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.

Ad dress Wallace, Myers & Co., Harrisburg, Pa. 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 country prior to, and inaugurated the late During the recent session of Congress, a Joint Committee, "consisting of seven Senators and fourteen Representatives, was appointed, whose duty it shall be to inquire into the condition of the late in surrectionary States, so far as regards the execution of the laws and safety of the lives and property of citizens of the United States."
