ing shamelessly asserted that such was

a communication from some one “ high
In authority at the Harrncks,’’ which
attempts to assail the character of the
soldiers who took part in tiie meeting.
These carpet knights, whose chief duty
seems to be “to caper nimbly in some
lady’s chamber, 1 ' think it a terrible
misnomer that a recruit should be called
a gentleman. He this as it may, we i
have known some recruits who were |
gentlemen , and some officers who were 1
beasts. As to*general intelligence, cor-j
redness of deport inenuuid gentlemanly
demeanor, private Patrick, who was a
Lieutenant in the volunteer service,
will doubtless compare favorably with
his superiors. Hut one point of the
Herald’s misrepresentations remains to
be noticed;

A soldier from the Garrison lias
handed us a bill, removed by himself
from a public place at the Garrison
where he saw it placed about ten o'clock
on the day preceding the evening on
Which the meeting was held. It i
about six by eight inches in size, and

He also informs us that half a dozen
similar bills were posted at various
points around the Garrison. In re
sponse to this call the meeting; was held
and the room was crowded. Has the
Harold any more lies to be answered?
THE REGISTRY LAW
We publish in this issue, the infamous
Registry law passed by our Stale Leg
islature last week. The Radicals be
came alarmed at the success of the
Democrats last fall, and they have now
arranged, by the passage of this hill, to
cheat upon an extensive scale at the
coming elections. We ask every Dem
ocratic subscriber to read it mid then
hand it to his neighbor who does not
take the paper, so that every Democrat
in the county may know what is re
quired in order to qualify him as a vo
ter. A strict party organization is im
peratively necessary now, to counteract
the unprincipled action that will be
taken by our opponents under the forms
of law.
All the Intelligence.—ln the
Houseof Representatives at Harrisburg,
on the Cth inst., when the bill to gerry-’
mander the city of Harrisburg into
mongrel hands was up for considera
tion, the Radicals were reminded that
the city had given an increased Demo
cratic majority at the late election,
whereupon, Herr, a mongrelist mem
ber from Dauphin, in imitation of
Hickman, said “ to be sure tire Demo
crats had an increased majority at the
recent municipal election, but numbers
should not rule against enlightenment ,”
Herr, like a good “loil” mongrel as he
is, wants the intelligent nigger to vote
and he is looking to that event lor the
gathering together of the wisdom of the
country. That day, will no doubt be
Important in bringing to their ranks a
degree of intelligence and enlighten
ment, that they do not now possess.
They are very superior now ; but wliat
will they not be, when they have incor
porated the niggerelement ns a purifier
of intellect and morals. Isn’t it reason
able to suppose that they will aim at
the highest point, by all becoming
vastly fond pf other people’s chickens.”

"SET A ROGUE TO CATCH A ROGUE."
In the U. S. Senate, a few days since,
in the course of the debate on the bill
appropriating one hundred and seven
teen thousand dollars for the contingent
expenses of the Senate, Simon Cameron.
Senator from* this State, rose in his
place and charged that Forney, the
Secretary of the Senate, was a d-f.iulier
to the amount of slo,oihH Ihe eimrge
created a butter in the Senate. Finally
a Senator attempted to defend the dead
duck by trying to make it appear that
Forney’s confidential clerk, a Mr. " ag
ner, was the thief. Cameron rejoined,
defending ‘Wagner, and repeating his
first charge. After Considerable debate,
the Committee on Contingent Expenses
was ordered to investigate the matter.
1 It is well known that Cameron and
t Forney have no love for each other;
1 indeed, t hey are bitter enemies. Hence
I it N that Cameron is watching every
: opportunity to punish Forney. He
nmi believes he lias the “dead wood”
on-the dead duck, and in the face of the
Senate and the people, he brands hinrti
defaulter! Thus it is and has invaria
bly been, that whenever two Radicals
fall out, they at once brand each other
as thieves. More than this, they gou- ,
orally prove their accusations true.
Is it much wonder that tlie»«* rubbers
of the government are so anxious to re

GOLD FOR GREEN BACHS.
Should one of our prominent business
men, whose word was beyond question
ing, announce that for the purpose of
completing a work of great value to the
public, ho wishes to borrow money upon
his holes, paying 0 per cent, interest in
i**iid ihc.cfor,— and, furthermore, that
u Mi.* 11..- would take greenbacks at par,
).•• would redeem the notes hi gold, there
would be but the one question of security
to decide favorably, before the demand
for these notes would bo so great as to re
quire a banking-office for the reception’
and accommodation of the gentleman’s
customers, and the more promises to paj r
he should issue, the better would the pub
lic be pleased. Now, the Union Pacific
Railroad Company is making just such a
proposal to all who have money for in
vestment. The Treasurer of that Com
pany offers for sale the Company’s First
Mortgage Ronds, at pur and accrued in
terest in currency, but principal ami in-,
terrsfpayable in paid. As this is a propo
sition of unusual liberality, let us see if
the security is satisfactory. If not, the
promise to pay gold for greenbacks is
worthless.
In the first place the assets of the Com
pany are ample. The railroad which is
being built from the Missouri river to
the Pacific has an. assurance of success
such as nd other railway of the country
can boast. It will bo the only avenue of
passage and transportation by which the
miner, the trader, the farmer, and the
capitalist who help to develop the rich
interiorTurritorius will reach (he markets
of the East and West. It will also be,
the continental railroad ovei which the
trade between China, Japan, Eastern In
dia, or Australia, and Europe, will find
its shortest route. To meet these require
ments, and to be an enduring internal
improvement, the Hoad is being thor
oughly built ami fully equipped. When
Congress granted its liberal aid in the
construction of the line, it required that
each successive >ection of twenty miles
should ho favorably reported upon by
three Govern ment inspectors, as first-class
In every respect, before that distance
should be opened f> r business. The
Road is, tht-ieioie. good ol itself, with a
certainty of large and remunerative
traffic.
Upon this Road, the bonds offered for
sale constitute a Jirsl inortya(/r. Govern
ment donates toward the building of the
line 12,.SHU acres of public land /or every
completed mile, and also the right of way
Ibrou. li tlic national domain. It then
loans United states bonds to the Compa
ny to an average amount of 525,000 per 1
mile. So great is the national import
ance of the work, ami so evident its finan
cial success, that forseeurity for this loan
the Government accepts a second lien,
giying to holders of the Company’s own
bonds an absolute first mortgage’upon the
entire Rond. What bellersecurily could
be asked for than this?
Hut there is another and perhaps the
most conclu-iveevidence of the financial
soundness of the Company’s paper. The
completed portion of the Union Pacific
Road extends 000 miles from Omaha to
the summit of the Laramie Mountains.—
More than two hundred and fifty miles
of the line were built last year. Each day
saw an advance of the end of the complet
ed track. It was built into the wilder
nos, with its prospective terminus many
hundred miles away upon the Pacific
coa-t. It was the pioneer, not the follow
er of population and civilization. Natu
rally, its bu-iness would be light at lea*l
until reaching the mining centers. Vet
the report of the Treasurershows the re
markable fact that the net earnings of the
Rond from local bu.-ines, upon the incom
plete section, were more than three times

been i-sued. This is an evidence of pros

ic Railroad Company in populating and
developing the western hallof the Ameri

supremacy which it will ensure to the
United Slates by reason of the foreign
trade which it will control, but our object
has been to simply examine the security
upon which the Company propose to pay
principal and interest in gold. Tonsil

Ji m. i; Chase.— The New York Inde
pnidenl reads Chief Justice Chase out of
the Radical party. It says it lias rea
son to believe that lie would not accept
the Republican nomination for the
Presidency, but would accept the Dem
ocratic nomination. Upon this the
New York Post remarks thntthoremust
he something seriously wrong or rotten
In the Republican party if a statesman
like Judge Chase stands ready to aban
don it. It cannot afford to drum out
such men.
Or the growth of the Astor estate
some idea may be formed by the fact
that a few years ago Mr. Astor paid a
tax of 540,000. This year his tax is
$240,000, a sum equal to 5700 per day,
while Commodore Vanderbilt only pays
$40,000, which is little more than 5100
per day.
It is getting to bo the opinion of even
the rankest-of Radical Senators, that
Ren Butler is a beast. The manner in
which lie harangues would lower the
dignity of any assemblage—even a Five
Points police court.
A Washington despatch says “it is
asserted by friends of General Butler
that he proposes to prefer charges
against Judge Chase for alleged assump
tion of powers that do not pertain to
the oflU-o of Chief Justice.” Bah!

Whilst the Radical leaders are doing
everything to make the way to the polls
easy and pleasant for the negroes, they
are leaving nothing undone to make the
same path difllcult and costly for poor
white men.
Jn tjio Southern States the Radical
loaders invite and persuade the blacks to
register as voters, giving them plenty of
time and affording them every facility.—
Further than this, they rectify all the
negroes’ - blunders, allowing nothing to
stand in the way of a free exercise of the
suffrage. If employers do not allow the
darkles time to go and get registered ; to
attend Radical meetings and to vote ; or
if they refuse to cay tile nigs for the time
lost in attending to such “ political du
ties,” the Bureau and Satrapcy officials
immediately tike measures to punish
those contumacious whites. When elec
tion time comes, two, three, four and five
days are granted Messrs. Charcoal «fc (Jo.,
to exerci.-e the fight of “suflij;” but,
should the “coming man” feel disin
clined to put himself to the trouble of go
ing to the pollsjuat then—in fact, should
he feel a little enuuied, or through the
influences of o too genial sun, prefer lo
enjoy his dolcc Jar niente— the “ recon
struelors” of this “gallorious Yunion”
kindly make an extension of the election
for an many days as are necessary lo suit
the wishes" and convenience of “ouah
cullud hreetherln.” Such was the course
pursued* in ail the negro-dominated
States. In Arkansas seventeen days were
required to suit their wishes and conve
niences.
On the other hand, a law has just been
passed by the Radicals of tl e Pennsylva
nia Legislature and signed hy the Radi
cal Governor, which Hedges the way of
the poor white working man to the polls
with difficulties ami expense, liy tills
hill the Radical leaders compel every
poor working man to lose time, and con
sequently money, to get himself register
ed, because the hill requires that the
board of registration shall sit only during
hours when laborers and mechanics are
engaged In toll. Ry t lie same bill natu
ralized citizens are compelled to-nof only
lose time and money to get registered,
but each one is also required to bring a
friend to make affidavit to the truth of
hi< '■'(•dements. Resides this they aie re
qnned to hunt up every fact and clrcum
stance relating to the naturalization pa
p*-t> upon which they have honestly vot
ed for \ ears. A tier all this loss of time and
expense, they may still be challenged at
the polls and compelled to reproduce
their proofs and any others that may be
demanded by a captious opponent or
board of election. Then, again, the bill
requires that all elections shall be held
during ordinary working hours, so that
laboring men are compelled to lose more
time, and consequently mom s, in order
to cast their ballots.
Why this difference of method between
Pennsylvania and the {Southern Slates?
Simply because in Pennsylvania the
white working masses'vole against the
destructive policy of Radicalism, where
as in the South the ignorant blacks are
held by and voted as machines in the
interest ol the Radical leaders. We ask
the industrious and worthy working
men of Pennsylvania to look upon these
two pictures and determine for them
selves whether they have been treated
honestly, justly and as white men should
be treated in thematterofpolitical rights.

Washington, D. c., April 18, 1803.
The impeachment trial “drags Its slow
length along,” and Senators and specta
tors are becoming terribly tired of it.—
The case of the managers, which was bad
enough when they closed, seems to be
growing hopeless day by day. It is oven
rumored that some of the managers in
tend withdrawing from the case, having
become completely disgusted with But
ler’s management of the* cose, and the
ridiculous position in which lie places
them. The aforesaid “Beast” has re?
ceived, during the week, several merited
and stinging rebukes from the Chief Jus
tice, the Senate and the President's coun
sel ; nearly all his positions have been
overruled, he has raved and roared “ like
a mad bull in a china simp,” but all to
no purpose. The bragand bluster which
carry a poflee court before it, fails impo
tent at the feet of the high court of im
peachment. The Chief Justice and the
Senate won’t he bullied, and hence tpo
fury of Butler and the impotent rage of
old Stevens. On Thursday Butler in-,
dulged in a violent harangue, of half an
hour, pitching into President Johnson,
the “Ku-Klux-Klan” and the Secretary
of the Treasury promiscuously. Mr. Ev
arts replied in a scathing rebuke, which
was like pouring aqua fortiaon thenaked
fle.-di: and on Friday, by an almost unani
mous vote, the Senate resolved to ex
punge that portion of Butler’s speech
from the record. Any man, with ordi
nary sense of shame, would have sunk
under such a castigation, but But'er
seemed to be as impudent ami indecent
ns ever.
The testimony submitted on behalf of
the President during the week, has been
to the following effect: Major General
Sherman; Messrs. Merrick and Cox, at
torneys at Law in Washington, Secre
tory Welles, Hou. E. O. Perrin, of New
York and others, testified ns to the de
clared object of the President, at the time
he appointed General 1 booms Secretary
of War ad interim, and removed Stanton.
He explicitly disavowed nil intention to
use force, and expressly directed the Attor
ney General, and also employed Messrs
Merrick and Cox, to bring the matter at
once before the courts. This design of the
President, as [every intelligent man
knows, was defeated first by the action
of the District court in refusing to hold
General Thomas In arrest and have the
case go uplo I lie Supreme court ou a. habe
as corpus, which was actually applied for
by the President’s counsel; and in the
second place by the action of the House
of Representatives which preferred ar
ticles of impeachment the next day, so
that nothing the President could have
done after that would have availed any
thing. A large quantity of documentary
evidence was also submitted, showing
that the course pursued by the President,
in the removal of Stanton, was in accord
ance with the practice of the executive
department for eighty years. Secretary
Wells also testified that he hud informed'
the President of certain movements of
troops in the District of Columbia, which
he supposed to be at the instance of the
Secretary of War, without the knowledge
of the President, and that this Informa
tion was the reason for the interview
with General Emory, out of which the
managers attempted to make so much
capital. Ju the opinion of the best law
yers here ou both sides politically, the
charge of criminal intent has been tom
out by the roots; and with that gone, the
case falls to the ground. At any rate it
may be safely asserted that a verdict of
guilty is not as confidently expected by
the Radicals as it was two" weeks ago.
Notwithstanding Forney-appeals and
Greeley advises^notwithstanding Grant
“feels that national security demands
the removal of the President,” the Sen
ate begins to feel that its doom is sealed
if it raises its hands against the power
that created it; it feels that, as much us
a forgiving people have borne, they will
not overlook the perpetration of this
great crime against the Constitution. The
Intelligencer warns them to beware
whither they are drifting, in the follow
ing eloquent paragraph : “Run down
the Constitution by tiie rattle of musket
ry, and drown all remonstrances if
you will, by the mar of artillery. ‘ The
blood of the martyr is the seed of the
church.’ Goon with your work of an
archy. Sow the whirlwind, and you
shall reap the storm. Whom you strike
down shall rise again, as infantry and
artillery shall oppress and rouse the peo
ple lo vindicate tljelr rights. Let us be
understood—call the roll ofSenators read
Uie evidence; blush at its paucity’* see
how it is gotten up, not to prove crime
but to aflord an excuse for the commis
sion of a gross act of usurpation, to ac
complish a criminal political end. Who
is for it, and who is against it? The fu
ture calls for the record aud the roll. The
future calls for the yeas aud nays We
would never condemn an error of iud"-
n J** I J t V° u r Punish a mistake ; butthecrime
of deliberate treason against the Consti
tution and laws by those charged with
high public trusts, when sitting as a sol
emn court, at the great crisis of the na
tion, is committed before the open eves of
retributive justice” 0
The “ Ku-Klux-Klan” can’t bo snob a

which is the best advice he ever received
and is a better sermon than | m jf the

Poor Forney, who, as clerk of tlie court
lias been violating all ollicial propriety
ami railing against tile accused, in bis
two papers botli daily,” seems likely to
get into trouble, 'file following proceed
ings occurred in the Semite on Wediica-
Mr. Cameron (Rep.) Referred to tlie
liftin'mu'V°J' Sin rel V tion t° a deficiency
of SIO.OOI) between tlie accounts of the
Secretary and his financial clerk, and to
some (hihculty between tlie Secretary ami
tlie Sergeant-at-Arms, and thought tlie
whole matter should ho examined, ami
tlie Secretary’s method of keeping his
accounts explained.
Mr. Cameron was opposed to placing
any more money in the hands of tlie Sec
retary until this matter was cleared up
Mr. Cameron insisted that the whole
matter should be investigated. He still
had confidence in tlie statements of Mr.
Wagner, who bud always borne a spotless
reputation.
Mr. Cameron moved that the commit
tee on Contingent Expenses be directed
to inquire into ami report upon the con
dition of the account of the Secretary of
the Senate.
Mr. Buckalew said that while the ac
counts of their Secretary were being in
quired into, he would suggest to his col
league to include in Ilia motion thpiiiqnir
ing into the conduct of the Secretary as
clerk of tlie court of impeachment, in
daily commenting, in the journals un
der his control, on the case.
Mr. Cameron said he would stick to
his original motion now, butafter awhile
he would go with his collegue upon the
other point.
The motion was then adopted.'
By the way, what a pretty set of fel
lows these Radical impenc-hers are. Fni
ney’s rascality is universally known ami
admitted, A Republican paper, of last
week, made the charge that “Senator
Yates lias been making an exhibition of
himself, in the hotels mid other public
places, in a beastly state ofintoxication
and concludes “There is nothing left for
Senator Yates but to resign. If lie bus
not manhood enougli to do so, it is the
duty of every Republican journal in his
State to demand of him to give up the
position he dishonors.” Then there are
Bingham, Butler, Logan and Stevens.—
Butler accuses Bingham ol hanging an
innocent woman. Bingham accuses But
ler of stealing spoons. Logan in accused
of having encouraged the secessionists to
rebel, aud of having induced men to en-
list in the rebel armies lu the early stages
of (be rebellion. He is also accused as
acting as counsel for parties who have
practiced enormous swindles upon tiie
Government. Btevens was the moving
spirit in the treasonable and revolution
ary proceedings in Pennsylvania, thirty
years ago, which occasioned the “ Buck
shot war.” He is also gvdlly, by his
own confession, of violating his oath to
support the Constitution of the United
States. Such men are fitting instru
ments to prosecute the impeachment
mock trial. Let tiie people of tiie country
judge between them and Andrew John

Ai'Uib—Thefollowing timely remarks
regarding labors usually to be performed
Hi this season of the year, ue clip from
that ably conducted journal, the Amcri •
can Agriculturist:
April is one of the most indefinite
months; March weak holds on into it,
even though May weather prevails. Be
sides, there is almost always a great deal
of work which in opportune ruins will
poatyone and again postpone, qiftlb into
next month. Thefts should be ah early
division of work, thus:—dry soil work,
rainy day work, and work for fair days
when the soil is wet; this makes three
good divisions. Nothing should Inter"
rupt the work in the Hold and garden
I while the soil is in good condition for
i working*. With proper diligence all that
needs to be done indoors, or can bo done
on-rainy days, or while, the soil Is too
moist to work, may be done without in
fringing upon the good days for field
work. ! f plans are not well matured for
the summer campaign lose no time be
fore forming them.
If there are seeds to buy tool- to provide,
or anything of that kind to do, delay not.
If we begin the season with good “ help,”
good teams, good tools, good seeds, all
the manure we can get, and the best
plans we can make, after doing all wo
possibly can we may reply on Providence
for sunshine and showers and fruitful
seasons. Last year, amid the parched
acres of the Interior, the fields of those
whose drainage and deep tillage had been
thorough, showed for miles as green
oases on a barren desert, and at the East,
where all was so wet, it was updrained
fields and those of shallow soils that uni
formly produced the poor crops.
Who Uiti.es. —Fashion rules the world,
and a moat tyrannical mistress she is—
compelling the people to submit lo the
most inconvenient things imaginable for
her sake. She pinches our feet with
tiff lit slices, or chokes us with tight neck
erchief, or squeezes the breath out of our
body witii tight lacing. She makes peo
ple sit up by night, when they ought to
be in bed ; and keeps them in bed in the
morning, when they ought to he up and
lining. She makes it vulgar hi wait upon
oue’s self, genteel to lie idle and useless.
She makes people visit when they had
lathin' stay at home, eal when they are
not hungry, and drink when they arc not
thirsty. She invades our pleasures ami
intercepts our business. She compels
people to dress gaily, whether upon their
own property or that of .others, whether
agreeable to the Word of God or the dic
tates of pride. She ruins health, and
produces sickness, she destroys life ami
occasions premature death. She makes
fools of parents, invalids of children, and
servants of all. She is a tormentor of
conscience, a’despoilcr of morality, and an
enemy of religion, and no one can be her
companion and enjoy either. She is a
despot of the highest grade, full of in
trigue ami cunning, and yet husbands,
wives, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters)
and servants, white and black, have vol
untarily become her obedient servants
and slaves, and vie with one another to
see wlu> shall be the most obsequious.
A Goon Law.—The hili recently pass
ed by our Legislature, and.known as the
Mortgage act, has received the approval
of tile Governor and is now a law. It
exempts mortgages and Judgments, in
a number of counties (including Cum
berland) from local taxation. In conse
quence of the heavy local taxes it has be
come almost impossible to borrow mon_
ey on bond and mortgage security. The
taxes eat up all the interest, and people
could do much better by investing their
money in bonds, stocks and other secu
rities. It was contended in the Legisla
ture that if money loaned out on a mort
gage security was exempt from local tax
es, capitalists would be more willing to
loan their money to men of moderate
means who would build houses, and thus
encourage the growth of all our towns,
give employment to mechanics, help
business, bring down rents, &c. Wo
consider .tlie law a very good one. It
will be the means of assisting men of
slender fortunes to secure themselves a
home of their own.
Locust \ ear. The scventeen-ycar
Locusts advertised to appear this year, are
not identical with the Egyptian locusts —
in fact they are not locusts at all, but
simply a sort of grasshopper. They have
no jaws like the locust, and during their
Brief winged state, devour nothing. The
only injury they do is to the young twigs
of trees, which the female stings in order
to insert her eggs. The twigs die and
full to the ground. When hatched from
the egg the grub burrows in the earth
and spends the long underground life iu
sucking roots aud passing through the
various stages necessary to perfect the
Hying machinery. At “sweet seven
teen” it emerges into society, splits its
underground shell along the back and
steps out, ready to lay eggs, or, if of the
opposite gender, to beat bis drum for a
few weeks iu the sunshine. When the
eggs are laid and the song sung, death
closes the scene.
Good Soap.—lf any of our friends are
in want of an excellent article of Soap,
we would recommend the “Refined Oil
Soap,” manufactured by B. H. Walker,
of Carlisle Springs. We have every as
surance that it is manufactured from ma
terials of the very b.at quality, aud to
those who gave it a trial it will recom
mend itself. Merchants will find a ready
sale for it, wherever it is introduced.
S. A. Stoner, of Middle Spring, writes to
the manufacturer: “X’ieuse send one box
of your Oil Soap. Your last box I sold
very readily. It selis belter than any
soup I can get. I am entirely out, and
have: many calls for it.” To accommo
date the growing demands of the trade,
Mr. Walker Ims increased his facilities
for manufacturing, and can fill orders
from merchants on short notice. Wo
feel satisfied that its introduction into
any community will command for it a
permanent sale.

Tuesday last.— Oeilysburp &/ar.
I'Tue.— On Thursday morning lam,
obeut half-past four o'clock, the stable
belonging to the property of Wm. Blair,
on South Hanover Street, in this place,
was discovered to he on fire. It was a
frame building, and was rapidly con
sumed. It was used as a sort of store
house for old boxes and barrels, and con
tained nothing of much value. The fire
was undoubtedly the work of an incen
diary, and a reward has been offered for

bo lawful for any person or persons to
build, extend or place any fish-basket,
fish-trap, or other device, permanent or
temporary, in the nature of a fish-basket
or trap, across any place in the Susque

failed to pay their annual taxes on the
days previously’ appointed, can pay tire
same and save the penalty, which will
be added by law after that date. All in
arrears would do well to remember the
day and save additional expense and
trouble.
A Good Work.—We have received a

and accomplished officer, Col. W. W. H.
Davis, editor of the Doylestown Demo

and has given a complete history of this
regiment from its organization to

It is also neatly published, and reflects
great credit upon author aud publisher.
The Susquehanna.—The snows mid
rains of the past few days have made a
considerable rise in the Susquehanna,
which is now iu good rafting condition,
and the lumbermen will be soon bringing
their stock into market. The ducks are
now very plentiful, aud flocks of them
may bo seen swimming about and flying
