WILL 'A. LINDSEY,

'TETE State Central Committee of the
Republican party met at Harrisburg
last Thursday, and fixed the meeting of
the State Convention for the tenth of
April next.
(h iiiiNCOCK is said to have de
tn he a candidate—for-the-nomina
tion of the Democratic party for Presi
dent. This is certainly very sensible.
The nomination of that party will - be
equivalent to a bad defeat, and that
affords neither profit nor pleasure..
SOME Democ'ratic papers insist on the
nomination of GeO. W. Cass, of Pitts
burgh, as, the candidate of that party for
Governor in the next campaign. We
think it is-about-Gcnoral Cass's turn to
get a threshing for that position, and if
his friends' think so, they had better
bring him out. Thor() are many other
ispectilations'which will pay quite as well
ES running on the Democratic ticket for
Governor next fall.
FREDERICI( Doom. Ass recently went
to St. Louis and registered himself at
the Planter's lintel. Some very supe
rior spbcimed of humanity, who was
charged with the responsible duties of
hotel clerk, erased his name from the
register and refused to allow him_ to take
hisyinner at the house. This is, per
ha is, as small a piece of business as
any man could have been guilty of.
MUCK POMEROY, who was a short
time since divorced from his first wife,
and more recently married. to some one
else, is now sued by a young lady of
New .11aven for...breach of promise of
marriage. The fair Yankee damsel lays
her damages at $25,000, and alleges that
when' Brick engaged himself to her he
represented himself as a single man.
Brick appears to-be-rather unfortmge
in his matrimonial ventures.
GOVERNOR Woon, of Utah, has vetoed
a bill passed by the Legislature of that
territory, providing for a convention to
frame a constitution, proPiratory to be
fog admitted into the Union as a State..
The Governor tells the Legislature that.
Utah has not a sufficient number of
people to be entitled to admission,
and further that they do not deserve,
nor should they ask admission, KO long as
polygamy is one of their recogniked in
stitutions. r At all of which the ,Ul,ll
Legislatnre is very indignant, and says
all sorts of ugly things against Governor
Wood.
• Turc election in
. thq Foul-OF-Senatorial
District pas resulted in the clUtice of
Henry W. Gray, the regular Republican
candidate over Col. A. - 1(.. McClure, re
form candidate by a majority of about
900. The aggregate vote of the district
is some ten thousand less thau,that cast at
- the election in October, when Mr. Con
nell was elected by, over 7,100 majority.
Col. McClure has published a card in
which he claims to have received fairly
over two thousand majority of the legal
votes, and complains that all sorts of
frauds and irregularities were perpe
trated in favor of his opponent. Ho
announces his intention to contest the
election.
'Tnrs Tram ne still contends lustily pr
the one term principle as applied to Ole
Presidency. Now that ts'not exactly
the question at iszlue. The poopic have
time and again decided in favor of giv
ing a good President a second term, and
the wisdom of this course is, obvious.
"Prove all things, hold,fast to that which
is good," is a very safe rule in all mat
ters. If President Grant has faithfully
performed his duty to the country mid
to the party, li3t us stick to him. If he
has - not let us look out for some one %vile
will. The yie l ople are entirely satisfied,
and he will be re-nominated -and' re
elected triumphantly. Let the second

ted . by the opening of the case is.that

that Fisk_was armed at the time he was

to afford ground for acquittal, they in ay
prove that Stokes was crazy when lie

HARRISBURG LETTER. •
January 30, 10r,,
T,-11 . 0 ordinary legislatiye routine con
tinues, :with 'Mb , little of interest
importance. 'The Senate wa in session
last week until noon of. Priday,,When It
adjourned' over to Monday evening.
The House took a longer vacation, and
does not meet until to-morrow morning.
This action of the House has given rise
,to_ considerable comment and censure.
One or two Democratic papers have even
advanced the idea that as - the<adjabrn
lriont was made for a longer period than
three days without the concurrence of
the-Senate, the House hag therefore dis
solved itself, and is not entitled to
recodnition as a-Legislative body. ,It is,
however, as necessary to make allowance
for the vagaries of editors as it is for
those of legislators, '"and whilst so long
au adjournment was certainly unwise
and unnecessary, the idea that it 'dis
solved the House is preposthrons.
Tlies'Bonate passed an amendment to
the election law of Philadelphia, re
cently-, which will have the effect of
silencing the clamor of the Democracy,,
on_this_long---ftanding_grievance.--The
amendment allows the minority party to
select its own election officers; and
authorizes the courts on complaint of
citizens, to revise the registry of voters,
and to insert the names of any qualified
voters which may havbt
„ heon omitted
fraudulently, or by mistake. .Heretofore
the 'registry has been conclusive as to a
citizen's right to -vote, and if his name
ware not carried oil the list - of voters
made by the canvassers, he was disfran
chised. By the amendment the courts
have the right tointerfere and-compel
the canvasser ito place on the list the
name of any qualified voter who\may
have been omitted. Formerly thskum
jority of the board of aldermen appoincl
the canvassers, and although they gave
the Minority party a representation,
they made choice of the persons who
were to act. Under the amended law,
the minority will have the right to make'
their own choice. The amendments
passed the Senate with very little debate
and without bpposition front the Repub
lican side—only from Senators voting in
the negative. .
Senator Buckalew ii'ffihed a bill very
early in the session extending the come
lathe system of voting to the election of
school divectorii, which has also passed
the lienato. It allows every Voter to
east as many votes:as there may be diree
tors to be elected, and he may give all
his votes to a single candidate, give one
vote each to as many candidates , as
there are places to fill or make any
other disposition of his votes he may see
proper. Its this way the minority party,
if it numbers one,third'of the voters can
always secure' - Oilsdirodtor liy Mcgting
all their votes for -one e3lididatel The
practical effect of this measure will be,
that in nearly all - cases where two direc
tors are elected each yeas', each party
wiil.secure one and thus constitute the
board of directors a tie politically, at
and attor the third election. Mr. Sock:
