IN ors NEW OFFICE.
We have the satisfaction of tuanoun-.
sing Ist our readert that we have at length
got comfortably fixed in our new office,
specially hunt at a heavy expense for our
accommodation. We now claim to have
a Printing office unsurpassed by any in
the State, in firdematic arrangement,
and capacity for general work. With a
large Campbell Power Press, two &st
rata Hand Presses, and a full and com
plete asestment of Job Type of all kinds,
we are prepared to execute Job Wbrk of
all descriptions, from large Posters to the
smallest Cards, including Addresses,
Pamphlets, &c., as neatly and cheaply as
the same class of work can be done in
any once in the State. Our friends, as
they some to town are invited to give us
a call.
Quir heavily. increased circulation—be-
lug largely in excess of that ever reached
by any newspaper in the county, and
exceeded by •few papers in the State—
makes our advertising column a desira
ble and almost indispensable medium for
Business men, Executors, Administra
tors, and others who desire to reach the
public in connection with sales of Real
Estate and business generally. The
STAR AND SINTINEL is read weekly by
not less than term thousand persons in
Adams and adjoining counties. As ad
vertising pays the advertiser just In pro
portion to the number of persons reached,
business men will at once see the impor-
tance of availing themselves of our ad
vertising columns. •
The Improvements and ine.eased ta
eilities thus introduced in our office have
necessarily devolved on us a heavy out
lay of money. We have cheerfully in
curred this largecxpenditure in our de
sire to furnish a first-class family journal,
and meet the wants of this community.
Nor shall we spate additional expense In
the future fully to meet every reasonable
demand upon the office. We acknowl
edge our indebtedness to those friends
who have manifested their appreciation ,
of our efforts by prompt pre-payment of
their subscriptions, and shall be glad to
twelve a similar recognition from 'our
subscribers generally.
Quite a number of new names have
been added to our list during the last two
months. effort on the part of
each subscriber wo largely increase

thie paper, promote the circulation of

most effective mode of impressing the
public mind, is the extensive circulation
of home papers. Go to work, friends.—

•well by his speech in April, 1834, on
Nullification, as by his Naos on Black
stone's Commentaries, all pf which are
pervaded by the same dangerous theories.
In one sentenceehinjudgment, as , .
de
liberately expressed by himself, is :
. ,
' " EACH STATE HAG TRH RIGHT TO :ODOR FOR

Every man who may vote for him, will
sanction this utterance. If judge Smuts
woon should be elected, he could fairly .
hold that this Opinion had beevendorsed
by the people And if he should make
his judicial judgments conform thereto,
be' could fairly,shield himself behind the
approving vote of the people.
We will not argue this point. We
never believed in the right of a State to
nullify a law of Congress, or to secede
from the Union. We do not now. But
Judge SHABSWOOD is on record, in his
own words, in favor of both thasepropo
sitions ! No man can deny that.
On the other ian' ,read what AlinnEw
JACRB6N sitid on it z point. We quote
from, his Pr. .. : tion of December 10,
1882:
"I consider, then, the power to annul a law

FORMED."
SHAMWOOD'S eentimeut is the essence
of Disunion, and Anarchy ; JACKSON'S,
of Union, frnd Order. Let the people
judge.
BENJAMIN G. HARRIS, an avowed
sympathizer with the Rebellion, who re
presented the Fifth Distribt of Maryland
in the Thirty-Eighth and Thirty-Ninth
'Congresses, has recently written a letter
on general politics, which contains some
statements of value.
He was elected $ Democrat in the fall
of 1863, 'And was one of seventy Demo
cratic members of the House. He thus
commenis on the action and views of his
Democratic colleagues :
"While in their hearth .they did not wish
the success of the North in their nefarious
and urtjustifiable war uperi the South, they
yet discovered wonderful_ policy in pretend
ing to wish it. They shrieked for the Union
made the strongest war speeches, while
they whispered to the knowing ones of their
party that deception was the surest means of
getting power, and when power was obtained,
then—they would do the expedient?'
We put this statement on record, as
boldly made by a living man, a member
of the last Democratic National Conven
tion, and a conspicuous member of the
Democracy of Maryland, who is among
those named for the next nomination for
Governor.
He convicts of the grossest hypocrisy
and dishonesty, his Democratic colleagues
in Congress ; and squarely charges them
with not wishing to see the South con
quered, with pretending .to be for the
War and the •Union, and yet admitting
that they were engard in a stupendous
conspiracy to deceive the people--prom
ising secretly that, when they got in
•
power, they would act in harmony with
.their real feelings.
The People could not be induced to
trust the men who had betrayed them
but a few years before; and these shame
less gamester never got power. As +a
result, the South was conquered ; Slave
ry was killed and buried ; the dignity
and rights of the Union were asserted
and vindicated; and HARRIS whines
over his calamities, and tells how faith
less and truthless were the Democratic
Representatives in the Thirty-Eighth
Congress. •
Tam party ' of re-action in the South
are straining every nerve to thwart the
COngressional plan, and thus indefinitely
postpone Reconstruction. Of this party,
BENJAMIN H. HILL, of Georgia; .a lately
pardoned Rebel Senator, BENJAMIN F.
PERRY of South Carolina, and ROBERT
Towels of Georgia, are great lights.
That our people may understand the
argumen
l
sed, we quote the following
paragrap from the last letter of Govern
or Per . :
`,'Let us remain as we are, under a tempo
raiy military government, and waitor a re
action at the North. The Oonservative party
North are as much opposed to the Oppressions
and tyranny which have been imposed on the
Southern States as . we are =selves. They
are daily pinink strength, and will be soon
in a majority, and then our deliverance will
come."
Whoever therefore votes with the
"Conservative," or Democratic Party
(for they are the same),-will cast a vote
against Reconstruction,and will strength
en the hands of the leading Rebels of the
South who hear in the adoption of the
Congresslonalplan, their death-knell.
IV-is complained, that the present mil
itary govermient of the South is expen

THE great ignorance which is a marked
characteristic of the Seuthern States, is
illustrated by the fact that of 631 white
voters in the mesa intelligent county of
Arkansas, It 4, or more than one-fourth
can not write.
The cause of this is, no Slave State has
ever had e system of .Common Schools.
The poor had no opportunities of educa
tion. The ruling class were able to edu
cate their children at prIG - e schools, or
by private teachers, and were unwilling
to be taxed for a genera l Jstem of
schools. And all this disre 'of duty,
and denial of facilities for education to
the pocir of. the State, were done in the
name of Democracy ! •
We are glad ;to see that, in every South
ern State, the I ftepublicans have pledged
themselves to, AI system of Common
Schools. An edneatfd youth are the
glory and the 'strength of a State. Let
the South make haste to wipe out the
stain of shame. And lit the' North do
more to - banish ignorance, and extend
the blessings nfon,
.and elevate

the position and eini4ge the privileges of
Labor. Let u$ has*, or hear, in South

Phitadetpkta Age of 23d of February,
1864, where the opinion is published in full.
It may alsoicle found in the Legal Intelligen
cer of %act 18, 1864, page 92.
In Judie SHARSWOOD'S dissenting .
Opinion in the case of ItesviriE vs, SAI
LOR (published in the Legal Intelligeneer
of May 6, 1864), he went further, and de
nied the right of Congress to issue Treas
ury Notes; much less make them a "le
gal tender" in the payment of debts.—
His lapguege is :
"I am of opinion that Congress had no
Constitutional power to invest the Secretary
of the Tretumuy with authority to issue bills
of credit intended to circulate as money—
much less to make them a lawful tender."
The Philadelphia Age of 28d February,
1864, publishing the Opinion in Bolus
us. Tim.; highly eulogizes the Judge,
saying : .
"Judge iIIIABSWOOD reasons upon and de
cides the ci4te as If he were Some lofty spirit
sitting far shove and out of the contentions
and strifes pf the world."
Will not the holders of greenbacks and
GoVernpient bonds consider the judge as
quite too elevated and ethereal for such
earthly honors as a seat on the Supreme
Bench ?
A Qu*rrioN has been raised as to the
power of President JoHNsoN to remove
Secretary STANTON. This is clearly set
tled in the following paragraph from the
Chicago; Tribune :
"The law provides
'That the Secretaries of Sate, of the Treas
ury, of War, of the Navy, and of the Inte
rior, the Postmaster General, and the Attor
ney General, shall hold their offices respect
ively for and during the term of the Presi
dent by whom they may have been ap
pointed,' or for one month thereafter, subject
to removal by and with the advice and con
sent of the Senate.'
"Any Opinion :Mr. Senator SHERMAN may
have expressed during the debate on the bill,
has no bearing as against the language of the
law itself. Messrs. SEWARD, WELLES and
STANTON were appointed by Mr. LINCOLN,
whose 'term' commenced March 4, 1865,
and will end March 3, 1869. Mr. Jolts
sox himself is merely serving out the unex
pired portion of the term of Mr. LINCOLN.—
The law fixes that term, as the term of the
Cabinet officers ; and the President, by law,
is prohibited from the removal of either one,
unless by .and with the advice and consent of
the Senate. That disposes of the question of
the power of removal."
Two years ago. the Democratic pa
pers were loudly in favor of prompt Re
construction, in the interest of peace, of
industry, and prosperity. Congress is
about to restore these States on a loyal
basis; and the active efforts of the Dem
ocratic politicians, North and South, are
now exerted to vote down Conventions
in the disloyal States, and thus prevent
the taking of the first and indispensable
step, vik : making a State Constitution.
The reason is, the Southern States are
pretty sure to come back Free, Republic
an States ! This was not in the pro
gramme. Hence, the change of policy.
The Republicans have always been in
favor of loyal and early Reconstruction.
They broke down the PB.ESIDENT'S plan
because it restored the rebel leaders to
power, and put down the Union men of
the South. They have substituted a plan
of their own, which reverses this posi
tion. They will carry it out, notwith
standing all obstacles; and the country
will yet find peace in the complete ac
ceptance of the Congressional plan.
Ix XentllCky, it is considered adisbon
or to have been in the Union army ;
while it is such a merit to have been in
the Rebel army, that two of its Colonels
were considered worthy of election the
other day, to important State oftbses by
the Secession Democracy. And it is such
a victory the Democratic newspapers of
the North are now rejoicing over. In
confirmation of our statement respecting
public sentiment in that State, we ask
attention to this paragraph:
The Paris .True Kentuckian of June Bth,
contained a significant card from Dr. W. J.
Teutarr; of Centreville, Ky., who - said: "As
I am informed through reliable sources that it
is reported in this community that I was with
the Federal army during the war, I wish to
pin the lie to it by making a public denial
through your paper ; for I was not associated
with that army in any capacity during the
war, and defy any one to prove the contrary.
I am only anxious to deny the reports because
I know that they were promulgated by some
maliciously diapoied person or persons, with
a view of ptejudicing the public against me."
Evidently, Kentucky needs "recoil
itructhig" very badly. It is very natu
ral t4t in a community so devoted to
the "lost cause," the Republietm party
should be in a minority.

great significance. It will work a revo

conquest of the Rebellion. Thus, a

and opening an Era which will be con

HoN. JESSE D. BRIGHT, then of Indi
ana, was expelled from the U. S. Senate
in the spring of 1862 for having given
"ald and comfort" to the enemy. He
has since removed to Kentucky, and, at
the late election, was chosen to the State
Senate by the Democracy of Carroll and
Trimble counties. He made a speech in
Carrollton, on the 3d of August, of which
a synopsis is as follows :
"He started off by saying he-had always
been a States Rights Democrat. He de
nounced Mr. LINCOLN,- DOUGLAS and ANDY
Jormsox in the most bitter terms ; said that
the Democratic Senators from the South did
wrong in vacating their seats at the beginning
of the war; said. Mr. LINCOLN had no power .
under the Constitution to call out any troops;
was opposed to paying , the public debt; that
Kentucky ought not to pay another dollar un
til her Representatives were admitted, and
that if the , South ever regained her rights it
would be by the sword; and said if that was
treason, the Government might make the
most of it; was in favor of returning every
slave to his original master ; was in favor of
a law in Kentucky that every one who lost,
anything in Kentucky during the war, or by
the war, should be paid, and that the General
Government should refund it to Kentucky;
*as in favor of Gen. W. 0. Brnix (who
was present) for the next President ; said that
the national laws were notto conflict with the
State laws, but were only auxiliary to them."
The first and the last remarks prove
that he and Sfraitswoon are in full polit
ical sympathy. The views expressed in
the body of the speech, are undoubtedly
Kentucky and Maryland Democracy.—
Let the people beware lest by nurturing
such men they encourage such opinions i
and make another war necessary to com
plete the work of the last.
Tip.; Berks county Republicans have
"given no uncertain sound." At their
recent county meeting they resolved that
"it is absolutely and indispensably ne
cessary for the Republican party to main
tain a majority in Congress, and to elect
a President and Vice President, whose
past life, whose public record, whose open
and public declarations in support of
radical Republican principles aid mea
sure*, and whose sobriety, political and
moral honesty, can be trusted in and re
lied upon as a guaranty against subse
quent desertion of friends, spostacy to
principle, and treason to country A*
humanity, to succeed the present 'acci
dental incumbent."
The Republican Party owes it to itself
and its principles to elect, as the next
President, a DISTINCTIVE REPUBLICAN,
one who has a nucortp, who has been
TRIED and has proved FAITHFUL, and
upon whom the voters can RELY as true
to their convictions and purposes.
The Party cannot afford to run the
risk of another betrayal. And it dare
not outrage the - confidence of the coun
try as in 1864, when it threw overboard
a tried and true man,' and nominated
ANDREW JoitxsoN who never even
called himself a Republican ! The his
tory of that act of shame need not now
be written; but the result of it should
remain a monument of folly, and a
warning against the recurrence of like
injustice and Impollcy.
THE Berko county Democrats recently
resolved "that this Union is composed of
separate, equal, sovereign States, and
that no right, or shadow of right exists,
under the Constitution. - for Congress to
hold sovereign States as subjugated prov
inces under military rule," 4i.c.
This is the language of Secession,
whatever be the meaning they give to it.
This claim of Sovereignty in the States;
if true, justifies Secessiqn, and proves the
.Rebellion to have been the exercise of a
rightful power by dissatisfied States.—
We suppose, this is what the Berko coun
ty Democrats meant to say. Their hearts
and hopes were always with the Rebels,
and are now.
Had the Rebel armies whipped the
Union armies, the Rebel States would
have been an independent power, by vir
tue of the verdict of force. As the
Union armies defeated the Rebel, the
Rebel States are not an independent
power, but are subject to the will of the
conquering power, which is the Congress
of the Union—and this, by virtue of the
same verdict of force to which both pia
-ties appealed for the settlement of the
conflicting claims.
Nothing can be plainer than this ; but
l3erks county Democrats are wholly un
able to see it. Their love of Slavery,
their sympathy With the Rebellion, and
their hatred of progress in the direction
of Enlightenment and Liberty, blind
their eyes, and pervert their judgment.
THE Harrisburg Telegraph makes a
sharp point on Hon. Wilmer& A. WAL
LACE, Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee.' It states that he prOcured a
negro to go into the army as his substi
tute ; and it argues that it is indecent in
him to abuse the race, one member of
which had the courage to stand between
him and the bullets of a common enemy.
The Telegraph thinks if Mr. WALLACE
considetod a colored man good enough to
be hie military substitute hr war, he
ought to consider him good enough to be
his political equal in peace.

men, women, and children—were holding a

night of week before last, and the congrega

they were fired into by a party of seven—or
rather some seven shots were fired—which
wounded fourteen or fifteen mea'and women,
some of them severely. This is a type of the
character of outrages occurring all over the

Is Charleston, Gen. SICKLES has issued an
order in relation to certain monies advanced
by South Carolina Banks during the war for

TOE necessity for the laWs protecting the
freedmen was never more strongly-illustrated
than in the case of the brothers Wrrnaow,
near Lebanon, Ky. A colored girl, aged 16,
for a trivial offense, of which she was not
guilty. was dragged out into the woods, tied
up by the neck to a limb, and whipped un
mercifully with green with. Fortunately.
these barbarians have been arrested and bound
over in $.lOOO bail, to answer at the District
Court. Had they been brought before Ken
tucky magistrates. it is probable that very
trivial, if any bail would be required. These
vindictive assaults are very common in Ken
tucky—no less than sixteen arrests for the
same offense having been , made within the
last two weeks.
Saystim. weeks ago, we published an ac
count of the murder of a Mr. STAUFFER, of
Natchitoches. Louisiana, by thee brothers na
med .L.”tv:A—crne a judge, one a physician, and
the third a planter. The murder was com
mitted for political purposes. The planter
Jones fled tc Texts, where he now is, but the
other two brethets - were, with some difficulty,
arrested, and the jail at Natchitoches being
insecure, were taken to New Orleans and-im
prisoned in the military jail. Last week Dr.
Jones died in the prison, and on Saturday
night Judge Jones, who had been attacked
with cholera while in the jail, was removed
to the house of a relative, but died before
morning. The military authorities in Texas
have been directed to, keep a bright look-out
for the third assassin, and if he is.caught the
murdered man will be tolerably well averted.
P. S.—lle has since been caught.
GEN. POPE has addressed an important let
&tic? pen. GRANT, enclosing a speech made
by Hon. B. H. Hill, late a Senator in the
Confederate Congress, recently pardoned by
the PRESIDENT and who represents a large
class. Gen. Pora says this speech shows the
hopelessness ot any satisfaztory reconstruc
tion while such men retain influence. Gen.
Pora thinks they should be silenced,and says
it is better that the battle should be fought now.
Congress did well by disfranchising the lead
en, but Gen. Pora thinks it would have been
batter to have banished them, and he is oppo
sed to relieving the disfranchised classes of
their disabilities. He says it is his duty to
state that, in his judgment, the condition of
affairs in the Southern States, even should re
construction be satisfactorily accomplished,
will, of necessity,be a reproduction in a more
or less modified degree of what now exists in
Tennessee, unless some measures are adopted
to free the country of the turbulent and dis
loyal leaders of the reactionary party. Whilst
these persons remain in the country to exer
cise the baleful influence they undoubtedly
possess, there can be no peace. $
