THE FENIAN FIAsCO.

The papers have been very full of Fenian
operations for the last week, but we have
net been able to CLEAN anything startling
from them, Sweeney, Roberts and many
others have been arrested by the United
States authorities. The effort has collapsed
The New York Ere,aag Post has the fol-
Lowing in reference to our neutrality laws :
The President has issued a proclamation
warning all persons against taking part in
the unlawful enterprise which Sweeny, Rob
erts and others have undertaken, and COM
manding both the civil and military author
titles to do their duty in the premises, and
arrest all who engage in this land piracy.
1t Is we'll that everybody should know that
in this Fenian crew, all who claim the rank
of officers, subject them, under the laws of
the United States, to fire of three thou
sand dollars, and imprisonment for three
years while all who take the part of pri-
vate soldiers or sailors in this organization
subject themselves to one thousand dollars
and three years imprisonment. More
over, Swecny, Roberts and all the other
leaders and originators ofthis Fenian enter
prise are subject to fine of three thousand
dollars and three years imprisonment for
that offense.
We presume many, perhaps the greater
number Of the persons who have taken part
in this movement, are ignorant of the law
which they are violating, of the gravity of
the offense which they are about to commit,
and of the very serious and unpleasant pen
alties to which they are suhecting them
selves
If any one foolishly doubted the DISPOSE
tion of our government to observe its obi
cations to our neighbors, he is now enlight-
ened by the proclamation of the President.
We have the disposition and the power to
MAINTAIN peace and order on the border.
The country demands that this shall be done
at all hazards and the measures already
taken will put an end to the enterprise
which was hopeless from the first, and
whose chief result will be, as every one but
its victims foresaw, to drag considerable
number of misguided men from their homes
and peaceable industries, and make them
violators of the law Besides this, there is
the other result, that the nation is put TO a
considerable expense to put down this fool
ish and lawless attempt.

coppERHEAD TRIckERY.

Several weeks ago the Copperheads were
detected in industriousIy circulating a report
among the faithful that Nathan II. Wright,
of PleaSantpillc, had been removed from
the Post Office at that place and B. F.
Horn, a Copperhead, appointed in bis
stead. The matter had been conducted 20
quietly that Mr.. Wright aud bis friends
only learned the intentions of the vile trick
sters after they Toasted that the change had
already been made. No one knew the char.
ges against Mr. Wright. these had to be
learned before anything Of a rebattipg char
acter could be successfully iesorted to. And
When they were ascertaiDed oh shame,
whore IS thy blush they consisted Of char
ges manufactured out OF whole cloth, accu-
sing Mr. Wright Of almost every ungentle-
manly act, while there Is ms more honora-
bic. hospitable, peaceable and efficient off
cerin the county. In less than twenty-four
hours after the receipt ofthe charges, sever
al hundred adult persons, of both parties,
who receive their mail matter through the
Pleasantyille office, signed petition asking
the Department to retain him and denying
the libelious and slanderous charges prefer
red. In addition afidayits, in any number,
were voluntarily offered to refute every
charge preferred by the Copperhead despa-
radoes, all of which are now before the De
partment, and we have faint idea that
Copperhead tactics win meet the usual YER
dict-deJeated because tie snake 1cas too

The same course, it is limited to us, is to
be pursued with Lieut.. VIM. P BarndolIar,
Post Master at Bloody Run Mr. Barndol

efficient business men in this section Of
Pennsylvania, and in addition to his eficien-
cy he served his country faithfully for three
years in the swamps and miasmas of South
Carolina but this viii have no weight with
the INSCRIPTIONS men who run the Copper
head machine il this county They would
have the efficient and deserving dismiss

their purpose, were they ever so incapable

gentlemanof the Copperhead persuasion, you
cant come any Of your rascality over the
Union men of this county If you can't do
the thing on the square, we bet you can t
succeed on the other string. Please put

THE EFFECTS OF ..MY poLlcY.,

Journalist, Jane G. Swisshelm, is eontribu-

number we extract the following
Prominent Radicals here are in recent of
most touching appeals from loyalists of the
South, whose dwellings are burned, and who
are hunted like partridges by the triumphant
rebels. What is generally wanted is the
means OF getting away, as the hope of pro.
lection is abandoned. These appeals would
be more frequent but for the fearof discovery.
These suffering loyal people, white and black
are held in mortal fear, like children who
are cruelty beaten by nurses and threatened
with worse II they compain Witness the
petition from loyal men ofVirginia, which was
lately presented to the Senate by Mr.. Trum

consequences to the petitioners. A Congress

had been burned and he and his family driv.

AT the Democratic meeting held in the
Court House on Monday night of our last
February Court, Mr.. Shannon, the appa-
rent Democratic candidate for Prothonotary
OF this county, said in a speech that the
Legislature of Pennsylvania was considering
bill to disfranehise certain of the citizens
of Pennsylvania; and that he had no doubt
that it would pass it, because the Legisla-
ture was black enough to do anything. And
that he would notify the boards of election
throughout this county in writing, before
the election in the fall, that if they refused
the votes of any person on the ground set
forth in that act of the Legislature, he him
self would prosecute every one of them thus

THE EXECUTION OF PRoBsT.


Anton Probst, the murderer of the Deer
ing family, was hanged in Philadelphia on
Friday There were only thirty-fve per-
sons present at the execution, of whom sew
en- were reporters for the press. The Phil
adelphia Press, of Saturday says "While
on the way to the scaffold, the clergymen
were unremitting in their endeavors to con-
sole the wretched criminal, and he several
times casped the crucifx to his breast with
all the feryor of religious devotion. He
walked with firm step to the fatal spot,
where he was soon to expatiate his crime.
Upon reaching the gallows he assembled the
steps very firmly, and turning his eyes up
wards surveyed the moose pending from the
cross beam. He was followed by the cler-
gymen and the sheriff, and the prison su
perintendent.
The sun was shining very brightly from a
cloudless armament the high walls kept
oil the genial western breeze, and at this
moment the temperature was exceedingly
hot and oppressive. Pfobst stood firm, but
the glare of the sun prevented him from
looking upward, which he painfully endeav-
ored to do. He spoke to his confessor in
German.
The condemned man then said in broken
English accents, God will forgive me-
He now knelt and repeated the words of
the prayer, read from the book by the Rev,
Mr. Grunther. At this moment the cleric
al adviser enrobed himself in a purple satin
collar, with golden embroidery, and then
continued the religious service.
The prisoner arose and kissed the cruci-
fix. Now he began to tremble as though
he had an ague He attempted to stop this
but it was very evident that his nervous
system was becoming weaker. He and the
Rev Mr. Carbon now knclt again, while
the other clergymen stood uprighg.
Probst then made the sign of the cross

eerance formerly obtained by the southern
states in the government was due TO the fact
that they did not SO frequently send new men
to Congress. Old members are sure TO get
the control in legislative bodies. from their
familiarity with the rules and machinery,
whereas new men are obliged to spend half
the session in acquiring the requisite knoWl-
edge for the effective performance Of their
duties. If the constituencies of northern
states had been as sagacious as their oppo-
nents IN this respect there would have been
far less opportunity for complaint of southern
aggressions IN Congress.
''Rotatiun in Office is q device of the poll
ticians, who think only of themselves, and
regard the Offices as their property, to be held
for their profit but the fact is that the peo-
pie are to be served, and it is to their interest
that there should be no rotation in Office,
no change except where an officer is incapa-
bic, or where he can be superseded by man
Of decidedly greater ability. 1t is notorious
that q second or thira rate man, familiar by
long experience with the rules and practice,
the humor and spirit Of Congress, almost
certainly makes a more effective representa-
tive than far ADLER or profounder man, new
10 the House.
Among the states which have for some time
past pursued the policy of re-eleeting their
representatives. in Congress are Massachu-
seits. Vermont, Connecticut, New Hampshire,
indiana, Iowa and Minnesota. Other dis
tricts have fallen more or less into the prac
tice its general adoption would greatly help
to secure a definite policy for the country,
and to strengthen the government.
If such policy were adopted in regard
to the members of all legislative bodies it
would obviate much bungling legislation
aud save much precious time. If Pennsyl-
vania had long ago adopted such course,
her great industrial interests, so 7itally con
nected with the national prosperity, would
not have been so long overlooked and neg
lected Let her improve the lessons of the
past and embrace the opportunities Of the
present to enter upon the highway to per-
manent prosperity

Negley made a few remarks, thanking the
meeting for the honor conferred upon him.
Geo. w. Glenn, of Dauphin, was elected
secretary.
Gen. Coils moved that the delegates
pledge themselves to conform to the decis-
ions of the convention. Gen. Owen could
not see the necessity Of passing such reso-
luton now as he considered that any true
soldier who participated was In honor bound
to conform to the action of the convention.
The resolution was temporarily postponed
A committee on credentials was appointed
with Capt. Conner, ofPhiladelphia, as chair

A recess Of half an hour was then taken.

DIITER WINE OF IRON.

An exquisite preparation of dry Span ish Wine
with the activity Of CALISAYA BARK, and the
most energetic of all the furruginous salts, CT
TRATE OF MAGNETIC OXIDE OF IRON.
It has vinous favor, very grateful to the palate,
is without chalybeate taste and viii ret discolor
the teeth.
1t exeites languid appetite, gives zest to food,
improves digestion, increases the strength, stead
les the circulation, takes of muscular 1abbiness,
removes the paor Of debility, gives frmness and
precision the actions of the system, with
power to endure fatigue and resist disease
MAGNETIC CITRATE OF IRON is new
and peculiar, differing from the ordinary Soluble
Citrate, in containing an equivalent OF PRoToxlDE

tasteless, without astringency, as prompt and en-
ergetic as the Chloride, and unlike that, induces
no local infamatory action or headache.
CALISAYA BARK is pre- eminent among veg
