Hlr: OOMOI lIAIIu ticket.
Wo hear from nil sections of our coun
ty (hot the ticket selected by the recent
Democratic County Convention gives
pcnend satisfaction. Indeed, ourfriends
appear zealous, sanguine and deter
mined, and speak confidently of elect
ing every man by a majority that will
strike terror into the Negro party'. This
is the proper spirit—the spirit that will
enable ns to secure a groat victory. 1 lie
ticket is unexceptionable In every rc-
spec-t, and no one railing himself a
Democrat should think of scratching a
-single name on it,
Dor Assembly the Convention select-
ed our respected townsman, Theodore
ConxMAN,a man born and raised in our
midst, and whose character, moral and
-Dolitiortl, is usiimv°.’iched UIUUI
fioachablo. Mr. C. is a young man of
fair promise, and he has tho will and
the integrity to make a valuable and
conscientious servant of the people he
will represent. "We endorse his nomi
nation with pride and pleasure, for we
feel satisfied he will nut disappoint the
most sanguine hopes and expectations
of the Democracy of old Mother Cum-
berland.
For Sheriff wo have that sterling
Democrat and upright man, Joseph C.
Thompson - , of Carlisle. Mr. T. Is a
printer by trade, and a graduate of this
otftcc, and is well and favorably known
hy nearly every Democrat in the coun
ty. His character is man rc.pvoachc, and
he possesses every qualification necessa-
ry to make a good Sheriff. Even his
political enemies respect his moral
worth, and here in his own town many
men of the Republican party will give
him a lift on the second Tuesday nLOc
tober, and thus assist to elect a man to
tho office of Sheriff who will deal fairly
with the people and protect them in
their rights.
* CHRISTIAN MeMJNOKU, of Newtoil,
is tho nominee for Treasurer, Mr. M.
is a fearless and uncompromising Dem
ocrat, and there are not many men in
our county to whom the Democracy are
more indebted. He is one of the few
men who stood up holdly and defiantly
lor onr cause and our principles when
l lie spies and minions of the Lincoln
administration threatened bold, out-
spoken Democrats with all kinds of per
secution. We can sympathize with
Democrats who, like Christian Melling
ur, boldly advocated the right, when
others quailed before the storm of polit
ical persecution and scomitlreJism. Mr.
M. possesses, in an eminent degree, the
qualifications necessary to the proper
discharge of the dutiesthut will devolve
upon him. He is popular with the hard
listed democracy, and will be elected by
a triumphant majority.
Our candidate fur County Commis
sioner is that incorruptible old Demo
crat, Allen Floyd, of Monroe.—
Among the Democrats of (his county
his name is a tower of strength, for all
know him to be a man of probity,
firmness and capacity. He is iiniver
>a)ly beloved and respected wherever
Known, and every man of his party, and
many out of Ins party, will come out
fiilbuMuslicully to the support of honest
old Allen Floyd.
David Wole, a life-long Democrat,
who has done yeoinaii service in days
gma* by, and a man of sterling worth,
was nominated by acclamation for Di
m-tor of the Pour. JOverybody was for
him, because everybody believed be was
just the man for this responsible posi
tion. Mr. Wolf is an intelligent farmer
of Middlesex township, and his integri
ty is above suspicion. He will be-a
most valuable acquisition to the board
of Poor House Directors. His election,
by a large majority, is conceded by all.
John' B. Dkawuauoh, Esq., of Low- |
i r Allen, is our candidate for Jury Com
missioner, This is an office created by
our last Radical Legislature, and is a
very important and responsible posi
tion. It is not a lucrative office, but it
requires a man witli brains to ill! it,
and tills the Democracy think they
have got iu*Mr. Drawbaugh. A better
selection could not have been made.—
Our only regret is that while Mr. D’s
services will be invaluable in that office,
the office itself will not be more valua
ble to him. But it is absolutely neces
sary that the position should be filled by
a competent mail, and the selection of
Mr. Drawbaugh was made just because
he possesses, in an eminent degree, the
qualifications necessary to the proper
discharge of its duties. Mo will make
an excellent Commissioner.
For Auditor the Convention selected
Eu AS Mountz, of South Middleton.—
Me is a gentleman of character, and a
good accountant, and his selection was a
compliment he well deserved. This of
fice, like that of Jury Commissioner, af
fords hut a trifling compensation, but
yet it is necessary that a careful and
competent mail should fill it. The Con
vention was fortunate in making selec
tion of Mr. Mounts fortius position, for
all feel that he will perform his duties
in au eminently satisfactory manner.
We have thus noticed, individually,
our candidates, and we now submit
them to the people, conscious that their
merits will be recognized, and confident
that they will all be elected triumphant
ly. Let the Democracy organize at
once. We are proud of pur cause and
have confidence in our candidates, and
under their banners will achieve the
greatest Democratic victory ever won
in Cumberland county.

THE HEIST JOKE OF TUF. SEASON.
Last week’s Herald contained the fol
lowing, which is too good to bo lost:
Seoesii Resolutions.— Among the res
olutions passed at tile Berks County Cop
perhead niceting which assembled on the
util instant, are the following :
“ Resolved, That this Union is compos
ed of separate, equal, .sovereign .States, and
that no rigid, or shadow or right exisis. ,
‘under the Constitution, for Congress to
hold sovereign States as subjugated prov
inces under military rule," &c.
“ Resolved , That the maintenance in
violate of the rights of the States, and
especially the rights of each SMe to, order
and control its own domestic institu
tions according to Hu own Juelginent cx~
etnsivein, is essential to that balance of
power oif'wliich the perfection and endu
rance ofoiir political fabric depends,
—Here wo lidvo the old Calhoun doc
trine of-the sovereignty of the States,
which led to the Rebellion, reiterated in
plain words. Buchanan held similar views
when he declared at the outset of the re
bellion that the General Government had
no rigid to coerce a sovereign State—a
plain proposition If the premises are
granted. The right of secession w thus
acknowledged by the Copperheads of
scooud resolution declares it lo be
the especial “ right of each State orrfe'
and control its own domestic iNMiru
tions, according to its own judgment ex
clmicrtu." Tliis acknowledges the right
of eiieh' Rebel Stale to re-adopt Slavery
whenever it sees lit. Are the people pre
pared to endorse this platform ? Do they
wind shivery re-enacted hy State laws*.
Do I hey desire to pave the way for another
Rebellion f If they do, let them hy all
moans vote forjudge Sliarswood and the
Copperhead ticket.
The Republicans hold that the General
Government is alone sovereign—fuul the
Statessubordinaie—that &ce-stion is ; 2/*<’«-
ao.F V\.v 1 «-•*»»
he preserved." ThU is the on y safe
platform, and every loyal man will 2d aml
upon It.”
Unfortunately for til e lit raid this sec
ond resolution, which is denounced as j
reviving “ the old Calhoun doctrine,” j
as “acknowledging the right of each
Rebel .State to re-adopt Slavery when
ever it secs tit” and as “ paving the way
for another rebellion,” is taken word,for
word from, the platform adopted by the
Republican Convention which nominat
ed Abraham Lincoln in ISGO. In “ The
Political Text-Book for 1880—Compiled
by Horace Greeley,” we find the fourth
resolution of the Platform of 1880 repor
ted as follows:
” That the maintenance inviolate of the
rights of the States, and especially the
right of each State to order and control
its own domestic institutions, according
to its own judgment exclusively, is essen
tial to that balance of power on which the
perfection and endurance of our political
fabric depends.”
It goes even further, and declares:
“ WE DENOUNCE THE LAWLESS
INVASION BY ARMED FORCE OF
THE SOIL OF ANY STATE OR TER
RITORY, NO MATTER UNDER
WHAT PRETEXT, AS AMONG THE
GRAYEST OF CRIMES!”
What does the Herald think of its
“secesh resolutions” now? Are they
right, or are they wrong? Are they
redolent of “loyalty” or do they smell
of “ treason ?” If the Republicans hold
that “the General Government is alone
sovereign,” wore they honest or dishon
est when they declared that “ the right
of each State to order and control itsown
domestic institutions is essential to that
balance of power on which the perfec
tion and endurance of our political fab
ric depends?” Were they “foxing"
then, or are they “foxing” now?”
We beg leave to suggest to the young
gentlemen who insist on obtruding their
ignorance of the affairs of the country,
upon the public, through the columns
of the Herald, that a journal which
claims to be an organ of the party which
“embraces all the intelligence and edu
cation in the country,” ought to be bet
ter “ bookedami it may not be out
of place to re-prodneo, for the informa
tion of our neighbor, a few more “secesh
resolutions,” which it will find in the
Republican platform of 185 G;
“ Resolved, That as our Republican
fathers ordained that no person should be
deprived oflife, liberty or property, with
out due process of law, it becomes our
duty to maintain this provision of the
Constitution against all attempts to vio
late it.”
“ Resolved, That while the Constitution
of tlie United Stales * * * contains
ample provisions for the protection of the
life, liberty and property of every citizen,
the dearest constitutional rights of toe
people [of Kansas] have been fraudulent
ly ami violently taken from them—their 1
territory lias been invaded by an armed ;
force—spurious and pretended legislative,
executive and judicial officers have been
set over them, by whose usurped author
ity, sustained by the military power of
the government, tyrannical ami uncon
stitutional laws have been enacted and
enforced—(lie rights of the people to keep
and bear arms infringed—test oaths of an
entangling and extraordinary nature
have been imposed as a condition of ex
ercising tile right of suffrage and holding
office—the riglit of an accused person to a
speedy aiid public trial by an impartial
jury has been denied—the riglit of the
people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers and effects, against tin reas
onable searches and seizures, lias been
violated—they have been deprived of life,
liberty and property' without due process
of law—that the freedom of speech and of
tile Press lias been abridged—the right to
choose their representatives hasbeen made
of no effect—murders, robberies and ar
sons have been instigated and encourag
ed, and.lhe offenders have been allowed
to go unpunished.”
What a withering piece of satire upon
the policy of the Republican party Is
embraced in the brief resolution first
quoted above! How they have “ main
tained this provision of theconstitution”
is knoyvn to the world. Tito record of
the crimes committed in the name of
liberty, during the last six years, forms
the blackest and bloodiest page in
American history. Itis known how men
were torn from their homes and families,
at the dead of night, without warrant
of law, were thrown into prison without
trial or commitment, and were made to
suffer penalties unknown to the crimi
nal code of any Christian people. And
wlint a terrible bill of indictment the
second resolution presents against the
radical leaders. There is not a crime in
the whole revolting catalogueof which
they do not already stand convicted at
the bar of public opinion—there is not
an usurpation or an outrage of,which
they have not been guilty. Read the
charges in the hill, one by one, and com
pare them with the wrongs of which
thc.South complains to-day, and see with'
what overwhelming force they charge
these high crimes and misdemeanors
upon tlie radical revolutionists.
Won’t the Herald look up another
hatch of “secesh resolutions?” And
while it lias its hand in on the subject
of secession and disunion, it may as well
lay before its leaders the petition pro
son fed by Giddings in the'House and
Hale in the Senate, in 1850, praying for
“an immediate, dissolution of the
Union”—and the'speech of Lloyd Gar
rison in which he congratulates himself
that “this Republican party Ims now
taken its position under the banner of
disunion”—and thedcclaration of Banks
that “ lie was willing under certain cir
cumstances to lot the Union slide”—
and the recent declaration of the old sin
ner Thad. Stevens, that his party has
repudiated the Constitution and over
thrown the Union established hy it.—
These “secesh sentiments” are now car
dinal points in tho creed of its party,
and there would lie a singular pro
priety in their reprodueiion in its col
umns.

Just now, while tiie Radicals are spend
ing some fifty millions of the money
wrung from the toiling millions of the
North to establish negro supremney in
nil tho Southern States, and while the
Republican Journals of Pennsylvania
nro demanding the passage of Sumner’s
universal negro suffrage bid hy Con
gress, with the assurance .that the Yan
kee Williams will pronounce it consti
tutional and binding, it may he well to
refer to President Lincoln’s opinions on
that question.
In 1860 the firm of Follot, Foster &
Co., of Columbus, 'Ohio, issued, under
the patronage of the Republican State
(Committee, a volume containing the
celebrated discussion between Messrs.
Lincoln and Dougins, when those gen
tlemen were rival candidates for the
position"of U. S. Senator from Illinois;
it also contained what are denominated
“ the two great speeches of Mr. Lincoln
in Ohio in qSoil.” In Mr. Lincoln’s
speech at Columbus in hSfilt, he says:
Appearing here for the first time in my
life I have hem somewhat embarrassed
for a topic hv way of introduction to my
speech ; hut 1 have been relieved from my
(his morning. In this paper I have read
an article, in which, among other state
ments, I lind the following;
“In debating with Senator, Dougins
during the memorable contest of last lad,
Mr. Lincoln declared in favor of negro
suffrage, and attempted l« defend that
vile conception against the little giant.*’
X therefore propose, here at the outset,
not only io suy that this is (t misrepresen
tation! but to show conclusively that it is so.
Mr. Lincoln then read an extract from
his spcch at Ottawa in which ho said:
“ X have no purpose to introduce politi
cal and social equality between the white
and black races. There is a physical dif
ference between tic two which, in my
judgment, will forbid their ever living
together upon the foolingof perfect equal
ity. - lam not, nor ever have been
in favor of making voters or jurors of ne
groes, nor of qualifying them to hold
office, or intermarry with white people;
and I will say In addition to this, that
there is a physical difference between
the white and black races which, I be
lieve, will forever forbid tho two races
living together on terms of social and
political equality.”
Curious readers \v\U find aU we have
quoted in the volume referred to on
pages 240-241,
I*ol*E and freedom.
General Pope wrote a long letter re
cently to General Grunt,givingbis views
of the policy of reconstruction in the
•South. He declared that his chief wish
was to secure freedom to the people of
that section in their political action, and
that without that condition fully guar
ranteed no valuable reconstruction could
ever be effected. Vet in the same letter,
Pope recommends the disfranchisement
of the while people in the South, and
their expulsion from the country. When,
therefore, he spoke of freedom as the ba
sis of reconstruction, we conclude thathe
meant freedom for the “niggers” and
not for the white race. This view of Ids
policy is fully confirmed by (he fact that
lie has required all Government adver
tising to be taken away from the papers
that lie chooses In consider disloyal, and
given to those only which advocate Ills
mode of dealing with the people in ids
District. Pope is ait unmitigated ass.—
He proved hiinseHj{o bo so when he had
command of the Army of the Potomac
and ran away from the enemy, and he
is now discovering equal unfitness for
the positions in winch lie is playing the
part of both a fool and a tyrant. When
ho superseded McClellan, lie made a
great llourisb of trumpets, and among
other startling ami bombastic announce
ments, declared that his “headquarters
wore In the saddle.”
Grant as War .tllnisior
Wellnd the following among, the spec
ial dispatches to the Evenbuj Bulletin
of the 21st inst:
Washington, Aug. 20. Gcu. Grant’s
administration of the War Department is
creating no slight astonishment. He
ignores politics, and exacts lldelity and
merit us the only test of promotion.
He inis introduced a system of rigid
economy. All superfluous oillecrs will
be dismissed, nml expenses reduced to the
lowest point.
Vi'c hardly supposed the Jhiltctin
would allow such a dispatch to appear
in its columns. It indirectly charges
that Stanton made polities, not merit
or fidelity, a test of promotion, and that
he had failed to introduce a system of
rigid economy in the administration of
his department. The country is well
satislied that Stanton is obnoxious to
these charges. It mattered not how
merituous a soldier was his services
could not receive recognition at the War
Department unless he was a Radical in
politics. He was extravagant in his de
partraent, andretained in commission a
large number ol officers whoso services
were not required. All will rejoice at
the reform General Grant is about to
make, and it will satisfy the country
that a change in the war minister was
badly required. The military establish
ment now costs the people a great deal
too much money, and any reduction in
the expenses will bo hailed witli delight
by the tax-payers.
SST-T-he Democratic conference for the
twenty-first Senatorial District met at
Lewistown, on the 23d ult., and unan
imously placed in nomination Charles
J. T. Mclntire, Esq., of Perry, and S. T.
Shugert, of Centre, ns candidates for the
State Senate. Werejoice at this evident
determination on the part of the Demo
crats of that district to redeem it. The
high character of the two gentlemen
nominated, must secure them many
votes from the better class of Republi
cans, and thus secure their election be
yond a doubt. Let our friends of the
several counties composing the district,
go to work manfully, and victory will
crown their efforts.
Gov. Gkaiiy, upon learning of the
nigger victory in Tennessee, ordered a
salute to bo fired at the expense of the
State. It seems to us that decency, at
least, under the circumstances, should
have prompted him to buy powder with
his own money. Their patriotism,
however, never takes money out of
their pockets—it only puts it in.
Eight negro school directors have
been appointed by direction of the Sa
trapey at New Orleans. Unless Radi
calism is overthrown, the same thing
will soon occur in Pennsylvania. How
would- our citizens like to have their
schools and their children placed under
the control of negroes ?
fIENGRiI* GRANT AND POPUIIB
«OVEUNMK?f T .
General Giuntia in dangerof losing the
golden opinions which Ids milltory suc
cess won for him from ail sorts of people.
His elevation to the post of Secretory of
War seems to have made giddy a head
usually mol ami steady. He lias recent
ly violated that liahit of silence liy which
lie was “ reputed wise fur saying noth-
ihg,” uml ids correspondence wltli tlio
President discovers at once that ho is very
ignorant of the true nature of our Podcr-
Govermnentund very intemperate in the
tone and manner of uttering ids crude
opinions. In the following pnssogeof his
letter urging the retention of Sheridan In
in's command, lie mokes two positive
statements both of which are false. He
says
** I(. 1b unmistakably tho expressed wish of tho
country that General SUorldaa should uot l>o re
moved from his present command. This Is n re
public whore the will of the people Is tho law or
tho land.” . _
We take leave to tell General Grant
that the country has made no formal and
express declaration of Its wish for or
against Sheridan's removal. It had hod
no opportunity to do so in any collective
and authentic form. Nor la the ** ex
pressed wish” of thirty odd millions of
people, scattered over this land from the
Atlantic to the Pacific anafrom the Lakes
to the Gulf, to be ascertained from the
pages of partisan newspapers, though
General Grant seemed to think so. More
over, his idea of what constitutes the “ex
pressed wish” of the country, corresponds
exactly with his idea of what constitutes
aw. He says that “this is a Republic*
o»* tixv pwjile is me fna* of
he land.*' Xot precisely. The will of
he people, when regularly expressed in
ome prescribed and authoritative form,
s the law of the land,” but not other-
Xot even every act of Congress is
wise.
necessarily “the law of the laud,” al
though presumed to express the will of
the people at the time of Us enactment. —
If the act be unconstitutional, it is null
ami void; because, by the Constitution,
which is the highest expression of the
will of the people, ami tho supreme law
of the laud, the people have limited the
legislative powers of Congress and there
by limited, also, tho power of clothing
any expression of their will by Congress
with the binding force of law. The will
of the people, in order to bo the “ law of
the land," must be expressed indue form
and must be consistent with the Consti
tution. But General Grant is evidently
of the opinion that tho will of a bare ma
jority of the people, however got at or
guessed at, whether gathered from a par
ity press, or from town meetings, or from
the harangues of demagogues, or in any
other loose and irregular mode whatever,
is therefore “ tho law of the land,” and
must be respected as such, notwithstand
ing the Constitution, which is tho high
est, most solemn, and therefore the most
authoritative expression of that will.—
This shows, conclusively, that Grant's po
litical education has been sadly neglected,
and wo advise him not to betray his ig
norance again by further attempts at
statesmanship.
Tito Xpgro Equal Right** Convention «t
Heading-.
Wo arc compelled to resort to the New
York papers for an account of the do
ings of the negro convention at Read
ing. Forney’s Press t the especial organ
of that class in the state, has not a word
to say in reference to the doings of this
wing of the Republican party. Wo take
the following from the New York Her
ald :
The Negro Equal Rights Convention
held two more sessions to-day and ad
journed.
Resolutions wore passed condemning
the course of Senators Fessenden, Trum
bull and other republicans In steadily re
fusing to face the question of manhood
suffrage, and recommending voters of the
South to support such men as Sumner,
Stevens, Wade and Stanton for the Chief
Magistracy; cautiouingthefreedraenofthe
South and elsewhere not to be deceived
by mushroom politicians, but to remem
ber those who had been their tried and
true friends in the darkest hours of the
nation’s history.
Mr. Forster, of Philadelphia, pronounc
ed General Grant us occupying an equi
vocal position, and Wendell Phillips ns
impractical. Thorepubllcan.partymight
as well nominate a woman as nominate
Wendell Phillips, who had flatly refused
to run for office under a government
which sanctioned the war power, though
he had been true to the interests of the
negro race and had suffered much in the
cause.
Resolutions were also passed denying
the jurisdiction of the National League
at Washington ; establishing a joint stock
company at Washington for the publica
tion of a radical newspaper for the newly
enfranchised negroes and encouraging
money remittances for the education of
colored young men for politics and the
rostrum.
Win. Nesbit, of Altoona, was re-elected

Gen. Sickles has removed the police of

The City Treasurer of New Orleans
has been deposed by order of Gen.

Gen. Schofield, commander in Vir

Gen. Sickles Ims deposed a magistrate

nue laws of Congress provided the same
number of inspectors for each Statens
eacii State had representatives in Con
gress, and as Virginia Ims no Represen
tatives, and not even an independent
State government, there can be no legal
inspectors within her limits. The Com

time to consider;
M. Russell Tiiayeb, late member
of the Rump, and defeated aspirant for
the Supremo Court nomination at Wil

icals of Philadelphia as their candidate
forjudge of the Court of Common Pleas.
He was nominated in the face of a letter
of declination, and it is not certain that
ho will accept, unless over-persuaded.
It is so difficult to induce Radicals to
accept office.
Tjru Richmond City Council have pro

EETTEU FBOM TH4I>. STEVENS.
s
1m iTBCOMtitBtIOHiI BfA«t! I
Mr. Stevens hna again rushed Into print,
ond this time to tlio infinite damage of
his party. Stevens Is a bold and fearless
but bad man, and when ho speaks or
w ■ iten means exactly wind be says. Wo
desire to call particular attention to the
following correspondence, and especially
to the paragraph, where, in speaking of
the passage of the so-called reconstruction
hill, lie says: " Some of the members of
tlie Senate seemed to doubt their power
under the Constitution, which they hud
j list repudiated and wholly outside of which
all agree thatwc dreading; elec our whole
work of reconstruction was usurpation."
Yes, Mr. Stevens, it was bald, rank usur
pation, and you know full well that you
and your party have been acting outside
of the Constitution ever since you were in
power. Wo give you this credit, that you
have always been honest and fearless
enough to say so. But then another ques
tion arises; Are the people bound to obey
the laws passed by such an irresponsible
body of men as Stevens and his col
leagues of the “ Bump" Congress, who
arc acting outside of the Constitution t We
contend they are not. They have the
right to resist, and should do so with ail
tlio means that a just and merciful God
hath given them. Heaven speed the day
when they will have tlio courage to do
so:

Dear Sib: Several of your intelligent
constituents in this region, no doubt from
want of proper information, are complain
ing of mistakes make by Congress in not
passing laws at the last session restrain
ing the removal of certain officers engag
ed in Reconstruction. I contended that
you had passed an act at the very close
providing for that very contingency, but
which is not executed.
Will you be so good as to in form me how
far our Representative is responsible for
this omission, if omission it be? You
know we are in the habit of dealing fa
miliarly with the member from tho
“ Ninth.”
A brief answer will much oblige
Your friend, SAMUEL SHOCK.
Lancaster, Pa., Aug, 2-5, 1807.
Cot. Hxmuel Shoch, Columbia, Pa.:
Hear Sir : You arc right in supposing
that Cogress made mistakes, as is the ine
vitable lot of man, but you mistake In
supposing that there is any law to pro
hibit the removal of the District Com
manders, without the consent of tho
Senate.
Soon after the commencement of the
last session of Congress, I reported a bill
from the Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives which contained a prevision
prohibiting the removal without the coh
sentof the Senate; it passed the House
and was sent to the Senate. Tho Senate
struck it out and returned it to the House,
who refused to concur in the amendment.
The result was a Committee of Confer
ence, where an animated contest ensued.
There were several other questions in
controversy between the Houses, which
the House offered to yield if this could be
granted. The Senate perseveringly re
fused,,declaring that they would sooner
lose the Bill. As that would frustrate all
our Legislation, it could not bo allowed.
The House yielded, with a warning of
the evils itwould inflict upon tbecountry.
Some of the members of the Senate seem
ed to doubt their power under a constitu
tion which they had just repudiated, and
wholly outside of which, all agreed that
we were acting,—else our whole work of
Reconstruction was usurpation; or, per
haps, they bad a desire to be thought to
gravely conservative and magnanimous.
Those ideas seemed to control the action
of some half dozen Senators, who prefer
red trusting the President.
My. dear Colonel, a few Senators of
great ability, undoubted patriotism and
purity, have become so saturated with
what they are pleased to call conservatism
{whose meaning I confess I am unable io
understand) that I fear they will forget
tho monster that was slain in 1776, and
again in 18«1, and will thus do great dam
age in the creation of a government,
«o capable of being converted into a po-"
litical Paradise. This is liable to happen,
not so much by a direct and palpable at
tack upon its frame work, os by gradually
forgetting the vital principles of the Dec
laration of Independence. Strike on t one
of the living sparks which give life to our
Goddess of Liberty, and the mysterious
and intense heat whose welding fires near
a century ago, and at present, are fusing
the principles of freedom, and reducing
despotism to a cinder, will gradually cool,
until the most conservative despot could
thrust his sword into it, without affecting
its temper.
X have said above, that I did not know
the meaning of Conservatism. I have
since seen the report of a speech, said to
have been made by an Ohio Senator, at
Canton, Ohio, whose accuracy I do not
at all credit; for if it be truly reported,
and is to be considered the true doctrine,
then it ia very alarming—worse than
Gopperheadism. It is legislation with
: out authority, and Reconstruction bj T
usurpation.
I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
THADDEUS STEVENS.

11l one of her letters to the Chambers*
burg Depository, (Radical), Mrs. Swlss
belm gave the following as her estimate
of the Radical candidate for the Supreme
Court. It may be premised that Mrs. 8.
is a thorough-going Radical, a shrewd ob
server, and probably as good a judge of
mental abilities and stamina as any one
of her sex in public life:
“It appears to bo an acknowledged fact
that the Pittsbnrg bar is to-day os little
burdened with brains os at any period
since it was a bar—and no better evidence
of its appreciation ofrsapccta&le mediocrity
could be offered than its selection of Judge
Williams for the Supreme Bench. In’4l
and ’42, when be was a law student in the
office of Judge Lowrie, I had some busi
ness in settling my father’s estate. Judge
Lowrio was my attorney. Going to the
oillce one day, I found him explaining to
Mr. Williams and anotherstudentapoint
of law, and he asked me to sit down and
wait. I sat down and bad the benefit of
the explanation; heard tbe questions pro
pounded by Mr. Williams and the other,
and the going over and simplifying the
case by the teacher. I sat in blank amaze
ment, wondering if that little man ever,
ever, ever, would get enough law into
his head to make any kind of living by
letting It out In quantities to sultcustom
era; but ho Is sober, industrious, patient,
and plodding, and after all his (fullness
of comprehension,' did learn a good deal
of law, and 1 think that in anywise which
was well established by precedent, dud
which had been carefully and lucidly ex
plained, and simplified, be could under
stand it, and would decide according to
the best of his knowledge and belief.—
When he comes to a new field of investi
gation, the saints have compassion on the
poor, fat, short, puffy man. What a time
he would have wading, floundering—and
what a muddle he would be likely to
make of it! A man of active brains
would not be likely to run quite as much
to that substance most valuable in whales,
and if the Republican party of Pennsyl
vania have nooettpi' material out of which
to manufacture a Supreme Judge than
Hon. W. W. or H. w., or W. something
Williams of Pittsburg, they had better
vote for the Democratic candidate, who
ever he may be, on the ground that they
r cannot be worsted. 11

No Punishment eob Radicals.—The
Harrisburg Patriot & Union soys:
As predicted by many of our citizens
and declared by several prominet Radi
cals, the Radical grand Jury has ignored
two of the bills offered against the per
sons charged with purloining records and
goods from the State offices. It is as
confldentiaiy expected that those against
whom true hills have been found will es
cape through the action of thepetltiurors,
nearly all of whom are Radicals also.
«F.N. CBASra POSITION
So much has recently been said In the
radical papers aboutthe terrific, and over
whelmingprotestofGeneral Grunt against
the terms of the Presidential orders re
lieving Sickles and Sheridan, and we
have heard so little from the same source
since the General subsided and quietly
withdrew ids protest and consented to is
sue the orders, that tlio following, from
the Washington correspondence of tlio
Philadelphia-Inquirer, may not prove un
interesting. It is- sufficiently explicit
and needs no comment. .
The course pursued by General Grant
in tills matter was decided upon after a
careful consideration of the Reconstruct
tion not passed at the extra session of the
lost Congress, which, it seems, does not
confer upon the General-lu-Clilcf the
power to direct the district commanders,
as it was first supposed it did. T lie third
section of Hint bill provides Hint “ flic
General of the Army of the United States
shall bo invested with all. Hie powers of
supervision, removal, appointment and
detail granted in the preceding section to
district commanders." ...
The proceeding section referred togives
the district commanders authorityto sus
pend or remove from office any officer or
person holding or exercising any civil or
military office or duty in such district,
and such suspensions or removals wo sub
ject to Hie approval or disapproval of the
General-in-Chief, and there his authority
ends. If any district commander ap
points disloyal persons to civil or muni
iipai offices within- his district, General
Grant can remove them; orif Hie district
comlnandersusnends or removes local in
cumbents the General of the Army can
annul his notion, thereby reinstating tlio
removed officials.
■run onxmiAr. rowminnss;
This being the law Grant could not in
sist upon the instructions ho inserted in
the order assigning General Thomas to
relieve Sheridan, namely, to continue in
force all the acts of Sheridan’s adminis
tration. Neither could he insist upon
Sheridan coming first to Washington be
fore relieving General Hancock, because
he had no law to sustain him in so doing,
and to have done so would have been to
place himself in direct insubordination
to the orders of the President, which Gen
eral Grant is too good a soldier to do.—
Under those circumstancesheyicldedand
very properly, to the clearly expressed
letter of the law. If the law is defect! ve
that Is not his fault, but the fault of tho
i law makers in not doing their work more
efficiently.
TRUE STATE OF THE CASE
General Grant, after thinking over the
matter and examining the law, and find
ing he could not maintain tho position he
had taken in his protest, voluntarily
sought the President, and after they had
discussed the question very fully In the
most friendly spirit, General Grant with
drew his protest. It cannot be known
positively what transpired at, the inter
view. But there is good reason for stat
ing that the President told General Grant
he did not wish to have any difficulty
with him about the matter, that he con
sidered he had the law on his side, and
that General Grant would so acknowl
edge after examining it, and as this >vas
found to be really so, there was no use of
disputing about It.
Then it is believed Grant admitted ho
could not sustain the position under tho
law, arid the President not wishing him
to make all tho concession gave the Gen
eral to' understand that as he had met
him in such .a frank and conciliatory
manner, he “the President” would not
interfere with the district commanders,
or insist upon their, making removals or
attempt to reinstate any of tho officials re
moved without first consulting General
Grant upon the subject.

“ They go straight to the mark, over
the head of General Grant, who, in all
this business, is but the President’s sec

Grant’s opinion with reference to Sheri

STKVKSS AND USURPATION'
Old Thatl. Stevens, in his Schoch lotr
lev, betrays the infirmity of mind wh s ch
precedes physical dissolution. He says
that all that the Radicals have done in
Congress in “ reconstructing” the South,
has been done “outside of” and in con
travention of the Federal Constitution,
and that if that bo not so, then all they
have done “/a usurpation ” Does not Mr.
Stevens mean to say, that if “ the whole
work of reconstruction” by the Radicals
wore done outside of the Constitution, as
he alleges it was, that then and in that
case, it was not and Is not “ usurpation?”
His language certainly means that or it
means nothing, incur judgment the
action of the Radicals was usurpation
either way—whether they acted outside
of or against the Constitution. They had
no right to disregard the Constitution at
all—neither to treat it as abolished utterly
nor to transgress it. The rebels did.not
destroy It; the people have not repealed
it. It stands intact to-day, ns il stood be-'
fore the war, except so far as it has been
amended in conformity with the mode of
amendment which it appoints. How,
then, did Hr. Stevens and his associates
in Congress act “outside of” and “repu
diate” it? By usurpation only and not
otherwise. They and their party have
done nothing but exorcise usurped power 1
from the day of. Lincoln’s inauguration
to the present, and their only excuse for
that treason to the Governmrnt and to
the people, as it is also their chief and
crowning act of usurpation, is their prac
tical abolition of the Constitution, with
out which both the Government and the
Union could not legally exist.— Sunday

punishment. Postponing their trial at
this time, without any apparent good
reason for doing so, looks somewhat sus
picious, to say tho least. Tljo Radical
