GEARY AND HESTER VAUGHAN.

From the ~ Y. World.
The denomination of Governor Geary need
surprise nobody, and certainly will not as
tonish that renominee himself, inasmuch as it
is the object towards which all his official
actions seem to have been directed How he
has pandered to the prejudices of his con-
stituency in one instance is amply shown by
the Jews from England about the arrival of
Hester Vaughan there, which happened, by
fortuitous felicity, to be published in the same
number of the World which apprised the
public of the denomination of Geary. New
York raised hubbub about the ears of Phi
ladelphia, concerning the hasty trial and
unjust sentence of this woman, which Phila-
delphian philanthropy, although willing
enough, was not able to ignore, and the
meaning of which was brought home to Gov
ernor Geary in such manner that he saw he
could not afford to despise it. Accordingly,
after waiting until the public interest in the
matter had grown cool and Hester Vaughan
had languished long enough in prison to
expiate whatever crime it is possible that
she can have committed this model Governor
pardoned her with the two provisos
| neither of which he had any right to make,
and both of which were undoubtedly made to
save the sensitiveness of Philadelphians-tha
the fact of her pardon should not be imme =
diately made public, and that she should be
! sent to her home in England forthwith That
is TO say he commuted her sentence of death
to a sentence of banishment from the country
of her choice and at the same time refused
to remove, so far as he had the power to re-
move it, the stigma which rested upon her
reputation. Thus, an act of injustice was
perpetrated; but thus, also, some few votes
were saved to Geary. Now we hear that
Hester Vaughan is in England, so destitute
that she has had to write to her Americ an
friends, begging for wherewithal to return to
her own home. The most shameful part of
the story is that there was money and succor
waiting for her in New York when she sailed,
which, owing to Geary's prohibition of pub
licity, she conld not have the benefit Of II
was better, in Geary's view of it, that this
unfortunate woman should be shipped of
secretly, and deprived of the ministrations OF
her friends in New York, than that self-love
of few Philadelphians should be SO wounded
as to embitter them against him, and so be
cloud his political prospects.

WHAT DO THEY COME FOR?

From the NJ Y. Tribune.
Accounts from various sources concur in
saying that multitudes of the British working
classes are more than ever turning attention
towards this country as q refuge from their
over-tasked and under-fed condition. Co-ope-
rative movements for facilitating emigration
are now finding uncommon favor among those
unhappy people.
Free-trade being eulogized by its American
votaries as a sovereign preventive or remedy
for distress among the operatives, and as
England is the model nation to which our
American free-traders turn their admiring
eyes, it would be interesting to see them ex-
plain why the British laborers are thus seeking
to abandon their native land for homes in
America. 1t would be particularly instructive
to see them draw comparisons between the
operatives in our principal manufacturing
cities and the legions that are thus seeking to
better their condition by taking fight, as fast
as they can pay passage-money, for the United
States. Our laboring classes are dreadfully
oppressed and impoverished, as the free
traders assure us, by the operation of protec-
tive tariffs. Why, then, do fresh swarms
throng hither to fall on our greater sufferings?
What do they come for

PENNSYLVANIA.

PM Che n. 7. World.
Prom all accounts, the Republican Conven-
|n of Pennsylvania, which assembled in
bladelplia on Wednesday last and renomi-
Ned Mr.. Geary for Governor, was very
|pular affair. The idea and belief that the
Ety was to encounter defeat at the polls in

En of the Convention, many of whom gave

cent one, much the largest we expect ever
raised IN the United States The great Val
ley of Virginia reports five million bushels
witch is a splendid yield; but California, with
her isfty to sixty bushels to the acre, beats it
all hollow. OF rye, barley, and oats an ample
general crop is fixed in the harvested or ripen-
ing fields. A large breadth of land South has
been planted IN cotton, and notwithstanding
the prevailing grumbling of "a bad stand,
''too much wet, drowned out" 'tyellow
cast, ARMY worm,' ETC., we shall most
likely have full average crop on the area
planted But we can learn nothing very de-
finite about it, however, till the cotton begins
to come to market; for it is the planters
policy to keep up the price till compelled to
sell on the basis of the supply We do not
blame the planter We merely suggest that
all this grumbling must be taken with a libe-
raj sprinkling of salt.
Of the small fruits berries, and cherries
the general yield this year is something Won
derful. The promise for the greatest and
most important crop of all, the Indian corn
crop, is upon the whole first rate, and SO of
potatoes, Irish and sweet, garden sass and
everything else. OF the Northern hay crop,
generally surprising in cash value the South
ern cotton crop, we hear no complaint, from
which we infer the yield is something extra
We have, in short, the fairest prospect for a
most glorious yield throughout the Union of
all the fruits of the earth this season. Let
the people, then, of Europe who are turning
their faces this way come along. We have
room enough, and bread enough, and work
enough for ALL Let the Secretary of the
Treasury rejoice and persevere in his efforts
to cut down the national debt; for the debt is
but bagatelle compared with the wonderful
resources of the country. Our natural re-
sources are greater than those of all Europe;
our debt is less than that of England.

The Springs.

The season in the mountains goes ahead
with very great animation and activity.
There were some five hundred visitors ut
the White Sulphur last week, and other
springs were well attended. We believe
there arc more guests at all the leading
springs than ever before at this period of
the year.
There is to be grand fancy ball at the
White Sulphur on Friday night next, for
which there is extensive preparation. We
suppose the railroad will put out return
tickets Tor the occasion.
There have been many things operating
against full representation Of fashion in
the Virginia mountains this season but,
nevertheless, the extension of the railroad
to the White Sulphur will probably cause
larger number of travellers in those noun
tains than at any former season.
The Hot Springs seems to have shot
ahead finely, it's numbers having reached
two hundred last week-greatly in excess of
any previous season ut so early 6. period.
The Healing, too, is fourishing. The Hot
has made some remarkable cures of late
years. We met a worthy gentleman day
or two since who had been bowed with
rheumatism, whose agonies he had suffered
for years, but was now restored completely,
erect, and free from pain. The Hot had
relieved him, and he was very happy.
There is large number in the Sweet
Springs valley. The Old Sweet has an un-
usually large company, and its entertain
ment is superb. The Sweet Chalybeate, al
ways popular, is quite lively. The lovely
valley will have more of life and fashion
this year than any since the war.
Upon the average, the prospect is that the
Springs will do very well. They deserve to
be we'll supported, and thus far the heat of
the summer seems to be conspiring for
their advantage.

~ ALEXANDRIA. VA, July 10.

"To the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch
"Suppose General Candy should require
of the members elect of the Legislature the
iron-clad oath, as it is termed, and ma
ioritv should decline to take it, will not
the whole scheme for the reconstruction OF
the State be frustrated Could Governor
Walker take his seat, or member of Con-
rress he admitted, prior to the adoption OF
the fifteenth amendment? and how can this
be adopted without the Legislature elect
assemblies Has General Candy any right,
and where would he get his authority fol
seating the minority candidates, or persons
not elected? Is there any authority any
where for holding new election? No such
can be found in the acts of Congress. Is II
fixed fact that unless the people OF Fir-
einia will bow in humble submission tc
ultra radicalism they will be refused any
and all rights The situation has been ac-
ceptcd in good faith the people have done
ali that was asked Of them. More cannot
and ought not to be demanded. INDEX"
The reconstruction scheme would not fail
because Of any action General CANDY might
take. Governor WALKER can take his seat
whenever General CANDY or Congress
chooses 20 give it to him, and Congress can
both allow him to do so and admit our mem
bers to their seats in that body without
waiting for the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment. One Congress has, of course,
no mower to bind another, nor to bind itself.
So, if, at its next session, Congress should
choose to admit our representatives, no one
could object.
General CAHBY has no legal or moral
right to put rSsmbcrs into the Legislature
who were not Sected on the 9th of July-no
more than lie has to select the same number
Of men in this city and make Of them a
legislature. Indeed, not so much be-
cause all of these minority candidates have
been voted nqainSt, and arc therefore hnOlr1
not to be fit to represent the people; whereas,
rs to the men picked up on the street, it
could only be said that they have not been
voted for. We cannot imagine that Gene
raj CANDY would for a moment dream OF
doing so disgraccful an act, nor that the
President would allow it to be consumma-
ted. One Of the supplementary rcconstruc-
ton acts says:
"SECTIoN II. That all the provisions OF
this act and the acts to which this is sup
Elementary shall be construed literally, to
the end that all the intcnts thereof may be
fully and perfectly carried out"
This gives General CANDY power to order
new elections to supply vacancies. How
ever, our military commanders never lack
power to Cypress us. They always have
enough for that. 1t is only when we are tc
he benefited that there is a lack of power.
The new constitution, which determines
the number of members to be elected, and
their districts, also provides that the Go
vernon may issue wlits for elections to fill
vacancies happening in recess. If the con,
stitution is authority as TO the number OF
members to be elected, and as to the boun-
diaries of the districts, and as to the qualiti-
cations of members, it ought to be equally
rs good authority in this matter.
