H. A full a tendance Ibi desired •riiis coJiisd cMtiß. Tlip Congressional proceedings of the post, week-present three measured —sim- itar la their objects—which contain so much unmitigated despotism that they litivo suddenly challenged the attention of the entire country. These are the f bills severally introduced by Stevens, Eliot and Sherman, to destroy the gov ernments of the Southern States, and remand them to a territorial condition, to he governed by military satraps,-or ‘‘councils of safety” to be appointed with the advice and consent of the Sen ate. Under the bill proposed by Tlmddcus Stevens, the Governors of tholaterebel lions Statesaro to be deposed, tlio Judges hurled from the bench, the doors of their Legislatures closed, the people deprived of all voice in the management of their local affairs pthe writ of habeas corpus is to be indefinitely suspended, military courts alone are to dispense law to the inhabitants, and military commanders are to rule with absolute sway. The Eliot bill is confined in its operations to flic State of Louisiana; and strange to say it provides for a provisional Govern or to be appointed by the President , while Stevens’ bill provides that the Chief ex ecutive pflicer of the State shall be a Brigadier-General appointed by General Grant. It is a fitting tribute to the statesmanship of the majority in Con gress to notice the fact that these two bills, containing these glaring inconsis tencies, were passed by the lower House 1 on two successive days. The proposi tion of Senator Sherman is simply the Stevens bill with amendments provi ding that the military commandants shall be appointed by the President and not by General Grant, omitting the clause iii regard to the suspension of the habeas'ebrpus, and declaring that after tlio ipsurgent States have adopted the defunct constitutional amendment and framed a state-constitution, republican in form, they may bo readmitted to the Union, if Congress secs proper to do so. We have said these three measures are identical in their objects. Those ob jects are the exclusion of the Southern vote from Congress and from the elec toral college until after the next Presi dential election; tho.ultimate establish ment of universal negro-suffrage -and limited white suffrage in the South, as a means of perpetuating the ill-gotten power of the Radical majority in Con gress; and if these fail, then an absolute military despotism. Can there any lon ger be a doubt that this is the pro gramme finally agreed.* upon by the Hadical conspirators? Can wo have a military despotism over ten States of tlio Union and it republican government in the other twenty six States? If the States are once reduced to this condi tion, what guarantee is there that they will ever regain their statehood ? When in the course of time have despots ever given back, to an enslaved people, the sovereignty of which they have permit ted themselves to be robbed? If ten States of the Union are blotted from ex istence, how is a union of the States under the Constitution any longer pos sible; and if the union of the States is destroyed, under what form of govern ment will we bo living ? If the present Congress can destroy tlio State of Loui siana or Georgia, what is to prevent the next Congress from annihilating the State of Pennsylvania or jNTew York? It the Thirty-Ninth Congress has tlio power to say that General Grant may assign to one of his subordinates tlieab solute control of the domestic affairs of the people of Louisiana, may not tlio Fortieth Congress authorize Beast But ler to deliver the rights and liberties of tiie people of Pennsylvania into the keeping of any one of the petty tyrants who cling to his coat-tails? There was a time when men could look to the supremo judicial tribunal of the laud and see there safety. and hope; but this revolutionary Con gress sets both the supreme law of the land and the Court which interprets it at defiance... The Supremo Court has solemnly pronounced against military tribunals for the trial of civilians, and yet, in bold defiance of this, Congress proposes in these bills to govern one third of the country by military com missions I Who arc those men of the South who are thus to be governed as slaves? They are Americuncitlzcns, and can it be possible that in these latter days those, talismanic words have no power of protection to life, liberty or property? Has hot every American citizen the inalienable rigid to ho gov erned by the law of the land? When that poor privilege is denied him he still lias the rigid tense hisstron-riUt arm, ami he will bo worse than a slave it he fails to do so.

This is a new “ wrinkle” in legislation—a Ra dical dodge—calculated and intended to defeat the ends of justice, by shielding and white-washing Republican politi cians who have been guilty of crimes. For instance, if a villain of the Radical school of politics is arrested in a Demo cratic county, charged with murder, as sault, rape, burglary, horse-stealing, or any other infamous crime, hig political friends in the Legislature are at once in formed of the matter, and a bill is hur ried through both branches changing the venue from the county where the crime was committed, to Bradford, or Lancaster, or Allegheny, or some other black hole, whore the courts are presi ded over by a Radical, Judge, who is more wedded to his party than he is to Justice, and who takes pleasure in re leasing from the clutches of the law all “ loyal thieves” anil Radical A mock trial is had, before a ftdl Radi cal Bench and Jury, and the culprit is set at liberty, and congratulated by his parly friends. ■ Now, of all the villainies that this wretchedly corrupt, shameless and trea sonable Radical-disunion-ncgro party has been guilty of, this is {he most hei nous. It is a conspiracy against society, law, morality and right; if conspiracy intended to shield from the rigors of the violated law cut-throats of the Radical negro party. Under this change of venue dodge dozens of culprits have been sot at liberty, and some of them (immediately after their mock trial,) resumed their business of, house-break ing, robbery, rape, and even murder. It is the opinion of many—and we are ' satisfied the opinion is well-founded— that this plan for.thc release of Radical politicians who violate the law, is one of the “ kinks” of the so-called “ Loyal League,”-an organization got up by a set of sharpers in and about Philadel phia,.whose primary object was and is stealing Uncle Sam’s money in the j name of “ loyalty.” There are good , grounds for this belief. It will be rec- , olleeted that a few months previous to . WJf. KENNEDY, Chau-. Menu Stand. CXn> the surrender of the rebels to General Grant, a “ loyal” gentleman was arres ted in Philadelphia, charged with steal- ing many thousands of dollars worth of Go vernment copper from the navy yard. He was a member of the city “ Loyal League,” (an officer in it, we believe,) and his confederates in crime, five or six in number, were also members of the same political sanhedrim. On the trial, one of the men implicated was made a witness. He said, on his oath, that the copper had been stolon, and he gave an estimate of the amount stolen. The attorney for the prosecution then asked him the question, 11 do yOu know the men who carried away the copper?” “ I do,” was his reply; “ Give us their lames,” said the attorney. “That I cannot and will not do; the oath of the Loyal League (of which I am a mem ber,) forbids me revealing tho name of any member who happens' to got into trouble ; I cannot answer your request.” Strange to sny, the Judge before whom the case was being tried, excused the witness and. decided that .he could not answer tho question without violating ids Loyal League oath, and that would bo perjury. The Judge, we’may re mark, was a member of the League himself, and of course ho too had taken ie.oath of the order. Tho copper thieves "'ere acquitted, and a banquet at the •ooms of the Loyal League followed, at ivhicb the released thieves were con gratulated on their good fortune, The belief then thatexists in the minds of many men that this last Radical dodge—this constant changing of venue from the county where the crime was perpetrated to another county whose Judge is a sworn Loyal Leaguer—is one of the tricks of the League organization for the protection of its members, is a rational conclusion to arrive at. Be yond all question or doubt, the men who belonged to the League during the war made stealing from the govern-, menl a primary object, and, under the oath they assumed, they were bound to protect a “ brother” whose deviltry was discovered. In the name of “ loyalty” this infamous organization robbed the government of hundreds of millions of dollars'; and now that the old govern meat goose has lost most of its feathers, and can no longer be successfully pluck ed, the moaner portion of the League members are committing their depreda tions upon tire people, and are protected in their villainies by the Leaguers of the State Legislalureand by political courts. It is a conspiracy, we repeat, against morality and law, as dark as'the cav- erns of the place of torment, and the men engaged in it—the bought-up mem bers of the. Legislature—should 'have the finger of sebrn pointed at them until the day when they shall shuffle off this mortal coil. Wf, are in receipt, says the St. Louis Times, of Judge W. D. Kelley’sspeech on the extinguishment of the national debt, delivered in the House of Repre schtativcs. Kelley is on the right track. If anything will extinguish itifisone of Kelley’s speeches.

The very /act that every body cannot engager in the same business is just what makes a’protective 'tariff un just and'oppressive and even if it were possible to command the capital and to get the raw material for the experiment, and every laboring man went to manu facturing cotton andiron, the inevitable effect would be a decline in the price of the manufactured article, thrown upon a glutted market, and consequently a decline in the wages of. labor, so wo would ho just where- we began. But it is impossible, in tho very nature of things, that all should engage in tho same occupation—and it is one of the immutable laws of trade thatthero shall be diversity of business—and for this I very reason it is unfair that tho man engaged in daily labor on the farm or in the shop should pay a tax on the nec essaries of life in order that the cotton lord may thrive. The Herald docs not believe “that the continuous high prices result from a stringent tariff.” Let us see whether we cannot give it some light on this sub ject. The subjoined statement is taken from a calculation, based on official re ports of the effect of tho present tariff at the port of Now York. The statement embraces the original cost of the article; tho amount of the tariffin currency, and thg final cost including the tariff. Tho list is an extensive one, but we have simply taken a few of the necessaries of life, as an illustration of our assertion thatthistariffis “ a bill of abominations, by which the rich are made richer and the poor poorer.” Here is the table Value without Tariff. Tea per pound, Coffee " .** 81 03 10 0 00 l ryj Sugar for 100 lbs Salt per bbl Ca1ic0,...; 3-ply Carpet, po«* y<l. Broadcloth “ *• . Common Wool Hut. A Coat Pair of Pan in loons, The cost of an ordinarily good suit of clothes at New York— hat, coat, panta loons, vest, gloves and complete under clothing—would bo $23 98, without a tariff; hut it amounts to $43 86 under the present tariff. A .complete outfit for a laboring woman would c'.st $l6 00 without a tariff, hut costs $34 00 under the present tariff. How any man of average common sense can look at this statement and not come to the conclu sion that all tariff measures are for the benefit of tho wealthy fow ag-ninst tho many poor, wo nro unable to conciovo. Tho men who advocate these measures are either ignorant of the first princi ples of arithmetic, or they are tho wil ling dupes of tho cotton and iron lords, who wring theirmillions from tho sweat and toilof the laboring men of the coun try. It is high time it wag understood by the hard-fisted men of the country that this cry of “protection to home in dustry” is an arrant humbug, a cheat and a swindle, which none other than a “party of- great, moral ideas”, would have the effrontery to advocate. Near ly all tho political contests of this coun- try have been struggles between capi tal and labor, and the poor man who takes sides with capital deserves to pay a heavy tax upon his own stupidity. G fauy’h pardon of Beibcr, (the Berks county election officer who was convict ed of misdemeanor in refusing the vote of a so-called deserter,) in advance of sentence, it is said had its effect in pro ducing the recent Democratic triumph in that city. The people began to think that, when convicted offenders were provided with pardons with which to rise up in court and flout the judge as ho was upon the point of passing sen tence, it was high tirm 1 to turn over a new leaf, and stand by the courts rath er than by the politicians.. In this they certainly were right. The Radicals compliment the Dem ocratic party by selecting nearly all their candidates for high positions from de sertersfrora ourranks. President John son, for instance, Governor Geary, At torney General Brewster, Senator Cam eron, etc. No wonder they get cheated so often; but, nevertheless, this fact shows that the Democratic party furnish ,the brains (a very questionable article, however, in Geary’s case,) of the domi nant parly. ‘ • On the 4th inst., Ingersoll, Radical, of Illinois, introduced ablll jij the Rump House, appropriating $25,000 for the re lief of the poor of the Districtof Colum bia.

A word to the wise is rujficient.' l . Thud Stevens’ military district bill, a copy of which I save In my lost lottor (i passed the House on Wednesday, by avotoof 109t065. There Isgreat danger In this measure, and nothing but evil can come out of it. The marching of troops Into peaceful regions to subject the people to military rule, Is so repugnant to the moral sense of the North.and so Justly Irritating, to those subjected to such despotism, that It oannet bo- effected without serious trouble. i,Tho Constitution war rants nothing of the.kind, and nothing of the kind Is required by public policy orpubllo necos sity. The bill Is a most outrageous measure.~ It revives military despotlsru-martlollaw, mill tnry commissions and the suspension of th' a writ f habeas corpus within the ton unrepresented Southern States where peace, law and order have reigned for two years, and Is contrary to the late decision of the Supremo Court In the matter of the unconstitutional!ty of military commissions for the trial of civilians. It undertakes to de prive tho President of his cqpstltutlonal authori ty ns eommander-ln-chlel’of the army, and to make tho General (Grant) his superior: In a word It alms afc tho 'entire destruction of civil govern ment at tho South. - If carried out It can only bo paralleled In atrocity, In modern times, by the nets of tho despotic Emperor of Russia against the people of Poland. It will bo on act of unmiti gated Jacobin terrorism, likely to recoil upon Its unprincipled authors. Tho American people bear much, but when they are once aroused by repeated abuse, their vengeance will not besatls fled until tho authors are adequately punished Tho same bill was before the Senate on Satur day, and gave rise to an animated discussion which lasted until nearly seven o’clock on Sun day morning. Senator Doolittle opposed tho measure In a speech Of nearly thre'6 hours In length. It was the greatest effort of his life. Ho said ho arose to plead for tho life of tho Republic, and for tho spirit of constitutional liberty which gave It life. Never before hod ho so keenly felt the weight of tho responsibility which rested up on him. No such measure os this was over be fore presented In an American Congress.- It Is a declaration or waragalnstton States of tho Union. It was a symptom of tho downfall of Republican ism In America. Mr. Doolittle was followed by Senators Saulsbury, Cowan and Buokalow, In able arguments against this now piece of despo tism. Finally tho Radicals were driven from their position, and offered a substitute through Senator Sherman, which Is simply the Stevens bill with a dose ofaugar-coatlng to make It a lit tie more palatable for tho dear people, kero Is Sherman’s measure, which your readers con com pare with Stevens’, It was passed by a votoof23 ayes to 10 nays.

In the townships, the tickets must be head ed “ Township,” and the names of all the candidates follow, with the tickets so fold ed that tlie word “Township” appears on the outside. The tickets in the boroughs are to bo the same, with the exception that “Borough” is substituted for “Town ship.” Tlekets prlnted at this office. Hu i ldj Nif Assocr A'iToxs.—AVc SCO by our exchanges that in many of tho neighbor ing towns the citizens have formed build ing associations, whose object is tile erec tion of cheap and substantial tenant hous es. Wo think an association of this kind is just what is wanted in Carlisle, and now is the time for its formation.. Tenant hous es are unusually scarce; our population is steadily increasing, 1 and as our property holders evince no disposition for building, the, supply must be furnished on the joint stuck principle. Every spring numbers oPTamilies, many of themwealthy, locate in Carlisle, drawn hero by our supeilor educational facilities: and the,beauty and healthfulness of the surrounding conn try, “bd,a great"many others would follow, could suitable accomodations ;be had.— Many of these families pUrehaso proper ties, and in the course of time all of them will do so if convenient residences can be obtained. A scarcity of dwelling houses has been felt here for several years, and something must be done the de mand. One effect of a Building Associa tion would be,to increase the supply, thus not,only affording accommodation for the natural increase of population,'but invit ing removals from other sections. It would also have a tendency to beautify- the town, and enable many to seeure houses for them selves who could not otherwise do so. ; By ail means let us have a Building As sociation.-, Such organizations are work ing well m other places—why would not one bo just as successful in Carlisle? Advektlsing.— Nothing new can he said in favor of advertising Tho success ful business man believes in it faithfully as he does in. Uis religion, if he bo a Chris tian. -The merchant whodoes not adver tise, in nine out of ten cases,' never is suc cessful, and ft is a matter of great wonder ment to. him how snob men as A. T. Stew art have obtained, their fabulous, wealth. The answer is a simple one. Stewart has faithfully adhered to the rules laid down; . by Stephen Girard—always advertise your wares, and, in dull seasons advertise more largely than in prosperous times. There is not a daily, weekly, monthly or Sunday, paper published in. Now York, hi which advertisements are inserted, that A. T. Stewart’s advertisements are not to'be found. In the religious and in the sport ing paper alike appear his advertisements, so that his wares are kept before all class es of people continually. If there are any merchants or business men in Carlisle who have never given advertising.n fair trial, they,should do it at once.
