The Expulsion OF the Traitor.

The United States Senate, on Wednes-
day last, by vote Of thirty-two to fourteen,
expelled Jesse D. Bright, from his seat
as a Senator from the State of Indiana
The causes which led to this expulsion
were freely and fairly discussed before the
Senate and the people, and the result thus
arrived at will undoubtedly receive the
appreciation and concurrence of the loyal
citizens of all the loyal states. At time
of great public peril, when Jefferson Davis
lad been made the chief Of the conspir-
ators and the head of the traitor confed-
eracy, Bright wrote him words Of cougrat-
ulation, introduced to him a friend who
offered to supply the rebels with arms,
and by other acts and recognitions,
proved that he sympathized with, and
desired the success Of the rebellion
These facts and circumstances were fairly
established by the record, the confes-
sions Of Bright himself, with the letter
he had written to Jefferson Davis. With
this proof before it; the Senate could not
have done less than expel Bright, and
thus refer his case to the Legislature of
Of the State Of Indiana, which accredited
him as the representative of that State,
aud with which body it now remains to
Eli a position thus made vacant by the
private, public and convicted treason of
Jesse D. Bright.
We regard this action of the United
States Senate as the sturdiest blow that
has yet been struck at class Of secret
sympathizers with treason, who have been
working great injury to the country ever
since the flag of secession vas unfurled
Tt was a decision at once demanded by
the proof against Bright, the exigencies of
the public service, ard the necessity of

John G. EsreCAERrsdge.

That notorius traitor, John G. Breckin-
ridge, late President of the United
States, is candidate for seat in the con-
federate Congress. He has published an
address to the people of Kentucky, an
nouncing his candidacy, in which he ode
fines his position" thus:
81 am utterly opposed to a reconstruc-
tion of the old government, or any meas
ure which In the remotest degree tends
in that direction. For one, [ shall never
consent that peace shall be made until the
very last Of all the enemies OF our liberty
shall be driven, not only from our hal
lowed soil, but from every foot of terri
tory which, by its geographical position,
naturally belongs to the South"
Mr.. Breckinridge's unalterable opposi-
ton to ga reconstruction Of the old gov
ernment' is as much matter of course
as Benedict Arnold's opposition to Amer
lean independence after the att tempted
surrender of West Point. If the Union
is ever reconstructed, Breckinridse is a
lost man, while if the rebel confederacy
succeeds, his intense thirst for Office may
yet find qualification. He does not state
how much of the national territory he
supposes, ''by Its geographical position,
naturally belongs to the South - but his
peculiar phraseology implies that it in
cludes more than the states already in
Notwithstanding less, We suppose, than
all the slave states. You will soon see,
Monsieur Breckinridge, in what direction
the boundaries Of the "hallowed soiI'' are
most likely to travel.-N r. World.

HARRIsBURG, Fe5y. Z, 1862.
| Correspondence of The Alleghanian.
The proceedings Of the Legislature con-
tinue to "drag their slow length along, .
affording nothing new or startling, which
might be dished up in communication
! for publication. The action upon the res
olutions instructing our Senators to vote
for the expulsion of Jesse d. Bright from
the Senate Of the United States, resulted
in disagreement between the two Hou-
ses. Before Committees of Conference
could be appointed, decide and report, the
Indiana Senator was thrust "out in the
cold," with Instructions to submit his ease
to the loyal people OF the Hoosier State.
The annexed Bill has passed both
Branches -
Be it enacted, &C., That the quota of the
direct tax, apportioned to the State of Penn
sylvania for The current gear, 1862, by the
act of Congress, entitled 'iAn Act TO provide
increased revenue from imports to pay inter-
est on the public debt, and for other purpo-
ses," passed on the 9TH day Of August, 1861, q,
the sum of 81 ,946, TO SO be, and the same is
hereby, assumed by the State and that for
the purpose of paying and satisfying the
same to the treasury of the United States,
after deducting sach per centuns as nsGy ts
aUOsCed thereon, in accordance with the pro-
visions of said act, the Governor is hereby
authorized to release to the United States,
the whole or any part of the claim OF this
State against the United States and to pay
any balance of said quota that may remain
due after such release out of any moneys
heretofore refunded, that may hereafter
be refunded to this State by the United States,
on account of expenses incurred by ,his State,
in enrolling, subsisting, clothing, supplying,
armng, equipping, paying, and transporting
volunteers employed in aiding to suppress
the present insurrection against the United
States.
ResOgued, That the Governor be requested
to furnish copy of the foregoing to the
Treasurer of the United States.
The Senate has resolved to adjourn
over from to-day until next Tuesday af-
ternoon. The House will probably ad-
journ over for the same period. When
they again assemble, something may be
brought forward that will elicit public
attention Thus far in the Session, mo-
notony has characterized the ''doings" of
our lawmakers. The variety and change
of scene presented in the old song, COM
posed of ninety-nine verses, all embraced
in the lines
There was an old man and there was an old
woman,
They both did live in a vinegar bottle;
This good old man and this good old woman
They both did live in g vinegar bottle" )
is in character with the last months Leg
islatiye proceedings.
For the present [ have nothing more
to say, for the simple reason that there is
nothing more to be said.

Barbarian Among the Rebels

Since the rebellion commenced, one
hundred and thirty FIVE lighthouses erect
ed by the United States on the southern
coast have been destroyed by the rebels,
in consequence Of which, several British
and Spanish vessels have been wrecked
IS we'll as some Americans. These extiu-
guished lights were established to promote
the safety Of the commerce of the world
NOT TO- the exclusive use Of vessels car
rying the flag of the Union, and their
destruction is nothing less than an act
of wanton oarbarism against all mankind.
In that view such acts have always been
regarded by civilized nations. But the
English press, which has declaimed so
loudly about the vandalism displayed by
the federal authorities in attempting a
submarine blockade Of the rebel port of
Charleston, can see nothing wrong in the
demolition Of these lighthouses. 1t is
related of Louis XIV. of France, tha.
being at war with England during the
building of the Eddystone Light house,
French priyateer took the men at work
upon the rock, together with their tools,
and carried them to France, for which
achievement the captain was in expecta-
tion of reward from his government
While the captives lay in prison, the
transaction reached the ears Of Louis, who
Immediately ordered them to released, and
the captors to be put in their places, de-
claring that, though he was at war with
England, he was not so with mankind
lie therefore directed the men to be sent
back to their work, with presents-ob-
serving that ''the Eddystone Light house
was SO situated as to be Of equal service
to all nations having occasion to navigate
thechannel between England and France. %
