The WASuINGToN CARNIvAL.--O On
Monday Washington City witnessed a rare
sight, funny enough called a carnival, on
Pennsylvania avenue. It was the formal
opening of that great thoroughfare with its
splendid new Nicolson pavement. The
street was handsomely decorated, and the
sidewalks on either side were crowded with
people, large numbers Of them strangers.
The weather was all that could be desired.
The city was crowded with strangers and
the general enjoyment was great. The
carnival was continued on Tuesday. The
President and family were spectators. Such
@ scene, from its uniqueness attracted great
attention. The number of fast nags and
gay parties was countless. The entire
avenue from one end to the other, was in a
blaze Of glory.

TIE Democrat attempts a reply to q short
article in our previous issue on the "Chor-
penning claim" mail contractor and a
friend Of buchanan & Co., during his ad-
ministration.
The reply does not meet the charges
made, but attempts to excuse the Demo
cratic associates of Chorpenning by the
suppression Of the main facts, and by i'm
plicating Republicans who had nothing to
do with the transaction originally. Mr.
Cessna being the Representative of Mr..
'Chorpening's district, urged the claim, it is
true, but on the representations Of Judge
Black and others who certified to its cor
rectness. But Mr.. Cessna did not remain
silent on the subject, but in a speech next
day exposed the whole matter with the
records of Mr.. Buchanan's approval, as
swell as the recommendations ofJudge Black
md other leaders ofhis administration.
The cvasive denial of the Democrat may
serve its purpose, but cannot deceive intel
ligent readers.

TIE BLACK CRErE COW REeIoN.-

THE BLACK CREEK CokI, REGIoN.--
The completion of the new railroad from
this place to Hazelton, has furnished an
outlet for the coal Of the Black Creek basin
which is n section of the Lehigh basin,
separated from the Eastern market by q
dividing ridge. The Big Black Creek basin
is II miles long, and averages about a half
mile in width. The Little Black Creek
basin is a continuation north aboutseven
miles long and about three eighths ofn mile
wide. There are three or four openings
recently made by Mr. Reuben Rothermel,
of Philadelphia, one of the most experienced
and reliable coal operators of the Schuylkill
region. Some twenty tons Of this coal
reached this place last week, and has given
great satisfaction in its heating qualities,
and its almost entire freedom from slate.
This coal must seek an outlet by means ofthc
Danville, Hazelton & Wilkosbarre Railroad
which connects at this place, with the
Northern Central, and Philadelphia s. Erie
There is no longer any doubt that the coal
from This basin will be carried to Baltimore
and the intervening markets, and in few
years grow up into vast trade, to say
nothing Of the trade over the Erie road
from this place. This alone will be sufi-
cient to make the new road from this place
to Hazeton, one Of the best and most proii-
table roads in the state.

THE TEST OATH REPEAL BILL.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15--Thc following
is the message OF the President vetong the
repeal of the test oath bill:
10 the Senate and House of Representatives:
L have this day transmitted TO the Senate
the announcement that the State bill No.
us, an act prescribing the oath of officers
be taken by persons who participated in
the late rebellion, but who are not disquali-
fed from holding Office by the Fourteenth
Amendment of the Constitution of the
United States, has become 'aw in the
manner prescribed blythe CO. zion with
out the signature of the Pres. e this
were bill for the repeal of th oath,
required of persons elected or t. intcd to
officers of honor or trust it would meet my
approval. The effect of the law. however,
is to relieve from taking prescribed oath
all those persons whom it was intended to
exclude from such officers and to require it
from all others. BY this law the soldier
who fought and bled for his country is to
swear to his loyalty before assuming official
functions, whilst the general who com.
manded hosts for the overthrow of this
government is admitted to place without
it. l cannot atfiX NY name to 4 aw which
discriminates against the upholdcr of his
government. | believe, however, that il is
not wise policy to keep from Office 10y an
oath those who are the choice of legal
voters; but whilst relieving them ofan oath
which they cannot take | recommend the
release, also, OF those to whom the oath has
no application.
(Signed) L. s. GRANT.
