Eighty-six of these are jet-black negroes, and thirty eight are white carpet-baggers, most of them Massachusetts men '. Of the ne gro members but eight can read or write. The white members are also of a very low order of men, no less than four of whom have served terms in the penitentiary. How would the people of Pennsylva nia like to see their House of Repre sentatives occupied by the same class of men? How would they relish the idea of placing theinterestsof this Common wealth in the hands of ignorant negroes and white scallawags from Massachu setts? We need scarcely ask the ques tion. Before the people of Pennsylva nia would submit to such an outrage and humiliation, they would deluge the State in blood. South Carolina is a great and power ful State—one'of the original thirteen that formed the Union. Her interests are immense, and what she requires now is careful legislation and economy in the administration of her affairs.— Her Legislature should be composed of her very best men—men of experience and integrity, and who have the wel fare and honor of the State at heart.— But, owing to the” reconstruction” pol icy of the Radicals, these necessary safe guards are denied her and her interests, her honor and her, destiny are placed ip the hands of grinning negroesand vaga bond whites from the New England States. An outrage like this was never, i in the world’s history, imposed upon a i people. It deserves and will receive i the condemnation of all men of honor, North and South, be their political pre dilections what they may. No man who is not a brute and coward at heart would attempt to ruin a people and State by a Yankee device like this,— Better put the white inhabitants of South Carolina to the sword than to harrassand impoverish them with this kind of “ reconstruction” tyranny. It is not South Carolina alone that suffers from being governed by brutal blacks and debased carpet-baggers.— Nearly every Southern Slate is “ recon structed” in the same manner. 1 hey are all or nearly all in the keeping of negroes, carpet-baggers and jail birds.— Of course the people of these States are helpless, and can do nothing to develop their vast resources so long as negroes 1 and strangers are invested with the law-making power. .Nearly all the “ laws” passed by these black-an-l-tan Legislatures are drawn up at Washing ton, in the rooms of the Radical Nation al Committee! This is a well as'er tained fact. These “ laws” are framed and worded in the interest of the negro and carpet-bagger alone, and impose re strictions, fines, penalties and taxes up on the white men who own the-Stales. Under this pernicious policy, the South ern States languish and sicken. They yield but little if any revenue to the National treasury, thus making the taxes of the people of the North at least one-third greater than they would he if the people of the South were permitted to manage their own affairs. People of Pennsylvania 1 will you continue to give countenance to a party guilty of villainy like this? Can you afford to pander longer to the insane demands of Massachusetts? Oh, open your eyes, men of Pennsy I vania, and you will join us in administering a re buke to the impudent and fanatical New England Yankee. “ Let us have peace,” and let the people of each State manage their own affairs and develop their own lesources, without molesta tion, to the end that the treasury may be replenished and our national honor preserved. now south Fit* negroes make HONEY A wench in Richmond brought suit recently agains' the Richmond, Fred ericksburg ami Potomac Railroad Com pany for having refused her a seat ir the car appropriated to white holies.- The cars o( the (rain were all alike, and when Dinah presented her ticket she was requested to take a seat in the car occupied by white gentlemen and ne groes. This she refused to do, insisting that she was a lady, and would occupy the ladies car or none. The conductor paid no attention to her, and.the train started without Dinah on board. Her wounded sensibilities induced her to seek redress at once. She repaired to a magistrate’s office and brought spit for damages. The case wn- tried before that accomplished blackguard, ‘‘Judge” Underwood, at Richmond. Under wood is a long-legged carpet-bagger, and knowsas little about law as a puppy does of his ancestors. The jury was composed of six negroes and six “ loil” whites, most of them Massachusetts men. The “Judge” charged in favor of Dinah, and reminded the jurors that “ distinction of color was a relic of bar barism,” that the “ colored people must •be protected at all hazards,” &c. The jury retired, and in ten minutes return ed with a verdict awarding to Dinah $l,OOO damages! Truly the blacks are a favored race. To pick up sl,GOO,for nothing is doing right well for an impudent;wench.— Had a white woman refused to take seat pointed out to her by the conduc tor, she would have had no redress, no damages awarded her. All rail-road companies have their rules and regula tions, and these rules and regulations must he respected by white men and womfen, but not by negroes. In the name of “ John Brown’s body,” is there to be no end, no let-up to this fanaticism and villainy? It is now settled that the inaugu ration ball will goon. Grant wants the committee to give it up. The negroes claimed the right to trip their gum-elas tic heels at it,andthisthreatenedtopro duee a little unpleasantness. Sambo in a state of profuse perspiration is not an agreeable companion, but the Gen. will have to stand him. A man who lies down with dogs has no right to com plain if he ge'ts up with fleas. j®-The Hon. Asa Packer, of Penn sylvania, B. G. Clark, Esq., of New York, and a party of capitalists, are in middle Alabama buying property and arranging for the development of the resources of that magnificent region. HEN. DIcCLbLIiAN —AN AMECDOIX. “The Rt. Louis fieptiMican relates an anecdote of General McClellan, unon the authority of an officer of high rank In the regular armv. which reveals his character In Its brightest ana purest colors. ‘Oar informant.' says the Jiepubhcan, • vras with General Meridian In his parlor at Washington one evening, when Pope was falling hack In terror upon the capital,pursued by the troops of-Lee ami Jackson. There came a ring at the bell, and the servant opened the door and announced the President of the Unit.d States anti General Halleck. McClellan rose. reedved his visitors,and conducted them Into an adjoin ing apartment. They remained hut a fo - mo ments and then departed. McClellan turned to a friend and said quietly: •, I . an ' U‘ *VIV I * mnml of the army again.’ ‘General. r.-pltnUlie other. *1 hope vou have not accented It without proper guarantees,* meaning pledges that theie should he no more executive Interferenceln mil- Uarv operations. ‘Sir.’ was the response, when the President of the United suites tells me with G'ors In his eyes «hat I am the only man who can take command of the army amt save the countrv. It is no time to ask lor guarantees* At daylight the next morning th*|xenernl and nine de*camp wore In their saddles and oil for the tl e 1 a. ’■Excha npe. The above is true to the letter, Gen. McClellan having related the “ anec dote” himself, and his statement is ver ified by the “ friend” who was with him in his parlor when Lincoln and Halleck, with tears in their eyes, be seeched McClellan to save them from the clutches of Lee. The memhfers of the Lincoln administration felt in their inmost souls that McClellan was the only man capable of taking command of the grand army that had suffered de feat and become demoralized under the imbecile Pope. From the command of that army lie had been ejected by Lin coln and Stanton, and had he not been a great, good and patriotic man, he would have refused the request of the cowardly crew who had attempted to degrade him iu the eyes of the world. But, notwithstanding the bad treat ment be had received, he at once com plied with Lincoln’s request, and at day-light on the following morning he was at the head of the shattered army, and by efforts almost superhuman, soon had it re-organized and in fighting trim. What followed, we need not repeat— it is history. McClellan felt that he had a great work before him. Notwith standing the lete demoralization of his army, he had confidence in it, and as the sequel proved, that confidence was not misplaced. With this army he confronted Lee’s victorious legions, and after the most desperate fighting of the war, drove them back far into the land of Dixie. Tens of thousands of brave men on both sides fell during the des perate contests. With Lee at the head of one army and McClellan at the head of the other—both of them idolized by heir troops—the fighting for days was sanguinary and almost hand-to-hand. What other set of men outside of the Lincoln administraiion and the New England fanatics who were its advisors, would not have felt grateful to McClel lan for having saved the nation and I themselves from the calamity that had threatened both ? It would have been well for McClellan had he taken the advice of the friend in his parlor and demanded “ proper guarantees” from Lincoln before he again consented to assume command of the army that the Radical Pope had almost mined. But McClellan pitied the poor cowards of the admipistration, and he at once con seated to Lincoln’s request. The ad ministration again felt secure, the reb els had been driven off in confusion and almost annihilated ; the capital was safe, and Lincoln and Stanton and Holt ami iialleck were safe too. Then it was that Lincoln was persuaded to com mit an act which will blacken his name for all time to come. By the advice of Stanton and other traitors, Lincoln — who was a mere tool in their hands— issued an order dismissing McClellan, for the second time, from the army. This act of the administration was as wicked as it was treasonable, and the only object had in view by the treach erous rascals who advised it, was the prolongation of the war for political pnrptses. But for the treason of the men in power the war would not have 1 lasted over two years, and our Nation -1 al debt would not be over one-half what • it is. What tt Cost to Make Robinson Senator. The people of tins, the XXlst Senato rial District, says the Bellfonte Watch man, who were so infamously and out rageously treated bv the Mongrel Sen ate last winter, which denied a seat in that body to their legally elected repre sentative,and gave it to a man who had been ignominiou-ly defeated at the poll--, will not think strange that that outrage upon them and their Senator should cost the State the snug little sum of nineteen thousand and ninety-eight dollars and seventy-eight cents. From the Auditor’s Report just published, we find that the above is the sum the tax payers of the State were compelled to pay to put Patterson’s man Friday in the seat to which Mr. S. T. Shugert, of Bellfonte. had been honorably and fair ly elected. The items run as folio.vs Witnesses for Robinson Wll nesses for Shuyori G Chairman of Coin J. W Fisher. memberof Corn G. I >.

They can reflect over, these figures and calculate when the tax-gath erer comes round how well it pays them to vote with a party, 'which, when fair ly beaten, taxes them to the amount of thousands upon thousands of dollars to pay corrupt committees, perjured wit nesses, and political rats to defeat the will of the people. Balance of Power.— I The total vote of the United States for President was 5,395,250, in which Grant’s majority was 313,143. The colored votes polled in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and the Carolinas were 316,334, by which it appears that the blacks hold the bal ance of power-in the popular vote. Vigorous Economy.— -The Radical State Central Committee passed a reso lution the other day declaring in favor of “ vigorous economy.” There is need of it. Since November, 1867, the Na tional debt has increased over sixty five millions. If vigorous economy Is not speedily practiced repudiation will be inevitable. During the election the Radicals saia Grant was for peace. Now they are abusing him because they fear be is going to prove that they told the truth. Mr. Saulsbury compared the Radi cal party’tother day to a” dead skunk.” Not dead, Mr. Saulsbury, not dead, but dying. “Stealing and giving odors." IIIGULY IMPORTANT! A Great Question Settled—The Country Safe— Negroes to be ad mitted to the Inauguration Ball. —The negroes of Washington city, feel ing that they laid' not been consulted c incoming the Inaugural Ball, which is advertised to come off in the north wing of the Treasury Department on the evening ol the 4th of March, began t > e:.;..1:1.11 the idea that possibly they were to be excluded from the affair. — They therefore held a meeting and ap pointed one of their number—a black barber of Washington—to ascertain from the ball committee whether or not “ persons of color” were to be ad mitted to the ball. The negro barber at ome opened a correspondence with the chairman of the ball committee, (Mayor Bowen,) making the necessary inquiry, and reminding him at the same time that a number of colored ladies and gentlemen from New York, Phila delphia, Richmond and Washington were anxious to take part in the dance, and he demanded to know " whether any distinction on account of color is to be niado in the sale of tickets,” Ac.— Mayor Bowen (the carpet-bag Mayor of Washington city,) responded at once tihis sable correspondent. His reply reads thus; *• Mv Dear.Sir—Anv person of respectable char* after ami standing In HH« community, who ap plies ami puvs fora ticket to the inauguration hall, lobe hold In the north wingol the Treas ury Department, will not be denied admission, at least, so far ns my action is concerned. The question of color never having arisen In the com mittee, I cannot of course decide for them.” \Ve suppose the question is therefore settled—negroes will participate in the ball. A friend at Washington writes us that the ball will open with a waltz, in which Senator Sumner (white man,) and Jliss Dinah Jones (colored,! of Richmond, and Mr. Pompey Johnson (colored,) of Washington, and Mrs. Harrriet Beecher “towc ■ vhitc, will be the leading characters. After this all hands, black and white, will join in the dance, to the turn- of the '* blue tail fly," and a merry old time is expected. 'Rah fot the party of “ grand niora' ideas."

If the Radicals in the Legislature are really in favor of retrenchment and re form in public expenditures, why do they continue their extravagant disbursement of tlie public money al Harrisburg? Why did they not accept the offer of Messrs, Rauch it Cochran, of Lancaster, to do the pa-ling and lolding. for So,ooo a session, instead of about S-lo.llUO, the amount ex pended lust year? Messrs.

Our noble Andy came near being another “martyr President," the other i.lght. Early In the evening, a young woman named Annie O’- Neil, was discovered In one of the corrldois of the While House, running towards the private apartment of the President, who, when assert what she wanted there, replied, “I am sent by God Almighty to Util Andrew Johnson." Be ing taken Into custody, an old fashioned double barrelled pistol, unloaded, was found In her possession. It appears that she hud entered the White House during tho afternoon and concent od herself In the meantime. She was evidently laborin'.’ under an attack of insanity. The country has heard a great deal, since tho nomination and election of General Gram, about economizing the expenses « f the government A single glance at the appropriation bill of the present Congress will convince any lair man that all this talk s a mere screen to hide the new schemes of robbery devised by the radical lead ers. '1 he appropriations for the contingent ex penses for the two branches of Congress for the fiscal year ending June 30, I8i«, which rggregates tho enormous sum §1,207,051. Of this amount SbOO.UOO was to the House and 8573,785 to the Sen ate. These are greater amounts than In any previous year since the foundation of the gov ernment. These were only, tho contingent ex penses. In addition to these the estimated ex penses are, for tllo two Houses alone, S5,BX',- 000. This entire sum is expended upon tho members of Congress, except only about 816,0)0, which Is used for the Congiesblnnal library. Ol tills sum over $730,000 Is for the benefit of tire seventy-two Senators, or aftout 110,000 apiece.— How this amount can legitimately and honest ly be expended Is a que-stiou for the tax payer.— The Congressional printing cost over $1,400,000. The balance, 53.170.000, Is used by the House of Representatives, tho so called popular branch of the government. Thus.the public funds are mioandered'.

Ills now believed that there will bo quite as many negro wenches present as loll” ladles ns many buck niggers as buck whites—and that mm k and African scents, rose water and Da homey sweat. “ balm of a thousand flowers ’ and balm of a thousand niggers.’ —will commingle and perfume the air and fill nil space with the glorious aroma of Black Republicanism. The President Is already making preparation* to leave the White House, and Intends, shortly after ho goes out of office, to make a visit to Europe. The offer of a passage was lately made him by one of the German lines of steamers, and the offer was accepted by Mr. Johnson, at is his purpose, Immediately niter the 4th of March, to make a private visit to Tennessee, with the view of arranging his affairs, and he will sail for Europe about the Ist of April. In the meantime the municipal authorities of Bal timore and Nashville are making preparations to give him a public reception, and the members of the common council of New York proposes to ofiVr him a similar honor, should he find himself in that city, after his retirement from office. There Is another big buzz In the negro hive.— The President, the other day, vetoed the bill to place the white and colored schools of the Dis trict under the same trustees. A' i outone half of the negroes sustain the vet », whilst the other half denounce it—and there is loud squabbling among “the wards of the nation” In conse quence. Are not n fleeting white men about sick of this nigger show ? Notwithstanding Grant has publicly declared that he will not even let the leading Radicals know beforehand who are to compose bis Cabi net. Yot rumors tire plenty. The last slate is as follows: For Secretary of State. Charles Francis Adams; Secretary of the Treasury, Senator Mor ton ; Secretary of War, John M. Schofield; Sec retary of the Navy, D. D. Porter; Secretary of the Interior, Benjamin F. Wade; Attorney Gen eral, Wm. M. Everts; Postmaster General,Jas. F. W llaon, of lowa.

Caucasian. 31 o c a I i t c m s Make a Noth Of It—The fashion of wearing high-heeled shoes is condemned by physiologists : a« productiveofcrooked shins, lompus limbs, and a cramped un graceful gait. Who Shall Affix the Stamp? Our Supreme Court lias decided that the sell er is bound to make a deed ; and as a deed without stamps is worthless, the seller is bound to furnish them also. School House Blown Down.— About noon ou Tuesday the brick school house at Alterlou was uuioofed and partially blown down by a terrible gale of wind which swept over that section of the country. Fortunately the school had been dismissed, and only the teacher, Miss Hull, and live or six pupils, were in the building at the time. Miss Hal I and one or two of the children wore slightly injured. The roof was carried by the . wind into an adjoining field. Take A Paper.—Some men have a very selfish notion on the subject of sub scribing for a newspaper. They seem to never think of any one else in the fami ly, and if they themselves want no paper why of course they conclude they need none in the house. A man whose soul is so contracted is not fit to have a wife or to raise cb'Mi-en. Every man should couault-tho ..reuaureof hie-wife and the interests of his children, especially so in matters that will assist in educating them and making them intelligent. Be Cakeful About Your Stamps.— Persons who deal in real estate should be careful of the revenue stamps they use.— The Zanesville Courier says that a gen tleman a short time since sold a couple of pieces of property, and in making the deeds neglected to affix the proper reve nue stamps. On one he put no stamps at all, and on the other be placed only a ten cent stamp, while each deed should have had asl stamp affixed. His negli gence cost him a hundred dollars. Consumption.—A. writer in the Allan tic Monthly gives some startling evidence to prove that consumption is mainly caus ed by the dampnessa surrounding the abode* of those attacked by the disease. He says that extended and repeated ob servations in England and Massachu setts show beyond doubt that, other things being equal, consumption among the people is in direct proportion with the moisture of the localities where they live. He thinks that consumption is in no ordinary sense a hereditary diseases and believes that with proper precautions in building houses in dry places; and draining wet places where houses are al ready built, this terrible disease may be robbed of full oue-third of its victim at once, and may be eventually banished from among men entirely. If these are f uc te_and we do not doubt them—they are of sufficient importance to invite municipal and legislative action. \Vedo not see why a law enforcing precautions and regulations which the medical facul ty might recommend, should not be pass ed, and inspectors appointed to carry out its provisions. It is as reasonable to leg islate against consumption as against yel low fever. THE SCIIOErPE-STENXFX’KE CASE.

The Sheriff produced t lie pris oner, in answer to a writ issued last week by hie Honor Judge Graham. Diet. Attorney Magluughlin offered the information on which the defendant wns arrested, dated Peb. Kith 1800. In forma lion made hy Chas. P. Sunno. Henry L. Burkholder sworn.—Am pro prietor of Mansion House, Carlisle. Miss Stennecke came to my house 19lh of Jan tiary, and died on 28lh of same month. Dr. Schoeppe wns Iter attending physi cian. He visited her two or three limes a dav ; Miss Stennecke became seriously ill on tlioday before her death; at half past 9 o’clock I went to her room and knocked twice and got no answer. I called to her two oi three times and got no answer* ventilator was open. I thought she asleep, and I wouldn’t wake her. I was told that evening she was sick, and thinking site might he 111, I culled at her room. The next morning about six o’clock, one of my girls came down and told me the old lady was dying. I sent for Dr. Schoeppe ; came back and told me Dr. couldn’t be in until 9 o’clock. Then The was went for Dr. Herman, he wi ■ not in. Her man and Schoeppe met there atlOo'clock. She died at 6 o’clock in the evening of same day. The body was laid out, put into a coffin and sent to Baltimore. Dr. A. J. Herman, affirmed.—l am a practicing physician. 1 was call* dto see Miss Stennecke on the morning of Hie day she died. Mr. Burkholder sent for trie. It was eleven o’clock when I got there; when I got there she was lying insensible, and pulseless in both arms. I asked Dr. S., what was the nature of the disease. He told mein German, it was half palsy. 1 was standing at. loot of bed. She was lying on left aide. I moved up toher body and felt herpnl.se. In half pahy the face Is “ lopsided "—a lady told me her lace was always "lopsided.” I could not perceive any motion of the heart, either from thickness of garments or from inaction of heart. I opened the eye ami found it In rather a contracted condition. I could not say what was the cause of her death. Some one there told me she had taken 100 much morphia. By the appearanceof her eyes I did not think that was tlie case. I could hardly say what might have been the cause of her death. I had no reason to think that any other cause was at work ; but I was sati tied it was not produced by narcotics.— The contracted slate of the eye indicated t hut something else might have been ta knii—Hydrocyanic acid would have caused contraction of eye. No remedies were applied. I thought she was already • lying. I would have given her prepara tion «-l iron. Electricity might have been applied. I was not present at her death. Gross-examined.—She was breathing, and l hat was aboutall. when I went there. Theie was not much effort in breathing. It was slow, short breath She was ly ng in an easy position on leftside. vS‘»e •on Id not speak. I did not hear her speak. [ cannot tell whether I spoke to her. I felt her hand, but she did not respond •She was not in a heavy torpor. I never saw a case resulting from prussic acid. I never saw a case in which 1 had to ad- minister antidotes for prussic acid. Her mouth was open, and the tongue was turned to one aide. I did not attempt anv remedy ; they had already applied heat ing remedies to hands and feet. Dr. Schoeppeasked me whether bleeding was necessary ; I told him she was past bleed ing. I was in the room five or ten min utes. They said it was appoplexy, and I did not say anything. There was no dis agreeable or unusual odor about her. She was kept nice and clean. My head was not near here. I was not nc tr enough to her mouth to discover any unusual odor, if,there had been any. I thought she was in a dying condition. The tongue and mouth were moist. I felt the feet, they appeared to be in a natural condi tion. I did not examine the muscles of her feet. I did not examine the muscles on the breast. I could not see any motion of the heart; there seemed to be want of action. There was nothing like foam at the mouth. Dolly Turner, (col’d) sworn.—l am chambermaid at Burkholder’s. Was there when Miss 8. died. I attended benootu ; knew Dr. Bchoeppe; met him once or twice going to her room. I could not say he came every day. He generally came about 9 o’clock in the morning. He went to her room and remained with her pri- vately. He was there the day before Miss S. died. He came about-10 o'clock, A. M. She was alone. When he was there she called to me for a spoom I did notgo in. The Dr. took the spoon from me at the door. She called me again, and told me he was going to give her something to throw heaviness of! her breast. She then aot up, and called me lo empty ihe buck et. She vomited after Dr. S. left. I was called in about 11 o’clock. She told me not to come in again,as the Dr. told her she should go to sleep. In the afternoon some one in the kitchen told me to to Miss S’b. rooD), that the Dr. had left word. She told me to Hx the candle and not to come in any more as she wanted to sleep, She then told meshe would send for me again, that f e Dr. would let me know. I went to her room at 7 o’clock. She sabi she had been waiting. Sue asked me if the Dr. had not told me to come, hut no one had told me. I asked her if she would have supper. She said she would. I took it to her. She only took two sups of lea and told me to set the beefsteak on the stove, and if she felt better site would eat it. I came back. She got up, undressed —between 7 and 8 o'clock She got into beil. I asked her if she did not intend to lock the door. She said she would trust to Providence. She would not lock the door. In the morning, aftershe vomited, she said she * ad asked the Dr. for some tiling to make her sleep, and be was going to give her something. The Dr. was there twice that day—in the morning and the afternoon. She told me lie had been 1 here in the evening. 1 went to her room at 6 o'clock.next morning. She was insensi ble ami speechless. Cross-examined.-The Doctor was not present when she told me he was going to give her something to make her sleep. X never had any conversation with her in presence of Dr. S. There were no oth ers there in the morning on Wednesday. On Thursday morning others were iu the room. 1 did nothearherspeak onThnrs day. Her voice was very feehle on Wed nesday evening.

I noticed no froth about her mouth ; I did not smell any disagreeable smell, or any ordor of peach leaves. Mrs. Mary Parker, sworn.—l boarded at Mansion House at time Miss S’s death. Miss S. was at breakfast bn Wednesday morning. I missed her at dinner. I went to her room at 2 o’clock. She was lying on her bed, with a handkerchief over her face ; she said she bad taken a vomit. I asked her if she would have a cup of tea; she told roe the Doctor had given her something to make her sleep, and if it did not make hersleep, he would give her sometldng more. This was 2 o'clock, Wednesday afternoon. She sent word by chambermaid that weshould please not come in. I saw nothing more that evening. On Thursday morning, she was breathing heavily, insensible and motionless; her eyes wore very little open ; Dr. 8. was not to be found. Saw liira afterward out on pavement.

The District Attorney then offered the following depositions of physicians and others, connected with the post mortem examination of the body of Miss Sten nccke, in Baltimore. They wore taken before Justice O’Donnell, of that city ; the defendant being represented by Win. H. Miller, Esq., of this place, and Henry Webster, Esq., of Baltimore; and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania being represented by Wra. A. Stewart, Esq., of Baltimore. The testimony was In sub stance as follows; * Dr. Nicholas G. Ridgley, sworn.—Was acquainted with the late Maria M.
