NEGRO 111'EE.
The first fruits of the Upas tree, Rad
icalism, ripened in Washington city on
Monday, third inst. On that day the
Negroes of that city, assisted by vaga
bond blacks from Virginia and Mary
land, wrested the government of the
capital of the Republic, from the con
trol of the white men. There were
just 8,500 negroes registered and this
vote was almost entirely polled. The
number of white voters registered, was
10,000. Of this vote but about 6,000
were polled. The whole Negro vote
was cast for the ticket nominated by
the Negro convention. But about 200
whites voted that ticket. Yet the ma
jority for the Negro ticket is about 2,000.
The few dirty whites who thought
themselves low and mean enough to
unite with the Negroes, assisted by the
non-resident hangers-on and Radical
clerks in the departments, managed to
prevent the polling of the full white
vote, and thus secured the defeat and
disgrace of their own race. The Ne
groes took possession of the approaches
to the polls at four o'clock in the morn
ing, and held possession of them all day.
They were marshalled by the blowing
of tin horns, and literally encamped at
the polling-places and upon the ap
proaches to the same. Great frauds
are said to have been committed, by the
Radical Negro managers, an investiga
tion of which, of course, will not be
permitted. Such is the state of affairs
produced by the course of the Radical
Congress. Eight thousand vagrant
Negroes, rule the white people of the
National Capital. And who are res
ponsible for this condition of affairs?
The Radical Congress, say you ? Aye,
verily, but not as responsible as the peo
ple who elected that Congress! You men
who vote the Radical ticket, you men
here in Pennsylvania, you people who
tell us that you are opposed to Negro
Suffrage, and at the same time give
yourselves the lie by voting the so-call
ed "Republican" ticket, you are pri
marily responsible. How long are you
willing to bear the responsibility?
WHITE SLAVERY.
There are twenty thousand white
men in Pennsylvania, some of them
scarred and maimed soldiers of the late
war, who have been reduced to politi
cal slavery by the tricks of the party in
power. These men have no voice in
the government of the State and are,
politically, just as much slaves as were
the negroes of the South five years ago.
There are about twenty-five thousand
of this class in the State of Ohio, and
the same proportion holds good in ev
ery Northern State. In the South, in
cluding Tennessee and Missouri, two
thirds of the white citizens are in the
same condition. It may, therefore, be
safely reckoned that obout 700,000 white
citizens of the United States, are at
present denied the rights of citizenship.
These figures can easily be substantia
ted. Is this freedom? Is this a Repub
lican government? Oh ! ye sticklers for
universal suffrage, yeshriekersfor freed
om, ye howlers for Negro enfranchise
ment, how this fact puts you to the
blush ! Oh! ye Radical hypocrites, ye
canting, whining, whimpering dema
gogues, how this burning shame brands
itself upon your foreheads! "Ye make
the outside of the platter clean," but
ye eat therefrom the filth of your own
foulness! Out upon you, knaves and
swindlers!
IMPEACHMENT PLAYKIJ OCT.
Some time in March last, we wrote a
letter from Washington city, which
was published In theGAZKTTE, in which
we assured our readers that the Im
peachment scheme would fail. Our
prediction has been fully verified. The
Judiciary Committee of the lower
house of Congress, which had the mat
ter in charge, has just made a report in
which it is set forth that there is no
cause for impeachment, but a majority
of the committee pass a vote of censure
upon the President. The mountain
has labored and brought forth a misera
ble, ridiculous little oiouse. Ohlin
somnious Ashley! Oh! bottled-up But
ler! Your occupation is gone!
EXIT "CSIOS PARTY."
Mr. J. B. Cessna, has
issued a call for the election of delegates
to a County Convention tonieet in Bed
ford, on the fourth day of July next,
"for the purpose of nominating a coun
ty ticket to be supported by the Repub
lican vot< rs of this county next fall."
The word "Union," or "Union Party,"
does not occur at all in this call. The
election of delegates is to be confined
solely to the " Republican voters ." The
reason for this change is easily account
ed for. Ten States and Ten Millions of
People are excluded from the Union , by
the course of the late Congress, and the
political supporters of that body dare
no longer call themselves the " Union Par
ty." During the war, many Demo
crats were induced to vote against their
party, because the opposition professed
to be the "Union Party." Of course
such Democrats will be consistent and
leave the opposition since that party
has dropped the name of "Union,"and
re-assumed that of "Republican" which
is now synonymous with Disunion.
Even thetwo Cessnas can hardly "stom
ach" the name and principles of the
party whose enemies they were for so
many years. We shall now see who
among the Democrats that voted the
so-called "Union Ticket," during the
war, did so from pure motives.and who
among them did so because they were
"turn-coats" and wanted to go over to
the enemy. For, the issue is now no
longer bet ween the Democrats and the
"Union Party," but betwjeen the Dem
ocrats and the Radical, Disunion "Re
publicans."
It is customary for this despotism to
select the merest block-heads that offer,
so that good men are seldom successful.
—lnquirer.
The above is said of Democratic
County Conventions. We presume the
writer of that paragraph must have had
Greely's denunciation of such fellows
as he, "narrow-minded block-heads,"
ringing in his ears, since he chose a
part of the Greely phraseology. But
isn't that a pretty compliment to some
people. For instance, in 1861 and 1862,
John Cessna was one of these same
"block-heads," aud in 1862, J. W. Ling
enfelter, Esq., was chairman of Coun
ty Committee, and under his manage
ment some of these block-heads were
elected. Among the Democratic Coun
ty Officers thus stigmatized, we notice
O. E. Shannon, John Aidstadt, John
J. Cessna, Robert Steckman, Andrew
Crisman, Michael Wertz, M. S. Ritch
ey, David Howsare, G. W. Gump, W.
G. Eicholtz, James Burns, Adolphus
Ake, Hiram Davis, Henry Moses, D.
R. Anderson, Samuel Beckley,&c., <fec.
These gentlemen, will please take no
tice of the compliment paid them by
the Inquirer.
Ax honest confession is said to be good
for the soul. If this be true, the souls
(such as they are) of the editors of the
Inquirer , must have been greatly ben
efited by the following confession print
ed in their last week's issue, in regard
to their candidates:
"Half of the opposition voters in Bed
ford Borough are candidates for County
Treasurer, while the other half would
be if they thought there was any chance.
A wag was overheard to say the other
evening, within the hearing of half a
score of the rivals, that he was deter
mined to support the man who would
give him the use of the greatest amount
of the public funds, in case of election.
He was button-holed, it is said, by hall
the number present, assoon asthecoasi
was clear, and told they would "make
it all right." It is apparent some body
wants the use of the public funds."
That " somebody wants the use of
the public funds," has been apparent
to us for sometime. The Inquirer''s
party has made strenuous efforts, for
the past ten years, to elect a County
Treasurer, and it appears that the ob
ject was to obtain "the use of the public
funds." Well! well!
•-WILL THEY ANSWER?"
Some weeks ago we asked the editors
of the Bedford Inquirer , whether they
and their party are in favor of the es
tablishment of Negro Suffrage in Penn
sylvania. Our question remains unan
swered. Since the Radical party have
made the Negroes voters in the ten ex
cluded States and in the District of Col
umbia, the question arises whether
that party has one set of principles for
the South and another for the North.
We, therefore, repeat our question.
Some of the Inquirer party in this
neighborhood, are anxious to hear from
it on this subject.

The Negro Triumph In Washington.
The scenes and incidents connected
with the triumph of the negroes over
the white population of Washington
City furnishes food for serious reflec
tion. We give a few. The New York
Herald correspondent says:
The ceremonies of the day appear to
have been commenced by the colored
freemen as early as two o'clock this
morning, when delegations of them
sallied forth with tin horns and other
barbarous instruments to arouse the
more slothful to the important work of
the day. Long before the polls were o
pened a long line of sable voters, three
and four deep, were in waiting at most
of the precincts. As a large proportion
of the negroes were too ignorant to an
swer the questions propounded in such
away as to coincide with their record
on the registration lists, much valua
ble time was consumed in taking their
votes, and the consequence was that
large numbers of the whites who were
not in the habit of voting "early and of
ten" were prevented from casting their
votes. As a case in point, at ten o'-
clock this morning, at the First pre
cinct, First ward, the list stood two
hundred and twenty-five colored and
one white, and Second precinct two
hundred and twenty-seven colored and
one white. From all accounts the col
ored vote was almost entirely polled,
while a large portion of the white vote
failed to get in.
The National Intelligencer , the old
Whig organ, has a column full of inci
dents. We select the following items:
Throughout the entire day the ne
groes monopolized the polls, and ex
cluded white men from the approaches.
This excited a good deal of feeling;
but the excitement was most intense a
bout the First Precinct of the Seventh
ward. There was a long line of color
ed men there, extending along F street,
and around the corner down Four-and
a-half street to F. In all this dusky
crowd our oldest inhabitants could
scarcely recognize a familiar face. In
deed, this was the case at all the pre
cincts. It was manifest that the whole
contest was one between pauper ne
groes, dependent for subsistance upon
the bones thrown them from the Freed
inen's Bureau, and the old citizens and
property-holders of Washington. In
the Seventh Ward during the day a
double line of white voters, corres
ponding to the line of colored voters on
Four-and-a-half street, was formed on
F street, meeting the other line at the
window, with the idea of voting the
whites and colored alternately, anil
quiet a number of whites were voted
in this way; but complaint having been
made to Major Richards, Superinten
dent of Police, he decided that the sep
arate white line could not be permit
ted to vote in this way, as being unfair
to the voters in the original line, who
had stood waiting all day. This deci
sion created considerable feeling a
mongst the whites, anil it was pro
posed to open polls at five P. M., to
take in a separate white vote.
Considerable additional excitement
was created by a controversy between
Major Richards and Mr. Thomas E.
Loyd in relation to the above decision.
Mr. Loyd stated that the double line
had been formed with the consent of
the recievers of votes, and he denied
Mr. Richards' right to thus break up a
line of voters, especially as it was com
pos ni of some of the oldest citizens of
the ward. By this decision the whites
were excluded from voting; and men
who for ten, twenty, thirty, and forty
years have exercised the elective fran
chise here—men who have property
interests at stake—were virtually exclu
ded from a voice in m unci pal affairs
by a horde of strange negroes who have
no more interest in Washington affairs
than the King of Dahomey, and know
as little as that monarch of its true
I wants.
In all the precincts of the Fourth Ward
the colored people opened the ball with
a good showing, but they polled most
of their strength in the morning. This
was the strong Conservative ward of
the city. The number of colored men
that appeared to vote at an early hour
was surprising. The receivers at some
of the precincts were very slow. Es
pecially was this the ease at the Fourth
Precinct. Here four of our oldest citi
zens were turned away and told that
they were not registered. Mr. Asbury
Lloyd subsequently appeared and ott
ered to vote, and was told he was not
registered. He demanded to see tin
books, and found his own name and
that of the three others who had been
rejected duly recorded. At the Third
Precinct double lines of white and col
ored voters were formed and the ballots
were received alternately.
In the Seventh ward the colored peo
ple were out early. This was the great
negro stronghold, and it seemed to be
a preconcerted movement that the polls
should be taken possession of by them
and held during the day. They therefore
paraded the streets at 2 o'clock in the
morning, and waked sleepers and made
the air resound with notes from tin
horns, calling out the faithful. At 4
o'clock some seven or eight hundred
colored voters were in line at the First
Precinct, and up to half past 10 A. M.
the number had increased to about one
thousand. At that time not one white
man was in line at that precinct, and
only about twenty-five white votes had
been received. By an arrangement en
tered into early in the morning the
committee of ten, vote distributers, &c.,
of each party were permitted to vote
without waiting to fall into line. The
polling proceeded very slowly at this
precinct f.-om various causes, not aver
aging more than one to every five min
utes.
One of the receivers, J. B. Pierce,
insisted upon examining the books for
the names, and it took him just five
minutes to spell out the name after he
had found it. Although there were so
many persons in line, not more than
100 votes were polled at 12 o'clock.
It was observed that but few colored
men were at work yesteruay. All
were in attendance upon the polls.
In some of the wards the colored peo
ple strained every nerve to prevent the
white people voting. One of their
schemes was to swell the line with
men who had already voted, in order
to keep out the whites. Thus, a negro
would vote, and would then pass around
to the rear of the line. He would re
main there until some one came along
who had not voted, when he would
drop out of line and give the newcomer
his place. This was practised to such
an extent in one of the First Ward
precincts that direct appeals to prevent
it had to be made to the police officers.
The judges of election were in session
in the Post Office building yesterday,
for the purpose, as was stated, of cor
recting errors in the registration.—
They gave certificates stating that cer
tain individuals had been registered,
and a large number of persons voted
upon those certificates.
During last evening squads of colored
men paraded the streets, shouting and
hurrahing on occount of their success.
Bonfires were lighted in various sec
tions of the city, and it was a night of
general jubilation for the negro party.

THE COMING TIDE.
While in the South, before the spring
elections, publicly and privately we
told the people that there was a great
change going on in the North, and that
Democracy was gaining strength as
never before. At times we would be
doubted—at times contradicted—at
times met by Radicals whoalmostgave
us the lie, and who sneered at our asser
tion, made before election. We made
wagers on Connecticut and won them.
We advised, earnestly advised people
there not to embrace Radicalism, for to
embrace the monster is to hug the saw
which tears the flesh to the bone, and
in many localities we believe our word
gave hope, and roused the drooping
spirits of the people.
We based our prophecy on, to us, cer
tain indications—letters from the peo
ple. Since the last fall elections thous
ands and thousands of letters from the
people have come to us in our sanctum,
from every State and every congres
sional district in the North.—These let
ters ean be seen in our office by the
piles. They are earnest letters, telling
us in unmistakable words that the peo
ple are waking from their slumber,
and they have decided to be free.
The Grandßevolutionisgoing on hour-
l V !
Taxation and intolerance are doing
their work. With encouragement to
lead and bigotry and aristocracy to
drive, the American people are becom
ing restless under their chains, and the
tide of reason is coming in.
We told the people of the South that
the Democracy was not dead in the
North. We now point with honest
pride to the most wonderful increase
of Democratic votes in proof that we
were in earnest and had someidea of
the&entiment of the people. We knew
all the thousands of earnest letters
which came to us meant something,
and that the renewal of pluck would
bring Democratic majorities.
The Radicals swore they could and
would carry Connecticut, as they have
for thirteen years. They failed, al
though over $200,000 in cash was used
by them there.
'Then they laughed a sickly laugh
and said they could afford to lose that
little State.
But the returns keep coming in, and
all over the North the new spring styles
are " Democratic gains." New Hamp
shire will go Democratic next. Maine
will follow suit. New York, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, New
Jersey and Minnesota will go Demo
cratic at their next election if we have
any decent organization and effort,
and we will have. Then Illinios and
lowa will follow suit, and the grand
tide will come rushing, and the peo
ple will rejoice as never before.
The gains are not confined to Connec
ticut. The city of Albany, New York,
last fall, gave over one hundred Radic
al majority. This spring it went sev
enteen hundred Democratic
Here is a gain equal to that of Con
necticut. We have letter after letter
from city and town in the Northern
States, telling us of new styles -viz.
Democratic victories and the glorious
work is but commencing.
The Radicals here do not talk so loud
or so fast as they did. The working
men are talking hard of them. The
bond holders are not popular as once.
The clank of chains and the glimmer
of bayonets have no terrors for the peo
ple now, and the tide is coming in.
Press on the column! Organize for ac
tion! Stand in the line—advance the
column and all will soon be well.— La
Crosse Democrat.
RKATII OF REV. DR. KRAUTH. —We
perform a melancholy duty in record
ing the death of our venerable and es
teemed fellow citizen, Rev. Dr. Chas.
P. Krauth, Sr., which occurred at his
residence, on Baltimore street, at 6 o'-
clock on Thursday evening last.
Though bodily feeble for several years,
his mental vigor ceased only with a
calm and peaceful termination of life.
His remains were interred in Ever
Green Cemetery, on Saturday after
noon, after appropriate and impressive
services in Christ Church, including
addresses by Rev. Dr. Morris, of Balti
more, and Rev. Drs. Hay and Baugher,
of this place. The funeral was attend
ed, in addition to the relatives and a
large concourse of citizens, by the Fac
ulties and Students of the College and
Seminary.—The stores and other places
of business were closed during the mov
ing of the funeral cortege.
Dr. Krauth was born in Montgomery
county, Pa., and commenced his minis
try in Virginia, after which he was
transferred to Philadelphia, as Pastor
of St. Matthew's Church; in 1833 he
was elected Professor in the College
and Seminary here, and soon after be
came President of the former, which
post he occupied seventeen years; re
signing the Presidency a few years ago,
he gave his whole time to his duties in
the Seminary, continuing up to his
death. In addition to his professorial
engagements, he was Pastor of the Col
lege Church five years. His age was a
little upwards of 70 years.
Thus has passed away one who long
held a prominent place in the church
and the community. Highly cultiva
ted, with great purity of character and
goodness of heart, Dr. Krauth was es
teemed by all, and sinks into the grave
regretted by all. Peace to his ashes.—
Gettysburg Compiler.
DEADLY AFFRAY.— On Saturday
night last about 10 o'clock, a deadly af
fray occurred in Wolfstown, between
two colored men named David Mont
gomery and Wm. Stoner. It appears
that the parties had a fight during the
day, in which the latter named darkey
came off second best, where upon he
swore vengeance. About 10 o'clock
P. M. he proceeded to Wolfstown, and,
finding Montgomery in a shop kept
by a colored man named Jones, drew a
revolver and fired several shots at him,
both of which took effect and are like
ly to prove fatal. Stoner was accom
panied by several friends, at the time
of the shooting, one of whom, named
George Blue, has been arrested and is
now in jail. Stoner is still at large.—

—A Wilmington, N. C., paper learns
that Mr. Bankhead has been brought to
that city in irons, from South Carolina,
having been tried by a military com
mission in that State for participation
in some disturbance. His sentence was
not read to him until his arrival there,
when it was divulged that he was to be
confined in Fort Macon at hard labor
for seven years.

A YOUNG LADY returning to her
country home, after a sojourn of a few months in
the city, was hardly recognized by her friends.
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". 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 Gentleman 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

the surface as Nature intended it should be, clear,

COKRUMPTIO"JT CURABLE By BR
SCHENCK'S MEDICINES —TO cure consumption, the
system must be prepared so thkt the lungs will
heal. To accomplish this, the liver and stomach
must first be cleansed and an appetite creatod for
good wholesome food, which, by these medieines
will be digested properly, and good healthy blood
made; thus building up the constitution. Schenck's
Mandrake Pills cleanse the stomach of all bilious
or mucous accumulations; and, by using the Sea
Weed Tonic in conn< ction, 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 theie medicines ac
cording to directions, consumption very frequently
in its last stage yields readily to their action.—
Take the pills frequently, 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 all the richest
food—fat meat, game, and, in fact, anything the
appetite craves; but be particular and masticate
well. 2d w
