Friday Morning, January 24, IDBB. THE LATEST MONSTROSITY. On Thursday of last week, the infa mous Reconstruction Committee, of which Thad. Stevens is chairman, re solved to report to the House, a bill to deprive the .Supreme Court of the Uni ted States, of appellate jurisdiction in all cases arising under the Reconstruction Acts. It seems as if the very Fiend himself possessed the souls of the Radi cal leaders in Congress. Figures of speech fall so far short of that justice which the heart burns to administer to the wretches who are now engaged in destroying our government, that we shall not attempt to employ them. The fiercest curse, the bitterest invec tive, the most terrible anathema, that could be uttered by human lips, could not damn the destroyers of Civil Liber ty to that nethermost hell of infamy, to which they will one day be consigned by the aleliberate judgment of the Americau people. We shall quietly wait for that day of judgment, which we know is swiftly coming, meanwhile contenting ourself with asking thesim ple question, What is to be thought of a political parti/ which is afraiU to permit its legislation to be tested by the Supreme Court of the United States, notwithstand ing the fact that a majority of that Court is composed of appointees of that party's own President, Abraham Lincoln ? TIIE WORKKXOE\ AGAINST THE HECOSSTBCCTIOX I)ESPOTIS3f. The laboring classes suffer more than any other from the destructive policy of the Radical conspirators at Wash ington. Financial matters are unset tled, and, consequently, labor is unem ployed. Hence, the working-men of the country are everywhere arraying themselves in opposition to Radical ism. Last fall, the "Working-men's" candidate for Congress, in Cincinnati, was elected to fill the vacancy occasion ed by the resignation of Gov. Hayes. That candidate was Gen. Samuel F. Carey, a "Republican," but opposed to the ultra measures of the Radical par ty. He was elected by a large majori ty over Smith, his Radical opponent. Gen. Carey is one of the ablest men in Congress, and truly represents, in that body, the interests of the working classes. The other day, when the last ofthebroodof "Reconstruction" buz zards was hatched in Congress, Gen. Carey arose and propounded the fol lowing pertinent questions to Bing ham, the parent of the foul bird : "First—lf General Grant shall neg lect or refuse to execute the provisions of this law, or if in its execution he shall act in an oppressive and cruel manner, to what Iribuual will he be amenable for his nonfeasance or mal feasance? Second—As by the terms of the bill the President cannot interfere, can the General be tried by court mar tial ; and if so, by whose orders, and who shall constitute the court ? Third— Not being a civil officer, can he be im peached ; and if so, by whom, and be fore what tribunal? Fourth—lf he cannot be arraigned by any earthly tribunal, is he not made an absolute despot ? These were centre shots, bomb-shells exploded right in the stomach of Bingham's logic, and they were not responded to. The enemy's battery was completely silenced. Let the work ing-men of America commit to mem ory these questions of their representa tive in Congress, and demand that the Radicals answer them. AN* election for Governor and other State officers, will be held in New Hampshire, on the tenth of March next. Both parties are exerting their utmost strength to win the fight. Last year the Radical candidate for Governor was elected by 3,100 majori ty. Since then the Democrats have made important accessions, and it looks now as though the contest would be a very close one, and sanguine peo ple even hope for a Democratic vic tory. One thing is certain, the Radi cals are bound to lose heavily, and an other thing is equally certain, they can not afford to lose a single rote. They have nominated Gen. Grant for Presi dent in New Hampshire, and they are testing his strength in this election. If they fail to gain on last year's vote, they will see the hand-writing on the wall. Then, neither Grant, nor salt petre, can save them. TIIE fellows who stick to the Radi cal party, after all its shifting and changing during the past three years, may well pray, "Thad! Save us, for we believe in thy Reconstruction, as it was, as it is, and as it shall be, world without end;" and when they go to bed at night, they can say, Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray old Thad my creed to keep, If it should change before 1 wake. Let me know early for Srevens' sake. A GREAT CHANGE is going on in the minds of the people. The outrageous course of Congress is opening the eyes of honest "Republicans" everywhere. | THE NEXT STATE ELECTION. ! On the second Tuesday of October next, the voters of Pennsylvania will ! choose "one person to fill the office of Auditor General" and "one person to j filltheofficeofSurveyor General." We look to the coming- Democratic State Convention for the very best nomina tion for these offices that can be made by the party. Pennsylvania, as usual, will be the batt'e ground for the Presi- j dency, and the Democracy must go into the fight with honest, fearless and trustworthy leaders. There ap pears to be no lack of material from j I which to choose our standard-bearers, and we, therefore, have no apprehen sions on this score. For the office of j | Auditor General, Gen. W. W. H. Da ; vis, of Bucks, Hon. Daniel M. Fox, : of Philadelphia, Gen. J. B. Sweitzer j | of Pittsburg, Col. Jacob Zeigler, of But-1 ler, and Charles E.. Boyle, Esq., of Fay- j ette, have been mentioned. Either of I | these gentlemen would make a most | s excellent candidate,and wecould sup-: | port any of them most heartily. | For Surveyor General, John M. Coop er, Esq., of the Chambersburg Valley ' Spirit, Maj. Jacob Cresswell, of Hunt-: ingdon county, and Col. W. B. Sipos, of Philadelphia, are prominent names. Mr. Cooper is a veteran in the service of Democracy, and the nomination could not be conferred upon a worthier man, or a sounder Democrat. Maj. Cresswell is, also, a favorite with the Democracy of this region and deserved ly so. Col. Sipes is a gallant soldier who passed with honor and distinction through the late war, and if Philadel phia is to furnish the nominee, he is our man. It is, perhaps, needless to add that Mr. Cooper is our first choice for this nomination. It is now eleven years since this Congressional district, (or, we may say, the Southern tier of counties east of the Alleghenies), has had a representative upon the State ticket, and whilst we are willing to do without such a representative eleven years longer, if the good of the Democ racy demand it, we think we can, with propriety, urge the claim of our sec tion. But whatever may bethecourse of the Convention in regard to nomina tions, let itbe careful to select the strong est men. The last Convention displayed eminent wisdom in its selection of a candidate. Any other man than Judge Sharswood would have received just enough votes to have been defeated. His high character as a man and his eminent ability as a jurist, saved us the State. If the corning Convention but act as wisely as that of last year, all will be well. A KAllK'.tli ORGAN PROTESTS. The New York Evening Post is wide-1 ly known as one of the ablest Radical sheets in the United States. It is edit ited by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, the poet, and has always been regarded by "Republicans" as one of their prin cipal organs. But Bryant cannot bear the injustice that is being done to the trampled and ruined people of the South. His poet heart recoils from the monstrous shame that his party are bringing upon his country. His no ble nature revolts at the despotism that is being erected in ten States of the Union. In a recent number of the Post, the author of "Thanatopsis" thus unburdens his soul in regard to "Re construction :" "Congress got into a quarrel with the President; it took counsel of its re sentment, not its wisdom; more oner ous conditions were imposed; until the legislative folly culminated in MILITA RY DESPOTISM u'hich has produced no solitary good effect, which has widened the chasm between tiie races at the South, and which has at length run to such an extravagance that unless arrested it will provoke a general and most disastrous reaction. It is an ex tremity into which we shall not follow any leaders; but on the other hand, we shall continue to protest against it until the voice of reason shall once more make itself heard amid the noisy clamors of Washington." A GENTLEMAN who has been an ar dent "Republican," writes as follows: "The military Re-Re-construction bill, giving Grant despotic power over the entire South, passed the House to day. God help us all ! It is pitiful that not one Republican in the House but Samuel F. Carey, of Ohio, was to be found standing up for Civil Liberty. I believe that this bill dooms the Rad ical party forever. There seems to be such an irresistible spell about unre strained power, that its possessor, be lieving it to be eternal, rushes on from one extreme to another, until the judg ment, sharp and sudden, comes at the very moment when he deems himself most secure. This whole system of or ganized outrage upon Civil Liberty, called "Reconstruction," will melt a-" way under the hot breath of an indig nant people, like the tracery of the frost beneath the rays of the morning sun." "I XDER what flag will the Senator march?" asked Nye of Doolittle, when the latter was making his great speech the other day. "Under the flag of thirty-seven States," was the triumph ant answer. HARRISBURG. Oayely at the State Capital; man on the Rampage; The word White to be stricken from the Constitution . Hon. J. S. Klaek: Whngert Contested lection Case: Committee on Railroads in the House, etc., etc. Correspondence of the Bedford Gaiette. llarrisburg, Jan. 2">, 1868. Mr. Editor:—Our city has b<?en quite gay and likewise festive, for some days past. Good use was made of the snow by those who love to sit behind a spanking team, in a cosy "cutter," with ample furs, whilst they keep time with their thoughts to the tintinabulalion of the "merry, merry bells," and the ice was made the scene of all those varied and intricate and interesting performances which distinguish the skating-park of the last half of the nineteenth century. The State Treasurer elect, a few nights since, gave a dinner to his friends in the Legislature, which was kept up until the "wee sina' hours ayont the twal'," —a merry-making which was, doubtless, indulged in by some people in view of the money-making which the new official expects to begin about May next. By the way it is said that t lie State Treasurer's office pays the in cumbent about $200,000 per annum, though the salary is only $3,000. This proves that "some things can be done as well as others," as Sam Patch used to say. My own notion is that some things might be done belter than others. J. Hickman, of Chester, who has more brains than two thirds of the remainder of the Radical side of the House, introduced a joint resolution the other day, which proposes to amend the Constitution of tiie State so as to restrict the pay of Members and Sena tors to $7OO per year; and to exempt them from arrest in ail cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace and from being questioned in any other place for words spoken in speech or debate iu either House. This a mendment is coupled with another which strikes the word White from the Constitution, ar.d confers the right of Suffrage upon ail negroes able to read that instrument. This latter a mendment is as follows: "In elections by the citizens, every freeman of the aye of twenty-one years, having resided in this .State one year, and in the election district where he offers to vote ten days immediately preceding such elections, having paid a State or county tax within two years, assessed at least ten days before the election, and able to read this Constitu tion, shall enjoy the rights of an elec tor; but a citizen of the United States who has previously been a qualified voter of this State, and removed there from and returned, and whoshailhave resided in the election district and paid taxes as aforesaid, shall be entitled to vote after residing in the State six months: Provided, that freemen, citizens of the United States, between the ages of 21 and 22 years, having re sided in the State one year and in the election district ten days as aforesaid, shall be entitled to vo e, although they shall not have paid taxes." I have very grave doubts whether this amendment would receive the endorsement of a majority of the voters of Pennsylvania. In fact, lam not so sure that it can pass the present Legis lature, for, whilst the Radical Peck sniffs of that body are great on forcing Negro Supremacy upon the Southern States, they are too cowardly to ask their constituents to confer Political Equality upon the blacks of their own State. But, nous verrons. Among the distinguished strangers who visited our place during the pres ent week, was Ex-Chief Justice J. S. Black, now conceded, on all sides, to be the greatest lawyer on this side of the Atlantic. No sooner was it made known that Judge Black had arrived in town, than he was surrounded by friends, anxious to take by the hand the renowned Pennsylvania!! and the honored defender of civil liberty. I can tell you, if I had my way about it, Judge Black would be the next President of the United States as sure as he lived to see the sun go down on the fourth of March, 1869. The Shugert-Robison contested elec tion case in the Senate, drags its slow length along. The principal witness for the contestant, thus far, is a fellow who swears that he was bribed. If the Committee believe the testimony of such a self-convicted scamp, they must be credulous, indeed. There was e nough fraud on the part of the Radi cals, if properly shown up, to insure Robison's exclusion by a larger majori ty than that certified against him by the Return Judges. I understand that some of the counties in the district, have been thoroughly sifted, but that others have been neglected. For in stance, Blair, I am told, has not been attended to at all. The Democrats can carry the State Senate, this year, be yond doubt, if Mr. Shugert be saved. There is yet time to work up the coun ties that have been neglected. Let this be done by all means. Your friends Scull, Roddy, Baer, Findlay and Hay, of Somerset, have been here for some time, looking after the interests of the Pittsburg and Con nelDville Railroad. A strong pressure i is being brought to bear upon both ! Houses in favor of the restoration of the Pittsburg and Connellsville char ter, but it is understood that the Penn sylvania Railroad company will resist i the passage of any bill looking to this end. I think the House will vote to restore the P. & C. charter, but the Senate looks doubtful. Speaker Davis, of the House, has ap pointed nine free railroad men on the Committee on Railroads, eleven anti free-rail road men, and one doubtful as to the railroad question. Thus it I will be seen that the Committee is de ! cidedly against the "free-railroaders." Mr. Davis declares that he made no pledges to the nine "bolters" which he had not made before he was nomi ! nated. This puts Mr. Richards and the rest of the "nine" in a rather awk- I ward predicament. If Mr. Davis I made them no additional pledges, how came they to vote for him ? As ' to the probabilities concerning the passage of a free- railroad law, I think fiome sort of such a law will be passed. But it will contain a proviso which will enable the large corporations now in existence to control every company that may undertake to organize under it. In other words, it will be a nulli ty. I find some of our old friends and acquaintance, in office here. Ex-Sena tor Barnes, of your district, is Assis tant Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate; J. T. Keagy, of your place, is a trans cribing clerk in the House; Samuel Ake, of your county, is a clerk in the Surveyor General's office; and J. \Y. Curry, formerly of your county, now of Altoona, is an Assistant Sergeant-at -arms of the Senate. So, you see, your district is pretty fully represented at Harrisburg. LEX. THE RE-SRPEEMEXTAL-SRIM.EMEX RA. ITY-AE-UHOJISRSI CTION ACT. The following is the latest amendment to tin; "Reconstruction" Acts, which has passed the lower house of Congress, and is now under consideration by the Senate, which body it will also pass: Be it enacted, Arc. , That in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Florida and Arkansas, there are no civil State governments republican in form, and that the so-called civil governments in said States respective ly shall not I*' recognized as valid or legal o- State governments eititer by the executive or judicial power or au thority of lite United States.

MAX KILLED.—A middle-aged man was instantly killed, on Saturday af ternoon last, a short distance above Ty rone, by being struck by tlie engine of the Mail Train Hast. Jlis skull was broken, and he was otherwise injured. He lived in Tyrone, and, in company with his wife, to whom he had been married only four or five days, started to walk to Fostoria. They had step ped from the north to the south track to get out of the way of a freight train. The woman left the road entirely, while the man stood so close to the track that the engine struck him just above the eye, carrying off a portion of his skull and killing him instantly. Altoona Tribune. COUNTERFEIT.—We warn our read ers against taking finely executed notes of the denomination often dollars on the First National Bank of Philadel phia. None but experts can distin gush them from the genuine issue, and numbers of them have been taken by bankers in Philadelphia. It will be well for our store-keepers and busi ness men generally to keep a sharp look out for them. A Suae, ESTIOX. —11 any person wants to know how a horse feels on a hitter morning when a frozen hit is placed in his mouth, let them first place a piece of frozen iron upon their own tongues. Having done this let the coachman or driver see that the hit is warmed before being fixed in position. The horse will look, though he cannot say, 'thank you.' THE BANKRUPT LAW.—Now that this act is going into operation, it is best that every one interested in bank ruptcy should have a good copy of the law; and we can think of 110 better way of obtaining one than by sending 20 cents to Frank Moore, Publisher, Bible House, New York, for a copy of his "People's Edition." It is sent free by mail for 20 cents. —Belgium furnishes the largest num ber of recruits for the Papal army. ROXGRCSSIOXAL. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2D. In the U. S. Senate, yesterday, the House Reconstruction'bill was an nounced and laid over. On motion of Mr. Harlan,a bill was passed appropria ting $15,000 for the destitute in the • District of Columbia. The case ofSeti tor Thomas was discussed. Mr. I>oo little took the floor, and argued that any one of known disloyalty would not seek admission, as they' knew that if they came and committed perjury, they would be expelled at once; that! Mr. Thomas' letter of resignation and j giving $lOO to his son were consistent with innocence, the former merely proving that he held wrong opinions in common with many others, a fatal : heresy, that cost vast expenditure of blood and treasure, but th-- holding ol which did not necessarily constitute' treason, that being a man of high character, willing to come and take the j oath, there was no more reason for ex cluding him than Wendell Philips, for his utterances, or Horace Greeley, whose articles in the "Tribune," de claring that if a majority of a State de sired to secede they had a right to do it, were read by Robert Toombs before the Georgia Secession Convention, thereby carrying the Convention, with j the Tribune in his hand. When Al bert C. Brown withdrew from the Sen ate to join the rebellion, Edwin M. I Stanton met him outside of the door, and urged him to go on in his course, j wishing him "God speed," and saying i he was right. In the House, A bill was passed pro viding for the holding of a Circuit! Court in Erie, Penna. Mr. Van Wyck, of N. V., from the Retrenchment Com mittee, presented a report in regard to j the Gettysburg Lottery Scheme. Mr. Blaine, of Me., introduced a bill which was referred, relating to the taxing of ! National bank shares. Mr. Julian ad-j dressed the House in explanation and advocacy of tlie bill, dwelling at con siderable length upon the impolicy of allowing tive millions of acres of land to beheld in the grasp of corporations and speculators, while thirteen-four teenths of the people of the South are landless, and denouncing those corpor ations for the aid which they gave to the rebellion. A debate here followed between Mr. Chandler and Julian. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. In the U.S. Senate, yesterday, the President's message, declaring that the Equal Rights bill had failed to be come a law, was referred. The Senate insisted on its amendments to tiie De licency Appropriation bill. A oiil was reported and passed, authorizing the Comptroller of the Currency to re place destroyed and mutilated Nation al bank notes. The joint resolution for Southern relief was passed. The Reconstruction bill was debated. In the House, on motion of Mr. Chandler, of New York, the Commerce Committee were directed to inquire into the means of preventing such evils as those of the cholera ship Leibnitz in future. The Naval Appro priation bill was reported and recom mitted. It appropriates over $18,000,- 000. The bill to prevent payment of Southern war claims was considered. The Conference Committee on the Cotton bill reported that they had a greed to the Senate amendment exempt ing foreign cotton from duty. The House refused to concur in the amendment, the yeas being 97 and the nays 79, and a new conference was ordered. The death of Representative Hise, of Kentucky, was announced, and tne House adjourned. JOSEPHINE. — So far AS the intrin sic interest of the facts is concern ed upon which .Miss Muhlbaeli bases her story, this latest production of her pen may be said to rival any of its pre decessors. Nowhere in all history is there a tragedy so sweet and sad as that of Josephine—woman, wife, em press, and worse than widowed. The skillful romancer has gathered the facts from all known sources, and woven them intoacoinpact and gleaming web. Miss Muhl bach is accused of high col oring; but what tints can be too bright or too dark by contrast for the light and shade of such a marvelously chequ ered career as Josephine's? This tale is well translated, and the graceful, characteristic style of the author duly preserved. In the art of gently beguil ing the reader from page to page by the charm of style, Miss Muhloach has no superior living ; though in this in stance, lie dramatic arrangement of the stirring incidents is so ingenious and captivating that a more barren style would still have left the work higly interesting. We are glad to see the" Km press Josephine" worthily illus trated. There can be no dispute about the claims of such lovely designs as the vignette, Marie Antoinette, the night before her execution,the beautiful llor tense meditating 111 agarden, the divor ced Empress, and Josephine's stolen interview with the little Napoleon. Gaston Fay is the author of these ex quisite sketches, and unless we mis take, he has the stuff in him for the making of a first-class reputation.

Proofs of the Superiority of ■ THE AMERICAN I VALT HAM WATCHES. This country has reason to be proud of this splendid specimen of American operative genius and enterprise. That it will work a revolution in the watch manufacturing of the world no one can doubt who examines the operations of the Waltham establishment, for it turns out watch movements at just abont one-half the cost of im ported movements—beside the uniform reliability of the machine-made watches must give them a great advantage over all others wherever known. A poor time-piece of the machine make will be as rare in the future as a good one of hand make has been heretofore for machinery is arbitrary in its performance, andean make a perfect article just as e sy as one that is worthless. It will be a cause of congratulation if this highly useful A mericau Enterprise shall have the effect of driv ing out of market the thousands of trashy foreign articles miscalled timekeepers, by furnishing so excellent and economical a substitute. —A Y ■ Times. •'We have had one of the works of this Company in a case for some considerable time, and compar ing them with former first-class works of different manufacture possessed by us, they have estab lished in our opinion their superiority over any ever introduced for correctness as time pieces."— The World. "We notice with regret (writing of the Paris Exposition) the absen e of specimens of American manufacture, which, although only compara tively of recent birth among us, is already pro ducing results of the most satisfactory character. The watches manufactured by the Waltham Com pany are certainly, so far as strength, durability, and excellence as time keepers are concerned, as good as anything produced by the French or Swiss manufacturers."—A r . Y. Herald. "The beauty, the precision, the greater cheap ness, the uniform excellence of a watch construc ted by machinery so exquisite that the mere spectacle of its operation is poetic, gradually give the American Watches a public preference which will not be deceived."— Harpers' Weekly.
