ions. Quite recently it has been ascertaincd
that one Cornwall, u clerk in the Ircasurcr's
oiiico in Washington has stolen one hundred
thousand dollars, and yet there is very hil!l said
about it. Such conduct seems to be common
in every DcpaI tment--it is tie rule, not the
exception. In this connection we ask the atten-
tion Cf our readers to the following remarks of
the Age in regard to tho communication money!
AS many Of them know the difficulties cypcri.

had to pay, they will naturally feel an anxiety

says:
''Ten millions OF the peoples money paid o.

of Congress On the 2lst inst, a remarkable fact
was ELECTED. by Elr. brooks, New York. Tho

sum of Sl0,0G0,000. In an application ior an

been received by the Secretary Of War, and

been made by Congress for that purpose
mir. Cox, (orp) Of Ohio, inquired whether
tho Ten millions received rs commutatien were
included in the twenty now required.
MIR. Stevens replied that bis understanding
was that tho ten millions were includod.
Mr. Brooks offered an amendment to the bill,
TO the effect shat tho twenty millions named
therein shull include oil Communication money

Editorial Note.

AS our name has been placed at the head of
this paper, as assistant editor, during the alb
sence of the editor, we take occasion to say that,
though far less competent to fulfil the duties of
the post than those who have so ably performed
them before us; we shall, nevertheless, endea-
vor to do our whole duty for the good of the
time honored principles ever advocated by the
Gazette. We shall endeavor TO pursue the same
line of policy heretofore pursued by the editor
of this paper; and shall endeavor TO stand up
for the rights Of froemen as firmly as he We
shall not hesitate to denounce every usurpation
of the present administration, as boldly as VIC
may see fit. without regard to consequences
But, whilst we endesyor to do all this, we shall
try to make the paper no less inter es.ipg than it
has always beon before.

HARRIsBURG, Jan. 4, 1854.
DEAR GAZETTE:
AS seat myself to write, the "Repub-
licsn"- Abolition, or as they style themselves in
their call for their caucus, the "National Union"
party of the House, are assembled in secret con-
clave for the purpose of nominating candidates
for Speaker, Clerk, &c. MIR. johnson, of Craw-
ford, it is said, will be their nominee for the first
named Office. He is gentleman of ability,
and his pleasing address and aflabiiity of dis
position, have made him many friends. AS the
opponents of the Democracy are in the majority
in the House, and win, Of course, choose the
Speaker, it is some consolation to know that a
man of Mr. lohnson's stamp will be selected to
fill that important position For Clerk, it is
thought that our neighbor, Mr. Benedict, Of
Huntingdon will be the Republican" nominee.
Col Mcdowell, a renegade Democrat, is his op-
ponent, but MIR. Benedict will defeat him; for,
much as our opponents love the treason, they
heartily despise the traitor. Besides, Mr. Ben
ediot was treated very scurvily by his party in
Huntingdon county, in their refusal to give hin,
a denomination for Representative, end this
fact enlists for him tho sympathy of many o!
the "Republican" members. AS to the other
Offices in the gift of the House, the applicants

Among them is to be seen every hue ard shade
of the small fry of the mongrel ''Republican'

The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1864-01-08

We have begun the new year; and who shall
tell us what it will bring us before its clsse ?
How many prophecies by Stewards How many
victories by Burnside and Hooker shall we haye'
and how often will the war be ended during tbe
present year?-Can any one tell us how MANY
proclamations will be issued from the White
House? and how often the President will ret
the measles, scarlet fever, or small pox before it
IS overY These are questions not easily answer
cd. But one need not be prophet, nor "the
son of prophet" in order TO foretell the terri
BILE scenes Of slaughter and bloodshed that are
yet to beiall the nation before the consumu,a.
ton OF its ruin by the fanatics now in power.
How often have the hopes of the nation been
raised by the announcement that the rebellion
was med!-that Richmond was "doomed
city"-that the entire Southern army was s.;ust
within our grasp and that jeff Davis was a.
bout packing his traps in order to take his de-
parture for parts unknown. Yet how often were
they disappointed
we should like very much to see this year
finish the war, and restore the Union. But,
alas! what hope is there of this under IL mig
ger policy of the present administration? We
answer, none. The clouds hang a, darlsly over
the portals of the present year as they did over
the last What power shall lift them and re-
store the light again7 Surely not the present
administration.
