CONGRESS-

A CAUTIoY-The paper started by 7. s. Lowe ex-
Governor Packer and others of the Copperhead fra
telnity, asking l.. A. Mackey to become candidate
for Congress- is designed to have Mr.. Mackey run
AGAINST the regular Republican Candidate Mr..
iii that trap, and no Republican should aid their enc
mics by signing such a document as that now in cir
culation by the Copperheads in this city and else
where.-[We Branch Bulletin.
This manifold movement has been on foot
quite long enough, We have verbally eau
toned the few republican friends of Mackey in
this place, connected with it, against giving any
countenance to the effort to distract our party
by the introduction of his name lat this time into
our canvass for Congressman. Some of them,
we have reason to believe, have tlken our ad-
wise, and are no longer identified with the
movement. Others, not more than a half dozen
in number, whose motives are clearly under
stood, with degree of folly which nothing but
an insane greed of Office can account for, are
still pressing it. If their efforts were open and
honorable we should have nothing to say; but
they have seen proper to prosecute their work
outside of the town with secrecy and, it must be
with lying and deceitful speech. Under such
circumstances we cannot remain silent without
dong violence to our sense of duty to our party
and the sacred cause which it has in keeping.
For obvious reasons the movement was not
begun in Clinton county. Prominent RepubG-
cans,who were supposed to entertain unfrIendly
sentiments towards Mr.. Wilson personally for
his course in the distribution of the Federal
patronage in Centre and Potter counties, were
applied to aid in securing the Republican nom
ination for Mr., Mackey in these counties. It
was believed that by representing him as a
sound and reliable Republican there would be
no difficulty in obtaining for him the endorse
ment OF the two counties named, and no doubt
seemed to be entertained that hisindividual pop
ularlty and influence in this county,would over
bear any prudential or patriotic considerations
that might exist to oppose his nomination by
our Convention

Mackey to become candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination was first made in the Central
Press of Belefonte. A little investigation soon
convinced US that this-though ostensibly
movement of Republicans-was simply an in
genious snare laid by our opponents to divide
and if possible, defeat our party at the coming
election for Congressman.
1t was believed by these ntrguers that III
oga would yield to no compromise, but would
insist upon the denomination of Mr.. Wilson,and
would support no one else at the polls and if
Mr.. Mackey could only get the conferees of
the three counties mentioned he would be NOM
mated on the first ballot, and thus a split in the
Republican party would be occaSloued that
could not be healed, and which would defeat
both Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Mackey, and return a
Copperhead to Congress. This was the design
of the Copperheads who projected the move
ment, though we do not charge the Republicans
engaged in it with any completely or sympathy
with this its designed ultimate effect. They,
perhaps good,easy men, thought they were act
ing in perfect good faith with their party, and
were only going to obtain republican victory
where they believed none could be otherwise
obtained Whatever might be the precise re-
suit Of the effort to give Mr. Mackey the Re-
publ can nomination, the effect, it was thought
would be to divide our party and relieve Mr..
Wilson, or whomsoever the choice of that party
might De OF the requisite numOef OF votes 10
elect the Copperheed candidate.
As for the action presupposed of Tioga county
by these Copperhead man9uyres we think
there was not the least ground for the aSsump-
ton. That county, like all others in the DIS
trct will stand by the nominee of the party
when fairly presented.
The Republicans of the district are III earnest
in their political faith. and they will yield to no
schemes of selfish politicians to divert them
from the support of such measures as they be-
lieve to be right or of such men as they know
to stand squarely and aYowedly on their plat
form of principles.
For the information of our friends in the
country, we would say that this effort to bring
out man in opposition to Mr. Wilson, is not
approved by a single prominent undsguised
friend of the Congressional policy in this boro'
Two or three individuals, who call themselves
Republicans, but who are believed to be ready
to sell themselves to Mr.. Johnson or any body
else for office, are the sole managers of the
movement.
The one supreme desire of all the Republi-
cans with whom We have conversed on the sub
ject of the Congressional nomination, is that
without dissent there should be a cordial en-
dorsement of the Congressional scheme of re-
construction. To this scheme Mr. Wilson has
given uniform and unwavering support,and his
denomination and election would be the most
emphatic method of sgnfying our approval of
the action of Congress. Clinton Republican,

FROM SERF TO NoBIE.-SaTS foreign letter:
Of al! the romantic stories in the Arabian Nights,
there is none more extraordinary than the little
episode that has just occurred at St Petersburg.
You will have noticed that an attempt was mace
to shoot the Emperor, which was frustrated by
the prompt action of a Young man who stced
near the would-be assassin. That yeung man,
acting from a monetary impulse in striking
down the arm be slw raised against his sovereign,
was afterwards so frightened at his own rashness
that he ran away as fast as his legs could carry
him. He was pursued and brought back to the
presence Of the Emperor, at whose feet he thrcw
himself in state Of abiect terror, as if he haa
been the assassin himself The Emperor raised
him, embraced and kissed him, and proclaimed
him Russian noble from that hour. The ro-
nance Of the st2ry is this: The new Russian
noble, only five minutes before was q poor Hitter
ate drudge in snail in St. Petersburg
\ week ago his habits and daily occupation were
of the most vulgar and mcnial character. To-day
he ranks with the most ancient nobility OF the
empire. A subscription was at orce seton toeS
to provide him with means to sustain his new
dignity, and presents are flowing IN upon him
from every direction. His photographs displayed
in every shop window, prayers are said Tor MIN
in ali the churches, and retinue Of tic tRars
