CARLISLE, PA., Thursday Morning, Jannnry 2, 1809. A GJLEAM Of LIGHT. A telegram from‘Washington informs us that an order has been issued, by di rection of the President, removing the redoubtable Mayor General John Pope from command of the Third Military District and assigning General Meade to his place •, also removing General Ord from command of the Fourth district and succeeding him -by General Mc- Dowell. -This looks as if the President intended to place the execution of the military reconstruction acts in ■ the hands of men who can be relied upon to protect the interests of tlio white men of the South as well as t lie negroes. It looks ns if there was to lie an end of the partisan tyranny which lias cursed tiic South under the rule of tiro original satraps. In Ids message to Congress in reference to the course of General llan-, code, the President intimates that Han cock is the only commander south of the Potomac who lias not ruthlessly trampled onthe rights of the people;, and wo may reasonably expect that un der the new administration of affairs in the Third and • Fourth Districts, the rights of the people will bo protected. Gen. Hancock announces that ho will make the law the rule of his conduct— that he will hphold the Courts and the civil authorities—that the trial by jury and the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not bo crushed out or trod-' dep under foot —that the principles of American liberty aro still the inheri tance of the people. For these declara tions the President suggests to Congress that some public recognition of Gen. Hancock’s conduct is due. And if these now appointees are to carry out the same views, wo may look for a better state of affairs in the South. It is higli timo.that some change were made, for tlio people of the South could not much longer endure the abject tyranny to which they have submitted during the past year. The infamies of Pope and Sickles and Sheridan upon tlio white men of the South, will make one of the blackest pages in American History, and the sooner their dirty work is un done and put out of .sight, the better it Wjll bo for tho peace and credit of the Country, “ MANHOOD. From aaingle copy of one of our daily exchanges we make up the following chapter of negro doings : A German and Jus child wore killed, and the wife and. another child hadly wounded, by a negro, near Venice, 111. Tho details of the tragedy are shocking. The perpetrator was caught and lynch ed. In Mobile, on the (sth nit., a hurley uo?ro, named Boston Crawford, attemp ted to commit a liemlish outrage on a little girl 12 years of age. Her screams brought ftssitance. The negro, ran, but was arrested. A white man was killed, and a negro terribly beaten,near Bigbyville, Tcnn., a, few days ago, by men in disguise. At Montgomery, Ala., on the oth, two negroes were discovered in a poultry yard stealing rhickeiH. The lady to whom the chickens belonged, ordered the negroes away, when one ol them raised a gnu and shot her. On the loth nil., Walker Edmunds, a young merchant, while ric'iing out near Memphis Team., was met hy two ne groes with muskets. Without a word one of them raised his musket ami shot Edmunds in the forehead. The Memphis Bulletin of Doc. 8, de tails tho particulars of a negro outrage upon a lady, and tin* robbery of a store, and escape of the perpetrators.. SrixiK Pav.mi.n is. - In his report Sec retary M’Culloch contends at length lor un early resumption of specie payments by contracting the ennemy and funding the Hunting debt. He says : “ H may not be sale to lix the exact time, but, with favorable crops next year and with no legislation unfavorable to contraction at this session it ought not bo delayed beyond tbo Ist of January or at the farthest the Ist of July, 1.5U1)." In Ids report of last year lie held that specie payments might be resumed as early us July 1, 18G8, but these anticipa tions were crushed for the following rea- sons “ The grain crops of 180(1 wore barely aulllcieut for borne consumption. The expenses of the War Department, by rea son of Indian hostilities and the estab lishment of the military governments in the Southern States, have greatly exceed ed the estimates. The Government has boon defrauded of • largo part of the reve nue upon distilled Honors, ami the con dition of the South has been disturbed and unsatisfactory.” The following aro given ns Important if not indispensable conditions to a per manent restoration of the specie stand ard: “ Pint. The funding or payment of the balance of interest-bearing notes, and a continued contraction of the paper cur rency. “Second. The maintenance of the pub lie faith In regard to the funded debt. “ Third. Tho restoration of the South- ern States to their proper relations to the Federal Government.” As tho same obstacles that prevented a resumption of specie payments in 18CS, now exist, it is fair to infer that resump tion cannot occur In JSG9. Mliitarygov ernnients will not cease in tho .South ; tho condition thou will continue to be disturbed and unsatisfactory, ami the .Southern States cannot, under present Radical plans, ever resume their proper relations to the Federal Government.— Jlencc, uutll there shall bo a thorough renovation of Congress and a change in the character of legislation, specie pay incuts cannot bo resumed. G EN. Poi’E TO UK IIELIEVEI). It is currently reported at Washington that the President has decided to relleyoGcn. Pope of the command of the Third Mili tary District, embracing tho Stales of Georgia, Alabama, and .Florida. Gen. .Mead, who is named as Jus successor, was at the While House on Tuesday morning, and had a long interview with the Executive. It is said that grave charges have J>eeji made against Pope, and Ins recent letter, showing the ex treme partisan character of his adminis tration of affairs, is sufficient of Jfadf to caH for some interposition on the part of the President, and it is to ho hoped that it will be no longer delayed. flOy-Tho Chnmbersburg Repository Hays: . - J HnJici'o of our polity uiorot ot the bid "I ni f. . *°rc-»-K, u-|ilfh cmaimlo froju Jhe ceiiln «r Jill.

Misery ami Starvation—‘Effect of Radical I.CKlftlatloii' The New York World announces that in that city there are at this time fifty thousand persons out of employment.— They consist of employee* and artizans of every occupation. Why is it that so many thousands of men and women aro thrown out of employment? Why does trade in every department of in dustry languish? Why has.shipbui’kl ing almost entirely ceased in this coun try, and American commerce, one of tho main sources of our national prosperity, decreased from year to year? Tho cause of all those tilings is to bo traced to the bad legislation of tlio party in power. They have saddled tho coun try with a debt that taxes heavily eve rything that we cat, drink and wear, and have ruined the South, which rais ed our great staples and sustained labor nd commerce in the North. Tlio Mon gol Congress, instead of looking to the nterests of the country, and endeavor- ing to place business on a solid founda tion, is taken up in ways and means to keep their party in power. . They op pose a restoration of tho Union for fear it may in some manner work out their political discomfiture-; they oppose tho return of tho Southern States unless they consent to come back with negro majorities, so that the blacks can rule tlio whites and secure control to the Radicals, The remedy for all tho evils which oppress the poor man is the over throw of tho negro dynasty at Wash ington. Let it be done quickly. STAXTOX-THK I»KKJiIf>I2NT-TIIE RE- rciitu'ANN. The telling message of President Jdhn -Bon on Stanton’s case—the most scathing of his many able messages, and needing only a more weighty occasion and sub ject to make it a state paper of tho first order of merit—should have an effect on poor Stanton like the search behind tha screen in the apartment of Joseph Sur face, In the “School for Scandal.” If the man’s nature has any lingering rom uantof the sensibilities of u gentleman, he will hide his face in confusion and wish to slink away from human observa tion. We print the message in another place. Despite the sober and seasoned gravity of its manner, it is good as a com edy. Its effect on Stanton and his zeal ous Republican laudators, must be like 1 that produced on F&Utatt' by the expos ure of his prodigious heroism against tho men in buckram. iuvu ,1, um,»i»un It is conceivable enough that a man may ditler vehemently with tho Presi dent, oven on points where the President is strong and right, without having any cause to blush for his personal probity or his sense of character. A man’s honest prejudices, be they ever so violent, do not dishonor ami degrade him. But when a man passes himself off for a mar tyr and Is presently unmasked as a hypo crite, ho is beyond the pale of charity.— If Mr. Reward should turn upon the President and raise a upon tho ground that Mr. Johnson had‘'consented, to squander the public revenue hi tho Russian purchase, or If Mr. M’Oulloeh should try hi fasten on him a quarrel be cause ho favors a contraction of tho cur* ronev, or Mr. SUinbeny because he ve toeVihe llecmistniclinn bill, every hon est man would declare wilimut hesita tion, that llmM* members °f the Cabinet were disgraced, but if these scarcely snppo.-able hypothesis were facts, they would faile away before such infamy as Stanton’s. Tins perildimis miscreant hail the indescribable impudence to tell the President that he was unfit to lie trusted with the appointment of an ad interim Secretary of War, when be him self had been not merely an approver, but ilie uu(h brazen Unave and hypocrite out did even himself in publicly contesting the President’s authority to suspend him. He rested his remonstrance on the “Con stitution” and the “ laws," hut was pru dently tenderer going into particulars.— The word “ Constitution" in such a con nection should have burnt bis pen like vitriol and reddened tho very paper with shame. He, as having been a former Attorney-General, \rtjte consulted by the President respecting Hie constitutionality of the Tenuro-of-Oillce bill, and held it to be in plain conflict with the Constitu tion. Ho supplied orally ail the best points hi the veto of that bill, and would have written the veto message had it not been for a transient physical iulinnity.— And yet ho bad the amazing etlVonlery to plead Hie Constitution against the act of the President. A man capable of this is capable of any meanness, and ho prob ably was fn collusion with Congress at the very lime he was supplying the Pres- , dent with arguments against their action. Tho bill was probably amended so as to include Cabinet oillcers at life) instiga tion, and his arguments against Us con stitutionality were a device for warding oft*suspicion. This-snake in the grass was tho only member of the Cabinet for whom the Republicans hud any tender ness, or whom they had any motive to keep in office. The skulking baseness, the personal and official treachery of the perfidious caitiff in connection with tho Now Or leans riot, would alone bo sufficient to blast ids reputation aa a man of honor.— In tho very crisis of the danger, before tho riot occurred, ft despatch came to Washington from General Baird ftsklng instructions. This despatch was con cealed by Stanton, and kept from tho knowledge of the President for many days after the riot. Had the President received it In time, tho riot would have been prevented. That scene of bloody violence was precisely what the Repub licans needed to enable them to carry the elections agalnstthe President. It spread a sentiment of horror and vengeance thvoggh tho North which-gave tho Re publicans the elections. It thereby em boldened Congress fo adopt all the vio lent measures which, as the public mind sobers, arc producing so mighty a reac tion. Asa point of official duty, quite apart from Us noxious consequences, there could be no excuse for withholding that despatch from the President. Rut when the mischief was done, ami the country blazing from end to end with wild indignation against Mr. Johnson, theft it was that this wretch, Stanton, stooped hja smil in tho most villianous perfidy. By glvhig publicity to the facts, this uiidutifurßecrobiry. this spot ted and skulking adder, could have turn ed back the thlc of slanderous obloquy which was surging over his official chief.. It is no more than any honorable man would payc done, even if ho had no parly affiliation or personal relations with the President. ButStahtpn Ifty Hlfo a coiled reptile among the papers pf th.o Wftr 3}e partmeht, stealthily watching the Well ing caused by liis fangs. The serpent, having bltlen in secret, slunk into his don. He had pojsoued the public mind against Ajfr. Jqhnson, and if lie also sup plied tho’nntldoto, he yrould cancel Ids merit with tlib' President's enpnpes, and lesson their chances of triumph. Justice marches with a slow step, but softijprpr later she ovcrtakos’ull who mer it her soojjrge. The reputation of .Stan ton is smitten w/jth a loathcsomo leprosy from which no healing waters can cleanse it. The Republicans so hotly .espoused jilsnuarrel: they were so much Indebted ,to hf« iregenery ; his snaky folds are so \vound Into and interlaced with their fa vorite measures, *thnjt they cannot ih ptftij.fiy fling him dlT;’ but ho hppest Ro ‘pbhUftin a#i j fail to regard him aa a diy grftced mpn. Ho Is a shiny load for the »;iyty t t9,carry,'mid yet,they VvHlperhaps feel tfmt in thevery'/irstcontest that lias drfwif umer ttwffwffyfPSS? b . m ; they cannot bear tho humiliation of suc cumbing to tho President. It is not mere ly tho personal character of Stanton that ia in question; their Tenuro-of-Ofllco bill is in question; their Reconstruction schcmelsin question; the merits of their quarrel with tlio President arc Involved ; the party capital they made of the Now Orleans riot returns to plague them. — They may, therefore, caress the loathed reptile for awhile, lost hy too suddenly polling him away the limbs of thoiivown favorite «iuidren*sinm!d he torn off in Ids tightened coils, lie may perhaps give another hiss, before ho glides away fang less into* befriending obscurity.—A.

Correspondence AMiertam Volunteer, WASHINGTON, D. C.. DOC. 23, 13(17. Stanton is beginning to receive the reward of some of tlio villainy practiced by him during tlio Lincoln administra tion. During the war, Mr. Smithson, a banker in this city, was arrested by or der of Stanton, on the charge of sending information to tho..enemy. Ho was tried by a military commission, and sentenced to an imprisonment in the Albany penitentiary, and after remain ing there some time, was pardoned, and subsequently brought a suit for dama ges against Stanton for Sot),000. Tlio case was called up Inst week, and at tho rocpiest of Stanton’s attorneys was post poned for a few days. Stanton lias em ployed many of the ablest counsel in tlio country—among them Attorney Gen eral Stnuherry, Hon. James E. Brady ami Judge Piorpont of New York—but it is earnestly hoped tlio suit will go again him. In spite of General Howard’s recom mendation for discontinuing llis I‘Toecl mon’s Bureau in July next, there will ho a combined clfort on tlio part of tho “pimps” - and “lackeys” in (lie civil service of tho Bureau to have it contin ued for another year. General Grant is of tlio opinion Unit tiie District-com iinindors, with the large military force under them, cun perform all the duties now performed by tho large army of ci vilians in the service of tho Bureau.— But, notwithstanding Grant and How ard, tho “ lackeys” are persistent, and as every radical member of Congress lias some relative living otf the govern ment, as a Bureau official,;it is not very likely the Bureau will be discontinued so long as tho radicals remain in power. The speech of Mr. Brooks ou tho sup plementary reconstruction bill was one of tlio most eloquent and masterly ef forts of his life. Ho introduced, with admirable skill, and scholarly taste and force, historical, philosophical, and sci entific illustrations of tho dissimilarity of tiie white and black races of men, and presented a most cogent argument against tho Radical proposition to share with the ignorant and debased negro of the South the power of tlio whito man to control this Government. Tho speech was listened to with intense in terest by tho House, and a full gallery —by the Conservatives with a pleased interest—by tho Radicals with great at tention, but much evident discomfort. Those of tho latter whorepresenfStates in which the people have recently pro nounced, by terrific majorities, against tho cardinal Radical doctrine of negro equality, social and political, seemed particularly annoyed by the blows which were stricken fast and trenchant by tho strong “son of York.” Every voter in the land should read this speech. It should bo disseminated broadcast as a campaign document.— Every Conservative journal, we must think, will make an effort to find room for it—-the whole of it—that all white men may have an opportunity of con templating the foul radical wrong that is sought to be thrust upon us through the agencies of military satrapies and Africanized ballot-boxes, After great tribulation Oplonel Par ker and Miss Sacketc have at last suc ceeded in getting married. Your read ers have doubtless heard how every thing was made/eady for tho feast, but lo! tho “big Injun” failed to “come to time,” and the guests had to bo dis missed. It was then rumored that another “big Injun” a member of his tribe, tho Senecas, had taken Parker to his wigwam and drugged him in or der that lie should not marry the “ pale face.” But it is now given out “semi officially” that “ twcnty-jfouv hours be fore tho time fixed for the marital rites, Colonel Parker became ill from a dis ease to which all are liable Cortniifly, nothing could bo more satisfactory than this. To avoid further publicity, tho marriage was quietly consummated on Monday last, and on Tuesday, one of the morning papers having announced that the jedding was to be in the church of tho Epiphany, the church was crowd ed at an early. hour. For nearly two hours did the crowd continue to ebb and How, all anxious to see the ceremony, all, however, doomed to be disappoint ed and all chagrined. “Just to think of it,” exetohnofl ft very ancient lady, “to fool everybody twiceV but what could wo expect from ail Injun,” “PH vow ho was drunk,” exclaimed another. None wore disposed to bo charitable, and all were anxious to glean every item of intelligence about the sudden ness of his taking off tho fair Minnie, and tho Sexton was accordingly 'vigor ously plied with questions he was un able to answer. Fropi the concern man ifested by some, a stranger would have supposed that a fairy had been devour ed alive by an ogro, instead of a roman* tic, young and handsome Caucasian girl having become tho willing bride of a rod man, whoso dazzling uniform of blue had won her fqr his bride. At-thjs time, when the policy of the EopUblicnn party is aiming to conyprt tho Senntb of the United States Intel ii system of rotten in which the deputies of about seven hundred mid fifty thousand adultrnales of the recent ly emancipated African slaves will count twenty-two members, against fifty members for all the wlnto people -of the United States, it becomes a mat-. ter of great interest what quality of men they nro who will represent and defend in that body tiio civilization of tho coun try and age, and tho institutions and traditions of constitutional and popular government. California lias just con tributed the lion. Eugene Casscrly.— That gentleman is a native of Now Yorkemigrated to California about eighteen years ago; and has become a very leading member of 'the bar of San Francisco.

It seems to be under stood that Ohio will do her share to wards this great and noble work in the election of the lion. Alien G. Thurman to the Senate. Ho also lias for many years boon in public life, and has be come the leading lawyer of the capital of that Slate, and in the highest courts.

His experience, his political and forensic training, Ids learning on le gal and constitutional questions, his prudence and moderation, his pure and elevated personal character, and his comprehension of, and devotion 10, sound ideas of government and legisla tion will render his presence in the Sen ate an invaluable public benefit. The National Democratic llosident committee have adopted a scries of re solutions, in consideration of the mes sage of the President, recommending some public recognition of tho eminent services of General Hancock in admin istering the affairs of tho fifth Military District.

Old Father Time has about finished his 'o7 tramp; ami lucky it is for him that the holidays, with all their joy and smiles and laugh ter, arc placed so near Ills exit—for by their friendly aid he can escape with a happy “good-bye” and many pleasant wishes for his journey on into tho.path less future. One year further on in our march along tho rugged high-way of life! One year nearer the groat hereafter! It is a moment of solemn grandeur when tho oiil year lies down to die—taking with him all his dead hopes and blighted pros pects—and a new face comes upon the scene, and a new hand beckons us on to the shadowy and uncertain future. Oh, who can tell what that future has in store for any of us.? X'erhups it is better that we cannot lift tho veil, for our hearts, though stout and brave, might quail at the prospect. Header, what good thiugsliall we wish for you in tho new year? Could wo all carry ourselves back to innocent child hood, with its implicit faith in fairies and the whole worlds of happiness at their cominmUl, what is it that you would havens wish for you? Shall it be wealth? Oh no—tho golden dollars may prove a weary, weary load to your sad heart. Shall it be power ? The purple luxury of an emperor might prove as empty a bau ble to you as it did to poor, murdered Maximilian. What better thing can wo ask for you—from Him who holds our destinies in His hands—what greater blessing can wo call down upon your heads than simply “ a happy new year?” ” A happy new year,” whether the coat you wear be finest cloth or seedy home spun —whether you revel in marble pal aces or dwell in humble cottages—wheth er your daily food bo princely viands or tho brown broad of honest labor. Wc pray the kind fairies, then, who dance around tho cradle of tho new born year, in behalf of the readers of these local col umns—not for gold, which may take to itself wings and fly uway-r-not for power, which may bo shorn of its locks in a night-time—but that they may bo happy wherever they may be. Masonic Supper.—Wo had the pleas ure, on Friday evening lasi, (St. John's Day,) of witnessingtbe installation of the officers of Eureka Lodge, A. Y. M., at Moehnnicsburg. The large and boauli- AiJ ball was well filled with the Breth ren, and the proceedings were of a most interesting character. After the new of ficers had been duly instructed as to their duties by the District beputy Grand Mas ter, the Lodge adjourned to the Mer chant’s Hotel, where a sumptuous supper had been prepared by the obliging host and hostess, Capt. Kerr and lady. Some fifty or more of the Brethren were soon scaled at the tabic, and full justice was done to the good things spread before them. The supper had been prepared in elegant style, and everything that the markets' could afford graced the tables.— After all had finished, the Brethren ad journed to the large hall on the second floor, where another table was spread with confections, nuts, cakes, pies, tarts, raisins, '&e. Hero a Table Lodge was* formed,, when toasts were drank, im promptu speeches made, jokes cracked, &c. The evening passed away rapidly, and never have wo witnessed more cor diality of feeling, or more heart-felt.en joyment.

Surely all ought to be happy in this glo rious season when the angels proclaimed to the shepherds on the plains of Judea “ Peace on earth, and good will to men.” The holidays have come and gone, and we start on the dull routine of another year. Let us all try to bo truer and bet ter men and women.

They in tho 'meanwhile remained perfectly quiet, until they were unhitched, and tho sleigh taken oU’ them, or Mrs. L. must inevitably have been killed, as they were freshly shod, and had they struggled, iiu. consequences must have been fatal.
