Our Pennsylvania Sena .ors.

The Tariff bill has at length passed the
Senate, by vote of 27 yeas to 10 nays.
There were absent, or did not vote, fifteen
members; and among the latter were the
two Pennsylvania Senators, Buckalew and
Cowan. These members represent a
State in which protection to American
industry has always been cardinal prin-
ciple, and which in old times was carried
by the votes of the people whenever the
tariff was a matter in contest between
parties. The present bill is most favor,
able to the great Pennsylvania interests,
iron and coal, and in other respects it is
intended to protect the American manu-
facturer against foreign competition. 1t
was, therefore, the duty of Messrs. Buck
alew and Cowan, by every sentiment OF
duty to the people Of this State, to vote
for the Tariff bill; but instead of doing
that, they lodged the question, and their
voices are not heard upon the most i'm
portant measure to Pennsylvania which
can come before Congress. Contrast this
shameful disregard of duty with the ac
tion of Senators from other States, and
we have cause for shame.
Take, for instance, the conduct oi
Messrs. Cattell and Frelinghuysen, OF
New Jersey, and compare it with that Of
Buckalew and Cowan, and we have occa
sion for real modification. New Jersey
has no interest whatever in coal, and but
4 small one in iron in comparison to
Pennsylvania, aud yet we find her Sena
tors nobly standing up for the working
men of the country, and advocating those
measures which must rebound TO the
benefit of industry throughout the land
They are better Senators to-day for the
in terests of Pennsylvania than her own
representatives. The latter are unfaith-
ful to every instinct of State duty, and
they are friends really Of the foreign
manufacturer and the free trader. 1t is
a happy thought that in four weeks we
will get rid of Cowan, who has never
been faithful to his constituents from the
hour of his election. As for Buckalew
be must feel that he neither represents
the political, social or industrial interests
of the State, and if he had the least re-
spect for his character he would resign
from an Office which he knows that he
does not faithfully discharge.-PhiladeI-
phtd Inquirer.

Where Counterfeiting is Done.

A good deal of counterfeitinS was exc
cuted, some time ago, in the vicinity of
Philadelphia, but the principal manufac-
tories of forged bank notes have been
broken up, in consequence of the great
exertions of the United States District
Attorney directing the detective sagacity
of the police. To New York and New
England the leading Philadelphia "artists"
In this line appear to have emigrated,
swelling the army Of engravers who mis-
apply their manual skill in those locai-
ties. 1t is believed that Long Island is
the favorite place where what may be
called wholesale counterfeiting is chiefly
carried on but there are some of these
establishments in Massachusetts and Con
necticut.

The Pope of Rome, the head Of the
Catholic church throughout the world
has issued decree forbidding worship ac
cording to the Protestant forms within
his temporal dominions. The American
Protestant chapel, which has been sup
ported by our countrymen who desire to
worship according to the dictates of their
own consciences, has been clesed, and its
further use interdicted The result il
that our Government now proposes to
withdraw from all diplomatic intercourse
with the Papal establishment, which will
not permit our citizens to exercise their
inborn right to religious liberty.

The Fstrau Law.

We are often asked what is the law In
regard to stray cattle, sheep, &c. 1t Isl
briefly as follows: Itis made the duty
of all persons having strays in their pos
session, within four days to deliver to
the town clerk particular description of
the color and mark, natural or artificial,
of each stray or strays, in writing or other
satisfactory way, and for every neglect or
refusal to do the same" he shall be liza
BILE to forfeit and pay the sum of FIVE dol
lars-"and it shall be the duty of the
town clerk, subject to like penalty for ne
glect or refusal, to make entry of the same
in his book, for which he shall receive on
each head of horses so cents, each head
of cattle % cents, and for every sheep 6
cents, to be paid By such persons deliver
ing the said notice aforesaid" If the
owner presents himself within 80 days af
ter said stray has been thus registered on
the book Of the town clerk, he is entitled
to receive his property on the payment
of the costs, the keeping and the damage
that may have occurred. After the ex-
piration of 30 days, if no owner presents
himself, the person taking up the stray
shall cause an advertisement particularly
describing such stray, to be publishsd in
at least one newspaper in the county
and if no owner shall appear and make
out his property in said stray within 9(
days after the publication of said adver
tisement, the person taking up the same
shall apply to Justice of the Peace. in
the same township, who is required to is
sue his warrant to Constable, who, aftel
giving 10 days notice, is required to sci
the same-the money for which is to b.
paid into the hands Of the Justice of the
Peace, who is to pay all reasonable char
ges for the cost of keeping, registering
selling, &C., and the balance, if there be
any paid into the county Treasury.

The National Republican, johnson
paper published at Washington, dennes
the statement lately made, claiming to be
by authority, to the effect that the Presi-
dent would maintain his present position
against Congress by armed force, if ne
cessary. 1t says that it has the highest au-
thority for asserting that the article al
luded to, which has attracted so much at
tentlon all over the country, was not au-
thorized or sanctioned .by the President
If this disavowal be made in good faith,
as we suppose, it has taken Mr. johnson
just one week to decide whether he would
be president or King"

Some time ago, when President John
son commenced removing Republicans
from Office because "they would not bow
down and worship the image he had set
up" the Conservatives were delighted
with the doctrine and discipline of "rota-
ton" Since the Senate, in the exercise
of its just authority, has begun to send
the sycophants on their wanderings, the
Conservatives have lost all relish for "ro
tation." They regard it as chief abomina-
tion of these times.

REASONS WHY THE

IL is made on the best principle. Its frame is
posed of SOLID PLATES. NO jar can interfere With
the harmony of Its working and no sudden shock can
damage Its machinery. Every piece is made and fin
shed by machinery itself famous for Its novelty, as
we'll as for its eectiveness) and therefore properly
made. The watch is what all mechanism should be

CAL Except some high grades, too costly for gener-
al use, foreign watches chiefly made by women

Texan in the service of the United States.
The Captain subsequently fed to Mexico.
Chiffon, learning of his retreat, crossed
the Rio Grande, kidnapped Montgomery,
took him back across the river hung him,
cut off his arms, and sent the mutilated
remains to the town where the Captain
had formerly resided, as was said, to show
the fate Of traitors. For this Chilton's re-
