President Grant, The juint Coramitttee, composed of Sena tor Morton and Representatives James F, Wilson and J. V. L. Pruyn, appointed by Ixtngress to in tot in Gen. Grant of his elec tion as President of the United States, per formed that duty on Saturday last. ' On re ceiving the certificate, the General said : "I can promise the committee that it will .be my endeavor to call around me as assist ants such men only as I think will carry out the principles which you hiye said thecoun try desire to be successful economy, re trenchment, faithful collections of the reve nue and payment of the public debt. If I should fail in my first choice, I shall not at any time hesitate to make a second, or even a third trial, with the concurrence of the oenate,who have the confirming power. I should just as soon remove one of my own appointees as the appointees of my prede cessors; it would make no difference. There u one matter that I might possibly epeac or nere, ami mat is the selection ot a cabinet. I have always felt that it would be rather indelicate to announce or even to consult with the gentlemen whom I thought of inviting; to positions in my cabinet before the .official declaration of the result of the election was made, although I presumed that there was no doubt about what the de claration would be. But after consideration I have come to the conclusion that there is not a man in the country who could In: in vited to a place in the Cabinet, without the friends of some other gentleman making an effort to secure the position; not that there would be any objection to the party named, but that there would be others whom they had set their hearts upon having in the plase. I can tell that from the great num ber of requests which come to me in writing and otherwise for this particular person or that one, from different sets and delegations. If announced in advauce, efforts would be made to change my determination, and therefore I have come to the conclusion not to announce whom I am going to invite to seats in the Cabinet until I send in their names to the Scaate for confirmation. If I say anything to them about it, it will certainly not be more than two or three days previous to sending in their names. I think it well to make a public declaration of this to the committee, so that my intention may be known." Here we have the new President.! do mestic policy clearly foreshadowed. The prominent features of his administration wilt be "economy, retrenchment, the faithful collection of the revenue, and the payment of the public debf," which is in happv ac cord with the temper of the public mind, and will leave an excellent effect on the financial and business interests of the coun try, at koins and abroad. ' . . Eapid Voting, The ITarrisburg Telegraph says that, "the testimony taken before the Legislative Investing Com mittee, establi.-hes that the Philadelphia election officers are exceeding ly smart, and Can beat their country breth ern in taking votes from those who present themselves as voters. It was proven re cently that some one hundred and eighty votes were deposited iu a single hour in oue of the precints, and last week it was again elieited that Jno. M'Kwen,one of the Inspec tors in the Eighth Dhisiuu of the Fourth ward, received owe hundred and sixty fire votts in a single hour, and that too when six different slips were in the bundle and had to be deposited in six different boxes. Voting three tickets per minute, depositing them in six different boxes, hunting up the names on the assessment list, and marking each name with a 'V"on the list, cannot be done by any of our country experts, and we know it to be a simple impo.-ibility. It ii unnecessary to say that the Inspector was a Democrat. Among the one hundred and and sixty-five toics thus polled there were about twenty Republicans returned. Damages Recovered. A case involv ing the right of conductors to ject passen gers from cars, under certain circumstances, was recently tried in the Erie County Court. The case was this: Mr. Taber, a passenger, having neglected to purchase a ticket at the office, the conductor demanded ot him the usual excess charged when fate is taken on the cars, which he refused to pay, in conse quence of which ho was put off tho train. He then brought suit against the company (Philadelphia and Erie), for damages, and the jury awarded him $!46. The case will probably be carried up, as the point is one which should be dt-Guittlv settled. 1 Tub N. Y. Election Frauds. AH the testimony in the New York election fraud cases is iu, and the labors of the Committee are ended. A vast amount of evidence has 1-eeu taken, disclosing a series of frauds and vilinnies, the liko of which has never been dreamed of even by those who were instru mental in exposing the terrible pieture. It is to be hoped that the revelation will in due Congress, at an early day, to provide measures for the prevention of such frauds in the future. Further than this, we pre sume nothing will result from the investiga tion. First Gcn. At the charter election held at Cinghampton, New York, on Tuesday, J. R. Congdon, Republican, was chosen Mayor by 15S over Jabez F. Rice, Demo crat, It is a singular fact, says the Tribune, that the incumbent, Rice, was elected last year by exactly 15 majority. The Repub licans have elected four or five aldermen. The city government, in all its departments, waa Democratic last year, and is this year Republican. State Ei-imoss. The political cam paign ofl $69 will open with the following State elections ; New Hampshire, March 9 ; Connecticut, April 4 ; Rhode I.land, April A Governor is to be chosen in each. Defamation of Hon. John Soott One of the ancient philosophers Pytha goras, we believe, it was coutended that the spirit of animals infused itself into The bodies of men that in the latter could be found something of the lion, the bear, the horse, the sheep, the dog, etc. To what ex tent this theory may be correct, we do not propose at present to discuss. e desire on ly to call attention to the snarling, currish disposition which is constantly being display ed by Democratic editors when they have occasion to speak of one of their political opponents. lte election of Hon. John Scott, to fill the place of Mr. Buckalew in the United States Senate, has lurnished them a new ob ject at which to discharge their invective malignity. They have discovered that Mr. Scott was "utterly unknown out of the " county courts where he formerly practtc ' el" that he is "perhaps a very good man in a case before a justice of the peace" that he has "no experience in legislation " but a single term spent at Harrisburg" that he is the " hoice" of "base and un " scrupulous political intriguers" and, last but not least, that he is a "tool" of Gen. Cameron, who is also stigmatized as a "man who lowers Pennsylvania in the estima " tiou of citizens of other States !" This, we admit is rather an appalling picture to contemplate, and we are not surprised that our cotemporaries of the "coffee-pot" per suasion should feel nervous at the unwonted spectacle. What may influence Democratic journals elsewhere in denouncing Mr. Scott, we do" not undertake to assert; but it is easily to account for the organ of that party in this place reproducing everything derogatory that may be said of him, and also for repeating the stale slanders uttered against Gen. Cam eron. By the defuat of Seymour and Blair last fa!!f the "slate" of certain distinguish ed (?) geDtlea.cn, whose mouth-piece it is known to be, wasadly fractured. L'x-Gov-Bigler's prospects of a Cabinet appoint ment or of a Foreign Mission ; Chairman V allaee's aspirations for the place Mr. Scott now holds;' Representative M'UuIIouru's desire to step into Wallace's eat-off official shoes; and a half dozen other neat little ar rangements that had been decided to the satisfaction of "those whom it concerned," were knocked into the most deplorable look ing "cocked hat" that mortal eye ever be held. This, of itself, was bad enough ; but to have one of the most attractive prizes car ried off by a person never before thought of by an individual "summoned from the depths of obscurity" was an event so to 'illy unexpected (at least to Wallace &, Company,) that some allowance should be made for the extraordinary ebullition of bile which has since then betokened the condi tion of their home organ. But seriously : Was ever a more un warrantable and unjust denunciation of a man indulged in than that which the Demo cratic press has been heaping upon the U nited States Seuator elect? Mr. Scott's pri vate character has always been of the most irreproachable kind ; his personal integrity has ever been "above suspicion ;" and nev er before have Lis superior abilities been called into question. This bis maligners know and appreciate, and it is this that has excited their envy and hatred. But they might as well save their wind ; for the gocd namo of John Scott will live long after "Tray, Blanche an 1 Sweetheart'" will have ceased to give tongue to misrepresentation and abuso of their betters. A Change in Sentiment. "Wc are gratified to observe," 6ays the Telegraph, "that many of our respectable cotem poraries who have taken esj.ecial de light in misrepresenting the action of the Republican members of the Legislature, are beginning to see that it would have been much better if they had ascertained the real facts in the matter. The expenses of the present House of Representatives will be over forty-four thousand dol lars less than it was during former years, and that too when the Democratic party was in power. In addition to all that, the appropriations for different objects, will be about ONE million less than was form erly appropriated, and, notwithstanding this reduction, the appropriation will be libera!. When our friends of the Republi can press see the. e facts wc feel sati.-fied that full credit will be awarded to their Rep resentatives, which has already been done to some extent by the most influential Re publican press of the S'ate."

Harry White is favorably spoken of as a Republican candi date for Governor of this iMate. He was a brave soldier and suffered much in the war, is a man of fine ability, and stands very high for integrity. Bonds and Gold. The Seoate Finance Committee has authorised Senator Sherman to report a bill prohibiting sales of bonds and gold on commission. Buth bonds and gold are to be sold at auction to the highest bidder. Not one of the Republican Senators who voted against the impeachment of Andrew Johnson has as yet been able to secure a reelection. "Washington City Gossip. The counting of the votes on Wednesday the 10th, drew to the House of Representa tives a larger crowd than Bince tha memora ble day of the passage of the impeachment resolutions. Every available space was filled, and hundreds could not get in. At 12 o' clock the House was called to order, and a few minutes before 1 p. m. the members of the Senate were anuounced, entered the hall in the customary order, and took their seats to the right of the Speakers Mr. Wade in the chair. Senator Conklin and Represnta tives Wilson (of Iowa) and Pruyn, were elec ted tellers. Business began by Mr. Conklin reading in full the official certificates of New Hampshire, which formula was afterwards dispensed with, by motion, and only the summarized results were given in each case. The votes of fifteen States were announ ced, and then came Louisiana, to which Mr. Mullins, of Tennessee, the butt of the House, at once objected. A dozen of per sons were on their feet in an instant, with points of order,, and a dozen more were about Mullins trying to persuade him to withdraw his objection. Mr. Wade, as in duty bound, declined to entertain any points of order, and Mr. Mullins declined to with draw his objections, declaring that "he was going to make them 'era Senters go back to their own end of the Capitol." 'Wbereup on the Senate, according to twenty-second joint resolution, withdrew tc its own cham ber to decide what should be their action. Both bodies decided by considerable majori ties to proceed with the count. On the re assembling of the joint convention all went well until the name of Georgia was announ ced, when Mr. Butler objected to its recep tion. To obviate any difficulty in regard to the vote of this State being announced, a joint resolution had been passed by the two Houses, on Monday, that the total vote should be stated with and without the vote of Georgia. Under this resolution, Mr. Wade refused to entertain Mr. Butler's objections to the reading of the vote of Georgia, and accompanied his decision with raps of his gavel to preserve order. The scene that followed beggars description. Gen Butler demanded to be heard. Senator Wade rap ped, and growing more angry as he did so, declared that the Chair would hesr uothing. Fifty-seven at once tried to address the Chair. Senators could be heard telling Mr. Wale to goon with the count, Jtc. Shouts of "order" made the disorder more turbulent. General Butler's voice rose above the diu of of Mr. Wade's gavel, appealing from the Chair's decision, and declaiming with fierce and electric effect that the lights of the House were bing invaded and trampled un derfoot. Mr. Wade still continued to beat the desk, and declare that the Chair would entertain no appeal, and that nothing was in order but the announcement of Geor gia's vote.- Messrs. Ingersoll, Bromwell, and Farnsworth of Illinois, got into tho me lee, and Mr. Dickey, of Lancaster, made himself both heard and seen effectively in support of General Butler. The latter was the valiant ccutre of an excited group, and memories of Cromwellian purges and Jaco bioian furors came ci owding to the mind, as the eye took in the intensely exciting aud dramatic scene. When the turmoil was at its height, Mr. Wade, rapping more angrily, Senators grow ing more and more excited, Representatives appearing each moment more like the "con fusion worse confounded," Mr. Butler, throw ing his head back, shouted out, giving point to his words by unconsciously turning up his cuffs "that this tyranny could not be sub mitted to; that the rights of the House could not thus be tnmpled upon." The disorder reached its climax here. The Speaker came to Mr. Wade's rescue by directing the arrest of members who diso beyed the orders of the presiding officer. The House sank into sudden quiet. Mr. Conkling proceeded to read the returns. Mr. Wade announced the final result, one which marks a new era, and then in eager words, as if too glad to get away to note the words he used, declared that the Joint Conven tion having adjourned, would proceed to the Senate Chamber. This was so absurdly apt that the House broke into uproarious laugh ter, in the midst of which the Senate with but little order or less dignity, left the hall. It remained in its own chamber long en ough to adjourn. Several were in the House afterwards. While Gen. Butler's pugnacity created the disagreement, Senator Wade's want of tact at the time gave it serious as pect. After the Senators had retired, the floor of the House was cleared of strangers, whereupon Mr. Butler introduced a resolu tion declaring "that thecountiog of the vote ot Georgia by order of the Vice President was a gross act of oppre-sioo and invasion of the rights and privileges of the House." This resolution elicited au animated debate, and, after a disca.-sion of three days, was laid on the table by the deei.sivc vote of 120 to 60. So the fight is at an end, and the House has partially retrieved its honor. Appropriation Bill. -Through the in dustry of the Hon. George Wilson, Chair man, and Hon. Thos. Nicholson, Secretary of the Committee uu Ways and Means, the appropriation bill was reported to the House last week. Heretofore the bill was general ly reported about the first day of March. The committee, therefore, have this year acted more promptly and reported the same some three weeks earlier in order to give all the members iiroper time for a full exami nation of the bill, and to prepare such a tnendmentsas they may see fit to offer. The bill as reported makes the expenses of the present House some fifty thousand dollars less than in former years, and the general appropriations are reduced about one mil lion of dollars. The promptness which this committee has displayed proves conclusively that the allegations made against them by the press generally are fal.se in toto oth erwise their report would have been with held until the last day, and then rushed through the House without proper examin ation. leUgntph. The largest man on record in modern times was Miles Darden, a uative of North Caro lina, born in I7i3. He was seven .feet and six inches high. At his death, in 1837, he weiged over 1,000 pounds. : Legality of Legal-Tenders. The Supreme Court affirms the sover eignty of the States, in their unimpaired right to levy and collect their domestic tax es in such forms as they may desire for their advantage. It was, consequently, held that no Federal act could compel a State to ac cept greenbacks from its tax-payers in place of gold or silver. This decision will chal lenge a wide and free criticism, not so much for what it affirms as for what it fails to af firm. We leave that line of commentary to the lawyers ; the journalists will accept the judgment ouly as a settled fact, and treat of it accordingly. It seems that State rights have not yet become altogether mythical. This judicial proof that such rights yet exist, goes to support an idea, which generally prevails, that when the progress of centralization shall have obliterated every other trace of the old barriers, visiouary or real, between the Federal power and the especial privile ges of each separate State, the Supreme Court will be found the last and strong re treat of local sovereignty. This decision justifies every State of the thirty-seven in the abstract right to disre gard the legal-tender act iu the collection of its taxes. Stat nominis umbra! The con cession is unqualified, and upon its face a sweeping assault upon Federal supremacy. But, in fact, it amounts to just nothing at all, for not one ofthe thirty three or thirty-four Stales, in which the production of the precious metals is not the leading inter est, will ever hasten to avail itself of the right thus proclaimed. Until a general specie-resumption, the States wdl be found ac quiescent, as now, in a paper circulating medium for public as well as private use. Indeed, if the question of resumption were to be solved by State authority alone, that period would be still more remotely post poned. Ye conclude that this decision shows just about the farthest point to which the Court will advance in its judgment upon the legal tender laws. This is probably the utmost judicial restriction upon their validity. In the decrees yet to be promulgated at this term, there may be drawn still other fine distinctions; there will le clippings on this side and parings on that, and the Judges will show a marvellous ingenuity in skir mishing all around the outworks without aiming a blow at the essential principle in trenched in the heart ofthe law. l'ittsburg Gazette. An Ex-Postmaster in Trouble. Da vis II. Mi.-simer, late postmaster at Potts town, one of Johnson's appointees, is under $2,500 bail f)r his appearance before the U. S. Court on a charge of embezzlement. The facts upon which the charge rest are these : A short time since a draft was re ceived by the Pjtmaster at Philadelphia, from the Postmaster General, for $794 5S, on Davis II. Missimer, as the amount of deficiency in his account, and Postmaster Bingham was directed to collect the money, that defendant was notified of the fact, but paid no attention to it. Upon the sureties of the ex Postmaster being threatened with suit, they paid the amount over to the Post Office Department. The counsel for Mr. Missinmer argued that the act of the sure ties relieved him from liability to prosecu tion ; but Mr. Valentine, on behalf ofthe United States, thought that it diduot, and the L'ommisaioner coiuciding with him, he held the accused for appearance in the sum above stated. Mr. Johnson'sinalignity seems to increase as the days for its exercise approach their end. His latest performance is to attempt the removal of Mr. Lincoln's Private Secre tary from the Paris Consulate, to which he was appointed shortly before the assassina tion. The effort is of no consequence, save as an exhibition of the Presidential temper. Of course, neither this nor any of the other new nominations sent in to the Senate will be apt to receive any consideration. Mrs. Surratt's Remains In compli ance with the solicitations of the friends of Mrs. Surratt, the President has ordered the remains to be disinterred and delivered to her relatives. Her body was buried in the same inclosure with that of Paine, Atzer oth and Harold, near the place of interment of Booth'o remains. The understanding is that there will be no public demonstrations, and that whatever funeral services take pla e shall be privately conducted. The Israelite, the organ of the Jews at Cincinnati, in a late issue, makes the fol lowing st rikingly significant suggestion : "In order that we ru:y have a day of rest, a real Sabbath, which can be observed by all Israel, we propose to adopt that day which is set apart by hundreds of millions, nay the whole civilized world, for physical rest and the worship of God. Let our prayers and thanks giving with theirs ascend to His throne on the same day, Sunday." Cu BA- Notwithstanding ihe large re-iu-forccmcnts for the Spani.-h army in Cuba, the Captain General has been compelled to withdraw thereirular troops from the strong est fortress in Havana, and to supply their place by volunteers, in order to strengthen the Spanish force at Cienfuegos, which is seriously threatened by the insurgents. Facts like this prove that the revolution in Cuba is still alive and unsubdued. The appropriations for carrying on the government are gradually becoming exhaust ed. The appropriations for the fiscal year will create sad havoc among the Treasury clerks. At the end of June next the cleri cal force in the Third Auditor's office will be reduced one hundred. General Grant recently took occasion to rebuke the attempt to create a breach be tween himself and the Republican party, aud remarked that after Andrew Johnson's attempt aud failure, no one but a madman would repeat it. The pardon of Dr. Mudd was sigued by the President, and sent to the Secretary of State for his signature.
