Jterfai ISfclmttm* OABBISBB, PA., Thursday Morning, July 0, 1860. FOR GOVERNOR, HIESTER OLYMER, OF BERKS COUNTY, DEMOCRATIC WATFOBM. 1. The States, whereof the people were lately In rebellion, are Integral parts of tno Union, and are entitled to representation In Congress, by men dnly elected, who bear true faith to the Constitu tion and laws,and In order to vindicate the maxim that taxation without representation Is tyranny, such representatives should bo forthwith admit ted, 2. The faith of the Republic Is pledged to the pa3 r mont of the National debt, and Congress should pass all laws necessary for that purpose. 3. We owe obedience to the Constitution of the UnltedStates(includlng the amendment prohibits ing slavery) and under Its provisions will accord to those emancipated all their righis of person and properly. 4. Each State has the exclusive light to regu late the quaUdcaglon of Its own electors. 5. The white race alone Is entitled to the control of the government of the Republic, and we are unwilling to grant to negroes the right to vote. 6. The bold enunciation of the principles of the Constitution and the policy of restoration con tained In the recent anual message and Freed men’s Bureau veto message of President John son entitles him to the confidence and support of all who respect the Constitution and love their country. 7. The nation owes to the brave men of our armies and navy a debt of lasting gratitude for their heroic services in defence of the Constitu tion and the Union; and while we cherish with n tender affection the memories of the fallen, wo pledge to their widows and orphans the nation’s care and protection. 8. We urge upon Congress the duty of equaliz ing the bounties of our soldiers and sailors. THE CAUCASIAN. From the clubs already reported the indications are that The Caucasian will prove a complete success. We will start' with a circulation of, three or four thousand copies, and at the rate al which names are now coming in, that number will be largely increased dur ing the coming week. Our subscribers are not confined to Cumberland County alone; handsome clubs have been sent in frofn Adams, Franklin, York, Perry, Juniata, Huntingdon, Wyoming and other counties. Nor are they confined to this State; we notice on our list names from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, New York, New Jersey and the District ol Columbia. We also have the honor to notice fifteen Democratic members ol Congress on our muster rolls. The tri umphant success of the Caucasian has thus been secured beyond perad venture. Let those who have not al ready sent in their names, do so at once, as the paper will be issued punctually on Friday of this week. Let those districts which have not yet raised their clubs be up and doing. The Cauca sian will be a powerful engine in be half of the cause of Democracy, and should find its way into every school district and every household in South ern Pennsylvania. Wherever it goes, victory will follow in its pathway; for there is no more effectual method ol swelling our ranks than by the circula tion of reliable, fearless and spicy Dem ocratic papers among the masses. It is high time the Democratic party should awake to the truth of this fact, which has been the secret of the success of our opponents. It is high time we placed a Democratic newspaper in every man’s hands, and bid the people cease to be the dupes and tools of the designing demagogues who now control the des tinies of the nation. Send in the names; swell the subscription lists of the Cau casian to yet other thousands, and success will crown our labors as surely as the gun shall rise on the second Tues day of October.

The “boys in blue” are meeting together, not as partisans, but as citizens who feel an abiding interest in the perpetuity of the Government. Those who have been divided in political senti ment, now assemble in meeting, and, casting aside their former political opin ions, join bands in a common cause, and hurl their anathemas at the Radical trai tars who, with brazen impudence, stand up in Congress and declare the Union dissevered and the war a failure. The soldiers of Pennsylvania will not put up with this kind of treason, nor can they be induced to. support a man for Gover nor who lends himself to the base purpo ses of political tricksters and traitors.— Gen, Geary, in accepting the nomina tion of the negro-equality disunion Con vention, disgraced himself forever. No soldier who fought for the Union and the , Constitution can or will support any man ' for Governor who endorses the treasona ble designs of Stevens, Cameron and Forney. These men—these traitors, as President Johnson calls them—boldly declare that the war was a failure, that the Union is dissolved, nnd that a negro is better than a white man and entitled to more privileges. Expect those who fought the battles of the country to en dorse these men and these sentiments, indeed! No, ho—never! If John W. Geary places himself in the keeping of disunionists, let them take care of him; honorably discharged soldiers cannot give countenance to his treachery or in any way endorse the traitor platform on which he stands. CAPITA!. AND EUEBBI WASTED AT THE SOUTH. The Southern papers are inviting Nor thern men with capital-to move South. — Thousands of opportunities, they say, are offered for making fortunes in that deso lated country. All that is wanting is capital and energy. But as yet few Nor thern men have gone South. They see and know that rare inducements are of fered land of misery for the accu mulation of wealth; but then, under the ruling of the present Rump Congress, if they emigrate to the South they are to be disfranchised, and considered outside the Union! Thousands of men who served in the Union army, and who are now out of business, would like to accept the invi tations extended to them by the South; they would like to go there, with a few thousand dollars each, and engage in busi ness that .would be profitable to them selves, and at the same time profitable to the Soutli and the country at largo. But no; they will not consent to be deprived of privileges dear to every American free man—the privilege of the elective fran chise and the right to representation.— Southern men can come North —and hun dreds are coming every week —and exer cise the right of suffrage, and by their votes say who shall and who shall not bo returned ns representatives in Congress, but the Northern man has not this privi lege—he cannot go South without a for feiture of his rights as an American citi zen. Now, is not this a beautiful state of af fairs ? The great South, with all its slum bering and hidden wealth, is to remain dormant, impoverished and desolate, to ..the injury of millions of men and of the whole country, merely because that old sinner, Thad. Stevens, has said that the admitting of the South to a representa tion in Congress “ might be ruin to the Republican party." With Stevens and his fanatical followers, party is every thing, the country nothing. This is no new idea with him. As far back as 1838, when he attempted to get up a revolution in this State, Jie said to his partisans “ throw conscience to the devil and stick to your party.” Ho clings to thatdogma with a tenacity that proves him an un principled, selfish and unpatriotic man. Rather than see his rotten, thieving, trea sonable party endangered he would see our land desolated and our people star ving. He is a cold, selfish, brutish dem agogue, as devoid of magnanimity and honor as a turnip is of blood. He is a disgrace to his species, a traitor.at heart, and a foul scab upon the body politic. How long will the people consent to be ruled by those who, by their legislation, declare a man disfranchised and out of the Union the hour he sets foot on South ern soil ? Can a policy like this be long tolerated? We know not whether the admission of the Southern States would endanger thedisunion organization or not. But this we do know, that the country will not consent to a stupendous wrong to save any party that ever had existence. Much less will they see ruin threaten us merely that a sinking, festering, lying, swindling party may live. No, no—even the honest portion of the Republicans will not consent to this piece.of infamy. They have some respect for the country yet, some love forthe " Union asitwas,” and will not assist to endanger its exist ence by following the Rump Congress in to the muddy waters of political debase ment. Certain of the Radical party are endeavoring to make the people believe that they endorse President Johnson and are his true friends. Let not the people be deceived by these wolves in sheep’s clothing. There are but two parties in the Held, the friends and supporters of Johnson and his Reconstruction policy, as opposed to that of Congress; and the Radicals who endorse and support the policy of Congress as laid down by Thad. Stevens nnd Sumner. The two policies are directly opposed to each ’ other, and like oil and water, will not mix. There fore when any man or association of men tell you that they are the true friends of President Johnson, and in the same breath announce their adheasion to any portion of the Reconstruction policy of Congress, set it down as certain that they are decieving you and would “ steal the livery of the Court of Heaven to serve the devil in,”.in order to secure office. .a so 4 50 . 800 . 10 50 . 15 00 . 25 00 How DO YOU LIKE IT, SOLDIERS? You who fought for the restoration of the Southern States to the .Union, how do you like the programme adopted by Congress to keep those States out of the Union? — How do you like the expenditure of mil lions to keep up the Negro Bureau, whilst you. and your families must eatyour bread by the sweat of your face ? How do you like the continual, persistent and endless legislation by Congress for the blacks, whilst not a single enactment is made for your relief How do you like the doc trine of the Radicals that you fought for Negro Suffrage and the Equality of the Races, instead of for. the. Union and the Constitution? If you like all this, vote for Gen. Geary. If not, cast your ballot for Hiester Clymer, the candidate of the Union men, and the white men of Penn sylvania. A grand Johnson meeting was held in Baltimore last week, at which Gov. Swann, Hon. A. W. Randall, and others, made powerful speeches. Gov. Swann declared emphatically against the contemplated outi'age of forcing negro suffrage upon Maryland without her con sent. He declared that the registration law should not be, as- heretofore, made the instrument of degradation of the peo ple of that State, in Ore hands of vindic tive and intolerant radical agents. It is not at all probable that he will call the present Legislature of Maryland together to act upon the Rump amendment, jmt -will defer thq matter, ns he should do, until the people have had a fair opportu nity of denoting their desires in a newly elected Legislature. 6®" Soldiers everywhere are holding meetings and denouncing the Hartranft Convention, held nt Pittsburgh, as hav ing been nothing more than a “ trick” to lead Democratic soldiers into the disuni on ranks. The “ true boys in blue,” do not recognize such proceedings, but go for the preservation of the .Union, and the repudiation of such men ns Stevens, Sumner &Co., and will show the negro worshippers when the proper time ar rives for whom their votes will be cast. So the work goes bravely on. I,ED BT RENEGADES. The leadership of the Abolition party has passed almost entirely into the hands of renegade Democrats. The fathers of theiparty, so to speak—those who brought it into existence, and labored for a life time to place it in power—are cast aside, and supplanted by the ambitious dema gogues who were Democrats when the road to office led through the Democratic ranks, but who deserted as soon as they saw tjiat the other side was going to win. Thus John W. Geary, a “ life-long Demo crat,” as lie calls himself, is made the Abolition candidate for Governor. Bast fall Gen. Hartranft, another original Democrat, was put up and elected as Audi tor General. And now, we have that no torious renegade from Democracy, John W. Forney, D. D., brought into the field for United States Senator, against Kelley, Cameron and others, all like himself, born and bred os Democarta, but deserters from the party when it could no longer keep them In office. The contest of 1857, be tween Cameron and Forney, will be re peated at Harrisburg next winter; with this difference, however, that one was a Know-Nothing and the other a Democrat then; whereas they both profess to be loyal Abolitionists now. So, we shall see a nice little family quarael, and it will be the more interesting to Democratic spec tators, because they won’t care which one whips. Then, there are Cessna, Owen, and a whole tribe of the "small fry,” who once aspired to be Democratic leadi ers—all put forward as grand represen tatives of the doctrine of their life-long enemies, Thad Stevens and Sumner. AVhyls it, that the Radicals have so lit tle confidence in their own men, that they must be led by renegade Democrats ? Do they find the name of Democrat still a power with the people ? The Union Party. —This is the name assumed by the disunion party of the North. They are for the Union. Oh, yes; nobody but they are for the Union. Well, they have all power, civil and mili tary—have the purse and sword ; and the war lias been over more than a year.— Congress has been in session 7 months and no Union yet. They have now a plan to prevent a Union indefinitely. Like the rebels down South, in 1861, they will not submit this plan to the people. They how want to make haste to call their pre sent Legislatures together to ratify thoir plan, lest the people elect different legis lators who would not ratify it at all. A Union party devising ways and means how not to have a Union! Either they don’t know how to do it or they don’t intend to do it flg?“The National Union Clubat Wash ington has issued a call for a National Union Convention, to be held in Phila delphia on the 14th of August next, to be composed of at least two delegates from every Congressional district of all the States, two from each Territory, and Dis trict of Columbia, and four from each State at large. The object is to hold counsel together on the state of the Uni on ; to take measures to avert possible danger to the same; to maintain unbro ken the Union of the States under the Constitution, &c. The call ia signed by Messrs. Randall, Doolittle, Cowan, Dix on Hendricks, Norton, Nesmith, and ma ny others. The La Crosse Democrat says : “We believe the country would be better oft to-day if every republican, and abolition traitor, meddler, sycophant, apologist, thief, traitor, or tool of traitors, were in Abraham’s bosom.” An emigration of that kind would be such a blessing to this country ns has never been visited upon any people, but would be a little rough on Abraham. At their recent convention in Alleghe ny county, the radicals resolved that they owed “ a debt to tho defenders of the flag that they could not repay;” and feeling overwhelmed by a sense of their total in ability to “ repay” the services of the gal lant “ boys in blue,” they proceeded to nominate civilians for all the important offices. The Radicals have been claiming the election in Oregon by about one thousand majority; but another spirit appears in the dream, and the result is said to admit of a doubt, and in that case the Democrats will take the trick. Returns of elections in Washington Territory show large De mocratic gains. The entire Democratic tickets in nine counties are elected, and it is believed to be so in four others The Legislature of Tennessee has been convened for the purpose of considering the proposed amendment to the Constitu tion. Brownlow, in his proclamation, enunciates the revolutionary doctrine that all the Southern States have lost membership in the Union. If this be so, what right has tho Legislature of a State not in the Union to pass upon an amend ment to the Constitution ? Geary, the disunion candidate for Governor, is in favor of the British dog ma of “ taxation without representation.” He fully indorses the action of the Rump Congress in keeping from their seats the Representatives of the States lately in re bellion, while at the same time the South ern people are compelled to bear their share of the burdens of the government. Gbaby, the disunion candidate for Gov ernor, is on the Radical platform, and ap proves of all their doctrines. Of course he is in favor of striking the word “ white” from the Constitution of Pennsylvania. Every vote cast for him is a hallot in fa vor of negro suffrage and negro equality. The Radicals now openly declare them selves in favor of negro suffrage. This is the great issue in thependingcampaign. Geary, thediaunion,candidate for Govern or, is squarely on their platform, and is committed directly to all their pernicious doctrines. “I'll tell you what,” said a warm friend of Gbabv, the other day, “your party may say what they please, but you cannot deny that John W, Gbaby is a sound man.” “ That’s just what we are afraid of,” replied an old Democrat,, “in my opinion he’s all sound." Poob Fellow. —An exchange says that there is a negro in Virginia who is turning white. Poor fellow—he won’t bo noticed any more by hie friends in Congress. A Message from tW President. On Friday last the Speaker laid before the House the following message from the President, which was read and'referred to the committee on reconstruction . To the Senate and Home of Ileprcsen tatives. „ ~ I submit to Congress a report of the Secretary of State, to whom was referred the concurrent resolution of the 18th inst., respecting a submission to the legislatures of the States of an additional article to the constitution of the United States. It will be seen from this report, that the Secretary of State had, on the 10th instant, transmitted to the Governors of the several States certified copies of the joint resolution, passed on the 13th inst., proposing an amendment to the consti tution. Even in ordinary times, any question of amending the constitution must be just ly regarded as of paramount importance. This importance is, at the present time, enhanced by the faetthat the joint resolu tion was not submitted by the two Houses for the approval of the President, and that of the thirty-six States, which constitute the Union, eleven are excluded from rep resentation in either House of Congress, although witli the single exception of Texas, they have been entirely restored to all theirfunctions as States, in conform ity with the organic law of the land, have appeared at the national capital by Sena tors and Representatives, who have ap plied for, and have been refused admiss ion to the vacant seats. Nor have the soverigen people of the nation been afforded an opportunity of ex pressing their views upon this important question which the amendment involves, Grave doubts therefore may naturally and justly arise as to whether the action of Congress is In humor with the people, and whether State legislatures, elected withouUreferenceto such an issue, should be called upon by Congress to decide re specting the ratification of the proposed amendment. Waiving the question aato the constitu tional validity of the proceedings of Con gress upon the joint resolution proposing the amendment, or as to the merits of the article which it submits through the exec utive department to the legislatures of tlie States, I deem it proper to observe that the steps taken by the Secretary of State, as detailed by the accompanlng re port, are to be considered as purely min isterial, and in no sense whatever com mitting tire Executive to an approval of li recommendation of the amendment to tlie State legislatures or to the people. On the contraiy, a proper appreciation of the letter and spirit ot the constitution, as welj as of the interests of national or der, harmony and union, and a due de ference for an enlightened public judg ment, may, at this time, well shggest a doubt whether any amendment to the constitution ought to be proposed by Con gress and pressed upon the legislatures ortne severaltitates for nnal decision un til after the admission of such loyal Sen ators and Eepresentatives of the now unrepresented States as have been or may hereafter be chosen, in conformity with the constitution and laws of the United States. Andrew Johnson. Washington, D. C., June 22, 1866. HAVE YOU HEARD PRO.II NEBRASKA t Tlio Negro-Disunion ticket Roughly han dled by the people 1 BOTH BRANCHES OF THE LEGISLATURE MADE DEMOCRATIC. Tho Omaha Herald of June'llth, says: “ The Democracy have carried the Legis lature notwithstanding gigantic swindles above the reserve and in Richardson.— Cass County elects the Democrgtic dele gation clean, giving the Legislature to the Democracy by a majority of eight on joint ballot, thus securing the election of two Democratic United States Senators.” The Legislature stands thus; Senate- Democrats, 7 ; Radicals, 6. House —De- mocrats, 23; Radicals, 10. Democratic majority on joint ballot, 8. The Radicals are endeavoring to manipulate the sol diers vote, in order to elect some of their candidates in close districts, and the Herald calls upon “ Democrats every where to confront the men who, by the basest acts of villainy, are seeking to de prive them of their rights!” The tide has evidently turned against the Radicals. This makes it more important that the Democracy should be on their guard, as the men and party in power will pause at no means to retain tbeir authority local, State and national. They are familiar with frauds upon the ballot-box. In all the Northern States they have relied up on frauds and the bayonet to hold posses sion of political dominion. The latter having passed away, the former will have to fill the gap and supply the deficiency. What is feared in Nebraska has been felt in all the old States, and the Demo cracy of that young commonwealth should meet the issue in a resolute man ner. They have the people with them, and should demand and nave a fair and honest election, and an equally honest re turn of the same. Scolding "Women. —Scolding women, numerous everywhere, should be cautious as to how and where they let their tong ues wiggle-waggle, for in this State they are punishable. The Supreme Court, at its recent session at Harrisburg, has de cided an important point in a ease taken up from Lehigh county. "We refer to the case of the Commonwealth vs. Elen ora Mohn, who had been indicted in Le high as a common scold, &., and acquit ted under a ruling by Judge Maynard. The defendant was indicted on two counts. The first charged her with being a com mon scold and disturber of the peace of the neighborhood. The second with being an evil disposed person and con triving and intending the morals of youths to corrupt and debauch. The Court be- ■ low, Judge Maynard, quashed the indict ment, and held that the offense was not punishable by the laws of this common wealth. The Supreme Court held that the indictment was good and the offense punishable at common law, and awarded a procedendo. Judge Woodward in deliver ing the opinion of the Court said: As to the unreasonableness of holding women liable to punishment for a too free use of their tongues, It is enough to say that the common law, which is the ex press wisdom of ages, adjudged that it is not unreasonable. And the Legislature have not changed the common law in this regard, but on the contrary declared so re cently as 1860 that this offense shall be punished as heretofore.” Death from the Bite of a Oat —A Singular Case. —'Hydrophobia is usually inferred to be communicated from the sa liva secreted from the glands at the root of the teeth of a rabid dog. There was a young man at Manayunk who died re cently with very violent symptoms of hy drophobia, who had been inoculated with the disease from ,the bite of a cat. He was an apprentice to a blacksmith named John Ascough, whose shop is at Front and Morris streets, was a cat in the shop when he went to open it some three weeks ago. The cat sprang at him and made her teeth meet in his leg. The wound healed and the poor boy had al most forgotten the occurrence. On Sat urday, the 23d ult., at the sight of water, he was seized with spasms, and suffered unutterable agony until Sunday noon when death mercifully gave him release.' Fitz John Pobteb now resides in Morristown, N. J. WAR IN EUROPE. Italian Army Preparing for Action, SAXONY THE BATTLE GROUND, THE GREAT CONTEST. [From the London Times, June 10.] It is the first move in this great contest that was madeby Prussiayesterduy. The crossing of tlio Saxon frontier brings tne largest military levies that have ever ta ken the field in Germany into necessary and probably immediate collision. As soon as Field-Marshal Benedek learns by telegraph that the enemy Hits begun op erations, he must at once put his great ar my in motion. Beipsic and the northern part of the Saxon kingdom will no doubt be seized at once by the Prussians, but the Austrians, having but a few miles to advance, and the railway at their service, will establish themselves at Dresden.— Thus do we see that ill fated region once more the battle-ground of great powers. Benedek is probably not sorry that the enemy have given him a jurisdiction for entering Saxony. He will now be bound to protect the capital of a weak ally, and in performing this duty he secures the bestpossible position for operating against the enemy. From Prague to Berlin the road lies through Dresden and across the plains of Prussian Saxony. This road he is now free to take, and no inconvenient neutrality compels him to carry on what may be called a provincial contest in Si lesia. Yet the promptitude of the Prus sian movements may even here obtain for them some considerable advantages. A large part of the kingdom may, in a few days, be in their power; and they will at least have the choice of new posi tions, and be able to carry on war in a foreign territory. The Prussian comman ders know the country as well as their opponents; indeed, every German officer who has studied his profession must bo thoroughly acquainted with the military features ■of this region. Though the Prussian army is ostensibly commanded by royal personages, there will not be. wanting men to use its strength to the best advantage. There is.certainly reason for the Prus sian governmenttobestiritseif, if it would make head against its adversaries. It has, indeed, a powerful ally in Italy, with its immense and increasing levies, but in Germany itself Prussia is over matched, and she mustj as underthe great Frederick, make up fonnferiority ofnum bers by activity and military skill; The vote for the Frankfort Diet shows the sympathy of the German governments with the Austrian cause. AH the four kingdoms, Bavaria, Baxony, Wurtem berg, and Hanover, voted for the mobili zation of the Federal force, as did also Eiectorialand Grand Ducal Hesse, Bruns wick and Nassau. On the other side, no important government voted for Prussia, except that of the King of. the Nether lands. who is pretty certain to remain neutral in the contest. In every element of power there is an immense dispropor tion between the two parties into which the minor States have been thus divided. * * * For the present all hangs on the chance of ft campaign. In such convul sions as the present, to be unsuccessful is to be guilty. Should Count Bismarck fail in the bold designs he has conceived, there will be no reproach that will not be cost at him by victorious enemies and ruined friends. But if Prussia gains any material accession of power, she may pro duce changes in Germany which will take away the remembrance of her ambi tion. The questions-whtbh agitate Ger many, Italy, and the heterogeneous prov inces of Austria, have been discussed by foreign secretaries and embassadors for nearly a generation, without much effect. Seven years since there was a partial de cision through the victories of the French Emperor; and since then the Impotence of negotiation' has unfortunately been even more strongly marked. The arbi trament of war is again invoked by a mil lion of men in the field, and we can only hope that the decision to be attained by so tremendous a sacrifice may tend to hu man happiness and advancement. Horrible Harder Near Medina—A Clenry man Whips his Child to Heath. We learn from Railroad men, who came from Medina this morning, that there was great excitement in that village aris ing from a report that a Presbyterian clergyman,, named Lindsley, residing a mile south of the village, whipped his son, three years old, so severely that he died two hours subsequently, because he would not say his prayers. Report adds that the child’s fingers were broken by the blows administered. The report seem ed so monstrous and unnatural that we telegraphed to Medina to learn if it was true, and received an answer that it was. The telegraph states that the minister was two hours whipping the child with a heavy rod, and it died from its injuries within the time stated above. Lindsley had not been arrested at the time the dis patch was sent, but we learn that an offi cer from Albion has gone to Medina to take him into custody. For the sake of common humanity we hope the story is exaggerated, and it may bo possible that it is. Since writing the above we have re ceived by special telegraph, the statement of Mr. Lindsley, the father of the child, made to a jury summoned by Coroner Chamberlain, “On the 18th of June, the child disobeyed his step-mother, and I commenced correcting him, using a shin gle for the purpose, and continued to chastise him Jor more than two hours, when the child began to show signs of de bility, and I ceased to punish him and laid him on a couch, and called my wife. When she saw the child she said he was dying, and before twelve o’clock he was dead/’ The coroner’s jury returned a verdicl yesterday “ that death resulted from chas tisement by the father.”— Rochester Uni on ■, 21st. ► POUTICAJD. . —Kelly wants Senator Cowan’s seat. —Tlio Johnson men In lowa are about to hold a State Convention. —A Democratic Soldiers* Convention is to be held at Harrisburg on the Ist of August. —ln.

The time was when Washington was a de sirable place of residence—when the society here was of the best order—when some of the first, and best families of the nation made this their resi dence and brought up families of respectability. There are a few such hero now, but as a general thing, licentiousness and drunkenness are the prominent features of Washington life this-sea son. Members of Congress spend their after noons aiid evenings in billiard and drinking sa loons, and their nights In houses of 111 fame.— Five-sevenths of the Republican members of • Congress spend their nights in licentious dissipa tion. While a majority of the Democratic mem bers are working for the good of the country, tho opposition, relying on Its majority, goes in for a « good time,” so called. Washington under Ah-, olitlon auspices, is the most depraved city In the- Union. Drinking saloons, gambling houses, hou ses of prostitution and assignation are about the Capitol os side-shows are about a circus. Harlots and niggers occupy the galleries, smile on their pot members on tho floor, and throw kisses to tho •* God and morality” representatives of hon est constituencies. I have looked in vain in the dllTereut depart ments for tho one-armed, crippled or veteran sol diers, who wore to bo rewarded by the Republi can party. The one-armed heroes are not popular. The left-handed writers are not here. Once in a while 1 see a poor widow in some of the depart ments—merely to build a newspaper article on for country consumption. But I have found hun- ( dreds of negroes swarming about these offices— opening and shutting doors, as If those who pass ed through could not wait on themselves—you can see these dusky lambs of Abraham answer ing bell-calls everywhere—you may see them In the gallery of Congress, scratching their dirty heads, chewing peanuts and Smiling approval on their Radical deliverers. And you may see one-armed, one-legged and otherwise mutilated white soldiers, selling apples, pea-nuts, papers and such on the streets—generously provided for by—themselves. It Is, however, announced— and it will be wel come news to the country—that the Rump will adjourn by the middle of July. .. It has already •succeeded in retarding the progress of the coun try a century by Us fanatical legislation, and a shout of relief will go up from the entire Union when the hour of its adjournment arrives. Old Thad. Stevens, not content with depleting the Treasury to the amount of twelve millions annually forAho purpose of clothing, feeding and educating hordes ofidle and worthless negroes in the South, is now desirous of giving Mexico a gratuity of twenty millions in order to assist her in driving JVlaximillan from the throne. This is very liberal on the part of Mr. Stevens, especial ly as the money does not come out of his own pocket, (how much of it might possibly find Its way there we do not pretend to say!) and, under other and different circumstances, might be well enough; but in view of the fact that the country Is already burthened with a debt of three thousand millions of dollars, and that wo have thousands of soldiers who deserve a liberal boun ty from the Government, we think the proposi tion extremely ill-timed and out of place. If the Treasury has anything to spare, let the surplus bo given to the gallant men who volunteered, without fee or reward, in defence of the Union, in the llrst two years of the war, so as to place them on an equal footing with those who enlist ed in 1863 and 1864. Charity should begin at home —Mr. Stevens’ opinion to the contrary notwith standing. It will be time enough to appropriate our money to the support of the '* liberals” In .Mexico, when the Treasury is.full to overflowing, and after we have provided for the wants of our. own soldiers. One cannot avoid, In listening to the maledlc-. tions now showered upon Johnson by the Aboli tion preachers and politicians, recalling the lan guage of these people at the time of Mr. Lincoln’s death. Whilst the people of the whole land were shocked by the dreadful taking off of the late President, from a large portion of Northern pul pits was heard the exclamation, in substance, if not in words: “’Abraham Lincoln was too gentle; God saw him to bo an unfit instrument to exe cute his vengeance upon the Southern people, and He has removed him to make way for An drew Johnson, who will better carry out his pur poses.” “ Like the sending of Joseph into Egypt,” said Daniel S. Dickinson, i*the murderers of Ab raham. Lincoln meant U for evil, hut God means it for good.” “I thank my God!” exclaimed Butler, “ that in taking that life the rebels have left the iron hand of the people to fall on them!” 14 God,” protested Chittenden, of New York, 44 in tended that Abraham Lincoln should be remo ved, in order that punishmentshould be imposed upon the authors of this rebellion.” 4, He has gone from us,” shouted Cheever, 44 in order that a miserable and mistaken leniency should not en ter into the policy of our Government towards the rebel chiefs.” And, summing up the glad tidings of great Joy, Anna E. Dickinson exultlng ly declared at the Cooper Institute, New York, 14 Abraham Lincoln’s special mission being ac complished in the triumph of the National arms. Providence saw that this kind heart would not permit hint to hang quite so many traitors as would secure our country against future rebellions, and so disposed of him thro' the instrument of the rebellion itself, for his own historical Immortality, and to make peace for a sterner and less merciful successor.” What do these mouth-pieces of Providence think of It now ? Sprague, the calico Senator from Rhode Island, introduced.a bill the other day to reimburse Mas sachusetts for war expenses. That’s cool, con sidering that she has already had one puli upon the treasury. Somebody had better introduce a bill now to reimburse Holland for the Dutchmen who were Imported as laborers by agents of that State, and then humbugged, kidnapped and for ced into service to dll the State quotas. Holland has the best claim, and South Carolina darkies the next. The third claim is held by one of the 'agents who filled one entire quota with naval pa per-credits. “ There Is considerable talk hero Just'now to the effect that John W, Geary, the disunion candi date for Governor in your State will withdraw. I sincerely hope there is no serioos intention on the part of the disunion managers to change their nomination, for Geary is the man above all others whom you can defeat with the greatest case. There is no doubt great dissatisfaction in the ranks of our opponents with the 44 Ufe-long Democracy” of Geary, with his sham military record, with his equivocal position on the rail road question, and with his endorsement of the extreme radicalism of Thad. Stevens. It is inti mated that there are 80,000 Johnson Republicans in Pennsylvania who will not vote for Geary un der any circumstances, and the leaders are un doubtedly seriously considering the propriety of withdrawing him from the canvass. It seems that all attempts to have Jefferson Davis released on ball or parole have proved fruitless. The New York Tribune uses the follow ing language In regard to the miserable subter fuges which wore, resorted to to postpone his trial: “If Mr. Davis 1s to be tried, as it seems to us he ought to be, wo can Imagine no reason for deferring his trial. If ho has been unjustly pro claimed an assassin, he'should somehow bo re leased from the blasting Inculpation, and If he is not to bo tried, but Is merely hold until public sentiment will admit of his liberation, we pro test against the feelings as unworthy. The peo ple of tho country are not children. Even If the object of his imprisonment were to render him sole Idol of late rebels, making them forget all his faults In their sympathy for his condition, It has already been fully achieved. Let us have an end of sham s. Either try him or let him go.” It Is rumored'here, that the Governors of at least two or three Western States will not con vene their State Legislatures for the purpose of ratifying the obstruction amendment. The friends of the administration are fully satlsfled that It will not be acted upon by tho necessary numbers of States (27) before tho fall eleotlons.- It Is also considered very donbtftal whether o quorum of the Tennessee Legislature can be got together this summer. Governor Brownlow and C f > . l ° n ?i sto^f s - who are laboring hard to accom pllsh that object, are tho most unpopular men In the State, and the chances are said to be decided ly against them.
