BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, APKIL 8, 11GO
THE XVth AMENDMENT;
On the 30th ult., the Fifteenth Amend
ment became a part of the Constitution ot
the United States, and the citizenship of
the colored man was officially proclaimed.
Notwithstanding the bitter opposition of
the Democracy to this measure, the smroth
tongued gentry of the coffe-pot persuasion
are on the track of the colored voters with
all tbeir hollow arguments and wicked ma
chinations in the hope of beguiling tbeui
into the support of their tickets. Tfco same
deceitful artifices with which they attempt
ed to mislead the soldiers of the war a few
years ago, and which were so ignomioiousiy
condemned at that time, are again brought
forth for this occasion, and runners are al
ready in the field scattering Democratic lit
erature in every direction This was ex
pected aDd predicted long ago. I c is very
natural for a condemned criminal to accept
the punishment lie can t possibly avoid;
and as we believe in Nature, wc don't think
it would be very natural for the colored
voters, who are indebted to the Republican
party for rescuing their raee from slavery
and putting the ballot in their bands, to en
tirely ignore the source of their future
happiness and prosperity at the hands of
the above culprits. There are between nine
and ten thousand voters in this State, and
it is very probable that ninc-ten'.hs of these
will vote the Republican ticket, which will
sjcure its success beyond a peradventuve.
Undoubtedly the Democratic party in this 1
State is dead. They may make a great j
noise and fuss for a little while, but we have
the consolation that thunder don t kill.
After the mists of the battle of next Octo
ber shall have cleared away, we will expect
to sec these slimy snakes re-cnact the
scenes of eighteen sixty-two and three, and ,
hunt their holes in dismal caverns. Mean- ;
while the Republican party will have risen |
in all its grandeur, aud in the faith of the
American Nation proclaim to the world,
that America is in deed and in truth, the
land of the free and the home of the brave.
I FEACEF? L INVASION.
Poor Mexico, torn and distracted with
i ivil feud- and periodical revolutions, has
ceased to be looked upon with a covetous
eye by any other nation. The sad fate of
Maximilain seems to have satisfied Euro- j
pean Courts that even if they cannot govern j
themselves, the Mexican people will tolerate j
BO foreign usurper. It has remained for •
one of the heroes of our own war to devise j
a new and peaceful scheme for the redemp- i
lion of Mexico from her chronic condition ;
•>f anarchy. General Roieeraus, seeing the 1
-canity of the means of transportation, came |
to the conclusion that money and railroads !
were two great wants in the way of the sue- !
©e-sful development of the latent wealth of j
Mexico, and the eMabli-hment of a stable i
government. W itli this object in view he :
asks the Congress of the United States for ;
the privilege of organizing a railroad com- !
pany and a banking company under a olter
ter from the United States, and armed with |
these peaceful weapons, proposes to at
tempt the great work of redeeming Mexico
from poverty aud misrule. We.hope Con
gress will promptly grant his request. If
the General succeeds in his enterprise he
will make a conquest that will bring bim
greener and more lasting laurels than bis
most brilliant military exploits. Yankee
nergy, hrain3 and capital will soon work !
wonders, and we would not be surprised, a i
few years hence, to see Mexico, peaceful and j
prosperous, knocking at the doors of Con ;
cre-s and asking to be taken into the sister- I
hood of States whence her true friends have {
always come. IV e regard Roseerau-' scheme
as promising greater re- dt- and greater
blessings for Mexico than any other yet at- i
tempted, and sincerely wish the gallant
General the most abundant success in his i
philanthropic undertaking.
PRINCE PIERRE BONAPARTE, the uiur
. rer of * ietor Noir, is reported to be hom
ing to the 1 nited f - ites. \\ c have enough
-prigs of royalty here now. who have been
banished for cv' uies that should have brought
them to the gallows or to prison for life.
We h ipe the criminal scions of royal houses
will be kept at borne hereafter. It is about
time our people made a vigorous protest
sgainst being made a penal colony lor Eu
rope, whether the convicts be ef royal or
c mimon stock.
WITH a'L his love of one-min power, the
Emperor Napoleon just now presents the
remarkable spectacle of being more liberal
than his libera! Cabinet. Uo wishes to
submit the new order of things to a vote of
the people, but his ministers oppose the
discussion of the matter at all. We have
no donbt it is only a skilful blind. Louis
Napoleon will only yield the reins when he !
can r.;> longer hold them.
-
THE Legislature adjourned yesterday. It
i> well. That counts one good act that
meets with general approval. The past I
session, thanks to independent Republican
criticism, has been an improvement on pre
vious ones, but there is still abundant room
for improvement.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ]
LETTER FROM UAKKISBI.K(;.
U.VtWISBt RG, Pa.. April 1, 1870.
THE DIAMOND-WATT
c uicsted election case, in the Senate, has
not yet c "s:d, though all the evidence is
expected to be in to-uiorrow The testi
money taken is very voluminous, and makes
over (our hundred printed pages. The final
h-gmceut will prabahly take place on Moo
ti iy. Ine counsel for the Republican sitting
ST* 3lr - are Hon. Lewis VV
Ball of Hartlsburg, au d late State Senator
from the Hair district, and a member of the
v ivil I ode ( ommission, and J. Alexander
Simpson. Esq., of Philadelphia. Mr. Dia
mond, tin Democratic contestant, has for
his counsel lewis C. Casridy, Esq., of
1 ti adelpbia, and has retained on the final
argument, Hon. Benjamin H. Brewster, late
Attorney General. The closeness of the
>'-■ n.ite, politically, and doubt there is as to
which party will have the majority next
winter, ha- - spurred both sides in this oon
t it to unusual exertions. Both sides feel
confident they have a strong case, but the
probabilities arc that Mr. Watt will retain
his seat.
HASTY LEGISLATION.
As the session is about to close legislation
is put through with a celerity that is mar
v clous. In most cases the titles ouly of bill
are read, and they are sent "kiting" through
without so mudb as an examination by a
committee. Were it not for tbe cheek of
the Executive veto, the character of the
legislation engrafted upon the laws of the
Common wealth would often be of a mort.
outrageous description. During the last
days of the cession the Legislature sends to j
the Governor a mass of bills to pass upon of
ell characters and kinds sufficient in number i
to give hiui almost constant employment
during the remainder of the year in their
examination. Tbe present year more than
ever demonstrates the necessity of a con
stitutiona! provision prohibiting the passage
of local tilis when a genera! one can be
framed to meet the requirements.
THE GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL
has passed both branches of the Legislature
and is now in tbe bands of a conference com
mittee of the two Houses. The Senate has
quite materially reduced the bill from what
it was when it passed the other House, and
if the conference committee perform their
work properly 'he appropriation- - made the
prt sent s - es.-ion will probably be much more
satisfactory to the people generally than
those made for some years past.
THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
of the Senate have as yet made uo report of
the results of their investigations into the
affaire of the State Treasury. They will
likely make a report the fir3t of next week,
but as the facts developed in the investiga
| tion have been very thoroughly di-ous-cii
a I read - . What the committee may have to
say will make but little difference to anybody.
The whole thing ha 3 been a stupendous
farce from beginoirg to end, and has been
generally so regarded, although it is said
that some members of the committee fail
' to sec its absurdity.
THE BORDER CLAIM
bill has been indefinitely postponed in the
House by a large majority. The lateness
of the ses.-ion before it was reached pre
ventod the full aud fair di-cu-sion to which
the measure was entitled, and no doubt con
tributed much to its defeat. The heavy
drains that have been made upon the
Treasury by other legislation also bad its
share in placing the bill in an unfavorable
light. It will, of coarse, not be revived
| arain this session.
THE SINKING FCND.
A bill has passed the 'Senate with only
I two negative votes, and will probably pa--
the House, providing that hereafter when
( the receipts of tbe State Treasury, exclusive
! of the sinking fund, shall not be sufficient
ito pay current and ordinary expenses, it
' shall be lawful for the State Treasurer to
j devote such funds ao may bo in tbe sinking
; fjnJ other than those placed there by thc
| Constitution to the payment of such ex
| pense-, and that the decisions of the Su
| preme Court requiring payment of the iu
j U rcst on the Stato debt contracted prior to
j I-G2, iu gold is the supreme law of the laud,
I anything in the laws of Pennsylvania to the
contrary not-withstanding. The Commis
sioners of the sinking fund are also required
to purchase for redemption such amounts of
State loans, or certificates of indebtednes
as tha condition of the sinking fund may
justtfy purchasing such loans as first fall due
as far as practicable.

tngton were considered. On motion, it was
I ordered that when the Senate adjoQrn, it be

In the Iloasc. the Tariff question was
taken up and discussed for some time. Tbis
is a tedious question, and as it appears to
have the misfortune of being brought up
when there is no time to devote to it, it may
be some time before it is diapered of. There j
appears to be great difference >f opinion wn j
almost every point touched, and the d s-}
im-ion* vViii-eqhent ■ occupy H the time j
and make little progress toward r.ctJOtoipliah
ing anything.

THE WHOLESALE trade of Chicago during
the past year omounted to the elever sum
of four hundred and sixteen millions, while
the sum total of its manufactures footed up
loss than sixty millions These facts, which
have considerably annoyed the good citizens
of that thriving oily, have aroused a spirit
of Jetarinination which augurs well for the
interests of manufacturing in the future.
Movements are already on foot to increase
manufacturing facilities, and as the prinei
pa! drawback ha* been the want of'a full
slippfv of good coal, this difficulty It is pro
posed to n medy by the immediate comple

TKLASI'KEU SPINNER reports that about
three hundred dollars in counterfeit curren
cy is received daily at the Treasury Depart
ment. These counterfeits have tube thrown
out by lady counters employed for the pur
pose. A regulation of the Department re
quires that, for every counterfeit note pass
ed over, an equal amount shall he deducted
from the pav of the person counting it, but
such instances are said to be very rare, la
dies seldom failing to detect spurious notes
at a glance.
IT IS stated that smutty wheat can be made
into good and wholesome flour by adding
one quart of finely pulverized air-s!aekod
lime to each eigiit bushels of grain, through
ly mixing it before it passes through the
cleaning apparatus of theorist-mill previous
to grinding. The lime seems to cut the
smut, which adheres to the fuzzy end of the
wheat, and both are blown out with other
dust and dirt.
A CINCINNATI lady who recently found
the gas escaping in bur servant's chamber,
asked her it* she had blown it out instead of
turning it off, and was told that she "was
not BO green as all that; she had only turned
it on again a little that it would be easier
lighted in the mornin."
A sit ART old Western lady being called
into court as a witness, grew impatient at
the question put to her. and told tlic Judge
that she wouid quit the stand, for he was
"raly one of the most inquisitive old gentle
men she had ever seen."

SEWING M A C HINEB.
The following ate selected from thousands
of testimonials of similar character, as ex
pressing the reasons for the preference for
the GKOVEB A BAKER Machines over all
others.
a * "I like the (irover A: Baker Machine,
in the first plaae, because, if I had any other
I should still want a (irover k Baker; and,
having a Grover A Baker, it answers the pur
pose of all the rest. It does a greater variety
of work and it is easier to learn than any oth
er." — Mrs. J. C. Cruly (Jenny June.)
* * "I have bad several years' experi
ence with a Grover A Baker Machine, which
has given me great satisfaction. 1 think the
Grover A Baker Machine is more easily roan
aged, arid less liable to get out of order. 1
prefer the Grover A Baker, decidedly."—
Mrs. Dr. Watts, Mew York.
* * "I have bad one iu my family for
gome two years; and from what I know of its
workings, and from the testimony of many of
my friends who use the same, I can hardly
see bow anything could be more complete or
give better satisfaction."— Mrs. (Jen Grant.
* * "I believe it to be the best, all things
considered, of any that 1 have known. It is
very simple and easily learned; the sewing
from the ordinary spoota is a great advati
tage, the stick is entirely reliable; it does or
namental work beautifully: it is not liable to
get out of order.'' — Mrs. A. M. Spooner, 36
Bond Street , Brooklyn.
1 ° "I am acquainted with the work of
the principal machines; and I prefer ibe Gro
ver A Baker to thein all, because I consider
the stitcb more elastic. I have work now in
the house which was done nine years ago,
which is still good." — Mrs. Dr. McCready,
' So. 43 Bast -3d street , Sew York.
* "More than two-thirds of all tho
sowing done in my family for the last two
years has been done by Grover A Baker's
Machine, and I never had a garment rip or i
need mending, except those rents which
frolicsome boys will make in whole cloth. It
| is in my opinion by far the most valuable of
i any T have tried."— Mrs. Henry Ward
| Betchtr.
* * "The Grover A Baker Sewing Ma
chine has rendered in every respect the most
perfect satisfaction. It combines so niany
advantages with beauty of execution and
economy in price that it is a necessity in ev
ery household."— Mrs. Governor Geary, liar
risburgh, Da.
* * "I have had the Grover A Baker
Machine for ten or twelve years in constant
use in my house. I have seen and known
every kind ol family sewing, both personal
and household, accomplished upon the Gro
ver A Baker Machine to the entire satisfac
tion of all who wertf concerned." — llcv. Ste
phen H. Tyng. —"
* * "I find the Grover A Baker stitch
• will wear as long as the garments do—out
wear the garment, in fact. The stitch will
not break on bias seams, when stretched, as
others do; and neither does it draw the work."
Mrs. Dr. Whiting, 1 Bast -ith street, Sew
York.
* ' "We have a Grover A Baker Sewing
Machine for seven years in constant use. i
hemming, felling, tucking, and everything i
that the fingers can do. It is preferred over
all others on account of its durability of work,
elasticity and strength of stitch, ease of move
ment, and simplicity of construction."— .Yrs.
General Buel.
* * "There could be no greater com
fort in a family than a Grover & Baker Sew
ing Machine. I have used one for the last
nine or ten years, and I think it is decidedly
the best family Sewing Machine."—Mrs. Alice
B. Whipple, wife of Rev. Dr. Whipple, Sec.
Am. Miss. Association.
* * "I have had an opportunity of ex
aminine and using other varieties of machines:
but I very much prefer the Grover A Baker
stitch, for strength, elasticity, and beauty. I
have seen no other machine so simple in its
construction, so easily understood and kept
in order." —Mrs. B. I). Sanborn, St. Louis.

FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE HAIR.
THE GREA T DESIDERATUM OF THE AGE
A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy,
and effectual for preserving the hair. Jaded, or
gray hair it toon restored la its "ri,final color and
the gluts and frethnett of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness
often, though not always, cured by its use.
Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles
are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and deea\-
ed. But such as remain can be saved for useful
ness by this application. Instead of foaling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean
and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent tbe
hair from turning gray or falling off, and consc
quently prevent baldness. Free from those dele
terious substances which make some preparations
dangerous and Injurious to the hair, tbe Vigor
can only benefit but nut harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be fonnd sq desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white
cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving
it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
