TIJE FREEMAN. &BENSBURG, PA., TnvnsiAV, : : : : Fkb. 18, 18G9. Thb members of the Democfa'ic State C iromittee are called to meet at Bolton'a lLitcl, Hrfrrisbnrg, On March SOth. Tlio DlCeieuce. The Radices are fn I of imagining their President elect the counterpart of Byron's "Corsair" : 'Rut who that thief ? his name on every fch ore In famed4and fcaied they ak and know no mrre. With these he mingles not but to command ; Few are his words, but keen his eye and hand. Ne'er ns he with mirth their jovial mess. But they forgive his silence for success." The great pity, however, is that, if we are t believe Wendell Philips and other great luminaries of the party, they cannot com plete the parallel as follows : "Ne'er for his lip the purpling mp they JtH, That goblet passes him untasted jlill.'' ' A Daniel Come (o Judgment. On W educe lay, the 10th instant, when the United States Senate and IIou.se met in joint convention to count the votes for Pres ident and Vice President, and when the State cf Louisiana was called, one Mull ins, a member from Tennessee, who is regarded by common consent as tho IuDg's Fio! of the Houe, moved that tho vote from that State (Louisiana) should not be received. The House, however, cot seting tho forco of Ml!ins' objection, decided by a large rnajor ty that the vote should be counted. In the it.t of members voting to exclude the elector al vote of Louisiana we find the name of Daniel J. Worrell. Such is his estimate of the respect due to tho expressed will cf a povereign State when a majority of its citi z r.B Bee proper to vote the democratic ticket. If the State had voted for Grant Mr. Wor rell would doubtless havo viewed the matter in quite a different ligh. A narrow fueling if political bigotry can produce a sudden and wonderful change on the judgment of some men, and especially of 60me Congress m n. A Disgraceful Scene. Both Houses of Congress met in j ant con vention on the 10th instant, in the hall of the House of Representatives, to count the electoral votes for President and Vice Presi dent. An immense crowd of spectators was present, including most of tho representa tives of foreign governments at Washington. The proceedings, although common place, are novel and interesting, and ought to be conducted with a proper degree of dignify and decorum. It so happened that the State of Georgia was the last State called. Ben. Butler was determined to create a Grst class row over the vote of that State, and was entirely successful in his efforts. lie object ed, for certain reasons, to counting the vote of that State. Ben. Wade, who presided over the j int convention, refused most vehe mently to listen to the bully boy with the cocked eye, or to entertain any of his mo tions. Butler was overbearing, dogmatical, tud insolent, a3 he always is. Some of his radical friends came to his re.-cue, and by voice Htd gesticulation urged tho man of plate and spoons to "go in." Confusion worse confounded prevailed. Colfax directed theSeigcant-at-Arms to arrest all members of the House who didn't respect the ralings of Wade, from whose decisions there was no appeal. There ensued a scene of excitement, turmoil and confusion that baffles descrip tion such a scene as can only be paralleled by what has often been described as occur ring in Kit Burns New York rat pit. Butler held to liia bone with the grip of a bull ter l ier, but Wade treated him with utter con tempt. Amidst motions and objections, calls to order, accompanied with shouts and yells !n true Indian style, the vote was announ ced, the bedlamite Ecene ended, and the Sen ators and spectators withdrew. All the eports from Washington concur in reprP Fenting the proceedings as disgraceful beyond all precedent, and Butler, as the chief actor and instigator, meets with bitter but deserved denunciation. Tlgorous Economy. At a meeting of the Radical State Central Committee, held at Harrisburg on the 4th instant, the following resolution w as adopted: Whthias. Vigorous economy ban been made a crdinnl principle of the Republican party, therefore Kesolved, That we do sincerely desire that all persons occupying an oDiei.it position shall Vive a due respect lor tbe same in all their ac tions, believing that the future success of our party depend largely upon the strict observance of that principle. It is some consolation to know that the thunders of popular indignation hare at last worked up the radical leaders to a pro per sense cf the profligate extravagance which has made the administration of John W. Geary so odious to the people. But will the admonition of the State Central Commit tee be bee led ? Wo fear not. Glendower could call spirits from the vasty deep, but they would not come at his bidding. If the Legislature fcha'l prove as vigorous in its economy In the future as it has been vigor ous in its extravagance of the people's money in the past, there will be a time for g-neral thanksgiving and joy. Any person who will consult tha report of the Auditor General for the last year will be amazed at the magnitude of the current expenses of the State government. The Legislature conta;ns liow just tho same number of member that It did ten years ago. and yet the expenses have increased fee fold. The amount paid l)T printing alone is enormous, aggregating about one hundred and thirty thousand dol lars. Indeed, the Treasury bleed at every )re, and illegitimate plunder u the rule and tot the exctptioa. The number of officials jn both Uiuses is double what it formerly was, or what it ought to be. The expenses of the Adjutant General's office are beyond our comprehension. What his duties are In a time of peace, it is difficult to tell. The t ffice itself would seem to be more for orna ment than use. Only a few days ago the annual appropriation bill was reported, and to our surprifce we find in it an appropria tion of nine thousand two hundred dollars to the State Historian and his clerks. Is this scandalous swindle to be continued for another year ? 15y the specific terms of the last appropriation to this work, made in April, 1SC8, it was to be comp'eted for that ami unt in one year. On every principle of economy the j X ought now to stop, after having cost the State about twelve thousand dollars for the first volume. A committee of the House having unseated a democratic member from Philadelphia a bill is now be fore the Legislature r posinz to pay him one thousand dollars. If it is done it will simply amount to a legalised larceny of that amount from the Su.te Treasury. There were seven witnesses examined on the trial of the case, and the cun.mi.tee on accounts ask an appropriation of nine hundred dollars with which to pay them. This lavish, reck less expenditure U frightful to contemplate. It is by Mich criminal squandering cf the public money as in these instances, and they are comparitively trifling to others, that the huje mountain of our annual State expenses is piled up. The people will not, and ought not, longer submit to it. It ts the last straw that breako the camel's back, and unless there is a speedy and radical reform, especi ally in the expenditures of the national gov ernment, repudiation, disgraceful and dis honorable as it would be, may yet become the last refuge of an oppressed and lax bur dened people. The Xegro Amendment. The constitutional amendment conferring snffrageuron the negroes in all the States, his passed both Houses of Congress, and will now bo sent to the different State Legisla tures for- ratification or rejection. Thus is the stately fabric of our national constitu tion, the precious legacy transmitted to us by the sages and patriots of the revolution, being steadily undermined, and the rights of the States, unchallenged and unassai'cd for more than three quarters of a century, slowly but surely swept away. Our national cov enant has ceased to be respected, and the work reared by the genius of Wafhington, Madison and Hamilton is now tossed between the two Houses like a shuttlecock by tha Sumners and Wilsons of the Senate and the Covodes and MorrelU of the House. Common decency and respect for the pop ular will required that so vital and import ant a change in the fuadamental law should be submitted to the judgment of Legislatures to be elected with special reference to the question involved in the proposed amend ment. But every motion having that object iu view was promptly voted down by a par tisan majority. If negro suffrage is to be the great panacea for all the evils that afflict the country, as its advocates maintain, and if it is to restore peace and harmony throughout the land, as they aver, then its adoption ought to be accompaniod with all the formal ity and deliberation befitting so momentous a question. But, above all other considera tions, it ought not to be engrafted on the constitution without the clearest popular sanction. Does the present radical Legisla ture of this State represent the voice of the people of Pennsylvania on thisjaiibjcct ? No such flimsy pretence is or can be made, lc cause under the disclaimer of the Chicago convention In lu pWfovm of any intention to regulate the elective franchise in the North ern States by Federal interference, and its distinct declaration that "the question of suf frage in the loyal SUtfcs properly belonged to Vie people of lliose States," the people of this as well as aU the other States did not and could not pass judgment on the question at the last election. Besides this, it is a well known fact that when John Hickman, a leading radical member of the last Legisla ture, offered an amendment striking the word ! white from the constitution, his proposition received the beggarly number of orJy twelve votes. In the States cf Michigan, Kansas and Ohio, in each of which tbe question of negro suffrage has within tho past year been sub mitted to a ve'e of the people, u has been overwhelmingly defeated. The Legislature of Ohio will reject the amendment because the question of negro 6ufffaga in that State was a dtstinct issu?. But in Michigan and Kansas, in which the members of the Legis lature were elected after negro suffrage had been defeated, the amendment may be rati fied, in opposition to the clearly expressed will of the people of those States. This is nothing less than a deliberate fraud. This amendment has been forced through Congress not so much from any inherent love of the radicals for tbe negro as from a desire to get his vote. It is a party job, and is not dictated by any higher motive. Sumner, who can stoop as low to conquer and who can descend to as grovelling depths as any other demagogue when political success is to be achieved, boldly admitted, in his speech on this amendment, the true object which he and his party friends had in view. He want ed tho votes of tbe "man and brother" in the Northern States, and in order to secure them he was prepared to throw philanthropy to the dogs. Here is what he said : 4,I do not depart from tbe proprieties of this occasion when I show how completely the course 1 now propose harmonizes with the re quirements of the political party to which I belong. Believing most sincerely that the Re publican party, in iu objects, U identical with the country and with mankind, go that in sus taining it I sastatu those comprehensive chari ties, I cannot il imply see this agency lose the opportunity of confirming its supremacy. You need votes in Connecticut, do you not? There r three thousand fellow citizens in that State reaoy at the call of Congress to take their piace at the ballot box. You need them also i' i oiuwyuanja, do you not? There are at teast nfieu thousand iu that great State wait t.ig for your fcummons. Wherever you most will all rote to, IW who etaad by tbe ii the assertion of equal rights, hut in standing by them you stand by all that is most dear in tlie Republic. Pardon me, but if you are not moved by considerations of justice under the Constitution, then I appeal to that humbler motiva which is found in the desire for success." Is this the entertainment to which we were invited by the Chicago convention? After having made a solemii pledgo to the American people, they turn around and with worse than Parthian treachery, deliberately and perfidiously violate it. This is the boasted peace that was to smile over the land in the event of Grant's election. With the establishment of negro suffrage, not by the conseat of the people of the Northern States faiilyand legally expressed, but by the votes of negro and carpet-bag Legisla tures ir. six Southern States, there never can and never will be peace. Let the people prepare themselves for the next arbitrary stretch of power. It will surely come. That will be a blow aimed at our foreign population. Negroes may be enfranchised by thousands by virtue of a few lines written with the pen.'but intelligent and educated fureiguers must be hedged round with cunningly devised plans to ob struct and if possible prevent their way to tho ballot-box. IJarrlsbarg Correspondence. Hakrisbubo, Feb. 13, 18fi9. Dear Freeman Legislation up to this time has been unimportant to the citizp" "r the Commonwealth generally. !y a t"e bills passed beinz Jocal character. There are r a number of public bills to be ronofclomh howtver. The f. Bowing bills routing to your county, are before the Leg islature : A supplement to an act incorpo rating tbe Stony Creek Bridge Company in the borough of Johnstown ; an act authoriz ing the School Directors of the borough of Millville to borrow money ; an act extend ing the jurisdiction of Justice of tho Peace in certain criminal proceedings and in cases of purety cf the peace to certain districts ia the county of Cambria ; and (if yours were not a temperance community, Mr. Editor, I would take the liberty to suggest that they brace their news with something of a stimulating character before coming to the next act, lest the shock should be too much for their delicate constitutions,) an act to remove the Seat of Justice of Cambria county from Ebensburg to Johnstown, in said county. As there is no telling what disposition will be made of the public bills now before the Assemby. I will not occupy your space with a list of them. Ihere is a joint reso lution under consideration instructing our Senators in Gmgress and requesting our Representatives in that body to use all hon orable means to prev r.t the incorporation of railroad c mpanies" by tho general gov ernment. This is an important retolution, and it is to be hoped that it will pass. There has been several resolutions offered this week for the pay of witnes-es in the Bunn-Witham contested election case. For tha fees and mileage of several witneses the small matter of nearly a thousand dol lars is asked for. and a clerk to the commit tee three hundred dollars now is demanded. When you take it into consideration the fact that Mr. Witham bad no witnesses, and there were but seven btfore the committee, it will be quite an item for the taxpayers to ruminate on. We have had no political excitement for tht last week the call of the Radical Con vention for tbe 23d of June, and the proba bility ;f the Democratic Convention being called at a later day, (the Democratic Stato Committee is railed to meet on Tuesday, the 30th of March.) has dampened the po litical ardor that was manifested two weeks ago, General Geary for the Radicals, and General Giss for the Democratic nom inations still apppear to have the lead- The wetaher has been delightful for sev eral days past, and our Harrisburg folks are taking advantago of it, particularly the la dies. This city is noted for its beautiful ladies of first class unlerstandiDg. If any of your readers doubt my word let them call at the Firemans Fair, now in progress at Braut's Hall, where they will not only see the ladies, bf.t several other articles of an interesting character, among the rest a natural velocipede. That is a curiosity in itself. But the velocipede is not so great a curiosity after all. as it is a hobby that the ladies cannot ride without putting modesty to U. uiuoH.. Spalrvng of modesty takes me iuto the Fair again. Just imagine yourself surrounded by a galaxy of bright t3"es, rosy lips, and a forest of luxuriant curls. How can you withstand all these sweets ? Each one of these divine creatures has a lottery of her own (woman is a lot tery any howj and before you can Bay "Grecian bend" one or tother of them has your name down in a little book and all the greenbacks out of your pocket for a chance in a water silk, a silver tea pot, or one of the cosiest little cradles you ever did see. If you desire to make a practical use of the latter, you can d.T it in a moral way, and through the church, by proposing to one of the fair witches by whom yon are surrounded at this Fair. 11. Fi'NKbai. of Jamks T. Brady. The New York corresponded of the Philadelphia Age, under date of 11th inst.. writes as follows: The funeral of the greatest criminal lawyer that New York ever knew, perhaps, James T. Brady, was to-day solemnized at the Ca thedral of St. Patrick, in the presence of a crowded corgregation. embracing all the well known members of the bar, the clergy, the press, the medical profession, the army, navy and Senate. A large Lumber of la dies were also present, weeping and. in mourning, fr although Mr. Brady died a bachelor, yet he had a large circle of female acquaintances, and will bo very much miss by them. Gentlemen of all sects and per suasions were represented at his funeral? I noticed several Protestant clergymen among the mourners in the central aisle of tho Ca thedral, and there were also a dumber of distinguished men of tbe Hebrew faith as well. The greatest lawyer in civil practice, Charles O'Conor, assisted by A Oakey Hall and a cumber of other genilemen distin guished at tho bar, served as pali-bcarers. A magnificent msss for the dead was song, and a dozen clerglymen assisted Archbishop McCloskey at the ceremonial. Tbe deceased had an immense practice and was reputed to be very wealthy. One insurance compa ny alone in this city paid him a retainiug fee of $10,000 a year, in order to have him watch their interests. B-ady Lad a bead which resembled that of Webster's more than that of any other man known in pub lic life. He had the faults of a great and majestic heart and intellect, yet his generos ities and geniel qualities, endeared him to all who knew him. Of all leading Dem ocrats he was the most lenient and forgiving to his political adversaries. In walking down Broadway Brady attracted the notice of every one by his majestic port and leon ine face. And now it is all over, and the great orator and jurist sleeps in the vaults of St. Patrick's, with his father and elatiyes, and some other member of the bar will, per haps, after great difficulties, fill his plac.

President Johnson has issued a pardon for Dr. Mudd. one of the Dry Tortugas piisoners, confined for alleged complicity with the assassins of President Lincoln. Efforts are being made to secure the release of Arnold and Spangler, confiued at the same place on a like charge. Repeated experiments prove that paint applied between November and March, will last twice as long as that applied in warm weather. The reason is that in cold weather the component parts of tho paint form a hard substance on the surfaca, almost as herd as glass ; but in warm wether the oil penetrates the boards, and the paint wears off. A young woman named Annie O'Ncil was discovered in one of the corridors of the White House, on Wednesday evening, mov ing towards the private apartments of Pres ident Johnson. When asked her business, she said she had been sent by the Almighty to kill Andrew Johnson. An unloaded double-barreled pistol was found in her pos session. This young lady is supposed to be insane. Carlo, a Dubuque dog large and strong is said to have saved the Uvea of four persons, na dragged a creeping babe from under the feet of a pawing colt ; pulled two drownit.ing girls from Lake Peosta, and gripped his master' coat tail one dark and stoimy night, as he (the master,) headed for a stream where the bridge had just been swept away. Carlo has the unmuzzled free doru of Dubuque at all seasons. A correspondent writes thus about tha United States Senate : "It is only a few weks since one of its members was expelled for the fourth time from a temperance socie ty ; another has recently been shown to be deep in a half dozen land swindles. Iconld name a dozen who have become millionaires under very suspicious circumstance? ; and now comes another corruption, smelling quite as strong as any of its predecessors." The remains of David E.

Junius Brutus Booth, the great tragedian. Considerable speculation is caused by an official report wnich shows, that of tbe ad ditional bounty claims paid and rejected up to the end of last year, Maine had 53,200 of these claims paid. New York 45,031. and Pennsylvania 31,555. Now when we con sider that Pennsylvania furnished five time? as many troops as Maine, and yet has only a few more than half the number of addi tional bounty claims allowed and paid, speculation is increased. Who can fathom the bounty mystery? Dr. Jennings, a well known and highly respected physician of Titnsville, came to his death involuntarily on the 9th inst., by taking a deadly potion of tincture of aconite root, which he mistook for tincture of orange peel- Feeling unwell, he went into the drug store, as was his habit, and- the vials standing on the same shelf, and being of the same Eize and general appearance, and holding conversation with a friend at the moment, he teems to have accidently taken the wrong one. This was before breakfast, aDd about 11 o'clock he was a corpse. How a Radical Senator got Ricn Don Piatt, the Radical correspondent of that Radical sheet, the Cincinnati Commer cial, will sometimes tell some ugly truths in reference to Radical officials. He thus speaks of a crtain well-known Senator : I look across the street and see in front of a Senator's house the carriage of another Senator. The pair of blooded horses cost some thousand dollars. The gilded harness is in keeping. The close, shining coach is one of Brenton's best, lined with silk velvet, and graced with the choicest and thickest of plate glass. On the coackman's seat sit two of God's creatures, called men ; one a bright mulatto, tbe other a white man, both in lively. They sit in nolemn silence, un der their gay robe of furs and white gloves Directly the door of the house opens, and two ladies carrying a poor man's fortune on their back, descend the steps. The footman swings down and opens the door, with an easy grace the master cannot imitate. Th door closes with a bang, tbe footman mounts, and the coach rolls away. Well, it seems but yesterday that tbe owner of all this came here a poor man. We remember tbe fairy tale where the old witch touched the pumpkin turned it into a coach, and touched the rata and turned tbem into horses. And so the ugly witch of the lobby touched the poor man, and out of the fraud came the coach, and out of theft came horses, and swindle drivers, and stealings oil and Jjuruiah. Like that witch 1 1 could touch that man with this delicate little pen of mine, and carriage and horses, coachman and footman, would all disappear.. For honor and honesty would claim their own. and the very clothes would fall from the backs of wife and daughters. Don Piatt. 'TI1E TELEGRAPH." published at KenoS sha, Wis., says: A Good Medicise.

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.CO, AND CESTBAL PACIFIC RAILROAD CBHFY FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS. This great enterpie is approaching comple- 1 tion with a rapiditv that astonishes the world. Over fifteen (15- 0) miles have l-een built by two (2) powerful companies: tae Union Pa cific Railroad, beginning at Omaha, building west, and the Central Pacific Ra'lroad. begin ning at Sacramento, and building east, until the two roads sh 11 meet. Less than two hun dred and fifty miles remain to be built. The greater part of the interval is now graded, ai d it is reasonably expected that the throngh connection between San Francisco and Ifew York will be completed by July 1. As the amount of Government aid given to cdi is dependent upon the length of road each shall build, both companies are prompted to great efforts to secuie the construction and control of what, when completed, will be one and tbe only grand Railroad Line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific co .sts. One Hundred and Ten Million Dollars ($110 OOO.UUO.) in money have already been expend ed by the two powerful companies engaged in this great enterprise, and they will speedily complete tha portion yet to be built. When the United States Government found it neces sary to secure the construction of the Pacific Railroad, to develop and protect its own inter est. it gave the companies, authorized to build it such ample aid as should render its speedy completion beyond a doubt. The Government aid may be Lriefly summed up as follows: First. The right of way and all necessary timler, and stone from public domain. Second. It makes a aouation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile, which, when the road is completed, will amount to twenty thr e million (23.00U,OJO) acres, and all ol it within tweuty (120) miles of the raiiroa't. Third. It loins the companies fifty million do'.l-rs ($50,01:0.0 JO), for whkn it takes a scond lien. The Government has nlrendv loaned the Union Pacific R;ii'road twenty four million and fiity eight th.u-and dollar9$24 05S,bO ) and to the Central Pacific Railroad seventeen million six hundred and forty eight thousand dollars ($I',MsJ,tiOO). amounting in all to foitv-one million seven hundred and six thous und'dollars ($ 11 ,7CG 000)- The companies are ermitted to i.-sue their own Firrt Mortg-'ge B.'ads to the same amount as they receive from the United States, a:id i.o m- re- The companies have sold to perraaiu nt investors about (HO.OJO.OliO) foity million do lars of their First Mortgage Bonds. The companies have already paid in (including net earniiigs'not divided, grants from State of Cali fornia, nd Sacramento city and San Francisco,) upwards of vf 5,t'0'J,KJU) twenty-five million dollars of capital stock. WHAT IS THERE YET TO BE DONE ? In con ideriug thia question it must be re membered th it all the remaining iron to finish tbe road is contracted for, and the largest por tion !:iid for and now delivered ou the line ol the Union Pacific Railroad ami the Central Pa cific Railroad, r.nd that the grading is almost rhiished. WHAT RESOURCES HAVE THE COM PANIES TO FINISH THE ROAD ? Firt. They will receiae from the Govern ment as the road progresses about $9,u00,0J0 anditional. Second. They can issue their own First Mortgage Bonds for about S9.000.0o0 addi tional. Third. T' e companies now bold almost all the land they have up to this time received Jrom the Government; upon the completion of the road they will have received in all 2."1.0iKl, 000 acres, which at $1.50 per acre would be worth $34 500.0ilU. In addition to the above the net earnings of the roads and additional capital, if necessary could he called in to finish the road. WAY BUSINESS- ACTUAL EARNINGS. io one has ever expressed a doubt that as soon as the road is completed its through busi ness will be abundantly piofu;!b!e.

HOW LARGE A BUSINESS IS IT SAKE TO PREDICT FOR THE G.iEAT PA CIFIC RAILROAD? We would give the following-facts aetived from Shipping Lists, Insurance Companies, Railroads, and general information: Sbips goiu.; from the Atlantic around Cape Horn, 10C. ... 80,000 tons.
