A Word.

The editor of the Freeman AYERS that
we charged the inmates of st. Navier's
Monastery, in Westmoreland county, with
having fraudulently voted at the last Oc-
tober election We did not so charge,
and the editor of the Freeman knows it.
We copied an article from Fayette pa
per relative to the alleged frauds in the
21st Congressional district, in the body of
which was statement to the effect that
some of the st. Xavier monks had voted
fraudulently. But We did not endorse the
article. We copied it merely as an item
of current report, and gave due credit to
the paper from which it was taken. Yet
the freeman has for weeks been iterating
and reiterating that by publishing the ar
ticle in question we were guilty of an un-
called for assault on the St. Xavier monks,
and, through them, on the Catholic reli-
gion, and ostentatiously asks us to make
amends for the ''falsehood." As to the
charge being falsehood, we have only
the word of the editor of the Freeman
for that-not the best testimony in the
world. How does he know whether it is
true or false? To the best of our recol-
lection, he was in Ebensburg during all OF
the second Tuesday of October, assisting
in piling up the magnificent majority
which the Democratic party didn't get,
and it is reasonable to suppose that he
knows absolutely nothing of the alleged
occurrence.
We make this proposition If the ed
itor of the Freeman will demonstrate,
first, that We made any charge W hatsoever
against the St. Xavier monks, and, Sec
ond, that such charge was untrue, we viii
] cheerfully make all the amends in oul
power.
The editor of the freeman has been and
is now making handle of this matter with
the hope Of bringing The Aleghdnian into
disrepute among the Catholics and of pro-
portionately advancing himself and his
sheet in the affections of that class. He
has been and is doing this dishonesty and
malicious!y. Well, it's just like him, and
perhaps we ought not to complain. Blu
we may say that he is welcome to all h
makes by the performance.

the bond on which his money was loaned
stipulates, and adds ominously, "the lessons
of the past admonish the lender that it is
not we'll to be over anxious in exacting
from the borrower rigid compliance with
the letter of the bond" OAndrew John
son 'from what hight fallen ?" With
some other than the American people
there might be danger in such PROPOSE
tion coming from one occupying SO high
place, but thank heaven that while this
man is serpent enough both to charm and
sting, he was long since bereft of the pow
er to do either. There are many bad men
who are public creditors, but until one
wrong can excuse another the country can
not justly repudiate either the principal or
interest of her debt

Andrew JOhnsOn's Message.

Andrew johnson has for the last time
been the author of an annual Presidential
Message. 4 few weeks more and he shall
retire from the public view, "unwept, un-
honored, and unsung" even by his polite
al friends Almost any other man having
taken issue with the party that elevated
him to the Vice Presidency, and been de-
feated as he, has been, would have endeav-
ored by rational means to regain public
confidence and the affection of his former
party friends. But Andrew johnson
chooses to insult Congress and the coun-
try. and to disgust those who would now
stand by him, if he would only give them
standing room. The last message that
was his providence to lay before the two
houses of Congress gave him an opportu-
nity that a wise man would have gladiy
improved. The question Reconstruction
had been fought and settled. 1t was
his duty to accept the decision of the peo-
pie. He could have done so without loss
of dignity. By endeavoring to cooperate
with Congress ON other questions, he would
have done a practical good, would have
caused much of the past to be forgotten
and would have regained at least a part O.
his former standing But as a leopard
cannot change his spots, neither can An
drew johnson his folly. He makes hi'
last message his worst, and displeascs hi
friends no less than his enemies. He mus
row retire wiGh his ambition defeated, hi
honor worse than furnished, his name ;
by-wcYd and mocking, hated by foes ant
despised by friends.
But as if to complete or embeliish hi
closing career with an extra touch OF In
fanny, he proposes that the public eredito
shall not be paid the interest Tor which

The Alaska Purchase and the
Lobby.

There is much talk about the sums PAID
to outsiders to procure the ratification OF
the Alaska purchase According to the
correspondent of the Worcester Spy,
among the sums specified in these reports
are such items as-New York Tribune,
$40, 600; manager of its Washington Bu-
reau, $4,000; publisher of Washington
Chronicle, $4,000. The correspondents
of the Times, Horld, Boston Journal, Phil
adelphia Press, Chicago Tribune, Boston
Adoertiser, Eoeniny Post, and others, are
all set down as having been paid various
sums each, from $4,000 upwards. Some
of them are anxiously inquiriug what has
become of the money, as it has never been
paid to them. The daughters of mem
Der from Ohio got $4,000 each, but this,
it is affirmed, was Immediately sent back.
Robert J. Walker is said to have got $25-
| 900. The certificates for this amour: are
said to have been stolen from him in Bos-
| ton or New York He makes no secret
of his having received a large sum, but
says it was professional retainer from the
Russian government. The lobbyists, etc,
were paid in greenbacks, they having been
urgent for such payment as soon as the
! Alaska bill passed. But it is now report
ed that MIR. Riggs, the banker, received
from the "high contracting parties this
amount in gold, with which he paid back
to the Treasury Mr.. McCulloch's loan, and
netted to himself the nice little per cent.
of $4,000, being the difference Of 35 per
cent. between gold and legal tenders.
This commission is said to be outside OF
what he was paid for services rendered.
The "harpies," vexed at being sold, are
now talking about the matter. Some say
that the difference has been, or is to be,
divided among the clamorous in order to
hush matters up.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER II, 1868.
United states senator.

Among the names spoken of for United
States Senator in place of Charles R.
Buckalew, we recognize many of men
known in the commonwealth for their in
tegrity, their business capacity, and their
general talent. Out of the list the Legisla-
ture ought to be able to find man who
will serve the State WE'LL and adorn his
high position. 1t is important at the pres
ent time, and necessary in order that
Pennsylvania may have her due influence
in the national councils, that the person
chosen be well qualified for the discharge
of the duties pertaining to the office. No
man can have qualifications so high that
he may not find room for their employ
ment in the Senate of the United States.
One man may be well qualified for the
transaction of business, and as business
man may have and deserve widespread
reputation. He may be identified with all
the great financial interests of the State,
and yet not be the man for Senator. An
other may be thorough lawyer, standing
at the head of his profession, yet fail as
legislator Another may be engaged in
manufacturing industry, and as intl-
mate with the mineral resources of the
commonwealth as with his alphabet, yet
it does not follow that he is a proper man
for our next Senator. 1t is right and
necessary that the great material interests
of the country should be represented in
the councils of the nation by men identi-
fed with those interests But the lower
house of Congress is the place for such rep
resentation. We can have but two Sena-
tors. Being only two, they should be dis
tinguished for their statesmanlike quail
ties. But what constitutes statesman
That's the question, and one easier asked
than answered. We do not now think OF
better answer than to say that ne is
man of such largeness of mind as enables
him to judge of political measures by their
general results and necessary effects. For
instance, certain class of men proposed
at the close of the war to cOnfscate the
property of the Southern people, Now, q
statesman might have believed those peo
ple to merit such punishment, but he
could never have given it his approval
for the plain reasons that it would have
caused almost endless litigation, provoked
increased bitterness and hntrnd tnward
v1Io rrorth, and have injured the whole
country by preventing a return Of indus
try and prosperity to so large portion
of it. True craftsmanship would die
tate such measures as were necessary tx
secure justice and protection to all and fu
ture safety to the nation, and these secur
cd, to win back all alienated people t.
loyalty and affection.
We know no man now before the peo
ple of our State who is adorned with
greater number of statesmanlike qualitie
than John Scott, of Huntingdon. Lik
Cesar's wife, his integrity is above suspi
cion Whether as regards the motive
that influence him, or the means he ma
use to secure his ends, or his conduct as
private citizen, no man can say that he
not an honor to himself, his friends, an
the commonwealth.

REVERDY JoHNSON.-A correspond
ent of the Pittsburg Chronicle, describing
the opening scenes of Congress, makes the
following mention Of resolution introduc-
ed in the House by our representative, Mr..
Morrell, censuring the antics and monkey
shines of Minister Reverdy johnson in
England -
"Our venerable Minister to England was
also the object of special attention from
Mr. Morcll, of Pa. 1t was in the form of
an intimation that our distinguished diplo-
mat has INDUCED II practices prejudicial
to the interest and dignity Of the nation.
Before Minister johnson went abroad 1T
was well known in this country aod Eng
land that he was very partial to English
life, and very popular with English people
on account Of his assimilation with and
enjoyment of the habits and peculiarities
of that people. lie has only acted con-
sistently with his prejudices, and in doing
so, has disappointed no one. With full
knowledge of these facts he was unanl-
mously confirmed by the Senate, and the
committee on Foreign affairs, to whom Mr..
Morrell's resolution was referred, will have
to recommend those who sympathize with
Mr.. Morrell on the interest and dignity
question, to suffer and be strong until,
in the course of political events, relief
comes"

be used fer base purposes. He knows his
duty, and dares maintain it. He is an
accomplished scholar, a fine lawyer, a
statesman, and an honest man, and it does
appear that our Legislators mean to imi-
