Our Shephcrlstown cotemporary Is out IN

can,ndly own that we work on the other side

the county, in which majority Of course we are
included. The great difference between the
Regisier aud ourselves is that he regards Shop
herlstown as the County, aud VIC canno, bring
our perceptions to the point of agreeing with
him in this respect. As none are 50 blind as
those who will not see, however, we scarcely

Election of Senators.

AERANsAs.-Powell Clayton, Radical, at
present Governor of the State, has been elected
L. S Senator, to succeed Senator Mcdonald.
LoUIsIANA.-Gen. J. r. West, Republican,
has been elected L. S. Senator, to succeed Sena-
tor Harris. This IS considered an Anti
Administration triumph. Col. Casey, related
by marriage to the President, was tue Admin
js;ntion candidate. Gen. IVES; is an ex-officer
Of the L. S Army.
YIRGINIA.-The election Of a Senator to
succeed the Hon. John W. Johnston, will take
place shortly. Judge Johnston well deserves
reelection. lie is a gentleman Of sue capa-
city, as his two or three brief speeches show
at once logical, concise and courteous. We
know Of no man in the State, eligible to the
position, who can better represent the tue
sentiment Of Virginia than Judge Johnston.

Becoming Alarmed.

Some of the Governors Of Northern States
are beginning to perceive the cncroachments
of the Federal government, and are entering
their protests Several of them have recently
invited the attention of their respective Legis-
latures to the attempt to control, by Federal
bayonets, the elections. This means Of intim-
idation was, in the estimation of some, very
well in the Southern states Even Governor
Geary begins to appreciate the danger The
Governor Of Illinois, too, enters a vigorous pro-
test against a proposition mooted to put the
railroads Of the country under Federal control,
and deems it necessary to exhort the Radical
Legislature Of that state to revive the affec-
ton and respect of the people for the govern
ment Of the States" and to influence the
Federal government TO coufne its action to the
strict limits Of the Constitution.
This returning reason ausurs well for the
liberties Of the people.
