Gov. Curtin.

The second term of Gov. Curtin's Ad-
ministration is now drawing to close
And it is with no small satisfacti on that
the people of the State generally, and
his party friends insparticular, realize that
his entire administration las tean sosuc-
cessfui.
Called to the Chair of State, be-
tore it was known what the policy of the
Federal Government would be, he hesi-
tated not to proclaim, in his inaugural
address, that the authority of the FEEDER.
al Government must be maintained at all
hazards. a little later. by his influence
the Reserve Corps was organized, which
proved of so much service to the nation
al cause. Still later, when the clouds
were rolling heavily over our heads, when
all was darkness and gloom, when the
heart of the lamented Lincoln seemed to
quake, and when ia his extreme solici-
tude he called the Governors Of the 10y
al States to meet him in couLcil, the
voice of Curtin was the first to utter
words of encouragement and cheer !;
"Pennsylvania" he said, "would give an
additional hundred thoasand brave men
for the Nations salvation" So patriot
ic, so efficient has been his Administra.
tion both in military and civil sense,
that his fame is coextensive with the
Union, Little wonder then that the fn-
ger of fate should be pointed to him,
with unerring certainty, as the favorite
among our many public men, to receive
her choicest honor scat in the United
States Senate.

Gov. Gunlmings.

We read lately, letter of Gov. Cum,
mings, of Colorado, in defence of his
course in issuing the certificate of elec>
tion to the delegate elect, from that ter
ritory 20 Congress. He expresses great
surprise that il should be necessary,
here in Pennsylvania, for him to have to
defend himself by letter. He thinks
that here at least, his reputation, like
Cazars wife, should be above suspicion.
Rejecting that tais is the same gentle
man who had charge of the Senatorial
caucus Of '55, of which we have hereto,
fore spoken, and who, at later day, was
a sort of qua siagent OF the War Depart
ment fer the purchase of clothing for the
army, who was so successful in his large
purchases of cotton pants and straw hats
for ''the boys in blue we don't wonder
that he feels just Indignation O at be-
ing called upon now that his reputation
is secured by long and faithful O ser
vice to his country. Perhaps, when
Congress meets, however, his Excclency
@ may find something more than an ap-
peal to his affected dignity necessary for
his vindication.

Communications,

For tho Citizen.
Mr.. EDITOR There is no Disgusting
the fact that three or four gentlemen OF
this county, in the interest of Gen, Cam.
cron, have bccu very much exercised even
as late as last week, in his interest. But
they are very retrisent as to what they
want done exactly, or rather their mole
of doing it. From onr stand point, we
are inclined to believe that they would
fain induce our Representatives that they
should disregard their instructions. This
we regard, not only as an insult to our
Representatives, but, as treason to Re-
publican principles. To all such we wish
to give notice that they viii be he'd to n
strict account for, even the attempt to
thus secure the betrayal Of the people
This county has spoken, and spoken en-.
phatiacdy in favor Of Gov. Curtin
Should any feel that this result was pro.
cured by unfair means, let them say so
and ask another hearing. We have no
hesitation in suying that the friends of
the Governor will be perfectly willing to
retest the matter. But unless this is
done we say it is not only uumanly but
reasonable to attempt to overcome the
expressed will of the people as is now
sought to be doue, by denying the peo-
PIES rights in the premises altogether,

N-S--~

RD~ Conservatives have made quite an
advance since the election, as the follow
ing from the New York Hera3i, of re-
cent date, illustrates:
"These facts, we say, have been made
clear by the late elections, and Congress
may now begin with a new broom and
sweep away all the constitutional quib>
bling and pettiiogging and executive pro.
ccediugs and limitations by which this
business Of Southern reconstruction has
been bcfogged and confused and delayed.
We shall expect, therefore, with tue re-
assembling Of Congress, the exercise OF
its war powers as far as necessary in some
general ct Or acts of legislation covering
all the excluded States and bringing
them to the simple solution of submis
sion to the laws"
