But when the amend ments shall have passed Into the organic law, should the people lately in rebellion persist in tl eir rejection, and in continued disobedience, and the obstruction of the execution of the national laws, it will be an admonition to the nation that the ani itina and force of treason still exist among a | > 'eejrif norte of the privileges tiie • rf its generous tolerances.

The Constitution has defined treason, and has gi ven express power to suppress insurrection, by war, if necessary. It has r 1 provided, in detail, the terms to be granted after such a war. How conkl it do so? I mild probably not be contend e i by the wildest partisan, that these States int i a right t<> be represented in Congress at a lime when thev were carrying on open war against the government or that Con p ess was not then a lawful body, not with standing tin ir exclusion. Jlnw then have 11 •ey retrained the right of represen'ation? Surely not by simply laying down their arms when they could no longer hold them, 'i iie United States have the right, and it is their duty, to exact such securitii s for fu ture good conduct as they may deem suffi cient, and the offenders, from whom they are to be exacted, can "have no right to participate in our councils in the decision of ;he question of what then punishment SUA!! be. Piactita ly. common sense ditoimined the question of thei,- right so to participate, when Congress proceeded in the enact ment of laws, after the surrender of the last rebel military force. It was detcrin find again, when the now pending amend ments were proposed by Congress If two third* ot Congress, as now constituted, could lawfully propose three amendments, then three fourths of the States, not exclu ded trom representation in Congress, form a sufficient majority to effect their lawful adoption. It was determined again by the formal sanction of both the great political parties when Congress bv an almost unan imous vote, declared the rebellious States without the right of representation in the Kleetoral College of 1864.

The annual report of Hon.

Were Ito select mv S'n ? e interest which 1 wouM more warmly commend to vour prompt attenf.'on and lib'-ralitv than another, it would be this. All Pennsylvanians are proud of it, and it lies ne ir the hearts of all true men. 0 wing to their greater destitution and want of infirm ition on the part of their rel atives, the orphans of our colored soldiers mav require some special attention.

They are probably few in number, and it i due to the character of the Commonwealth that they should not remain in, or •become the inmates >f poor houses, or pick up a preca rious snbsts'anee bv bagging. Patriotic end charitable citizens have done much for them, speedy and proper relief can only be givm thpm by the systematic and continued benevolence of the Common wealth. The Legislature can alone afford immediate relief to all of this class of our citizen*, and in thus exhibiting gratitude to heroic and faithful men, who did so much for the ennfry, the burden will fall equal ly on her people. By our existing laws, juries are selected bt the ;',eriff ami commissioners <>f the re spective c>untie. As these officers are generally of similar political affinities, the aystem has a!wa\s been in danger of be ing abused for partisan purposes. During th* past-si x V'ars, it has been frequently io abused, in many of the counties. To secure, as far at* possible, the admin- , Lt rat ion of equal justice hereafter,l recom- j mend that jury commissioneis shall be ; eleeted in each county, in the same man ner as inspectors of elections are chosen, each citizen voting for one jury commis sioner, and the two persons baring the highest number of votes to ne the 'urv commissioners of the respective cour.ty, to peifonn the same duties, in the selection of jurors, that arc now imposed upon the sheriff and county commissi. mors. It is impossible to provide, in all respects for the increasing and changing interests of our people, by the enactment of general laws, but to a large extent it is practicable to relieve the Legislature from special leg islation which s demanded and occupies so much of its sessions. Special legislation is generally passed without due considers tion, much of it at theclo-e of the session, and is chiefly objectionable from the par tiality with which powers and privileges are conferred. I again r* commend the passage of gener al laws, when it is at all practicable, and in this connection, recommend the passage of a general law, regulating railroads now ex isting and the incorporation of new com panies, so that so far as possible there may be just uniformity in the franchises grant ed and equal facilities afforded to the peo tle of all set lions of Commonwealth. There are at this time, in the various piisons,a number of persons under sentence of death, some of them for many years, and as it has become a custom that an incom ing Governor should not issue a warrant of execution in cases enacted on by his prede cessor, it not unfreq ier.tly happens that in many cases, some of which are recent, while some punishment should be inflicted, that of death may appear to the Executive to be too severe. I earnestly repeat mv leeommendation heretofore made, that provision he made for the reception of such persons into the penitiaries, who may be pardoned on con dition, of remaining a limited time therein. I re-appointed Hon. C. R. Coburn, Su perintendent of Common Schoolr, on the expiration of this term in June last, and be continued at the head of that Department until the Ist of November, when he resign ed. and I appointed Col, J. P Wickersham. It is due to Mr. Coburn to say tjiat lie ful filled all the duties of his ollice faithfully and efficiently. It appears from his re port that there were in the school year of 1805, 1,803 school districts in the State; 13,146 schools ; 10,141 teachers, and 725, 312 pupils, with an average attendance of 478,066. The total cost of the school sys tem, for the entire Statf, including taxes levie and State appropriation, was for the year 1866. 54,195 258,57. Iho increase in the nurnhci of school districts was 20; in the number of schools, 222 ; in the num her of chi Iren attending school, 18,945. and in the total cost of the system, 5581, 020,02. I invite your attention to the val uable suggestions made in his report, and that of Colonel Wickersham, and commend our system of public instruction to the con tinued fosterng care of the Legislature. I her*witli present the reports of Col, F. Jordan, Military Agent of the State, at Washington ; of Col. II 11. Gregg, Chief of Tranportaiion ; of S. P.

A. G. CUKTI.V. Executive Chamber, Ilariisburg, January 2, 18G7. The Peril ot the Nation The recent action of the Supreme Court of the United States in the "Indian Con spiracy cases" has produ -ed the result we anticipated, says the Age. The Radicals are raving, and some of them are calline loudly for a remodeling of the Curt to suit their political views. Th v are de termined that nothing slia'l stand in their w-iv. They don't believe anvth ng is "the government" that does not accord exactly with their revolutionary notions. For five or six years thev held that "the Ad ministration was the government. and fiercely denounced all who differed with them upon this point as traitors to their country. As soon as the President set his fnot upon their treasonable schemes, thev assailed hira in the bitterest manner, and gave the lie to all their previous pm fession bv boldly asserting that Congress, and not the Administration, sliou d leeeive the unqualified worship of the faithful And now they have raised the standard of revolt against the Supreme Court of Uni ted States. They insist upon reorganizing that "institution." Congress is to arrange the proposed plan, and fix up the appor tionments, This is simply infamous. The Court as it is now constituted is as fol lows, the dates showing the time when the several judges w ere appointed : IBGJ—S.'I*. Chase, Ohio, ciii- f Justice. 18J3 —James M. \\ avne, Georgia. 1843—Samuel Nelson, New Yo k. 184-6 Robert C G-ier.

Field, California Five of these were appointed by Mr. Lincoln, and eigiit of them are Northern men. In the solemn discharge of their duties they decided that the military com missions which tried and convicted certain citizens of Indiana were illegal tribunals, and hence the wrath of the Radicals. If anything can arouse the American people to a sense of the danger which threatens our free institutions, it is t is last and nlo-t desperate move of the Congressional junto Should the base attempt he made to inter tere with that Court in the manner pro posed by the Radicals, a storm of indigna tion will he raised throughout the nation that w ill bring these dark political game sters to grief in away they litde dream of in their present hour of pride and power, -r-Jersey Shore Herald, THK EFFECT OF TERRITOHIALIZVTION. — The Richmond Times, in the course of an able artiilc on the legal consequences of destroying the Southern State governments as proposed by Tliad.

TUN KHAN NOCK, P + IVednes dny, • Jan. 9, 1 867 Juror*. In the nigger-equality organ of this place of week before last, we find a whining, silly article on the subj ct of jurors in this C un ty. The editor of tnat paper has been carefully counting noses and has made the important discovery—if what he sav# be true, —that there are but nine republican jurors on the panel for this—-January term This fact —if it be a fact -has so excited his alfactories as to cause him to give vent to his indignation in a violent sneeze.. Ifßillv takes stiuffi all the bummers, hangers-on and s\ rnpathizers take to sneezing. In this case, liavinggiven forth a sonorous "a-t-ch-ew !" himself, all the little whipper-snapners of the party are going into sympathetic convul sions on this matter ot drawing jurors. As there is much ignorance on this subject among a certain class of people, we propose to state briefly what the law requires in drawing a jury. The selection of Jurors is directed to be made by the Sheiiff, and at least two of the County Commissioners.— They are required by law to "meet at the seat of Justice in each county once each year ami s lect fr>>m the taxable citizens of the county, a sufficient number of sober in telligent and judicious persons to serve as jurors for 'the several courts during the succeeding year." Befo r e entering upon the performance of this duty they take an oath to perform this duty honestly and ac cording to law. They then sel-ct the nam'-s of a sufficient number of such per son as they think possess the legal quali fications, write them upon small ballots or tickets,fold and deposit them within a whepl which is then locked, and securely sealed bv each one of these officers, until the day of drawing, when the 9 als are broken the wheel turned —and at each revolution a ballot is picked out, opened and read.— The person's name appearing thereon is des ignated as a juror—and so on to th<* end of the panel. The wheel is then locked and scaled upas before. This is the simple straightforward duty of these officers. This is simpyv what they have done. That in th" selection of "sober, intelligent and ju dicious persons" they should find more Dem ocrats than Republicans is not strange to us Indeed, it would be strange if thev did not. 'When the names afe once placed in the w heel the drawing is a mere matter of chance. It has been the luck for some, years past for democrats' names to be on top, in all these lottery wheels. Espe cially in times of the draft, and when Billv and others of that ilk had fixed up thr thing bv 1 •ogns enrollments, as thev did in Nich olson and elsewhere in this county. All jurors before entering upon their duties take upon themselves one of the most binding and solemn oaths known to the laws, to perform their duties with fidel ity &c. The assumption that because a suitor or party belongs to a different politic al party that then fore the jurors trying his ease, wiil violate this solemn oath to do injustice to him. is simply insulting a< d monstrous and has no place in the mind of a man who is himself honest That this man, Billy, who escaped the draft through tavoritis i . in violation of the law and th>' oaths of officers sworn to administer it, with impartial tv,should imagine others as ver.al and corrupt a< he is and they were, is not strange. \\ e assimi" that men under their oaths a~ jurors,-of whatever political party th"v max be. perform their duty under their oaths and consciences "without fear favor or affection," We shall continue to assume this until the contrary be proved. We know that this man Billy, and this pretended preacher of the Gospel. Browns combe, have been harping upon the decis -1 ions of juries in this county, and setting up I their judgment in many cases against the Judge who determines the law and the juries, who hear and pass upon the evidence. Their attempts to introduce the political venom they possess, into the jury box, we are glad to say have failed. In no case that we are aware of, has any question b'-en tried or decided upon political grounds nor has injustice been done any man by reason of his political opinions. These two wise "B's" —these two Busy Bodies—were at one time summoned as jurors —but fortu nately for the ends of justice, were not allowed to take part in any jury trials. Of these men who think juries should be apportioned anjoug the people in propor tion to political sentiments eiitertaiugd bv *hein, we would ask, how is jt with the juries 1.7 °' ,r Federal —United States courts? We ask this .:tute editor, or his backe.- and mentor, the sfle iki"? parson, to name a single democratic juror ', IH3 Rerve( l in anv federal court in tht> lsC (~x years. We venture the assertion thai not f*ne can he named, T fe can name several repub licans from this county. Will it be said that all the mail-robbing, all the counter feiting, all the offences, cognizable onlv in the United States courts are committed by republicans, hence the offenders should be "tried by their peers ?" We never com plained that they wi re so tried; nor that thev sometimes are acquitted. We as sume that these courts and juries have done their duty undertheir oaths. Biilv doses h:s article on the subject of juries in this threatening style: Wo demand justice in our courts, and if not •-awarded to ug as a matter of policy and right, '■we shall evoke a power more potent than a hoard "of ecuntv officers, to adjust and regulate It upon a "principle more free from the party predilection." Yon, 'd> maud justice Justice is what you are afraid of. "evoke a power more potent." Pray, what . power is it, von would "evoke ?" Is it th" military ? "That's played out." Even the partisan .1 edges of th* U. S. Courts have declared them illegal tribunals before which to try civil offenders. Is your "potent power" the j pot-bellied parson who fffisrepresents us in the Legislation; aud who has already in- i trodneed a bill to change the method of drawing jurors in this county? Will he make the same rule applicable to Susque hanna County, to which only he owes his election ? If he does so, w- shall have less objection to it—"what's sauce for the goose is sauce for" you. Bill v. We shall certain ly object to special partisan legislation, to set aside and overturn the long established general law on this subject. Our reasons for objecting are numerous ; not tfie least af which ig the creation of two new County officers to be paid for doing that which is so well done bv the officers we now have. A Republican Government. The Constitution of the United States guarantees to each State a "Republican form of government." A new idea as to what constitutes a Republican form of ! government has been recently advanced by i the Jacobin leaders of the Republican par ty. This hood-letting school, led bv Chase, Wilson & Co., are. claiming that before re admitting the Southern State# into the Un -1 ion. tbev mmf adopt (or have forced upon them, rather,) new State constitutions, in which freed npgroes shall have a right to vote. Without, this these worthies sav, a State constitution will not be republican in form. . Bv this new definition of a republic, Ohio, Massachusetts, and manv other of th'> Northern States, cannot be called re publican. In Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con necticut, Pennsylvania. North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, all votes ha*e a propei ty qualification, and in Maine and New Hampshire paupers are exclud i od. The negro is not allowed to vote under anv circumstances in any of the States which composed the Union in 1800. ex cept in or fire, and in only two States (Ver mont and New Hampshire) is a colored person allowed to vote without a property qualification In New Hnmoshire there were, in 18G0. oneliundnd and ninety colored voters, and in Vermont only eigh ty. In Massachusetts everv voter must. with in two vears. have paid a State or Countv tax, unless excused from taxation. In Rhode Island a voter must own real estate of one hundred and thirty four dol lars value, or of the clear yearly value ot seven dollars over anv ground rent. A negro is not allowd to vote in New York unless he has resided in the State threeyears, and is a freehold> r in value of two hundred and fifty dollars, and has paid taxes thereon. In the State of Ohio, a negro is not al lowed the right of suffrage. And at the home of Wendell Phillips, no ope can vote unless he pav a State or County tax. The Jacobins do not propose to require of the freed negroes a delay of five years in thpir new condition before entoringon their rights of cit-zensbip Thev consider Sambo fully qualified to assist at onee, in making laws for us to live under.— Ex. THF. LATENT FASHIONS. — Since the in vention and =uceessful introduction of the Celebrated Duplex Elliptic (or double) Spring Hoop Skirt, bv Mr. J. \V. Bradley, of New Y'ork, the ladies throughout the country have given up the idea of discard ing the fashion of wearing loop skirts on account of the peculiar and graceful man ner in which the Duplex Skirt adapt tlu m sclxes to everv exigency and emergency. So generally acceptable have these Skir- s become that the ladies regard tin m as a special favorite, in view of the superior Flexibility, Lightness and Durability Com bined in their manufacture The} also consider them a far morn Economical and Comfortable Hoop Skirt than ever has or can be made for all Crowded Assembiie-, for the Promenade or House Dress. Any lady after wearing one of these Skirts wiil never afterwards wil.ingly dispense with their use Long experience in the manu facture of Hoop Skiits, has proven to the proprietors of this invention, that Single Springs will always retain that stiff, un yielding and bungling sty le which has ever characterised them, whereas the Double Spring H'iop or the Duplex Elliptic, will be found Free from these objections.— Not withstanding the ability of the manu factures, Messrs. Wests, Bradley and Carey to turn out over six thousand Skirts per day lrom their Large Manufactories in New York, they feel obliged to request all merchants ordering the Duplex Elliptic Skirts, to send their orders a few days be fore they are wanted, if possible, as they are most constantly oversold some days ahead Tne U. S. Supreme Court Decision 1 lie journals hold very conflicting opin ion upon the late decision in the cast- of Mtlligan, —the Jacobins condemning if, I and the Conservatives approving. Ihe J judgment of the Couit, however, appears to be a good deal misunderstood. The j points made are : 1 First, That the whole nine judges unan | imously agree that the military tribunal organized without authority, that it had no legal jurisdiction, and that its sen fence was a nullity. Scond , The whole Court agree in pro nouncing such military commissions un warranted —the majority on the ground that they are contrary to both law and the Constitution; the minoiity on the ground i£at they are contrary to law, but not nec essarily i' l coufl ct with the Constitution. It is w oil fA'd, therefore, that the de cision on either gtOnnd convicts the Exec utive administration ot usurpation during the war. The opposite opinion of Chief Justice Chase shows that he is much -more the politician than the Judge. •The Defunct Doctrine of State Rights."
