Scbforb ilnquircr. BRBFOBD, PA., FRIDAY APRIL B, 18W. t'OR GOVERNOR. GEN. JOHN W. GEARY. THR VETO OF THE CIVIL KM.llls BILL. We have again to record a veto by the President of one of the mo t important measures, preparatory to the rcadutission ot' the recently rebellious States, that, has yet received the sanction of Congress. His discussion of the bill by sections while appa rently cool and calm, displays a strange aversion to honest reasoning, while hi- de termination to consent to no legislation up on reconstruction until rebels are permitted to participate, crops out in the' very begin ning of his message. In discussing the first section he asks of the freedmen : " Can it be reasonably supposed that they possess the requisite .qualifications to entitle them to all the privileges and immunities of eiti imuship of the United States?" What must we think of the uian who asks this question, when he knows that the section he discusses -imply proposes to give to tbe el&s-. - -iu braced in its provisions, the right to make and enforce contract-, to sue and be sued by parties, and give evidence, to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold and convey real and personal property, and to be entitled to \ the full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of their persons' and property as is enjoyed by white citizens. In other words it amounts to a simple deni al that they who have recently been -laves have now any right to the protection of the laws in their . persons and property. Again he argues that liccause foreigner- are required to he in the country five years be fore they can become citizen-, they who have been horn and grown up to manhood on the soil, should not have the protection of the laws. If any sane man can under stand the force of this logic, he ought* to bo sent to Barnum at once. The discussion of the first section is a fair sample of the char acter of the whole message. The special pleading of the President, against the pro visions for the enforcement of the bill, is sufficiently answered by the statement that they are almost identical with those of the Fugitive Slave law in force a few years ago, but have the advantage that the amend ment abolishing slavery effectually cuts off any objections to the constitutionality of the present bill, but Andy Johnson and the whole Democratic party sustained the con stitutionality of the fugitive slave law, un der the constitution as it then was and can make no plea against similar provisions for the enforcement of a law now. These are the main features of the n.essage and the remaining minor parts" are discussed in the same manner in regard to honesty and can dor. In his concluding remarks he makes the following statement: "The white race and black race of the South have hitherto lived together under the relation of master and slave—-capital owning labor. Now that relation is chang ed, and as to ownership, capital and labor are divorced. They stand now each master of itself. In this new relation, one being necessary to the other, there will be a new adjustment, which both are deeply interes ted in making harmonious. Rich has equal police in settling the terms, and, if left to the laws that regulate capital and labor, it is confidently believed that they will satisfac torily work out the problem." How any man can have the hardihood, at the present time, to stand before the world and declare that the freedmen of the South have equal power with the whites in regula ting the terms of labor, where even the se curity of their persons and property is in many instances denied to the freedmen, while the whites have all the power of mak ing and enforcing such laws against the freedmen as their malice and vindictiveness may suggest, surpasses our comprehension. In view cf the spirit characterizing the present and fonner veto message, we can only conclude that whatever course the President may pursue in other matters, he is determined to do all in his power to throw the work of reconstruction into the hands of the rebels so as to enable them to make their own terms, and compel as to surrender to the rebels, conquered, all the powers and privileges for which they fought. If the people consent to such iniquity as this, for what was all our sacrifices of blood and treasure during four years of bloody, fatri eidal war ? THE CONSERVATIVES AND TIIE COPS. The Copperheads are in ecstacy every where over the position voluntarily assum ed, by one Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, toward the Republi can party, but with all this we do not see that confidence expressed in the aforesaid Andrew, as we have a right to expect them to express. Is it possible that they mistrust Andy ? Or, are they holding off to secure better terms ? Or, might it not be possible that they do not desire to yield the old slave-ocratie organization of Democracy for modern Conservatism headed by men who in the early days of Abolitionism were its principal leaders and advocates. If we un derstand it, the Copperheads, to get into the Presidential boat must drop their dis tinct organization and go over to the Con servatives, they have all the "orfices," as Nasby says, and are, therefore all powerful. Of course the Cops will yield in the end and then wont there be an interesting spec tacle to behold! Imagine the late pro-sla very leaders of Copperheadism marching to the music of Bcecher, Seward, and Ray mond ! It will be one of those singular po litical anomolies that only can occur once in a century. OStA prevalent custom among those who would puhliely pour out their orisons to the Throne of Grace, is to speak of the Deity as a third person, instead of addressing their prayers directly to the Heavenly Fa ther to whom all petitions of this kind should be addressed. There is nothing more annoying to us than to hear an indi vidual praying, and to hear him speak of God, as if he were petitioning his hearers instead of the Fountain of Light and Knowl edge. We are of the opinion that prayers thus addressed never ascend any higher than those to whom they seem to be ad dressed. ANOTHER LEGISLATOR'S DE FENSE. As promised last week, in another col umn will he found the lucid defense of ' en. Ross of the position taken, and so obsti nately held by him on the Railway supple ment, of which our duty has compelled us to speak so very profusely. The General, we .-linn ld think, was disposed to be sar castic: witness his allusion to the ''youngest limb of the law." This we think absolute ly wicked. It is true that we have not been in public life over a quarter of a century, and that our experience in the profession is not as extensive as that of many of our co temporaries. however we have read SOME loir, of which we are not prepared to accuse the learned gentleman who represents this district in part, and who has been selected to make laws thai must pass the critical -niit ■itian of those who are learned and experienced in the profession, ft may be a work of philanthropy to send men to the Legislature to make laws who have never read a dozen pages of law in their lives, as otherwise the superior courts might have nothing to do, and by their inactivity become rusty, and the law. when it did require ex position. might suffer at the hands of those who ought to he very sharp and clear. Again, when the Genera*, says, "allow me t> say some counties have been much, bene fitted by the devotion of their Representa tives to its the Central Railway s interest, which is thought to be well done, cren at tin r prr&.,f Hmc,'' we certainly do not under stand him. If he intends to make a reflec tion upon his colleague, we comprehend, if not. not. - We shall not undertake to an-wer the General's logic, the readers of the INQUIR ES. who understand the railroad question fully as well as we do, and who honestly differ, as we do with the gentleman, will see no reason given to justify the extraordinary position taken by our representatives. The reflection upon Mr. Householder, for partial ly failing will not excuse these gentlemen for not trying. THE SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. The discussion of the merits of this pro ject and the good faith of those who have control of it, in these columns, has drawn out the Pennsylvania Railroad company, at great length, in an article which will be found in another column of this paper taken from the U. S. R. & 31. Register which en deavors to satisfy us (of which we were satisfied long ago) of the importance and superiority of this route, and that the Pennsylvania Railroad intend to build the road (of which we are not so well satis fied) which we hope every reader interc.-ted in the project in this county will read. In a brief commentary upon our article of two' weeks ago the Register says : 'The Southern Pennsylvania Railroad Company has all the legislation it requires, the Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad Company has not. Herein is the difference, and a very substantial difference it is, too, as some folks realize. "AH but the very oldest residents on the route of the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad will pass over it in good time, in comforta ble ears. It is too big a road to be built in a hurry, and time and money spent in survey and location will be amply repaid out of diminished cost of construction, and also out of the greater economy with which the line will be operated, after it shall have been opened for commercial uses. "There ought to be a new edition of the old song "Wait for the Wagon," with rail road adaptations." The allusion to our impatience I ail very well; this place has been waiting "for the wagon'' for at least twenty years and if that brief space of time is not sufficient to wear out our patience then we "can't see it," that's all. One of the principal arguments used by the parties concerned in the construction is that they cannot pro ceed until the litigation in which they are engaged with the Connellsville company, is terminated. "The why and the where for no one understands." If they intend to build the road, as is asserted over and over again by the Register , what has the Connellsville road to do with it? The boast that, the Central company has all the Legis lation that it roguires, (and we mean to hold them to it) is sufficient for their purpose. If they have all the Legislation they wvnt, then the ConnellsvillCompany is no barrier to the building of the new line. It is to be hoped that the Legislature having done its work so well, the Central Company will pro ceed without unnecessary delay to perform its part of the programme. We know the Register does not use the argument spoken of above, but this is the argument used by 31r. Scott and others. If the road is not to be built, provided the litigation should terminate adversely to the Southern Penn sylvania Company, we want to know it n;w? A RECONSTRUCTED REBEL'S OPINION. < feneral Lee in his evidence before the Reconstruction Committee expressed the opinion that the people of Virginia will con | sent to the payment of the national debt, but that they also desire the payment of the rebel debt. lie says they acknowledge their defeat and that they desire peace, but he justifies secession as one.of the reserved rights of the States. He denies all knowl edge of the cruelties and starvation to which Union prisoners were subjected. He also expresses Iris belief that with the Exccu tivc government cf the United States held by a President like Buchanan, rejecting the right of coercion, and a Congress holding the same political opinions, and thus afford ing to the Southern States an opportunity to again secede, that with their present embit tered feeling they would be very likely to do so if they thought it would be to their interest. Such is Lee s opinion of the men whom copperheads are striving to reinstate in pow er, without rearing of them any other guaranties of future good behavior than such as they themselvts choose to give. They who desire to see rebels thus placed in power should by all means vote for Cly mer and the whole copperhead ticket. Tiff. fISH 111 1,1.. The Fish Bill having passed both houses and received the signature of the Governor is now a law. Its provisions embrace the Susquehanna and its tributcries and extends up the Juniata to Bedford. It requires all dams in the river to be constructed as not to have a perpendicular fall of more than eighteen inches. We hope to be able to lay the bill before our readers in a short time. Gel). Ross on the Railroad. HAtmtsßi ton, MARCH 27th, 1806. IV THE EDITORS OJT THE BEDFORD IsqriKEK: Messrs. Editors: —In your issue ofthe Pith, in an article on the Connellsville and South ern Pa. Rail Road, you attack myself and my colleague in what 1 think a very uncalled for manner: applying to us epithets which I am not willing to have applied to me so liberally, when T think I am doing right: as was the case on the bill extending said Road, and which I shall continue to maintain, although I may be stigmatized as not having ability, and decision enough to understand, and carry out a bill that isso plain that theyoung estlimb ofthe law could note fail to under stand I am quite surprise 1 that yon have not leorned that if six other companies, or six times six. wanted Rail Road privileges not approved of by the dominant Railroad power, they could not get them. You, perhaps, have not been in public life long enough to have learned that this is not the first time the Pennsylvania E. R. has had its wishes car ried out. and allow tne to say some Counties have been much benefited by tbe devotion of their Representatives to its interests, which is thought to be well done, even at the pres ent time. On the question of suspicion as to the intention of said Rail Road company. lam aware that in the Southern portion of Somerset county, a large majority of the citi zens .est only suspect, hut cave believed from ihe first, that they dont now, and never did, intend to construct the Road, but only hold the privilege granted to them to obstruct or hinder the completion ofthe -Pittsburgh and Connellsville Road; but as to the opinions of the Bedford and Fulton county citizens, so far as I have heard them, all lead the other way. and gave me to believe they thought they were acting .in good faith. Thinking it to be my duty to promote tbe especial interest of Somerset county, (not however at the ex pense of Bedford and Fulton,) which could be but done by having tbe law repealing the charter of the Pittsburg and Connellsville It. It. repealed, fthi which opinion I am back ed up by several hundred petitioners. ) In con versations had with Senator Householder, my colleague, and others, I declared my inteution to vote for any measure the C. and Southern Pa. or its friends, desired, as there WAS no antagonism between the two Roads, but that having both of them made, we could oblige our constituents of each of the Counties: ex pecting of course, the friends-of said Road to point out any unwise legislation they might ask so that it might be opposed expecting them to go for the restoration ot the Charter to our Road, the P. and C. as it is the only Road we expect any thing from. On the 30th January. Col. Quay read a bill in place, giv ing the C. and Southern Pa. the right to ex tend their Road from Connellsville to Pitts burgh Ac. Reported 14th February and pass ed 11. of R. on the 28th February, with no ob jections by mc acting in pursuance of my former declarations, having no warning or intimation that it was exceptional to your folks or itsfriends, by the gentleman who first drew your attention to the subject, and n honi you, very kindly, represent endeavoring to prepare to meet the issue. The issue was met in the Seuate, and Senator Householder and others tried to amend only as to the time for commencing the work, and completing the Road with but very little success, until, I am informed, an outsider had the matter arrang ed, and a shorter period fixed for the com mencement of the work. Hoping this explan ation will satisfy you, and others who may have misunderstood my position, T am con tent. Yours. M. A. ROSS. F ROM eOXXEI TH IT.

Important Proclamation from Andrew Johnson, President of the United States. I lie President lias issued a proclamation dated April 2d, declaring the insurrection at an end and the supremacy of the National Government fully established throughout the States lately in Rebellion. A Very Singular State oi Affairs. It is a fact that before the rebellion was precipitated the Southern members of' Co ngress objected to a military display on the -2d of February, 1861, in the city of Wash - ington, because, as they then alleged, armed men in the streefs of the national capital would have the appearance of seeking to overawe the South. On this {ilea, .James Buchanan ordered the withdrawl. from the Streets of Washington, of a battery of artil lery, parading really to do honor to'tlie birth day of Washington. After the rebellion was put down—after the traitors of the South had been whipped and crushed to the earth like dogs, the very first move their apologists in the North began to make, was a demand for the removal of all federal troops from the South. First, it was too galling to Southern traitors sensibility, to allow the brave black man, who had assisted to put down the rebellion, to remain under arms in the presence of the chivalry. To satisfy this objection, the colored troops have been removed. Next, it was deman ded to remove the veteran white men who had earned our flag in victory over the hat tie fields of the South an order was accor dingly issued to withdraw the white troops But even this has not satisfied the high minded sons of the South, ever so sensitive of their rights. 11V believe that noichcre in the South have then-been any court martial* hild for trial of rebel traitors. Those are only plain facts, and we refer to them that we may with the more justification ask why when no trials, by court martial, of rebel traitors are conducted in the Southern States, there should be a court martial in session in the city of Harrisburgh, fur the trial of enlisted federal soldiers, charged with all sorts of petty offences? Why not let these men go on their honor as thousands of rebels have been let go since they were beaten in battle? We trust that the" Sec retary of W r ar will put aneudtothis farce. Our people are as sensitive on this subject as are the traitors in the South and we have heard more than one veteran ask with a strange significance, whether there is any difference between the men who fought to save and those who fought to destroy the Government. Harris!,urgh Telegraph. The Aorth Carolina papers arc full of statements going to show that plantations in that section are being rapidly bought up by Northerners. A Jersevman recently purchased twelve hundred acres in Wades boro,' North Carolina, at eleven dollars per acre. A New York company are on the point of taking ten thousand acres in the same State, on which they will settle Eng lish emigrants. Sam. Houston"* Death. Aii interesting article on Sain. Houston in the April number of Hitrpn-y Magazine thus speaks of his death: "Rut if Houston's days were ended while adversity impended over his country ami his house, he was not without hope in the great future. Ho died as he had lived a number of years, a Cni vinistic Baptist, in full faith and fellowship with his chmvh. His lust lays were given to prayer tor his distressed faintly and coun try. and in spiritual preparation, 'while yet on the narrow strip uf land which separates man from eternity. 1 These were his own words. In the alienee of a minister of his own denomination, for several weeks before his dissolution lie bad the consolation of a Pre-hytcrian Divine, with whom he had lately reconciled previous differences. In the same manner he forgave all bis enemies and he died as none hut a Christian can die. "He left a widow and seven children, no otie of whom had attained fyears of majority, lie had owned a few slaves. He no longer looked to them as a dependence after the first gun was fired. His lands are not availa ble to his family. So that Houston died — as Benton said a public uian ought to die — poor. He had married late. His widow is a sterling woman, who had greatly influenced and improved his later years. In his darkest hours she had been his best adviser." Education lor the Orphans. Pennsylvania had a celebration in Harris burg recently which should not escape atten tion. During the latter days of the war, Governor Curtin of that State made arrange ments to educate the children of its fallen soldiers. Schools were established in vari ous towns and an appropriation made to carry out the work. The schools have been in operation for some time, and with great success. A number of the scholar.- went to Harrisburg on a frolic, and had what we presume the boys themselves considered "a jolly time." They met in the Capitol building sang songs, made speeches, and were talked to by Governor Curtain in a very pretty way The example thus set by Pennsylvania should be followed in other States. Governor Curtin deserves the rare honor of having led iu the movement. He is now in the last year of his administration, and is, we believe the senior Governor in point of service in America—the last of the gallant magistrates who surrounded Air. Lincoln when b'e enter ed upon the stormy duties of the Presidency —and among the ablest, most active and popular men in Pennsylvania. If he did nothing else but found schools for these be reaved darlings of the Nation, the measure of his credit would be full. —JVcte York Trib une. The Press and the President. With few exceptions— so few as to be re. 'atively insignificant—the press of the coun try has sided with Congress in the issue rais ed by the pre.-ident. The local elections have even exhibited accessions to the Republican ranks, and the resolutions of the State Republican Convention at Harrisburg last week, may convince the President, if he is open to conviction, that Pennsylvania at home, whatever may be said of her at the Capital, is game that he cannot afford to despise. True, his great defection wis not alluded to -he was simply entreated to stand firmly by the loyal masses who put him into office but a reS" ariou expressing hope and confidence that he would do so was voted down the moral obligation to protect the freedmen affirmed, and the Hon. 31 r. Cowan called upon to resign the .-cat in the Senate which he had so unfaithfully filled. There could scarcely be a stronger statement of the position of Congress than this: "that the most imperative duty of the present is to gather the legitimate fruits of the war, and "that failure in these great duties would be scarcely less criminal than would have been an acquiescencein secession." (fen. Geary, we believe, is well qualified to lie the nominee of such platform.— Tfie Nation. The editor of the Baton Rouge (La.) Ad vocate acknowledges the receipt of a wild cat skin sent him by the ladies of the Highland J*i ernon Club. The ladies reported that they and their pack fox hounds had chased a fox nearly all day of the Monday previous, but sly Reynard finally managed to get off. ihe next day they started another fox, and ran him to within two miles of Baton Rouge when he '"earthed," and the dogs turned after a wild cat, who was caught, at last after a desperate Sght, in which the fierce animal came near "eating up" Mr. D. ])., the la eies escort. It is proposed to dam up the Kansas river at Lawrence. It is ascertained that the flow of water is seventy thousand barrels per min ute, affording with a six foot dam about five thousand horse power, and capable of run ning three hundred runs of stone. The Tribune of that city says: "Large amounts of machinery are going up here this spring, including two woollen factories, three manu factories of farming utensils, extensive rail road car and repair shops, and machinery for other purposes, the operation of which would be greatly facilitated by the construc tion of this dam." REDUCTION OF MILITARY FORCE.— On the Ist of January last there were 55,336 white volunteers and 63,373 colored volun teers in the service of the United States — 118,669. During the three months which will end on Saturday, over 40,000 of these volunteers have been mustered out. and or ders have been issued by which as many more will receive their discharges by the 15thof April. Should the mustering out be continued there will not Le a volunteer regi ment on duty by the middle of May with the exception of a few on the plains, ami they will soon give way to regulars. BANK SUSPENSION. —The failure of the Banking House of Culver, Penn & Co., in New York, ha- it is reported, caused a sus pension of the following banks in this State: \ enango Bank, Oil City Bank, Petrolum Bank, Lawrence County Bank, Crawford County Bank and First National Bank of r J itusville. The Notes of the First National are good and it is stated by the Auditor General that the notes of the Venango Bank and the Petroleum Bank. State institutions are also recure by deposits of National secu rities at Harrisburg. 1 he Indianapolis Gazette notices the arri val in that city of a remarkable walker named I'rederick Shaffer, a German, whose pere grinations have extended all over Europe and the greater part of Asia and afriea, and who is now on his way across the Plains to California, and thence to Japan and China- Mr. Shaffer is about thirty years of age, and is tar below the common stature, being only about four feet six inches in height, owing to a disease or defoamity of the spine, lie is said to be very intelligent and converses freely in several different languages. The Supremo Court of Wisconsin have decided that the Constitution of that State was amended at the election in 1847, so as to allow colored persons to vote. The order of the lower Court deciding negatively, was reversed. This vexed question is therefore settled, and will add a thousand or fifteen hundred votes to the Union strength of the htate. The London 1 bst declares that England has almost come to the conclusion that there ought to be no restrictions on any sea fishing and warns the provincials, in case they should seek to enforce too stringently their supposed rights against American fishermen that the British Government is not likely to make great sacrifices to support three thou sand miles away, a right it has virtualey abandoned at home.
