Tlio Disgrace of Snuilicr t
Tho majority of tho Ilmllcnl aniens of
U. 8. Senators Mil themselves credit In
removing Uio puling, nuking, lilntant
8UMNF.li from tho chairmanship of tho
Scnttto foinmlltco ou foreign rotations.
Tho position Is of high Importance, sec
ond only to tho Prostdoncy ltsolf ns ro
Kurds foreign affairs, and ought to ho
tilled by n man of high Integrity and
thoroughly American feelings. True,
It is something of a burlcsquo to leavo
Cameuon standing on tho commlttco
us chairman, his namo having been
next to Sumner's, but that Is u tern
p irury Inconvenience that will bo rem
edied without trouble,
it Is charged, and with seeming
l.uislblllty, that tho removal of Sum
x iw was effected by tho direct eflbrts
of Prvstlcnt Quant. If so, It Is the
iocs! honorablo net of his ndmlnlstra
' i. h not of his life, and every body
i,uht to applaud hlui for It. No ynn
kcu Is lit for tho place, for they never
extend their vision beyond Now Eng
land, and tho interests of that locality
. ri M'ldoiu In unison with thosoof tho
nation nt lame, and yankco Ideas of
public morality and national honor aro
not of that manly, noblo and generous
mould that would do credit to or fairly
JCjr, sent tho spirit nnd glorious niplra
ilonsor the nation. Although Sujineh
has acquired much of tho art of oratory,
and by that means has secured a gener
al notoriety, ho Is not a statesman, Is
void of honorablo high purpose, Is n
baso traitor and unprincipled agitator
who would Immolate his country to
give himself conspicuous position, a
piddling demagogue, a seeker for pity
when ho Is worsted In an encounter, a
much nearer approach to a babbling old
maid than to n manly gladiator ; what
u common sold Is to a neighborhood
ho Is to tho Senate, and Is u calllsh,
mawkish sentimentalist who borrows
his plumes and glories in shames rather
than honors, when great men lllled
tho Senate, Sumneu was scarcely over
heard in debate. In thoso days wo do
not recollect that ho ever took part In
aetlvo discussion, but occasionally de
livered a declamation that had evident
ly been thoroughly practiced boforo o
mirror, and put this boforo tho country
as a pleeo of oratory. Ho was tho dull
boy In school, who had Just sense
enough to keep quiet when his superl
ors weie engaged In clfort. Fit only
for a leader amongst pigmies ho was not
oven observed amongst men of great
ithllltv.
Yot. in tho face of tlicio fuclx, his
removal and disgrace gives occupation
to thoiO whoact from no higher motive
than "opposition" to whatever our po
litical opponents do, and woseo some
newspapers now shedding crockodlie
tears over tho event whoso editors havo
recognized in Sumnek herctoforo only
tho basest whelp of tho kennel of ynn
I; co hounds who sot upon tho Constltu-
tloul Thoso extremely "conservative"
gentlemen who support whatover Is
condemned by their opponents and
condemn whatever Is supported by
them, aro In labour about It 1
Summer is a dead dog and wo thank
Grant for it I His egotism has receiv
ed a Just slap in tho mouth let him
enjoy a crying spell I
Ou this subjict tho A. Y. Tribune,
whilo defending Sumner, naively says: I
" If Mr. buuitsn had been great enough to say
to lits fellow Senators, 11 Tut moon any Commit-
Mee.orcn none.asyou Judge-most conducive
"to the public good at the foot of the Commlt
tce on Enrolled Bills, if you think I cuu be
"most useful there," lie would havo won a tri
umph greater than that of any ancient or mod
ern warrior."
But there's tho wholo trouble Sum
ner is not a great man, and every
emergency In his llfo will provo It.
Had he been a man of high-toned feel
ings ho would not havo agreed to servo
In a confidential relation with persons
who ho knew had no confidence In him
and even despised him, much less havo
Insisted upon remaining In It. His
conduct Is on an exact equality with
ono who would persist in remaining in
a gentleman's house after being politely
requested to leavo. Tho Philadelphia
Ledger (than which thero is no hotter
authority) thus sums up tho case, to
wit:
The Sumner Controversy. How
easy It Is to befogand obscuro tho main
point nr. issuo in any matter mat in
volves nartv feellnc. is forcibly illus
trated by the controversy about Senator
Sumner and tho Chairmanship of tho
Senate Commlttco ot Foreign Affairs.
Under our Constitution the Senate is a
part of tho treaty-making power. No
ircnlv is binding unless it ho made by
nnd with tho advice and consent of the
K nate. To get this advice, and make
irrsonably suro of this consent, It is
i k nihil that tho President and his
fctcretary of State shall bo nblo to un
derstand uio views oi mo senate, imu
tho organ or medium of communica
tion between them for this purpose,
which is crwjiuemiai in mo nignest ue
grre, is tho Chairman of tho Foreign
Affairs Coramitto. Now it stands to
Now it stands to
reason that parties occupying this cloio
nnd confidential relation, Involving our
intercourse wuu anu conuuci towarus
foreign powers, should stand on terms
of mutual respect and cordial good will
towards each other, If tho important
business they havo In chargo Is to bo
fully, frankly and fairly discussed, and
so conducted as to promote tho best In
terests of tho country. Mr. Sumner
does not stand on such terms with tlio
President and Secretary of Stnto. On
tho contrary ho occupies an attitudo of
open Hostility to inem, anu nicy nave
naturally become hostile to him. That
is tho fact, and It does not set aside tho
fact to go into an Inquiry as to who Is
to blame for Its existence. Kvcrvbodv.

Menato achates must know how dllilcul t
n taBk it has been for his brother Sena
tors of his own party to got along with
Mr. Sumner'h domineering and intol

Tho Senate wisely recoirnlzod thn exist-

' Old Virginia
Tho Alexandria Gazette republishes
tho resolutions of tho General Aesom
lily of tho State of Virginia, January
2, 1871, for a cession of lands on tho
northwest side of tho Ohio to tho United
States. It calls attention to tho old
map showing tho original bounds of
Augusta county, Virginia, as defined
by statute, November, 1738, an lm
meneo territory, from which was born
I ho States of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, "a free gift from Virginia
to tho United States, by deed Murch 1,
178 1." Tills historical rtmlnisccnco is
pertinently contrasted by tho Gazette
with tho course pursued towarus Vir
ginia by thoso who owo their position
to her patriotism and bounty,
ltrcoiiotrmt SdnijIMlll
Whenever an outrngo Is committed
In thn South our Radical friends cry
out for reconstruction. It Is n trlto old
saying that "what Is sauce for tho gooo
Is sauco fur tho gander." Now It Is
certain that not only in Schuylkill
county but In tho coal regions general
ly, personal rights aro not resp'cted nor
docs tho law protect them. Men who
want to do work duro not do It, though
their families nro starving, nnd recently
houses of workmen who had gone to
work were nttaeked, ono was blown up
with powder, nnd a man was killed.
Had this happened lu tlio rioulli It
would havo been hailed by tho Itadl-
cals as n most gross and wanton ku-
klux outrage, tho Federal army would
havo been quickly on tho tnovo, repre
sentation in Congress would havo been
denied, elections set nt naught, nnd re
construction insisted upon. If good
there, why not apply tho same remedy
In Schuylkill? Why wont Iladlcals
tnko their own mcdiclno?
Tho facts referred to constitute a
Btrong illustration of tho folly of Radi
cal notion towards tho South. Outra
ges, vlolenco nnd murder nro common
hero as well as there, and aro not n pro
per basis for political action. Thoremo-
dy for nil such ovlls is to ho found In a
proper enforcement of law by the
Courts and their ofllcers.
Tmo Cause of Sumner's Disgrace,
To Jump at conclusions is always a
gravo fault, nnd to ncccpt Sumner's
baby cry that ho Is removed and dis
graced on nccount of his San Domingo
differences with tho President, nusurtl.
Wo suspect a much moro gravo reason.
For years past tho Republican leaders
havo occupied nn untcnablo and dcnia
gogulcnl position on tho Alabama ques
tion. They mint back down. A com
mission composed of representatives
from both countries, Is in session, and
will heltlo tho question on some com
mon senso bash. Sumner cares neither
for President Quant or tho Radical
party, or tho country Itself, or any con
sequences that may result, if his own
selfish Interests can bo promoted. Ho
wants to play tho demagogtio on this
very point, In tho vnln hopo of making
himself President. At tho head or tlio
commlttoaon foreign relations ho would
necessarily bo In tho sccrctsof tho Pres
Ident nnd his Secretary of State, could
defeat any treaty, perhaps prevent set
tlcmcnt, and bring on a war with Eng
land, nnd through tho attendant oxclto
inent nnd resentment make himself
President I That Is tho real gamothat
Is tut off by his removal. Ho would
sncrltlco billions of monoy and bun
dreds of thousands of lives, nnd seotho
Inst dollar wrung by tax collectors from
tho hard earnings of overy man, If all
that would mako him President 1 Ho
no doubt thought ho saw his way clear,
through tho tribulations of his country,
but his selfish and unpatriotic purpose
Is nipped in tlio bud and Hamnn hangs
high on his own gallows! No wonder
ho whines llko a whipped cur. Dog
that ho is, ho richly merited his fate.
Tho mess of troublo that the clrcum
staneo throws tlio Republican leaders
and nowspaper Into Is charming. Let
them strugglo In tho mire. But in tho
namo of common senso nnd public do
coney, let not tho Democracy becomo
sympathisers with rotten Sumner
Centennial Celebration.
Conrrress enacted n law at tho lato
session fixing upon Philadelphia as tho
placo where tho Centennial National
Celebration Bliall bo hold on July i,
1S7C. Tho Legislature also took up tho
subject and nutlionseu mo appointment
of committees of arrangement as fob

acl of Phil adclphia, and D. J. Morrill.

tors Olmslead, Purman and Nagle.
House Speaker Webb, nnd Messrs.
Strang, Ellis and Johnson.
In addition to theso othor committcna
will bo appointed by Philadelphia and
various other authorities, organizations
and societies. Tho affair will undoubt
edly bo ono of tho grandest spectacles
of tho kind over witnessed In modern
times.
The Houso of Representatives nt
Harrisburg Is considering tho Appro
prlatloiv bill. Tho usual extravagance
prevails, but It Is hoped ths Senate will
glvo itn thorough sifting.
Mr. Buckalew'b printing bill has
passed tho Senato. It will glvo honost
men an equal chanco with rogues In
bidding and will savo thousands of dol
lars to tho State.
Tho nlno million steal has not yet
been Introduced but tho thieving coun
ty Treasurers aro on hand.
Tho bill to place tho government of
Philadelphia In tho hands of commit
tees appointed by tho Legislature has
I been squelched by tho shaip practice of
Speaker Weiih. As it is a "diamond cut
diamond" operation wo havo no com
ments. Philadelphia ought to suffer
constant and brilliant Legislative out-
rago for persistently sending n batch of
scallawags to represent hor.
OARi-ET-nAOOERY Is getting In bad
odor among tho Louisiana negroes. Tho
Radical Leglslaturo of that Stato has
not mado a fair division of tho public
plunder between tho white and black
cormorants swarming In tho lobby. Re
cently, a corporation composed ot ne
groes asked for n subsidy for n new lino
of steamboats to run on tho Mississippi
River. Tho object was laudablo. Thu
negroes complained that they wero ex
eluded from seats at tho first saloon tn
bles nnd berths In tho first cabins of tho
Btcnuiboals now on tlio river, and thnt
their purposu was to establish a lino In
which Individuals of their color could
gel first-class accommodation. Thoy
urged, moreover, that they would not
Imltato tho racnn cxcluslvencss of tho
whites, but would freely admit tho
whites to nil tho privileges thcy them
selves enjoyed. This appeal, Instead of
warning tho carpet-baggers to ndlsplay
oi generosity, onlv extracted from
their selfish hearts tho pitiful sum of
?a,uoo. On tho very samo day tho
Leglslaturo voted nwoy $3,500,000 to
wulto steamboat and railroad compa
nies, Tho fact is, tho whlto lobby mem
bcrs had moro cash to squander on
members of tho Legislature than tho
impecunious darkles, nnd nil tho Just
claims of tho race upon tlio Now Eng
laudcrs whom they hnd elovatcd to of
fice weighed as nothing In tlio balance.
This Is what grloves tho politicians of
color In Louisiana, and Induces a Now
Orleans paper in their Intorost to cry
out "wo uro over-reached."

Radicalism. A radical rovolullon
has been going on for some tlmo In Ar
kansas, which Is highly Illustrative of
Carpetbag Radicalism. Gov. Clayton
was elected to tho U. S. Senato by tho
Legislature and should havo taken his
scat on tho 1th of March. Uut no unci
n quarrel with Lieut. Governor John
son who was by "vlrtuo of his olllco
President of tho Senate, nnd who would
succeed Clayton ns Governor If tho
latter resigned. Clayton had proceed
ings of impeachment commenced
against Johnson, who had ruled
soino of Clayton's friends out of tho
Senate. Impeachment was nUo com
menced ngainst Clayton. Tho Su
premo Court then took tho matter In
hand, tho Chief Justlco of which was
also Impeached. Hut tho Chief Justice,
combining with Johnson's friends,
dismissed tho action of impeachment
against him, nnd their friends together
in tho Sennto wero strong cnougti to
dismiss tho tiroceedlncs ngnlnst the
Chief Justice. To defeat them Clov.
Clayton resigned tho U. S. Senator-
ship I Rut thus nil hands wero losing
too much of a good thing nnd a com
momlso was effected. Johnson ro-
sinned his Lieut. Governorship and was
Immediately appointed Secretary of
Htnta bv Clayton. A friend of tho
latter was elected Speaker of tho Senate,
who becomes Governor on Clayton's
reslcuatlon. This all accomplished
Clayton resigns ns Governor and Is
elected to succeed himself as U. fc. ben
ntor I All hands In tho transactions aro
oarnct -bangers and tho pcoplo of Ar
kansas onlv look on and laugh, tho
military around them preventing them
from action. Wero tho latter out of
tho way, tho peoplo would kick tho
Legislature, Governor and all into tho
Mississippi. And this Is nn Illustration
of tho manner in which tho South is
governed when Radicals havo tho pow
er. The samo scallawags send members
to Congress, and through theso tho peo

Tho Radicals of both Houses nro do

The Committee on "Oiitraircs."
It seems nlmost Impossible for tho
Radical organization In Congress, eith
er collectively or through its commit
tees, to do any act that Is either frank
or upright. Tho commlttco nppointcd
to Investlgato alleged "outrages" In tho
Southern States havo been consistent
with this practlco. Rcforo they had
well proceeded with tho inquiry, Mr.
Scott, tho chairman, presented himself
at a Republican caucus, nnd asserted
that the testimony rovcaled a "Ku-klux
organization of -10,000 men In North
Carolina." That allegation was wholly
unfounded, and when It was subse
quently challenged by Mr. Rlalr In
open Senate, Its author did not daro to
assumo tho responsibility of repeating
what ho had said in secret. Rut it is
proved to bo false by tho record now
produced.
A largo number of witnesses had
been summoned hero, nnd others wero
to bo called, who would havo most se
riously damaged tho charges, had they
been allowed to testify. Rut tho drift
of nil tho rcllablo evidence had so com
pletely upset tho calculations of tho
majority, that without notico of tiny
kind, or tlio least Intimation of such n
purpose, they suddenly, on Wednesday
last, determined to close tho Investiga
tion. And us if to establish tliotlellb
crateness of this snap-Judgment ou the
minority, Mr. Scott produced n pre
pared report, which might os well havo
been written boforo tho investigation
began. All tho clamor and claptrap
pery cannot chango tho dl.-graceful
character of this proceeding. The
samo charges, tho samo witnesses, tho
samo localities, and tho samo in cldents
that havo figured so often for tho last
two or threo years, nnd somo of them
older, aro reproduced on tho stago In
tho old, familiar costumes. A few de
pendants upon tho Federal nnd Stato
treasury havo been odded to boUter up
tho perjury of their Interested confed
erates. Holden, Kirk, Ilergen, and
others liko them, whoso very names
nro redolent of fraud, outrage, robbery
and oppression, uro tho wretches who
havo been brought hero to sustnln n
conspiracy against tho peaceful peoplo
of North Carolina, whom thov first
plundered and then sought to crush by
armed rufllanism. Tho very mlscro
nuts, conspirators, thioves, and political
knaves who planned nnd oxeeutcd n
wholesalo system of plunder and cru
elty, mnny of whom aro now under in
dictment nnd others fugitives from jus
tice, nro chosen by this commlttco ns
witnesses to uphold a nowoutrago upon
public decency. So shameful n specta
cle has hardly ever beforo been wit
nessed. Notwithstanding tho trick In closing
tho doors of Investigation, tho minori
ty of tho couimitleo havo collected u
mas3 of evidence, from most rcspectn
bio nnd responsible citizens, which es
tablishes, beyond nil doubt, that tho
Stato government of North Carolina,
under Holden, was nn organized con
spiracy against tlio lives, liberties, and
property or tho people. Such a record
or crimo as tho career of theso men fur
nishes Is without parallel in this coun
try. Their Iniquities almost exceed ho
ller. Colored witnesses called by tho
mnjoilly provo conclusively that four
cases out of six alleged "Ku-klux out
rages'' wero perpetrated by negroes,
who assumed that character by tho In
struction of Holden or his tools. As
ho Imported such ruffians ns Kirk from
Tennesseo to Invado parts of North
Carolina, bo ho adopted other lnstru
mentalities ror purposes equally crlml
nal, Ho himself was at tho head of
a secret organization by which tho pro
perty of law-abiding citizens who re
fused to obey his political dictation
was destroyed by flro under orders
from Raleigh.
This commlttco has aimed at two ob
Jccts, and failed In both. Thoy havo
sought to protect tho baso Instruments
by which Kadlcallsm has maintained n

penalties of their crimes, and to fabrl
cato a protended enso for moro uneon

will not only recoil from a now agita

If all that Senator Sheiiman recently
said on tho iloor of tho U. S. Sennto
nbout tho wanton cxtravaganco of tho
present federal administration bo truo,
General Grant's appointment of every
rchitlvo ho possesses to n lucrative pub
lic olllco Is nothing bcsldo tho other
wltolcs.i!o robberies of tho Treasury In
Washington. Senator Sherman said :
"Every man of senso knows that ho
can go to nny of theso departments and
cut off ono-lialf of tho clerical force,
and yet leavo a sufficient foico to per
form alt tho duties. If others do not
know It, I nt least havo n very strong
conviction on this point." Senator
Patterson wld very much tho samo
thing. In fact, tho, open system of
plunder now prevailing in tlio federal
capital, untfer tho Grant dynasty, Is
appalling to themoro respectable repub
licans. Tlio nvarieo and rapacity of
Grant and his innumerable relations,
tho recl;Ics3 expenditures and Utopian
schemes of his administration, together
with his own utter Incapacity ns n civil
ruler, nro nil salient features that will
llvo In tho futuro history of tho United
States long after ho Is dead.
Such u " feathering of nests," as they
call it, nover beforo was seen lu Wash
ington. Tho example of tho President
himself, who accepts every kind of
presents from n costly mansion down
to n box of cigars, and bestows public
olllco on tho donors, has had its natural
effect upon his subordinates. His anx
iety lo fasten every poor nnd rich rela
tion ho has upon tho federal treasury,
has not gone unappreciated. Every
great man has his copyists. As n result,
therefore, greed nnd corruption rulo In
tho District of Columbia. Nepotism,
chicanery, ignorance nnd duplicity nro
rlfo throughout tho public departments,
nnd our government this day, If it
could bo held up to tho light nnd faith
fully exposed to an houent scrutiny,
would mako every mau shudder who
entertains tho slightest respect for
sound principles, tho faintest regard for
truth, integrity and justlco, lu tho nil-mini-it
ration of govern inent. Utoioini

Vicious Election Practices In l'lillntlelplila.
Tho Ledger of tho 13th says:
Tho conviction of Rrlll for nltering
tho election return of tho sixth division
of tlio Slxtconth Ward should bo irsndo
to mark a new era in putting n check
upon tuo progress oi uns inramous anil
dainrerous crime. No ono need ho ro-
minded how frequently our elections
havo been disgraced and corrupted of
into years oy tno alteration nun down

thero was u closo voto for nny of theso

was n far-reaching conspiracy against
tho olcctlvo franchise and It is a great
nltv that tho arch conspirator is not In
i ho dock to recelvo his deserts alone
with Rrlll. Even now n member of
Common Council holils his seat by
means of this forgery. And again ft
turns out In tho course of this trial that
tho records of tho Court of Common
Pleas havo been mutilated or plundered
to cover up nn election fraud. This is
another aspect of tho great dangers wo
havo drifted Into, and that need tho
heavy hand or tho court lor tho protec
tion of tho public.
Yet our 'conservative' fiientlsllko tho
Reading Gazette would not "alter whnt

on. Rather than attempt to remedy
ovlls, scoundrels nro to bo permitted to
go on and client tho pcoplo out of tho
officers they havo elected and Impose
upon them men thoy havo rejected at
