BELLEVONTE, PA,
Wednesday Morning, April 14, '6O.
ADJOURNED:—Congress adjourned
on Saturday the 10th inst and the
President issued a Proclamation Cal
ling an extra Session of the-Senate.
Glorious News from Connecticut.
In Connecticut, on the sth inst., the
Republican party gained a most glori
ous victory. In spite of the frauds and
herculean efforts put forth by the reb
el Democracy, JEWELL, the Republi
can candidate for Governor, and the
whole State ticket were elected by ma
jorities ranging from 500 to 1000. The
Republicans gained two members of
Congress, DIXON, the Johnsonized
renegade, having been defeated. Tru
ly, it may be said, Connecticut gather
ed up her Jewels on the sth inat.
The State Legislature is Republican
by a large majority, thus securing the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment by that State. This was the is ,
. sue presented in the contest. The
Democrats cast their all upon this, en
tered the fight, and were most glori
ously whipped. Last spring when
there was no "nigger" in the issue,the
Democrats carried the State by. over
3,000 majority. The last prop has been
knocked from under them. Whipped
in Connecticut, the land of steady hab
its, and that, too, upon the question
of negro suffrage ! Heart-sick, chap
fallen, chagrined and disgraced, where
will this rebel, traitor, tort' crew turn
up next? Is there no hope,no restfor
"sick" as these? Echo answers - no
-rest for " sick thieves" ! With the
mark of CAIN upon its brow, this rebel
horde, constituting the Demoratic or
ganization, is being. driven from every
State, and from christian society—
from the society of the patriotic, en
lightened and honored men of the
land. They sought to destroy the life
of the Nation. In the darkest hour of
her peril, when even the christian's
heart sank within him, and who, for
the time, almost forgot the promise of
God Almighty, that "in evening -time
there shall be light," these sham Dem
ocratic rebel scoundrels were found
fighting against the Constitution of our
fathers, against the Government,
against human liberty and civilization,
aye, fighting against the great GOD
himself: For it has been beautifully
said that the surrender of LEE and
his rebel armies was not so much a
victory to GRANT and the Nation, as it
was to JESUS CHRIST and his equaliz
ing, ennobling and blessed Gospel.
The Republican party is the instru
ment under Gon, that saved the Gov
ernment, and to it he has consigned
the work of reconstruction, and the
perpetuation of our liberties. Let the
rebel horde wince, let copperheads and
the friends of slavery and a monarchi.
cal Government gnash their teeth and
write bitter things against the friends
of human liberty and the Republican
party, they can accomplish nothing.—
The great GOD is with us, and around
and about us like a wall of fire, and all
the enemies of the Republic, in earth
or hell, cannot prevail against us.
All hail, Connecticut!
GUBERNATORIAL.—In another col
umn will be found a communication
recommending Gen. HARTRANFT, now
Auditor General of the State, as a can
didate for Governor. This, we think,
is right. We are pleased to know that
the people are beginning to move in
the matter. While we have no partic
ular objections to Gov. GEARY'S re
nomination, and while we pledge him
our most hearty support if nominated,
nevertheless we think that the way to
secure harmony, and an Appomattox
victory in October nest, is by a thor
ough ventilating and canvassing of the
merits of the different aspirants before
the meeting of the Republican Con
vention.
What we want is the nomination of
the strongest and best man we have in
the organization, without regard to
claims, cliques or factions. The way
to ascertain who is the most able and
competent man to lead our great par
ty to victory in - the coming contest, is
by a full and fair discussion of the mer
its and demerits of the different as
pirants.
We are pleased to hear from our
" Benner" correspondent. Our col
umns are open to others who may de
sire to be heard on this subject. The
people should speak out, and now is
the appropriate time. The REPUBLI
CAN affords you a good medium thro'
which to speak. It is, most emphati
cally, the people's organ, and not the
organ of any Clique, Faction or Ring.
Rhode Island follows Connecticut !
In the election a year ago her Republi
can majority was 4,309. In 1807 it was
4,194. now, in spite of the general
apathy of the year following a Presi
dential election, and with a rote only
about one-half as heavy as last Fall,
we have carried the State by 4,808.
Well done, Little Rhody ! And now
let us all keep silense,while the Demo
c rats reckon up their gains, and point
to the great re-action against Grant's
Administration !
SINCE the new jail has proved a
failure, the taxpayers are anxious to
know who is to blame for this useless
expendetire of there money,the Con
tractors. or the Democratic Commis-
sioners. Will the Watchman Ex-
plain ?
The " Watchman" Sighs for Et Mon
archy! I
The Watchmtin, last Week; contains
an editorial entitled the "Three Won=
ders," in Which the Editor betrays the
object and aims of the treasonable or ,
ganizatioii to which he belongs. After
pouring out the vials of his Wrath up
on the "infidel; fanatical; rettatitibtia
ry Yankees of NeW and af
ter having exhausted the Whole cata
logue of billingsgate upon the "wretch
ed, iniserable,bloody-minded despola--
' 'the whole heard of. Radical swine,"
he breaks forth in the most piteous
strains, and sighs for a monarchy.•
"He sickens at the sight." What a
pity it is that the sickness of the poor,
miserable ignoramus, and incorrigible
fool, is not unto death. We dislike
hard names. They are not genteel.—
They convince no one. They can nev
er supply the plabe of argument, of
rhetoric or logic. But we have got
tired listening to the epithets and low,
vulgar, foolish and contemptible ap
peals of these worse than idiotic Edi
tors who assume to speak through the
columns of the Watchman for the Dem
ocratic party of this county. If such
trash, such empty, low-bred, treasona
ble, damnable, toly trash suits its read
ers,then are they hail fellows well met,
and anything we may say, or any ad
vice we may give,would be worse than
wasted. We shall, therefore, obey the
injunction of SoLomoN, and "Answer
a fool according to his folly, lest he be
wise in his own conceit." "The legs of
the lame are not equal, so is a parable
in the mouth of fools." "A whip for
the horse, a bridle for the ass and a rod
for the fools back." "Every prudent
man dealeth with knowledge ; but a
fool layeth open liis folly."
EDITORS
These Editors demonstrate their fool
hardiness by sighing " for such a ty
rant as CROMWELL," "for a tyrannical
Congress having some of the power of
the Barebone parliament," "for a des
potism which would crush the iron
grasp of CHARLES V., or a Parfar.—
Yes ; these tory, rebel scoundrels want
a monarchy! We have always believ 7
ed.this. Their advocaCy of free trade,
their sympathy with the rebels during
the war, and their vulgar abuse of pa
triotic men since the war abundantly
prove it.
Gen. GRANT, who, by the blessing
of GOD, and the strong arms of the
"boys in blue," saved the life of the
Nation, and who now fills the highest
position in the gift of American free
men, is spoken of by these miserable,
uneducated tools of an organization
cursed of GOD, and despised by all de
cent men, in the following language,to
wit—
"A whiskey - soaking, cigar-sucking
blundering, puling, blubering, weak
kneed, weak-hearted imbicile."
Speaking of the brave Generals
BUTLER, SCHENCK, GEARY, Lou
and BURNSIDE, who sacrificed the
comforts of home, and bared their
breasts to the storms of leaden hail,
poured in upon them by the most dam
nable of traitors, GEN. LEE, and his
wicked and ignorant, though it may be
mis-guided followers, they have no
praise for these.
"They are cowardly, murderous,
"wretches, all of them."
The Union Generals arc stigmatized
as murderous because they "murder
ed" some of the rebel Democrats of
the South, rather than permit them to
destroy the Government. .
Speaking of the leaders of the Dem
ocratic party he says:
"Look at our strength ! Our WooD-
`WARDS, our VALLANDIGHAMS, our
`SEYMOITRS; our PENDLETONS, our
TOOLITTLES; Our HENDRICKS, &C.,
(FZ,C. Among our military men we
"find enrolled the names of LEE,Han
"coez ! HAMPTON, Rosecrans! HILL !
"Bud! JOHNSON, McCandless! Mc
'Clelland! &c. (the &c., means the
rest of the Rebel officers.)
Why do the Editors of the Watch
man name ;,he Rebel Gen's LEE, &c.,
first? Do our readerS, or the honest
portion of the Democratic part; want
any further proof of the damnable and
treasonable proclivities of these blath
ering, fool-hardy,' contemptible tory
"wretches." How many loyal hearts
will ask in the name of GOD what has
HANCOCK done that he should be
placed side by side with LEE? What
has he done to merit the forgiveness of
the Watchman., for the part he took
in the "Abolition war" the "unholy
crusade" against "our Southern
brethern?"
Will the intelligent and honest por
tion of . our Democratic party never
open their eyes- to the light? Will
they go on for ever acting with the
Rebels and those who sympathise with
them all through the Rebellion? If
you can continue to do this,- then you
can honor the TORTES, the BEN EDICT
ABNOLDS of the Revolutionary war.
You can applaud JUDAS ISCARIOT who
betrayed his best friend with a kiss,
and sold the world's REDEEBLER for
thirty pieces of silver.
A SENSIBLE minister of the Gospel
is the Rev. Dr. Newman, of the Met
ropolitan (Methodist) Church of
Washington. On Easter day, having
been requested to give out a large
number of notices, he announeed from
the desk that "as profusely and wide
ly circulated as was the American
press, through the columns of which
such notices could be properly laid
before the public, he did not deem it
fair that the minister should be made
an advertising medium." Those pe
nurious hypocrites who would make
the pulpit the medium for advertising
their schemes, arc of the class who
put a dime into the contribution box
and take out a quarter.

Ititssits. EDlTbits :—Yoiir article
urging a timely ennsideration of the
subject of the Gftbtrnatorial
title, and Weighing the clainis of the
present VkecutivO 'WA ho aiiiibt) be
acceptable tb maily: nut there are
others who would estimate differently
the merits of den, Geary. ttoWever,it
is but justice to him to say that he
brings to the public work a sincere
purpose for good, an earnest employ
ment of all his faculties, and that with
wise and prudent advisers the affairs of
the State would be well administered
in his hands.
And if all the petty cliques and bit
ter feelings which must arise in a great
party by the attention of various inter
ests through a term of years can be
harmonized by the re-nomination of
Gov Geary, and the party be enabled
to meet the grave issues of the coming
contest with its whole force unimpair
ed by dissentious, then,we say, let him
be our nominee, and let us unite heart
ily in his support.
But, on the other hand, if it is tho't.
that the strength of the Republican
.party can not be rallied for Gov. Gea
ry, and the great interests of the coun
try must suffer from devotion to party
rules and usages, let us look about
for a standard-bearer, stronger in the e
confidence of the people, some one
known, honored and above reproach.
Tho' the bills and valleys of Pennsyl
vania hold many such, yet to none can
precedence be given over our- present
Auditor General. With a nature exhib
iting the rare union of high intellectu
al powers,with executive abilities—the
man ofithought,and the man of action,
with a patriotism tried and proven by
the grand ordeal of the" battle-field,
Gen. Hartranft acted in the varied po
sitions of his public life to the complete
satisfaction of the people, and twice
has their appreciation of his services •
been confirmed by overwhelming ma
jorities in his favor.
With such a man to marshal the for
ces of the Republican party, all the
dissentions would melt away, warmth
and enthusiasm would fill our ranks,
and the contest of the coming autumn
would be the grandest victory of our
party triumphs, and our beloved old
Commonwealth would have, at its head,
a man not to be moved to wrong by the
clamor of factions, the pressure of mo
nopolied interests or the fawning of
parasites. BENNER.
YESTERDAY the gallows was called
upon to vindicate outraged law and re
peat its impressive lessons to society.
George S. Twitchell, Jr., and Gerald
Eaton were tried for murder, and
found guilty by a jury of their count
rymen. The former slew a helpless
woman, secretly, in her own house.
The latter killed a fellow-citizen upon
the public streets of the city. Twitch
ell quaked before his doom, and . add
ed murder of self to that of his moth
er-in-law. He preferred cowardice
and the ignominy of suicide to the ig
nominy of the scaffold. Eaton met
the fate the law provided for him.
Which will fare best•before the Judg
ment seat? And now that the law
has been both vindicated and cheat
ed, society should thunder wholesale
condemnations against the prison dis
ciplin, or the violation thereof, which
allows promiscuous intercourse of the
public with prisoners condemned to
death. The sympathy they need is
that of retirement and freedom from
the public gaze ; and if we understand
it, this exemption is in accordance
with the spirit of the verdict. Why
allow men to be tortured to death by
the curious? Why force the pangs
of hell upon convicts ere their hour
has come ? Had Twitchell been let
alone his hands would have been clean
of his second murder.
Again,every lover of peace and good
order should thank the authorities
for providing an example to those
who, in utter disregard of their sur
roundings, and in blind obedience to
bullying and depraved natures. in
dulgo in indiscriminate assaults upon
the public. We know not how many,
but very many murders were commit
ted jsat fall which were without ex
tenuating cliztumstances, save that
whisky was in, passion was on, or the
crowd was too great for successful
identification. The coward who
thrusts or shoots under such circum
stances should be taught that parti
san friends are not mightier than the
law, and that this kind of assassina
tion is the worst type of murder. We
hope the example provided will have
the result intended, else will Eaton
also have cheated the law of its mo
tives.—Press, April 9th.
AFTER. all "Yankees" sometimes
do some things not so bad. Not to
speak of New England civilization in
particular, the little city of. New Bed
ford has a free library, the product
of public tax mainly, numbering 21,-
000 volumes, which is increasing at
the rate of about 1000 annually. The
city appropriates every year $2,500
for its support, and there are — funds
which yield $2OO more. It is kept
open every day, except Sundays and
holidays, for about nine hours a day,
and of its books upwards of 34,000
volumes are taken out all in the course
of a year. We know of a city with
five times the population of New
Bedford where "Yankees" is a term
of reproach that has no free library
at all, and scarcely a library of any
kind; and where the citizens so far
from taxing themselves for such a pur
pose seem to think that money thus
bestowed, or in any manner bestowed
for libraries, is about as bad as thrown
away. And here it is that the "Yan
kees" differ from those who think it
is something smart to speak of them
disparagingly.
Our Washington Letter,
W.A . siliNdidig, C; April 9th '69,
DEAR ItEPUBLICaiI Acoording to
all appearances, the adjourament of
Congress ; which is fixed for to-inor.,
to*, *ill have considerable general
business timlinisiied : aside trom the
large number of Offices, for which, as
yet, no nominations have been made.
No opinions are hazzarded as to the
probabilities of an extra session of
the Senate being called by the Presi
dent, although there is a remarkable
unanimity of feeling among the exped
tants, whose turns have not yet come
that if an extra session is not called,
somebody will have failed in his duty,
which,among those holding over there
is a general belief that an extra ses
sion was never as little needed as at
present.
. In proportion as the day of adjourn
ment draws near, the pressure upon
Senators and Members increase, and
the Heads of Departments, "Levees,?'-
are more numerously attended at
present, than they have been for
years. Congressmen universallyuniversally agree
that the sight of a man who does not
want an'offiee is beneficial to weal;
ened optics, but that such sighti are
"like angel's visits—few and far be
tween." Our offiee-seeking friends
i (if we have any) will please make a
note of the fact, that no personal
reflections are intended; we are mere
ly indulging on a little fling against
the mania, as is the fashion every
where.
The nomination of General James
Longstreet, to the Surveyor of the.
Port of New Orleans, has been con
firmed at last; but it is believed that
the nomination of the ex-rebel Col.
C. C. Crowe, of Alabama, to be Gov
ernor of New Mexico, will be report
ed upon unfavorably by the Senate
Territorial Committee. The confir
mation of Longstreet was bitterly op-
Posed by many of the leading Sena:
tors, and barely a quorum was present
when he was confirmed. A majority
of the Republican Associations of the
City have passed resolutions adverse
.to the nominations or confirmation of
ex-rebels to any offices of trust or
profit, under the United States Gov
ernment. While we would not go the
whole length of these resolutions,
lieving it to be given to the "repen
tant ones" as an earnest of the will
ingness of the Government to over
look the past offenses of those whe
show themselves truly anxious to
atone for their crime, we do think
that nominations from this class of
men, should me made sparingly, and
considered carefully, and we are both
pained and surprised at the alacrity
with which a journal of this city,
claiming to occupy a leading position
in the Republican ranks, conjures up
a good record for every one of these
ex-rebel nominees; sometimes ' so'
good a one that the service in the C.
S. A. is not mentioned at, all. We
don't think it at, all proper that , one
armed or one-legged soldiers of the
Union Army, or even men who did
nothing more than give of their
means, and vote right, should have a
shadow of reason for complaining that
service in the rebel army is a good re
commendation, provided it has been
followed, either actually or professed
ly, by a proper degree of repentance.
It was rumored yesterday evening
that all the heads of Bureaus in the
Interior Dept. had been informed
that their resignations would be ac
cepted, but (although it is believed
something of the kind will be done,
as the present heads seem determined
that the country shall not lose their
services while they can help it) up to
this hour the report needs confirma.
thin. Speculation is rife as to who
will be the new. appointees, but it is
the common opinion that the Indian
General, Ely S. Parker, will be the
Commissioner of Indian affairs, and
Dr. T. B. Hood, of Illinois, late Sur.
geon U. S. A., Commissioner of Pen
sions. For the Land Office, Hon. J.
M. Edmunds of Michigan, the late
Commissioner, seems to be the most
prominent candidate,while the names
of a half-dozen distinguished gentle
men are mentioned in connection with
the Patent Office.
. Fewer changes will probably occur
in the War Department than in any
other, owing to the fact that military
men are at the head of its various
Bureaus, and therefore are rarely
changed. The office of the Quarter
master General will be removed about'
the first of May, from the building ,
now occupied by it, to the one oppo
site the Treasury Department, lately
used by the Commissioner of Internal -
Revenue. The clerks are in high
glee at the prospect of their escape
from the barn-like edifice in which
they now hold forth, and their remo—
val will be a benefit to the city also,
as Mr. Coveoron, the proprietor, pro
poses to thoroughly finish the build
ing inside, and donate it to the city,
for the purpose for which it was orig
inally intended—an ART GALLERY.
The building is excellently adapted
to this purpose, being, so far as the
outside is concerned, one of the most
imposing Structures in the city, but it
is far from being a model, er even
comfol. table, office-room, as hundreds
of unfortunates can testify,
Before another letter reaches you,
"that railroad meeting" will have
been held. We hope Centre county
will do her duty, and remember that
the eyes of "all who wish to get from
Washington to Bellefonte and parts
adjacent, inside of twelve hours, aro
upon her representatives."
Truly yours,
KAPPA.

Message from the President.
WASHINGTON, April 7.—The fol
lowing message of the President was
received by Congress at 4 o'clock this
afteinoon I
Po the Senate and Rouse of Pepre
sentatives : W hile lam aware that
the time in which Congress proposes
now to remain in session is very brief,
and that it is the desire, as far as is
consistent with the public interest, to
avoid entering upon the general busi
ness of legislation, there is one sub
ject which concerns so deeply the wel
fare of the country that I deem it my
duty to bring it before you. I have
no doubt that you will concur with me
in the opinion that it is desirable to
restore the States which were engag
ed in the rebellion to their proper re ,
lations to the government and the
country at as early a period as the
people of those States shall be found
.willing to become peaceful and order
ly communities and adopt and main ,
tain such constitutions and laws as
will effectually secure the civil and po
litical rights of all persons within their
borders.
The authority of the United-States,
which has been vindicated and estab
lished by its military power, mustun
doubtedly be asserted for the absolute
protection of all the citizens in the full
enjoyment of their freedom and securi
ty, which is the object of a republican
government. But whenever the peo
ple of a rebellious State are ready
. to
enter in good faith upon the accom
plishment of this object, in entire con
formitywith the constitutional authori
ty of Congress, it is certainly desirable
that all causes of irritation be remov
ed as promptly as possible,that a more
perfect union may be established, and
the country be restored to peace and
prosperity.
The convention of the people of Vir
ginia,which met in Richmond on Tues
day, December 3,1867, framed:a CODS- -
titution for that State, which was;
adopted by the convention on the 17th
day of April, 18E4 ; and 1 - desire res
pectfully to call the attention of Con
gress to the propriety of.providing by
law for the holding of an election in
that State at the same time during
the months of May and June next,un
der the direction of the military com-.
mander of the district, at which the
question of the adoption of that consti
tution shall be submitted to the citi
zens of the State, and if this should
seem undesirable I would recommend
separate vote be taken upon such
parts as may be thought desirable,and
at the same time and under the same
authority there shall be an election
for the - officers provided 'under such
constitutton,and that the constitution,
or such parts thereof as shall have
been adopted by the people, be submit
ted to Congress on.the first Monday,
December next for its consideration,
so that if the same is approved the
necessary steps will then have been
- taken for the restoration of the State
of Yirginia to its proper relations to
the Union. lam led to make this
recommendation from the belief that
the people of that State are now ready
'to co-operate with the national. Gov
ernment in bringing it again to such
relations to the Union as it ought to
enjoy, as soon as possible to establish
and mLintain, to give all its people
those equal rights under the laws
which were asserted in the declaration
of independence, in the words of one
of the most illustrious of its sons. I
desire also to ask the • consideration of
Congress to the question whether
there is not just ground for believing
that the constitution formed by a con
vention of the people of Mississippi
for that State, and once rejected,might
not be again submitted to the people
of that State in like manner, and with
-the probability of the same result.

WASHINGTON, April 7,1869.
SECRETARY Boutwell is going to
"lop off all worthless and inefficient
cficers and clerks." Economy, in
this case, like charity in all, should
begin at home. Let Mr. Boutwell
ask the heads of bureaus in the Treas

spared without injury to the service,
and let him remove at once every such
person, and he will; we can assure

CORN! • E
Auepiciunt nzeliorie mei. Bona ftde. Quid
pro quo !
THE subscriber offers to farmers through
outl the country, the
EGYPTIAN CORN,
which upon trial, was found to ripen,plant
ed the last of July. It is estimated, from
its very prolific qualities, to yield 150 bush
els per acre, and weighs, by sealed measure,
sixty-five pounds to the. bushel. This corn
was pronuneed by some procured direct from
Mr. Jones, our consular agent, directly on
his return from Egypt.
It seeds no different culture from that of
other varieties, and in the South two crops
can be raised in one season on the same
ground. It grows in the form of a tree, and
thirty-four ears have grown upon one stalk,
and will average from five to fifteen. For
domestic use it is unparalled. When ground
and properly bolted, it is equal in color and
fineness to wheaten flour. As a forage crop,
by sowing in drills or broadcast, for early
feed, there is no kind of corn so well adapt
ed to mulch cows, and none that will yield
half the value of stalk corn.
It can be successfully grown in any State.
I givo the most satisfactory references
that the corn is, in every respect, what I
represent it to be; and further, I am the on
ly person throughout the country who has
this corn. Having secured a quantity, lam
now able to 1111 all orders j'r those desirous
of testing it.
TERMS.—In order that all may receive
seed. we have reduced the price to one dol
lar and fifty cents a package. Any person
who will get up a club of five will receive a
package gratis—Fifteen packages for $lO,
Fifty packages for $2O. One hundred pack
ages for $3O. One package will contain
enough to plant the following season from
twenty to thirty acres; also directions for
planting and cultivating.
