fred the hearts of our people, and thous-
ands were rallying to the defense of our
insulted flag, Mr.. Clymer caused to be en-
tered upon the journals of the Senate his
solemn protest aeains, the bill for arming
the State.
"In 1867, when reverses had overtaken
our armies, anG our credit was strained
to the utmost to keep men in tie field,
Mr.. Ciymer voted against the joint reso-
luton providing for the collection of the
taxes levied by the United States.
"In 1868 Mr.. Clymer voted against the
bill to enable our soldiers and sailors to
vote, when absent in the service.
''In 1864 he lodged the vote on the
proposed constitutional amendment allow
ing the soldiers in the felo the right to
vote, and after said amendment had passed
be voted against the bill to carry it into
effect.
''He voted against the bill to define and
punish offenses of reasonable character
and against the bill to legalize the pay
ment of bounties to volunteers.
''In February, 1864, in speech in the
Senate, referring to the recent defeat of
Vallardigham in Ohio, and of Woodw ward
in Pennsylvania, Mr.. Clymer said /: L
say now and believe that it was the great
est calamity that has yet befallen this
country that those two men were not
elected"

The LOyaIists' Convention.

About six hundred delegates represent
ing the steadfastly loyal population of the
South met in Philadelphia on Monday,
the Sd inst, and were welcomed by the
people with unbounded enthusiasm. In
the morning, after assembling in the halls
of the Union Club on Chestnut street,
they formed in line and marched amid
terrific applause to join the delegates
from the Northern States. The rest of the
morning was devoted to exchanging con-
gratulations with the people and receiving
their tenders of welcome. This over, the
delegates from the South assembled at
National Hall for the purpose Of begin
ming their deliberations. Col. Stokes, of
Tennessee, called the Convention TO order,
and read the call, after which, prayer was
offered by the Rev. j. W. Jackson. a
temporary organization was then effected
by the election o. Thos. ]. Durant, of
Louisiana, as Chairman. The gavel which
raped the Convention to order is the
same as was used in controlling the Con-
venlion by which South Carolina was
plunged into rebellion. On Monday, the
Hon. James Speed, of Kentucky, and
lately of Mr.. Johnsun's Cabinet, was
elected permanent President The North
ern delegates formed an organization dis
tinct from that of the delegates from the
South.
An address was framed ahd adopted by
the Southern convention, impeaching
President johnson and his policy, some
thing after the manner of the Declaration
of Independence. A series of resolutions
were also adopted denouncing the Presl-
Dental policy of reconstruction and up
holding that of Congress. The utmost
freedom of debate was allowed throughout
the entire proceedings.

The Elections.
VERMONT.

VERMONT.
Vermont elected he: Governor on Mon
day, the Sd inst. The returns show an
overwhelming triumph for the restoration
policy of Congress Last year the major
ity for Gov. Dillingham; was less than
10000. On Tuesday he was reelected
by majority of perhaps $4,000. The
State Senate is unanimously Union Re-
publican, and :he House nearly SO.
MAINE.
Maine voted for Governor and mem
bers of Congress on Monday. The result
was a glorious Union victory.

plcte triumph Of the Union ticket.

The New Orleans Massacre.

The military commission organized to
investigate the late atrocious massacre at
New Orleans have finished their report
and handed it to Gen Sheridan. The re-
port shows that the massacre was DR. econ
certed and pre-arranged by Mayor Monroe
and others, and the members of the fire
department. and the different sections of
the rebel military organizations existing
in the city appeared at given signal to
assist the police IN numbering unarm ed
and defenceless Union men.
In regard to the composition of the rebel
grand Jury which reported the riot as
caused by the blacks, the following facts
were elected: That the jury box should
be filed with names from the registry of
voters. From these names one hundred
and twenty-five are drawn, from which
the Sheriff and Clerk of the Criminal
Court shalT select sixteen under the di-
rect:on of the Judge as Grand Jurors
On the registry there are nearly as many
names of Union men as Confederates, but,
notwithstanding: every one of the jury
selected were notorious rebels, with a
rebel Colonel as foreman. One is a mem
Der of the Legislature, and is therefore
exempt. Two or three were members of
the last Grand Jury, therefore their names
could not lawfully be in the jury box at
this time, while two others were not reg
istered voters, and therefore legally inca
pacltated from serving on Grand Jury.

Congressional.

On Thursday last, the adjourned meet
ing Of the Democratic Congressional
Conference of this district was held in
Tyrone. Upon the first ballot, r. L.
Johnston, Esq, of Ebensburg, received
the nomination by unanimous vote of
the twelve conferees present, Mr.. j. is
we'll known to the people of the district.
Two years ago, he was the candidate of
the opposition for the same Office, and
made gallant fight, but was defeated
still, be is, beyond question, the strongest
man that party could put in the field
His intellectual and social qualifications
are o: an order to fit him for any position
in the gift of the people, but his political
antecedeuts impose load upon him which,
we opine, no man can successfully carry.

EVEN the n. Y. Times, the great "my
policy organ; has become disgusted with
the Presidents senseless stump speeches
in his Western tour. Speaking of his
Cleveland harangue, that paper says -
"Tbe President of the United States can
not enter upon an exchange of erithets
with the brawlers of mob, without seri-
ously promising his official character
and hazardirg interests too momentous to
be thus lightly imperiled. * Thou
sands and rens of thousands, whose judg-
mcnts assent to the principles which the
President represents, are startled and be-
wildered by the manner in which he ad-
7ocates them. 1t is a great mis-
take on the part of the President to
assume or suppose that the great body of
the people in the North who dissent from
his views, are enemies of the Union or arc
seeking consciously to destroy it."

Pennsylvania-Clvmer,

We do not often have chance, says the
New York Tribune, to praise the Democrat
ic pan ty of Pennsylvania, but we never leave
one unlmproved; and We are now enabled to
crafty our natural inclination with good
conscience. Their nomination of Hester
Ciymer for Governor Is one that it was en-
inently fit that they should make For, in
the first place, he is good citizen, of very
fair abilities, and reputable character. Next,
he lives in Berks county, which has gener-
ally given large Democratic majorities, and
has repeatedly tried to have Governor, but
has not succeeded; and it is but Just to give
her another chance, Then he was Whig
of other days; and it is but fair that the
party which has furnished to the present
Democracy of Pennsylvania so large share
of Its brains should occasionally have the
post of honor; and it shows proper liber-
ality in the "birthright menbers'' to accord
it. But, lastly, and mainly, Mr.. Clymer
was an unmitigated, unqualified Copperhead
throug hout the war, aud did not pretend to
be anything else. He supported the decis-
ion of the Democratic majority of the Su-
preme Court of Pennsylvania which pro-
nounced null and void the act of Congress
providing for the enrolment and calling out
of the national forces"-a decision which,
had it not been overruled, would have laid
the republic PROSTATE at the feet Of the re-
bellion, and effected the dissolution of the
Union. We do not know that he ever af.
fected to desire the triumph of the Nation
al arms-we do know that all his Public acts
and utterances tended to secure the success
Of the rebels Mr.. Clymer was in all things
in perfect accord with nine-tenths of his
party, is their proper representative, and
viii poll their full vote. There is no cheat
in his nomination, which makes a square,
clear issue. L he gets beaten. it will be
because the people are not'Of his school,
but believe in unfolding the Union. =

Why so MUCH BEAUTY IN POLAND Be
cause says Bayard Taylor, there, girls
DO not jump from infancy to lady hood.
They are not sent from the cradle to the
parior to dress, to sit still and look pretty.
No, they are treated as children should be,
During childhood, which extends through a
period of several years, they are plainly and
loosely dressed, and allowed to run, romp,
and play in the open air. They are not
loaded down, girded about and oppressed
every way with countless frills and super
abundant founces SO as to be admired for
their clothing. Nor are they rendered deli
cate or dyspeptic by continual stuffing with
candies and sweet cakes, as are the majori-
ty of American children. Plain, simple
food, free and various exercise, and an abun-
dance of sunshine during the whole period
of childhood are the secrets of beauty in
after life. -

English Coal Fields.

1t is positively asserted by competent ge-
ologists that the supply of coal in England
is already in process of rapid exhaustion.
According to measurements, and under
ground explorations down as deep as four
Thousand feet below the surface of the earth,
only eighty millions of tons remain. This
amount of coal was consumed in 1860.
The consumption Of the mineral increases,
we are told at the rate OF three and half
per cent, per annum. Mines could not be
worked at all at the depth of 1000 feet.
in less than thousand years. Our coal
fields are l94, 900 square miles in area. 1t
must be said, however, that the probabili
ties are that when coal is used up in Eng
land, science will have discovered a substi-
tute that will answer for the uses of manu-
featuring industry and commercial inter
course.

How beautiful he lies
With pouting rose bud lip
And half closed eyes.
While through their jetty fringe
You catch gleam
Blue as the skies.
Above his silken head
0ne-dimpled hand
Is bravely thrown,
The other on his breast
Is doubled as to meet
The world alone.
The darling little one,
To my fond heart
Thou art so dear
A music strain on earth
A flower of beauteous birth
My path to cheer.
But what's to come to thee,
And what wilt thou bring me,
Pleasure or pain
Baby, thy way is long,
Darling the waves are strong,
And wild the main.
Temptations must be thine,
Stern wrestlings with thy kind,
Boy, thou must meet.
Gvd shield thee in that hour,
From every evil power
Heaven guard thy feet.
Father above TO Thee,
To Thee l bend the knee
Thy aid implore:
My boy to Thee [ bring,
Take him beneath Thy wing,
L ask no more.
