GEN. GRANTS ELEcIIoN-The Washington
correspondent Of the Baltimore Gazette says:
1T is quiet along the Potomac and the de-
feated Democratic leaders here declare that Gen.
Grant is entitled to receive fair trial in the Ex.
ecutve chair: They say he stands unpledged to
any party aud uncommitted to any policy, and will
assume the Presidency under circumstances the
most favorable to himself, but unfavorable to the
extreme measures of Radicalism. A prominent
officer Of the army who wasfriendly to Gen. Grant
election, and known to be somewhat IN ms conn;
cal T around him as advisers only statesmen ofknown
Conservative views, and that an ex-member O.
Congress from Illinois, ofths Rsmecratie school,
would be the first selection for his Cabinet Ihe h
Conservative men in Washington yield gracefully
to their overwhelming defeat confident IN the BE-
lief that had Grant not been nominated BY the
Radicals he would have been by the Democrats,
and that his anteeedents have al been Co9seIya'
tive. Many predict that he will be impesched BY
the Radicals 10 less than twelve months from the
date Of. his Inauguration.

THE AIR LINE RAIL ROAD.

Vigorous efforts are Being made By the officers
Of this contemplated rail road, to place its Affairs
upon sound financial basis, and to begin its early
construction. .,.,.....,..,..., .,,!,,-,l..-
The people Of York are deeply interested in the
enterprise, and should at once awaken to q sense
of the importance Of aiding to secure its favorable
location. The line has not yet been surveyed nor
established but if the road is built it viii pass
through portion Of this County. It's influence
upon the value Of property will be great, and q
corresponding effort should be made by our peo-
pie to see that this influence be directed in way
that will enhance rather than deteriorate the value
Of property. ,... ..,.l - .y..t q.
The people of York can offer inducements in the
way Of land subscriptions that will likely prove &C
ceptable, and we would suggest the propriety Of
an early organization Of those in this County who
may be interested in the enterprise. 49,

TEE SgTE.fTEOs.

In the present crisis all thoughts are
turned towards the Supreme Court.
The Radical members of the Rump
Congress are making every exertion
in their power to have the President
tried and found gdilty before a decision
on the constitutonality Of the Tenure of
Office Bill can be o0tained. IF that de.
cision should be adverse to President
johnson, we will not, nor will ary man
who respects the laws of his country,
demur. But, if on the other hand, the
Radicals persist in their schemes before
a decision has been reached, and if the
decision should be in favor of the Pres.
ident when obtained, we say that the
President would then be justified in US,
ing every means within his power to
crush the jafernal fanatics and reyolu.
tiouists to eternal perdition.
We hope and trust, for the sake Of
humanity, that civil war may be avcrted
Yet it were better to lose our lives than
transmit to posterity such a government
as Stevens, Sumner, Wade, and Others
Of that iik, would make this if they sue
coed in their hcilish designs against The
constituted authorities.

E5-A. T. Stewart and number of
other milionaircs of New York are
flooding the country with the printed
proceedings OF meeting held in Coop,
er Institute, where they nominated
Gen. Grant for the Presidency. These
proceedings are generally accompanied
by printed circular signed by Stewart
and some dozen others, as an executive
committee. These men can count their
government bonds by the million
hence it is no difficult matter TO tell
why they are SO anxious to secure the
election Of their lavorite, to whom they,
some time ago, presented with hun
dred thousand dollar mansion in Fifth
Avenue. Sharp fellows, these. They
know how to get their money back.

EGs' We understand that the project
of constructing railroad from Buffalo
to Washington City, is again revived at
the National Capital When it is con-
sidereG that this louto-yia Warren.
Elk, Clearfeld, Blair, Huntingdon and
Franklin counties to Point Of Rocks
to the Potomac--is the shortest from
the Lakes to tide-water, the wonder is
that the Government has delayed so
long. But the eternal negro is in the
way, and the majority of the present
Congress thinks it far more important to
secure :he next President by the aid of
negro votes, than they do of developing
the resources of the country, ana pre-
pairing it for defence in case of foreign
war, and hence we need not look for
any help from that quarter,
