Ttwo Democratic' Watchman. BELLEFONTI 4 I, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 17, 1868 The Freedmen'• Bureau The Ruff** ho are not disposed to let get of their - favorite electioneering scheme in the South—the Freedmen's Bureau—at least until after the Presiden- HSI election. A bill providing for the continuation of the Bureau ie now in the Was of the President. In that bill is a Ohlmiedmithoriaing thellecrelary of War to dist:motion* the Bureau in any State whenever it shall !" , e fey restored to its constitutional' rola! lone- wilt ILL' Federal gevernmeet, and sball, be duly repres:ht ed in the Congress of the United States. Tbis wduld alone up the concern in one State inintrdisitily, and perhaps several others previous to the ''residential con test. The bill also places the Bureau under the supervision in control of the Seerelary of '• War instead of Geoeral Howard. To prevent these oonsequeu ea Senator Howard, of Michigan, has introduced a bill into the body of which he is member, the prinpipal feature of which provides for lbe dinoonti , nonce o the Bureau by the Commientot e on and after the first of January, 11409 No matter if the States are admitted prior to that period, atilt the negroes shall be controlled by the old machinery. This is intended to operate upon the contest for the President in these States By sash-means ths Radicals hope IQ over power the North and elect (loners) Grant The negroes era to be fed anti clothed, and marched to the polls by agents of the Bureau In States, the reptesentati•e of which are Toting, and speltkino, and acting in tae balls of national legisla tion. More than this, under Senator Howard's bill all power with reference to the Bureau is taken from the Secretary of Her and vested in (Anew! Howard, who is a tool of the Radicals and will alse the agency as directed by the man agers of the Radical electioneering cam paign. Senator Howard:fr. till was re ferred to the Military Committee, and it will no doubt be sated upon at an early day. Burapart from this view of the Freed atea's Bureau, why should it be contin ued I Facts hive long since demon•tra led its worthlessness as general meas ure. It never induced the freedmen to go to arork, as their former owners were successfully doing when it interrup.ed them. It Ices demoralised them for all useful porpoises, and filled the roads with a vagabond race that has yet to learn the hard lessons whit& necessity forges on us all. Again its cost Is a se rious drawback upon the prosperity of the 'WWI at this thntr If Senator Howard's bill passes, It will take from tea lo fifteen mtlitoss of dollars out of the Treasury, and of course it4d the same amount to te sum raised by tax: ation. General Howard's estimate for the expellees of ikla pet electioneering eebeine if the Michaels, in 1867, was $10,860,265,66, which sum was in part made_np of the following items : Saler les of aseiatanveommt.elonere, sub as sistants and agents $147,600 ; salaries of clerks. $82,890 ; stationary sod printing, $BB,OOO ; quarters and fuel, $200,000; subsistence stores. $1,600,000; medical department, $500,0 0 0 Irons portation, $800,000; school superin• tendeals. $26,000 ; buildings for schools and asylums. $600,000 ; telegraphing and postage, $lB.OOO Out of this large slice of ihe people's ineiney. it,..tutatids of idle *woes are clothed and led, the equivalent for which is that they shall follow the Intl of the "carpet-baggers," and vote for any person or ticket reoom mended by the managers of the Radical party.

The :'Registry Law" pnoonetitutionil The Supreme Court, of this State, sif ting in equity in Philadelphia, on Thurs day last, rendered an opinion declaring the new Registry Law unconstitutional Chief Justice Thompson delivered the opinion, which first rehearses the power of the Court to review and invalidate such acts where they contravene the Constitution. The Court opposes the ides that the board c f aldermen, or any other board or body, shall have the right to say who shall or who shall not be registved. or who shall or who shall not vole. The manner of getting up the registry lists of floes, and the other sec tions of the bill, are denounced as illegal and unjust. The CniefJustice concludes his able opinion se : • - "I " have not specially notictod the elLa- Lion of aothorities by the oounoil for re spondents to prove that registry laws Dave been held constitutional by the courts of other States. This might be owing to the pecallaritiee of the tonsil tattoos' provisions of those States, but another reason exists for noticing them.

This conclusion leaves all the ejestion laws la force, Which were intended to be superoeeded by this act.

There is no possibility of obanging the political character of the Senate, even if the Dentottrate should elect their President and n 'majority of the popular branch of Congress.

It can only be overthrown by the authority of the exec utive, who is sworn to maintain the Co nstitution. and who will fail to do hie duty if he allows the Constitution Co per ish under a series of Congressional en actmeate ithich are in palpable violation of its fundamental principle. If the President elected by the Demoo razy enforces or permits others to en, force these Reconetruction acts, the azdioals, by the secession of twenty spuriou' Senators 'sod fifty Representa tives, will conisol both branches of Con gress, and his administration will be as powerless sr —the present one- of Mr. Johnson. There le but one way ;u restore the Government and the constitution, and that is for the President elect to declare these acts nail and void, disperse carpet bag State governments, and elect Sena tors and Representatives. The House of Representatives will contain a major jority of Democrats from the North, and they will admit the Representatives elected by the whitepeople of the/30'1G., and with the co-operation of the Presi dent it will not be difficult to compel the Senate to submit once more to the obli gations of the Constitution. It will not be able to withstand the public judgment if diatinetly invoked and clearly expr. sled on this fundamental issue, and it is the sure way to avoid all future strife to put thia issue plainly to the country. I repeat that this is the real and only question wbtbh we should allow- to con trol us : Shall we submit to The usurpa tions by which the GoVernment has been overthrown or shall we exert ourselves for Its fell and oomplete restoration I It is idle to talk of bonds, greenbacks, gold the fublio falth'and the public credit.

These, and things like these, which eat up the revenues and resources of the 0 - mint and destroy its eriedit, makes the difference between gold and greenbacks. We must restore the Constitution before we can restore the finances, and to do this we must have a President who will oxesute the will of the people by tramp ling into the dust the usurpations of Congress, known as the reconstruetio., sots.
