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.

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.

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.

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.

DARK HOURS.—TO every man there
are many dark hours, when he feels in

hours when his heart's dearest hopes

think that he alone has dark hour*.
They are the common lot of humanity.
They are the touchstone to try wheth

ADDRESS TO THE NERVOUS AND DE
BILITATED whote sufferings have been protracted
from hideous causes, and whose cases require
prompt treatment to render existence desirable.
If you are suffering or have suffered from involun
tary discharges, what effect does it produce upon
your general health? Do you feel weak, debilita
ted. easily tired? Does a little extra exertion pro
duce palpitation of the heart ? Does your liver, or
urinary orgaus, or your kidneys, frequently get out
of order ? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky, or
lloeky, or is it ropy on settling' Or does a thick
scum rise to the top? Or is a sediment at he bottom
after it has stood awhile? Do you have spells of
short breathing or dyspepsia ? Are your bowels
constipated ? Do you have spells of fainting or
rushes of blood to the head ? Is your memory im
paired? Is your mind constantly dwelling upon
thissubject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping,
tired of company, of life ' Do you wish to De left
alone, to get away from everybody ? Does any lit
tle thing make you start or jump ? Is your sleep
broken or restless ? Is the lustre of your eye as
brilliant? The bloom on your cheek as bright'
Do you enjoy yourself in society as well ? Do you
pursue your business with the same energy ? Do
you feel" as much confidence in yourself ? Are
your spirits dull and flagging, given to fits or mel
ancholy ? If so, do not lay it to your liver or
dyspepsia. Have you restless nights? Your back
weak, your knees weak, and have but little appe
tite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver
complaint?
Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases badly
cured, and sexual excesses, are all capable of pro
ducing a weakness of the generative organs. The
organs of generation, when in perfect health, make
the man. Did you ever think that those bold, de
fiant, energetic, persevering, successful business
men are always those whose generative organs
are in perfect health ? You never bear
men complain of being melancholy, of nervous
ness, of palpitation of the heart, ihey are nev
er afraid they cannot succeed in business ; they
don 1 1 become sad and discouraged ; they are al
ways polite and pleasant in the company of ladies,
and look you and them right in the face —uone ol
your downcast looks or any other meanness about
them. Ido not mean those who keep the organs
inflamed by running to excess. These will not
only ruin their constitutions, but also thofe they do
business with or for.
How many m- n from badly-cured diseases, from
the effects of self-abuse and excesses, have brought
about that state of weakness iu those organs that
has reduced the general system so much as to in
duce almost every other disease —idiocy, lunacy,
paralysis, spinal affections, suicide, and almost
every other form of disease which humanity is heir
to, and the real cause of the trouble scarcely ev
er suspected, and have doctored for all but the
right one.
Diseases of these organs require the use of a diu

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.
