.ilt few days since the Fheaminer, the
leading Republican new•paporof Lan
caster county, had a short editorial or-
Hole fsvoring the wino a a it amend
ment to the Constitution, enforcing
Negro Suffrage upon all the States.
Since then It seems to have thought
better of the matter, and it Is now
doubtful about the propriety of such a
movement. It argues, with consider
able force, that such an amendment
would clash with the one lately de
clared to be adopted, by which the
question is left to the decision of the
States, with the provision that any
State NN Nell declines to confer the
right of suffiage upon the negroes
a ithin its limits, shall be restricted in
Congressional representation to that
extent. It shows a disposition to per
mit the people to express their views
on this question of negro suffrage, and
Intimates that it will he time enough
to attempt further constitutional
amendments when "the Maim Is fully
restored."
We are glad, remarks the Inlelligen
cer, to notice atilt appearande of ration
silty In our neighbor. We imagine it
sees clearly that any attempt to force Sue•
grosutTrage upon the people In the way
proposed; would result in the debirue
tion of the Republican party in Penn
sylvania. IL has sufficient sagacity
to perceive that a storm of indignation
would be raised should the present Leg
lalature attempt to ratify an amend
ment enforcing negro suffrage. It
knows that the people of this State are
opposed to any such movement, and
that they would insist upon the right
to be consulted about the matter. We
not believe a majority of the present
Legislature could be induced to do
such a thing. If they did, we are con
fident that the Dcmucracy would
sweep the State next full by an over
whelming majority, electing a Gover
nor, and securing both branches of the
Legislature. We imagine the Rect,vai
tier seat these things, as clearly as we
do, and that accounts for its change of
position. It Is not blind to the fact
that a very slight iange would have
given this State to t e Democracy last
October, and it knows that our party is
as strong to-day as it was then. It is
not strange that sagacious Radical poi•
iticians in Pennsylvania should be
ready to cry "bait." They know how
very slender is the thread by which
they hold their ascendency ie this
State, and are not disposed to commit
political suicide. We commend the
sagacity of the .Examinor.
=I
The Radicals of New York, because
they lost the State, charge all manner
of frauds upon the Democrats. To
show how hollow are these allegations,
we copy the following from the World;
Once again we call the attention of
the public to the fact that thesealleged
frauds could not possibly have been
committed here without the direct
complicity of the two Republican Po
lice Commissioners, Acton and Mani
erre, and Superintendent Kennedy,
nor without their party treason, for
they appointed half the election of
ficers in every district, Inspectors,
canvassers, etc. For here In this me
tropolis alone Is the right of the peo
ple denied them of choosing their own
election Ahem—denied them by Re
publican legislatures at Albany. Nor
could these frauds have been commit
ted without the party treason and the
organized complicity of all those
shrewd, active Republicans selected by
Acton, Manierre, and Kennedy for
their party fidelity, and allotted to
every election district as registrars, in
spectors, and canvassers.
Does anybody believe there was
such wholesale party treason on foot
last third of November, up and down
the rank of the officers and high pri
vates of Radicalism in the city of New
York ?
The charge.of the Union League
Club committee impeach not only the
very laws—unequal, partisan, and oner

the very working politicians of their
own party, who divided half and half
with the Dem oe rats the control of every
poling -place from King's Bridge to
the Battery.
And so we say to this eontmitte, as
we have said to the .Tribune ; to Mr.
Grinnell, who thirty years ago Inven

Greeley, who has helped usurp suffrage
from the control of the Southern States
in order to prostitute and barbarize it;

of every patriot;—to these men, and
all of them, wesey, You do hot believe

THE GETTYSBURG COMPILER, FRIDAY MORNING,
TIER PRIOR PACIFIC RAILROAD
It will he been by the new silver
tiebtnent of the Company in another
column, that MO miles of the Union
Pacific Railroad have been completed
and put into act i c operation. Porl2o
miles more the track is graded, and
the iron on the ground ready for lay
ing. More than four hundred miles
have been built ill the season of MS,
and with less than 400 mites now in
tervening the rails:, of the
Union Pacific and the Central Pacific
Companies, every Indication guaran
tees the opening of the entire line to
the Pacific in I he i arty summer of 1809.
The earnings for the year endlq June
30, were more than four million dol
lar?, on an. MN el - age of 472 miles in op
elation ; and the earnings for the lust
five months were $2,138f1.870. These
amounts are so largely in excess of the
liabilities of the Company on account
of interest upon its own First Mort
gage Bonds all Li the Government bonds
loaned to Ras a subsidy, as to allow of
no doubt that u i curb liabilities will
be promptly met when due. The road
is well' equipped, and large orders have
been given for such ail increase of roll
ing stock as fs ill be necessary when to
the local trade is added the Immense
through traffic u bleb must follow the
opening of the entire line.
Each section of twenty miles has
been critically examined by the regu
'ar Government iuspectors appointed
for the purpose, and reported to the
President as possessing all the charac
teristics 01 a first class road. A special
commission, apPoted by the Presi
dent in September last, made thorough
re-examination of 880 miles and sum
med up their conclusions by saying:
"Taken as a whole, the Union Pa
cific Railroad has been well construct
ed. The general route for the line has
been well selet ted, crossing the Rocky
mountains at sonic of the moat favora
ble passes on the,continent. The en
ergy and persevere-lice with which the
work has been urged forward, and the
rapidity with which it has been exe
cuted, are without parallel in history.
The country has reason to congratu
late itself th it this great work of na-
Ronal importance is so rapidly ap
proaching completion, under such fa
vorable auspices."
The evidence of many other able and
critical examiners of the road coincides
with this testimony to the fa ithfulness
with which .the road has been con
structed. The First Mortgage Bonds
of the Company are now offered for
sale at par and accrued interest, at
'which, price they pay a high rate eta
terest. Both principal and interest be
ing fully secured by the value of the
road and the extent of its business, It
would seem that no better investment
can be offered ; and we cheerfully call
attention to the facts set forth in the
advertisement f the Treasureflibf the
Company.

but a carpet-bug black, "born free,"
on his own showing, "iu the State of
Illinois." What then does he, this
free-born Illinois blaokamoor. as a rep
reeentative of the slave-born Louisiana
blacks? Further, it seems he voted in
Ohio for Mr. Lincoln in ISGO, and as
those so then voting were not, we know,
over-much tempted to rush forthwith
into Louisiana, it is hut fair to suppose
thhigewiman, who carpet-bagged from
Illinois to Ohlo, hardly carpet-bagged
into Louisiana, until, by such transit,
the simple suffrage of the one paled
before the ehanees of successful candi
dacy in the other. This bears date in
1887, and yet, in the name of ekal
rights, the great heart of the nation,
and so on, this Northern black pope
up in 1368 as a representative of the
late emancipated Southern slave, and
is, by this little game, to legislate for
that North, where, if he ever voted, it
was by some trick, quirk, or device.
What a game it is!
Knowing perfectly well, these Rath
cal leaders, that the genuine Southern
negro is, beyond all deesripticm, igno
rant, uhcouth. and incompetent, it
was part of the reconstruction plan to
bunt up excitptiotially prementable ne
gross throughout the North and send
them South, when-, by collusion with
the FederalotileiaLe, who manufactur
ed malorities to suit, they were install
ed in the various reconstruction con
ventions and legislatures, and then
held up as fair specimens of the aver
age negro of the Sopth. Thus, in
South Carolina, the fellow who was
Chairman of the Grant and Colfax
State Executive Committee, delegate
to Convention, and one of the so-called
State Senators, was a Massachusetts
mulatto. Holding up this fraud's
bands were a negro barber from this
city of New York and a dusky parson
of Philadelphia. In Georgia, also, "a
representative southern negro" was a
fluent half-breed, onee of the Roston
bar, and afterward u Sing Sing con
vict, with a tawny divine from New
Jersey as the Inevitable seconder of
this emissary's legislative course. So,
in Florida, Alabama. and Mississippi,
were and are Northern ingress who,
by collusion, as stated, were Juggled
into the several conventions, and now,
by underhand support of the Radical
leaders, do the piteous, the implomto
ry, and the representative for the
'spoor down-trodden _freedmen of the
South."

REPORT ON TUE CATTLE DIREASE.
The Commissioners appointed by
Gov. Cleary, of Pennsylvania, to attend
the Cuttie Convention at Spilegfleld,
Illinois, have made tleir report, in
closing the recommendations of that
Couveutton and concluding with the
following words:
That Texan rattle are not protssbly
affected by the disease in that State.
The Cherokee calf% are not found to
communicate the disease to common
stock as readily as Texas cattle. A
similar disease does affect horses in
Texas and not In the Indian coun
try. Texas cattle brought North,
either by water, or rail, or driven on
foot, may communicate the disease to
native cattle,.but humane treatment
while on the way will decrease the
danger. Texas cattle do have the din
ease
and die from it in the North, but
much more rarely than our own native
cattle. Old native cattle are much
more susceptible than young ones.
Comparatively few suckling calves die
from it. The disease, from whatever
cause, has not been cousgagnicated to
the native cattle of Miss:Nil, Illinois,
Indiana, or Kentucky.
There is scarcely a doubt that a se
vere frost removes most of the danger,
and that after the Texas cattle have
been wintered In the Northern States
they will not communicate the disease
to one another.
In some eases noted in Illinois
horses appear to have died of the dis
ease. The great martoOf this trade
are at Abilene, in Rennes, and about
the mouth of the Red river, at which
points the herds tarry Prom twenty
five to one hundred thousand head are
at all times kept, showing how im
mensely important it is to watch that
this vast usrgregation of herded cattle
Is in a good sanitary condition, as well
as that of the horses, mules, and hogs
herded nt the same or other places in

A MACIIINB for harvesting corn, by
taking the ears from the stalks while
standing In the !bald, was exhibited at
the recent State fair in Illinois. The
apparatus is constructed to strip
two rows at once. The stalks are taken

and as the machine advances, the butt
of the ear is brought in contact with a
short sickle playing at the rear of the
fingers, cutting it of; while the stalk
passes under the machine without be•

into a large hopper at the end of the
machine, and discharged when It Is

Donation Visit. —The members of
Rev. %V. R. H. Deatrich's congrega
tion, (Reformed,) made him a •`dona
tion visit" on Wednesday evening.
About half-past seven a long line of
ladies and gentlemen, bearing well
filled baskets, filed into his domicile,
and at onoe commenced "stacking"
upon his tables a tempting variety of
edibles, embracing all the luxuries and
substantial, of the season. The wa*rm
hearted pastor and wife were, of course,
very grateful for this manifestation of
regard and good will, and so expres
sed thennielves. ,
But the "stexelses",did not end here.
A large and comfortable shawl was
handed tLe,psstor, followed by the
presentation to Mrs. Deatrich of •
splendid parlor carpet, another for the
hall, and still another for the stairway.
The grateful re dplenls were over
whelmed. This succession of "sur
prises" was too much for hearts already
overflowing. At length the pastor
found words, and gave expression to
their thankfulness In terms as warm
and touching as donors ever listened to.
It was, altogeth_er, a happy scene, and
those present were "all the better for
It-"
The "Contest."—The literary con
test between the Phrenakosmian and
Philomathaean or Philomatimean
and Phrenakomulan Societies of
Pennsylvania College, drew to Awl
cultural Hall a MI house on Tuesday
evening. The programme for the oc
casion (arranged, we were teid, after
no little skirmishing) was as follows :
Select Orations—" Bernardo Del Car
plo," by Samuel Swope, Philo., of Get
tysburg; "The Baron's last Banquet,"
John Gilbert, Jr:, Phrena., Gettys
burg.
Original Orations—"ldeals," J. A.
Humes, Philo., MeAlllsterville, Pa. ;
"The War in Heaven", J. M. Relmen
snyder, Phrena., Sunbury, Pa.
Debate—"ls a Republican form of
Government necessarily better than a
Limited Monarchy?" Affirmative,
S. P. Felton, Philo., Bedford, ;
Negative, W. A. List, Phrena., Wheel-'
tog, W. Va.
These representatives of the two So
cieties acquitted themselves very cred
itably in every particular—the
constituting one of the most enjoyable
College performances we have listened
to for a long while. There was a life
and spirit about it only to be witnessed,
it seems, in a "contest."
The music, by the College Quartette,
was first-rate. More of it will always
please a Gettysburg audience.
Now that "contests" have again
been inaugurated, let them come at
least once a year. Anything less than
that would be a positive disappoint
ment to our people.
Concerts.—We are requested to stale
that Grand Vocal aml Instrumental
Concerts will be given by the Ltter.r

Inizugurcition of Preauleat Vale.nline.
—Rev. Dr. Valentine was formally In
augurated as President of Pennsylva
nia College on Monday evening. The
ceremony took place in the College
Church, in the presence of a large au
dience tfr ladies stnd gentlemen.
Rev. Dr. Schtnucker opened with
prayer. Hon. Moses McClean, Presi
dent of the Hoard of Trustees, In
handing over the keys to the new
President, congratulated all concern
ed; and gave an interesting account
of the College since its foundation,
with Its present favorable condition.
Addresses of welcome followed—by
Prof. Stever In behalf of the Faculty,
and by E. T. Horn, of the Senior
Class, in behalf of the Students.
Dr. Valentine then delivered his in
augural—an elfhrt at once so acholirly
and able as to mark out for him a seat
In the front rank of College Preal
dents.
Dr. Morris, of Baltimore, concluded
with a few remarks, complimentary,
but in good taste, of the new Presi
dent—closing with the benediction.
Dr. Valentine has served very ac
ceptably in the position slam the
death of Dr. Baugher, and we are sure
that his future wiU not disappoint the
promise held out by the past..
Gettysburg Nationca Monument,
The Board of Managers of the Soldiers'
National Ce:uetery recently met at
Washington, D. Wills, Esq., of this
place, presiding. Mr. Wills, as Presi
dent, and Hon. S. R. Russell, Treasu
rer, as well as several committees,
made reports.
The Treasurer received during the
year, including balance on head at
previous settlement, $14,628 50 ; a
mount pail out during the year on
monument, lodge house, he. ,$13,1,48 63,
leaving a cash balance of $1,484 87,
besides $22,500 invested in U. S. 5-20
Bonds. There hair been paid on the
contract for the monument $35,000,
leaving $12,500 to be paid on comple
tion of the work. This would leave a
surplus of about $ll,OOO in the hands
of the Board, which it is proposed to
appropriate to the building of an Ob
servatory on the Cemetery ground.
A most commendable project, which
we hope to see consummated at an
early day. Visitors would thus be af
forded a commanding view of the en
tire battle-Held, as well as one of the
most extensive and charming land
scapes iu the country. Up with the
Observatory! says all the world.
The Monument is to be raised in the
Spring. The shaft, white granite, Is
now ready for shipment, at Westerly,
Rhode Island. The top statue. God
dess of Liberty, 10 feet 6 Inches high,
is already here; two other statues,
"War" , and "History," are now on the
way from Leghorn, and the other two,
"Peace" and "Plenty," will be ship
ped from Italy early In the Spring.
These are to be placed at the four cor
ners of the base of the Monument.
Its entire height Is to be 65 feet.
The consecration ceremonies are to
take place on the let of July next.—
The proper committees to make all
the arrangements have been appointed.
An imposing demonstration is expec
ted—military and civic procession,
oration, &o.
Mr. Wills was re-elected President of
the Cemetery Association, and Mr.
Russell • Treasurer. The Board ad
journed to meet in Gettysburg on the
30th of Jtine next.

Conatitutiona/ Differences. There
are many constitutions so inherently
defective In energy as to derive great
benefit from a moderate use of pure
liquor combined with such vegetable
medicines and extracts as enter Into
the composition of Roback's Stomach
Bitters, and there are many situations
in which even the healthiest derive
additional security from their occa
sional w,e.
If healthy persons are exposed to
unusual and continued exertion In
confined air, or under the heat of the
sun, or to the iniluence of depressing
watchfulness by traveling, and change
of diet and water, or if residents of
malarous districts or the rank river
bottoms of the West and South, there
can be no doubt but a careful use of
Roback's Stomach Bitters with the
food would surely be the means of
warding off actual disease and ena
bling them to bear up unaffected
where, witin.tit the Bitters, they
would likely have to succumb to ths
ease. They strengthen, tone and in

Gray hairs may not mar one's good
looks and in many cases even im
prove the appearance, but as a gen
eral rule are considered objectionable
and many devices are resoned to to
prevent or get rid of them. We know
of no mode so little troublesome or ob
jectionable as the use of Ring's Vege
table Ambrosia, an article which of
late has become so Immensely popular
as a toilet article and beautifier. It is
easily applied, restores gray or faded
hair, prevents, and in many cases
cures baldness, cleanses the scalp and
leaves the hair in splendid condition
for arranging. Dec. Z. 4t
