As to what special disease, ai!ment, or

tlCtk Oflhe Courts.

The Harrisburg Telegraph, Governor
Ourtins organ, takes us to task for semo
remarks We made week before last rela-
tive to the within olding by the Governor
of Mr.. Ceilings commission as Clerk of
the Courts. Mr.. Ceilings was elected by
clear majority, counting the army vote
and ALL but after the meeting Of the return
judges to count the army vote, Mr.. Bald
win filed petition to contest the election
on the ground of illegal votes received in
'he cou,'ty. The law requires the petition
to be filed in such cases "witbin ten days
Of the election and Mr.. Baldwin not filing
his till more than month after the elec
ton, Judge COnyugham promptly quash
ed it, declared Ceilings elected, approved
of his bonds and they we're at once sent to
Harrisburg Now why did not the COM
mission come? 1t was some time after
this before Ba dwin took measures to take
the case TO the Supreme Codrt, and why
was the commission withheld Can the
Telegraph answer that question :
Governor Curtin now informs Mr.. Co.
fings that he cannot give his commission
! because the case is still in the Courts -
Now mark the consistency Of Curtn, He
sent Mr. Grant commission for Associ--
ate Judge Of this county when the case
was being contested in the Court, and
when hi, opponent, Mr.. Harrison, held
the regular certificate ofthe return judges,
thus emitting him prima !, Gle to the com.
mission. But Curtin commissioned Grant
and he is now holding his seat Oh the Bench
"htovgh the case has net get been deril-
ed? What then becomes Of the Governor S
excuse, Mr.. Thgraph q? Suppose you
call on him and ascertain from h i'm if he
has not placed hmsclfin just that p sition.
The truth is, the Governors conduct in
these cases has been most reprehcnsible,
showing more OF The small politician, will
ing to serve his political friends and keep
them in office by pa'try tricks, than it
does Of the highminded character that
should belong to the Governor Of great
State. And we are surprised that M
Baldwin should attempt to ho.d an Office
to which he knows he was not elected, by
resorting to the delays incident to the
Courts. We have never heard one of hi
own party friends here justify it. HI
was much thought of as a man and al
officer when his term expired, but we fea
he has damaged himself materially. Th
Ulegroph will have to invept some olhc
excuse for its master, for the one given i
,n;radicted by the Governors own acts

Sl,5O A YEAR IN ADVANCE.

All possibility of competition from ne
gro labor in the North, is avoided by
giving colored men protection ard employ
mont npon the soil which they have thus
far cultivated, and the right to which has
been vacated by the original proprietors,
deeply involved in the crimes of treason
and rebellion.
No great territory has been permanent
ly reduced without dcpriving the leaders
Of its people of thci: lands and property
1t is this that gives power and influence
to few men who have the commanding
genius and talent to exercise dangerous
influence over their fellow men without
the adyentitious aid Of money and proper
ty. By strihiug dopn this system Of
compulsory tabor which aids the leaders
of the people, the rebellion aeould die Of
HseE
Under no circumstances has any dispo-
sition to servile insurrectlon been exhlb-
tied by the colored people in any OF the
Southern States where strong loyalty
to the Federal Go, crnment has been dis
played on every occasion, against every
discouragemcnt.
BY the means suggested the rebellion
may be disarmed and subdued swiftly and
effectively and the lives Of our own people
saved from slaughter on the battle fields.
/ BY the occupation Of all their ports IN
the Mississippi seacoast, market will be
opened in every rebel State for the IN
dustry of our people to supply the wants
of the army, aud also Of a loyal popula-
ton, in exchange for the valuable pro-
ducts of their abar. Another point OF
attack is by armed settlements upon the
vacant government lands in Florida and
Texas. Thousands in the northern and
Western States are impatiently waiting
the military movement to plant their
houses in the best territory of this contl-
nent, and bring it back to the Union as
loyal States.
So far from the Southern States being
inyincible, no enemy was ever so vuner-
able If tie means at hand are employed
against them. If your proposition for
compensated emancipation and u younta-
ry return to loyalty be blipdIy rejected,
still the proper application of the means
at command Of the government cannot
f,il to accomplish the suppression of the
rebellion and restoration of those peace
ia! relations which were designed to be
established forever on this continent By
the union Of the States.

TIE Cosr OF OUR NAvY.-Thc cxpondi-
tiures or the Navy Department for the
year ending the 30th of June last were a
little over S42 100000. This is only
about sixty per cent. of the ordinary an
pual expenditure of Great Britain for her
Navy. Napoleon spent last year, though
at peace with everybody, third more on
his navy than we did on ours.
But it is not asserted that while onr
Navy costs US $4,000, 900 last year, the
proceeds of the seizures made by it a.
mount to about $40,000,000. If this is
arue, it would seem that by the joint Ell.
