Gen. Logan's Speech
The speech by this old and sterling
democrat, which we publish on our out
side, contains some incontrovertible facts
that ought to be well weighed by every
honest democrat in the land before lie at
taches himself to the Vallandighams of
the peace party, who, throughout tic war,
gave aid and comfort to the rebels. Noth
ing we know of in history is more inex
plicable tiiari the spirit of Christian char
ity which has suddenly softened the
hearts of sundry copperheads towards
Jef Davis, Lee, Beauregard, and a host of
other criminals guilty of the highest crime
known lo the Constitution. For that
misguided man John Brown, they had
no sympathy—hanging was too good for
him; for some poor devil who steals a
bucket of coal, a stick of wood, or food to
eat, clap him in jail, say they; when du
ring the war, reports came that thousands
had been killed and ten or fifteen thou
sand wounded, it was just as they expect
ed, and, apparently, their smiles were far
broader for a rebel victory than a Union
success. Christian charity was then ata dis
count, but now, meekness, humility, pity,
all centre in a general copperhead desire
not only to pardon, but to invite those
blood-stained criminals to rule that Gov
ernment they could not destroy by giv
ing them greater political power than
they had before. Probation is not in their
creed; but perjured senators and mem
bers of Congress; perjured army and navy
officers; the fiends who starved our j**is
oner.s, or treated them like brutes; thieves,
robbers, guerrillas, and murderers, are all
welcome hack, so thai they vote {as they
shot) for copperhead tickets!
A correspondent informs us that a
conversation of cops was recently over
heard relating to a former republican,
who had la-en cajoled with the expecta
tion of an office. After referring to the
fact that he had been headed oflj one ex
pressed the opinion he might go back on
them. "Oh! no," said another, "lie's
safe—he'll stick !" This conversation oc
curred in Market street, and shows the
modus operandi by which to beguile men
into the support of measures contrary to
all their former professions.
T£r&, R. H. McCord, of this county, has
returned from Alabama, where he had
been teaching a freedman's school. On
his arrival, threats against his life were
made by the reconstructed, but lie plain
ly told them his political status, and gain
ing some credit for his honesty, was for
the time let alone. His school however
demonstrated that the colored children
under his care learnt more than the white
children in schools in that neighborhood,
and lie was accordingly notified on leav
ing not to return again, a man who could
give ocular demonstration that niggers
can learn being considered dangerous!
Truly, Gen. Grant was not wrong when
he said the war closed a year too soon.

GOV. CURTIS AND THE TIMES.
He Endorses Congress.
For sometime past many persons were
led to believe thfct <3-0 v. Curtin sided with
Johnsorr® policy, and some of the cops
eVch expressed a hope that he was com-
to them; but it appears from the
following letter addressed to Fr. Jordan,
Es Chairman of the Union Republican
State Committee, he is right side up on
the greatest issue ever raised in this coun
try, namely the rejection or admission of
rebels to legislative power. We commend
th ■ Governor's letter to all classes who
dt ire the welfare of our country, as he
presents some arguments that may be new
to them-
HAKRLSIJUitG, Pa., July 11, 'tW.
Sir : Your favor of the 4th inst., has
been received.
The question of calling an extra session
of the Legislature, to ratify the amend
ments proposed by the Congress of the
United States, has been carefully consid
er'"!. As soon as Congress finally passed
the amendments, I consulted with the
Governors of several of the States by tel
egraph, with the view of securing imme
diate and concerted action in ratifying
them—believing that such a course might
hasten the great end to lie attained by
tlieir incorporation into our organic law.
Hut the proposition was not received with
the favor anticipated, and it now seems
se: bled that there will be no general ac
tion of tlie .States to ratify by extra ses
sion, even if Pennsylvania should dp so.
To call an extra session in this State,
therefore, would not in any degree hasten
the adoption of the amendments by a suf
ficient number of the States.
The issues involved in the adoption of
the amendments proposed, for the ratifi
cation of the States, are not new. The}'
are questions which were considered and
discussed during the whole progress of
the war. The people have had abundant
opportunity to consider them, and I do
not doubt have definitely made up their
minds on them. After it was ascertained
that there could be peace and union only
by the utter destruction of the military
po ver of traitors, who, whilst there was
the remotest hope of the dismemberment
of the Government, would entertain no
terms of adjustment other than the sev
erance of the States, and peace was re
stored only after the valor of our armies
an 1 the fidelity of our jieople had disarm
ed treason by the capture of its military
forces, and the complete overthrow of
those who had usurped the forms of gov
er wnent in the rebellious States, and thus
compelling us to accept the terrible arbi
trament of the sword to rescue the Re
public from those who had committed
eight millions of people to compass its de
struction, and having saved it at an inca'-
culuble sacrifice of blood and of treasure,
it well IMJCOIUCS the people to provide for
its welfare in the future, so that those
who shall live after us may enjoy the
blessings of our free government without
the recurrence of discord and fraternal
st;ife. In this we should he humane ami
al-o just. While we should he magnani
mous to a reclaimed people, who are to
form an integral part of our nation, we
should also guard all sections against the
possibility of renewed attempts to dis
member the Union. There must he some
penalty tor a crime that has desolated our
land, ridged it with untimely graves, be
reaved almost every household and stag
gered us with debt For a crime so
heavy there must be some monuments of
iusti<*e as a warning to mankind of the
fate which awaits those who, actuated by
p;ission or ambition, may hereafter seek
to destroy the noblest and lx?st govern
ment on earth.
Congress has no more than met the de
mands of a loyal people in the proposed
amendments. As a basis of reconstruc
tion, they must be regarded by all dis
passionate men as remarkable only for
their magnanimity and the generous
terms on which it is proposes! to admit to
full citizenship ninety-nine one-hund
reths of those who crimsoned their hands
in the blood of their brethren to give an
arcby to a continent. To provide that
those who have added perjury to treason
in the sanctuary of both military and
civil power, shall hereafter be unable to
repeat their treason against our institu
tions, while all others are restored to lull
fellowship, is a policy whose generosity
coubl emanate only Ironi a government
as free and as strong as ours. To put all
the States upon an equality as to the ba
sis of representation, is not only reasona
ble, but necessary. Before the rebellion
three-fifths or the slaves were counted in
estimating representative population.—
Slavery having been abolished, the slave
Stat-es, unless the Constitution be amend
ed as proposed, will be entitled to add
two-fifths of their late slaves in estima
ting their representative population.—
urel\, \a c have not carried on a bloody
war for four years merely to give the re
bellious States an increase of political
power. That these States shall have no
morerepresentation, in proportion to their
voting population, than the old free States
have, is a proposition so just, that it would
seem to he impossible for any freeman of
Pennsylvania to object to an amendment
to prevent such a result.
It is just nail equitable in every sense,
and, while it leaves the question of suf
frage wholly with the States, where it
properly belongs, it makes every appeal
to the iut'-rests and pride of the States to
liberalize their policy, ami give to all
musses the benefit of American civiliza
tion.
That a!! persons of whatsoever class, j
<"udition or color, should he equal in civ- !
i rights before the law, is demanded by I
the very form of our Government; and i't !
is a blistering stain ufam our nationality
that slavery has leen enabled, even until
the noontide of the nineteenth century i
to deform our civil |K>licy, and in mam'
tales to deny equal justice to a 1-irire
class of people. To maintain our nation il
credit, our faith with ~U r wounded am
>ra\e soldiers, and to forbid the assume- i
',!! r Jdfa r rt ° f fh ° ,k ' ht ™ntractedf£
• ■ ruielhon, are propositions too clearly
In harmony with the purposes of the neo
} e and the solemn duty of the Govern
i. <_n-, to require elucidation.
I bene are tlie issues involved in the
amendnients. They are intend
ed guarantees in the future against the
i',T % ihLe Wr °V- S ; llread - v ,on -suitered.
, . ,- v arr ' ' n fact, elements which
when th"rl h,to olir law

P'l-siniH jieriod, is my earnest desire n.ui
\ n • t .j end niy I,u,n bleefforts will be giv
en with untiring zeal to the atlvocarv of
all ? em hnentß, and the sun- '
e candidates who are identified ,
wiLli them. 1 am glad to know that the
great Union party, that has guided the
Government so faithfully, even in the
darkest hour of the war, and through
whose instrumentality the measures were
devised to preserve our beloved Union, is
cordially united in the support of these
amendments, JUS also is our distinguished
candidate for Governor —General Geary.
Yieldiug to 110 one in veneration for the
great charter of our liberties, I should not
favor changes in its text for light or triv
ial causes, but the late rebellion against
the Government lias made it our duty to
incorporate into the organic law such
provisions for the future safety and pros
perity of the Republic as have been indi
cated by the light of recent experiences.
The issue is fairly before the people.
Other issues, which in past struggles
divided us, have passed away. .Slavery
is dead. After a careerof'iningicd power
and arrogance, it died amidst the throes
of the cruel war which it originated, jind
our Constitution has already been so
amended as to prohibit it forever in the
United States.
The l.ast great struggle to gather the
liberal and just fruition of the sacrifices
of the late war, will lie decided by the ver
dict of the people of the several States in
the coming elections, and I cannot doubt
the issue after the fidelity they iiave
shown in the past, fkiuco the failure of
the Suites to act in concert and at oimeoii
the amendments, i do not regret that tiie
question of reeonslruction goes to the
highest tribunals known to our institu
tions—the people. And when they shall
have declared, niillion-tongucd. in favor
of the amendments as 1 must believe they
will, their ail monitions to the .States stiil
struggling to make the war fruitless, will
be too jotential to be disregarded, and the
results will be accepted promptly by
friends and foes in the late war.
Should the loyal .States, or, indeed, any
considerable number of them, unite iii
calling extra sessions of their legislative
bodies to ratify the amendments, I shall
very heartily unite with them, regarding,
as 1 do, the speedy adoption of the amend
ments as the greatest blessing that can be
bestowed upon our whole country.
Very resieetfully, your obedient ser
vannt, * A. G. CURTIS.
Col. Fit. JORPAN,
Chairman I nion Stale Central Commit
tee, Philadelphia.
Mr. Morrell, of Johnstown.
The nomination of D. J. Morrell, Esq.,
by Cambria county, as a candidate for
Congress, has already caused any number
of attacks and inuendoes upon that gen
tleman by tlie copperhead papers of this
district, which evidently fear him. The
Johnstown Democrat lately made the fol
lowing bare facet I assertion, which was of
course intended for effect outside of Johns
town :
The operations of the Cambria Iron
Company are so connected with the mam
moth stores of Wood, Morrell & Co., that
a very large proportion of the wages are
absorbed by these stores, anil compara
tively but little money is paid out for wa
ges. The percentage charged on goods
furnished to pay for labor is said not to he
small, as probably the "pass'' book in the
hands of the poor laborer eat. tell. Flour
is fourteen or fifteen dollars per barrel
and fresh beef twenty-five cents per pound
at their stores.
Mr. Morreli replied to this billingsgate
as follows:
The above statements are wholly incor
rect. Thecash disbursements of the Ca
mbria Iron t 'ornpany for labor alone amount
to over sloo,o-w per month, being from
50 to 75 per e*ut. of the entire earnings of
its workmen.
Wood, Morreli & Co. are general mer
chants, selling goods to theeoinmunity at
large, as well as to the employees of "the
works. They have not two* prices for
their goods. The day laborer who ob
tains them in adrmire of his pay and the
wealthy citizen who pays cash for Ids
purchases receive the same attention and
get their supplies at the same cost. No
employee of the Company is compelled to
purchase of Wood, Morreli & Co.; for the
wages not taken in advance from their
stores are paid in cash on the regular pay
day of each month. It is the purpose and
practice of Wood, Morreli & Co, to sell all
their goods, of whatever kind, as low as
the market will allow, always aiming to
give the 1 est in quality, quantity and
kind. They |>ssess advantages enabling
them to do this, and the proof that they
do so is easily accessible, for their stores
are open, and whoever linds upon inves
tigation that their goods are, on the ave
rage, akmw the market prices, shall have
their supplies for nothing.
Beef is not and has not been sold by
them at twenty-live cents per pound, nor
flour at fifteen dollars per barrel. The
provisions tlicy sell are always the best
and freshest that can be obtained, and
their beef cattle the heaviest and choicest
that Western markets afford, and gener
ally cost from one to three cents per
pound more than those usually slaughter
ed for the market. Present prices, \\ hich
are the highest for a long time, are as fol
lows :
Beef—best steak and roast, 20 c. per lb.
" " boil, 18 44 44 44
Choice sirloin steak, 22 4 44 44
The rougher parts from 8 to 12 c. per lb.
Mutton—best that can be had, 14 to IBe.
Flour—Family, sl2 per barrel.
Extra, 12 50 per barrel.
Best, 13 44 "
St. Louis pastry ( but little sold), sl4.
During three-fourths of the year, butter
and provisions generally are considerably
lower than Pittsburgh quotations. Anoth
er matter to l*> noticed is, that the Com
pany has not advanced the rentof its ten
ant houses, for which it receives only
about one-third of what is paid in Pitts
burgh for similar or inferior accommoda
tions. Tdo not think it necessary to dis
cuss the merits of the Puddlers' strike.—
The workmen and the public generaliv
know that the Cambria Iron Co. have al
ways paid the best wages the selling price
of its product will allow, and this will
continue to be its policy. It is also known
that personally my sympathy has been
for the lai>oring man, and that I have
done what I could to improve his condi
tion, lighten his burdens and strengthen
him in his rights. J). J. MORRELI.,
Supt. Cambria Iron Co.
fifcg" A writer in the Democrat a few
weeks ago said the democrats of this coun
ty were in favor of eight hours as a day's
work. W hen we see democratic, employ
ers practice what this chap preaches, we'll
begin to believe it. For our part, we have
no faith in such charlatanism, there be
iug now more idleness, with a tendency
to depravity, among young and adult,
than is good for themselves or the public.
If working hours are reduced, wages
would also be reduced—a fact we think
any fool ought to know.
Rebel Representation.
The copperhead and Johnson papc
lay a great deal of stress upon the decU
tion in one of Johnson's speeches whe
he says :
j "If a traitor presents himself to eitb
House, cannot that House say to iiiu
, 'No, you cannot be admitted' into tb
body. Go back. Y\ e will not deny yot
people the right of representation, b
they must send us a loval represent
: tive.'"
We find no fault with this deelaratio
in itself, though we much question wh<
ther they ought to IK 1 admitted at all 111
; til security is given for the future and
I white basis of representation adopted
but when wo come to what constitutes .
j "traitor" in the eyes of the President, tli
1 Republican party hitlers from him in
; lie said in his "JiM February speech thai
j a /v.Ac' who took the oath of nVcrfic,vic< -
and promised to .support, the (ton rrum nt,
became a I.OYAI. MAN, and ought to be so
I regarded, consequently "traitors," in the
' President's view, must be few and far
between. On the other hand, the repub
licans contend that a loyal man means
one who was loyal during the rebellion,
and that it will be time enough to admit
loyal traitors as lawmakers after under
going some probation.
SSaV* Postmaster General Denison has
resigned, being unwilling lo prostitute his
office to the base purposes now required
from every officeholder.
Dictation by a President to Con
gross used to be considered as dangerous
to liberty, but the one man power is lair
to become as democratic as slavery was
in its palmiest days.
Justices ot the Peace who are
charging Sr cents for affidavits arc liable
to indictment, the legal charge being only
10 cents. Aeknowledenients Ac. are 'lb
cents.
feir The Dewistown Democrat is again
copying articles from the New York Day
Book. Will it lie kind enough to tell us
whether it considers the Day Book an ex
ponent of democratic principles ? Yes or
no.
Attorney General Speed has re
signed for the same reason given by Mr.
Denison, P. M. General, to wit, that tiie
administration is pursuing a policy dan
gerous to the peace and future welfare of
the country.
IPeX.. NN e hear it said some democrats in
this county find so much objectionable in
the Histories of the War. ail speaking of
the rebellion as a crime, that they have
determined to buy none but a Southern
History!
IfeiT'Thc Lewistown Democrat, after
boxing the political compass during the
past live years, last week arrived at the
same point it started from before the war,
namely, that the Republicans were the
d'sunionists, and the rebel non-coercing
democracy the Union men.
8?%,. Dan Rice has ottered himself as a
democratic candidate for Congress in the
Erie district. He ought to come into the
17th, where he could make many demo
crats believe lie was a highly persecuted
individual, having been indicted here
some years ago for stealing a dog.
Northern copperheads generally
give vent to their rebel proclivities by
wishing Stevens, .Sumner, and some oth
ers who were Union all over during the
war hung. Whenever we hear one of Jef
Davis's northern shriekers talk in this
strain, wo generally feel sorry that Jef
had them not in his clutches during the
rebellion.
ISa?"" It is stated that, on the trip of the
Mississippi steamer Golden Eagle the
mate found a large fuse shell in the coal,
which, had it Wen undiscovered and
thrown into the lire, would have resulted
disastrously. Some steamboatmcn are of
the opinion that a great many of the late
disasters have been caused by placing
shells in the coal.
Tile puddlers strike at Johnstown
has ended hv most of the hands going to
work at the Cambria Iron Works. This
foolish strike, fomented no doubt by po
litical wireworkers, has cost the puddlers
525,000 loss in labor. That they could have
had little or no cause for dissatisfaction,
may be gathered from the fact that their
earnings had been from SIOO to 6125 per
month.
fife"#' Governor Orr of South Carolina
lately made a statement to Gen. Sickles
which induced Gen. Howard to discon
tinue the principal rations issued to the
whites and blacks of that State by the
Freednien's Bureau; whereupon the rebel
governor withdrew all he had said, and
piteously beg- for a continuance of rat ions
to both whites and biacks, whom he now
represents in a starving condition.
The Selinsgrove Times during the
war and since, professed to have a rebel
correspondent at Augusta, Georgia. In a
letter dated June 18, this "correspondent"
professes to give an account of the arrest
of Wm. Bryant, editor of the Loyal Geor
gian, for swindling negroes, which asser
tion had been published in the northern
papers. As no such arrest took place
at Augusta, Georgia, it looks very much
as if tiiis correspondence was made up by
some northern rebel from the New York
Day Book, Daily News, and other sheets
which all loyal men shunned during the
war.
bill continuing the Freed
men's Bureau was vetoed on Monday
by the President, and on the same
day was passed b} - both houses by
more than tho constitutional majority.
In his veto he admits that "since the
"actual cessation of hostilities, many
"acts of violence,such perhaps as had
"never been witnessed in their previous
"history, have occurred in the States
"involved in tho recent rebellion," jet
like Cowan, who was g°iug to put
down the rebellion by sending a copy
of the Constitution to Mississippi, etc.,
Johnson is in favor of rebels acting as
judges, jurors, <te. in punishing them
selves for maltreating Union white
men and freed men !
