The Bedford Inquirer disco irses,
week after week, on the tariff question,
iu the hope of making a little capital
for its party. Thedulnessof its dis
quisitions is varied only by the strik
ing inconsistencies which they present.
15 one breath the editor lauds his par
tisans in Congress for reducing thedu
ties on tea and coffee so as to save $60,-
0 P<>,IHO IU the consumers. In the nest
j,e or*!- - them for attempting to in
crease the duties on other articles so as
to add $60,000,000, or more, per annum,
to the burden of indirect taxation.—
Tea and coffee are classed among the
htxvries\; iron, copper, cottor and wol
len fabrics, salt, sugar, Ac., are among
t|| (vtsities. The would-be aristocrat
of the Inquirer proposes to allow arti
cles of luxury to be imported at a low
rate of duty, but would impose a high
tax on those imj>ortations which are
necessary to the comfort and happiness
of the great mass of the people. He
wou'd tax the iron and steel in the
miner's pick and shovel, in the farm
er's plough and spade and axe, in the
mechanic's plane and saw and hammer,
in the manufacturer's machinery; he
would levy a duty on the flannels and
cassimeres, calicos and muslins which
clothe the people; he would extract the
ivor from the meat of the day laborer
by taxing salt out of his reach ; but as
for Mr. Silkstocking's coffee and Mrs.
Whitekkl's tea, let them come in scot
free. In the face of all this, he claims
that his party is the friend of the poor
nan! His impudence is as astound
,.'.g as his inconsistencies are glaring.
In one of his articles, this wonder
ful political economist takes occasion
to insult the Kemble Coal and Iron
Company and the Coal oj>erators of
Broad Top, by intimating that they
are mere pensioners upon the bounty
of the Federal Government and that
their profits consist only of the taxes
wrung from the people by an exorbi
tant tariff. This is what he says:
"The removal of the duties which
now foster our manufactures would, in
a few months, stop the furnace at Rid
dlesburg, close the mining operations
in Broad Top and consign us to the
poverty and idleness of Lie free-trade
era of years ago."
Now, this is simply false. Nature
has so endowed the fuv< red region of
Broad Top that the fortunate capital
ists who have invested, and who may
hereafter invest, in the coal and iron
business in that section, are, and will
be for all time to come, entirely inde
pendent of the alms of the Federal
Government. Furnaces will flourish
here because the iron ore is the best in
the world and the coal to smelt it is
convenient. Coal operations will
henceforward be remunerative because
the furnaces will afford them a certain,
unikirm and continual market. the
Inquirer in declaring that the success
of the furnace at Itiddlesburg depends
t-oley on the contingency of a continu
ance of the present duty on iron, lias
dealt the material interests of Bedford
county a severer blow than if it had
said, in so many words, that the in
vestment of capital iti tiie iron busi-
ness in this region is a precarious ven
ture. It has, in effect, advised capital
ists t fiat the successful manufacturing
of pig iron in Bedford county, depend
altogether on the charity of the Fed
eral Government. It will not do,
therefore, for the Inquirer , in the face of
thisgrave bluuder(to call it by noharsh
er nainei to charge the GAZETTE with
"opposing the best interests of all our
raiiroad, mining and manufacturing
interests." The GAZETTE declares that
tiie God of Nature intends this region
to be the sea': of prosperous iron works.
The Inquirer denies that the natural
advantages of our section are such as
to ensure a fair return to the capital
ist on his investment; it -corns "the
Divinity that shapes our ends" and af
fects to believe that the protils of the
Bedford county iron-master w ill only
be the crumtH that fall from the Con
gressional table; it would have the
world to believe that our iron men and
coal operators must he mendicants
crawling at the feet of Congressmen
and exposing their sores to be licked
by the dogs of the lobby. The GA
ZETTE has a better opinion of the spir
it and intelligence of the enterprising
men who are engaged in developing
the hidden wealth of our hills and val
leys and a much higher appreciation
of the intrinsic value of that dormant
wealth soon to be vivified, tariff or no
tariff. With this correct statement of
the case, we are quite willing that a
discriminating public shall decide
which of us (in tiie interesting rhetoric
of the Inquirer, opposes most "the
best interests of all our railroad, niiu
* T1
ing and manufacturing interests.
Napoleon has conceded something to

AX IxrAllot A FRAVO.
During the whole of the present ses
sion of the legislature, a contested e
lection case from the First Senatorial
District of Philadelphia, known as the
Diamond-Witt case, has dragged its
slow length along. It has been prov
ed by Mr. Diamond, th - contestant,
(who was the Democratic candidate)
that the board of return judges refused
to jceive and count the returns from
a number of precincts which gave him
(Diamond) upwards of 400 majority.
By this outrageous proceeding Watt,
Republican, was given the certificate
of election, and has been enabled to
hold the seat, thus far, in defiance of
the will of the people. In order to
overcome the 400 majority for Dia
mond in the rejected precincts, witnes
ses have been brought before the com
mittee at Harrisburg to swear that
their residence was in Baltimore and
New York at the time of the election
and that they were hired to go to Phil
adelphia to vote in the names of resi-
dents of that city. On the testimony
of these self-confessed scoundrels, Mr.
Watt principally rests his case, and a
great cry lias been raised in conse
quence, by the Republican press, that
the Democrats committed great frauds
at the election of Philadelphia. But
the Republican editors hallooed before
they were out of the woods. The po
lice were set upon the track of the
knaves who were brought to Harris
burg as witnesses for Mr. Watt. They
were ferreted out and found to be pick-
pockets and bawdy-house pimps, who
deliberately prepared themselves for
pay. Their testimony was contradic
ted by the very best tnen in Philadel-
phia, by W. V. McKern, editor of the
Ledger, by Charles \V. Brooke, Esq.,
Robert E. Randall, Esq., John I. Rog
ers. Esq., and other prominent citizens
of the First Seoatoral District. The
scoundrels thus contradicted claimed
t;> reside at certain places ir. New York
and Baltimore and to l>e engaged in
certain brandies of business. The
persons by whom they swore they
were employed have since been exam-
ined on oath, and in every instance
the alleged employer testified that he
knew no such persons, and police detec
tives, having been put on the stand,
have sworn that no such persons as
WattS witnesses reside, or ever re
sided, at the places they gave as their
residence. It turns out, therefore,
that this testimony of these self-con
victed knaves, was manufactured out
of tlie whole cloth to meet the neces-
sitiesofMr. Watt's case. But perjury
alone would not keep the sitting Sen
ator in his seat. The perpetration of
the twin crime of forgery was neces
sary. The Republican Return Inspec
tor of the Seventh Division of the
Third Ward of Philadelphia, was put
on the stand by Mr. Diamond, and
sworn that the hourly returns of that
Division, which was In his own hand
w iting, tuts been altered so as to add
one hundred v'Aes to Mr. WatVs number
more than he received! In the face of
the infamous swindle by which the
return judges cheated Mr. Diamond
out of 400 votes, in the face of the no
torious perjury of the pimps and pick
pockets brought to Harrisburg to
swear for Watt, ir. the face of the forg
ery by which one hundred votes were
given to Watt more than he re
ceived, the Repuplican papers, our
near neighbor among them, have the
hardihood to talk about "Democratic
frauds." They should hide their face
in shame.
THERE is an ancient aphorism that
what is sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander. The Inquirer of last week
maliciously seeks to injuie the good
naineof Hon. A. 11. Coffroth, our form
er represen ative in Congress, by insin
uating that he appointed military and
naval cadets for a consideration. Gen.
Coffroth has publicly denied this
c'targe, over his own signature, and in
the absence of proof to the contrary
h s denial must stand as his vindica
tion. But the Inquirer , whilst it ma
lignantly attacks Gen. Coffroth, for
having, {as it asserts) appointed cadets
outside of his district, is dumb as an
oyster in regard to the conduct of John
Covode, who could not ffnda Republi
can youth in Fayette, Westmoreland
and Indiana, Httedtobea cadet, but
had to go to Philadelphia to appoint
a son of the rich and radical Remak.—
Will not the Inquirer give us a chap
ter on cadet-auctioneer Covode?
As the Inqub tr appears to have a se
vere attaek of the Tariff fever, we
would recommend the editor to try a
few of Allison's pills, the same to be
washed down with Stevenson's bitters.
These are Western preparations, re
eentiy put up by two Free Trade Re
publican rum Iters of Congress. They
will prove an excellent febrifugeln the
ease of the Lnjitirer man. If these are
too nauseous, there are various kinds
of Anti-Tariff lozenges prepared by
some fifty different Republican Con
gressmen which uiignt effect a cure.
Take a few, Bro. Luta, and you will
feel better.

THE RI.AFK JHU.ESHIVX.
U. S. Grant, who was elected on the
platform of the right of the people of
the Staes to regulate and control the
elective franchise for themselves, has
just issued a proclamation declaring
the Fifteenth Amendment, (by which
all power to decide who shall and who
shall not vote, is taken from the peo
ple) to be a part of the Constitution of
the United States. This proclamation
stamps the Chicago Platform of the
Republican party, as a lie, a delusion,
a snare, a deliberate and audacious
swiudle, and brands every Republican
politician, every Republican stump
speaker, and every Republican news
paper, as guilty of the most outra
geous tnckery, deception and
falsehood. For the Chicago Plat
form declares that in all the loyal
Statts the people shall control the suf
frage question for themselves, and the
Republicans,stum}-speakers and news
papers have always made it a point to
deny that their party intended to force
Negro Suffrage on the country by con
stitutional amendment.
The occasion will furnish the Repub
lican party a double reason for gratu
lation. The white members of that
organization may congratulate each
other on the success of their scheme
to defraud the people by manipula
ting and coercing legislatures. The
black wing will hold its jubilee
to rejoice its enfranchisement. Be
it understood that we do not
grudge the negro any of his newly
acquired privileges. It is not his fault
that the people have been swindled
out of the right they have hitherto
possessed to control and regulate the
exercise of the elective franchise. He
is entirely innocent and is not at all
blameworthy for enthusing over his
own enfranchisement at the expense
of the loss of a right by the people iu
general.
But we do condemn, denounce, ana
thematise, the corrupt and designing
demagogues, who, in order to use the
negro at the ballot-box, have wrested
from the people of the States thegreat
right bequeathed to them by the
founders of *he Government and en
joyed by them unmolested until the
present hour. Let them be anathema
maranatha!

UITI.KR, THE CADET ACCTIOXEEB.
Sixty-eight members of theliouseof
Representees have declared, by their
votes in Butler's case, that theappoint
ment of a cadet for money by a mem
ber of Congress, is not a crime deserv
ing of expulsion, provided he devotes
a portion of his dishonest gain to the
"cause of God and radical morality "
They have repented of the momentary
expression of honesty by which the
saintly VVhittemore was driven from
Congress to the bosom of his sable con
stituents,and by their votes have shown
their willingness to receive him with
open arms. That he will return is as
certain as it is that cot one in twenty
of the negro voters of his district will
ever learn of his offeuse, or will appre
ciate it, if he do.
Not less than twelve of the sixty
eight members of Congress voting a
gainst Logan's resolution to expel R.
R. Butler are from Pennsylvania.—
Their names are Armstrong, Cake,
Cessna, of this district, Cotode , Dick
ey, Keiley, MorrelI y Myers, Mercur,
Neg ley, Phelps and Townsend. Hon.
John B. Packer, with Messrs. Donley,
O'Neill and Schofleld voted with the
democrats for expulsion.
Twelve out of sixty-eight are much
more than Pennsylvania's fair share of
tiie dishonor of keeping this cadet auc
tioneer in Congress. It is out of all
proportion, but it indicates the stand
ard of public honor which prevails a
mong the radical politicians of this
Slate. It is shamelul that nearly one
tifih of tiie entire number of those who
sustained this Tennessee trafficker in
appointments should come from Penn
sylvania.
For the time in this (Ungraceful
cadet business the old Westmoreland
fox, John Covode, cornea out of his co
vert, and votes squarely No on the
expulsion of . utler. "A fellow feel
ing makes us wondrous kind." But
ler, according to the testimony of (Jen
eral Este, received one thousand dol
lars for his appointment Millward
obtained a tike sum for Covode's notn
intioQ of an Oriental named lieuiak.
When Covode's turn shall come up, he
will want the votes and sympathy of
Butler and his friends, and could,
therefore, no longer afford to dodge
If butler had been expel led for bis con
duet, nothing could shield Covode from
expulsion except Millward'* thin sick
bed story that the Chairman gut none
of the money ; and that would hardly
go down among members of Congress
by whom ex-Marshal Millward is al
most as well known as Covode, him
self. It was the danger to Covode that
rallied so uiany members from Penn
sylvania in behalfo' Tennessee Butler.
This was the appeal that made twelve
of them vote against his summary ex
pulsiou. "Honest John" was in den-
ger. He had appointed a cadet from
the far East, because in all his district,
among all the sons of his radical con
stituents, he could not find a youth of
sufficient spirit andfintelligence to send
to West Point. There was danger that
this pillar of righteousness would be
thrown to the ground in the fall of But
ler on account of the ignorance of his
radical constituents, and this is the rea
son why such zeal was shown by the
Pennsylvania members in behalf of the
Tennessee cadet auctioneer. This it
was which won the vote of Cessna,
with all that nice sense of honor for
which he is so distinguished. Nothing
else could have induced the chivalrous
Negley to vote in favor of Butler than
love for Covode. Morrell could notaf
ford.to lose the counsel o t a political e
conoinist of his knowledge and erudi
tion, and this secured his vote. Dick
ey would have been rendered disconso
late by the expulsion of one in w hose
society he enjoys so many pleasant
hours. Thus it was that the love with
Which John Covode has inspired his
fellow radical members from Pennsyl
vania has been made to contribute to
the safety of Butler of Tennessee. Co
vode may now consider his hide pretty
safe. Twelve members from Pennsyl
vania have made a great sacrifice for
him. They have declared by their
votes in Congress that the sale of a ca
detship is no crime, if a fair portion,
only, of the money is spent for the
good of the radical cause. Noble
Twelve! Fortunate Covode in having
so many admirers from Pennsylvania!

WASHINGTON, March 29.
The San Domingo treaty was again
considered in the United States Senate
in executive session, yesterday. The
President sent a special message to the
Senate in the announcing that he
had obtained from Baez a thirty days
extension ol the time for the ratifica
tion of the treaty. It is thought that
this news will increase the chances for
indefinite postponement. Little of in
terest was transacted in the open ses
sion of the Senate. Mr. Drake endeav
ored to hurry up the consideration of
the bill admitting Texas. The Radi
cals are very nervous about Connecti
cut, and, as the President refuses to
proclaim the fifteenth amendment un
til Georgia and Texas ar-i readmitted,
an effort will be made to ru>h the bills
through this week, in order to gain
the negro vote in Connecticut next
Monday.
In the House of representatives res
olutions favoring the imposition of a
ten per cent, tax on United States
bonds, and declaring that the Bible
should not be driven from the public
schools were virtually defeated by the
refusal of the House to second the pre
vious question. The Tariff bill wasde
bated in committee during the after
noon and evening sessions. Hon. S. S.
Cox of New York, delivered a power
ful argument against the fallacies of
the pig-iron party.
WASHINGTON, March 30.
Texas was pushed through the United
States Senate yesterday, the Radicals
having suddenly taken the alarm a
bout the negro vote in Connecticut, and
the delay in the fifteenth amendment
proclamation. The bill was sent to the
House, where Butler made an ineffec
tual attempt to put it on its passage.
It was referred to the Reconstruction
Committee, which will probably report
to-day. In the House, after asparring
between Generals Sioeum and Logan
upon the staff featureof the Army bill,
the debate was resumed in committee
upon the tariff bill, and Mr. Marshall,
of Illinois, made an elaborate speech a
gainst the protection swindle. The
Senate was in executive session tor
some hours on the Sail Domingo trea
ty-
WASHINGTON, March 31.
The President sent a message to Con
gress yesterday, announcing the pro
mulgation of the ratification of the
fifteenth amendment to the Conslitu
tion, and appending the certificate of
the Secretary of State. The message
which is an absorb bit of clip-clap, and
quite uncalled for, characterized the
ratification as a measure of grander
importance than any of the kind from
the foundation of the government, and
called on Congress to do ail In its pow
er to encourage popular education
throughout the country. The amend
ment thus declared to he part of the
Constitution owes its existence to the
pretended ratification by the States of
New York, Indiana and Georgia, and
the Southern States which have been
under duress since the close of the war.
The Radicals may howl with delight,
but forall that they are conscious that
the validity of the amendment is in
doubt.
After a short open session yesterday
the Senate doors were closed, and the
consideration of the San Domingo
treaty was resumed. Mr. Casserly, of
California, spoke against the job, and
Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, in favor of it.
The House of Representatives receiv
ed the bill admitting Texas to repre
sentation in Congress from the Recoil
struction Committee, and passed it by
a strict party vote. Mr. Lawrence
(Had.) announced that the passage of
the bill was necessary in order to se
cure the immediate proclamation of
the fifteenth amendment. The act
was forwarded at once to theexeeutive
Mansion, and in less than two hours a
messenger appeared with the Presi
dent's message, announcing the desir
es! proclamation. Mr. Woodaroseand
denied, emphatically, that New York
had ratified the amendment. Mr. Ni
black also pronounced the represenia
tiou that Indiana had ratified the a
mendment to be a fraud. The Radi
cals attempted to refer the nessage to
the Judiciary Committee, but the Dem
ocrats were determined to have it de-
bited, and, showing a disposition to
filibuster, it was finally agreed to
lay it on the table for future action.—
The House then went into committee
upon the Tariff bill.
WASHINGTON, Apr. 1.
Texas got back into the Union yes
terday, but for how long is uncertain.
The instant she exhibits Democratic
tendencies Congress will begin to talk
of reconstructing her over again. Sen
ators Flanigan and Hamilton were ad
mitted in the Senate, and four repre
sentatives from the State in the House.
Objection was made by Butkr to Mr.
Conner (Dem.), ostensibly because he
was cruel to soldiers during the war
and d enounced certain acts of Congress
in his campaign speeches. Butler
wished to have the case referred to the
Committee on Elections and have his
accusations examined. Mr. Stevenson
of Ohio,Mr.Ortn of Indiana, and other
Radicals denounced Butler's proposi
tion that the House could go back two
or three years prior to a member's e
lection and inquire into his moral or
military conduct, especially on the as
sumption of expurte affidavits, as un
precedent and preposterous. Butler
was badly beaten, there being only
twenty-one votes in favor of his
motion. Afier Mr. Conner had taken
the oath, he rolled up bis sleeves and
gave the spoon connoisseur a hand
some flaying. The House, in commit
tee, resumed consideration of the Tar
iff bill, and Mr. Schenek closed the
case for the Ways and Means Com
mittee in a long speech. In the San
ate, the admission of carpet-bag
Ames was under discussion until the
hour of adjournment, several Seuators
taking part. Amen will probably lie
admitted by a party vote to-day.
