fc Vallandigham Speaks. ;
The following extract from Vallandig
baui's late letter to the New . York Day
Book, U worthy the careful consideration of
the few soldieTS who still identify themselves
" with the Latter-day Democracy :
'"I see that some one proposes a naval and
a military hero as Democratic and Con
servative candidates for President and Vice
President, in 1S6S. This is cool ! 1 'guess'
that the next candidates of the Democratic
party for these offices will be true and tried
Democratic statesmen."
Wonder if .Mr. ( Vallandigham has any
reference to his own military career in Dixie
and Canada ? If so, what are his chances
as a ''true and tried Democratic statesman,"
or as "a naval or military hero," of being a
candidate for either President or Vice Pres

The Gift Gasibuxq Mania. The re
cent heavy gift enterprise schemes and swin
dles have done immense mischief through
out the country. Tens of thousands of per
sons who would have deemed it wrong to
purchase tickets in regular lotteries, or to
hazard a farthing on a dice board or at a fa
ro bank, have been patrons of these "gift
enterprises," and, have acquired a taste for
gambling,and are likely to continue to invest
in "chances" to their great detriment. As
a rule, the getters up and managers of these
"gift concerts" and "enterprises" are the
very worst class of swindlers, and the offi
cers of the law should put a stop to their
operations. fc If there are no statutes appli
cable, the Legislature should apply the rem
edy. - Repentant. A New York letter says :
"The next political movement here i9 the
return of the Johnson conservatives of this
State to the Republican fold. The contempt
ible finale, ef the Wigwam movement at
Philadelphia, the utter tergiversation and
untruthfulness, not to say disloyalty, ot Mr.
Johnson, the whole-souled abhorence and
detestation of the Administration by the
people, have operated to reduce the conser
vatives to the mere skeleton of a party.
They must return to the bosom of the Re
publican party, or go out of sight, and have
accordingly determined to adopt the former
alternative. They are to propose no condi
tions of fusion, but to come in and out as
before."
A Palpable Hit. A Richmond paper
thinks that if the present generation of New
England public men had been more soundly
flogged when they were school boys, they
would probably have been better men. The
Springfield Republican happily retorts : "If
the present race of Southern leaders had
been flogged at all in their boyhood, instead
of amusing themselves by flogging young
darkies, we should not hare been under the
painful necessity of flogging them in their
old age, and we fear the job is not yet half

Wealth of Pennsylvania. The pro
duct of coal in this State fur the year 1866
is estimated in round cumbers at 16,000,000
tons, representing a market value of about
$30,000,000. The quantity of petroleum
produced during the fame period, is estima
ted afnearly 90,000,000 of gallons, valued
at $47,210,379. The product of pig iron was
646,268 tons, valued at $31,020,824.. The
combined value of these three products for
the jear was $15S,231,20S.
Interesting to Whisky Drinkers.
John and Patrick McCullough, of St. Clair,
Schuylkill county, had a hearing a few days
ago on the charge of distilling and selling
whisky without a Government license. A
sample of the article made was obtained,
and it is said that among the materials used
in its manufacture were molasses and horse
manure. What a palatable beverage that
must be 1 ' t ' .
Dear Sheep. -An eastern exchange says
that .Victor Wright of Middle burg, Vt,
sold 12 ewes to a western party for $12,000
one thousand dollars each ; Ed. Stow el of
the same place sold a ram lamb for $2,000 ;
and E. Hammond sold a ram for $1,000,
that he purchased a year ago for $150. The

A Change op Tactics. There is to be
an election for collector of the District of
Columbia, in June next a most important
and lucrative oiice and the politicians down
there, it is said, have ceased ridiculing the
colored men, now that they have a vote.' It
is astonishing how much the ballot has done
to improve the negro in their estimation.

Report of the Investigating Committee. .
- Our readers will remember that, at the
time of the election of. United States Sena
tor, much was said in certain classes of news
papers in Pennsylvania, about fraud and cor
ruption in connection with 6aid election,and
the appointment ot a joint comnatteeby the
Legislature to investigate the charges made.
The Committee have just made their report,
which is as follows :
The undersigned, a committee appointed
under a joint resolution by the Legislature,
passed January 8th, A. D. 1867, and charg
ed with the duty of investigating alleged im
proper influences in .connection with the elec
tion of a United States Senaton on the 15th
ult., report the following as the result of
their investigation in the premises .
On the day upou which the conimittee was
appoiuted, tliey met-and organized, and at
once proceeded to the examination of wit
nesses. The committee continued to meet
from -day to day until all the witnesses, sug
gested to them, had been examined.
They then gave a general invitation to any
person to appear before the committee, and
give sueh information as ho might pos.se.ss
touching the fcubject under inquiry, and af
ter waiting tome ten days or more (nc one
appearieg,) the committee ceased their Lt
bnrs. t
No evidence was produced to implicate
any member ot this legislature m ine al
leged corrupt ion, nor were any of the distin
guished persons named in connection with
the office ot United States Senator in any
manner therein involved. ; ;
The evidence in detail taken by the com
mittee is herewith presented for the infor
mation of the two Houses. ' All of which is
respectfully submitted.', ' ' -F.
S. Stumbaugh, ; J. N. Marks, j
L. Westbrook, Com. on part of House.
M. B. Lowry, T. B. SEARiomv
J. L. Graham, Com. on part of Senate.
It will be observed that, according to the
report, the committee have been unable to
discover any evidence " whatever which im
plicates any one with using improper in
fluences in connection with the 0. S. Sena
torship.notwithstanding the frequent charges
ot bribery and corruption. The committee
proceeded to examine quite a number of wit
nesses suggested to it, (soma of whom were
brought before it by an officer,) but not being
able to elicit any evidence from those wit
nesses, to implicate any one, they (the com
mittee) gave a general invitation to all who
professed to know all about the frauds to ap
pear and testify; but no one appeared.
Now, the fair inference ;s, that all this great
cry of bribery and corruption was false, and
unwarranted. That such charges should be
indulged in by the , Copperhead papers, is
but natural; but that refpectable Repub
lican journals should make such unguarded
AsauIU! upon motiiYxiri of tlieir own party,
without the shadow of a fact to sustain their
onslaught, is, to say the least, uncalled for ;
and, we hope, the like may not occur again.
But, while we say this much by way of ad
monition, we do not wish to be understood
as desiring to shield wrong doing. By no
means ! We are now, and have always been,
in tavor of punishing evil:doers, whether
they profess to adhere to the Republican
party or not. But, our motto is, "be sure
you are right and then go ahead" other
wise "hold your peace." False accusations
can only accrue to the advantage of our po
litical opponents.
A Just Opinion.
Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, in the course of
his testimony before one of the Congres
sional Investigating Committees, recently,
gave the following just and patriotic opinion :
"I believe that Milligan was properly con
victed. I am of the opinion that a true ex
position of the law ot this country, and of
every other civilized country of the globe
justifies me in saying that trials, convictions
and sentences, by military triLunals,are per
fectly legal. I do not think the decision in
the Milligan case is justified by any princi
ple of law recognized by any civil Govern
ment on earth. It is wholly inconsistent
with the protection of persons in military
service, or with the prefer nation of
peace and safety in any State insurrection."
"Law is the perfection of reason," asMy
Lord Coke clearly proved, and Mr. Stanton
is sufficiently gifted with that perfection to
see the truth on the subject of military au
thority ia time of a terrible civil war, and
in time ot conspiracies to aid the rebellion.
Everybody knows that no conviction of a
conspirator could have' been secured in any
Indiana civil Court ; and all those who be
lieve that it is better to crush a conspiracy
in tiiue of war before it has ripened into
armed resistance to the Government, are
convinced ot the truth of what Mr. Stanton
says. All except those whs heartily desired
the success of the rebels.concur in his views:
In OR Out. The following colloquy, says
the Belief onte Press, recently occurred be
tween a noisy copperhead politician and a
quiet, observing Republican. If hits the
nail on the head, and is too good to be lost:
Cop I demand to know,sir, if the States
lately. in rebellion are in the Union or out ot"
the Union ? Just answer me that if you will.
Republican The question is well illustra
ted in your own personal history. Four
years ago you united with the church here ;
and, if I am rightly informed,you have been
rather a hard member to manage ; and late
ly charges have been preferred against you
tor downright misconduct, and you have
been suspended until your case can bo ex
amined, and your fitness for membership de
termined. . Now, sir, I demand to know
whether you are in the church or out of the
church?
The Cop vamosed the ranche forthwith,
and asked no question ot that Republican
since.
The Catholics of Erie have organized a
temperence society, the membership in
which is to be confined to adherents of the
church.
Another Be w Plan.
The rumors that have been afloat for sev
eral days, that the President had agreed to
harmonize with Congress on the reconstruc
tion question,, seems to have been well
founded; The. Senate, on Friday pro
tracted its session nearly all night, and on
Saturday "determined,, to pass a reconstruc
tion bill before adjourning. With this de
termination in view, and it being apparent
that the House bill could not be passed, a
committee was appointed to draft something
upon which Ithe majority: could unite. i Tlie
result was a bill, "drawn up by Mr. Sherman,
which embodies' the pro visions ofthe mili
tary bill of the House, with the Blaine
amendment incorporated therein it being
understood the President would sign such a
bill if passed. The bill is as follows: ' ' '
Whereas, No Iegnl State governments or
adequate protection for life or property now
exists in the rebel States of Virginia, North
Carolina, South Curolina,Gcorgia,Alabama,
Louisiana. Florida, Texas and Arkansas ;
And U'llEitEAS. It is necessary that peace
and good order . should be enforced in said
States until loyal and Republican State Gov
ernments can be legally established ; there
fore, . . . ( .
Be it enacted, tf-c, That said rebel States
shall be divided into military districts and
made subject to the military authority of the
United States as hereafter prescribed, and
for" that purpose Virginia shall constitute
the first district ; North Carolina and South
Carolina the second district ; Georgia, Ala
bama and Florida, the third district ; Mis
sissippi and Arkansas the fourth district ;
Louisiana and Texas the fifth district '
Section 2. That it shall be .the duty of
the President to assign to the command of
each of said districts an officer of the army
not below the rank of Brigadier General and
to detail a sufficient military force to enable
such officer to perforin his duties and enforce
his authority within the district to which he
is assigned. '
Section 3. That it shall be the duty of
each officer assigned as aforesaid to protect
all persons in their rights of person and
property, to suppress insurrection, disorder
and violence, and to punish or cause to be
punished, all disturbers of the public peace,
and criminals, and to this end he may allow
local civil tribunals to take jurisdiction of
and try offenders, or when in his judgment
it may be necessary for the trial of offenders
he shall have power to organize military
commissions or tribunals for that purpose,
and all interference under color of State au
thority with the exercise of military author
ity under this act shall be null and void.
Section 4. That all persons put under
military arrest by virtue of this act shall be
tried without unnecessary delay,and no cruel
or unusual punishment shall beinflicteJ,arid
no sentence of any military commission oi
tribunal hereby authorized affecting the lifet
or liberty ot any person shall be executed
until it is approved by the officer in com-i
mand oft' the dtutnefc. and the laws and TVfir-i
ulations for the government ot the -army
shall not be effected by this act, except in soj
far as they may conflict with its provisions.!
Section 5. That when the people of any1
one of said rebel States shall have form
ed a Constitution of government in conform
ity with the Constitution of the United
States in all respects, framed by a Conven
tion of delegates elected by the persons who
may vote upon the ratification or rejection
thereof, as hereinafter provided ; and when
said Constitution so framed shall have been
ratified by a majority of the male citizens of
said State, twenty-one years old and upward,
of whatever race, color, or previous condi
tion of servitude, who may have been resi
dent in said State for one year previous to
the day of voting on the question of ratify
ing such constitution, except such as may
be disfranchised for participating in the re
bellion or for felony at common law, and
when such constitution shall provide that
the elective franchise shall be employed by
all such persons that have the qualification
hereiu stated, and shall have been submit
ted to Congress for examination and appro
val, and Congress shall have approved the
same ; and when said State by a vote of its
Legislature,e!ected under said Constitution,
shall have adopted the amendment to the
Constitution cf the United States, proposed
by the Thirty-ninth Congris.s, and known as
article 14; and when said article shall have
become a part of the Constitution of the
United States, said State shall be declared
entitled to representation in Congress, and
Senators and representatives shall be ad
mitted therefrom on their taking the oath
prescribed by law, and then and thereafter
tho preceding sections of this bill shall be
inoperative in said State.
The Senate continued in session until C
o'clock on Sunday morning, at which hour
it passed the above bill by a vote of 3'J to 10.
On Monday the House was crowded to
overflowing, to witness the struggle on the
so-called "Senate Reconstruction Bill. "
When the bill was presented Mr. Stevens
moved to "non-concur in it," and a general
debate followed Mr. Stevens and Mr. Bout
well opposing it, while Messrs. Blaine.Bing
ham, Wilson, Farnsworth and Baker favor
ed it. The , Democrats did not participate
in the debate, but voted with Stevens and
twenty-five other Republicans against order
ing die previous question, when a recess
took place for dinner. At the evening ses
sion it was agreed to take a vote on the bill
on Tuesday. It was thought the bill could
be passed by fifteen majority.
Mr. George Peabody, the great philan
thropist, has made another munificent be
quest of over $2,000,000. The reasons
which Mr.' Peabody gives for his last great
act of philanthropy are worthy of his benev
olent mind. He provides a fund for educa
tion among the young of the more destitute
portions of the South and South West, of
which fund such men as R. C. Winthrop,
Bishop Mcllbane, Hamilton Fish, Wm. F.
Evarts and Gen. Grant are appointed Trus
tees. No invidious partiality impairs the
valae of this muninoenee. Mr. Peabody
declares his purpose that "the benefits in
tended shall ce distribnied among the en
tire population without other distinction
than their needs." This will not please all
of those whom Mr. Peabody rightly and
nobly intends to benefit, but it gives a uni
versality to his goodness of which his native
land may well feel proud.

A few words on the fish question may not
be amiss. CoL James Worrall, the Com
missioner appointed to devise apian for the
construction of dams on the Susquehanna
so as to give free' passage to fishup the riv
er, has just submitted to the public, in ad
dition to his regular report, a paper, accom
panied by the Massachusetts report on fish
eries, which contains some wholesome truths.
Col. Worrall says: "Our law is, as far as I
can see, sufficiently explicit in its provisions;
but if you want fish those provisions must
be enforced, and their enforcement depends
upon the people? Piratical fishing must be
stopped. If after the.fish get through our
fish-ways', .and deposit their spawn above
the dams, and when the poor little shad fry
are making their way to the sea they shall
be caught in fish baskets and sold by the
bushel, how are we ever to get shad back to
the river? Our law is sufficient to prevent
this now, if the people along the river will
take the thing in hand and prevent this
wholesale murder. Now, I give the peo
ple due and timely notice that much de
pends upon ' themselves, it the plans we
have adopted should prove such as to admit
the fish above Columbia. It is well known
that shad don't take much pains to go be
yond the grounds where they have been
spawned, but to get these grounds they will
work with irrepressible instinct. Then
catch a few and place them alive above the
dams, so that their progeny may learn the
fish-way refrain from taking fish the fi rst
year or two and do away with the murder
ous fish basket, and we will eventually have
our fish back." ' It is to be hoped that
the people along the Susquehanna river,
and its . tributaries, will give this subject
due and timely consideration, and that the
suggestions of CoL Worrell will be acted
upon as the most efficient and speedy means
again seeing our waters alive with shad.
Last week, a bill was passed by the Legisla
ture, creating the office of Assistant District
Attorney in Allegheny county. John W.
Riddall, Esq., has been appointed to fill the
the office.
The report of Thomas H. Burrowes, Su
perintendent of Soldiers' Orphans, states
that during the past year four new schools
have been established, and three additional
schools now required, will be organized as
soon as possible. - There have been admit
ted during the year, 1,575 children, and the
total number of scholars on the 1st of De
cember was 2,653, of which 1,591 were boys
and 1,007 girls. These are all cared for un
til ti.o ago of sixteen, when they are dis
charged, being judged competent at that age
to do something towards earning a liveli
hood. The total expenses of the system
for the year ending November 30 was $30$,
149 26, which is a small sum, when we con
sider the benefits which are derived from it.
The bill authorizing the Pittsburg and
Connelsville railroad company to complete
its line to tho State.' of Maryland, and its
connection with the Southern Pennsylva
nia road, whenever practicable, or, in other
words, to restore the charter of said compa
ny which was underhandedly repealed in
1864, came up in the Senate on the 15th and
was defeated by a vote of 13 ayes to 17 noes.
The friends of the road, up to the time of
taking this vote, were pretty sanguiue of the
passage of a bill restoring its franchises, in
some shape, by the present Legislature ; but
the motion of Mr. Connell to rc-consider
the vote being indefinitely postponed by the
Senate, effectually debars the present bill
from being again considered at this session.
The repeal of the charter of the Connels
ville road, iu 1864, was a great and almost
irreparable wrong and fraud upon the peo
ple of that section of Pennsylvania. They
had already expended a large amount of
money in constructing and putting ih suc
cessful operation some fifty miles of their
road, besides the expenditure of large sums
in tunneling the Allegheny mountain per
haps the largest tunnel in the United States
and which retarded the completion of the
road long ere this. Justice to an enterprising
and suffering people, and the great coal and
iron wealth that lies undeveloped for want
of transportation facilities, demand the res
toration of the charter of the Connelsville
company if not by this Legislature, it is to
be hoped by the next
The Standing Committee of the Senate,
to whom was referred Mr. Bigham's Gener
al Railroad Bill, have reported a bill, but it
differs widely from that offered by Mr Big
ham the original one being so surrounded
by amendments, by the Committee, as to be
scarcely recognizable therein. Some of the
amendments are important, and would an
swer a good purpose, providing they would
apply to all alike. But this they do not.
For instance : the individual liability clause
is an important feature, but it only affects
such roads as would be built under this bill;
and hence, the virtual tendency of the
amendments made by the Committee, is to
discriminate greatly in favor of existing
roads, and to render the present bill nrac-
tically inoperative, should it even become a I
law.
Another important, but rather dangerous,
railroad bill . was passed by the Senate, un
der a suspension of the rules without being
printed. But its real object was discovered,
when the attempt was made to pass it
through the House, in the manner in which
it passed the Senate. The bill is entitled
'an act to repeal an act entitled, 'a further
supplement . to the act incorporating the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, authori
zing an increase of capital stock and to
borrow, money,' approved tjie 21st day of
March, 1866, to authorize the Pennsplvania
Railroad Company to increase its capital
stock, to Issue bonds and secure the same
by mortgage. ' ' Upon an analysis' of the bill,
it was manifest that under it the. Pennsyl
vania company would acquire unlimited
powers and privileges to issue bonds and
borrow money. To give any corporation
such unrestricted powers would be danger
ous to the future prosperity of the State,
as it would enable such corporate body to
override all competition, at its will. It is
not likely, however, that the House will so
far forget the interests of the people at
large, as to pass the bill.
Handsomely Done. Gen. Sheridan,
says the New York Commercial, sent, a few
days ago, to Miss Rebecca Wright of Win
chester, Va., an elegant gold watch and ex
quisitely wrought chain, a brooch and charms.
The brooch is of gold, beautifully wrought
into a gauntlet and set with pearls. One of
the cnarms is a sword set with very valuable
diamonds. '. Accompanying this magnificent
gift was an autograph letter from Gen. Sheri
dan, acknowledging Miss Wright's services,
which led to the General's success at Win
chester in the battle of the 19th September,
1864. Miss Wright was a young quakeress
well known for her faith in a united nation
ality,and understood to be willing to aid the
cause at any sacrifice. When Gen. Sheri
dan was in great doubt how to act he sent a
scout to the lady, who, writing upon a slip
of paper which she enclosed in tinfoil, di
rected it to be placed in the mouth that it
mignt escape the enemy's search, and thus
furnished the information that enabled the
General to achieve his victory. '

By the following paragraph from the Mo
bile Times it appears that the obstructions
placed in the harbor to protect the city from
the U. S. gunboats, now expose the ship

have been swept away,and to-day our whole
shipping is exposed to perpetual dangers.

heard his case was sympathetic, and accor
dingly the murderer, one of the cowardliest
it appears, was released forthwith.
