THE Copperheads are to be pitied.—
Since the surrender of Lee and the col
lapse of the Rebellion, everything has
gone wrong in national, state and mu
nicipal affairs—nothing right.- • From
the election of President of the United
States down to County Superintendent
of Common Schools, we have nothing
but grumbling, scolding and fault
' finding. With the collapse-of the Re
bellion has come a collapse of "the
nigger in the wood-pile," and - hence
the "onerisiness" of the Copperhead
tribe. As Nasby has it, "in addishen
to the other calamities, they hey bin,
or are about beta, deprived - uv the nig
ger, which hez bin their eheef and best
bolt." Politically they are dead,
. crushed amid the ruins of the Slave
holder's Rebellion ; "the shedders is
closing round and their nite is at
hand." We do sympathize with
them, but guess they richly deserve
their fate. -
Our neighbor of the Compiler is
deeply infected by' _the saddening in
fluences pressing on the whole tribe,
and weekly pours out his lamentations
and jeremiads over the wickedness
and waywardness of the times. The
latest occasion for grumbling is the
recent election of County Superinten
dent, which we find in a half column
of mingled misstatement of fact and
bitter denunciation of the Convention,
evidently • inspired by the defeated
aspirant for the Superintendency. The
Conipiler is simply mistaken in point
of fact, when it states that "D. A.
BUEHLER contended that there was a
special borough law allowing the ad
mission" of the Directors of York
Springs Borough. Mr. SHEELY sought
to exclude the York Springs Directors,
and, although not a member .of the
Convention,made a speech againet their
admission, reading from the School
law and decisions of the State Super
intendent as to the status of Directors
from special or independent School
districts created under the School law.
MT. BUEHLER simply explained that
the law and decisions thus quoted did
not apply to York Springs Borough, as
it had not been made a corporation or
separate School district under the
School law, but by virtue of a special
decree of Court under the General
Borough Act. The Convention saw
fit to overrule Mr. SHEELY and his
law, preferring to accept the ruling of
State Superintendent WICKERSHAM,
and ordered the names of the York
Springs. Directors to be enrolled, some
of the Democratic Directors so voting,
because of their unwillingness to vio
late the law, even to further partizan
purposes. This is the - Thole of it, ex
cept that subsequently Mr. SHEELY, in
addressing the Convention on the sub
ject of salary, made a bitter and entirely
uncalled for attack on State Superin
tendent WicK - EnsHA.3l—whether be
cause of chagrine at the latter's ruling
iu the'York Springs case, or the nat
ural cropping out of bitter partisan
ship, matters little. Although a good
bid for the votes of Democratic Direc
tors, it was not calculated to win
Republican votes.
• The truth is, that Mr. SHEELY'S ad
ministration—of the County Superin
tendency has not been acceptable.—
There has been a growing dissatisfac
tion, and iu no direction more decided
than in Districts. Hence
the reluctance of Democratic Directors
to attend the Convention, and the
small turn out. Of those who did
come, it was well known that a number
were hostile to Mr. SHEELY 'S re-elec
tion. But the manipulation of party
leaders brought most of them up •to
_the rack, Mr. KELLY and other Dem
ocratic competitors being backed off
the course. Some two or three, how
ever, refused to be whipped in and
voted squarely for Mr. WERT.
If there be anything in this statement
unpleasant to the late County Shperin
tendent, he will regard himself under
obligations to the Compiler and his
own imprudence. The attack on Mr.
WERT, and the attempt to cripple his
usefulness in official position, by pois
oning the minds of Democratic Direc
tors with gloomy forebodings of the in
evitable "nigger," are ungenerous and
simply betray the keenness of disap
pointment in the result of the election.
Mr. WERT is a gentleman of scholarly
attainments, a practical educator, and
to Ray the least the peer of Mr. SHEELY
in every requisite for a capable and
efficient County Superintendent. So
the Convention regarded him, and
hence gave him their suffrages. We
believe that he will discharge his duties
fairly and honestly, eschewing politi
cal partizanship, and subordinating
selfish purposes to .the public good.
Now that Slavery has ceased to be a
power in the world, old Slaveholders
are willing to admit the truth about
the American branch of the infernal
system. From a recent number of the
Washington Star, which Is edited by
- a born-and-bred Slaveholder, we clip
the following :
"The alleged decrease of the actual
number of negroes since the war, through
the loss of the patriarchal institution for
their welfare (and all that sort of nonsense),
will be found to have amounted to no de
crease whatever. They have been •better
fed, better clothed, and better housed since
the war than ever before, I apprehend, and
where existing in greater numbers have al
most entirely escaped what was previously
a cause of the annual destruction of thous
ands on thousands of their children under
one yeaf old. I refer to the practice ofover
working mothers who had infants, in cot
ton and sugar fields. I have personally
known plantations on which for a series of
years seventy-five per centum of the natu
ral increase of the negroes
; It betiag, the
received theory of profitable panting; un
der slavery's rule, that it was cheaper to
buy able bands from the Eastern and North
ern slavebolding States than,to raise them.'
IT is bard to please theCopperbeads.
One would have suppceed that the
Act passed by the Legislature to abolish
the Spring elections and combine them
with the October elections—thus saving
a heavy drain on the county treasury
and saving the excitement and loss of
time incident to two elections in a
year—would be popubmwithall classes.
But our Copperheads Jve become so
accustomed to fault-finding and grum
bling, that even this sOutary reform Is
bitterly denounced as a "violent
change," and another Inatome* of
"careless and hasty" legislation. Wall,
.we think the tax-payers will approve
It at any rate, if Copperhead politic
ians don't.

New York have passed bills transfer

THE NEW HECIERTHT LAW.
gimerm - Turi trn ournrerpage to
new Registry Law, excepting that por
tion which applies : exclusively to Phil
adelphia—the provislotuf for :that city
being more stringent than thoeetor the
balance of the State. The Act is _an
important one and should be oareltdly
studied by every citizen. It seems to be ,
carefully drawn, and made sufficient
ly stringent to guard theopulity of the
ballot-box, without unnecessarily bur
dening legal voters. Of Course a regu
lar howl will go up from the domain
of Copperheadism, which thrives best
amid the slime of corruption, and
dreads nothing so much as a pure bal
lot. All good citizens, however, who
appreciate the privileges of the elective
franchise and do not care to have this
highest political prerogative of the free
man stricken down by a - recurrence of
the wholesale fraudi which were per
petrated at the last Ottober and No
vember elections,will cheerfully submit
to the inconveniences attending a Reg
istry Law, and will aid In its enforce

INTERESTING COS RESPONDENCE.
The public will remember Mr. STE
VEN'S' letter in the fall of 11367, on gen
eral politics, and especially the ques
tion of Suffrage,soon to be permanently
settled by the adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment. The views of Mr. STE
VENs attracted attention all over the
country, and were largely instrumental
in creating the public sentiment which
is now demanding a radical adjustment
of qiis long controversy.
We have recently come into posses
sion of the correspondence which
preceded the publication of this letter,
with one of our venerable citizens,
who was among Mr. S'rl most stead
fast friends in fighting the glorious
battle of Republicanism and equal
rights—Dr. M. D. G. PFEIFFER, of
New Oxford. As a matter of public
as well as personal interest, we append
it: .

L/SCASTES, Oct. 14th, 1867
DEAR Docroa :—I have been trying some
way to attract public attention to some
political remarks which *I am about to
make. I c.tn think of no way so effective
as an odd one, and no odd way so handy
just now as the ancient way of dialogue as
used by Socrates and his compeers, and I
can think of no one so agreeable to me as
one of the interlocutors, as Dr. Pfeiffer.
Of course you will be responsible for
nothing that is written, as the public will
well understand. If so, please give your
assent by return mail, and if well enough
I will send you on the first instalment at
once. After that the formality of trans
mission may be dispensed with. The first
No. will be a simple of•the whole.

ME PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPLE
TED
The great event of the day was the com
pletion of the Pacific railroad on Monday
last. The road was commenced about three
years ago, but has been pressed with an
energy and success unparelleled in the his
tory of railroad construction. At Promon
tory Summit, Utah Territory the walnut tie
and silver rail were laid, and the golden
spike was driven, which form the connect:
ing link of the Central and Union Pacific
Railroads, and the great inter-oceanic route
is completed, binding the shores of the At
lantic and Pacific in indissoluble bonds.—
The point of junction is 1,086 miles west of
the Missouri river, and 690 miles east of
Sacramento. The connection was made
at five minutes past three o'clock in the
afternoon, and while the last strokes of the
hammer were falling the tebgraph was
simultaneously repeating them in all the
large cities of the country. In New York
the great event was commemorated by the
firing of a salute and a jubilee service in
Trinity Church. Mayor Hall sent a con
gratulatory despatch to the Mayor of San
Francisco, and similar messages passed be
tween the Chambers of Commerce in each
city. In Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston
and other cities and towns, similar rejoic
ings took place, Vice President Colfax de
livering an address at Chicago upon the
importance of the occasion. Baltimore
alone seems to have allowed the event to
have passed by unnoticed. •
The road as completed extends from
Omaha, by way of Salt lake City, to Sac
ramento. It connects at Omaha with two
lines of road across lowa to Chicago, and
at Sacramento with a line for San Francis
co. The distance from Omaha to Ogden, the
point of junction, is 1,032 miles ; from Og
den to Sacramento, 730 miles ; so that the
Pacific Railroad is 1762 miles in length.—
San Francisco is 120 miles from Sacra
mento ; Chicago is 494 miles from Omaha,
and 804 miles from Baltimore. From
Baltimore to Omaha, 1296 miles, the travel
ler can go by express trains in fifty-nine
hourseor, say two days and a half. The time
from Omaha to San Francisco is not - fixed,
but it will hardly extend over four days, so
that it will be possible -to make the trip
from Baltimore to San Francisco, a distance
of 3,178 miles, in six-days.
THR. 14111 AXENDILENT.—IMPORTANT DE
CIisION.—RICITMOND, VA.. May 10.—Chief
Justice Chase this morning delivered an
opinion on the appeal from Judge Under
wood's decision in the District Court. de
claring null the sentence of Judge Sheffey,
of the State Court, on the ground of Shef
fey 's ineligibility under the Fourteenth
Amendment. The case was that of Ctesar
Griffin, a negro, sentenced to the peniten
tiary for shooting a man. The Chief Jus
tice read the opinion of the Court, holding
that a State Government in Virginia had
been recognized all during the war by Con
gress—first at Wheeling and then at Alex
andria. The action of that Government in
dividing the State had been recognized by
the Federal Government, and Senators and
Representatives elected by that Government
had been allowed seats in Congress. It
was under this Government that Sheffey
had been appointed, and he wee. therefore
a legal Judge as far as the State Govern
ment was concerned.
The question now mine up whether, be
ing ineligible, he was absolutely -removed
by the operations of the Fourteenth Amend
-1 ment. The United States District Judge
had decided that he was, but in the exami
nation of _questions of this sort great atten
tion is properly paid to the argument of
inconvenience, and a construction which
must necessarily occasion great public and
private mischief must never be preferred to
a construction which will occasion neither
in so great a degree, unless the terms of
the instrument absolutely require such pre
ference. The opinion here shows the an
archy which wouldbe produced in a State
by declaring past legal proceedings void.—
It then considers the character and intent
of the third section of the Fourteenth
Amendment, which are declared to be pu
nitive. The Fourteenth Amendment is not
self-enforcing, and it needs the further legis
lation of Congress to enforce it. Two
months after the Judgment now being re
vised was. de livered, Congress passed ajoin t
resolution providing for the removal of all
ineligible officers, showing that persons
then holding office were held to be de facto
officers, and also providing the means. for
their removal by the military.
The Court said that the Supreme Court
had unanimously concurred in the opinion
that a prisoner sentenced by a Judge de
facto, though not a Judge de Pure, could
not be reached by habeas corpus.
The decision of the District Court was
reversed, and Caesar Griffin was remanded
to the State authorities.

The Diumerisy uv the country are net in
the hippy condishen jest at this time that I
cood wish. The. Satrap at the head uv the
Gervernment, and his subordinit satraps at
the head uv the Departments, hey not lett
ez many openius tz they ought, for our
good, and the reduckshen uv the expendi
toors uy the Government so persistently
follered up is death to us. We want
.groszin, but itmust not be ny dismist clerks
and army offisem Bed the Government
put a . garrlsoginto every town ez we prof
feside it wood, and cood we hey hed this
summer, in addition, the potator rot, weevil,
frost, locusts, floods, dronth, yeller fever
and cholery, we mite hey stood some
.chance uv carryin the fall elcckshuns, for
the people wood hey murmered. But ez
long ez everything is smooth they laff at us
when we insist upon a change and say,
jeerinly, "Go up bald head !"
And in add ishen to these calamaties we
hey bin, or are jest about being, deprived
uv the nigger wich hez bin our cheer and
best holt. 0. wet a backslidin there hez
bin in this matter ! 0, wet a levelin there
hez bin uv the walls uv the Dimocratic
Zion ! 0, wet a goin Lack there hez bin
on Dimocratic cardinal principles!
Feelin au oneasinis in my mind ez to the
condishen uv the public mind in the North
ern States on the adopshen uv the Fif
teenth Amendment I determined to try a
most hazardous experiment. I lied no fears
uv Kentucky, none. Kentucky will git
ready to adopt an idea ninety years after
date, but I felt that I wantid to be satisfied
ez to the soundnis uv the Ohio and Injeany
Dimocrisy on this question.
To this end I determined to resort to
strategy. I wanted to know percisCly the
feelins entertained in those States regardin
the Afriken. I wanted to see with my own
eyes the skornful look with wuz formerly
slung at Afric's sons ; I wanted to here agin
from Democratic lips that cheerio expres
sion, "D—n the nigger, anyhow !" To ac
complish this, I determined to personate a
nigger, and in that guise to go boldly into
Ingeitny, announce myself ez an Afrikin
nigger, decennind to assert his rites, and
note the result. I expectid, uv course, to
be booted and reviled. I expectid to be
stoned and shot at, but I wood thereby kill
two birds with one stun, viz: I wood dis
gust the Ingeanions with nigger ekwality, ez
they wood see to wet it wuz leadin, and I
cood exhibit my scars to Kentucky ez proof
uv the stedfastnis uy their northern friends.
`Vat I determine upon I do. In my
younger days the fast involvin the posses
sion of a horse, wich resultid in my bein
tried for grand larceny, and convictid there
of
by 12 prejoodist joorymen, and my in
carcerashen from with I wuz only releeved
becoz my vote wuz ncedid to carry Penn
sylvany for Bookannon, this masterpeece
AVM conceeved and execooted in less than
four hours. Unforchnidy, the courts wuz
nearly ez expedishus, for four days thereaf
ter I found myself in a Basteel. •
I entered Ingeany ez a white man ; I re
jestered my name at a hotel ez a white man,
but left it a Digger, wich traneformashen
wuz accomplished by means uv burnt cork,
in my room ; with tran:fortnaslien wuz - uv
double goose, ez it enabled me to leave my
hotel without likidatin my account, wich
otherwise wood hey bin impossible. The
country in wich I landid wuz a close one,
the two parties bein nearly tied, neither fifty
votes to spare, and tLere lain over a hund
red Diggers in the county, the Afrikin will,
of the votes this fall, hold the balance of
power.
With my face and bands blackt to the
color uv nits, and assumM the character nv
a preacher in the M. E. Afrikin Church,
wich character I coed assoom, ez the burnt
cork hid the, acquired color nv my nose, I
sallied forth boldly. Procoorin the loco-
Mien uv the leadin Dimocrat ny the coun
try, wich wuz also the candidate fur Sheriff,
I sought him out and demandid a subscrip
shen for a Afrikin Church, wich I assertid I
wuz desirous uv crectin in the east part ur
the county, and uv wich I wuz to be pastor
in charge, holdin myself at the time in sich
a posishen that a kick cood do but little
damage.
I wrz NOT NICKT
On the contrary quite . the reverse ! The
gushin candidate kindly, blandly, and win
ninly begged me to be seated; he askt me,
with tears uv intrest gushin from his eyes,
ez to the prospect uv our Zion ; ez to how
many we numbered, male and female, adult
and youthful, and whether or not we coal
cut indulge a reasonable hope that many
more uv our color mightn't be indoost to
leave the South and settle in the country.
unpin to frighten him with nigger emi
grashen, wich I hed heerd him denounce
not a year before in onmitigatid terms, ;I
anserd promptly that I wuz even then ar
rangin ror the removal uv three thousand
into the county.
"Thank the Lord !" sed he. "The adml
rashen I feel for the Afrikins—the respeek
I hey for ther many qualities uv head
and heart make me say, in the language uv
the inspired writer, 'The more the merrier.'
Here is my humble contribooshen to your
church," sed he, handin me .910, "take it,
and may the Lord bless its yoose. And
next fall, after the Amendment is ratified,
and yoor people git the rites with wuz allus
theirn, I trust yoo will remember at the
polls them with hey stood poor friends, uv
whom I am one."
Dumfoundid I staggerd over to another
who was Candidate for Treasurer, and to my
surprise and horror he not only give me
1810, but took me by the arm in a most af
feckehnit manner, and insistid on takin me
round and assistin me in raisin the amount
I needid. Feelin that so far ez hatin the
nigger was concerned, all wuz lost, I reck
lessly went with him, and reely did raise
$l6O cash off uv the candidates for the
County offices, and one wich desires to
okkepy a seat in Congris. Only wunst wuz
this wretch non phased. • Turning a cor
ner sharp we came upon anthill like fifteen
gentlemen who wuz a workin on the streets
with a ball and chain attached to em. The
minit his eyes struck em he loosed his holt
of me and shot ahead, keepin in advance
till we had turned the next corner.
"Why this maneouver 2" askt I, thankful
that he had even that much uv originel
Democnitic feelin in him.
"My dear sir 1" replied he, "You will ex
cuse me, but the fact is I'm in a prekarious
aitooashen. I'M a candidate, and its close.
Them gentlemep with the ball and etraht
hey votes, and they heV a most crooil pre

rect em. The time is cumin, and I'm labor
in for it nice and day, when it will all be
removed. My deer sir, at the polls this
fall will yoo and yoor flock remember- the
sacrificial hey made and am maiCln ?"
But I did come to greet -One Iry these
candidates insisted upon takin me, nigger
ez he sported me to be, home to his house to
dinner. Injoodishus ez it wuz I went, and
Cher met my fate. He led me to a °lum

on my hands I undertook to wash em, wick
I make a pint, ay loin regerly*twice a week.

culars of the killing of Joseph. R. Holmes,
a colored man and member of the late Con
ititutional Convention of Virginia, at Char
lotte Court House, by a young white man
named John Marshall, shows that it is
one of the most premeditated, cold-blooded
and dastardly murders that has been com
mitted recently in the South. The colored
Republicans contemplated having a meet
ing at the Court House, and quite a number
of them assembled outside of the Court
House enclosure. Holmes was in the Court
House endeavoring to get a warrant for the
arrest of Marshall, for shooting a colored
man whom he was boasting he had killed
that morning. As they desired to consult
him about the arrangements for the meeting,
they sent in for him to come out. He came,
and, while in conversation with his friends
a colored man came up and said : ".Tohn
Marshall wantsto see you." Holmes turned
around, placing his back to the fence, and
at the same moment John Marshall, his
brother Grin, one Boyd, a cousin of Mar
shall, and Mackey Morris came up to him.
John Marshall addressed Holmes at once,
and said; "I untiersuuld you are going to
have me presented for shooting that nigger
this morning—is that BO 2" - Holmes replied
that he intended to have atlas shooting at
colored men . without cause- put -down, and
he had a. perfect right to present anybody
who had violated the laws. One of Mir

TV do this, the Seaweed Tonic snd Mandrake Pills
must be freely used to cleanse the stomach awl liver,
ao that thu Pultuunic Syrup and the food will make
goof blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act open tine liver, re
moving all cbatructions. relax the ducts ~t the 441:-

relieved; the stoas will show what the Pills cs it;

deadly I,,isou which is very dangeruus to nee unless
with great care), that will unlock the gallbladder
and start the secrettons of the liver like Schenck's
31andrake
Live[ Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Con4amption.
Schenck's deaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and
alterative, and the alkali in the Seaweed, which this
preparation is 1113,1 e of, assieta the stomach to throw
out the gastric juice to dissolve the food with the
Pulmoulc Syrup, and it is made into good blood with
out fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why phyeicians do not cure con
sumption is, they try to do bio much; thoy glee me
alcine to stop the cough, to et,* shills, to stop night
sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they derange the
whole digestive powers, locking up the secretions,
and eventually the patient sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck, In his treatment, does not try to stop
a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Remove the
and they will all stop of their own accord.—
No one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Com
plaint,Dyspepsia, Cstarih, Cank,r, Ulcerated Throat,
unless the liver and stomach are made healthy.
Ile person has consumption, of course the lungs in
some way are diseased, either tubercle., abscesses,
bronchial irritatioi , , pleura adhesion, or the lungs are '
a mass of intlammation and tact decaying. In such
cases what must he dons, It is not only the /nogg
that are wasting, but it is the whole body. The
stomach and liver have lost their power to make blood
out of (taxi. Now the only chance is to take Schench's
three medicines, which will bring up a tone to the '
stomach, the patient will begin to want food, It will
digest easily and make good blood; then the patient
begim to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins
to grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the pa
tient gets fls:by and welL This Is the only way to
cure Consumption.
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver Com.
plaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic and
Mandrake Pflla are sufficient without the Pulmonie
:syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bilious
complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health
fur many years past, and now weighs; 415 pounds,was
wasted away to Amara skeleton ? in the very last stage
of Pulmonary Consumption, lus physicians having
pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to
Ills fate. Lie was curet by the of medicines,

Dr. INishart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial.
It is the vital principle of the Pine Tree, obtained
by a peculiar progress in the distillation of the tar,
by which its highest medical propecaies are retained.
It is the only safeguard and reliable remedy which
has ever been prepared from the juice of the Pine
Tree.
It invigorates the digestive organs and restore! the
appetite.
It strengthens the debilitated system.
It purifies and enriches the blood, and expels from
the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on
the lungs.
It dissolves the mucus or phlegm which stops the
air•paaaages of the lungs.
Its healing principle acts upon the irritated surface
of the lunge and throat, penetrating to each diseased
part, relieving pain and subduing inflammation. •
It is the result of years of study and experiment,
end It is offered to tho afdicted, with the positive se
m:trance of its power to cure tho following diseases, if
the patient has not too long delayed a resort to the
means of cure:—
Con BUM ptlon of the Lange, Cough, Sore Throat and
Breast, Bronchitis, Liver Complaint, Blind and Bleed
ing Piles, Asthma, Whooping Cough, Diptheria, &c.
We are often asked why are not other remedies In
the market for Consumption, Coughs, Colds, and
other Pulmonary affections equal to br. L. Q.
Wis
hart's Pine Tree Tar Cordia L We answer-.
cures, not by stopping cough, but by loosen
ing and aulating nature to throw off the unhealthy
matter collected about the throat and bronchial tubes,
causing irritation and cough.
2nd. Most Throat and Lung Remedies are composed
of anodyne], which allay the cough tbr awhile, but
by their constringing effects, the fibres become harden
ed, and the unhealthy fluids coagulate and are retain
ed in the system, causing disease beyond the control
of our matt eminent physicians.
3rd. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with Its assistants,
are preferable, beaus, they remove the cause of
irritation of the idnoous membrane, and bronchial
tubeis, &filet the lungs to act and throw off the un
healthy secretions, and purify the blood, thus scien
tifically making the cure perfect.
Dr. Wishart has on file at his office hundreds and
thousands of Certificates, from Men and Women of
unquestionable character who were once hopelessly
glyen up to die, but through the Providence of God
Were completely restored to basith by the Pine Tree
