RADICAL EXTBATASAirt
A AmAmFnS Burma In Pen My 1 yarn l»-
We notice that the Committee of
Ways and Means ;state Legislature,)
has reported the appropriation bill for
1569. It is a monster, and contains ap
propriations for almost every conceiva
ble object, A great many new offices
have been created since the Radical -
Jacobins captured this good old State,
all of which require snug salaries. We
have now a 11 Paymaster General,” an
Assistant State Librarian,” a “ State
Historian,” two Historian’s Clerks,”
” Chaplain of Senate," “ Chaplain of
Hr.use,” “Librarian of Senate,” two
'■ Assistant Librarians of Senate,” three
“ Librarians for House,” “ Marshal of
Rotunda,” three” Postmasters,”“Kee
ner of Water Closets,” 4c., all new offi
cers, which were never considered nec
essary until our “foil” patriot*got into
power. Then again, the salaries of offi
cers of the Commonwealth have been
doubled, and some or them trebled.—
Senators and members now receive for
theses-ion 'three months, 1 $l,OOO each,
and stealings amounting totwoor three
thousand dollars more. When the
is-mocrats were in power, the pay of a !
member of the Legislature was 1300, (
and no stealings. The Governor’s sal-
i, now $5,000 per annum, with a
|oo,oui> resilience furnished <ytd found ;
formerly his sa l ary was $3,000, and the
Governor had to find his own residence.
The Secretary of Slate receives $3,500
per annum ; formerly he received $2,000.
The Deputy Secretary receives $2,500;
formerly, $1,500. To the Superintend
ent of Public Grounds (the man who
cuts the grass on State House Hill, ties
up the little trees, Ac.,) 515,875 is appro
priated ; formerly about $l,OOO was the
-urn named for this officer. For Legis
lative expenses $220,000 is appropria
ted ; formerly some sso,noo wus the
■.•. mount named for Legislative expeu
s-. The Adjutant General's Depart
ment receives an appropriation of SG,-
oi hi ; formerly about 6500 was considered
ample for this department. The Altor- 1
uey General now receives S2,!«K); for
merly lie received nothing in ‘■alary,
hut made money from the lees lie re
ceived in Commonwealth eases, and
these fees he still receives. But,enough.
Wc need not continue the comparison
'between the present office-holders at
Harrisburg and those who held the
same positions a few years since. Suf
fice it to say—to run the Stat Govern
ment under Radical rnlecosls justabout
four times more than it did when the
Democrats were in power. This is a
fact susceptible of proof pud cannot be
denied.
But, there is one item in this Apprn
pr'mtion bill that attracted our particu-
lar attention. It is tl e item of $lO,OOO
appropriated to the -‘Lincoln Colored
Institute.” We did not know until now
that we had a little Freedmen’s Bureau
in Pennsylvania. But that we have
one is beyond question. It is located,
we believe, away up among the h.lla,
in Morrow B. Lowry’s district, and re
ceives that Senator’s special attention.
Lowry is the gentleman who, after the
old thief, murderer and rebel, John
Brown, was hanged, wanted his body,
so that he might plant it in his garden
and erect a monument over it. But,'
we are digressing; it is this appropria
tion to our little Freedmen’s Bureau
we desire to call attention to.
The “ Lincoln Colored Institute” is(s
school, where little niggers are to be
educated and found, at the expense of
the public treasury '. Where the Legis
lature gets its authority for this stretch
of power, we know hot. The fact is, it
has no power, no authority to appro
priate a dollar of the lunds of the peo
ple to objects like this. To charitable
institutions—the Deaf and Dumb Asy
lum, the Blind Institute, the Lunatic
Hospitals, the House of Refuge, the
Soldiers' Orphans’ Schools, Ac.,—it is
eminently proper for the State to lend
its fostering care; but we protest against
schooling and clothing negro children
or even white children at private insti
tutions, at the expense of the public
treasury. The people are heavily taxed
for school purposes; the State itself
gives $500,000 to the Common School
fund. The schools are open toall, black
as well as white children. Are our
Common -chools not good enough for
negro children? Must we keep up
Common Schools for white children and
(,’olh-ges for negro children f What
does all this mean 1 Has the “ Christian
soldier, Gen. Howard,” chief of the
f’reedmcn’s Bureau, established a
branch of his Bureau in Pennsylvania,
to be carried on at the expense of our
people? It seems so. Perhaps in a
year or two we may have a “ Lincoln
Colored Institute” in every county of
our State. If the Legislature can es
tablish and endow one negro school, it
can establish ami endow a hundred.—
W hat are we coming to 1
tiff- The time-honored Democratic
doctrine of States’ Bights is looking up,
ci cn amongst the adherents of Radical
ism. Senator Sherman’s gigantic rail
road bill now before Congress, which
proposes to authorize the construction
of half a dozen linesof railroad to radi
ate from Washington city, has suddenly
opened (he eyes of many citizens, and
especially of railroad men, to the dan
gi r of permitting Congress to legislate
upon subjects, which under our system
of government, should belong exclu
sively to the several States. A circular
has recently been issued, signed by the
Presidents of nearly all the leading
railrondS in the North, asking thejn
tercession of their friends to prevent
the passage of Sherman’s bill.
Before Abolitionism and New Eng
land “ loilty” gained away in the coun
try,, the people were at peace, were
prosperous and happy; Gold, silver,
■< stable, convertible bank notes were
irreney. and a dollar meant 100
Then fite dollars bought what
takes fifteen dollars to buy in
y worthless and hard to get.
08. ttrOD FIltlOXEa
A telegram to the associated press, da
ted Washington, Feb. 11, says:
'•The pardon of JDr. Stadd To sighed by the
President to-dsr.Ahd sent to the Hist* Depart
ment, where it will receive the signature of the
Secretary of state and aeal of the United States,
and then be sent to thn commanding officer at
the Dry Tortngms. where it will arrive about the
m'ddleof next week, and Dr. Mndd will be liber
ated. The pardon is accom*-anled by a report of
the Attorney General, made by direction of the
President, embracing the history and point of
the.case, and reciting the varlona consideration*,
moving the Execmire to grant the same, which
are chiefly that there now appears to be some
doobl as to the complicity of the said Slndd with
the conspiracy, he only rendering sld by sltend-
Ing to the wooDds of the chief conspirator; that
the medical profession of Hartford si .only. Md.
have satisfactorily shown that It was the profes
sions! duty of said lladd, ms a physician., to at
tend Booth, when called upon. And further, he
was very attentive to the sick at the Dry Torto-
Kt during the prevalence of yellow fever there
t srimmer, saving the Uvea of many officers
and soldiers, besides that of the wile of Surgeon
Joseph Smith, United States Army, who himself
died id the lever, it Amber states thsl his par
don has been recommended tty thirty-nine sen
ators and members of Congress, and over thrse
hundred officers and soldiers at the DxyTbrtn
! gam, and others.
What a commentary is this upon the
action of the illegal military coart that
tried and convicted Dr. Mudd and sen
tenced him to the Dry Tortngas for life!
It seems that there are “ some doubts
as to the complicity of the said Mndd
with the conspiracy.” Ah! why was
it that these “ doubts” were disregard
ed by his persecutors who tried him?—
It will be remembered that the so-cai led
“ coart” was divided as to the sentence
that should be pronounced against the
doctor, nearly one-half of said “ court”
being in favor of hanging him. His
sentence to the Dry Tortngas for life
was a compromise. Many of the men
who then clamored for Dr. Mudd’s
blood, (Senators, members of Congress
and others,) are among those who signed
the petition to the President beseech
ing him to pardon him, and in their
petition they give it as their canflid
opinion that Dr. Mudd ia an innocent
man! Even Stanton, we see it slated,
who almost quarreled with hi- packed
military court for not hanging Dr.
Mndd, is one of the signers to the peti
tion asking for his pardon! The con
sciences of even hardened men some
times lash them into repentance.
Dr. Mndd was an innocent man. fie
bad no more hand in the assassination
of Lincoln than the “ roan in the moon.”
Booth’ and no one else, perpetrated the
great crime, and Booth wasdrnnk at the
timehecomniitted it. After firing the fa
tal shot. Booth jumped to thostageofthe
theatre, and in doing so broke his leg.
Notwithstanding his crippled condition,
he rushed out of the theatre, mounted
his horse and escaped from the city.—
The first stop he made was in Prince
George county, Md., when he inquired
for a physician. Dr. Mudd’a residence
being near at hand, he was directed to
it. It was midnight. Dr. Mudd was
in bed asleep when Booth arrived at his
house. He got up, dressed Booth’s
j wound, gave him a crutch, received his
professional fee, and that was ail he had
to do with his unknown patient. He
had not heard of the murder of the
President. And yet for setting Booth’s
shattered limb, (an act of humanity,)
he was sentenced to the Dry Tortngas
for life, and had one more member ol
the court favored it, he would have
been sentenced to death, just as Mrs;
Surratt was!
It may well be asked—why was it
that Stanton, Halleck and their fellow
murderers, the members of the military
court, were so ravenous for blood?
Oort only knows! They had made up
their minds, it seems, to hang some
body, and they appeared careless as to
who that somebody was. blood they
wanted, and they got it—innocent
blood—the blood of a woman, (Mrs.
Surratt.") Three men were executed
with Mrs. Surratt, and it is now believ
ed by nearly everybody that they had
nothing to do with the murder. That
some of them were in the plot with
Booth to abduct President Lincoln and
to carry him, safe and sound, to Rich
mond, is admitted by all; but that they
connived at or assisted in the murder.
was never proved, and is not believed
by any one who read the evidence at
their mock trial. The murder was the
act of one men, and that man was J.
Wilkes Booth, who was insane from
the effects of liquor. For Booth’s act
three men and one woman were hang
ed, and four others (Dr. Mudd being
one of them 1 were sent to that “ slough
of despond,” that place of death, the
Dry Tortugas. For months, too, the
Radical hell hounds were on the track
of Mrs. Surratt’s son, (John H. Surratt.)
Had they caught him at that time, of
course he would have been hanged with
his mother. At last John H was found
in Egypt. A “ loyal” fellow received
$OO,OOO for scenting him nut. After
loading him with chains, he was brought
back to this country in a mah-of war.—
By this time, however, Mr. Stanton
and his packed military courts had
been discarded, and John H. Surratt
was tried before a civil court, and pro
nounced innocent by a jury of twelve
sworn men. Fortunate for him was it
that he .was not tried by the same infa
mous and illegal military commission
that sent his Innocent mother to the
gallows.
We rejoice that Dr. Mudd has been
released. He is a high toned gentle
man and eminent physician and sur
geon. Why the Radicals desired his
b'ood is a mystery to all. Why they
murdered Mrs. Surratt—for even Ben
Butler has said that 11 when, Mrs. Sur
ratt was hanged, a murder wia commit
ted”— Is another mystery which may
never be revealed In this world, The
blood of that woman is upon the heads
of the villains who strangled her to
death, and they will answer for the
crime before a just God.
W&- Gen. Custer has thrashed the In
dians into something like discipline,
and they promise better behavior in fu
ture. They are to be collected at Fort
Cobb, where Gen. Sheridan will select
and punish the ringleaders of the late
depredating bands, and pardon the re
mainder. If he had the power to pun
ish a few of the rascally whites at Wash
ington and elsewhere, who are always
inciting the savages to acts of violence
for the purpose of making money by
army contracts, there might be some
prospect of a permanent peace; but
while there are so many greedy Radi
cals needing alms, another Indian war
may be expected, as usual, within a
few years.
f&* The Harrisburg Stale Guard
(Radical,) calls Impartial suffrage “ the
true issue.” Before the Presidential
election, very few Radical papers would
admit that their party was in favor of
negro suffrage. Indeed many of them
denied the charge, and many fools in
their party believed them. Now, they
all admit it, and the people have their
eyes open—when it is too late I 1

Speaking of the vote in the U. 8. Sen-"
ate on the* proposed Constitutional
Amendment, granting to the negroes'
of all the States the right of suffrage,
Forney’s Prets of the lOtb inst., says:
Of the sixteen voting no. four only are recog
nized Itepublicaus. TheSoulhernSenalorsstood
solijlv in the Kepublican tanks and voted ave.’
Who are these ‘‘ soil!liern Senators,”
so-called? Warner and Spencer are
the “ Senators” from Alabama—both
carpet-baggers. The first is an ex-ar
my officer from Ohio; the latter is a
New Yorker.
Arkansas is represented, or, we should
say, mis-represen ted in the Senate by
two carpet-baggers named M’Donald
and Rice. The first is a Pennsylva
nian, (a little school teacher from one
of our rural districts;) the latter is a
New Yorker, an ex-army officer, who
never was with his regiment when live
rebels were about.
Two fellows named Welsh and Os
born squat like toads in seats once occu
pied by honorable men from Florida. —
Welsh is a slab-sided Yankee from Con
necticut, an ex-army officer, who was
never heard of during the war; Osborn
is from New Jersey, and was an attache
of that saintly institution, the Freed
men’s Bureau, at the time he was elec
ted to a seat in the Senate.
From Louisiana we have Harris of
New York, and Kellogg, of Vermont.
The first is a “ rough” from Nety York
city; the latter was an officer in our ar
my, end performed valiant services
about the Quartermaster’s Department
for several years. He has been promo
ted for “ meritorious services!”
Abbott of New Hampshire, (an ex
officer of the Freedrnen’s Bureau,) and
Pool, who appears to have no nativity,
are the “ Senators” from down-trodden
North Carolina. Both carpet-baggers.
South Carolina, another State under
the iron heel of a Jacobin despotism,
has as her “ Senators" Kobertsou, who
was born in South Carolina, but never
lived there, and Sawyer of Massachu
setts, a teacher of iitt.e velvet heads
about the Freedmen’s Bureau. They
are both very common men, but fair
representatives of the “ progressive par
ty.”
The “ Senators” of the bastard State
West Virginia, are Willey and Van
Winkle. The first is a native Virgin
ian, but was educated at a college in
New England, and imbibed Yankee no
tions ; the latter is a New Yorker—an
unadulterated carpet-bagger.
These are the “Southern Senators”
then, who, according to Forney’s Press,
“ stood solidly in the Republican ranks
and voted aye,” when that measure of
infamy and outrage, the proposed Con
stitutional amendment, was carried in
tneSenate. Ofcourse! Theseso-called
Senators—these shameless pilferers of
seats to which they have no right and
no claim—these sniffling carpet-baggers
who were “ small fry” and occupied no
position in their native States —fit
creatures to do the dirty work of Sum
ner and other Yankee conspirators.
These carpet-baggers do not pretend
to represent the States to which they
are accredited as Senators. They are
Northern nien—most of them Jacobins,
infidels and wooden-nutmeg venders
from our New England Slates; really,
some of them are vagabonds. The very
fact that they occupy seats, draw pay,
and are accredited us “ Senators” from
States whose people despise and loathe
them, is evidence of their want of hon
or and honesty.
“ Southern Senators,’’ Indeed! What
mockery 1 The business of these “ Sen
ators” is to vote against every measure
calculated to benefit the South. Of all
the enemies of the South, these fraudu
lent 11 Southern Senators” that Forney
eulogises, arethe most remorseless and
vindictive. It is their interest to keep
the South in constant anxiety and
doubt, to engender ill-will between the
whites and the negroes, and, ns far as
{hey can, to gratify Chandler's desire
to see “ hell upon earlh in the Southern
States.” Let peace and quiet be estab
lished in those persecuted States—let a
good feeling exist between the races—
let the white men who own the South
be permitted to govern it as they should,
and these carpet-bag “ Southern Sena
tors” would Boon go home to.their fam
ilies in Massachusetts, Vermont, and
the other Northern States where they
belong. They would have no desire
then to show their faces South. Their
occupation would be gone, and they
would be compelled to return to their
former occupations of peddling wooden
nutmegs and teaching negro schools.—
If there are any who deserve the
scorn of honorable men, these “ South
ern Senators”—the-e carpet-baggers and
scallawags—are the very chaps to re
ceive it in its, bitterest application,—
“ Southern Senators!” Bah 1
Gold in’ 1862 and 1868.—Here is on«
happy result of the misruleof this coun
try. Ever since the end of the war, by
the Radical majority in Congress, the
average price of gold at the close of the
fourth year of peace is higher than the
average price of gold at the close of the
second year of the war. During the
month of December, 1862, which was
one of the very darkest periods of the
great civil conflict, when the victor of
Antietam bad been removed to make
way for the vanquished of Fredericks
burg, and the civilized world was near
ly unanimous in expecting the final
disruption of the Union, the price of
gold ranged from 128 J to 134. During
the month of December, 1868, after the
complete triumph of the Radicals, the
election of Grant and the success of the
“ Reconstruction” policy, the price of
gold ranged from 131 J to 1362—its high
est rate being more than two per cent.,,
its lowest nearly six percent, above the
rates of December, 18621
Too Tough. —The story of David Sis
son, a loil treasurer of the G. A. R.’s in
Boston, to the effect that he bad been
tied and robbed of certain funds be
longing to the Qrabbers-After-Kations,
and that he had gnawed the rope, off
with his teeth, was too tough to-be
swallowed, even by the gullible Bosto
nians, Sisson is suspected of having
Butlerized the money—perhaps to pay
for champagne suppers, for which 101 l
G. A. R.’s have a weakness—and he
bos promised to refund theamount and
save trouble. David must reform, or he
may at some future time be tied fast
with a rope that he can’t gnaw off with
bis teeth, because the rope will be above
his head and the knot under his ear.

Dod FUU. the Radical correspondent
ofUhal Radical sheet, the Cincinnati
will sometimes left some
ugly troth* iu reference to Radlo&l offi
cials. He thus speaks of a certain well
known Senator:
“I look across the street and see in
front of a Senator’s house the carriage of
another, Senator. The pair of. blooded
horses cbat'enrtie thousand dollars. The
gilded harness Is in keeping- Tm
handsoroeshiultigeoach lB oneor Bren
ton's best, line! with silk velvet, and
graced with the choiseat and thickest
of plate glass. On the coachman’s seat
sat two of God's creatures, called men;
one a bright mulatto, the other a white
man, both m livery. They sit in solemn
silence, under their, gay robe of furs and
white gloves. Directly the door of the
house opens, and two laities carrying a
powr man's fortune on their back, de
scend the steps. The footman swings
down and opens the d« or, with an easy
grace the master cannot imitate. Tne
door closes with a. bang, the footman
mounts, and the coach rolls away. Well
it seems but yesterday that, the own
er of all this came here a poor man.
We remember the fairy tale where the
old w*tch touched the pumpkin and
turned into a coach, and touched the rats
and turned them into horses. And so
the ugly witch of the lobby touched the
poor man, and out of fraud came the
coach,and out of theft came the hornes,
and swindle drives, and stealings oil and
burnish. Dike that witch, X could touch
that mao with this delicate little pen of
mine, and carriage and horses, coachmnn
and footman, would all disappear. For
honesty and h« nor would claim their
own, and the very clothes would fall
from the backs of wife and daughters.”

Congress and Corruption.— lf ev
er a more corrupt body of men existed
than the present Radical "rump,” we
should like to be informed of it. Cer
tainly we are_ at fault, if history can
produce anything that can bear the
least semblance to it. Its bare-faoed,
unvarnished acts of plunder begin to
stink in the nostrils of the leading radi
cal joumalsofthecountry. Theshamc
less peculations of the treasury and the
wholesale frauds practiced by the men
who control the government, can no
longer be concealed by their friends,
.who would mould public opinion thro’
the influence of the press. The, time
was when “stealing” was done secret
ly, and the rascals took precautionary
measures to hide their crimes from the
eyes of the world. Then but few had
the boldness to venture very far in their
plundering, from the dread of exposure
and the consequent shame and punish
ment. Hut; under radical rule, the
most open-handed villainies are prac
ticed.. Officials boldly put their hands
into the public treasury and steal, not
by the thousands, but their operations
are upon a grander scale. They seem
to want:lt understood that they are
none of > Uur common 41 sneak thieves,”
but gentlemen of ttie first water, who
belong to a “ ring*” composed of men
mighty in power near the thrbne; there-'
fore, with, unblushing effrontery, they
steal by the millions. Their operations
in this direction, although known, arc
winked at by those' whose duty,'under
their oaths, it is to take cognizance of
the matter and bring them to justice.
The Book Business.— But few per
sons have any proper comprehension
of how vast is the book business in this
country. Take one 44 item,” for in*
stance, as illustrative: Matthew Hale
Smith’s and Shadow in
New York,” which is the exciting work
of the day, has already reached the
enormous sale of 25,000 copies within
thirty days. The publishers (J. B.
Burr & Co., Hartford, Conn.,) use two
tons of paper a day, and run six large
roller presses constantly to supply the
current demand. This is doing a whole
sale business with one book alone.—
This is a large work too, it. must be re
membered, between seven and. eight
hundred pages royal octavo’; andiyet it
is.said to rival ini rapidity ofßate“ Un
cle Tom’s Cabin” of old, . Think of the
countlessness of,the small ones publish

JOT Forney,'who has been recently
on a visit to the South, is now prating
about “ the healthful change in the

served, and ha now acknowledges that

Correspondence American Vuhinfe'f.
Washington, Feb. 13th, isoh.
Of all the disgraceful scenes ofwhl-h the pres
ent Congress bos been the theatre, that of Wed
nesday Inst was the most shameful and outrage
ous. It was the day Axed for counting the elec
toral votes for President and Vice President. At
the appointed hour the Senate filed Into the
House of Representatives, the floor of which, qs
well as the galleries, was already filled with a
mot.ey assembly from the four quarters of tlie
globe. So soon as the Convention was called to
order, there seemed to beadetermlnatlon on the
partofseveral leading Radical members to break
the thing lip In a row. All sorts of irrelevant .
objections were made, to delay the proceedings.
In the case of Louisiana, objection was made to
chanting the vote, on the ground that the Stale
was not properly reconstructed: hutboth Houses
decided by a large majority to count the vote.—
Then came the cose of Georgia, Ben Butler took
the floor, and read a long protest against count
ing the vote. Ben Wade decided that under the.
rule adopted ten days before, the vote should bo
counted. Bmlertookhlsplacebeforo theSpeak-'*
er’s desk, rolled up his sleeves and rived like a
mad bull, finally forcing Wade to decide that
the Senate and House should separate and
each decide the question for Itself. The Senate
decided that under the rule the vote should be
counted, and the House decided that It should
not. When the Convention reassembled. Wade
proceeded to enforce the decision of the Senate,
when Butler took the floor and appealed from
his decision; Wade declined to hear the appeal,
and than there was such a stoim as was never
witnessed In the House before. Tbe Democrats
and Senators called to order; Butler,Schenck
and a dozen others denounced Wade, and refused ■
to take their r-eats. The audience in Utegaller
rlcs and on thefloor Joined In the general clamor. l
Butler declared that the Representatives of the
people wbuld not be Imposed on by an aristocrat
ic Senate, and thegallerrles shouted •* aye! aye I”
Finally Speaker Colfax ordered the Sergeant-at
arms to arrest Bailer and several other refracto
ry* members, when quiet was restored and the
vote, Including that of Georgia.'annonnced by
the tellers. Before this point wasreached.Butler
moved that the Senate have leave to retire, and
as no ope paid any attention to this Intended m- '■
salt; he afterwards moved trial the Sergeant-at
armsremote the Senators from the floor. Tak
ing the hint, and wishing to save their credl.tho
Senators wrapped their togas about them and In- 1
dlgnantly retired. Then there was another
storm In the House. The 4 'Rads’? were divided
Into two parties,and fired hot shotlnto each other
for two mortal hours; Colfax and Butler had a
hot personal controversy. The Bouse Anally
adjourned, only to reqew the discussion on
Thursday and oh Friday, when Butler’s resolu
tion censuring the Senate, was laid on the table.
This fight has thrown the whole Radical camp
Into confusion, and there Is uo telling what good
may come to. the country from It, for "wheu /
rogues fall out, honest men get their dues.” -
Before tbe final vote was token in the Senate;-
on the proposed amendment conferring upon
Congress tht sole coutroLof tbe qualifications of
voters In all the States; sir, Bhckalew moved,
that the amendment bo submitted for ratifica
tion to the Legislatures ot the several States;
the most numerous which shall
have been hhetsen after tbe passage of tbe propo
sition by Congress; This motion was reasonable
and in tbe true spirit of tbe clause in the Con
stitution providing for Its amendment. But it
was a party vote'of 43 to 17; thus
showing tbut.the Radicals were afraid of letting
It go before .the people. So a most Important
Alteration. In our fundamental law rone that
nearly destroys the rights of the States and cen
ters an almost omnipotent authority In Con
gress. is to be noted npon In tbe Northern States
by.snoh subservient ond corrupt bodies os your
Pennsylvania Legislature and the New York
Legislature, and in tbe South by those men*
grel conclaves which burlesque Legislatures In
origin and composition.
Have those .who have hitherto reverenced the
Constitution of the United states been mistaken
nil their lives,'lit supposing ti.at.lt was a well
considered system of government, carefully
gathered by wind ond cautious statesmen from
the experience of ages? -Are the loose characters 1
thrown to the suffice by civil convalsions-a fun*
gas growth of demagogues and Ignorant oglta*
tors—proper J udgea of the merits of that system,
or fitting agents to attempt its revlsal? Should
a clause so''revolutionary m Us bearing os to
overturn the relations between the Blate* and the
federal system be submitted to such fortuitous
gathering for ratification without consulting
tho,people? What wooghtfal citizen but must.

•.: A few weeks ngo l rgavo you o brief sketch of
.the** lobby,” as .onbW the controlling forces in:
the Legislation of CougTcssfl will now try to do
Justice to another controlling Influence, the
•»carpet bagger,” who holdsln hbt hands the des
tiny of the nation. The writer who first applied
the term "carpet baggers ’ hit upon one of the
happiest descriptive epithets that has been late
ly Introduced into the Journalistic vocabulary
That Its force ns an expression of reproach and_
contempt Is keenly felt, Is shown by the earnest"
and repealed endeavors of sundry Radical pa
pers to misconstrue its meaning. The carpet
bagger Is a creature of,-the war, he was engen
dered nmld the demoralization produced by the
war, and In this respect Isnkin to the loathsome
mnirgntfl thet are*bom of corruption.. He Ims
no claim to associate himself with the North
ern men who have sought now homes m the
hope of finding Inmo or fonuno , enough through
the honest exercise of their Intelligence and en
terprise. Such men, whether bringing capital or
carrying all their worldly goods upon their
backs, have met and will still meet with a wel
come in the South, and It Is an Insult to them
and the common sense of the public to suggest
that they stand in the snipe category with the
shiny knaves and prowlers who are so aptly de
scribed as "carpet baggers.” These latter are
composed ol the unscrupulous creatures who
were residing In the South when the war broke
out, and who, havliigshouted lustily for the Con
federate cause for 3 cars, became suddenly In
tensely loyal in presencoof the Federal armies;
and of tbejacknlls who travelled from tho North
In tho wake of those armies. As a general rule,
they are people who never had much character
to of, and provided they con obtain place
ami plunder, they are Indifferent os to whfther
they succeed by falror fraudulent means. They
remain la tho South solely because loyally"
pays better there than In thoraoreorowdedmar
ket of the North* Few of them calculate resid
ing permanently in IheSouih,and many ofthtm
are oven still legal voters in the Northern or
Western Stales. They have no sympathy in
con.m<»n with tho people of the South, and are
merely so many political wreckers. 1 hose are
the people who have now crawled Into power In
th* j Southern' Stales. Tho-e are the men who,
uuder Radical policy, are to be mado the rulers
of the free white men of the North. They have
become the rulers and the' Judges over that whole
section ol the land, and they appear befo« o Con
gressional committees to Insist, In the name of
the Southern people, that the best and ablest
men ofthe while race shall still be kept distrati
chlsed.
The President lias directed the Attorney Gen
eral to pardon Dr. Mudd, who, It will bo remem
bered, was convicted by the military commis
sion In 1565, and sentenced to Imprisonment and
labor nt Dry Tortugas for life, with Arnold arid
O’Laughlln, Spangler's sentence being for the
period of six years The recommendations for
the pardon of Mudd iffe very strong, one alone
containing over fl vo hundred names, being those
of every officer and soldier on duty at Dry Tor
tugas. It is said that bis attention to the sick nt
that place daring the prevalence of yellow fever
has won for him thogratltndoof all, who ear
nestly Join in the recommendation to Executive
clemency. The cose is now before the Attorney
General, and the official pardon will bo issued
without delay., Eflorts to secure the pardon of
Spang er and Arnold are also being made. ’
Speaking of the Inaugural ball tho ‘New York
Tribune toyb: .’‘lf a black man was good enough
to vote for the Republican party th North Caro
lina, he Is good enough to attend an Inaugura
tion Ball in Washington." Here la flatly an
nounced by the highest. Radical authority, tho
claim of social equality based upon suffrage.—
One must inevitably follow the other. The IVi
bunc also says: “We venture to say General
Grant'will not decline to mingle In a public en
tertainment with men whose votes assisted dn
his election.” We shall see. Atanyhvte tho re
volting demand Is uublushlngly made. • All
who arc opposed to the commingling of, repug
nant elements, to fusing copper with gold, ,to
mixing buzzards with eagles, and to confound
ing all the laws of the Creator for tho separation
of races,will observe this disgusting notlcojof
.the rn&tme, and govern themselves accordingly,
Tho canvass for offices of the next Congress is
becoming very active. One of the Washburn’s
seeks to bo a doorkeeper Ju the house of sin—
canvassing. In fact; to be Sergeant-at-arros of
that body wherein he now pits. Furthermore,
Fphrlnm Eckley, having been galloped out;of.
the Seventeenth Ohio District by one Ambler,
seeks to be Clerk of the House At this rate, wo
shall h *ve broken down Radical Representatives

It Is propbsed to purchase a lot, on(trai|e
a neat little Chapel, adapted to tbiaCbria
tian enterprise expressly. Already bos'
the ground been selected ; and it is pro-.,
fnsed that the work go forward at once,
t is this that appeals to our Christian beJ
nevolence. It ia due to Ibis portion of.
tlie town, that they should fee) that they.,
have a place or their own for religious
purposes, adapted to their own peculiar
wants, and in their own immediate lo
cality. It ia due to tbe people of the'
Christian'Churches of Carlisle that this
should be so. It is due to the Lord Jb
sUß, in whose cause we serve, that-we
care thus for those for whom Christ died.
Tlie lot of ground had under considera
tion is located nil tlie corner of North and 1
Fast streets. The building will be about
30x40 feet; and when finished ready toe
occupancy, to cost, together with the
ground, about ($1500) fifteen hundred'

opened. Generous names are found there,
and tbe contributions subscribed amount
already to about ($650,) six hundred and
filty dollars. This is noble. Carlisle has
never failed to evince sympathy and '
benevolence toward ibis simnle but ear
nest enterprise. Let this claim come to"
your beans once more. The readiness of
our citizens to respond to this appeal
whenever presented affords tbe most
cheering assurance that this effort in be
half of our poor, will result in extraordi
nary successs

ABBEST OF iICHOEPPB FOB
On .Tliead'ay > tabming, Dr, Paul
Scboeppe was arrested, on n warrout is
sued by Justice DeHuff, upon 'informs
tion made by 'Constable Sanuo, for tlie
murder of Miss Maria M. Slemucke.-
Tbe information of tbe constable m>
based ppon The; report of tbe chemist in
Baltimore, to, the effect that he Had dis
covered , poison -in the stomach of Miv
Stennecke, which had been submitted to
idm'for;examination. Dr- Sbhoeppewas
committed to jail toawait his trial at Hit
April term of Oyer aild Terminer.
The circumstances of- this case were so
mysterious that'We forbore commenting
upon them, in justice to the parties con
cerned, until something should he defi
nitely settled by scientific or judicial in
vestigation, os we were assured would be
the case. There seems no longer any oc- '
casion forsilenpe. On the 28th of Janu
ary, Miss Marla M. Stennecke,a maiden
lady „of>eventy years of age, who tad
-resided in. Baliimore, but tad
been staying, in this place for some
months, died suddenly ot the Mansion
House, under suspicious circumstances.
During her visit, she jvas attended-by >
young Germane-physician, Dr. Paul
Scboeppe by name, who was also a com
parative stranger community. Dr.
Scboeppe was in-attendance upon Miss
Stennecke, on the evening previous to
her death,-and-onlba following morning
she was,discovered by thychamber maid,
lying.in an .Inseusibld condition, in which
she,continued ijntil the afternoon, \ci;cc
she died, 9up { qjfijur '(pfn physicians
Was'called In for consultation, but simp
iy'shook hl» hbadaudstutedthat she was
.already in'drfipulo .morlie,' and he could
do nothing for her.
After the 1 death of Miss Stennecke, »
will, beating date November 17th, 1868,
was found amongst' her papers, which
devised her property to various benevo
lent'and religious associations. When
this will was pfrered for.probato in Balti
’more; the .‘Attorney for Dr. Scboeppe of
fered another will, of later date, written
by himself, and, witnessed by hia father,
Jtev. E,. Scboeppe,. and Bimaelt, deylains
ail her property to him. The Court at
reeled atrissue to-be -joined, to teat the
validity of tbe will,And in.the mean time,
suspicion;being aroused as to. the cause of
Miss StenneokeV sudden death, an ap

to'have hcriiddy exhumed and the stem
