MR. LOWRY On 6 , ARTISTB.Any &R.
RESTS." .
Those of our Republican citizens who
were-accustomed to Ic4: upon our "loyalty"
with grave suspicion, and threaten us with
Fort Lafayette, because we denounced the
arbitrati artists of Mr. Lincoln's Adminis-
tration, must have experienced sonic twitch
logs of conscience in rending the first of Mr.
Lowry's series of letters defending himself
against the attacks of the Gazette. In this
production he admits the charge of that pa•
per that he WU instrumental in releasing a
number of persons o•Lu had btVII imprisoned
for the mere expression of iheir opinions,
and says lie feels "no blush of sliaine" - --"no
doubts of Republican orthodoxy" for the
course he pursued. He acknowledges that
"in ihtiSC exciting di vs of the war" "many
*id men and more weal; tines aeetneil to
loNe their halance"—that what he Jul he
"believed duty both to GO and humanity"
required him to do—that the arrests re . ferred
M were "illegal and unjustitiable,"•—and that
his "chief an4ety"..was to "ward off this
great shame" "which ifttl more to humble our
e.,nniry in the estimate of patriotic men than
rebellion itself. All this i.imply 'n.iterates
our own` views at the time, and, coming from
the pen of the admitted leader of the Repub
lican party in ;his 11,irt . of the State, will do
much towards changinz the views of them
bets of that party in 'rx.s !wet to the poi
tion of Democrats upon the quegtion. It is
a pity that Mr. Lowry did not feel impelled
to make his views publicly known while the
events alluded to were tranipirine:sinee he
might hare prevented much wrom: from be
ine; done, and helped dispel much of the
prontlice which 10* grown out of t CSC - very
nerttrrenee6 that Ae nw.v ehanieterizm as
"illeittil and unjuitifiable."
One of the most important revelations
which Mr. Lowry makes upon this subject
is that in which he states that it was at one
time seriously contemplated to arrest Hon.
Wm. A. Wallace and Goy. Bigler. "Many,"
he says •"were, clamorous for their arrest—
some influenced by excitement, others by
mereehary motives"—but better eounsel t :
prevaih.d,, and he eongratulateshimself upon
haring lktcp one of the incest active in avert
ing the stigut, in which, for their credit let
it be said, "the leading Republicans of the
Legislature and the men of the party" sus:
Mined hint. HOW much basis there was for
the proposed incarceration of these gentle
men we leave Mr. Lowry to tell in his own
language:
- There is this that I may lay of Senator:
Wallace—that while I have and did differ
from him all through the war, as uur Sena
torial record shows, as far,as men could differ,
vet I have always found him in private life
an honorable gentleman and true to his
friends. * And of Governor Bigler this :
tilkt the hardest da\'s work I ever dtd in my
life, was in IS6I, in the hospitals after The
battle of Bull Run, tidruinistering to sick and
wounded soldiers, and that my hest, most
faithful, and un tiring assistan t—lrcowe- many
• .
—was Gov. Bigler."
It seems scarcely ptx:sittle that the period
could ever have exisieci , in this country,
boasting of its freedom, when men like these
cAuld hai.e been dragged from their homes
And thrown into a dungeon without charge
or trial ; and yet, shameful as the fact now
appears, such occurrences did once happen
daily. and citizens claiming to be liberty-
loviuLT,nien sustained the critnt\ while those
who had the ,eourage to stigmatize it as it
de-erred were either treated in the same

Two of these are to be named by her Britan

or inability of any one of the commissioners
the contracting parties are to name another.
They are to meet in Washington and act
there at the earliest possible period. When
the commissioners cannot agree uPon.any of
the claims they are to select as arbitrator one
of the sovereigns of Europe. The decision
thus made is to be final. Every claim is to
be prmenteit within six months of the meet

cases; then the time is to Ix: extended_ three
months longer. The arrangement 104. not

ME
TILE MOUT SPIRIT.
For the utost, part the leading Southern Pa
pers have eschewed the discussion of politics
in any spirit of bittt;rness, and, like a promi-
vent Georaia journal, suggest to the South
ern people the propriety of settling down
calmly . and taking a business view of the sit
uation. Then - do not advise any Southern
State to abate one Jot of her el dais to consti
%titian:Ll equality, or withdraw a single pro
test she may have 'made against the usurpa .
tarns ora radicr.l Congress; hot they advise
"Let not the intellect and energy of the
South be Arhalh• devoted to these themes."
These are wise and timely suggestions. In
stead of rancorous partisan articles, the pens
of the most influential Southern writers are
already devoted.to the consideration of top
ics caleu:ated to attract the attention of cap
italists to the vast resources'of the country,
and by building new railroads, new telegraph
lines, establishing new lines of steamers, erec
ting free schoolhouses, organizing agricultu
ral societies and offering premiums for the
best specimens of agricultural products, not
only restore the South to her pristitie pros
perity, but open n pathway for her to reach
a still higher degree of wealth and greatness
it ts only necessary for our Southern friends
to continue in this course, which is one
Wally demanded by the progress of the age
and of-the -..t.awrican nation particularly, to
insure
,tor them . a complote restoration to
their firmer riglqs and influence:
FENIANISN.
The sea enth 'National Fenian Congress, in
Philadelphia, adjourned on saturday, after a
session of one day only. The Congress was
the largest ever assembled, comprising from
350 to 375 delegates, reptwenting abi ut 75,-

Neill was unanimously re-elected President,
and nine additlcnal Senators chosen. It

The-Era of Crime.
The present period seems to be marked by
a greater amount of crime than has ever been
known in the history of the country. The
papers are full of shocking details, which
make the blood run cold as we read them,
and lead
.one
,to question whether we are
really living in the enlightened age that all
of us are educated to believe. Among the
terrible events that have been heralded to us
during the last week, are three of so peculi
arly horrible a character as to be deserving
of pro in Men t allusion :
Otte is the murder of a woman in Ulster
county, N. Y. She was found by a colored
man, in the dusk of the early moming,lying
in the road, or by the roadside, in the ditch,
still alive and breathing, but unconscious;
and on being removed to a neighboring house,
a bullet hole through her head was dis
covered. She lidgered a day or two, and
expired without having spoken a word It
now turns out that she was a respectable
married woman, whose husband had driven
with her from their home many miles distant,
to the lonely place in the road where she was
found,aud there mnidered her. Ws conduct
for ,a 1 0 0, time past lots been so eccentric,
according to the accounts now published,
that we may expect to see a plea of insanity
set up in his ease, if he is ever brought 'to
trial.
A second shocking murder was that. of
Mr,. Hill, in Philadelphia. The circtn-
stantial evidence indicates that she was killed
with an iron poker, while lying on a sofa in
her own house, by her daughter's husband,
and then thrown from a windoW into the
yard. The supposed murderer, whose name
is Twitchell, is under arrest, and his wife,
the daughter of the murdered woman, also.'
On their way to the prison the wife appealed
if) the husband if he was guilty to confess it,
and exhonerate tier. He is reported uncon
cernedly to have asked, in reply: "Why
slMuld I do such a thing?" His object is
supposed to have been to obtain possession
of the property that would inure to his wife
lw her mother's death.
A third awful' crime is the murder of Mrs,
Fero, in the village of West Davenport ,
Delaware county, N. Y. At fast it was re
ported that she was shot through the head
by a burglar. Her husband told this story.
He said that he was awakened in the night
by man feeling under his pillow; and that
bn his moving, or attempting to raise himself ,
the burglar tired a revolver at him, but the
ball missed 'hint and struck his wife in the
head and killed her. The burglar then fled
and . made got at his escape. Circumstances
have since led to the belief that, the husband
himself is the guilty party, and he has been
arrested and lodged in the county jail. He
was a Justice of the Peace and Postmaster of
the village.

The Electoral College.
On Wednmclav the different Electors
chosen in November met at the capitals of
their respective States, and made a formal
reeord ...)f their choice for President. The
way in which this was done is as follows:
The Electors vote by ballot, and, after the
votes, are counted, several copies of the re
cord are made. One is sent by mail to the
President of the Senate, at Washington; ano
ther. is disposed in the State archives, while
a spacial messenger, who may be either one
of their own body or an outsider, is delega
ted to carry a third copy to the Secretary of
State. The - messenger receiv es , while on
this duty, the sane mileage as a member of
Vongrms. With these precautions there is
not much danger, therefore, of the vote of
any State failitig to arrive at Washington by
the time die general count is made by Con
grer,,, on the second Wednesday of February.
On. the latter dew the United States Senate
proceeds to the Hall of the House of Repre-.
sen'atives, and its President takes his seat by
the side of the Speaker. Two teller's are
then appointed, and tree sealed packages from
the Electoral Colleges are opened. usually
commencing with the State of Maine. After
the roll of States hashas been milled, the 'result
is declared by the President of the Snate.
If there is no choice—that is, if no one has a
majority dyer all in the Electoral Colleges—
the Rouse of Representatives proceeds to.se
lect from the thrtar highest candidates for
President before the people. In the Rouse
each State has but one vote on this question--
whether it has one or thirty-tbrec members
—die majority of the delegation determining
bon- that rote shall be cast. The Senate, in
the meantime. proceeds to its chamber, and
there selects, by ballot, from one of the two
highest candidates, the Tice President.

TUE homeopathic systeni of medicine was
itetrixtuced c it Is stated, in the United States
by' a Gentian physician, Dr. Ores, who in
the year 1€0.5 published a book on the sub
ject. At firstmot much attention was paid
to it, but in the next ten years, sixiworks ad
vocatinglbe principles of Hahnemann were
published. In 183411abes manual was trans
lated and found many students. At present
there are 3,037 practitioners of hOrneopathy
in the United States, of whom 818 are to be
found in New Y0rk,374 in Pennsylvania, 352
in 0hi0;275 in Michigan, and 251 in Massa
chusetts.' There are.6l societies, 3 being na

Tim rormsnost of Pennsylvania has re
cently been estimated by a comparison of
the election returns 'of 1860 . and 1863. In
1860 the vote polled for electors for Presi
dent was 476,442 to a population' of 2,906,-
115, as obtained from the census returns, In
1868 the vote for Auditor General reached
653,155, which would give a present popula
tion of 3,983,997 souls. Applying the same
ratio to Philadelphia, it 'appears that in I'B6o
there were 76,707 votes polled to a popula:
tion of 568,034, and that in 1863 the 121,4.58
votes cast would indicate a population of
.890,426. In 1860 the per centage of voters to
the population was 16.4 in' the State, and
only 13.5 in Philadelphia.
AT A scoAn refinery .In. St. Louis, oil the
15th inst., a workman named Theodore Nan
neman made a misstep and fell full fifteen
feet into n pan of boiling Sugar, four feet
deep. Any one who knowi the heat of
boiling sugar can form an idea of the suffer
ings of the unfortunate man, on' all fours to
his hips and shoulders 'in the' scalding hot
syrup. He was almost immediately picked
out by the active employees, who were for
tunately at Land at the time of the accident,
but his limbs were absolutely cooked to the
bone.
A snowy time ago a respectable dentist in
Galveston was charged, and held for trial,
with having perpetrated a villainous outrage
upon the person of a lady patient, while un

that the lady was the dupe of her own im
magination, hich was quickened by her
pre-existing doubts and fears, and abnorm
ally excited by. the .chloroform; and so the
accused was acquitted without the jury even
leaving their seats.

SECTUS TILE LEAVES : —The woods are now
full of leives. Indeed they appear to be
more abundant-than eVer,-but farmers do not
value them as highly . tis we think they should.
For barn yards . specially they are profitable
to haul in. They are a obtainable toowhen
there is little pressing work on hand. Gath
ered up in heaps they can be readily loaded
on carts and wagons with close shelving!,
by using either a cloth some two or three yards
square, orwith a wooden rake and the arm.
Hoes are very fond of them for litter, so are
cowl. ; and for compost. they are excellent.
As oat straw is now: Usually fed to cattle,
and rye straw commands a high price in the
market, there is nothing left for the purpose
of littering except wheat straw. Hence forest
leases should be held in higher estimation
than they commonly are. , It is a good rule
to gather them this month or early in Dec
ember, as they are not quite dry and can be
loaded more readily and larger quantities can
be got on the wegon.--Erehaage. . .

that, (ram a long and close observation, he
was convinced that when used moderately,
and as a medicine exclusively, they were all
that was recommended. At the same time

EXECUTION OP A MIITIDEITS--"NE KNOT'
Gyms WAY Twics.--Another of those tent=
bly shocking scenes at the gallows was wit
missed at the execution of Rufus B. Anderson
of 'Nevada. The usual crowd surrounded
the gallows, and the usual military force and •
attendant clergymen had been employed.
After prayer on the platform the prisoner '
calmly addressed the spectators. Having
finished, be stepped forward to the railing,
and requested that the deputy sheriff should
put the noose around 'his neck, and then
'snook hands with those on thif platform.
He then took his position on the trap, and
his hands and feet were bound, and the
noose was slipped over his head and thy. cap
drawn Over his face. At the signal the trap
fell, and the wretched young man lay
stretched upon-the ground, the knot having
given way. There waS a wild cry and a rush
forward of the crowd, but they were kept
back by the guard. Anderson was carried
to the platform, the ',noose wits adjusted
around, his neck, and the trap fell. The
knot gave way again, and Anderson was
• prostrated insensible. He was carried up the
steps of the platform and seated in a chair,
his face wearing the pallor of the grave,
from which he had been twice snatched.
The rope was adjusted the third time. As
the trap fell be swung free, and after a slight
muscular movement for several minutes, all
.was over. ' • • '

RENIARRATSLE PETRIPACTION.—AIMUt SiS
years ago, says the Troy Press, Mr. - Amos
13roughton died in Wayne county, in this
State, and was buried there. After his death
his widow and children moved to Buskirk
Bridge, in this county, where they now re
side. A few days ago the family of the de
ceased resolved to bring the remains of the
father from Wayne county and have them
deposited in a cemetery near their present
residence. In furthrance of this purpose
the grave was opened and the coffin exposed,
but all ordinary efforts to lift it from its pie-i
-tion proved infeffeetual. The coffin lid was
therefore removed; when it was• found that
the body was in the most perfect state of pet
ritaci2ion. It , was covered with a dry mould,
whitch. when remnyed.revealed a surface al-,
most. as white :inn pure as mature. Foe
body showed not the least particle o' - decay.
Every feature and lineament was perfectly
preserved, and the body had the appearance
of a finely chiseled statue, When Mr. Brough
tou *died he weighed about two hundred
pounds whit) the remains had increased in
weight by petrifaction to•Kipitilundrcdpdorgill.
Before the body was' interred at Buskirk it
was seen by the family friends and many oth
ers there. tis the most perfect and wonder
ful instant of petrifaction of human remains
that has e fr come to ourknowledge.
