How CESSNA ENGINEERED THE CHoRPEN-
MING FKAUD.-Those who know Cessna
know him to be lawyer fertile in rascally
cxpedients He combines within himself
all the bad qualities of the notorious firm of
Quirk, Cannon & Snap, imnortalized in
Warreu's Ten thousand Year" He
was the very man to engineer the Chorpen-
aing fraud through Congress. The Wash
iuston Patriot tells how he managed the job.
1t says:
"Ou the l4th of July, Mr.. Cessna. not a
member of the Committee on Post Offices,
succeeded by his personal Misrepresentation
in passing joint resolution SO artfully drawn
as to conceal its design, and predicted upon
the basis Of the law of 1857, which was itself
fraud upon Congress. and so exposed by
Postm asteTG eueral Brown. No human be-
ing but the interested parties could under
stand the scope of MIR. Cessna's plundering
scheme, and il was 50 well managed that all
debate WAS prevented, and no call OF the
yeas and nays could be obtained. All the
preparations had been made for expedition.
The bill was engTOSsed in advance. hurried
to the Senate, sent back with an amendment.
re-passed, and was the first thing signed and
reruTned by the President next morning.
All this occurred bstween P. N. and 9 A.
NJ. of the ensuing last day of the session."

With the signature of the Governor it be-

Judge Taylor and the Tribune

JUDGE TAYLOR has been so unfortunate
as to incur the enmity of the editor of the
Johnstown Tribune. In an article of last
weeks issue of that paper, the well known
character Of Judge Taylor for judicial integ-
rity was violently assailed and several heavy
accusations preferred against him. We only
hope that the Judge will. be able to survive
the onslaught. 1t seems that the editor has
heard report that Judge Taylor requested
r. Bruce Pstriken. Senator from the Hunt
ingdou district, as personal favor, to aid in
passing through the Senate the new bill in
relation to the District Court of Johnstown. 8.
and that Petriken did so. Was there any
thing either morally or judcially wong or
censnrable in this If Judge Taylar be-
lieved that the provisions of the bill were
wise, aud that they met the emergency
which has arisen in reference 20 that Court,
had he not perfect right to say 50 to NJ
Petriken, and ask him to give it his support
This appears TO have been the head and
front of Judge Taylor's offending. and for
this natural and harmless conduct on his part
he has been forcely assaiied by the editor OF
the Tribune, without cause or reason. Any
person who is at all conversant with Judge
TayIor'S well known aud high opinion OF
Mr. Morrell and his well known devotion to
his political advancement, will laugh at the
idle insiruation, that he (Judge Taylor)
aided or in the most remote way contributed
to tbs defeat of Mr.. Morrell at the election
for Congress in Huntingdon county last Oc-
tOber.

THE result of the recent election through
out France has been most surprising, and is
not what was expected. 1t ID estimated to
have resulted in at least two thirds vote in
favor of a monarchy, not one third of the
members elected to the Constituent Assem-
bly, being in favor of republic. The friends
of the late Emperor succeeded in electing
only few members. The contest for the
choice Of king will be between the adhe-
rents Of the BOurbons and the supporters Of
the Orleanists, with the chances greatly in
favor of the latter. 1t is conclusively settled
by this election, that the French people are
strongly opposed to a republican form of
government, just as Spain declared herself
TO be only a few months ago. The results
of the future can alone determine the wis
dom of their choice.

THE Supreme Court of this State, now
holding its session at Philadelphia, rendered
decision last week in reference to the con-
stitutionaity of the law, erecting the Dis,
trict Court Of Camhr county at Johnstown.
The decision is GdcerSe to the legal right of
Judge Tay lor. as the President Judge of
this district, as also the same right by the
two Associate Judges, Easily and Murray,
and of j. *. Hte, E'q.. Prothouotary of
said Court. to exercise the duties of their re-
spective oflicial positions. as officers of said
District Court. This decision was auticipa-
ted, after the same Court some time ago had
disposed of precisely the same question in
relation to the Recorders Court of Scranton
in Luzerne county. We have not yet been
able to get copy in full of the opinion of
the Court, but when we do so, will publish
it for the information Of our readers. Meth
er can we say at this writing "wednesday
what effect the decision of the Court may
have on Mr. Roses supplementary bill iu
relation to the same Court, which we pub
lished two weeks ago, and which is now il
the hands Of Governor Geary for his appro-
val or rejection. Before our paper goes to
press we hope to be able to announce the
conclusion at which he has arrived.

INCIDENTs OF HUMAN NATURE The y.
I. Tribune mentions a couple of incidents
houorabls to human nature. One, the story
Of poor acrobat out West who was dashed
from bis giddy height to the ground and
who, when the crowd gathered around him,
raised himself. mangled and bleeding. to
gasp out entreaties for them to save the two
girls left unsupported on the trapez7. He
refused to be lifted until they were rescued
and in the agony OF his fall aud shattered
limbs directed how they should be brought
down. When they were safe pain got the
better Of him. and he was carried as dead off
the stage. The women were strangers to
him. The other is Of little girl who wan
dcred on to the track Of the Delaware Rail
road as freight train Of nineteen cars was
approaching. As it turned the sharp top
of the grade, opposite St. Georges, the sngi-
neor saw the child for the first time, blew
Down brakes" and reversed the engine
But it was too late to Stacked its speed in
time, and the poor babe got up, aud laugh
ing ran to meet it. Il told the conductor" ,"
says the engineer. "if he could jump Of the
engine. and running ahead. pick the child
up before the engine reached her he might
save her life, though it would risk his own,
which he did. The engine was within one
foot Of the child when he secured it, and
they both were saved"

CHoRPENSING.-The little game of Choir
pennIng Is Just now attracting considerable
attention. and in common with many we
had supposed that he was, until lately. quite
unknown to fame, though desperately intent
upon scrapiug an extensive acquaintance
with fortune. 1t turns out that Mr. Choir
penning is addicted to little games, and that
the present Congress is not alone in its par
tiality for that gentleman. The Congress
which sat in 1857 passed an act for the re-
lief Of George Ckorpeuning. jr. which act
was approved on the third Of March of that
year by Franklin Pierce. This act required
the post master general to adjust and settle
the claim of Chorpenuing ''fOr damages on
account Of the annulment or suspension Of
Woodward & ChorpenuiDg's contract for
carrying the mail from Sacramento to Salt
Lake" Also to allow and to pay to Cher
