Of thirteen hundred subscribers to this journal, not quite four hundred have paid for the year of which nine months have passed away. Now, is this not really too bad? If the nine hundred delinquents had paid up, as they should have done, there would be no necessity for any more dunning. In f that case we would not now need a cent of money ; but as it is, we need every cent they owe us. We have paid out our own money to meet the expenses of furnishing these nine hundred with their weekly copy of our paper. It is really a loan to them. Now. we appeal to our delinquent friends to pay up. You have already permitted yourselves to lose the advantage of our advance rates. If you neglect to make payment for three months longer, you will have to pay $3.00 per year for your paper.— We do not wish to exact this from you. But we must enforce our rates, or quit publishing a paper. Shall this be the last dun ? Delinquents will decide for themselves. NEGROES VS. FOREIGNERS. The passage of the "Negro Civil Rights Bill/' is a direct blow at every foreigner, be he Englishman, French man, Scotchman, Welshman, or j what not, for the reason that it discriminates against him and in fa-1 vor of the Negro. As the law now stands, a Negro who was six months ago a slave, who cannot read nor write any language, without regard to his characteror disposition "to the good oder and happiness" of the nation, is declared to be a citizen ; but the thou sands of white foreigners who have re sided in this country, two, three, or I four years, the vast majority of whom are intelligent and well educated, are! "left out in the cold" of their alienage, and must bide their time, make proof of five years' residence and of their good moral character, their attachment to the Constitution of the United States, and their disposition "to the good orderand happiness of thesame," besides abjuring the government of which they were subjects and taking the oath of allegiance to the United States. President Johnson, in his mes sage returning the Civil Rights Bill to the Senate, says: "The bill in effect proposes a discrimination against large numbers of intelligent, worthy and pa triotic foreigners, and in favor of the i Negro, to whom after long years of bondage, the avenues to freedom and intelligence have just now been sudden ly opened.'' Let this fact he impress ed upon the minds of all who desire to do justice to per-on- of foreign birth in our midst. Let the object of the Disunionists in tliu- favoring tlx* Ne gro and slighting the foreigner, be made clear to the minds of citizens of foreign birth, so that they will cease to vote a ticket which cuts their own throats. Men of every nationality are interested in this matter. Old preju dices and aniincities sink under this sweeping insult to all foreigners. If this class of the American people isnot to be degraded beneath the level of the Negro, it is about time for those who compose it to bestir the uselvesin their own behalf. BLMST NEGRO RIOT IN NORFOLK. We are already realizing the first fruits of 4 the Upas tree planted by the Disun ion Radicals. They have -taught and are daily engaged in teaching the Ne gro that he is the equal of the White Man and that he must and shall have all the civil and political privileges in herent in American citizenship. En couraged by the assurances of these men, it is not surprising that the Negro should strike for rights which he is told are his, but which are yet denied him. A few days ago an outbreak of the col ored people occurred in the city of Nor folk, Va., which resulted in the death of a number of whites and blacks and in the wounding of many more. It is said to have been a frightful affair.— Notwithstanding the danger which this occurrence portends, the Disunion istsin Congress still continue to legis late and talk in favor of white and black equality, and still inflame the ; mind of the Negro against those who do not choose to acknowledge him as their equal. If people want another , San Domingo massacre, or the repeti tion of the recent butcheries in Jamai cn, let them continue in power the Dis union Radicals, and they will be grati fied soon enough. Beware! The men in Congress who preach Negro Suffrage and the equality of whites and blacks, are stirring up an element which they cannot control and which will cause blood to flow ere it can be quelled. A FEW WORDS TO CANDIDATES. A number of gentlemen have an nounced themselves as candidates for the Democratic nomination for the va rious offices to be filled at the coming election. All of them, in their an nouncements, pledge themselves to a hide by "the decision of the Democratic County Convention." Is it generally understood what the full meaning of this promise to abide by "the decision of the Convention" comprehends. It involves a maids persona! honor, and he is dishonored and disgraced if he violates that pledge. It is the essence, the very life and soul, of party organization, and must be lived up to under all circum stances. The man who submits his , name to a party convention, with the promise to abide by its decision, and failing to receive its nomination, oppo ses, or is lukewarm in regard to, the election of his successful competitor, i treacherous at heart and does not de serve, in any degree, the confidence of his fellow men. We do not believe, for a moment, that any such person now seeks a nomination at the hands of the Democracy of Bedford county. If we did. we would expose him at once. But in the past, we have had some ex amples of infidelity in this regard, and it is this fact that induces us to talk in this strain. Had the office-seekers in the Democratic party always proved honorable and faithful, our majority in this county would long ago have reach ed a thousand votes. Nothing under the sun. but the dissensions caused by disappointed office-hunters, has kept our majority from reaching that figure. It i- true that Conventions sometimes make mistakes, hut within the party there can be no appeal from their deci sion. Far better that those who feel ag grieved hide their time and appeal to subsequent conventions for justice, than to take the matter into their own hands and seek redress by a mode which can hut prove their own political ruin. And just here let us urge that it should al ways be a point to elect the moat intel ligent and upright men in the -everal j districts as delegates to conventions. Such men are not likely to do inju-tice to any one, or to disobey the voice of j the people. As to the mode of election eering for nominations, it should he entirely free from personalities. As but one person can receive the nomina tion for the office to which he aspires, | candidates should remember that if nominated, it is important that they have the good w ill of their defeated : competitor-. It isnot enough that they have a right to their support, which is j certainly true under all circumstances, j | but they should -o conduct themselves ! in the canvass for ihe nomination, that such support will he cordial and whole hearted. We cannot afford to haveany more bickerings and heart-burnings in , ; our organization. We say to the can i delates, be men, treat each other hon ; orably, kindly and fairly. It i- not merely success in office-get ting that de mands the-e things at your hands. The welfare of the country depends upon the triumph of Democratic prin ciple-, and, therefore, require- of you such deportment as will contribute ; most to the success of the Democratic party. .So mote it he. NNOTIIER GREAT SI'KKITI BY THE DKIJiIDKN r. A large concourse of Soldiers and Sailors, assembled in Washington, on Wednesday evening of last week, and proceeded, with the Marine Band at their head, to the Executive Mansion for the purpose of serenading President Johnson. The President appeared and addressed theassem biage at some length | upon the issues of the day. We will publish his speech entire in our next. There is a nervous force in what the President says that carries conviction With it, and we cannot help thinking that he will ere long have many fol lowers in his own party. He is evi dently a man of great firmness and te nacity of purpose, such a man as can not fail to make converts to his cause. Of his enemies he speaks in terms of the bitterest contempt. The following which were loudly cheered by the Sol diers and Sailors, are some of his ut terances in regard to the opponents of his policy. "While I was thus exposed personal ly and publicly (in the midst of the re bellion) and in everyway, some of my present traducers and calumniators were far remove 1 from the foe, and were enjoying case and comfort. But I c-are not for them ; I care not for their slan der. Thefoul whelp of sin has been turn ed loose against me. I care not for all that, and let me tell you here 10-day that, although pretty well advanced in : life, I feel that 1 shall live long enough to live down the whole pack of tradu cers. (Applause). They have turned the whole pack loose to lower me in j your estimation. (Voices, "They can not do it.") "Tray, Blanche and Sweet i heart, little dogs and all" come snarl ing and snapping at my heels, but I heed them not. The American people, citizens, soldiers and sailors, know that ; from my advent into public life to the ; present moment, I have always stood unyielding and unwavering as the ad vocate and defender of their rights and interests." How many of the so-called "Repub lican" papers will dare to lay before i their readers this speech of the Presi dent? We venture to predict that the number will not reach a half dozen in this state. AOAIXST THE AM OX |.\l> FOR THE NEGRO. The Disunion majority in Congress, are true to their antecedents. When we were a united and happy people, blessed with peace, prosperity and am ity, they and their associates attacked the Union of the States, and the Con stitution of our fathers; the one was denounced, the other vilified. Con cord. amity and forbearance, the silver cords that bound our people in a com mon destiny, were rudely sundered, and in their stead came a career of hate, vituperation and bloodshed : love for the Negro prompted its inception, anx iety for his freedom nerved them in their progress, and a desire for his so cial elevation rou-ed them to renewed exertion. As the peculiar friend- of the Negro they nullified the plain pro visions of the organic law, and violated laws enacted under its requirements. A- hi- zealous advocate-, they now vi olate the elementary principles of the Constitution, and refuse representation to the people who are true to the laws and faithful to the government. They were against the Union at the liegin ning. and they an?but con-istein in op posing it now. They are for the Ne gro, and against the poor white man, and their policy of to-day i- but the retiex of their sentiment- in the past. Their true rallying cry is: Ui* WITH THE NEGRO AND DOWN WITH THE UNION. They are Di-unionists in thought, Disunioni-t- in word, and Disunionists in deed. THE nisi AIOXI.STS ItITIM !) TO VOTE THE ftErnsßl lUi HEROES \ MEIIAI.. In the Senate of Pennsylvania, on the Sthof April, 18(14, Senator Lamber ton. a Democrat, offered the following resolution. "Resolved, That the committee on fi nance lie instructed to bring in a bill authorizing the governor of this Com monwealth to cause a .suitable medal in gold to be struck and presented to General .Meade, and such other suita ble testimonial as it may desire, to be presented to the other commissioned and non-commissioned officers and pri vates of this State who wrought for thi- commonwealth a great deliverance from rebel invasion, on the sanguinary and victorious field of Gettysburg." Senator Johnson, disunionist, moved to amend by directing the committee to inquire into the expediency of doing .so. The Democrats voted against amend ing the resolution and the di-unionists for it. The amendment was carried. The committee did not crenxider it exped ient and never brought in tin- bill, and no medal was ever presented to Gen eral Meade ami his soldiers, because of this vote of the disunionists. Look at the Record, page "9.j. THE New York Herald, a Republi can paper, but now supporting Presi dent Johnson in his struggle with the Disunionists, thus forcibly epitomizes the vetoed Civil Rights Bill: "Shali the negro intermarry with our daughters, and take an equal place in our households? The Civil-rights hill says that he shall." "Shall negroes intermingle with our refined ladies in steaming hot theatres, ball rooms, opera houses, and railroad ears? The civil-rights hill declares that they must." "Shall a negro supercede Grant as genera.-in-chief of the United States army? The civil-rights hill says that he can do so. "Is a negro tive time's better than a white man that the former should vote immediately, while the latter has to undergo five years probation if he brings hi- skill, labor and money to this coun try from abroad? The civil rights bill declares that the negro i- tive times better." "Shall the farms of the great West aud the whole country be owned by ne groes and white labor be made subser vient to negro proprietorship? The civ il-rights bid provides for this condition of tilings." "Are we to have negroes tilling the position of post captains in the United States navy? The civil rights bill says that we are." "Is this a white man'? Government for white men? The civil rights bill says that it is not." "Are we to have negroes representing this Government as United States min ister.- at the courts of France and Eng land? The civil-rights hill says that we are." "Shall negroes sit in Congress in the Cabinet and other high stations side by side with white men? The civil-rights hill says that he may." "Shall our children see a negro in the Presidential chair? The civil-rights bill provides for such a contingency." niSl 1.1.1.AM lU S SEWN. —A call lias been issued for a conven tion to meet at Kunxvilleon May3,com posed of delegates from all counties in East Tennessee, to memorialize tiie Legislature for leave to form a new- State, to be called the State of East Ten nessee. —The excitement at Quebec has very generally subsided, and the gates of the city are again permitted to remain open, instead of being dosed at mid night, as they have been since the in vasion alarm. —The government sales of hospital stores which have taken place in Wash ington from time to time, during the past six months, have netted the gov ernment about $1,000,000. —There is considerable alarm in Bal timore about the approach of the chol era, and active preparations arc making by the authorities and citizens to ward it off. —Justice Wayne, of the United States Supreme Court, is about to proceed to Georgia for the purpos* 1 of holding a Court ihere.

As all our readers are interested in 1 the welfare of the common school sys-' tem, we feel it incumbent upon us to make some remarks upon the duties of! the Convention of Directors which will assemble in this place, on Tuesday ! next. During the past three years the com mon schools of our county have made ; considerable progress. The present County Superintendent has shown, by his close attention to the duties of his office, that he has the interest of the j system at heart, lie, doubtless, felt, j also, that he could afford to devote his time to the discharge of those duties, for he received a reasonable salary. 1 n order that the school- may not retro grade, but rather make further prog ress, it is necessary that his successor be a gentleman who will take a sinii- 1 lar interest in the welfare ofthe sys tem and that he shall be paid a salary which will justify him in the thorough performanceof his onerous duties. We shall not undertake to advise the Con- j vent-ion as to a choice among the sever al candidate-, but we beg leave most j re-peetfully to urge upon , members the importance of paying the Superin tendent a good -alary. We think the sum now paid to that officer not too great for hi-services, and hoper.het 'in vention will not le--cn it. A mi-taken notion prevails in some ipiancr- that the salary of the County Sup rintend ent i- paid out of the State appropria tion coming to tpc county, it i- paid out of the gros- amount of the appro priation for the entire Slate. It does notatfe.-; taxation in any way whatev er, for it i- paid by the whole State, out of the State Treasury, and not by the county out of any money- belonging to the county. Of course, the county pays its share of the -alary, I tut that share is very small. Suppose that the otlice of County Superintendent were abolished in this county, the£l,ooo now paid to the Superintendent would be distributed among the taxables of the State. Now, there are otJ,i'9l taxables in Pennsylvania, and of liiis number. Bed ford county has6,oJ7. Hence, Bed ford county's share of thesl,ono would be but £9.40, all told! If the salary were reduced to sboO, it would make a difference to the tax-pavers of Bedford county, of only ($4.70 \ four dollar* ami seven')/ eenls, in the upjripitr ()ar county has a much larger number of taxables itr proportion to its wealth than the richer parts of the State. When money is taken from the State Treasury and distributed per taxable, the richer countie- are the losers and the poorer the gainers. Therefore, we would stand in our own light, if we were to hssen the salary of the County Superintendent. It is, at any rate, a safe principle,to pay well for any thing you expect to do well, and we hope and believe that the Convention will act upon this principle. As some of the Directors who are readers of our paper, may desire to post themselves upon thelaw which governs the action of the Triennial < 'onvention, we publish it below, with the decisions of the State Superintendent. That the school dire -tors of the sev- • ■nil counties of the Con'imonwealth shall meet in convention, at the seat of justice of the propereountjgon the first fuesday of May, every third year, and select vim roc . by a majority of the whole number of director- ps< - nt, one person of literary and M-ientiiicueqiiire ments, and of skill and experience in the art of teaching, a- county -uperin tendent for the three succeeding school years; and the school directors, or a majority of them, in such convention, shall determine the amount of com pensation for the county -uporintend ent, whicii said compensation shall he paid by the Superintendent of Common Schools, by his w arrantdrawn upon the State Treasurer, in half yearly instal ments if desired. That it shall be the duty of the presi dent and secretary of the triennial con vention of directors, to certify t<> the Superintendent of Common Schools, the name and post office address of the person elected county superintendent, in pursuance of the provisions of the act of May Bth, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-four, and those of all theothercandidates, who received votes together with the amount of compen sation fixed upon by said convention; upon the receipt of such certificate, if no valid objection be received within thirty days after the day of the elec tion, the' Superintendent of Common Schools shali commission the person, so elected, for the term of three years; but if objections to issuing such eom tnision be made within thirty days, and such objections be signed, among others, by a majority of the members of not less than one-fifth of all the school boards in the county, from which such objections arc received, and certi fied to, under oath or affirmation, by at least three of the signers, the Superin tendent of Common Schools may re quire such evidence, under oath or af firmation, in regard to the legality of the election and the qualifications of the person elected county superintend ent, as he shall deem necessary, and then, shall issue the commission to the person properly pualified, who received the greatest number of votes; and the Superintendent of Common Schools, when engaged in the investigations ol" objections, filed against the issuing of commissions to county superinten dents, shall have power to issue subpoe nas, and administer oaths, and any per son refining or neglecting to attend and give evidence at such investigation, when legally subpoenaed, shall be liable to the same fines and penalties, as if be had tefused to appear and give evi dence in the court of record, and the costs to be paid by the party subpoena ing the witnesses. DECISIONS. Men who will be engaged in other pro fessions, while attempting to discharge the duties of this office, should not re ceive the support of directors. The qualifications for this office/with out which the person elected cannot he commissioned, are literary and scientif ic acquirements, skill and experience in the art of teaching, sound moral char acter, and citizenship in the county.. Irreproachable moral character is es sential, and \Vill not lie dispensed with. This is as much a professional qualifica tion of the teacher and of the officer who presides over teachers, as it is in any other profession. Habitual or .fre quent intemperance, gambling, esty, or anyot her immorality, that would degrade a minister of the gospel from his position, will prevent the issue of the commission of county superinten dents. Sufficient health and vigor of the body to hear the labors of the office, are also'indispensable. The '"literary and scientific acquire ments" required by tin-law, will beheld, in all cases hereafter, to mean sufficient scholarship to enable the applicant to give sound and thorough instruction in all the studies taught in every common school of the county, from the lowest to the highest; and consequently to ex amine teachers in any and all of those brandies. * The "skill in the art of teaching" speci fied, will he held to embrace a sound knowledge of the theory of teaching as set forth in the usually read works on the subject, and 'the methods thereof," (No. ("il.j as practiced in good schools. The 'experience in the art of teaching,' demanded by the law. will hereafter he taken tomean actual experience in teach ing a common or other school, within the preceding six vears, as a profession al and not asan occassional employment, and for a sufficient length of time to have imparted the requisite degree of practical knowledge. The evidence of literary acquirement will be the production of a full profes sional certificate, either from a county superintendent in good standing or a State Normal school—showing, howev er. the amount and kind of knowledge required by the be-t schools in the coun ty, and obtained, not for the occasion, but in the regular exercise of the pro fession ; or, in the absence of a certifi cate, a special examination by direction of the State Superintendent. The salaries of county superintendents are payable out of the gross amount of State appropriation. Kach is not paid out of the amount or dividend of State appropriation coming to his proper county. This mode was adopted dur ing the first year ofthe office, lias been ever since sanctioned by the Legislature in milking the annual appropriations, and will bo adhered to while the law remains unehangi•< 1.

We publish below the Bill passed by the late Legislature for the disfranchise ment of Deserters, Non-reporting Con scripts, and other White Men. The infamy of this proposed law i> appa rent, when it is remembered that it is based upon an Act of Congress which the best and purest Jurists of both po litical parties pronounce unconstitu tional. But it has not yet become a law, as it lacks the Governor's signa ture. Should it. however, be signed by the Governor, it will be a dead let ter upon the statute-book, for no law disfranchising, at one fell swoop, thou sands of citizens of Pennsylvania, can ever be executed in this country. Let the class at whose liberty this blow i leveled, feel no alarm. Not a hair of their heads shall he touched. Thank God! the Constitution of Pennsylva nia is the master of the dastard wretch es who would drag down their own constituents into political slavery. For the information of our readers we pub lish the Bill as it was sent to the Gov ernor. It is as follows: A further supplement to the Election Line.-- of tht ( oniinonurn/th : Wit '.UK \s.
