Consistent Action.
On Monday a week ago, the following
preamble and resolutions were offered in
the House of Kepreeentativca at llarris
Lur :
4 )Y!ureas, It appcerp from the net of in
corporation by the Murrlnnd Legislature,
rnd by resolutions of the Board of Trustees
uf the Antietsm Cemetery, that it is intended
that rebel dead, who fell in the bite unholy
struggle ngainst the life of the nation, are 10
be interred within the same enclosure and
receive the same honors as bestowed by loyal
hearts and bands upon loyal dead ; there
fore, "Resolved, That our worthy Chief Magis
trate baa, by the noble and patriotic stnnd
he has taken in refusing to expend the ap
propriation placed at his disposal by the last
legislature, placed the loyal citizens of
Pennsylvania, and all true luvers of liberty
very where under renewed obligations of
platitude to him, and given to the world
Another honorable tvideuce of his fearless
lTP.ltv and unflinching integrity to pritici
i'i'e. "Resolved, That we most heartily endorse
the rction of Gov. Geary in withholding said
appropriation, and pledge to him our hearty
support, ic "
Our Legislature made an appropriation
last winter for the purpose of aiding in
the adornment cf Antietam Cemetery,
and the removal thereto of the bodies of
the Union soldiers who fell ia the battle
of Autietam. In the meantime, by aid of
the votes of rebel soldiers, a Legislature
was elected in Maryland the members of
which were for the most part in hearty
sympathy with the rebellion. This Leg
islature, aided by the Marylaud Board of
Trustees of the cemetery, determined to
inter the rebel dead and pay them joint
liGGDra tv it h these who fought and died
en the 6ide of the Union. The very act !
is a fraud upon Pennsylvania. Governor
bleary wisely withheld the appropriation.
Yet every Democrat in the House declares
by his vote that between the rebel dead
and the Union dead there U no difference
both are alike worthy of honor ! The
set is not imply an act of respect to the
dead; but is a declaration of the estima
tion iu which Pennsylvania holds the
cause for which they fought. Every
rebel's grave represents the cause for
whioh be died, every Union soldier's
grava the cause for which he yielded bis
life. When a State or the nation at large
provides money for thecstablishment of
cemeteries for the Union dead, the act is
done because we honor those who fell in
their country's defence. But the Dem
ocrats of Pennsylvania would by their
nets teach this generation and all to come
in the iulure that the rebel is worthy of
as much honor as ho who fought for the
Uuion I
J'Ut L7" Hills.
Two bills have been introduced into
the Legislature, n!h of which is in
tended to be of benefit to the people of
any part of the State. Both arc calcula
ted simply to line the pockets of a few
men, at the expense of industry aud en
terprise. The firat of these measures is
an act to authorize the erection of a boom
00 tho Alleghany river, similar to the one
now in operation at Williainsport on the
Susquehanna. The other is to create an
inspector of oil at Philadelphia, with
deputies throughout tho S'ate. This bill
an first introduced dirtcted a tax of ten
cents a barrel, for costs of inspection, to
bo imposed ou all oils. In the present
cjuJition of the oil trade, such a. tax
would realise $100,000 a year. Of course
ir would drive the oil trade so fur as is
possible from the limits of. our State.
B it the measure was eo iuiuuitous that it
wa modified so a9 to provide that no more
1 ban 85,000 should be received as emolument-?.
The first measure is scarcely less
monstrtfus. In the counties about the

Trulls or History.
The U. 8- troops engaged in the battle
of Chepultcpec, Mexico, experienced con
siderable trouble in crossing ditches dug
by the enemy to strengthen bis position.
In the rush and hnrryof the charge upon
that fortress, it was found necessary to
jump several of these ditched. John W.
Geary then Lieut.-Colonel of the 2d
regiment Pa. Vols., now Governor of this
State while attempting a gymnastic ex
periment of this kind, was so unfortunate
as to alight, not on the opposite bank, but
on f-pace, and fell back into the chasm.
This unlucky circumstance has since been
eagerly seized upon by certain parties and
paraded as an evidence of cowardice on
the part of Geary. These parties, by a
strange oversight, always forget to men
tion in the same connection that Geary
was not alone in bis misfortune that
scores of battle-scarred veterans, better at
fighting than jumping, likewise failed to
clear tho ditch. They also forget to men
tion that Geary speedily extricated him
self from his unpleasant dilemma and
gallantly led his men to the charge-Mnto
the heart of the fortress to victory.. Is
it fair ? :
Those who now stigmatize Geary as a
coward and bis Mexican career as a "fail
ure," are Democrats. Shortly after the
battle of Chepultcpec, Geary ran for and
was elected Colonel of the regiment.
Every Dcmccrat in the command voted fur
him fur that position. Geary was then a
Democrat. We mention this episode
merely to show that Democratic opposi
tion to the man did not arise from any
supposed action of his at Chepultepec, but
from a totally different cause namely,
his change of politic?, about the year 'Cl,
from Democratic to Republican. Had he
remained firm in his allegiance to the
Democratic party, those who are now
seeking to belittle him would be singing
peans of praise in his behalf, the whilo
swearing he was the bravest man that
ever trod Mexican Eoil.
The career ot Geary in the late, war was
a most brilliant one, and proves him the
exact reverse of a coward. The Demo
crats may not admire the manner iu which
he dealt with the rebels, but they will
miserably fail if they attempt to write
him down. The dirt they throw at him
will turn to snow upan his escutcheon.
Corruption.
"When certain very respectable citizens
of Camlria county signed, in blink, the
petition of Mr. John J. Glas?, afterwards
erroneously filled out, contesting the seat
of Col. Linton in the State Assembly,
our neighbor, the Freeman, and other of
our Democratic cotemporaries, raised such
a cry about corruption that one would
have thought the whole body politic about
to fall to pieces from very rottenness.
Ejaculations about the purity (!) of the
Democratic party were as plenty as toasts
at a wfne party. And sure enough, that
purity (!) is made lamentably manifest
by the recent disclosure of the occasion
of the cause cf the defeat of Mr. Itobiu
son for State Senator in the Twcnty-firsi
district .by the Democratic nominee.
Well, indeed, might O'Mara be got out of
the way ! Well, indeed, may another
nnt ahoacther
unknown in these
parts,
keep himself out of the limits 01
his native State ! This infamous corrup
tion of the ballot is not the work of ob
scure men. The lights and leaders of
the faithful were tho engineers of it.
Even the Chairman of their State Com
mittee, the Honorable Wm. A. Wallace,
feems to be implicated. We trust, fcr
the honor of the Commouweakb, that this
whole affair will be sifted to the bottom
and exposed to the gaze of an indignaut
people.

JOSEPHINE, BY M UIILBACIT. The
Muhlbach well sustains her high fame fn
this new historical romance. Indeed; we
hardly know whether we ought not to
drop the word romance, and call it pJain
history at once. It reads like a histdry;
it is made up of known facts ; its herldne
and its heroes were once flesh aud bipod,
and not all tha Mublbach could invent :a
more wonderful series of events thao b'efel
the sweet young creole who shed the only
soft human light that gleams across: the
pathway of Napoleon. The book is called
"The Empress Josephine," but it far "less
concerns her history and character as the
sharer of a throne, than as the sovereign
mistress of one wayward heart, the only
woman whom Napoleon ever loved, and
his cold sacrifice of whom brought down
upon him the terrible penalty of hi3 sub
jugation and solitary death. This gTcat
story of actual life, the most marvellous
perhaps to be found in all the auoah) of
courts, is told in a manner worthy of ; the
theme by the famous German novelist.
It is more of a love tale than eouie of her
other books, and shows her to great advan
tage as a delicate analyst of the grand
passion. The pictures, we predict, will
command general admiration. Tbeyaro
not behind the best of those which irra
diate the dullness of the English maga
zines. Gaston Fay is the artist. He is
an American, we understand, and we bail
his appearance as a promised relief from
the long reign ot artistic mediocrity. 'For

A few days ago a most cuccessful
swindle was perpetrated on Sir. Shaffer,
of Walker township, Huntingdon county.
The way it was done is as follows : A
man called at the bouse of Mr. Shaffer,
aud while there two Jew peddlers calledj
and offered two gold watches for frale.
The individual who wag there first pro
posed to buy them, and offered 8200.00
for tbe"u, which the Jews refused saying
that they were worth 300.00. Before
they left, they stated to Mr. S. that they
were short of funds, and that if he would
loan them $200.00 for a day or two they
would leave him the watches as security.
Mr. S. gave them two hundred dollars,
and took the watches, but aa they did not
return according to promise, he had the
watches examined and found that they
were the meanest kind of bogus watches,
worth cot more than five dollars each.
Mr. S. made efforts to find tho swindlers,
but was unsuccessful.

A Democratic View.
The New York World has a Harrisburg
corrcsmndeot, who writes as follows :
"The Republican State Convention of
this State will meet in Philadelphia,
March llth, to nominate candidates for
Auditor-General and Surveyor-General,
and to select four delegates to represent
the State at largo in the Republican
National Convention. The Curtin and
Cameron wings of the party have already
been brought into direct antagonism in
several of the counties which have elected
delegate.-. Cameron, though occupying
the dignified position of an United States
Senator, must have bis say in the local
politics of every county in the Common
wealth, and the bitter fights and divisions
which have already been witnessed are the
results of Jiis arrogant and selfi-h interfer
ence. The cousequence is, and naturally
enough, a bitter feud between the friends
of Cameron and Curtin, the former press
ing the claims of General Geary for Vice
President, aud the latter seeking the
support of looal delegates for the same
honor. Cameron counts among his sup
porters such men as John C. Kunkel,
Elislia W. Davis, Speaker of the House ;
Charles Gibbons, Benjamin Harris Brews
ter, John Covode, Wayue McVeigh, and
George Landon, while Curtin ranks among
his adherents the eoldier element of the
party, with William D. Kelley, Harry
White, John Cessna, R. Biddle Roberts,
and like politicians. A decidly rich if
not a very quarrelsome time may there
fore be expected upon the meeting of the
llth of March Convention. From the
tone of the Radical presses, it is evident
that Grant will bo indorsed for President.
There is no contest among the Republican
politicians for the nominations of Auditor
General and Surveyor General, and the
present incumbents, John F. Hartranft
and Jacob M. Campbell, will be renomi
nated without opposition,"

We acknowledge the receipt, from lion.
Harry White, of the Free Railroad Law,
reported by Mr. Coleman in the Senate.
It provides that niue or more persons
may form an association to build a rail
road. They are required to sign articles
setting forth the name of the company,
termiui of the road, years of intended
operation, amount of capital stock (which
shall not be less than ten thousand dollars
for every mile of road), number of shares,
places of residence of the President and
of at least six of the directors, &c. These
articles must be acknowledged by three
of the directors before a competent officer
and filed in the office of the Secretary of
State, and the articles shall constitute the
charter of the company.
The article the law provides shall not
be filed and recorded in the off;c3 of the
Secretary of State uutil at lea.-t ten thous
and dollar? of stock for everv mile of
railroad proposed to be made is subscribed
thereto and ten per centum paid thereon
in good faith and in cash to the directors

thereto an affidavit made by at leat three
of the directors named in said articles
that the amount of stock required has
been in good faith subscribed, and ten per
centum paid in cash thereon, and that it
is intended in good faith to coustruct or
to maintain and operate the road men
tioned in such articles of ns;oeiation,

this condition, Miss Sarah J. bmith, a
school teacher in the vicinity, happened
to pass by. Seeing the wounded man,
she went to him andstaunched his wounds,
probably saving bis life. She remained
with him until near nightfall, when he
requested her to leave, as his companions
would probably come in the night and
take him avay. If not, she would fiad
him where he was in the morning, living
or dead. He said he was known by the
name of Tucker, but that his real name
was II. 0. M'Donald, and that he wa3
from Louisville, Ky. Next morning M'
Donald was gone, and Miss Smith knew
uothinjr concerning him afterwards. A
few days ago, Miss Smith (who still
resides in the neighborhood received a
letter from the administrator of II. C. M'

named in the will of the deceased as the
legatee ot 50,000, in consideration of her
having saved the life of bis nephew and

In a very few weeks the Republicans
ot Pennsylvania will meet in Convention to
nominate candidates for Auditor General
and Surveyor General. We have been
closely watching, lately, the expressed pre
ferences of public men who represent our
organization in localities and by journalists
who usually reflect the will of the Repub
lican party. From these sources we
gather that an almost universal feeling in
favor of Hartranft and Campbell prevails
among ItepublicanH, and that the venom 1
nation of thee gentlemen for re-election
to the positions which they now occupy is
now concurred in and demanded by all
parts of the State. It there are other
aspirants in the Republican party for
thee positions we have not seen or heard
of such gentlemen, so that we can, with
great propriety,, endorse the preference
manifested in f:vor of Hartranft and
Campbell. No State ever was served by
more faithful or upright officers, no partv
ever had as representatives of its respect
ability and patriotism, better ier than
John F. Hartranft and Jacob M. Camp

friends, to be proud of the rruka'y confi
