Other. Mr Baldwin, the old incumbent
got up aifrivolous pretext for contesting
his election, which was overruled by Judge
(JonynRhain and the oilieo awarded to sir,
Collinca. 'Iho Court approved of his
bonds and they were forwarded to liar
risburg. Threo weoks'havo elapsed, but
no oommisoion has come. Governor uur
tin refuses or ncclects to commission Mr,
0.. and thug under the law Mr. Baldwin
holds 'the office. So it seems that the
Governor too is treating elections as tbougl
they never 'had been held, lie sent
commission to Mr. "Grant for Aesociato
Judce wbose -certificate was bogus.: but
for a Democrat eleetcd by a majority of
the votes, army and all, no commission
can bo got, beoauso it kcep3 a political
friend in an office that the people have
given to another. Again wo ask, why
does not'tbe Governor send on the com
mission ?
And yet this is the man, who, himself
holding his office by the suffrage of the
people, deliberately denies to them the
xight toesorciso that constitutional .pre
rogative. Ho treats An election .as if it
had .never been icld, defies the power and
derides the right of the citizens of Penn
sylvania. In the case of our judicial dis
trict, when a unanimous request was pre
ferred to him to appoint to the Judgship,
William El well j with a deliberate and
characteristic disregard of their wishes
.and petitions he xefuoed. When the peo
ple next fall, in their sovereign capacity,
elect Mr. Elwell, what will .his excellency
doJ 'Will he Topcat Luzerne county on
a, and refuse or neglect to send on his
commission ? Wc shall see.
-And this is the man,with whoso fulsome
praises Dr. .John week after week disgusts
this .readers. Who for presjnt political
(popularity, decliucsto levy the "Special
Tax" of one-half mill,laid by the Legisla
ture, to pay the interest, and so far as it

Tshifts and subterfuges of a defeated, -dis-graced,-
and broken .down party, 'they may

Wendell rtiillips on tho Administration.
Mr. Wendoll Phillips, tho grcst Ajax of
that phalanx of agitators to whoso persist'
cut mischief making muoh of onr present
national difficulties is attributable, -has re
cently enlightened a Boston audience with
another exposition ofihis peculiar viows on
tho conduct-of the war in general, and on
ts conductors in particular.
Hear what ho is allowed to suy of tho
truly conservative President Lincoln.;
" If wc had a President who could open
his oyes and see something besides Ken
tucky, and if tho Cabinet could sco any
thing but political preferment, tho country
would havo somo reason tor hopo ; but as
thing were going, their memories would
sink to the infamy which perpetuates the
names oi Aaron JJurr and Ueneihct Ar
nold." Mr. Wendell Phillips, wo believe i? stll
at liberty. Wo will over advooato liberty
of speech, but i t ought to go all around.
This Northern disunionist praises tho
Southern leadors with as much vigor as he
abuses tho Administration. Ho says :
M The Soutfi deserved to succeed. She
had exhibited better etc.misbip and more
capacity for tho contest. She had -created
Guanccs out of nothing. She had subsi
dized every press and Court in Europo'
The South had subsidized the London Times
tho samo way sho got Texas. Sho had
like a skilful pilot, weathered every storm."
Concerning the prospects of tho war,
this disturber of tho publio peace says-:
"Gen. McGlellan proposes to restore
tho 'Union by going to ltichmonn, Char
leston and New Orleans. Let him do it.
I don't believe in defeating this rebellion
in ninoty days, and if wo do not we are
nationally and -politically dead. If our
arms are not victorious by April 1st, tho
Southern Confederacy will bo achieved,
unless, indeed the slaves shall riso."
Wo make theso quotations, not that wc
aro surprised at them, considering the
source whence theyemenate, but to show
our readers that the Abolitionists aro as
bitter enemies of the United States Gov-

is for tho maintainance of tho Union, and
not for tho abolishment of slavery? Wo

made this declaration in soveral -official .oc

emigrated to Northampton, and as the
colleague of-CoL Neiman, Editor of the

for the Democratic Ticket,) and they in

More of Cameron's Gootl Management.
A difficulty is presented at Washington,
as to tho disposition of all the cavalry reg
iments accepted in the service. Tho com
manding General asked for TWENTY
SEVEN regiments and tho whole number
accepted aud authorized to bo raised by
Gen'l. Cameron, the -Secretary of War, is
SEVENTY THREE ! This is forty-six
more than Gen. McClellan either wants or
knows how to dispose of. This excess will
cost tho Government jubt about S-10,000,
000 ofi needless expense, but what of. that?
It gave Simon Comcron's friends an .op
portunity to buy up about FOKTY thou
sand OLD HOUSES and sell them to the
government at an enormous profit. Tho
government now owns so many horsc3
that they don't know what to do with them
and tho animals have been put out to board
by the thousand, among tho farmers in
Delaware, -Maryland aud tho lower part
of Pennsylvania at 40 -cents a day. It is
now proposed that tho number of regiments
actually roquired shall bo renderod a
efficient as possible and the others cither
discharged or turned into infantry. Af
ter that is done, the poor old Horses will
be sold at from thirty cents to ten dollars
a head. The corrupt rascals who bought
all these horses should ho made to tako
them baok or cat them. Easton Argus,
Moro"io Party."
The Boston Post says : "Tho speeches
and votes upon tho organization of the
Legislature wero remarkably harmonious
in favor of ignoring all party distinctions
and prjudices, an equal unanimity has
been exhibited in the appointments at the
State Houso since not a Democrat lias
been selected for any appointment."
Our Republican friends at Harrisburg
were a little moro liberal than their breth-
ern at Massachusetts. Out of tho thirty
Gvc or forty minor appointments in the
Legislature, they generously gave tho
Democrats one aud ho an Assistant Door-

Narrative, of his capture and subsequent

Congressman Ely, relumed to Washing

day, previous to the battlo of Bull's Ruu,
ho walked alone to tho brow of a hill somo
distances below the hospital just this side
of the ruu.

. . . t r

have whipped them, but are falling back.''
Thinking it was a etracgo victory, ho went
still further ; just this side of Ball Run,
he stopped by a tree. At this jiiomeut a
riflo ball whizzed up tho road, tearing up
the ground by his side. In a few nieuutos
a cannon-ball tore the limbs off a, tree on
y a few faet above lias head.
Not knowing which way to turn, he .con.
sidered it as dangcroui to go back a3 to
remain, when, in a few minutes, from the
firing, a company of infantry and two men
on horseback matched from the thicket.
Mr. Ely up to this timo did not suspect

They had gone but a short distance when
an officer rode up wearing the uniform of a

Tho Rebel Colonel drew a pittol, cock

As ho was about firing, two Rebel officers
jran up and throw thoir arms about him

With great difficulty thoy succeeded in

to aid our enemies."
Miles then whispered to Beauregard for
a few minutes. Mr. lily said, "I am

Beauregard ordered him off, and th

All around him seemed from diffcrcu
