly to hint in this connection, and would
probably mist "do better" when it came to
voting, were he the candidate.
- Supposing the chances of these three prom
inent Democrats pretty evenly balanced,
would it wit be policy in the opposition to
compromise on "coffee-pot" Wallace ? lie
would run the nmchine this Fall, in the ab
sence of a Registry Law, with a perfect loose
nesi4 ; and if he could not manufacture votes
enough to elect the ticket there would be little
use in any body else trying. But Wallace, we
fear, is experiencing the ingratitude of Demo
crats as well as of Republics. His dirty tricks,
as chairman ()rule State Committee, were tc
transparent even for some of his political
friends to sanction. Ile is, therefore, for the
present, upon the shelf, like any 'other coffee
pot, hut liable to be put to use at any moment.
" We are free to 'confess that we cannot safely
' predict the a coining man" for the Democracy
In this Falls' campaign, but whoever he may be
Is destined to an overwhelming defeat. The
people will never again place power In the hands
of the Democratic party. What there is left of
it.is still rotten. The'leading politicians in,it
are little Ilse than a band of thieves, ready to
filth from the public treasury upon any pre
text. Only last week Mr. McMiller, Demo
cratic member of the Legislature, moved in the
House that his own and his colleagues salary
be raised front $lOOO to tlll6OO ! Ile was sus
tained by most of his Democratic brethren,
and it was only through the energy of Repub-
Beans that this ellbrt of the Democrats to rob
the State met with a fatal check.
THE srruvriox
One of the German failings is extreme tim
idity in money affairs. We can conimend
proper caution in business matters, but this
Mar of at panic which has gotten hold of our
people and induces nearly everybody to hold
on to their cash in hand as if they never ex
pected to get any more, is hurtful to the busi
ness of this section; and should be got rid of as
soon as possible. if anything will produce a
panic it is this one great evil above referred to,
and that panic extend no further than
within the limits of our ;twit community and
the only sufferers will be our own citizens.
• There is really no cause, as far as we are
able tocliseover, for.this lack of confidence.—
Business is slack and money is tight, to be
sure, but we must not be guided entirely by
the present. It is the opinion of some of the
eaviest and . most experienced merchants of
Philadelphia that the next four years trill wit
ness a prosperity our country• has never before
seen. Dry goods have not fallen much in
value, but on the contrary staples have ad
vanced. For a long flute consumers have been
purchasing merely NOM they could not . possi
bly do without and housekeepers will soon be
unable to hold out longer and must necessarily
renew their stock. The National Bank Cur
rency will be increased twenty millions, which
will of' course go to the Southern and Western
banks, but will relieve the drain on the money
market here and produce a plenty. The iron
trade, on which this county so largely de
pends, is gond and imprcving, with more dis
position to operate. True, one rolling mill
has gone Into the hands of an assignee, but
this was owing to n defalcation, and it will
not ho followed by others, There are various
causes which produce dullness now, but on
the whole the prospect is. bright. With a
clear, practical mind at the head of our Gov
eritment, honest men in every official position,
and men•of experience and ability in Cabinet
places, an increasing demand for manufactures,
and the consequent briskness in all branches of
trade, mast In spite of the distrust which here
prevails, at presecit, carry this country on in
the glorious career that has been marked out
foi us.
GEN. 11AUTRANFT-0110 Of the• truest sol
diers that ever unsheathed a sword-is named as
the Republican candidate for next Governor.
We have no &Min the hero of Fort Steadman
would defeat the sham Democracy next Fall,
If he had an opportunity, with greater ease
than any man yet named for gubernatorial
honors. ' •
13E14. SELFAIDGE, chief clerk of the State
House of Representatives, will please accept
aur thanks for valuable public documents.
MORE DEMOCRATIC RETRENCH-
111ENT.
A =tuber of thd,great Democratic party— ,
that organization whose professed destiny it
is to save the country from :Republican pecu
lation and rapacity—last week moved in the
House of Representatives, when the appropri
ation bill was up for consideration, that the
salary of its members be increased from one
thousand to fifteen hundred dollars, just five
hundred dollars more than is 710111 allowed by
law, and five hundred dollars more than the
amount they contracted to do the work for.
Here is another evidence of that great spirit
of reform and retrenchment claimed by our
opponents to abide in that shamefully oppressed
political organization I We feel all the
more indignant nt this inexcusable attempt to
filch money front the public treasury, because
It was made by Mr. McMiller, of Montgomery,
a member representing, or mis-representing,
a locality possessing for many of our readers
interesting personal associations.
Thug it is, whenever an opportunity offers,
he Democratic office-holders, true to their
raditional Instincts, seek to appropriate public
noney for private benefit. When we made a
m ely appeal to Gov. Geary, a week or two
since, to veto the bill increasing the salary of
the Democratic Treasurer of this county, the
Democrat new into a fit of virtuous indigna
tion, and claimed that the tax-payers must be
made pay tribute to this particular public ser
vant whether they liked it or not.
A nice party, that, to ever again get hold of
e reins of Government.
CONGRESS will not devote any more time
his session to the consideration of Pacific
tailroad schemes,--a fact that will he a relief
o the public, for a time at least.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

THE FIFTEENTH A'ND SIXTEENTH AMENDMENTS
The proposed fifteenth and sixteenths amend.,
melts to the Coustantion of the United Mates,
which passed the Senate last week by the neces
sary two-thirds vote will probably meet with
some opposition In the House of Renresentat Ives,
on the ground that the 15th amendment pre
scribes the qualifications of olleo-hohlexs. Of
course fine-spun theories may be urged against
the 'propriety of placing all men on 00 equality
in regard to holding Wilco, but reducing It to n
practical solution it h a s the basis of Justice to
stand upon.
The proposed 10th amendment In regard to the
manner and time of choosing electorn for presi
dent will also meet with opposition. principally
homage the amendment stipulates that Congress
shall have the right to prescribe ;lie mode and
manner In which the electordtzthall be chosen.—
This It Is Inferred, gives Cinngrb - the power to
preScribe that the electors shall b chosen by
congressional districts Instead on's This talcs.
is)
argument against the proposed amendment is
rather a weak one and will give the amendment
strength among the people, because it will strike

Your correspondent on Friday evening last, by
invitation visited the residence of Dr. D. lf. (inn
nell of this city, to witness the feats performed
through the Instrumentality of his son, an intel
ligent youth aged Ii years. Quite at number of
ladles and gentlemen were present. The boy,
Frank, was securely tied to its seat in a cabinet
by a committee of gentlemen, anal the guitar, vio
lin, and drum were placed abovek is head and out
of his reach. No sooner were - the doors of the
cabinet closed than the violin and guitar were
played upon, the drum beaten, and hands were
thrust through an aperture in the cabinet,
At the conclusion of the cabinet performance a
dark seanee" :was held outside the cabinet.—
Fmnk was tied securely to n chair, hands and
feet, the lights were put out, the musical 'lnstru
ments were pined on a table and marked with
phosphairun. The gul tar moved around the room,
the violin played and the drum beaten. The
boys Jacket was then seated up in front, and It
was removed an instant, without injury to
the stitches. A bottle of phosphorus; placed on
the mantel was surrounded by hands and moved
to and fro. By whatever name these manifesta
tions may be culled, spiritualism or anything
else, they are certainly wonderful. I am confi
dant that the boy did not move during tile time
those wonderful feats were performed.

Several petitions have been sent here lately
luny lug Congress to 11111e11,1 the COMMUtIOII so
IL, to acknowledge (lot us the 'tourer , of all power
and :" Jesus Christ as the ruler of the universe."
It Is evident that these religiousentbusiasts have
over reached themselves. Only about one-thir
tieth pert of the human family profess what Is
called Christianity, and how can the American
Congress lie expected to legislate for the " uni
verse," when our government and country Is but
nn Insignlllouit.part of that universe" Some of
these petitions read " rules the nations," but I hat
does not better the matter. We cannot legislate
for other nations.
Although an American Senator recently arose
In his seat In the Senate and said that It was
little singular that the framers of the Constltn
tion hart said nothing about thol and Jesus Christ
In that instrument, a tittle reflection must con
vince hint that the master minds who so success
fully carried through the American devolution,
knew perfectly welt what they were doing when
they framed the Constitution. At the time the
Fathers mode our constßution,, there was still
one relic of England's tyranny and stupidity left
on Anerieon soli—the church of England w i ts es
tabl lotted by lag• hi most of the States. They
could not openly attnek this eecleslnst teal power,
which held 010 eonsclences of so many men and
women within Its grasp; and they "Mt:estab
lished-the church by " leaving•it out in thecold,"
that Is, by not recognizing 'it. Divested of gov
ernment aid, It soon lost Its prestige and power,
as the framers of the Constitution knew It would.
But there were also other reasons why the Fathers
sold nothing anent religion in the Constittition.
They wished to Impress the fact upon the people
that the State bad nothing to do with religion—
that church and State must lie separate and dis
tinct; and to Impress this idea more distinctly,
they went still further and sold," Congress shall
make no law respecting religion." The Fathers
were rel , gions men, and it cello hot religion they
feared, but religious fanaticism and bigotry.—
Wise men as they were, they had but to east their
eyes over the history of the past, and see the mil
lions of human beings Murdered In the name of
religion; and this Inlet alone NI id pare im
pelled them to say nothing about religion In the
Constitution they were franting for their pos

Senator Henderson ins Introduced a hill in
Congress to consolidate the Agricultural, Educa
tional and Indian Bureaus, and the Land "Ince
under one head to be called the Mono Depart
ment. It is thought the bill pass the Senate
before the 4th of March.
(INN. GRANT'S CAIIINET.
The ijohemlans and the office-seekers have
again been foiled. The attempt made last week
by a committee of gentlemen to " pump" Oen.
Grout In regard to the appointment of his cabinet
tinkers and the probable policy of lda adminis
tration has, like all former attempts ended ht
smoke. The general Is a wise man—be keeps his
own counsel. Ile Says he will announce his
cabinet on:the 6th of March next. Those who
profess to be good at guessing say that Miter
Hamilton Fisher or New York or Senator Morton
of Indiana will be appointed Secretary of Treas
ury, and that lieu Wade will Iti; Secretary of tne
Interior.

It Is customary and legal for the heads of De
partments of the Government to contract for
stationary, ttei, with the lowest bidder, but it ap
pears that in one of the Departments. at least
most exorbitant rates have been paid to favorites
for the meanest kind of stationery. These
leaks" can only be stopped by appointing
honest men to olliee. Almost every Washing
tonian, the " old residentors" and speculators and
ofilee-seekers from a distance, think It periatly
Justillahle to swindle the Government. They do
not take the fact Into consideration that Nehen
they swindle the government they swindle the
penile. If I ant not mistaken, Gen. Grant will
put his foot doivn sehelnes to roll the CIoT
eminent, when it is in his power to do so.
THE "SUPERINTENDENT OF THE CRYPT,"
Who has served li is coil ntry for the lust 10 years,
by watching over the remains of Washington at
the Capitol, whilst they were resting at Mount
Vernon, will probably lose his situation. In the
year ISUO Congress passed fin act to deposit the re
mains of Washington in a Crypt under the Until
tot, and the bill called for the appointment of a
superintendent, at a handsome salary to take
charge of and watch over the remains. Wash
ington remains, it appears, were not removed to
the Capitol; nevertheless the gentleman ap
pointed to take charge of them has drawn pay
for the last IU years for watching an imaginary
corpse. Time most singular part of this affair Is
the filet that Congress has, year after year ap
propriated the money treimay the superintendent
of the crypt"
