RATS IN TUB PANTRY.
During.i cursory debate in the House,
a few days since, old Iliad Stevens, of
tliia State? was asked .if he could state
the amount of money that had been
drawn from the U. S. Treasury in aid
of the freedmen ? Thad said he did not
know the. precise'sum, but he believed
“ about TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS had
been voted to the blacks during the last
two.years.”
Think of that, tax-payers. Ten mill
ions of dollars of your money, it is ad
mitted by Stevens, has been given to
the lazy blacks inside of twenty-four
months. But this is not all. The ra
tions, clothing and medicines furnished
to the freedmen, are not included in the
ten millions spoken of by Stevens. He
speaks of money alone—money voted
by Congress, and taken from the treas
ury. The other expenses are far in ex
cess of the amount received in money,
and we are safe in saying.that during
the last two years the freed negroes have
cost the government thirty millions'eff
itnllar* Il-
ls there a nation but ours on the face
of the earth that would tolerate this
reckless extravagance ? What right,
we ask, have the fanatical fools' who
compose a majority of the two Houses
of the Rump Congress to squander the
people’s money in this manner? Wo
have no objection to these men calling
the negro their “ brother” and their
“equal,” but we protest against them
maintaining these negroes in idleness
at the expense of the tax-payers of the
nation. They have no right to do so.—
No people on God’s footstool are so
relentlessly taxed as are the Americans
to-day, and yet with all our taxes we
see our public debt increasing daily and
monthly.
A prudent man, when involved in fi»
nancial difficulties,becomes economical,
and, by every means in his power, re
trenches his expenditures. Not so with
the reckless majority of the Rump Con
gress. from the very hour that Lin
coln took his seat as President, extrava
gance beyond precedent and stealing be
yond beliefcomraenced. After the war
had ended and the party in power could
count the hundreds of millions of debt
they had contracted, it was, hoped they
would begin to think of the danger that
threatened us ns a people, and commence
a system of retrenchment mid reform.
But no. The people hoped in vain, for
they see their debt augmenting, and a
reckless extravagance persisted ‘in, cal
culated if indeed not intended, to con
vulse the nation and plunge it into an
archy and repudiation.
■ What do the people mean? Is it pos
sible they no longer feel or care for the
nation? Will they continue to fold
their arms in listless indifference as they
see tens of millions of dollars taken
from their treasury every year to be
lavished upon lazy negroes? Will noth
ing arouse them from their lethargy?—
Let the solid men of all jrarties look at
these things calmly, and we think they
will agree with us when we say that if
this extravagance, this stealing, is not
arrested, and 4 the men throttled who
are engaged in it, bur Government will
soon show symptoms of debility, and
finally end in anarchy and confusion.
IS ftItXHEII INSANE?
Sumner, it is feared, will land in a mad
bouse before long. No motion, on any
subject, can be made in the Senate, with
out him popping up and moving ids
stereotyped amendment, viz: “ without
distinction of color.” A ludicrous little
incident happened in the Senate a few
days ago. The session had been a pro
tracted one, and finally some one moved
an adjournment. Sumner jumped to his
feet and moved to add to the motion the
words, “ without distinction of color.”
'Die Speaker, nonplussed at the ridicu
lousness of Sumner’s amendment, asked
him what he meant? “What amend
ment did I propose?" asked the Massa
chusetts statesman. The Speaker repeat
ed it, for his information. “ Oh,” says
cuiimer, “ I nee, I see—l withdraw the
amendment, for I confess it is not perti
nent.” The Senate adjourned, the mem
bers being convulsed with laughter.
And this man Sumner, of Massachu
setts, is the leader of his party In the
Satiate,and his beck andnod are regard
ed JaiV in that once dignified but how
contemptible body..Ho ’wonder pur
country is on the verge,of Ijankruptey
and ruin when its aitaivs by
builbons like Sumner and Thad.biv'^ 1 ’ 8 '
Both me insane on. the subject of the
negro; and both would send the country’
to thobottom of the ocean, if by so doing
they could secure “equality”, to the “pe't
Jamba,” iw Lincoln called the negroes.
We mean the article on our flrst pugej
taken from the Philadelphia Aye; oh the
subject of the arrest and Imprisonment,
in 1864, of Colonel SamueJ North, Levi
Cohn, and Marvin M. Jones, who-had,
been appointed by the Governor of New
York, under an act of the Legislature, to
visit the troops belonging to that State,
then in the Held, for the purpose of fur
nishiug them tickets, and to receive
their votes. It was the year of the Pres
idential election, with Lincoln and Mc-
Clellan as the candidates. These gen
tlemen, North, Cohn and Jones, were
among the best men of the State of Now
York—men of wealth and character—
and they entered upon their duties with
a determination to discharge those du
ties honestly and faithfully. They never
for a moment supposed that three petty
tyrants—three men who exercised arbi
trary and despotic powers—had conspir
ed together, like a band of pirates, for
their destruction. 'But so it was. Lin
coln, Stanton and Holt, each one exer
cising the power of his official station,
had these three New York Commission
ers arrested and cast into a filthy prison,
where they were alraoststarved todeath.
The charge against them—which was a'
lie—wns “attempting to defraud the sol
diers of their votes,” the very thing that
Lincoln, Stanton and Holt themselves
were engaged in. After suffering from
hunger and vermin for months, a mock
trial, which lasted forty days, was had
before a Military Court selected by the
three conspirators, and the’ defendants
were found “ nptguilty.” But even af
ter their acquittal by a packed Court,
they were not released from confine
ment, nor were the findings of the Court
made public. North wns finally set at |
liberty, but the two others were retained |
in prison, and Republican journals, by
authority of Stanton, published it to the
world, that Cohn'and Jones had “ been
found guilty and sentenced to imprison
ment for life.” A few weeks subsequent,
Cohn and Jones were released Also, and
told to “ go,” without bearing with
them anything in the form of an official
discharge to show what had been the
finding of the Court or the reason of their
discharge. • •
We need not go into particulars in
calling attention to this most infamous
outrage—an outrage without a parallel
in history. It was a conspiracy to de-
Carlisle, Pa.
fraud the Democratic soldiers, of New
York out of their votes, and the conspi
racy was successful, and Gen. McClellan
lost the support of 50,000 New York sol
diers who would have voted for him but'
could not for want of ballots. Infamous
and dastardly as was the conduct of the
two villains, Stanton and Holt, in this
treasonable plot, that of Lincoln was
'still more so. His attempt, by bribery,
intimidation and threats to induce one
of the prisoners to perjure his soul by
swearing away the liberties of his two
fellow-sufferers, eclipses the most wick
ed plots of the French Revolution, and
has only a parallel in that other act of
Abraham Lincoln, when he betrayed
McClellan by withdrawing from bis
command twenty thousand of his best
troops, at the very hour, when the intre
pid General was preparing to take Rich
mond by storin'. For political objects
McClellan was betrayed; for political
objects the New York Commissioners
were imprisoned; for political objects
thousands of other men were punished
in a similar way; for political objects,
and to afford the Lincolnitcs an oppor
tunity to, steal, the war was continued
for four years, when it could have been
brought to a close and the Union re
stored inside of eighteen months. Buf
enough. Read the article on our first
page.
cum- TO HIDE IN THE EARS WITH
WHITE FOLKS. 1
The bill to punish by severe penalty
any rail-road company l ; that excludes
negroes from the ears, or that requires
them to occupy auy particular part of a
car, was called up in the House on the
18th inst., and after a stormy debate,
(the Democrats opposing and the negro
equality members advocating the bill,)
a vote was taken, and the bill passed by
a strict party vote. The hill is the same
that passed the Senate some weeks since.
It reads as follows :
Sec. I. lie it enacted, <tc., That on ami aflor the
poßisage of this act, any railroad or railway cor
poration within this Commonwealth that shall
exclude or allow to be excluded by ihelr agents,
conductors or employees from any of their pas
senger cars anj’ person or on* iccount of
color or race, or that shall refuse to carry in uuy
of t/jelr cars thus sot apart, any person or persons
on account of color or race, eg* that shall for such
reasons compel or attempt to compel any person
or persons to occupy any particular part of any
of thelr.cars sot apart for the accommodation of
people as passengers, shall be deemed guilty of a'
misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, •
shall bo llablu, in an action of debt to the person
aggrieved, In the sum of S5OO, the same to bo re
covered as actions of debt are now by law re
coverable.
Sisa 2. That any agent, conductor,or employee,
of any railroad or railway corporation, within
this Commonwealth, who shall exclude, or allow
to be excluded, or assist In the exclusion, from
any of their cars set apart for the accommodation
of passengers, any person or persons on account
of color or race, or who shall refuse to carry such
person or persons on ac-ount of color or race, or
who shall throw any car or cutft from the truck,
thereby preventing persons from riding, shall bo
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon con
viction thereof, shall pay a fine not exceeding
live hundred dollars ($500) nor less than one hun
dred dollars ($100) or be imprisoned fora term,
not exceeding three months nor less than thirty
days, in* both, at the discretion of the Court.
We learn that “Governor” Geary has
put his name to the above bill, and it is
therefore, a law and in force! During
the debate In both. Houses, the Demo
cratic members-offered amendments to
Jthe bill, requiring rail-road companies
to provide cars for negroes, or separate
seats at the end of the car, but these
proposed amendments were promptly
voted down. It was not the. accommo
dation of the negroes, then, that the
Radical members contended for; U was
for equality with the.whites. They are

keep company with the hlgcjfsj

Condemned bcr to lioiilh n^Murdcwiw,
In the House of at
'Washington', ,on the 20th Inst., during:
the debate ron the bill appropriating
money for the relief of starving families
in the South, a bitter passage at words
took place between' iieast Butler, of
Massachusetts, and Mr. Bingham, (Ra
dical,) of Ohio. The former opposed the
passage of the bill.before the House, and
the latter advocated it- in .a very able
speech. In the course of the debate
Butler spoke of Mr. Bingham ns having
gone over to the other side of the House,
(the Democratic side,) not only in body
but in spirit. The debate -then procee
ded thus. Wo quote fro'm the Philadel
phia Inquirer, negro-equality paper:
Mr. Bingham said—lt docs not become a gentle
man who recorded bin vote fifty-seven times for
the arch-tmitbr of ihe Rebellion for the Presi
dency of the United Slates, to undertake to cost
on imputation either on my integrity or on my
honor. I repel with scorn and contempt any ut
terance of that kind by any' man, whether he be
the hero of Fort Fiahor taken, or the hereof Fort-
Fisher not taken. (Hoars of laughter on both
sides of the House.) lulso stand hero, sir, in the.
name of the American people, to repel with seem
the attempt to levy .charities by confiscation, In
violation of the Constitution of my country.—
That, sir, Is the proposition which the gentleman
(Mr. Butler) dares to utter in an American Con
gress In the sacred name of charity. (Applause
and laughter.)
Mr. ButljEU rose to reply, huttho Chairman an
nounced that the time to which the House had
limited debate had expired.
Mr. BtrrLEU then asked unanimous consent to.
speak for ten minutes.
. Mr, EmJitinciE expressed the hope that the
House would not bottle up” the gentleman
from .Massachusetts. (Laughter.)
Unanimous consent having been given,
Mr. Butler expressed his inlinlte obligations
to the House for flaklmjness. and said:— I have
never concealed the fact which Is now so offen
sively put forward, that I voted for Jcntorson J)a
vla In the convention of my party fifty -seven
times. 1 thought him the representative man of
the South, and hoped thereby to sav6 the threat
ened disunion which appeared in the distance.—.
I was foiled, and disunion came. The difference
between mo and the honorable gentleman from
Ohio is this, that while Jefferson Davis was
claiming to bo a friend of the Union, I supported
him; while the gentleman (Mr. Bingham) sup
ports him while ho Is a traitor.
I did not mean to Impugn the honor or Integri
ty of the gentleman from Ohio, I only said that
I thought ho was leading the other side of the.
House. - • • • ,
. Mr. Bingham—lf the gentleman had qualified
his words by saying he thought so, I would not
“hare said one word. • - ‘ •
Mr. Butleu— l never speak anything I do not
think. (Laughterrthd applause.) 1 wllltry tore
peat the words I nsed. I said the gentleman had
gone In spirit, ns ho had gone in bodyj over to the
other side of the House. I thought so then; 1
think so now. I said so then; I say so now, and
•I cannot take It back, sir. The gentleman has'
had the good taste to attack me, for the reason
lhatl could notiio aujr more Injury to the ene
mies of mv country. I did the beat I could. Oth
er men of more ability could do more. And no
man is ready .to give, them higher plaudit for
their valor, their discretion and their conduct
than myself. Because I could not do morel feel
exceedingly chagrined.
If during the war the gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Bingham) did as much as I did In that direction I
should be glad to recognize that much done. But
the only victim of-the gentleman's prowess, that
I know of, WAS AN INNOCENT WOMAN.
HANGED UPON THE SCAFFOLD! Ills only
victim In the war was Mrs. Surratt. I can sustain
the memory of Fort Fisher if he and his associates
cun sustain him in the BLOOD OF A WOMAN
TRIED BY A MILITARY COMMISSION AND
CONDEMNED WITHOUT SUFFICIENT EVI-
DENCH, IN MY JUDGMENT-!
Mr. Bingham replied briefly to Butler,and said
that if the blood of Innoccco was on his hands, ho
did not know it, I am willing (said Mr.. B.) to
leave the- question to charitable men and to fu
ture ages. With my own present convictions
and with the records that have gone to the coun
try and to the world, I defy the gentleman's cal
, umny. '
Hero the debate ended, and the House soon af
ter adjourned, *• the members .being much excit
ed,” according to the pupllshcd report of the pro
ceedings.
What a startling admission is this of
Butler’s ? He, in as many words, char
ges Bingham (who, it will be remem
bered, was Judge-Advocate to the Mili
tary Commission,) with helping to hang
Mrs. Surratt, who, he says, was an “in
nocent woman,” who “ was condemned
without sufficient evidence!” Who
were Bingham’s “associates” in this
conspiracy, this murder of Mrs. Surratt?
They were Major-General David Hun
ter, Major-General Lewis Wallace, Bre-.
vet Major-General August V. Kautz,
Brigadier-General Albion P. Howe,
Brigadier-General Robert S. Foster,
Brigadier-General James A. Ekin, Bri
gadier-General T. W. Harris, Brevet
Colonel O. fT. Tomkins; Lieutenant-
Colonel D. R. Clendenin, and Brigadier-
General Joseph Holt, Judge-AMvocate.
All these, as well as Bingham, and as
well as President Johnson, who ap
proved the sentence of the Commission,
are included in Butler’s sweeping charge
of hanging a woman “ condemned with
out sufficient evidence.” The “ court,”
as will bospen, was composed of Stan
ton’s most obsequious military tools—
men who sported high-sounding mili
tary titles, hut wh° never “ set a squad
ron in the field.” The man on whose
testimony Mrs. Surratt was condemned
to death, was a most infamous monster,
who, to save his own neck, (for he was
implicated in the assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln,) agreed to perjure his soul
arid swear away the life pf an “inno
cent woman.” Previous to her execu
tion this witness (Welchman,) confessed
that , his story ori the witness stand was
false from beginning to end. But, our
space will not permit us to pursue this
‘subject farther now. We may refer to it
again, and try to explain why it was that
Stanton, Holt & Co. demanded the blood
'of tlia “innocentwoman,” Mrs. Surratt.
TUE CONVICTION OF SANFORD CONO.
VER.
The evidence elicited in the trial of
Sanford Conover, who has just been con
victed at Washington, shows how unsafe
were the Military Commisions which
were set up in the place of courts of jus
tice during the war. The revelations
made were of the most wonderful char
acter. They show clearly that this vil-,
lain Conover, was employed by wicked
and malicious men, high in the Repub
lican Councils, to make out a case against'
Jefferson Pavis by employing men .to
commit perju’ry,. We give as a specir
men, the following evidence had on the
recent trial of Conover:
Joseph A. Hoare, alias Campbel, was re
examined. He recognized the paper hand
ed bimas the deposition made before Judge
Holt, concerning the complicity of Jeff. 1
Davis in the assasiuation conspiracy,—
The witness then read the document re
ferred to, purporting to have been a state
ment of the conversation between John
H. Surratt, Judah P. Benjamin and Jeff.
Davis, relative to the measures to be tak-.
en in order to accomplish the murder of
Abraham Lincoln. He testified before the
House JudieU ry Committee.tbat the state
ment he had made to Judge Holt was false,’
and that he bad been induced to give
such false .testimony by Conover, He com •
mitted the widten statement of Conover
to memory, which took h m several days j
ho saw Conover write the- statement at
the National HotelWm, .H. Roberts,
N athaniel Oser and the prisoner were pre
sent when the paper was written, studied
and. rehearsed; it was prepared about two
weeks before' he went before Judge Holt.
The. witness testified that when in New
York, in November, 1885, he received a
letter from the prisoner; witness was ut
tliis time en route to Canada to hunt up a
“ supposed” witness, who, he told Judge
Holt, knew more about the conspiracy.—
Conover says jn the letter, “ In order nop
to discourage the Judge, do not draw too
much i donot lead him to believe that you
are too anxious, and that yoqr greatest
aim is money.. Above, all, do not. draw
on him from New York; waitibyall

AT TIIE CAPlToii,
An Excltliiff Scene In Hie Ucmnc—“ Bis Cry
oml'lilttle Wool.” •
The House, flu Monday, was in session
until nearly midnight—and suohasesslon!
It was confusion worse confounded. We
doubt whether scuch a scene has been en
acted in the House since the famous Buck
shot war. The bill to .allow, negroes to
ride in all railway cars on an equality
with white persons, came up on third
reading;
Mr. McCreary, of Brie was Speakerpro
terii. He announced the tltle-of the Dill,
when Mr. Kerns, of Philadelphia; and
Mr. Boyle, of Payette, both rose at the
same time. Mr. Kerris moved the pre
vious question. Mr. Boyle moved to go
into committee of the whole for special
amendment, desiring to add the follow
ing provision, after the first section:
Provided, That if any railroad company
shall sot apart separate cars, or portions
of its cars, sufficient for the accomodation
of persons of color traveling, such com
pany, or Its officers, shall not be held ‘to
have incurred any of the penalties impos
ed by this act by the exclusion of such
persons from other ears or portions of cars
than those so set apart.
The Speaker, pro lent., declared both
gentlemen out of order, as the bill had
not yet been rend.
After the reading of the hill, Mr. Boyle
renewed his mottion, and Mr. Kerns did
the same thing.
Here' was the commencement of the
fray. Skirmishers were out bn both sides,
.and some sharp firing followed. Hand
books wore used as hand-grenades, and
volley after Volley of words were discharg
ed in rapid succession. Soon the action
became general along the whole of both
lines. The General in command of the
Republican forces, having the largest num
ber of men in the field, would not listen
to reason, right, or common sense. He
appeared determined to carry his point at
all hazards, and at every sacrifice of the
rules. '
Mr. Boyle was completely overslaugh
ed, the Speaker earnestly contending that
he was in the wrong.
lie thereupon ordered the clerk to call
the yeas and nays on the previous ques
tion. Forty-five Republicans responded,
blit no Democrats.
A qiiorum notvoting, much excitement
began to manifest Itself.
At this moment Mr. Boyle again arose,
and moved an adjournment.
The speakerdid not appear disposed to
notice him. Smreral gentlemen on both
sides sprung to their feet, and vainly en
deavored to make themselves heard. In
the midst of the melee the Speaker (pro
tern.) was heard to declare the motion out
of order. ;
Mr. Boyle, (quickly, ahd in a very dis :
tinot voice.) Then I appeal from the de-
cision of the chair.
Here followed another scene of confu
sion, In the midst of which Mi’Boyle was
again declared out of order.
The Democrats with much warmth took
the ground that the previous question bad
not prevailed, and that both the motions
of Mr. Boyle wore in order.
At this the Republican side became
highly excited, some half dozen of them
speaking at the same time.
The'Speaker (pro tem.) and clerks In
dulged in an earnest conversation for a
few minutes, when the Sergeant-at-arms
was ordered to close the doors and to al
low no person to-pass out.'
The Republicans dispatched at> Impro
vised colored Sergeant-at-arms after ab
sentees
The House became noisier and noisier.
When the roll was called sixty-two mem
answered to their names.
The Speaker (pro tem.) started oijt bold
ly and defiantly, but the noise and con
fusion was <oo much for him, and he be*
gan to get weak in the knees. Things
were assuming a very serious shape, as
the Democrats were threatened with ira‘
prisoument for contempt, anddivers other
punishments.
Seeingho.w mattersstood, Speaker Glass
resumed his seat, relieving the irascible
M’Creary. .
Order,now reigned in Warsaw, or rath
er, there was a lull in the storm. ‘I
. Speaker Glass always behaves with
much courtesy towards the Democrats,
and. they appeared to be perfectly satisfied
that he would treat them with fairness.
The Speaker then ordered the yeas:
and nays.. " Shall the main question be
put?” Forty-seven Radicals voted—the
Democrats still bolding out;
The Speaker stated that members
within the bar of the House, and not

The Democrats, “In contempt,” as
they voted gave their reasons for not vot
ing while Mr. M’Creary wasiri the chair,
In strong and unmistakable language.—
Messrs. Jenks, Boyle, Chalfant, Quigley,
Jones, Boyd, Maish and Rhoads were
particularly severe on Mr. M’Creary.,
They gave him a terrible scathing. He
endeavored to reply to Mr. Jenks, but it
was a failure. Each of the Democrats
said that they had been most outrageous
ly dealt with by the Speaker, (pro tem,)
and although in the minority, they were
determined to maintain their honor, and
dignity, no matter-at what cost.- They
complimented -Speaker Glass -in high
terms for his impartiality, and expressed
themselves satisfied that if be bad been
in the chair they would not have been so
insulted.-
Our gallant little band of Democrats
have taught the Radicals that they are
not to be trifled with; qnd -Mr, MlGreary

Whenever the Radicals got quarreling oraongst
themselves they let out some-mighty ugly Se
crets. On Thursday last, Bingham of Ohio .and
Bon Butler got Into a personal altercation.—
Bingham twitted Butler with his military blun
ders which brought such disaster and disgrace
upon our arms; and Butler, referring to the
part Bingham hod taken In the military commis
sion which hanged Mrs. Surratt,said: “ The only
victim of tho gentleman’s prowess was an <nno
uoccnt woman hanged upon the scaffold! His only
victim in the war was Mrs. Surratt. I can sus
tain tho memory of Fort Fisher, If ho and his as
sociates can sustain him In the blood of a woman
tried by a military commission and condemned
wllhoutsufllolont evidence I” These words, Com
ing from-BonJamln F. Butler have an Important
signification. They show how oven tho leaders
of the Radicals regard that bloody murder—for
murder it was, and os murder it wlllbo recorded
on tho pages of impartial history. It Is true that
while tho whole country shuddered at an Innocent
woman being murdered for a political offense,
the Radical leaders headed by Slovens and Wade
chupkled'over tho blood they had spilled; hut
tho day of their bloody orgies has ended. Light
seems to bo breaking through the clouds. Even
Ben. Butler grows horrified at the enormities of
' his political associates, and brands them os mur
derers. ,
I am happy to inform you that Congress soon
Intends, to establish a Republican form of gov-.
ernment for Pennsylvania. 1 see it announced
in tho Chronicle that alarge number of influen
tial citizens from Pennsylvania are In tho city
for tho purpose of urging upon Congress'the
pressing and immediate necessity of making a
military district out of your State and placing it
under the command of oho of Stanton’s. Brig
adiers. The pretext for this movement is the se
rious disorder Is said*to prevail In some of
tho mining .regions of Schuylkill and Lehigh
counties. You may rest assured, If Stevens and
Forney can bring It about, Pennsylvania will be
la as bad a condition al'South Carolina or .Lou
isiana wlthlnsix months. Wo already have a
military despotism over ton States o{ tho Union,
imditlsa mere matter of time as to ita estab
lishment over the balance of the Union.
On Saturday, Wilson of. Massachusetts, offered
the following BUI to regulate the elective fran-
chise iu the United States:
Wiieueas, The fourteenth article of the amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States has
been ratified by ft sufficient number of States, ahd
is therefore a part of the fundamental law; and,
Whereas, The first section of said article of,
amendment declares that* 1 all persons born or
naturalized In the United States; and 'subject to
the Jurlsdlotlon thereof, are oittzens of the United
States, and of the State wherein they reside, and
that no State shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or Immunities
of citizens of the United Statesand,
Whereas. The said fourteenth article of
amendment to the Constitution empowers Con
gress to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the
provisions of the said article;
Therefore, Be it enacted by the Senate and Home
of lieprcsantativcs of the United Slates iu Congress,
assembled, That there shall bo no denial or the
elective franchise tqany male citizen of the Uni
ted States by any State on account of color or race
or previous condition, anything in the constitu
tion or laws of any State to thocontrary notwith-
standing. 1 .
Seo. 2. Andbe it further enacted, That, each and
every person who shall violate the provisions
ol this aot shall on conviction in any court of the
United States, be fined for each and every offence
not less than one thousand dollars, or bo Impris
oned not less than six months, or both, at the
discretion of the court.
The man who can stand lip in the face of .this
bill, and say that the Republican party la not In.
favor of negro-suffrage must have a good deal of
check.
It Is remarkable whnt astern devotion to the
principles of the Constitution, and what pro
found regard for habits of economy have been
developed on the pari of the Radicals during the
debate on the bill appropriating a million of dol
lars for the relief of Southern distress; Their
conscientious scruples never troubled them when
they appropriated 89.0U0,000 for the lazy, worth.-
lesa blacks of the South; but when 81,000,000 Is
asked for thestarvlng whites we hear moreabout
11 the dear old Constitution!* than wo have heard
from Radical throats for the last twenty years.—
The money being asked to relieve the distress, of
the whites, is of cpurso’rcfuscd; had It been for
the negroes, the request would have beorrgrnnted
cheerfully.
The President has sent In* his veto of the sup
plementary Reconstruction bill. It will compare
favorably with any of his best efforts, and Is a
plain, logical and constitutional document. The
President argues that all the machinery of mar
tial law and military coercion, has bat one ob
ject, the elevation of the negro and the forcing
upon the people of the South a class of citizens to
whom they object. Ho then makes an apt quo
tation from a speech of Daniel Webster, on South
Amorloftli affairs, us /eljowsf, **A milUary ro.
public, a'govcrnment founded bn mock elections
and supported only by the sword, was a move
ment-indeed, but a retrograde and disastrous
movement from the bid-fashioned monarchical
systems,” and’added—“ If men would enjoy the
blesslngfTbf republican govcrnrtiont, they must
govern themselves by reason, by mutual counsel
and colsolatlon, by a sense and feeling of general
interest, ond.by the acquiescence of the minori
ty la the will of the majority,"properly expressed;
and above all, tho military must be kept, accor
ding to the language of our Bill of. Rights, in
strict subordination’,to ,the civil authority,-
Wherever this-lesson is not "both learned and
practiced, there can be no political freedom,’. Ab
surd,, preposterous is It, a scoff, and a satire on
free forms of-constitutional liberty, for forms of
government to be prescribed by military leaders
and tho right) of suffrage to ho exercised at the
point of the sword.” . Caucasian,
VETO OF THE STPPLESIENTABY BECON<
STBVCTIOK mi.l..
To the Souse of Representatives ; ,
I have considered the bill entitled “ An
Act Supplementary to an Act to provide
for the more efficient government of the
Rebel: States,” passed March and
to facilitate restoration, and now return it
to the House of Representatives with my
objeotions.
This bill provides for elections In the
ten States brought under the operation of
the original act,to whichitissupplemen
tary, Its details are principally directed
to the elections for the. formation of tbe
State constitutions, but by the sixth sec
tion of lbs bill, all elections in the State
occurring while the original act remains
in force are brought within its province.
Referring to tho details, it will be found
that, first of ail, there is to be a registra
tion of the voters; no one whbse name has
not been admitted on tbe list is to be al
lowed to vote at any of these elections.' To
ascertain who is eutittled to registration,
reference is made neccessary by the ex
press language of the supplement to the
original act and to tbe pendihg bill. Tbe
fifth section of the original act provides as
to voters that they shall be made citizens
•of the State, twenty-one years old or up--
ward, of whatever race, color, or previous
condition, who have been residents of said
State one year. Thiels the general quali
fication, followed, however, by many ex
ceptions. No one can be reglsterdd, ac
cording to the original act, who may be
disfranchised for participation in the re
bellion, a provision which left undeter
mined the question as to what amounted
to disfranchisement; and whether with
out a judicial sentence,'the act itself'pro
vided that o’ftefct. This supplemental] bill
superadds an oath' fp be taken’by every
person before his name call be admitted
to registratlon' tbai I 'he has'not been dis
franchised for participation la any rebel-;
lionorclvli war ngqiugt tire United States.
It thus imposes ! upon evefy person the
necessity and -responsibility or deciding
for himself, under the-peril 'of punish
ment by a military' commission if he;
makes a mistake.’ what makes disfran
chisement by participating in rebellion, 1
and what ampunis to such participation ?:
Almost every man, tho negro as-well os
the white, above twenty-one years of age,
who was resident in'the ten States during
the rebellion,Voluntarily orlnvoluntarilyj
at some time, and in' some waj). did par
ticipate in resistance to the lawful autho
rity of tho general government. The ques
tion with the citizen to whom this oath is
to be proposed, mdsfrbe a fearful one, for
while the bill does-not declare that perju
ry may be assigned for such false swear
ing. hor fix any penalty for the offence,’
We must not forget’that rtiartlal ipw pre
vails; that every person. U an'aWetabfe to
a military commission Without ipte Vldud
presentment by a Grand Jury; for any
charge that may be made against him,
and that tho supreme' authority of' the
military commander determines the ques
tion as to whatJs the -measure of punish
ment. : •• '.'■ 1 1 - 1 til -i !

They are to have the of tlie bal

must pass without redress. All
that Is left for the commanding general Is
to receive lie returns, open thesame, and
ascertain who are chosen, according to the
returns of the officers who obnduct such
elections. By such means, ahd with this
sort of agency, are tho con yentlonsof dele
gates to be constituted.
As the delegates are to speak for tho peo
ple, common justice would seem to re
quire that they should have authority
from tho people themselves. No con
vention bo constituted will, in any sense
represent the wishes of the inhabitants of
the States for under the all-embracing

disfranchisement, leaves open to *he
Board of Officers the great body of the
people may bo excluded from the polls,
and from all opportunity of expressing,
their own wishes, or voting for delegates
who will faithfully reflect their senth
meats.
I do not deem it necessary further to
in vestigate the details of this bill; no con
sideration could Induce mo t 6 give my
approval to such an election law for any
purpose and especially for the great pur
pose of framing tho constitution of a State.
If ever the American citizen should ho
left to the free exercise of his own judg
ment it is when ho is engaged In forming
the fundamental law under which he is to
live. That work Is hia work, and It can
not properly be taken,out of his
All this legislation proceeds upon the
contrary assumption that the people of
each of these'States shall have no consti
tution except such as. hiay bo arbltrarily
dictated by Congress, and formed under
the restraint of military rule. A plain
statement of facts raakcsrthls evident.—
In all these States there are existing con
stitutions formed in the accustomed way
by the people: Congress, moreover, says
thattho constitutions are not loyal and
republican, and requires the people to
form them anew. What then, in the
opinion of Congress, is ncccessary to
make the constitution of a State loyal
and republican 7 The original act ans
wers the question; it is universal negro
suffrage—a question! which the federal
Constitution, leaves-to the States them
selves. At! this legislative machinery of
martial law, military coercion, and po
litical disfranchisement Is avowedly for
that purpose and none other. The exist
ing constitutions of the ten' States .con
form to the acknowledged standards of
loyalty and republicanism, indeed, if
there are degrees tn republican forms of
government their constitutions are more
republican now than when these States —
four of which were the original States—
first become membersof the Union.-Con
gress dods not now demand that a single
psovlslon of their constitutions be ex--
changed, except such as couffnesuffroge to
the white population. It is apparent,
therefore that these provisoes do notcon
form to tho standard of .republicanism
which. Congress seeks to establish. ■ That
there may bo no mistake, It is only nec
essary that reference should be made to
the original act, which declares such con
stitutions should provide that tho elective
franchise shall be enjoyed by all such
persons as have qualifications herein stat
ed for election of delegates. Which class
of persons, is here meant clearly appears
in the same section, that Is to say, the
male'citizen of said State, twenty-one
years old and upward of whatever race
color, or previous condition, who has
been resident in said State for one year
previous to the day of such’election.—
Without these provisions, no construction
which can be formed in any ono'of the
ten States will be of any avail with Con
gress. This, then, is the test which the
constitution of a State of this Union must
contai n to make it republican 7 - Measur
ed by such a standard, how few of the
States now composing the Union have
republican constitutions 7 If, on the ex
ercise Of the ’ constitutional-guarantee,
that Congress shall secure to every State
a republican form of government; univer
sal suffrage for* blacks as well os whites,
os a sine qua non\ the work of reconstruc
tion may as well begin in Ohio ns In Vir
ginia, in Pennsylvania as in N. Carolina;
When T cohtCmplate 'the, millions of
our fellow-citizens of the Smith with no
alternative left but to impose upon therm
selves this fearful and untried experi
ment of complete negro enfranchisement,
otid white diwfranolilßemcn b, it may boal
most as complete; submit Indefinitely to
the rigor of martial law, without a single
attribute of freemen, deprived of all the
sacred guarantees of our federal Consti
tution, and ; threatened with even worse
wrongs, it seems to me their condition is
the most deplorable to which any people
can - be reduced. ‘lt Is true that they have
beCn engaged id rebellion, and • that in
their object to bring abouta separation of
the States and a dissolution of the Union
there was an obligation restiiig upon ev
ry loyal citizen to treat them as enemies,
and to wage war against their Cause. In
flexibly opposed to any movement imper
iling the integrity of the government, I
did .not hesitate to urge the adoption of
measures fertile suppression of insurrec
tion. After a long and terrible struggle
the efforts of the government-w Ore tri-
Umpbantly successful ; and tho people of
the South, submitting to. the Stern arbi
trament, yielded forever the issues of the
contest; Hostilities terminated ; soon af
ter it became my duty to assume the re
sponsibilities of the Chief Executive of
fice of the republic, and T at once en
deavored to repress and control the passion
which civil strife bad engendered, and no
longer regarding these erring millions as
enemies, again acknowledged them as
our friends and opr countrymen. Tho
war had accomplished Its objects the na
tion was saved, and that cardinal princi
ple of mischief, which, from the birth of
tho government, had gradually but in
evitably brought on the rebellion, totally
readicated, Then It seemed to me, was
tho conspipjous timg to commence the
work of reconstruction, Then, when the
peoplesoughtonce more our friendshlpand
protection, 1 considered it OUr duty gen
erously 1 to meet them in the spirit of
chhrlty and forgiveness, and to conquer
them even more effectually by the mag- :
nahimity of the nation than by the force
of its arms. I yet believe that if the poli
cy of reconstruction then inaugurated,
and which contemplated an early restora
tion of this people to air their political
rights, had received the support of Con-'
gress; every one of these Btatos and all i
their people would at this moment be fast
anchored in the Union and the great
Work which gave the war all its action,
and made it just and holy, would have
been accomplished. ■
Then all over the vast and fruitful re
gions of the South peace and its blessings
would have prevailed; while now millions
are deprived of rights guaranteed by the
Constitution to every citizen and after
nearly two years of legislation, find them-,
selves placed under an absolute “ military
despotism;” A military, republic, a gov-,

eleven o.’olqok, by the unusual and start
ling cry of fife. ' ft was soon discovered
that the Steam- Spoke Factory buildlne
belonging to Wm. L. McCullough,
on fire,' and which, in the course of a halt
an hour, was entirely consumed. It | 8
supposed that the fire originated by sonm
means from the engine. The building
and machinery were insured.

initsafut '
■ Messrs Editors': .1 have Just returned
from RheeaPs Hall,.where iwentto hear
alecture on lecture was
funny, but the place wasn't. On the con
trary, I have seldom or never hud a sen
sation of more actual horror in connection
With ah assemblage Ina public building
than upon this, occasion. The Hall was
filled to its utinost capacity. During the
lecture a peculiar noise was heard lathe
ibaok part of the roo.m, Which gave rise to
■the impre3slon,thut;the floor was break
ing down,'and: quite a number of persons
made a hasty exit;. This was a false aud
doubtless,foolish, alarm, but It made mo
-shudder, to- think how easily tbo panic ol
the fewmight have extended to the whole
audience, and how frightful must have
beep the result, J3uch panics. arc by. no
.means uncommon. There are but two
inarrow doors of exit from this room,
1 through which you pass down twdvery
: narrow stair ways that meet at the bottom,
, and. thence you find your. way along an
entry through folding-doors to the street.
When I-notioed to night, that hid oncof
these folding-doors was open, aud that nil
!of the doors open imvardty ,. and when I
poked at the.deuse.mas3 of human be-
ings pressing out of this building at the
close of the lecture, and thought of uu
alarm of fire, or auy cause of sudden ter
ror, in such' a proWd, in. such a place, do
you wonder that a sickening feoliugoamo
over mo, and that •! resolved to ask at
once through your columns the question
above ? If there is uo law’ agalust such
a construction pf public buildings there
should be one immediately, made and en
forced. ;Of course, what I say is not at all
to injure the owner of this hall, but to se
cure the Pumio Safety.
