Among the incidents indicating an effec
tual restoration of the Union may be taken

Methodist, Babtist, and Presbytcriau
churches.
The 14th of April, the anniversary of the
assassination, was almost universally ob
served, in Washington, as one of regard for
the memory nf Abraham Lincoln. In the

G n. William H. Koontz is announced as
a candidate for re-nomination in the Adams
Congressional District. We trust that our
friends in that district will give the General

"wrones of the last election, and prove arain

- Bountt Lands of Soldiers. The Com
missioner of the General Land Office has
issued an announcement in reply to a large
Dumber of communications from soldiers
and others who served during the late war,
stating that there is no law granting lands ,
or bounty land-warrants to soldiers or sail-
ors engaged in jh j late war against the re
bellion. The Homestead Act, as amended
M irch 21, 1864, grants homesteads of one
hundred and sixty acres to toldiers, Bailors
and citizen who reside thereon for a period
of five years, at a cost of $10, and register
and receiver's fees. Soldiers add sailors
may file applications for a homestead while
still in the military service, and the period
thereafter in which they way remain in ser-
'vice will be counted as a portion of the five
year's residence required.
No Harm, Eu? The following signifi
cant paragraph appears in the last issue of
the Clearfield Republican
The Philadelphia North American, is
afraid that Gen. Robert E. Lee might be
the next candidate of the Democratic party,
for President. What a terrible shock this
would be to the exclusively loyal, but we
think no harm would result either to the
country or the General."
A hem ! "No harm icoull result," then.
by electing Lee ! Are we to infer from this
declaration that the leaders of the Demo
cratic party are ready and willing to vote
fir a traitor for President? If that is not
the true meaning of the paragraph quoted,
then we misapprehend its import.
Soldiers for Office. Senator Hop
kins, of Washington county, having charg
ed against the Union majority in both
branches of the State legislature that the
clerks respectively of the Senate and House
had neglected to employ soldiers to fill sub
ordinate positions, the Harrisburg Je.legraph
refutes the charge by publishing a list of
soldiers employed by thoe officers, from
which 1t appears there were employed in the
Senate ten .soldiers, and the House fifteen.
There is no denying this fact, the Union
-Republicans are the Lest and only friends ot
the soldier, aad when they cati will bestow
the offices on all who are capable and have
good records.
. State Bank Notes National Cur
rency. On and alter the first of J uiy, all
State Bank Notes in circulation will be
subject to a tax of ten per cent. This of
course will throw all State Notes out of cir
culation and all the currency of the country
will then be National. Many are already
beginning to refuse State Notes, psricu
larly those from a distance, and the sooner
they are called in the better. With an ex
elusive National Currency, the holders of
notes will always be secure against "-bursting
up" of Banks, because they are based
on National securities, and are redeemed at
thecurrency Department, if a bank close up,
. Nitro-Glycerine What is it? Gly
ferine is the sweet principle of -oil, aid is
extensively used for toilet purposes ; but
mixed with nitric acid is converted into
highly explosive substance, which is called
"nitro glycerine." Nitric glycerine "is com
posed of 75 per cent of nitro-acid and 25 per
cent of glycerine oil. The explosive force
of this compound, according to bulk, is
thirteen times that of gunpowder, and hence
it has been extensively used in the mines
fh California, etc., for blasting purposes.
"Not a single man that served jinder
Geary in Mexico," says the Bsllefunte
Watchman, "will vote for him." To which
the editor of the Ebe.nsburg AUr.ghe.nian
replies by asserting that if the editor of the
Watchman were to come up here V Cam
bria county, where Geary raised the compa
ny which he led to Mexico, and make the

crammed down his throat, not by a "single

The Richmond Examiner, in discussing
the Civil Rights bill, asks the Southern
people to "pray that the cholera may de
cide the question between our adversaries
and ourselves." That" is not an amiable
lorm or piety ; out as tne times go, we
must be thankful it is no worse. It will be
remembered that the rebels tried "the in
fecting game" during the war, but it failed.
Another Explosion. Two weeks since
we announced the death of eighteen per
sons at San Francisco, by the explosion of
Nitro-glycerine ; and now we have the ac
count ot another terrible explosion of a
Warner at Aspinwall, by which forty-six
persons were killed and seventeen Wounded.
Many of the persons, in both these instan
ces, were blown to atoms.

Eeply of Gea. Geary to the Business Men of

New Cumberland Pa., April 4, 1S66.
Gentlemen: Yourcoiuuiuiiicatioo,bear-
i ing date March 20th, only jea. hed me oil
. tin :i, irii ilt on, I m fnm nuance witn vour
request I proceed to answer it with as little
delay as poaible.
You propound to me three questions, to
which you request au answer, viz :
1. Will you if elected chief mvjiitMte of
PennpylTDi, faith full eierl the power of your
admiuifttiatitra. to as to detent any and every at
tempt, made by legislation, or otherwise, for the
monopoly anl control by ray ooe corporation of
the railroad policy of the Stale?''
-2. Will yon oppose and withhold your sanc
tion from any legislation conferring upon the
Pennsylvania railroad company, or any compa
ny it may control, the authority to build brticUe,
unless the said grant should be under proviaious
of general law regulating the oonlituUou of rail
roadr' -'3. Will you favor and uje the influence of
your administration to secure the enactment of a
general law authorising the vonBtitution and teu
lation of railroads within this Commonwealth ?"
My rie s and opinions upon these meas
ures I am tree to you, and Quite wil
ling to indicate what my official action would
be, so tar as it is at all proper to do so.
Pennsylvania possesses iuuueuse treas
ures of mineral wealth, and most extensive
manufactories. To develop these, to foster
everything which tends to their develop
ment, and to cherish and to promote equal
ly the rights and interests of all her citi
zens, I tiruily believe to bj the highest duty
ot her statesman. I regard every kind ot
public improvement as conducive to this
end ; and I am therefore, in favor of the
most complete aad elaborate system ot in
ternal works, together with a proper system
ot protection to home industry- as a m; ans
of converting our .vast mineral resources.
agricultural products and manufactured ar
tides into values. Whatever shall so im
prove our commercial intercourse, enable
our manufacture to send the proceeds of
their industry to market, and so place cur
M ite at tne Lead or maiiuiactuiing and pro
ducing States uf the Union, shall have my
cordial assist; nee and cheerful approbation.
1 regard our railroad system as tne best
tudde uf commercial a:id social iniercounnu-
nication. in aiiitiou to tne meat mam
Iine'fr the State is enve'opod in a net-work
of minor railroads, wuich pour aii inrcas
ing stream of coal, iron. ore. lumber, livt
stock agricultural products, and the han l:
works ot stilled labor, to the distriuuitur
points within, and beyond, our borders.
While these corporations continue to act
their part as public servants, the-y should
tie carefully protected. They should not be
permitted to overstep their legitimate
rutictions. As creatures ot the law, thev
should obey, and be, in every respect, sub
servient to the law.
I answer to ti e first interrogatory, that
while I believe it to be improper to brin
t r r i
tue umuencc ot the executive iiepartmeut
to bear uponthe -Legislature, in auticipa
tion of its action, exeepr. in the way of re
commendation. I am heartily oniosed t
the creation of any monopoly in the rail
road system of the State, or giving anv ar
tinciai ooay created Ly tne law, pTivrers
winch would place it above and beyond th
reach ot the Legislature.
Jo the second interrogatory. I say. tha
while a general railroad system would best
comport with a sound public policy, it mu
originate with the Legislature, and until 1
shall be established by law, grants of Hwer
may be properly made to railroads to con
struct branches wuen they are desired uv
jhe people who are immediately intere-te
in the mute-, and would promote the de
veiopmens or, ineir propenv, and anoni
them avenues to market. Such grants be
mg so restricted as not to violate individua
rights or public interests.
In reply to your third question, which to
my mind includes both the others, I sav
aain, that I believe a ceneral law re?u!a
ting the construction of railroads and grants
ot power tor that purpose to he most con
sistent with publie policy and tha interest
ol the eomnifnw. a-b; and entertaining
the-e views, 1 would ce.t iinly nse the letriti
mate and constitutional power of the Exe
cutive to secure so desirable a resu't.
The spirit of monopoly in this and other
matters, should be discouraged in a Repub
lic an Government, and I have no sympathy
with any policy which may be designated
tor its encouragement.

Why did Mr. Cymer resign h seat in
the Senate ? We do not care what specious
reason's he assigned for backing out. The
real motives that influenced him we would
like to get at. It is not always ea-y to get
at motives. Let us see how near we can
come in this cae.
Many bills relating to railroals were be
fore the LegL-lature at the last session.
Among thee was a General Railroad Bill.
Here was a first-rate chance for Mr. Cly
mer to face the music. lie was just where
he could make up a record that should put
his views and purposes beyond all contro
versy. He had a deep personal interest in
preventing the passage of certain railroad
bills. He did hi - best to prevent them go
ing through. He miht have helped, or at
least h-" might have shown a disposition to
help a General Rai!ro-id Law, He did not
do that-. He made hi bow and left the
scene. Did democratic usasr require the
exhibition of wj much diffidence? Mr.
Woodward did not reiiru his seat on the
Supreme Bench when he wa the democrat
ic candidate for Governor. The Ju Ige is
no mean au"ho-ity in matters of democratic
e'iquette. I Mr. ClvniT a molester man

point to solve. While holding them to le

of them of an excess of modesty. Xo, no.
