(iATIIEBIXfi Of THE lII'IZAKIIH.
The legislature assembled onTuesdav,
of last week, and was organized by the
election of John Clark, of Philadelphia,
as Speaker, and James L. Selfridge, of
Northampton as Clerk of the House,
and Wilmer Worthington, of Chester,
as Speaker, and G. W. Hamersly, of
Philadelphia, as Clerk, of the Senate.
The Radical caucus to nominate candi
dates for U. S. Senator and State Treas
urer, assembled on Wednesday of last
week, when John Scott, of Hunting
don, was nominated for the former po
sition and Robert Mac-key, of Pittsburg,
for the latter. This isa triumph of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
Simon Cameron, over the politicians
of the Radical party. John Scott,
however, is an independent man and is
in the habit of thinking for himself.
We expect better things of him than
from any Radical at present in the U.
S. Senate. It is the general belief that
Mackey's nomination was purchased.
Some who pretend to know, aver that
at least SIOO,OOO changed hands before
this nomination was effected. MeClure
and the Curtin men have been com
pletely annihilated.
1.1 TZ IS A UIAXDAUY.
The crude and undigested philosophy
of the radical demagogues upon the
tariff question, blindly and slavishly
adopted, of course, by the Inquirer , has
gotten brother Latz into a quandary.
We noticed, in an article in our issue
before the last, the fact that the Inqui
rer reprinted from the Baltimore A
meriean, some very sound and truth
ful remarks upon the fallacious and
ruinous system of imposing duties on
imports consisting of raw materiais.—
We argued from this fact that brother
Lutz was about to become a convert
to the Democratic doctrine on the tariff
question. In reply, our neighbor, in
a very irritable mood, declares that
his party never favored tariff duties on
the raw material. Brother Lutz is li
able to correction.
We ask him, is not the article of wool
a raw material? And have not the
radical party imposed a heavy duty
on imported wool? Is not coal raw
material,out of which gas and oils,
etc., are manufactured? And have
not the radical party imposed a tariff
duty on foreign coal ? Is not lumber
raw material? -And have not the rad
ical party laid a duty upon lumber
imported from abroad? These ques
tions cannot lie answered in the nega
tive. However much the Inquirer may
be given to falsification of the record,
it will not dare even to prevaricate up
on this subject. Facts are facts, and
brother Lutz will find them stubborn
things in the bargain.
Now, then, as wool, coal and lumber
are raw materials, and are all subject
ed to tariff duties, brother Lutz will
acknowledge that he made a mistake
when he said that his party never fav
ored the imposition of such duties upon
the raw materia!. Again, as he ad
mits that he is opposed to a tariff upon
the raw material, he is certainly in
favor of free trade so far as the article s
of wool, coal and lumber are concern
ed. Hail, regenerate Lutz! Welcome,
illustrious convert to the doctrines of
Adam Smith, Ricardo and Say ! Ilur
rah for the raw material!
THE Washington Correspondents
thrilled the "loil" heart on Monday
morning with the dreadful announce
ment that the President elect actually
dined on Saturday with a rebel Gen
eral. Jlisnameis Wickham, and he
came North to lobby for Sherman's
bill to control by the national govern
ment the railroads radiating from
Washington. After this we shall hear
nothing more of Reverdy Johnson's
treasonable act in shaking hands with
Laird, the English sliip-builder. An
drew Johnson pardons rebels, but
Grant goes one step further. lie in
vites them to dine with him. Is not
this enough to fill the "loil" breast
witli direst forebodings? After the
noble efforts of the radicals by disfran
chisement laws to put rebels under
the ban, their candidate seizes the
earliest opportunity to ask the first one
who comes to Washington home to
dinner. It is too bad. If the Tenure
of Office act be repealed, there is reason
to fear that Grant will fill the offices
with rebels. Is this the way to make
treason odious?
ONCE MORE. —They are making pre
parations among the government law
yers at Washington for another trial of
►Surratt. It is a profitable job for them,
and Surratt has not been tried for some
time. It is supposed that he will be
tried about ten times during Grant's
administration.
THE Indians trouble us. As the col
ored troops fought so, match them a
gainst the red skins, and thus be rid
of both. Butler eould back theneg
rens, Hiram back his friends tiieabori- j
ginees, and we'd bet on the winning
side J i

To some of our democratic friends it
seems a long, long, weary time to wait
until the return of common sense
shall re-tore the democracy fo ofiice
and power. There are men even in
the democratic ranks wlw> are frail e
nough to mix with their devotion to
principle some thought of prospective
loaves and fishes. To such we say,
fear not. The time will come when
you may, if you will, step from out the
rauks of the shivering and disconso
late "outs" and enrol yourselves a
moug the number of the comfortable
and happy "ins."
Perchance, if you are well advanced
in years, this greatly longed-for era
may not come soon enough to enable
you to make millionaires of your own
and your wife's relations. If such be
the case, you are "too old" to play at
the game of politics. Our advice is
that you had better quit it and turn
your attention to matters of graver in
terest.
The younger men, however, should
keep in good heart. Let their best en
ergies be devoted to the service of the
democratic cause, with the certain as
surance that their unselfish labors in
behalf of principle, will be rewarded
in the end. It may be that the demo
cratic party will not be able to give
them theqiridprnquo; it may lie that
their advocacy of democratic measures
and their support of democratic candi
dates, will not bring them offices and
emolument within the pale of the dem
ocratic organization. But what mat
ter? The opponents of democracy will
be glad, in due time, to take them to
their bosom and make them rulers in
the anti-democratic Israel. Let only
our younger men remain true to the
democratic faith until they become
old ; let them only, when they arrive
at the age of second childhood, be able
to say, we have been "life long demo
crats," aiid if they don't get offices
from the democracy they will be sure
to get thein from our opponents.
For the proof: U. S. Grant was a
life-long democrat until 1363; Simon
Cameron was a life-long democrat un
til 1854 ; J. K. Moorhead was a life-long
democrat until 1858; John W. Geary
was a life-long democrat (without an
affix) until 18G5; John Scott was a life
long democrat until 1863; John F.
Hartranft was a life-long democrat
until 1865; Benjamin Harris Brewster
was a life long democrat until 1863;
John Cessna was a life-long democrat
until 1864, etc., etc. So, youngsters,
work away in the cause of democracy
until you get old. If you don't, mean
while, get office in the democratic
ranks, you can plead your dotage as an
excuse for turning radical, and by the
recommendation of your life-long dem
ocracy, you will at once be elevated to
a place of honor and profit during life
and be canonized as a political saint
when you come to "shuttle oil" this mor
tal coil." Be ye of good cheer. All's
well that ends well.
A I'KETTV GAME.
j A committee appointed under a res-
I olution of Congress is ''investigating''
the alleged election frauds in New
| York, with the double purpose of ma
! king a little Buncombe for the radical
party and drawing off the attention of
' the public from the complete failure of
I Congressional legislation on the subject
of reconstruction and the finances.
This committee has been in session
for some days in the city of New York.
The other day it was discovered that a
number of thieves and burglars were
before the committee to swear away the
good name of reputable citizens, when
they were taken in charge by the sher
iff. Of course the Tribune at once rais
ed a howl over this treatment of its
pet witnesses, and the cry went abroad
that the democrats were trying to de
feat the efforts of the committee.
The men who employedSanford Con
over and Lafayette C. Baker to swear
away the lives and liberties of innocent
people, are, of course, not slow in find
ing other witnesses of a similar charac
ter. The room in which the commit
tee holds its sessions is now closely
guarded so as to protect the cut-throats
who are to testify before it from the
clutches of the law. After a little while
a report will be made, based upon the
testimony of these perjured outlaws, to
the effect that great frauds have been
perpetrated by the democrats of New
York, and the radical hypocrites who
are the suborners of this perjury, will
hold up their hands in affectation of
the most pious horror at the awful un
veiling of the flagitiousness of demo- i
cratic outrages upon the ballot-box .'
'•When that I was a tiny little boy,
With hcy-ho, the wind and the rain,
A fuoliah thing waa but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day.
But when I came toman's estate,
With hey-ho the wind and the rain,
'tJainst knave and fool men shut their gate
For the rain it raineth every day."
GEN. MCCEEREAX and Gen. Grant
have been in private consultation, and
there is a panic in the Radical cauip in I
consequence. Articles of impeach- j
merit should be prepared at once—they
may be needed soon after the 4th of :
March.

Row in Hayti. A British war ves
sel seized, and a rumor to the effect
that the American Consul lias been
personally malt rented l<y the black re
publicans of that volcanic isle. But,
then, why should not the negroes there
meddle somewhat, seeing that the
Congress at Washington, which em
bodies in its Radical membership all
the worth, virtue,intelligence, decency,
and goodness of our public life, tinkers
away at everything rather than the pa
cification of the country and adjust
ment of the finances? Like to like,
and what better can be expected any
where from ignorance, license, and par
ty. hate.
It is stated that General Butler, in his
forth-coming financial speech will re
commend the withdrawal of all legal
tender notes and the substitution of
certificates of indebtedness in the same
amounts as legal-tenders, and provide
that these certificates shall he receiva
j hie for all debts due the government,
and for internal revenue taxes
and for custom duties. This is inten
ded to obviate any demand for the
government to resume specie payment,
and is intended to aid in dispensing
with specie as a basis of currency.
So large a number of Congressmen
are absent in different States attending
to the election of United States Sena
tors, that the work of the different com
mittees has been seriously interfered
with.
THE Radicals have raised the hue
and cry against Delaware because she
whips convicted criminals, but grown
up school girls are whipped in public
schools of Boston. Which is the worst.
Massachusetts is shamed, if not
shocked, at the spread of foeticide in
that -tate, and Doctor Storer and oth
ers have done good service in rousing
the moral of the State to a too com
mon crime which is fast confining the
sole increase in population to the for
j eign-born and foreign-descended citi
| zens of Massachusetts. Philadelphia is
alarmed at the increase of infanticide
in that city, the statistics of the year
18>>s showing 01 cases of child-murder
against 66 in 1867. Of these, the case
of alleged infanticide by Hester Vaug
han is the only one which attracted
public attention, though theexhibition
by the coroner now prompts the Phi la
j delphiu j>apers to urge some legislative
action which will tend to lessen the
| slaughter of children by their mothers.
THE TELEGRAPH IN UTAH.—Brig
bam Young has telegraph wires lead
ing to bis office and connectiing with
every hamlet in Utah a liueGui) mil s
long. Every settlement of half a doz
en houses has a telegraph office, with
female Saint operators, and in charge
of a bishop of the Mormon Church, and
who can report at any time all that
takes place to Young. From his pri
vate office in Salt Lake City, like the
watchman in the fire telegraph, Brig
ham may give an order or ring an a
larni from Idaho to New Mexico.
CAN'T DO IT. —Don l'iatt, the Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, writes that he lately had
had a conversation with one of what
are called the "carpet-hag" Represen
tatives in Congress from a Southern
State, and tried to convince him that
it would be well, just for the appear
ance of the thing, to cast a vote now
and then for the region he claimed to
represent. But no; he found his friend
had an intense contempt for one-half
of his "constituents," and a deadly
hatred for the other half.
During the recess of Congress the
clerks and employees of that body have
been engaged in marking and sending
off over the country political docu
ments of the Rump persuasion. There
is at this moment a deficiency of $lO,-
000 in the appropriation of that branch
of the public service, lint the Rump
must have their political documents
distributed, and the people must pay
for it.
A postmaster in Ohio, and his two
sons, all bright lights of the "God-and
morality party," have been detected
in robbing letters of money. There has
been more mail robbing in the last
eight years than in the fifty years he
fore the election of Lincoln.
Through Stanton. Hon. John A.
Bingham received a fee of $5,000 of the

benefit to his race.

Tit & COAL SALE IN NEW YORK.—
The Delaware, Lackawanna and West

Both houses of Congress- reassembled
yesterday and proceeded to the trans
action of business. In the Senate a
number of petitions were presented,
among them several for the removal
of political disabilities of citizens of
Virginia, Georgia and other Southern
States. A resolution requesting the

of his recent amnesty proclamation,
and asking by what authority it was
issued, having been offered, led to a
spirited debate. It was finally adop
ted.
In the House the consular and di
plomatic bill was reported. Several
other bills were introduced an 1 refer
red. The House then resolved itself
into committee of the whole on the
President's message of 1N67, which
was discussed until the hour of adjourn
ment.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.
In the Senate, yesterday, a petition

citizens of Missouri asking for female
suffrage. After transacting some un
important business, the bill providing

moving the political disabilities of J.
G. Stokes, of Alabama. The pension

ate, yesterday, after the introduction
of bills and their reference to commit
tees, a discussion ensued oil the bill to
prevent the holding of two offices at
once, or the holding of a civil office

the morning hour. The judiciary
committee reported in favor of the in
definite postponement of the bill in re
lation to the claims of Southern loyal
Citizens.
In the House, after considerable de
bate, the bill relating to tiie medical
staff of the navy was laid upon the

ernment, and also a bill removing the
political disabilities of Messrs Peck

was likewise passed. The House also
adjourned over until Monday.
INDIAN* WARFAUE.—TO kill one In
dian with our army it is said c osts sev
eral hundred thousand dollars, but
heretofore then- have been 110 winter
campaigns against the hostile savages,
and General Sheridan's innovation in
this particular may give us captives in
place of dead men, at possibly cheaper
rates.
General Sheridan has in his hands at
this moment the two ablest and most
daring Indian leaders south of the
I'iatte, "Santana" and "Little Wolf,"
the Kiowa and Arapahoe chiefs. The
first-named began the war in ISG3-'4;
the present war is but a continuation or
prolongation of that. "Black Kettle,"
whose camp was surprise d, and who
with most of his hand was slain, had
hitherto always been considered a friend
of the whites. For years he was not
allowed to eamp with the ' Dog sol
diers" —the remaining Cheyenne bands,
who under Itoinau Nose were always
hostile. This chief has fortunately
been killed. Some timesinee,another
scourge of the plains, a half-bred son of
Colonel Bent, the Indian trader, was
also killed in a tight near Fort Harper.
The ablest leaders of the hostile In
dians are either killed or prisoners,
and it is said that the tribes are ready
to surrender, but fear summary treat
ment. Opinions differ widely among
the best-informed men from the fron
tier concerning the attack on Black
Kettle's camp. Many whose knowl
edge of the Indian situation cannot he
controverted doubt the hostility of
Black Kettle, and declare such a sur
prise attack as that made by Custar,
without giving time to withdraw the
women or children, or opportunity for
obtaining the prisoners there wore in
the camp, to be perfectly indefensible.
These persons are so old-fashioned in
their notions of warfare as to believe
that a camp of wandering Indians were
entitled to as much consideration as a
beleagered city about to be bombarded
by a hostile foe. Genera! Sheridan's
dispatches are on the whole encour
aging, and look to a speedy surrender
of hostile tribes.
Miss Judith iiussel, of New Bedford,
writes: I have been afflicted with se
vere prostrating cramps in my liiubs,
cold feet and ban Is, and a general dis
ordered system. While visiting some
friends in New York, who were using
Plantation Bitters, they prevailed up
on me to try them. I commenced
with a small wine-glass full after each
meal. Feeling better by degrees, in a
few days I was astonished to find the
coldness and cramps had entirely left
me, and 1 could sleep the night
through, which I had not done for
years. I feel like another being. My
appetite and strength have also great
ly improved by the use of Plantation
Bitters.
