II EX It Y W. WILLIAMS,
The Radical candidate for Supreme Judge, stands
upon a platform, in which occurs the following
language:
"Resolved , That warned by past misfortunes,
we ask that the Supreme Court of the State be
placed in harmony with the political opinions ot a
m-'jority of the people."
Thus, the Supreme Court, which is the final ar
biter between the weak and the strong, between
piinorities and majorities, is to be swayed by polit
ical bias agaiuat the rights ot that portion of the
peopl e who may happen to be in the minority.
Hare minorities no rights which majorities are
bound to respect? Nay, are not the fewest num
ber of people lawyers, or jurists, and is not often
the smallest minority right, on questions of law,
rather than the mass who have had no legal or ju
dicial education ? Who, therefore, could trust a
man as Supreme Judge, who will agree to substi
tute for his own deliberate judgment, the crude
opinions of the mob ?
Again,
HENRY W. WILLIAMS
is the candidate of a party which holds that a man
may repudiate his contract to pay a debt in gold
and silver, by paying the same in paper money,
thus actually making Government bnds worth
BO more than ordinary paper money. This is re
pudiation. Who, therefore, will vote for H. W.
Williams, and become a repndiatioiiist ?

THE REMOVAL OF SICKLES.
The* Radical newspapers have set up
a universal howl over the removal of
Gen. Sickles, the congressional satrap
commanding in the military district
composed of the late Statesof North and
South Carolina. From the opinion of
the Assistant Attorney General of the
United States, we present a brief sum
mary of the facts in the case, which
justify the removal not merely, but the
prompt punishment of the offender. It
will be remembered that a regular term
of the Circuit Court of the United States
was held at Raleigh, N. C., without the
military lines of Gen. Sickles, on the
first Monday in June last, Chief Jus
tice Chase presiding. At this term of
the Court, judgment was entered against
two parties, David and Daniel Kahn
weiler, defendants of record. Upon
these two judgments, writs of execution
were regularly issued and placed in the
hands of Daniel It. Goodloe, U. S. Mar
shal, who was forbidden to execute the
process by Capt. R. T. Frank, com
mandingat Wilmington. Capt. Frank '
justified his interference with the writ
of the Supreme Court, under order No.
10, issued by his superior officer, Daniel
E. Sickles; declaring that he would not
allow the judgment or decree of any
Court to be enforced in violation of ex
isting orders. Capt. Frank submitted
a report of his action to Gen. Sickles
who formally approved of it. For this
obstruction of the process of the highest
judicial tribunal in the land, and crim
inal contempt of its authority, Sickles
was promptly removed by the Presi
dent, and for this, he is now receiving
the plaudits of the radical destructives
throughout the country. *
We shall not insult the intelligence of
our readers by proving that it was the
duty of General Sickles to aid the
court, if its authority was interfered
with, instead of using the military
power in his hands to obstruct its pro
cess. lie pretends to derive his power
from the reconstruction laws of Con
gress, but arbitrary and tyrannical as
they are, they have not yet abolished
the constitution, nor destroyed the
courtsoflaw. Chief Justice Chase, who
should be good authority with radicals,
(if thecoustitution of our fathers is not,)
in solemnly ojening the court, de
clared that the recent military recon
struction acts did not and could not ex
tend, in any respect, to the courts of the
United States. Judge Chase rightfully
holds that the Supreme Court cannot
be interfered with by the President or
by Congre-s, or by any power on
earth. General Sickles holds a differ
ent opinion, and has employed the
military fo.ces of the country to defy
its authority. In the name of the in
sulted majesty of American law, in the
name of a trampled and dishonored
constitution, for the sake of what yet
remains of American liberty, we thank
President Johnson for removing Sick
les-
ANOTHER victory! The telegraph
announces an overwhelming Demo
cratic victory in Montana. Huzza!
SK'fiLHi OS |>xsi\ E.
The dethroned who lately
held despotic over that portion
of our country, once known
in thfc political geography as the
States of North and South Carolina,
Dan Sickles, publishes six mortal col
umns of defense, which will l>e accept
ed by thedeliriousfaction asa triumph
ant vindication, Chief Justice Chase to
the contrary notwithstanding. If his
arguments lack thesharpness of the bay
onets which he employed in Wilming
ton to resist the authority of the Su
preme Court, they will be good enough
for radicals generally. But candid
men will confess that Sickles, pen in
hand, smart as he is, cannot assail the
courts as effectually as when in the
plenitude of power, supported by the
muskets of United States soldiery, he
assaulted them in the Carolinas. He
wastes much time in describing the
condition of the District when he as
sumed command,and makes loud boasts
of the clemency, forbearance and mag
nanimity which marked his reign, re
minding us in his self-laudations of
some of those good kings of whom we
read no where but in the veritable his
tory of Peter Parley. He denies that
he intended any contempt ofthecourts
of the United States, he was only en
forcing the laws of Congress! In the
course of his defense he says: "I do not
"believe that the process of the courts
"of the United States should override
"and set aside the order Congress has
"empowered me to make for the exe
"eu'ion of its measures"! If Gen.
Sickles live long enough he will dis
cover that the people of this country
hold a widely different opinion. Rath
er than permit any interference with
the freedom of the judiciary, they will
sweep away all the rubbish of military
reconstruction laws, and all the agents
employed in their execution. With
patriotic fervor they will cling to the
courts ordained by the constitution for
the maintenance of their rights and
liberties, when the whole brood of re
construction acts and the minions who
enforce them in the tyrannical spirit
which actuated Sickles, shall be re
membered only to be execrated. In
offering armed resistance to the courts
Gen. Sickles was engaged in levying
war against the United States, and was
as guilty of treason as the rebels who
fired on fort Sumter. But as the
President is about to issue a general
amnesty proclamation, and as the rad
icals insist the war is not yet over, we
hope he will include Sickles, and give
him full pardon. It is enough for us
that Sickles, the King, is defunct, and
that Canby reigns in his stead. Le roi
est mort, vice le roi!
A (>REAI STATE.
Soon after the close of the war with
Mexico, the daring, intellectuai, ad
venturous, self-reliant men of the old
States, rushed to the new and rich field
of enterprise opened to them on the
Pacific. In an incredibly brief space
of time, as if by magic, splendid cities
arose on those western shores, and the
foundations of a mighty empireof free
men were deeply laid. Nature was on
a scale calculated to attune the souls,
and inspire to lofty deeds the noble
spirits, who had peopled the land.
There were sierras whose peaks piercing
the clouds, were crowned with ever
lasting snows; limitless valleys covered
with perennial verdure; forests of
mighty trees beneath the shade of one
of which a regiment might repose;
rivers fringed with the jessamine and
myrtle; countless herds roaming the
prairie; the vine shedding its blood for
the delight of man in richest profusion.
No wonder the proud Californians,
dwelling amid the magnificent scenes of
nature, should refuse to succumb to a
fierce fanaticism which threatened to
enguif our institutions. They had no
notion that the cultured and intelligent
freemen of America should be subjected
to the domination of the ignorant and
stupid negro and degraded Chinaman.
Following the example of Connecticut,
California, in many respects the great
est State in the Union, speaks with a
voice potential for truth and the right;
and in October next, the hills and val
leys of Pennsylvania will catch the
cry and send it back with thunderous
reverberation to the shores of the Pa
cific.
lIAKD I P.
The Radical State Committee is com
pelled to* go back to 1832, thirty five
years , to find an argument against
Judge Sharswood. Jordan don't need
to go back further than 1855, to prove
himself inconsistent and.unreliable, as
witness his public denunciation of Si
mon Cameron whose close adherent he
Is at present. lie must be '-hard up"
for arguments against Judge Shars
wood, since he is compelled to travel
backwards thirty-five years! Hadn't
he better tell us why some 40,000 Re
publicans of Philadelphia voted for
Judge Sharswood, whilst the late war
was at its height?
KIIOKM THE LEOISLATI'RE,
The extravagance and corruption of
the Pennsylvania Legislature have be
come a by-word among the people.—
Scarcely any public print of any party
dares to defend that. The Radical jour
nals themselves denounce it, and some
of them, in the profoundity of their dis
gust, have been led to exclaim, "An
other such legislature will sink us /" Just
look at some figures in this connection :
In 1847 the pay of members was three
dollars per day, and the pay of officers
two dollars per day; the number of offi
cers, pages and reporters in the Senate
did not exceed 12; officers, pages, repor
ters. <fcc. in the House, about 15. The
wholeexpensesforthesession $57,819.19.
In 1867 the pay of members was an aver
age of 810.00 per day; the number of offi
cers, pages and reporters was 40; in the
House the numberof officers, pagesand
reporters was 82. The amount of mon
ey drawn from the treasury by these at
taches of the two Houses for the ses
sion of 1867, was
$91,654.58,
being nearly twice the cost of the entire
session of the Legislature under Demo
cratic administration.
The entire cost of the Legislature of
1867, including pay and mileageof mem
bers, pay of officers, pages, clerks, and
hangers-on was
$265,061.10,
while that of 1847, under the adminis
tration of Gov. Shunk, was but 857,819.-
19, or only a little over one-fifth as
great!
We append some of the leading items
of expenditure, as they appear in the
Auditor-General's report:
Senators' pay, mileage and
stationery $.'15,477 00
Representatives' pay mil
eage and stationery, 81" 64
per day 107,508 45
Bailey and Kennedy, Preach
ers 000 00
33 Senators and 29 regular of
ficers 28,893 80
25 women 921 00
7 pages, 1,270 00
4 reporters, each 8200, 800 0q
Contingent clerks, 4,633 (Ml
1(K) members had 65 regular
officers drew, 57,5)10 78
13 pages, 2,359 50
women 1,240 00
postage 9,256 00
Members having been ap
pointed to different com
mittees during thesessions,
for which they charged, 15,170 59
Miscellaneous, 10,601 04
Total $265,961 16
Think of it! Formerly 27 officers,
pages, and reporters sufficed the Legis
lature ; now 122 are employed to do the
same work performed by the 27! Form
erly 857,819.19 paid the entire expenses
of that body ; now it takes $265,061.16,
to defray the same expenses! Yet,
there were in 1867, but 133 Senators and
Members, the same number as in 1817.
In view of these facts can any man who
desires retrenchment and reform in the
Legislature support Messrs. Wellerand
Richards, who were members of the
last Legislature and voted for, or ac
quiesced in, the enormous expenditures
above stated? Let the tax-payers an
swer.
We do not feel inclined to cover up
the sins of any one, even it he be our
friend, and we certainly shall not hesi
tate to say that the conduct of the Pa
cific Republicans has been such as to
richly merit defeat. With a reckless
ness opposed to common sense and
honesty, the party leaders have so ac
ted as to reduce the magnificent ma
jority of nineteen thousand to less than
nothing. They have allowed a "ring"
to be formed which bought and sold
the Legislature. They have nominated
bad men for high positions, and have
given the most responsible offices in the
State to men utterly unfitted to hold
even the meanest positions.
The Evening Telegraph , one of the
organs of the"unco godly" in Philadel
phia, wails thus over the defeat of its
friends in California. Before the elec
tion it had not a word to utter on the
subject, but now finds a poor consola
tion in abusing the discomfited. It is
safe, and has a look of honesty to de
nounce those at a distance, but some
how or other the Telegraph has nothing
but praise for the same sort of precious
scamps who rule its party in Pennsylva
nia. Its pictureof California radicalism
suits this latitude exactly, but it will
not print any portraits of the rascals
who control its party in this State.
After the election we expect to hear
the same sort of consolation over Radi
cal defeat, coiningfrom the press of that
party on the Pacific.
HE ASSESSED !
Democrats,attend to the assessments!
See to it that every Democratic voter is
duly assessed ten days before the elec
tion. The last day on which assess
ments can be made, is SATURDAY,
SEPT. 28.
A mass convention of black and
white negroes was held at Wilming
ton, Del., on the'third inst., at which
Congressmen Bill Kelley, of Philadel
phia, was the principal orator. Ivelley
said: "We have determined that the
bondman, his broken shackles yet clinging
to him shall vote, shall enter the jury box,
and shall have all the rights of a citizen."
Does the Bedford Inquirer endorse that
sentiment? If not, radical editors and
Radical Congressmen must differ.
As the Bedford Inquirer is too coward
ly to answer our question as to whet -
it and its party are in favor of establish
ing Negro Suffrage in Pennsylvania,
we will ask another not so difficult. —
Should Congress pass the Sumner bill to
force Negro Suffrage upon the People of
Pennsylvania without their consent,
will, or will not, Judge Williams, if elected,
decide that bill to be constitutional I

All hail, California! At last the in

from the breasts of the American peo

risen in her might and cast from her
the burden that weighed her down. —
The glad tidings from the Land of Gold,
will cheer the hearts of the friends of
Liberty, and Pennsylvania and the re
mainder of the Middle States and ma
ny of the Western States, will emulate
the example of their Pacificsister. The
last election carried by the Democrats
of California, was that of 18A0, eight
years ago. Since then the Republicans
have carried the State, year after
year, by from 18,000 to 20,000 majority.
Rut the brave and true men of Califor
nia, struggled on amid the gloom of de
feat, until at last their constancy was
crowned with victory. In 1803, the Re
publican majority for Governor was 19,-
723, and in 1804, Lincoln had 18,293 o
ver McClellan. In spite of these odds,
the State has been redeemed. Let this

''some things can be done as well as oth

SAN FRANCISCO, September 5. —The
Democracy of the Pacific greeting to
their brethren in the East.
Haight, our candidate for Governor,
and the entire Democratic State ticket,
has been triumphantly elected by at
least three thousand majority. We
have carried two Congressional districts
certain, and the remaining one isdoubt
fu I. The City of San Francisco gives o
ver three thousand majority for Ilaight
and the city ticket.
The revolution is complete, and a
Democratic Union Senator is secured in
place of Conness, the present Radical
incumbent.
Penusylvanians, as you love your
liberty, emulate your Democratic
brethren in California, and redeem
your -state from Radical misrule.
H. M. N.
SAX FRANCISCO, September 6.—The
Democrats have carried the State, Leg
islative, and m unci pal tickets in San
Francisco by overwhelming majorities.
The returns from the interior contin
ue to swell Haight's majority for Gov
ernor, which may reach 8,000. The en
tire Radical State ticket is defeated, and
it is doubtful if one Radical is elected.
The result is astounding to both par
ties. Nothing worse was expected than
the defeat of Gorham, the Radical can
didate for Governor, and two or three
others on the State ticket. The returns
are not nearly full. The Democrats
will have a majority in the assembly.
Mr. Haight addressed a meeting last
night, claiming the election as a protest
against the corruption, extravagance,
Chinese negro suffrage, reconstruction
policy of Congress.
* LAT SR.- Majorities reported from
twenty^even counties show Haight
(Democrat) to be 7,oooahead, and the
counties to come in generally give Dem
ocratic majorities.
Another private dispatch indicates
the election of the three democratic can
didates for Congress, together with a
majority of the State legislature, which
elects a United States Senator.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—At ten o'-
clock to-night the President received the
following dispatch dated San Francisco,
this day: "We have carried the State
by 10,000, electing our whole ticket, two
members of Congress and a majority of
the Legislature. This is purely a tri
umph of the policy of your administra
tion, condemning distinctly congress
ional reconstruction and negro suffrage,
North or South.

town are highly exultant over the
cheering newsfromCalifornia,andat the
present time they are firing a salute of
one hundred guns in honor of the great
victory. Thousands are congregated
at the scene of the firing, and all join
in the determination to exert them
selves at the coining election and re
deem the State of Pennsylvania from
Radical misrule. Great joy is manifes
ted by the Democracy, and the streets
here to-night are lined with citizens,
all participating in the celebration of
the victory achieved by the Golden
State. The Democrats are now in for
the campaign, heart and soul, and none
doubt but that the ticket will be elected
this fall by a handsome majority. The
example of California is to be followed.

XAisur
The Democrats have made a gallant
fight in the State of Maine. The elec
tion for Governor came off last Mon
day, and the result shows a Republican
loss since lad year of 14,000! Such is
the announcement by telegraph, and
we doubt not that further returns will
improve upon this. The Republicans
have lost at least one half of their ma
jority of last year, which was 27,255.
The Democrats make considerable gains
in the Legislature. Since writing the
notice of the Vermont election, in an
other column, we have learned that in
that State the Democrats have elected
a Senator, the first for many years.
Hurrah ! boys! Things are going with
a rush for the Democracy.
VERMONT.
Even in the Green Mountain State,
which never gave a Democratic major
ity since the adoption of the Constitu
tion, Radicalism is on the wane, the
majority for the Radical ticket being

The Copperheads are again full of
Negro Suffrage; they assert positively
that it is the intention of the "Radi

the Political Equality of Whites and
Blacks upon the people, without their
consent." This has been their constant
cry since the organization of the Re
publican Party. They are determin
ed to educate the public up to it.—ln

Observe! The Inquirer does not
deny that the "Copperheads" tell the
truth, when they make the charge
that it is the intention of the Radical
leaders to force Negro Suffrage and
the Political Equality of Whites and
Blacks, upon the people, without their
consent. It cannot and dares not deny
the truth of the charge. We can prove
to-day (and hold ourselves in readiness,
at any time to do so) by as respectable
and reliable a gentleman as lives in
Bedford, that JOHN CESSNA, the
leader and oracle of the Radicals in
this county, publicly boasted, a few
weeks since, that Congress would, next
winter, fix Negro Suffrage upon Penn
sylvania. Let the Inquirer deny this
if it 'are, and we will substantiate what
we say.
GEN EItAL CA R L SCH U RZ, Who St Um p
ed Pennsylvania for Lincoln in 1800,
and is now editor of the St. Louis
Westliche Post , advises his German
friends to vote for Democratic muni
cipal and State officers.
The editor of the Illinois Staats Zei
tung, in the course of a speech recently
delivered in Chicago, said, in reference
to the fanaticism of the Radical party,
"as he had advised his German friends
to leave the Democratic party in 18.34,
as eagerly would he now advise his
German fellow-Republicans of 1867 to
part company with a party that has
recklessly adulterated its national
programme by New England section
alism."
WAIT A LITTLE.— The celebrated
false prophet, Dr. Cumming, has sev
eral times predicted the end of the
world and fixed the day for it to come
off, but his predictions have always
been falsified—the world would in spite
of him, roll on in its accustomed cour e.
The doctor now, however, is determin
ed to attune for the past, and acknowl
edges that in his predictions he was
mistaken. He says that in revising the
calculations on which he based the an
nouncement of the world's ending in
18-37, he discovered that he overlooked
figures which add something like a
quintilion of years to the race which this
mun lane sphere has run. To seethe
real day of the end of the world, there
fore, we must wait a short time longer.
A MISTAKE.— The Boston i'ostsays.*
"A big cigar, a little cane, and immeas

These "elements, so mixed up," not
only make a man among men, but a

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 tnedieiDes
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 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 thete medicines ac
cording to directions, consumption vcrv frequently
in its last stage yields readily to their action. —
Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the flver 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

A GENERAL MASSACRE of the fibres
of the head, the whiskers, the mustaches, or the
beard, can be easily accomplished by the appli
cation of the scorching hair dyes, and when every
hair is KILLED DEAD, the parties deceived by
these nostrums will regret, too late, that they did
not use the wonderful and entirely peisonless prep
aration which, IN FIVE MINUTES, produces a
black or brown which is not surpassed by nature's
own hue. Be wise in time. The only safe and
