MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10.
The Washington correspondent OF the Ba!tl.
more Gazette, says that the extreme measures,
recently proposed in the Radical caucuses.
cannot be carried-that the majority will not
consent to territorialize the South, nor agree
to ignore the existence Of the Southern States
But at the same time he thinks every measure
calculated to huniliate the PRESIDENT will be
adopted. This TALES with what Mr. Schenck
is reported to have said 1t may be added,
however, that the ultra Radicals themselves
express the greatest confidence that al! their
measures will be adopted-and some even
boast, that the full extent Of their vengeance has
not yet been developed. This may be, and we
hope, is mere gab
The Washington correspondent OF the New
York Tribune, speaking Of the late demonstra-
ton Of welcome to Congress says 1t was
considered sublimely absurd. Several Of the
most prominent and judicious members OF both
Houses deprecated the movement. and de-
clined to participate in it. But the men who
had it in hand were not to he talked down: 50
the demonstration came on-and went off
with much real interest to those who follow
ed it from first to last--excepting possibly,
the projectors, who waked up next morning
to find themselves 81, 900 behind.
Governor Worth has received an order from
Major General Sickles: prohibiting the inhic-
ton of corporal punishment by the courts of
North Carolina This is one Of the strange
things of the day-this "ordering' Of Gov
errors by military commanders, and arrests Of
citizens by military authority, that we read of
every now and then. We had thought the
Presidents Proclamation had settled these
matters-but it. seems, cirI law is not yet
restored.
The question of the Homestead Law, the
repeal CT the existing Usury Laws, the estat-
lishment of q judiclous system Of emigration,
the organization Of labor, the dcvising some
measure of relief to the debtor class, without
doing injury to the creditor and the Inaugural
ton of some fixed system Of education for the
masses through the agency Of common schools.
will all come up for consideration before the
Legislature Of Virginia at its present session.
The case of the Com. vs.. Major Il. g. Lewis,
is still going on before the Circuit Court Of
King George county. Gov. Wise, employed
for the prosecution. has arrived, and is engag-
ed in the case. Several witnesses were ez-
amined on Friday aud Saturday, and the argu
ment will be commenced early this week. The

STATE POLITICS.

BEDFORD, Pa, Aug. 18--Hon. B. F. Mey-
er, of this place, was to- day unanimously
nominated as the Democratic and National
Union candidate for State Senator
The above dispatch was forwarded by Mr..
Meyers, or by some one who does his puff
fing, to the associated press Immediately
after he was nominated for Senator. He
is fit Representative of the National
Union Party. We do not know how the
conference could have improved upon the
nomination unless it had hit upon
some one who had entered the rebel army.
The linking of the term Democrat with
National Union" is an easy way Of letting
the Cops down.
We are highly gratifed that the Copper
head nomination has fallen upon Mr.. Mey-
ers, there are no ifs, ands or butts in his case,
nothing but pure copper 1t will never be
said of this gentleman that he sails under
false colors, his record is too well known.
and We feel quite sure that every vote which
he receives viii come from the intensely
bitter Copperheads of his own stripe. Some
men are prcdestiued to be set up to be
knocked down.

speech Of Gen. Koontz, at Johnstown.
The Jobnstotcn Tribune of the 18th inst.
has the following comments upon a speech
delivered by Gen. VIM H. Koontz, our can
didate for Congress, at that place, on Friday
evening, August the 10th, which is certainly
very complimentary:
''Those Of our citizens who had never heard
Gen. Koontz were most agreeably taken cap
tive by the eloquent words which fell from
his lips on Friday evening. Although the
hour was late and he labored under the dis
advantage of having been preceded by two
able speakers, he nevertheless held his large
audience in unbroken rank until his speech
was ended. We assure the General that he
has made many warm friends in Johnstown
by his recent visit Orators are born, not
made, and the General is an orator born.
How exquisite and exceedingly appropriate
was his allusion TO the ladies in the audience!
How pathetic was his reference to our dead
heroes and to the living who mourn for them!
How well he told the story of The Irishman at
Niagara! How mercilessly he impaled the
Democratic party on its record of the last
five years. Not a single Democratic meeting
during the whole war to congratulate our sol
diers upon the achievement of victory, but
when the Freedmen Bureau Bfll is vetoed
then bonhres and speeches are made by the
score! How completely he tore the limsy
veil of loyalty from the Philadelphia Conven
ton, and exhibited it in the regulation uni
form Of Confederate gray! How admirable
was his eulogy of the Union party, which
saved the Union, and upon which the maytyr-
ed Lincoln loved to lean! How whitening
was his denunciation Of the man who could
hang the poor tool Wirz and treat the occu.
pant of Fortress Monroe like lordly guestl
How irresistible was his argument that as
the Rebels had spent FIVE years in attempting
to destroy the Union, they should not be in
a hurry to reconstruct it! How indignantly
did he rebuke the Democratic leaders for
their unparalleled inhumanity in prosecuting
with yengeful hatred the poor blacks, Just
released from bondage ikened to which
that of the Children of Israel was liberty it.
self! How earnest was his closing appeal to
60 to the polls and stand by the party that
has stood by the Union! We regret that lack
of space prevents US from doing more than
praise the Generals speech. We hope, for
the credit of Mother Somerset and for the
honor of Pennsylvania, to be able to chroni
Gle his reelection to Congress by a handsome
majority.
