llLOOMSlll'IUl, HATt'ltDAY, HI JIT. a, HA
NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
It Is- said, uiul inserted with grunt
earnestness, that negro sulfrnge Is not
nn issue hi thli election. So far from
this being tho truth It is hi fuel the issue.
AVc congratulate tho voters of this Con
gressional District tlmt upon tliirs ques
tlon they cannot lo cheated or deceived.
Tho Hon. William Klwell occupies no
doubtful position. He Is tho recognized
opponent of negro suffrage, while Judge
Mercur Is Its advocate. Ills votes In
Congresriaiosignlfleant. lie is tho sumo
gentleman who somo days since, in his
speeches in this county, undertook to
explain his position and Ills votes on this
question; with what fairness that ex
planation was mado let us consider.
His effort wiW to impress on the public
that his only vote touching negro suf
frage was upon the bill relating to tho
District of Columbia. "We do not misrep
resent him when wo say he endeavored
to leave tho voters of Columbia County
tinder the. impression that tho only case
In which ho favored negro suffrage was
in tho District of Columbia, and that
because ho found his negro associates
there more Intelligent and better educat
ed than his friends In Bloomsburg. AVe
nay nothing as to tho compliment which
ho paid to hfs nioomsburg friends, but
pass on to the facts of tho case.
Mercur Is In favor of negro suffrage.
Ho is its open advocate, And his most
mendacious friends dare not deny it.
AVe publlshcdln our last week's issue
the Julian resolution for which Mcrcur
voted. Tills resolution provide in sub
stance that no Territory shnll hereafter
be admitted as a State unless the negro
Is allowed to vote. To what extent
Mcrcur had mado tho acquaintance of
tho negroos iu the Territories, and
whether his vote In their behalf in this
Instance was founded on tiieir Intelli
gence, we are unable to say. Wo only
know that lie has declared to the people
of tho Territories that they cannot bo
admitted as u .State without having first
provided In their State constitutions for
negro biilfrago.
Now this may Ihj all right. If a ma
jority of white mon Hay that the black
man shall Yote so lot it be.
But what is base nud unmanly, nud
we regret to say is characteristic of Mer
cur and his friends, Is that they should
attempt to cheat and deceive voters on
(lifs subject.
Tho ruiwM of our people of all parties
aro opposed to tho negro voting. It may
bo different in Bradford ; and tho people
of Columbia may perhaps clmngo. The
effect of association is seen upon Mcrcur,
mnd should tho honest yeomanry of Co
lumbia bo brought into tiio mmo inti
mate relations witli citizens of African
descent, no ono can foretell tho result.
But what wo beg is that until that
tinio comc9 wo shall deal fairly with
each other. While wo make no objec
tion to Murcur's admiration of tho Af
rican, and are content that ho shall
inako him his political equal if he can,
tvo must and will insist that ho and his
friends act openly and wlthoutdissimula
tion. Ho lit upon tho record In favor of
negro suffrage unqualified, and so is the
Columbia Counti Jlepubliean. Itecklc.-s
us tho editor of that papor is, ho dare
not deny this, nor will he have tho man
liness to admit its truth. Wo propose
in our noxt issue to examine further
Morcur's record.
UNION MEETING.
MAJOK CUAULKS H. SlIHINKIt, of
Union County, on Tuesday evening Inst
addressed a largo and Intelligent meet
ing of tho friends of President Johnson
uud tho Union, convened iu tho Court
Houso in this place. William Neal,
Esq., presided. Tho Major was intro
duced to tho audience as a former Lin
coln and Johi'.ion elector. In fact he
needed no introduction. His services
In tho cause of the Union in the years
that aro passed wero familiar to our
people, and ho was therefore received
by Union mon with every demonstra
tion of joy.
Ho succeeded In holding tho undivid
ed attention of his audience for nbout
two hours nud a half, while he discussed
with forco and eloquence tho questions
nt issue betwen our patriotic President
and u Bodieal Congress. His argu
ments wero clear, convincing, and un
answerable, and gave tho liveliest satis
faction to tho Union men present.
In tho hands of Major Shrlner "my
policy" Is shown with a clearness and
distinctness, which admits of no contra
diction, to hnvo been tho policy of tho
lamented Lincoln, and tho only policy
which can unite nil sections of our com
mon country In ono fraternal embrace.
No reply can bo mado or will bo at
tempted to bo mado to tho speeches de
livered by Mr. Shrlner hero and else
where except this" ho holds an oillce
under tho President."
JUDGE ELWELL.
Wk hear a very genoral desiro ox
pressed that Judgo Elwell, tho Union
candidate for Congress In tho Thirteenth
Congressional District, should tnko tho
bturap iu this county. Iu reply It is
only necessary to say that ho is the
Pres'Idout Judgo of this Judicial Dis
trict, and, unllko Judgo Mercur, lias a
proper appreciation of tho proprieties
of a gentleman In the high otlleu which
ho now holds. Ho cunuot, therefore, bo
expected to do as Mercur did in his Ju
dicial District tako tho stump nud beg
thovotcsof sultorsinhlseourts. It would
bo proper, and wo hope to hear Judge
Elwell lias and will speak in tho Coun
ties of Bradford and Montour, tho two
counties in tills Congressional District
not Included in lila Judicial District.

IIi.oomsiiijiio, HoptrinlirrSI, tsnil,
t)octnr J'. John, I'ditoi' of the Columbia
Counti; llepublican t
Sin, In your issue of tiio twentieth
instant 1 find tho following inquiry:
" Why Is it that In publishing his elec
tion proclamation Sheritr Snyder has
omitted that portion relating to desert
ers?" For the Information of yourself nnd
your renders, I beg to say that I cannot
amend my proclamation for tho reasons
which follow: Since the passago of tho
Act of Assembly of tho eleventh of
June last, Intended to carry Into effect
the act of Congress of tho third of
March, 18i.", depriving certain persons,
called deserters, of n right to vote, the
Supremo Court of this Statu lias pro
nounced tho Act of Congress of no val
idity. As tho opinion of tho court has
not yet been published in your paper,
and may not havo come under your no
tice, I refer you to a portion of it in an
swer to your inquiry, and In explana
tion of my proclamation. Judge Strong,
who delivered tho opinion of tho Court,
says :
It referring to the Act of Cotigress
means that the forfeiture which It
prescribes, like all other penalties for
desertion, must he adjudged to tho con
victed person after trial by n court-martial
and sentence approved, For tho
conviction and sentence of such n court
there can bo no substitute. They alone
establish the guilt of the uc.cu.-ed, and
faten upon him the legal eonsomieneos.
Such wo think Is tho true meaning of
the net. a construction that cannot bo
denied to it without losing sight of all
tiio previous legislation respecting tue
same sublect matter, no part of which
does this act profess to niter.
it may do luiueii unit tins construc
tion is not only required by the univer
sally admitted rules of statutory inter-
in-olMtlni. 1ml II Is In liovtiiniiv u-lMi
the personable rights secured by the
Constitution, nnd which Congress must
be presumed to have keift iu view, it
gives to the accused n trial beforesworn
judges, a right to challenge, an oppor
tunity oi deience, tiio privinge oi Hear
ing tho witnesses against him, and of
calling witnesses in ills behalf. It pre-
erves to him the common law presump
tion of innocence, until he has been ad
judged guilty nccording to the forms of
law.
It gives finality to a single trial. If
tried by a court-niartinl and nemtittctf,
his innocence can never again bo called
lu question, nud lie can bo made to suf
fer no part of the penalties prescribed
for guilt. On tho other hand, if a re
cord of conviction by a lawful court bo
not a prereouisito to sull'eriiig the pen
alty of tho Jaw, tho act of Congress may
woric intolerable iiariismiw. Too ac
cused will thus be obliged to prove his
innocence whenever the registry oi tiio
Provost-Marshal is adduced against
him. No decision of a board of elec
tion officers will protect him against
tho necessity of renewing his defence at
every subsequent election, nud ut each
tune Willi increased iiiiucuity arising
from tho possible death or absence of
witnesses. In many eases this may
prove a gross wrong. It cannot be
doubted that in somo Instances there
wero cau.-es that prevented a return to
service or a report, by persons registered
:w deserters ov rrnvost-.Mnrsunis, inui
would have been held Justifying rea
sons uy n court-murtini, or at least
would have prevented an approval of
tiio court's sentence, it is wen Known
also that some who were registered de
serters, were at tho time actually iu the
military service us volunteers, uud lion
orably discharging their duties to the
Government. To Jiold that the act of
Congress imposes upon such the nece.ssl
ty of proving their innocence without
any conviction of guilt, would be nu
unreasonable construction of the net
mil would bo attributing to tho Nation
al Legislature an intention not warrant
ed by tho language nnd connection of
tne enactment.
It follows that tho Judgment of the
court below upon tiio ease stated was
right. Tho plaintill' not having been
convicted of desertion and failure to re
turn to the service or to report to a Pro
vost-Marshal, and not having been sen
tenced to tho penalties and forfeitures
of tho law, was entitled to vote.
You will observe that tho Supremo
Court of our State, tho tribunal author
ized to pronounce the Unul decision up
on the constitutionality of our laws, do
dares in express terms tlmt nn election
board is not competent to try and do
cidcupon tho question of desertion; iu
other words, they declare thaCThe per
sonal rights secured by the Constitution
gives to the accused a trial before sworn
Judges, a right to challenge, an oppor
tunity of defence, tho privilege of hear
ing the witness against him, nnd of
calling witnes-es on his behalf.
It cannot be denied that tho reason
ingot tho court applies with the same
forco to the act of our Legislature that
it does to the act of Cougre-s which the
Court had immediately before them.
You will, therefore, I hope, rendilv
perceive why I havo declined in the
lection proclamation to imposo upon
tho Board of Election tho duty of try
ing alleged cases of desertion. Tho Su
premo Court says tho Election Board
has no such power or authority. And
until tho Court reverses the decision I
will respect it. I havo no disposition
to do anything by which election ofll-
cers may become involved In prosecu
tions. Very respectfully,
Sa.mi'i:i, S.n vi)i-:it, Sheriff.

FALSEHOODS AND VIOLENCE
OF THE ANTI-UNION PARTY,
'1 in-: mendacity of tho attacks upon
the President is on a pnrwith their ma
lignity. It is not enough that ills errors
of tasto and Judgment are systematical
ly exaggerated, or that every insult
which rufllnnisin choo to perpetrate
during his recent journey Is gravely ills
cussed as an evidence of popular feeling.
ills speeches are distorted. His state
moms aro misrepresented. AVords are
put into ids mouth Which he never utter
ed, uud declarations nre attributed
to
him for which the authorized report!
nli'ord no foundation. One of the kites
and grossest perversions of this nature
appears in the Chicago Tribune of Sat
urday, which, under the caption "John
son Promises Civil ar," promulgate
this statement :
..The President, at Newark. Ohio, on
Thursday hist nnnoiinivil fli of. onnllwir

Tho-e of our readers who follow

need to bo informed that for this repn:
sennit ion there is no warrant in hi

speech of which mention has been mado
by tho Impartial reporters of the Asso
elated Press. What he did .-ay in New

Out of this mengro material the organ
of Chicago radicalism has manufactured
its sensation story. For nil its startling
features there is not a semblance of Jus
tlilcatlon. The remarks alleged to havo
been made by tho President concerning
