Pardon of Keys

On Friday afternoon last while an Ar

and loungers were somewhat taken aback by
the appearance of the Ex-Rev. W. S. 81.

inside the railing of the Court room. The
lookers-on were not kept in suspense long,
for shortly after his arrival, Lawyer Blair
arose, and read paper bearing the broad
seal of the Commonwealth which proved to be

The history Of the case, we presume is
we'll remembered. Keys was indicted and
tried for assault and battery, with intent, to
commit rape. but was convicted for assault
and battery alone. A motion was made for
| a new trial, but refused by the Judges, and
| Keys was sentenced to three months impris
onment. In the face of this refusal Judge:
Jones and Caldwell both, according to the
pardon. signed petition for the pardon
Keys. ON the plea that they believed him t.
be innocent! ! 1t is really strange what iati

INSTRUCTIONS TO Gov. WALKER.-The Cab
met have definitely agreed on the instructions
to Robert j. Walker, Governor of Kansas
They proceed on the principle Of recognizing
the statutes of Kansas as valid. The princi-
pal busines with which he is charged, is to see
that the people have free. independent and
uninterrupted expression of opinion, and the
exercise of suffrage, concerning the affairs OF
the Territory, in carrying out the provisions
of the census and the registry law, and that
for the election Of Delegates to the Constitu-
tional Convention. The troops heretofore en-
ployed in the Territory are to be removed, and
others not engaged in the former difficulties
are ordered thither, but it is not apprehended
that there will be any use for them or the mi
Itia The administration have resolved that
the laws shall be maintained, ana have full
confidence in Mr.. Walkers ability to carry
out their instructions.

John Suoderass.

In looking over the proceedings of the late
Know Nothing, republican State Convention,
we observe that this renegade democrat, re-
ceived fire votes for Canal Commissioned
Many years ago, when his ambition was about
to overleap itself, and when John aspired to
be Governor of the State, he predicted, to use
his own classical language, that he was "des-
tined for till RISE" His prophecy has not
been fulfilled, and from the beggarly support
he received at the hands of his new allies in
the Convention, there is but poor chance
that it ever will. He has met with the certain
and jast reward of all political traitors of his
mental calibre, the unmitigated contempt of
his old associates, as well as the cold and chill
ling embrace of his new.

David Wilmot.

This gentleman is the candidate Of the op-
position for Governor. against the democratic
Genl Packer. David Wilmots Po-
litical career is familiar to the democracy Of
Pennsylvania He is man of ability, and
represented in Congress what is familiariy
known as the "Wlmot District" He was
then democrat of the straightest sect,
and in 1s46, was the only democratic mem
Der Of Congress from this State who voted for
the tariff bill of that year. For doing SO he
was denounced by the then Wing papers,
throughout the State, as an enemy to her best
interests, and he. together with George M.
Dallas, the Vice President of the United
States, by whose casting vote in the Senate
the tariff bill of 1916 became law, were held
up to the public gaze as the peculiar friends
of British free trade" He subsequently
became conspicuous as the author of the eel
ebrated "Wilmot Proviso," although he had
about as much to do with its inception as the
Man in the Moon 1t was written by mem
Der of Congress from Ohio. from whom Will
mot stole it, and introduced it, and hence its
name.
Wilmot is man of ability, but that the
people of Pennsylvania will ever endorse his
nomination we cannot believe. He is an ultra
Abolitionist, and his election would tend di-
rectly to widen the breach now existing be-
tween the North and the South. He belongs
to the Horace Greeley school of politicians,
and is imbued with all of Gresley's love fol
, niggerdom. His factious conduct in Con-
gress, when he professed to be democrat
can never be endorsed by the democracy o.
this State. He is peculiarly sectional can
dida.e, just as Fremont was last fall for Pres
ident The people of-Pennsylvania of placed
their seal of condemnation on him and hi
party, and We are very certain that Wilmo
will meet with the same fate.

men in behalf of political friend.

The entire Imprisonment of Keys was a
farce. He was under no restraint whatever
lived in the Jailor's parlor. and Jared surnp-
tuously on the best the market afforded Uu-
der such circumstances, he should baye been
made to suffer out his time, more especially
when We remember that Gov. POLLOCK decla-
red. at the beginning of his administration.
that no pardon would be grantee, unless no.
tice of the intended application was published
in one or more papers. This rule was not
complied with in the case of Keys His Ex-
cellency, no doubt, could discriminate in favor
Of SO distinguished martyr.

G. Nelson Smith.

The Harrisburg correspondent of the Penn
sylvania Inquirer, gives the following descrip-
ton of our fearless and Independent Repre-
sentative. Those who are well acquainted
with Mr.. Smith, will at once recognize its
truthfulness.
HARRISBURG, April 8, 1867.
In my letter of yesterday 1 continued my
sketches dowE to Clearfeld. The next county
is Cambria. She is represented by G. Nell
son Smith. This is the second year Mr..
Smith has been in the Legislature. He is,
presume, nearly six feet in height, and
squarely and broadly built. He looks to be
not more than forty-fve years of age, but is
upwards of fifty. He is, believe, the pro-
prietor of a Democratic newspaper, g The
Mountain Echo" published in Cambria
county. Mr.. Smith is man of strong nat
ural intellect. Indeed, he possesses more
talent than he gets credit for Upon the
floor of the House he seldom takes any part
in discussions. When he does, he shows
rough, vigorous strength. He has no ambi.
:ion to figure as an orator. This is apparent
in every movement. I believe he struggled
up amid poverty and discouragemenr to /:
worldly competence and his present position
That he is a man of strong personal at
tachments, was evinced in his adhesion through
out to General Foster in the late struggle fo
Senator. He stood by him closely to tn
last, against the pressure of party caucu
and the immense weight of Presidential in
reference His life is said to have been full
of incident and daring in earlier years. II
looks like q man of decided frmness; likel
to listen to the voice or eEtreaties of friend
ship, but certain to reject all attempts a
dictatioa.

The Opposition State Convention.

yTb;, body was composed of all the isms,
f..,;ons and broken down politicians IN the
State, and its deliberations were controliea Oy
.bou. a score of rotten and discarded oemo-
erats. We will mention few, as tar spe-
eimen of the balance.
Jadqs Kelley. of Philadelphia. figured very
prominently and was chairman OF the com
mittee on Resolutions. He was found coop
Grating with such Know Nothiugs as i0oo,
Coon,r Coulter, Brotherline, Bill Cook. and
o,he- ;,,ustrious members of the order, who'
,ro wears ago, would as soon thought OF sit
ting in Convention with him as one IN winch
Bishop Hughes was the presiding genus
We look upon Judge Kelley as one OF the
greatest political ingrates now extant. lie
was picked up out of obscurity by Gov For
ter and appointed Judge, asd IS indeO'eo 70
the Democratic party for his present position
in society. He failed however, IN procuring
denomination fromthe democratic party ana
now turns round and stings the bosom tha'
uourished and protected him.
We next find Thomas j. Po'oer. who was
formerly Superintendent on the Portage nan
Road. and who at one time had hosts OF 1riehos
in Cambria county. He was steadfast ana
consistent democrat until Potlochs eiection'
n 1884 when for some reason best known to
himself. he quit his old friends and moved IN
70 q Know Nothing lodge. We have no DOUBT
ho bitterly regrets the course he has TAKEN
but having done so, is isdetermined to make Tue
most cut of a bad bargain.
Then comes MorroU B. Lopry, OF Erie
county, who has always been regarded as one o.
the most corrupt and inscriptions politicians
in the State. He possesses some abiiity' Du'
a much stronger love for office, and as the
democracy would not recognize his CLAIMS ne
left them. He is now one OF the bright par
ticular stars of Republicanism
Last and least is that Prince of demagogue'
BM Cook. of Westmoreland. When ne wal
in the legislature he took special delight IL
abusing and vilifying the people of Cambria
county i, general and John S''odgrass IN par
t;cular. He is now the particular friend o
Snoderass, and we doubt not has occupied
seat in many Know Nothing lodge with him
He is the most contemplate specimen OF
small politician in western Pennsylvania L
addition to being a mountebank In politics. n
sometimes disgraces himself by attempting
expound the scriptures The democracy
Westmoreland are we'll rid of him, and :"
have no doubt his republican friends will 500
learn how to appreciate him. We could re
fer to few more of the same sort, but thos
We have mentioned are enough.

Trx, COPPER AND SHEET-IRoN WARE
Consumers and dealers in the above articles
arc referred to the advertisement of F. w.
Hay. Mr. Hay is. the most extensive manu-
facturer of these wares east of Pittsburg, and
by taking advantage of the increased facilities
in their production, is enabled to compete sue
cessfully with the city manufacturer in price
and terms. By giving the business his undi-
vided attention, and personally superintend-
ing the manufacture of his wares, he is not
afraid nor ashamed to advertise them as supe-
rior in quality to those generally offered to the
public, in proof of which he only asks an in
spection of his stock.-Cambria Tribune.
We take pleasure in transferring to our
columns, the above notice of our young
friend Hay. He has now on hand a good
assortment of stoves of all sizes and patterns,
together with large stock of Tinware, which
he will dispose of at wholesale or retail prices.
We would recommend persons living along
the Central and Portage Rail Roads to give
him call.
