UNION REpuBL1cAN STATE TICKET.
Resignation of Senator Clylner.

The Hon. Hester Clymer, in his letter to
the Speaker of the Senate said that che
intended to resign the Senatorship immedi-
ateiy upon his nomination for Governor,
but on examination of the electionl avs he
found thatif resignation takes place at
any time before the last fifteen days of the
session, it would be the duty of the Speak
sr to issue his visit for special election, -
and hence he deferred his resignation ito the
S0th, SO that, under the joint resolution FIX
ing the final adjournment of the Legislature
on the II OF Aprilth, no special election will
be necessary to fill the vacancy occasioned
thereby" The Reading Journal, however,
seens to think that such was not Mr.. Cly-
mer's true object in resigning. The Journal
ays:
That Senator Clymer resigned because
he was afraid to meet the questions that
we're daily coming up in the Senate, is evil
dent from the fact that he lodged every
vote of Importance in that body after his
nomination for Governor But there was
no occasion for the Senator to back out on
that score. His record was ALREADY about

feat at the hands of the Union people of the
Commonwealth. His voice and his vote
has always been with and for the Copper
head party from the commencement of the
war TO its close. He opposed the war; dis
eouraged volunteering secuted at emanci
patton; denounced the draft, or ''eonscrip-
tion' law as he called it; and .opposed:every
measure calculated to secure the success of
the Union army. Four years ago, in stump

pie Of this State have forgotten his course

Tsuneseean on Reconstruction.

a Tsnneseean on heconstructlon.
Col. Stokes, one of the members of Con-
gress elected from Tennessee, in speech
delivered at Fairhaven, Connecticut, on
March oath, ably defended the action of
Congress on Reconstruction, and among
other things said
'sBut it is said a.radical Congress will not
admit Union men of the South. am one
of those men, and an applicant for seat in
Congress. believe when the proper time
comes Congress will do its duty in regard to
Tennessee and any other State that takes
the same position Why is it not done now
We have Rad war for four or five years.
You cannot expect Congress to heal all
these differences in few days. 1t was their
duty to examine the condition of the Gov
ernments of those States, to examine their
constitutions and laws, and when their loyal
government Is properly establish to recog-
nize it, and then one point is settled. At
ter that comes the question as to the quail
fication of members. Congress had right
to prescribe test OATH and | say here that

until the Southern people and their papers

A CANADIAN " EAPoN OF DEFENSE
The Hamilton. G. w, Times says that one
of the house guard of that city reported him
self at headquarters during the late Fenian
excitement, armed with bludgeon about
two feet long, and about three inches in di-
ameter at one end, tapering gradually down
to the other, until it was small enough to
grasp with ease The heavy end was furn-
ished with six rows of iron spikes, project
ing about one and half inches, and FIVE in
row, about one inch apart The ef-hand
coat pocket of the owner of this formidable
weapon was filled with mixture of cayenne
pepper and salt, in equal proportions
the use of which will be better explained by
his own answer to the question, when ad
dressed by the captain of the guard. Pre-
senting this huge bludgeon before the aston
ished eyes of his officer, while his left hand
dived into his capacious coat pocket and
brought up a hand full of the mixture, he
said: when meets Finnigan, fust dis
pepper, den dis comb. -

In one of Brigham Young's sermon ,
he said. ''The man that sells liquor, anu
thinks to escape damnation, fools himself. !"
He has, however, changed his sentiments
on this subject, and has determined to save
the whole class of liquor venders from their
hard fate by taking the damnation upon
himself alone. He has forbidden all to sell,
and has opened bar himself, the only one
in Salt Lake City. He claims and exercises
the sole right to sell liquor by wholesale or
retail.

however, the smoked hams of Germany to
come into the market While the scourge of
this animalcule is still on us comes the re-
port that the bees are being suddenly strick

to this matter have thought the hives were
decimated by the bees suck ing from poison

croscope examination of NJ Duchelpin dis
sipates this view, for among the dead bees

is the cause of the distress among the bees
