HARRISBURG STATESMEN.


The Harrisburg correspondent of the

January 9th, surveyed the political
field at the State Capital, and delivered
himself as follows -
The number of changes in the mem.
bership OF the Legislature is remarka-
Bile. Oot Of total Of 201, only 46 OF
the members Of the last House have
been returned. Harry O'Ncill and
WI. Donaldson, Of Philadelphia, died,
and o. f. Bullard, Of Delaware, ex-
PEELED. This leaves 1862 who were
either defeated for the nomination or
lost their election. Some bright and
shining Legislative lights went out,
and the eloquence Of many a modern
Demosthenes and Cicero is hushed in
political death. Conspicuous among
those who fretted and strutted their
brief hour upon tho stage, and then
disappeared from before the footlights,
are the white-plumed Harry Huhn, OF
Philadelphia Chief Justice Rapsher,
Of Carbon Major General Eberhardt,
Of Beaver the stentorian Steinmetz,
of Lancaster the lackadaisical James,
of Northampton Morgan r. Wise, the
gray squirrel statesman OF Greene, and
the magnificent Schnatterly. An ad-
miring and grateful constituency, how
ever, recognizing the eminent worth
and distinguished public services of the
two last named, have branded them
with the legend Excelsior" and the
one will make the halls of Congress
resound with his cloquence, and the
other will command the applause OF
the listening Senate of Pennsylvania.

LOl THE NEGRO.

Republicans in Congress and out ol
Congress are much exercised over the
negro vote of the South. 1t was hoped
that when the war ended and the Re.
publican party won all il asked for
that the " irresponsible conflict" was
ended. But it seems that by their own
acts they have woven the rope which
will probably strangle themselves. Be.
fore the enfranchsement OF the blacks,
only throe-fifths of their number were
counted in the population to determine
the ratio of representation. The Re.
publican amendments, raising them to
the dignity of full citizenship, cntitle
them to full representation. The
trainers of these amendments never
dreamed of such a possibility as the
negroes voting anything but the Re
publican ticket, and expected thus to
largely increase the party representa-
tion in Congress. For many years
this was really SO. Gradually, how
ever, the Carpet-baggcrs nauseated
even the stomachs of their colored pro-
teges, and one by one they lost caste
and were kicked out of Office and out
of the South, as they well deserve to
be. No one attempted to apologize
for their shameless conduct, save here
and there disappointed ofiice.holder
or bitter pai tlsan.
The return Of the South to the Demo-
cratic rule has transferred the repre-
scntation of those States almost entire
to the Democratic side of Congress,
and now the Republicans have awak-
ened 10 the fact that by their own
head-long race for power they have
drawn the moose tighter about their
own nccks than their opponents ever
could have done for them, and are
casting about for a remedy to save
themselves from death by shangula-
tion. Exactly how TO attain this saliva.
tion is debatable question, though it is
highly probable that, failing in having
Republican Supervisors OF elections and
Republican Returning Boards appoint
ed in every Southern State under the
protection of the military arm of the
Government, they will make a desper-
ate effort TO disfranchise the entire
negro voting population in the Union.
So the negro had better vote the Re-
publican ticket right straight along If
he wants to be numbered among the
citizens of the United States, with the
full measure of civil and political rights
and privileges enjoyed by his white
brother. OF course, there is no intimi-
dation in this.-Norrietoon Defender.

The New CouRT.-The Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania met in Phila-
delphia, on the 9th, and organized by
the qualification of George Sharswood
as Chief Justice, in place of Daniel Ag-
new, retiring member, and OF James p.
Sterrett as Associate Judge. Judge
Sharswood, Mercur and Gordon were
elected under the old Constitution,
which made the term fifteen years, and
the new Constitution extended their
commissions from December until the
first Monday of January. Judges Pax
son, Woodward, Turnkey and Sterrett
were elected under the new Constitu-
tion, for the term of twenty-onc years,
commencing on the first Monday Of
January after their election. Each
Judge becomes Chief Justice when the
senior member of the court in commits
sion retires. Judges Paxson and Wood.
ward were elected at the same time
for the same term, and they had to de.
eide by lot which should receive the
junior commission, and thus become
Chief Justice, and 1t was decided in
favor OF Judge Paxson. Should the
Judges all serve out their full terms,
Judge Sharswood will be Chief Justice
for four years, Judge Mercur for FIVE
years, Judge Gordon Tor one year,
Judge Paxsan for seven years, Judge
Turnkey for three years asd Judge
Sterett forone year-,Judge Woodward
being the only member OF the court
who cannot receive the highest honor.

A DRAMATIC SCENE.

In the sensation novel and drama, the
Court. room scene, in which, afler q
searching trial and the rendering Of a
vsydict 81 guilty against the prisoner,
n spectator startles the Court and audi
cnce by confcssing the crime declaim-
ing the prisoner innocent, has been
worn thread. bare. In real life instan-
ccs of this kind are rare. One occur
red in New York city recently, how
ever, which had oil the dramatic effect
ivcness which has been given to the
situation by the most imaginative con
.y,yers OF melo dramatic scenes. ,la
the Court of General Sessions, Of New
York, DIR. Orlando Il. Bradford was
found guilty on nm indictment charg
ing him with criminal malpractice, re
sulting in the death of Miss Sarah Vic
toria Conners, in June last. He was
called up recently for sentence, when
he addressed the Court, solemnly pro
testing bis innocence, and alleging that
new evidence in his favor had becn
discovered. Thereupon a strange wo-
man, who had been sitting nnobserved
in the back part Of the Courtroom,
arose and exclaimed 1t is all true.
| confess before God that am guilty,
and that man Is innocent" At this
point the roal.life drama varied from
its dimc-novel prototype. The Judge
(Sutberland) did not order the prisoner
to be released but he expressed his
amazementl and looked to the District
Attorney, who arose and addressed the
Court charging that the prisoner had
added TO his other crimes by hiring the
woman to come into Court with lie.
The woman burst into tears and began
to repeat her story, when the Judge
ordered her to desist, saying "That
will do, madam you have got through
with your part OF the play" Without
further investigation the Court pro-
ceeded to sentence Dr. Bradford to
fourteen and half years, imprison-
ment at hard labor in the State prison.
The woman has since been interviewed
and adheres to her confession, She
says that she transacted business as a
clairvoyapt in Brooklyn that Miss
Conners called upon her for treatment
to hide her shame, and that the treat
mcnt resulted fatally. When she found
her patient in a dying condition she
took her to the house of DR.. Bradford,
and, laying her down on the steps Of
his front door, left her there. Whether
her confession be true or false, the case
is rather remarkable one, and would
seem to deserve further investigation.
