them. Many of them wore taken to
rort Mifflin, and thero incarcerated
for irom twenty to fifty duys, and
then sent home, without a trial, with
out tho presentment of a single charge
against them. When I had sought
the Attorney General of this Com
monwealth, and asked the interven
tion of law ; whon I had called upon
the brave hearted and liberal Senator
from Erie fMr. Lowry to aid me in
administering to theso victims their
plain right the law these men wero
takon from the military rule and sent
to the United States Court at Pitts
burg for trial; but no indictment could
be sustained against them, and tboy
were sent to their homes untried and
unconvicted. You may slnndor my
people as you chooso, but - when you
want a stalwart arm, when you want
a brave heart, when you want the
men who can shoot with dendly aim,
then you come to us.
Sir, I speak warmly, becanse I
spoak feelingly upon this subject. 1
have heard loo much of such language
as has been uttered hero to night : I
wish to hear it no more.
Sir, the man who shot the provost
marshal voted for Abraham Lincoln ;
he lived within three miles of my own
town. I know all the facts and cir
cumstances connected with this affair,
and before any court and jury in this
Commonwealth he would not be con
victed of a crime higher than man
slaughter. This officer never showed
his warrant, never produced bis au
thority, and fired first upon the man
who was fleeing from him. These
are the facts of that case So much
for my defense. i ;
Let me ask you what avails such
answers as you give to the charges
we bring against you 7 Wo have
charged the man you have set as your
idle with crimes, and we have endeav
ered to provo our charges. I quote
now from tho reports of Congress of
the proceedings of the United Stales
government in ISG3.
Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, in
troduced a bill on the 27th of January,
for the enlistment of one hundred and
fifty thousand soldiers, persons of col
or of African descent That bill was
passed ; they were enlisted. On the
first day ot May rebel legislation came.
I find it in McPhorson'a History of
the Rebellion. On the 27th of Janu
ary the negroes were authorixod to
be put into the service. They were
in the field before the first day of
May. When that day came, I find
upon the statute books of rebeldom
the law for retaliation against the
"fW'tnent of negroes. What was
the retaliation r it was that negroes
should not be accounted the equals of
what men ; that a negro soldier would
not be exchanged for a white soldier,
for they denied our right to put arms
in their hands.
Secretary Stanton said the negro
was the equal of the white man nnder
all circumstances ; the rebels of the
South refused to recognize this, and
yoa made the white men in Southern
prisons suffer in consequence That
f . L A I.!.. -I.l- ....
is mo irue nisiory ui uns transaction.
That is what you have to answer for.
Had you accepted their proposals, and
exchangod white for white, you would
not have kept suffering white soldiers
in Southern prisons. Yoa would not
have had ten thousand lives to ac
count for. Then you might have said
that Secretary Stanton was not to
blame. The Senator from Bradford
and the Senator from Lawrence may
well talk about principle. Here was
principle with a vengence. A princi
cipie that declared rebels should not
say that a negro was not equal to a
white man, and vindicated that prin
ciple at the white man's expense. You
inflicted barbarity, ruthless barbarity,
upon your white soldiers to vindicate
the principlo that u negro was the
equal of the white man.
Principle; forsooth, that would thus
punish men of your own race. Prin
ciple I thut would thus entail degra
dation and suffering npon the men
you should protect. W hy, Sunators,
if this be principle, to what vill not
principle drive you f To what base
uses may we not come at last f The
Senator from Lawrence Mr. Browne
admits in effect that this was the prin
ciplo that was everything with his
purty. Mr. Stanton would not rooog
nixe the fact that a whito soldier was
belter than a negro ; and ho deter
mined that a white soldier should not
be exchanged for a white soldier until
the rebels acknowledged that a negro
should be exchanged for a white nan.
Now, let me read yon again from
this book, on page 70. Rule 57 of
the role of war is given as follows :
"So Mljmnl km rif hi to dtelftra tbt nt
miM of t errtaia cLua, color or raodtliiin. warn
pmparly organiMd aa anlaieri, will Bol ba traated
by atm aa public aeraiM." r
This rule was made to sustain tho
principlo you avow. It was the legal
form of your accursed doctrine pun
ish the while soldier, because the reb
els rcfuso to recognire negroc as
soldiers.
We may even admit that the rebels
did wrong, but would you add wrong
to wrong f Would you add barbarity
to barbarity, crime to crirao, misery
to misery f Senators may prate of
the LiHtory oi the past six years, and
talk virulently about Democrats.
But the time has gone by when you
can turn our flank by any such argu
ments. Where is the Union, to-duj f
Ynu bave had the power, and the peo
ple bold you accountable. Where is
the Union of froe and independent
States, with peace and projoriiy
within it, borders f
Two years and more have p.issod
since the rebellion was conquered, and
a dissevered and broken Union yet
remains. Military rule and abnolule
power rears itsolf within oar borders.
Gaunt famine enters the door of many
a household in the broad North. Mis
ery, degradation and crime pervades t
lELD
the South. We ask at your hands,
we demand of you, the ruling men of
the nation, accountability for these
crimes; we will oonlinuo to demand
at your hands an answer to those
charges. It is of you we ask, whero
is our country f Broken, dissevered
and shattered, we ask you to give it
back, ilad you given us what you
could have given us, the Constitution
of our country, the Union of the Stales,
peace and prosperity would liavo now
Iiervaded all the land ; taxation would
lave been light; tbebluck man would
have enjoyed the fruits of hia own
labor; the white man would have
occupied the place God designed him
to occupy in tho Government of this
Republic But your groat dogma is
that the black man is to have the
power; and the Senator from Brad
ford Mr. London very eloquently
alluded last tnght to the rainbow and
its prismatic! colors, and tho drops that
made up the great arch, and bis con
cluding sentence would imply thut
black was ono of the component colors
in the rainbow.
Mr. Fisher. Will the Senator allow
me to interrupt him f I will answer
his question. 1 understood the Sena
tor, last night, to eay they were Dem
ocrats when thoy went into the army ;
it is to that 1 was reiomng. lie asks,
what are they now f I will answer
that question with great pleasure. A
very large majority of the bounty
jumpers and deserters were Republi
cans, or ra.her were Democrats.
Mr. Wallace. The Senator unfor
tunately straggles against the train.
Laagbler.l
But all this is aside from the main
question on hand to-nigbt. Senators
go too far wben they enter the field of
ireneral politics. 1 he simple Question
before us is whether the man whom it
is sought to praise by these resolutions
should be endorsed. As I said lant
night, be is the representative of an
tagonism to the ideas we hold. He
is the representative of that party
who believe in striking down our free
institutions. 1 am unwilling to place
upon the records of this Senate any
thing that will indicate that I sustain
him in the slightest particular.
1 have said all I intend to say on
this subject. I would not bave en
gaged the time of the Senate bad it
not been for the attack upon me and
those I represent.

the tovereign, "dumb like a lamb and
tbey open not tbeir mouths," are led
to the window by the self important
leaders to vote, has even commanded
admiration mingled with contempt.
Jenner now stands out in bold and
dashing colors. She is fur ahead of
Congress. Congress blusters and re
solves Jenner performs. Congress
is too cowardly to be candid and boldly
proclaimed the purpose and intent of
tho Radical reconstruction measures
to be amalgamation. Jenner with
candor boldly throws her flag to the
breeze and gives practical demonstra
tions. We wero ltd to theo reflections on
hearing, a few days since, of the follow

This is reconstruction without the

commend the Justices of Jenner to
the Rump Congress. They have car
ried out their favorite doctrine. When
tho Rump Congress succeeds in re
moving Justices 1 'a vis and Fields

put in their places Justices Fleck and
Griffith of good old Jenner. If they
succcced in getting ihe latter on the

Slate Troasnror and the banking
house of August Belmont k Co., of
New York. A resolution was very
properly introduced In the lower
House of the Legislature censuring
Mr. Treasurer Kemble, but it was
dodged, if not altogether suppressed
from tho record. The vote stood,
yeas, 23; nays, 53. We hnvo not

We are pleased to k now that, although
our Black Republican Legislature re-

Wo have received from Messrs. N.

in a lew days by a further lot of 1100,.

Besides those, Messrs. Rothschild
bold about $.'00,000 more ot stock
already overdue and becoming due
this yetir. Those gentlemen again
complain of the injustice of the action
of the State of Pennsylvania, in forc
ing its creditors to accept payment in
depreciated currency, and bave in
structed us to receive payment only
under protest, as heretofore.
They would, however, prefer to hold
the stock, if an arrangement could be
made wit h your blate lor a oonlioua
tion of the loan, and will only accept
pnyment now il compel led to do so by
a discontinuance of the interest. We
have written to the Fanners' and Me
chaoics' National Bank of Philadel
phia to confer with yoa on this sub
ject before accepting payment, and
we org j uu win give mis mailer jour
senous consideration and let us know
whether an extension os desired by
Messrs. Rothschild is powcible.

of tho YHh, I beg to say that no ar
rangements can be made by which
the Messrs. itotnscniius can retain ttie
old loan (now overdue) and continue
to draw interest on it.
You state that should no arrange
ment be made yoa will be compelled
to accept payment under protest. To
this we have not the slightest objec
tion. Your compluints about the in
justice of our not paying )-on in gold
may seem just to you, but to us they
seem ridiculous.
I have no donbt Messrs. August
Belmont k Co. bad many liabilities
out, when the legal -tender act was
passed, which became duo after gold
had risen to a premium of 80. I have
not yet heurd of their conscience com
pelling them to psy in gold instead of
the legal-tender.
We are willing to give yoa the pound

blood. Respectfully,

Sia ; I bave to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of 30th ult., ad
dressed to my house, in reply to our
application on behalf of Messrs. N. M.
itothschild k Sons, of London, who
had instructed os to receive payment
of the Pennsylvania Stale stock now
due, under protest in case the State
should not pay the principal in coin,
and in ense no arrangement could bo
effected having in view a continuation
of tho interest and an extension of the
time of redemption of the capital.
Messrs. Rothschild act in this mat
ter as trustees of tho holders of the
oVbctitures of the United States Bank
of Pennsylvania, residing in England
and on the continent of Kuropo. You
seem so well acquainted with the
financial transactions of States and
individuals, that you must know that
by these debentures hundreds of w id
ows and orphans have boon reduced
to beggary.
Messrs. Rothschild, in trying (o
save for their constituents all they
Can of the' wreck, have made through
my house en application, which they
as well as I deem just and equitable,
and this application was made in a
courteous and respectful manner. In
so doing Messrs. Rothschild have
evinced a new proof, if any was want
ed, of their strict and honorable ap
preciation of Ihe obligations assumed
by thou as trustees lor the innocent
holders of the most disastrous securi
ty ever negotiated by their houso, a
negotiation bused principally upon
tho faiiu of the Slate ol Pennsylvania
and its great banking institution.
1 our reference lo tho liabilities of
my houso, contracted in coin and as
sumed by you to have boon paid in
currency, is ns impertinent as it is
untrue in point oi lact. Augnsl Jiel
niont k Co. bave never declined to meet
any demand lor the payment in coin of
any liability eootraotod by them in
coin, before or tince tho Legal-tender
act.
If they had adopted the course to
wards their creditors which you pro-
pnso to take on behalf of the Stale of
Pennsylvania towards her unfortunate
creditors represented by the Meesrs.
itOthsulnld, there might have been
some excuso for the lack of courtesy
which you have exhibited in j-our let
ter to them.
REPUBLICAN,
In conclusion, I take this opportu
nity to express my regret that the
Stnto of Pennsylvania, should have for
its Treasurer a person who could so
far disgrace the State ho assumes to
represent and forget the dignity of
tho oflicc he holds, as to reply to a
civil business communication in a
manner which must raiso tho blush of
shame on the check of every citizen
of that great and honored Stato. I
am your obedient servant.
(Signed) ArousT Belmont.
William n. Kemble, Esq.. State
Treasurer of the State of Pennsylva
nia, Harrisburg.
"The blush of shame," has already
mantled tho cheek of Pennsylvania's
good-looking State Treasurer. lli
party friends are assisting in prolong
ing the "blush." The Philadelphia
Ledger, of the 11th Inst., says Mr.
Kcinblo'slctteris"waritonly and scan
dulously insulting." The Doylebtown
Democrat thus refers to the matter ;
"The conduct of Slate Treasurer
Kemble, in going out of the way to
insult the Messrs. Belmont k Co., and
a large class of our citizens, in an offi
cial letter, is brutal. His letter is
gross and vulgar. Such a publio offi
cer is a disgrace to the State, and he
ought to be compelled to resign before
he is relieved by the newly elected
Treasurer. Official impudence cannot
go further. His allusion to the reli
gious faith of the Rothschilds ia an
atrocious insult. 1 Mr. Kemblo's letter
shows that he is a blackguard and not
fit to bold any public position in this
State. Let bim begone."
The N. Y. Tribune has the following
first-class notice of Mr. Kemble.
"The correspondence between Mr
August Belmont and Mr. W. H. Kem
ble, Treasurer of the State of Perms-!-vauia,
which we published yesterday,
ought to be read by American gentle
men with mingled shame and satisfac
tion; wilh shame that an official of
Mr. Keinble's rank should have filled
an official business letter with gross
and unprovoked insults, and with sat
isfaction that Mr. Belmont should have
administered, in bis reply, a severe
and well-merited castigation. The
tone of Mr. Kemblo's entire letter is
coarse ; but tho vulgarity of the con
cluding sentence, iu which be alludes
to the religious fuilh of the Roths
childs, is atrocious. Mr. Kemble bad
better resign. - He may have frequent
occasions to associate officially with
gentlemen, and tho intercourse could
hardly fail to bo unpleasant."
A Loyal Fraud. The St Louis
correspondent of the Cincinnatti
Inquirer says: "There is no tolling
the waya that men, greedy for gain,
will not avail themselves of to advance
their fortunes, especially during and
since the war, as men have been found
willing and anxious to sell soul and
conscience for a little filth- lucre. A
few days since an incident occurred
which very forcibly illustrates this.
An Irishman was employed to dig up
and remove some of tho bodies of
Union soldiers in the Wcsleyan Cem
etery of this city. In lifting the cof
fins be thought they seemed unusu
ally hollow in their sound, and open
ing them found that no bodies had
ever been placed in them at all, noth
ing but planks or square blocks of
wood. The mystery to the honest
Hibernian was great, but when it was
told bim that the Union soldiers were
buried by contract the undertaker
receiving so much per coffin and
that the bodies con Id bo sold at a
handsome profit to some medical col
lego, the doubt was at once removed,
and the avenue to a large fortune im
mediately disclosed. This was only
one of the ways that the war made
men rich.
Heavy Sentences. In the Supe
rior Court yesterday afternoon, six
men were sentenced for tho crimes of
highway robbery, for the aggregate
term of sixty-four years and six
months. Judge Clinton, in passing
sentence, said in bis long experience
at tho bar bo had never known of a
similar case,where sis individuals had
beca sentenced for the crime of high
way robbery in one day, by tho same
Court. William Manogue was scot
to Auburn Stale Prison lor a term of
nineteen years, and three months; Fe
lix McCarly, nine years and . three
months, and Michael, alias 'Codger,"
McCarly, for nine years and three
months, for robbing Mr George Peifcr
on Maple street ; John Jones was sent
to the same prison for the term of
eleven years and three months, and
William Anderson for ten years and
three months, for robbing Mr. Bald
win, on Carroll street ; and James
Halestock, colored, for robbing Sam
uel Brown, also colored, was sent to
the same prison for five years and
three months. Buffalo Courur.
Beai Tiri'L. When the summer day
of youth is slowly wasting away into
the nightfall of ago, and the shadows
of the past years grow deeper ar.d
deeper as life wears to a close, it is
plcassnt to look back through the

rows ol early years. If we liavo a
home to shelter or hearts to rejoice
wilh us, and friends who bave been
gathering around our fireside, then
the rough places of our wayfaring
will bo worn and smoothed away in
the twilight of life, whilst the bright
sunny spots wo have passed through
will grow brighter and more beauti

intercourse with the world has not
changed the course of their holier i
