Curtin has signed the bill passed bv theDi-union i.sts of the last Legislature, disfran chising citizens of this Commonwealth whoare charged with being "deserters." This hill is predicated upon the Act of Congress disfranchising "deserters," re cently pronounced unconstitutional by Judge King, of this Judicial District, as well as by the Judges of some five or six other Common Pleas districts in this State. The Governor hesitated long oeiore ne affixed his signature to the bill in question, but his spinal col umn as not strong enough to resist the pre-sure brought to bear upon it by Thad. SteVens A Co. Poor, miserable weakling! Thedeare-t right- of thou sands of his fellow citizens might have been protected by firmne— on hi- part, but his terror of the party la.-h coni- I'vlled him to cancel, by a single stroke of >.i- pea, the blo-al-bought immuni tiesof Pennsylvania freemen. Though there be nothing eise in < 'art in'- whole official record to disgrace b.im in the public estimation, this one act alone i sufficient to brand his name with eter nal infamy. The signing of thi- hill will ding to hint like a shirt of Xe-- sus, and long after lie shall have passed into the silence of the grave, the de scendants of the men robbed fiy fiinj of their citizenship, will couple his name with curses and link his memory with bitterestconturnely. But the infamon enaetinent just signed by the Gover nor, will be a dead letter upon the stat ute-book. Not a single' man will be deprived of his right-, infernal as i- it conception and devilish as is its. pur pose. We want the scoundrels who concocted this scheme for making ne groes out of white men, distinctly to understand, that the friends of the \\ iiite Man's Liberty, intend to pfaytht last card in tfiix game. They hold the winning hand and do not mean to be eucnretl. "Disfranchise deserters!"' Pah! We'll show you a trick worth twoof that before you get through with your cowardly knavery. The Act of C ingress upon which your "disfranchi sing" law is based, is now before the Supreme Court of the State. If there are tnree honest man upon that bench, three men who have not bartered their souls for political favor, three men who are not fools, cowards, or knaves, the Act of Congress aforesaid will be deci ded un institutional. But if a major ity of the court should be foolish, tim id, or knavish enough to declare that Act of Congress constitutional, tiun we say to every man who is charged with being a "deserter," possess your soul 111 patience; not a hair of your head shall be hurt. You .-hall still, in spite of legislative tyranny, in spite of judicial wrong, in spite of the machinations of the Devil himself, stand under the broad tegis of the Con stitution, a citizt-u and a legal xoi-er. f -ar not.-' -i he time is no longer when thi how 1 i ngdervishes and roaring hulls o. o; utc A-boiLtioß Ifcounioa party, can influence, with their bawl ing and braying, the powers that fee. Be firm, "trust in the Lord and keep your powder dry." A CIVIL NECESSITY. Office holders and those dependent upon their smiles, affect to be much embarrassed to ascertain which side honor requires them to take in the eon test between Radicalism and the Pres ident. Strange that theu should misunder stand the practical working- of the maxim "to the victors belong the spoil-." ."since Intl. the Republicans j have had a just claim to the enjoy merit i of office, and most valiantly have they : asserted their right. The m olds show that Oric< u.- many appointments were made in the eieitrvic under Mr. Lin-1 coin a- have been made by all of his pre decessor-. Of thi.-, Democrats had no right to complain, and for five years j have patiently "stood out in the cold," and despite the subtle acts of a ; despotic foe have gallantly maintained tlieir principles and their organization. Suppose there is difficulty in deciding which wing of tin R; nu'dican- '.-the party that triumphed in l-'ii and ISB, it still doe- not affect the Democracy, j and can in no manner entitle theni to claim the spoils of office. if the President would a--iune to dictate to Uongrc-- whom they should -eieet to liil the offices at their di-po-ul he would justly merit and would un- I doubtedly receive the severest rebuke, and yet he has precisely the same right to do this as Congress has to dictate to him the recipients of his official favors, j Upon this subject the Radicals have j themselves -(-tiled the question. Who i does not remember that within a briel two years the Radical ,-hibboleth was, , "THE PRESIDENT IS THE GOVERN- , MENT. Oppose the. President and you oppose the Government. All men art traitors who do not support the Presi dent." Such were the daily utterances ~ , j of the shoddy loyalists. Mr. Lincoln aim-elf sanctioned the doctrine, and their whole jiartv acted upon it. The: unlawful seizure and imprisonment of thousand- of Democrats have indelibly impressed upon our minds this doc trine in ali its length ahd breadth, ll then, Lincoln, as President, was the Government, so Johnson, a- President, i- the Government, and we cOmmend | to their iips the chalice so rudely pres sed to ours. The offices are in the gift of the Ex ecutive. If he believes hi- policy will restore the Union and give prosperity I to tin whole people, and if he believe he can -strengthen hi; cause through the office- it his disposal, he should at oree and determinedly use the nnTu:- the Constitution and law- have given him. Three fifth- of the Repuhiiean are with the President, but through the controlling intiuer.ee of their party machinery tlieir voc-e is -titled, they are induced to be beat by the iai-e as surance that ad wih yet be well: that the differences will yet be healed. Tin y forget that Andrew Joim-on proclaim ed from the steps of the Presidential man Jon, that tin men "ere traitor*." The hour for fraternization, ha- pa-t. I the breaeii i- irreparable, theseparation 1 is final. Upon the question of reconstruction i the Democracy in solid phalanxaresup j porting the policy of the Pre. ident. ! They seek none of tiie offices. They | have no ju-t claim to them. Tiiey re- I gard the contest as one of principle— j one of great: ; - importance wa- never i submitted t > American people. It defeat wiil forever sink the last hope of our free institutions,its triumph will i make a glorious future possible for our noble country. The influence of office holders for ■ good is out slight; for < t til they may be all powerful. A- supporters of a meas | ure they weigh but little ; a- its oppo | ser- they are always felt. In a close : contest, their opposition may turn the scale, in a deadiy struggle with "trai | tors," eau it be that the President wiil i permit his office holders to range them ' selves under the banner \ trwne raort him, and the rebellion in Bradiord county, one ; of the "Republican" stronghold-, is al-<> getting to be a seri^u-affair, so that for the sake of saving their party ! from utter rout, they may compel Ger - ry to decline in favor of a new candi , date. The Johnson "Republicans" in the State who will not vote for Geary under any circumstances, are < -timatf d at some fio.diXJ. Thi- fact, too, will i>e i a strong inducement to the Disunion , leaders to change their base. But we -hall -ee what we shall see. \ STREW I .DOSE IN \ EEEfiHEN Y t'OI'N II.

I Pursuant to a call signed by General llartrunft, thQsoldiers iaa number of the counties of this State h eld conven tions and appointed delegates toa State convention which was to have been held at Pittsburg on theot h inst. The ostensible purpose of this Convention j was to petition Congress \ or an eguali | zatiouof bounties. But it was surmised by many that its real object was to trick the soldier citizens into the support of Geary. The result has verified this suspicion. The Geary paper Generals got control of the Convention, and in stead of confining it to it- legitimate purpose, converted t into a political nmcliHie. The Clymer delegates from Cumberland, Berks rnd other counties, though true and tri i f-ohners, were ; not permitted to iuve a voice in the 1 Con*intioit.

There has always been more or less complaint by defeated aspirants for nomination* in referenceto interference by what arc styled "wire-workers." Whilst the "wire-workers" are gener ally the hard workers of the pa Ay also, and spend more time, money a rid labor forthe benefit of the party in one cam paign than those who complain of them do in their iife-time, yet we s.iy to the delegates, obey your instructions and after you have done so. obey your own judgment :is to what is tK~t for the interests of the party.

BLOODY RUN, June 11, lSfi:>. Mlt. Editou:—l have just read that progressive,one-idea paper, The Bedford Inquirer , and i find in it a very learned explanation of the word Ih idled. The editor must be alarmed about Jladicat i.vn. There is no doubt a storm brew ing wl.uch will have a tendency to in jure its prospects. The Latin word of which Radical is a derivative, means it root. 1 am of the ignorant rabble that the learned writer exposes and I do not make any pretensions to any knowledge of Latin. But Iloly Writ says "the love of money is the root of all evil." This may be tiie root called Radicalism. The American people, I believe, have paid and are now paying very dear for their knowledge of Radi calism. It has been one of the most wicked roots that ever took root and grew in America. John Brou n was a root of Raditilii to. lie tried to carry out the progressive, one-idea reform t-> perfection. He caused blood to flow in the execution of its philanthropic de sign-. lie "progressed" Sharpo's ri fles and pikes, in double lined boxes, from Kan-.,s to Harper" Ferry. The sccresv of the progn .-ion was no doubt like thai of the plotters of ancient tine - that we read about: "Men love Dark !!"— rather than Light, because their Hoot is evil." Brown or his associates killiiu an inn .Tit negro for not assist ing them in conspiracy, murder and treason, was a great progressive act, for did not Edwin Copper say, when lie was captured, that he was from Cedar county, Iowa; that lie was a "Republi can philanthropist;" that became there to liberate the slaves? The Prince of Peace is referred to by the writer in the ttujidf' r as an example of Radical pro ure-s. How mistaken the idea ! The Savior taught his follower- to love their enemies ; but the Radicals hate and teach hatred of their enemies. They don't wan! to overcomee\ i! with good, and because ['resident Johnson is overcoming evil with good they call him "traitor," "usurper," and declare that he ought to he hung. Just like the ancient Pharisees, they boast about their humanity, hut when you exam ine it, you iind nothing hut "sounding bras- and tinkling cymbals." Batch elder, a poor man in Boston, was em ployed as a watchman to guard a fugi tive slave. The laws of the land re quired hi- security as a fugitive. But how did Progressive Radical ism treat this citizen for upholding the law V . It i shed !fis innocent blood. This is a fair | example of Radical Reform. It i- not 1 reform- it i< vengeance. The Prince of Peace never taught such progress. • Such progress brought about secession and the late bloody civil war. There-1 fore, let these Radicals beware. For, "behold the day eonietii that shall burn ' as an oven and all the proud, yea and ; all iii.it do wiekediy, shall he stubble, , and the day that eometh shall burn j them up, saitii the Lord ot ilo-ts, that it shall have them neither Root nor Branch." < \>N-I Rv \TIVR liKPHBLKIAM.

She w ill present before the eon-i gressional conferees the name of J.Mc- Dowell Sharpe, Esq., of this place, and ! his nomination with earnestness, in the j full confidence that her superior claims will not lie overlooked. Against tin propriety of our Somerset friends ex- j pressing a preference for Don. Coffroth j for that position we have nothing to say, it isall right and proper that they I should doso, but we scarcely think that I it is intended by them seriously to urge I his nomination in the face of the fact, j that theviuid already had the candidate ! two terms. j Sihco Uio formaiioa of tho. tliiirict Franklin county lists presented no can didate for Congress, and lists actju insect I in tbe chinee of Somerset, and yielded hirn tier hearty-support; She now pre sents a candidate and a-ks from that county the satne cheerful acquiescence and support which she accorded Mr. Cotfroth on former occasion*. The candidate presented by Franklin county is well known throughout the district, ami combine*in a hijjh degree •all the nm-ary elements of an effi j cient and reliable representative in our national legislature. Of his ehar ; aeter for ability, integrity ami sound | Democracy it is not necessary to speak —they are universally conceded. Tiie Democracy of this county tinge the nomination of Mr. Hiiarpe on the ground of his eminent ability and tit ness, a* well as on the indisputable claim of the county to the nomination. No Qther county in the district has pre sented a candidate but Somerset, and ! as she has had the Congressman for four years, she should lie satisfied. In view of these facts we hope tiie confer ence will give Mr.Sharpe a unanimous nomination, and thereby render certain tiie election of an able and reliable rep resentative from this district in the next Congress.— ; Valley Spirit. ' HON. If. COHKOTH. The largest Democratic Convention i that ever assembled in Somerset, Pa. convened on the 21st of May.

Coilroth to be their unanimous choice for Con gress; that they earnestly urge the Democrats of the dstrict to again confer upon him the nomination, assuring them that, if he is renominated, he will 1 he triumphantly elected. His unfalter ing services to the party—his unswerv ing devotion to the cause of the masses i of the people—lus fidelity to the inter ' .-is of his constituents—his ever will i ingness to serve all who call upon him —his great per-onal popularity and ex tensive acquaintance, make him the strongest man who can be presented by the Democratic party for the suffrages of the people. Mr. Cotfroth richly deserves the hon j or tiie gallant Democracy f such disfranchised class, hears to the whole number of males ; over twenty-one in said State.

A synopsis of this report will be found elsewhere. It states, at length, the condition of the South at the close of the war. and denies that tiie President has any power in regard to reconstruction, except to establish provisional governments, and finally arrives at the conclusion that the South ern States at the close of the war were ouiy disorganized communities, which could not legally elect representatives, and should not be admitted without giving guarran tees of equal civil rights to all citizens and excluding from office a portion of those person- who \ute engaged in war against tiie Fnited States.

It also provides that Government mes sages shall take precedence of all oth er- ; that the Fnited States shall be al lowed to purchase the property of this company after five years, and reserves to Congress the right of granting the same privileges to any other company. The Senate resumed the consideration of the joint resolution reported from the Committee on Reconstruction, the question being ort the amendment of fered on Wednesday by Mr. William-, to be inserted as a sub-titute for the second section. It apportions represen tation according to the whole number of inhabitants in the several States, but when any class is refused the right- of suffrage the number of representatives ! from that State shall lie diminished in the proportion that the number of nudes over twenty-one year- of age bears to tin* whole number of ma < s over twenty-one in said State.
