MISCELLANEOUS POLITICAL NEWS.

Politics in GeorSia-Shall Muck be Run
Against the Radicals by IneligfbIess
The Georgia press does not seem to be united
upon the subject Of adopting Judge Stephens re-
commendation, to wit. that ineliRibles be sent to
Washington, and there bang away at the doors Of
Congress until they are admitted, or, what Is more
likely, obliged to retire without obtaining seats.
The Rome (Ga.) Courier has some sensible remarks
on this subject a few OF which we quote. The ap-
plicatiOn can be made elsewhere than In Georgia.
Referring to Judge Stephens letter 1t says
We differ from his opinion that II would be better
for us to remain for ever unreprcsented than that
we should be misrepresented by men who can take
the oath or can get relieved from 1t. The State
OF Kentucky is represented by men who have been
relieved from the operations OF that oath, and we
have no better friends than can be found In that
delegation. Hon. Peter NJ. Dox, OF Alabama, has
been admitted under the provisions OF the law, ana
he makes true and tried representative-so true
and so tried that the glorious old democracy
Of the Filth Alabama district has renOminated
him. The young Georgian Mr. Connor, now OF the
rising State OF Texas, was admitted and Is now
DONG service to his native South by boarding
the radical lion In his den. And so, too, can II be
with our State. There are men eligible-nen who
can even take the test Oath-who would make faith
1u, true and able representatives. Let US send
them. and If the thuDderng can be done at all it
can be done al home without the risk OF jeOpardiZ-
ing the best interests OF our people, We want men
in Congress- not men knocking at the door ana
We fear that 1t unfortunate for the democratic
party that MI. Stephens was selected as its exccu-
tive chairman, certainly II is unfortunate that lie
should have written his letter.

EXCITING SCENE.

Chase md Desperate Struggle.
The Chicago Tribune OF Wednesday has the fol-
lowing:-
Alexander Dutton, proprietor OF the livery stable
in the OF the Sherman House. who is old and
well-known resident OF this city, was suddenly and
quite unaccountablY afflicted with mental derangc-
ment on last Monday. He came to the barn at the
usual hour in the morning, and soon began to show
symptoms OF mental alteration, which shortly de-
yeoped into unmistakable proofs OF insanity. Mr..
Dutton is man of prodgious physical strength and

however, and with kind words he Kept in pretty

afternoon he was quite doce, and the officers
allowed him the privilege of the Sherins office
in the basement. He seemed well pleased
with the arrangement, and for a time amused him

Imaginary people. But suddenly a great change
came over him. His eyes began TO look fierce and
suddenly, to the sarprise of half dozen bailifs

with yell, sprang through the window. He carried

nently reduced, and the interest ceases for all
time to come.
Ny wish is that the Legislature shall provide
some way to ntilize the balance, which cannot
be prevented from accumulating, and l commit
the subject to their wisdom.
BOND OF THE TREASURER.
The bond now required of the Treasurer is
$4,000. III any bond can furnish the State ad-
ditional security where the officer has at stake
not only his reputation, but his character for
the faithful performance of a public trust, then
this bond is ridiculously Inadequate as o safe
guard to the State. To secure such safeguard
through this agency, the bond should be largely
increased, and recommend that it DC raised to
a sum not less than $3.50, 900.
CREDIT OF THE STATE.
The vocation of those who once insisted that
our debt could never be paid ended the moment
we began to reduce its total. In like manner
the people will not be apt to believe those who
insist that our financial affairs are mismanaged,
in the face of the inexorable fact that Pennsyl-
yania maintains credit in every money market
and on stock exchange superior to that of any
State in the American Union.
am justified, l hope, in congratulating the
Legislature on the excellent condition of our
finances; on the fact that the estimated reve-
nues are sufficient for the current year; that no
increase of taxation is necessary; that the pros
perity of the people renders the usual income
sure, and that, under this prosperity, we are
each year paying, without distress to our citi-
zens the great debt bequeathed to us by the last
generation.
The Legislature has cast upon it the RESPONSE
bility of levying all taxes, by means of which
money flows into the Treasury. By their direc-
tion alone can any money be paid out AS they
have the responsibility of providing ways and
means, and directing all expenditures, so, too,
have they right to all the honor which must
flow from the successful working of our finan-
cial affairs Economy in legislation relating to
expenditures on their part and an intelligent
management on the part of the executive officer
whom they choose to collect AID manage the
revenue, now seem to be the only things neces-
sary to enable Pennsylvania to speedily pay off
the residue of her once enormous debt, and to
assume q position OF prosperity which shall
render her alike the pride of her own people
and the envy of her sister States.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
r. w. MACKEY,
State Treasurer.

The TeIeErapIIic Strike.

Special Despatch to The EUeni'g Telegraph.
New YORK, Jan. THE Bankers and
Brokers' Telegraph Company was this morning
officially notified by the Telegraphers' Protective
League that they must stop sending aud receiv-
ing the business of the Western Union Com
pany. 1t appears that the Bankers and Brokers
is in great measure owned and controlled by
the Western Union, which has been using it to
help them out of their present difficulties. The
Bankers and Brokers line operators are nearly
all members of the League, and if the company
persists in doing the business of the Western
Union they will strike at moments notice
when ordered to do so by the Grand Chief Ope-
rator of the League.
despatch was received here this morning at
the headquarters of the strikers, dated Freeport,
Ill., stating that the operators of the Northern
Division of the Illinois Central Railroad, held n
meeting last night and resolved to sustain the
strikers and give them all the material aid in
their power.

A Relic Of Port Royal.

Relic of Port Royal.
Special Despatch to The Erentng Telegraph.
Boston, Jan. 6.-The U. 8. steamer Wabash,
AZ guns now undergoing repairs at the navy
yard here was ifssthe thickest of the fight in the
great naval bombardment of the forts at Port
Royal in November, 1861 taking the lead, as the
fag-ahip of Commodore Dupont. At one time
she was within six hundred yards of the Rebel
batteries. The shot from Fort Walker pene-
trated her hull in several places, and consider
able number lodged in her timbers, besides cut
ting off her mainnast and disabling one gun.
on Monday the workmen extracted two solid
shot from her frame-one shot from q ten-inch
Columbiad, which entered beneath the waters
edge, abaft the mainmast; the other a six-inch
32-pounder shot, from another portion of her
hull; both being on the starboard side, which lay
next to Fort Walker. The wood of the vessel
adhered to portions of the surface very closely,
and both of them had very rough and ugly
look. They are to be placed in the Navy Yard
Museum at Boston, and will remain valuable and
suggestive souvenirs of the part taken by the
United States navy in the war for freedom"
