o-.he Bedford o aortic. .. .. * 1 -C < I'riiiny burning, lltc*eink*r It, Is-V XHie ITOI'I.E TO KE CHEATED. Congress assembled on Monday last. This is the same old rump which un dertook to impeach and remove Presi dent Johnson, which invented recon struction and which is the parent of all the deviltries foisted upon the country since the fourth of March, 1867. Its existence is fast drawing to a close. Three months more will finish its ca reer of infamy. What it may be ca pable of in its hours of doting senility, remains to be seen. It is given out that it will attempt to "amend" the Constitution by proposing to the legis latures of the States the insertion in that instrument of a clause conferring suffrage upon ail "men," irrespective of race or color. Sumner is ready with a proposition of this character, as is al so Kelley, of Philadelphia, and, doubt less, there are other radical tinkers who are anxious to lie the first to put this black patch upon the Constitution. We have no doubt that this will be at tempted, and we, therefore, call upon tlie people to prepare to resist, by ev ery legal means, this threatened inva sion of their reserved rights. The right to regulate the suffrage is one which neither people nor States delegated to the federal government in the Constitution. It is one of the rights which was reserved to them. No one can dispute this truth. Even the Chicago Platform, upon which Grant was elected, acknowledges this fact, by declaring that the people of the "loyal states" must be permitted to settle the question of suffrage for themselves. But, now, a Congress, elected without reference to this mat tor, and upon the special denial of the radical party that it was its intention to establish negro suffrage, is about to introduce a scheme by which the peo ple are to ho defrauded of this sacred right. The amendment regulating the sutfrage, is to be proposed to the legislatures already elected, the mem bers of which were chosen without a thought on the part of the voters that the persons whom they were selecting to represent them would be called up on to decide a question of this charac ter. These Legislatures are to rote away forever thus dear anil cheridtedpop ular right, anil the people themselves are not to be consulted in regard to it at all. Such is the present programme of the radical leaders. In our judgment the member of the legislature who votes for the ratifica tion of this amendment, is 110 better than a highway robber and ought to be summarily dealt with ly his con stituents. He deliberately robs the people of their undelegated right to settle the question of sutfrage for them selves. if he be a radical, ho know ingly violates his pledges to his own party, made in hi- endorsement of the Chicago Platform. Neither statute nor common law provides for the pun ishment of such a criminal, because his offence is against a natural right, reserved by the people, and uncon trolled by any written law. A coat of tar-and-feathers would, however, an swer the ends of justice. Meanwhile, let men of all parties, who would not sell their birth-right for a mess of pottage, demand of their representatives in (he State Legislature, that they submit this suffrage ques tion to the people for settlement. Jf suffrage is to he conferred upon the Negro, or the Chinaman, or the Indi an, let (hepeople, and not the politi cians, do it. Who will dare to advo cate the contrary? A .\i r rote 1.1 rz. The Radical speakers and newspa pers boasted throughout the late can v ass that the poor man paid no taxes, but that the burdensof the government fell only upon the shoulders of the rich, who were able to bear them. No one persisted more in this mendacious doctrine than the editor of the Inquir er. On several occasions we exposed this fallacy through the columns of the j GAZETTE. We knew—as well as ev ery intelligent man in the country knows—that we were right, and tiiat the Radical cry that the poor man paid no taxes was but an electioneering dodge. For the benefit of the would be "poor man's friend," we commend the following to the philosopher of the Inquirer. At Richmond, Virginia, on Tuesday last, 31 r. Chits*', in his charge to the (fraud Jury of the District Court said : "We admonish you, gentlemen, to exercise your utmost vigilance on the subject. Frauds in revenue are an evil which the whole land cries out upon, and frauds upon the revenue are frauds upon the whole hotly of taxpayers, and no one who eats, drinks, wears, or is sheltered under any roof, however hum ble, now escapes from taxation." It is thus seen that Chief Justice Chase takes the same views of the op pression of the present system ol taxa tion, brought about by the "rings" and the monied aristocracy of the country, as the Democratic party holds on this subject. These combinations are pow erful, aud can, nay, have already shift- jpd too Iprgo a projection of the taxes Of be country upon the laboring class es. It is to remedy, so far as can be done by the courts, this great wrong that the Chief Justice so earnestly calls the attention of the Grand Jury to the frauds that are daily committed in revenue. It is not far the benefit of the rich and opulent that these evils are to he ferreted out but for the good of the humblest citizen, for no one "however humble, now escapes taxation." Put this in your pipe, Mr. Lutz, and smoke it at your leisure. A NEGRO Ot''i(E-HOM)ER. It seems that Gov. Geary has deter mined not only to carry the load which his Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth, Gara, laid upon his shoulders in his letter to the recent Af rican convention in Harrisburg, but to weight himself even more heavily by issuing a commission of office to a ne gro, in defiance of the constitution which he is sworn to support. One Deter Smith, an African, has re cently been commissioned by the Gover nor, as a constable, or policeman, for the town of Ilelfenstein, Schuylkill county. The Governor, by this action, has set at naught the constitution of Pennsyl vania, which, as every one knows, does not recognize the negro as quali fied either to vote or hold office. He has deliberately broken his solemn oath to maintain that constitution, as well as insulted every while man in the slate, by issuing this commission. Doubtless, the Governor imagines that the course he has seen tit to pursue, will recommend him to the radical party for re-nomination. But we are much mistaken if there be not men, even in that party, to whom such a bid for the favor of the ultra radicals will bring nothing but disgust. Per haps the Governor will find out, some day, that the white men of Pennsylva nia are not, after all, so very anxious to take the negro into political partner ship. If the coming legislature dare to cheat the people out of the right to settle the suffrage question for them selves, the Governor will learn, to his heart's content, what it is to stand up on a Negro Suffrage Platform in the Keystone State. XOff IS rut: TIRE. Next year there will be a most im portant political canvass. The Demo cracy, taught in the severe school of experience, will nominate their strony esl men, determined to win the fight. In view of the coming struggle, it is highly important that efforts to in crease our vote should be made at once and kept up until the election. Now is the time to work. At present their are some cool heads in the coun try. Don't wait until radical false hoods heat them. During the quiet of wintt r, people will read and reflect. — Will Democratic politicians sou to it that the proper kind of reading is fur nished, so that the people may not be led to indulge in reflection that is false and baneful? A little eflort would place a good Democratic journal in the hands of such intelligent, thinking "Republi cans," as possess the honesty and inde pendence to do right in spite of their party. Shall this be done?

IIORKIULE AFFAIR NEARCORNING, | NEW YORK. — A Girl Murders a Child, I then Roasts it on a Stove. —We have le ceived the particulars of a horrible af j fair which occurred about a mile from Corning, Wednesday last, November 25th. At the place indicated there re sided a family named McCullough, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. McCullough and their three children, aged, respec tively five, three and one and a half year-.—The husband i- represented to lie a shiftless, indolent fellow, and bis wife lias been compelled to labor to support the family. She has lately been selling sewing machines, and on Wednesday last started on a trip through the surrounding country for that purpose, leaving her children in charge ofa girl named Barber, aged eighteen years, whom she hired for the purpose. In the evening the youngest chiid cried and was fretful, when, it is said, Barber threw it npon the floor and stamped upon it until it was al most lifeless. Then taking the little one up she held its hands upon a hot stove until they were terribly burned. The child was too far gone to utter inore than a faint scream while it was being roasted. Barber then threatened to throw it into a well, when the oth er children, who had witnessed the whole thing, told her that if she did they would tell tiieir mother. The girl then wrapped the child in a blank et or bed-quilt, and placed it in a bed, where it was found by the mother, who returned home Wednesday night, dead. The marks of brutality were plainly visible on its little body, and, after questioning the children, infor mation was given the coroner.—After an investigation lie ordered the arrest of Barber, called a jury, and an inquest was in session yesterday. The inquest will be concluded to-day, and it is said there can be no doubt as to the finding of the jury.— Rochester [N. Y.) Union 2s/A ultimo. ANOTHER TENNESSEE HORROR— llutchery of an Entire Family. —A lit tle over a week ago a frightful tragedy was enacted in Fentress county, Ten nessee, near the Kentucky line. There lived in that section a family composed of an old lady, some eighty years of of age, and her three grandchildren— one a young lady, another a boy of twelve and the third a small girl. In the neighborhood was a man named Logsdon, ill-favored of face and of lit tle character, who in some way became cognizant of the fact that the old lady had in her possession a considerable a mount of money, the back pay of her dead son, who had been a soldier, and he resolved to secure it at all hazards. Proceeding one night to the house she occupied, Logsdon, with knife and re volver, murdered the grand-daughter, and left the boy for dead also. All the money he found, however, was s7o, and with this he fled. The boy, who fortunately survived, next day told the tale of the bloody work of the night, and the sheritf of Fentress county, as soon as he could be notified, started im mediately in pursuit of the murderer with a warrant. lie passed through Clinton county, in this State, wiiere he was joined by the sheritf of Clinton, and together the two sheriffs made their way to Hustonville, Lincoln county. Here they captured the murderer at the house of his father, even ; fore he had changed his clothing he wore when he committed the terrible crime, and which bore the blood-stains of the cru el murder.— iMuisville Courier. If all the legal white votes in this country had been polled, and no illegal negro votes had been polled, the popular majority against Grant would be over a million.

An official aecountofthe terrible disas ters which have rreently happened in Switzerland, the looses from which can be counted by millions, lias been re ceived from the American legation at the State Department, at Washington. By a fearful rainfall which succeeded an unusually dry season, much of the cantons ofGriaons, Tessin, the Valais, Glaris and St. Gall and Uri have, in consequence thereof, been literally des olated by inundations. The mountain rivulets and cascades suddenly swelled to torrents swept villages, hamlets, cattle, roads, bridges, dikes, earth and stone as debris upon the fields below, which are thus rendered forever hope less wastes. The appeal of the authori ties of the Canton of Tessin to their more fortunate fellow countrymen of ticially sets forth the effects of the storm, and this description may bo ta ken as applicable, in a greater or less extent, to the other cantons named : "In the night of the 27th and 28th September, our canton was struck by a frightful catastrophe. A volume of water percipitated itself as a deluge in to the valleys of Blenio, of the Levan tine, the Riviera, he Vernasco and the Maggia. This scourge was accompan ied by the destruction of buildings and by the fall of irees. by earth and rock slides in such a manner as If all the ele ments had combined to rival each oth er in the work of devastation. All the beautiful country that extends from Giornieeand Olivoneto Biasea, unrec ognizable to-day. is nothing but a mass of debris. Roads, bridges and dykes are destroyed; houses, mills and stables have been swept away ; the rich forests, the fertile fields and vineyards, but yesterday flourishing, have disappear ed ; cattle have perished by the thou sands, and that which adds to the con sternation is the loss of more than fifty persons, some surprised in their sleep, and others the victims of their devo tion, while attending to rescue and as sist the drowning. Fathers and moth ers of families have been crushed un der the falling houses, and their bodies swept off by the rushing waters. The disaster surpasses all that imagination can picture. Thousands of fam ilies have been struck by the calamity, and many of them have been reduced to the lust extremity—without roof, without clothes, without bread, and several deprived of their fathers." Appeals have been made to the be nevolent for aid to the despoiled peas antry of Switzerland, whose foresight could not have evaded the terrible blow which has fallen upon them, and their cry of distress goes up not only to their own countrymen in the United States, but with equal force to the benevolent among Americans and residents here of whatever origin or nationality they may be. A liciiiililu! Colore*! Lndf. A preacher in one of the most fash ionable churches of this city said in bis sermon last Sunday: "I once babtized a colored lady in the Atlantic Ocean, and although she was as black as she could eOHVeuioatJy be, rshe looked beautiful." "Colored lady" is a phrase in harmony with what are called the advanced ideas of the age, and with the Africanized religion of the majori ty of our churches. This wench also "looked beautiful" to the admiring minister. He held her in his arms as the cold Atlantic wave struck her vel vety skin, no doubt she clung to him with hope, if not with tenderness. Then it was that she looked beautiful. Then it was that the radiant "colored lady" won the admiration of the rev erend gentleman. The impression was so strong that it survived the shock of time, and so iiulellibiy stamp ed his memory, that he makes it the subject of a sermon, long years after wards. An admiring throng of refined white people, of old men and young maidens—are treated to the meritsofa beautiful black wench, as something exceeding all ordinary human excel lence. The object of this kind of ne gro preaching, is to educate the people in the political doctrines of the .Mon grel party. Hardly a prayer is now offered, or sermon preached, in which some admiring reference is not made to the negro. llis name is oftener spoken in the pulpit than the name of Jesus Christ, and the ribald infidel is less condemned than the doubter in the especial excellence of the negro. ; Such vile political sinks are these ne gro-worshipping pulpits.—A', v.

Buffalo in unusual numbers have dur ing tlie past month, crossed the rail road track on the Union Pacific lioadi Ik J., between Fort Marker and Hays City, mostly in the vicinity of Bunker Hill. A gentleman just from Hays City says the train was detained three times in order to allow of the passing of the uncounted bellowing herds which sweep over the Plains. The herds this season are moving north, a fact quite unusual, as generally at the approach of winter these animals, obeying lire laws of instinct, migrate southward, where the climate is milder and grass more plentiful. The cause of the buffalo mo ving towards the north this season is said by old hunters and ranchemen to be the presence of great numbers of troops and Indians on liieir accustom ed feeding grounds. However this may be, there is promise of line bunt ing the coming winter in the territory watered by the Republican fork, be tween the Piatte and Smoky Hill routes, where they will be undisturbed by the Indians, as the latter have mostly been forced to evacuate that re A handsome California gold nugget, thickly veined, and nearly one-halfcov ered with gold, was found recently in the Lincoln tunnel, Butte county, 2,">00 feet below the top of the hill.

CHIME IN LIVERPOOL — MajorGreig, head constable of Liverpool, in his an ual report, just made, says the increase of juvenile offenders is this year very marked, and drunkenness has greatly increased, while education is much less. The whole number of indictable offenses, however, is less than last year, being 1,(357 against 4,7(32 in ISG7. Of 27 eases of murder, 2:3 were for the murder of infants. To check the in crease of infanticide, a reward of SIOO was offered for the arrest and convic tion of any person guilty of this crime, but without avail. The record of drunkenness is the highest ever made, being an increase over the proceeding year of 2,.510 cases. The constable says he is unable to account for this increase. The two blackest hours in the week for producing drunkenness are from ten to twelve on Saturday night. The en tire number of persons who were drunk when apprehended was 1(5,770, or 2,5-17 more than last year. The cases for drunkenness alone were 14,4(51. A comparative statement for the last eight years of persons dealt with by the justices shows that education has been grow ing less; of the 26,70:1 persons apprehended during the year, only 222 could read and write well; there were 10,904 who could neither read nor write. il*tvaisive - irw in 2'fai!;t<l<tJ]!t2a.
