Saturday evening. Further particulars
will he given in next issue.
Negro Suffrage.
'hat pliant fellows the leaders of
the Democratic party are. One day
they oppose- a measure with all the
power of mono: and eloquence, they
appeal t.:l the prejudices of the peo
ple, they cajole, flatter, plead, expos
tulate, bribe and as a last resort at
tempt to co erce -their supple tools—
the next day, or so soon as they dis
cover that the people cannot be de
ceived, that the intelligent and loyal
13 eople have decided against them,
just so soon they change their tactics
and principles, and say, "We told
yon so, we were right all the time,"
What consummate hypocrites ! Will
the people never learn to understand,
the notives and the a2tiO vs of these
men? •
Every person knows that lion.
George W. Woodward is one or the
leatio.ni of the Democratic party. He
is now a member of Congress f , ,tin the
ti II Distvict. He is worshipped by
the smaller lights; yz,t , this same Judge
es.dward has i:cen to Florida and
made a speech—a speech in which he
endorses Negro Suffrage. In yes
pow to a sentiment complimentary
of himself, he said:
"The Legislature [of Pennsylvania]
"ratified negro fufi'rage Before the
"voice. cf the people could be heard on
"the question. I have said if the
"people of Pennsylvania would votein

The above •c tract is copied from
the Florida sTTt zon of the 25th ult.
Jud7e. Woodward in favor of negro
suffrage ! Hear him, "I am willing
, the egro should vote." What have
the honest masses of the Democratic
party to say now ? Do you not see how
pliant your leaders are? How they
first attempt to deceive and cheat the
people ; but failing in this, how like a
whipped spaniel they cringe at the
feet of power whether it be black or
white and exclaim, am willing that
the negro should vote" and•" The col..
cred people of my town respect no one
more than they do me, yet I em not a
Republican." What a slander upon
the colored people of his town is the
first part of that sentence! And we
thank God that Judge Woodward is
not a Republican. No Republican
ever 7.-anted Pennsylvania to secede
and go with the South. Woodward
did. The colored people of his town
respect him ! If this be true, it is not
saying much for the intelligence of
the colored people of Woodward's
town —thats all.
Work and Legislation.
Congress assembled on the 6th inst.
The members were at their posts, and
from the way they have taken bold of
matters, we look for earnest work, and
good who.esome legislation. The Leg
islatures of Tennessee, Kentneky,Cali
fornia, Alabama, North Carolina, are
in session, and those of Maine, Massa
chusetts, Rhode Island, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Vir
ginia, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
lowa, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Florida, Georgia and South Carolina,
will assemble in January. The Legis
lature of liebra:r.ka is to be called in
special session, and the Legislature of
Virginia, Mis.-,issippi and Texas wait
on the aet of reconstruction.
Alrogaher, we may expect to have
4w,f4ty-.9;:ren law-making bodies at full
work a

The _ksthr_ House Scandal
•
Richardson the seducer of McFar
land's wifc i 3 dead. Before he died
or while ho was dying, he and Mrs.
McFarland were married 1?y Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, assisted by,
Rev. Dr. Fild and the Rev. 0. B.
Frothingham. Rev. Beecher per
f,ifined the ceremony and Rev. Froth
ingham did the praying, or rather dis
graced his calling by using the follow
ing blasphemous language : "Father
we thank Thee for what these two have
been to each other, and for what they
may yet 6e." It is a wholesome sign
to see the press both • secular and re
ligious condemn this whole transac
tion, this murder, this seduction, this
profanation of marriage. It is de
nounced on all hands as immoral, dis
gusting and outrageous.
EDITORS
But the public expression, says the
N. Y. Observer, is inadequate to con
vey the least idea of the private grief
and shame which that religious mock
cry of marriage has caused. One of
the daily papers publishes whole col
umns of brief letters from clergymen,
from ladies, and others, giving their
names and residence, and protesting
in the name of Christianity and de'
coney against the outrage. Another
daily paper says that Mr. Beecher's
people are so indignant that they are
determined to call him to account.
This, however, is incredible.
From all quarters there comes up
one lionet, virtuous cry of shame,
shame i—and it would be some faint
reparation of the injury done if the
ministers of religion, whose presence
has been the sanctification of that
revolting scandal, would put on sack
cloth and ashes andconfess their wrong.
Each of the clergymen has publicly
stated his views of the case, and we
• are grieved to say not one of them ex,
presses the slightest doubt of the
propriety of Lis conduct, nor makes
any concession to the sense of public
decorum outraged by their sanction of
this demoralizing and ilkgal transac
tion, The N, Y. lveizing Post, of
Monday, says:
"The public scandal caused by the
marriage of Richardson to the wife of
Merarland is likely to bring up the
question of the responsibility ofclerey

not-only no moral, but no legal force;
that no rights have been gained by it

mony as a public scandal, a disgrace
to religion and an offence against
social morals. In these sentiments we
fully concur, and we trust that before
another week the ministers will them
selves see it in the same light, and ex
press their regret that they were mis•
led into an act alike repugnant to the
laws of God and man.
Omitted Passage from the President's
Message.
In the copy of the President's mes
sage furnished to the newspapers of
this city, says the Phil'a. Press, there
was an omission of an important pas
sage. To remedy this omission we
republish the paragraphswhieh should
have contained the sentences omitted.
The part which was left out of the
copy as received is enclosed in brack
ets, thus[ 1:
The subject of tariff and internal
taxation will necessarily receive your
attention. The revenues of the coun
try are greater than the requirements
and may with safety be reduced.—
But as the funding of the debt in a
four or four and a half per cent loan
would reduce annual current expenses
largely, thus after funding justifying
a greater reduction of taxation than
[would now be expedient, I suggest
postponement of this question until
the next meeting of Congress.
It may be advisable to modify tax
ation and tariff in instances where
unjust or burdensome dirseriminations
arc made by the present law, but a
general revision of the laws rcgulating
this subject I recommend the post
ponement of for the present. I also
suggest the renewal of tke tax on in
comes, but at a reduced rate, say of
three per cent, and this tax to expire
in three years.
With ihe funding of the national
debt, as here suggested, I feel safe in
saying that taxes and the reverue

Free Schools and an Open Bible.
The action of the Cincinnati Board
of. Education in excluding the Bible
from the public schools, and the at
tending discussions, have become mat
ters of such importance that as a faith
ful chronicler of passing eventsvic can
not pass them by. The action of the
Board is thus stated by the daily
Press :
"The Cincinnati Board of Education
has decided, by a vote of twenty-one to
fifteen, to exclude from the public
schools not only the Bible, but also all
religious books; and the singing of re
ligious songs.- Of the votes in favor of
excluding the Bible, there were: Prot
estants, three ; Catholics, ten ; free—
thinkers, eight."
This aetion at once raised . a cry of
alarm,and roused a spirit of resistance.
Protestants at once charged that it was
not only an attack upon the Bible, but
also upon our American system offree
schools. The Catholics promptly and
frankly acknowledged the charge and
proceeded to defend their action.
The Tablet of New York City.—the
highest secular authority of the hie
rarchy of Rome in America.—says
bluntly, that permitting the Bible to
be exchaed, will not modify the anti
pathy of the church to our mode of
secular education. Not only is the
church opposed, it avers, to the Pro
testant Bible being used in thoschools,
but if that translation were supplant
ed by the Douay Bible, their hostility
would not be cooled. No.not if Catho
lic lessons from the Popish Bible were
chosen, and those alone, with com
mentaries by the most learned theolo
gians of the Catholic Church, were
made the only christian education in
our schools, the Catholics would yet
oppose the continuance of the fchools
with a determination which nothing
but their total suppression could, or
can, under any circumstances,weaken
or allay.
The Roman Catholic 7eiegrapkre
m ark ing upon the successes gained in
the Cincinnati Board of Education,
EOM
"It was a blind worship ofexpediency
to sustain a school system that tram—
ples upon the rights of Catholics. The
blindness has driven these defenders
orop common sehrin!,! a - .kdolic i ,
feat ; wlti - ch, by a skillful mat:oeuvre,
they unagined they had escaped. The
first chapter in this school controver
sey is now closed ; it ends with the
triumph of the law. The second ch•ipt
er will open with agitation against the
law itself in the name of Justice and
the right that both Protestants and
Catholics have to p mitive religious in—
struction in seperatc schools. If the
school law be modiiied to secure de
nominational education for all, Catho
lics will cheerfully pay their,portion
the school fund. if this wise amend
ment cannot be made, taxation for
school purpose.: must cease, Now that
the Bible has been excluded front the
schools, if the professed Protestants
have been sincere in all they have said
in its favor they must agree with the
Catholics in the second issue of this
question. Consistency will make them
our friends in the future."
The Freeman' Juio'ital, their mouth
piece in New York city, says:
"If the Catholic translation of the
Books of Holy Writ, which is to be
found in the homes of all our better
educated Catholies,were to by dissect—
ed by the ablest t)atholie thEologian
in the land, and merely lessons to be
taken frormit—such as Catholic moth
ers read to their. children ; and with
all the notes and comments, in the
popular edition, and ethers added,
with the highest Catholic endorse
ment : and if these admirable Bible
lessons, and these aline , were to be
ruled as to be read in all the public
schools this would not diminish : in any
substantial degree, the objection we
Catholics have to letting Catholic chil—
dren attend the public schools."
Such evidence at this must convince
all unprejudiced minds that the move
ment is a preconcerted and systematic
one. In Cincinnati the work is in its
first stage, in New York City it has
advanced to the second. There they
have succeeded in getting $214.928,
40 appropxiated to sectarian schools
and of this they have obtained the
appropriation of $171,638,40 to Cath
olic schools. It will be remembered
that a few years ago the Pope in his
encyclical letter not only condemned
our free schools, but our free govern
ment. All these things point to a
systematic, though insidious warfare
against not only an open Bible, but
against free schools and free institu
tions. We cannot believe that the
more liberal ard intelligent Catholics
of our own and other communities,ap
prove of these Frcceedings. On the
contrary we belive that every one who
loves our free institutions, be he
Protestant, Catholic or even free
thinker, will and must unequivocally
condemn every movement that looks
to the desti ucticn of our free schools
or in any way attacks our institution.
It is true that Henry \\mard Beecher,
Horace Greeley and the editor of the
Tadependent have declared themselves
ready to yield thin first position,if the
Catholics will CLlMproinic there and
cease tkeir attacks upon the free
schools, but they are contemptuously
told that the schools arc the main ob
ject of attack and that they will make
no compromise. In all chatity,kind
ness, and christian love and forebear
ance we would come to the discussion
of this question. At the same time
we would most positively and dis—
tinctly declare that we cannot for one
moment thick of surrendering either
our open Bible or our Free Schools.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
The State Treasury—Voice of the
Republican Press of Pennsylvania.
The Erie Western Pennsylvanian,
edited by B. F. H. Lynn, Esq., in last
•
week's issue, gives its views on the
State Treasurer question as fellows :
" The leading question in this con
nection with the organization of the
Legislature, is the selection-of a State
Treasurer. * * * * • *
There are two choices with which to
fight the ring. One is Gen. Irwin; a
former State Treasurer, against whom
not a suspicion of dishonesty was ever
entertained—and
.George F. Huff.—
The latter gentlemen is a resident of
Greensburg, a partner in the firm of
Wm. L. Loyd, bankers at Altoona,
and one of the banking firm of Loyd
& Huff, at Greensburg. He is an hon
est, high-minded, practical gentleman,
against whom not an objection can be
raised. But the friends of Gen. Ir
win are very numerous and deteruain
ed,and the only question with them is,
can enough virtue be found in the leg
islature to sustain an honorable gen
gleman in preference to the tool of a
clique, or ring, a damnable swindle on
the Commonwealth? We trust, for
the credit of Pennsylvania, that this
miserable clan of sharpers, who want
the Treasury, with all the profits ac
cruing from its possession when dis
honestly used, will for once meet with
such a rebuke as will show to them
that Pennsylvania does not exist as a
gambling machine, and that the mem
bers of
,the Legislature have net all
concluded that money paid to them in
hand is worth more than honor."
The Altoona Tribune, of last week,
referring to the nomination of George
F. Huff, Esq., for State Treasurer,
says :
"If ability, integrity, honesty and
youthful energy, were f.o be the win
ning cards with our Legislative Solons,
George's oldction would be a foregone
conclusion, and the tax payers would
reap the benefits of having the State
Treasury wisely and economically ad
ministered."
The Washington Reporter says:
"A writer in the Pittsburg Com
mercial presents the name of Hon. G.
F. Huff; of Greensburg. as a candidate
fin. State Treasurer,and urges his elec
tion oil alp ground Obis eminent fit
hess and honesty. We don't knoW
Mr. Huff, and all that the Commer
cial correspondent says about him may
be perfectly true, but we have a can
didate in this district whose character
for fitness and honesty stands quite as
hia as that. of any in.th in the State.
and who is. moreover, widely known
and popular. Tf the West wants to
present a candidate of undoubted fit .
lICSS and unimpeachable character,
Gen. Irwin. of Beaver, t is emphatically .
the man. We would say nothing in
disparagement of any others who may
aspire to the position, but if strong
claimA and eminent worth are to be
considered, Gen. Irwin should be the
successful candidate."
The Lancaster Express gives credit
to whom it is due, in the following ed
itorial :
"l.he Pranainer re=echoes the Har
risburg Telegraphin glorifying Treas
urer Mackey with ' especial praise' for
having secured $407,000 of taxes from
the corporation known as the Credit
Itiabelier. There is just about as much,
truth in this as there was in the friends
of Mackey claiming for that official the
credit justly due to Senator Billingfelt
for originating and advocating the
amendment applying the :surplus in
the Treasury towards paving off a por
tion of the State debt, thereby baying
the interest on the sam.. In the case
of the 'Credit .Mobilier,' if we are cor
rectly informed, the credit for hunting
the amount of taxes due the State : and
fixing the responsibility of the same,is
due to Louis W. Hall, Esq., the law
partner of Mr. Jordan, Secretary of
the State, and not to Mr. Mackey.—
This persistent attempt of the organs
of the Treasury ring to give Mackey
the credit due to others,affords a srik
ing illustration of the weakness of their
candidate, and the desperate character
of their cause."
The Lancaster Father Abraham of
last week says :
"Two or three weeks ago, the 'Hon.'
M. S. Quay, editor of the Beaver Raci.
ical, openly and defiantly boasted of
his purpose and ability to 'put through'
his slate, and that lie would defeat any
candidate for Speaker of the House
who was not openly and squarely for
iii 'set up,' and his candidate for State
Treasurer. But, somebody has since
given him some wholesome counsel,
and induced him tolaul in his horns,'
by denying that he was engaged in any
'set up' or slate 'making,' but that be
only meant to express his preference
for his candidate for State Treasurer,
of course, for the good of the State,
and because no money has ever been
used to further his (the Treasurer's)
interests. Among the members of
the Legislature elect, are honorable,
high-minded and true men, who are
not (mite ready to be 'run' and owned
by Mr.- Quay. or any other man or set
of men. Other members of the ring
doubtless felt the necessity of keeping
their very indil , ereet organ. grinding
within p-oper hounds. They evident-
ly see for themselves that the
.brag
game won't win."
The Bloomsburg Republican refers
to the "power behind the throne," as
follows :
"Mr. Quay. editor of the Beaver
Radical. assumes tD be the one who
directs the destinies of the Republican
party of this State. With the utmost
assurance he publicly declares,long.be
fore the assembling of the Legislature.
who will be elected to the various po
sitions in the gift of that once honors
b 1;; body, and even goes so, far as to
threaten those who oppose his slate,
with ruin. We know nothing of his
qualifications other than that the Rad
?cal is very well edited, but certainly
it is not proper that any one man or
clique amen should warp the inter-
est of so great a party. The time has
come when it should not be that the
people elect men to reprt!sent them who
instead follow the dictation of profes
sional politicians."
The Butler Citizen. of last week
says.
"The Republican party has been
promised retrenchment and they now
demand it. • As a first step the party
demands that. the printing of the
Legislative Record, a useless expen
diture, ix abolished. In addition to
the saving of the price paid for prin—
ting it, the Legislature eau dispense
with at least half a dozen pesters and
fahlers,and also save hundreds of dol
lan; in postage. Too many subordi
,nates are employed as hangers on
Around the Legislature, and too many
idlers either want these positions for
; themselves ,or friends• lire ask. the
press to speak out on those questions
before the Legislature meets. The
people have been proMised retrench
ment, and they expect it. They de
mand retrenchment, and they will
have it."
Alluding to the reported aivision of
the spoils between the Harrisburg
Patriot and the Telegraph, in the
printing of the Legislative Record,
the Ebensburg Alleghenian says :
"But who or bowmany have a fing
er in the pie, makes little difference.
If a good thing be made off the State,
we have no objection whether the
money go into one pocket or several.
But we insist that this good thing be
cut off. The Record is a swindle on
tax payers. It is of no earthly use.
No one reads it. No one appreciates
it except its printers—and the bar—
bers."
