diction that within two years the Irish vote

of the world presents few, if any, instances
of a more sublime and just reckoning than
this will be exiled Irishmen by the power
of American citizenship paying off a score

Death of Hon. John Covode.
. Hon. John Covode, whose career, both
as a man of business, enterprise and a legig
lator, of firm convictions and unimpeacha
ble integrity, died suddenly, of disease of
the heart, at the United States Hotel in
Harrisburg, on Wednesday morning, Janu
ary 1 Ith, 1S71. He retired at night, ap
parently well, but'at an early hour in the
morning suddenly died.
Mr. Covode, though not favored with the
advantages of early education, made for
himself an enviable reputation, chiefly
throngh his force of chsracter, backed by
honesty of urpose. He was born in West
moreland county on the 17th of March,
1808. His early lifo was devoted to farm
ing and manufactures, being at one time
largely engaged in the manufacture of wool
en goods. He was also at one time engaged
in transportation, by means of the canal,
between Pittsburg and Philadelphia, and
has also been, at times, largely interested in
coal mines.
His political career began nearly! a score
of yearn ago. He was elected a member of
the Thirty-fourth Congress, and was re
elected to the Thirty fifth, serving on the
committee on public expenditures. He
was also re-elected to the Thirty sixth Con
gress, and was made chairman of a special
committee to investigate certain charges
made against President Buchanan and his
administration. He was re-elected to the
thirty-seventh Congress.scrving as chairman
of the committee on public expenditures.
He was the Republican nominee for the
Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth Congresses,
but was defeated by the laie Hon. John L.
Dawson. In 1SGG Mr. Covode defeated Mr.
Hugh W. Weir, of Indiana county. Two
years afterward he was opposed by Henry
D. Foster. Both gentlemen claimed the
election. Mr. Covode was awarded the
seat. .Last year he was elected chairman of
the Republican State Central Committee,
and served in that capacity during the last
campaign. His reputation was made in bis
investigation of the conduct of the war.
In his capacity as chairman of this com
mittee he performed a vast amount of labor
and rendered services which were considered
to entitle him to a laige measure of grati
tude. He has also been known as a pro
tectionist, and was a vigorous supporter in
Congress of a protective policy so generally
favored in thia State. He was a man of
decided convictions, of great energy and
force of character, and made for himself a
noble reputation by sheer hard work.
State Treasurer.
We are glad to be able to announce this
week, the election of R. W. Mackey, Esq.,
of Pittsburg, as State Treasurer for the en
suing year. Every Republican in the joint
meeting voted for him, and his election was
a marked triumph. The best feature - con
nected with it, in our judgment, is the fact
that there are no heart burnings. but a kind
ly feeling even among the unsuccessful can
didates. Mr. Mackey has been a life-long
Republican, and asked no office, although
be has long been one of the most effective
workers and best tacticians in the State.
The office originally sought him, not he the
office. When Senator Graham of Alleghe
ny county, was urged, two years ago, to ac
cept the position, he declined in favor of
Mr. Mackey, who thus had the treasurer
ship conferred upon him unsought. That
he should be a candidate for re-election was
perfectly natural and proper. It is custo
mary to ratify a successful administration of
office by the conferment of a second term.
This was proposed in Mr. Mackey's case.
He received ths nomination of the caucus,
but the election was filched away by a"bolt"
in the interest of Mr. Irwin. That wrong
to the party and to Mr. Mackey is now hap
pily righted, and he is confirmed in a posi
tion for which he has peculiar talent and
commanding ability. We rejoice over hi
election.
Exdip. -The Harrisburg Telegraph says:
"The contested election case of the First
Senatorial district was virtually ended by
the Democratic portion of the Senate on
Monday. The committee appointed on Fri
day last made a lengthy report that morning
concluding with a resolution that no further
action should be taken in the matter. This
resolution was endorsed by the majority of
that body and utterly repudiated by the Re
publicans, but of course adopted ; and thus
ends the case in which such outrageous
frauds are said to have been committed.
We presume the action in this case will end
all the contested election cases that may be
pending in the Senate and House.
"If the Republican majority in the House
should adopt the views of the Democrats in
the Senate there will be no committee drawn
in the case of James Lynd, whose peat is
contested as an associate judge of the Dis
trict Court of Philadelphia. We predict
that no further contested election cases will
be tried in the future, no matter how great
the frauds may have been by which the sit
ting member may be returned."
A protest agairfst the admission of Utah

Yallandighaai, at a recent Democratic

loud-mouthed clamor for annexation.'

Washington City Gossip.
Congress has passed the bill for the hold
ing of the centennial celebration of our Na
tional existence, at Philadelphia.
In reference to the Saa Domingo question,
one thing must be remembered from the
first, and by everybody. Although the Pres
ident has made this project in a great degree
a personal matter, there are none, even
among the bitterest opponentsof the scheme,
who attribute dishonest motives to the Pres
ident. All agree that he fully believes in the
wisdom of the steps he is urging, and that
he is actuated solely by what he honestly
thinks is for the good of the country. The
charges of speculation, which are too specific
to admit of ignoring them, are not aimed at
the President, nor has there teen any effort,
in any quarter, to connect him with them. It
has not even been a matter of questioning
among the opponents of annexation, wheth
er he was involved with those whose names
have been freely used in connection with the
sneculative features of the movement. All
l
admit that the President's hands are clean
in this.
In the House Mr. Morton's resolution ap
pointing a commission to visit San Domingo,
after being amended so as to declare that
nothing in it should be construed as commit
ting the Government to annexation, was
passed.
Iu the House on Friday.dunng the debate
on the legislative appropriation bill, and
while the section relative to the Bureau of

relating to the Bureau of Education, and re

which would regulate that bureau by abol
ishing it. Democracy is still opposed to the
common school and spelling book, North as
ell as South.
The U. S. Senate, in executive session on
Friday last, confirmed the nomination of Vice

In the report and bill prepared by Judge
Mercur of the House Judiciary Committee

bers. Pennsylvania i? to have 26 members
and New York 32. A provision in the bill
gives to any new States hereafter admitted
into the Union, Representatives to be added

The President does not intend, as tome of
the newspaper have stated, to send a mes
sage to Congress on the subject of recon
struction. He will, however, in a few days
transmit a large number of reports from mil
itary officers, received at the war department,
in which complaints are made and incidents
given of outrages and disturbances in the
South. They will be submitted in order
that action may be taken with a view to af
ford the required relief, and a recommenda
tion to this effect may be made by the Pres
ident in a brief message.
The Frenoh-Prnssian War.
London, January 16, 9:30 A. m. Paris
newspapers of the 10th instant unite in say
ing that a rain of projectiles, some weighing
ninety-six kilogrammes, unparalleled in the
history of seiges, was pouring into that por
tion of Paris lying between the Hotel des
Invalidos and Oden. The bombardment
continues without interruption throughout
day and night, and was so violeut ou the
night of the 8th, between the church of St.
Sulpice and the Museum, that the shells fell
every two minutes.
Hospitals, ambulances, schools, public
buildings, the churches of St. Sulpice, Sar
boune, and Vol de Grace, and many private
houses have been struck. Women were
killed both in the streets and in their beds,
and infants in their mothers' arms.
One projectile which fell in the Rue Van
Guard killed four children and wounded five
others
The unrivalled works of art in the Luxem
burg Museum were destroyed.
The hospital Val de Grace suffered great
ly, and wounded soldiers were there killed in
their beds.
The situation for France Is gloomy indeed,
and correspondingly bright for Germany.
The general battle atLe Mans on Wednes
day, between Prince Frederick and Chanzy,
resulted in the complete triumph of the
German forces, which are now actively en
gaged in following up the broken and demor
alized French arn.y. Paris is still being fu
riously bombarded, and its army is asking
for peace. In the East the Germans have
been greatly reinforced, and wo would not
be surprised to hear in a few days that Bour
baki and his vaunted army, from which so
much was expected, had been utterly beaten.
Withal, there is a bright prospect of peace,
Austria proposing to take the initiative.
The preliminaries she proposes, while se
curing to Germany all the fruits of her
great triumph, are fair even to humbled
France. Whether United Germany will ac
cept them remains to be seen. If she is as
magnanimous in peace as she has proved
herself mighty in war, their adoption is cet
tain. Democratic Victories. The following
paragraph from the Austin (Texas) State
Journal, will serve as a specimen of the
means used by the Southern Democracy to
prevent Republicans from voting and secu
ring Democratic victories. That paper says :
"The confederate flag was hoisted from
the court house in Cherokee during the
election, and was still flying when Mr. Brock
passed through the place. Worse still, when
the Republicans attempted to hoist the na
tional banner, it was torn in shreds by the
Democracy, and trampled under foot. Gen
eral Munrie, a Republican candidate for the
House, and an old and respected citizen, was
insulted and treatened, and the system of
terrorism was so dominant and truculent
that the Republicans conld not get safa ac
cess to the ballot-boxes, and let the election
go by default."
New Jersey will pay in gold the principal
and interest of all bonds issued since the
passage of the legal tender act, not waiting
for a decision to crowd her to it, as other
laves have done.
Local Correspondence.
Patchenville. Jan. 12, 1871,
Mr. Editor : Winter has fairly set in,
the sledding is excellent, and our lumber.
men are swinging in the timber rapidly, al
ready the river batk is well niled and plenty
mora to come out of the woods yet. '
Meantime at leisure intervals our young
folks are enjoying themselves getting up
surprise parties, etc.
It becomes my painful duty to announce
a division in the hitherto united ranks of
astonishment dealers. This much to be
regretted event happened one night last
week. A party was organized with the
grim determination of astounding a quiet
tamily residiug near (Juerrytree. 1 hey sail
ed Happily up the river together. Ho one
who gazed upon their shining evening faces
dreamed that ere another sun had cast
streams of golden light through the green
pines, that little band would be arrayed
against each other in deadly warfare. But
sucb, alas I was the case. It came about in
this way : One of the Burnside feller was
conducting that very interesting play called
"love in the dark," when a Palchenville
gallant murmured something about foul
plav. He said somebody was gittin' all the
guls, and somebody else wasn t having any.
So he proposed that the party should plav
charades, and suggested as a subject "Stay
ins a month after school's over." C. ob
jected to this, saying that it would take an
acre ot house room to work the charade
out. "Well then we'll peel the willow."
said Patelicnvilie. "I won't peel the wil
low, bnt I'll peel somebody's n ostril if this
thing aiu'tsettled pretty quick," murmured
the doctor. We tried to compromise but in
vain, the breach crew wider, and finally the
down river party whirled their team up to
the door and called all passengers to be ready
in five minutes. The Patchenville party
seeing their late friends were bent on leav
ing thought they would honor them with a
musical surprise. In view of this they col
lected all the tinware around the pramiscs
and commenced a performance compared to
which the boiler shops in Altoona on a busy
day is calm and serene. My, oh I my, but
didn't they rattle. Of course I was riled,
for I was with the retreating party. I stood
up in the sled and attempted to speak, but
in vain, the noise was so great that I could
not hear my own voice, rinally they stop
ped a moment to get wind, and then I ad
dressed some of l'oe's fine poetry to the
good natured young lady leader, hoping thus
to pacify her :
"On desperate teas long want to roam,
Thy hyacinth hair, th y classie face,
Thy naiad ain bare brongbt ma homo
To the glory that was Greece,
And the grandeur that wai Rome "
Just then the doctor, totally exasperated,
struck the Ikorses with the whip and they
bounded forward while I rebounded back
ward. My centre of gravity struck the
centre of the road with tremendous force.
I never studied astronorry or I would have
taken some notes, for stars innumerable, es
corted by long tailed comets, sailed across
my disordered vision. I held the two bow
ers and ace and ot course played it alone.
''Now twilight lets ber curtain down
And pins it with a star."
Happening in Burnside yesterday I found
invitation cards in circulation. Procuring
one I send you a copy :
"Compliments of the two Pats of the
Short Division Surprise, to Mr. and lady,
solicits their company at a surprise party to
be given at Mr. Line of demarkation at
saw mill run, none "axed" south ot that
point. Programme : Sleds to park in Ben
nett's meady at 7 p. m. - Singing ou the

the tinker man," by the company. "Sher
man's march over Beaver Run, by Gusa
and Jim Connell. "Soap suds over the
fence," by Mrs. Maloney, the authoress,
who will accompany the party."
Appended to the invitation cards is the
following note of warning :
"La verbuttum enos kum swampo metra
Forbus Hydra Kum Robus up scondis Flo
ris Lades McCladis up Kum packety Bug
erty Shank."
I presumed from all I could understand of
the above language that the party were de
pending on Shank's mare for conveyance,
but I knew they couldn't get her, for Shank
swore he would lend her nor the calf either,
but properly translated it reads thus ;
"As the course of the party lies directly
in the route of our new railroad, the direc
tors would suggest that driver halt their
teams every five minutes for the purpose of
looking out for the locomotive when the
bell rings ; for at the rate our energetic rail
road men are pushing things, a locomotive
with President, "Port" and "Limber Jim"
aboard, may come bounding along at any
moment and run over tho party."
