evidence of the efficiency with which our

lathe Senate, on Tuesday, December
13th, .Mr. McCrecry. of Kentucky, asked
leave to introduce joint resolution in rela
tion to the Arlington estate. The object of
the resolutions is to restore the proiierty to
the widow of the late Robert E-. Lee, to
whom it belonged previous to the war of
the re belli ju, and further contemplated the
remoral of the remains of the Union sol
diers buried there. Mr. Edmunds opposed
the introduction of the resolutions, remark
ing that the proposition to remove the bod
ies of ourr aoldiera I'roui. where they, are
now repofing for the purpose of restoring
the estate to its rebel owner, was monstrous
Mr. McCreery spoke of ' General Thomas
and General' Lee, both Virginians, both
prominent actors in the war, and both dying
within a short time of each, other. The
former adhered to the flag of the Union,
while the latter embarked in the cause of the
Confederacy. He then pronounced a brief
eulogy on General Lee. "the ubstame of
which is thus stated in a Congressional re
port : '
"He was nbove all vice, nis character
was pure and spotless, and his natne will be
enshrined io he hearts of the American
people. He should ay nothing of the
right of secession or the war. , General Isee
joined the people among whom he was born,
just as you joined thoce among whom you
were born. lie should not follow him in
his career, but was he not a herd, a gentle
man and a christian? Brill aut as was his
military career, the closing scene of his life
added matchless lustre to his fame."
He concluded his remarks by asking that
the home of Gen. Lee's father be restored
to his widow. The remarks of the Ken
tucky Senator elicitedome sharp rejoinders
the pith of which is contained in the fol
lowing brief report :
Mr. Edmunds did not intend to dignify
this occasion, as he sup'ed the object of
the Senator was attained. Bat this man
whom the Sonator had euIogiuJ had com
mitted the crimo of treason against more op
portunities for knowing better than any
ether man. He was not the child of Vir
ginia, but of the pcoj.Ij the people who
had odueated him and fed him. lie lived
at this capital, but when this capital was
threa-en-id he not only turned bis back on
it but pointed his cannon toward it. For
himself (Mr. Edmunds), he thought it bet
ter for Gen. Lee had he been taken off in
! Ins you'll tlsan in his manlioiU.
Mr. Truuibu'l lcerettei that the btir.itor i
(Mr. MtCrccry) had done this thing, but I
he opposed the denying ol leave to the fien- I
a:or to bring in a bill. He thought it would
be a bad iireecdent to set.
Mr. Sumner said he had been denied
leave to bring in a bill abolishing .the fugi
tive slave law.-
The Vice President said thero had been
fire precedents far denying leave to bring
in a hill. -
Mr. .Morton desired to express his protest
against the consideration of this resolution
bv the Senate of the United Slates. Ho
has? heard what he never expected to hear,
an eulogy of General Lee in the American
Senate Tha enormity of his criuio cannot
be concealed by strewing flowers of rhetoric
over his grave.
Mr. Salisbury was in favor of the resolu
tion for the restoration of the Arlington es
tate to Mrs. R. E. Lee, with the exception
of that portion which looked to the remo
val of the boucs of those who were buried
there. '
The debate was continued at considerable
length, the questi on being on the motion of
Mr. Edmund., that the resolution be not
received.
Mr. Nye said that if General Leo wa a
hero so was Benedict Arnold; yet what
would hare been thought of the man who
j proposed to rectors to Benedict Arnold his
i property in Connecticut.. He considered
I this resolution not onlv as an insult to the
Senate, but as an insult to hiniFclf.
' Mr. atiafan thought that le s Chris
tiaiiitv ceased when he laid down the flag of
the Union acd took up that of the rebel
lion. Mr. Sumner agresd with Mr. Nye that
the graves at Arlington were as sacred as
the Constitution itself.
Mr. MeCrecry then desired to withdraw
his resolution, but Mr. Edmunds objected.
The Senate then refused to receive the
resolution by a vote of ayes 4, nays 5 i.even
the Democracy refusing to vote f
or Mo-
-rcery s monstrous proposition.
Senator .Morton has introduced a bill,
which providus that all elections under fed-
eral laws for officers of the United Stetss,
whether for president and vice president or
members of congress, shall be by ballot. So
Wr has this mode of election become to
this country that Senator Trumbull desired
to know the application of the proposed
law, and was informed lht in Kentucky
other independence except that which their
powerful neighbors permitted. By the gen
eral upheaval caused by the rebellion the
it'va voce system of voting has probably
heen overturned in all the southern state
which actually tecceeded. and the baliot
substituted instead. Kentucky, however,
is the least progressive of all the states.
Congress, under the constitution, has a
right to determine how elections for mem
tiers of congress and of electors for presi
dent and rice president shall be conducted ;
and if Kentucky, in the management of
her state affairs, chojC3 to maintain a sys-
tern of voting which is not consouaut with

Mr. Editor: Our beautiful village is
still keeping pace in thi steady-, progression
oi me nincieeniu ccmury, auu,
might boast, as did the ancient Greeks, ol
taking the lead iu literature.
The Greeks ascribed to Mercury the hon
or of introducing K-ttcrs ; and worshiped
him, as the messenger ol the God ; his
office .was to conduct the souls of the
dead into the infernal region. The citircQ
of Burn.sido ascribe t ' Lucky, Old Ben
the. honor of letters to the columns of your
worthy and instructive sheet, the JorRNAL,
and he richly luerits those honor ; for he
has spared no effort to make those letters
interesting, by having the latest news.
Some assert that he even arotu; at the
dead hour of night, and hastened to "Sweet
Auburn," (Uncle Billy's,) on afoot back
through the mud, in order to be able to lay
before his readers subjects of importance.
Yes, "dear Editor," "Sweet Auburn" ap
pears to have been an oft frequented haunt
to him ; and well might we poetically de
scribe the same :
Oft in the Hilly night,
re slumber's chain had bound Ban.
lit teok fail seat on BillyV Tcranda
. To muse on scene around the pan.
He has also the honors of beinir messen
senger lor "Uncle Billy" and "Kill."
Again, we don't know about his conducting
souls to the infernal regions, but we think
that he should have credit for trying to con
duct one (soul there. , . ...
Anj ot 'our intelligent readers can at onee
fee the analogy between "Mercury" and
"Lucky Old Ben." Methiuks "Ben" looks
like Mercury ! '
Among our other prominent uiep, is the
schoolmaster, who holds forth on hymn
book strict, six doors north of the Feath
Foundry, in a large building, 12x16, I
think ; (the town school house). It is
roomed off as follows: Two ante rooms each
Gx8, one itiner rooom Sxl'2, (improved fur
niture.) We citizens are taking an active
part in advocating woman's rights; for we
have ttverial female sehool directors.
Auother interesting jersonage, and wor
thy of our notice, is "liegna Cupidar,"
(Queen of Love,) the famous alto Mnger ;
and a resident of our village. All kinds of
amusement and entertainment can be found
at tl e new Opera Houe (Quotide).
II. Patchin has about completed th re
pairs on hi.s three story briek ; we admire
the skill and tate displayed in renovating
it. It certainly lends dignity to the town.
Would that there were more II. P.'s here.
O, yes! Mat. I. has employed Ivil to con
struct a board wa'k in front of his domicii ;
tve would say to his neighbor : "Gn thou
and do likewise." DlciFfLts. .
WesTover, Dec. 16, 1370.
Mil S .T Rnw- T have? nothing of much
j importance to write from Westover this
week : but I will give you a few items from
our neighbor township in Cambria county,
called Susquehanna. By the way Che.t
township is at the upper end of Clear
field county, and Suuehanna township is
at lower end of Cambria, therefore they are
neighbors.
A farmer liviug near the delectable vil
lage ol Bugton o, in the township aforesaid,
made arrangements to have a party. 1 he
j guesta were invited. A fino hog was dress
ed and 2t pounds of butter procured TWr
the occasion, and both atowod away ia his
spring house to await the expected party.
But, To and behold, that night some unmit
igated scamp stole butter, hog and all.
Live hog can only be restrained by a stout
pen ; but in some communities you are not
sure of preventing the straying away of
dead hogs by any precaution. Pieces of
pork, that you would suppose perfectly cur
ed of any roaving propensities, have been
known to travel a mile in the night and
break into a neighbor's cellar, apparently
for the satisfaction of getting out of a full
barrel into an em ty one.
Another ian, ike W. Swy, in tho vicin
ity of Bugtown, was aroused from his slum
bors one night recently by the barking of
his dog and the stentorian cries of some one
fur help. Ike went to the door and. to his
surprise, the noise came from the direction
of bin burn, it: a part of which he had some
fine turkeys rousting. There being only
one entrance, "Mr. Bowser" was standing
seutinel at the door, and Mr. thief was
roosting on the wine pole with the turkeys.
Ike don't know whether be intended t'o
steal his turkeys, but thinks if he was a
turkey he would like to roost one story
higher.
A young belle from the srme villaee.wcnt
with her "lovyer' to Greenville, Indiana
county, for the purpose of becoming one
flesh of his flesh, etc. .Before arriving at
the 'Squiro's, the aforesaid bridegroom im
bibed a little too freely, and the fair damsel
did then and there go back on ber'iovyer."
He, therefore, swore, or affirmed, that alio
might go to the d I : but she done worse,
a young man of Greenville procure a horse
and buggy and took her back to her native
village, where he put. up for the night, and,
to his horror, next morning found his buggy
smashed to flinders. So much for Bugtown.
The Literary Society at Westbw ia pro
gressins finely. The last subject of debate
was, "What has caused the most misery,
war or intemperance." S. W. B.. one of
thenpeakcrs-opened with the -following:
.'War is a big thing." This reminded mo
of M. II.' huuting story. M. II. said "he
went out back of his field and up jumped
the.biggest burk that ever was made ; but
when his pun cracked up jumped another a
good deal bigger." So ; if "war is a big
tiling," intemperance is "a good deal big

Tie New York Tribune for 1871.
Through struggle and suffering, at the
cost of multiform agonies, bereavements,
devastations, the American Idea embodied
in the preamble to our fathers' Declaration
of Independence approaches its complete
realization. The noble, inspiring assertion
that "all men are created equal," and en
dowed by their Creator with inalienable
rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happ:nc8s, is"no longer a glittering generali
ty, a poet's fancy, a philosopher's pecula
tion, but the recognized base of our politi
cal fabric- . The benign Revolution, which
dates from the Boaton Massacre! of 1770,
fluJs its logical completion, jurt one century
later, in ' the XVth1 Amendment, --which
gives to the equal political and civil rights
of every man born or naturalized in our
Re public the shield and defense of the Fed .
era! Constitution. The billows of Caste
and Privilege may rotr and rage uround that
rock, and may transiently seem on the jvoiut
of washing it away ; but its fouudatioits are
deep laid and steadfast, and the breakers of
Reaction and Slavery are hurled against and
dash their spray over it in vain.
We do not underrate the forces of Preju
dice and Aristocracy. We do not forget
that a verv large minority of the American
people still hold in their inmost heart that
Blacks hare no rights which Whites are
bound to respect. We fully appreciate,! he
desperation wherewith all tho warring ele
ments of hatred to Republican achievement
will be combined and hurled against the
battlements of Republican ascendancy in
the Presidential Election of I87i We do
not doubt that local successes, facilitated by
Republican ieuds and dissensions, will in
spire the charging host with a sanguine
hope of victory, such as nerved it to put
forth itn utmost -strength iu the earlier sta
ges of the contests of 1SC4 and 1S68. Yet
our faith is clear and strung that the Amer
ican people still bless God that, on the red
battle fields of our late CivU War, the Un
ion was upheld and Slavery destroyed, and
will Dcver consciously decide that the pre
cious blood thereon poured out was lavished
in vain.
The TuiBl'NE believes in the prosecution
of the great struggle by legitimate means to
beneficent ends To State Sovereignty, it
opposes indissoluble National Integrity ; to
Slavery for B!a-ks, Liberty for All ; to Pro
hcription. Enfranchisement; to Popular Ig
norance, Universal Education; to intensity
and eternity of wrathful Hate, universal
and invincible Good Will. It would fain do
its utmost to hasten the glad day wbeu the
South phall vie with the North in exultation
and gratitude over I he disappearance of the
last trace or taint of that spirit which im
pelled Man to exult iu the ownership and
chattclhood of his'Icllow Man.
Profoundly do we realize that the contest
is aot yet ended that Millions mourn,
more or less publicly, the downfall of the
slaveholders' Confederacy, and rear their
children to hate those by whose valor and
constancy its overthrow w as achieved. .Jf
we ever seem to differ essentially from other
Republicans, our conviction that magn-trii-mity
is never weakness, that vengeance is
never politic, and that devils arc not cast
out by Beelzebub, must serve to cxplrin al
leged eccentricities wh.ise perfect vindica
tion we leave to Time and Reflection.
The Tribune has been, is, and must bc.a
zealous advocate of Protection to Hum
Industry. . Regarding habitual idleness as
the greatest foe to human progress, the bane
of human happiness, we seek to win our
countrymen in masses from the ensnaring
lures of Speculation, of Trail.:,- and of al
ways overcrowded Professions, to the tran
quil paths of Productive Industry. We
would gladly deplete our overcrowded cities
where thousands vainly jostle and crowd in
misguided quest! of "Something to Do," to
cover prairies and plains with colonies ab
sorbed in Agriculture, Mechanics and Man
ufactures, and constantly projecting into the
blank, void wilderness the homes and the
works of civilized Man. .Holding the Pro
tection of Home Industry by discriminating
duties on imported Ware and Fabrics es
setial to the rapid, benficent diffusion of
Production in all its phases and depart
ments, and so to the instruction of our peo
ple in all the gainful arts ot Peace, we urge
our countrymen to adhere to and uphold
that policy, in undoubting faith that the
true interest, not of a class or a cection.but
of each section and every useful class, is,
thereby subserved and promoted.
Tne Tribune aims to be pre-eminently a
NEWS-paper. Its correspondents traverse
every State, are present on every important
battle-field, are early advised of very no
table Cabinet decision, obetve the. proceed
ings of Congress, of Legislatures, mid of
Conventions, and report to us by telegraph
all that seems of general interest. We have
paid for one day's momentous advices from
Europe by Cable far more than our entire
receipts for the issue in which those advices
reached our readers. If lavish outlay, un
sleeping vigilance, and unbounded faith in
the liberality and discernment of the read
iug public, will enable us to make a journal
which has no superior in the accuracy, va
riety, and freshness of its contents. The
Tribune shall be such a journal.'-'
To Agriculture and the subservient arts,
wc have devoted, and shall persistently de
vote, more means and space thau any of
our rivals. We aim to make the weekly
Tribune such a paper as no farmer can
afford It do witho'ut, however widely his
politics may differ from ours. Our reports
ot the Cattle, Horse, Produce, and General .
Markets, are so full and aecurate. ouressava
in elucidation of the farmer's calling, -.and
our regular reports of the Fanners' : Club
and kindred gatherings, are so interesting,
that the poorest farmer will find therein a
mine of suggestion and counsel, of which
he cannot remain ignorant without positive
and serious loss. We sell the Weekly to j
Clubs tor less than its value in dwellings for
waste-raDer : and. thourh its subscription i
is already very large, we believe that a half
milion more farmers will take it whenever
it shall be commended to their attention.
We ask our fr iends everywhere to aid us in
so commending it.
