itpon nedlowl < nnt).
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.

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.

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

THE vast amount of Plantation Bitters
now being sold and shipped from New
York is almost incredible. 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.

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.
