&lir The Border Damage Bill has pass•

will become a law.
The Harrisburg Patriot and other De
mocratic papers have been throwing great
quantities of dirt at the Republican victory
iu Washington. A fox is represented to
have said of grapes, which lie could not
reach, that they were sour !
seu The handsome victory of the Re
publicans in Washington City (the Terri
tory of Columbia) has dampened the ardor
of our Democratic (*temporaries considera
bly. Their great reaction is "going back
on them." In truth they are making haste
slowly and seem to be looking through a
glass darkly. Oh, the "nasty nigger."
zr By the Ku Klux bill the President
is authorized, in certain cases, to suspend
the writ of habeas corpus. We would pre
fer to hear of him suspending, at the end
of a rope, a number of the midnight assas
sins who have wade such a law necessary!
It would be a capital suspension in more
ways than one.
go_ The Monitor recommends J. Simp
son Africa, of this place, f m the Dome
cratie nomination for Surveyor General.
Mr. Africa would make a splendid officer
if it were within the range of possibility
to elect a Demucrat, but as it is not we
should be very sorry to see this gentleman
sacrificed.
SW - We will announce candidates for
the carious offices to be filled at the ap
proaching Octpher election at the %How
ing reasonable rates, viz : President Judge,
$5 ; Assembly, $4 ; Sheriff, $3 ; Treasurer,
Commissioner and Director of the Poor,
$2 ; Auditor and Coroner, each $l. The

announcement.
Da.. The Apportionment Bill, passed by
the Legislature, it strikes us, was very
handsomely manipulated to make this a
Democratic Senatorial District for the ben
efit of our bland friend Bruce. But we
mean to see about this. Huntingdon, arise
like Sampson, and shake thyself as hereto
fore, and these cords will become as burnt
flax.
la, This Senatorial District was, after
a great deal of tribulation, forged into a
Democratic District. Huntingdon, you
must get down under a Democratic dead
weight of 800 and erect yourself, and when
you do so, you will be a head and shoulders
higher to the tune of 1000—a clear major
ity of 200. Let peace and harmony pre
vail and all will be well=:but not with R,
Bruce.
ter The Democratic Convention for
the nomination of candidates for Auditor
General and Surveyor General will convene
in llarrisburg, on Wednesday, the 24th
day of May, 1871. A handsome reward
will, no doubt, be paid the individual who
will get up the best sliding scale of meas
ures for the adoption of the Convention
upon which to conduct the canvass. Ad

Slar The Democratic papers set up a
wail over the passage of the Ku Klux bill
that indicates the deepest seated sympathy
fur those cowardly miscreants who have
made the South a reproach to the age in
which we live. If they do not desire the
powers conferred in that bill to be exercised,
let them advise their Ku Klux brethren to
discontinue their cowardly practices. Per
haps they want to help to give them anoth
er drubbing, and by their justifications of
their conduct, are only nerving them for
the contest. similar course of conduct
was pursued before the rebellion.
giD — President Grant, who had been on
a visit to his farm near St. Louis, passed
through here, accompanied by Gen. Por
ter, on last Thursday evening, on the Cin
cinnati Express, on his way to Washington.
He was met at the depot by a large crowd
of citizens. The President presented him
self on the platform of his car, and he was
heartily cheered. A few were presented
to him when the car moved off amidst lusty
cheers. He remained over night with
Hon. J. Cameron, at Harrisburg, and
reached Washington on Friday. He was
met with great enthusiasm all along his
route. The people have unbounded con
fidence in his administration and they feel
like expressing it whenever an opportunity
is afforded.
The Judicial Muddle.
Invisible, the racy correspondent of the
Blair County Radical, gives us to under
stand that the Republicans are not going
to have all the judicial muddle to them
selves, but that the Democrats are expect
ed to take a hand. lie says:
"The Democratic Judicial muddle in
your district, is becoming interesting to us
denizens outside. The determination to
make Pershing the nominee is no longer a
secret with those having Democratic ears
here. There have been several caucuses
of influential Democrats from the district,
in this city, during the past week. Persh
ing has a strong outside pressure in his &-
von His friends say they will not be bound
by the bargain made between Speer and
Banks last year—that Banks was to give
Speer the Congressional Conferees iron
your county, and Speer, in return, was to
secure Huntingdon county for Banks fur
Judge. Pershing's friends say further that
he can secure the railroad influence, and
through it, materially lessen the Republican
majority in your county. And, further
still, Banks cannot possibly get the Cath
olic vote, though just why, lam not able
to state—more than that a letter of some
kind gave offence to that portion of the
party. But while all this is going on,
Pershing is meeting with some opposition
front home, and it is pretty well understood
that R. L. Johnson, of Ebensburg, will ask
the conferees to throw them to Banks.
Prominent Huntingdon Democrats, who
were here last week, say openly that they
do not care what Speer 's private arrange
ments were, they will go in for the most
available man. It looks to me as though
Pershing would have an easy victory in the
conference."
Our Washington Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, D. C. April 28, 1871
. •
EDITOR Os' HUNTINGDON JOURNAL :
A review of the proceedings of the Ist
session of the XLIId Congress, which ad
journed sine die on- the 20th inst., pre
sents, as a leadinr , ' feature, the passage of
a most important bill, entitled "an act to
enforce the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, and for
other purposes." While this bill was
pending, it was most fiercely assailed by
the Democratic leaders in Congress, and
the Democratic Press in every section of
the Union, as a premeditated violation of
the fundamental law, as a contemplated
centralization of power in the General
Government, and as an infringement of
the rights of the States. Precisely the
same line of denunciation and argument
was adopted by the opponents of the meas
ure, as that resorted to by leading public
Ispeakers and writers in opposition to every
law enacted, during the late war, for the
suppression of the rebellion. Had Demo
cratic counsels prevailed at the commence
ment of or at any time during the war, the
I Union would have been severed, and the
Confederacy recognized as an independent
Government. Now, these same counsel
lors, or their successors, would have us
yield to the conquered foe nearly every
thing for which he fought. They tell us,
that the very uttermost limit to which
they will be willing to go is to recognize
the amendments to the constitution since
the war as experiments, to be adandoned
when, in the opinion of the white people
in the late insurrectionary States, Pt
may be advisable. In a word, when the
former master of the now enfranchised
slave shall be so inclined, he may deprive
the colored man of the ballot, or indeed
remand him to his original state of ,bond
age. This is the hoped-fir future to which
the old slaverocacy look with anxious solic
itude, and this realization is to be the re
sult of a return of the Democratic party
to power.
The Democratic Senators and Repre
sentatives, at the close of the late session,
issued an address to the people of the
United States, breathing, in every line,
the same spirit as that which gave life to
the party that inaugurated the late rebel
lion. In the years preceding the com
mencement of hostilities, the opponents of
slavery were warned not to interfere with
the sacred institution, else war would fol
low. Now, when Congress enacts a law to
punish the fiendish outrages upon the
freedmen, and loyal white people of the
South, we are told, in this address, that
"it is not surprising that the greatest ap
prehension for the future peace of the nation
should be entertained." In the one in-1
stance, war was inaugurated to preserve
the institution from what was then sup
posed to be danger of innovation, and that
institution having been overthrown as a
result of the effort to guard it. in this, lat
ter day, we are again menaced with war,
if the Government dare extend prOWetion
to the unoffending freedman, who has been
raised from the most abject state, to an
equality before the law, with his white
neighbor. When, in answer to appeal
atter appeal from the South for protection,
the State and Local authorities being eith
er unable to defend the innocent, or-indif
ferent to the cries for help, the National
Congress puts forth an arm to shield the
victims of organized bands of desperadoes,
this address tells us that "nothing is left
to the citizens or the State which can long
er be called a right." It should be born
in mind that, prior to any Congressional
investigation, it was boldly asserted in the
Senate and House of Representatines, and
by the Democratic Press, that all the
stories of outrages in the Southern States
were mere myths, or gross exagerations of
small crimes which are common to all lo
calities, North as well as South. An in
quiry, limited as yet, by a committee of
the Senate (now made a Joint Committee
of Senate and House) has revealed to the
public gaze a very different picture.
Though not a tithe of the enormities com
mitted with impunity have been investi
gated, yet enough has been exposed to
shock the moral sense of the country. In
view of these damaging developments, and
the consequent injury done to the Demo
cratic cause in the North, the subscribers
to this Democratic address appal to the
Ku Klux fiends, in the following endear
ing and persuasive language : " We earnest
ly entreat our fellow citizens in all parts of
the Union to spare no pains to maintain
peace and order. * * * Let us earn
estly beg of you not to aid the present at
tempts of Radical partisans to stir up
strife in the land." Here we have the
recognition of the fact, that the out rages
complained of have been, and are being
committed, and tie leaders of the great
Domocratic party claim of these devils in
carnate the right to dissuade them from
their work of blood, at least for the time
being, as a matter of party policy. It is
now to be seen, if the members of the Ku
Klux organizations in the Southern States
will listen to the exhortations of those who
would control their actions. Of course,
the appeal would not be made, if they were
not assured that the petitioners have influ
ence with these miscreants. If they have
not, they should have, for it has been truly
averred, that while every Southern Demo
crat may not be a Ku Klux, every Ku
Klux is a Democrat.
This Democratic address is as remark
able for what it does not embrace as for
what it (lees. While the 14th and 15th
amendments to the Constitution, and the
Reconstruction acts of Congress have been
the prominent subjects of Democratic de
nnociation, not a single direct reference is
made to them. The great and vital ques
tions involved in them are shirked, in the
very face of the fact that their obliteration
is the grand design of the Democracy of
the country. Although the address is
silent, Hon. Frank P. Blair has, on the
floor of the Senate, given the key-note to
what is to be one of the main objects of
the Bemocracy in the future. It is sim
ply to undo all that has been done, since
the close of the war, in the way of recon
structing the rebel States, and to deprive
the colored man of the ballot.
Enrrot
The Address is open to criticism and
refutation in all its premises and deduc
tions, Indeed, the greater portion of
them have been exploded, time and again,
as false in theory or filet. As an example,
the Address contains the following state
ment in relation to the number holding
office under this Administration : "The
public offices have been multiplied beyond
all precedent." Now the truth is that
there has been a continuous reduction in
the number of officers, both in the military
and civil service, during the two years
which have elapsed, since the inauguration
of Gen. Grant us President, until, at pre-
sent, the army is scarcely large enough for
the ordinary demands upon it,—the offi
cers in the Internal Revenue service have
been cut down to a number absolutely
needed, and will be further curtailed as
rapidly as the public interest will admit,
during the coming fiscal year—and all the
Executive Departments have been pruned,
so as to leave only those which the most
economical working of the machinery in
each imperatively demands. In the reor
ganization of some of the Bureaux, while
hundreds have been stricken off, it has
been found necessary to create a few new
offices, in order to facilitate the public bu
siness. These, in number nor in amount
of salary, do not reach the hundredth part
of the saving by reduction. As compared
with the Administration of President J ohn
sen that of Gep. Grant has been one of the
stricteat economy. The People recognize
this fact, in the lessening of the public
debt as well as in the amount of taxition.
A noticeable change has come over the
spirit of the dreams of the Democracy. On
the reception of the news, that New Hamp
shire had wavered in her fealty to the Re
publican cause, the Old Liners in the Dem
ocratic fold were wild in their joy,
making the very welkin ring with their
shouts of triumph. Notwithstanding that
result in the Granite State was brought
about by local causes, National politics
having had nothing to do in shaping it,
the claim was made that it was a decision
against the Administration of General
Grant. But these jubilations were ephem
eral. The Connecticut election, which
was really fought or National issues, knock
ed things all awry in the Democratic camp.
Then the local elections in several of the
States, which came off similtaneously with
or shortly after, the Connecticut election
served to increase the discomfiture of the
Democracy. It was made manifest that
the Republican party, instead of being
dead, is as vigorions and defiant as it ever
has been. As additional proof of this, we
have the more recent glorious victory in
this, newly formed Territory (the District
of Columbia )w here the Democracy brought
into requisition all the strategy, effort and
applicances of every kind at command to
secure the defeat of the Republican can
didates. This last reverse has crushed out
all hope of a reaction. The exultation of
Republicans is in proportion to the dejec
tion of their antagonists, not so much on
account of the beneficent results which
will be realized by the people of the new
Territory as per the lesson it teaches the
Republicans in every section of the Union.
It shows that to perpetuate the ascenden
cy of the Republican party, all that is re
quired are harmonious concert and .vigor
ous effort on the part of the loyal masses
who icre-appotted-ccr a
political organization which dominated the
