A Good One,

The Greenburg Herald of November 9th,
tells the following story, on one of Andy
johnson appointees in Wessmoreland
county, which is toe good to be lost:
SIN the southern parf Of this COUNTY there
is Den.ocrat holding the position OF ofwhis-
key Inspector under Andy johnson style
of running the Government THAT being to
allow two thirds of the whisky TO escape
paymentof taxi Well, in the performance
of the arciuous and burdensome ~ duties of
his position this Democratic official called
at one OF our first class distil,eries to sin
spec" what was to be inspected. Two
bottles filed with what was presented to
him as Beer ready fef the still. was han
ded him to pass his Judgment on. They
were both pronounced a first-cass article by
him. Now the dis,iller, having no conf
dencc in the Judgment or competency oft this
Democratic official, had filled one of the
BEETLES with ordinary still slop, from the re-
ceptacle of the hog feed. Yet this Demo
crat, who is put there to protect the Gov
ernment S interest, did not detect the cheat,
but pronounced both alike-good beer"

TIE Roman Question,

Elsewhere we publish an account Of the
defeat of Garibaldi's forces, by the Papal
army, and of the capture of Garibaidi and
his sons: besides the greater portion OF the
invading army The defeat OF Garibaldi
puts an end to his efforts at national unity
and liberty at this time, but The Italian com
elication still remains. 1t was evident from
the commencement of this last movement OF
aGaribaldi 5, that be relied mainlyupont the pri-
-vate assurances of the Italian government or
thatthe enthusiasm of the Italian people for
the possession of Rome would force the gov
ernment in concert with his action, that he
undertook the enterprise. But it seems he
was disappointed in his anticipations, for
the government did not voluntarily rush
to his aid nor did the people evince
such intense desire for the consummation of
the much desired end as to bear their rulers
onward against their inclinatinns. What
ever may have been Garibaldi' expectations,
it is now evident that he led forlorn hope,
and that he has signally failed in leading. it
to victory. The sympathy evinced by the
Italian soldiery for the defeated Garibaldi-
ans, upon their arrival at the Italian from
tier, however, shows that the heart of the
nation beat in unison with the enterprise,
and leaves little doubt az to the final ending
of the Italian question; for the government
Of Italy has found it necessary to give the
nation new pledges of its loyalty to the ma
tional C use-and hence, the present expe-
dition to Rome, can scarcely be looked upon
as anything but temporary failure, that
will ultimately lead to Italian freedom and
Italian unity

How the Tribune Managed New York.

how the Tribune managed new orRss
As the Neao York Tribune was so captious
in reference to the management OF Repubh-
can interests in the late Pennsylvania elec-
ton, insisting on the right to find fault de-
preciate and even ridicule the manner In
which the Republicans of the Keystone
State managed their affairs, we5did expect
that the astute scribe who dictates political
actions through its columns would set US
dumb dutch an example in their manage
ment of the New York election which we
might hereafter follow with profit. We
looked to the Tribune to give us great VIC
tory in New Y FORK on the 9TH of November.
1t had pufed itself to its greatest capacity
in egotism as to its influence, and We really
did think that the Tribune might effect
some good. The result in New York is
now before the country The Tribune has
had its full sway. 1t has, by fits and turns,
beloved at Grant, blabbed about New Jer-
sey, hectored New York, dabbled In Mas
sachusetts, talked woman" to Kansas,
and professe1 to have performed wonderful
things IN all the States where the elections
were held on the 9th. We give the IriO-
atne Joy at the wonderful effects of its NEGRO
NANCY Republicans who love the cardinal
truth of their principles, and who were new
er disposed ~ sacrifice those for the ism
WHICH are itOiii IhdoSa
G-eely's brain, can now see now they were
defeated. When the Republican party is
left alone to battle for what it was organized
to secure namely, the safety and honor of
the Government, il has always been victeri-
Gus. But when demag0gues and pseudo
philanthroph have Impiously sought to
WELD its strength for the furtherance of
impracticable projects it has been defeated,
Simply because Republicans viii not be led
against their judgement to favor the vaga-
ries Of any man or set of men.
We have no DISCUSSES for our defeat, nor
apologies to offer for those whom we know
brought it about. Indeed it is better that
our defeat should be exposed in all its na-
ked deformity, that We may profit from Its
lessons. What we must do, aud do quick
ly, is to repudiate she men who waptto car
ry the Republican party in their breeches
pocket. In this way, and by sticking to our
principles, we may repair disaster. 2ar-

The Vice Presidency.

u
On this subject the Pittsburg Gazette says
that many Republican journals are insist
ing, thus early. upon the necessity that ex-
list for the next National Convention to Sc
lect candidate for Vice President in whom
the most uudoubted confidence can be re-
posed. lt stands to reason that no man
will be taken for that position who has not
proved by years Of steady and unfinching
conduct his complete reliability. But it
should be remembered that Mr. JOHNSON
has turned out no worse than some individ-
uals who were trusted TO pre- elnioent de-
gree by the Republican party, and whose
antecedents for more than quarter OF cen
tury justified the trust placed in them. Mr..
JoHNsoN's detection is no more fagrant
than Mr.. SEWARD s.; perhaps il is even
less. With the utmost caution it is posi-
ble to- be deeeived aud cheated Still We
join in the, demand to sift the character
and conduct of all the aspirants whose claims
may be presented. Whatever may betide,
let 1t not be said With accuracy that the Re
pubiicans discarded the gugce4tions of ordi-
nary prudence, and by Their own reckless
ness exposed themselves to fresh disasters
and bumillistions. -
