A late arrival from Vera Cruz furnishes the intelligence of the arri val of the French transports at that port, for the purpose of conveying the French troops home, and that a regiment of Eiryp tisn3 had left on the French mail steamer a few days previous. Both tLe French and Mexican flags were over the Fort and Custom House at Vera Cruz. The Liberals were encamped within twelve tniles of the city of Vera Cruz, but no hostilities had taken place. A train with $3,000,000 had just arrived, but whether for the French or Max imillian is not known. Masiraillian had is sued another proclamation, condemning in the strongest terms the conduct of General Sedgwick, in taking possession of Mata moraa. Some Mexicans proclaim that Ortega will soon be President of the Republic of Mexico if Maxaniillian leaves. We will see. A "Friend" Rewarded. Another of Andrew Johnson's characteristic appoint ments is that of the new Governor for Idaho, j John M. Murphy. lie was once indicted in Wasco county, Oregon, for malfeasance in office, and emigrated to Idaho in conse quence of that little but unpleasant difficulty. In 1865 he wa3 elected Recorder of Boise county, in that Territory. Just previous to the last election, the county safe in his pos eession was broken open and a part of the purloined money subsequently discovered in his bed. lie found it desirable to emigrate again. President Johnson considers him an appropriate advocate and agc-nr of his policy and sends him back to the scene of his former exploit.?. The desirability of having such. adherents may account for the numerous jail deliveries the President makes at frequent intervals. JCDGE OF THE St'PREME COURT. The BeUefonte JVe, Lock Haven Ilepuhlican, and other papers, are favoring the nomina tion of Hon. Samuel Linn, President Judge of the Twenty-fourth District, as the Re publican candidate for the Supreme Judg ship next Fall. We most heartily endorse this movement ; for, as a lawyer and Judge he has few superiors in the State ; as a man and an officer LL character is far "alovc sus picion; and his general worth, abilities and learning are conceded by even his most bit ter partisan opponents. If the Republicans desire to select a man who will be a credit to the party and an honor to the position, they will not fail, wlien the proper time comes, to bestow the nomination upon Judge Linn. U. S. Senators Elected. The Hon. Frederick T. Frelinshuysen has been elected Senator from New Jersey, for two years, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Wright. Gov. Morton was elected over Mr. Voorhees, in Indiana, for the term cnl ing in 1873. Senator Howe was re-elected for the same term, in Wisconsin. Senator Pomeroy was re-elected for six years from the 4th' of March next, and Hon. E. G. Ross to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Senator Lane, in Kansas. Sena tor Nye was re-elected, in Nevada. Hon. Roscoe Conkliug, in New York, and Hon. Simon Cameron, in Pennsylvania. Edgar Cowan, having died politically of Andy Johnsonism a malady more certainly fatal to politicians than the Rinderpest is to cattle the President wants him to be em balmed and sent to Austria as Minister, in the place of Hon. J. L. Motley, removed. As the Senate will probably refuse to con firm his appointment. Cowan will have a fit resting place in some political potter's field like Westmoreland county, where he is Jikely to find pltMity of spirit genial to his well-known taste and nature. Instructed to Resign. The Wisconsin Legislature, by a vote of 21 to 11 in the Senate, and 75 to 21 in the House, has con demned the course of Senator Doolittle.and instructed him to resign. Unregrctted by the party he betrayed, and repudiated by his own State, Mr. Doolittle can hardly console himself with fellowship with the latter-day Democracy and the applause of Rebels. Resignation under such circum stances is suicide, and, as Mr. Webster said, suicide is ronfession. A Profitable Les30X. Thirty years ago Simon Cameron was elected Printer of the State of Pennsylvania. Thirty-five years ago, he worked as a compositor on the National Intelligencer at Washington city. When Gen. Cameron was Secretary of War, several printers were setting type in the In telligencer office, who worked at the case while Gen. C was compositor in the same office. These are lessons of life, which the apprentices .and journeymen in all trades fan study with profit. Hon. G. W. Scofield. A Ilarrisburg correspondent of the Phil'a 17"? writing nnder date of Jan. 15 th, pays a high com pliment to our member of Congress in the following paragraph : "Allow me to make a single suggestion to you and other leaders of the Union party in Pennsylvania. The late choice of a United States Seaator, whether wise or otherwise, must for six years to come have an import ant bearing ujon the life and usefulness of our State organization. Meantime, other combinations mutt be made and other rep resentative men must be brought forward. Shall these selections continue to be old leaders of factions whose success or failure is but a continuous party wrangle, or shall they be unobjectionable ami rising young men. with no enemies to punish, represent ing the vigorous life and liberty of the whole Union organization ? By all means give us the latter. Begin now to combine on such a man as lion. G. W. Scofield, of our del egation in Congress from the Nineteenth district. He is in the prime of life and vig or of good health. An able lawyer, a cool and clear-headed debater, a threwd mana ger, and true as steel to the party and its principles, having a reputation without a blot, he is rapidly rising in the good opinion of his colleagues and the country. Beside, the growing West is now entitled to recog nition, and cannot salely be overlooked. But I mention Mr. S. merely as the type of a clans from which our leaders must be se lected if we would be harmonious and retain our power. The rking young men of the party must bear its banners. The ''barna cles" must goto the bottom. New York has just recognized this principle in the choice of the. young and eloquent Conkling. Pennsylvania cannot safely disregard the good example." A Texas Congressman. George W. Chilton has been elected to Congress from Texas, and claims his seat as a representa tive of that " loyal" and sovereign State. The Hon. George bases his claims upon the following- patriotic conduct: When Gov. Hamilton was compelled by the rebels of Texas to leave that State, he was piloted through the rebel lines by a Capt. Mont gomery, a loyal Texan in the service of the United States. The Captain subsequently fled to Mexico. Chilton, learning of his re treat, raised a body of rebels, crossed the Rio Grande, kidnapped Moulgomery, took him back across the river, hung lain, cut off his arms, and sent the mutilated remains to the town where the Captain had former ly resided, as was said, to show the fate of traitors. For this Chilton's rebel friends have sent him to Congress. Col. Washburn, of Indiana, has moved a resolution provi ding for an investigation of this horrid af fair, with a view of determining the Hon. George's right to assist in making laws for loyal men. A Rich Scen e. Hon. Jeremiah S. Black received a severe and anything but pleasant shock, the other day. While a certain elo quent lawyer of African descent, who had just been admitted to practice in the Su preme Court, was in the Clerk's room, pay ing his initiation fee, Jeremiah came rush ing in to get change for a ten dollar bill. The Clerk could not accommodate him, wheieupon the legal laminary of color vol unteered his assistance, asking, at the same time, if he had the honor of addressing the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens. Imagine the hor ror of Judge Black. Indignantly ejacula ting "No, sir, no!" he fled from the spot disgusted and dismayed, not even waiting for the chance he so much wanted. A Good Hit. It is said that Morrissey is a competitor with Johnson for public hon ors, lie commenced life in a very low posi tion he has been a rat-catcher, a dog-fighter, a prize-fighter, gambler, and fkallya member of Congress. He has gone around the entire circle, and leaves the Constitution and flag with his constituents. It is barely possible that he may yet become President. A terrible snow storm occurred at San An tonio, Texas. Over one thousand head of sheep perished from the cold. Cattle were in excellent order, fine beeves selling from fourteen to fifteen dollars, cash, for specie. Sheep are selling at $1.50 per head, and pork two and a half to five cents per lb. It seems to be well settled that the Pres ident does not obtain much comfort from Gen. Grant, who told him that he thought the feature ot the bill he has just vetoed, which disfranchised rebels, was the best of them all, and for that reason he was opposed to the veto. The decision of the Supreme Court against the constitutionality of the test oath in the case of lawyers, has been promptly followed by the admission of a rebel general to the bar of the Supreme Court. That's the wav treafon is made odious now-a-days. Rejected. The United States Senate ha9 rejected Ex-Gov. Johnston as Collector at the Port of Philadelphia, Joseph. R. Flanigan as Naval officer at the same port, and Ex-Gov. John Bigler as Assessor of Internal Revenue in California. George W. Woodwind, present Chief Jus tice of the Supreme Couri of Pennsylvania, declines a re-election. SensilJe, as he has not yet recovered from the drubbing he re ceived as a candidate for Governor. Count de Bismark bag addressed a Utter to the President of the Lutheran Consistory of Frankfort, which contains some sharp menaces against the ministers of the Gospel who, in their sermons, attack the Government. The official report on the famine in the East Indies shows that there were millions of deaths from starvation. Washington City Gossip. The days of chivalry have-come back to Wash ington. Two "affairs of honor" have occurred here during a week, and more are promised in certain contingencies The first was the crossing of weapons by two newspaper correspondents at tached to leading Xew-YorK newspapers, who were tenacious of their status, but whose blows were without force; for, while the willing canes would gravitate downward naturally, they were restrained by the unwilling arms of the combat ants, and no damage was done. On the twenty first. Delegate Holbrook, of Idaho, made an as sault with a cane upon an inoffensive man named Henry Cummins, also of Idaho-, in -the lobby of Willard's Hotel. The latter was considerably bruised, and. being unarmed, came out second best. The quarrel was a political one. Mr Hol brook being- a Johnson man, and Mr. Cummins, it is said, being a correspondent of some Radical papers. " The Resolution offered in the House of Kepre sentatives bv Mr. Spaulding of Ohio, instructing the Committee on the Judiciary to prepare and report to the House an opinion in writing respect ing the necessity of obtaining any further sanc tion to the Constitutional Amendment than three fourths of the States actually represented, opens an important question. The report of the Com mittee will be awaited with special interest. Five thousand citizens of Western Xorth Caro lina, have petitioned the Housefor the fcrmat'on of a new State or the re-construction of North Carolina on a loyal bais. An important bill was introduced in the House ontheilst by Mr. Williams, and referred to the Judiciary Committee, providing that all cases brought before the Supreme Court, in which is in volved the validity of United States Statutes, or the construction of the Constitution, or the oppo sition of State laws to the Constitution, shall be heard only before a fall bench, and that no deci sion shall be given against any United States statute without the concurrence of all the Judges Objection being made, the House voted to receive the bill-Yeas 101, Nays 39. It may be that here is a way by which a check can be imposed upon the enormous political power now yielded by the Su preme Bench. From the present temper of the majority of the Judges, it is plain that the people to whom power belongs must find some remedy against the encroachments of the judicial au thority. It is not doubted that Gen. Grant is greatly so licitous about the present condition of affairs and that the representations of such officers as Sheri dan, Ueintzleman, Ord and Gilmore, in reference to the disaffected and defiant condition of the rebels, are rapidly bringing him to the opinion that the most radical measures are the wisest and most moderate. The majority of the House was overwhelming on Kasson's bill, making it a felony to sell negroes into servitude who have been guilty of larceny. This andjthe passage of the suffrage bill over the President 8 veto makes the freedmen jubilant. A new draft upon the Treasury is projected in a scheme to constract a railroad through Texas and Mexico to the Pacific, with enormous giants of lands and the issue of Government bonds. The bill for the scheme was introduced by the dele gate from Ariiona. The President has approved the joint resolu tion appropriating $500,000 for the purchase of the lower portion of the City nail Park, in New York, for a Post Office and U. S. Court room. The Chairman of the National Democratic Res ident Committee, in bis address on the night of Jan. 2'Uh, to the meeting which decided to re commend the calling of a national convention used the following language : " For reasons which it is not difficult to understand, the Philadelphia move ment failed to achieve that success which "it at first promised, and which promise seemed suffi cient to justify the experiment then made. We do not believe it expedicpt to repeat that effort under existing circumstances. In the next great battle thus fought, the Democratic party must march under its own colors. We must act in the capacity of principals, and not of mere allies, in viting to our aid, and on an equal footing with ourselves, the few conservative Republicans who stood firmly by us in the late campaign, and the thousands of distrustful Democrats whose suspi cions kept them a'oof " Alas, poor Andy ! 1 he Democracy loved your attempted betrayal of the Republican party.but now they spurn the betrayer The President has signed the bill for the meet ing of tie Fortieth Congress on the 4th of March. It provides that in addition to the present regular times of meeting of Congress, there shall be a meeting of the Fortieth Congress of the United States, and of each succeeding Congress thereaf ter, at 12 o'clock, meridian. on the 4th day of March, the day on which the term begins for which the Congress is elccted.exeept when the 4th of March occurs on Sunday, then the meeting shall take place on the same hour on the next succeeding day. No person who was a member of the previous Congress shall receive any com pensation as mileage for going to or returning from the additional session provided for by the foregoing section. The President has also approved the bill pro viding that the net proceeds of the internal rev enue of the Territories of Nebraska. Washington, ColJtada. Idaho, Montnnd, Arizona, and Dakotah. the nextthree years, be set aside and appropri ated for the purpose of erecting, nnder the direc tion of the Secretary of the Interior, penitentiary buildings in said several territories, at such places therein as have been or may be designated by the Legislature thereof, and approved by the Secretary of the Interior. Leonard IIu;ck, formerly President of the Merchant's National Bank of Washington, was delivered into the custody of the U. S. Marshal, last week, having been arrested in New York, on a reqnisition of the Court of Washington city. Huyck was indicted for the larceny, on April 2d. of thirteen U. S. Bonds, valued at 513,000, the property of D R. McNier, in trust for Mrs. Coyle. The President has pardoned one Guinn. con victed for robbing the United States mail in Massachusetts. The Mayor of Georgetown, District of Columbia, has given notice to all the male inhabitants, both white and black, over twenty-one years of age, to appear before him and the Board of AldermaD, at the time named , for the preparation of the list of voters under the provisions of the late act of Congress regulating the elective franchise in the District of Columbia Of the number of voters registered, the whites but little exceed the blacks. The House had a protracted session on the 27th, if not a very dignified one. Mr. Boutwell re ported from the Judiciary Committee, a bill to meet the contingency created by the late decision of the Supreme Court, declaring unconstitutional the test oath as applied to attorneys practicing in the Courts of the United States. The bill pro vides that no person shall be permitted to act as an attorney or counsellor in any Court of the United States who has been guilty of treason, bribery, murder, or any other felony, or baa been engaged in any rebellion against the government ef the United States, or has given aid, comfort or encouragement to the enemies of the United States in armed hostility thereto. To prevent a vote on this bill, the Democratic members of the House resorted to all sorts of dilatory motions, and thereby protracted the session until 8 o'clock the next morning, when the House took a recess until 11 o'clock. Upon re-assembling a vote was taken, and the bill passed by 109yeas to 42 nays. Now, when it is known that the effect of these disor ganizing movements of the latter-day Democracy is to secure the privilege to the most reckless traitors in the country to practice before the highest eourts of that ' Government which they only recently came so near consigning to a bloody sepulchre, and with the privilege reus secured to sustain the very doctrines overthrown in decisive battle, these extraordinary proceedings will be better understood. This effort of the allies of treason to defeat proper legislation should stimu late the Republicans te stand firm to the interests of the Union, and "prepare them for Be w triumphs, and admonish the people against the danger of ever again confiding power into tba hands of the false Democracy. In the House, on the 27th, Mr. Stevens' enabling bill came up, when everybody expected a speech from Mr. S.,but to the astonishment of the House and the crowded galleries, he rose and simply remarked, that unless he changed his mind he should move, to-morrow, (the 25tb.) to lay his en abling bill on the table. A canvass of the House demonstrated that the bill would be referred to the Committee on Reconstruction, instead of being passed, and he preferred its defeat outright, and by his own motion, to its reference as a mild way of Killing it. It is stated that Representative Shallenberger, of Ohio, is drawing up a new enabling bill for the Southern States. It is based upon the same general principles as the Steven's bill abolishing the present Southern State governments. There is little probability, however, of passing any new reconstruction measure this session, for want of time, and it is likely the whole subject will go over to the Fortieth Coagress. ITotes from Harrisburg. An interesting debate took plaoe in the House, on the 17th on a resolution introduced by Mr. Kimmel, of Indiana county, asking the U. S. Senate to reject the nomination of Edgar Cowan as Minister to Austria. The resolution, after averring that Cowan had betrayed his constitu ents and disregarded his pledges to the peopleof his native State, and declaring that his course in the Senate had received their marked condemna tion, sets forth that "Mr. Johnson seems to have contemplated a direct insult to the freemen of Pennsylvania, and shown his persistent purpose to place the Government in the handsof men who are opposed to the true interests of this nation, foreign and domestic." There was some plain talk on the Republican side ol the House which should make the ears of the Renegade tingle if he was possessed of any sense of feeling and shame. Whatever comfort he may derive from the miserable apologies offered by the Democrats, ou this occasion, be is welcome to enjoy. home of tha editors who have beea talking about fraud and corruption in the election of a United States Senator, have been "brought up with a short turn " The committee appointed by the Legislature to investigate these charges have been bringing some of these gentlemen be fore them, and when put upon their oaths it turns out that they know nothing improper that had been done by any of the candidates or their friends. One Joshua Karnes, who prints a paper at Downingtown, Chester county, was among those iummoned by the committee, and he was not able to testify to a single fact that tended to show cor ruption. It is a great pity that every editor who has been mak'ng these charges h is not been scrv ed in the same way. Whot a "split stick." for example, tho eJitor of the. Clearfield Republican would be in, if put upon the witness stand, .ind asKed to state what he knows ! Though asserting it constantly in his paper, the prediction can safe ly be ventured that the sum total of his knowl edge of corruption relative to the U. S. Senator ship, like that of ethers, would amount to just nothing. Captain N. A. Pefinypacker, member of the Legislature from Chester county, and who served with distinction in many of the hardest fonght battles of the war, has jusi received a brevet of Colonel. This is a worthy compliment to a gal lant soldier. Tho citizens of Adams county are petitioning the Legislature to indemnify them for losses sus tained during the battle of Gettysburg. That they suffered many hardshipsand sustained heavy losses, all are aware, and common justice would dictate that they should be indemnified therefor. If the State is liable for the destruction of their property, the Legislature should provide the meats of payment at once if not, let that body designate who is responsible for the losses sus tained. Governor Curtin, in his last annual message, recommended to the attention of the Legislature, the passage of a general Jury Law, to change the present mode of selecting jurors in the Common wealth. Mr. Humphreys, of Tioga, a few days ago, read in place a bill to meet the recommen dations of Governor Curtin. The first section of this act provides that at the nextgeneral election, the qualified voters of each county shall elect two. Jury Commissioners, but that no electorshall vote for more than one commissioner. The second sec tion provides that the said commissioners shall meet together with the Sheriff twenty days before the first term of Quarter Sessions, each year and succeeding year, and select alternately from the taxables of the county a sufficient number of per sons, to be placed in the wheel, from which the jurors are to be drawn. The pay of the commis sioners is to be the tame as the county commis sioners. In case of sickness, death, or any other cause, the President Judge of the District shall appoint to fill the vacancy. The report that Ex-Governor Curtin intended removing to Lancaster, with ibe expectation of succeeding Mr. Stevens, is contradicted ; and it is authoritatively stated that he will again take up his residence in Bellefonte. RECONSTRUCTION IN GERMANY. The work of "reconstructing" Germanv gels on faster than does ours in America." Every where the hearts of all men are turning to ward Prussia and the magnificent Confede ration magnificent. t l..t i-W7 and outward respect, which is grouping itself aiimt ner , ana oouin lierniany begins t) long to enter that Confederation. Colonel Morrow, a private Secretary to the President, is now charged with having garbled Sheridan's dispatch on the New Orleans riots. Eadical Speech of Gen. Cameron. On Tuesday, Jan. 15th after Simon Cam eron had been elected ITnited States Senator, a large number of citizens of IlarrUburg and strangers, met at the Lochiel House for the purpose of offering him their congratu lations. Mr. Cameron on being introduced addressed his auditors as follows : Gentlemen : Your greeting is very kind and cordial, and I thank you for it. I thank God that in spite ot the slanders my ene mies have repeated, for twenty jears, my fellow citizens who have seen my life from day to day, have always stood yy my side and helped meo repel them. This last struggle ot my political life has ended in victory. I desired this as an answer.to vin dicate my houesty to my children and my friends. I now propose to put these slan ders behind me, and to forget alike,the liars who coined them, and the fact that good men, in some cases by the repetition of them were induced to believe and repeat them. Of the eighty-two Republican members of the Legislature, my friends as5ure me that sixty of them preferred me to any oth er candidate, and would have voted for me, rather than have witnessed my defeat. The character of my supporters is as gratifying to me as their numbers. Any oue, who knows any thin? of our politics, who will rea l the lists of those who voted for me will find names as pure and honorable as that of the purest christian moralist among my ri vals ; and quite as unlikely to listen to any eonupt proposal. Just there I leave the whole matter, putting all falsehoods,and an imosities, rnd prejudices, together under my feet; and I go forward to the honorable du ties to which my native State has called me for the third time. Six years ago I thought that slavery was the strength of the rebellion, and ought to be destroyed without delay. I wished also to arm all black men who would volunteer. Of course I thoutrht that clothing a black man in the American uniform clothed him also with the rights of an American citizen ; and 1 am always sornr to see a black soldier, and reflect that even Pennsylvania denies him the ballot the only weapon whereby he can protect himself. I hope to live to see the word "white" stricken from our own Constitution, and the spirit of caste-, baed upon color, utterly destroyed. The South, however, is more controlled by social influence th in by political princi ples. If you are wise and firm you may pos-ibly educate the rising generation into loyalty, but there is no method of stares manship which will make this generation of the South loyal to the Union and to the Mag. The poison of thirty years cannot be eradicated by the subserviency of the Pres ident, or by the statutes of Conaress. Let us look the truth in the face. The South ern territory is diloyal. The loyal men of to-day must guard their children against an other treasonable rebellion. The Constitu tional Amendments and impartial suffrage will help to do this, but universal amnesty will help to undo it. Of Andrew Johnson I said long ago that he was a traitor to his party, and an enemy of his country, and a Lad man. lie had done many bad things, but nothing worse than offering the offiees of the country to those few unprincipled men who agreed to desert and betray the great Republican or ganization for his patronage. 11 joined the Democratic party long ago. He has a right to give them the offiees, but he has no right to di.-pose of them at auction to weak kneed Republicans. The pauper labor of Europe is again com peting with our labor, and our manufac tures languish for want of protection against it. Pennsylvania needs no assurance of my devotion to her interests in this regard which ii the interet of the whole country. I will continue to labor in season and out of sea son to protect our manufacturers from ruin, and their workmeu from being thrown out of employment, or their watres reduced to starvation point. For I hold that the true welfare of any nation depends on the welfare of its laboring classes. Gentlemen, 1 trust that this is my last po litical struggle. I have nothing more to de sire, and I hope we will all forget the bitter ness the unjustifiable bitterness I think of the late contest. For my part I will try to act as a representative of all the Radical Republican of Pennsylvania, without re gard to past differences or dissensions. With my temperament I cannot forget my friends who have stood by me so nobly, but I will try to forget and forgie the unjust cal umnies, and the political opposition I have experienced. Pennsylvania Items. Jeefersov County. On Sunday night, Jan. 13th, the house of Andrew Vasbinder, of Rose township, was entered, and a trunk containing forty dollars.carried away.
