In keeping with the purpose of the radical party to fetter the peoplo and concentrate power in. the hands of the tricksters who now control public af fairs, a llsgistry TA# was passed by the laic legislature, which requires the Assessors of the several election dis tricts, on the lirst Monday iu June, to revise the list of taxables furnished them by the commissioners, and then to visit every dwelling-house in the district to make further assessments. Naturalized citizens who have not been for five couseeutivc years voters in the district, are required to show their pa pers to the Assessor, and in default of so doing, their names will be omitted from tho list of voters. Persons who have received their first papers and in tend to obtain their full papers before the election, must also make claim to the Assessor of their intention to be come citizens. In towns where the houses are uot numbered, the name of the street, alley, or court in which the persons assessed resides, must be stated by the Assessor; when he is not a house keeper, his occupation, place of board ing and with whom, and if working for another, the name of his employer, must he given. Upon the completion of the list, the Assessor shall return it to the commissioners, who shall cause duplicate copies to he made which shall he placed In the hands of the Assessor, who shall, prior to the first of August, put one copy thereof on tho door of the election house, and ratain the other in his pos session for the inspection of such j>er sons as may desire to examine it. He shall add to his list the names of such as shall make claim to him of their right to vote, by personal application, requiring such claimants to make the same proof as those previously assessed, hut no assessments shall be made after the tenth day preceding the second Tuesday in October. The Assessor shall then, on the Monday following the closing of the assessments, return his list of additional assessments to the commissioners, who shall add the names on the additional list to those previously returned, and make out a copy of the entire list and furnisli it to the election board of the district, before si.* o'clock, a. m., of the second Tues day of October. The Secretary of tho Commonwealth is to have prepared and printed,at the expense of the prop er county, the necessary blanks to carry out the provisions of this act. There are other very important pro visions of this Registry Law, to which we will refer iu future. We shall publish the act, except that part of it which relates exclusively to tho city of Philadelphia, in our next. For the present we content us wit h merely call ing attention to the expensive and irksome machinery of the act. It is oppressive to the voter, especially to the naturalized citizen, and it makes him pay dearly for the oppression. The blanks to carry out the act, will, alone, cost about $760. The extra ex penses of making the assessments and furnishing lists to the election boards will not average less than $5O per dis trict, which will be $l,BOO for this coun ty. Here, then, is an additional ex pense of TWO THOUSAND DOL LARS imposed upon the people of Bedford county, in order to enable the* radical leaders to hamper and oppress them. The cost of this Registry Law, to the state at large, will not he less than $200,000! This is one of the luxuries people obtain by voting the radical ticket. They can digest it at their leisure. t\icri.v. There is a great ado in the Radical journals about the rights of roan. That is, the rights of the black man. Under the General principle of ex tension of suffrage these hypocritical sheets cloak their base purpose of de stroying altogether the power and val ue of the elective franchise. The XVth Amendment proposes that the people shall give up the right to control and regulate the exercise of the right of suffrage and permit Con gress hereafter to control and regulate it for tfeem. Tins right was reserved by the people to themselves when the federal governroent was formed. Now here is one of "the rights of man" a bout to la; taken from the people. It is true the elective franchise is to be extended to a race which has not hith erto enjoyed it, but it" is .not the elec tive franchise hertofore possessed by the white voters of the United States. It is to be something similar to the U niversa! suffrage in vogue in France, where everybody votes, but where the votes are given according to the impe rial pleasure of Nepbleon 111. Congress, being the supreme power in this coun try, is substituted as the Napoleonic despot under this XVth A mend meut. White and black are to vote, hut their ballots are to be cast according to the dictation of the "rings" which rule in the Congressional lobby. Is this what the Africans expect ? Is this the great right that is to be con ferred upon them ? Do they ask for bread, and are they to be given this stone V If the African is intelligent e uough to vote, he has sense enough to see that the XVth Amendment is de signed to take from the people a right which they have possessed since the a doption of the Constitution, and, there fore, that it makes him, as well as the white man, a voter merely iu name but not in reality, it is a fraud upon both races. It is a delusion anil a snare. It isa cunning device by which, under pretence of liberalizing popular institutions, power is to be wrested from the people aiul vested in Congress, with a view to federal centralization and the establishment of a congressional oligarchy. The ' rights of man!" Exactly. That is precisely what we contend for, when we resist the adoption of the XVth Amendment. That Amendment is intended to swindle the jieople out of one of their dearest rights, by depri ving them of the control of the elec tive franchise, and, therefore, confers no right, but works a flagrant and out rageous wrong. A I.ITTI.E HISTORY. Some of the radical journals assert that prior to the adoption of the pre sent State Constitution, persons of the African race exercised the right of suf frage in Pennsylvania. They lay great stress upon the fact that in Penn's charter and in the Constitution of 1790, every "/reewaa" was made an elector. They carefully avoid stating that ne groes were slaves in Pennsylvania from the time of their introduction in to the state until the year 1780. They were slaves when theDeelaration oflude pendence was adopted and remained so for four yeans afterward, when they were liberated by what is known as the E mancipation Act. Iu au act passed in 1726, negroes were denominated "an idle and slothful people," and magis trates were directed to"bind out free ne groes for laziness or vagrancy." The penalty of reduction to slavery was ad ded, in the same act, to the crime of a negro intermarrying with a white per son. Hence, as negroes were slaves until 1780, and especially under the ban of the Jaw, it follows that they could not have been voters prior to that date. Bonn's charter, therefore, did not enfranchise them, for under it and its amendments they were held in slavery. As to the meaning of the word "free man" in the Constitution of 17i>0, we have the unanimous decision of the .Su preme Court, in an opinion delivered by the greatest jurist that ever sat upon the bench of Pennsylvania, John Ban nister Gibson. In 6 Watts, page 553, is reported the case of Hobbs against Fogg, in which a negro of Luzerneeoun ty brought suit against an election b'oaid for refusing hi 9 vote. The case was carried to the Supreme Court, which unanimously decided that the word "freeman" in the Constitution of 1790, did not apply to negroes or persons of color. We refer to these historical facts merely to prove the falsehood of the Radical newspapers in asserting that formerly Africans were legal voters in Pennsylvania. They never were at anytime. Doubtless in some instan ces, their votes were received in defi ance of law, just as the votes of white persons are occasionally taken now-a days. But under the Constitution and the laws they never were, at any peri od in the history of the State, legal vo ters. And this effectually disposes of the clap-trap and fustian of certain radical prints, about returning to the principles of our forefathers." That would be to return to slavery, so far as the African is concerned. Is that the next step our Radical reformers pro pose to take ? THE rule adopted by the Forty-first Congress, for the tilling of the various official appointments, was that where there was a Republican member of Congress, he was to have complete con trol of the appointments in his own district. Where there were Democrat ic congressmen the officers were to be appointed by the United States Sena tors.—lnquirer. Under this rule John Cessna has control of all the post ofiices in his dis trict, yet that truthful individual says that be could not control the appoint ment for Bedford, and that Simon Cameron took it out of Ins hands. "A poor excuse is better than none," WE see by our exchanges that there is an immense amount of grumbling at Uie Congressional appointments. Congressmen generally seem to have succeeded in defying the wishes of their constituents. They do not say whether the offices have been sold at auction, traded off or assigned by lot.— Inquirer. No allusion, we hope, to "our" Con gressman. llcdosen't sell, or trade, or assign by lot; he only peddles and parcels out. The cause of the recruiting of tho army, just now found necessary, is stated to fee that the army is not so large as it was thought to be. Its I personhel is below the minimum. W%t tU€ ttefcfmrii* IMg PItILADKLPIIIA. | Correspondence of the Bedford Oaiette. | PHIL'A., April I*9, 1869. THE ODD FELLOWS' PARADE, on tho 26th inst., was a grand affair. The day was all any one could desire ; clear arid a pleasant air. We went on Broad at 12 m., where the line formed, and saw the whole procession, march and counter-march. To say the sight was grand and imposing would convey a poor idea of this civic demonstration. For three miles on Broad there was a surging mass of humanity packing that great thoroughfare, ami crowding the pave and street so densely as some times to impede the march. Every available foot, where you could gain a good view, was occupied long before the line formed. Windows, balconies, roofs, evreythiug, were crowded. Flags and bunting were flung from almost every dwelling ; and the city all over partook of the pride and excitement of the day. Such a sight is not often beheld. We have seen no estimate of the number in line, hut a friend at my side timed them by the minute as averaging one hundred and twenty-five, and the whole column was two hours in pass ing. This, however, does not include the whole number in the city ; for ten thousand at least did not march in pro cession. We counted fifty-two bands besides half as many drum corps. The hantiers and flags were rich anil ele gant, and taken altogether the dem onstration eclipsed any civic parade ever seen iu this city. We enjoyed a short ride in the procession with our friend Dr. liiekok, of your {dace, who is one of the Grand Officers. We are sorry our brief space prevents a more extended account. Other exercises con nected with this Anniversary were e qually interesting. The Odd Fellows (what a pity they have such an out landish name, (may well be proud of their noble order and deserve all the" success they have thus far achieved. KNIGHTS TEMPI.ARS. St. John's Commandery, No. 4, K. T., propose celebrating the Semi-cen tennial anniversary of the Commandery on the loth of June next. Extensive preparations are being made for that event,andalargeattendanceof Knights from other cities is expected. In addition to the parade, a recep tion will he held in the Academy of Music in the evening. A splendid af fair is anticipated. In this connection wo might state that the Masonic Lodges in this State during the past year initiated 3700 new niembejs, and that the whole number within the jur isdiction of the Grand Ixxlge of Pa. is 29,840. And also, that the cost on the new temple on Broad street up to the present time has been about $300,000. The foundation is not yet complete, aud accordingly it will require about eight years and probably two and a half million dollars. When that parade and dedication comes off, may we all be t here to see ! LUTHER'S MONUMENT. We were shown, the other evening, by the Rev. I)r. Krauth, a large med al, just sent over, commemorative of the dedication of tho groat monument to Luther at Worms. It is known that this monument is one of the grandest works of art in Europe or the world. The obverse of the medal contains a true picture of this monument, which caunot be described in a short article ; and the reverse, the date and place, enclosing in their original language the memorable words of the great Re former, before the Diet, "Here I Stand," Ac. This medal marks the greatest epoch since the days of the Apostles, aud, with the recent Jubilee medal issued by the Pa. Ministerium, will be held as lasting memorials by Protestantism. DRINKING FOUNTAINS. We are progressing not only in es thetics, art, invention, Ac., but also in thodepartmentofthe humane; and com bining the utile cum dulce. Drinking fountains are to he an institution. We saw the new one on Waluut, opposite Seventh, the other day. It is construct ed so that you can drink from the top by means of an easy arrangement; anil the basin below is designed for horses, cattle and dogs. A few spontaneous fountains of soda water, on a sweltering day, would be a further improvement, we opine. OUR TALL NEIGHBOR, Judge Kelley, has returned from Washington, and again ensconced him self at home. Since his arrival we no tice a continual stream of male visitors pouring in upon him. Wait till the women get a vote, and then we will all want to be Congressmen so we can number them among our disinterested callers. Such is the misery of political greatness. Our paper is full, and we are off to the Grand Concert of the Mendelssohn Musical Society to-night. We have had a warm, gentle rain, and Nature is gorgeous. As ever, LINDEN. (Fur the Guxettc.) NVOODHKRKY, PA. ) April 27th, 1869. j EDITORS GAZETTE:— Dear Sirs:— Permit me to use a small portion of your columns, to inform your readers of a most enjoyable affair which took place here yesterday. I refer to the celebration of the semi-centennial anni versary of Odd Fellowship. At an early hour the appearance of the streets gave evidence that something unusual was about to take place. By ten o'- clock the village was quite full of stran gers and others, dressed in hojliday attire, and looking as pleasant as a May morning. At eleven o'clock the procession was formed at the Odd Fel lows' llall. It consisted of Cove, Roaring Spring and part of AHaquippa Lodges of Odd Fellows, and was head ed by the Pattonsvllie CorijPt Band.— After the procession was concluded a very able address, suitable for the occasion, was delivered by Rev. J. Pattou Moore of Alliquippa Lodge, Ilopewell, Pa. He was followed by Revs. Akers, Leeky, Wilkinson and Hartman, with some very pleasant re marks by Past Grand J. E. Noble, who gave a short history of the origin and successor the Order in America. The whole affair passed off very pleasantly and every one appeared to be very much pleased with the success of the celebration. The splendid regalia, jewels of the officers and banner attrac ted a great deal of attention along t In line of march. We understand that the artist, Mr. S. B. Fluck, secured a very fine nega tive of the procession from which he will furnish photographs for all who want them. Hoping that the Order may ever flourish, as it apparently has here. I am, Yours Truly "Ouit OWN."—The second number of this new candidate for public favor is belore us.

Go when and where you will—along the wharfs and piers, and at the depots—you will see great piles of these Bitters await ing shipment and conveyance to every nook and corner of the country, and to the hundreds of foreign ports. They are very popular among all classes of people, and are conceded to ho just the thing for this climate. No Bitters have yet been introduced which have become so deservedly popular and worthy of patronage, to all who require a tonic and stimulant. They arc prepar ed with pure .St. Croix Rum, Calisaya and Cascarilla Bark, and all the world knows full well what beneficial re sults accrue from these combinations. MAGNOLIA WATER.—Superior to the best imported German Cologne, and sold at half the price. A man's first concern is toilo well in tho world. The second is to protect himself against want. Business enter prise will do the first; economy will sometimes result in the second. But there are contingencies in life which no thrift nor sagacity can avoid.— Death may come, or pecuniary disaster, or National trouble, in which the most carefully prepared plans will be wreck ed, and the proudest fortunes swept a way. Thus, ever-present danger makes an ever-present duty, which is this: To protect our lives by an in surance policy which will give us an income while living, and a legacy to those we leave behind us. The Na tional Life 1 nsuranceCompany, charter ed by a special aet of Congress, and managed by men of National reputa tion for sagacity anil prudence, propo ses to insure lives at the lowest pos sible rate, and on the most liberal principles, its advertisement will be found in another column, and we ad vise our readers to give it a careful study. THE SARSAPARILLA DIGGERS OP YUCATAN.—This singular set of people are descended from the ancient Aztecs of Southern Mexico, and still retain some of the peculiarities which Ste phens and Prescott gave of their anees stors. Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., employ a small army of them in digging Sar saparilla root. Provided with narrow spades, a coil of rope, and a bag of wa ter, they are ready for the forest where the wild banana furnishes them with food, and thick leaved trees their only shelter. Few of those who find them selves rejuvenated by this product, know how much they are indebted to these humble laborers, who dig health for thousands of Doctor Ayer's patrons, white they sometimes lose their own. —lioston Commercial. BRIEF NEWS ITEMS. The interference of the United States Courts in Kentuckey in the case of John Conkey, a negro, convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung, ex cites considerable surprise in that State. A reprieve has been granted him by the Governor for thirty days, at the expi ration of which period no further clem ency will be granted. Dr. Blauck, one of the physi cians imprisoned on a charge of complicity in the death of the girl El len Corlock, was found in Hudson county (N. J.) jail the other Morning with his throat cut and several wounds upon his wrist and stomach, none of which, wen: of a mortal nature. The Spanish volunteers at Havana continue to exhibit inveterate bitter ness towards prisoners, at the expense of dignity, decency anil discipline.— Notwithstanding this, the revolution progresses and is gaining strength, es pecially in the Eastern Department. The Ohio Legislature has authorized Cincinnati to use ten millions of dol lars for the purpose of building a short line railroad through Kentucky to connect with the Honthern system ol railroads. It has been decided by the Attorney General of the United States that Col lectors of Customs are entitled, since July, 1880, to retain $2,000 a year out of moneys received from importers for storage of goods in private bonded warehouses. The western frontier of Kansas and the northern borders of Texas, it is expected, will be the theatres of more bloody Indian tragedies as soon as the grass is green anil high. On Thursday, Alonza C. Mueller, of Montgomery oouuty, Ohio, twelve miles from Cincinnati, was shot anil mortally wounded by a brother-in-law while at dinner with his family. The tragedy grew out of a family quarrel.
