A BLACK REBELLIftX IX SOI'TII
CAROLINA.
Some of the negroes of South Caroli
na have risen in rebellion against the
U. S. authorities. A fight has occurr
ed between the colored insurgents and
a force under an agent of the Freed
men:s Bureau, Lieut. Lemon, in which
the latter was badly wounded. The
following despatches to the Associated
Press, show the state of affairs existing
at last accounts.
SAVANNAH, Ga., Jan. 30. —Colonel
Sibley returned in the boat, and reports
that all is quiet now, but he deemed it
necessary to leave a heavy guard to
maintain order. The whole of the trou
ble is laid to Aaron Bradley, a colored
lawyer from Boston, who makes a
boast that he would like to see blood
shed, and promises the negroes that if
they will resist the United States forces
at the point of the bayonet the land will
be theirs.
The burning of the steamer General
Sheply is attributed to thesamesouree.
There is a general spiritof insubordina
tion among the negroes in thisdistrict.
CHARLESTON, S. C, Jan. 31.—A1l is
quiet in Carolina to-day. The negro
Bradley was arrested this morning by
the United States authorities. Lieut.
Lemon is doing well.
"The whole of the trouble is laid to
Aaron Bradley a colored lawyer."
What a sermon is this to the men who
are continually engaged in hampering
the negroes with ideas of white and
black equality ! What a lesson to the
people as to the necessity of restoring
the Southern States to their normal re
lations to the Government! What a
rebuke to the mischievous Radical
Congress which keeps the subject of ne
gro rights in unending agitation! What
a commentary upon the New England
idea of sending "colored lawyers" from
Boston to the South to teach the ne
groes their duty! Do the quiet, law
abiding people of Pennsylvania appre
ciate, in all its enormity, the policy
which makes "Aaron Bradley a color
ed lawyer from Boston, who boasts that
he would like to see blood-shed," a
missionary among the blacks of the
South, to stir them up to insurrection
and murder? If not, it is high time
that they begin to think upon the sub
ject. Here we have aU. S. officer shot
in the discharge of his duty, a vessel
burned, and the negroes called upon to
resist the U. S. forces at the point of the
bayonet, and all this in the name of ne
gro rights. A few more speeches from
our members of Congress, a few more
"colored lawyers" sent on missions to
their brethren, and we shall have a
black rebellion in comparison with
which the horrors of San Domingo will
pale into insignificance.
WE again call attention to the fact
that the Democratic County Commit
tee is requested to met t at the Court
House, at 7 o'clock, on Tuesday eve
ning next, and urge upon its members
the importance of a full tun>out.
WHO PAYS ?
A special detective agent of the Treas
ury department was recently sent to
the Canada border, among the Custom
Houses. He succeeded in making ar
rangements with twenty two revenue
officers fall "loyal men," too, no doubt}
to engage in smuggling goods from
Canada into the United .States. The
Yankees have now a good enough Rec
iprocity Treaty with Canada, in the
present infamous tariff. They smug
gle all the foreign goods they need from
Canada, and compel the rest of the
country to pay exorbitant prices for
their own manufactures. The other
day every New England member of
Congress voted to reduce the duty on
Nova Scotia coal, an article which they
consume very heavily, and find at the
same time, too "unhandy" to smuggle
through by the underground railroad.
THE MARKETS. —PhiI'a, Jan. 30.
Whisky. Nothing doing except in
the contraband article, which sells free
ly at $1.50 and $1.75 per gal.— BhiCa
Press.
Such is the unvarying refrain in the
market reports of the daily press.
Whisky is selling in the open market,
at one-third less than thelnternal Rev
enue tax, and yet not the slightest ef
fort is being made to modify this un
just and ineffective law, which offers
constant temptations to violate it, and
bears oppressively upon no one but the
honest dealer. The retailer of liquor
has begun to discover that he can buy
whisky in Philadelphia at half the
price he pays for that made at home—
if there should be a little strychnine in
it. This is the only way to account for
the number of agents for liquor houses
in Philadelphia, who are traveling the
country in all directions. Unless Con
gress alters the law, the domestic man
ufacturer willengagein the contraband
business too, and the fight tlill then
become a free one between the home
distiller, the Eastern smuggler and
the revenue officers, the latter of whom
can soon be "counted out."
THE " Cambria Freeman'''' is the title
of a new paper published at Ebensburg,
by R. L. Johnston and H. A. McPike.
It is edited with much sprightliness
and is in every respect an improvement
upon the old Sentinel now defunct.
With the inimitalfle "Bob" as its ed
itor, the Freeman is bound to succeed.
We do not see, however, how he he can
devote much attention to the editorial
business, as he is always on the stump.
THE Indiana Democrat , edited and
published by our old friend James
B. Sansom, Esq., comes to us enlarged
and printed on new type. The Demo

THE Huntingdon Monitor has late

paper and should be liberally support

HARRISBURG.
I.ex falls on Genry; legislation for Bed

of Democratic State Committee.
Correspondence of the Bedford Gazette .
HARRISBURG, Feb. 2
Mn. EDITOR:— Tired of looking on
in the galleriesof the Senate and llou.se,
I concluded, to-day, to make a recon
noissance of Gen. Geary's position on
"The Hill." Accordingly, 1 flanked
the Legislature, and by adroitly pick
eting my advance, secured a point of
propinquity to the General. Was it
unnatural, or singular, to note careful
ly, as 1 did, the manners, speech and
general appearance of the new Execu
tive? If so, I can only plead in exten
uation of the fault, that—/ could not
help if. Geary and I are old friends.
I knew him, years ago, in old Cambria;
talked Democracy (what his present
supporters used to call "loco-foco-ism")
with him in old Westmoreland ; puffed
him when he fell (in the ditch) at Che
pultepec; "legged" for him with Mr.
Buchanan when he aspired to the Gov
ernorship of Kansas, and, during the
late war, assisted somewhat (may the
Lord forgive me!) in building up his
newspaper reputation. Notwithstand
ing the fact that I know the man so
well, I felt curious to know how he de
ports himself as Executive of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania. Well,
the Governor bears his blushing hon
ors as meekly as his nature will per
mit. He confesses that the Guberna
torial chair is not cushioned with roses.
From the very hour of his inaugura
tion he has felt the lacerating thorns
placed in tte Executive seat by men of
his o\Vn party, with whom he had but
lately b en on the best of terms. Even
whilst hislnaugural was being deliver
ed, he beheld impatience written all
over the faces of those who ought not
only to have tolerated, but applauded,
his labored address. Even in that
crowning hour of his triumph, he
heard his predecessor in office, Gov.
Curtin, whisper between his clenched
teeth, "My God ! Will the thing nev
er end ?" He feels deeply the enmity
of Curtin and his friends; thinks that
thelatter will secretly endeavor toleave
him in a minority, politically speaking,
in the next Legislature; but, with his
finger on one sideof his nose, intimates
that he is expert enough in turning po
litical somersaults to be always with
the party that is in power. Judging
from his conversation* I think that 6i*
j mon Cameron's position in politics will
always indicate where His Excellency
is to be found. For, says Geary, "1
| made Cameron Senator, and as Simon
I is proverbially true to his friends, he
i cannot be so ungrateful as to refuse to
follow where I may choose to lead."
i But affairs of State crowd upon theat
! tention of the Governor, and 1 must
take my departure. "Call often,"
; said the Governor, "we old Democrats
have a fellow feeling which nothing
on earth is puissant enough to aberun
cate, eradicate, uproot or exterminate!"
and with a bend of his body and a
flourish of his hand, hewaved me from
the Executive presence.
Some legislation affecting your ooun
; ty, has been inaugurated. Senator
Stutzman read, in his place, a few days
| ago, "A bill to remit the Five per Cent
um Penalty to the county of Bedford,"
which was referred to the Committee
|of Judiciary Local. A bill has also
! passed the Senate changing the time
of holding the courts in your district,
i This bill provides that after the first
day of March next, thecourts shall be
gin as follows: In Fulton, on the first
• Monday of April and August; the
| third Monday of October and thesec
; ond Monday of January ; in Frankiin,
on the second Monday of April and
j August; the fourth Monday of Octo
; her and the third Monday of January;
: in Bedford, on the fourth Monday of
! April and August; thesecond Monday
i of November and the first Monday of
I February; in Somerset, on the first
\ Monday of May, the second Monday
! of September, the fourth Monday of
November and the third Monday of
February. A bill has also been repor
ted from the Committee on Education
| to attach certain lands and tenements
in Bedford township to Bedford Bor
| ough, for school purposes.
One of the three contested seats in
the House, has been decided, viz: that
of Glass vs. Linton, from the Cambria
district. Col. Linton, the sitting mem
ber, was elected by a majority of over
SOU, but his opponent, Mr. Glass, rely
ing upon the precedents set by his par
ty, supposed that it would be only nec
essary for him to present himself as a
contestant to insure the ousting of Col.
Linton. But soflimsy was Mr. Glass'
case that his party friends compelled
him to withdraw from the contest.
Two contested cases, one from Phila
delphia, and one from the Lycoming
district, are undecided. The sitting
member in the Philadelphia case (Mr.
Muliin) will, doubtless, retain his seat,
but as to the case in the Lycoming dis
trict, I think the Committee will oust
Mr. Roush, the sitting member. His
majority was only two votes, and the
contestantalleges thatanumber of "de
serters" voted for Mr. Roush. Of
course, the Committee will pay no at
tention to the decision of the Supreme
Court which bears upon this subject.
If they were to regard that decision,
Mr. Roush would retain his seat.
I have just been informed that Gov.
Geary has issued a "previous pardon"
to a Judge of Election, convicted in
the Quarter Sessions of Berks county,
of refusing the vote of a citizen on the
ground of his being an alleged "deser
ter." Truly "justice has fled to bru
tish beasts."
The Democratic State Committee met
hereon Tuesday last. Notwithstand
ing the inclemency of the weather,
there was a pretty full attendance.
The Committee determined to issue a
call for a State Convention to nominate
a candidate for Supreme Judge, to be
held on the second Tuesday of June,
next, and also recommended the elec
tion of two delegates for each Repre
sentative and Senator in the Legisla
ture, to a Mass Convention to be held
at Harrisburg, on a day to be fixed by the
Chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee. The meeting was very harmo
nious.
Hon. S. L.Russell, of your place, was
in town, a few days ago, looking after
some local legislation for your county.

Imppariimenl: The Radicals vs. the Cath

Correspondence of the Bedford Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.
MR. EDITOR:— The impeachment
scheme hangs fire, and as has been pre
dicted, not much, if any, progress will
be made in it by the present Con
gress. The Judiciary Committee which
has the matter in charge, is composed
of the most radical of Radicals, and
will, doubtless, hatch out some trick or
other, by which they expect thev fur
therance of their scheme to lie promo
ted. The infamous Baker, who has
been in the criminal courts time and
again, has presented himself before
the Committee to testify. Other wit
nesses of a similar character are to be
made the instruments of Ashley & Co.,
and had not the notorious Sanford
Conover, upon whose testimony Mrs.
Surratt was convicted' confessed his
perjury in that case, he would, doubt
less, figure as largely in the impeach
ment movement as he did in the trials
of the Assassination Conspirators. The
Conovers have not all confessed yet,
and, I doubt not, plenty ot them will
be on hand to assist the enemies of the
President. It is said that John H.
Surratt is to be brought before the
Committee, and if he can be suborned
to testify to something that will dam
age Mr. Johnson, he is to be set at lib
erty. Wouldn't such an arrangement
speak highly for the justice and honesty
of a Radical Congress. But with all
these convenient witnesses at hand, 1
do not think that the present Congress
will be able to accomplish anything
in the way of impeachment. The For
tieth Congress may undertake to carry
the matter further, as "Old Cock-eye" j
(Ben. Butler) will be a member of that
body, and he is a terrible fellow, to-be
sure, having already impeached Brick
Pomeroy. At present the Radical Mon
grelsaje so divided into factions, that
they are unable to agree upon any
measure, and I hope and believe that
they will not be more harmonious In
the next Congress. Tliad. Stevens has
lost the control of his fellow destruc
tives, the Pennsylvania Legislature
having used him up most effectually.
He has succeeded but once, since his
defeat for U. S. Senator, in tallying a
majority for any measure he has advo
cated. The other day he njoved to
utrikeout the mission to Rome, on
the ground thkt protectant worship
was prohibited within the wails of that
city. He was asked for proof of this
allegation, but could give nothing but
hearsay. The Government hail receiv
ed no official information whatever,
upon the subject. But the old hatred
of the Catholics still cherished by the
Mungrel Know Nothings now trans
formed into Radicals, found vent in
the resolution offered by Stevens and
it was carried. How any Catholic can,
in future, vote with these men, passes
my comprehension.
Your representative, Mr. Koontz,
"spoke a piece," the** other day. His
speech was almost entirely devoted to
a discus-ion of the right of the negro
"to wield the ballot." He argued in
favor of granting suffrage to the negroes,
without limit or qualification. Did the
people of your district bargain for tiffs,
when they voted for him last fall?
The President has vetoed the bills for
the admission of Nebraska and Colora
do. In the case of the former it is al
leged that it does not contain sufficient
population, and that about one half of
its inhabitants are opposed to admis
sion. Colorado, itself, protests against
admission, through its territorial House
of Representatives. Yet the Radicals,
for thesake ofstrengthening themselves
in Congress and in the Electoral Col
lege, insist upon forcing these States
into ihe Union. Hon. Philip John
son, of the "Tenth Legion" district in
your State, died night before last, of
congestion of the liver. His death was
sudden and unexpected, though he had
not been in good health for some time.
His remains will be interred in the
Congressional Cemetery in this city.
Hon. Henry S. Magraw, formerly State
Treasurer of Pennsylvania, died here,
on Thursday last, of apoplexy. Mr.
Magraw has latterly been a citizen of
Maryland, and at his death, represent
ed the county of Cecil in the Maryland
Legislature. PRY.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
CONSUMPTION CURABLE BY DR.
SCHENCK'S MEDICINES.—TO cure consumption, the
system must be prepared so that the lungs will
heal. To accomplish this, the liver and stomach
must first be cleansed and an appetite created for
good wholesome food, which, by these medicines
will be digested properly, and good healthy blood
made; thus building up the constitution. Schenek's
JSanarake Pills cleanse the stomach of all bilious
or mucous accumulations; and, by using the Sea
Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well
as medicinal, and, by using the three remedies, all
impurities are expelled from the system, and good,
wholesome blood made, which will repel all dis
ease. If patients will take there medicines ac
cording to directions, consumption very frequently
in its last stage yields readily to their action.—
Take the pills frequency, to cleanse the liver and
stomach. It does not follow that because the bow
els are not costive they are not required, for some
times in diarrhoea they are necessary. The stom
ach must be kept healthy, and an appetite created
to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act on the respir
atory organs properly and allay any irritation.
Then all that is required to perform a permanent
cure is, to prevent taking cold. Exercise about
the rooms as much as possible, eat iall the richest
food—fat meat, game, and, in fact, anything the
appetite craves; but be particular and masticate
