THE LVIKSr INFAMY.
AVe take the following despatch from
the columns of the New York Tribune
of yesterday:
The Conflitufional Amendment—Projto
a if; on for Immediate State Aft ion.
ITIILADEI.PHI A, !
Thursday, June 14, EGG. |
After the Senate adopted the Consti
tutional amendment, justconeuired in
by the House of Representative-. Gov
ernor Ciirtin addressed a eireular letter
to tl.e Governor.-ofali the loyal States.
su "fe>li'ur the propriety of Enion in
action in callinff together their le{fis!:t
tui(> for tlie ratification of that anieiit!-
mt nt. Jt is now understood that sucii
uniform action will be had and that
I before the adjournment of Congress a
rat ification of the amendment will he j
made.
We had more than once heard a hint |
that a scheme, of the kind here holdiy
avowed, was in contemplation and had i
Ic ng been a matter of secret discussion
in the councils of the radicals, jhit
we did r.ot belie veil. It seemed incred
ible. There was nothing in Governor
Curtin\s recent political course on
which to ground a suspicion that he
would lend himself tos .eh a shanu less
work, hut, on the contrary, there were
many things to justify an assured eon
i viction that he would sjmin any con
nect;'n with it. But it seems that we
were mistaken. We honored him over
much. Hohasnot merely given bis
s nt to this base s -heme for forestall
in ; the judgment of the people uj.on
a tpu'stion of vtol interest to them and
| their posterity, hut has taken the ini
: tiative in it. andappears i.eforothepidt
lie its its author. Let us consider what
i: i- he proposes to do.
It will be remembered that the Leg
islature of Pennsylvania, which hepro
i poses to "onvene in special session, was ,
not chosen bv the venule in anticipation
that any such am n mints to t!:e Con-;
-:i'uti n as tlmse which have rec -ittly
. paseed eongrt would be submitted to
it. We venture to assert that not -I n
gie candidate for a seat in'that bo ly
d:;re;l to avow himself, pending ihe;
election, an advocate of negro .-'Bfrage.
We know positively that every Repub
lican who was chosen did his best to
convince his constituents, when he so
licited their suffrages, that no such pur
pose as that of enfranchising the blacks
was in contemplation by his parly.—
There cannot be a doubt that had the
people understood that this question
wa> an immediate and practical one,
dial it would come up for settlement*
by their representatives before another
election anil that by choosinjfa Itepub
lican Legislature they would give their
;)>-".,{ to tile estab!ishment of negro e
quality w.thin tle ir own border> and
throughout the land, tivy would have 1
ra-t such an overw!a lining Democratic
vote as would have left their opinions
in no doubt. But they were deceived, !
and the party which got control of (he
Legislature got it on a fglse pretense,
['heir hypocri-y we- all along mani
fest to i".s, but we did not suspect them
of a design so outrageous as that whi !i
' iovernbrCurtin'scircularforeshat'hiws.
It is now proposed to take away from
the people the opportunity to -ay 'yea'
or.'aay' toqw tion-of near;: r concern
P> their rights ; nd inten -ts than any
that have ever been pre-ented to them
since the Constitution wa- formed.—
Their judgment i- to he anticipated.
.V partisan Legislature is to be railed
together, in special session, to hurry
through a work w nich dare teg be trust
ed to their >uc\ essors. wh will be eie: t
ed with open eyes and a fuil knowit tlge
on the j art of their const: ucnts of the
interests which will depend upon the
choice they make. The Washington
Chtonirlr declared lost winter that if
th( Republicans -Imuhi go before t!;<
peopie t>." IVnnsyh'anm upon tls ? i>-;;e
of negro suffrage th y woultl be beaten
hoj elesely and
d. daration lie- the sot ret of Governor
. ("urtin's i'.aste. it I- ho; tl by giving
a i v ratification totheainendi;a ; -
......
not tiiiiy to assure ,;a ir anon:, n, t
, to take the questions which they in
volve, and which the Radicals tlam not
in .; in ihe campaign, out of the an na
1 of discussion.
No grosser violation of the >pirb of
the Constitution than this was ever
conceived, even i y the party which
I ave distinguished themselvea by lreir
ct. Ucmpt for it. "he pA>vision wliich
requires amendments ,o be submitteci
to the Legislatures of the resp 'Give
HKites is, of court- •, dt signet! to secure
:.e -• pre.-.-ion of the sense of the pco
of each State, speaking through
• their representative.-. But, here, the
Legislature is summoned to Harris
burg to decide a qut-tion of vital im
portance upon which the people of
Penn-yivauia have not passed, and
have had no opportunity to pass,judg
' jiici .t . This is a fraud—-a gross and pal
, [table fraud—one which must rou "the
I indignation of every honest breast.—
I We hope that it will be exposed and
denounced as it should be by the whole
Conservative pre of the < ommon
{ wealth. It is this latest and basest of
, ihose multiplied outrages upon law,
justice, and decency, by which the Re
- publican party has hitherto managed
i to maintain its power. We protest a
gainst it, not merely because of its in
trinsic wickedness, but because of the
" -trite it promises to engender—the
' stormy future which it for bodes for
' this country. Because we would not
see revolution, we protest with all the
- might that is in us against ap outrage
| which it would almost seem is intend
ed to provoke it.— Age.
BEDFORD. PA.. FRIDAY MORIFING, JUNE 29. 1866
WHY tIEABY CANNOT BE ELECTED, j
The Philidelphia Daily Sees, a Re- '
publican newspaper, whicb is as well
I known.as any in this State, very plain
ly intimates that General Geary docs i
not stand a shadow of a chance ofbe
j ing elected, it declares that thousands j
of sensible Republicans know that the
platform on which he stands will be
; repudiated by the people of Pennsyl
! vania and the candidate with it. We |
| make the following significant ex
tract :
When General Geary was nomina
ted, a series of resolutions was passed
by the Convention which nominated i
| him as the candidate of the "Union":
party, and these resolutions contained
matter vev different from the declara
tion "of principles made at Chicago
when Lincoln and Hamlin were nomi
nated, and at Baltimore when Lincoln
and Johnson wore nominated. They
; also contain assertions concerning the
course which President Johnson has
pursued which are false in point of
fact and grossly offensive in language. I
There cannot be a doubt that those res
olutions were intended to widen the
breach between the friends of the Fed
| eral government, and the revolution
; ists who are striving to subvert the
Constitution.
After the nomination was made we
called upon General Geary to repudi
ate the offensive resolutions, but thus
far he has not done so. There is yet
{•me, In:' we can see no good
for d . lay nor any fur one for refusing
principlewhich now divide the eon
! servativo to state his views candidly
to the people. The portion of the E- :
nion party from the radical eleme nt
arc of such importance that they cun
: not i>e ignored at a time when, the reey ]
life of thf Jiepitblic at stahe. The si
lence of General Geary warrants the
impression that he intends to stand
upon those resolutions, and i( is cer
tain that they art: not the platform of the
Union.
!t is foilv for any one to hatter him
seif with the belief that the radical
! element alone can carry an election in
Pennsylvania, even if the conservative
Enion men should s'mplv refrain from
voting. If any friend of General Geary !
will take the pains to calculate the per
centage of votes which the party now
; dominant in the State can afford to
lose, without incurring the certainty
of defeat, he will find that it is very
small; and if he will then estimate the
number of votes which the party whose
popularity ha- mainly depended upon
its living th Union party will lose by
l takisut au attitude of hostility to the j
Enion, he may he able to' form ajudg
mt nt as to the prospects of General
Geary's election, if lie shall persist in
standing upon the Ilarrisburg rcsolu- i
tions.

; mo::wealth which claimed two hun
' dred ye; r ago, and claims now, to be
a moral prodigy, was the most arbitra

all. Mr. Moore show? th:;! {lie law>

were never formally repcaL d, and that
( it only cc ised to exist then by rea-or i
of the .dying out or removal of tin no- j

old Puritan Commonwealth was, in
point of law, a slave State until PGG,

limits ofthe United States.
"Do you know the prisoner, 31 r.
Wiggins?" "Yes, to the hone." "What
is his character?" "Didn't know he
I had any." "Docs lie live near you?"
"So near that he has only spent FY for
fire wood in eight years."
AT the recent trial of Gallagher, in
Boston, for murder, the iirstjury that

Nothing in the party of "great moral I
ideas" is more striking than their lib
erality in spending other people's mon
ey. 31 r. Thaddeus Stevens >oes no ob
jection to clapping a trifle of "twenty
or fifty millions of dollars" on the hack
of our existing national debt, merely;
as a testimonial of our national sym
pathy withSenor Juarez and Mr. Rom
ero. "Thirty millions," more or loss,
is nothing to Thaddeus Stevens, and,
in fact, it i> but a paltry sum, being on
ly about five times as much as is neces
sary for the support of the national
Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary,
with the governments ofall our Terri
tories.
Such being the magnificent temper ;
of its leader, the party of "great moral ;
ideas" makes no difficulty about vot
ing Captain Fox the use of an iron-chid
ami s2t)o,t)t!(i in money to make a pleas
ant summer-trip to Europe, while hard
ly a week passes by that the Secretary
of War or the Secretary of State does
not order a "special train" for some
distinguished individual on his way
to dine at Washington, the cost of the i
train, if not of the dinner also, being !
defrayed out ofthe national exchequer. |
General Dulce was thus entertained
the other day, and very posdbly San

week.
In England they are growling over
the expenses incurred in carrying "St - j
rene Highnesses" about ihe country to ;
visit the Queen and make love to Ilcr
Majesty's daughters. Our republican
court is much more magnanimous,
spends mom y more freely, and, as we j
are a great and liberal people, is nev
er bothered by impertinent investiga
tions into its little bills and running
accounts.
GEARY'S r.KrTALiTY.
The Ten ■ Democrat, a paper sailing
under false colors, and set up by two
strangers in this community, not sat-I
isfied with advocating the most tit -
graded negroeracy and disunion prin
ciples, or lighting like the Kilkenny :
eats with its kind, meanly and coward
ly tries to defame, behind their hacks,
men born here. A gentlemen of the j
highest respectability visited York, bis j
native place, last week after an absence I
of -It) years. lie was. cordially received
. by his numerou.- relatives and old ac-i
qualntances. But as he came from i
Virginia, the malignant Yankee editor
of this libellous sheet makes a foul and
false attack upon him. The cause of
litis attack upon Mr. Peter Hartman !
I was that while in company with his
: friends, tie related as a part of his ex
perience of John W. Geary, the follow
ing incident, which is not very crodit
| able to the Disunion candidate for Gov
ernor:
Gen. Geary, while in command in
the neighborhood of 31r. Hartman's
place, in Virginia, entered upon it, took
iii-cattle and his sheep, destroyed hi>
fences and burned his barn. Mr. Hart
man knowing the General, being both
Eeniisyivanians, and we might almost
say, neighbors, approached him, and
expostulated wiihliim: "General, how
•s this? What h::\e ! done?" To which
Geary insolently replied: "Ask me no
questions, sir," and wantonly ami wii
• ally allowed the destruction and dep
redation to continue.
We submit to the people of thi- com
munity whether Mr. Hartman or John
\V. Geary, is most entitled to their
sideration. — York Press.
12.1 N UICE'S EI.EPEIANT OX A "TEAK."
Our readers will remember the ele
phant "Romeo," with Dan Rice's
-how, which was in this city a week
ago. This animal .for some time has
been showing indication- of a spirit of
insubordination. He showed a Lad
disposition on the road between (V.r
boiftlale and 3R. Pleasant, refusing" h>
turnout for {earns, Re., Arriving at
X. w Mi [ford, and s:i!i being unruly,
Rice concluded to subdue him, ami for
this purpose they chained his hind legs
to a tree, and endeavored to fasten a
; rope to his fore leg, and -by tlu se means
. throw him. After many fruitless at
tempts, the effort was successful. The
ipo was attached to a tackle, and six
teen n; a combined their strength to
pull him down. He fooled thefti.—
With a blow of hi? trunk he reieaed
hi -fore ieg, and by a treniemfoas ef
fort brokethe chains. The men scat
tered in all directions pursued by the
animal. One of them saw d his life by
bounding over a once, and the ele
phant, for satisfact on, threw down a
; long span of it.
At ii o'clock they laid managed to
throw him, and with clubs and spikes
were: me. avoringto subdueliim. Some
fifty sliots Were fired and tool: effect in
his trunk and other portions of his
body, but they were only Ilea bites, and
were but skin deep.— Scrurdon Herald,

of the case. Judge Durell has declared
his opinion to the same effect, but hes

it is but fair to the bar, as well as to

A WOBI) TO DEMOCRATS.
ft is now time that Democrats every
where, should begin the work of organ
izing and getting ready for the coming
campaign. They should immediately
form active working clubs in each elec
tion district in the county ar.d State.
Brethren of the same political faith
form a close union with each other,
and actively engage in the great con
test that must be decided at the polls
next October. What we want more
than anything else, is organization,
and unless we have it, close vigorous,
and active, we cannot hope to succeed.
We believe there is a large Democratic
majority in Pennsylvania, but it can
not he made effective at the polU
without a wellorganizod effort to bring
it out. In no other manner can we
counteract the powerful organization
of the Onion League, which spreads
over the country like a jjmit act work.
The (a in j aign will open in July, and
before that time our forces must be on
hand to take an active part in the con
t st. Organize then, everywhere, and
that without delay.
A RUMOR centos fi<m Washington
that a person who now culls himself
( amj! ell, although he acknowledges
having appearod before a committee of
Congress under another name, is pro
parod to make a statoment that the
testimony of himself and otic rs, be
fore'the military commission which
murdered rs. Suratt, in relation to
the complicity of Mr. Divis and < there
in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln,
was false. It needed no Daniel come
to judgment to to il us this, but the (lis
■ closures of this man Campbell are in
tero -ting if true—which they may, by
possibility, be. He states that the ev
idence was manufactured by one Gon
rtver, who got up the whole thing, and
; arranged the part that each of the con
federated perjurers was to play in or
der tosecuffe the success Of the scheme.
Campbeliclaims that it is his exposure
of the matter, before the House Judici
ary Committee, which induced them
! to abandon the idea of proceeding a
' gainst Mr. Davis for murder.
What a flimsy webit must have been
if the testimony of such a precious
scamp as this sufficed to "knock it to
' atoms!"
As Congress has got through recon
structing the* country, and ha.-n't any
thing particular to do, it would be, per
; haps, a gObd idea to appoint a com
mittee to investigate thi- man I'anip-

THE A I.W d ry OK S-URAXTON DKM
-1 o< '.GATic.—The first election in the new
city of .Scranton, Luzerne county, was
held last week and re-ill ted in a most
splendid Democratic victory. E. 8. M.
1 lill the editorof the Re?/is(er, a staunch
Democratic journal, was elected Mayor,
by 1>!) Majority. All the other Dem
ocratic candidates on the city tick! t,
except ooe, were elected. In the Select
Council i- a tie, but the Democrat- have
four majority in Common Council. —
The territory embraced within the lim
its of the new City gave a very large
| Republican majority last fail, and so
sure were the disunion abolitionists
that they would carry this election,
that weare told large bets were made
by them on ">OO majority. The spring
flood is -till flowing and the rumbling
of Thed Stevens'earthquake is louder.
The storm will be still more disastrous
in the fall. "Clymerand the Union,"
will sweep away every vestige of fanat
icism. Keep the ball moving.
HENDERSON, of Missouri, introduc
ed a milon the 11th, which was refer
red to the Commit.ee on Agriculture,
providing for the establishment of a
"repertory" in Germany, (at Frahik
fort-on-the-Main,) to illustrate the
physical, political and social condition
of the several States of this Union, and
to furnish a rendezvous for American
travelers, This latter would be very
convenient mr gentlemen of means and

and an appropriation fortlie first year,
for rent and other cxpenst >, of (AO.t ;
l —total $29,500. The liberality if) ex
liii ited by the Ramp thieve- would in
i iisiea stranger to think that every in
' dividual taxpayer in tiiis country
owes a gold mine or a greenback prim
ing press. It is a great mistake, how
ever.
SriiActi'E, the calico Senator from
Rhode Island, intruiue d a bill on the
11th, to reimburse Massachusetts for
war e.xpens; s. That'.- cool, consider
ing that she has already had one pull
upon the treasury. Somebody lead
better introduce a bill now to reim
burse Holland for the Dutchmen who
were imported as i borers by agents ol
j that State, and then humbugged, kid
napped and forced into service to till
the State quotas. Holland has the best
claim, and South Carolina darkies the
next. The third claim is held by or e
i of the agent - who tilled one entire quo
ta with naval paper-credits.
THE Somerset Democrat says that the
soldiets of that county were humbug
ged into a Denary packed convention
under the impression that the subject
!of action was bounties. Many, there
upon, withdrew in disgust. The Dent
j oerfif endorses the proposition for;
Soldiers' State Convention in Harris
burg to support Hiester Clymer.

BREAD AND BUTTER.— HaII, in bis
Jmrnal of Health , gives the following
bit of wisdom:
Bread and butter are the only articles
of food of which we never tire from
early childhood to extreme old age. A
pound of tint flour or Indian mcul ton
tuns three times as much mi at as oi.e
pound of butcher's roast tie!; and if
t io whole product of the grain, i ran
and all, were made into I re d, fiftun
percent more of nutriment would be
puded. Unfortunately the bran, tl e
coarse-1 j art of width gives soundness
to the teeth ar.d strength to the brain,
.s generally excluded.
Five hundred pounds of flour give to
the body thirty pounds of the Louyal
mcnt, while the same quantity of Iran
give- more than one hundred ar.d twen
ty-five pounds.

THE Conservative Republicans of lo

. the :17th of the present month, for the
'purpose of nominating State officers,
' and concluding the organization of a
party opposed to the revolutionary and
! destructive doctrines and practices erf
the Radicals. In noticing this move
ment an lowa exchange says: "The
names appended to the call will be
readily recognized as including those
of the be-t men in lowa. These names
show that the movement is one which
includes the better portion,of all those
who have hitherto acted with the Re

FAILED TO COLONIZE.— It seems,

up the scheme are now petitioning
Congress to reimburse them the a
