THE FREEMAN. EBENSBURG, PA., Tnui:siAY, : : : : Feb. 11, 18G9. Tuakxs. Wo aro uuder obligations to Congressman Worrell f"r several valuable public documents, and to Representative Porter for a daily copy of the Legislative Record, and for other favors of a more grat ifying character, and which we shall ever hold ourself ready to reciprocate. 'A Mistake Corrected. Almost every editor of a newspaper, dem ocratic as well as radical, when he refers to the proposed constitutional amendment con ferring suffrage upon negroes in the Northern States, speaks of its adoption by three fourths of the State Legislatures as a foregone con clusion. This is a mistake. There are thirty seven States in iha Union, or at least there ought to bo. Three-fourths of that number are hoenfy-eighl. Less than that number of State Legislatures cannot ratify an amend ment to the constitution. The radical party now controls the Legislatures of twenty-three States, as follows : Maine, Vermont, Massa chi s t , RLode I land, New York, Pennsyl viirii, West Virginia, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Ne braska, Kansas, Nevada, Arkansas, Tennes see, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, South Car olina and North Carolina. If New Hamp shire and Connecticut vote for tho radicals at the 6pring election it will give them two more States, making in all twenty-five. The opponents of negro suffrage control the Le gislatures of nine States. In order, there fore, to make up the twenty-eight States it will be necessary for the radicals to carry the three States not j'ct reconstructed, viz: Vir ginia, Mississippi and Texas. Their chances of doing 0 are not at all flattering, since we know that Miss'ssippi, at an election held last summer, defeated her reconstructed con stitution by a majority of about eight thous and. From this view of the situation, and it is the correct one, it is safe to infer that this piece of radical bread may yet fall upon tho buttered fide. Iu view of the fact that tho Chicago plat form distinctly disavowed any right on the part of Congress to regulato the question of suffrage in tho Northern States, the submis fcion of this proposed negro amendment to tho Northern Legislatures at this time is a gross outrage. They were not elected with reference to that issue, for tho very reason that the radical party, by the nction of its national convention, had declared that it was not a debateable question. If that wero the issue in this State at the next fall election Geary and his radical cohorts would be ut terly annihilated. As the game of political fraud is now being played, begro suffrage may be inflicted upon this State, not by the votes of her own citizens but by the votes of the negro and carpet-bag Legislatures of the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas and Louisiana. A Silly I'roposltlou. Tho constitution tinkeis at Washington having exhausted their ingenuity in that di rection, our State constitution is to be sub jected to the same healing process by their radical brethren at Uarrisburg. In the Ilouse of Representatives an amendment to the con ttltution has been proposed by Mr. Adaire, a radical member from Philadelphia, which reads as follows : "That representatives to the number of tftrce hundred eliull be apportioned and distributed equally throughout the State by districts, in proportion to the number of taxub'e inhabitants thereof, except that no county shall be divided and no more than three counties shall be joined in the formation of a district." In order to preservo the equilibrium of numbers between the IIouo and Senate tho amendment ought to provide for the increase of the nutuber of Senators from thirty-three to nineiy-iiine, so that the Senate and Ilouse would then consist of three hundred and ninety-nine members. If the taxpayers of Pennsylvania have been enabled, under the mercies of a divine Providence, to survive the effects of the last five years of radical legislation, the number cf lawmakers being one hundred and thirty-three, what would be their situation If that number was In creased three fold f The expenses of the Le gislature for the year I860 were about one hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Under tho rule of radical extravagance and corrup tion they have steadily increased, until last year they reachod the enormous sum of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Under Adaire's arrangement, tested by the ordinary rules of arithmetic, the expenses would amount to three times as much, or about one million of dollars. That is quite a refresh ing view of the future. If this amendment should ever become a part of the constitu tion what a glorious harvest it would open up for the army of folders and pasters, and how they would rush to Ilarrisburg, there to revel in green fields and pastures new. But it would not fare so well with the next radical candidate for Ucited States Senator, because ho would then be compelled to pur chase three times as many votes to Becuro a caucus nomination as is required cow. And then the anuual volume of the Acts of As sembly would contain about twenty-four hundred pages almcst twice as many a3 the first volume of Bates' Military History. We do not anticipate the passage of this amendment by the House, and we have re ferred to It simply to show what wild and visionary schemes can enter Into the head of a radical legislator. Fools will sometimes ru-h In where angels fear to tread. If Adaire, or some other radical member, will offer an amendnfent to the constitution strik ing from the first section of the third article thereof tho word vhite, and get the radicals to vote, for it, he could make himself useful and active, and secure a wide reputation. The people of the State would then have an opportunity, through the ballot-box, of de ciding the question of negro suffrage iu the caly fair and legitimate manner in which jt can ever be disposed of. Cut that is just what the radicals in the Legislature are afraid to do. They prefer to repudiate the declaration plainly set forth in their own na tional platform, and coward like to take shelter under the protecting wings of a Con ics&ional amendment. Another Raid on tle Treasury. Of all tho cunning devices to filch money out of the State treasury none is more plaus ible and at the same time more indefensible than the one contained in the following bill which is now pending before the Legislature: Mb. Rooiks (Philadelphia) introduced the following bid, which was referred to commit tee: Whereas, It is proposed by Renger Prothers to establi-h a regular steamship line between Philadelphia and 'Hamdurg or Bremen; and Whereas, It is manifestly for the in'erests of Pennsylvania that such line e established, and it is sonnd policy to encourage the project by reasonable donation; therefore. Be it enacted, &c. That five thousand dol lars be paid to the projectors for each round trip no', exceeding fifteen, to be made during the term of one year from the due of the pas sage of this act, the trips to commence at Bre men of Hamburg, and tiic money to paid as the steamers leare Philadelphia, each trip of the steamers to be not le?s than twel ve hundred tons burden, with four hundred emigrant ca pacity. In event of the disability of a steamer, another may be substituted. The line has the privilege of touching at Southampton. It is conceded on all hands that Philadel phia, the second city in the I7i,t in point of wealth and population, ought to have a line of steamships to Europe. That she has not long since had such a line in successful operation speaks loudly against the enter prise and public spirit of her own citizens. For many years a vast amount of talk and a great deal of newspaper writing have been expended on tho subject, but nothing has been accomplished. In this respect Balti more is far in advance of that city, having a regular lino of such steamships, which has been established by the liberality of her own merchants without any foreign aid or sub sidy from the Maryland Legislature. The proposed line of steamships will enure to the benefit cf three parties the owners of vessels, tho city of Philadelphia, and the Pennsylvania Rail Road Company. If the steamship company itself is not competent to start the enterprise, what is to prevent the two rich and powerful corporations we have named, ar.d who are to be the recipients of the profits if there be any, from standing between the steamship company and a fail ure of the project. If they are to be the gainers in the event of success why not run the risk of a possible loss in the event of a failure ? The very fact of asking a donation or subsidy from the State assumes, not only the possibility but the certainty that the scheme will not prove remunerative. In view of this contingency the State is mod estly asked to make good the loss. We doubt whether any other city than Philadel phia or any other corporation than the great mammoth Pennsylvania Rail Ror.d Company would make 6uch a demand under similar circumstances. As well might the State be asked to cover the losses of a steamboat com pany engaged in carrying passengers and freight between Pittsburgh and New Orleans. The claim would be equally as meritorious in the one case as in the other. We deny tho right of the Legislature to put its hand in the State treasury and pay to this steam ship company five thousand dollars of the people's money as a bonus every time that one of its ships steams into its dock from Hamburg or Bremen. The people's treasury cannot legitimately bo invaded for any such speculative and unwarrantable purpose. It i a burning shame and humiliation that the great and opulent city of Philadelphia, In stead of putting her own shoulder to the wheel, should call on Hercules for help. It is a still greater shame that the Pennsylva nia Rail Hoiul Company should knock at the door of the State treasury imploring aid to the extent of seventy-fiv6 thousand dollars instead of unlocking the vaults of her own As the enterprise is purely local so will be the distribution of its benefits. If the mer chants of Philadelphia want a line of steam ships to Europe, and if their interests will be subserved by its establishment, let them pay this subsidy themselves or do without it in the future as they have done in the past Washington and Ilarrisburg. The amendment to the constitution con ferring suffrage upon negroes has passed the Hoasa and is now before the Senate. It will undoubtedly pass that body, but for reasons stated in another article we adhere to the opinion that it will fail to receive the ratifica tion of the Legislatures of three-fourths of the States. The much talked of Civil Tenure law, which was repealed by tho Ilouse, has not yet been finally dispose! of by the Sen ate. The indications arc that the Senate will only consent to a slight modification of tho law, and that Grant will commence his offi cial career a3 President fettered by the same chains which were forged by radical malig nity for the wrists of Andrew Johnson. No definite action has yet been taken in re ferenco to the Province of Mississippi. As the radicals will want the votes of the Legis lature of that State to enable them to fasten negro suffrage on the North, it is utterly impossible even to conjecture what legislative outrage they will resort to in order to accom plish that purpose. Mrs. Lincoln's peti tion for a comfortable pension has come to grief in the Senate, the Tension Committee in that body having reported that they know of no law which will warrant the Committee in granting her prayer. Mcorhead has recently made several vigorous efforts to resurrect bis short tariff bill, but in every instance the vote, like his tariff, was sltortof the required number to galvanize his bant liug into life, and he is no Moor()head than evet- The U. S. Senators from Geor 1 have not yet been admitted to their seats in the Senate, nor will they be, for the reason that the Legislature of that State expelled the negro solons from that body just as the Rump expels a democratic member when scat is contested ju3c davs ago a bill was Introduced in the Ilouse from the Committee on Foreign Relations, by one of its members, providing for the annexation of tho black republic of Saint Domingo to the United States as a "territory whenever the government of that country shall so desire. How any sane man could seriously entertain such a proposition is beyond mortal compre hension. Saint Domingo embraces the east ern portion of the Island of Ilayti. It is called a republic, and contains a black popu lation of 175,000, who are ignorant, indolent and constantly in a state of rebellion. If Saint Domingo should be annexed, Ilayti, comprising tho western portion of the island, wou'd follow in her footsteps with a b'ack population of COO.OOO. Hay tl once belonged to France, and in 1791 the French Assembly, iu tho name of "Liberty. Fraternity and Equality," declared all the slaves on the island free. Immediately afterwards what is known in hi.-tory as the massacre of Saint Domingo took place, in which the entire white population, amounting to twenly-Ave thousand souls, was swept from tho face of the earth in one bloody, indiscriminate slaughter. From that day to this, a period of seventy-eight years, the population of the Island has been in a state of chronic revolu tion. Saint Domingo owes a debt of fifteen millions, which, in the event of its annexa tion, would have to be assumed by this government. One would suppose that oujr brief experience of the "man and broth-" both as a voter and a lawmaV ould have more than satisfied '' ?sane ravng . of even W(""wl Phillips himself. But the radicals in Congress, in the plenitude of their spurious love for liberty, seem to think that "Uo pout up Utica contracts our powers. The whole boundless continent is ours." The bill was laid on the table, but the latest advices from Washington state that another effort will bo made to secure its passage. The legislative mills at Ilarrisburg is fur nishing the usual grist of local laws, which are of no manner of interest except to those immediately concerned. If the Legislature wero to bit constantly from the first Tuesday in January to the second Tuesday in Octo ber wo have no doubt it would invent enough of that kind of legislation to keep it continually employed. How true it is that the world is governed too much. The Registry bill has not yet been discussed. The House passed a bill, unparalleled in legislation, to cheat the democratic candi date for Receiver of Taxes in Philadelphia out of his office, to which he had been elect ed last October, but before the Senate could act upon it he filed his official bond and thus the attempted fraud failed. With- am, a democratic member of the Ilouse from Philadelphia, has been unseated and his place given to a radical, on the oaths of sev en men, one of whom is charged with mur der, and tho others are well known thieves and pickpockets. Beyond these two par tisan acts we have not noticed anything of special interest in the proceedings of our State Legislature. Ilarrisburg Correspondence. Uarrisburg, Feb. 8, 1869. Dear Freeman The last week has been an eventful one. We have had the Editorial Convention, as you do doubt remember. The editors wero scattered around promiscu luslyfor several days. The proceeding of their convention has already been published, and if you think they are of any interest to your readers you can readily procure a copy. My own impression is that they are about as interesting as a Dutch almanac. Then we had the Republican State Committee here, and since they have been here I don't feel so much like betting on the nomination of his Excellency for Governor. They have resolved to hrld this convention on the 23d of June, in Philadelphia. It is generally understood lhat his majesty wished the con vention to be held on the 2nd of March, and since the committee have not seen proper to consult his wishes in the matter, his chances don't look so favorable as they did a week ago. It will be a great misfortune to the democrats should he be left out in the cold. There are some insinuations that your State Senator, Harry White, wouldn't feel him self at liberty to decline a nomination by the radicals. For the democratic nomina tion Gen. Cass is etill in the lead, with a very fair show of success. The opinion of leading democrats, here is that the conven tion should not be held until July or Au gust ; in fact, it appears to bo the general impression throughout the State. Strange to say, the pasting and folding swindle was not under discussion in the assembly this week. It was engaged principally in local legislation. There was a joint resolution passed requesting our Senators and instruct ing our Representatives in Congress to op pose the passage of any law placing tele graph lines in the hands of the general gov ernment. This is an important matter to the people of our Commonwealth, and I am glad to see that it has been passed. There is talk of a final adj mrnment on the 10th of March, the Committee of Ways and Means having reported a resolution to that effect. But, judging from the number of bills to be acted on. the length of the sessions that have been held, and the number of bumcombe speeches that will be made, if tho preceed ings thus far is to be a criterion to the kind of speeches we aro to have, and I think your readers will agree with me that they ore more notorious for bumcombe than for argu ment, the probabilities aro that the sessTon will be prolonged considerably beyond that time. They propose to hold night sessions part of the cotniug week, and business will go through with a rush. Jj. Thk Law of Lidkl.

If Simon Cameron does not "hang his hide on the fence," as be threatened to do, the Democracy will. Thk Radical State Central Committee took occasion at their late meeting to pass a resolution recommending the passage by the Legislature of a Police bill for Philadelphia, which takes all controll from the hands of the Mayor and vests it in a body of partisan Commissioners.

Whether these men will consider themselves bound to obey the peremptory order of the Radical State Central Committee remains to be seen.
