,Tne Poor Doase Stewardship.
The Dem. & Sent:, commenting upon
oar announcement of the appointment of
. Mr. Joseph Moore, of Johnstown, to the
Stewardship of the County Poor Housiu,
r says : "As to whether Mr. Moore is to
. be the next Steward, we as yet have no
Ufficial authority." We beg leave to in
'r form our neighbor that we have official
authority for saying that Mr. M. hat been
-appointed Steward for the coming year.
" If ho is not -allowed to fill the position, it
I will bo simply by reason that sufficient
? outside pressure has been brought to bear
upon the new Board of Directors to cause
'them to annul the appointment. We know
this is being attempted we know that
efforts are being made to oust Mr. Moore
r still, it is undeniably a fact that the
appointment ha? been made as herein
stated. . . .
The Dem. & Sent, further says : "If
.he (Mr. Moore) were appointed, it was
- not done in accordance with the usages
and precedents which heretofore governed
the Directors of the Poor House." Wo
saw this same assertion in the Johnstown
-Democrat that the appointment of the
Steward by the old Board (that is, by the
Board as constituted before the incoming
r of the new Director elected each fall) was
not in accordance with established usages
and precedents. This is either ignorance
or malice. The Steward is ahcays appoin
ted in the fall, just prior to the remodel
ing of the Board. About the last business
done by the old Board is the making this
appointment. We are not aware tchy this
is the case why the old instead of the
new Board makes the appointment but
it is the case. Thus, it would appear that
Mr. Moore was appointed in strict accord-
ance with the usages and precedent here
tofore -coverniDg the Board of Directors
a Board, by the way, which has always
been Democratic.
, The Dem. & Sent, still further Bays :
:If this appointment is to bo made a po.
litical matter, we hope the new .Board,
which is evidently Democratic, will" cut
Mr. .Moore's throat and put some other
man in the position. The Board which
- elected Mr. Moore Steward was also "evi
dently Democratic," it being composed of
.fico Democrats, (Messrs. Butledge and
"Delany,)to ewRepullican, (Mr. Dou-
glas.) So that if politics entered into the
t matter at all, Mr. M. must certainly have
been elected upon the basis of being a good
I Democrat. In view of this, fact, and re-
membering that other fact. that the Dem-toeratia-
party of this county invariably
. obtrude politics wherever it is supposed it
will pay, from the matter of the election
a Couuty Superintendent dowa to the
appointment of a cleric, to the County j
Commissioners, the threat of our cotem
porary to make a political question of this
affair beoomes decidedly satirical.-. When
the Democracy fail to make a political
question of any appointment within their
power, we will be constrained to believe
the millenium to hanl.
We do not cars, particularly, whether
the incoming Steward be Mr. Mooro or
some other man whether he be A Demo
crat or a Republican. We only desire to
see a new man put into the Poor HoucC.
The present incumbent has been tried and
found wanting, and a change is demanded.
This must be for the better it cannot bo

Jottings from the Capital.
Washington City, Nov. C, 1863.
To the Editor of The Alleghanian :
: In compliance with a promise long
since made to you, I sit down to write a
gossiping letter to old friends in Cambria
who read The Alleghanian only a gossip
ing one.
The interest which has recently cen
tered in the disasttr at Cbickamauga, and
in the State elections, is being transferred
to the Congress which will assemble in
about four weeks. Notwithstanding the
assumed defection of such men as Blair
and Rollins oZ Missouri elected as the
friends of the administration, but now
classed . among its enemies a clear Ad
ministration majority in the next House
is an assured fact. The election of the
Speaker and other officers, the organiza
tion of the committees, and all the legis
lation up to the 4th day of March, 1865,
will consequently be controlled by the
President's friends. This favorable result
of the Congressional elections was hardly
hoped for one year ago, when the War
and the Administration were so much
under a oloud of dissent and distrust.
Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, a . veteran
member and a true man, it is supposed
will be the Administration caucus nominee
for Speaker. The Democrats will attempt
to affiliate with some Border State
Unionists, and thus carry the day against
the out-and-out supporters of the Admin
istration, but they- will take nothing by
their writ.
The Demacrats in the Ilouse will want
a leader to start off with. They have
lost a host in Yallaudigham. lie was a
shrewd, bold and dashing parliamentarian,
always vigilant and ready, and generally
in a good humor, with a sniilo frequently
upon his countenance even when deliver
ing his fiercest invectives. He loved to
walk the aisles, or flit from desk to desk,
or be the centre of a knot of members
who voted always as he did. He gloried
in his leadership, and made the most of it.
There was a magic in his boldness and
address which charmed even Lis political
opponents. He is gone, and his mantle
has not fallen upon any of his disciples.
Cox and Fernando Wood will probably
each take up a corner of it. They are
both able politicians, and will work to
gether, but neither of them will be per
mitted to lead as despotically as Valland
igham did.
The first or long session of the next
CongreES will be the tnost stormy in the
history of the country. The opposing
parties will be sqnearly balanced in
numbers in the House, and their policies,
will so widely differ, that important
measures of one party will be fought with
despetation by the other. The impending
Presidential contest will not be like?y to
lessen the acerbity of the strife. In the
Senate, the Administration men are large
ly in a majority, but it must not be for
gotten that the Democrats have received
some valuable accessions to their strength,
and will give trouble. Per contra, the
Administration party gains in ability in
the House over its opponents. Boutwell,
of Mass. ; Generals Schenck and Garfield,
of Ohio; Williams and O'Neil, of Penn. ;
Winter Davis, of Maryland; Clay and
Smith, of Kyo Blaine, of Maine, and
others all men of tried loyalty and supe
rior attainments, will take the place of
Peace Democrats or third-rate Republicans.
Thaddeus Stevens, the ablest Administra
tion member of the last House, is a
member of the next.
In a political way, next to the meeting
of Congress, speculation concerning the
next Presidency is much indulged in here
in Washington. The result of tho recent
elections renders the election next year
ot a President who is unconditionally for
the Union and a vigorous , war policy, a
foregone conclusion. The only question
isj who will be the man ? Tho President
h understood not to haya.' declared his
intentions regarding a second term ; Sec
retary Chaso will be-urged by a very
strong influence, including what is termed
the "Radical element ;" Ben. Butter hai
hesrs of admirers, but, as yet, no prominent
politicians or journalists have openly
declared for him. In all human probabil
ity, our next President will be either Mr.
Lincoln, Secretary Chase, or Gen. Butler.
Grant may loom up in the same way that
General Taylor did, but it is not now
probabla. The country needs a statesman
at the head of aairs more than a soldier.
Banks, owing to his wise generalship and
his large experienca in civil affairs, is a
possible candidate in the event of Lincoln,
Chase and Butler failing. M'CIellan is
generally regarded as the probable nomi
nee of the Democracy, or'Peace party, as
it has got to be called. It is hinted that
his friends will make an effort in Congress
next winter to whitewash his military
reputation in other words, make a martyr
of him. . ,
Speaking of Secretary Chase suggests
the remark that the greatest match matri
monial of the day is to come off at the
Secretary's mansion on the 12th instant.
His oldest daughter, Kate, a talented, well
educated and highly accomplished woman,
is then and there to wed the rich and
honored Governor Sprague, of Rhode
Island a young and almost boyish-looking
gentleman, who has been Governor -of his
State and a Brigadier General in the army,
and is now U. S. Senator elect for the
term of six years, ne is one of the rich
est manufacturers in New England. The
groom has seen about thirty years the
bride certainly less than twenty-five. The
event is to be emphatically a marriage in
high life.
: : Great dissatisfaction is express! here
by the true friends of the Administration
at the unconcealed Pro-Slaveryism of the
Postmaster General, Montgomery Blair.
He recently delivered a speech at Rock
ville, Md , not far from this city, in which
he uttered the usual Pro-Slavery denunci
ation of '"Abolitionism." He was most
vile in his abuse, and commended himself
greatly to the favor of Slavery worshipers
and the enemies of the Union. Men who
are accustomed to reason from cause to
effect, and who have an impulsive sense of
abstract justice, do not hesitate to say that
the Postmaster should have had Lis seat
in the Cabinet made vacant the next day.
But the President has too much kindness
of heart ever to hurt anybody's feelings if
he can possibly avoid it. It is raid that
Montgomery is a candidate for tba.ll. S.
Senatorship from Maryland, now held by
Governor flicks, and which is to1 be filled
this winter by a Legislature elected one
year ago, and which is supposed to har
monize with the Postmaster on the Slavery
or Emancipation question. Frank Blair
is playing a similar game in Missouri, and
from the same motives. Two U. S. Sen
ators are to be elected ere long in Missouri,
and Frank wants to be one of them. -
We are in the midst of Indian summer,
and, although our sunsets are glorious, the
season here as a whole will not compare
with that of more northern latitudes. The
Iudiao summer of Minnesota and Wiscon
sin is the finest I have ever witnessed,
while that of Pennsylvania is far in
advance of the Washington exhibition. It
is customary here to have this popular
season remain with us until about the first
of December. Your readers, therefore,
who are under the impression that Meade
will do no more fighting before winter,
can dismiss their fears. There will be a
big fight or a first-c!ass Rebel skedaddle
before this month goes out. There are
rumors in the air, too, that Grant and
Thomas will move upon the enemy's1 works
within the same period.
This city has made wonderful strides
in improvements since I came here two
vears ago. A net work of horse railroads
covering the whole city is one of the
fruits of Northern enterprise and the war.
The enlargement and beautifying of the
War and Navy Departments ; the rapid
progress that has been made toward the
completion of the Treasury Building and
the Capitol; tie erection of two large and
costlv theatres, and hundreds of stores aod
dwellings ; the inauguration ot a system
atic street-paving reform ; the abolishment
of Slavery, and the revision of the Courts
of Justice, are other gratifying fruits.
But much yet remains to be done to make
this city what it ought to be. Gambling
houses, drinking saloons, and yet more
disreputable places, abound in every di
rection. Life is not as secure here as it
is in more populous cities. The streets
are full of all sorts of filth. The city is
'over-crowded, and rents and board bills
are enormously high. But notwithstand
ing all. these unfavorable features, the
health of the city is good, atd we have
not yet beeu visited by any form , of epi
demic disease; which is a wonder.
Dr. Wm. A. Smith, of your town, is
Assistant Surgeon in Columbia College
Hoepital, located about one mile from the
city. The Dr. is.iu good health, and has
the air of a veteran of the Regular Army.
George N. Smith, a ;Pay master in the
Army of tho Potomac, has his office here.
Jack Rhey and Wm. H." Gardner are still
"nothing but clerks," like your correspon
dent. Clerks in the Departments here,
by the way, occupy a sort of mongrel
social position. They are sometimes
classed with teamsters, and sometimes
wittr Members of Congress. I met J chn
S. Rhey, Esq., of your town, on the
Avenue to-day.
Yery Truly, Yours, Ac,
JAMES M. SWANK.
- Important Decision.
The much mooted question as tc wheth
er tho payment of $300 commutation
money exempts a dratted man from ser
vice for three years or not has been deci
ded, in conformity with the dictates of
equity and common sense, in the affirma
tive. Following is the Provost Marshal
General's circular settling, the point, and
giving some information not generally
known on other points :
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 Col. Robert
Xugent, A. A. P. M. General, N. Y. : The
representations made by Dean Richmond
and Peter Cagger, in a printed circular
dated Oct. 27, 1863, in respect to the action
of the Provost Marshal General.are untrue.
It is not truo that the State of New York
is charged as with a deficiency for every
citizen who has paid the $300 commuta
tion money, receiving no credit therefor.
On the contrary, the State receives the
same credit for a man who has paid his
commutation a3 if the drafted citizen had
gone in person or furnished a substitute,
and in like manner towns which have
raised the money to pay their quota,
receive the same credit as if actual sub
stitutes had been furnished. The Presi
dent has ordered that every citizen who
has paid the three hundred commutation
shall receive the same credit therefor as if
he had procured a substitute, and is
exonerated from military service for the
time which he was drafted, to wit : three
years. As the misrepresentations of Dean
Richmond and Peter Cagger have been
published and circulated for electioneering
pnrposes, it is proper that you give them
immediate correction.
JAMES B. FRY, Pro. Mar. General.
Thk Late Elections. New York
gives the Union State ticket about 30,000
majority a fair Union gain of 40,000
over our vote last year.
Gov.' Andrews is re-elected in Massa
chusetts by 30,000 majority.
Maryland, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri
and Minnesota also give Union majorities.
New Jersey, although tho Union gain
is large, has gone for the Copperheads.
This is the only State, holding an election
this fall, in which we have not been
victorious.
Hurrah for tho Union !
Rebel Brutalities.
We have to add one other credible
account to the horrible catalogue of Rebel
cruelties to Union prisoners. The recent
reports of starvation aud other sufferings
which our men are compelled to endure in
Richmond receive the most palpable and
appalling confirmation in the arrival at
Annapolis, on Thursday, of 181 paroled
prisouers, dying of hunger and exposure.
Eight died on the boat, coming up. More
than a third of the rest, say the surgeons,
are beyond help from nourishment or
medicine must helplessly die because
they were denied food and shelter while
prisoners of war in Rebel hands. And
the whole number of these men were in
such a condition of weakness and disease
that they had to be sent to the hospitals
every man of them.
We are past wondering at these atroci
ties. We only wonder when they are not
committed. The record of this war is so
hideously full of them, that they are
no longer to be accounted for as exceptional
barbarities. From Bull Run down to
Chickamauga, we believe there is no
battle-field which has not been crimsoned
by Rebel massacres. What are called
the. rules of civilized warfare are far more
often savagely violated than decently
observed by the Rebels. Grant if you
please that something is to be pardoned
in the heat of battle though the men to
whom it is to be pardoned aro the men
who call themselves the "chivalry" of
America. But though you grant that a
thousand times over, it does not touch the
case of the slow tortures persistently, sys
tematically iuflicted on many, many thou
sands of Union prisoners, some of whom
have died under the torture, and some of
whom yet live to tell the tale. The
'Libby Prison" in Richmond has long
been a name of horror at the North, but
we believe the hundredth part of the truth
about it and about ether Rebel dungeons
is not yet publicly known. Much of it
will always remain po, or will be the
obscure tradition of separate villages and
homesteads all over the country to which
sufferers have returned ; but enough" will
pass into history to coyer its perpetrators
with infamy forever, and to remind pos
terity that a people ' once brutalized by
Slavery have forfeited their civilization
and humanity, as well as their regard for
justice and honor.
tuT The bombardment of Fort Sumter
i still going on. y
The Meaning of It.:
The fact that every loyal State every
State that is not under the feet of the
Confederate Rebels has this year elected
the ticket whose hostility to thoMJ Rebels
and'friendship for the National Adminis
tration was most decided is very signifi
cant. The States which, at their latest
election respectively, have indicated their
confidence in and good will toward the
Federal Executive are as follows:
MAINE,
NEW HAMPSHIRE,
MASSACHUSETTS,
RHODE ISLAND,
CONNECTICUT,
VERMONT.
NEW4 YORK,
PENNSYLVANIA,
DELAWARE,
MARYLAND,
OHIO,
INDIANA,
ILLINOIS, .
MICHIGVN, . ;.
WISCONSIN,
lOWA,
MINNESOTA,
KANSAS,
KENTUCKY,
MISSOURI,
OREGON.
WEST VIRGINIA,
CALIFORNIA,
Contra, br a meager and fading majority,
NEW JERSEY.
New Jersey might have been carried
with the rest, and we think would have
been, had there been a Governor and
Congressional Delegatiou to elect this
year. As it is, there is a Union cain in
either House and in the popular vote. .
Now, this result means something,
especially in view of the strikiugly differ
ent result last year, . It certainly does not
mean, what Lord Lyons wrote Larl Russel
that the results of our last year's Elections
did mean that the people of the loyal
States were discouraged at the ill success
of the War for the Union, and therefore
inclinedto let the Rebels have their own
way. On the contrary, all realize and
agree that it means the very reverse of
this. Some of the opposition journals
talk as though it indicated an indifference
to Civil Liberty ; but this is quite unjust.
It is Slavery, not Liberty, that is viewed
with increased and increasing disfavor by
our people. And, as Mr. Clay suggested
that Texas, a permanent acquisition, should
not be rejected because of Slavery, a tem
porary institution, so the people of to-day
acquiesce in some temporary restriction
of their liberties in times of convulsion
and public peril, ior the sake of their
permanent establishment and vindication.
They endure the summary doings of Pro
vost Marshals and Commanders of Depart
ment1, in the assuranco that they are
striking the shackles off the limbs of
millions throughout future generations
not the shackles merely of slaves, but
those which for two generations have
padlocked the lips and fettered the pens
of lovers of Universal Justice and Liberty
throughout half our country, while sub
jecting them to ignomy and sacrifices all
over the land. The people hope and trust
that this is now to cease, and in that faith
ndure and even welcome present privation
and suffering.
The conclusion that they mean to have
the Rebellion put square down, is not ours
merely. All the journals positively agree
in it. Some define it as a delusion, tend
ing to ruinous practical errors ; but they
do not the less recognize its existence.
Several of the leading Opposition journals
attribute the result of the recent Elections
mainly to the predominance of this resolu
tion. And they are not far wrong.
Let us, then, all agree in this as one
point settled. The people may or may
not approve arbitrary arrests : they may or
may not approve the general conduct of
the War for the Union ; they may and
may not believe that, in order that the
Union may be truly and conclusively
restored, Slavery will have to die ; and
they, certainly do hold that the Union
must and shall be preserved, even though
to this end it should be necessary to hurt
the feelings of traitors vand Rebels. They
don't intend to creep in at the back door
of the Rebel Confederacy ; they don't
mean to coax or buy the return of the
Nation's prodigal sons : but they do mean
that the Federal Republic founded by
Washington and his compatriots shall be
upheld, and that not a stripe nor star shall
be erased from its banner. Let us, then,
consider this point settled, and cast about
for the means of giving steady and certain
effect to the public will. And if any of
the States which are now under the Mili
tary power of the Rebellion wish for peace,
let them be assured that it can only and
at any moment be secured by submission
to the Constitution, laws and rightful
authorities ot our common country. N.
Y. Tribune.
BURNSIDE ON THE WATCH. The
latest Richmond papers are full of indi
cations of a campaign against General
Burnside in East Tennessee. It is evi
dently presumed by the rebel' journals
that the, progress of the movement is such
that no danger is to be apprehended from
public intimations of its purpose. The
position of General Burnside can, with a
reasonable degree of vigilance, be held
against any force that the enemy is likely
to throw against him. They have no
direct railroad communication with any
point nearer than a hundred miles to
Knoxville. And if the force advanced
were so great as to make a stand by the
Army of the Ohio hopeless, it certainly
could make good its retreat to Cumber
land Gap if approached from the South,
or to Chattanooga or M'Minnvillc if
attacked from the East. The repossession
of East Tennessee by the rebels would be
one of the most considerable disasters that
could befall our arms. It would open a
gate for inroads into Kentucky, redouble
the danger of interruption of the line of
communication of the Army of the Cum
berland, and very greatly embarrass the
operations that wo may presume are pro
jected by Gen. Grants We are not pre
pared to believe tho danger imminent but
..
to recover their lost ground inTeBnesP
