THE BLU H DEED (OXSL 4SATED.
The Itaoifi Eedslalnre Sells the
Birtbrtttit of the People !
On Thursday last the House of Rep
resentatives at Harrisburg, ratified the
proposed X Vth Amendment to theCon
stitutionoftheUnited States. The State
Senate having previously ratified it,
the consent of Pennsylvania is now giv
en to the adoption of the Amendment.
This consent, however, is not irrevo
cable, provided three fourths of all the
States do not ratify before the meet
ing of another legislature adverse to
the action of the present one. It is
hardly probable that the requisite
three fourths will ever ratify; at least
it is impossible for them to do so be
fore the a-sembling of our next legisla
ture. Hence the people will have an
opportunity at the polls to rebuke the
representatives who have betrayed
their trust, by electing others who will
reverse the snap judgment obtained a
gainst the freemen of Pennsylvania by
the treachery of the legislature.
And. now. we come to make our ap
peal direct to the masses of the Repub
lican party. We do not come to ask
you, fellow citizens, to do any wrong
to the African, or the Chinaman, or the
Indian, or any man of any race under
heaven. We only ask that the right of
the people of the severed .States to control
and regulate suffrage/or themselves shall
not be taken awoy from them. This
right was reserved by the people to
themselves when they framed the gov
ernment. It has never been yielded up.
But now it is proposed, by this XVth
Amendment, that the people shall sur
render thai right and confer if upon the
Federal Congrtes. Nay, more. The
Radical majority in our State legisla
ture have assumed the authority to
vote away this right without consul
ting the wishes of the people in regard
to it. They have not only betrayed
the tru-t committed to them by their
constituents, but they have deceived
their own party friends whom they as
sured that they would stand by the
Chicago Platform of last year, which
pledged the Republican party to the
doctrine that in all the loyal states, the
suffrage question should be left to the con
trol of the people thereof. Hence the
Radical majority in the legislature are
guilty of a DOUBLE CRIME, of usur
ping a right that belongs to the people
and of defrauding their own political
oapportcr;.
We are sorry that we are call
ed upon to record the names of
MESSRS. STUTZMAH, LOXGENECKER
and\\ ELLER.theSenatorand Represen
tatives from this Senatorial and Repre
sentative district, among the Radical
majority which thus attempts to sell
the birthright of Pensylvania. Each
and every one of theao voted for the A
m end men t and against the proposi
tion to submit the question to a vote of
the people at the next general election.
Thus are they upon the record. They
despised and defied the poplar will.
Remonstrances against the adoption of
the Amendment, signed by thousands
of Republicans, many of them constit
tuents of the-e men, were read in their
hearing, but they laughed them to
scorn. They knew, too, that they could
never have been elected to the places
they fill, if they had dared to avow,
nay if they had not persistently and
positively denied, that they were in fa
vor of Negro Suffrage, but they cared
not for their pledges to the people.
The fiat of the Radical ring-leaders
at Washington had gone forth, and
these cringing, crawling, liek-spittle
slaves dared not to assert their inde
pendence and speak out the voice of
their own people. The leprosy of of
fice-getting had unmanned them, and
they were held in the Radical leash like
so many whipped dogs.
Let not the reader think us severe.
We have no terms of reprobation
as strong and stinging as should be
employed in denunciation of Represen
tatives who *ell their own constituents'
birth-right, and who violate their sol
emn pledges to the people that chose '
them to office. Their blood be upon
their own heads. They have dared the
vengeance of an outraged people and
they must not complain if they fall be
fore it. Mr. Lougenecker has been re- j
nominated. He must and icitt be defea
ted. And, now let the Radicals of the
district re-nominate Stut/.iuan and i
Weller, if they dare.
TIIE members of our State legislature
who voted for the XVth Amendment,
had better now pass bills appropriating
to themselves the real estate and per
sonal goods of their constituents. The
one theft would not be greater than the i
other.
——
A special telegram to Forney's Press
Hays:
President Grant, who has been suf- j
fering for a few days past from a severe
attack of headache, has entirely recov
ered, and will be able to-morrow to re
sume the duties of his office as usual.
attacks of headache are very
Apt to follow n liberal indulgence in
*ttun% drink.
REMEMBER that every Radical mem
ber of the legislature except one, voted
for the XVth Amendment forcing Ne
gro Suffrage upon the people of Penn
sylvania without their consent. Every
Democrat voted against it. Now the
issue is made up* It can't be dodged
any longer. It must be met. The
Democratic party goes into the cam
paign advocating the election of a leg
islature which will repeal the action of
the present one. The Radical party
asks the people to elect a legislature
which will sustain the treachery and
foul-dealing of the body which now
misrepresents the people of the State.
Let every man, especially every Dem
ocrat, lay this plain issue before his
neighbor and see that he joins the col
umn of REPEAL!
The fact is plain, in nearly every one
of the Southern States, that if the car
pet baggers be allowed to run their
machines without interference a little
while longer, they will eventually de
stroy each other. They are already
contending among themselves for the
spoils, and the negroes are beginning
to drop away from supporting them,
their real character having become tol
erably clear to Sambo's not over-vig
orous perceptions. The carpet-baggers
will undoubtedly come to the fate of
the Killkenny cats. Time will vindi
cate the people upon whom they have
so lavishly spit their venom.
THE appointment of Miss E. Ketcb
um, a Philadelphia Degress, to a clerk
ship in the Treasury Department at
Washington, has caused great excite
ment among the colored population of
the District of Columbia. As soon as
they heard the report they thronged
the treasury building in great numbers
and ail shades and sizes, many w'th
little picanninies In their arms j de
manding offices and bureaus, it w ill
never do for the radicals of Pennsylva
nia to give the negroes the right to
hold office, or they will insist on more
than their fair dure of the spoils of vic
tory. It is quite enough to let Sambo
vote.
A Radical cotemporary, says :
"Grant's election decided impartial
suffrage." It ought to, certainly. For
the con vention that nominated him
said in their resolutions: "The ques
tion of suffrage in all the loyal States
properly belongs to the people of those
States." When this was formally eorn
muuieated to Grant, he said in reply,
in his letter of acceptance, dated May
29, IBGS : "The proceedings of the con
vention were marked with wisdom,
moderation, and patriotism, and I be
lieve express the feelings of the great
mass of those who sustained the coun
try through its recent trials. I endorse
their resolutions* * * *
As an evidence of the spirit which
pervades the Radicals at Washington,
a recent telegram informs us that Sec
retary Bout well has notified fifty of the
white female clerks in his department
that on the first of the month their
services will be dispensed with. Co
temporaneous with this comes the an
nouncement that a negress has ju.-t
been appointed to a Treasury clerk
ship. This is one of tlie beauties of the
projiosed Fifteenth amendment—white
women discharged and their places
filled with negresses, live la Radical
ism !
Gov. BAKER, of Indiana, on Mon
day, issued a proclamation convening
the legislature of that State, in special
session on the Bth of April. The elec
tion for members who resigned to pre
vent the perpetration of the negro suf
frage fraud, took place on Tuesday of
hist week, an i all those who resigned
were re-elected by the people, as a to
ken of approval of their course taken
in the Legislature.
G EN. STONEAIAN has just removed
the Governor of Virginia, and assumed
the duties of that office himself. Can
such things lie done under a Republi
can form of government? Are we not
living under the rule of a despot, rath
er than under the government estab
lished by the fathers of the Republic?
"Let us have peace." The empire
means peace.
THE promotion of brothers-in-law is
by no meansconfined to General Grant.
John Sc-dt imitates his laudable exam
ple ".vommending hi< brother-in
law, Eyster, of Chambersburg, for Di
rector of the Mint. This is much bet
ter than drafting operations during the
war, though these are said to have paid
quite handsomely.
THERE is one shrewd member of the
Grant family. It is the mother of Ulys
ses S. Grant, -she steadily refuses to go
near Washington. She has no idea of
being violently shoved into a consul
ship or a eolleetorship or a postoffice.
THE administration of President
Grant has been in operation for nearly
a month, and as yet there is no indica
tion of any business being transacted
save that which belongs to the distri
bution of official patronage.
THE President has ordered the dis
charge of 730 soldiers employed at the
arsenals in vario JS parts of the country.

THE M. E. CONFERENCE
is now in session in this city. A great
interest is manifest, and much business
lias been transacted. Bishop Simpson
presides. We understand that adivis
j ion of the conference is proposed, as the
body has become unwieldy, and large
bodies move too slow these progressive
days. It is announced that the ques
tion of Lay Representation is to be
submitted to the church, and lhat male
and female members are permitted to
vote on it. Ifitisnot carried by an
overwhelming majority, your corres
pondent is no prophet. Ministerial
parity and lay representation are the
only grounds of permanent evangelic
prosperity in this democratic country,
and we are glad to see our Methodist
friends taking this high ground.
JOHN B. GOUGH.
We heard Gough on Monday night
on "Circumstances." The Academy of
Music was packed, and as hundreds
could not gain admittance, he is an
nounced again for May. We will not
venture a critique on a man who can
pack the Academy with five thousand
people and hold them two full hours.
He has vast elocutionary powers, as al
'so of description. As au actor in com
edy or pantomime he could not be ex
celled. The subject matter of his lec
ture was very light and common place:
and if you would take out about eigh
ty anecdotes and as many funny things
lie saw and heard, and the awfuilest
gyrations, genuflections and lofty tum
bling you ever saw on earth, there
would be the lit*',e end of nothing left.
we must confess that who or what
ever can that immense place,
whether man or monkey, must be de
cidedly great somewhere. We hope
our shadow has increased about a pound
from the good roaring laughs we had
bnyhow. I7re le Gough !
I ENGLISH SPARROWS.
The city has imported a thousand of
these little birds, and the carpenters
are bnsy getting houses in order for
them. They are a necessity to keep
down worms, bugs, £e., and it is to
be hoped that they can be successfully
cultivated. When will we learn to
prize birds? They are a public bless
ing, and that man who shoots a black
bird because it takes a dozen grains of
corn, saves about two thousand worms
to eat his crops and a bagful of bugs to
prey on his garden. Killing birds to
save grain is only another way of put
ting the old adage: Save at the spieket
and let it run at the bung hole. A
special legislative enactment against
this folly—we almost said barbarism—
of -hooting anj* kind of birds, would
be not only humane but economical.
EXACTLY
as 1 told you about Velocipedes—that
they would become a nuisance and get
c force after them. They are ventur
ing out, and on Broad you can -ee all
kinds of grotesque shines. At the
Rinks, for a quarter, you can have your
satis jam of that kind of thing. But my
breakfast paper says that the Chief of
Police is out after velocipedists and
tells his force to keep a particular eye
on tbem and wheelbarrows. Now, as
these bycycle propellers are not going
to bump over cobble stones and get
jammed in among drays and mule wag
ons. we shall see some rare scenes be
tween theiu and the police. Before
you get them in Bedford it would be
well to have the experience of John X.
Schmidt a- given in the Sunday Dis
fxilch. He went to the Rink to prac
tice, was thrown off, run over general
ly and and gives us the result:

THE NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY, whose prospectus is else
where published, presents, in addition
to the ordinary features of Life Insur
ance, a plan called "the income-pro
ducing plan," which unites the securi
ty of Life Insurance to the present val
ue of an aunuity. This plan is entire
ly new, and originates with this Com
pany. It embraces two ideas ; An or
dinary Life Insurance, with limited
premiums and a life annuity com
mencing at the end of ten or twenty
years, and paying to the persou insured
one-tenth of the amount of the policy
yearly till the end of his life. Thus, a
man having a policy of a thousand dol
lars for ten years, and paying $123 a
year, will receive SIOO income as long
as he lives ; and so, at this rate, with
any amount he uiay choose to invest.
Thus, by a little economy in the early
years of life, the merchant, the mechan
ic, or the business man can secure for
himself in his later years, when the
time comes for rest, peace and quiet,
an income that no business disturbance
can destroy, and that will last as long
as he lives.
PACKARD'S MONTHLY, for April, is
before us. This number is replete with
good things. In fact, each succeeding

lisher, Broadway, New York.

A recent dispatch from St. George,
Southern Utah, says there is no doubt
Xavajoes have taken possession of the

in a by-road a few minutes afterwards,
first knocking her insensible with a
hammer, and the third one he met
coming through a field—and all be

A mysterious murder has taken place
in Philadelphia. Wednesday evening
of last week the body of Joseph W.
Smith, janitor of Girard Hall, was
found in the building, tied bauds and
feet and a pistol bullet In the head. So
far there is no clue to the murderer,
and the more the investigation is pur
sued the deeper the mystery becomes.
Letters from merchants of Matanzas,
Cuba, state that the Spanish General

cers and eight hundred men. he forced
his way through the defile and reached
Puerto Principe. He is now in the
very heart of the region devoted to the
Cuban cause but it is said he cannot re

will be as disastrous as the advance.
A commission has arrived at Havana
