HON. GEORGE SHAESW00D,
Of PlIlliDILPHli.
N'otice. 'ext week will be tho
lutt iuo of tho Republican in which
ModiJatei can announce their names
in accordance with tho rules of the
party being threo weeks previous to
the primnry election.
The Pittsburg Commercial glibly
asks : "Who hinders reconstruction !"
We answer, the lendors of your party
tho men who court disunion. The
traitors are in your own camp; auk

Tho loyal ring-mnntor, Thad. Ste

July. We hope they will oboy him
in this requcBt, because the next ses

bung themselves.
Death or aw Editob.. We regret
to learn that Col. E. G. Koddy, editor
of the Genius of Liberty, and Deputy
Collector of Internal ficvenuo, died at
bisrcBtdonco in Uniontown, Fayette
county, Ta., on the 12th iust., of con
gestion of the brain, after one day's
illness.
Tho Burratt trial is progressing
slowly at Washington. One week
bus expired, and they have only got
three jurors .sworn yet, and one of
thoso and tho Jmlffe cet sick altern
ately; besides, witnesses are not half
so plenty as when people wore tried
before the "Bureau of Military Jus
tice." Another batch of only nine hundred
thoutand dollars of government bonds
were missed at the Treasury depart
ment on the 11th instant.. It is said
the carelessness which caused such a
loss excites great consternation at the
department, but we prvHume, that,
like millions more that havo gone
into the samo pockets, "consterna
tion" will not return it.
We notice that tho Erie Observer
Las been reconstructed, mechanically
we mean, and now presents a fine
face, like its editor, and promises to
be still moro useful in tho future than
heretofore. Wo hopo brother Whit
man will continue to flail the Erie
Black Republicans with his usual
ability, until Lowry turns Domocrat
and Christian.
"To Whom it mat Conckhn." The
allegation made on the street by in
terested parties to the effect that we
refused to publish the namo of a can
didate last week is a lie, deliberately
made out of whole cloth, and we now
demand silence, or the proof on that
point. Whenever candidates, or their
frionds, comply with our printed rules,
their names invariably appear, and
we defy proof to the contrary.
Watch Them. There is a secret
political orgnnization springing up
throughout tho State, chiefly among
tho young men, entitled "The Junior
Sons of America." It is under tho
control of tho Stevens disunionists,
and is a mero rehash of defunct Know
2olhingiKin, and is being organized
in Democratic counties for tho pur
pose of catching young Democrats, so
to swell the Black Republican vote.
It is "Sam" undor a new name.

und lf .il talents of the present Chief

The Indian War. Thst tho Devil
should so prompt men to wickedness
and rrimo as to produce a war bo
twocn tho Indians and tho inhabit
ants of the western border, seems
almost beyond belief, but such ap

the tranaportation of troopa and passenger would
put into the troaaury of the company large luins

Tlmt men should becomo so dobased
in their habits and desires as to plungo
their country into a war in order to

that railroad men, Treasury buzzards,
and tho shoddy patriots, aro busy in
getting up another war for tho pur
poso of replenishing their coffers at
the exponso perhaps of tho lives of
thousands of persons, millions of mon
ey, and the liberties of the white race.
CoMi'LiMENTAar. The Philadelphia
Age, in noticing the ro-election of Mr.
Wallace, by tho Democratic State Con
vention, as Chaiitnan of tho State
Committee until January, 1S09, says :
In re-electing Hun. William A. Wallace Chair
man of the Domucro.tie State t'cutral Committee,
the Convention but terformrd an act of juatioc to
that hard-working, faithful, and efficient leader of
the State oryaniaution. Mr. Wallace baa labored
long and earnestly to perfect a ayatom of party
orfranixalion in the state, and the good effeeta of
hiaeffortaean beacen in theeolid manner in which
the party waa brought to the polla in the face of
a fierce, determined, and aictory-fluplied toe. Hav
ing led the force iu the hour of defeat, it waa but
proper that be ahould head them when all the aigna
of the tiuiea indicate a victory.
It is well know-i that Mr. "Wallncc
took command of tho Democratic
forces in this State at a timo when
older and more experienced states
men shrunk from such responsibility,
and feared to lead tho old "Union
savers" against tho hosts of Stevens
Si Co.; but having manfully attacked
the enemies of tho Union in tho open
6eld during the war, his compters are
magnanimous enough to award him
tho samo post of honor in timo of
peace. Their trust and confidence
could not bo delivered to sUfer nor
ubler hands,and will be kept inviolate.
Truth from a Strange Source
The journals and leaders of tho Black
Republican party, liltlo as they arc
disposed to tell tho truth about each
other, sometimes blunder into a posi
tive and truthful saying. Tho last
case in point is taken from tho Pitts
burg Commercial, tho western State
organ of Negrophobianism, in refer
ence to tho "Dead Duck," who is now
in Europe, spending $200,000 plun
dered from tho Baltimore k Ohio
Itailroad Company and tho people,
and playing flunkey before British
Lords and among the visitors to tho
Paris exhibition. Head what that
journal says:

"Whom the gods wish to destroy

and if there is truth in (ho observation

for a more demented set of dema

nyness, tho r'roi.climun for his vivaci
ty, or the Irishman for his pugnacity ;
but "the glory bus departed from Is
rael." Mow England rules tho coun
sels of tho Kudical party, and tho Yan
kee politicians have forfeited all claim
whutevcr to shrewdness; their con
duct has, in fact, been as utterly de
void of common sen ho as it well could
be bad it emanated from men totully
bcrelt of reason.
If Congress, since the close of tho
war, had been composed of Bedlam
ites, the legislation, and tho proceed
ings and discussions incident thereto,
whilo they might possibly at times
havo been somewhat more incoherent,
would scarcely have exhibited more
violence of foeling, or less good sense,
prudence and discretion. We say this
in no spirit of exaggeration, or even
of capliousness. A glance at what
has been done, and what has been
led undone, will fully justify all we
have said.
In the first place, any man in tho
possession of ordinary reason ought
to have understood that it wus no
timo to cripplo and puralizo tho reviv
ing energies of moro than a third of
tho people bj' oppressive legislation
when tho nation was just emerging
from a desolating and exhausting civil
war. Common prudence would havo
dictated the propreity ol assisting tho
people of tho South iu recovering from
tho ruinous cllects of tho strife, so
that they might bo in a condition to
assist iu paying tho enormous public
debt which has been created, and
which is weighing so heavily upon
tho people of the United Slates. A
very little perception of their own and
their constituents' interests should
have caused tho Solons ul Washington
to take this view of the matter; but,
on the contrary, their course has been
such as to discourago and crush, inso
much that tho South is at this mo
ment iu a far less prosperous condi
tion than at the time of Lee's surren
der. That a Yankee should thus so
materially increase his own part of
tho burden of taxation is an anomaly
which can only bo accounted for on
tho hypothesis wo have sucirested.
Some iuiut idea of the egvegrious mis
take which bus been commuted seems
lately to have mudu its way into the
Radical mind during a comparatively
lucid interval, but the remedy suirest-
edcould never have emanated from an)'
but a bruin hopelessly crazed, litis
proposed remedy is confiscation ;
which, if carried out, will render the
fertilo States of tho South henceforth
unproductive and worthless by tho ex
pulsion of tho owners of tho soil and
the substitution of a liiebuld popula
tion liko that of Mexico und some of
tho Central American Slates; for be
it observed thut tho object unsigned
for tho proposed measure is tho ro
ward of loyal soldiers and especially
negroes. Tho foolishness of tho sim
pleton who killed the gooso that laid
tho golden egg was the very nemo of
wisdom coinpurcd with tho proposi
tion to confiscate. So much for the
financiul acumeu of these Radical
leaders.
A little common sen so would have
taught our national legislators that
tho security of tho citizen lies in tho
freedom and permanency of tho gov
ernment; but, in their insuno baste
to gratify a dastardly reveugo upon a
defenseless people, they have struck
down tho very pulludium of theirown
liberties; and if tho damage they havo
done bo nut speedily repaired, they
and theirs will bo as sure to sutler
from it as that the South is already
doing so. It was the work of mad
men to annul tho Constitution and
overthrow the old government, there
by launching the ship of Slate upon a
sea of unknown perils. Tho barriers
set up by our fathers against oppres
sion and tyranny once broken down,
what security can they have for their
own liberties nnd property ?
Wherever tho South was concerned,
madness has ruled tho counsels at
Washington. It was madness to erase
tho lino of demarcation drawn by the
founders of tho republic between tho
Suites and tho General Government.
It was madness to substitute a cen
tralized power for our old and admi
rable form of government. It was
madness to reduco ton States of the
American Union to tho condition of
conquered provinces, subject to the
dictation, in all things, of tho central
government, nnd to tho whims and
caprico of its military hat raps. Hav
ing wrongfully and unlawfully de
spoiled tho Southern peoplo of their
slavo property, it was tho bight of
insanity to invest tho ignorant and
debased negro with the rights of citi
zenship, anil to give him privileges
that aro denied to great numbers of
t ho best and most intellectual white
men of tho South.
And it is very midsummer madness
on tho pin t of the Radical leaders to
attempt to inaugurate negro stifTrage
all over the United Slates, and lo do
whatever legislation enn do to raise
the African to a fooling of eipiulity
with the Caucasian, forgetting or ig
noring tho fact that, if their work
should bo carried to its legitimate
conclusion, the mingling of tho blood
of tho two races would inevitably
result in the debasement and ruin ol
tho American peoplo. If it bo true
that those whom the Deity intends to
destroy ho first renders insane, then,
as wo have said, may wo hok for tho
speedy and utter destruction of the
lladicul leaders and party.
Jolinaon, we Tcrily believe, would pardon the
devil if hr had a chance. wiefn.eB tiatttlt.
And tho Republican parly would
hang every man who differs from
them iu opinion, if they had a ehanco.
If Johnson errs, it is in Christian
charity and kindhearledness ; hut the
opposite is tho spirit that seems to
aetUUtn tlinyt Ifovtiihlifniia nnmnlv
unreasonable liato and maliguity.

Chief Justieo Woodward has de
served front the Democracy of tho
State of Pennsylvania, any position of
honor or dignity in their power to bo
stow. Of great learning, spotless in
tegrity, ami largo sympathies, he has
won lir himself such an estimation
from his lellow-citizens as must respect
his wishes, whether they bo for public
cervicoorrelireinent. llo upheld tho
law in the face of popular clamor, and
made it respected in the midst of a pas
sionate civil strife, and against tho
frowns of power. Ho was tolerant
even to tho intolerant, nnd serenely
brave, at a timo When such virtues
brought their possessors obloquy rath
er than reward. It w ould havo been,
therefore, a greut pleasure to tho Dem
ocrats of Pennsylvania hud they been
pormitted toconlinuo on tho Supremo
Bench one ;ho has so much adorned
it. Judgo Woodward has, however,
denied them that gratification. Ilis
views of his duty, as expressed in bis
letter declining a reiiutuinution pub
lished in these columns some wcidts
ago, so imperatively resisted tho p
ular inclination, that no course was
loll to tho Democracy but thut of re
spectful though regretful assent to his
wishes. In this situation, with the
Judgeship of the Supremo Court in
their gift, great solicitude was mani
fested us to tho proper person upon
whom tho judicial munllu should fall ;
and without disparagement to any of
tho learned und distinguished gentlo
mcn named for that exulted position,
it is no exaggeration to sy that the
eyes and hearts of all who cured for
the reputation of tho Bench and the
glory of the Commonwealth instinct
ively turned with ono accord to tho
Hon. Geoiioe SiiAitswoon, of this city,
whoso unanimous nomination by the
Stato Convention was but the olliciul
expression and ratification of that uni
versal publio sentiment which de
manded it.
Judgo Slinrawood sprung of a well
known Pennsylvania family, was born
on tho T tli of Jul)-, ls10. Ho gradu
ated on tho ".1st ul July, 1SJ, at the
University of Pennsylvania, with the
highest honors, delivering tho Greek
salutory oration. Ho studied law
with tho lion. Joseph R. Ingersoll,
und was admitted to practice on the
f.th of September, In 1SH7,
five years uflcr his admission to the
bur, he was elected from the City of
Philadelphia to the Legislature of bis
nativo State. This was at a time
when that body numbered among its
members many of tho most distin
guished men ol tlio State, nnd wben
to be a member of it w as an honor.
In is.'jft, ho was chosen a member of
tO Select Council of tho City of Phil
adelphia. In lKJl and 142 ho was
again elected to the Legislature On
the Slli of April, li45, uon the reor
ganization of iho present District
Court for the City and County of
Philadelphia, he received ul tho handn
of that pure pan iot, the late Governor
Shunk, tho appointment of Judgo of
that Court; and on tho 1st of Febru
ary, became the President, one
of his senior associates yielding the
pluco to him. When the Constitution
was changed in lol and the judiciary
becamo elective, and again in 101, ho
was elected by the people without un
opposing rumiiilalo, the unusual hon
or of a nomination by both of the
great political parties having been
conferred upon him.
Thus, for over twenty-two years,
has Judge Shurswood been a member
of, and lor nearly twenty years pro
bided over, tho busiest court in this
large city. How he has filled that of
fice tho universal testimony of tho
Philadelphia Bur will testily. It is
not too much to say that no Judge
who ever "at in this coun'y bus com
manded to so great a degree tho re
spect and confidence, and, if we ex
cept Judgo Bushrod Washington, the
attection of the profession us Judge
Miurswood. If it were possible to es
timate the value in money which such
a judgo bus been to Ibis community
during the long period ol his olliciul
service, tho sum would eeem exagger
ated to liny not familiar with his
worth.
Ilis systeinization of tho business
of the Court has prevented costly do
lays, and his opinions huvo such
weight thut few lawyers care to risk
tho expenso of a w rit of error from
his judgments, llo has constructed
the practice of his court, and almost
created the local law of tho commu
nity. During all this lime, ho has
been, if not a prolific, an habitual and
most careful legul writer and author.
His edition of Mlaekstono, of Byles
on Bills, bis annotations to Knglish
Reports, his Professional Ethics and
Lectures, havo given him a national
reputation ns w ido as it is well found
ed. All over the L'nitod States he is
regardod as foremost as a jurist, a
lawyer, and a scholar. So new testi
monials can adil to his reputation.
The people of tho Stnto of Pennsylva
nia whilo conferring upon Judgo
Shurswood tho additional boner of
electing him to tho Jutlgship of tho
Supremo Court, will extend the credit
und dignity of that tribunal, and en

Tho war of races has already be

ing as a Race, an 1 irith distinction of
color, havo brateu tho Whiles ul the
Polls, in both cities. Tho same war
is existing in New Orleans, and iu
nearly all tho cities nnd towns in the
South. This war of races, it is true,
exists only in political meetings, and
ul tho polls, but it is tho siiino sort
of wnr that preceded tho race out
breuk in Jamaica, llayli.und Spanish
America, and in other mixed, mottled,
amalgamated lauds.
It is lolly to suppose, that what
God made, two distinct races of men,
can bo unmade, by any act of Con

ed by Law into being equal co-partner

The idea of the Radicals, thut alone iu

skin, tho Caucasian dill'ers from tho
African, is just as erroneous, as would
bo tho idea, that man was woman, or
woman, man, for the tliflereiico in
tho anatomical organization, between
tho Negro and tho White, is far great
er than betweon men and women. The
Bruin of men and women is about
alike. Tho bruin of tho Negro and
While man is quite unlike. Tho skin
of the man and woman is alike ; tho
skin of tho Negro and White man is
very ditleront. The bone of a man
a id woman is very like, save in size;
the bonuof the Negro and White man
is quito unlike. The hair of the man
and woman is alike ; tho hair of the
Negro and White man is quite unliko.
Tho lips of tho mini und woman are
very like, whilo tho lips of tho Negro
und White man are very unlike, dit
to, the teeth, ditto, tho shoulder. In
short, only in sex, does mini differ
from tho woman, whilo the Negro dif
fers from the While man from the
crown of his bead to the solo of bis

where tho women are in tho majority
of excluding the women from a vote,
whilo thoNcgro is given the vote, (of
chattering ou manhood, but ignoring
womanhood,) is inexcusable, for wo.
man is the superior race, nnd the No
gro is tho inferior, by the law of God.
This wur of races, here, if forced
on, will destroy our white races,
where tho inferior race is in a major
ity, here, us in Ilayti, Jamaica and
throughout Spanish America. Ne

throughout South and Central Amer

idea of Gov. Perry of South Carolina.
that the live monarchy (white)

new question the core of radicalism.

of the Constitution, it assumes to die

and decamped. This coolness and da

saved tho lionso from robbery, as her

money in her possession prior to

Shad Well, wo have shad at last.
Mr. William Gaugler, who is a veteran
fisherman, is now engaged below Sha

of shad. On Monday be caught P4,
and yesterday ho took out HIT. The

could ascend, and it must be very
gratifying to him now to reap the re

We have another Latch of these,
from the Caliphs, not of Bagdud, but
of Louisiana, Alabama, etc., one
signed "Sheridan," removing Gover
nor Wells--and another signed "Pope"
(of Hull Run notoriety,) rvsloring the
publication of nn incendiary lladicul
sheet, that had been saying something
very liko counselling iho negroes to
shoot down w hite men, etc., etc.
As lo this reinovul of tho Governor
of a Suite by a Military satntp acting
under the authority ol the Ituiup ( 'ou
grosH, one can only regret ihut there
should be any of the forms even of
Sliuo government left down there ut
all. Better sweep them till away at
once, and bo done with it. Tho tiling
w ill then look less like u cheat, than
it does now.
General Sheridan, wo aro told, has
appointed ono Thomas J. Uuraut
Governor in Wells' place. But what
now theory iu our system of govern
ment is this, which entrusts the
power of malting and unmaking Gov
ernors to a military officer, the crea
ture of Congress ? The People, here
tofore, have bad something to say in
tho election of Governors, but the
Peoplo, now, uro nobodies, the Ca
liphs, or the epaulettes, alono being
supreme.
Let us for very shamo sake, in our
fourth of July orations and sjK.'eches,
have no more to say about down-1
trodden Poland, oppressed Ireland, or
Turkish tyranny in Crete. Thoro is
no Poland moro down trodden, no
Ireland moro oppressed, no Crete
more tyrunized over than these mili
tary dependencies of ours by the ca
liphs nod satraps whom the Rudieuls
havo placed over them.
Tor Wells, personally, there is but
little sympathy, having been, of lale,
but a supple tool in the bunds of his
masters; but his romovul from office,
under the circumstance!, is, neverthe
less, another landmark on tho high
way of military dusHitism, upon which
Radicalism is marching, aa people
who were woDt to suy, "Where Lib
erty tl wells, there is my country." A".
Y. Express.
Qi'ackkkt. Tho policy adopted by
our rulers to relieve the financial em
harassment" of the country is fetyled
"quackery," by the Secretary of the
Treasury, endorsed by the Radical
New York Times. The latter says:
"The prevailing tendency is to cure all
ills by tho application of nostrums of
which plain sense is ra;ely an ingre
dient. Thus, business depressions it
ia proposed to remedy by protective
tariffs ; light times by more currency ;
general poverty by an increaso of
debt. The Secretary of the Treasury,
with his vulgar bubitof calling things
by their right names, terms these pre
scriptions quackery, and no other
word could more filly describe their
character."
SuocKiNa Affair. Two negroes
wero hung in Wyandotte, Kansas, last
week, on suspicion ol having murdered
a fanner named McMann, a short time
ago The ropo broke while they were
hanging, and they were shot to pieces
by tho ringleaders. Senator Wade
and his excursion party passed thro'
the town in the evening, and Wade
being called upon for a speech, refused
to comply, asserting that he would not
speak iu a town whero mob law
reigned, ilob law has been tho "go"
in Washington for the past six years,
yet Ben. has spoken "several pieces"
iu that place.
lloraco Haines, who was convicted
of tho murder of Hiram Sutlifl'e, in
151, and was returned from tho Ohio
penitentiary, where ho bad served
nearly thirteen years of a life term,
on a writ of error to Ashtabula county,
Ohio, was discharged under a nolle
prosequi, on Friday last. It was found
thut it would bo impossible to convict
him on a new trial, of even . man
slaughter. Many of the witnesses were
beyond reach, and sumo were dead.
This transaction smacks largely of
rascality, and "grand moral ideas,"
mixed.
In a blacksmith shop in Auburn,
III., tho other day, a man named
Thnxton stubbed ono named Hurst in
the bowels, causing his death almost
instantly. Tho murderer was arrest
ed, nnd on his way to jail tho officers
allowed their prisoner to stop at his
liouso for a few minutes, where, after
eating a hearty supper, he delibcrulely
disemboweled himself with a table
knife.
