CENTRE HALL REPORTER. 0 Centre Hall, Pa., January, 6th, Gov. Geary has our thanks for au early copy of his message. The Reporter Enlarged. With this issue the REPORTER ap pears in a greatly enlarged and im proved form —and is now not only the largest paper published in Centre county, with more than double the former amount of matter, but it is al so one of the largest and cheapest country papers published in the I ni ted States. We are now enabled to furnish more reading matter on our outside than was heretofore contained on both outside aud iuside of the RE PORTER, while upon the iueide we al so furnish more reading matter than heretofore. Thus while our space, de voted to editorial, news, and miscella neous matter lias been more than doubled, we have ouly added one-third to the subscription price,—$2,00 per year, when paid in advance, so that the REPORTER still carries the palm of being the cheapest county pa per published, and leaves us less prof it than heretofore. This change, to gether with outlay for a new press, costs us upwards of $2,000. We have gone into this improvement, trusting | that the intelligent people of Centre countv will stand by us with a liberal support, in our efforts to publish a pa per which will be devoted to the in terests of, and a credit to, our county. As an organ of the democratic party, our enlarged form will enable us to be more serviceable in battling for the success of our time-honored organ iza tion —unfaltering and uucouiproiuis iag in our advocacy of democratic doc trins, we shall endeavor to deserve the support of the rauk and file of our party. Any effort on the part of the friends of the REPORTER to increase its circu lation we shall be grateful for aud will be kindly remembered. Georgia Election. Georgia has done nobly. Grant sent federal soldiers into the state to "guard" tha polls, and see that the state couuts for radicalism. The returns are now complete aud foot up as follows : Six democratic congressmen A majority of the Senate. Three-forths of the house of repre sentatives. Five-sixths of county officers elec ted. Democratic majority iu the State nearly 40,000. Another U. S. Senator gained. LEGISLATIVE. The state legislature meets 2nd, Tuesday. The senate now being a democratic body, there will be a cleaning oat of the Augean stables in that branch. It is our opinion that Senator Wallace will be speaker of that body—be certainly will be should he desire it, and we think democratic sentiment points to him as the man. There is none more deserving the hon or, aud none more capable to fill the speaker's chair. Mr. Wallace has never been identified with any legis lative jobs or riugs, and although he is the oldest member of that body, his record, from beginning to end, is spot less. Mr. Wallace was always held in the highest esteem by his brother senators of the opposite party. Since writing the above, we have received intelligence of the organiza tion of the senate. Mr. Wallace was elected speaker on Ist ballot, ami Col. Jacob Ziegler chief clerk. In the house Mr. Webb, radical, of Bradford, was elected speaker, the democrats voting for Mr. J. Ellis, of Schuylkill. Senator Council introduced his bill for a constitutional convention. Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull, of New i York, had an interview with the pres ident a short time ago, claiming that women had the right to vote, under i the 14th and 15th amendments. Gen., Grant assented to the correctness ofj her view, and gave it as his opinion that women may properly assume the right to vote without any farther | amendment to the constitution. Wo'll rock the cradles on election day? Our Railroad. The railroad through Pennivalley is no longer a doubtful project—of this we became fully convinced, last week, at the meeting the board of directors, in Philadelphia. We can assure the people of our valley that the Peim'a R. R. com pany is in earnest in the matter, and will do what it has all along promised. The president is authorized, by a reso lution of the board, to have the road j located aud advertize for the letting of. of the tunnels and other heavy work, in the mountains between Union and i Centre, and this, the president has! assured us, he would at once proceed j with, unless prevented by a too rigo rous winter. The location aud letting of the work will extend so far -3 the right of way lias been secured. The guarantee for the right of way is wanting in Penn and Potter. The ' road coming along Penn* creek, Haines twp., will have no right of way to guarantee. Gregg and Harris have secured the right of way. Potter has her right of way nearly completed, i while Penn, wt understand, is still i j farther behind in this particular. The I j money being sui scribed in all thestdfl townsliijj.f, it is to be hoped, tiumJfAl gaps ify tiV right of way will up, -o the locofidn and hicJ la thr ujj'|r at one time. As the people along the line j move and perform their part, so will the work progress. A speedy retpov al of all obstacles of this nature, is equivalent to a speedy building of the road. Miflltnburg proves this The iron is purchased to mil that portion, and next June the cars will run over it. The money is raised and the right of way secured to build the road from Tyrone to Pcnn'a Furn ace, at the west end—and that part will now go ahead. Coma now, men of Potter and Penn, don't let the work bo delayed for wnptjof your right of way. Don't let the whole burden rest upon a few men —all put your shoulders to the car and it will require but a slight effort from each to push it along. "Let Is Have Peace." The "let us have peace" saying of Grant, which was used as a radical motto, during the last presidential can vass, did not become a principle of the party after the election. The radi cals are not been having peace in their ranks since Grant was inaugurated, lie has been warring with the different factious composing the radical house hold every day of his administration, and there is more fighting, in the par ty now, than ever before, in spite of "let us have peace." Grant has been getting at outs with all who have come in contact with him, whether during the war, or since he occupies the white house. Ho has never proveu himself to be of the "let us-have-pcaee" disposition —selfish, stubborn, surly, and petulent, there is no peace in any circle in which he moves. His real disposition is that of the bully. Every action of his life shows it. He is disliked by all the promiuent military man of the coun try, and in the ranks of the radical party there is not one whom we can call a statesman, but what has a dislike for Grant, for he has quarreled with all the leaders of his party, and would not "let them havw peace." It is a notorious fact, that noue have been able to get along with him, but such as gave him fine residences, valuable corner lots, and other presents. Grant is at present having bis fight with Sumner aud Schurz, both sena tors, and among the most promineut radical leaders Having failed to bully states iuto his submis sion. at the recent elections in Missou ri, New York, Georgia, aud elsewhere by sending federal bayonets to over awe the people, he tries to bully the statesmen of his party, in the senate, into support of corrupt jobs, set up to enrich himself and the corrupt crew with whom he associates and holdes counsel. Sumner's recent speech, showing up Grant's San Domingo job, and Schurz' speech exposing his das tardly attempt to control the Missouri election, are nails in Graut's coffin, driven by the ablest leaders of the party. Sumner puts Grant into a bad light, as regards the San Dom ingo affair, and shows that he u dis honest, trickev, and untruthful—just as the domocrats always pictured him. Schurz shows him up in about the same colors. The fight is a bitter one, and radical blood has got to a boil ing point. "Let us have peace." Hard oil Congress. The New York Tribune declares: "The Forty-first Congress is not likely to go down to history with a commen dable reputtaion for good monls. Two of its members have been expel!- ed for selling cadetships, ono resigned to escape expulsion, three or four otfi ers got off only bv the hard swearing of the accomplices, one has convicttd himself of attempting to procure coun terfeit money to pass among the po>r negroes, one is charged with chcatiig soldiers' widows out of their pensions, and now the indictment of another fur bigamy is reported." Had a democratic journal said half as much of this radical congress, it would have been called a malicious falsehood, but since it is the Tribune, we guess our radical friends will take jt as truth, and as the confirming all which that radical cabal has been ac cused of by the democratic party. The Tribune does not go DV.er one tenth the list of scoundrels, and there are more than arc "dreamed of in your philosophy Horatio." A party of gentleman hsu o made a night tramp through the iMissages of the New York sewers, entering at Fourteenth street on the North river. "Hie adventurous party barely escaped arrest whib attempting to enter at other places, it being supposed by the police that they were "up ♦ good." A whole night was spent in the sewers, and the sensations are de scribed as fearful. Noxious vapors, foul mud and fungus weeds were everywhere encountered. They were once attacked by a sakocj of rats of "large as terrier dogs," and the party used their pistols with good effect iii dispersing them, but filled the sewer they were in with sulphurous vapors that nearly suffocated them. Before they got out of the party had fainted, while ail M'MV /nadei sick at the stomach A few minutes longer, they declared, would have rcn-l ilercd them insensible. The Virginia Legislature, yester day, passed a joint resolution of in-! structlon to Haunter*, and requesting Representatives of Virginia in Con gress to vote for general amnesty, and | removing all political disabilities.

Bordeaux, December 24. —The offi lial re port of the battle at Nuits on ;thel£tn shows that General Gremer was attacked by 24.000 Prussians, with a heavy force of artillery. Tho French had only 10,000 men, who, uf tcr fighting many hours, retreated a quarter of a mile from the town. Tho Germans lost more than 500 killed and wounded, among them Duke Wil liam of Baden and several colonels. The peasants fought bravely by the side of the regular troops. Reinforce ments came up tho next morning and the Germans retreated in such haste that the prisoners they had taken the day before escaped. Tho French loss was 1,200 killed and wounded.

Three Children Burned to Death- Detroit, December 28.—Thvdwell ing of Emanuel Helpman, in Alle gheny county, was burned on Satur day, three of his children perishing in the fire.

The father covered them with hay iu the barn and then rode a mile in the cold, absolutely naked, to waken the neighbor* and obtain assis tance, when he led senseless. He lies in a critical cond'tion, partly frozen. It is attributed that the Hon. S. 8. Cox tells of th- origin of that myste rious but som*what famous expression.

A Race for Life. The Montgomery (N- V ) Standard ! gives the following particulars of an exciting race of a trotting horse over the Walkill Valley Railroad: Last Wednesday morning, when the train from Gardner approached Luck ey's Bridge, about two miles south of Gardiner's station, the engineer, in coming around curve o the down grade toward the bridge, saw a horse ahead on the track, which, owing to ; the high embankment, lie knew could i not get out of the way. The animal j { wb:cT; belonged to Mr. John Titus, j whose residence u b/, apd yfrich j ; was once a celebrated trotter, bteom- j ing frightened, run toward j the bridge, and it was then the engi ; ncer saw the importance of the step' which he was obliged to take. Know ing thX ft? could not atop the train, it became a race tor Jim X |o which ! would reach the bridge first. If the horse arrived 'before the en | gine it was almost sure to throw it from the track, perhaps down the I abyss below, together with the whole train ot ptt*#ewa coucbe?, sacrificing : every lite on board. lie threw the the throttle valve all the way open, and dashed down that grade at the rate of fifty miles an hour. On plunged the horse and on came the poadjeyucs thundering machine with a deafening unu bjffijnd- Jfalf the distance hud been traversed and the > horse was within a few feet of the | stonework.

The Age of that dtv nay*: The deceased wan born near the city of Rome, Oneida county, Raw York, on tha let of Decern bar, 1798. He graduated at Hamilton College in 1820; studied theology at Princeton; was ordained to the work of the miuistry, and in 1825 ww iuatalled paalor of the Pint Presbyterian Church in Morrtfi town, New Jersey. From this place he wax transferred, in 1 M.'tO, to the ministerial charge of the First Preaby tcrian Church of this city, commonly known as the I Washington Square Church; but in 1807 he waa compelled to relinquish the active duties of this irigh office by a permauent disorder of the eyes, lie was widely known as an eloquent and learned divine, and be came eminent as the author of notes, critical, explanatory and nructit al ou all the new books of the New Testa ment, and ou the Prophecies of Isaiah and Daniel, and on the Book of Job in the Old. These works have been generally adopted as text books in Bible classes and Sunday schools, j More than four hundred thousand copies of the "Notes on the New Tes tament," it is said, have been sold in the United State* alone, aud they have been translated into foreign languages. Mr. Barnes also contributed to the press a variety of sermons, addressee, essavs, reviews, Ac, * "It is u singular circumstance," says a biographer, "that all the 'notes' refer red to, uiuouutiug to some fifteen or twenty volumes, and requiriug, if necessary, a vast degree of research aud patient industry, have been writ ten before nine o'clock in the morning to avoid trespassing upon the daily professional o the author —a memora ble iustance of what one man can ac cotuplish by system, resolution and earnest purpose."
