tti ffq &t) After the election of United States Senator the Members of the Legislature dad other Mends of Geu. Cameron met in the Lochiel dining room and after the General had received the congratu lations of his many friends he addressed them as follows : kGENTr.rarr.N - :—lour greeting is veil ind and cordial, and I thank you for it. I thank God that in spite of the slander - , my enemies have repeated, for twenty years, my fellow citizens, who have seen my- life from day to day, have always stood by my side and hell - - ed me to repel them. This last struggle of my political life has ended in victory. I desire this as an answer, to vindicate my honesty to my children and m friends. I now propose to put these slanders behind me, and to forget alike, the liars who coined them, and the fact that good men, in some cases by the repo/It:46i' of them were induced to be lieve and repeat them. Of the eighty-two Republican mem bers of the Legislature, my. friends as sure me that sixty of them preferred me to any other candidate, and would have voted for me - , rathenthareliave wit nessed. Inv defeat.: The character of my supporters is as gratifying to me as their numben.. Any ope, who knows anything of our politics, , who will read the list of those who voted for me till find names as pure and horrorable as that of the purest ehristian moralist among my rivals; and quite asimliliely to listen to any corrupt proposal there I leave the whole matter, putting all falsehoods, and animobities, and prejudices, together under my feet ; and I.go forwafd to the honorable duties to which my native State has called me for the third time. Six years ago I thought that slavery was the stTength of the rebellion, and ought to be destroyed without delay. I wished also•to arm all black men who would volunteer. Of course I thought that clothing a black man in theAmerl can uniform clothed him also with the rights of an American citizen; and I am always sorry to see a black soldier, and reflect that even Pennsylvania de- nies btm the Ballot—the °lily -weapon whereby be can protect himself. I. hope to live to see the word. "white" stricken from our own Constiution, and the spir it of caste, based upon color, utterly destroyed. The South, however, Is more controlled by social influence than by political principles. If you are wise and firm you may possibly educate the rising generation into loyalty, but there is no method of stasesmaushi - which will make this generation uth loy al to the Union and to the flag:\ The poison of thirty years cannot be eradi cated by the subserviency of the Pres ident, or by the statutes of Congress. Let us look the truth in the face. The Southern territory isdisloyal. The loyal men of to-day must guard their children against another treasonable re bellion.. The Constitutional Amend ments and impartial suffrage will help to do this, but universal amnesty will help to undo it. Of Andrew Johnson I said long ago that lie was a traitor to his party, au enemy of his cowl - try, and a bud man. He has done many bad things, hut nothing worse than offering the offices of the country to those few unprinci pled men - who agreed to desert and be tray the great Republican organization for his patronage. Hejoined the Dem ocratic party long ago. He has a right to give them the offices, but he has no right to dispose of them at auction to weak-kneed Republicans. The pauper labor of Europe is again competing with our labor, and ourman ufactures languish for -Taut of protection against it. Pennsylvania needs no as surance of my devotion to her interest in thiS regard, which tis the interest of the whole country. I will continue to labdr in season and out of season to pro tect our manufacturers from ruin, and their workmen from being thrown out of employment, or their wages reduced to starvation point. For I holdthat the taue welfare of any nation depends on the welfare of its laboring classes. Gentlemen, I trust that this is my last political struggle. I have nothing more to desire, and I hope we will all forget the bitterness—the unjustifiable bitterness—l think, of the late contest. For my part I will tr% - to act as a repre sentative of all the Radical Republicans of Tennsylvania. without regard to past difference. or dissensions. With my temperament I cannot forget my friends who have stood by me so nobly, lint I will try to forget—and forgive— the un ius calumnies, and the political oppo sition I have experienced. Capture and Escape of a Young Lady from the Comanche Indians The Leavenworth Bulletin givesan ac count of the capture and escape of Miss Sarah Jane Luster from the Comanche Indians, which possesses much interest. She was living in Texas with a family named Babb. Some months ago. du ring the absence of Mr. Babb, a band of No-con-alt. Comanches tame to the house. They were invited' in by the ettildr± i i of airs. Babb, but refused until satisft that there were nb men about the premises. Then they went in and • - tempted to carry off oneoft he children. Mrs. Babb inspired by a mother's love for her children, resisted and clung to her children with desperation ; wheret upon one of the savages went behind, seized her by the hair, drew her back and cut her throat. This horrid deed was committed under the eye of Miss Luster, who had taken refuge in the upper part of the cabin, and so shocked her as to cause a groan of agony, thus leading to the discovery of her presence. She was immediately captured (leaving a sleeping babe in the cabin) and taken to the Indian camp. Mbs Luster form, cd the heroic purpose of immediate es cape from the horrors of her captivity. She soon discovered a horse of great speed kept for running purposes by the Indians. and conceived a plan tomount it and leave in a direction from which the Indians had brought green corn, from a six days' absence: thus showing a settlement within three days' ride. Her preparation all complete, she was frustrated by the barking of dogs, and compelled to retire to her lodge. The -.-econd effort was made during a dark r..nd stormy night that drove both sav ages and &X.'s within doors. She could nottake both the children, but th e eldest, boy. mounted the horse and left. The tirat day rind night exhausted the .tremyth of the boy, and he was left to find his way back, or perish upon the road.

WEDNESD-'-AY, CIRC - C71..A.'1'10.1 , 7 1,700_ We are under renewed obligations to our brethren of the pies , ' for their gen erous notices of the recent enlargement of thispaper. We laid the papers aside for further reference, and on looking for them M clip out theirgood words, found but one remaining. Our brothers of the guild will, understand from this why we dc; not make the handsome aeknowk edgement their kindness merits. The Agitator will endeavor to deserve the continued good opinion of its Re- I lublicart cotemporaries. Chief Justice Woodward haq written a letter declining a re-election to the Supreme Bench a the State. This may be considered arevival of common sense before dissolution. Soine of the Cop perhead papers are lamenting this de cision of Judge Woodward, and ex press a hope that he will consent to servo. the people in some other capacity. We join in this hope. He never had, one jot of sympathy with the people, and never served the interests of the people. We should be glad to know that he had turned his back upon his former record and decided to serve the people in some capacity. At present there is no public man in the,State who is so deservedly unpopular. WI I The Clinton Democrat, under its new management, is a most delightful pa per. Its editors have revived the old ante-rebellion threat of resistance to what they are pleased tocall "abolition misrule," with-3i10,000 fighting men in Pennsylvania, led on by the Pfesident, the Supreme Court, and the army and navy. These young hands at the bel lows seemingly forget that the grand army of the i nepublic is not subject to the will of usurpers, and might turn and rend such "old clothes men" as the Supreme Court is composed of.— Besides we are not aware that the three hundred thousand Pennsylvanians who took to the woods andto tia . nada.duripg the• war are likely to do much active service apart fro* , robbing hen -roosts and frightening women and_-ebildren. THE MONEY 0813E1. Any man may escape a great calam ity by running away from it. But it requires courage of u very high order to face the storm which threatens wreck and ruin to him who retains his balance in tile face of it, and bears a manly hand for his own and his neighbor's salvation. It will probably not be new- to our readers that the laud is ringing with prophecies of a coming financial crash —a panic like that of 1837, which some saw, and all have heard of; like that of 1837, which is ad recent that we need not mention it'further. It is said : - —That these financial upheavals obey certain fixed laws of periodicity; that they recur every ten years. —That they affect the years whose unit figure is 7. --That once in ten years the supply exceeds the demand so much that trade stagnates, and the sluggish tide rolls back upon the producer. We have felt It necessary to discuss " the coming crisis" as a sentinel set to watch for the benefit of the public ; but as we survey the field the vailess of the work almost disheartens nag: . r i le ,tl 7 Ist—Because, in addition toith pow er of coincidence—which es mese ft nancial convulsions at i •als of ten' years—we must combat the supersti tions of centuries and the tendency of the monetary world' to panic. ' 2d—Because men who ought to know more about the laws of trade than we do have sounded the alarm. , The superstitions of mankind are for midable, from those which. afflict Ma tilda Jane when she drops the dish-rag, or a fork, which, being sharp and heavy, sticks in the soft floor ; or wheri she hears a disconsolate dog baying at the moon ; or when she finds a pin, point toward her ;—to those which afflict the seventh son of the seventh son with the hallucination that he is miraculous ly endowed with gifts of healing. Su pemtition is an ugly customer to com bat. It has zis many heads as the Hy dra, as many arms as Briareus, as many forms as Proteus, and is as tenacious of life as a Saurian. However, we shell dare all these dif ficulties, and, in as much as in us lies, endeavor to pi - event the arrival of the " Corning Crisis." Why Shouldthere be a crash? Because, says Mr. Greeley, a paper dollar does not represent a dollav Sal vation lies in a swift return to specie payments. Because, says Mr. Pike, the producer has lost a wasteful customer in the Gov ernment which lately prosecpted agreat war ; and because the Southi which last year stepped into the Government's place as consumer, bas bought all she can pay for, and has no credit. Because, say the grandmothers of Fi nance, there must be a financial crash every ten years. te , look at it in a common sense wry?. The individual citizen is an epit ome of the world of trade. Is the Indl; vidual subject to_ periodical) financial era:Mem? He is not. lie experiences revorst,.* munetimett, but they are irregu lar in intPrval and cagy enough of solu tion. When a man strains his capital, or trades on borrowed capital for long and uncertain credits; when he takes funds from his legitimate business to prosecute risky enterprise, ;—thosesufthiently ac count fur the financial reverses of indi viduals. Is the eommervial world guilty of all, or any of these indiscretions? If so, in what reepeet, and in what degree? If the. is one - dollar more of paper money in circulation than is needed for the prosecution of the business of th e country, then there is 01) Inflation of the currency to'Just that amount. If there he tioo,000,orx), or more. paper In circulation than lahemied for legitimate fruitiness purposes, then that large sur plusage, caned inflation. man need he told that gold and ' ver are no longer currency, but com modities. Were the national currency based upon these metals,-this coin, and the excess of paper very large, there I would be danger of a collapse. Hut nei ther greenbacks nor national bank notes are limed upon gold. Thqt arelaaed upon the faith andrredit of the Govern ment. Not upon the cashin hand, but .npot) tnilOottAlines the.: value, they 'represent itV.l,4,i7iLtliC ctutire det+' doped and widel44ol)M I.,oneees of the coun try. The ability orthis Government to redeem its promises is not disputed by any true American. In fact, there has never been a time, within our memory, when the public confidence was so pro found as it is at this very time. We say of the man of large estate,— "He is perfectly safe." Land constant ly increasing in flue ; mines of coal, iron, lead, and copper; forests of pine— these are better than gold in vaults or money at interest. And these, withthe vast improvements of the country, con stitute the banking capital of the Uni ted States: • Credit is really based upon real prop erty. If you lend a man money you do not inquire how much cash he has in bank ; you examine the record of his real property, and ascertain whether it is clear of liens. No*, if you will tx-, amine the record for the state of the fi nances and assets of the United States, you will find that the liens do not cover a millionth part of the assets. What follows ? This : that so long as the Government does not draw upon its principal to pay interest and carry on business, there can be no inflation that necessitates financial panic. Production underlies and unholds all other interests. So long as its integrity, remains intact; so long as the producer can sell for remunerative prices, there can be no crash unless it be foreed. Ru in must not only be invited, but urged, ere it can come under such circumstan ces. Ruin Will never come voluntarily while the great staples are selling at even ten or fifteen per cent. less than at, present. Last year the prices of these staples ruled too high. - The laws of trade are correcting that; and in the process it is not improbable that, like a pendulum, the prices may go some what ,Past the, golden mean, and reduce the margin Of profit to the - producer. But wheat will not go below tt.2, tnitter, will afford a fair profit at 25 cents, 15 eta for cheese in bulk will pay well, beef . at 9 cents and pork at 12, will pay. Aid that the prices for staples will rule per manently below these points we do not believe. Force is being used to bring on a cri sis in our financial affairs ; and the guil tiest men of all are those who are exci ting the popular mind, and thus render ing it more sensitive to panic influences.

The bill provides that it shall hereafter be unlawful for any 'individu al or corporation to issue any note or bill not authorized by Congress ; and that all notes' of National Banks which .may be received into the Treasury of the United States shall remain there, nor be put again 'in circulation. This bill looks toward the abolition of the National Banking system and the es tablishment of what is equivalent to an United States Bank. Probably it will not pass in its prdsentlorm. Jan. 19. SENATE.—The Bankrupt Bill came up. Several amendments re ported from the Judiciary Committee were adopted„ HOUSE.—The discussion was upon the Reconstruction bill.

" That," said the nobleman, is the best dog in the pack; he is lame and blind, deaf and old, but still the most valuable ani mal I have." " For what " said the traveler. " His education was good, and his sense of smell is still perfect, and we take him out to put the puppies on the track and then return hum." I know, Mr. Speaker, that it is hardly dignified to compare the Secretary of State to that old pointer, and I will tell you why I am not going to make the comparison. Said the nobleman, "I have owned that dog 15 years, and, bard as he looks, he never bit the hand that fed him, or barked upon a false trail." [Laughter' and applause.]" Jan. 21.

(Per the Agitator.) ABOUT THE POOH-HOUSE En. AGITATOR:—The County Com missioners,•last week, resolved to levy a tax of one per cent. for the purpose of raising the necessary funds for carrying out theLprovisions of the law passed last winter. providing for a County Poor House. The amount to be mum the present year, under this resolution, will exceed Twenty Thousand Dollars ! Fellow tax-payers, it is not too late to prevent this great wrong. The Legis lature is in session, and relief may be obtained. We are already overburden ed with debt, and to add this large sum to present obligations seems to me un wise and unjust. A County Poor House is at best a doubtful experiment. Ma ny believe our present system of caring for the poor preferable to the one pro posed, and that with the salaries to Su perintendents, and other expenses in separable from a county establishment, th^ost of support will be considerably increased. Upon this feature of the subject,l propose to submit a few tho i ts in a future communication. But at this time, I wish to call the attention of your readers to the action Of the Com missioners, and urge upon them a care ful consideration of the subject. Is it not better to wait a few years, until our enormous debt is decreased, before we engage in an undertaking of so little promise? A TAXPAYER. A Wonderful Land with Stone Trees Sax Etundred Feat Long. In the Eastern Slope newspaper we find a report of many. of the curiosities and the great riches of the Black Rock, county, in the southwestern portion of California. 'The reports of the singular features of that section are of many years standing, but are so marvelous that they had seldom obtained credence. 'Among the wonderful stories we have heard is one of a petrified tree there seven hundred feet in length. The present report in part confirms previous state ments, and establishes the fact that Black Rock is one of the wonders of the Pacific coast, like Yosemite, the Big Trees, the Geysers, &c. Besides the curiosities there appears to be an abun• I dance of silver at Black Rock, but the ore is said to be of an unusual variety, arid very difficult to work ; but it has been worked with very good results at the mills at Washoe. The quantity of ore is so great that it is said it willjusti fy the erection of a thousand mills. A gentleman who visited the section has exhibited to the editor of the Eastern Slope very many curiosities peculiar to the country, strange petrifections from ravines, curious water-worn pebbles from the mountain tops; knives, arrow heads and daggers manufactured by Indian skill from solid flint, a superior quality, apparently, of ore-block tin, said to contain six hundred dollars in silver to the ton, pebble tin, with its curious fracture, thatadmits no change in form, and a thousand strange and new things. The editor says : He also tells us of many strange things that he saw but could not bring with him, and many stranger things he heard of but did not see. Among the latter list of wonders is a great basin that contains a petrified forest, aparently floated there, many vast trees of solid stone, ranging from six to fifteen feet in diameter.— Doubtful as this tale may appear, shall we dare to disturb its correctness when we know that this strange country has a boiling spring of fresh water fifteen feet in diameter, that cannot be soun ded, from which no drop of water ever runs; that in the same vicinity there IS a flowingstream of cold and apparent ly good water, the drinking of which Induces venereal; and that any water found by digging is as salt as salt can make it ; that a half dollar deposited in the soil Is eaten,up by the salt, and af ter thirty days no vestige of it can he found^ • WE bear, almist daily, complaint of the mails, tributable no doubt to snow drifts, " my policy," changes of post masters, and the bad quality of the "burning fluid" indulged lu by the mall carriers.

We have often heard of rob bers using chloroform upon persons asleep in rooms, burglariously entered, but never, in all the annals of crime, have we heard before of that potent drug . beingapplied to wide-awake per sons in their own houses. The facts are as follows: - A couple of ordinary—or rather extra ordinary —pack peddlers entered the house of Mr. John Lerch, on Poplar street,-near Brinkley avenue,- and of fered their traps for sale. They were apparently Polenders, and spokeimper fect English. Two ladies in the house came forward, when-they spread out their goods to look at them, and were joined by . Mr. Lerch. After unrolling several pieces, they opened a shawl and shook It up as if to take out the wrinkles. It was thoroughly saturated with chloroform, and so thoroughly did it affect the parties that they were unable to resist its influence. They sank into an insen sible state, and remained so for some time. When they recoveredthey found that their visitors had departed, and had robbed the house of money, silver ware, and other articles, amounting to about two hundred and fifty dollars. No clue has been obtained to the scoundrels ; they made good their es cape. It is to be hoped that they will be apprehended before they commit any more such exploits.—Memphis Argus. Clawron Col:wry—A daring burglary , was committed at the Middle Ward Ho tel, rock Haven, on the night of Dee. Bth. The burglar entered the house through the sitting room window, and proceeded to the third floor where he robbed a stranger of $25. Then he went to the room of Mr. King, proprietor of the house, and took his pants from the bed and carried them to the sitting room and rifled them of $B2. Next he went to the room occupied by a Mr. Shaffer from Sinnetriahoning, who demanded who was there, when the thief jerked Mt. S's pants from under the pillow and• rat down stairs and into the streets, where the pants were picked up . , minus a pocketbook containing abont=o, and a cineck for $2OO. No clue exists as to whom the thief was. A SHARPER AMONG us.—Some fellow from New York came to Lock Haven about the middle of the month and set up a faro Bank in one of the rooms of the Montour House. Since that time he has been doing, as we learn, a Wry successful but quiet business among the lovers of games of that description, un til do Monday night last an individual from up the river was tempted to en gage in the game and was fleeced out of $2OO. Complaint being made yesterday before one of our justices, a warrant was issued for the arrest of the sharper, but he 'had escaped or concealed himself before the writ could be served.---Canton .Republican. Bra KrLLED.—The Hall Brothers of Unionville, we learn, succeeded on Friday last, in killing a very large bear, which they had followed, for three days. They killed it within about three miles of the Snow Shoe depot. From the large number of deer and other animals killed within the past few months, we eoncluded that game generally, must have been unusually plenty this season. —Bellefonte Press.

'R e bete found our account on it: The circulation et The Tribune is steadily menussing, and nor ad vertising natronage has iI4CSOASed 50 meal !bat it is more dollault to print oar news than when w e used a smaller sheet, and this difficulty we esn only meet by frequently publishidg supplecnon fart' pages ''Ehe efo.e of the war has illapOilld upon Tho Triiinna the discussion of nuaneutoua and peen- Nr_griblcuas.„ We hare mat than, as bait we coed, laboring with sincerity for Freedom, So. dal Pruttss, Political - Equality, Impartial Suf frage—All Rights tor All A Republican Pres', dent became the enemy of Republicanism. and we have been called upon to denounce and ex dqse the treacheries of a degraded Administra anti. It was not without pain, certainty not with mat much thinking, that we made an issue with fritesidentJahunan. The people_ approved our coarse by returning theieradical representatr.e, to power. Tho elections of 1908—as important to the nation as Lee's surrender—make new du ties. Beeenstrumion is now the dotty. of the country—political reconstruction—reconstruction in fralanCBll and tariffs. We are no longer pressed by war aecestities, aeld we must amend our war experiments The present condition of the cur rency is a grievous evil. Trade suffers; our manufacturing interests are in a precarious state. A dollar does not mean a dollar, but its fraction It may be sixty cents, it may be ten. It is a sen timent, not a fact. When the laborer earns his dollar, he does not know whether he has one loaf of bread or ten. All business if feverish and un settled. We think this can only be remedied by a wise and intrepid policy at Washington—by reducing the sarrancy to the speam beats. Upon this we shall insist. , The nem - wally of PrOtection to Labor again presses uyon us. We regret that on this most im portent measure the Republican party is divided. An honest but mischievous minority in the West, particularly, are endeavoring to create a polity which tan only result in the prostration of Antall. can Industry—the degradation of 'Labor and the aggrandizement of English capitalists. During the many years of our work we have struggled against this interest. We believe Protection inure necessary now than over before, and we shall insist upon the broadest and wisest legisla tion for the Rights of Labor. In the perplexing question of Reconstruction we see no reason to amend the policy which we have asserted since the close of the war. It then seemed to us that 'Emancipation of the Black should be followed by Suffrage for the Black. We did not see the policy of a promiscuous conlbsca don anethanging We , had too much blood in war to ask for blood in peace—oven to gratify angry vengeance. It seemed important that the South should concede Surrage,and that the North should concede Amnesty. Some of our friends disapproved of this; but Congress has followed our advice. Amnesty_ ban been approved by Congress—to a greater extent than we - claimed in The Tribune. We have held that the men who starved captives in Rebel dungeons, who mar. dared surrendered prisoners, who violated the rules of war, and aided the assassination of Mr, Lincoln, sheath:l:be tried and punished. Congress and the Administration base agreed that no pun ishment should be inflicted even upon men who are charged with these crimes, and the only measure looking like punishment is the amend meet of disfranchisement from holding office, which is merely a sentimental and not a praCtical penalty. On the other band, the passageor the Cntt Bights Bill, the Freedmen's Burma Bill, and the Bill for Suffrage in the District of Co -1 lumoia, show that reconstruction will net be con , sumeanteo without suffrage and protection for the Blaclia. The policy of The Tribune bas been practically adopted by those who differed with us duping its discussion. We never quarrel with friends who are impatient with us. We do them the justice of believing they go their way to what is right, just as we trust they will do no the jas lice of believing we go our way to what is right. We work for the same object, but perhaps in different ways. We have no higher aim than to secure peace to this nation / and to all nations— liberty, progress, happinesa,virtne, and the uni versal brotherhood of man. And for this we shall continue to toil in our best way. i 1 J. A. PARSONS Terms, cash in advance.
