Voice of Pennsylvania.

HARRIsBURG, Pa, Ian. 49, 1875.
For the first time in the history OF this
state the members of both houses wit
messed this morning the inauguration OF a
Lieutenant Governor, IAN entirely new office
created under our new constitution. The
The successful candidate was Mr.. John W.
Latta, who took the oath to-day and be-
came the presiding officer of the senate.
His inaugural address was Of such pecul-
lar and unexpected nature that it took the
Republicans entirely by surprise, and
caused great many of them to wall and
gnash their teeth" He spoke briefly but
with intense earnestness concerning the
Louisiana difficulty. The following are his
exact words:
Pennsylvania has never forgotten her
proud position as the keystone OF the po-
iitical arch, and has always been true to
the Union, to liberty and to free govern
ment and though her proud head is al
most motionless and her tongue partly 81
lent in regard to the wrongs anu inJus
tice done to the freemen OF distant stat
by bold, bad men, who are supported il

of the federal government, yet her grea
heart is true and sends to heaven the pray
ers of nearly four millions of her children
that the rights and liberties of the peopl
of that oppressed commonwealth may 500
be restored A little more patience, lii
tie more endurance of wrong and violenc
by those on whom the affection falls, an
the nations soul will awaken and its heal
respond to the calls of justice. The b,
trayers of trusts, the violators of constitI
tons, the destroyers of legislatures and Il
enemies of free institutions will soon be r
tired from their scenes of action in utt'
dishonor. The rights and interests of a
sections of the country and of all classes
citizens should be alike respected. UI
formity of laws is uniformity in executil
them. Though nearly ten years have con
and gone since the angel of peace spre;
its wings over the land and proclaimed Il
end Of strife, yet no fruits of peace ha
been suffered to ripen in some portions
the Republic The waves of passion al
prejudice, wrong aud violence, still fiji
and ebb across the land disturbing t
calm Of states and preventing the grow
OF the material interests Of the people.
He further remarked that we could ne
er truly celebrate the centennial of Anne
can Independence until peace and orc
had been established in every state of Q
Union. The effect of this address, del
cred, as it was. in the coolest and most
liberate manner, was very marked,

Voice of New Jersey.

Governor Bedle, the recently inaugura-
ted Democratic governor of New Jersey,
referring, in his inaugural, to national af-
fairs, said:
There must be no incumbrance of dead
issues. We are dealing with the living
present and its influence upon the future.
Everything that has been secured by con-
stitutional amendments since the war is
final and out of the region of controversy.
Those amendments guarantee the extinc-
ton of slavery, the citizenship of the color
ed man and his right to vote, the validity
of the public debt of the United States
incurred in the rebellion, and absolutely
prohibit the payment by the United States
or any state of the Confederate debt, or
any claim for the emancipation of slave
Discussion of the manner of their adoption,
or the wisdom of any of them, is worse
than idle As concluded fact in the gov
eminent, those amendments are of the
past, are part of the constitution, and the
obligation to obey them is imperative"
Gov. Bedle urges speedy return to
specie payment, but disapproves of repeal
ing the legal-tender act. About one third
of the address is devoted to the Louisiana
outrage. which the governor condemns in
strong terms. He says:
II do not understand now, from the
Presidents special message, that he con-
dennis the specific act for although stat
ing that he can conceive of no case not in
volving rebellion or instruction where in
reference by authority of the general gov
eminent ought to be permitted or can be
justified, he seeks to extenuate it, and fails
to say, either in express terms or by neces-
sary implication, that it did not meet his ap-
proval. His opinion seems to be that it
about served them right. But on q ques-
ton like this there should be no uncertain
ty. lfthat particular act is not to be taken
rs precedent, and as acquiesoed in by the
administration, the disclaimer should be
unmistakable. For the sake of constitu-
tional government it is hoped that it may
be. Whether so or not, it is nv duty as
the executive of this state to make solemn
protest against that interference"
The governor concludes by recommend
ing that the national government deal kind
ly with the South, which longs for pros
perity and repose. The ceremonies hav-
ing concluded, Gov. Bedle and ex-Gov.
Parker drove in barouche to the state
house, where the governor reviewed the
military.

The New Missouri Senator,

General Cockrell, the newly elected
senator from Missouri, has state
reputation gained in honorable pub
lie service, but beyond his state he is..not
widely known. He was one OF those i'm
pulsive gentlemen who fought for their
rights" and we have pretty good reason to
know that he regards his enterprise as a |
failure. AS a brigadier- general in the
confederate service, he had a good record,
and although his military rank moves the
discomfort Of the Grant papers, we do not
remember that they were at all uneasy IN
mind when the man who has mo policy to
enforce against the will of the people" des-
| ignated;G en-. Longstreetfor an Office Of trust
and emolument.
| Gen ockrell is resident of the western
party of the state; is on the vernal side OF
| fifty; large and comely in figure, and agree
able in face. While he may not supply
the vacancy of the great Missouri senator
of the last half century, he will ill the
lchair with portly presence. GENIAL ana
gentlemanly in address and manner, with
no intolerance toward his native weed or
| constitutional repugnance to the generous
fluids of his state. like the Baron of Brad,
wardine he carries his liquor discreeuy
: and cultivates the graces Of social life. In
8 politics he is of the advance and not of the
' rear guard of his party. He has forgotten
good deal that is of not much use to re-
member, and learned many things thai
I will be salutary in his senatorial lite.

An Idiotic Resolution.


At the session of the Farmers State
Association, at Springfield, last week.
statesman of the name Of Boone-Charles
Boone, of 10 Daviess,-proposed to the
congress the following device of'hnanciaf'
inspiration:
"Rssolyed That 1t shall be the duty Of the gener-
al government to issue nsnon money ahsI he
charged at per cent.to all applicants who will fur
nish security therefor on real estate, under proper
restrictions to prevent fraud; the government TO
receive said money thus issued in exchange for reg
istered bonds, bearing 1865 interest. which BONDS
tonal money on demand"
The Chicago Times wants to know why Mr.
Boone don't proceed to issue such nation
al money" himself? He has as good
right, as good authority, and every bit as
much power to do it as the general gov
eminent" has. Moreover, it is just as
much his duty" to do it as it is the duty
of the political agency at Washington
The way for him to proceed is this: Lei
him first run head-over-ears in debt to ev
cry butcher. baker, shop-keeper, granger
and other party in 10 Dayiess county tina
will trust him. To secure the payment o
his debts, let him issue his bonds, bearing
3.65 per cent. interest, to his said creditors
Having done this, let him issue his ma
tional money" and lend it at per cent
interest, on real estate mortgages, to a
the imitation fnanciers who think the
would like to borrow some of it. Whe
his bondholders come for their pay, he ca
pay them in his national money" an
when the holders of his national money
get tired Of holding it, all they will need I
do is to come to him and get some of hi
bonds in exchange for it.

4 Conspiracy to Assassinats tho President Of
Hayti. Terrible Condition Of Affairs.

Adyices from Hayti state that, on
the evening of the 18th Of the present
month, the night before the annual
agricultural festival, President Dom
Unique was advised Of a conspiracy to
assassinate him on the following day,
with view to re-establishing Mon
plaiser Pierre in the Presidency, sup
ported by General Bryce and General
Caval. Three separate bodies of
troops were sent, to arrest the con-
spirators. General Bryce, residing
Immediately opposite the British Con-
sulate. was the first to be summoned.
he refused to surrender, and with his
revolver brought. down four Haytian
officers before. he was fred upon and
fatally wounded. He crept into the
British Consulate, where he died. A
shot intended for General Bryce
killed q. servant of the British Consul.
When the troops reached the resi-
dence Of Monplaiser Pierre, he resist
ed, and fought within bis own house
until wounded, and retiring to the
attic shot himself through the head.
When General Caval was met, he was
in the vicinity Of the American. Minis
ter's residence, at the head of a body
of soldiers. The General crept into
Mr.. Bassett's, residence, ander the
stars and stripes, where he remains.
The scene which followed these incl
dents is indies cribable. The President,
man of overwhelming passion, di-
rected the arrest Of every person sus-
pected of being implicated. The city
of Port.au. Prince has been placed
.under martial law and several houses
and stores have been piIaged and
burned. No vessel is allowed TO land
n cargo and no merchandise is per-
mitted to be shipped. Intelligence
via Jacmcl, three days, later says that
order was restored a vessel has
been dispatched from Port Royal to
protect fereiy IN subjects.

Some weeks ago Alexander v.
Brewer, of schenectady, lacerntcd a
finger by means of corn cutter. He
was attended by leading physician,
and in due course of time the wound
healed, leaving mark for while of a
pinkish indigo tint. While attending
church subsequently, at the East

occupant asked to see his hand. OBJ
serving the partly healed wound, he
whispered to Brewer in his opinion
the wound had mortified. Brewers
father sat in the scat with him. His
son took. n piece of paper and wrote
thereon, and handed to his father a
request shat they leave church. The
father, on reaching the outside, ask
ed the cause OF the sudden request.
