Logan and Carpenter to the United States Senate is received with great satisfaction among the Reoublicans. 1 looks like the restoration of the an cieut prestige of the party." "Heke's a enrioua coincidence. Some thirty years ago the present coernor of .Pennsylvania, Henry L iioyt, resigned las position as pnn- -ival of an academy in his ruitive State, and was succeeded in the po sition by a young ptnt'eman named O. II. 1'iatt On Tuesday hist Mr. Ilovt was inngnrated as Governor of Pennsylvania, while Mr. Piatt was chosen to represent the Republicans of Comscucut in tue tinted Senate. "A paragraph is eciog the rounds of the papers which says that the rtate was without a Governor on Tuesday fur au hour and a half, Gov. Hartrauft'a term having expired at 12 M. and Gov. lloyt not taking the oath of office un til 1 :30 P. M. This is not correct. The Constitution says that the Govern or shall serve from the third Tuesday of January, and no fraction of a day is recognized. Governor floyt did not practically begin bis term until the 22d inst." Ihe ministers of .Missouri are agitated over the marriage laws of tliat State, and want a change. One of these gentlemen was recently fined JWO for marrying a couple, the fem inine member of which proved to be under agi This clergyman had no intention of violating the law. He took the precaution of asking the girl Jier age, and she told him a he. A law is suggested provhling that per eons desiring to marry must obtain from the civil authorities a license, which sliall be granted only on their oath that their affairs are as repre sented. The presentation of this license to the ottkiating clergyman is to be evidence to him tuat all is right, and a minister who marries persons wiio nave provided themselves with a license is not to be chargeable with any of their sins or short-comings." A DIsPATCU from ashington Fays: The Democrats here are badly demor alized over the speech of Bragg, a Democrat, member of Congress from Wisconsin, in which be denounced the Southern members for an attempted raid on the Treasury to pay Southern war claims. He is particularly cursed because of his statement that less than one per cent of the Southern people bad any feeling of loyalty to the Gov ernment during the war, and that those who were disloyal could have an equal chance with the loyal to sneak money from the Treasury, as it was a very Kiojple matter to get men to swear 'to anything when there is much money at stake. At a conference of leading Democrats to-day, they decided not to permit a resumption of the disscnssion as they say it will expose Democratic tactics and hasten the split between .Northern and Southern Democrats, which is now threatened on this sub ject. POLITICAL NOTES. rao EXCHANGE TAPIRS. Fred Djuglass says that all that can be done fur the colored man of the south is to expose fraud, denounce vio lence, exhaust all legal means to pro tect hiai in life and liberty, and thus kindle the moral indignation of the country against meanness and crime. This is just what the Republican party intends to du. When ouce the country understand and appreciates the injus tice and brutality of (be southern course things will begin to ciend. TueClevelaud Herald eajs that Ssn tor David D.ivis is tired of being a great political part; all by himself, and will j-ia io and train regularly with the Republicans. The West Virginia House of . Dele piles has passed a resolution instruct ing the members of Congress from that State to vote for government aid to the Texas Pacific Railrosl. Kingston (NV Y.; Freeman : "With what velocity does wind move ." That depends In the House of Represen tatives it travels more rapidly than in any section that we know of. A speech das been known to be printed in the Rec ord and sent broadcast to the speaker's constituents hours before be bad dehr eted the closing sentence. That is considered the speediest wind in the i-onntry. The jury in the case of the Brenard County (Fla.) Canvassing Board, for making false returns in the late C n prefsional election, brought in a ver dict of guilty with a recommendation to mercy in the cases of the Sheriff and the Justice cf (be Peace. The County Canvassing Board and two inspectors of the late election from Alachua coun ty were arrested on a charge of viola- livo of the election law. Governor Hoyt's Inaugural Ad dress. General Hovt's inaugural address is such a gem of aa address that we cannot refrain from publishing it in full: Gentlemen of Ihe Senate and House cf Representatives, and Fellow Citizen: We are associated, to-day, in observ ance of a time-honored custom. To yon, the occasion which convenes? ns is merely ceremonial in its character. And yet not only to you who are gathered immediately within the sound of my voice, but to all the citi zens of the State it is an occasion of serious impart. You and they are to witness a Chief Magistracy of your Commonwealth. To myself, it is more significant 'While I gratefully accept my share of the pleasure inci dent to a pageant like tins, it is sug gestive of delicate duties and grave responsibilities. Elected to be Chief Magistrate of the State, my official life begins here and now. You have witnessed in my assump tion of the oath of office, a sacred appeal to Almighty God and a sol emn pledge of fidelity in the dis charge of my official obligations " Tue Supreme txecutive power shall be vested in the Governor, who shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed." This is the language of our State Constitution. It briefly, simply and adequately dehnes my principal duty. I fully understand these word I fully comprehend the oath I have just taken. The people of Pennsylvania expect me to keep that oath. By the help of their prayers, end by the favor of Divine Providence, J. expect to keep it. . It will be a common pleasure to ns, to be exempted from giving special attention, at this time, to matters of public business. The conspicuous ability, and the long and varied ex perience of my distinguished prede cessor, has permitted nothing to es cape his attention which concerned the public good, or was of sufficient importance to be commended to the 6ecial action of the General Assem bly, or which might challenge the ?on.nderation of the people. His last Annual Message is a document at once so iudicions, timely and com prehensive in its review of public afTurs and Its recommendations, as to relieve me. for the present, from all care in respect to that branch of the executive duty. I maj; therefore, re gard myself as at liberty to glance at some topics, not inappropriate to the occasion, in which all good ciiizens feel a deep concern. The question uppermost in the mind of the country relates to the revival of business. The last five years will be memorable in our Na tional history ca a period of indus trial depression and consequent social distress. These five years have dis clord the causes of our troubles, and their experience should lead us up to the true methods of recovery. . ., Ihey will be found to lie . , . , r " i J L :.. l :l orcebo, iyuu uu, u live enacimeMts or executive nuer- ference. I shall offer you no course upon the financial theories which have vexed us during these 1 years. We have come, with great unanimity, to recognize the actual facts which lie at the bottom of this whole subject A generation of younger business men had come upon the stage at a period of excitement, following the war, and of speculation, fairly reaching the degree of gam bling. The vastly expanded credit which men gave one to another, in all forms of business, the result of an inflated currency, led to unnatural values, as measured in such currency. The temptations for contracting debts were great and not easily resisted. We spent more than we earned ; we lurot that " the extravagance of the rich was pot the gain of the poor," " that profusion and waste were not for the good of u'ade," and that everything consumed ana destroyed was so much lost in the labor 1 L'ch had produced it Circulating capital was locked up in fixed property. The wages fund was impaired. We aban doned the maxims of experience and the simplest truths in political econ omy. We measured values by a stan dard not common to the civilized world with whom we were in daily and necessary commercial intercourse. We faCed to remember that the issue of paper money, whether greenbacks, .National bank notes, bills of ex change or checks, did not add a dol lar to the wealth of the nation, and that while indispensable as a circula ting medium, it could only have representative value ye did not advert sufficiently to the present phy sical and financial fact that by the tacit cgreement of the nations, the precious metals are the only stan dard of value, the enly "current money with the merchant W e did not seem to know that the instincts of a practical, shrewd and enterpris ing nation of business men must finally and forever reject the use of an irredeemable currency. At the last, pay day came, as it always must and bankruptcy came with it, as it always will under like causes. Our capacity to consume was destroyed. The producer was without buyers for his merchandise. Debtor and cred itor alike had to pause for the day of settlement A system of economy and saving was forced upon It cost us a hard struggle, self-denial and suuermg, but the result was health, moral and financial The vir tues of sobriety and industry, re newed in practice, give us discipline and strength. They widened and deepened our manhood an J woman hood. Discarding the chenp devices of mere theorists, the dishonest pro posals of mere agitators, and the charlatanry of a political economy which undertook to teach us how to create wealth without labor, we are now ready to go forward. Hence forth we are to produce and exchange actual things, and not gamble in merely fictitious values. Resump tion has taken place, confidence is restored, and business will flow in healthy channels so long as values are stable and their measure honest Pennsylvania is an empire in its re sources, and her people in the past have developed and used them only by the virtues of labor and economy. For the future we must accept the same conditions. It is possible, that, within our borders, there may be re quired some readjustment of our pop ulation to the centers of industry some redistribution of labor and cap ital. Your Bureau of Labor and Sta tistics, when adequately organized and administered, will furnish abun dant data upon which the intelligence of the people will act. I desire here to bespeak the freest and fullest co-operation of the peo ple with their Chief Magistrate. It is equally their privilege and their duty to make their interests and their wishes known through their legisla tive representatives, by committee, by writing, or by direct personal in terview with the Executive. Such careful, special, intelligent, unreserv ed expression upon the part of the people, would enable both the Legis lative and Executive branches of their government to act with a clearer ap preciation of their necessities. I speak now for myself alone, bnt I am at the same time confident that I express the sentiments of every gen tleman who is officially related to the State administration. We are renewing, in part, the per- tontt of our State government, at a period of momentous interest in our national affairs. The one great ques tion yet to be solved is : Shall gov ernment by the ballot be maintained in this country, with equal political rights for all legal voters. Pennsyl vania 8 attitude on that question is known wherever her name is known. That she will insist on the enforce ment of the authority of the National Constitution, in every State of the National Union, is as certain as that her mountain peaks point toward heaven, and her rivers roll to the sea. Under no circumstances can she ever recede from this position. Strong in herself, stronger in virtue ef the con stitutional relationship to her sister states, sue will be magnanimous, con ciliating cud patient But justice, in the end, must, with her be paramount Upon this h'gh ground she will de- rxuind that the provisions of a Con stitution made for all, shall be con formed to by alL This question goes not only to her political convictions, to her estimate of the worth of our civilization, but to the consciences of her population. Pennsylvania bows in unalterable devotion to the grand ideas of the supremacy, perpetuity and glory of the nation. I have detained you, fellow-citizens, beyond my intention, and will there fore claun your indulgence but a mo ment longer for a personal allusion. I should be guilty of insincerity if I affected indifference to the honor of the trust your suffrages have confid ed to me. I am incapable of expres sing my heartfelt sense of its value, or the strength of my purpose to prove that it has not been misplaced. So much, in brief, to those to whom X directly owe my election. ljie word to my fellow-citizens who preferred and supported my honor able compci-'tors. It is worthy of a free people thai they bear themselves with propriety and self-control, through the contention? and excite ments of a general election- It is gratifying to myself, and doubtless I equally so to all who were activelj 'engaged in the late canvass, that ."h"r tbere wa8 BO mle manifestation of bitternes8. The debate tbs-.,.1 -f was &ho earnestnes8. For ness and courtesy extended to me by my political adversaries, I have to say that if they had voted for me from the same sense of duty which gave their ballots to my opponents, I could not be more firmly resolved that I am, to be impartial and faithful in discharging the obligations I owe to them as Chief Executive of the Com monwealth. My political views and convictions will and ought, unques tionably, to influence and shape some of my official recommendations ; but in protecting the constitutional and legal rights of the citizen, no party distinction can ever for one moment be recognized. In conclusion, fellow-citizens, per mit me to remind you of the individ ual responsibility of each citizen, for the aggregate well-leing of the com munity. Each of ns owes the high est measure of fidelity to the justice, the pewer und the right embodied in the State. Under he peace and pro tection it secures, all otrf traffic is prosecuted and all our prosperity is shielded. Under it the social pneri ple is allowed scope to found asylums, lodges, seminaries and churches, and to perfect the Commonwealth itself. There can be no right citizenship without an intelligent understanding of the principles which the govern ment organizes and of the ideas which it represents. Each citizen should be able on Lis own information end not depending on any interested job ber or meddler to tell when there is a departure from rectitude, where a wrong tendency sets in, and where a peril confronts us. It is a cardinal principle underlying the political creeds of all self-governing people, which affirms each citizen to be as fully responsible for the welfare of the State as he is for Lis own person al 6afetv and happiness. Private cit izen and magistrate are equally under this fundamental law of the republic. As you have heard me bound by an oath to obey the laws of the Com monwealth, so have L, in turn, the correlative right to hear the voice of the ten thousands of freemen in Penn sylvania pledging themselves to obey the laws which they themselves have made. No strength of soldiery, no wealth of farms and factories, of rail roads and coals, no perfection of gov ernmental mechanism can save a faith less people from perishing. Two Men Burned Alive. The rumor tbat two men bad been burned alive by revengeful enemies in .Nebraska, is verified by later invest! cation. The origin of the trouble was a querrel between the occupants of neighboring ranches. A fight ensued, in which Mitchell and Ketcbum killed Ulive. A sheriff arrested the two homicides in an adjoining county, but their conviction of any crime was im probable, as thjy hid acted in self defense. Olive's brother offered $1,000 reward for tbe return of tbe prisoners to tbe county in wbicb they lived, and tbe Sheriff accepted tbe offer. Olive's object was to get thorn in bis power. He and tbe Sheriff, with tbe victims securely bound, started ostensibly for a place called Plum Creek. A can of coal oil was taken along. On tbe fol lowing day tbe charred bodies of Mitch ell and Ketchnm were found where tbey bad been tied to stakes and tortured. Tbe oil had teen smeared over tbem and then ignited Olive is under ar rest, bnt tbe Sheriff escaped. Coasting been put a stop to in Alle gheny City.

A Lonr-Kanee Duel. From the San Francikco Call. Adam U oldie's fame as a marksman has spread far and wide in Northern Texas within the padt year or so. (iul die's ranche is, in fact, tbe one partic ular centre of the cattle country. Not long ago there lived near the ranche one William Darrell, a desperate fellow, known as "Bloody Bill. Jealous of Uoldie's fame, Bill challenged tbe rancbeman to mortal combat. On the open prairie, two miles from the ranche, grew two post oaks, four hundred yards apart, there being no other trees near. All around was an open, tiiuherlcss prairie. A crowd on horseback acoom pauied the duelists to the place of meet ing. C oldie got behind one tree and Bill the other. Tbe crowd rode to an eminence in the rear. In a few minutes the sharp crack of a rifia from the bill gave tbe signal for the combat to open. Then began a duel at the longest range ever recorded. Goldie advauced from bebiud the tree iu a kneeling posture, when, whiz ! bis sombrero was perfora ted by a ball from Bloody Bill's line. Quick as lightning be dropped full length on tbe gronud in time to escape the other two bullets which came in rapid succession. He lay still, brought Lid rlfls into position as be was stretched upoU the ground, and then remained immovable. Presently he saw a dimin utive figure, wbicb n knew to be liill, advancing cautiously from tbe shelter" of the tree. Quickly taking aim, be bred twice m succession, and then re tired behind the sheltering trunk. One of the bullets be discovered bad passed through the lobe of Bill's left ear. There was cessation now of firing for some time, when Goldie espied bis op roneot'j head and shoulders exposed. Quick as lightning bis rifle was at his shoulder, and tbe detonating report was beard. Bloody iiilTs bat was carried away by the bullet. Goldie now rather incautiously advanced from bis shelter, and became the target for six bullets in succession, one of which made a bole tbrouch bis pants and another in his coat sleeve, lie beat a hasty reireat. 1 be duelists stood gazing at tbe dis tant trees, each watching for the indis tinct form of tbe adversary. Each peered cautiously from behind the tree, endeavoring to get sight of tbe other. Goldie at last saw Bill again advance and tbe former stepped rapidly to the front aud quickly brought his rifle into pesition. Almost simultcneously the clear, sbarp report of two rifles rang on tbe air, and both men fell. Goldie managed to raise himself and crawl be hind the trunk of a tree. He bad been wounded in tbe left shonlder. Pres ently be was joined by tbe Texans who bad been witnesses of this most exciting duel. Tbey bad already ridden over to Bloody Bill and found him dead. A bullet bad penetrated bia temple. GCS ERA V.IT EMS. A dispatch from St. Stephens, N. B., says; William O'Brien and two sons were burned to death in their camp at Milberry Brook on Friday a week. Tbe three dead bodies were found in tbe ashes." Jason Robbins, sixty years of age, a hermit, living near Farwell, Michigan, was found dead on Tuesday evening of last week with a bullet hole through bis head. It is supposed tbat he was killed for a large sum of money which it was supposed be possessed. The Adjutant General's report shows the entire military force of New York to consist of seven divisions, thirteen brigades, one regiment and twelve sep- erate companies of cavalry, one battal ions and two seperate batteries of artil lery and twenty three regiments, six bat talions and thirty-one seperate com panies of infantry in all 20,208 men. Attacked by Grizzlies. From tbe Trinity (01.) Journal, S'J. Several weeks ago, in tbe neighbor hood of Ilettenshaw, iu tlita county, a remarkable bear hunt oooorred. It ap pears that Dtor Stanley, while on a visit to Uettensbaw, expressed an earn est desire to go bear buuting, and ac cordingly one morning be started, in company with Greene French, George Burgess and Joe Ligbtfoot. Arriving at a thicket, tbe dogs gave notice ot their cear approach to bear, and the party decided to station themselves at certain points and let the dogs go in and drive tbe bear out. This was done; but the doctor becoming impatient en tered the thicket bim-telf. Tbe heavy undergrowth made bis progress slow, bnt be fought h:s way ahead until be eame to a fallen tree lying in a little gulch. Helping himself along by the limbs he arrived at the upper end just in time to be confronted by a huge grizxly bear. Retreat was impossible, as it bad been with tbe utmost difficul ty tbat the doctor had advanced so far j there was no tree in convenient dis tance, and as tbe grizzly showed fight, there was nothing left for him to do but shoot Taking deliberate aim with bis Henry rifle, tbe doctor fired, and the hear fell mortally wounded An other load was sprang from tbe maga sine into the rifle, and the doctor, look ing toward bis prey, was surprised .to see a second bear in the same spot. This be shot also, and quickly reload ing, was yet more astonished to see a third bear in tbe same place where be bad shot the other two. Again tbe lever moved and a fresh charge went into position, and again the doctor looked up and discovered a fourth grizzly coming towatd biin from tbe same opening in the brnsb. W hang, went tbe gnc again, and down went bear No. 4. By this time the doctor had got warmed up and excited, and be kept moving tbe lever and firing into tbe bodies of tbe bears until tbe sixteen shots in tbe magazine were exhausted. Meantime bis companions bearing the shooting, and presomiog the cause, made their way to whers tbe doctor war, with tbe intention of assisting bim, but found bim on top of the largest bear, with the others strewn about, swinging his bat and shouting lustily. One was an immense grizzly, so large tbat the hnnters could not baodle bim, and the other three were good-sized grizzlies', probably about two years old. The shooting of four beam by one man, without ever changing his position, is something; bitberto unheard of, even in tbe most bighly-colored annals of the n estern wilds. DISPATCHES. Cincixati, January 23. A special dispatch says : Upon tbe arrival of tbe midnight train at Fort Wayne, Ind., last night, a trunk was put out from the baggage-car wbicb cmmitted a horrible stench. As no one called for it, it was broken open and found to contain tbe nude corpse of a young niaa. There was a deep wound in the left side, in dicating that he bad been fatally stab bed. The trunk was pat on at Water loo, Ind. A telc&rain states that the body is probably that of Adam Zeigler who has been missing from there for several days. London, January 23.
