Col. ID. B. McCrcary, now orc Of
the members of the Assembly from
Erie, has been rendered tho post Of
Adjutant General, by Gov. Geary.
The web-footcd water foul who pre-
sides over the columns of the Press,
has lately fallen ''muchly" in love with
General Jackson. II is not often that
deceased statesmen aud dead ducks
get mixed up so.
Gen. John w. Geary was, on Tues
day last, naugurated Governor ofthis
State. II the assemblage at Harris
burg was as gigantic as the published
programme, it must have been n
mammoth affair.
A few years ago loyalists rang in
our ears the siren story OF Curtin
and no draft but now it has been
changed to no Curtin and con-
stant draught. Theformer was =
myth, the latter isl reality.
The hero of Big Hothcl, Fort Fisher,
etc, is now in Washington, Urging on
the impeachment of the President
Had the beast been hnng-over the
Dutch Gap COnal-the true Union
element of the country would not now
be disturbed by his nasty presence.
The first session ofthe United States
District Court, for the northern dis
trict of Pennsylvania, was held at
Erie, last week, Judge McCandless
presiding. The Erins are very much
elated at this new feature in political
affairs.
Although there was good tracking
snow, and hundreds of Injuns had
gathered around the State Capitol, on
Tuesday last, not a moccasin track
could be found, so adroitly had the
old chief covered them up-in per-
feet cat style.
The Harrisburg Telegraph, on the
day Thad and Jack Forney entered
the State Capital, hunting honest men,
exclaimed: "Sball the majority of our
party rule 7" If it does, it will be a
different rule from that applied out
side of the party.
The Missouri Legislature refused to
repeal the test oath required of cler-
gymcn and teachers in that State, and
passed a resolution looking TO the i'm
peachment of those Judges who arc
slack in enforcing the law upon this
point. Can the heather do worse
The New York Post, Advertiser and
Times three Radical sheets - are
Greatly fearful that the Democratic
party may be made successful by the
folly of the Republicans in Congress"
These journals sorm 10 sev the hand
writing on the wal, and are placing a
proper Interpretation upon it.
The man for whom not even n town.
ship or borough had instructed, has
been elected Unitel States Senator
while the "soldiors friend" and the
"great Commoner,' for whom every
member of the Legislature had been
instructed, have been defeated. This
is horrible.
Gov Morton, of Indiana, has been
elected United States Senator from
that State by the Bumpers. lie is
noted for two things: he is an cnthu
siastic admirer Of 10 Holt Courts, and
Furnishes more Indiana corn-whislzy
in twenty-four hours, than any two
mon in the State.
The loyalists in Kansas have pre-
scnted no less than fifteen candidates
for United States Senator. The law
passed by the Washington Rump, dis
franchising those guilty of high crimes
makes three iourths of them ineligi
BILE, as they arc nearly all old Kansas
jayhawkcrs, guilty ofevery crime from
murder down.
Charles ID. Drake, Esq, the newly
elected United States Senator from
Missouri, is a fowl of the Forncy stripe
and was the chiei framcr of the odioui
State Constitution, test oaths and all
now in force in that State. Wher
this Drake gets in company with th,
Duck in the Senate Chamber, ther,
will be a pair of nice young buckles.
The impeachment seally-wags have
been driving a fast team in Washing
ton during the past week, but they
have not past the city limits. W,
f fear their nags will get foundered-i
no worse disease ovortakes them-be

r imitator of Burke will find himself oil
his bottom before he gets to tn,
Judges stand.
