The election parsed off, and on the heels of which followed tha jeport of said Commit tee, setting forth in strong and convincing language that they were unable to discover that any improper mean.s were used iu the election of United Statea Senator by any of the candidates for that ofiice. The Constitutional amendments were tak en up at an early day, and fully discus.e 1 by both Radicals and Democrats, for nearly two weeks, before a vote was had upon them. All the sound logic and argument presented were against the passage of the amendments. They were, as everybody anticipated, passed by a strictly party vote. A bill ha3 been passed making it an offence for any conductor of passenger care in this Commonwealth to eject a negro from any cax3 that were intended for white ladies and gentlemen to ride in. Cuffy has a perfect right, says tho Legislature, to sit by the side of your wife, and if the scat is too uncom e .1 i 1 luiutuij jjii;cu tiie van tun:.. The question-of Sunday travel, by the running of care in the city of Philadelphia, has been disposed of. This quotum has been hanging in the legislature for several years. A bill has been passed leaving the whole matter to a vote of the people in the city. By their vote they decide whether the Legislation had on the subject shall stand as law, which provides for the run ning of the cars immediately after the elec tion, if the result be favorable. The Phila delphia members nearly all favored the bill. It met some stubborn opposition from the country members. We notice that quite a large number of bills have been passed this winter, chang ing the venue in certain cases to other COUn r C it. T. - t. ,...tir 1. .1 1 ...111 commenced. These venues have been chang ed upon the.gronnd'that politics interfered and the parties feared that justice might not be done them. This kind of Legislation in many cases should not be granted ; but , with the present loyal Governor and loyal . Legislature, all an Abolition Attorney has to do, when he gets hold of a pretty tough case, is to apply to his loyal brothers for a change of venue, and it is granted, without any further trouble, and some other County is obliged to bear the expense of the trial. In many cases, as we have said before, it is wrong and the practice should be, in some. . way, checked. The Connellsville Railroad bill met its defeat a few days ago. There was a pretty fierce fight made upon this bill, principally by the minions of the Pennsylvana Kail road Comp?ny. A bill was parsed but a day or two since authorizing tli3 borrowing of twenty-three millions of dollars to pay debts that are over due.

The Constitutional -,".nd" meats In the l,egiiatul l IlARRISBCBft FEB- 6, 18G7. The Constitutional Amendment, during the past two weeks, hava been freely venti lated in both IIou.se The Democrats have had Jecidedly the best of it, as the argu ment is all on their side. I cannot refrain from congratulating the Democracy of Old Bucks in having such an able and zealous Representative as Frank Headman, as he is familiarly called. n last Thursday, while the Constitutional Amendments were under discussion, Mr. Headman made a most-telling and eloquent speech. I-have taken the liberty to make a few extracts from it, which I would be pleased to see in the columns of the Democrat and Star, believing that they will be read with interest by ever Dem ocrat in your County. 3Jr. Headman having the fkor, spoke of the folly of endeavoring to convince the rad icals of the error of their wayn, but he owed a duty to his party and to his country, to protest against the passage of these amend ments. I proceed to make a few extracts, which elicited particular attention from both sides of the House : " There has been a great deal said about rebels and rebel sympathisers. The Re publicans have called us traitors, because we do not thmk as they do. They have trampled the Constitution of our country un der foot and proclaimed that they have a ''hjgher law." Why, sir, these men here who are branding us as traitors, and have taken an oath to support the Constitution are traitors of the blackest dye. It has been said of me that I am disloyal and that I hang out a secession flag. 1 hang otic a flag at my home that the ncsrro wor shippers do not wih to understand. It is one that has descended, even to the fourth gcneration m my iamilv. I will here de :v.- 1 :. 1 1 1 . . r : i : . 1 f 11 -il 1 iii 1 1 1 nr h 110 silL- ni nst nurr tlit IiriTiir. n'iiri" of heaven. In the centre of that blue ground is painted a bundle of thirteen sticks, firmly bound together, emblematic of the Union. They ere surmounted by a Liberty cap. Clutching those sticks are thirteen ban. Is and stalwart arms, representing the thirteen original States, grasping the Union, and the motto inscribed upon it is, "77:i' tee irill drfend or die .'" That flag was be tween those snow-clad hills at Valley Forge; it was in the battle front at (iermantown; and. sir, men from South Carolina and Mas sachusetts marched shoulder to shoulder un der its folds, as well, also, the patriots fro 111 Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Con necticut, Georgia, Maryland, New Hamp shire. Virginia, New Vork, NortR Carolina and Rhode Island. Through the storm and hail, over the frozen and snow covered ground, on that bleak and dark December night, through my own county of Bucks, their path could be traced by the blood from their shoeless feet. That army if army it could be called, crossed the Delaware, amidst floating ice. That was the darkest hour of our country's history. Men from all the States that ratified the Constitution were there, and on that Christmas morn, true to the motto on that flag, achieve 1 the victory at Trenton. v teorge Washington, the first rebel, led one wing of the forlorn hope. These men went through all the hardships and privations that human beings could endure. Rut the bright sun of victory smiled upon them ; and there was the free dom of our country won. and that honored flag was triumphant. I am proud to say that this is the flag that waves over my house above the stars and stripes. ''The Republicans hare encouraged the negro to live in idleness, and forced the Government to support him. You have your agents traveling all over the country at Government expense in behalf of negroes, but for white men the hand of charity is not extended. White soldiers can be seen daily on the highways and.bywavs, with one arm or one leg, asking alms. There are no tears of sympathy for them no Government agents hunting them up to relieve their wants. Unfortunately for them, they are white, and according to radical rule, they did not, like the negro troops, 'fie lit brave ly." I think the time will soon come when a cry of injustice done to white men will go up that will shake the granite hills of New Hampshire, and re-echo along the hills and valleys until t reaches the orange groves of Florida, and extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts. Men will the n go forth to oppose fanaticism and misrule. White freemen from all sections ot this country will be in battle array. They will not rally under the stars and bars, but under that flag, with its thirty-six stars unsullied, while you on the other side of this House will have to fight under a flag of but twenty-six stars, alongside of negro troops. Yo will then, indeed, have to "fight bravely." I say, go on gentlemen in your nefarious crimes and plots, agitate the country, keep up the excitement, depreciate your curren cy, close, your channels of trade, shut up your mills, foundiers and workshops, stop your mines, throw the masses of white men and women out of employment, then will come the time you will wish you had never been born. We have already suffered all sorts of pri vations find hardships. The Constitution has been laid aside under the plea of mili tary necessity, and under that pie persons have been incarcerated in forts and bastiles, without due process of law. They have been denied the right of trial by jury they "have never been confronted by their accusers. All this has been done by usurpers and tyrants men that would barter freedom for a great man's feast, and sell their country and their principles for a mess of pottage. Prolong ed cheering. And these are the men who took a solum n oath to support the Constitu tion in which these rights are guaranted to all. There is an old saying, that the darkest hour is the hour before dawn, and I think the darkest hour in the history of this coun try will be when the programme of the Sen ator from Eric is carried ont. He said, that if it was necessary, the I 'resident should be removed, and if those men in bla k robes at Washington, (meaning the Supreme Court of the Uuited States,) Mood in the way, they also should be removed. When that takes place then will be the darkest hour the Radicals ever saw. My militnrv experience in the late rebe-rlion does not ex tend very far. I had nothing to do with the negro crusade. .My hands are clean they are not stained with a brother's blood. But, sir, if the President of the United States is removed, and the Supreme Court abolished, I, for one of the two hundred and ninety thousand (290,000) Democrats of Pennsylvania, will buckle on my armor, un sheath my sw,rd, and swear before Al mighty God never to yield until I die or the Constitution of my country triumphs. litre all the Democratic members aroso to their feet, and most enthusiastically applauded the speaker, while the Republicans sat in mute astonishment. Then, should I live, ifc shall be ray guide, and all men that violate it by committing treason', such as Jno. Brown and his sympathisers did, I would strike terror into their hearts, and like the Ro mans of old, decorate all the trees along the highways-with their dangling corpses. "I shall vote against these amendments because they originated in and were sent people, and that is an usurpation of power, by this Legislature, to pass them without consulting the people. By. passing these amendments you violate your oaths to sup port the Constitution ot Pennsylvania, and take away from her one of her dearest and best right the qualification of her VOTERS. Oh, sir, if I was a Brutus and Brutus a Representative from Bucks, and occupied the position I do on this floor, I would har row up not only the minds of this little band of thirty-eight patriots and Democrats, but the whole people of this great Com monwealth, that they would make the vil lage blaeksmi'.h's anvil ring music convert ing plough shares and priming hooks into implements of war. I would gather white men together, martial them to support the Constitution and the Union, march them under that flag with her thirteen stripes and thirty-six stars, with that srord old motto waving over it "Til Id WK WILL DE FEND Oil DIE." Mr. Headman took his scat amidst a storm of applause, ami was warmly congrat ulated by his friends fur his masterly effort in defence of the Constitltion and the Laws. JEFFERSON. The World Mutual Like Insurance Company. This sterling institution, rank ing among the very best of its class, now offers superior inducements to those who wi.-di to avail thewselves of its benefits. Among the special features flf the company are: Mutual premiums lower than those of a majority of the life insurance companies of the United States. Non-participating premiums lower than those charged by nuy company iu the world. Dividends increase annually after two years, with the age of the policy. liOsses paid within thirty daysafter notice and proof of death. Thirty day grace allowed in the paymentof premiums. Spe cial attention is directed to the non-partici- nation rates 01 premium, oy which method 1 1 1 J the insurer secures at once the largest possi bio amount ot insurance lor a sta.et sum. 1 which is never increased or decreased dur ing the continuance of the policy. Has plan is recommended to those person.? of fixed income who desire to pay an even sum and to secure now the largest insurance there fore. The scale of premiums being on the average twenty eight per cent, lower than their participant rate-, will secure a policy of-:57 per cent, greater, which is equivalent to an annual ca.-h dividend of oT per cent, paid in advance, or to a cash dividend of 50 per cent, at the end of five years. Maj. J. F. FrueaufT,of Hollidaysburg, ia the general agent for this company fur this State, and to whom applications for insurance, local agen cies, etc., should be addressed. Editing a Newspaper. Considering how manj' good advisers of editors there are, it is Strang; there arc so few good editors. Perhaps a careful investigation of the mat ter would show, however that good editors are oftener spoiled by trying to follow too many advisers than by having too few. Tltere is plenty of advice which the receiver would do better to pocket than to practice. Most advisers, so far as our observation goes, regard much writing and good editing as nearly synonymous. There isno greater mis take, and none more fatal in the successful editing of a general newspaper. Benjamin Franklin has credit f r saying that "the best editor is scissors," by which he probably meant that the editor who recognizes the fact of there being in the world many go.d writers besides himself, and avails himself of the good things they hive written, will make the most interesting;ind acceptable newspaper. Men who know most about making newspapers do not estimate an edi tor's labors by the number of columns be writ is, but by the completeness and finish of his paper as a whole. The fallowing para graph, written by an Englishman of much experience contains the gist of the whole mat ter : A good editor, or competent newspaper conductor, is like a general or poet born, not made. Excrei.-e and experience give facility, but the qualification is innate, or it is never manifested. ( n the Jjondon daily papers, all the great historians, novelists, poets, essayists and writers of travel have been tried, and nearly every one has failed. 'I can,' said the late editor of the London Times, 'find any number of men of genius to write for me, but very seldom one man of common sense.' Nearly all ii-ceslul editors are of this description. A good editor sel dom writes much for hs paper; he reads, judges, selects, dictates, alters, and combines ; and after doing all tins well, lie lias lut utile time for composition. 1 o vt 11 for a paper is one thing to edit a paper is another." TSvya An Infant-M. rii dep.. On Saturday morning last, a son of Mr. P. Bloom, in passing along the line of the street railway, found, a bundle which, on examination, was foun t to be an infant with its throat cut from ear to ear. It had no doubt been mur dered, and thus disposed of to hide the fiendish and unnatural mother from shame. An inquest was hc-lTl by the Coroner, Dr. Wagner, but no facts were elicited showing the author of the terrible crime. The police took the matter in charge, and fmding evi dence implicating Elizabeth Edward, she was arrested on Monday morning, and after a hearing was sent to the county jail to await trial. We forbear ail comment on the mat ter, preferring not to prejudice any parties charged with the crime. Scran ton Feg istcr. . ESJ The Brunswick (Maine) Telegraph says, the farmers in that region are begin ning to groan over the taxes. They. will soon begin to bellow. As yet they have ex perienced only a few twinges of rheumatism, but when the genuine gout seizes them, as it surely will, then let them bless the party which they helped to bring these woes upon our coup.try. Let them groan and bellow ! Like the rich fool, Dives, they have had their "good things," and now they are to be tormented. The wealth they have suddenly amassed is made of blood the blood of their countrymen. Not a dollar of it that is not an abhorrence in the sight of God.

A Democratic caucus was to have been held at the Capitol this evening, but owing to the absence of the Chairman, 31 r. Win field, it was postponed to a future day, of which due notice will be giveu. surhatt. No information has yet been received at the Navy Department from the steamer Swatara with Surratt, the conspirator on board. It will be remembered that the Swatara sailed for home on the 8th of Jan uary, and it was then thought she would reach here by the 1st of February, if she should make the trip under steam. No doubt the cause of her non-arrival is that it was necessary for her to come a great por tion of the distance under sail. THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Chandler, of Michigan, moved that the Senate take up the resolution offered by him on Saturday last, whether Andrew Johnson, Vice-President, and acting Presi dent of the United States, has anv authoritv to appoint provisional Governors for the j States lately in rebellion.

Mr. Postmaster-General Randall is said to have tendered his resignation to the President, and it is probable that it will be accepted. The statement telegraphed North that Horace Greeley is to be made Postmaster-General, is not credited by well informed parties here. RADICAL CAUCUS. It is reported to-day that the House Rad icals will hold a caucus at ten o'clock to morrow morning, for the purpose of arriving at some conclusion in regard to the Senate substitute for Stevens' military bill. The impression is that a majority of the caucus j will vote in favor of sustaining it. In that J event, it will go through the House, be cause the rule of a caucus is the law of the party.

Having found the Saviour prreious to her own soul, she felt constrained to labor and prny for others,' and in season and out of season, she warned sinners and encouraged saints. In 1S01, having moved to Lycoming County, she and her husband united with the Lu theran Church, at Munoy, (then under the pastoral care of Rev. George Parson,) in whose communion she died. Mother Eilen bcrger was a good woman, a strong believer in the ejlicaey of prayer, a warm advocate of practical piety. She was the mother of seven children, and lived to see all, but one, broaght into the Church of Christ.
