THE GREAT RADICAL PRINCIPLE.
It appears that Negro Suffrage is be- j
yond doubt, a plank in the Radical |
platform. It is the "great principle"
(to quote Greeley et at.) "which alone
can lead the Republicans to victory." ,
To be sure, there is another principle,
that of retaining the spoils, which ani
mates the minds of many of the Radi
cal persuasion, but even some of these
begin to think that the easiest way to
continue their party in office, is to give
the Negro the balance of power. Upon
this point we quote the Philadelphia
Morning Post, a Republican journal of
the first water:
But the gentlemen who propose to
take negro suffrage out of our platform,
would leavethe party without a mission.
They would vainly seek to rally the
people by loud denunciations of treason,
and boasts of Republican services to the
Union. No thinking man now troubles
himself about the crimes of Jeff. Davis,
and the victories of the war, except so
far as they are matters of history. We
cannot carry them into a political cam
paign. The issue before the country is
negro suffrage, and the party cannot
evade it, without ceasing to be a par
ty.
This is, tosay the least of it, straight
forward and ingenuous. Here we have
a leading "Republican" journal con
fessing, in so many words, that "the
issue before the country is negro suff
rage," and that "the party cannot
evade it, without ceasing to be a party."
Let, then, this issue bo as squarely met
as it is boldly made. Let the line be
drawn between those who would pros
titute the ballot-box to the base uses of
ignorance and degradation, and those
who would keep it pure and undefiledin
the hands of the whi e man. Neighbors!
Friends! You must be on one side of
this line or the other. Will you, rather
than give up your adherence to your
party, see the fateof your country placed
iu the hands of an ignorant, debased and
semi-barbarous race, or will you say,
with us, in answer to the Philadelphia
Post, If the Republican part)/ cannot ex
ist without Negro Suffrage, in God's
name, let it "cease lo be a /tart p."
I'ALFIHT IX THEIR OWX TRAP.
Last summer, when the Kentucky
delegation to Congress, presented their
credentials to that body, the Radicals
excluded them and referred their case
to a special committee. On Thursday
last, the Tennessee Brownlow delega
tion presented themselves for admis
sion, and the Democrats asked that the
same test be applied to them as was
applied to the Kentucky members.
Now, nearly all of the Brownlow Con
gressmen are ex-rebels, some of them
havingserved in the Confederate army,
but as they now belong to the Radical
church and were elected by negroes,
the Republican leaders in Congress
squirmed "muchly" when they were
asked to examine into these white
washed "Johnnies'" antecedents. The
object of the Democrats was to try the
consistency of the Radicals, and hav
ing brought the matter before the
House, they permitted the latter to
settle the question among themselves,
they, (the Democrats! standing by
their record in the Kentucky case. It
was shown that Stokes, Arnell, Mul
lins and Butler, of the Brownlow del
egation, were active participants in
the rebellion, but the House voted to
admit all of them, except Butler,
whose record was so outrageously bad,
that even Radical stomachs were nau
seated by it, and his case was rt ferred
to a committee. But, doubtless, this
Butler will be also admitted in due
time. Nevertheless, the Rads. have
been taught that "what's sauce for the
goose, is sauce lor the gander."
DEATH OF HAI.LECK. THE I'OF.T.
FITZ GRF.ENE HA LLECK is dead.—
This venerable man, who "came down
to us from a former generation," died
at his residence in Guilford, Conn., on
Wednesday, Nov. 20th, aged 72 years.
There is something in the name of
Halleck which is dear to the heart.
As a poet Americans are justly proud
of him ; as a man we love, as well as
honor him. Endowed with noble
gifts of mind, he shunned notoriety
and cared nothing for fa ne. He quiet
ly pursued his business, scorning alike
the honor and the gain which a life de
voted to letters would have brought
him. He wrote only for his own pleas
ure, or that of a few select friends. Hut
he became famous in spite of himself.
"Marco Bozzaris" introduced him to
thousands of delighted readers, and
when he wrote of his dear dead friend,
Joseph Rodman Drake,
"Green b8 the turf above thee,
Friend of my better days,
None know thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but to praise,"'
his name was made immortal in the pa
ges of American literature. But he is
dead. May his rest he as peacelui as his
life was noble,
CONGRESS.
This restless body of uneasy politi
cians assembled at Washington, on
Thursday last. The first thing done in
the Senate, was the presentation of the
following bill by Senator Sumner of
Massachusetts:
Be it enacted , &c ., That the word
"white" wherever it occurs in the laws
relating to the District of Columbia,
or in the charter or ordinances of the ci
ty of Washington or Georgetown, and
operates as a limitation on the right
of any elector of said district or ot eith
er of said cities to hold any office or to
be selected and to serve as a juror be
and the same is hereby repealed; and
it shall be unlawful for any person
or officer to enforce or attempt to en
force said limitation after the passage
of this act.
Thus, the leader of the Republican
party, steps forward to re-open the Ne
gro question, and to make further pro
gress in the Africanizing of our civiliz
ation. His aim and that of bis coadju
tors now is, to place the negro in the
jury-box and upon the judge's bench.
Let them go on. "Whom the gods
wish to destroy they first make mad,"
andSumnerand his confreres are as mad
as March hares.—ln the House the white
washed "disloyalty" of the Brownlow
rebel Congressmen from Tennessee,
was fully exposed by the Democrats.
Nothing else of importance was trans
acted. impeachment seems to hang
fire. Tliad. Stevens was in his place
in the House. Judge Woodward and
the California members were sworn
in. It is not thought that there w ill
be any legislation until the Constitu
tional session in December, it looks
as though the Radicals forced this short
and useless session only to show that
they can and will violate the Constitu
tion at their pleasure.
TKOIRI.C.
There appears to be some trouble a
mong the Radical leaders, as to what
should be the course of Congress in re
gard to "Reconstruction," as well as to
what ought to be the character of their
Presidential platform. The recent elec
tions have evidently knocked the
breath out of some of them. The fol
lowing from a double-leaded editorial
which appeared in the Philadelphia
P>s( of Thursday last, will give the
reader some insight into the tribula
tions of the Radical managers:
"As it is, the party is drifting away
with the tides. The Conservatives
are misleading the weak and timorous.
Some of our leaders say that emancipa
tion is enough for thecolored man, as if
citizenship without the ballot were not
the veriest farce tiiat could be enacted.
Others declare that the Republican par
ty must haul down its flag, and that
Congress must modify the plan of recon
struction. Unless there is a speedy end
put to this cowardice, Republicanism is
doomed."

A RADICAL VIEW OK A POLITICAL
PREACHER.— We are glad to see that
the 1 louse of Representat i ves is sti 11 to
enjoy the invaluable services of Rev.
Mr. Boynton as chaplain. It is that
gentleman's habitual practice to thank
the Almighty pretty regularly for
whatever may have been done in Con
gress which accords with iiis own views
of political and party propriety, and in
this way the members are properly pos
ted as to his opinion of their acts. As
the chaplain lias no other mode of
making political speeches in tiie House,
not being a member thereof, it is ex
ceedingly clever in him to have discov
ered so excellent a dodge. We obser
ved that in Thursday's opening prayer
he offered a resolution of thanks for
the establishment of universal negro
suffrage.—A. Y. Times, radical.
—lt is said that seventy families of
Johnstown, Pa., intend to emigrate in

NEWS AND OTHER ITEMS.
—P. T. Barnum is not contesting the
election of his Democratic namesake in
Connecticut, hut the Rumpers, always
alive to the importance of increasing
their power and defeating the action of
the people at the ballot-box, intend to
declare the seat vacant, anyhow. From
this it is evident that the great humbug
showman has more honor, honesty and
respect for the popular will than the
pr ofessional plunderers who rule the
Radical party.
—Helper, the author of the "Impend
ing Crisis," —a book which before the
war added fuel to the flames of Aboli
tionism—has written a long letter to
the National Intelligencer, in which he
recants from his former opinions and
strongly opposes the Radical plan of
placing the foot of the negro upon the
neck of the white man. He declares
that he never d~eamt that Abolitionism
would extend so far or produce the
evils that it has.
—A respectable widow lady, by the
name of Hester Albertson, aged seventy
years, was found lying dead in the
doorway of her house in Morrisville,
Penn., on last Tuesday morning, with
her throat cut. She had arisen during
the night, and committed the fearful
deed with a bucher knife, completely
sevi ring the jugular vein. She had for
a number of years been very infirm,
so as to be able to repose only by sit
ting upright in her chair, and the sup
position is that, tired of the painful
life of constant affliction she was doom
ed to lead, she in desperation termina
ted her existence in the bloody manner
stated.
—Kerosene still explodes when care
lessly handled. The family of Adam
Christman, of Franklin, Wis., recently
met with a serious accident from the
explosion of a kerosene lamp, by which
four of the members of the family,
the mother and three children, were
injured, from the effects of whiuh one
of the children, a little girl, died the
next morning, and another little girl
was so severely injured that little hope
was entertained of her recovery.
—From Mexico we learn that the
Juarez Government has tendered to Ad
miral Tegethoff a detachment of Mex
ican troops to act as an escort to the
body of Maximilian as far as Vera
Cruz, but all public demonstrations
on the line of route are strictly forbid
den. There are indications of another
struggle for supremacy among the mil
itary chieftains, and it is thought by
some that a new revolutionary move
ment will occur before long
—The hurricane which swept over
the West Indies on the 29th ult., was
the most distructive in the memory of
man. On the Island of Tortola not a
house is left standing. The plantations
were swept bare, and hundreds of lives
were lost. On St. Thomas and other
islands the destruction of property and
life was very great—too great to form
any estimate at present.
—Assassinations in Utah have been
suddenly arrested by a telegram from
General Sherman to Brigham Young,
announcing to that potentate that he
will be held personally responsible for
any other murder similar to that of
I)r. Robertson's. There seems to be no
doubt of the existence in Utah of a
sworn band to a-sassinate any one who
maybe indicated by the head of the
Mormon Church.
—The price of wheat in England has
doubled since 1861 and is now higher
than it has been since theclose of the Cr
imean war. In the first fortnight of Octo
ber it rose on the average fifteen per
cent. The crop is said to turn out, on
threshing, a far lighter yield than was
anticipated, and French buyers are still
active in their operations in the Eng
lish wheat market.
The announcement that yellow fe
ver is no longer epidemic in New Or
leans has sent thousands of people and
hundreds of families hack to their
homes from the North. The New Or
leans papers contain encouraging l ac
counts of the winter business prospect.
Places of amusement are well patroni
zed; the hotels are tilling up, and,
as the fever has now disappeared,
the health of the city is unusually
good.
—The amount demanded of the U
nited States for the cession of the Dan
ish West India Islands is stated in the
treaty to be $7,500,000 in gold. Official
statistics show that one or another of
the Island- suffer every year from a
hurricane, and it is highly probable
that thfc hurricanes, having been in
arrears for sometime, are now paying
up.
—All that a Richmond negro has to
do to secure a good berth at loafing,
with plenty to eat, drink and wear, and
pocket-money to spend, is swear that
he was discharged from work for vo
ting the Radical ticket. Sco.es of lazy,
thieving darkies have been detected
plying that vocation with success
—The New York Independent (Radi
cal) says "Congress will not pass a uni
versal suffrage bill until after the Presi
dential election." Then it won't pass
such a bill at all, because the next Con
gress will be a white man's Congress.
—The white people of South Carolina
almost unanimously refused to vote at
the satrap's election. In North Caro
lina there was almost the same unani
mity in stayingaway from the "polls."
—ln South Carolina the election
returns from eight courthouses show
only eleven white votes cast to three
thousand seven hundred and forty five
negro votes. So far as heard from, not
a single vote has been east against a
Convention.
—The Newark, New Jersey, Adver
tiser (Radical) says that the complete
returns of the State show the following
result: Democratic vote 07,408 ; Radi
cal vote 51,114; Democratic majority
10,354 —a gain of 18,000 on 1800. The
Radical loss has been 14.302 and the
Democratic gain 3,407.
Wore Xeg-ro Outrages—The Soil of Ponn
routing in for nsliare.
The brutal outrages committed by
Southern Negroes upon white women
from time to time, seems to he spread
ing Northward. The Lancaster Tnfel
lir/mcer of Monday, has the following :
On last Monday morniing a brutal
outrage upon a young whitegir! was at
tempted by a negro near Pennington
ville, Chester county. The particulars
are about as follows:—A Miss McDon
ald, a young lady of the highest respec
tability, belonging to a good family,
was engaged in teaching school at the
village of Limeville. Owing to the
sickness ofa sister she had been in the
habit of returning to her father's house
at Penningtonville each evening, and
going hack' to school in the morning.
On Thursday morning, at a compara
tively unfrequented part of the road, a
negro sprang from behind a tree with a
pistol in his hand. He seized her and
threw her down, indulging in brutal
threats as she struggled with him.—
When she was almost exhausted, some
noise start led the negro and hesprang 10
his feet. Miss McDonald immediate
ly started towards home, hut the negro
met her with his pistol in I and, and
swore he would blow her brains out if
she ever mentioned the matter, even
though it might he twenty years after.
In her fright she turned towards Lime
ville, and proceeded to that place. On
making known to some of her friends
what had occurred, they at once sent
her in a carriage to Penningtonville.
The father and brothers of the young
lady, with some others, started out in
search of the negro, and arrested him
at the house ot a Miss Fulton, with
whom he lived. On being brought
before the young lady, she at once rec
ognized him as the brute who had as
saulted her. Her relatives would have
taken summary vengeance upon him
but lor theinterference of other parties.
The negro was committed to jail to
await his trial by justice ltamb >. IT is
to be hoped his sentence may he made
sufficiently severe to deter others of his
class from acts which have come to be
very common of late.
THE FORT DELAWARE FRAUDS.—
The .dye of the 13th publishes all the
certificates, affidavits, company rolls,
and other documents relative to the
gross election frauds perpetrated by one
"Henry Mitchell, Esquire," at Fort
Delaware, under commission from
Gov. Geary. From these documents
it appears that 63 votes were returned
from Company K by the commissioner.
Of this number Maj. C. 11. Morgan,
commanding at the Fort, certifies 54
are fictitious. From Company L 60
votes were returned, and Major Mor
gan certifies that 56 out of t hat number
are fictitious. Cap. Hasbrouck, and
Sergeant Fitzgerald, of Co. K, certify
that 28 men voted in that company,
only 6 of whom enlisted in Pennsylva
nia. The rest were enlisted
14 from New York, 3 from New Eng
land, 4 from Delaware, and 1 from the
District of Columbia. Of the four who
voted in Co. L, three are minors, and
none enlisted from Pennsylvania.—
One is a Virginian, another a New
Yorker, and the other two enlisted in
Ilarrishurg and Lancaster. Out of the
whole number returned (123) only 8
are Pennsvlvanians —two of them
minors—and none belong to Philadel
phia. The soldiers whose names are
attached to the return papers as officers
testify that they did not put their sig
notures to any returns, and that no
oaths or affirmations were administer
ed to those whom the "commissioner"
designated as judges and clerks. A
more glaring fraud than this was prob
ably never successfully carried out at
any election in this State. Yet there
has been no disposition manifested by
the District Attorney of Philadelphia
to bring the guilty party or parties to
punishment, although, as the Age ob
serves, he was quick to prosecute "a
miserable, half-witted creature, whose
sudden offence, under intemperate in
fluence, was one illegal vote." — Pal. <(•

THE MET EG its. —T he astronomers of
the United States and Europe, itseems,
were well prepared for a series of ob
servations of the expected meteors on
I the morning of the 11th. Those in the
! United States were not disappointed.
There were scientific watchers at Phil
adelphia; Naval Observatory, Wash
ington; Vassar College, Poughkeepsie.
N. V.; Dudley Observatory, New York;
Yale College, New Haven, Conn.; Uni
versity of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and
perhaps at other places. The annexed
i statement is interesting:
The prevailing belief now is that
these meteoric showers are caused by
the passage of the earth and its atmos
phere through a stream of nebulous or
cloudy matter, loosely aggregated,
which stream has an orbit reaching in
a long ellipse from a perihelion point
near the orbit of the planet I ran us.
From the length of time —say an hour
i and a half—taken up by the earth in
! passing through the denser part of the
shower, the thick nets of the streams is
believed to be about three times the
diameter of the earth, or about 30,000
miles. The length of the stream of
meteoric matter must be many mil
lions of miles, as it consumes some
eight or nine years in passing that part
i of theearth's'orbit which our planet
reaches about the 12i.1i to the loth of
November each year. This is held to
account for the great difference in the
display, in different years, as the earth
sometimes passes through the very
center of the stream, as in 1832 and in
18J3, and at others through the thinner
sides of it, as in IS(G and I*o7. With
respect to the distance >.f the meteors
from the surface of the earth at tiie
time of their appearance there is at least
one satisfactory observation on record.
This one was "timed" and its path
noted, during the shower of 1800, at
Sunderland, England and Aberdeen,
Edinburgh, and Glasgow, Scotland.
Its altitude was ascertained to have
been from 51 to 57 miles, over a spot
near Dundee, in Scotland.
It was partly with reference to this
interesting point that professors at
Philadelphia, in concert with others at
Washington and New Haven, were
timing and marking the paths of the
meteors of Thursday morning. At
Philadelphia, according to the Ledger,
the observations were quite successful,
and the exact time and paths of a large
number of the meteors were mapped.
These all show the point of radiation
to be in the centre of the space enclosed
by the group of stars popularly known
as the "Sickle," in the constellation
Leo. Astronomically stated, it is near
the star x, centre of Leo's Sickle, or in
right ascension 1-1* degrees, and north
declination about 24 degrees. This
coincides with the radiation point of
the showers as indicated by Professor
Twining after the great shower of 1833, j
and it is vertically over the precise j
point in space towards which the earth ■
is moving in its orbit at the lime.—

Davis is in excellent health, and is
quite cheerful. Many sympathizing
friends are calling upon him to-night.
J'palri<> Ftros i:i tlic West.
Sr. Lot' IS, November 22.—Prairie
fires still continue to rage in nearly all
sections of the West. They have been
particularly severe in Western and
Northean Missouri and Kansas, in
many instances actually devastating
whoie farms. Immense amounts of
property have been destroyed. The
swamps in Southern Missouri are said
to he a mass of tire, and along the Illi
nois Central Railroad for a distance of
one hundred miles, the prairies are
burning, and in Union county, Illinois,
the flames extended into the woods,
which are now burning. No relief is
looked for until a heavy general rain
falls, of which there is no immediate
prospect.
THE POOR OF PARIS.—It appears
f om official statistics that the number
of indigent families in Paris, inscribeu
in the books of the establishment-, was
in 1866, 40,644, comprising 10"), 119 in
dividuals. Compared with 1863, this
shows an increase of 588 households
and 8,549 persons. In 1853 there was
one indigent individual in every 16
inhabitants, while in 1865 the propor
tion was only, one in 17. Sick persons
to the number of 57,452 were attended
at their own houses, of whom 27,000
were inscribed, 9,244 women were de
livered; and the total number relieved
by the bureaux de bienfaisance was 153,-
000. In the various hospitals and asy
lums 18,329 beds are provided for 1868
and bread to the value of 2,515,000
francs will be furnished; in addition to
1,326 francs'worth of wine, and 2,089-
535 francs of butcher's meat.
GOLD IN* MEIICER COUNTY.—The
discovery of a rich vein of gold quartz
is reported to have been made on the
grounds of Col. James Hemphill, at
West Middlesex, Mercer county, by
some workmen engaged in sinking a
shaft for ore or coal. The workmen
had bored down about one hundred
feet below the coal level in that basin,
when they struck a vein of rock,
strongly intermixed with a substance
at tirst supposed to be sulphur. Upon
examination of the rock by Colonel
Hemphill and his superintendent, and
after several tests, they pronounced it
to be gold of superior quality, and cap
able of yielding five thousand dollars
to the ton. The rock is about the same
as that in which the Greene county gold
was found.

ADVERTISING SALES OF PROP. RTY.
—The Lancaster Intelligencer , in speak
ing of the importance and great advan
tage of advertising sales of property in
the newspapers, in addition to having
hand bills printed, very truthfully says:
"A newspaper is read by hundreds who
never see the attractive bills which are
posted in the taverns and the store
rooms. Every subscriber to a county
paper reads all such advertisinents
carefully. He knows who is selling out
and exactly what is offered for sale.
The advertisements are a topic of con
versation when friends meet, and ar
rangements are made for attending
sales. The result is a large crowd, spir
ited bidding, and a realization of ten,
twenty or fifty times what it costs to
advertise. No money is so sure to re
turn a large profit asthatspent on prin
ter's ink. A single additional bidder
on a single article will pay all it costs to
•advertise a sale of personal property
in a newspaper. Is it not strange,
then, that any one should fail to adver
tise? Let our friends think of the mat
ter."

SCIIENCK'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 dgested properly, and good healthy blood
made; thus building up the constitution. Schcnck'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.
Schenek's Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well
a.s 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 thei.e 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 aud
stomach. It does not follow that because the bow
els are not costive they are not required, for some
times in diarrhoea they arc 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 aud 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
