United States Senator.

AN who have read the Governor Mes
sare. as published in ourpaper OF last week,
could not help bu. discover the bid made by
uhanay. Andy for the Radical VOTE to as
.;st, him to the election of the Office of Uni
te3 States Senator. This bid was made at
too late day, besides it was made in the
face of man who was .unscrupulous and
disposed to IBID higher" than either Cur
TIN or STEVENS. We regard the defeat of
STEVENS as just rebuke to FoRNEY and
his two papers, and a fair indication that the
strength of the Radical party In this State Is
waning. The "hero Of the buck-shot war
IL. enthusiastically, the representative man
of the Radical party in and out of Congress.
We mean more particularly in the lower
House, for when we speak of Congress, 1t
will be remembered, not to the credit OF the
American people, that there is SUMNER la
that body SIMON CAMERON, with all his
corruption, will be better man for the IN
terests Of Pennsylvania, than STEVENS pos
siblv could have been. There is some chance
for CAMERON returning, when once occupy

travelled, quite a number of years, IN his
younger days. He was not oar choice nor
the choice of the great Democratic Party OF
this State for Senator. by any means, but
since he is elected, we hope he viii justly

the last part of his public record IN HE sucn

bic to suppose that, after having received
the abuse he has at the hands OF FoRNEY,
STEVENS. KELLEY & Co., he will act with

thing bad of him that could he said OF any

The Constitution Vindicated.

The late deci.ion Of the Supreme Court of
the United States has caused fury among
the national assassins and Constitution vio-
laters. Thus two of the three attributes Of
the Government have declared that the
Constitution is the supreme law of the land,
and as such must be obeyed by Office holders
as well as citizens. The Executive and the
Judiciary are right once more but the 9TH
eE branch, the Legislative Rump, is still en-
gagged in a grand conspiracy against the
rights and liberties of the people. Their
crusade is as wicked and devilish as that of
Booth, and partakes of more meanness, be-
cause it smacks of cowardice, and while pro-
Tossing to restore peace and harmony among
the States and people, they are perpetrating
national suicide 1t makes no difference who
carries on the conspiracy, whether by the
confederates of Booth or those of Thad.
Stevens, they will surely receive their re-
ward, and that before long burning embers
will soon arrive at a consuming point.
The highest tribunal in this country has
decided that 10. Holt, Gen. Hunter, and
their fellow conspirators, are guilty Of muir
der This is a fact, and the individual that
ever doubted this, knows but little about the
Law of this country. The lynching and muir
der of a fellow creature on the western bor-
ders is no more illegal and criminal than the
murder of Mrs. Surratt bv Holt. Stanton g.

impeachment of the President.

The impeachment of President johnson
by the Radical Disunionists in Congress,
which has been for some time talked Of, has
at last assumed shape and form. Resolu-
tons of impeachment were drawn up and
offered by Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, in the
House on Monday of last week. We dol
believe that this attempt at impeachment
will amount to anything. In our opinion,
It is all ''froth and fury, signifying nothing.
It would be well, however, for the country at
large to be prepared for the designs OF the
bold, bad men who have this matter IN
charge, and if necessary to rise en- n1asse IN
support of the President, who Is to be de-
posed because of his fidelity to the Union
and the Constitution. IF this desperate and
wicked movement is to be carried out, then
it viii be the duty of the people to rally IN
their might, and drive the Jacobins from
their seats IN Congress.
The New York Tribune has very signif-
cant article on the proposed impeachment,
from which we take the following extract:
There is nothing now to be gained by lm-
neachment President johnson has been
bad President, but also foolish one. We
have had Chief Magistrate doing all he
could to destroy the party which elected him,
and at the same time all he could to destroy
himself. IF President johnson has been an
enemy of Republicanism, he has also been
an enemy to himself He did much against
the party; but the elections left nothing of
him. He was left politically dead-scarce-
" worth burial. He was looked upon. as
defeated and disappointed schemer; still,
he had large party at his back. In this
country, the shortest political road IS that
aolsich leads from majority TO a minority.
Our party tcW take ttis road aohe'' 1t rashty
beqins impeachment That can only revive
President Jobnson's dying fortunes, and
give him what he wants-sympathy, and the
chance to make defensive war.

Simon Cameron Triumphant.

The long agony is over, and Simon Came
ron has triumphed. This, too, despite the
presence Of the redoubtable hero of the
''BuckshOt War;" ycleped the 'Old Com
.moner," the untiring opposition of Cover
nor Curtin and the Bribery Investigation
Committee. The nomination was made in
the Radical caucus, last week, on the first
ballot-Cameron receiving IS votes, Curtin
%, Stevens 7, Grow s. The Senator's from
Lancaster County, Messrs Billingfelt and
Fisher, would not participate.
Cameron has, as he always does, played
his cards we'll He has got his rivals for
Senatorial honors, Curtin Stevens, Forney
ane Grow, under his feet, and there he will
be sure to keep them We haven't par
tice of sympathy, however, for these wor-
thies, for they are all i'tarred with the same
stick" and are every bit as corrupt as
Cameron himself. Simon says, thumbs
up, and they are mp, to the sorrow of the
incompatible patriots named.

DIsTILLERIEs. learn that the law
recently enacted by Congress in relation to
distilleries, has gone into effect The law
provides for the appointment of an Inspec-
tor for each distillery, who is to keep the
keys of the establishment and maintain a
constant watch upon all the work done
therein In fact, he runs the machine"
tor the Government IS though "'Uncle Sam
was the real owner thereof, receiving for his
trouble five dollars per day, which is paid
by the distiller. and which makes a serious
inroad upon the profits of the latter. The
system might work well enough if the in
spectors were all incorruptible; but we are
informed that in the State of New York it
has been found to be failure, as the dis
tillers bribe the inspectors, and thus carry
on the boldest kind of fraud with impunity.
La the language of our informant, resi-
dent of New York, '"The Government al
lows the Inspector five dollars day to watch
the distiller, the distiller gives him five dol
lars day more to keep his mouth shut; the
cost is tackled on to the price of the liquor,
and nobody suffers but the consumer, who
viii generally suffer at any rate, if he drinks
much of the stuff" Whether the system
VIII work the same way in this section, re-
mains to be seen.

To DEALERs.-A wise enactment was
passed by the last Legislature, which may
not be generally known. 1t provides that
any person "who shall receive or buy from
minors or unknown or irresponsible parties,
any scrap, brass, lead or metal, shall be SEN
fenced TO pay fine not exceeding FIVE hun
dred dollars, and undergo an imprisonment
of not more than one year, or both, Or
either" This makes it criminal to buy or
receive from such parties, irrespective Of
whether it was stolen or not, and removes
from children the temptation to pilfer.

For the Den,ocrat and ,Star.


a A SISTERS LovE.-Reader, have you
sister? If not, you know nothing of that
true. unabating, self-sacri6cing love, that
flows spontaneously from a sisters heart
you have never felt that pure, unsel6sh,
deep-seated affection that lies beneath that
bosom which, eheaves with sister s love for
the one or ones she is willing to call, yea,
proud to own, as her brother or brothers. =
You may have known what it is to receive
coquettish looks, the fascinating smiles of
firt, or even the affections of true woman;
but sister S love you know nothing about.
But if you do possess that consangulneal
tie, you know something of the true love OF
a woman, that can only arise from an inde-
scribable something within the heart Of
every true woman for the person that is her
brother; causing her to render every atteu-
ton that will comfort and console lit may be-
his troubled heart, and faithfully defending
his reputation against every supposed and
even known disrepute.
Then if sisters love is thus selfsacrifc
ing, and if she is willing to yield almost
every comfort to make her brother more
happy, what ought she not to receive of
him for this kindness? Although she asks
nothing, she has alright to expect and ought
to receive our kindness, our affections, and
many tokens of our respect, confidence, and
love, which she treasures up as remem-
branees of the kindnesses of a person whom
she values beneath none; therefore every
kindness, which is in our power to give,
she richly deserves, and we, as brothers,
ought to be willing, waiting, and even anx-
ious to confer such things as will show that
she has the love which she so highly and
Justly deserves. A BROTHER.

Velocity per Hour.

The speed of our ocean steamers IN
crossing the Atlantic, rarely exceeds
IL miles per hour; .he speed of river
steamers is from II to ~ miles per
hour: Of n race horse from % Go 30; of
bird 80 to 60, of high wind 20, and
of n hurricane so miles; of sound S0i
Of mechanical force in air $50; of the
earth around the sun GS,000; of light,
as demonstrated by Foucaults APP
paratus, G9O,000,000 miles, and yet
this inconcoivable speed is little more
than half the velocity of static electri-
city, which latter, Wboatstone has
shown to be 1,0l0,000,000 miles an
hour.
If the earth were a cannon ball, shot
at the sun from its present distance,
and with the velocity it now travels,
and if simultaneous with the explosion,
a telegram was sent to the solar in
labitants, the electricity would pass
the intervening space Of 95,OOO,OOO
miles, and the message be received IN
five minutes; the earth would be seen
coming toward them after the lapse of
eight minutes; the inhabitants would
have nearly two months TO prepare for
the shock, which would be received
over ten years before they heard the
explosion.

Day A suit was recently tried in the
Supreme Court at Lockport, Judge
Davis presiding, in which the New
York Central Railroad Company were
defendants. The testimony was closed
and the Judge charged the Jury as
to the law and the fact He intimated
to them as plainly as he possibly could,
without positive instructions to that
effect, that verdict should be render
ed i'll favor of the defendants. The
jury went out, and after consultation
returned verdict of heavy damages
against the road The Buffalo En-
press says this took everybody by
surprise, and nobody was more aston
ished than the Judge. Before he
could recover himself, however, the
counsel for the defendant, who is Q
good deal Of a wag, stepped up quiet
ly to the Judges bench, and whisper
ed, not in the most subdued voice
either, " say, Judge, they beat you
didn't they, ell ?"
