The Passage of the Supplementary Itc
construction Hill A Summary of its
Provisions.
Thb Supplementary Reconstruction "bill lias
nallj passed both Houses of Congress, and
has gone to the President for his signature or
rejection. He will probably veto it, when it
will immediately be passed over his veto and
become a law.
This bill, as we have before explained,
merely Bupplies the necessary machinery for
carrying out the general plan of reconstruc
tion adopted by the last Congress. It provides
that, before the first day of September next,
the Commanding General in each of the dis
tricts under the Reconstruction law passed
last session, shall cause a registration to be
made of the legal voters under that act, and
who shall have taken and subscribed an oath
to the effect that they are citizens of full age,
have never been disfranchised for participa
tion in any rebellion or civil war against the
United States have never, as United States
or State officers, taken an oath to support the
Constitution of the United States, or held a
civil office in any State, and afterwards en
gaged in rebellion or insurrection against the
United States and that they will support
and defend the Constitution of the United
States.
That, after the completion of the registra
tion in any State, an election, of which at
least thirty days' notice t-hall have been given,
Shall be held, at sue h time as the command
ing General shall direct, for delegates to frame
n Constitution and civil government for the
Htate loyal to the Union. At that election the
qualified voters shall also vote on the question
Whether a Convention shall be held or not,
and no Convention shall be held unless a
majority of the registered voters shall have
voted upon that question, and a majority of
those so voting shall have voted in faVor of
holding a Convention.
That the Commanding General shall appoint
not exceeding three loyal officers or persons in
each election district to make registration of
the voters, superintend the election, and make
return to him of the votes and of the persons
elected. He shall then make proclamation of
the result, and, within sixty days after the
election, shall notify the delegates to assemble
at a place named, and, on a day fixed, to frame
a constitution. The Convention, when or
ganized, shall fust determine by a vote
whether it is the wish of the people of the
State to frame a constitution and civil govern
ment in conformity with the provisions of the
act, and if it is, shall then proceed to frame
8aid constitution, which, when framed, shall
be submitted for ratilication to the registered
voters of the State, ut an election to be held
by the officers appointed by the commanding
general for the election of niemlers of the
Convention, the returns, as before, to be made
to him.
That if the Constitution shall have been
ratified by a majority of the votes of the quali
fied electors, the 1'resident of the Convention
shall transmit a certified copy of the same to
the President of the United States, who shall
forthwith transmit it to Congress, if in ses
sion, or if not, immediately upon its reas
sembling ; and if Congress shall declare the
same to b in conformity with the provisions
of the Reconstruction act, and shall be satis
fied that all the registered voters had an op
portunity to vote without hindrance or intimi
dation, and that it meets their approval, the
State shall lie declared entitled to representa
tion, and Seuators and Representatives shall
be admitted therefrom. All elections under
the act are to be by ballot.
It will be seen from this summary that Con
gress has carefully guarded all the steps to bo
taken ; that governments are not tolnj formed
by minorities of the qualified voters, and the
rights of all classes are fully protected. Great
discretion is reposed in the Commanding Genu
rals, and their faithfulness is necessary to the
proper execution of the law. The high char
acter of the officers appointed is a sufficient
guarantee that their duties will be well per
formed. Thus, at last, the work of recon
struction in placed upon a proper basis, and is
in the full tide of successful operation.
The War of the Humbugs.
A very nice little fight is going on in one of
the Congressional Districts of Connecticut, be
tween two of the biggest humbugs on the
American continent Phineas T. Ilurnum and
James Gordon Uennett. Barnum is running
for Congress, and ''another Barnum" is his
ostensible opponent, but he is a mere man of
Btraw, as the great showman's real opponent
13 none other than the world-renowned editor
Of the New York Herald. As we have said,
theBe are the two biggest humbugs on the
American continent. Baruuiu is the prince
Of humbugs in the show line; Bennett is the
Iting of humbugs in the newspaper line. One
la a sharp Yankee, the other is a cute Scotch
man. Each has followed the same line of tac
tics, applied to different branches of business.
Barnum's great rule has been to render him
fielf notorious to draw people to his shows;
Bennett's the same, to get people to read his
newspaper. Any one who will take the trou
ble to read the lives of the two men, will be
Struck by the similarity of their charac
ters. Apparently they might have changed
(laces, and each, have attained the other's sua
cess. Barnum says he has hnmbnggod people
in the show line, because thoy wantod to be
humbugged; and Bennett, when once asked
why he did not make a paper of higher tone
and charactor, said there was no market for it
that he made as good a one as the people
wanted. Barnum says that, despite his hum
bugs, he always gives the poople their
money's worth in Ids shows; and
Bennett maintains the same for ttie Herald.
And as Barnum has at last succeeded in build
ing up a very creditable museum, so Bennett
has succeeded in building up a very fair news
paper. Each is said to be rich, and each
shows a disposition in his old age to pay a
little more defer nco to society. Barnum has
discarded his woolly horses, his Peejee mer
maids, and his baby shows, and wants to go
to Congress; Bennett has dropped the Demo
cratic party, pro-slaveiyism, and pretty
actresses, and wants to impeach the President.
The old humbugging instinct, however, will
now and then show itself on both sides, as in
tho letter in regard to tie using of money in
elections, which Barnum is charged by his
enemies to have caused to be written t him
self, that ho might have a chance to reply to
it, and in Bennett's proposal to run General
Grant and Robert F. Lee on the same ticket
as eandidatis for President and Vice-President
in the Presidential election of 18G8.
Why, then, under all these circumstances,
does Bennett oppose the election of Barnum ?
There may be several reasons. First, there is
the natural principle that bodies charged with
the same kind of electricity repel ono another.
Then, "two of a trade cannot agree." Again,
there was that matter of the purchase of the
old Museum lot and Barnum's lease thereon,
in which Bennett is said to have got his
fingers badly burned. Finally, Barnum was
the leader in the revolt of the theatres and
showmen against the Herald in the matter ef
advertising and job printing. "This establish
ment does not advertise in the New York
Herald," is a motto containing an insult
which the old Scotchman can never forgive.
There are those, however, who suspect that
Barnum's Congressional canvass is one of
his old-fashioned operations to secure an ex
tensive advertising before the people. The
Herald gives him column after column daily
sometimes a whole page at a time in which
all tho important incidents of the great show
man's career are attractively set forth. The
people read it, and Barnum becomes more
notorious than ever. If he shall be defeated,
lie will have secured the advertising at least.
If he shall be elected, he will have secured
the advertising, and will have beaten Bennett
and the Herald. Meantime, as the fight
waxes warm between these veteran humbugs,
the people look on and laugh. Bennett has
tho advantage of his newspaper, so that Bar
num may fairly be considered "the under dog
in the fight," and as such may claim the
popular sympathy. At all events, this war of
the humbugs will long be remembered in our
political annals.
Hnve We a Mirubeuu Among Us?
Tuu speech of the Hon. M. B. Lowry, of Erie,
in the State Senate yesterday, a synopsis of
which was telegraphed to all the journals of
the Commonwealth, carries us back to the
days of the impassioned Mirabeau, and renders
pertinent the question Have we a Mirabeau
among us? When that "spotted leopard" of
France rose to address the Convention, we are
told that his wild eloquence and burning in
vective made his hearers forget his personal
appearance, and pay attention only to his
words. So it must have been with Lowry.
As the strong torrent of righteous wrath
poured itself out in chaste yet vindictive
phrases, his frills and full dress were lost upon
the amazed Senate. They listened only to au
astonishing mingling of "hell," "fast horses
and women," "Star of Bethlehem," "Vol
taire," "the Devil," "infernal wedge," and
other expressive if not particularly parlia
mentary epithets. In order that we may have
a proper appreciation of the intentions of Mr.
Lowry, it must be borne in mind that the
address was written out first, and then read to
the Senate, so that we may take it for granted
that each word was well weighed, and he was
prepared to stand by what he had said. Let
ns, then, look at this oration.
The bill having been read, the Senator from
Erie declared that it was offered to, gratify
"an ungodly multitude in Philadelphia," and
with a desire to be alliterative, said that the
cars wiil be patronized only by those who love
"their beer better than their Bibles." "Well,"
as Polonius says, "beer and Bibles is good."
At this stage of the address the honorable
member exhibited rather vague ideas on the
subject of "tho ungodly multitude," for he
states that those people who have the culpa
ble preference for malt liquor rather than
Holy Writ also keep "fast horses and
women." We must correct our country legis
lator. The jeople who keep fast horses have
no jttnehant for beer, but ou the contrary have
an utter disgust for such a plebeian drink.
And also we are at a loss to see why people
who have "fast horses" should desire the
cars to run, as they would naturally ride
behind their own animals, and the cars would
only incommode them by making them turn
off the tracks. We therefore think that life
in the country, however conducive to reflec
tion, is calculated to instil false ideas in
regard to the various classes of citizens of our
great municipality.
"If," says the Senator, "cars were allowed
to run, they would be filled witli shoulder
hitters." If the patronage of the Sunday cars
depended on the "boulder-hitters," we can
not think that the demand for them would be
persistently urged by the companies. It is a
mistake, Mr. Lowry, to suppose that our popu
lation is composed to a great extent of "shoul
der-hitters." We have not enough to fill a!
the street cars. They are ft email proportion
of the population, and we think that the Sona-
tor from Erie might spend soveral days in our
midst without moeting any of them. The
gontleman also tells ns that "the cars would
take them all to boll." This also is a mis
take, for tho greater portion of them would be
taken to Fairmount, where the abundance of
water rendors the title givon it by tho Senator
peculiarly inapplicable. ' Besides, Mr. Lowry,
our cars do not all run in tho same direction;
and it is simply impossible that passengers in
the Chesnut and Walnut streets and in the
Second and Third streets cars could be carried
to any common spot.
"This infernal entering wedge of sin was
favored by none except a few ministers with
slip-shod consciences." The epithet of "slip
shod," when applied to conscience, conveys to
ns no distinct impression; but probably the
gentleman can imagine a "conscience" in the
light of an animal badly "shod." Our un
trained mind cannot fully grasp the unique
idea.
The next paragraph is such a series of pro
positions, so closely connected in sense, that
we might injure the syllogism by a separation.
It reads:
"ThPbe men wpre not, kucIi ar stood with tlielr
bucks to Voltulre, and their eyes to the ."Star of
Jieiuiclietu. Miould me noiy luw oe viointeu hi,
the order of a rnllroad corporation In swad
dling clothes, when the commandments are
renlly (he common luw of the Innci? The devil
hud cut ills hair and shaved his face, and come
into the Senate Chamber, and said he wua a
Christum of f?rcat respectability, and coolly
proposed to enter into partnership with the
Lord lor purely Christian aud benevolent pur
poses. Tho whole prollisof which are to go to
the pockets of Union Hallway Corporations,
which promise to carry passengers to lleaven
and to J kll at seven cents each."
Why should a man looking at the star of
Bethlehem necessarily have Voltiire behind
him? Why should a railroad company lie
said to be wrapped in swaddling clothes ? And
why should the devil need a barber before en
tering the State Senate chamber? These
questions will naturally suggest themselves to
the readers of Mr. Lowry's speech. But like
certain quantities in algebra, they must forever
remain "insoluble."
We hope we have done Mr. Mirabeau Lowry
justice. He has certainly done a great deal to
distinguish himself. He has made as unlbrtu
nate and as disjointed a speech as was ever
delivered, and its style will recall the oration
of Jack Downing on the American eaiile.
Viewing the oration from a critical point,
commending its vigor, its originality, its
unequal force, its rapid succession of ideas,
and, above all, its redundance of adjectives,
we ask whether the theory of the transmigra
tion of souls is indeed false, or whether the
soul of the great orator of the French
Revolution has indeed reappeared on earth in
the person of the Hon. Mirabeau Lowry, State
Senator for the county of Erie ?

rgp IRON IN THE BLOOD. THE
v-- necessity of a duo proportion of iron in tlio blood
is well known to all medical men; wlion it becomes
reduced from any came whatever, the whole system
suffers, tho weakest part being first attacked, and a fool

system. The remedy Is simply to supply the blood with
the necessary cuantity of Iron. Tills can be dono by
using the
PERUVIAN BYIU'P,
a protected soliilion ol'tho protoxide of Iron, which Is so
prepared that It assimilates at once with tho blood, giving
strength, vlgor,and new li e -o the whole system.
To take medicine to cure diseases occasioned by a doll

fHE CHINCARORA
ANTI-NERVOUS
SMOKING TOBACCO!
The CHINGARORA TOBACCO grows from the rich
koiI of the "OK1KNT," uud la possesHed of u pecu
llnrly delicious llavor, entirely unknown to the
tobaccos of all other climes, iiut lis unprecedented
popularity lias sprung from the lact of the entire ab
sence of that deadly poison, NicoUn, which permeates
every other tobacco, and which is the one and sole
cause of the distressing nervous dlseuxes, dyspepsia,
etc.. which most Invariably, sooner or later, tollow
the Indulgence of tbe pipe and cigar. At the recent
analy.utlon of tobacco from all parts of the world, at
the Academy of (Science, in Paris, the renowned
Chemist, M. J.aiiioureaux, declared that while Euro
pean and American tobacco contained fully eight per
cent., and the purest Havana tobacco from two to fl 76
per cent, of Aicotin, the CHlNGAKOltA did not con
tain one discoverable particle of that deadly poison, a
drop of which, extracted, will destroy lire.
Our Agent at liOM BAY has shipped us larze quan
tities ot tbe CUINUAltOKA During tbe last two
years, and although we have been pressed to supply
the demand for this delicious luxury to the veteran
smoker, yet we are now prepared to oifer It in un
limited quantities, at a pi Ice much lower than some
American tobacco of alar Inferior quality,
A connoisseur has but to smoke the American to
bacco and clgurs, which are invariably chemically
ilavored, to be disgusted with the medicinal taste,
which leaves a nauseous, unhealthy coating lu the
mouth, and in time never tails to shatter the nervous
sysiem.
The natives of the "OKIKNT" smoke theCHIN
UAKOKA from morn till night, irom youth to age,
and are happily unconscious ol the wild, distressing
tire which courses thiougb the veins of the Inhaler
ot the iumes of tobacco containing Nicotln.
We Invite every lover of the wued to try the CIIIN
OAKOHA, and guarantee unprecedented pleasure In
lis ueliclous Haver, bold everywhere.
