Scau IltcUmauand the Tribtiue.
John Hickman, a leading Radical legis
lator, 'denounces Irish Catholics, and Cler
man "lager beer ewillors,M as inferior to
tho negro. The Johnstown Tribune tries
to wiggle out of It thus :
WV&rtHmlj lo nut endorse tbc sentiments
attributed tu Mr. John Hickman ami others,
purporting to have been uttered by thtm in
dbate at Harrisburg the othct.dny. PrO
eiTiption of any man on account of hia race,
religion or clor is not a Republican princi
ple aud.fiudo no favor with iho brasses of the
party and its real leaders. . It ia the Demo
i-rutie. party that iuculc.ttes'aud practices a
prescriptive policy. It proposes to yrind
under its pro slavery hiel four millions of
i. ail re b-rn Americans fcimply because they
have-Thick tl;in3. John llickman made a
f ol of "himself, but the Democracy is no
wiser thfin he and iLfinittly more depraved
in all its iiibtiucLs.
Iilfhe above five sentences there arc
double the number of misrepresentation,
to term them hy no Larher name.
1. ''Proscription of any man on. ac
count of race, religion or color is'' 'a lie
publican (radical) principle,' and 'finds''
favor with the masses of the party nnd
iM real leaders." The whwle Kuowr
Nothing party is embodied in The Kacfical
party, and bound its members by hotrrii1)
oaths to deny the rights of citizenship to
all who had the misfortune to be boin on
the other side of the Atlantic. The editor
ft' the Tribune himself va3 a member of
that organization! So much for Med
They denied the rights of citizenship to
every Roman Catholic. So much for re
ligion ! ' The present Radical party 7ro
rciibii the white man nnd gives power to
the negro. S. much for color.
2. It is not true that the Democratic
party ''inculcates and practices a proscrip
tivc policy." They hold that this is a
white man's government, made by white
men, for whitt men and their posterity
forever. They do not seek to deprive the
negro of any privileges he ever had, but
they are not' willing to make thera rulers
over tha white population.
3, The Tribune again misrepresents the
fact?, r.nj contradicts itself, in claiming
eipial privileges for tho negroes. No Sfatc,
even the most radical, that lias held an
t lection within the last five years on the
hubjot, that bus not declared against the
capacity of tho negro for suffrage. We
mean in the Northern States, where the
negro is pupposcd to have all the intelli
gence he is capable of acquiring. While
in the South, where his ignorance is still
greater, his condition still more degraded,
tho whites are askod to yield up the gov
ernment to his elx)ny hands.
- Tor fcharnc, Mr. Tribune. Meet this
question honestly, as is your wont.
AC'u,oYr2,i:DKitI; coo:
A pamphlet has been sent to us, con
taining a argument in favor of the new
kink lately got up by weak-minded men
and strong minded women, amending the
Constitution by adopting a clause ac-
knowledging the existence of a Supreme
Ruing.' The Constitution framed by Chris-
tan men the fathers of the republic- -was
framed for the government of men ; and
when the existence and goodness of a Su
preme Being was felt anJ recognized by
all, it was hardly thought necessary to
have it transcribed into the national com
pact, any more than the existence of the
. world. the sun, or anything else that every
Inxly admitted.
But what good would insoxtui-? It do ?
It wcmld be repealed, like the rest- t-f the
'Constitution, by the Runip Congress. .."
Jf these Radicals nra 4 anxious to have
an acknowledgment of Goifinpiih places,
they are taking a sure means of obtaining
it by the impeachment ; -for old Ben.
.Wade, when he gets to be President, yill
..-'recognize the existence of a God by pros
la mation in other words, by' taking his
name in, vain in every sentence hes utters.
Til I-? Tit 111..
. The Impeachment trial was resumed
'on Thursday last. Judge Curtis opened
for the defensa in an able and exhaustive
. elFort, which must have carried conviction
to every unbiassed mind. There was no.
. effort at display no reaching for stage
effect, as in Butler's bombastic effusion in
, the opening on the other side but a suc
: cinct statement of facts and the law bear-.-
,'ing upon those facts. If the opening is
sustained by the evidence, and we have no
doubt it will be, the defence is complete
and m pie, unless, indeed, as is alleged,
" . the Court was only organized to convict.
We await, Iwwever, without much con--.
cera this contest between the Radicals and
; their own President." " It is a pitiable
- sight such an on as could never have
happened under Democratic rule.
The readers of the Freeman shall be
kept advised of the progress ct this radi
cal Jialco.
' " ; TAX.lTIOX J -
The people of the United States are
roore heavily taxed in this year of grace,
1868, than they have been at any time
c i-- - 'xent.
These taxes weigh as an incubus on every
acre of land, on every chattel, on all the
proceeds of labor, and on every commer
cial transaction.
These burdens have hitherto been borne
patiently, but the people are beginning to
inquire when a partial relief may be ex
pected, or whether this state of .things is
to be jerpetual. While the rebellion was
unsuMued men and money were lreely
given ; but we have had three years of
profound peace, and yet the taxes are not
reduced neither is the public debt dimin
ished. .
Tax-payers were willing to expend their
blood and treasure in a four years' war to
keep the Southern States iu the Union,
but they hesitate about being taxed to the
same extent for an iudefmite period to
keep them out of 'the-Union. The South
ern people have resources sufficient to pay
their own taxes, if allowed to develop
them, and govern themselves; yet we are
taxed not less than ojie. hundred and Jijly
millions a year to govern them and feed and
j clothe the negroes.
j And this is to continue until the South.
I crn States agree to haul over tha reins of
J power to the negro race a period which
J never will,' never can," arrive for' the day
will, never come when tho free white peo
ple of thg, Southern State.-, or of any State
or country, will place themselves . under j
Afrtchn fule.'
Then th plain "and 'simple method of
relief from these burdt-ns of taxation is to
accept the result of the war as tho resto
ration -of the Union to not only permit
but require the Southern States not only
to f-upport themselves, but to contribute
their resources to the payment of our in
debtedness. Unless this is done, and more particu
larly if Radical extravagance in a Fried
man's Hurenu and a Southern army is to
be perpetuated, national bankruptcy, or
what is worse, national repudiation, must
come us surely as the night succeed the
i
nay.
Let us ponder these things in time.
THE REGISTRY IVi-lV.
We give this law a place on our first
page, that our readers may become ac
quainted with its provisions. It should
be entitled "An act to increase the diffi
culties of exercising the right of suffrage."
The object of its passage was doubtless to
prcrcnt Democrats from voting. We re
gret that the evil times in which we live
has imposed this new clog upon suffrage,
but we must bear it, and it is important
that every citizen should familiarize him
self with its provisions.
The great objections to ibe law are,
that it complicates tho machinery of elec
tions, adds to the duties of county com
missioners, assessors, and election officers,
and greatly increases the expenses of gov- j
ernment, and consequently the taxes of
the people ' I
ti.-.-1.mv:.-.: ..' I
.... fc. uUUU !U IU tW, LOW-
.1 ... it i ... I
ever, is, that the polls are closed at six
o'clock an hour earlier than under the
present law, and thus the laboring classes,
who are composed almost entirely of Dem
ocrats, cannot, as heretofore, complete
their da's work before voting. . The fcilk
slocking gentry well know that the hands
. of labor do not often deposit a Radical
ticket,
.What seems unaccountable to us is,
that the Itadicals, while making it so very
easy for the negroes to vote, are every day
imposing new restrictions on free white
eufiiage.
Tlic 4 Sober Second Thought !"
The people North and South, East and
West, at the recent elections, are "im
Caching the impeachers." There is a
fteady Democratic gain all over the coun"
try. The name of General Grant has
been thrown into the canvass in vain.
New Hampshire lee off, and the rally was
on General Grant the result is a reduced
majority for the Radicals. So in Con
necticut English, the Democratic candi
dal is re-elected, doubling bis majority
over Jewell, the Radical, since the last
year's election. This is epeaking plain
English to the Rump. Connecticut, like
the Roman matrons of old, is willing to
sacrifice her Jca-ells upon the altar of her
country. In nearly all the charter elec
tions we have a similar gain.
The impeachment farce is still in pro
gress in Washington, and the managers
are making every effort to secure convic
tion, no matter what means may be ne
cessary to attain that end. Their latest
infamy is the overruling of the decision of
the Chief J ustice as to the admissibility
of a portion of Gen. Sherman's evidence.
The impeachers dread the truth, and
dare not permit it to go before the peo
ple, and hence the ruling which has shut
out a truthful statement of the conversa
tion between the President and General
Sherman in relation to the removal of
StanioD.
A Grave JuestIon
The impending convulsion is to be
heightened, it seems, by a question that
will further put in jeopardy the tranquility
of the country. Wade, it is clear, is not
o'lgiblo to Iho plnoa of LVosiiUiilt JolinSOIl,
and, to get it, must resort to a sheer usur
pation, to" which the forms of impeachment
lend no color at all.
Vho should succeed not only a Presi
dent, but aleo a Vice-President who had
been called to fill the higher office, has
been a question that seemed so remote
that it never has enlisted close attention.
The clique that governs in Congress select
ed Wade, and made him President of the
Senate, with the intention that he should
supplant the President of the United States
by the machinery ot an impeachment.
But his right is challenged from a high
quarter. A paper of great ability recently
appeared in the National Intelligencer, at
V ashmgton ; it seemed traceable to a
high legal source ; and Forney's Press
yesterday admitted that it was inspired by
the Chief Justice of the United States
"Although it has been repeatedly and
persistently denied, it is now proven be
yond cavil that the sensational article
which appeared some days ago in the
National Intelligencer was favored by Chief
Justice Chase, as was asserted by thi
New York Keening Post."
The article in question proves, incontes
tably, that Congress cannot put one of its
own members into the President's place.
Indeed, it seems so clear, that it is singular
it should not have been alwavs obvious ;
Lut, . as . we have said, the conjuncture
never before seemed probable thetuhject
never before enlictcd very close attention.
In case of removal c-t noil. le?'dent and
Vice-President, the Constitution ;Ilo-
Congress ''to declare what OtJIar shall
then act as President." Now, by more
authority than we have space here to cite,
it is settled that members of Congress arc
not "officers" of the government. Ry
section -1 of the second article of the Con-
stitution "all civil officers are impeacha- j
ble :" it has been decided that Senators
are not impeachable. The third section
of the same article says "the President
shall commission all the officers of the
United States ." now, the President does
not commission members of Congress. It
is also clear that by the Constitution it is
some "officer" who shall "ac" as Presi
dent without ceasing to be the "officer"
he was. This excludes the quibble raised
for Wade that he is an officer of the
Senate its presiding officer. But this
does not make him an "officer of the
United States." Moreover, if he was to
assumo the Presidency he could be no
longer even a presiding officer of the
Senate ; so he would be no officer at all ;
he could not be "an officer" who could
'act" as President
This is a close condensation of a long
argument. We may add that for a Sen
ator to "act" as President would lead to
inconsistencies which the fraruers of the
Constitution could never have intended.
Ha could nominate to the Senate, and
then vote on the nominations. He could
make treaties and vote for their ratifica
tion. In short, it would create a confu
sion between the Executive and Legislative
branches, which it is a leading object of
the Constitution to prevent.
We do not doubt that the article which
is of such interest, and has enlisted such
attention, will soon be published in some
convenient lorm. Philu. Aget Wth.
A Mateuxai. Example TVorthy of
Imitation. The Lynn (Mass.) Eepoi-tcr
tells the story of an Irish woman, who
Ls been a mother indeed to her fatherless
clnM'n. Her name is McCarty. Her
husband" was lost in a fishing vessel from
Gloucester, and she was left with four
hi, . tJ laest of whom wag ,
"
eight years. Finding that she could not
bring up her cnilren respectably in
Massachusetts on her slender earnings, she
sold her furniture and put her children at
a Catholic school in BrookhVie, agreeing to
pay a certain stipend for their b?ard and
instruction, secured a passage rouu'd Cape
Horn to California by working as Stew
ardess, ariving safely, went to work there I
to earn money and from thence went to
Nevada Territory. Everything that she
could save from her earnings was sent
homo for her children, to the care of a
woman who had charge of them. This
continued until Mrs. McCarty became
apprised of the unfaithfulness of this
woman, when she immediately borrowed
money enough to bring her to Massachu
settshaving just previously sent all she
had to the dishonest woman and started
to find her children. They were scattered
around ; three-of them in families ; one of
them had died without her being apprised
of it, and one of them was where he was
ill U9ed. She gathered them together and
has started back with thera to California,
determined hereafter not only to work for
them, but to have them where she can
look after them. Such energy and mater
nal fidelity deserve a record, as an example
and an encouragement to others.
Don't Deny. The Harrisburg Patriot
and Union says : The morning mongrel is
"assured by several Senators" that Sena
tor Landon did not "refer contemptuo usly
to the Germans of Pennsylvania." Well
to what other Germans than those of
Pennsylvania did he refer ? Of course he
referred to those of this State when he
denounced the Germans as a class.
Besides this it would have been more
appropriate for such a denial to come from
Landon himself instead of from "several
Senators" which is very vague and
indefinite. Landon has made no denial.
Besides this, again, "several Senators"
have not denied what Fisher said about
the "bog trotting, ignorant Irishmen, and
swag-bellied, lager beer Dutchmen," nor
what llickman said about negroes being
better entitled to vote than Catholics
although we have been informed that
delegations of "policy" Radicals have
waited upon them and desired a denial as
well as a modification of their language
before their speeches appear in the Legis
lative Record.

A dispatch from Springfield, 111.,
says : The movement intended to force
Senator Yates to resign did not originate
from any di.-gust at his unfortunate habit,
but the effect of wide spread belief among
the members of his party that he id not
sound on the impeachment question. It
is said that he positively declared at the
close of the testimony for the prosecution
that he could not vote for a conviction on
the evidence presented.
A terrible accident occurred at St.

the door, a portion of the galleries fell
through, and three persons, all females,
were instantly killed. Several others
were seriously injured, two of whom will

48,505. In 1867 the Democrats polled
47,565 votes, and the Republicans 40,
578 votes a Democratic majority of 987
in a total poll of 94,143. Since 1867,
therefore, the Democratic rote has in

Ben Butler wants to get Grant be

the managers have objected and are using
all their vigilance and every effort to foil
Ben. They can't afford to let their dum

It is to be hoped the President's counsel
will bring him up and allow Benjamin to

The funeral of Hon. T. D'Arcy
McGee took place in Ottawa on the
looming of the 13th instant. It was
the most imposing ceremony ever witness
ed in Canada. Thirty thousand people
were, in tho procession and eighty thous
and on the streets. The remains were
taken to St. Patrick's Cathedral and to the
French Parish Church, and an eloquent
sermon delivered by Rev. O'Farrell at the
former and a short address by the Bishop
at the latter church, after which they were
interred in the Catholic cemetery.
Thos. D'Arcy McGee, a member of
the Canadian House of Commons, and a
most eloquent and widely known gentle
man, was shot aead by an unknown as
sassin, on the steps of his boarding house
in Ottawa, Canada, on the evening of the
7th inst. Mr. McGee was born in Ire
land in 1825, and came to this country
when 17 years of age, but subsequently
returned to his native land, from whence
lie afterwards came back and became
editor of the N. Y. Nation. Several per
sons have been arrested on suspicion of
complicity in his murder, and are now
