While in command Of the city of Sa-

CAREER AS GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Emerging from the war of the re-
bellion with an honorable record,
which was not hidden in any degree
from the world, General Geary re,
entered political life as a Radical Re-
publican, and was quite enthusiast
cally nominated for governor of Penn
sylvaniain the summer Of 1866. He
was elected over the Hon. Hester
Clymer By a majority OF l7,l7S, in a
total vote of 567, $40. At the cxpira-
ton of term he was re- nominated with
out much show of opposition, his op-
ponent this timc being the Hon. Asa
Packer. AT the election held in DC.
tooer, 1869, the vote as officially an
nounccd stood 200, ,552 for Gcary, to
2S5,o56 for Packer--a majority Of
only 1896 Tor Geary in total vote OF
5I5,50S. Henry W. Williams, the
Republican candidate for judge of the
supreme court, received a majority Of
S,79l, and there have been assertions
that Geary was actually defeated by
the Legitimate vote cast ut the clcc
ton. 9a4 aai HHea 3y-is glJl
He had been invited to be present
at complimentary dinner which was
given in Philadelphia on Friday night
to General Provost and his staff. He
had signi6ed his acceptance of the in.

evening a telegram was received from
him, dated Mauch Chunk, stating that
unavoidable engagements had prevent
ed his being present. 10 hi b8l

Geary had three children, one OF whom
died in Infancy, another was killed in
the battle Of Wauhatchine, aud tho
remaining one is now a cadet at the
West Point military academy, in the

Der, 1858, he was again married, to
Mrs Mary G. Henderson, daughter OF

Facts are said TO be stubborn things.
In proof OF our assertions we invite
you 10 a candid consideration of what
follows. The amount of pine timber
cut on the Susquehanna river and its
tributaries, for the past five years,
would probably exceed annually five
hundred million $500, 600, ,OO0) feet.
Should this same amount be cut an.

amount TO two billion five hundred

THE BLUNDERERs.

We have steadily contended that the
Democratic administration of affairs in
Tennessee has not only been failure, but
a regular succession of ineXcusable blum
ders. If those controlling affairs were a
set acknowledged blockheads, their want
of brains would hardly justify the want of
purpose they have exhibited. The first
Democratic Legislature blundered through
months, drawing their per diem, drink
ing mean whisky and repeating laws
passed by their Republican prede-
cessors. They repealed the school law and
for four years the poor children of the
State were without the benefits of educa-
ton. This was not only blunder-it was
black shameful crime. Their own or
gans are beginning to acknowledge what
has been said about laundering incapacity.
The same Legislature that rendered itself
Infamous by repeating the school law,
elected Henry Cooper to the United States
Senate. He is good clever sort of man,
thut hasscarcely been heard from. Here is
via the Memphis appeal says of him:
Cooper has filled his seat for two years
and has been as dumb as an oyster. He
sits erect in his seat like block of wood,
but his head seems to be as devoid of brains
as the boots upon his feet. No man in
the United States Senate ever made such a
barren and empty record. He is as stolid
as Winnie Ream's statue of Lincoln, and
as useless as Beau Hickman. He debates
nothing, proposes nothing, and is as in
consequential in all things as the cushion
ed chair on which he lazily wastes his
worthless life. In order to show his pow
erty-stricken character, and the utter want
of ability, we intend to sift the chaff of the
congressional debates to see how many
grains of wheat we can winnow from
COoper's record.
This, be it remembered, is from lead
ing organ of the party that elected him.
| This is the man taken up to beat Andy
johnson, because Andy had been loyal to
| the Government.
But this is only one of their smallest blum
ders. If Cooper is dummy, he is honest
no doubt; but this can not be said of all
others who have been elevated to place
and position by the corrupt Democratic
leaders in Tennessee. The Union ana
american can not understand the logic
whereby the Democratic administration o
the State government has earned a reputa
ton for laundering, but even that ole
grandmother will get her eyes open soon
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1873-06-18

domination of such spirit, no matter
by what man or sect it is exhibited.
We are among those who be-
lieve that the actions of some of the
churches did much to bring on the late
war, and with the lessons of the past, the
country should look with suspicion on the
acts of such pious agitators and canting
hypocrites as we have mentioned. If the
people will get together and live together
in harmony and peace as they have done
and will do, those who make use of their
position as Christian ministers to keep up
most unnatural and unchristian excite
ment, will find their occupation gone, and
will either return to the mire where their
conduct would consign them or else learn
to respect enlightened public opinion.
