THE SNAP J EDO ME XT.
Notwithstanding the solemn assev
erations of the radical leaders, and in
spite of the deliberate promise con
tained in the Chicago Platform, that
no change in the rule of suffrage in the
"loyal States," should be made except
by the people of those States them
selves, these leaders are now engaged
in rushing through the legislatures in
which their party is in a majority, the
proposed XVth A mend men t to the Con
stitution of the United States, which not
only changes the rule of suffrage so as to
admit the negro to itsexercise, but takes
away forever from the people the right
and the power to regulate the suffrage
question for themselves. That right
ami that potcer were reserved to the peo
ple at, the formation of the government
and their surrender was never dreamed of
until now. This XVth Amendment is
not objected to so much because it ex
tends the elective franchise to a new
class of voters, as because it takes from
the people and vests In the federal gov
ernment all authority over the matter
of suffrage. Against this good men of
all parties unite in solemn and emphat
ic protest. During the past two weeks
remonstrances signed by fifty thousand
of the freemen of Pennsylvania, at
least one half of them Republicans,,
praying that this Amendment may
not be ratified by our state legislature,
have been presented to that body.
Proud, free Pennsylvania scorns the
base proposition made to her by cor
rupt and reckless politicians, to sell her
precious birtli-right for the bitter mess
of pottage which GRANT, in turn, may
give, in the shape of offices, to a few of
her recreant children. She will not
entertain the thought of so dastard a
surrender. Rut her legislature is rot
ten to the core. Already one branch,
the Senate, has yielded to the propo- j
sition of Congress and the edict of the
military President. The XVth A
mondment has passed the Senate, by
a strict party vote, all the Republican
Senators voting for its ratification, and
all the Democratic Senators voting for j
its rejection. Even our own STUTZ
MAN was whipped into the traces and j
voted to force Negro Suffrage upon
the people of this Senatorial district
and to rob his native State of her God
given right to control and regulate the
matter of suffrage within her own bor
der-. The House will also ratify the
Amendment, art! Messrs. LONGEX
EI KF.U and WELLER will vote for it,
although they are well aware that three
fuurthsof their constituents are bitterly
and unalterably hostile to its adoption.
Thus do the Radical leaders and legis
lators deceive and defraud their own
party. Thus do they take SXAI*
J I DGMENT against the people upon
a question which they assured us the j
people alone should decide. We ask
the Republicans of Bedford county,
how can they sustain their representa
tives in the legislature in this betrayal
of the masses of their own party ?
HEXOREDS of the best men of the
Republican party in this county, as
well as elsewhere throughout the State,
have signed remonstrances against the
ratification of the proposed XVth A
mendment. In this thej* most
decidedly from the leaders of their par- |
ty, and are in perfect accord with the
Democrats. Grant recommends the
adoption of the Amendment; so does
Geary, and the radicals of the Pennsyl I
vania legislature all vote accordingly, j
The Anti-Negro Suffrage Republicans,
therefore, car. go nowhere else than to
the Democratic ranks. The distinction
of "White Republican" and "Black
Republican" is now being rapidly
made by and among Republicans
themselves. The former must either
give up their principles or go with the
Democrats. We extend to them a cor
dial invitation to unite with us in the
great st ruggle for the rights of the peo
ple which i- about to come. That
there i- no prejudice among Democrats !
against such Republicans is proved by
the fact that they are recognized and
treated as brothers of the same faith.

THE .: T'AIII XF.T.
The First Cabinet of Grant, after a
brief existence of less than one week,
has gone to pieties. The new appoint
; nieuts,asannounced by telegraph from
| Washington, are as follows: Ex-Gov
; eruor Hamilton Fish, of New York,
•Ai Secretary of State; ex-Governor
! GeorgeS. Boutwell, of Massachusetts,
as Secretary of tin 4 Treasury, (in lieu of
| A. T. Stewart declined,) and General
Rawlins, late chief of General Grant's
I staff, aa Secretary of War. Mr. E. B.
Wash bur ne, of Illinois, named and
confirmed as Secretary of State, and
who, it was understood, had excepted
the position only temporarily, having
withdrawn, was confirmed to be Uni
ted States minister to France, in place
of General Dix, whose resignation liad
been received previously and accepted.
General Scofield, who has been super
seded by General Rawlins, it will be
'remembered held over from the pre
vious administration, and remained in
the War Office temporarily, at Gener
al Grant's instance.
THE ,VK COXOKESS.
In the Senate of the Forty-first Con
gress there are nine Democrats, forty- j
five Republicans, ten carpet-baggers,
and two scalawags. Eight seats, be
longing to Virginia, Georgia, MisMssip- i
pi and Texas, are unfilled. In the
House there are seventy-one Demo
crats, one hundred and twenty-four
Republicans, seven carpet-baggers, and
three scalawags. Connecticut, New
Hampshire and Georgia are without
representation at present, but each j
state will elect representatives the j
second week in April. The other un
represented states are Virginia, Mis- j
sissippi, Alabama and Texas. The
two-thirds majority which the Radicals
had in the last House is wiped out, j
and unless the old tactics of expelling
Democrats be resorted to, the present
Congress will be unable to pas:, any j
measure over a veto.
A B .I> INDICATION.
From all quarters we hear of great
n urubers of the industrious citizens of
Pennsylvania preparing to migrate to
the West and South. This is especial
ly the case in the central part of the
State, whilst in the leading agricultu
ral counties the transfers of real estate,
and the public sales of farm and stock
and other personal property are more
numerous than ever before. This is
not a healthy sign by any means. It
denotes a restless discontent entirely
foreign to the staid an 1 frugal habits of
Peunsylvanians.
There must l>e cause for all this.
These citizens must have a hope of im
proving their condition, or of escaping
present burthens, or perhaps both. It
is evident they are not contented with
their present lot. If not, what is
wrong, and who is to blame? Our
soil is of the best quality, and there is
an abundance of land yet to Le
brought under cultivation. A markit
yielding the highest prices for all the
products of the farm and the diary is
always at hand, so that, if blest
ed with equal laws, it is difficult
to imagine how our farmers can ex
pect to improve their condition else
where. .So of other industrial inter
ests. The man of industry, no matte r
what may be his particular occupation,
ought to do as well in Pennsylvania as
in any other State.
Then why so much complaint, and
why so much evidence of discontent?
Let our law makers answer, and ap
ply the remedy. They can do it; hut
wil: they? Alas we fear not. The
splendid dreams of the aristocrats cf
ha If a century ago promise to he real
ized, and the "Government is to take
care of the rich, in order that tie
rich may take care of the poor."
So far as we have been able to learn,
good tickets have been formed for the
local offices in the several districts of
this county. We trust that, the De
mocracy will give them their hearty and
undivided support. Let no man falttr
in this hour of peril, when our enemas
are centralizing power apd denying tie
PEOPLE the RIG HT to vote on the most im
portant question that has ever been before
the country. S'tand by yoiu• guns !
THE TENERE-OF-OFFICK ACT.—The
repeal of this infamous act passed the
House a few day- ago. and tame up in
the Senate on the 10th, where, aftir
prolonged discussion, it was referred to
a special committee of eight. The op
ponents of a repeal think they have
gained by this movement. The mon
grel ists not willing to trust Grant with
any more power than they allowed
Johnson to exercise, unless sure of
their power to manage him.
SAYS Wendell Philips, "if we were
in the Senate we would confirm no
man for any office from any Southern
State," etc.; to which Grant gracefully
responds by sending in the name of
the notorious Confederate leader, Gen
eral Long-street, to bo Surveyor of Cus
toms at New Orleans.
THE New York Herald thinks there
will lie war between Grant and tln.-
lladicals of the Senate. Should they
d-stroy each uther the country would
be "all the better fur it."

FAREWELL ADDRESS OF ANDREW
JOIIXSOX.
We publish on our first page, this
week, the farewell address of Andrew
Johnson to the people of the United
States. It is the cap-sheaf to what the
retiring Presidest has done within the
last four years in the advocacy of con
stitutional liberty. It is an honest,
frank and truthful exposition of his
mearsures and purposes as President,
and administers a terrible rebuke to
his enemies and slanderers.
MASSACHUSETTS has two members
of the Cabinet, and her two .Senators
are at the head of important Commit
tees of the Senate. The twelve Sena
tors from New England have Chair
men for eight of the principal Commit
tees, whilst Pennsylvania, with a pop
ulation equal to all of New England,
can afford but one. Nothing like laz
ing of the Yankee nation, particular
ly of Boston.
TllECinci 11 nati Enquirer, says: "I.et
us lmve peace.' One of the first acts of
President Grant was to order General
Sheridan to New Orleans, among a
people that he oppressed, and who con- ,
sequently hate him. The President
could have committed 110 greater out
rage on their feelings, and, of course. '
cannot but secure their ill-will instead ,
of their kind regards. 'Let us have
peace' is to be treated like the suffrage
plank of the Chicago platform—as
good enough before the election, but
worthless after.
Ex-Gov. Brownlow comes to Wash
ington and Ex-President Johnson goes
back to Tennessee. What a strange
thing it would be, if, before the end of
President Grant's Administration,
Johnson should come back to Wash
ington to take his seat in the U. S.
Senate, by the side of Brownlow.—
Stranger things have happened.
SAYS a New York letter of Monday :
The Democrats here feel quite satisfied
at the turn things have taken, and al
ready their few stray sheep, who, in
November last, voted for Grant out of
"patri tism," are disgusted with their
man, and ready once more to enter the
good old fashioned Democratic fold.
The rush of office-beggars at Wash
ington is unprecedented. Never was
there such a crowd before, it takes in
all, from the anxious seekers after Mis
sions, Consulships, down to boot
blacks to cabinet officers.

I. O. O. P.
It may interest some of your readers
to know that immense preparations are
being made by the I. O. O. F. for the
! Semi-Centennial Anniversary in April
next. It is estimated that 40,000, (that's
large, but so "/Acy" say) in full regalia,
will be in procession. "May we be
there to stye." But when it comes off,
we hope to give you an extended ac
count. Now we imagine Bedford is
putting herself in order to attend, in
white gloves, while aprons and high
beavers, and shining yokes, headed by
: our friend I>r. 11., the Grand Archon,
(Is that the word?) and keeping step
with IO.IMMJ ; We can say to the mem
bers there that, theycan come with the
full expectation of somethinggrand,and
we guarantee them entire realization.
At least, we, who are outside, can hear
the note of preparation and notice an
activity commensurate with all that is
proposed. We believe the Order to
be in the advance in membership of
any other beneficial Society in this
country, and it deserves all the pros
perity that has attended it. The Semi-
Centennial will give it another shove
in the rightdirection. Mayitsshadow ,
like its virtues, increase.
FAIRMOVXT PA RK.
We write of the Park, because to-day
(Mar. 9th) we feel like the fever for
country glimpses hao us. It is a grand
day, warm, mellow and shiny, and
every body is out on promenade. We
have had a fast drive througli Fair
mount, and know something of its
"magnificent distances," and enjoyed
scenes such as we used to amid the
"everlasting hills" and wild grandure
of your county. You can drive in
this Park a distance the same as from
Bedford to Schellsburg. The scenery ,
is varied and exceedingly romantic. —
Along the Wissahiekon, when Sum
mer is in full robe, you will see, not
only "Lovers' Retreats" in abundance,
but also weird nooks nestling under j
bending pines, and moss grown cov- j
erts where the warm sun rays coquette |
with the leaves of the trees, and a nice
little handful of air toys with the wav
ing grass. There is no need of scoop
ing our little pools and basins for lakes,
as they do in the Central Park, N. Y., ,
or constructing artificial water-brooks,
or mending up with Art what Nature
has neglected to do. It is just as you
want it, not a flower garden or "posy j
bed," but a grand, rugged, origiual
piece of old nature where you may get
rid of "pent up Utiea," and breathe
full breakers of fresh air, and get great
thoughts and feel a better spirit.
What a blessing such a place is to
tired bodies, and pained eyes, and j
over-worked minds 1 Woods, waters
and rocks always carry in them an in
spiration and power; and that city
which has the most loop holes like i
these enjoys the highest spiritual and
physical superiority. Philadelphia is |
dotted all over with cosy little parks j
where you can rest from the heat and j
bustle of the streets, and where little
floj nllii t!ic 3l|Ulirbl.'j 1
and deer or drive the hoop over the ;
shaded walks; but in Fairniount you ;
can enjoy a broader sweep with a team
at any pace over the gravelled roads,
under the great old pines and row i
along the banks of the river with its
graceful curves and solemn steps, and
come back from this feast of Nature, I
wiser, better and happier. Truly it was 1
a dictate of pure humanity to secure j
this ground from the inroads of brick, j
mortar and marble, and hedge it for
the comfort and health of the iuhahi- i
tants.

When Mercury went down last week,
Rink balls went up, and a grand time
the skaters had. Rut up goes the
1 quicksilver again, and down go the
balls. And so we may see how the
world wags.
The death warrant of Twitched has
j been signed by the Governor. It was
reported that he had made a confess

We were at the opening of Homer's
dry good establishment on Chestnut
last week. The building is a marble
i front, five stories high and one of the
most elegant in the city. There was
a continuous crowd pouring in and
out during the entire day, and the
scene and array, with the fashion and
I costly attire of the lady visitors, was
such as is seldom witnessed.
The Belmont Grammar School on
i list near Myrtle, was opened with ap
propriate and interesting ceremonies
to day, consisting of addresses, recita
tions, dialogues, etc. interspersed with
vocal and instrumental music. The
building is four stories high, of gray
st< ne, massive in structure, and sur
rounded with a large campus. This
part of the city contains some of the
most elegant private edifices to be
found, and is rapidly tilling up.
We are in the reign of mud. Cross

Mud all over. Boot blacks are in glee :
Hurrah for mud! Theyaro coining the

stick, in muddy boots, is after the
street cleaners who have stuck in the
mud.
The Commercial Exchange Associ
ation dedicated their new hall, the

I want to rouse each sleepy head,
Who stand upon the brink,
Where yawning gulfs disclose the dead,
Who might, but did not, think.
1 want to warn the living ones
Who blindly grope along.
Ye fathers, daughters, mothers, sens,
What perils round you throng '
Look out, my reader, are you free.
Or do you wear the mark >
Most ail are blind and cannot see,
Yea. groping in the dark
Catarrh, a detaon in the head,
Consumption is its son ;
Kills hosts, ysa, countless millions, dead,
Perhaps yi u may be one.
That hacking, hawking, spitting, shows,
Catarrh effects your head.
Matter and slime in throat or nose,
Runs down your throat instead
Your lungs and liver soon will show,
Consumption has its birth ;
Catarrh, its sire, will feed it too,
'Till you return to earth.
If colds affect your head and throat,
Altaian,ATOß buy ;
Now don't forget what I hare wrote,
Or think this subject dry.
WOLCOTT'S ANNIUILATOB cures
Catarrh —the demon flies ;
It saves tho /((;*<, gOv>d health insures,
And Catarrh quickly dies.
I want to gratify my frimds,
Who wish to understand
About PAI.N PAINT, its use, its ends,
And why its great demand.
I want to showyoa. plain as day,
hy PAIN PAIN? stops all pain,
That you may uovnr have to say
'Til not try paint again."
PAIN PAINT will ctol but never stain ;
Pumps inflammation out :
'Tis harmless on the breast or brain,
A trial stops all doubt.
When inflammation leaves the frame.
All pain will cease at ouce ;
Remove the oauso, 'tis ail the same ;
None doubt? unless a dunce.
The pons will one and drink PAIN PAINT "
Absorbents fill with ease ;
Restores tho woak, the sick, the faint,
The greatest skeptic please
Evaporation oools the place
As inflammation flies;
Hot blood at the absorbent's base
Makes PAINT in vapor rise.
Tis thus PAIN PAINT removes alt doubt,
Removes the very cause
By pumping inflammation out ;
Ou this we rest our cause.
