"The A Amendments"

The North has pronounced for TINS
amendment with such a degree of una
nimity, that we can see no hope for the
settlement of our political troubles,
and the admission of the South to the
right of representation in Congress, but
in its adoption.-N. Y. Times.
The Times is mistaken. One election
does not finally settleaq question in this
country. A decision at the polls Is not
irrevocable, but granting it, we do not
think that the late elections prove that
the majority of the Northern people
favor the constitutional amendment;
they do not prove that that demand
may not be recOnsidered. Its not just
to enact an eC post .fdctO law. 1t is not
Just to invite a people TO ostracize their
leading citizens. 1t is not Just to pre-
scribe precedent conditions to the eXer-
else of rights conferred by the Consti-
tuition, and if the Southern people de-
cline to acquieSce in any such injustice,
and IN AXE another appeal to the sense
of fair dealing of the North, it does
not follow that the latter will con-
tinue to do injustice in the future be-
cause they have been betrayed into it
in the past.
The unanimity of which the Times
speaks amounts to this : that in poll
of six hundred thousand votes in Penn
sylvania, for instance, the Radicals
have a majority of 1900. Now, every
sensible man knows that the election
was not carried in Pennsylvania or
elsewhere by fair argument of the
constitutional amendment, but by an
incessant exasperating appeal to the
passions. The bloody horrors of the
late war were recalled. The costly
preparations and vast expenditures OF
the contest were dwelt upon, with ev-
cry magnifying detail, except that OF
the gigantic sWindling of political con-
tractors. The dark crime of treason
was painted in its blaCkest, most re-
voting cOlOrS. The loss of fathers and
sons, and brothers and husbands, was
aggravated by passionate rhetoric and
vindictive phrases. The mournful
memories of the hospital, the sad trag-
edies of the prison, were set forth with
every narrowing detail of sorrow and
agony. The detiantlanguageOf abold,
high spirited foe, nerved to despera-
ton, uttered throughout the contest,
was reproduced in every variety of
provoking presentation, and the spirit
Of these same people when they laid
down their arms, was grossly and per-
sistently represented as one Of insolent
demand. But the American people
are incapable of continued injustice.
They will respond to the claims of fair
ness and constitutional rights. The
Radicals may rejoice in their brief hour
of triumph, but the reaction Of cOnSer-
vative patriotism and of catholic ma
tionality will ere long assert itself and
the South be restored to its WOnted
place in the national legislature.-Nd-

THE METEoRs.-Prof. Loomis, OF
Yale College, has written a letter, in
which he makes out that the stars did
not make so complete a ffasco on the
18th and 14th instant as has been sup
posed. On Tuesday morning six hun
dred and ninety-six shooting stars
were counted in five hours, and on
Wednesday morning eight hundred
and eighty-one were counted. To be
sure, most of them were invisible to
the naked eye, butstil they were from
six to seven times more numerous than
on ordinary nights. Prof. Loomis con-
cludes, however, that it was not much
OF a shower after all.

! Correspondence Of the Bedford Gazette.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 26, 1866.
Mr.. EDITOR Your correspondent,
after a silence perhaps too long protrac-
ted, has concluded once more to furnish
you with Il few items from the State
Capital. Quite a sensation was produ-
ced here among the Mongrel politi-
clans, few days ago, by the announce
ment that Gen. Hartranft had resigned
the Auditor -GeneraIship to take a Col
Onelcy in the regular army, to which,
it was said, the President had appoint
ed him. 1t seemed strange that 50
high-toned a patriot as Hartranft would
stoOp so low as to accept an appoint
ment at the hands of the infamous au-
thor of "My Policy" and the upshot
has proved that runor had done the
gallant General injustice, for, it seems,
he has not resigned at all, but intends
to hold on to his position "on the hill. -
There are those who still say lenvi0us
and malicious ones that the General
had advanced his pickets toward Wash
ington, with the intention of laying
siege to the White House, but not feel
ing sure of his base, and fearing that
some other eager patriot might occupy
his fortifcation at Harrisburg, should
he evacuate, he concluded to fall back
upon that position and hold it to the
last. Brave man! How could the
State do without him?
Our newly elected (?) Governor, he
of the "no prefix" is in great tribula-
tiOn just about this time, in regard to
his appointment of Cabinet Officers. A
number of "loyal" men are willing to
serve as Attorney General, Secretary of
the Commonwealth, &C., dc. In fact
their willingness to sacrifice themselves
in this way, is pressed SO unremitting
ly upon the Governors attention, that
he is in quite a quandary as to how he
will succeed in rewarding their disin-
terested patriotism. There's Frank.
Jordan, of your town, would like to be
Attorney General; but John Scott, of

SUDDEN DEATH.-On Wednesday
morning last, a man by the name of
Peter Frey, residing in South Duke
St, in this borough, was found dead in
his bed. He retired on Tuesday eve
ming in apparent good health. When
Mrs. +. awoke inthe morning she found
him quite dead. Coroner S. j. Rouse

HANDSOME GAINs.-Although the
Democracy of this State, during the
past six years, had to encounter Satan
and his agents, in the shape of war,
provost marshals, sncaks, spies, inter-
nal and external foes, forts, prisons and
even death, they have, after overcom-
ing all this opposition, increased their
vote from 100000 to 90,000-just co.
900; while our enemies, with all these
elements to favor them, have increased
from $4,000 to 307, ,000-or only about
$4,000 If Democrats grow in this
manner while the soil is titled by our
enemies and in time of war, what is
there to prevent an increase Of hun
dred fold in time of peace? The Dem
ocratic party dead! No, stree. 1t

Financial Crisis In England.

The financial news by the steamer
Cuba, which arrived at Halifax yester-
day, with Queenstown dates to the 18th
instant, is of great Importance.
A panic had seized the London
money market, prevailing equally on
Thursday and Friday, the 10th and
llth. Universal CONSERVATION and dis
trust were felt The alarm was more
general than at any time since the mem
orably disastrous year of 1925. Many
failures are reported; among them those
of Peto & Belts, the head of the firm
being the well known railway capitalist,
who recently visited this country;
Overland, and the Consolidated Dis
count Company. There were runs on
many other banking houses. The Gov
ernment authorized the Bank of Eng
land TO issue FIVE million pounds of ad-
ditional notes. The rate of discount
was raised by the Bank to nine, and
subsequently TO ten per cent, and the
greatest discrimination was made, only
special applications being favorably
considered. There was a decline in
cotton of from I'D 70 Id pound. Five.
twenties fell four aud half per cent,
closing at last advices at 64S65. with
nothing doing.
On Saturday. the 18th, the excite
cent was somewhat allsysd, and more
confidence was exhibited. The Paris

S The President last week We.
teed the Senate bill, admitting the
Territory OF Colorado into the Union
as 3 State. The veto-message sets
forth the several grounds upon which
lh- President bsses his action, but
its length will not admit OF our giving
it in full. The President considers,
that territorial form of government
will better meet the wants and inter
ests of the people Of Colorado, for
the present at least, than State gov
ernment. He also slludes TO the fact,
that the population Of Colorado is
very small, and that it is hardly just
to give her an equal position in the
Senate of the United States with
States like New York and Ohio, :he
population of Colorado not being
over 5000, and by some placed as
low as $4,000. He also thinks it un
wise to admit new States, while elev-
en- old States Of the Union are still
kept out Of Congress, referring to
the States lately in rebellion. No
aetien Was taken by the Senate apon
the message, but the question was
laid over for future consideration.
1t is not anticipated that the bill can
be passed over the veto, as quite
number of prominent Republican
Senators are reported as being in
favor of sustaining the veto.
