CLAPPING OF HANDS FOLLOWED.” According to the report of theprocee dings ot the Bump Congress, as pub lished in the disunion papers, ‘' clapping of hands followed” in both House and Senate on the passage of the Bill (over the President’s veto,) which provides for military rule in the Southern States, and, as far as an unconstitutional act can do it, practically dissolves the Union. — All right. Nero fiddled when Koine 'was burning, and Marat, Danton and 'Robespierre clapped their hands when the French Convention inaugurated the revolution in France. Why should not the Jacobins of the Bump rejoice, now that they see the country rocking and tottering under the blows they have in flicted upon it ? They consider the pas-, sage of the Bill declaring the Union dissolved, and placing the people of ten States under military rule, a monstrous stride toward the object they have in view—the establishment of a monarchy iif this country. They rejoice and clap their fyands. Our country is in a deplorable condi tion. By an act of Congress the Union is declared dissolved; trade and com merce, and the various industrial pur suits feel that a storm is brewing, calcu lated if not intended to convulse the nation from centre to circumference; National Banks are breaking an over the country; stocks are unsettled; mon ey, is tight; civil strife is predicted; our bonds in Europe are being returned to us by hundreds and thousands of mil lions ; and anxiety and doubt are de picted in every thoughtful man’s face.— Why is this ? It is now two years since, the armed men of the South succumbed to the veterans under Gen. Grant. “ The bloody contest is at an end and the Union is restored,” shouted the peo ple, men, women and children, from one end of the country to the other. What man then supposed that this was not literally true?’ Who dared then to deny that the Union had been reestablished ,„with all its powers, and with an unim paired Constitution? Who supposed then that a rump and treasonable Con gress would attempt to accomplish what Southern .secessionists failed in after four years of sanguinary strife—a disso lution of the Union ? The military des despotism bill is to be put in force, we see, and ten millions of free Americans are to be reduced to a system of slavery and degradation such as the world never witnessed. Must this miserable fanati cism—this negro-phobia and treason— be submitted to? Are thepeople, North and South, ready to see their country divided and anarchy and ruin establish - ed, merely that a few desperate politi cal adventurers and villains may grati fy their spite and rejoice over their treason? We will see. Bank Stock Taxable.—ln the case of William Mintzer vs. The Commission ers of Montgomery county, argued be fore the Supreme Court of this Statesome weeks ago, that body last Monday an nounced their opinion affirming the judgment of the Court below. The case ■ involved the question of the liabillty of thestock of National Banks in the hands of shareholders to State tax, and was ■ some time ago decided by Judge Chap man, of the Montgomery District, on the a case being brought before him, in the affirmative—that it is taxable. The Su preme Court, it thus appears, takes the same view. Chief Justice Woodward dissented from his colleagues. Since Geary’s advent to power, the salary of the Secretary of the Common-, wealth has been increased to the sum of three thousand dollars per annum. Five thousand dollarabas also been appropri ated to repairs of the Governor’s house. Last year the amount expended on the public grounds and buildings at Harris burg 1 was one hundred and twenty-one thousand dollars, Thisamountfurnish ed a splendid opportunity for “ loyal” stealing. What say the tax-payers?— Brethren, let us prey. Samuel B. Lauffer, late captain and Q, M. of the volunteer service, ha 3 been appinted and confirmed with the same rank and title in the regular service. .Wo have known Capt.

Geary, Gov ernor of Pennsylvania, is advertising foraState loan of twenty-three millions of dollars. The Legislature of 1868, it will be remembered, at 'the suggestion" of Gov. Curtin, relieved real estate of all taxation, by which the State Treasu ry was deprived of some two millions of dollars. To men of discernment this looked strange, for It was known that the State was some thirty-nine or forty millions of dollars in debt when Curtin was first sworn in as Governor, and it was equally well known that during the six years of his administration a reck less extravagance prevailed in every department of the government, (for extravagance is a weakness with all Radical officials,) in consequence of which the State debt had been very much augmented. “ How comes it,” asked many, “that the tax on real estate (amounting to $2,000,000 a year,) can be taken off at this time ?” N o satisfac tory reply was given to the question, but" Republican politicians looked wise as owls, as they reminded tax-payers that their real estate was no longer to be taxed. This was glorious news to some men who could not see the trick,; who could not or would not see that it was a Radical dodge to catch gudgeons. o7ft.be stump, and in the Radical jour nals last summer, the people.were con stantly reminded that their real estate 1 paid no tax, and they eulogised Gov. Curtin to the skies for his economy and prudence, and they said to the men who were voters —“see what a Republican administration has done; your broad acres and your houses are relieved of taxation; vote for Geary, if you want this wonderful economy and prudence continued.” Thus were the people bam boozled and hoodwinked. The “ loyal thieves” of the Curtin administration, with their arms in the Treasury up to their elbows, laughed in-their-sleeves as they found simple-minded men giv ing ear to their blandishments(and their lies. But now that Geary is safely ensconced in the Governor’s chair, the deplorable condition of the State Treasury is par tially revealed, and the Gpvernor asks for twenty-three millions of dollars! — More than this, a bill is before the Leg islature to raise the sum of three hun dred thousand dollars, the amount to be assessed on personal property I The share of Cumberland county will be some eight thousand dollars. Thus the people will see that heavy taxation aid several millions of dollars additional Stile debt are the bequests of the Cur tin administration; and, our word for it, Geary will increase both debt- and taxation. UK. GEOSSBKENNEB’S SPEECH. Our last week’s Washington letter made mention of the telling speech de livered by our able, energetic and faith ful Representative, Mr. Gi.ossbbenneb, on the report of the Committee appoin ted to investigate the rumors of certain overtures of compromise between Pres ident Johnson and Certain week-kneed Badicals—which speech we were told contained some palpable hits at the ab surdity of Badical legislation, .and “ brought down the house.” We have since obtained a. report of the terse and pointed" remarks or nir. cjeossbiu™- neb, and willingly give them a place in our columns, not only as a blotter of interest to our readers and of Justice to the honorable gentleman himself, but because they show very conclusively upon what frivolous pretexts the ene mies of the President expect to prejudice the public mind against him.' Mr, Glossbrenner said: The House will preceive. Mr. Speaker, by the authorized statement just made by the gentleman from Illinois, the Chair man of the committee, that the commit tee has utterly failed to discover a single fact to bear out the preamble to the reso lution under which the Investigation was instituted. As a member of the commit tee, there can be no impropriety, after what has passed,*>ll my saying that we have examined, patiently and thoroug ly, every witness who professes to have any positive knowledge of the origin and progress of the so-called “ negotiations” between the President and “ certain mem bers of Congress”—and X aver that the result of that examination is, that the conduct of ail concerned in the consulta tions and conferences, characterized in the preamble to the resolution as “ cor rupt bargaining,” has not been proven to have been in the slightest degree corrupt or culpable, or open even to the suspicion of criminality; but, on the contrary, all the developments exhibit earnest and hon orable efforts on their part to effect a pat riotic purpose; and their conduct, so far from being reprehensible, is worthy of all imitation. The preamble to the resolution of the gentleman from Illinois is thus phrased; “ Whereas the President of the United States has been impeached by a member of this House of high crimes and. misde- meanors, and the Committee on the Ju diciary have been instructed to examine into the facts upon which said impeach ment was based, witfi power to send for persons and papers, and report them to this House in order, if thought warrant table, that the President may be arraign ed for trial thereon by the Senate; and whereas while the Committee on the Ju diciary are examining witnesses/wlth re lation tosaid high crimes and misdemean ors of which the President has been im peached, with a view of making a report to this House for its disinterested action, it has for some time been rumored and has at last been asserted in public news papers that certain members of this House, who are bound to act impartially upon the report of said committee when presented, are now holding, and have been for some time holding, private meet ings with a view to a corrupt bargain, whereby, in violation of their oaths, they havppleoged and are pledging themselves In advance to act adversely to sold resort if unfavorable to the President, and also to act ad versely to certain other measure* pending before this House to which they have heretofore been favorable, provided the President himself will do certain things to which be has heretofore declar ed himself hostile, and refrain from doing certain things to which he has heretofore declared himself favorable." Perhaps, Mr. Speaker,it may bethought that the committeeowesomesort of apolo gy to the House for havingtoiled all night” and caught—nothing. Perhaps’ the public expectation, after such “ thun dering,ln the Index,” would have been better met, if the .committee could have unfolded so horrible atale of official cor ruption and perjury as would have made each particular hair on every patriotic head to stand oh end. Certainly, after so grand a flourish of trumpets as that with which the lance was seized and poised for a magnificent charge against all who should dare to compromise the honor, and purity, and dignity of this House, (of which we all are habitually very jealous, Mr. Speaker,) it is rather unsatisfactory to find that none of the parlies so fearfully menaced have been doing any of the wicked things of which Itfddame Rumor bad prejudged them guilty. But, in sheer justice to the committee, Mr. Speaker, I must be permitted .to say that>for, the paucity of trophies in this * campaign against u corruption.” the com mittee are by no means responsible.— They spared noupglhs. to find ugly facts, ,if ugly facts there should chance to bo.— The given abundant op portunities for'divulging all that might go to criminate either the President or “ Certain members of Congress,". They were searchlngly cross-examined, ana. wearied by iteration and reiteration of. questions; but they cbu(d not bo brought up to the mark of scHng or suspecting any other than-honorable motive or pat riotic object , in..those whose proceedings they detailed; WlthHhe formidable pre amble before their eyes, they could teli us aothing of “corrupt bargains,” or “ violations of oaths"—and, In answer to direct interrogatories propounded by my self, they testified that thHtubject of the “ impeachment of the President" was not discussed or mentioned “ in any shape or form at any time, by those who were in conference and consultation with the sole view and hope of devising some plan, up on which Congress nnd the President could agree for the restoration of the Union. They were pressed sorely upon all these points; but they contumaciously failed to make their testimony conform to the indictment. It is true the witness es were all gentlemen of intelligence, and I know some of them to be gentlemen of high character—but they were, unfortu nately for the “ facts" in the preamble, drearily destitute of imagination, and sadly deficientln the faculty of invention. I think, Mr. Speak#) that with a differ ent style of witnesses we could hove suc ceeded better, and mode things pleasant generally. There is a gentleman -now in this city—the guest of a government of ficial—who, if the House shall determine' to proceed with this investigation, might be* summoned by the committee. He is a modest gentleman, and lately of very retiring habits; but X believe that, if hfs host could be Induced for a. short time to forego theplcosure of his society, he would gladly come out on this occasion, and prove anything desired agalut members of this House or the President. I will give you his name confidentially, Mr. Speaker—-it is Sanford Conover. He would be found facile and“ conformable." Now, Mr. Speaker, as the committee charged with this investigation have ex amined the parties by whom the late In " terview between the President and Con gress were originated and brought about, and have failed to discover aught in the inception or progress of the conferences, inconsistent with- the purest impulses and most honorable and patriotic objects, 1' hope the resolution reported by the committee will be adopted, and that the House will now discharge the committee from the further consideration of the sub ject. In publishing the names and politics of the XLth Congress, In our last, we designated Hon. J. Lawrence Getz, of the Bth District, this State, as a Radi cal. This was a typographical error; Mr. Getz is a whole-souled Democrat, and is the able editor of the Beading Gazette, the English organ of the De mocracy of old Berks, which county he represents in Congress. We wish we had a few more as true men in Congress as Mr. Getz. The Law of Resistance to Ty banny.—Lord Camden relates thatsom body asked the great Mr. Seldenwhom Grotius called “the glory of England,” in what law book, in what archives or records of the State, might be found the law for 'resisting tyranny. “I don't khow,” said Seldeh, “whether it would be worth your while to look deeply in to books oh this matter ; but I will tell you what is most certain, that it has al ways been the custom of-England, and the custom of England is the law of the land.” In Connecticut the political campaign openswithspirit. An important feature of the situation is that the present Lieu tenant-Governor and Secretary of State, both elected by the Radicals a year ago, have lately left them) and the latter is a candidate on our ticket. ' Last year we were defeated by only 541 votes. - We think there is no doubt of Mr. English’s election. ' - ~ . The New York Tribune Is clamoring daily for protection to domestic indus try and is continually calling upon the public to sustain home manufacturers. Yet it prints its issue upon foreign and imported paper, because it is cheaper, and sees no possible harm in protecting its own interest in that manner. Negroes in Tennessee may vote and do anything but hold office. The white Radicals are smart enough to reserve office-holding for their own benefit.— When the South shall be properly “ re constructed,” thesamesortof thing will be apparent—Radicals holding the offi ces and negroes doing the voting. A Radical paper says: “The course of Congress is misguided, and they will have to take the back track, particularly in their robbing schemes and plunder. Under the cry of impeaching the Presi dent, they cover up their robberies of the people.’?. As all othermeansto squander the peo ple’s money fastenoughhave failed, For ney, in the Washington Chronicle, one of “ my two papers, both daily,” recom mends that the States build houses at Washington for their members of Con gress to live in. What next? Forney asks desperately, “Will An drew Johnson ever rise superior to plot ters?” and pauses for a reply. Forney ought to know that he rose superior to one plotter, when he snubbed Forney’s, attempts on the Now York Custom house. The Legislature of Wisconsin, Radi cal, passed a law directing the State Trea surer to pay the wages of its members and the salary of its Governor in coin. Rags for the people and gold and silver for the office holders.

In a delivered ion befproi the; Young Men's Democratic Club by Col/’jtimes W. Wall, of New J t ejy iiy, lit s|pejifcln|g of tbe Republloailpai'ty ihd ha said*:-,; ' , It was the' robust Ignorance of Republi can fanaticism that conceived the insane idea, that tbe freedom of four millions of an inferior race of dependent beings could be fully consumated by the dash of the grey goose quill that signed the emanci pation proclamation,- Mad, incomprehon-. sible folly, to suppose that we could make for them in a day what God alone had made for usln centuries. Itlnsanely Im agined that it could call forth the-full grown solid oak by some other proces than that by which the acorn unfolds and strengthens year after year into the stal wart oak that Is fitted to wrestle, with the storms of centuries; that it could make the wheat field ripen for the harvest, without “ first the blade, then Che ear, then the full corn In the ear." And now the result of all this folly comes to its In the wail of the starved and abandoned freedmen, wandering outcasts amid the charred remains of their once happy homes; or In tho wild wastes of the aban doned plantations sinking down to die, having found the chains of destitution and starvation Infinitely more galling than the cast off fetters of their ancient servitude. The task-master of Northern fanaticism, whose toil is torture, and whose pathway to.emancipation leads only through “ the Valley of the Shadow of Death,” was but a sorry exchange for the ancient bandage, whose fetters, In comparison, were silken, and whose worst .cruelties were tender mercies compared with the wrong and outrage inflicted in the name of Northern phllanthropby and v universal emancipation. »**« . « . » These Jacobins In Congress willfully ig nore the constitutional rights of ton States' in the Union, and would wring from them such oonoessions ns Will, if acquiesced In, destroy our whole system of represents 'tlve government, and all hopes of a lasting, pence. They Insist that - V "At least such subtle covenants shall be made Till peace Itself Is war In masquerade." The Mussulman will have his paradise the other side of “ The Sword Bridge.”— Over the sharp edge or the arched scime tarare the faithful to reach the heaven that they long for. The Radicals In Con gress would drive the men of the, South over even a sharper pathway to a restored Union. Tho edge upon which they are to walk is not only to be made lacerating to their feet, but humiliating to tholr souls- These raallgnanta whenever they speak of the South seem to be filled with the venom that swelled in the veins of that old Roman radical who neyor spoke privately or in public withoufclosinghis remarks with, the words: 11 However my opinion is, that Carthage must be destroy ed.” Now, why . should such a feeling exist? A practical, sensible statesman ship should strive To bury in oblivion the sad memories of our domestic strife. It was a 'Roman Emperor who, when asked tef erect an altar to vengeance, to commemorate the death of PISo, replied “ Private memories ana hatreds, engeu-i dered In such a domestic whir, .should he forgotten ; aud publio monuments should! commemorate foreign conquests, never domestic calamities.” When the -The bans conquered the Lacedemonians, they erected a brazen trophy In honor of the victory. A" complaint was made before the Araphlotyonio Council that by such .trophy tne memory of their discord was. made eternal, and the noble answer that came back was, “ Let it be abolished, be cause it is not filling that any record should be made of the discord between Greek and Orsek."

With a few promi nent exceptions, the present House la about on a par with the last, so far as It goes. In som'e in stances changes havb been madefor the hotter but In more for the worse, if that wore possible.— The ablest than of the Republlcanside lost Con gress, Judge Hale, of Now York, Is out. His suc cessor seems to bo a gentleman of very ordinary ability. The Maryland delegation is rather an improvement upon the last. ' Messrs.. Archer and Stone, the new members, are gentlcmeh of fine ability, ahd have attained eminence la thojrpro fesslon at home. Hon, James Brooks, of the Now York- City delegation' succeeds Dodge, (ROpubli-. ; can). Mr. B. will rank os the leader'of the Dom-r ooratlcstd?during 'the present Congress. He.is a ready debater, and. bps largo experience as a public man. • " “ "* ' 1 ; Heretofore there have been such things lcno\yn In Congress os parliamentary rules, but the For tieth Congress signalized its opening session by resolving, through a / formal vote,- that all tho rules of tho House be suspended for, one week.— This movement is not calculated, to dispel the alarm with which tho friends of liberty mark the proceedings of this Congress. As If the mi nority were notsuffioiently In the power of the majority already, the latter have virtually de clared that their is to bo no parliamentary law but their own will. The revolutionary doctrines of tho Radical leaders and newspapers thpt tho Will of tho majority Is to override pH law thus find a practical assertion on the very IJrst day of the Fortieth Congress. The Democratic members tnado a bold and masterly protest against the organization ofr the House with only twenty out of represented, and Mr. Brooks, of Now York, made a most eloquent appeal In favor of tho old order of things.' A Congress of the United States under' protest is a novel exhibition. Siioli . auefv.ent has, I believe, never before occurred la the his tory of this'nation.' No party but tho Radicals, would ever have presumed to push forward lm •.portant legislation with so largo' a portlop of tho nation unrepresented; Ton States in ihO Sbuth, and seven States In the East and West excluded ‘ the hails of national legislation and. the great Democratic party of the' country, witi} its powerful and. compact organization, protesting against the action of Congress, are events that' may well startle tho'.peoplo and ■make Capital tremble in all the great’ money ; centers,' This protest Is a note of warning which cannot be dis regarded.

There is nothing in America of which Americana need be ashamed except their abominable roada. Our utter disregard of the inconveniences attending, mud and stones on public roada ia truly surprising.' If a Roman of Rome's palmy days should revisit'the earth aud be Induced by the Now York city Fathers (as .undoubtedly he would be) to make the tour of the great Republic, bow his old bones would ache for the Applan way or the via Flamihia. There Is no better index to the civilization and refinement of any nation thdn the condition of its public ways. The philoso phic historian marks their improvement as he marks thenation’sprogressln litera ture, art or material wealth. Their con dition throughout the earth is ns varlous as are the conditions of men, from the wealthy and refined European to the poor debased Cafi're. ' There are four causes mainly operating to give us such horrible roads. First, the total want of system in their original lor cation, whereby is caused ah unnecessary numberofthem."Thislsdue to the',‘Squat ter Sovereignty” manner in which the lands of our State were.taken ,tm and oc cupied. But the evil then inflicted, in stead of being remedied, as it might have been, by later legislation/is daily grow ing worse. The crooked ways of our Fath ers have necessitated an innumerable numberof equally crooked cross waysand by-ways,- cutting the land into shapes and forms not found in geometry and beyond the power of Words to name. Moreover, the Taw as it respects the opening of ucw roads is,top.,liberal—H, has not obecka enough—it does not sufficiently guard against the arts of interested anil design ing men. The openlng of a given road is a matter no way appertaining - to the du ties of the Judiciary.. Judgesmay Honest ly strive to be impartial in the Appoint ment of viewers, yet in.nine cases out of ten the inen selected are already commit ted on the question of the road. Besides; viewers selected from a distance do not know and cannot learn in an hour’s time; the wants and necessities of a whole ooih nmuity. ■ : Another cause is the,lnefficiency arid irresponsibility of the present office of su pervisor. 'lt is not in, tha power of one man to oversee and, auddlreot, os should be done, the making ohd.repairihg of the roads for a whole township. - Ojitheothcr hand, the shortness Of bis term of office relieves him from anty feeliqgVof great re sponsibility and renders'the community toletant of great errors and gfeatTiegledt. There is iibweyefusingie featurein the present law which of itself iS sufficient to ,render the .whole.system.of roadrmnking impracticable; l though Hercules himself Were entrusted \Vith its execution.'.
