Hon. Lot M. Morrill was rc elected Mul
led State Senator, on Tuesday, January
ISth, from Maine.
Tt is announced that a Mr. Itivel.a negro,
wss elected to the United Sutea Senate froiii
Mississippi, last week.
The Senate bill re-admitting Viginia to
the Union, wu passed in the Iljuse on
Monday, by a vote of 13a to 43.
A resolution was introduced into the
Pennsylvania Senate, on Thursday last, fix
ing March 17th, as the day for final adjourn
ment. They have a smart Democratic organ out
in Illinois the Clark connty Mrtitnqer. It
nominates Hon. S. S. Marshall for Presi
dent in 1S72. Ol course everybody kuws
Mr. Marshall.
A morning paper, in its Congressional re
port.says that "3Ir. Pra.t purcd off." There
is no Senator who would bear "paring off"
any better th'n Mr. Prutt, whose average
overdupots is said to be 350 poumli.
The Woman's Suffrage Convention, in
ees-ilon at Washington, on Thursday la-it
passed a resolution in favor of a Sixteenth
or Universal Suffrage amendment to the
Constitution. The Democracy should keep
a unarp eye on tueni euaps, as tii-jy are
after another amendment.
Mr. Plumb, our Consul General to Caba,
has returned, and give? it as his opinion,
that unless the Spaniards succeed in cru-h-ing
the rebellion within three months, the
Government will be compelled to recognize
the independence of the people. He thinks
that the yellow fever will be the best ally of
the Cubans next summer.
The ratification of the Fifteenth amend
rueut being a fixed fact, the Democracy are
already "billing and eooing" the heretofore
much detested "niggers' ' by styling them
4 'our colored brothers. " Alas, poor Deui oe
racy ! Jim thou so soon forsaken thy first
love the white man's party to "amalga
mate" with the despised sons of Africa?
The lowir branch of the Rhode Inland
legislature passed a resolution on Tuesday,"
January I Sth, ratifying the Fifteenth amend
ment, by a vote of 57 to 9. The Senate
passed the resolution last June. Only two
tuore States are wanting to make the amend
stents pirt of the Constitution, and four
wore are almost certaiu of giving their assent.
Tt is said the Pope is provi-is tired of the
Council, which is not a absolutely under
his control as he thought it would be. Over
three hundred of the Fathers refused to
sign in favor of the dogma of infallibility,
ud others returned evasive answers so
that, should it eventually be carried in Couu
cil, there will be a largo minority against it.
The New York goM linkers, who recently
got iulo tiuuoie by neglecting to pay a tax
on all sales, whether on their own behalf or
in the interest of others, have given up the
fight against Commissioner Delano, and are
prying up the just dues of the Government.
By this decision of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, it is estimated that ten mil
lions of doihi will be added to the Govern
ment. Kentucky was convulsed week before last,
irow. centre to circumference. The occasion
aa an acrimonious debate in her Legisla
ture, upon the question whether a proposal,
for the special exemption from the peddler' i ,
tax of a confederate soldier who had lost
both eyes at Chickamauga, should be so
amended as to include a Union soldi er who
lost his eyes on the same Geld. The amend
ment killed the original motion, and Ken
tucky mothers once more hushed their babes
ta sleep.
Verily, worJi lose their significance and
take ou ludicrous meanings now-a-days.
II ere comes a Mr. Ward, of the '"Reform"
delegation from Cincinnati, and introduces
a bill into the Ohio Legislature to prohibit
Bible reading and hymn singing in the pub
lic schools of that State. The reflecting
reader may be tempted to ask where the
Work of "reform" is to end. Shall we not
sect have a proposition to expunge from
.our school books all selections embracing
be ethjes of Christianity, on the plea that
cueit teachings are adverse to the growth of
eomcthing ajjd the views of somebody.

Mr. Swoope's Appointment.
We are glad to see that tho appointment
of Mr. Swoope an U. S. Di.-trict Attorney,
is cordially endowed by the entire Republi
can press of the State. Among tho highly
complimentary notices of the appointment,
there have been none more gratifying to Mr.
Swoope's friends than that of the "Altoona
Sun," Democratic. Coming from Mr. D.
W. Moore, who has known him fo long, who
has during all that time been hi. p .litical
ad versary, aud whose former position as
Agent of the Postoffice Department makes
him thoroughly familiar with ail that is re
quired in this office, it is a most valuable en
dorsement. It does credit to Mr. Moore.as
well as to Mr. Swoope. We give it entire :
u. b. swoorE. ESQ., cy ciearfield.
The appointment of this gentleman as U.
S. Di.-trict Attorney for the VVestfru District
of 1'euusylvatiia, to succeed li. J. Carnaiiau,
the proseut iueuiiibent, wliose term expired
on t!ie 15th inst., is.we are pleaded t-ay.uue ol
the litest tilings President Gi ant has yet per
tormcd. Mr. S. is in the vigor of lite and
possesses talents of a very htipcrior order,
an t ln.ilel'uct rs will liuJ linn never wanting
either in energy or i :;. eiiiiity ti circumveiit
thei: schemes. The duties ii the i liii-e huve
wjrideil'ul.y inc.easctl in thi. itbtrict under
the present revenue laws, and t lie bu.-inesN
now transacted iu t he United States District
and Circuit courts in the Western is nearly
if not quite equal to that of the Eastern dis
trict; whereas, previous to the war, there
was no comparison between the two. It
used to be scarcely worth attending to., and
lawyers tf proper qualilications only accepted
the portion for tiie honor it conferred.
iow it is quite lucrative, aud as the la
borer is worthy of his hire, if it fitting that
Mr. Swoope Ki.ould have it. lie has been a
fuitht'ul worker iu the radical ranks, ntid be
yond all question among their most effective.
Tliat he has' failed to arrest the onward
inarch of democracy at his own home in
Clcarlieid, is no fault, of his. lie has laboi
ed long and hard for it. The hard headed
lumbermen of that region refused to be con
verted, aud tho radical party have only Mr.
Swoope to thank for whatever is left df it
there. But Swoope's efforts in behalf of his
party were most potently felt in its councils.
We happen to know that about as often as
his KUggestions were acted upon the democ
racy was hurt ; snd it was rnlv when his
judgment was set aoide that his part lai'.ed
to accomplish its purpose.
Of course the democracy will derive no
advantage from this change of officials. Mr.
ftwoope is a bitter partisan, and wni Jo all he
can to keep his parry in power. Uut as the
office had to le filled hv a radical we sincerely
rejoice that it is tiik'd by a gentleman who
can sink the partisan in the citizen. Mr.
M. will be found to be no respecter of persons.
Party fealty will be no palliation for villainy
with him. Neither will wealth, or suppos
ed political influence, hitherto so potent in
defrauding justice gf her dues, find io hinj
a pliant instrument.

P. O. Boxes. An exchange fays : "The
Postmaster General has issued au order reg
ulating the rent of post office boxes and draw
ers in post offices throughout the country.
The charge for a box is henceforth to le 52
leranium,and for a drawer $4 these rates
not to interfere with boxesor drawers at pies
cntlet at the old rates for a specified time."
In our opinion, this will be death to the
box business in many of the smaller towns
the price being fo large that most p30ide
will do without boxes. Besides; we believe it
will bo the means of diminishing the rev
enue from that source, and impose much
additional trouble ou the postmasters.

Inaugural Address of
JOHN "W- GEARY,
Delivered oa Tuesday, January 13th, 1S70.
FtLLOW-ClTIZKXS. Having been honor
ed, tut a second time by the voluntary fcut
frages ol m v countrymen as their choieeTor
Chief .Magistrate of the Commonwealth of
reiiu.-ylvania, I have, in the presence ot
God and this assembled multitude, renewed
the sole in n and biuding obligation required
of me by law, to i-upport the State and Sra
tional Constitutions, and to perform with ti
dclity tha duties devolving upon me as (iov
ernor. it hhall be my constant aim aud
tnoet earnest effort to observe the very let
ter as well as the lull spirit, meaning and
intent ot the obligation I have just taLeti.
Deeply impressed with the most profound
gratitude, I can but express my most hearty
thanks to the good citizens or this Common
wealth for the yeuotous eoiiH lenee and par
tiality they have reposed iu me by re-el-ic-tkn
to the 11104 honorable and most re
sponsible position in their gilt, lint know
in,; well their exactions and iouircmcntsf
oe who occupies a position s exalted, it is
with extreme di9ideuce I agaiu undertake
responsibilities of such vast importance,
which even tl.e boldest and most gifted
might hesitate to assume. And however
deteruiluud may be my end-.-avors to realizj
the expectations of my i'ri. uds i.i support of
the right, and to battle against whatever,
to my judgiiii-nt. may be wrong, still I am
conscious ot the necessity (or some sustain
ing power, an I, therefore. I unhesitatingly
acknowledge my dependence upon the en
lightened support and patriotism of my fel
low citizens, anil my firm reliance upon the
unerring wisdom and never failing aid of
Him who controls alike the destinies of in
dividuals and of nations.
The settlement of the vexed questions
growing out of the armed conflict iib trea
&ou, devolves a mighty responsibility upon
th loyal men of the land. Armed rebellion
was signally crushod by the force of armed
loyalty, and the government lias triumph
antly established its ability to successfully
siippriss dotiustic insurrection, however gf
gantio. J'iie war i-' self has served to stiniu
late our people to f. e.-h energies, and to the
davtloyiiient of fresh enterprises. Our
manufactories have multiplied, plenty has
smiled upon our fields, and Lh-s.-.cd the la
Ijorof tbe husbandman. IV-ee has restored
our people to their homes, and cheered our
Presides. The rates of taxation have been
reduced, and are entirely ab ili-hcl upin
real estate fjr the use of the Common
wca'th. Our iate debt is being steadily
aud surely liquidated. Immense sums have
beeu paid tor pensions and other charities.
The cause of education has auvanml, and
the institutions for il.e support and tuition
of soldiers' orphans have been liberally sup
plied, llaihoads have been constructed,
and new material resources developed. Aud
thus our Siare and Nation are rapidly pro
gressing in the attainment of those elements
01 greatness which have already placed our
country iu the foremost rank of the powers
of tho earth. The great railroad which
binds our taie to the Far West, and it in
turn to toe oriental nations, has been com
pleted, aud all our efforts to add to our ma
teria! prosperity have been crowned wiih
unparalleled fcttecesS.
It was my privilege t' announce from this
stand, three years auo, the principles which
would guide me in die administration of the
office ot tjover.ior. At that time 1 dwelt
upon and expressed my views in reference
to all question then ociupyitig a share of
pubiic attention. 1 have since, from limr
to time, in itie.s.-aes to the Legislature, set
forth the con !ii ton of the tjtaie, recommend
ed -Mich measures as I deemed expedient
and calculated to advance her inUrefts, and
expressed my vie.v upon the topics ol the
day hit were of .Staic or Natit mil import
ance. Aud having fully reflected thereon,
I am more oufinui'd therein, and know of
no reas n why 1 should not endorse and re
iterate them as 1 illy, ou this occasion, as it
1 again promulgated ti.em word for word.
And iuw, acknowledging my responsibility
iu its broadest sense, as a representative, to
my co-isntueiits, and considering the mag
nitude ot l he interests which have again
been cominuii d to my cha.-ge, I feel iris
duo to the people and iueuuibcut upon niy
se:f, to refer tLeiu to the documents iudiea
ted, lor an outlineof thj general poli. y that
is t .tended as a guidj lor the incoming ad
ministration, rather than encumber this ad
dress, or unnecessarily delay this audience
willi i heir repetiti in. I have no new pleJg
esto make, but conli leutiy refer to the ree
iri of mr past hle.us evidence at least .f my
ze.il and iievi ii.m u the best interests ol
my State aud cotii,t:y, aud tor the rcctiliide
ot my itiU n. tons. Atil although the ability
wliica I bring to tlu discharge of such hitrh
duties nuy lie limited, I shall confidently
rely upon the kind indulgence of my follow
citizens and u;io:i a conscientious elf irt to
uphold unblc-iii i.-dicd, and transmit untar
nished to in v surce-sor in oflico, and to pos
terity, tha f .i.- lame and good name of our
tuagittti.'cnt old Commonwealth.
Diliicultics of no ordinary character con
stantly surround your .Executive ofSe -r iu
i lie) di-chirge ot many duties devolving up
ou hiui, toucei niiig each of which there may
be conilk-ting t pinion.-. It beinc. therefore,
impossible to sati-dy all, his only safeguard
is to adopt, and act in accordance with
tbosti sterling aid beucSccnt maxims to
which the curly father give utterance,
winch have been sanctioned by wisdom and
experience, and r.-snUed in th-.' rapid growth
and prosperity of our institutions, and the
liberty and happiuoss ot our people.
The Con-tiiuiion vests "the supreme Ex
ecutive power" ol ihe Sla'e in the Goveru
or, and directs, that ''he shall take care
that the laws be faithfully executed.'' The
Miprt uie tar:h!y authority it-cognized by (is,
tbeivfiie, is th-j law ihe rightfully deter
mined will of tha peon!';. "So citizen is so
exalted as to be above, an 1 none so low as
to be beticatli its power." The Executive
is as much the subject of the laws of the
State as ihe humblest individual nitiiin its
borders. In pursuance of these principles,
and in the execution of tho laws, I have en
deavored, during my term of effi e, faithful
ly to dischurce every o.ficial duty with a
full reference to my sworn obligation, and as
I shall answer at the last great day.
It should be our earnest cffjrt to faithful
ly discharge all our obligations and rcspon
stbililies, both as citizens and magistrates.
We should cease to tolerate anything as
'po'itical!y right, that is morally; wrong."
and actively proscribe the eoriuption which
too frequently marks the administration or
public affairs an evil to which attention
cannot too frequently or too forcibly bo in
vited. No sii;u more certainly indicates the
downfall of free institutions than the indif
ference of the people to tha moral depravity
of those in authority. All history warns us
to hold to our integrity as we value our na
tional existence. Forcibly impressed with
theso ideas, I call upon all legislators, and
upon all other good citizens, and especially
upon the conductors of the public press
the ever faithful sentinels ol a free people
to aid in giving that tone to public senti
ment which shall purify our Stats, and re
heveher from the reproach of even counle
nancins those who would make a traffic of
their offices in-violation ot their obligations.
Look to it well and cloely, fellow citizens,
and begin at once to teach your servants
that the ''public will' must be obeyed, and
that the "public weal" is the first object to
be attained iu a free government. If you
permit speculators to enrich themselves out
of the public Treasury, anil at the same
time to corrupt the law-making branch ol
tha government, you pave the way to an
archv, you set the "example which tempts to
crime, aud offer to the' world an evidence
most conclusive, that self government is a
iailure.
Owing to the many efforts made on the
part of freetraders tor the abolishment of
the natural aud whoksssoroe r itectioo now
forded to our home industry aud to labor,
I consider it a subject which claims a por
tion ol our time and atteulio If our ua
tional industry and uatur&l productions, rep
resented by thousands of factories, mines
and other sources of labor, wre to be pre
served, there shoald be tni reduction of du
ties which shall enable the underpaid and
overworked population ol the Old World to
flood our States with the product ot their
mines and workshops at the coat ol our de
struction. The articles thus admitted would
undersell the products of our artizans atour
very doors.and our factories would be closed
as heretofore, by similar causes. This will
throw out of employment thousands of in
dustrious men, and entail ruin upon them
and their families, merely for the benefit ot
aggrandizement of foreign manufacturers
aud capitalists. As soon as our iudustral
arms are para'yztd and competition is de
stroyed, the monopolist can command his
own price, and it is thus clear that the pol
icy of free trade can never permanently ben
efit any country that will sanction its adop
tion. Impelled by eveiy feeling of interest,
humanity and justice for our artizans and
laborers we should unhesitatingly set our
faces against this heresy. We should,
therefore, not only earnestly legislate for
the benefit of capital, but for the toiling
sons and "daughters of our country. It
should be our constant effort to improve
their social condition, to advance their in
tellectual status, and above all to shield
them from the destitution which is threat
ened by the enemies of 'protection to our
iudustral pursuits.
In my several messages to the Legislature
I have taken occasion to refer to a subject
which I regard as of paramount importance
to the prosperity r.nd even tbe etability of
our government. 'o nation can long exist
that attempts to violate any of its obliga
tions. The most prominent among these is
the faithful payment of all its indebtedness.
No good reason can lie given for the te
pudia ion ol a single farthing. I said in my
message of January, lSi'JS, "The people of
Pennsylvania, ever true to tbe Union, and
unswerving in their determination to pre
serve its honor, integrity and perpetuity,
are proud and lice to assert the sacredness
of the national debt, and that its ultimate
payment in lull must be secured." Inmy
message ot l.so'J, I called attention to the
same subject, in these words: "The voice of
Pennsylvania, as well as that of a majority
ot tbe States, has at the ballot-box pro
claimed to the world that all our national
indebtedness, no matter how heavy the bur
den, will be paid according to the letter aud
spirit of the agreements made and entered
into at the time the debt was contracted ;
aud that iu this, as iu ail other respect!",
our individual aud national honor must and
shall be preserved." These sentiments, so
clearly expressed, I havu takeu frequent oc
casion to reiterate, and it alloids me great
satisfaction to observe that niauy who have
heretofore been hostile to, or silent on this
most important subie t, are becoming warm
in their advocacy ol the principles here
enunciated.
Those who aved this government from
the destruction designed by treason, are
they who will pt-rpetuate it as a blessing for
future general ions. All that is asked ot the
people is to stieni thtii aiul uj hold the
land-' of the men who have beeu called to
do the woik of leconsiiuction, and when
that w iik is finished iu the spirit in which
it has been begun by the present National
Administration, we will" have a government
and a country mighty in their mtuiiSceuce,
itlotious in i heir prospciity.
The preservation of the pence and quiet
of our country, maintaining unsullied our
national honor, and tho harmony of the
Union are among out highest duties. Let
us encourage every branch of home industry,
advance the true interests of moral, physic
al and intellectual labor, and reaching tor
ward to the prize ol the manifest destiny ;f
our glorious Commonwealth, we may hoi
for her increasing prosperity, and, above all,
for the smiles of an approving Providence.
I earnestly invoke a coutiuuauce of the
blessings and favors which we, as a people,
have long enjoyed, that Pennsylvania may
be ever ready to extend her sympathies to
those struggling for liberty, to succor the
helpless exile, and be an asylum to the per
sfcuted and oppressed ; and thus for ever
identify herself with the cause ot equal
rights and with ti e inte.ests of universal
Veedom, justice and humanity. Then can
wo with truth proclaim, "Long live the
Com Mint wealth," whose truidiug princu'hs
ar- toiiini in Mm motto ot our .state. III
