It may also be found in the Legal Intelligencer of March IR, 184, page 92. In the same copy of the Age is a carefully pre pared eulogy of the judge and this opinion, i wbich is the following: "Judge SHARSWOOD reasons upon and decides the case as if he were some lofty spirit sitting far above and out of the contentions and strifes of the world." Will not the holders of greenbacks and Govern ment bonds consider the judge as quite too eleva ted andetherial for such earthly honors as a seat on the Supreme Bench ? igii i i i DESERTERS. At the October election of 186fi the votes of Deserters were rejected by several ol the election Boards of this County. These Wes tern and Canadian patriots grew indignant and the Democratic Lawyers of Bedford County and of the whole Judicial District were sorely vexed at this reduction of their party vote. They forthwith commenced a series of suits in Court against the Election Boards of East Providence, Monroe, Harri son, Union and other Districts, Four of these cases were down for trial at the Sep tember term of our court. Only one case, however, was reached and tried. The other three were continued. The case of John 11. Koontz vs. Ritchcy, Manspcakcr and Mellott, Election officers of East Providence township was fully tried and decided. The Deserter and his friends rallied in full force. The Democracy of the Bedford and Cham bersburg Bars were duly on hand to defend the conduct of their patriotic brother and convince the Court that he still possessed all the requisites of a good citizen, and especially the necessary qualfications of a genuine and true blue Democrat. Indeed they were not satisfied to stop here. But they were bent on inflicting severe penalties, in the shape of damages, upon the abolition officers of East Providence. The case was tried on Saturday nnd after an absence of nearly five minutes the jury returned with a ver dict for the Defendants the Abolitionists aforesaid. The Deserter obtains the proud satisfaction of paying the costs for the lesson he has learned. His Attorneys asked the Court to pronounce the law of Congress, which dis franchises Deserters, unconstitutional Tins the Court refused to do, but on the contra ry informed the learned gentlemen that the Supreme Court of the State had already de clared mat tnc law was oousitcuilonal. They then asked the Court to declare as unconstitutional the Act of Assembly of Pennsylvania of 18G6, which provides the plan and means, whereby the election offi cers may carry out the law of Congress, disfranchising Deserters. Again the Court refused to comply with their request, on the contrary, the Judge informed them that they might go to the Supreme Court for a decision of that question ; and further that it would be a shame and a disgrace in any civilized or Christian community to allow election officers to be punished for obeying the plain provisions of the law. Will they take their case to the Supreme Court? Will they try the other cases? Will they ever bring any more suits? Won't the sheriff publish the law? Will Democratic Election Boards continue to disobey the law and receive the votes of De serters? Time will make all things right. We shall see. CASE or KOONTZ T RITCIIEY et nl. The Disfranchisement of Deserters, Every one will remember what a howl our Copperhead neighbors set up this time last year about Deserters not being allowed to vote. They said it was unconstitutional. Every thing with theru has been unconstitu tional for the last six years. They called upon their men to vote in spite of the law. They called upon election officers in town ships where they had the hoards to disre. gardthe law; and they colonized their Deser ters into townships where they knew the election boards would disregard the law and receive the votes. Mr. Wallace, the Chair man of their State Committee, issued a se cret circular on the subject. They threat ened the election officers with suits if they refused the votes. The result of all this was that they polled some two hundred De serter votes in Bedford County, and after the election, tc make themselves as good as their words, they brought eleven suits against as many different election boards in tho several Republican townships of this county. Four of these cases were put at issue and for trial at the Court last week, and one, the case of Koontz vs Ritchey n /. of East Providence Twp, was tried as a test case. The counsel for the plaintiff fairly begged the Court to chargo on tho consti- tutionality of the law. But His Honor, Judgc King, decided that that was not in the case; that election boards were bound *to obey the law as they found it on the statute book. The Jury was not out over FIVE MINUTES when they came in and rendered a verdict FOR THE DEFENDANTS. | The Democratic Lawyers who tried this case for the plaintiff (of whom wai Mr. : Sharpe of Chambersburg,) speedily wilted when the facta and the law were fully be fore tho court and the Jury. They had not the hardihood to assert vigorously that they were entitled to a verdict. It is greatly to be hoped that our Copperhead opponents will hereafter keep their Deserters away from the polls, and not further consume the time of the courts with their unprofitable suits. __________________ WHAT'S IN A NAME. For years the word Democrcay has been used as a mere catch word of party. Its meaning, a Government of the People, has been utterly perverted. Instead of being a government of the People, three or four hundred thousand slave-holding aristocrats, who despised the People as the mere mud sills of society, domineered and controlled pretty much as they pleased a nation of twenty-five millions. And when the People dared to speak out and elect a President of their own, these same aristocrats got up a great rebellion and a terribly bloody war. And yet this sham democracy, which has been for years a mere falsehood aud delu sion, a power of Darkness which had stolen the livery of Heaven to serve the Devil in, yet leads by the mere charm of the name many good men and true, who are deceived by designing leaders and office seekers. The spurious Democracy of the present day of which Buchanan, and Brockenridge, and Andrew Johnson and Jeff. Davis, aro the representatives and exponents, bears no more resemblance to the Democracy of Jef ferson and Madison and Jackson than the Devil does to an Angel of Light. In the judgment and opinion of Jefferson and Mad ison, slavery was an evil speedily to be done away with. Madison would not have the word slave in tho Constitution. And in the judgment of Jackson, a nullifier. much more a secessionist, ought to be hung. He expressed his regret, and mentioned it as the one great mistake of his administration, that he had not hung John C. Calhoun. Whilst modern Democracy fostered and en couraged slavery, and wanted to make it perpetual and introduce it into all the terri tories. And modern Democracy originated and advocated the doctrine of no-eoercion, and would have permitted state after state to secede until all were gone, if they had pleased to go. And yet these miserable copperheads have the assurance to call them selves Democrats! THE COPPERHEAD LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES. The Legislative Conference of the oppo sition in this Legislative District, assembled • in this place, on the lid inst. and nominated Hon. William P. Schell and Hiram Findley, | for Assembly. These gentlemen are well ! known in this county. Schell has represen- j ted his party a number of times in the i House and served one term in the Senate. Mr. Findley is the standing candidate in j Somerset. These individuals have been , kindly set up to be very cleverly knocked j down. They arc very clever fellows, and if I Copperheads were the winning nags, we don't know any of the " animiles" that we would sooner see win than these same two hearties. But since that don't occur in this "neck o' woods" we are happy to con gratulate them upon their nomination, the only success likely to await them in this trial i of speed. Messrs Richards and Weller j have gained the confidence of the honest masses, and no gammon or mis-represopta- | tion will deter them from re-electing them, i DOES the Gazette want to know whether i we are in favor of Negro Suffrage? THE Gazette asks "who is Sheridan?" We refer it to one Jubal A. Early. Per haps he can answer the question. IF you wanf greenbacks to be a legal ten der for all debts contracted during the war, vote for Hon. Henry W. Williams for Su preme Judge and not for Judge Sharswood. THE Gazette has published Judge Shars wood's opinion on the constitutionality of the greenbacks, will it now publish the let ters of Gens. Longstreet, Buckner, and Jeff. Thompson? ANDREW JOHNSON is a candidate for the Copperhead nomination for President. What say ye, admirers of Jeff? Can you set Jefferson aside for Andy? That will be hard to do. THE Republicans will secure the next As sociate Judges in this county, in all proba bility, since the Cops, have come to the con clusion that they are opposed to political judges. SOLDIERS, while you were in the field imperilling your lives for your country, Judge Sharswood was at home endeavoring to crush the Government by declaring its currency unconstitutional. Will you vote for him? SOMETIMES some would-be-very-smart people do some very stupid things. For in stance: the Copperhead Attorneys who forced a decision of the Court, sustaining tho law disfranchising Deserters, in the face of an election. THE Gazette said something about Deser ters a week or two ago. That class of stock was pretty good then. We suppose it has heard of a certain case against the election Board of East Providence lately? Deserter stock is below par at present. THE Cops, hold up their hands in holy horror at the idea of the Republicans en deavoring to elect judges to the Supreme bench whose opinions accord with the views of a majority of the people on political ques tiogs. They never elect political judges! THE most crest-fallen set of gentry that it has been our fortune to witness for many months was the Cops, who had charge of the deserter case in Court on last Saturday. The defeat of Waterloo or Bull Run was nothing in comparison to it. They looked as if "they had been shot at and missed." THE Copperheads are determined to be satisfied with anything in opposition "to the ltepublicans. When Helm, a confirmed, conscientious rebel, is elected Governor of Kentucky, they swing their hats and cheer themselves hoarse over the "victory" as ; they term it; and again, when Height, a : conscientious and confirmed Unionist, who ! acted with the Republicans during the war, is elected Governor of California, they set !up the same vociferous cheering. They would do the same for Jeff. Davis or his ! Satanic majesty, or any other of the wor j thies now opposing Republicanism. THE opinion of Judge Sharswood in the i case of Borie vs. Trott, where that original i secessionist undertakes to wipe out the ob ligations of the United States Government by declaring them unconstitutional, has been published in the Gazette. If any one supposes that we have misquoted it, let htm read for himself. ONE of the resolutions of the Copperhead meeting deplores the idea that "the Su j prerne Court shall bo placed in accordance with the political sentiments of the ma jority;" as if those hypocrites were not tuov j ing hoaven and earth to elect Sharswood for i the very purpose of keeping that body in i accordance with their infamous sentiments. j PATRIOT, please remember 1f Judge Sharswood bad been on the Supreme boucli with the two Copperheads already there, the draft would never have been sustained, the bounty and cuirency laws would have b e en declared unconstitutional and the re bellion would have proved a success instead of a failure. THE Copperheads aro talking about leg islative reform. Do they remember the Democratic Legislature of 1852 and 1853? They talk of reform, indeed! we would just as soon think of hearing that they had re nounced Jeff. Davis and his fricftds. REDUCTION or THE STATE I)EHT. It is well known that as long as the Cop perheads were in power the State debt was steadily increasing, and the debt had reached the enormous sum of FORTY ONE MIL LION OF DOLLARS when JAMES POL LOCK was elected Governor of the State, and the Republican Union party obtained a majority in both houses of the Legislature. It is also well known that Republicans had been advocating the sale of the public works, which were so corruptly managed by the leaders of the Democratic party that the State was losing nearly ONE MII.UON OF DOLLARS every year. Gov. POLLOCK, us ing all his influence with the legislature finally secured the passage of a bill ordering the public works to he sold at public sale, and they were finally sold for seven and a half millions of dollars. From that day the State debt has been steadily decreasing un der Republican Governors and State legis latures. ONE MILLION SEVEN HJNDRED AND NINETY FOUR THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR DOLLARS ANI) FIFTY CENTS of this sum has been paid this year by Gov. GEARY, State Treasurer KEMBLF,, and Au ditor General IIAHTRANKT, all prominent and able Republicans, and that without ; collecting ONE SINGLE DOLLAR from the far- J rncr and mechanic in the shape of on hlo I Ileal Estate. ! Such are the practical results of a llepub | liean State Administration and Legislature, i The payment of such large sums in one year | is a sufficient contradiction of all the Cop | pcrhcad slanders heaped upon Republican I government. It must also be remembered that during I the past six years the State of Pennsylvania j has been compelled to incur large expendi | t.ures in the equipment and forwarding of troops, for which three millions of dollars were appropriated. This amount has also been repaid by the same party. The Cop perheads ol the North were directly re sponsible for this additional expenditure, as they created the war under James liu j elianan, and encouraged it by their sympa j thy with the South. Tiny, and they alone, are responsible for the State and National dehts crafted by the war. We say again, taxpayers remember that | under the administration of Gov. Geary the State debt has been reduced $1,794,644 50 IN ONE YEAR! Remember this on the sec ond Tuesday of October next.— Jlanishurg Telegraph. RAPID IMIORATION. —A steady stream of imigration is pouring into the United States with unabated rapidity. The arrivals from Ireland, especially, ase unusually large, not withstanding the active demand for labor in that country. The dissatisfied rebels who, after the termination of the war, went to Mexico and Brazil, are also returning as rap idly as possible to their former homes. These significant facts prove that the com plaints of "tyranny," "despotism," "mis ery," and "distress," with which Copper head journals are filled, have little or no foundation in fact; and that, despite the high taxes caused by the rebellion, Amer ica still remains one of the most prosperous countries on the globe. We would not con tinue to have an annual influx of hundreds of thousands of emigrants if many oppor tunities for employment were not open, and if this country was not found by its new citizens to industrious toilers richer rewards than Europe. We have still room for mil lions more of industrious men and women, and every new cargo of this precious freight at once affords a guarantee of increased prosperity by strengthening our industrial forces, and gives a proof of the practical appreciation of the superior advantages en joyed by the citizens of the United States. —Press. OFTEN the Democrats urge, with an air of triumphant superiority, that Judge Williams is an unknown man in Philadel phia, while every one lias heard of Judge Sharswood. This may be true outside of the legal profession. Judge Williams, whose opinions afe so rarely reversed, is well known, however, to the lawyers of every county and to the entire judiciary of Oennsylvania, who have so often fallen back on his decisions as authority. And across the Alleglianies the case is entirely different. There no one has ever heard a solttary item about Mr. Sharswood or of him, while Williams is a household word, and a word that at tho next election will he tulisuiunie. —l\css. AMNESTY TOBEBELS. The following is the late pardon procla mation, issued Dy tho President on the 9th: By the President of the I riitod States, A PROCLAMATION. Whereas, In the mouth of July, Anno Domini 1861, the two Houses of Congress, with extraordinary unanimity, solemnly de clared "that the war then existing was not waged on the part of the Government m any spirit of oppression, not tor any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of the States, but to defend aud maintain the supremacy ot the Constitution and to preserve the In ion with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired, and that as goon as these objects should be accomplished the war ought to cease;" and whereas, the President of the United States, on the eighth day of December, Anno Domini 1863, and on the twenty sixth day of March, Anno Domini 1864, did with the objects of suppressing the then existing rebellion, of inducing all persons to return to their loy alty, and of restoring the authority of the United States issue proclamations ottering amnesty and pardon to all persons who had directly or indirectly participated in the then existing rebellion, except as in those proclamations was specified and reserved,• and whereas, the President of the United States did on the twenty ninth day of May, Anno Domini 1865, issue a further procla mation with the same objects before men tioned, and to the end that the authority of the Government of the United States might be restored, ajd that peace, order, and free dom might beesfablished, and the President did, by the sail last mentioned proclamation, proclaim and declare that he thereby gran tod to all persons who had directly or in directly participated in the then existing re bellion, except as therein elccptcd, amnesty and pardon, with restoration of all rights of property except as to slaves, and except in certain cases Nlierc legal proceedings had been institutid, but upon condition that such persons should take and subscribe an oath therein prescribed, which oath should be registered for permanent preservation; and whereag, in and by the said last men tioned proclamation of the twenty ninth day of May, Anno Domini 1865, fourteen exten sive classes of persons, herein specially de scribed, were altogether excepted and exclu ded from the benefits thereof; and whereas, the President of the United States did, on the second day of April, Anno Domini 1806, issue a proclamation declaring that the in direction was at an end, and was thence forth to be so regarded: and whereas, there now exists no organized armed resistance of misguided citizens or others to the authority of the United Slates, in the States of Geor gia, South Carolina, Virginia, North Caro lina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Ar kansas, Missipni, Florida, and Texas, and the laws can he sustained and enforced therein by the proper civil authority, State or Federal, and the people of said States are well and loyally disposed, and have conform ed, or if permitted to do so will conform, in their legislation to the condition of affairs growing out of the amendment to the Con stitution of the United States prohibiting slavery within the limits and jurisdiction of the United States; and whereas, there no longer exists any reasonable ground to ap prenend within the States which were invol ved in the late rebellion anv renewal thereof, or any unlawful resistance by the people of j said States to the Constitution and laws of the United States; and whereas, largo stan ding armies, military occupation, martial law. military tribunals, and the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus and the right of trial by jury, are in time of peace dangerou- to public-liberty, incompati ble with the individual rights of the citizen, contrary to the genius and spirit of our free institutions ana exhaustive of the national resources, and ought not therefore to be sanctioned or allowed, except in cases of ac tual for repelling invasion or sup pi earing insurrection or rebellion; and whereas, a retaliatory or vindictive policy, attended by unnecessary disqualifications, pains, penalties, confiscations, and disfran chisements, now as nlways, could only tend to hinder roconciliation among the people and national restoration, while it must se riously embarrass, obstruct, and repress popular energies and national industry and enterprise; and whereas, for these reasons it is now deemed essential to the public wel fare, and to the more perfect restoration of constitutional law and order, that the said last mentioned proclamaiion so aforesaid, issued on the twenty-ninth day of May, Anno Domini 1565, should he modified, and that the full and beneficent pardon conceded thereby should he opened and further exten ded to a large number of the persons who by its aforesaid exceptions have been hitherto excluded from executive cieroency: Now, therefore, be it known that I, An drew Johnson, President of the United iStates, do hereby proclaim and declare that the full pardon described in the said procla mation of the twenty-ninth of May, Anno Domini Ishall henceforth be opened and extended to all persons who, directly or indirectly, participated in the late rebellion, with the restoration of all privileges, im munities, and rights of property, except as to property with regard to slaves, and ex cept in eases of legal proceedings under the laws of the United States: hut upon this condition, nevertheless: That every such person who shall seek to avail himself of 1 this proclamation shall take and subscribe the following oath, and .-hall cause the same to he registered for permanent preservation, in the same manner and with the same effect as with the oath prescribed in the said proclamation of the 29th day of May, 1865, namely: "I, ,do solemnly swear (or affirm), in the presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect, and defend the I onsiitution of the United States and the uiion of States thereunder, and that I will it like manner abide by and faith fully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the late re bellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves. So help me God." The folloviog persons ind no others are cxelu led from the beuefits of this procla mation and of the said proclamation of the 29th day of May, 1865, namely : First. Tin chief or pretended chief exec utive officers, including the President, the Vice President, and all heads of departments of the prete ided Confederate or Rebel Gov ernment, and all who were agents theieof in foreign Slates and countries, and all who held or pretended to hold, in the service of the said pretended Confederate Govern ment, a military rank or title above the grade of brigadier general, or naval rank or title above that of captain, and all who were or pretended to be Governors of States, while luaintiining, abbetting or submitting to, and acquiescing in the rebellion. Secotul. All persons who in any way treated otheiwise than as lawful prisoners of war persons who, in any capacity, were employed or engaged in the military or na vall service of the United States. Third. AD persons who, at the time they may seek to obtain the benefits of this proc lamation, are actually in civil, military, or naval confinement or custody, or legally held to bail, either before or after convic tion; and all persons who were engaged, directly or indirectly, in the assassination of the late President of the United States, or : .n any plot or conspiracy in any manor therewith connected. In testimony whereof, I have signed those presents with my hand, and have caused tbe sea! of the United States to be there unto affixed.

It is stated that the membership of the Good Tem plars of that progressive State now approxi mates twenty eight thousand. THE POSTAL MONEY ORDER SYSTEM adopted by the Government, has proved a great suc cess, so much "o as to induce the authorities to establish some nine hundred additional offices through which remittances can be made under its provisions. JCST now the cause of progress is in the ascendant. North Germany has been carried by tho Liberals. The people of England have fought through their reform, or bill for representation, and Andrew Johnsou is rapidly preparing the public mind for another step forward in this country. TELEGRAPHIC correspondence from Wash ington confirms the statements of the speedy withdrawal or removal of Grant from the Cabinet. Who will be his successor is not yet certain. The War Office goes begging at the hands of Andrew Johnson. Even a Steedman scruples to accept it. CANBY follows in the footsteps of pickles. He decLres all the orders of that officer to be in force, thus bringing up again the very issue on which his predecessor was removed. Thomas and Hancock severally decline repor ting at New Orleans. The President is ballled afresh in bis parricidal machinations. MR. BAYARJ* TAYLOR is at present in Gotha, Germany, where he owns a house. One or two Americans are his guests. He is at work on his own translation of Goethe's Faust, and is also engaged on a series of pa pers called "The By-Ways of Europe," which are to appear in the Atlantic shortly. THOSE MEMBERS of the Washington bar who professed to be outraged at the dismissal of the bully and blackguard Bradley from that bar, are not likely to come to a definite understanding as to the best means to be adopted to have him returned, as they have met several times and adjourned without agreeing on a plan of action. Bradley ought never to be allowed to practice before Judge Fisher. VERMONT speaks to the President, telling biiu he is wrong if not criminally unjust in his policy. No ruler ever received so many warnings and as much instruction from the ncople he governs as Andrew Johnson. When the day of his pnuishment arrives for having violated the obligations resting, on hira, Andrew Johnsou will not have a single I extenuating fact to plead in his favor.

Their candidates are the men who formerly opposed all their old principles. They ac cept as leaders old anti-Jackson hacks and broken down "Old Line" Whigs. Of course while acknowledging such men as their leader*, the Copperhead Democracy must endorse th<- doctrines to which such demagogues have clung for year.-, and thereby sting themselves to death. Truly the road of the transgressor is hard. Thk severest rebuke Andrew Johnson has yet received is that, given him by a Mr. Lang gton, a colored orator of Ohio, who has gained much celebrity not only as an advocate of his race, but as a vindicator of his country. The President desired to use this man to hu miliate Den. Howard, Chief of the Freed men's Bureau. Langston, as our readers know, was sent for and offered this position; but he was too honest and patriotic to allow himself to be used bv a had man as an instru ment to humiliate a good man. The President finds it as difficult for him to manage General Grant as General Lee did, and means soon to get him out of the War Office. Having sixty days in which to work unhindered by Congress, lie shows a disposition to u-e his opportunity to the utmost. Mit. Secretary Seward, it seems, is pro fessing renewed regard for civil liberty and the Republican party. For two years past he has not been wont to put those two things in conjunction.
