ComttllMWealth ojf Pennsylvania :
Unto Ood, oor Creator, we tire Indebted
for liTe and all Ita blessings. It, therefore,
becomes us at times to render unto Him
the homage of grateful hcf.rts; and in the
performance of our sacred duties, to setupart
ppecial periods to ''enter into His pates with
thanksgiving and into His courts with praise."
For this purpose, and in accordance with an
established custom, I have designated Thurs
day, TUB 2tiTH DAY Or XOVEMBKR NEXT, and I
recommend that the people of this Common
wealth on that day refmin from their usual
avocations and pursuits, and assemble at
their chosen places of worship, to "praise the
name of God and mngnify Him with thanks
giving;"' devoutly to acknowledge their de
pendence, and lay upon His altars the cheer
ful offerings of grateful hearts.
Let us thank Him with Christian humility
for health and prosperity, abundant harvests,
the protection of commerce, and advance
ment of scientific, mechanical and manufac
turing interests ; our progress in education,
morality, virtue and social order; the increase
of our material wealth ; exemption from pes
tilence and contagious diseases and the de
structive lufluences of war ; for having Dies
sed us aa a peope and a nation, and opened
before us the brightest prospects tor the iu
ture ; and for all other blessings, both tem
poral and spiritual.
With sure reliance upon Divine favor, let
ns pray for the forgiveness of our sins
king public confession of our epend'ence,
that we may continue worthy 0f fij3 parental
love and protecting cr? - " viva and
icitgujus nner'.a And political rights may
remain 'unimpaired; that we may remember
with gratitude our country's brave defenders,
and cherish with sympathy their widows
and orphan children ; and that our paths
through life may be directed by the example
and instructions of the Redeemer, who died
that wc might enjoy all the blessings which
flow therefrom, and eternal life in the woild
to come.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal
of the State, at Harrisburg, this twenty
eighth day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-ty-eight,
and of the Commonwealth the
ninety-third. John W. Geaby.
By the Governor:
F. Jordan, Sec'y of the Commonwealth.
Constitutional Representation.
The XIV th amendment to the National
Constitution, ratified before the adjourn
ment of the last Congress, provides that
when any State shall deny to any of its
citizens the privilege of the ballot on ac
count of race or color, the number of its
representatives shall be diminished in the
same ratio as the number so disfranchised
bears to the population of such State.
Certain States, Kentucky and Maryland,
each contain a large percentage of popu
lation to whom suffrage is denied for the
causes mentioned in the amendment, and
consequently are not legally entitled to the
same representation in Congress which
they have heretofore had. Delaware
would be in the same predicament were it
not she has never had more than one rep
resentative, of which she cannot so long
as she remains a State be deprived.
In order that this provision of the
amendment may be carried into effect, it
is necessary that Congress make a new
apportionment of the representatives
among the different States. But this,
Congress failed to do at its last session,
most probably because it would necessarily
have to be done at the close of an extra
ordinarily long sitting. The last appor
tionment made by Congress authorized
to Kentucky nine and to Maryland five
representatives, and in pursuance of this
apportionment those States at the late
elections chose the number allotted. It is
evident that the number chosen is not in
compliance with the Constitution. It is
equally evident that they acted in perfect
good faith. The question now comes up,
shall these representatives be allowed to
hold their scats in the coming Congress 'I
It is argued by those who say they shall
not, that the-number of representatives
elected is in violation of her Constitution,
and is therefore illegal, and as it is not
proper for Congress to say which of these
representatives should ana which should
not retire, the only recourse is to deny the
right of sitting to the entire delegations.
We hold the proposition to be rotten in
point of logic, and impolitic in point of
practice. First of all, we maintain that
no State should bo deprived of her repre
sentation for light, or trivial, or mere tech
nical, cause. Next, as a principle, we say
tiat no person, real or corporate, should
or can rightfully be held to the conse
quences of violating a Jaw so long as the
lawm iking power has left it impossible for
him to obey it. If this is not the coiTcct
view, then not only may States be de
prived at any time of representation in the
National councils, but fines may be impos
ed, property confiscated, and the citizen
biuibulf eabt into prison for not doing what
he could not do. It is an old and long
settled principle of construing laws that
acts of the Legislature which command
wh.it is iai possible to be performed are of
no binding force. In the present case, it
was utterly impossible for any State to
comply with the amendment until Con
gress had paved the way by a new appor
tionment. How, then, shall a State be
punished for its non-compliance ? Hut it.
is no less against good law than aainst
good comniou souse that while the culpa
bility, if any, rests uron Congress. tlu
penalty should be visited upon Keyi-
ttfccfcy and Maryland. But if the
principle is good against one State,
it is equally good applied to alL
Suppose, then, that the States representing
a quorum of Congress had been placed in
the same condition as Kentucky and Ma
ryland now ore. Their representatives
could not have legally taken their seats.
Nor could the respective States have elec
ted others, for it is the duty of Congress,
not the States, to make the apportionment,
the Constitution expressly so providing.
There would then be this dilemma : The
States could not elect under the old ap
portionment without a violation of the
Constitution. Nor could they themselves
apportion representatives unless in viola
tion of that instrument. As a conse-
scquence, Congress could never
again
constitutionally assemble. It is useless to
say this is an extreme case. It is a very
possible case. But extreme cases are the
tests of rules where the rules r,'t on
principle. Where a law dyoS not sccurc
its own enforcement is thc duty of tne
Legislature provide for that enforce
mo.Li; Dy proper legislation. Until it does
so do, it can rightfully hold no person ac
countable. It will be time enough to talk
of excluding these States from representa
tion when they shall have refused to abide
by an apportionment made under the
XlVth amendment. But if the argument
is good for anything, it was just as good
the day the amendment was adopted as
now, and the delegations from Kentucky
and Maryland should have instantly been
ousted from their seats. There is no such
law nor logic nor common reason that
would exclude States from representation
guilty of no wrong nor even of neglect.
Test of Character.
Each individual of every community
must necessarily have some sort of char
acter. It is possible for him to be with
out reputation, but a character is as cer
tain to be a consequence of his existence
as that death should follow birth. More
than this his character may be one sort,
and his reputation another. Character is
what the man is, and may be described as
the sum total of his habits. Reputation
is what he is reputed to be. It is possible
that .a man be a scoundrel, and have the
reputation of a saint ; or be a saint, and
y et looked upon as dishonest. A man's
reputation should accord with his charac
ter, and it is important to the community
in which he lives, as well as to the State
at large, that it do so accord. Nor is
there any agency by which the two may
be made to harmonize other th?.n such as
each community establishes for itself.
The law is powerless in the case, for the
plain reason that it could enforce no rule
that it might adopt. But were it other
wise, it should not prescribe a rule, for to
do so would be to usurp the province of
private judgment and to destroy all indi
viduality of thought and action. The
object to be attained by the adoption of a
rule is the good of the State or communi
ty. It ought to be such u One as would
tend, in its application, to make sincere
men and good citizens. Now, what is
such a rule ? Let us suppose a case : A
man of inquiring mind concludes, how
ever mistakenly, that the Christian religion
is false, but he perceives that if he openly
avows his conviction, he will lose his re
spectability, by which . term is usually
designated the possession of an entree to
"good society;" and if he is a man in
business, he will lose a great portion of his
custom also. As a consequence, he shrinks
from the avowal, continues a profession
which he regards as a mere superstition,
and at last almost imperceptibly to himself
becomes the chief of canting hypocrites.
But would this be the case if a man were
judged solely by what ho is and does, rath
er than by what he professes ? In the
days of the English commonwealth, when
thc Puritanic influence had reached its
hight, thc most sincere Furitan was put
to the blush in all his professions and all
his scriptural phrases and sepulchral tones
by thc most graceless hypocrites and
shameless libertines. So it will continue
to be to the extent that men acquire" de
ference and respectability by virtue of
their professions. Adherence to a partic-
i ular system, assent to certain dogmas, or
.idhsion to particular forms, should
weigh liPthing in our estimate of charac
ter, or in the confidence or the lack of it
which wc may show towards cur fellow".
If a man dots well, if he love justice and
hate wrong, if he is industrious in his hab
its and upright in his life, the motives that
move him must be good. The question is
net, is his theology correct t or his philos
ophy sound ? We yield to none in love of
a correct theology and sound philosophy.
But the very end and aim of these is pu
rity of life, industry, cleanliness, and love
of justice, It may be objected, and plaus
ibly, too, that a community whose inquiry
is directed to what a man is and does rath
er than to what a man believes aud thiuks,
undermines the foundation of religion aid
encourages skepticism and infidelity. 3he
objection does not weigh much with as,
nevertheless we give it this answer : M,ny
persons assume an air of religion an c as
sent to Christian truth, because the ias3
of those about them do the same. , Bit if
Christian truth, or any other truth, rere
less taken for granted, it would be moe of
ten accepted intelligently and more fre
quently rejected, not because thoroug. in
vestigation could lead to different reiilts,
but because it would sometimes be neoher
candid nor thorough, and very frequ'atly
as crotchety as the investigator himscf.
Yet this would result : Insincere 7xm9
having nothing to gain by profession of a
particular belief or observance of foi
would have no temptation to maV thoone
or observe the other. Tnere wouljbe

Intemperate Zeal.
J
I wo weeks ago, an article appeared in
these columns relative to the alleged dem
ocratic election frauds in the 21st Con
gressional district f of this State. Tliii
article contained, in the general specified
tion of frauds charged, a statement to thetown -Williamsburg and Newry, is talk'ed
effect that certain foreign-born inmates of
the St. Xavier Catholic Monastery at
Youngstown, Westmoreland county, voted
at the October election without first hav
ing gone through the formality of obtain
ing naturalization papers. The article in
ouestion was copied from the Uniontown
Standard and duly credited to that paper,
and was published by us as an item of
current political report, and without a
word of comment. But the editor of the
Freeman, who imagined he saw a point to
be made in his own favor, fished out the
extract referred to above, and, maliciously
assuming it to be our utterance, and en
deavoring to make his readers believe it
such, proceeded to say :
"Now we will bet either of the editors of
the Alleghanian $500 that not a "member of
'the Catholic Monastery of St. Xavier' voted
unless he was either a native or naturalized
citizen. Such stuff we would expect from
Covode, a born Know-Nothing, and his toad
ies, but the Alleghanian does not believe it,
and ought not to publish it. It is pretty hard
fare for its Catholic readers to charge that
their clergymen and religieuse are guilty
of perjury; and violation of the election laws."
The editor of the Freeman is over
anxious to display his zeal in his new-found
faith. -We made no accusation against
St. Xavier ; wemerely printed a news
paragraph as we found it in an exchange.
St. Xavier may be a very nice institution,
three stories high, built of brick, and sup
plied with all the modern c.rz?;f nces
and on the other hand, it may be an hum
ble, unpretentious concern we don't know
which. Its inmates who voted may have
all been legally qualfied to exercise the
elective franchise ; and again, maybe some
or all of them oujrht to have been non
voters. We know nothing about this
either, and it can scarcely be said Oi us
that we particularly care. But we do
know that the Freeman has resorted to
a very low trick to injure us and gain ap
plause for itself from a certain class of
people. The ability to offer to bet $500
may be a nice thing, but the possession of
at least a modicum of honesty and common
decency is a nicer. The editor of the
Freeman . may be largely endowed in the
former respect, but we fear he is lacking
in the latter.
U. S. Senator.
Our next Legislature will elect a Re
publican successor to Hon. Charles A.
Buckalew in the United States Senate.
Who will be thc man ? The names of a
large number of Republicans are mention
ed in that connection all good men and
true, and worthy and well qualified to -fill
the office. But the name of Hon. John
Scott, of Huntingdon, appears to loom up
most prominently in the foreground.. Mr.
Scott is everywhere known to be one of
the ablest men in the State. We heard a
gentleman say, not long since, that he had
"listened to all the best speakers of either-
party during the late campaign, and that
John Scott was a head and shoulders
above any and all of them in point of gen
eral ability' This is high, but merited,
praise. k Then, he is a representative Re
publican -an advocate and' exponent of
the adranced principles of thc great Re
publican creed. We trust the State will
honor itself by electing Mr. Scott to rep
resent it in the upper house of Congress.
He will reflect a higher measure of credit
upon the State in that capacity than prob
ably any other available man.

amensing, Carbon county, Pennsylvania,

the vote of a negro, his ballot being for

gone for Grant, and Oregon for Seymour,

Pedestbianism Extraordixauy
The celebrated Edward Payson. Weston is
preparing -for a pedestrian trip from 13an
jror,.Me.t to St. Paul, Minn., and
back to New York, a 'distance of 5,000
miles. lie will fctart Irom Bangor at
i o'clock p. m., on Tuesday, Dec. I, and
mnt reach the City Hall, New-York, on
or before 4 p. m. oo the 11th of March,
the actual walking time being, omitting
Sundays, 86 days. Ilia route, as recorded
in his time-table, is as follows : From Ban
gor due west to Bulfalo; thence through
Michigan to Chicago: thence to Prescott,
where he will cross the Mississippi; thence
up the river bank to St. Paul, which ci'y
he must reach on or Deioro tne zjtn oi
January. To makehislull distance of"5,-
000 miles, he will, on his return, make a
detour through Minnesota and Iowa, and
down to St. Louis, and thence he will travel
through Tcrro Haute, Indianapolis, Cincin
nati, Columbus, AN heeling, fcteubenville,
Pittsburgh, lloliioaysburg, Iiarn?burg,
Baltimore and Philadelphia, to Ncw-Yoik.
All ferrv crossings are to be drducted from
the measurement of distances. Mr. Wes
ton must actually walk 5,000 miles within
