We are just now under the rule of
King Caucus-. His Secret Majesty sits
enthroned at Washington, with Ste
vens and Wadeand Fornevas his min
isters of State. Time was when the
laws of our country were made in the
light of day, when every member of
the legislative body was permitted to
lake part in thedeterminaiion of ques
tion- before it, when a free peopleeould
sit in the galleries and listen to all the
arguments adduced on all sides of siu h
questions; but now a parli/.an majori
ty meet in secret- conelave, and deter
mine, as partizans, not as honest legis
lators, what laws are to he enacted ai: 1
what, measures are to be rejected. To
night they resolve to pi-- a certain
bill; to-innrrow it wiil be reported in
the House and passed under the gag of
the previous question and the whip
and .-pur of the slave-drivers of the
Rump. The minority are allowed to
protest and—that is all. The pa--uge
of the measure has been pre-determin
ed by the secret C-twits, and nothing
can prevent its adoption. Now, we
submit, in all candor, is this legi-lation
according to the spirit and intent of a
Republican government? Are our
laws to be made by a secret Cawus, in
stead of an open L'i/iskdnn Are the
minority to be considered as nonenti
ties who have no brains to think, and
no tongues to speak, or rather who
have no right to exercise their brains
in thinking, or their tongue- in speak
ing? If so, let the people know it.
If so, King Caucus mu-t he slain! We
say, given- Revolution, give us War,
give us Death, rather than such -la
very !
XVIII oovr vol TRY HIM?
Mr. Mongrel, why don't your recon
structed, regenerated Supreme Court
proceed with the trial of Jefferson
Davis ? You have called him "traitor,"
you have accused him of murder, you
have damned him as the vilest incar
nation of all that is evil and hateful;
now, why don't you try him, anil if
found guilty of treason, or murder, or
arson, or larceny, by a jury of his peers,
empaneled according to law, punish
him according to the grade of his of
fence? Why do you keep him im
mured in that fort down by the sea,
boarding and clothing and guarding
him at the expense of the government?
If his guilt be so patent and indisputa
ble, there can be no doubt of his convic
tion. You would try a common felon,
a horse-thief, a highway robber, or a
murderer, but this criminal of crimi
nals, this prince of traitors (so your
vocabulary runs; you refuse to try, and
through your negligence lie remains
unhanged. Yet you prate about the
"punishment of treason," and "trai
tor-" being made "odious." Ah ! ye
hypocrites! You are afraid lest the
Supreme Court will define "treason" a
somcthiug el-e than what you have
been preaching fur the last six years.
You fear that your own Judge Chase,
holding his old State Right views,
under which he and you nullified the
Federal Fugitive Slave Law, will be
compelled to decide that Davi* is not
ffttifh/ of In ■son. We understand you,
and the people will, sooner or later,
learn to understand you. You had
better try that man in prison down at
Fortress Monroe. Your masters, the
people, are beginning to inquire into
the cause of your delay. Look out!
oh, ye slippery, there are some sharp
turns in your path, around which you
will find it troublesome to wriggle.
You had better try Jeff. Davis before
the next election in Pennsylvania.
THE Franklin Ileposilory seems to
think that a political organization
oyght not to rejoice at the overthrow
of doctrines which it combats, but only
over the attainment of the sjwils by the
success of it- candidates for office. Not
an unnatural conclusion to he arrived
at by Col. M'Clure.

DIM. TIMES.
"Business is dull!" Such is the ex
clamation we hear, now-a-days, from
every body. Well, is it any wonder ;
that business is dull?" For the year ;
ending June 30,1806, the Federal (lov
er u men t collected from the people of >
the United States, over fee hundred ;
millions of dollars in the shape of tax
es. For the present year the estimate j
: from the samesourccs is; hundred and
\ffty millions of dollars! In 18-3S-9, a
fellow by the name of Ed. McPherson,
whom some of the Mongrels in this
Congressional district may remember,
got himself elected to Congress, on the
| ground that the people were taxed too ;
heavily to keep up the government,
which was then administered at a cost
of about niin!y millions per annum, and
j without any Interna' It- venue Tax \
whatever. All the financial troubles
of the country were then laid at the j
j door of the Democracy, because, as was
j alleged, the expenditures of the Gov
ernment bore too heavily upon the pro
ductive industry of the country! If,
' McPherson and his party stated the
; true cause of the depression in business
i then, how much greater reason is there
, to believe that the same cause quintup
led in degree, is at the bottom of the
dudne-s in business, now? The fact is
that the Mongrel Rump Congress has
legislated capital into the hands of the
i few an 1 taxed the many so outrageous- I
ly, that we are fast tending toward a
financial pmic. A change in t'ae polit
ical complexion oi Congress must lie
I and will he had, ere this state of tilings
| can be remedied.
, Tin: Rump Congress, as will be seen
hv the proceedings of Monday last, are
about to begin the work of legislating
I the President out of office. The cow
ardly knave- dare not impeach him.
They are afraid of the wrath of the
people. Impeachment would cause
I the populace to pause and think even
in the midst of the whirlwind before
: which they are being driven to the dev
il. Hence the plotting miscreants who
load and drive the Rump, mean to ac
complish by indirection, what they
fear to undertake by an open and un
disguised effort. They wiil take the
pardoning power from the President;
they will rob him of the appointing
power; they will pass laws over his
veto and compel him to execute them ;
and thus they will shear him of all
strength and make the Presidential of
fice a blank in the government. With
the Executive thus blotted out of ex
istence, we -hall be ruled by an oligar
chy, a miserable, corrupt and tyran
nical (aliens, in defiance of the Consti
tution and in utter contempt of the in- j
tere-tsand safetv of the people. Thus
i- our form of government about to he
overturned. Thus is the rebellion of
the Rump being quietly carried for
ward to -ueee—. Will we, ought we,
I can we submit to tyranny like this?
The Democrat- of Bedford county

The Gazette in one of its headings on ;
the subject, has the following: "Hick

The "unterrified" of Bedford have a
better way of bending to iheir defeat
than that of other counties.—Hunting

That's a fact, Brother Lewis. Don't f
you remember that Douglas flag-raising

was quite a bender then and there, but
nothing was broken.

Correspondence of the Bedford Gazette.
WASHINGTON, D. C., i
Dec. I, 1860. j
MR. EDITOR: —I arrived here yester
day and found a half a dozen Senators
and about twice that number of M.C's
scattered about at f he different hotels.
They are a shabby looking set and I
instinctively clapped my hand on my
pocket-book whenever I came near
one of them. Old Thad. has been !
! hobbling around here for some days,
i It is said that he is preparing articles!
of impeachment upon which Andy
Johnson is to he tried by the Bump
Senate. I have no doubt that Thadde
us would like to have the President
I kicked out, hut he is a little afraid of
the effect which an attempt at that sort
of thing would have upon the future
of the Mongrel party. He may have
been thinking seriously of preferring
article- of impeachment against the
President, but some of the moneyed
men of his party have doubtless put
j martingals and holding-hack-straps on
j him, and I think he win beeurbed, and
if necessary, thrown back upon his
i haunches, by the Jehu- who drive the
Bump wagon. Chase, the peripatetic,
speech-making, caucusing, Jeff. Davis
dodging, negro-palavering "Chief Jus
: tic" has been to see the aforesaid Tlmd
deus, and lias, doubtless, given him a
wordof caution. The slippery Salmon
has no idea of having the chances of
i the next Mongrel candidate for th<
Pn-idcncy, spoiled by any -ueh foolish
operation as the impeachment of ITes
i blent Johnson. This is quite natural.
Salmon expects to be that candidate
| himself.
There is some speculation here as to
the political tone of the forthcoming
message of the President. The best
information lean get on the subject,
as-ures me that Mr. Johnson will not
j abandon any of the positions assumed
iby him during th past year. He need
not re-iterate those positions in his
inc.—age. He has stated them fully in
former messages and in public speeches.
He has urged the propriety of their a
doption by Congress, which the latter
ha.- persistently and insultingly rcfu
- (1 to do, and now he can do nothing
more than wait for Congress to act.
The Amendment proposed at the last
session is dead, there being no possibil
ity of its ratification by the constitu
tional three fourths of the States, hence
Congress will be compelled to set up a
new programme. With reference to
this the Pre-ident occupies the vantage
ground, for he has defeated the former
i
plan of Congress and am, in the same
manner, defeat any unconstitutional
or improper proposition. Therefore,
the President can afford to wait until
('ongress moves.
There is still some talk about the re
moval of Secretary Stanton. I doubt
whether there is any pro!lability of
■ such an auspicious event occurring very
soon. However, should a change le
made in the War Office, I hope some
able Pennsylvania!! will he made the
; new Secretary. The Keystone State is
always the battle-ground in Presiden
tial elections, and a vigorous and ear
nest man in the Cabinet would in-ure
a Conservative triumph in that State.
1 know that Stanton permitted Thad.
Stevens to use the patronage of the
War Department against the political
friends of the President in the late
campaign, if Mr. John-on knows
this, he ought not to expect the people
to support him so long as he encoura
ge- such treason in ids own Cabinet.
If lie is ignorant of it, it i- high time
: that heshouid beenlightened in regard
to it. It can easily he proved, and if
the President desires the evidence it
will be laid before him.
A "mass welcome" is to be given to
the Buuiperson the 10th in-t., under
the auspicesof the Shoddy contractors,
Uniform-manufacturer-, Sutler-, Camp
follower- and such Cotton-stealing (ien
; erals as Banks and Butler, connected
I with the late war. They have invited
the true soldiers of the country to par
ticipate in their humbug, with the
double purpo- • of over-aweing the
President and of committing the sol
diers to an endorsement of Congress
ional usurpation. But the real secret
at the bottom of this movement is,
j that the chaps who are at the head of
it, have "axes to grind" which grind
i iugthey want to have done on the C'on
gre -ional grind-stone. Hence, they
I hope to propitiate the grim Bout well
' and the terrible Stevens, by tickling
their vanity and appeasing their ap
i petite for the "creauturn -omforts."
| Congress will meet on M nday next,
i Lively times may be expected among
the Solous of that laxly, i hear that
j an effort will be ma le to provide, by
j the pa-sage of a law, for the assembling
! of tiie next Congress on the nth of
March, IXO7, theday following the ex
piration of the legal existence of the
present Bump, so that Congress may
be in continual session and take the
government in its own hands. A re
publfan proposition, truly! But e
nough for this time from PBY.

The question of raising the negro to
full political equality with white men,
says the Age, cannot be detached from
the general one connected with a i
speedy and satisfactory adjustment of i
j tlie issues now dividing the States, j
| They are indissolubly associated. \
So long as the Radicals insist upon
making the acceptance of the doctrine :
of negro suffrage by the South neees-j
I sary in order that their claims for po
I litical fellowship may be considered, !
so long will they act in a manner cal
culated to keep the States apart and
! alienate the people. The negro ques- j
| tion is one full of danger in the future.
1 It is so recognized by aU the leading
soldiers and statesmen of the country.
The following sentiments expressed in
; General Sherman's well-known letter
to Chief Justice Chase, just after the'
■ close of his great march v are important |
jas bearing upon this point. The Gen- j
| eral writes as follows:
STEAM EU PRUSSIA, BEAUFORT JIAKRUB, \
M:Y 6, JSO6 —S o'clock P. X. J
I am not yet prepared to receive the
I negro on terms of political equality,
for the reason it will raise passions and
i prejudices at the North, superadded to
| the causes yet dormant at the South,
that might rekindle the war, whose i
fires are now dying out, and which, by i
skillful management might he kept j
down. As you must observe, I pro
pose to work with known facts rather
; than to reason ahead to remote conclu
■ I sions.

j —On Thursday last Secretary Seward
read at a special Cabinet meeting the
draft of his dispatch to Minister Bige
; low, commenting on Napoleon's breach
! of faith in not withdrawing the French
i troops according to agreement. After
1 thcdespatch was read the Cabinet voted
j unanimously that its tone he made
i stronger by insisting that the French
j troops be withdrawn in pursuance of
; the previous arrangement to that effect.
| Another despatch from Washington
states that the only cause of the delay
on the part of France arose ironi the
fact that it has been thought more pru
dent to remove the whole of the French
troops from Mexico at once. No offi
cial confirmation of the report that
■ General Sedgwick had crossed the Rio

I the statement is untrue.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 3.
The weather is as pleasant as could
he desired. The galieries of the two
branches of Congress are densely crowd
ed. Those of the House are not suffi
ciently large to accommodate all seek
ers of admission. The members of the
House are present in full force.
Long before noon the men of both
parties were seen shaking hands with
marked cordiality, and conversing on
other subjects than politics. A mere
looker on would scarcely suspect that
differences ever divided them, so hearty
are they in greeting.
SENATE.
The Senate was called to order at 12
o'clock precisely, by Mr. Foster, presi
dent, protein. Prayer hv the Chaplain,
Rev. Dr. Gray, of the Baptist church.
Mr. Anthony presented the follow
ing resolves, winch were severally
adopted :
That the Secretary inform the House
that a quorum of the Senate is assem
bled ; that the hours for meeting of
the Senate he twelve o'clock, until
otherwise ordered; that a committee
of two lie appointed to join a commit- j
tee of the House and wait upon the
President to receive his message.
Mr. Sunnier said if there was no bu- |
sine.— before the Senate he would move i
to call up Senate hill No. 1, "An act to
regulate the elective franchise in the
District of Columbia."
HOUSE.
The Rev. Dr. Boynton opened the
House with a prayer of thankfulness
for the results of the late elections,
which tend, he said, to establish the
principles of liberty to all classes and
conditions of men.
The roll of members was called, when
one hundred and forty-six answered to
their names. Three new members
were sworn in from Tennessee and two
from Kentucky.
A committee was appointed to wait
on the President and inform him that
Congress had assembled and was ready
to receive any communication.
Mr. Eliot, Mass., asked leave to in
troduce a hill to repeal the 13th section
of the act of July 17th, 1862, which
section authorizes the President to
grant pardon and amnesty to persons
who took part in the rebellion.
Mr. Finck, Ohio, objected, and the
rules were suspended so as to allow the
bill to bo introduced.
(Mr. Eliot's bill was then put upon
| it- passage, and was passed by a vote of
| 111 to 23.
A resolution was adopted calling for
! information as to the arrest and escape
of John 11. Surratt.
A hill was introduced and referred,
directing the sale of $2,000,000 of gold
by the Secretary of the Treasury, ev
ery Monday; also, a bill for the meet
ing of Congress on the Ith of March.
2 p.m. —The President's message has
just been received. Mr. Stevens mov
ed to postpone the reading until to
morrow. The motion was rejected,
| and the clerk proceeded to read the
I message.
Mr. Stevens introduced a hill to reg
ulate removals from office, which was
made the special order for Friday
next.
Mr. Schenck, Ohio, introduced a bill
to equalize the bounties of soldiers,
sailors and marines. Referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs.

AMERICAN WATCH,
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS.,
IS THE BEST,
i It is made on the best principle. It is composed
;of SOLID ULATES. No jar can interfere with the
j harmony of its working, and no sudden shock can
! damage its machinery Every piece is made and
finished by machinery, (itself famous for its novelty,
i as well as for its effectiveness,) and is therefore
j properly made. The watcb is what all mechanism
! should be— ACCURATE, SIMPLE, STRONG AND F.CO
! NOMICAL. Except some high grades, too costly for
| general use. foreign watches are chiefly made by
| women and boys. Such watches are composed of
i several hundred pieces, screwed and riveted to
! gether. and require constant repairs to keep them
iin any kind of order. All persons who have enr
! ried "uncres," ••lepines," and - English Patent
| Levers." are perfectly well aware of the truth of
. this statement.
| At the beginning of our enterprise, more than
; ten years ago, it was our first object to make a
j thoroughly good low-priced watch for the million,
to take the place of these foreign impositions, the
j refuse of foreign factories, which were entirely un
j saleable at home and perfectly worthless every
| where.
| How well we have accomplished this may he
j understood from the fact that after so many years
I of public trial we now make MORE THAN HALE OP
j ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES,
| and that no others have ever given such universal
j satisfaction. While this department of ou.- busi
• ness is continued with increased facilities for per
j feet work, we are at present engaged in the man
; ufacture ot watches of the very HIGHEST GRADE
j KNOWN TO UHRONOSIETRY, unequaled by anything
j hitherto made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by
' anything mad" in the world. For this purpose
|we have the amplest facilities. We have erected
an addition to our main building expressly for
j this branch of our business, and have filled it with
the best workmen in our service. New machines
and ippli inccs have been constructed, which per
fria their work with consummate delicacy and
I exactness. The choicest and most approved ma
t' tic's only are used, and wc challenge comparison
betw. en his grade of our work and the finest im
ported chronometers. We do not pretend to sell
our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign watches
! but we Jo assert, without fear of contradiction,
that for the SAME MONEY our product is incompa
i bly superior. All our watches, of whatever grade,
are fully warranted, and this warrantee is good
I at all times against us or our agents in all parts of
' the world
j CAUTION. —The public are cautioned to buy only
!of respectable dealers All persons selling'couii

RINOW POWDER.—Patented May
| n 29, 1866. This is an article for washing with
out rubbing, except in very dirty places, which
will require a very slight rub. and unlike other
preparations offered for a like purpose, WILL NOT
HOT the clothes, but will Leave them much WHITER
than ordimuy methods, without the usual wear
I and tear
It removes grease spots as if by magic, and sof
tens the dirt by soaking, so that rinsing will inor
j ditiary cases entirely remove it.
i This powder is prepared in accordance with
j chemical science, and upon a process peculiar to
itself, which is secured by Letters Patent. It has
been in use for more than a year, and has proved
itself an universal favorite wherever it has been
used. Among the advantages claimed are the tot
lowing. viz :
It saves all the expense of soap usually used on
cotton and linen goods.
It saves most of the labor of rubbing, and wear
and tear
Also, for cleaning windows it is unsurpassed.—
With one quarter the time and labor usually re
quired it imparts a beautiful gloss and lustre.
I much superior to any other mode. No water re
j quired except to moisten the powder.
| Directions with each package,
i And cau be readily appreciated by a single
j trial. The cost of washing for a family of five or
t six persons will not exceed THREE CENTS.
The manufacturers of this powder are aware
' that many useless compounds have been iutrodu
; eed to the public which have rotted the cloth, or
I failed in removing the dirt, but knowing the in
j trinsic excellence of this article they confidently
j proclaim it as being adapted to meet a demand
which has lung existed, and which has heretofore
remained unsupplied.
