OUSTED.—The Committee on Elections of
the Rouse of Representatives have d-aid
that Col. H. D. WashtUrne is entitled to
'the seat, thus ousting:Mr. Voorhees._ The
Committee could not do otherwise, with the
facts before them. The Worthington Ga
sate saYs:—Daniel Windy Voorhees, the
tall Butternut of the Wabash, can now re•
turn home and retire to the shades of obliv
ion, to be remembered only by Southern
traitors and Northern Copperheads.
THE FREEDMEN'S BLlRkAtt.—The rebel
hostility to the operations of the freedmen's
bureau, which has been gratified by the re
cent veto, springs mainly from a desire to
prolong, and, if possible, to perpetuate, in
some new form, the enslavement of the col
ored race. Chattel slavery has been abol
ished, and it is no longer legal to sell men as
openly aa d shamelessly as if they were
beasts of the field. But with the Union so
hastily and incautiously reconstructed that
Congress would be filled with double the
,number of unrepentant rebels that the white
population of the South is justly entitled to,
and that , all restraints would be removed
from the Southern Legislatures in the for
mation of laws regulating relations of the ra
cee,it would be unreasonable to expect that ei
ther the safety of grave national interests or
the real freedom of the freedmen could he
secured: The loyal masses of our country
are naturally and wisely solicitous for the
complete success of emancipation; yet they
kcow full well, alike from the past record of
the South, the contemporaneous outrages
and iniquities which occur io spite of the
restraining influence exercised by the pres
ence and interference of our army; and the
history of the protracted struggles between
slavery and freedom in other lands before
the final triumph of justice, that the power
ful assistance of the Federal Government is
as necessary now to'eomplete the great work
which has been auspiciously commenced, as
it was to crush the armed hosts of treason.--
This popelar sentiment was formally expres
sed by the inanimate support given by
the Union members of both branches of Con
fires to Senator Trumbull's bill to entargo and
extend the powers of the freedmen's bu
reau. However much Northern Unionists
differed on ocher and minor issues, they cor
dially united on that vital point in view of
the great arid at stake—aud the President,
singly and alone, declared against the meas
ure which bad received the unanimous 'en
dorsement of the Representatives elected by
the same generous constituency which ele
vated him to power. lie boasts that ho bas
never betrayed the people; but he has cer

expectations of those who bore in triumph
the banner of liberty and • Union through a
long and bloody struggle, and whose genet.-

their will, and to obstruct the just and pro
gressive measures which are designed to
to make out country really free.—Press.

RECEIVED.—We acknowledge the.receip,

MR. EDITOR :—Although your,correspon •
dent'has been a constant reader of the RE-
CORD, be is not (for private reasons) as much
interested in the proposed extension of the
Gettysburg Railroad to your place as many
others, but at the same time is not insensi
ble of the great pecuniary benefits which
would naturally flow, with the consummation
of the proposed enterprise, to citizens inhab•
tin s tk e-mos t--wealtirtand-populo us sections
of Franklin and Washington counties. The
effects of the extension of the Gettysburg or
Western Maryland Railroad into our valley,
Iso far as the general prosperity of the coun
try at large is 'concerned, cannot be easily
estimated. A convenient and economical
market for every article of merchandise rais•
ed by the farmer, including live stook, pro
duce and marketing of every description,
would not only be thus afforded, but even
the limestone ridges through our valley
would be convected into mines of wealth.—
The proposition on the part of the Gettys•
burg company, as I understand it, seems to
be fair and generous. They propose to ex
tend the rod as far as your town, if the sum
of $150,000 in stock can be ,secured along
the route. This proposition has been made
public and the matter agitated for the last
two or three months through the columns of
your paper. If the amount of stock has not
been secured, or nearly so, it is certainly dis
creditable not only to your citizens but to
those generally along the proposed route.—
No citizen with tho least public spirit should
wait for others to solicit him to subscribe.—
It is a matter involving his own private in
terests, and instead of having persons search
ing him out and importuning him to do his
duty be should be in sears:3lra those having
in charge the subscription books.
The project should not be permitted to go
to the ground for lack of discernment and
liberality in Franklin and Adams,for I doubt
not some at least among your neighbors a
cross the line would be willing in an emu
gently to lend a helping hand.

their bedding—their meat, furniture, &o ,
being entirely destroyed. We can sympa

Freedmen's Bureau in Tennessee:
WASHINGTON, February 26, IB66.—Gen
eral Howard has received a report from Gen
eral C. B. Fisk, assistant commissioner of
the bureau for. Tennessee, in which be re
ports that in education, industry, justice and
good order there is a steady advancement--
The superintendents, chosen generally from
citizens, have earnestly and successfully la
bored to place the freedmen in good homes
at fair wages, or for a share of • the crops
raised. But few dependents upon the Gov
ernment charity are new in the State. In
December only $62),28_ were expended in
subsistence to the poor.
Organizations among the freedmen them
selves, for the relief of their own poor, have
rendered valuable service. The Nashville
Provident Association, a society conducted
by the colored people of that city, has its
coal and wood depots, soup-houses, physi
cians, &c. This society relieves the suffer
ing poor without distinction of color; and
daily reports exhibit that a greater number
of white than of colored persons are its ben
eficiaries. Many widows and orphans, whose
husbands and fathers fell fighting to perpet
uate slavery, have been fed and warmed
through ' the kindly offices of this sancta
tion.
—The Legislature has, by-recent-enactment
admitted colored persons to the rights of suit-
ors and witnesses in the courts of the State,
and the law will become operative at an ear
ly date. Preparations Are being made for
vigorous industry in the coming year, fences
are being rebuilt, plantations stocked, and a
general determination manifested to redeem
waste places, repair the desolation of war,
and again plao3 gie Commonwealth on the
high road to prosperity.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the
people proceeded en masse to the' Presiden

presented to the President, who responded
in a speech of an hour's duration, in which
he characterized the radicals in Congress as•
the leaders of a second rebellion, and de
nounced Thad. Stevens. IVeridells Phillips
and Charles Sumner as traitors. These de
clarations caused most intense excitement
among the people, and were enthusiastically
cheered. The President. in the course of
his remarks, reviewed his publics life, and
declared that his only ambition' was to re
