SENATOR CAssERLY, OF CALIFORNIA.
The California correspondent of the Chica-
go Tribune says of the new Democratic
Senator from that!State:
''Casserly is an out-and-out Union man,
who declared for the Union of the States, and
gave literally of his ample means in aid of
the Sanitary Commission. He is not arad-
ical by any MEANS but his election is deci-
ded triumph OF tie Conservative Union SEN
timent over both the Radical and Copper
head elements. He is a native of ireland,
but long a resident of the Unired States,
lawyer by profession, and man of far more
than ordinary ability; in fact, first class
man, and entirely unobjectionable On every
point, so far as MS habits and moral char
acter are concerned. His election is bitter
pill for the secesh Democracy.

Labor Reform Associations.n

1t seems our article on Labor Reform Assoca-
tons, in issue of January 18th, had the effect
to stir up the bile, in the stomach of one "An-
drew Wilson tremendousy-judging from the
amount of filth he elected through the columns
of the last Republican. Now, as Andy processes
to be Republican, and says he addressed the
first meeting in the county the subject of the
rights of labor" and virtually admits that Cop
perheads connected with the association. and
as his character for truth and veracty is above ~
suspicion in court of justice, we have no dispo-
sition to doubt his statement-and hence it is
necessary for US to notice his bilingsgate, nor
have any future controversy with him on the
subject. So, good-by, Andy and if should
happen to say anything about ''labor reform asso
Citations" hereafter, and thereby disturb your
turbid stomach, just take small dose of Ipeeac,
for that will relieve you much more readily than
effort to eject it through the columns of the
Republican. So, once more, good-by. Andy!

The Gettysburg Swindle.

IF we did not know. says the Morning
Post, that there are people who have down
right passion for being swindied, we shouio
think the Gettysburg lottery shop would
close It's doors to morrow in despair. but
the accomplished bidders who manage the
concern know the public too well to be fright
ened by the exposure of their schemes. Mr..
Van Wyck's report to Congress, several
days ago, tells the whole story OF the
swindle Yet, we suppose, there are persons
capable of reading it, and then starting Oh
to buy ticket, in the firm belief that they
will draw farm, or $4,000, or set OF
diamonds. There is in the very nature OF
lottery evidence of fraud to any person OF
sense, so that the enterprise from the first
depends solely upon the fools for support.
The people who buy lottery tickets, there
fore, are not easily convinced by facts. Each
fool will admit that everybody else will be
swindled, but-alas for the self and
credulity of mankind-he is firm in the COM
placent belief that he will escape the gener-
al fate People of this kind are not to be
frightened by Mr.. Van Wyck' report and
so the Gettysburg lottery shop may safe
ly continue it's pleasant little game.
But the facts reported by the House COM
mittee ought to be the basis of immediate
action by the authorities. Mr.. Van Wyck
saws that the concern is formally under the
control of three professional lottery gamb-
lers, Messrs France, Edgarton and Dickin-
son, and they are to be the supervisors OF
the Asylum But let nobody be alarmed a
bout the orphans of our soldiers, for the
Asylum will never be built. These opera
tors so cunningly framed their charter that,
out of the 5 200, 600 they propose TO whls-
tie out of the pockets of the people, but
$40, ,O00 will, in all human probability, ever
60 to the benefit Of the proposed-or
rather the nproposed-Asylum. We do
not wonderthat Gen. Meade Indignantly pro
nounced the project swindle, or that the
Postmaster General, who was at the first in
duced to recommend it, now withdraws his
approval, discovering it, rather late in the
day, to be fraudulent scheme. We are
sorry that Collector Diehl does not get off
as luckily as Mr.. Randall, and that he can
not be acquitted of helping to establish this
monstrous imposture. Mr.. Jones, of the
New York Times, appears to be in the same
boat
There is one paragrap ph in the report which
ought not to be forgotten. 1t touches the
very root OF the matter. 'AH lotteries are
swindles. Yet by far the most dangerous
lotteries are those where vice is made attrac-
tive, where sense of the crime is deadened
and consciousness of the guilt removed, by
the pleasing delusion that honorable names
endorse, and pretended good end justifies,
violations of the law

Notes from Harrisburg.

The Republican State Central Committee
met on January 22d, and fixed the Ilth of
March as the time, and the city of Phila-
delphla as the place of Getting of the State
Convention. 1t seems to be conceded on all
hands that Gems. Hartranft and Campbell
will be renominated by acclamation for Aud
ltor and Surveyor Generals The State
Convention will nominate four delegates at
large to the Chicago convention, and each
of the twenty-four Congressional districts
will nominate two delegates. An electoral
ticket will also be nominated Each district
will probably name its elector at the county
conventions to be held for the appointment
of delegates to the State convention. From
present appearances, presume every county
will send Grant delegates to the State con
venton. There may be some contest over
the Vice Presidency in the State convention.
IF it was not for the Vice Presidency the
Republicans need not be at the trouble of
sending delegates to Chicago, as Gen Grant
is already conceded to be their choice.
Among the Democracy it seems to be ad-
mItted that Buckaiew Is to be laid on shelf,
and if they have the majority in the Legis-
lature of 1869, that Senator Wallace is to
be their man. Gen. McCandless' friends
say he has the inside track in 1869, for Gov
ernor. [ do not believe that either of them
will be troubed-certainly not Wallace-in
serving the State in either capacity The
Presidential election will carry at least TWEEN
ty majority in the Legislature of 1869.
The operations Of the Pennsylvania State
Lunatic Asylum during the last year have
been conducted with more than usual sue
cess. Eighty-one more patients have been
treated than in any previous year. An ad
| ditional appropriation of $4,000 is asked
for by the managers to defray the expence:
arising IRON the enlargement of the Asylum.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, speaking of
Virginia claims of high descent, says: Re
cent investigations show that not twenty of
the old families have living representatives,
and that the men who are now boastiDg of
their purity of descent, sprang from ignoble
sources. To give single instance, the an
cestor of the great Henry A Wise was sold
for one hundred pound of tobacco to pay his
passage money tc America, and the bill OF
the sale is preserved in private library in
