Governor Geary's Inaugural Message.

The following is an abstract of Govern
or Geary's inaugural address: .
He refers t. the close of the rebellion,
and pays a tribute to the part borne by
Pennsylvania in contributing 355 226 vol
unteers TO our armies and to the generOsi-
ty of the people towards the survivors and
towards tie widows and orphans Of those
who tell. He regrets that the general
govern ment has taken no steps 10 Mfiict
proper penalties upon the rebel leaders,
and terms in a censurab'e forbcaranc-. If
we a,e shocked at the exhibition of cruel
ties ard lngratitude among those Who, bav-
ing inangr rat,d and pros, cuted causeleSs
war against a general government, and hav
ing been permitted to escape the punish
mcnt they deserve, AID once more arro-
gantly cldmoring to assume the carroll of
the destinies Of this great nation, how
much greater cause would we have had for
surprise bad slavery been permitted to in
crease and multiply? Boast as we may of
our material and our moral victories, yet
is 1T not true that there is no such thing as
Republican government in ten States that
began and carried on the war? There is
not to-day despotic state in Europe where
the individual rights of man are so defiant
ly trampled under foot as in sections of our
owncountry which were supposed 10 have
been brought into full submit sion to the
government Of the United States The
vio'ators Of most solemn obligations; per-

annals If time; murderers of our heroic

A lharRel House.

A writer in the Washington Inteiiioen-
Ger spe, H. of terrible spectacle, in the
new cemetery, within dozen rods of the
Arlington mansion. He SAYS: Ht
A {, ircu ar pit, twenty feet deep, and the
same in diameter, has been sunk by the
side of The flower garden, cemrnted and
divided into compartments, and down in
to this gloomy receptacle are cast the
bones of such soldiers as perish Oh the
field, and either not buried at all, or were
so covered Us a. to have their bones MN
gIed indiscriminately together At the
time we looked into this 9 glnony cavern, n
literal Golg,tha, there were piled together
skulls in one division, legs in anothrr, arms
in another, aud ibis in another, what We're
estimated as the bones of Two thousand
human beings. They were dropping
ifragmcntaly human skeletons into this re-
CO 'taele almost daily, ant! at that time 1t
was perhaps half full. The first thought
in looking down upon this reyoi:l"g scene
was that no such disposition shouIa have
been planned for these bones. that there
was land enough, and they should have
been buried as others were. in parcels as
nearly those Of a human body as. possible,
and marked rs unknown soldiers. We
hayr not changed our mind upon snbse-
quent reflection. ..,

At aspreliminary caucus held by the
thirty-ts Legislative supporters of Curtin,
Stevens and Grow, on thursday afternoon,
Senator Fisher, Of Lancaster, according to,
Forney's Press, said
ale believed that the election of Simon
Cameron to the Senate Of the United States
at this time would be the great est disaster
that could happen to the Republican party,
and it was for those present TO determine
whether they had better 70 in and partici-
pa,e in the proce, d;ngs of the caucus and
submit TO its drc,sioD, or whether they had
better remain out. As for his part, he had
mo- hesitation in saying that there was but
one power beneath heaven (pointing to MIR,
StevenA) that could induce him TO go into
the caucns.
The Gen. did not go in.
Senator Bllingfrlt of Lancaster, said,
"a great crime was to be perpetrated to-
night. The high offices of United States
Senator Was to be bargain d away for gain.
There was not gentleman in the room ut
there was be would call upon him to step
forward) who did not believe this. There
was not Senate: present who did not feel
satisfied from the bottom of his heart that
this Office would be bartered and sold to-
night. Nine out of every ten intelligent
citizens will endorse their action II they re-
main out of the caucus and he, for one
should not becomc, a party to movement
thai ,ould bring dishonor and oisgrace, not
Only upon the members of the Legislature
bnt upon tile constituents and the great he
publican party of Pennsylvania, by giving
his voice or lending bis presence to body
of men who are going tc assemble tonight,
to set at defiance tn best and holiest wish
es of that great party
And Mr.. Billingfelt did not 60 in.
Col. Lemuel Told, of Cumberland, said {:
"The friends OF General Cameron had So
cured majority that would give him the
nomination IN caucus He had 40 hesi-
tancv in sa, ing that the election of Simon
Cameron would be the worst calamity that
could befall the State. 1t wonld be dis
honor, not only to the State, but to every
member of the Republican party. The dis
case requires radical remedy, and II is for
the men who are faithful to Republican
principles to set their faces against 'his cor
rupt effort of. Simon Cameron and strike at
the very roots it. Better ten Thousand
times that no election should be made than
that he should ,lisgrace US. - The true
policy of those who are opposed to Cameron
is to force the election before the House
aud defeat him at all hazards"
Notwithstanding this and much more all
of the members present, except Fisher and
BillingfeIt, went Into the caucus, and, when
Cameron brought oat his forty-si1 votes,
they fell into the leash with Il e docility of
whipped spaniels. Shame!

Negro Mob and Riot at Cairo Illinois.
From the Cairo Democrat I0l

In the forenoon yesterday, a mob of ne
grors congrcgated alb ut the hands employ
ed in loading the Mississippi Valley Trans
portation Company's bargcs at our ~huf.
and ordered them to cease works ahd de-
mand an advance on the wages thew were
receiving, which we understand is two dol
lars per day. The hands refused t. do so,
and tn reupnn the mob commenced pelfing
them with rock. aud Succc; d-d in driving
them away from tbe work. The police be
ing informed of the state of affairs, made a
desceut upon the desperador<, and succeed,
ed in capturing twenty-five or thirty.
whom theH marched off TO the lock up at
quick->tep We are Informed that the
same mob drove the hands away from their
work day before yesterday, causing them
to lose three or four hours lime. Ii is to
be hoped, now that these rascals have been
caught, they may receive the punishment
they so richly deserve. They have been
trying for days past to cxb'te the crews Of
>eve al the steamers loa,!ing al our wharf
to qnit work, unless captains would agree
to pay them forty cents per hour. They
are villains whom wages could induce
TO earn AN honest living, AMI who wish t o
prevent Others from doing so and We
truSt The authoritirs will put them through
on the double quick aud lightning train. -
