Our Standing Armv. — W a have repeated ly denounced the determination which is ex hibited to keep up a huge standing army, jiu*t vhnfc all need uT Mich an institution has passed away. Wo heartily commend the following timely remarks on the subject which wo find in the Now York Tribune of yester day : Wo entreat Congress to ponder long and anxiously before consenting to pass Gen. Wilton’s bill proposing to increase the .person el of our Regular army to some Seventy Thousand men. If that bill becomes a law, at least Thirty millions per anum will be added by it to the taxes of our people; and for what? “To add Forty Thousand men to our Army," say you? Thou you are grievously mistaken. , We shall utmost have but the skeleton of an army; officers without soldiers, regiments on the books dwindled to companies on parade ; bloodless, fleshlcss skeletons, with bony jaws grinning at the folly which called them'into being. Mon in Congress ! save us from this costly illusion 1 Amplo experience proves that the ranks of our little Army of Fifteen to Twenty Thous and never were nor could be kept full in time of peace; they wore oftener scarcely half full. Now, War is going out of fashion ; and every man in our ranks beyond the first Twenty Thousand will hare cost §5OO by the time ho has. fairly joined his regiment. Then why expand ! We are groaning under unprece dented taxation, which must bo yet more so -verely felt as prices decline toward a specie standard. Economists in congress 1 save us from the passage of this most neollessly oppressive measure I CQyThree of the persons who robbed the Adams Express safe ou the Now York and New. Jersey railroad have been arrested, and §200,000 of the stolon funds recovered. THE OUTRAGE CONSUMMATED. The greatest outrage in the world's history has been enacted by the Rump House of Rep resentatives at Washington. On Thursday last, that superlatively infamous body passed the bill giving the negroes residing in the District of Columbia the right to veto at all elections. During the last four years thou sands upon thousands of ignorant and worth less blacks have rushed into Washington and Georgetown, and at this time they out number the whites almost two to one. Thou sands of these negroes receive their rations from the Government (by order of Stanton, ) in defiance of law and right. They are no more capable of exercising the right of suff rage than are the government mules that are quartered at Washington. Against the unanimous protest of the white citizens of the District,of Columbia, the Capital of the Nation is virtually transferred to'the control and keeping of the black strangers who are stopping thefo at the expense of the United States Treasury! Was there over such an outrage perpetrated upon a free people ? The Capital of the United States—the city named after George Washington —a city of im mense wealth—a city of intelligence, refine ment and enterprise—is wrested from the keeping of the men who own it, and trans ferred to the tender mercies of ignorant blacks, one half of them paupers and thieves, and who ar£ merely staying there because they arc found in victuals and clothes by a set of official scoundrels who worship ne groes and call it “ loyally." In the name of decency, whore is this fa naticism to stop.? Must our cities as well as the. country at largo bo utterly disgraced aud ruined merely that tho morbid spirit of New England. fanatics may be gratified, llow can these fanatics—these crav.y arrested in their mad career? Will Presi dent Johnson go with them? is a question that is now asked by thousands of anxious men. Wo confess that wo have little confi dence in Johnson ; beyond question ho is an ufiruvemeut on Lincoln, but yet wo fear io lacks nerve to act as his conscience Uio ates. We have endorsed many of his views. but felt provoked to sec him remain listless and dormant when those views wore assailed by reckless and fanatical fouls This bill conferring the right of suffrage upon the blacks will, beyond a doubt, pass tho Senate, when it will go to the President for his ap proval or rejection. If he vetoes it well. If he signs it, and makes it a law, then his name will go down to posterity stamped as infamous. If he gives his sanction to this diabolical outrage, he will do it with eyes open, and under the conviction that he dis graces both his country and himself. A few words now in reference to tho campaign last fall, and wo are done. We told the people then I (nit the Republicans were contending for a principle, and that that principle was negro-equality and suff rage. But with what vehemence did the Re publican speakers in all parts of this county denounce our assertion us (also ? Their lead ing spoutor on the slump read our articles to lus heavers, aud thou branded them “ false from beginning to the end,” assured the peo ple that the “ great Republican party” had no such object iu view, aud that U was pre posterous for us to make such a charge, &c. Who stan Is convicted of falsehood now ? Who told the truth last fall ? We ask the people to think of those things, We ask Ro publicans—wcll-disposod Republicans, who were misled by l- demagogues and falsifiers — wc ask them to think of things. When wo bramleii leading Republicans Inst fall as disunionists, whoso object was to keen cer tain States out of the Union, after the Presi dent and General Grant had declared that they had never been out of tho Union, wo felt satisfied that wc spoke the truth to the letter. AVhcn wc charged that negro-equali ty and negro franchise wore tho objects of those leaders, we felt equally satisfied that wo made no misstatement. Look now. at tl 0 proceedings of Congress. Our charges arc sustained. Disunion and negro equality are two subjects acted upon. Ruth arc favored by tho Republicans of tho two Houses, and the issue can no longer bo evaded even by , lies. Oil, what a sorry day was it for tho ; people of these States when they elevated to j power this treasonable, stealing, deceptive i party. BRICK’’ PWIEBOY (WIDEN BE,IST BOTTLED • BUTLER, At last tills groat American thief and plun dering murderer has resigned, and is no more an officer of the army ho disgraced. Grant has bottled him up forever, and in a few words proved tbo truth of our oft expressed opinion of this natural thief, coward and mil itary ass. What ho will do now is more than wo know. Most likely go to shop-lifting, grave-robbing or insulting women. At heart a traitor—by instinct a thief—by education a robber—Benjamon F. Butler has won a name fur infamy, venality and ineompeten oy second to none in tho world. Ho was one of tho peculiar tools of Lincoln and tho Re publican party, and ,has been a nightmare on the American people for the past five years. An original secessionist, he never had a patriotic motive in his heart. Ho nev er deserved a position in the army ho nev er fought a hattlo—ho never won a victory lie never lost an opportunity to steal from and plunder tho defenseless—he never made the Union flag other than a signal to mark the depository of stolon goods, and should have been dismissed tho army long since. The greatest curse a mother could put up on a child would bo to wish it the heart and attributes of Ben. Butler, whoso sun has at last sunk in the deepest infamy, and whose eternity wo trust will bo spent in the home «/ hi*employer. Thief, robber, abolition pa triot, mililitary plunderer, woman in sillier, grave-yard robber, soldier murderer, egotis tical ass, pet of Republicanism, child of the devil, cock-eyed abortion of humanity, hot tied braggadocio, played out politician, dis honored general and traitorous citizen, fare well. Tims one by one of the political generals and cf.utcs of our national trouble—ono by one the cotton-thieving, plundering scoun drels who have strutted their brief hour on the bloody stage, drop into infamy. Bottled Blunderer, Big Bethel Butcher,' Brnggadu cin, Ben Beast Butler, farewell. A SCENE IN CONGRESS. Tho Republican newspapers arc in ©esta tes over the passage of the bill giving every miserable, greasy, ignorant nogroin the Dis- trict of Columbia the right to vote. Wo may expect their columns to bo adorned with tho most graphic descriptions of tho grandeur of the scone presented in the magnificent hall •of the House at the. momc*nt of tho passage of Ibp bill. Imaginative imagery will" no doubt bo exhausted. Poetry will bo called in where plain prose halts, and all tho lyres in the land of New England will bo newly strung to sing parnns to tho white men in Congress who were bold enough solemnly to vote that noil her they nor any of their race were a whit bettor than tho horde of negroes who filled the galleries of the llcuso of Rep resentatives, and sat trembling with delight as the sonorous aye of each Republican del egate was recorded against his own race and in favor of that which many of them delight to laud as the superior one. Tho scene pre sented on tho occasion was one just suited to tho stylo and tho capacity of modern Yan kee poets, and it will no doubt be sung in strains of fitting melody. By and by art will, as is her custom, come to tho aid of po etry, and painting and sculpture will be tax ed to their utmost to perpetuate the glories of the over memorable occasion. It was un questionably a strong and stirring spectacle. : Tho Washington correspondent of tho New York Herald sends to that paper the follow ing telegraphic photograph of tho appearance of the House, and tho conduct of tho Repub lican members at tho moment when they had succeeded by legislative enactment in placing the negro on an equality with the white man. Hare is his sketch taken mv tho instant and forwarded by lightning: The galleries wore filled by anxious speo- tutors and listeners of both colors, tho blacks preponderating, however. Tho passage of tho bill was hailed with such boisterous and prolonged applause .on tho floor that Speak er Colfax lust his temper, and said that ho would not in future attempt to suppress tho galleries unless members behaved themselves". Jubilant radicals rushed into the lobbies, tho halls and tho barber shops, and gnwpcd tho greasy hands of every thoroughbred freedman they found in those localities Coming down from the galleries big darkies jostled loftily against tho high burn dames of this DinUict and trod upon their drapery with an air ot divine right. In the street cars they hobnobbed with successful Con gressmen and grinned familiarly in the fa ces of the heretofore ruling race. —Lancaster Intelligencer. —Every Ruin per in Congress thrnms'upon he string of negro military service in the cause of tho Union, but none of thorn will de scend to particulars. Pray, what military services have tho “pet lambs” rendered? We know that they prevented the capture of Richmond by their cowardice in tho Peters burg ,mino affair. Wo know that they wove kept in holiday trim in camp when tho hard fighting was performed in front of Richmond, and that, when tho last “rebel” hail depart ed, they wore nmohol in tho back -way to make a little capital for them. Wc know that, since then, whqn they have not been engaged in mutinies and In killing their offi cers, they nave been stirring up insurrection among other negroes, and plundering and murdering the defenseless men, women and children of the South. Wo know, ah-o, that they nro now robbing and murJen’ng from Texas over tho Mexican border, under tho flag of the United States, from which nation al trouble may speedily result. If those and hundreds of kindred “services” entitle them to suffrage and political rights, then we must confess that humbuggery and crime hare at last arrived at a premium.

That, how ever, enabled them to reach the usual period for collecting with but a small deficit. Tbo managers have supplied many families with food and fuel who might otherwise have per ished, though their funds do not allow them to bo ns liberal as they wish. There are still some vagrant beggars who will not submit to tho wholesome rules of tho Society and oimlit therefore to be discountenanced* S Who Told tub Truth.— When the Demo oratic papers, previous-to the las£ Slate elec tion, charged on the Republican loaders that they would attempt to place the negro' on rtii equality with the white man, the Republican papers denied it amijioclarod that the charge was untrue. John- Cessna, the Chairman of the Republican State Committee, issued an address to the people of the State, assur ing them there was no such issue before the people and that tbo Republican party intend ed nothing of tiro kind. Now, what are they doing? Stevens, Sunnier, Wilson and oth ers, have introduced at least forty propositions into Congress to brock down the barriers God lias established between tbo black and white man. They are attempting to do it in tho District of Colnmhia.and in all the South, ern States, and they will try it in the North ern States as soon as they can. Sumner has oven introduced n bill -into the D. S. Senate to allow negroes to sit on juries with white men. Our white laborers and mechanics, many of them at least, will not see tho danger they are in until itis 100 late. THE RUMP CONGRESS. 1 “ What is doing by the Rump Congress ?” is a question propounded to us almost daily. Wo have not as yet attempted even to give a •resume of tho proceeding.* of this delectable body, for the reason that there has been Buoh a sameness in its daily doings, that we considered it a waste of sppco to lumber our columns with them. In a word, the Rump Congress ia doing literally nothing except attending to tho comfort and interests of the negro. But, some of our readers insist on seeing the official proceedings, and we have concluded to gratify them. Wo therefore condense the doings of tho Senate for a week, and next week will give tho proceed ings of the House for tho same week. Senate. —Prayer by tho Chaplain, in which ho offers up a petition for “ our color ed brethren.” Mr. Wilson (disuninnist) introduced n bill for fixing tho strength of the army on a peace bails. By this bill tho army will bo 150,000 strong, and one fourth of the force is to bo composed of negroes. Mr. Sumner,’ (disunionist,) presented tho petition of colored hum belonging to tho Methodist church, in favor of equality and universal suffrage. Mr. Sumner delivered a short speech eulo gistic of tho negro. Mr. Wilson (disuuionist) reported a bill providing for a national asylum, whore wounded colored soldiers may bo supported at public expense. Mr. Chandler (uisunionist) oifeicd tho following resolution: Resolved, That the President is hereby re quested to withdraw unr minister from tho Court of St. .Tames, and make proclamation of national non intercourse, which is hereby declared to tnko effect after such proclama tion shall have been issued. fit seems that Ciiakduju is anxious to get up another war for the benefit of New Eng land.] On motion of Mr. Monuirm, (Jisunionisfc,) the bill giving the negro the right of suffrage in the District of Columbia, was taken up The bill confers the right of suffrage upon all male persons of twontj uno years and over who have resided, mho year in the Dis trict before llio election, and prescribes the punishment for interfering with the exercise of the cdoctive frn.’u-'ahc in the ease of any person or persons. Mr. Davis (Doling made a powerful speech in opposition to the bill, lie was (allowed by Susinru ami Monniu, in favor of it, both of whom denied Mr, Davis’ declaration that. “this is a white man’s government.” Mr. Wilson* presented petitions from ne groes of Gem-gin? asking for equality, a por tion of the public lands, and tbp right to vote. Senile adjourned. In the Somite, next morning, prayer by the Chaplain, in .vhieh he thanked God that the coloro 1 men of our land had crushed th° rebellion.

Mr. Sumner presented petitions from loyal men of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine, in favor of negro suffrage and negro right**. Mr. TRUJfccr.t (IHsuniunisfc) presented a petition from colored men and women of Col orado, on tho subject of reconstructing the Union. Mr. Doolittle (Republican, but hi fuyor of a whole Union,) made a speech in defense of the President and in opposition to the rad icals. He hinted very plainly that the men who followed the teachings of Sumner and Stevens, were as guilty of treason as the leaders of the rebellion had been. Mr. Anthony (Dlsuiuouist) was in favor of the negro voting, and opposed to recogniz ing tho Southern States. They wore out of the Union, and let them stay out, Mr. 'Wilson (Disunioniat) presented a pe tition from former slaves in Virginia, asking a portion of the lands ol that State, and the right to vole. Senate adjourned. Next morning: Somite met. Prayer for the negro. ■ Mi, i rumijull (Disunion, III.) called up the bill to enlarge the powers of tho Freed men’s Bureau. A long debate followed, dur ing which Mr. Wade (Disunion, Ohio,) re plied to Mr. Doolittle’s former speech. Mr, Wade was severe on tiio President, and in sisted that the “radicals” were tho only men to bo trusted. lie favored negro suffrage, negro equality, and the right of the negro to occupy a scut in Congress. Tho debate took a wide range, ami at a Utc hour the Senate adjourned. The negroes filled tho galleries, as usual. Counterveitino or the United States Notes, i'ho New York Vast referring to the number of counterfeit notes in circulation, remarks: 'Compare tho nolo of the Notional Bank in J>laino and on_o_of a National-Back in Mis souri, of the same denomination, and you will find them exactly alike. They are print ed from plates made from the same dies; iaco ana back, lettering, scroll work, figures, all are in every particular alike. Only tho name id tho hank is peculiar to each. There are, it is said,, some two or three hundred persons mi tho country whoso chosen profes sion is tho manufacture and circulation of forged notes. Those men must have heeu greatly delighted when they became aware ol tho national currency scheme. Under our ■former hanking system every bank in tho country hud its own devices, its own plates and took especial precaution to guard its notes against forgery.

Lossino’s Pictorial History of the Civil War.—Wo understand that our neighbor, D. J. Oormanv, of the Mcehanicsburg Jour nal, has taken the agency for tho sale of “ Bossing's Pictorial History of the Great Civil Wav.” His agency embraces East Pcnnsboro', Lower Allen, Upper Allen, Hampden, Monroe, Silver Spring, Middlesex, North and South Middleton, and tho boroughs of Carlisle, Mcehanicsburg, and Now Cum berland, and ho intends commencing tho work of canvassing in a few clays. The first volume of this work is iuw pass ing through tiio press, and will bo out in February. Wc have given but a cursory ex amination of tho advance sheets, and, al though wo cannot endorse all tho opinions therein expressed, it seems to be tho fairest and most impartial history of tho war which lias appeared on this side of tho ocean. It will bo published in three or more volumes, of six hundred pages each, in an elegant stylo of typography, beautifully illustrated by about two thousand engravings. As a record of tho important events of tho great civil.war, it should find a plnoo in every household in the land. Tho military history is brought down, in this volume, to tho close of the battle of Bull Run, in July, 1861, ami contains a full ac count of the great uprising of tho people ; the rush to arms ; the willing sacrifices of fered ; tho benevolent operations organized.; tho attempts to seize tho capital and • over throw tho Government; tho sending out of privateers to depredate upon tho commerce, of tho country; the darkening of lighthouses on the coast; and other great events incident to the opening of the terrible civil war, which has no parallel noted in tljo records of man kind. This volume contains more than four hun dred engravings illustrative of the subject, of which about one hundred and thirty arc portraits of prominent men on both sides, including Governors of States, Generals in the field, and Statesmen and Conspirators in council; also views and maps of battle grounds; headquarters of officers: weapons and ships of war; forts; arsenals ; medals of honor, and other gifts of gratitude; cos tumes of soMibvs; and a groat variety of other subjects, whereby the eye is well in structed concerning the materials used in the conflict. In those few words wo give but a faint idea of the great variety and im portance of the contents of the volume, which contains six hundred pages of text, and co pious illustrative foot notes. The author has aimed to give, in this work, a full and faithful chronicle and pic ture of the civil war in the United States, snd the publisher (Mr. Childs) is with gen erous liberality, and good taste, bringing it out in beautiful and costly style at a very moderate price. It is elegantly orbited on fine white paper; and it is, in every respect, an eminently superb and valuable work.— the succeeding volume will bo issued as rap idly as due regard to a careful preparation will allow. The last one will contain bio graphical sketches, in Cyclopedia form, of all the prominent actors iu tho war, loyal and disloyal, of both sexes, and in every condi tion in life. This portion of tho work will bo illustrated chiefly by fac similes of tho signatures ol a large portion of tho persons named. It will also contain an elaborate analytical index. Judging from the char acter of tho first volume, we unhesitatingly express the belief that this work will ever bo regarded as the standard History of tho Civil War. Mutilated Fractional Currency.—ln the House of Representatives, on the Bth inst., Ancona introduced the following resolu tion, which, on motion, was allotted: J?csolvcd, I hat the Coiumittco on Banking and Currency he requested to inquire into t-ho expediency of providing by law for the redemption of mutilated, defaced and worn out fractional currency, by the United States Internal Revenue collectors or other financial agents of the government in tho Severn! coi eotion districts of the country. This is what should have boon done long ago. The Government owes it to the people, whom it compels to receive its fractional currency as money, to provide the easiest and moat inexpensive mode within its power, for the redemption of that which becomes dcfacod and mutilated. Even if the people have to submit to some loss in tho redemption of this trash, which we cannot hut consider unjust, it would bo hotter for them to hoar a discount of ton or oven twenty per cent., than to lose all, which is the practical effect of tho pres ent almost impossible mode of redemption. In every Collection District, there should ho some Government Officer designated, to whom tho poor man, who holds any amount of mu tilated currency, if it ho no more than 25ots, could go, and claim its exchange for some thing ho can buy broad with. Wo hope tho Committee to whom Mr. Ancona’s resolu tion has been referred, will act upon it speed ily and effectually; and not lot it sleep in their pookota, as is too often the ease with resolutions of inquiry, until tho close of the session, when it will ho too late to act upon it.

A scene in our County jail a night or two ago, convinced me, (before inclined to think the burden on the public too great!) that the public knew not the ben efit received from thus incarcerating tins class of the community. They are nearly all foreigners, and with no other settlement than the place where found. They are of the lowest cast ami most brutish habits, dan gerous except under strict watch and ward. Is it certain that our county Poor House was not burnt by some vindictive murderer of this kind? Jail is the host place for them, and those who imagine a sine cure for the Sheriff, and handsome board-pay for their keeping should have witnessed, as the author of this did, a strong able-bodied man brought into prison as a vagrant, and this lie indubitably w, with thefrenzy of mania potn upon him, biting, threatening and frying to do violence to every ono about him ; dangerous to himself and others. Tho sheriff 1 under the oommitniont was bound to receive him. It was quite lalo in the evening, himself and family we: o put on duty by the dreadful condition of the prison er. The jail resounded with his moans, cries and awful blasphemies, lu tho midst of this the wife of this very man was brought in, committed as a vagrant also, and suffering from a terrible drunken lit. Now Mr. Edit or this is hut one instance. lam informed similar cases are hy no moans rare. Isitbettor to have these characters shut up, or allow them to wander round endangering in their drunkeness and insanity the lives and prop erty of our community? la the Sheriff, or other peace officers to bo blamed because scenes sucli as I have described are conceal ed within tho walls of the prison, ratlier than have the public streets of tho County town disgraced and rendered unsafe. “An ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure.” An insane vagrant might take tho life of useful and valuable citizens or apply the torch to property of immense value, and then it is too late to lament a miserable economy which re fuses to pay officers for protecting tho com munity. It is to be considered, 100, that if those wanderers know that they will find a place whore they will neither freeze nor starve, that they will travel a considerable distance, to roach such a place, and thus stacks, out buildings, barns and houses of farmers for miles arc kept clear of the scourge. It is true this class has increased but this fault is not that of thO'peaco officers. Congress should take means to prevent their being sent into tho country. Any one who doubts about tho very large majority of these per sons being foreigners, let him pass one single evening in tho office of tho sheriff, or with tho Steward of the Poor House, and doubts willjie removed. Our Supremo Conrt has said, “vagrancy is a crime.” Tho laws roquiro tho officers to arrest and tho Sheriff to receive, and tho only true ground of complaint would be that vagrants when they woer not guilty of tho crime. ‘Who pretends to say that this is tho fact ? The AVar Between the President and tlio Radicals. Tho Washington correspondent of the Now York Tribune (radical'] thus evinces his fears of a rupture between the President and the Destructives. lie says: “The situation is,'therefore,'essentially the same ns it was before tho recess. The ques tion is whether it will long remain so. The 1 resident, in his conversations with' mom borf, is still profuse in assurarois that he is tar from desiring a conflict between tho Ex- OQ.utive and Congress, but ho does not seem willing to say what ho would do to avoid it. It it is true, as is generally assorted and bo icvod by many, that tho President intends to use lus ofheml patronage for tho purpose ol luroing too immediate admission of South ern delegations, ho may produce’tho desired ellect upon a few individuals, but ho will tueroby rather precipitate than prevent an open rupture. Tho employment of such means would only tend to exasperate men who are always willing to como to a fair and Iriondly understanding, hut who will never yield to anything that looks like force or cor ruption.” 90,728,821 SO An exchange, in dossvihing a rooent cele bration, says : “ Tlio procession was very' line and about two miles in length as was also tho prayer of Dr. Perry, tho Chaplain.” ■1,918,2214-1 A CARD. 82818 41 Gil 95 [For tho Volunteer.] DOWNFALL VNAPOLEM^ii Some one, curious in'the stating ’ h ity, has been making calculation Napoleon 111. will come to hh ?
