gr :1L the Republican meeting in
Trenton, N.J., last week, Mr. Ware, a
Philadelphia negro, pithily said: "Ild
icalism is this; it you don't give it
what it asks, it will take more."
THE (gore.—Tho prospect for large
crops of wheat and ryo never was bet

Of a rich harvest.
1101_111e Boston city fathers have
extended the hospitalities of the city
to President Johnson on the occasion
of his visit there to participate in the
Masonic) tleremonies, which rather con
flicts with the conclusion reached by
the Impeachment Committee of the
House of Representatives, that ho is
"unworthy of confidence or respect of
the American people." It is of no
consequence, however. If the Boston
authorities did only want to show re
spect for the office, there aro those
of the citizens who will show respect
for the man, that's certain.
Gm. The entertainment given by tho
Tycoon of Japan, at Osaca, to the re
presentatives of foreign countries, is
an event of no ordinary interest. It
Was in the interest of Civilization,
Commerce, Progress. The crust has
lon fairly broken and a now era in
.augurated. The United States, which
stand first in the regards of our Ori
ental friends, have the deepest inter
est in the rolationa which in such a re
markable manner have been establish
ed with them; and the fact that the
Tycoon, on tho occasion referred to,
drank "the health of the President of
the United States," proves that the
feeling of reciprocity already exists.—
The future in that direction is full of
interest to the world—more especially
to ourselves.
THERE is a class of advertisements
which, while pretending to compas
sionate the follies and indiscretions of
youth and to provide remedies for the
diseases occasioned by thorn, are really
calculated to encourage the vicious
and oven perhaps to reduce tho virtu
ous and unsuspecting into the practice
of the most pernicious vices. This class
of advertisements should be regarded
ns highly injurious to public morals,
offering, as they virtually do, immunity
to licentious habits which both corrupt
society and entail disease, infamy and
death on many individuals. Itespee•
table journals should reject them from
their columns altogether. It is both
anlnsult and a danger, to thrust daily
or weekly before the virtuous sons and
daughters of a family, lists of all the
loathsome diseases that vice produces,
each accompanied with its infallible
cure and often with the advertiser's as
surance that it is a preventative as well
AS cure. Tho readers of the GLOBE
find no such advertisements in its col
umns, many dollars worth of such ad
vertising has been declined at this of
fice. Self-respect, as well as respect
for our readers, and regard for good
morals,rnako ns willing to forego pecu
niary profits from such a business.
CONFISCATION.—The Radical leaders
are still preaching confiscation of the
Southern property. Wendell Phillips,
in a recent article in the Anti-slavery
Standard, urges that the lands be divi.
ded with the negroes. Of course, the
more temperate men in the Republi
can party refuse to listen to such
preaching, as they cannot see how a
permanent peace is to be accomplished
by depriving such a large mass of the
Southern people from the lands from
which they derive their sustenance.
Rather than peace another war would
be inevitable if we should determine
to degrade and pauperize them as many
hot-headed men suggest. It would
take but little to rekindle the rebellion
in the South, and once again renewed
the spirit of the Spartan would charac
terize the Southern "chivalry." Each
and till of us hope for a speedy termi
nation of the bickerings that have ex
isted—already too long since the close
of . the rebellion; but what is to be ac
complished when ono part of the North
ern people practice forbearance and the
other preach confiscation,? Let ono or
the other be tried; but by all moans
let it be the former morn universally.
A foe is humbled by kindness and ex
asperated by malice.

over the rascality, and said that in his

into a sack of fifty snakes to find one

We know that any quantity of timid
mon will remonstrate at this, as likely
to injure our party. We think differ
ently, and firmly believe that the only
hope wo have to hold our government
in the bands of loyal men, is to )xpose
the rageality and drive out the thieves.
To remain silent is to connive at the
frauds and protect the rogues."
Vir - The St. Louis .11 cpublican—Dem
ocratic—tlinks it sees signs of the "day
ob jubilee." That all our readers may
know what so rejoices the Republican,
we quote the article in its issue of the
6th, under the above head :
"We welcome all signs of returning
peace and good will among fellow
countrymen whom the late war es
tranged and made enemies. We
wish wo could see on a large scale a
scene that met our eye at the Southern
Hotel a few days ago, where a number
of gentlemen, who were at one time
engaged in the contest now happily
over, either as staunch Union men or
rebels or rebel sympathizer's, had met
together and were over their glasses
enjoying each other's company like
life long friends. It was particularly
observable that ox-Secretary Cameron
seemed much to relish the good jokes
and lively rattle of that jovial ex. rebel,
M. Jeff. Thompson. 'lbis is a change
since the time when the ox-Secretary
was ordering rebel bridges to be burnt
in Tennessee and the ex-General was
burning Union ones in Missouri. But
we trust such changes will he frequent
and that while—on the question of
'letting by-gonc's be by-gones'—Sena
tor Cameron will be as catholic in the
Senate as he is out of it, he will find
many imitators in Congress.
THE TRIBUNE ON ORUANS.-TllO Tri
bune iu an article on "Parties—Soets—
Journals—Organs," gives expression
to its viows on Lilo latter as follows :
Little groat men raised to impor
taut stations find organs convenient
and their utterances sothing and satis•
factory ; but that is all. In the long
run, organs are more likely to mislead
them or to prejudice their policy than
to render them any substantial service.
In our judgment, an administration
which shold resolve at the outset to
have nothing like fit org,an,and sternly
adhere to that resolve, NVOnld improve
its chances of abiding success.
And it is much the same with a great
party. The ability of a journal to
help it depends on its preserving a
substantial independence. When the
public comes to know that a journalist
will always do and say just what his
party is prepared to approve—Lintt he
is a mere servitor of the parly—"not
Mr. Buchanan, but a platthrin"—his
support is Laken as a matter of COUr6O,
and carries with it no moral weight.
"The es knowcth his master," is the
popular comment on his roost fervid
and zealous eemmendathms of his
party's principles, measures, or candi—
dates.
Attorney General Stanberry's Opinion.
Tho Cabinet on the 15th held its
first meeting since the President's re
turn, and the important question so
freely canvassed of late relating to the
power of military commanders under
tho reconstruction law to remove State
and municipal officials of State goy
ornments, denominated by the act of
Congress as provisional, was among
the matters which were discussed. It
is understood that the Attorney Gen
eral holds such removals can only ho
made when the State or local officials
arc impending the enforcement of the
reconstruction law, and only then in
the way provided by said act. They
must first. be arrested on that charge
and tried in the manner provided in
the law. If convicted and sentenced,
the office which they filled of course
becomes vacant. In other words, it
is claimed that Military Commanders
have no more power over these offi
cials than they bare over any other
person in the Military District which
they command, and that they must all
be proceeded against in the same way
whenever they are charged with hin
dering the enforcement of" tho law. As
the logical sequence it is further main•
tamed that these commanders haven()
legal power under the reconstruction
act to fill any vacancy in State or mu•
nicipal office, created in that way, any
more than they have to fill a vacancy
on the bench occasioned by the death
of a Judge holding his office under any
of these State governments. These
were the points made by the Attorney
General and other members of the
Cabinet, but no final conclusion was
arrived at. If this view be adopted
by the President, it is believed that lie
will restore Governor 'Welk to his
place, and reinstate the displaced Mo
bile officials, though the Southern men
here asking for such action fear that it
will not take place until after the time
for the summer session of (Nogre,3l is
pased.

The Democratic Nominee for Supreme
Judge.
The State Convention of the Demo
cratic party met at Harrisburg on
Tuesday last, and nominated for their
candidate for the Supremo Court, lion.
George Sharßwood of Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia .Leming Telegraph,
Republican in politics, of Monday pre
vious, speaking of Juilgo Sharswood,
sai]:
"It ?s• idle and unjust to deny to a
really honorable man the merit which
due. We do nut desire to under.
rate Judge Sharswood. On the con
trary, we will give him all the praise
he can desire. lie is a lawyer of ripe
experience, an author of high legal re•
pute, and, undoubtedly a Christian
gentle Man. It is well for the Republi
can party to be alive to his merits, as
they will convince it that, in order to
defeat such a candidate, a most excel
lent selection must be made by us.
The only effect of the choice of the
Democracy sac. be to nerve us to
the selection of our very best man.
We have already reforaed to the abso
lute necessity of discarding local influ
ences. It is time that the folly of giv
ing a nomination to the west or east
of the State be abandoned. We must
take the purest, theablest, and the best
candidate available. We do not favor
any particular gentleman. Provided
the candidate poSsesses the requisites
of success, he will have our earnest sup
port. \Vo earnestly urge on our dele
gates to be careful in their choice.
TWo-thirds of the battle is fought
when the nominee is announced. Half
the iesponsibility of the campaig,ii rests
on the delegates who pleat at NV i Ha ra-
po rt. If a good standard-bearer is se
looted, one whose record is clear, we
can make a vigorous fight and win. If
an inferior candidate be rut up, Judge
Shaiswood will he elected. It must be
remembered—and we call attention to
the fact to nerve our voters to renewed
exertions:--that the majority in the
State is extremely small. A change of
ten thousand voles would lose us Pen n
sylvania, so that every exertion is need
ed. We must be as wise as the ser
pent, and the first display of wisdom
must be in the, proper selection of a
candidate for tho Justice-ship of the
Commonwealth."
We aro pleased that the Democratic
party have put in nomination so good
a man. The Republicans must put in
nomination a man equally as good or
they might as well make no contest.
We hope the nominations of both par.
ties for the Legislaturo and all other
offices may bo men of the same high
character.
The following are the platform resolu
tions adopted by the Convention:
Wo, the delegates of the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania in general State
Convention assembled, for the nomina
tion of a candidate for Judge of the
Supreme Court, profoundly grateful to
the Supreme Euler of the Universe for
the return of peace to our beloved coun
try, but deeply anxious on account of
the trials and delays which impede the
complete restoration and reunion ofall
the States, and appreciating the dan
gers which still threaten the safety of
our political institutions, and the future
peace, liberty and prosperity of the
people, resolve,
1. That we steadfastly adhere to the
principles of civil government estab
ished by the founders of the Union;
and in the present conflict of legisla
tive usurpation with constitutional law,
we esteem a wise, upright and fearless
judiciary the great bulwark of public
liberty and individual right.
2 That the Union of the States is
perpetual, and the Federal Government
supreme within its constitutional lim
its.
8. That Representation in the Con
gress of the United States, and in the
electoral collo , o is a right fundamental
and indestructible in its nature and
abiding in every State, being a duty as
well as a right pertaining to the people
of every State and essential to our Re
publican system of Government. Its
denial is the destruction of tho Gov
ernment itself
4. Each State having under the Con
stitution the exclusive right to pre
scribe the qualifications of its own elec
tors, we proclaim as a usurpation and
an outrage the establishment of negro
suffrage in any of the States by the
coercive exercise of Federal power;
and Nvo shall resist to the last resort
the threatened measures of the leaders
of the Republican party to interfere by
acts of Congress with the regulation of
the elective franchise in the • State of
Pennsylvania.
5. That we arc opposed to any amend
ment of the ConStitutiori of the State
giving to negroes the right of suffrage.
G. That the failure of the Tariff Bill
in the last session of the late Congress,
more than throe fourth whoo mem
bers belonged to the Republican party,
is an illustration of their infidelity to
their pledges and their neglect of their
professions in relation to the great in
dustrial and financial interest of the
country.
7. That the Radical majority in Con.
gross and those who sustain them,
"
have overthrown the Constitution, dis
membered the Federal Union and sub
verted republican government by a
long series of usurpations, amon. , which
are the following:
Their denial of the right; of States of
the Union Co representation in Con
greHs.
Their treatment of ten States ire sub
jugated provinces, and governing them
by military force in time of peace.
Their enactment of laws denying in
demnity for arrests and false impriaon
ments made without authority of law.
Their resistance of the authority of
the civil tribunals, and their overthrow
ity the bsti !talon of military com
mis•;ions for the trial of undefined 0t
re11.9,.:3.
Their fforta'to destroy the executive
and judicial departments of the Gov-
Cr , intent by threatened impeachment
to control executive action, and a pro
jected "remoddelling" of the Supremo
Court of tho United Stator to force
obedience to congre2:donal mandates.
Their ejection horn their seats in the
Federal Senate and Bowie, Of ntetn
bc•ct duly and legally chosen.
That dm purpo:e ol• eonlkcation
avowed by the 1;11)111)1'w:1n IQ:vier:4, in
violation of the I),al:u•a.ti o n of Ri g ht,
oth,i, guarantees of the Federal
and State Uoustitttti• , m9, tending as it
does ; to destroy all prot , •otion to pri
vate property, advances them far on
qic high road to repudiation.
S. That a strict conformity, both by
the Federal and State Governments, to
all the powers, restrictions and guar
antees, as contained in the Constitu
tion of the United States, a rigid and
wise economy in the administration of
public affairs, and the election of capa•
We - , honest and patriotic men to office,
arc measures absolutely necessary to
re,;tore piddle confidence, avert na•
tional bankruptcy, and to ensure the
perpetuity of our free institutions.
9. That the late Republican Legis
lature of this State has distinguished
itselffir the number of its unwise and
unconstitutional enactments.
Some of these laws have already
been judicially determined to he un
constitutional, others are unwise, in
expedient, oppresive and fanatical, and
the members who suit:tined them
should he condemned by the people at
the polls.
lib That the power and success
of the Democratic party grmiily de
pends on the character and efficiency
of its newspaper press, and that to give
duo force to its usefulness, this Con
vention earnestly request that in every
county all the members of the Demo
cratic party should . make a vigorous
effort to increase its circulation by giv
ing it individual patronage and sup
port.
11. That the Democracy of Pennsyl
vania, by theii• reprosontatives now as
sOmblud, hereby tender,their acknowl
edgments and thanks to the Hon.
George W. Woodward in his retire.
meta from the position of Chief Jus
tice of this Commonwealth, for the
pure,faillilul and able manner in which
he discharged the duties of that exalt
ed position.
12. That the candidate we this day
present to the people of Pennsylvania
fbr a place on the Supreme Bench of
the State, is in all respects worthy of
the confidence and support of all who
aro in favor of an enlightened, faithful
and impartial administrati3n of the
laws.
The report, of the eomthittee was
adopted unanimously.
Visit of Foreign Ministers to Japan,
Youtc, June 11.--A 'special to
the Herald from San Francisco says.
The Colorado brings fifty first class
passengers and a full cargo of freight.
Intelligence from Japan is of a high
ly interesting and important nature.
The visit of Foreign ministein to Osaca
concluded on the 20th of May, and
those functionaries had returned to
Yokohama. Tho treatment of the
foreigners by the Tycoon at Osacit was
princely. lionises had been prepared
for thorn, filled with the costliest
European furniture. French cooks and
European norvan tu wore provided,
wines and liquors were without stint,
and in fact everything they wanted
during their stay was furnished in
abundance and free of expense. Each
representative and suite was granted
a private audience and dinner with
the Tycoon several days before the
official visit took place. On these oc
elisions the Tycoon presided at the ta
ble, in a large, high room, wholly Eu
ropean in ondittings. The dinner was
thoroughly French in detail. Small
but valuable p rose nts were laid beside
each plate. The Tycoon is a man of
ordinary stature, apparendy thirty
throe years of age, with good features.
He was very richly dressed, and his
manner easy and refined. lie tho
roughly understands the European
custom of drinking toasts, and drank
the health of the President of the Uni
ted States with a gusto. At the official
visit, which was of short duration,
everything wits Japanese. After the
usual common places, the Tycoon ex
pressed to Minister Von Valkenburg
his great gratification at the establish
ment of a new steamship lino between
America and Japan. Japanese Tommy
acted its interpeter for the American
legation thoroughout the visit. Sub
sequently the Tycoon met the Minis
ter at lliago, eleven miles across the
Bay, and laid oat a foreign settlement
whore a tract of ground a mile in
width, extending three or four miles
back from the water,has been appropri
ated under the same arrangement as in
other ports of Japan. The anchorage
is good. The settlement of Osaca is
about the center of the town. All
were highly pleased with Osaca.
In about a month the minister will
visit the west coast to locate a port
there. The place selected will probably
be Pituranga, in the Province of Kan-

The Hunkariau Coronation.
PESTII, Juno S.--The Emperor and
Empress of Austria were today crown
ed King and Queen of ILungary, with
inediaivel pomp and slander. The city
wos crowded with visitors from all
parts of thb world, and spendidly
corated ambassadors of all the nations
having diplomatic relations with Aus
tria, except the United States, wore
present. The coronation took place
at Ofen, across the river Danube, and
the concluding rites in this city. Eight
thousand Hungarian and Austrian no
bles, six hundred peers, OEO hundred
diplomatists, and ono thousand strang

scene was magnificent. The Bishops of
the Catholic and Greek Church assis—

displayed were . gorgeous. The Empe

crown, mar Ale and shoes of St. Ste
phen, the first Christian King of _Hun
gary. The Empress was annointed
under right arm pit. The special Mass,
sung by the Imperial Choir from Vien
na, was composisd by - Matz. After the
coronation, the King knighted several
Hungarians, and rode in person to
Pesth, where ho took the oath, in which
he promised to reconquer• the ancient
limits of Hungary. Nothing like this
has been witnessed for centuries, and
in all probability will never be repeat
ed.
The Coronation ceremonies closed
by the King riding tip to a mound of
earth, formed of soil brought from the
different departments of Hungary, and
waving his sword at the four points of
the compass, at the same 01110 solem
ly swearing he would defend the king

immense cheering during the rites.
There will be a grand illumination and
banquet to-night. At the banquet

DESTRUCTION OF IDALIO CITY BY FIRE
—On Friday, the 17th instant, Idaho
City was again reduced to ashes. The
tiro originated on the corner of Wall
and Montgomery streets, in the sa
loon of John Cody. It swept all the
buildings down Main and High streets,
from Bear Hun to the foot of Main
street. All west of Montgomery street
wero saved. Estimated less of prop
erty, two million dollars. A private
letter states that there was a report of
several lives lost.
The CathOlic church was burned al

The New York herald's Rio

was raging in the Brazilian camp on
the lliver'Platto, that nearly seven
hundred men died in four days, and
that two thousand troops had been dis
patched to prevent the people from
destroying the hospitals at Carrientas.
This intelligence, however, is doubted,
and believed to be a stock jobbing ca
nard. It Was reported that in Buenos
Ayres the streets were filled with fu
nerals, and the people dying on the
piers, about door steps, and every
where. Large crowds were rushing
away, and every little hamlet in the
interior was crowded with refugees.
A correspondent oftho St. Louis
Democrat, who has just returned from
Alabama, says : "It was refreshing, as
I passed along, to witness the many
thousands of acres of corn well tilled,
where the fleecy staple, 'King Cotton,'
bore undisputed sway previous to the
rebellion. Although backward, as
crops everywhere are this season,still,
the corn crop of the South will bo am

of the season prove at all favorable.

The Wheeling Register tells of a young
man who for some weeks had been wasting
away to a skeleton, owing to mysterious loss
of blood. On awaking every morning,
,he
found a fresh puncture on some part of his
body, from which blood had been drawn.
He at length became convinced that.a.ram
pyre hail been sucking his blood, and remOv-:

were no bad bugs there !
Little "All Might," of the Japanese troupe

The man with the long beard, says the
cal of the Pittsburgh Gazette,. Was certainly
in town in the person of one of the German
delegates from Chicago. His beard is a mon
strosity, a cause for grumbling et nature'hy
smooth-faced masculines. It would prove
worth a mint of money to a dealer of"stim
ulating ongueht" for the growth of the whis
keys. The gentleman is middle-aged, about
six feet trill, and his beard, from face to end,
measures the same length, is heavy and lux
uriant. Ho had it plaited and-still it reached
far below his knees, and Ile had to walk dain
tily for fear of treading on its ends.
On Thursday evening, a lady of Troy, sit
ting in her rootn, Was instantaneously op
pressed with the conviction that her little eon
had fallen from the window in his sleeping
apartment to the ground below. She repell-.
ed the thought as an impossibility. In a few
moments more it flashed upon her mind with
such force that she could not resist it. She
hurried up to the bed-side of her son, and
there, to herintenso. horror, she discovered
the lad sleeping upon the window sill, the
window open, his head projecting outside—
he was on the very point of. falling to the
pavement below! Who can explain this
phenomena which is unquestionably true ?
