triumphed. They have elected the fearless
soldier, General Hawley, Governor, and a

fourth of March, 1867. More than this;

mo PAY FOR FoRNEY.-An order issued
by the State Department forbids the giving
OF any patronage to j. w. Forney, without
designating either OF his papers, here, or in
Philadelphia. $
We find the above in the Washington de-
spatches of the New York Tribune, with its
editorial comment as follows:-
I'VE congratulate the Washington Chroni-
Gle upon the Presidents order directing no
more Government advertising to be printed
in its columns. The printing of Pub. Docs.
was always poor business for newspaper.
andwe like retrenchment even at the expense
OF our friends. We guess the Chronicle can
worry along without Pub. Docs"
Colonel Forney is not the only victim OF
Executive decapitation. The Delauare STATE
Journal and Statesman had the honor TO be
the very first contributor to the Presidential
basket of heads that have been cut off fol
daring TO denounce rum and treason in high
places, and oppose the treachery of Andrew
johnson. Yes, reader, the humble, unas.

cal, unyielding advocate of the Government
and the Union during all the bloody, dark
and doubtful days of war and treason, when
it cost something to be friend of the Union
even that humble sheet, published here In
the Copperhead State of Delaware, has been
the victim of executive dspleasure for hav.
ing dared to tell the truth of Andrew John.
son, and denounce his policy" But we
expect to live on yet little longer without
his patronage, and if unfortunately we
should not be able 10 survive the shock, and
so go down, we will take great pleasure in
sending word to Squire johnson of Ten
