NARROW ESCAPE OF JUDGE BREwsrER.-In
Philadelphia on Monday of last week, as
Judge F. Carroll Brewster was listening to
the arguments in case of equity, he lean
ed forward for moment to receive some
information from an officer of the court,
who stood in front of the bench The move
ment saved his life, for instantly w4hout
the slightest premonitory warning, a cir
cular iron ventilator, weighing some eighty
pounds, which occupied position in the
ceiling directly above, fell with tremend-
Gus force upon the back of the chair, crush
ing it to pieces as though it were made of
the most brittle material Not only the
back of the chair, but even the hindmost
legs were broken. Had it not been for his
momentary change of position this immense
weight would have fallen upon the Judges
head, crushing it as it did the chair. Ger
tainly, most miraculous escape.

HORACE GREELEY-GENERAL AMNESTY.

few weeks ago the election of HORACE
GREELEY TO the Senate of the United States,
by the Legislature of New York, seemed a
moral certainty, and to-day, the moral cer-
tainty is that he will not now be elected
United States Senator and simply be-
cause he came out a few weeks ago, in
manifesto to the republicans of the country,
declaring himself in favor of abandoning
the Amendments to the Constitution, pro-
posed by Congress at its last session, and
in favor of General Amnesty, or pardon,
to all rebels. We say this is right Such
changing, whiffing character is not fit
to be the representative of a party in the
United States Senate, because he is uoL
safe, and can never be trusted. Why, the
was in the Senate, he would be with the
South in less than year, on some wild
plea of humanity, or magnanimity.
We trust that the republicans of the
State of New York, will stand by their
plighted faith to the Amendments to the
Constitution. 1t is their only safety as a
party, not only because the loyal masses
want to see treason punished and made odi
Gus, but because steadfast purpose in ad-
herring to principles, is the only safety in
politics, as indeed, it is in any other pur-
suit of life. AS political organization,
we supported the Amendments for the rea-
son that we thought them right--intrinsi-
cally right-and we approved of the pun
ishment of traitors, for the reason that JUS
tice, and future safety required it and we
have seen no reason since for change on
these points. Indeed, the Memphis and
New Orleans riots and other rebel exhibi-
tions of unfitness and unsaieness for citi-
zenship, have gone far to prove that we
were right in insisting that treason required
punishment

PREPARATIONS FOR THE -UAGURATION
OF GOVERNOR GL.4RY.

HARRIsBURG, Dec 12.-The following ad,
dress by the Central Club of the Boys in
Blue of Pennsylvania has just been issued
from their headquarters in this city to their
companions in arms throughout the State
To the Boys in Blue of Pennsylvania :---
We, the undersigned committee appointed
by the Boys in Blue of Harrisburg, at a
special meeting held at their hall on Thurs
day evening, December 6, 1866, to consider
the expediency of having a grand display
of the Boys in Blue ON the occasion of the
Inauguration of the Governor elect, Major
General John W. Geary, would beg leave
to suggest the propriety, and at the same
time extend to their brethren throughout
the State cordial invitation to be present
on that occasion.
Shoulder to shoulder we fought the bat
ties of the Union on many well contested
field, and when the conflict of arms was
over and when we had returned to our
homes to enjoy the fruits of our victory,
under the leadership of General Gearv we
marched IN solid column to the ballot box
and there thwarted the Vaccinations of
those at home who would destroy those
glorious results which we strove SO hard to
bring about. 1t is, therefore, fitting, that
we assemble ourselves together at the
State capitol at the time above specified,
and ratify by our presence the political vic
tory we have lately won and make strong
er and brighter those links which bind US
together in the circle of a sacred compan-
ionship. All those organizations of asso.
Citations who may see fit and proper to at
tend on the occasion specified will please

date as is convenient L. S. HART

NEW EPISCOPAL Observation-Disclosures
now contains two Protestant Episcopal Di-
oceses-one west of the Allegheny mount
aims, with Pittsburg as its centre, of which
Bishop Kerfoot is the head and the other
east of that boundary, presided over by
Bishop Stevens. At the last annual Con
vention, held in Philadelphia, it was pro-
posed to subdivide the eastern Diocese and
committee was appointed to take the mat
ter into consideration. This committee met
in the rectory of Christ Church. in the city
of Reading, OIL the Goth ult, when the fol-
lowing members were present Rev. Dr.
Howe, of Philadelphia, Chairman Messrs.
Lightner, of Danville Leacock, of Harris
burg Cummins, of Reading Mr. William
Welsh, of Philadelphia Judge Parry, of
Pottsville Mr.. Russell, of Towanda Dr.
Atlee, of Lancaster, and Mr. Gum, of Homes
dale. The need of more Epis copal super
vision over the Diocese was generally ad-
mitted and lines of division were proposed.
which we understand, are to include all
that portion of the State, east of the Allie
gheny mountains, and north of Philadel-
phia, York, Lancaster, Chester and Bucks
counties.
