CIVIL RIGHTS.
Since the passage of the Civil Rights Bill
over the veto of the President, we find
Copperhead papers filled with miserable
attempts to delude the public into the idea
that the bill confers political rights upon
the negro and makes him the political equal
of the white man. Though there are white
men unscrupulous enough to pretend to be
lieve, and presumptuous enough to attempt
10 teach, such a palpable falsehood, there
are few negroes ignorant enough to believe
It. Every one in the least familiar with
the term Civil Rights knows that it is ex
pressly used in contradistinction to Political
Rights. Bouvier in discussing the term
Rights, says:
"It is more proper, when considering
their olyect to divide them into political
and civil rights.''
"Political rights consist in the power to
participate directly or indirectly in the estab
lishment or management of government."
"Civil rights arc those which have norela
tion to the establishment, support or man
agement of the government"
Here we have the distinction so plainly
kid down, by one of the highest authorities
on American law, that the veriest simpleton
can not mistake, yet political charlatans and
demagogues undertake to hoodwink the
people into the belief that the two terms
mean one and the same thing. In the same
dishonest manner they would lead the peo
ple to believe, in the language of the Presi
dent, (blush thou O! America! for shame,
that he should betray thee and stoop to
falsehood, whom thou didst crown with thy
proudest laurels) that "The bill in effect
proposes a discrimination against large
numbers of intelligent, worthy and patriotic
foreigners and in favor of the negro." Our
readers will find, by a perusal of the hill in
another column, that foreigners are not
mentioned in it, and that the privileges it
confers, on white and black, are the same
that evefy foreigner enjoys, the moment he
sets foot upon our soil, the same that every
negro has enjoyed for years in every free
State (except during the existence of the
fugitive slave law) and now enjoys, viz :
protection in his rights of person and prop
erty. These are all the rights extended to
any one by this bill and they are extended
to white and black alike. The hill has a
much wider scope than merely to protect
the emancipated negroes, it is designed
to, and does insure, for the first time since
we became a nation, protection to the civil
rights of free Northern white men sojourn
ing or settling in the South, a protection so
long refused, a right so long trampled upon
by Southern intolerance. But it grants no
rights not guarantied by the Constitution,
since the day of its adoption, to every citi
zen of the United States, hut for long years
a dead letter, by reason of the domination
jf Southern slave-drivers. Thanks to our
gallant soldiers, and our noble representa
tives in Congress, the time has come when
the manacles are stricken from Northern
white men as well as Southern slaves, and
now indeed
"The mighty west may bless the east, ami sea
may answer sea
And moun tain unto mountain call: Praise God
for we are free !"
RADICALS.
It is very common thing to hear copper- j
heads talk of radicalism as some indefinable j
but very terrible monster to be feared and
avoided above all things. Every copper
head, every deserter and every one who op
posed the war for the Union, may be heard
trying to persuade himself and such as will
11 sten to his ranting, that these horrid radi
cals are about to ruin the country. Who
are these pestilent, dangerous fellows, these
radicals? What have they done? They are
the men who supported the government in
the proTccution of the war, who rais
ed the money and the men to put down
the rebellion, who stood by the Union
in the hour of its peril and determined to
live or die with it. What is the record of
those who are so vociferously crying out a
gainst these radicals? They were the peace
men in time of war, the men who pronounc
ed the war a failure, who denounced every
measure for carrying on the war as uncon
stitutional, who murdered enrolling officers,
who sympathized with and apologised for
treason and rebellion, who voted against
allowing soldiers to vote, against raising
money to pay the soldier, against every
measure calculated to enforce the laws, put
down rebellion and preserve the national
life, who fled to the fastnesses of the moun
tains and to Canada to avoid that monster
more terrible than the radicals'' Tin: Draft"
and who one and all support for Governor
Heister Clymer, the man who wished Penn
sylvania to he embraced within the lines of
the Southern Confederacy.
THE DIFFERENCE.
The different views of the opposing par
ties on the reconstruction question may be
briefly stated, thus,—-The Union men ask
of the late rebel states, the following guaran
ties for their future good behavior, viz—To
incorporate into their state laws such pro
visions as will secure all men, white and
black, loyal and disloyal, in their rights of
person and property, to provide against the
payment of debts incurred in the interest
of rebellion, to elect loyal men to office and
to make such changes in the apportionment
of Congressional representation as will put
them on an equality with loyal men in the
North. The copperheads of the Clymer
school ask that the rebels be permitted to
do as they please, to enact black codes in
every state, to persecute loyal men, black or
white and refuse them any means of protec
tion or redress, to elect the bitterest rebels
to office, to make service in the rebel army
a requisite to preferment, and to be permit
ted to return to Congress with a represen
tation making every Southern rebel equal
in power to two loyal" Northern men. The
first are the terms asked by the party rep
resented in the Gubernatorial contest by
General John W. Geary. The second are
the terms demanded by the constituency
represented by Heister Clymer. Which
will you choose? fe !
"MY POLICY": WILL IT WORM. I
The political programme, by which Pres
ident Johnson and his newly made friends,
the rebels and copperheads, hope to carry
Pennsylvania, has at last been determined
upon. In order to preserve the appear
ance of adhering to the Union party, such
weak kneed Republicans are to be appointed
to office as can be relied upon to go over to
the Copperheads whenever the order is giv
en. It is believed that by the Copperheads
coming up a little higher and the President
going a little lower down (how low that will
be 1) they will be able to unite, and with the
few Republicans that can be bought vrith
official patronage, they hope to gain suffi
cient strength to defeat the gallant General
Geary and make Heister Olymer Governor
of Pennsylvania. The miserable renegade,
Cowan, is said to be entrusted with the deli
cate task of manipulating the Government
officials throughout the State and dispens
ing the public patronage to the best advan
tage. It is all nicely arranged but "The
best laid plans of mice and men gang aft
aglee" and we have a presentiment that,
when the political guillotine is put in oper
ation and new appointments are sent to the
Senate for confirmation, there is a possibili
ty that that body may choose to exercise its
discretion after the style of the Civil Rights
Bill. This would only be a legitimate use
of its Constitutional prerogative. It has
been done before and may very appropriate
ly be done again. The President can only
make appointments with the advice and
consent of the Senate. Ordinarily the advice
and consent of the Senate is a mere matter of
form, hut it was incorporated into the Con
stitution for good and wise purposes as a
check upon the extensive appointing power
of the President. There never has been a
more appropriate tame for the Senate to
exercise its prerogative. The necessities of
war and our Internal Revenue laws have
thrown so many additional appointments,
and swollen to such an immense magnitude
the patronage, in the hands of the Presi
dent. that it not only becomes eminently
proper, but is the imperative duty of the
Senate to rigidly scrutinize all appointments
before confirming them. Let that body be
thoroughly satisfied, that incumbents are
discharged from office only for good and
sufficient cause, and that appointments and
promotions are made because of fitness and
faithfulness alone,before they are confirmed.
If the Senate fearlessly does its duty it can
effectually check-mate any attempt to
prostitute public patronage to political pur
poses.
We have neglected to state to our
readers who have manifested no little sur
prise at the vote cast by Hon. George W.
Householder in favor of the supplemental
act to the Connellsvillc and Southern Penn
sylvania Railroad Bill, that that gentleman
claims that he voted for the bill to enable
him, when the proper moment presented
itself, to move for a reconsideration. This
is certainly a very good reason and will be
appreciated by his friends. We hope he
voted against the submission of the General
Railroad law to the people with the same
view. We are not prepared to say that we
are in favor of a Free Railway System, bat
we cannot see what ill could come out of
the submission of so grave a question to the
people, who by their verdict could relieve
our Representatives und Senators of a great
amount of responsibility.
B@ri.The Pittsburgh Post is sorely exer
cised at the decision of Judge Underwood of
the United States District Court for Virgin
ia who maintains that the President's Peace
Proclamation does not restore the writ of
Habeas Corpus to the State of Virginia. It
says that the case was gotten up "in order
to preclude the possibility of the release of
Jeff. Davis under the operation of the writ."
It concludes that the decision will be rever
sed by the supreme Court "but as this will
not be for several months," it grumbles,
"great injustice may, in the meantime, be
done [to Jeff, of course] through the deci
sion of this partizan Judge." Rachel weep
ing for her children and refusing to be
comforted because they are not.
DEATH Of DANIEL S. DICKINSON.
Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson of New York
died in New York City on the 13th inst.
He filled with honor various prominent po
sitions in public life. As State Senator,
Lieutenant Governor and United States
Senator, he acted with the Democratic party,
but at the breaking out of the rebellion in
1861 be promptly took the side of the Union
party and acted with it up to the time of
his death. He was elected Attorney Gen
eral of New York on the Union ticket and
was afterward made District Attorney of
the United States Court for the Southern
District of New York.
SHOCKING Ml ItDEICS IN PHILADEL
PHIA.
The perpetration of a most shocking se
ries of murders was discovered in Philadel
phia on Thursday last. A whole family
consisting of eight persons were horribly
butchered in cold blood for the purpose of
robbing the victims. The exact date of the
murders is not known. One of the mur
derers has since been captured and confessed
the murder of one of the family but says
the murder of the others was perpetrated
by his accomplice, one Jacob Gaunter, who
is still at large.
TENNESSEE ON TIIE RIGHTS OF REB
ELS.
In the Tennessee Legislature the House on
the 13th inst., by a vote of 41 to 15 passed
a bill disfranchising those who participated
in the rebellion and prohibiting them from
holding office. The Union men of Tennes
see,from actual contact with rebels, evidently
understand how far they are to be trusted
and what kind of treatment they require.
We would commend the action of the peo
ple of his own state to President Johnson;
he and his friends may gather some useful
hints on Reconstruction therefrom.
058=>The Legislature adjourned on the
12th inst. Hon. Louis W. Hall was elected
speaker of the Senate before the adjourn
ment of that body in accordance with the
usual custom. This is a very high compli
ment paid to Mr. Hall as it is the second or
third time that he has been thus signally
honored by his brother Senators. A vast
amount of Legislation was passed at this
session. We shall publish all the special
enactments for this county as soon as wc
are favored with them.

Bold Bank Bobbery.—Army Mortality
During the War.
NEW YORK, April 12, —Avery bold rob
bery occurred in the Sub-Treasury building
yesterday. Mr. Condeii, the messenger of
the Bank of America, collected a gold certifi
cate for five thousand dollars, and about four
thousand dollars in currency, at the cashier's
desk. He theu went to another part of the
building to see one of the clerk s but not
finding him, proceeded to the Post office to
i)ut some letters in the mail, and on his way
>ack to the bank stopped at the Sub-Treasu
ry again. On entering the Piue street door
a strange man rushed past him and slam
med the door violently in Coudell's iaoe,
which knocked him senseless and threw him
into a fit. This man then rifled his pockets
of the money, and when a crowd had collec
ted, the same party said he was trying to
find something to identify the fallen man.
In the confusion, the robber made his escape
and the Messenger was taken to the hospi
tal, where lie now lies insensible.
Statistics, mercantile and marine, show a
gratifying increase in American shipping.
There are in the foreign trade from this port
a'one nifle hundred and six American vessels
exclusive of California and Havana steamers
with an aggregate tonnage of 624,800.
The Provost Marshal General has comple
ted a careful compilation from the muster
rolls of all the deaths in battle, from wounds
and from disease, in every regiment and
company of every loyal State from the begin
ning to the close of the war. From it, it
appears that 280,737 officers and men have
lost their lives in the service. Of this num
ber 5,220 commissioned officers, and 90,886
enlisted men have been killed in action or
died of wounds, while 2,321 commissioned
efficers and 182,329 enlisted men have died
of disease, or in a few cases from accident.

Senator from Indiana.''
Circular Letter from the President.
The President has jnst issued the follow
ing circular to heads of departments in ref
erence to appointments to office:
It is eminently right and proper that the ;
Government of the United States should
give earnest and substantial evidence of the
just appreciation of the services of the
patriotic men who when the life of the na
tion was imperilled, entered the arrav and
navy to preserve the integrity of the Union,
defend the Government and maintain and
perpetuate unimpaired its free institutions.
It is therefore directed —First. That in
appointments to office in the several execu
tive departments oftheFedcral Government
and the various branches of the public ser
vice connected with said departments, pre
ference shall be given to such meritorious
and honorably discharged soldiers and sail
lors, particularly those who have been disa
bled by wounds received or diseases contrac
ted in the line of duty, as may possess the
proper qualifications.
Setxmd. That in all promotions in said
departments and the several branches of the
public service connected therewith such per
sons shall have preference when equally
eligible and qualified, over those who have
not faithfully and honorably served in the
laud or naval forces of the Uuited States.

Reimbursement of Pennsylvania.
WASHINGTON, April 10, 1866.
The Senate to day passed the bill just as
it came from the Ilouse, to reimburse the
State of Pennsylvania for the expenses in
calling her militia into service during the in -
vasion in 1863. The bill appropriates eight
hundred thousand dollars. Governor Cur
tin was on the floor of the Senate when the
bill was passed, and thanked those Senators
who so promptly voted for the measure.
Among the evidence in possession of the
Bureau of Public Justice, onjwhich Congress
has called for information, is an autograph
letter of Davis favoring the assassination of
the President, and written by him after
Booth luid informed him that the plan to
kidnap the President had to be abandoned
as impracticable. The records of the secret
service of the Confederacy have also been
procured bv General L C. Baker, and will
throw much light upon many of their infa
mous schemes.
