NOT MUCH GRIEVRD.

The Pottsville Emporium, the organ Of
the Schuylkill Denoc racy, does not seem
to be much grieved at the defeat of Col.
Forney, and appears to be rather inclined
to sustain the boiting members from that
county, Messrs. Lebo and Wagonssller,
who voted for Gen. Cameron. 1t says.
"The causes which led to the defeat Of
Col John W. Forney, the Democratic no.
minee, we're manifold; and taken singly,
many of the objections to him were sufi-
cent to ensure his overthrow, even had they
not combined to produce this result.
In the first place, the announcement, q
month or two ago, that Mr.. Forney would
be candidate for the United States Senate,
was received with surprise all over the
State. Many good men had been named
for that post, and many who had Older
claims upon the party were forced to stand
back and make way for the Wheatlaud pet" !"
The Emporium, in another article says:
"The election of Gen. Cameron over John
W. Forney has taken many by surprise,
but when we look at the matter in all its
phases, it is not 80 surprising after all that
the blood Of the Highlanders should prove
in this Instance too much for the Hugaeuots.
ForneY's most active friends here are very
apt to defeat Democratic candidates, if they
do nut come exactly up to their standard
of Democracy, with every dotted, and
every crossed. These extreme gentlemen
should bear in mind that 10 politics, there
are always blows to be given as we'll as
blows to be received. But there were 9TH
er reasons why Mr.. Foruey was not SO strong
in the affections of the Democrats as was
desirable and necessary to his success. 1t
is we'll known that he is one of the strong
est, if not tie strongest pro-slavery man in
the North. Again, be was accused of fa-
voring the repeal of the duty on Railroad
Iron, which it is believed would injure our
coal producing and iron Counties. These
questions operated against him and render
ed his election impossible. Then, as to
Gen. Cameron, Why, If the Democratic no.
minee was so oaious to portion of the De-
mocracy, the General is just tho man for
the coal region. he manfully battled tor
the great interests Of Schuylkill when in
the Senate few years ago; SO it is very
certain Schuylkill county has gained by tho
defeat of Forney, who is too much of an
Office hunter aud spoils leader ever to be
useful to any industrial interest. We can,
therefore, fnd sufficient excuse for our
members.
We cau also point to the fact that the

HARRISBURG, JAN. 2T, 1857.

hAhhIcbUhO, JAN 1I, 1901.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Nothing new here of
much Importance. The railroad is open at
last, and the many absent members are
again IN their seats, which promises fair
thatsomething will be done soon. A num-
Der of important bills have alrsady been in-
troduced into the Legislature. One is
supplement- to the law of limitation Of ac-
tions. Another f9urishes under the COM
prehensive title of "An act declaratory of
the law of Real estate, aud for the greater
security of title" Il is understood that
these important bills originated With Mr..
Price, the ex-senator from Philadelphia.
He seems to have acquired such an interest
in and taste for legislation during his term
here, as to prompt him to give it special at
tention for an indefinite period of t;mc vet
to come. The bills are too long even to
give you credisable abstract of them, In
one short letter. A bill has also been in
troduced TO prevent fraudulent voting; and
is no doubt aimed mainly at Philadelphia.
Another important bill relates to the Office
and duties of Attorney General. 1t propo-
ses to make it a salaried cfice, and to re-
quire him to give security for the faithful
discharge of his duties, and requires him
also to do all the collecting of the State,
instead of giving it ous to political favor
ties as heretofore.
4 bill has been introduced also by the
new Senator from Philadelphia, lMr. PEN
rose, altering the law upon the subject Of
contempts OF Court. Under the Jaw as it
now exists, a man may be imprisoned for
contempt for any period of time during the
pleasure Of the Courts. The Lew bill pro-
poses TO limit the term, of Imprisonment to
period not exceeding thirty days, except
an few cases. A formidable opposition
Is fereshadowed, and the fate of the bill is
OF course uncertain, though incline to be-
lieve it will pass.
The apportionment bill is not commence
ed yet, the official report of the census be-
ing not yet received.
Senator Finney and his lady had rough
time OF it the other dag, coming up from
Philadelphia. The car in which they we're
riding, along with many other passengers,
ran off the track, and for some reasen or
other, the engineer did not know it, or
could not stop, until they had dragged the
car about two miles, and broken it all to
pieces. Strange to say, none of the pas
sengers were seriously hurt, and Finney
is in his seat to-day.
The democracy appear to have discover
ed that M'Graw, the present State Treas
urer, cannot hold over, even should they
refuse to go into an election; and the bill
therefore to 60 into joint convention will in
all probability pass
Yours, &C.,
SPECTATOR.

The WINTER AT THE NoRTHwEsr--TER-
RIBLE SUFrERINGs.-The severity of the
winter at the Northwest is illustrated by
the following adventure which befel party
of surveyors in Iowa, last wee k, who took
shelter from snow storm in ravine which
scanned the prairie:
"They pitched their tent upon three feet
of snow--rigged a stove whose pipe ran up
through the top of the tent-ate and went
to sleep. A difficulty of breathing aroused
the party early, and it was discovered that
the ravine had drifted chock full, and that
the snow was three feet above the top of the
pipe. Ont of the entire surveying company
of which they we're a part, two men froSe TO
death, two waded the prairie SHOWS in stock
ing feet, unable to draw on their stiff boots,
and all were disabled, permanently or tenn
porarily, by the freezing of the extremities.
A letter from St. Joseph, Mo-, gives an
account of the terrible suferirgs of hunt
ing party from AtchisoD, Kansas territory,
two of whom were South Carolinians, and
the third Missourian, named James String
fellow. The letter says
"When they reached the Big Blue they
fixed their encampment, but finding only
few buffalo, they left their camp in Charge.
ofa negro man belonging to Mr. Van Dorser,
and proceeded over TO the Little Blue. On
the 6rst evening out they we're vertaken BY
storm of wind and snow, aud lost their
way. They wandered for eight days with
out FIRE or food. They blew the tubes out
of their guns In their efforts 10 kindle .
fire, and then threw their guns away. The
feet of Van Dorser and Morrell became SO
frosted, and they were so exhausted from
fatigue and starvation, that Mr.. Stringfellow,
who had had some mountain experience, was
scarcely able to get them to move along
lie encouraged them by every means, until
they finally reached habitation, aud were
saved Mr, Morrell and Mr. Van Dorsen,
however, will lose thoir feet, and Mr.. String
fellow some of bis toes. Their suferines
were beyond description, and they will be i'll
for some time to come. The negro who re-
manned in camp is uninjured, although he
suffered good deal from the severity of the
cola and anxiety for bis master aud friends.

DAVID OVER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
The pious hypocrite of the Gazette can-

The pious hypccrite of the Gazette can-
not forgive Mr.. Jordan, for aidingsin the
defeat of Jehn w. Forney, of Forrest mo-
teriety. The contest was between Forney
and Cameron, and if be voted at all, it is
plain that he had to vote for one or the
other of the two men. Everybody that
knows Mr.. Jordan, is aware that be never
could vote for vile slanderer like Forney;
they know also that no honorable man would
vote for any sconndrel who would be guilty
of m attempt to blast the reputation of a
dsfsnceless woman, as did Forney Only
a pious hypocritc, like the editor of the
Gazette, could do such thing No matter
what the political character of Cameron
may be, we have the authority Of the Ga
zetfe for saying that his private character
is unimpeachable Then between the two
men, an American could do nothing less
than to vote for him The editor is pioas,
be takes the sacrament, and prefers the as
sossin Of female character, to one Of whom

are of an irreproacho6le character 20 o.,

name
Mr.. Jordan opposed Gen. Cameron two
years ago, when we had large majority in
the Legislature. He as well as others then
thought that with this large majority, we
ought to secure one of our oldest members
and most talented men. Now, the case is
different; the Locofocos have the majority,
and Gen. Cameron is the only man of the
opposition that had the shadow of hope
of an election, and he being man of fair
talents. true to the interests oil Pennsylva-
nia, and of "irreproachable character" Mr..
Jordan, as well as every honest American
and Republican, could do nothing else than
vote for him. Americans and Republicans

over Forney, swell done gond and faithful

We copy the following extract from the
Harrisburg correspondence of the Pittsburg
Gazette. Ii is not only the American Re-
publicans that rejoice over the defeat of
John w Forney;
"Senstor Brodhead has been here con-
tributing all he could to the defeat Of For
ney. He has thus made some amends for
the infamous doctrines of bis Eastern speech
two years ago. As soon as the result was
announced, he telegraphed DIR. Buc hanan,
With whom he has been upon uufriendly
terms for years, the fact that Simon Calue-
ron was elected. Il was an exquisite, re-
fined speeiuea of personal malice, equal in
its nalienity to the administration of the
subtle pslsoos Of the Middle ages by the
Italians.

position. We believed il was right in the
beginning, and we shall maintain it firmly
to the end. Under no circumstances, how
ever, aud in no contingency, will single

In our lest, we referred to the fact that
the Westmorcland Republican fully sus-
tains the curse of the Hon. Henry d. Fos-
ter. The .frgus, the other Democratic pa
per in Westmoreland county comes TO US
this week filed witE strong articles IN ap-
probation of the course of Foster, Hill,
Fausold, Calhoun, Smith, Nicholson, Uress-
well and Backus. We copy the closing
paragraph in an article Of the .argus.
sit is idle for the Pennsylvania to ex :
pect to injure the fair fame of Foster, Hit,
Cresswell, Backus, Calhoun, Fausold, Smith,
and Nicholson, by associating their names
with traitors. They stsnd STRONGER
this day in the respect and affections of tho
people of western Pennsylvania than they
ever did before. There is BUT ONE
VOICE and ONE SENTIMENT, UNI
VkRSAL and UNDIVIDED, Of CORDI
AL APPRECIATION. Never were the
people SO united before on any question:
In the name of all that is fair and honora-
bic, is it not enough that the west has again
been defeated--again ignored in the coun-
ellis of the democratic partya Shall contu-
mely be superadded TO wrong which has
become grievous, and of which we have
right to complain, By what authority does
the Pennsylvania associate the name of
our gallant chief and his NOBLE
FRIENDS with traitorss HE and THEY
OBEYED THE WILL OF THEIR CON-
ST1TUENTS, and who shall sit in judg-
ment upon them? For all that was done BY
them they have the broad seal Of the popu-
lar and sovereign viii of those whom they
represent. Has it come to this, that the
gallant men who fought the battles and won
the victories of the democratic party are to
be prescribed?
We have not taken the initiative in this
unfortunate strife. We desire to sea the
administration of of Mr.. Buchanan success
ful, and guided By such high and honorable
principles as will command the respect of
all men. We deprecate the unfortunate
difficulties which have arisen, but we are not
responsible for them. The course pursued
BY the Representatives from this county,
meets with the hearty appreciation of their
constituents, and no denunciation from any
quarter will shake the confidence of the de-
mocracy of Old Westmoreland in the Jeau.
