The governor has informed the legislature that tho apportionment has become a law without his signature, a* it was not returned within the ten days proscribed by the constitution. Mr. Mann, from the committee on constitutional reform, reported the fol lowingjoint resolution: Be it caorted, etc.. That the follow ing amendments of the constitution of Ais commonwealth be proposed to the people for their adoption, pursuant to the provision of the tenth article there of, to wit: First. Strike out the 6lh section of the 6th article of the constitution, and insert in lieu thereof the following: "A state treasurer shall be chosen by the qualified elector* of the state at such times and for such term of ser vice as shall be fixed by law. Second. Amend the fourth sectiou of the first article so as to read "in the year 1873, and every seventh year thereafter, representatives to the num ber of one hundred and thirty shall be apportioned and distributed through out the state as follows: Each eoun ty shall have at least one representa tive, and the balance shall be appor tioned among the several counties in proportion to the number of taxables.

An act to extend a supplement to an act relating to the lien of mechanics and oth ers upon buildings, so far as relates to cer * tain counties, approved May 1, 1861, to Centre county. Gov.

The workingmen held a mass meet ing at Harrisburg, about a week ago, at which Gov. Geary was the "big gua". Old Snickerville delivered a long, written address, in which be went it strong for the workingmen, but he was very careful not to tread so hard upon the toes of the capitalists Geary wants to be president, and see ing the workingmen's associations em brace tens of thousands of men, he would like to have their hurrah in his favor, his legs being so full of bullets, shot into them during the late war, some of them even in the battle above the clouds at Lookout-Mountain, the governor thinks he might run a little better with the aid of the W. B. A's. We wonder whether some of the miners did not think of prospecting in his excellency's shins for lead. - Auditor General. The Blootasburg Columbian says the fol lowing of one of our distinguished citizens, which it is aot nsoessery to say we heartily endorse: The Democratic conferees of the 21st Senatorial district elected J. H Orvis, Esq., of Centre, and Dr. Hook, of Ferry, delegates to the State Convention with unanimous instructions in favor of Hon. 5. T. Khugart, of Centre couniy. lor Aud itor General. Of the gentlewaa suggested we can speak from very long acquaintance and in timacy, and from knowledge that can not be mistaken. To a private character with out blemish, a political record without' spot, he uotia* ability for such duties that nre rarely equalled, firmness and honesty that no procure could m<>ve, unselfish pa triotism that would ever look only to the public good, the purest norality and the roundest discretion, We doubt whether a! candidate more thoroughly fitted for the place or to whom loss objection could he urged, could W found is the State Mr. Shugart was elected to the Senete in IBG7 from a Republican district, but was turned out of the seat by clear, undisguised and undenied corruption—was literally! bought out. Had he not declined a can vass for re-election the people would no doubt bare sent him back to the Senate by a majority that would not have been dispu ted. Mr. Shugart was for several years con nected with the Patent Office is Washing ton City, and such was his efficiency in that department of the government that he was not only retained by hi* own party hut under several administrations of ad verse oolitic*. He has also several times held official position in Cantre county. Notwithstanding these facts, he was never a seeker for office and has only accepted when voluntarily tendered to him. Such a candidate would be an honor and a tower of strength to the party, and such an one only should ba nominated at this crisis. Tho Age complains bitterly over the smothering, by the house committee, of Col.

The Wickedness of the Ku Klux Bill. That the Ku-Klux Force bill ia uu (MiistitulioiiAl may lie taken as already proved. In this respect il is as had as it could wed he made. But there ia another point of view in which nature is more odious and mote repuguant to all right feeling. Gen. Grant's maxim, "Let us have peace," mot with a harty response from the whole country ; and the people no doubt imagined tW when he became President ho would be governed by the spirit of that taring. But instead of this, wo see him urging upou his party in Congress the jiassnge of a bill whose only real purpose is to secure his own renotnii.ation as a Candida c for the Prcsideucv, and whose expec tod consequence ia to promt t> hostile feeling, alienation, antagonism, and conflict between citizens of the Smth and citizens of the North, lustead of aiminp at peace, Gen. Graut, and the majority who have obeyed his dictates in Congress, aim at war. lustead of endeavoring toproduceorder, harmony, friendly and patriotic aeutiment* be tween the differeut geographical divi sions of the Union, they endeaver to fau into fire the dying remains of the old contest It is impossible to exaggerate the wickedness of such couduct What punishment ceuld be too great for men who, merely to carry an election, light anew the firebraud* of civil discord, and who are ready to jeopard the peace, the prosperity, and the bappiuess uf the country as a means of controlling its voter*? A Patent Case Settled. In the United Stales Circuit Court at Pittsburg; last week, Judg* M' Ken nan delivered an opinion iu the case ofWm. M'Cully it Co. vs. Cunniug ham it Ihnsen This case wus a pro ceeding in equity, in which the corn plainauu sought to obtaiu an injunc tion restraining rwpondeuts from in fringing upon a patent issued for a fruit can, and also to get an account. The complainants are the exclusive assignees of D. Irving Holcomb, to whom letters patent, dated March 14, 1869, for au improvement in fruit jars, was granted. They alleged that re spondent* were infringing upon the same. Respondent* admitted that from the Ist of August. 1868, they made and manufactured fruit jars, in all essential features of construction and combination like the fruit jar pat ented by Holcomb. Tbey denied, however, that Holcomb originated the described jar iu the patent. Judge M'Kennan, In his opinion, reviews the claims made bv Holcomb, and con eludes his opinion, deciding the case iu favor of the complainants, as fol lows: "It is scarcely necessary to support the conclusion arrived at by a restatement of the familiar principle that a combination, all the elemets of which are old, ia patentable if a new or improved result is thereby obtained, or that acombinatiou, all the elements of which, except a single one, have be fore been used together, is also the subject of a patent The whole combi nation is to be regarded as a unit, and if all its essential elements have not before beeu embodied and employed together, it is to be taken as an orignal invention. "While, therefore, it appeared that j fruit preserving jars were made, and in use before, with a shoulder bed in which an India rubber gasket rested, and with a metal cap which was pres sed upon the gasket and held down by a wire yoke, yet it does not appear that the patentee's device to secure more effectual sealiug —the vital func tion of the whole mechanism—-by the exclusive circumferential pressure was emploved in any one of them. His claim is therefore a combination, of which this device constitutes an essen tial and valuable part, embodies a new and original invention, and is entitled to protection against infringement. A | decree will accordingly be entered for an injunction and an account." Rev. Dr. Cheney's fceplenee. Chicago, May 9.—Bishop White house and the members of the ecclesi astical court who lately recommended the degradation of Rev. Charles Ed ward Cheney from the ministry, met by oppointmcnt the reverend gentle men named, together with the vestry of Christ cburcli. The bishop was in a conciliatory spirit, and proposed to suspend pronunciation of Cheney's sentence until the meeting of the next general convention, and forever there after if that convention shall decide that Mr. Cheney has been following the doctrine of the Episcopgl church in omiting the word "regenerate" in the office of infant baptism—Mr. Cheney to conseut to its use in the meantime. His proposition was that the general convention should decide between them. Mr. Cheney took the higher ground that the omission of the word was a matter of conscience with him, and that he uon'd not be induced to use it by any power on earth. The meeting adjourned until this afternoon, the bish op hoping that Mr. Cheney might, up on reflection.be induced tcr change hit mind. Upon reassembling Mr. Che ney adhered to the determination he had expressed in the morning, and read a fist of budion* and clergymen who had written him offiwiog their sympathy and announcing their will ingness to stand by him, and also to omit the word regenerate as he had doue. The bishop then left the church, and it is supposed that noth. ing will now stay the promulgation of the eeoUum of degradation recom mended by the coofi. Presbj'trtdan View of the Ku Klux Act We confess that wtih our arms length view of fbe matter, we are at loes to understand the meaning of this kind of legislation, except on two suppo sitions. One of these is, that the ku- K lux organization is a far more seri ous thing than the Administration itself has allowed the people to be lieve. The other i, that Hie passage of the bill is part of the strategy for the approaching campaign. It is, to say the least, a little remarkable that all the States but two, in which out rages are anticipated, are in the hands of Republicans, who, haviDg failed to suppress disorderly State authority, might ask ths intervention of flie Gen eral Government. — Chicago Inferior, ( frexbylerian,) April 27- Tbe Government under a Republi can administration, eyen when bur theoeo by a Democratic debt of $2,- 000,0(H>,000, nan borrow money rapid ly at five per cent.

In another cojumn we give the Prosit dent's proclamation. The Clinton Demo; eratsajrs: To put it on record we print it. For tho fir*t in the history of this government, in a ttate of profound peace; the States are all put under martial law, or, to speqk more exactly, they have been put under military ban*, and, by procla mation, the governmental arm is uplifted and the people of a once free country have hanging over them a threat which, held ahpye thepi like sword of Damocles, mny fall at any moment with deadly ef fect It i* true that this is intended ii. mediately for interference with Southern States, but it it equally offense against the north, the east, and ihe west. "This law of Congress," he says, "applies to all Pfrts of the United States, and will br rn fnretd eterywherf." Why, you may ask, Is this extraordi.-! nary measure resorted to? There is no cvj-i dcnce of insurrection, you say, and there is no recital in the proclamation that the Governor of any State had called for fed eral interference to protect it against vio lence it was not able to suppress. All this, is true, and it is hut natural that you should Joofc. to tfy.oconditions when in quiring why this war measure is to in times of peace. Hut for Radical high-handed measures you should nat look in the Constitution for justification. Seek to find it in their own criminal legislation. These yHJ the authority, such as it is, and for tksu authority, n, u, > f-tHP must go ts Den Butler's Ku Klux hill.

The supreme court, in the course of its ordinary and de fined duties, declares the constitutional lim it to the powers of the general government; the government reconstruct* the court by adding Judges known or pledged to bo against limiting it* power*, and the new court at once proceeds to declare, in op position to a previous decision, that the limit to the cxcrc'sc of this power does not exist, so that the last bulwark of the con stitution and of the rights ot the people against the encroachments of the authority j which controls the army and navy, and imposes and collects the tax.**, is swept away. There is now no limit to the power of Congress. It may confiscate debts by is suing worthies* paper, and by making it * legal tender; and if it can do this act, that saps the foundations of alt business transactions, w hat tuay it not do with the assistance of a supreme court, which, if it should rebel, has but to be reorganized by putting more Judges on the bench of Con gress'way of thinking, who will blot out the previously recorded words of the law ' These are but a few of the objections to this decision.

Connecticut, The Radical Legislation has oonaomated the iniquity ot counting Governor Knglish out of his election. After opening a num ber of ballot boxes and finding that a furth er investigation would demonstrate the fact that Jewell was defeated by sumehunJred*. they sent to New York for a most notorious character named "The" Allen, a wtcteh who is ready to do any thing far hire who toon got them out of their difficulties. For *o much per head, he got men to make affidavits that tliey had voted for Jewell at such an such localities. A large number of these were imported perjurers from New York. Notwithstanding this whole proceeding was in open violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Connecticut, the Radical Legislature declared that Jewell 'was elected Governor. It is altogether ; probable that the matter will now be car | ricd into the Supreme Court by proceed ings upon a writ of quo warranto, where it will be judicially determined who is legal ly elected Governor.

Mr. I)e Champ of the Missionary Ilaptist church at Chocoville, was about to open religious services, and while the congregation was still gathering, a ruf fian named Ilandley entered the meeting house, revolver in hand, and approaching the minister asked him his name. On being told, llandlcjfl levelled his revolver at Mr. I)e Champ and fired four shots at him, three of which took effect in the head and one in the arm. The demoniac assassin then wheeled round and leveling his revolver at the congregation, drove them out of the house with curses and imprecations and threats of death. The affrighted people of course fled in every direction. The murderer then leaped it|o!i his horse, tied dose to the building, ami galloped <:!!. jje has not yet been captured As to the cause of tlie murder, the following is told : The man Ilandley, w ho has previous borne a notorious bad character, sonte four years ago inter rupted in the most scandalous manner a religious meeting at which the un fortunate Do f'hamp officiated, for which offi-nse tho littler had hint in dicted before the grand jury, tried, ard lined $"0.

When the republican party wa lirt formed, a largo portion of the , German element was attracted to it, and, indeed, most of the stale which it; carried in its first struggle for the presidency, iu 1 Ks<, were given to ite candidate by the easting vote of ami slavery Germans. Of thi* powerful element —powerful, though uut by any means a majority of the German vo ters —Carl Schurx was then, a* ho i now, the accepted prophet. He i". waa who gave the electoral vote of New York to Fremont aud who wrest ed from the democracy the western -laic* which for (he firnl time cast an' anti-democrat c vote, llut when the centralizing (endemics of the iparty liecame apparent, w hen it wx* manifest that bigotry rather than lib-, jerality, intolerance and hate rather than magnanimity and love, ruled in th* council* of the radical jiarty, many German* dissolved their connec tion with that party ami joined the noble army of th* democracy. From viar to year the arrogance and tyran ny of the radical leaden increased nn jlr to produce a greater exodu* of the German voter* from their rank* and to s*cl correspondingly the vote Air democratic candidates, until now Carl -Scburz is himself obliged to denounce tome of the outrageous art* of tho par ty which lie assisted in founding and |to recognize the democracy as the principal a-;ent in tho work of restor ing peace through the re-establishment of free government. In a apecch to tho people of 8l Louis, delivered on a recent occa*ion, this leader of the Ger man republican# declared most em phatically in favor of a general am nesty to the people of the South. He said, "a* 1 have worked for the equal rights of men. be they white or black, so 1 stand up for the equal rights ot j men, le they democrats or republicans. It is time that those political disabiii ties which were impoaed upon certain classes of those connected with the re-, bcllion'shouhl disappear." He also an nouucod his belief that in the constitu 1 tional limitation of political powers arc found the main safeguards of pop ular liberty, and stated that he could 1 not vote for the Ku Klux bill bg U'hiud )um the dead things of past; so 'ttuuld tlm d* ino< ; ril . cv '"lualor '.
