Wednesday morning, Aprilll,lB66,
FOR GOVERNOR,
Maj. Gen. Johp W. Geary,
OR CUMBERLAND COUNTY
WE aro opposed to the extreme
measures of the radicals in Congress.
We are opposed to Stewart's proposi
tion of "universal amnesty and univer
sal suffrage." We don't believe in uni
versal negro suffrage, (which would
also giro him a right to hold office,)
neither do we believe the pardoning
by wholesale every rebel in the land a
fair or honorable trade 'to secure uni•
versal negro suffrage.
Now that the rebellion is at an end
we dont intend to work in harmony
with the extremists, Sumner, Wilson,
Stevens & Co.—they must be compell ,
od by the people to take a back seat
that peace may come—that future
troubles may be avoided—that pros,
verity may prevail throtighout the
Union. In Union there is strength,
but there can be no union of action by
the Union party on measures to which
a largo majority of the people are op.
posed.
Dirlt is surprisingly strange what a
singular phase the Radicals put upon
the result of every election now being
hold. Wherever the National Union
party gains the day, they say this is
an expression of the people's sentiment
against the policy of President John -
son. Copperheads don't bear the stilt•
ma of any defeat, but all goes on Mr.
Johnson's shoulders. We advise them
to make such allusions more general,
for when the people do once under•
stand that the question at all elections
is "Johnson or anti• Johnson" they will
be prepared to meet it, and such over
whelming numbers will rally to his
support, as will crush the hopes of the
triumphing radicals, and knock their
pet policy of universal suffrage into a
cocked hat. Bring out your "big guns"
and let us hero them boom. There is
no use going behind the bush; make
your issues fair and square, and let the
people have time to reflect.
THE Journal & American editors will
have it that we voted for Andrew
Johnson for justice of the peace. Per
haps we did. There was no man run
ning for tho office in opposition to Mr.
Johnston who would or could hold the
office if elected, and for this reason we
"went it blind," not knowing or caring
who wo voted for. We did not exam
ine the ticket placed in our hand at
the polls by a Union man. If the edi
tors don't like the way we voted they
can lump it. We never could seo any
fun or principle in running a man for
an office he did not want norcould not
fill if elected. When we want instruc
tions how to vote wecertainly will not
go to editors who tried to defeat a part
of the soldier ticket last fall and de—
nounced one of the most worthy of
them as a sneaking guerrilla.
Tnn Journal er, American editors ex
poet to influence their readers against
the President by withholding his flies
sages and giving but their opinion.
None of the President's important
messages from his inaugural to the
present time have appeared in that
sheet. If any dale subscribers to that
paper have read either or all of the
messages, they read them in the Globe
or some other paper than the Journal
& American. Would it not be as sat
isfactory to the Journal & American
subscribersif the editoravould publish
the President's messages and let the
readers judge far themselves of the
honesty and correctness of his policy?
The editors should remember that
most of their readers aro quite as com
petent as they are to decide upon the
honesty of. the President.
THE tyranny of party leaders will
soon be more sensibly felt by the peo
ple. Thad. Stevens is an old leader—
always in advance of his party—no
measure can be too extreme for him if
it has in view the recognition of the
political etivality of the negro with
the white man. The people of the
loyal States will not endorse Ste—
vens' extreme notions, and they will
not be "whipped in" to the support of
any man for the united Senate or Con
gress who does.
President Johnson is denounced
by the extremists as a traitor to the
party that elected him, because ho has
exorcised the constitutional right to
veto unconstitutional bills. The Pres_
ident says the bills are unconstitution
al and otherwise objectionable. Several
Republican Senators, Representatives
and members of the Cabi❑et (who
could not be whipped into the radical
traces) endorse his position, but they
are not denounced as traitors to the
Union party. ' Why is this?
THERE was quite a mix up at Gen.
Grant's Levee in Washington on Fri
day. night last. The ex-rebel Vice
President Stephens was there receiving
marked attention. Thad. Stevens was
there; President Johnson was there;
Montgomery Blair, Gen. Howard, and
a host of other distinguished gentlemen
were there, with a havy sprinkling of
ladies. The President and Tbad.held
11 pleasant conversation for a consider
able time. •
A Note of Warning,
The Now York Times, in all matters
appertaining to the White House, is
credited with superior facilities for ob•
taining information. It is said, also,
to - possess good opportunities for know
ing something of coming events in
certain high quarters in connection
with the Administration. In this view
of the case, an article in the Times of
Friday, on the President and Congress,
more. especially the extract which fol
lows, will he read with interest. We
quote :
"The manner in which ho has exer
cised the vast patronage at his com
mand affords, perhaps, the most obvis
ous illustration of the President's mag
nanimity towards his detractors, and
his fealty to the party that elected
him. Now and then radical prints
have circulated stories imputing to
him an intention to drive hard bar.
gains when t ppointments to office
were in question. But we have long
since put down all such accusations to
the general account of lying with
which the journals referred to are
chargeable. For to this day no estab
lished case has been heard of in which
appointees have been selected from
amongst the Democrats; not one in
which the claims and wishes of Repub
licans have been disregarded We do
know, however, of instances in which
the recommendations of his Radical
revilers have been respected by the
President, and of others in which per
sons have been allowed to remain in
office, notwithstanding their active
and wholly unjustifiable hostility to
his proclaimed policy. Wo do knoll'
that some of the most active intriguers
against the President, in Washington
and elsewhere, aro holders of office
from which he may remove them at
his pleasure. This state of affairs can
hardly Le looked for muck longer. 'They
that take up the sword shall perish by
the sword.' And office, holders and of
fice seekers who choose to make war
against the appointing power should make
up their minds to the chances of Warfare.
But at present the most remarkable
exemplification of the patience and
generosity of Andrew Johnson is fur•
nished by the aspect of the patronage
question at Washington.
The Times maintains that the Presi
dent has abandoned no principle and
will abandon none, that the difference
between him and Congress, w:is not
provoked by him, but has been brought
about by men in Congress, intent on
measures at war with the Constitution.
On this point we quote again from the
Times.
"The country will not forget, then,
that the critical period through which
we are passing, is the result, not of the
President's caprice, obstinacy, or am
bition, but of the -disposition of the
radicals to force through legislation
looking to the establishment of negro
supremacy in the Southern States. On
all practical questions, and on all the
issues of the war within the limits of
the Constitution, the Union party
in Congress is in harniony with the
President. The differences that exist
have their origin in theories at vari
ance with the Constitution, and utter
ly incompatible with the perpetuity of
the Union. The responsibility-, what.
ever it may amount to, attaches not
to the President, who is willing to con
cede everything but his sense of con—
stitutional duty, but to those who in
sist upon having their own way in
Congress regardless of their cons°.
quences."
The Civil Rights Bill
The Civil Rights Bill was passed in
tho Senate oh Friday last by the nec
essary two third tote over tho Presi
dent's veto as follows :

LATER,The 13111 passed the Mouse
on Monday and is now a law.
re_ The President submitted grace
fully to the action of the Senate in ig
noring his veto. That is more meek
ness than the radicals evinced when ho
vetoed their Freedman's Bureau Bill.
They couldn't contain their wrath,but
spurned him and denounced him as a
traitor, betrayer and a despot.
State Elections,
General Burnside has been elected
Governor of Rhode Island by the Un•
ion party without opposition.
General Hawley has been elected
Governor of Connecticut by the Union
party by a majority in the neighbor•
hood of 500.
ONE fact stands out most prominent.
ly :—the leading radicals fought Pres
ident Lincoln quite as bitterly as they
now fight President Johnston. Th 3y
failed to crush Lincoln and they will
fail to crush Johnson.
THE New Jersey Legislature has ad
journed without electing a Senator in
the place of Mr. Stockton who was re
turned by a vote of the Senate. The
vacancy having occurred during the
session of the Legislature the Govern
or cannot appoint, and the election
goes to the next. Legislature.
THE Freedman's Bureau has recent
ly received satisfactory reports from
different portions of the southern states
regarding the condition of the freed•
men. They unite in the statement
that they are exhibiting great enter
prise and energy in prosecuting their
labors, and are nearly self supporting.
A SPECIAL dispatch to the President
from Leavenworth, Kansas, says that
the majority at the election there was
solely on an issue of sustaining his po•
lloy, and that the candidate was elect.
ed on it.
Gem Joe, Lane Stands by the Piesi—
dent.
In the U. S. Senate on Friday last
Gen. Lane of Kansas, introduced a re ,
construction resolution, and made some
reniaks. We have only room for a few
paragraphs and we publish them to
show what the Gon. thinks of the Presi
dent's course so bitterly denounced by
some men of the same party.
Mr. Lana said :
"I do know,that the Republican par-.
ty, of which I em a member,is crumb
ling to pieces and that every day we
postpone the reception of these States
insures the destruction of that party.
Mr. President, I have been labor
ing for months•to harmonize the Pres
dent of tho United States with.
the majority upon the floor of Con—
gress. I thought; yesterday, that
there was a hope of securing such har
mony. It did seem that some of the
members of his body were disposed to
harmonize with the President of the
United States ; I proposed to go very
fhr to secure that harmony yesterday.
While pursuing this course wo are awe,
kened by one of the most vindictive
assaults that ever was made upon any.
official, by either friend or opponent,
from the Senator from Ohio [Mr Wade].
He charged my personal friend, a man
who for two years sat, side by side with
mo xvhon I learned to respect and ad.
mire him for his pluck, his ability and
his integrity, and to love him for his
manly virtues. A man whom I believ
ed originated as the candidate of the
Republican party for the second place
within the gift of that party ; a man
whom I urged upon the Republican
convention at Baltimore as their can
; a man whose election I did my
utmost to secure against the friends of
the Senator from Ohio. In the most
critical moment of that political cam
paign I was called upon to defend the
candidates of the Republican party
against an assault similar to that made
by the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Wade)
yesterday. I defended the candidates
of the Republican party against that
assault and I defended the President
of the Republican party against a sim
ilar assault from the Senator from Ohio
to day. Despot, a dictator, in what ?
Seekini , ° to reconstruct the rebellious
States, ho says, in violation of the
wishes of the Congress of the United
States. When Mr. Johnson took his
seat in the Presidential chair, I ask,Mr.
President, what had Congress done ?
They had done this; the people had
done this. Mr. Lincoln had marked
out the policy of reconstruction adop•
ted by Mr. Johnson and pursued by
him since, and (he people of the Uni
ted States and the party to which the
Senator from Ohio and myself belong.
ed had endorsed, by triumph- majori
ties, that form of a policy, in violation
of the wishes of the Congress of' the
United States. He calls him a despot
for proposing to reconstruct the insur
rectionary States upon the theory ex
pressed in that joint resolution, annul.
ling the ordinances of secession, rati
fying the amendment to the Constitu—
tion and abolishing slavery, rep ndia.
Ling the rebel or Confederate debt,and
emloreing the national debt, and ex
tending the right of suffrage to all col
ored men who could read the Consti
tion of the United States and sign
their names and to all colored men
who paid taxes upon $250 worth of re•
al property.
Mr. President. I am not as conver
sant with the constituents of the Sena
tor from Ohio as he is, but I will ven
ture the assertion that outside of New
England there is not a single State in
this Union, not one State, but will by
a majority vote, endorse the policy of
reconstruction advised by President
Johnson, and expressed in that joint
resolution. You cannot go before the
people of this country in a policy to
give unqualified suffrage to the blacks.
You cannot find a State outside of
New England, in'iny judgment, that
will endorse such a policy and restrict
it to the qualification clause, as the
President of the United States recoms
mends, and you can carry the Repub
lican Union party everywhere and
with unanimity. A despot for exer
cising a constitutional right in vetoing
a bill of this body!
Mr. President, bad the Senator from
Ohio occupied the position occupied
by President Johnson, in my judg
ment he would have vetoed the civil
rights bill, A despot ! What is the
exercise of the veto power? It amounts
merely to a vote to reconsider, with the
lights of his reasons. When, before,
has the exercise of a constitutional
right justified a political friend of the
President of the United States. to de- 1
nonnee that President as a despot and
dictator 1 The President has been, and
is now, in my judgment, as anxious to
harmonize the difficulties of the Union
party as any Senator on this floor. If
he was met in the same spirit,that par
ty would be reunited and this Union
would be restored. His advances are
met by insult. His advances aro met
by denunciations from the heads of the
Republican party upon this Senate
floor, in language without a parallel.
So far as I ant concerned. Mr. Presi
dent, I propose, to-day and hereafter,
to take my position alongside of the
President of the Republican party,and
stand there unflinchingly, defending
him against the Senator front Ohio, as
1 defended his predecessor against the
Senator from Ohio.
Toward the conclusion of his re
marks, he referred to the Connecticut.
election. One more victory like that
would ruin the Republican party. It
was the first scratch of the handwrit•
ing on the wall. He was not the defen•
der of the President's speech of Pcbra
ary. He believed the President was
excited when he made it; he had been
provoked to it by what bad been said of
him in Congress.
The Question of a General Amnesty
WAslizicoroN,April 9.—The question
of a General Amnesty has been seri
ously discussed in Cabinet on several
oceasioni; of late. The President has
been strongly urged by many influen
tial Radical Republicans to take this
step. It is known that at least three
members of the Cabinet are strongly in
favor of it. It is not improbable that
the President may be induced to take
this stop at an early day.
James Brooks, editor of the 'New
York Erkess, was denied his seat in
the House to day by a majority of
of twenty votes.
The Fish Bill.
This important act of legislation has
received the signature of the Governor
and is therefore a, law. Tho Harris
burg Telegraph, Etpoa,king of the bill,
says :
The bill as passed finally is very
nearly similar to the shape in which it
was presented to the Legislature by
the Executive Committee, appointed
by the State Convention called for
that purpose and held in this city last
fall. The amendments ornbracean ex
tension of the operations of the bill to
the Swatara and certain other streams
not named in the original bill; appoin
ting but one emiemissioner, instead of
One and (we assistants ; reduces the
per diem pay of the commissioner from
ten to six dollars; and cuts off the sec
tion prohibiting the construction of
fish dams and fish baskets in any part
of the streams indicated in the bill. If
we except the last, it will be seen that
none Of these amendments are of an
important nature ; and even the ex
clusion of the fish baskets s3ction is a
matter of very little moment, for these
already are prohibited under a severe
penalty in the Susquehanna, the North
and West Branches and the Juniata
by the law of 1836. The section, there
fore, was deem() l unnecessary, and
might with propriety have been left
out of the bill when it was originated.
The bill in the shape in which it has
become a law meets with the hearty
approval of the Executive Committee,
and other friends of the Fish Restora
tion measure, as being in every sense
adapted to secure the great object in
view.
We presume that in accordance with
the provisions of the law, the Gover•
nor will immediately appoint a com
missioner, who will proceed at once
to the performance of the duties'enjoin•
ed upon him in the streams, in order
that tile several corporations or other
parties owning the dams in the streams
indicated in the law may proceed to
alter them in the prescribed manner;
and as these alterations are required
to be made by the first of next Octo•
ber, it is possible that by next spring
we may be able to regale ourselves
with a really fresh shad, at a very tri•
fling expense.
We might add, also, as a matter of
congratulation to the citizens residing
on that portion of the Susquehanna af
fected by the darns in the river at Col
umbia and Safe 'Harbor, that by re
cent legislation oral° State of Mary
land in connection with this State, the
Susquehanna canal company,who own
those obstructions, are placed in such
a pecuniary condition as will enable
them to comply with the provisions of
the act without the least embarrass
ment ; and that wo have the official
assurance that tho company will make
immediate arangements for that pur
pose."

TUE SESSION•
Four months of the present session
have passed, and the record cannot af
ford much satisfaction to tho lover of
the Union to contemplate or to recur
to. IL has' been a period of transition,
of preparation, and of discussion, pro
paratory to the final settlement of the
great question of reconstruction, and
Congress has gradually assumed an at
titude of direct hostility toward the
President. Tho finances, the revenue
tax, the tariff, the military peace es
tablishment and other important ques
tions remain undecided, and Congress
thus far has been playing against the
President, to find itself check mated
in every move. The ultra emancipa
tionists, who have secured Li borty,and
now demand Equality if not Fraterni•
ty, find that during fbur months' con
test with Ow Executive, they have
made no headway, but. they are none
the less steadfast, and their fixedness
of purpose consecrates effort into the
Solemn energy of duty.
THE PRESIDENT
Mr; Johnson, on tho other hand, is
tore and more convinced in his own
mind that his policy is the right ono,
and he firmly believes that there will
be a grand popular Movement in favor
of that policy, so strong is his reliance
in the ultimate sagacity of the honest
popular judgment. Nothing can do.
price President Johnson, whose prom
inent trait of character is intensity of
his will, from the position which ho
has assumed, and although he has not
thus far exercised hie power in the de—
fense of his policy, by removing from
office all who have opposed it, he will
not much longer remain neutral in his
own case. Before the close of the pros.
cut month we may expect to see some
new moves on the political chess
boarn.
NEW POSTAL LAWS
The new postal law, adopted a few
days since by Congress, provides that
all dead letters shall be returned to
the writer free" of charge. The issuing
of money orders of' sums less than
twenty dollars, and the charge of ten
cents thereafter, that shall be good if
presented within a year after date,
but no longer. In case of the loss of
the order it may be duplicated without
charge. Railroad companies shall
carry the person in charge of the mails
free, and all such matter as the Post
master General may direct. For inju
ring or defacing mailable matter de
posited in any receiving or delivery
box, a person can be fined $lOOO, and
imprisoned not more than three years.
VISIT of A. H. STEPHENS TO OEN. GRANT.
Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia,
attracted considerable attention at the
White House, but owini , to the crowd
of visitors waiting • for admission, was
compelled to leave without seeing the
President. He called upon General
Grant, and the General has returned
the compliment. The conversation
naturally turned on Southern affairs
and reconstruction. Mr. Stephens re
iterates his positive convictions that
the people , of Georgia are sincere in
their expressions of submission andfu
ture loyalty, and naturally desires the
speedy ad mistiiou of her representatives
SOLDIERS ' BOUNTIES
The Second Controller furnished
Representative Julian with a carefully
prepared statement, from official data,

quired to equalize soldiers' bounties,
as provided for by Mr. Julian's bill in•

met with the approval of the Soldiers'
and Sailors' League of this district.
The Controller estimates the sum re.
quired at, a little less than 8200,000,000.
