THE Radical party from its very in
ception down to the present time, has
been a party of treachery and double
dealing. It has never fought a cam
paign openly and manfully, nevcs de
clared to the country, before the elec
tion, its real principles and purposes.
The ultraism of its leaders needed only
to be avowed to be repudiated by the
people. Hence its uniform policy has
been to deny the real issues and carry
the elections on false ones. This it has
done from first to last, with an unblush
ing effrontery that baffles description.
From 1856 to 1860 that party, through
every authoritative channel, through
its press and stump-speakers, its State:
and National Conventions, solemnly
declared tothe country that it intend
ed no interference with slavery in the
States. Mr. Lincoln, in his inaugural
address, reiterated the same doctrines
that had cheated the country into his
support. Congress followed this by
joint resolutions deliberately repeating
the same solemn lie. The sequel is
familiar to all. As soon as they had
the country hopelessly involved in
war, this party, false to all its pledges,
but true to its secret intentions from
the first, abolished slavery by a single
stroke of the Presidential pen.
They have always shirked the ques
tion of Negro Suffrage and Negro E
quality, and yet these doctrines are as
much a part of their creed as the ten
commandments are a part of the Bi
ble. Their leaders have intended
from the first, to stop at nothing less
than complete social and political equal
ity between the two races. Their de
nial of this was only another instance
of their cowardly mode of warfare.
In this, as in every thing else, they
have uniformly gone into the contest
with an honest flag floating over a pi
rate's deck, and thus achieved their
victories.
They have, however, at last seen
proper to throw off their disguise and
unfurl the black flag that marks the
true character of their craft. Congress,
at its present session, has established
unqualified negro suffrage in the Dis
trict of Columbia and in \ all the terri
tories of the "United States. It has al
so passed a law excluding the Southern
States from the Union until they shall
establish Negro Suffrage. These acts,
it seems to us, render it impossible for
the Radical leaders longer to conceal
their real purposes from the people.
The issues must hereafter be squarely
met. It remains to be seen whether
the country will indorse these meas
ures ; whether this party of fraud, hy
pocrisy and lies, can be continued in
power after it has cheated and betrayed
the great body of its own followers.
THE Radicals in Congress have at
last declared their deliberate purpose
to exclude the South from the Union
until Negro Equality is established by
the several State Constitutions. In the
meantime the Southern people are to
be governed by the bayonet. Armies
'are to be quartered upon them, and
the military is to be superior to the
civil power. Military commissions
with all their infernal incidents, are to
take the place of Courts of Justice.
Such are the provisions of the Military
Subjugation Bill as it at last passed
both houses of Congress. The infamy
of this measure is unparalleled in the
annals of oppression. Never before
were a conquered and unresisting peo
ple so mercilessly compelled to bite the
dust. But one result can follow. A
spirit of hatred and vengem e, the nat
ural offspring of tyranny, will spring
up all over the South. A dozen Po
lands and Irelands are established
within our borders, and standing ar
mies are necessary to keep them in
subjugation. God alone can foresee
where all this will end.

the Rump Senate as Assessor of Inter

EDITORIAL CORRESI'OXDEXCE.
IIARRISBURG, Feb. 23, 1867.
DEAR GAZETTE: —Having a few
moments of leisure, I will jot down
some desultory notes touching things
at the State Capital. The legislature
is not in session at present, having ad
journed on Thursday last to meet on
Tuesday next. This adjournment, it
isalleged by some of the majority, was
effected because of the respect the Leg
islature are supposed to entertain for
the memory of thatold Virginia rebel,
George Washington ; but it is shrewd
ly surmised that since Andy Johnson's
disquisition on defunct ducks, the Rad
icals regard this as diesirac , and, there
foie, think it best to keep quiet whilst
its hours are passing. At any rate the
glorious Twenty-Second was permitted
to go by without any demonstration in
its honor by the Radical Legislature of
Pennsylvania.
There is still some little talk about
! the Pittsburg and Connellsviile Rail
| road bill which was lost in the Senate,
| a few days ago. The bill will soon be
! acted upon in the House, but I think
, will fail there also. There is a good
; deal of acrimony between the friends
| of this bill and those of the Pennsylva
| nia Railroad, and in the debate upon
j the bill in the Senate, the Speaker was
: frequently compelled to check Senators
j in their attempts to reflect upon each
: other's motives. It is a sad thing that
i jealousy of sectional interests should
thus divide and distract the counsels of
the legislature in regard to railroad im
provements, and the people should a
i wake to the necessity of electing men
j to that body whose broader views and
earnest desires for the good of the peo
ple of every section of the State will
put an end to legislation which favors
one locality to thedetrimentof another.
I fear that there is but little prospect of
the enactment of a Free Railroad Law.
True, there may some law be passed
which will bear such a title, but the bills
which I find on the tiles of the two j
Houses, professing to be "free railroad
laws," would make an infinitely worse j
system than that which exists at pres- j
ent. One of them, for instance, pfopo- j
ses to erect a "Railroad Bureau," the j
"Comptroller of Railroads," to be ap-!
pointed by the Governor. There is j
too much one man power in this to be
a safe measure, and at any rate we want j
as few bureaux in this country as possi
ble. There are generally too many j
drawers in such institutions to suit the i
pockets of the people. Another bill
(the "free railroad" law pur excellence)
constitutes the Secretary of the Com
monwealth the head of a railroad de
partment, and requires that fifteen
thousand dollars of stock shall be sub
scribed for every mile of railroad to be
built, ten thousand dollars of which
must be subscribed and ten per cent, of
the ten thousand dollars paid up, be
fore permission will be granted by the
Secretary of the Commonwealth to a
ny company to act as a corporation.
This bill, also, makes the members of
companies individually liablefor every
responsibility incurred by such compa
nies. I should like to see the railroad
that will be constructed under such a
law as this. If we are to have a "free
railroad law" at all, let it be free in the
true sense of the term. Let us have
no Railroad Autocrat at llarrisburg,
but, as railroads are a public blessing,
let us have a law which will permit a
nyman, or set of men, under proper
restriction, to construct all the railroads
they please. If we cannot have such
a "free railroad law," it will be infi
nitely better to have none at all.
There is not much said about the pro
posed Constitutional Convention. The
Radicals are very reticent in regard to
the matter. Ls there any doubt that
such a body should assemble? I think
not. Our State system needs remodel
ing. The local interests of this great
Commonwealth are so various and di
versified that justice to all of them de
mands that communities rather than
counties or municipalities, should have
representation in the Legislature. A
gain, the office of Auditor General
should be abolished, and instead there
of, a board of State Auditors should be
erected, to consist of two persons, both
to be chosen at the same election, and
each voter to cast a ballot for but one of
them. This would operate as an effect
ual check to all partizan white-wash
ing Of the plundering of the Treasury.
Other reforms, of which I have not
space to speak at present, would also
engage the attention of such a body.
I, therefore, hope, almost against hope,
that the Legislature will yet adopt a
call for such a Convention.
I have just learned that Gen. A. 11.
Coffroth, Assessor of Internal Revenue
for our district, and Col. R. C. Svvope,
Collector of Internal Revenue lor the
same, have both been rejected by the
U. S. Senate. lam sorry for this, per
sonally speaking, as they were both
excellent officers and good friends of
the subscriber. I cannot see why the
Senate refuses toconrfim the appoint
ments of President Johnson, as their
refusing to do so does not restore the
Radicals to office, but operates only to
give the vacant places to other friends
of the President.
There has been lately some legisla
tion for Bedford county, among which
I notice the passage bv the House of
the bill to incorjK>rate the "Morrison's
Cove liailroad Company," which com
pany, I understand, is to build a road
to connect Wood berry with Newry,
Blair county. I must close. An re

CONGRESS.
SENATE.—The President was reques
ted to inform the Senate whether any
salary has been paid to Mr. Ilarvey the
United States Minister to Portugal, since
; the passage of the Diplomatic Appro
' priation bill of July 2oth, 1866, The bill
to quiet land titles in California, and al
so the bill to amend the act providing
for the safety of passengers in steam ves
sels, were taken up and passed. The
Clerk of the House, at 12.40 P. M., an
nounced that the House refused to con
cur in the Senate amendments to the
bill providing for the establishment of
military governments in the Southern
States and asked a committee of confer
ence. A motion was then made by Mr.
Williams that the Senate should insist
on its amendments and appoint aeom
mittee. After a long and spirited discus
sion, in which Messrs. Williams, Sum
ner and Fessenden spoke in favor of
the motion, and Messrs. Conneas, Sher
man, Lane, Wade and Brown against
it, themotion was withdrawn. The mo
tion was then made that tiie Senate in
sist on its amendments. Messrs. Sher
man and Trumbull then made speeches
in favor of the motion. At the close of
Mr. Trumbull's speech a warm discuss
ion sprung up upon his having stated
that theFreedmen's Bureau bill was
not executed by the President. Mr. Cow
an denounced the habit of tiie Senators
from Massachusetts (Wilson and Sum
ner) and Howard, of Michigan, of re
citing to the Senate accounts of alleged
murders ond outrages on the freedmen
in the Southern States, which he bow
ed to be wholly unfounded. A vote
was finally taken on tlie motion that
the Senate insist on its amendmentsand
it was agreed to. The Senate then took
a recess until 7} o'clock P. M.
j keening Session. —A number of bills
i were reported from the Committee on
j Military Aifairsand passed by theSen
l ate. Among them was the bill prohibi
ting any system of peonage in New
Mexico, or in any other Territory or
State. A bill providing for the tempo
rary increase of the pay of officers of
the army was also passed. The Senate
soon after adjourned.
HOUSE.—The House resumed the
consideration of the bill to establish
military governments in the Southern
States, the question being on the mo
tion to concur in theSenateamendments
thereto. A vote was taken and resulted
yeas 73, nays 98, so the House refused
to concur, and a com m i ttee ofconference
was ordered. The report of the com
mittee of conference on the disagreeing
vote of the two Houses on the hill to
regulate the tenure of certain civil offi
ces, making the tenure of Cabinet offi
cers during the tenure of the President
appointing them, but making their re
moval subject to the approval of the
Senate, was agreed to. A communica
tion was received from the Secretary of
State, statingthat the States of Indiana,
Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota and New
York have given official notification of
their adoption of the constitutional
amendment. A despatch was received
announcing the death of Samuel Down
ey, the last surviving soldier of the
Revolution. The House concurred in
the Senate amendments to the hill pro
viding for the election of a Congression
al printer. The House then went into
Committee nf the Whole and took up
the Army appropriation bill. This hill
appropriates over twenty-four million
dollars. Pending its consideration the
House took a recess until 7.30 P. M.
Evening Session. —A message was re-,
ceived from the Senate announcing the
refusal of that body to recede from its
amendments to the bill establishing
military governments in the Southern
States. * The resolution introduced by
Mr. Banks to send relief to cer tain Sout h
ern States was taken up and passed.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole on the Army Appropria
tion bill, and after some time spent
thereon the committee rose and the
House took up the message of the Sen
ate, insisting upon its amendments to
the bill providing for military govern
ments in the Southern States. A mo
tion was made that the House recede
from its disagreement, and concur in the
Senate amendments with an additional
amendment, providing that no person
who is unable to hold office under the
bill shall be allowed a seat in the con
stitutional convention or permitted to
vote for memb. rs of such convention.
A motion to lay the bill on the table
was voted down. A number of dilatory
motions were then made. Pending the
bill providing for the establishment of
military governments in the Southern
States, a motion was made to concur in
theSenateamendments. A motion to
lay on the tab'e was voted down. A
number of dilatory motions were then
made, and finally at ten minutes past
eleven the House adjourned, s with the
understanding that tiie vote on the
motion ponding shall be taken to-day.
SENATE.—Several bills in relation to
a flairs in the District were reported
from the Committee on the District of
Columbia. The Clerk ofthe Ilousean
nounced the concurrence of that body
in the Senate amendments to the hill
providing for the establishment of mil
itary governments in the Southern
States, and also the adoption of addi
tional amendments by the House. A
long discussion ensued on amotion that
the Senate concur in the House amend
ments, and a number of speeches were
made. Mr. Johnson,of Maryland, made
a speecli in which, after a long eulogy
of the South, heannounced that though
he did not approve of the bill be would
nevertheless vote for it. Withouttaking
a vote tiie Senate took a recess until
7.30 o'clock I'. M.
HOUSE.—The House resumed the
consideration of the bill to establish
military governments in the Southern
States as amended by the Senate. A
motion was made to concur in the Sen
ate amendments, with the amendment
ottered last night by Mr. Wilson of
lowa, declaring certain persons iueligi- ;
ble to seats in State constitutional con
ventions, and also depriving them of
the right to vote for mem lie rs of such
conventions. An amendment was otter
ed by Mr. Shellabarger, of Ohio, as an
addition to Mr. Wilson's amendment,
providing that all governments formed
in the States shall be regarded as tem
porary and subject to tiie control of the
United States until such States shall be
admitted to representation in Congress,
and increasing the number of persons
who are to be disqualified from holding
office. The previous question was then
demanded and seconded on Mr. Wil
son's amendment as amended, and a
vole was taken which resulted in the
adoption ofthe amendment—yeas 1)8,
nays 70. The Senate amendments as
amended were then agreed to by a vote
of yeas 125 to nays 46. The bill to reo.-
ganize and equip the militia was then

tional Guard might be organized within
the late insurgent States, to be compos
ed of loyal men without distinction of

army bounty bill to sailors and mar
ines. A bill was passed authorizing the j
distribution of one hundred and ninety |
•
thousand dollars among the officers and
crew of the United States steamer Kear
sarge for the destruction of the Confed

and Means reported a bill to provide
ways and means for the payment of

the Senate amenduiv nts thereto, was
taken up and the i louse refused to agree

committee of conference was ordered on
the disagreeing votes ofthe two Houses.
The bill making approoriatiou for the
consular and diplomatic expenses of
the Government was taken up and con
currence was asked in all of the Senate
amendments except the one providing
for the payment of the Minister to Por
tugal. A motion to reconsider the vote
by which this amendment was non
concurred in was laid on the table. The
House then went into Committee of
the Whole and took up the Tax bill.
A number of amendments were pro
posed and adopted. They consist chief
ly of additions to the free list. An a
mendment was adopted prohibiting any
tax being imposed on cotton grown in
the United States after September Ist,

per centum on amount of income over
81,000 and not exceeding $6,000 and ten

Union men or freedmen are implicated;
that justice is denied and offences go
unpunished; that the only power which
can accomplish any good is the military
power, ana that the best rneasuje to se
cure order is tiie bill just passed by
Congress. A minority report will be

see.
The House afterwards resumed • the
consideration of the Tax bill in Com
mittee ofthe Whole.

In place of a coarse, rustic, flushed face, she had
a soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth
ness. and instead of twenty three she really ap
peared bu t eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause
of so great a change, she plainly told them
that she used the CIRCASSIAN BALM, and con
sidered it an invaluable acquisition to any Lady's
toilet. By its use any Lady or Uentleman can im
prove their personal appearance an hundred fold.
It is simple in its combination, as Nature herself
is simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in draw
ing impurities from, also healing, cleansing and
beautifying the skin and complexion By its di
rect action on the cuticle it draws from it all its
impurities, kindly healing the same, and leaving
the surface as Nature intended it should be, clear,
soft, smooth and beautiful. Price sl, sent by Mail

the liver and billiary ducts, which are the cause
of billious affections in general.

skin, coated tongue, costiveness, drowsiness, and a
general feeling of weariness and lassitude, show
ing that the liver is in a torpid or obstructed con
dition. ,

tage in all cases when a purgative or alterative
medicine is required.
