FAVORS ATtALUtIUTION
'n-neral Howard, head of llrecd
men’s‘Bureau, is out publicly in favor
of the amalgamation of tin* races. A
ashington correspondent says tliat
” Howard’s holtl avowal hu- excited
great consternation among tho-e Radi
cals In Congre- who have become cog
nizant of the fact, and mo-t nf them
agree that the sentiments of the chief
"[’ the FreedmeiiN Bureau unwt he
bi j*t ax quiet as po-siMe,*’
Howard, a- our reader- are
a ware, is a shining light in the rank* of
hi- parly ; he runs the Bureau for Urn
beuetU of vagabond negroes, at an ex
pense to the white men of the North o
millions of dollars. He i- very “101 l. 1
and, like Hon. Butler, John Forney
su.d thousands of other-. has made lov
it 11%’ pay. Ifi» open advocacy of amal
gamation may cvcite “ consternation”
amongsome men of his parly, but How
ard need not be alarmed, for we have
no doubt his idea will be a leading fea
ture in the eroed of tlie R idical party
before long, and lie will yet he lionized
for having broached it. When negro
eq utility and universal suffrage were
first suggested, some Radicals were
frightened; they Jcared extreme mea
sures like these might create divisions
in their ranks, but they got over their
fright when they noticed that their par
tizaus, with few exceptions, were ready
and willing to swallow the nigger, hide
and hair, and make him a companion.
Now, no one is considered ’‘truly loir’
who is nut willing to speak of the negro
as his equal, il not indeed his superior,
“ bloody-handed rebels,'’ even such
men as Gen. Longstreet, Lee’s right
hand man during the whole four years
of the war, can have their "bloody
hands” cleansed, their sins washed out
in u twinkling, and be d6clared “loil,”
by merely saying that they consider the
ignorant negroes of the South their su
periors, and capable of controlling the
affairs of this country. Wo repeat, then,
that Howard, the big captain of the
Freodmen’s Bureau, need not feel alarm
ed at the twitching* of some men of his
party who fear that his open advocacy
of amalgamation is had policy. They
will get bravely over that feeling by
and-by, and no doubt will be ready to
dispute with Howard as to who first ad
vocated the doctrine.
Pile on the agony, then, gentlemen of
the Radical party-r-put down the screws
—insist on negro equality, negro office
holders, and finally on amalgamation.
All right. The people are fouL you
know, and will submit to anything that
Radical conspirators may concoct. Trot
out Grant, the man who stands branded
as a falsifier and dissembler by the en
tire Cabinet of President Johnson. Let
him be put on the course, hy all means,
and then let the white men of the na
tion speak, and their voice will he heard
in tones of thunder from one end of the
Union to the other—“down with the
umalgamationists, traitors, negro-wor
shippers and falsifiers.”
Perpetrators op Chime in the
South. —We observe, upon looking
through our .Southern' exchanges, long
lists of persons who intye been sentenced
by. courts for petty crimes or offences,
Hourly till of ivhoin were negroes. If
the latter were better men than '‘reb
els,” why the vast disparity in the com
mission of crimes? If it be said that
tlie courts were partial, and punished
negroes, while white rebels went un
whipped of justice, why have not the
military, under the reconstruction acts,
interposed for the protection of hun
dreds upon hundreds of the “superior”
black race?
Notwithstanding the two-day ex
tension of the four-day “election” in
Alabama, the carpet sacks and nigs
have been defeated in carrying the so
called constitution. To prevent a like
result in other States the Rump of.eourse
will immediately pass another bill ma
king a mere majority pf vote? Biifflclent.
A BIG BKBATE-NF.GHO WOMAN THE
SUBJECT.
A negro woman Wits ejected from the
cars of the Baltimore and Ohio mil-road
a few days since, because she insisted on
occupying a seat that had been previ
ously assigned to a white lady. She
became obstreperous and impudent, and
the agent very properly pm her out of
the oar. This negro woman.it s«vm<.
is one of the employees of the U.
Senate—in what capacity is not stated.
Of course the Radical Senators felt wry
much inccnsetl when they hoard that an
indignity had been offered their darling
negro lady by an agent on the Haiti*
muiv and (diio rail-road. Had Stan*

the white lady then appealed to the

thing to alleviate the now felt
in every State, consumes Us time in an
attempt to defend the impudence of a
negro woman. Wo had supposed, that
the Civil Rights Bill had been passed
fur the purpose of meeting just such ca
ses as this; but the Radical Senators felt
and know that this woman was in the
wrong, and hence it was that they could
not trust her case to the courts, but
must take it into their own hands for
settlement. fs it to be wondered at
that our country is reeling like a drun

a despotism, when we see the kind of
men who now represent us in the Na
tional Capital?
. Take the Radical political tricksters
and army bummers from tire secret or
ganization called the “Grand Army of
tire Republic,” and very few members
would remain. The organization is not
under the control of the real soldiers of
the late war, lienee it is not a lit place
for true soldiers. The political leaders
wire are setting up negro governments
in tiro South have full control of it, and
their design is to dupe tire soldiers into
voting the Radical ticket by making
them believe that they Rhc loaders) are
doing everything solely for the soldiers’
benefit, bet no soldier allow himself
to be inveigled by those slavering hypo
crites, for, sooner or later, the brave
fallow will find that tire scoundrels can
lie like serpents and sting like adders.
Radical Senator Nve lias left his
official duties at Washington and gone
to stump New Hampshire. “Tho’ lost
to sight, to memory dear”—and dear
also to the pockets of the tax-payers.
Whenever a poor mechanic loses a day
from work, by reason of sickness, or
from any other cause, ids employer
“docks” him a day’s wages. Why
should not Radical Senators, Congress
men and office-holders in the same man
ner be “docked” for time spent in po
litical speech-making and trickery?
It is said that Stanton wrote tho Grant
letters to President Johnson.

It is an old and Inn; saying that “the
pon is mightier than the sword," and
has found its latest illustration in the
correspondence between President John
son and General Grant- The lumiilitir
ting position in which Grant has bead
placed by that con espondenee has deeply
chagrined the Radicals. A week agt\.
thinking they had at lust discoyiajfctP
something on which to base wiSjijSntsh
inenl, they called for this
and they got a little more than Iheyrbai;-
gsmied for. The only way for Grant to
explain his duplicity hi giving up the
| War office to Stanton, in opposition to
the known wishes of his superior officer,
was to rai.-e a direct issue of fuel with the
President. He virtually charges the
President with lying about the mutter;
but fortunately for the President, and
unfortunately for poor, disgraced Grant,
Secretaries Welles, M’Culloh, Browning,
[Seward and Randall were present when
the interview transpired between John
son and Grant, and they confirm every
thing that Johnson says, and seriously
damage Grant’s reputation as a man of
honor, and veracity. In plain truth
(hunt wilfully and deliberately lied to
the P resident, and of this olVense he
stands convicted out of the mouths of six
witnesses. The President said, in con
versation with a friend on Saturday last,
that he would give SIO,IKK) out of his own
pocket, if the American people could
have seen Grant at that Cabinet meeting
when the questions were being pul to
him by the President in regard to his ac
tion in the Stanton mailer. “He is not
by any means a big man” said IMr. John
son, “either mentally, morally orphysi
cally; but before be had answered the
questions we put to him, he seemed to
have shriveled up into no bigger than my
list,” Poor Grant! He prates about his
" honor i\s a gentleman and a soldier,”
when his whole course in this Stanton
matter shows that he scarcely knows the
meaning of the word. But he lias ob
tained his price. So long as ho main
tained his honor unsullied, he hadn’t
any show for the Radical nomination for
the Presidency; but now that he has
shown himself capable of any measures
that may be necessary to carry out the
revolutionary schemes of his Radical
masters, his nomination is a fixed fact.
All the bluster about impeachment has
again ended in smoke. The Reconstruc
tion Committee backed squarely down
and laid Stevens’ impeachment resolu
tion on the table hy a vote of six to three.
There never wasu clearer case of “ fizzle”
in the history of the government. Old
Thad raved like a mad hull, ami called
his weak-kneed Radical brethren “ cow
ards” and “ traitors,” but all his threats
failed to bring them up to the scratch.—
Tiiey felt that the load was a little too
heavy even for the Radical party to
shoulder.
The defeat of the Constitution in Ala
bama threw tlie whole Radical camp in
to confusion. It was a severe blow from
an unexpected quarter. After all the Ja
ilor and intrigue of months, reconstruc
tion was slaughtered in the house of its
friends. But tlie Radicals are determin
ed not to be beaten. Although under tho
provisions of tlie Reconstruction meas
ures Alabama Inis rejected tlie Constitu
tion dictated by the leaders at Washing
ton, yet she is to he admitted as a State,
on a vote of scarcely one sixtli of her
qualified electors. Her vote is needed
for Grant, and 'sire and tire other South
ern States must bo brought in under ne
gro State governments before tire Presi
dential election—and for this they will
violate their own arbitrary Jaws.—
Whether the white people of the North
will submit to have a President of tire
United States elected by the negro votes
of tho South remains to be seen.

moon with Jupiter and Venus ; and three
nights later Jupiter will pass Venus by
only twenty-three seconds of a degree.—
The result of these conjunctions and
perturbations will be utmosphericcommo

high tides, earthquakes, and nobody
knows what besides. Moreover, the
whole year willjje fearful for its storms,

be a total eclipse of the s\m a* nine

precise anniversary of the day on which
George W:\shu\gton was horn, In order

the moon this year, but there will be two
of the sun and one of the Radical party.
The latter will be visible in all portions
of the United States, including tbo five
“military districts,” formemlly known
as the Southern States, some of which
were the “original thirteen,” for which
George Washington and other “ traitors”
fought seven long years. May the great
cslipse speedily come.
Improving.—Our enterprising neigh
bors of Moclmnlcsburg have introduced
gas into their thriving town, and seem
disposed to put on airs in regard to the
matter. They’ now have both water and
gas; and we don’t know whut borough in
the State has a better right to put on airs
so far as thrift and enterprise are con
cerned. We trust they will continue to
let their , (gas) light shine, that others
may see their good works.
IjECtitrk ry Mr. Beecher.—We see
it announced that Rev. Hen|3* Ward
Beecher will deliver a lecture at Cham
bersburg, on “ Work and Workmen,” on
Tuesday evening, the 25th inst. Won’t
the Young Men’s Christian Association
or the Good Templars, or some other of
our home organizations make an eflort to
have Mr. Beecher stop with us one eve-
ning.

T™£-9i?£ ANT TO SOLDIERS AND
JLniEIR HElRS.—UarlJsle, Pa, Feb. 20. Jaus
The undersigned takes this method of answer
ing numerous letters addressed to him on tho
subject of U. 8 Bounties, by giving tlm follow
Ing Interpretation of the several aclaofCWn !
By a recent decision of tho Court of Claims nii
soldiers who enlisted for three years, under ’tlw>
President’s Proclamation of May 3rd, 1801. prior
to duly 22nd. 1861, and were discharged for llisn.
b litv, before .serving two years, are entitled o
8100 bounty. As tho law stands, these soldimS
were not onlltled to tho bounty, on account nr
having served less than two years.
Tho ‘‘One Year” men are not entitled to m<
additional bounty. Tho third Instalment of«M
WA will not bo paid In any case, when tho V RoS
dier served less than his full term. As yet there
are no provisions giving bounties to 3 mid n
months men. '
Soldiers enlisted prior to December 21 Hal in
between April 1. HOI, and July IS. Hot are ciiil
lied to 8100 bounty. Between December‘M Imu
and April 1, HOI, 8300. ' * ”•
Soldiers who were prisoners, or their help*
are on titled,to " Commutation or But ions" utt la
rate of 2.*> cents per day, for every uav they wn>
In prison.
Colored soldiers, are entitled lo lhosameb.,im
ly as white ones.
Men who enlisted for three years and
promised a bounty of SHOO, but were dlsehan-.-d
on account of wounds received before the exiiini.
Hon of their term of onllstrnenl, are entitled n,
tin* remainder of bounty.
Colored soldiers, who enlisted between Hie Dili
of June 18(11, and tho -lth of July 1801, were not en
titled to any bounty, but by a decision rendered
in April 1807, they are now entitled,
Alt persons drafted under the callsof Hie Pu-„.
idi-nt ol Feb. 1, !8(1J, and March 11,1 SCI, who paid
the commutation of SHOO, and were subsequently
drafted, under the call of December 10, 1801. anil
entered the service or furnished substitutes.an
entitled to SHOO, from the Government.
Persons who have lost their discharges are en
titled to the additional bounty.
It has been decided that every soldier shall la
regarded as having served to the end of the war
who enlisted for three years, and was mustered
out with his regiment, because ills services wen*
no longer needed, and is therefore entitled to the
additional bounty.
Soldiers charged with, or convicted of deser
tion, but who wore aflorward honorably dis
charged are entitled lo Hie same bountydliat U
paid other soldiers.
A bill has been reported by the “Committeeon
Pensions’’ in Congress, allowing S 8 per month
pension to ail soldiers of the war of 1812, which I
think will undoubtedly pass.
Special attention given to the collection of all
claims against the Governmort by
