IT is disgrace to the age we live in,
and reproach to those who have the
morals and interests of the community
at heart, or who should have, that the
market is flooded with vulgar, Indecent,
even obscene publications. There are
two or three Newspapers published in
New York, and which in some manner
find their way into all the towns and
villages of our State, which no virtuous
or pure minded man or woman would
care to see in the hands Of young people.
There is no calcu lating tho amount of
harm such publications do. They arc
flying pestilence and carry with them u
poison worse than death. 1t would be
well for the Legislature to pass q law
making IL "a misdemeanor to sell these
sheets, coupled with penalties sufficient
ly heavy to deter dealers from circulat-
ing them, and it. would be decided
help to the morals of the community.
There are some sores upon the body
polite which lawmakers cannot reach,
but when evil is brought fairly in view,
and is remedable, tor the sake OF COM
mon decency and with an ordinary de-
sire to preserve the we'll being of the
State, the remedy should be applied at
once and ~ severely rs possible.

WEarc not easily surprised. but when
gallant soldier OF the war of 1872 told
us few days ago, that IL pesky radical
from Espytown had charged that Sena-
;or Buckalew and Colonel Freeze had
been instrumental in instigating the
military raid into Columbia county, we
certainly though it to surpass ordinary
radical lying. And this the more es-
pecially, since at the time, and during
the military trials, such papers as the
Harrisburg Tetegraph and the Phila-
delphia Inquirer charged Col. Freeze
with being the ''leader of the Confed
eracy," and urged his arrest.
Our friend was therefore entirely right
in giving the lie direct TO the assertion,
and he might have added also, that the
party retailing the SANDER knew he
was lying at the time. We suppress
the names for the present

SENATOR BUCKALEw.-The Pitts
burg Republic (Republican) prints the
following deserved editorial tribute to
the ability yand worth OF Pennsylvania
Democratic United States Senator. 1t
is an abundant and overwhelming
answer to the low scurrility of the
Columbia County Repuoiican, and OF
thesne-rs ofsome pretended Democrats:
at is with feelings ofState pride, en-.
tirely unmixed with anything like
partisanship, that we are led to make
honorable mention of Hon. Charles K.
Buckalew, United States Senator from
Pennsylvania. We regard him as one
of the ablest men of that body. His
speeches are characterized by clearness
OF logic, sound reasoning, forcible argu
ment, md loftiness and purity Of rhe-
toric. Although an uncompromising
Democrat, he never fails 10 command
the attention and respect of Republican
members, for he never so far forgets
himself in the heat of debate, as to in
dulge in Incorporate and ill-timed
remarks. 1t would be well for the coun-
try If both the great political parties
would always select such men as their
representatives in the councils Of the
nation"

ments made in the extract.
And this respondent, not waiving or
at all disparaging his right Of freedom
ofopinion, and of freedom of speech,
as hereinbefore or hereinafter more
particularly set forth, but claiming and
insisting upon the same, further an
swering the said tenth article, says that
| the views and opinions expressed by
| this respondent in his said addresses to
| the assemblages of his fellow citizens,
Us said article or in this answer thereto
mentioned arc not and were not inten-
ded to be other or different from those
expressed by him in his communications
| to CongresS-that the eleven States in
insurrection never ceased to be States
of the Union, and that they were then
entitled to representation in Congress
by loyal Representatives and Senators
rs fully rs the other States of the Union
and that consequently the Congress, as
| then constituted, was not in fact Con-
gress OF all the States, but Congress of
only part of the States. This respon-
dent always protesting against the un-
| authorized exclusion therefrom of all
OF the said eleven States, nevertheless
gave his assent TO all laws passed by
said Congress which did not, in his
opinion and judgment, violate the
Constitution, exercising his constitu-
tional authority of returning bills to
said Congress with his objections when
they appeared to him unconstitutional
or inexpedient and further the res
pondent has also expressed the opinion
both in his communication to Congress
aud in his address to the people, that
the policy adopted by Congress in refer
ence to the States lately in insurrection
did not tend TO peace, harmony, and
union, but, on the contrary, did tend
to disunion and the permanent disrup-
tion OF the States, and that, in follow
ing the said policy, laws have been
| passed by Congress in violation of the
fundamental principles of the Govern
ment, and which tended to consolida-
ton and despotism, and such being
MS deliberate opinion, he would have
felt himself unmindful of the high
duties of his Office if he had failed to
express them in his communications
to Congress, or in his addresses to the
people when called upon by them to ex-
press AN opinion on matters of public or
political consideration.

THE following complimentary allus-
ion to General Ent, the Democratic
candidate for Surveyor General, we find
in the Blairsville Press, sheet of the
extreme radical stripe. The editor, Mr..
Blrkman, was in the same corps with
Gen. Ent, and therefore speaks by the
book:
"We made mistake last week in
stating that the Democratic State Con-
vention nominated Mr.. Wellington, of
Columbia county, for surveyor General.
We were led into this by the telegraph
ic reports published in the Pittsburg
dailies. 1t should have been Gen. Well
lington ii. Ent, of Columbia co., the
last commander of the 9th Regt. of p.
X. ", and rs brave and gallant sol
dier as ever left the State. We are glad
the Democrats nominated him. He is
foeinan worthy of any mans steel.
There will be more credit defeating him
than one of those stay t-hOme patriots
SO universally brought out by that par
ty when there is a prospect Of success,
While we despise the principles of the
party which nominated Gen. Ent, we
will never permit one word of personal
detraction to be published against him
without our feeble effort being made to
refute it,"

The Buckshot war.


IN the meantime, the Clerk, Francis
II. Skunk, proceeded regularly in the
discharge of his duties. \ motion to
proceed to the election of Speaker was
put by the Clerk, carried, the list of
members deliberately called over, and
firty-fve voted for William Hopkins,
President Of the late Democratic Con-
vention at Harrisburg, He was de-
clared duly elected, was sworn in, took
his seat, and proceeded with his duties.
Stevens andhis lsump House dispersed,
leaving Hopkins and the duly qualified
fifty-five members, being II quorum, in
possession of the Hall, books, minutes
and records.
ON Thursday following, the Boilers
met at II private house in Harrisburg,
and organized with forty-iive members.
They continued thus to meet Mt various
places until the 18th of December, when
the whole thing collapsed, the seceders
coming in aud taking the oath, except
Stevens, who, disgusted and demoral-
izod, resigned and went home.
In the Senate on the same 18th day of
December, another farce was being en-
acted. Charles b. Penrose, a follower
of Stevens, was in the Chair, not by
any right, but because he had been
Speaker at the last session. After the
adjournment Of the Rump, the Boilers
went into the Senate Chamber to ar
range matters there. Penrose was car
rying things with high hand. He
permitted the Federalists to speak, but
whenever General Rogers, of Bucks,
or Mr.. Charles Brown of Philadelphia
rose, he raped with his mallet, and
said they were ont of order, refusing to
hear them, or any other Democrat.
Some demonstrations of dissatisfac'
tion induced Penrose to leave the Chair,
and Mr., Pearson was then elected Spea.
ker, the majority of the Senate being
anti-Democratic. As soon as possible
the opposition Senators from Philadel
phia. Hanna and Wagner, were sworn
in, and being the minority candidates
the gross outrage stirred the hearts o
the people. On motion, Hon. Charles
Brown was permitted to speak, and
suspecting the gathering storm, Speak
er Pearson called Gen. Rogers to the
Chair, and left the Chamber. Their,
We're, however, no threats of persona
violence, nor were there any armed
men in or about the Legislative Halls
except, perhaps, the "IIalifax Bullies'
of the Radicals. But the wicked fle(
when no man pursueth, and "Penrose
Burrowes, Stevens and Fem, left the
Senate Chamber through the bach
window"
Thus both Houses were, on the first
day Of meeting, permanently and regu
larly organized. The House, by the
election Of William Hopkins, Demo-
crat, as Speaker; and the Senate, by
the election of Mr.. Pearson, a Whig.
In that result, which indicated the
state of majorities in each House, all
the citizens and spectators acquiesced
and all difficulty and danger seemed tc
be over, even although the Rump Bolt
ers still met in out-of-the-way houses
and places. But the conspirators were
not satisfied, and were preparing anoth'
er scene in the drama, and bringing
other actors upon the stage, to strut
their little hour. The object being tC
overawe the Hopkins or majority
! House, and force the official reconstruc
tion Of the Stevens-C Cunningham fac
tion.
