Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1862-12-09

The Wilmington Journal copies all our article
about Judge'Shepherd, and offers lame reply to it
The object is apparent The Judge is in training
for race for Congress in the Cape Fear District,
and it is important to quote the Standard against
him, so as to strengthen him with certain preiu-
diced or ignorant "precipitators or Destructives-
in that District This Is singular way of elec-
tioneering But the Judge broke faith with his
constituents in voting for Mr.. Davis for Senator
There is no doubt about that If the people of
Cumberland and Harnett had been generally in
formed that he would vote if elected for Mr.. Davis
for Senator and against Mr.. Graham, be would not
have received five hundred votes

The Change in the Cabinet.

II seems that President Lincoln has at last
concluded 10 regard the wishes Of the people,
at least in an isolated instance, having compel
led Simon Cameron to retire from his Cabinet,
and having selected in bis stead the Hon. Ed
WIN M. STANTON, the last Attorney General of
President BUCHANAN. There can be no doubt
as to the benefits which it is expected will en-
ure TO the country from this wholesome though
long delayed change. But is i:not Astounding
thai one of the very men who were the objects
OF the most unmanly censure and the viest a.
buse on the part Of the sRepublicans," should
now be preferred by "Repubican" President
to any "Republican" leader in the whole Union!
1t only proves that Mr.. LINCOLN has been fore
ed to believe what is now almost every day as
serted, that the Democracy alone can bring the
country out OF lis present tioubles.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1862-01-24
The Removal of Cameron.

A special correspondent of the New York
Times, gives the following account of the man
ner in which Simon Cameron was forced out
Of the Cabinet:
Washington was never more asiounded than
it was 10 day by the announcement that Secre-
iary Cameron had retred. The thing was
wholly unexpected, and no man was more sur
prised than Secretary Cameron himself. II
seems that the change made is wholly the
work OF The President.
The first agitation of the subject in the Pres
ldent's mind occurred last Thursday. Yester-
day he bad formed his conclusion, and address
ed aote - Cameron, informing him OF it.
This note was received by Cameron last night,
and was the first intimalion he had that change
was determined on.
We are not allowed to know the reasons of
the President for this charge, but we can safely
venture the opinion that it results from his
conviction that the country desires aud has
long desired change.
Ii would be useless TO deny; also, that the
President and his friends felt that Mr.. Cameron
has not been recently sympahizing with the
Administration, bot on the contrary has been
N active sympathy with politicians IN Wash
ington, who are zealously and bitterly oppos-
ing the President and his measures.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1862-01-24
Legislative Corruption.

We perceive by the Legislative Record, that
Hon. WILLIAM HopKINs, of Washington coua-
ty, has offered resolution in the House of Re-
presentatives to appoiat committee of five
members 10 inquire whether improper means
were used to procure the passage OF the bill for
the communication of tonnage duties at the last
session Of tlle legislature. We hope that Mr..
Hopkins resolution will be adopted and that
the proposed investigation will be made at once
and thoroughly. We fear, however, that the
present legislature will not be equal 10 the work,
for the reason that The control of both houses is
10 the handsof the party whose interest it is TO
cover up the frauds and enormties connected
with the legislation OF last session. II sgene-
rally believed in wel-inforlned circles, that a
certain notorious politician who resides in
Franklin county, originated the "un;on party''
getting the House Of Representatives under his
thumb, SO that be might be enabled TO squeeze
out Of that body all nquisitveness on the sub
ject Of bribery and corruption, especially with
regard TO the passage of the act for the commu-
talion of The tonnage duties. We are, there
fore, led to doubt whether Mr.. Hopkins COM
mittee, as constructed under the supervision OF
Il. X. Mcclure, would be any thing more than
committee OF whits-washers. Nevertheless,
since the resolution calling for an invesiga, ion
has been introduced, we hope that it will be a.
dopted and acted upon, not only for The sake of
making the initiatory step toward the purifca-
tion Of our public counsels, but that justice may
be done to the parties accused, or suspected, be
they guilty or innocent.

County.


The Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch has the
following:
"The most noticeable feature of legislation
50 tar as the House is concerned, this week, has
been the contesting of seats. One case has
heenSdisposed of that Of Cessna ps. House,
holder--the main points of which I gave you
in my last. The case was palpabIy PLAIN that
under the provisions OF The Constitution Bed
ford county is entitled to separate representa-
ton, and the committee reported in Cessna's
favor, who was sworE In, and has taken his
seat"
The Reading Gazette says:
Hon. JOHN CESSNA, of Bedford, has gained
.Ee contest for seat in The Legislature, in place
OF Mr., Householder, (Republiean) who was re-
turned as one of the Representatives of the Bed
ford and Somerset district. The Committee
who tried the case, reported on Thursday the
following facts, to wit: That Bediold county,
under the Constitution, was clearly entitled 10
a separate representation; that the union of Bed
ford and Somerset by the ApportIonment of
1887 was unjust and unconstitutional; that, Mr..
Cessna, having had 1000 majority in Bedford
county, was duly elected lis Representative.
The report was accepted, and Mr.. Cessna was
Immediately sworn 10. He will be an able
and valuable acquisition to the Democratic side
of the House.
