G. IFC G. It. Frysinoer. Lewistown, December 5, 186fi. I'residosit"• "iessase. This document was delivered to Con gress on Monday. It reiterates the sen timents heretofore expressed by Johnson relative to admitting rebel representatives, but is less bullying in tone. He appa rently desires Congress to embark in the petty business of examining rebel creden tials, and if not loyal, send them back (with mileage and pay we suppose,) al though lie, as well as all others, know that there is not a man elected in those States who can take the necessary oath. We shall publish the document next week, notwithstanding it will barely pay perusal, as it contains nothing new in any sense of the word. We want security for the future, and as the President failed to suggest any mode for attaining that, the House on Monday passed a hill by a vote of 111 to 26 repeal iti r the act giving the President power in j certain cases to pardon and grant unines- I ty to rebels. Thp Pardoning Power. A now question is likely to come up which will cause a considerable flurry tmongrebcb and their copperhead friends. It is, are pardons granted l>y the Presi dent to rebels who have neither been in dicted, tried, nor convicted of any value? 1 tie exercise of such a power has always '•von regarded as belonging to despots and tnonarehs, but is certainly not a preroga tive which the constitution confers on a "resident. As most of the important rebels wio received this favor at the hands of a are again indulging in threats or !• u.awutioiiH of republicans as they ii'i bvUore the rebellion, it is probable that Congress may declare the whole pro grannne null and void. On this subject, our copperhead friends as usual have com mitted themselves, in law, and will now have to swallow all they said in the re cent election campaign about deserters, or ; be down on their rebel friends. They tnen contended that a deserter was not a deserter unless tried and convicted, and if the same rule is applied to a rebel, of what value is a pardon? Nothing at all j —if a rebel, lie is disfranchised by law; if a relnd soldier, he is a paroled prisoner— and from either position Andrew John son cannot relieve him without the sanc tion of Congress. Verily, "whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make A S rial Incler f tie State Deserter l.aw, At the recent court in Lycoming coun ty. two election officers in Nippenose township were prosecuted for having re- < fused to take tin* vote of a deserter from I the draft. After a patient and searching ! trial, and an animated contest between the opposing counsel, the jury returned a I verdict of not guilty. Hon. A. Jordan the Law Judge of the county, is a Demo- I crat, and could not have charged thejury i otherwise than that the officers had onlv obeyed their oath, and that the State law had disqualified deserters from voting; and hence the verdict rendered. We never could understand how any elec tion officer, having regard for his oath, could undertake to nullify the State de serter law. No matter what he thought, or what politicians thought, the Supreme Court would do. It was for the time be ing the law as much as any other qualifi cation required, and until that court de cides it unconstitutional must be olieyed. There is 110 doubt whatever that every election officer who refused to take such votes but did his duty, while those who took them were just as guilty as if they had taken votes from persons who had not paid tax in two years, had not resided in the district ten days, or not in the State the required time. tar- It is officially announced that John H. Surratt, one of President Lincoln's as sassins, has been arrested in Egypt. This will give the eopperheads another chance for showing their "Christian" charily and shedding crocodile tears over a tSouth ern brother. Abuse of the Appointing Power. Hardly an exchange cornea to hand which does not announce some apjioint ment and removal from office, and as this seems to he the ease all over the Uni ted States, it is evident that the appoint ing power is no longer exercised by those in whose hands the law placed it, but has been delegated to subserve the ends of political combinations, which, likely as not, make it a profitable pecuniary busi ness. fti this way whoever pays best, or is most unscrupulous, has the leading chance, while honorable and deserving men must stand back. The corrupting influences of such a system show that sonic reform in the appointing power is necessary, and as the Constitution places if in the hands of Congress, that body will no doubt take speedy action on the subject and relieve tlie political mounte banks who now disgrace tin; offices and jKiwer they have hitherto exercised, of a portion of their troubles. Should such a law be passed, we hope ample provision will be made so that no man can Ik 1 re- I moved for opinion sake during the term i for which lie may be appointed, in this j way a postmaster, revenue or other officer | would know that for one, two, three or I four years, as the case may be, attention to ids duties would ensure a continuance in office during his term. To require him to keep pace with political weathercocks who do not know what they are from one week's end to another, is but holding out a premium to rascality. I ntler the head of "democracy advanc ing" the Democrat indulges in a fanciful article respecting the prospects of that party in the future. This is an old story, reiterated every year since 1858, during which time that party lias tried every thing from universal slavery to rebellion, until it converted strong democratic states into republican with from 14,000 to 60,000 majority. At present, the sole reliance of patent democracy or eopperheadism is in the restoration of rebels to political power, for without that band of Southern traitors "democracy" East, West and North is little more than an office seeking clan, two-thirds of whom would as soon serve under Jef Davis, John C. Breckin ridge, or some other leading rebel, as any Union President. Such a party thk i*ko- I'j.k are not yet prepared to trust with the reins of government, and so long as they Udieve treason, perjury, murder, incen diarism and robbery to be crimes, they will not. The Democrat and its allies may call the majority of thk Pkopi.k, as expressed at the ballot-box, *t, but every man of that party can turn ami ask since when iias it become patriot ic to advocate Ihe rir/htsof rebels? Why not advocate the rh/ht* of murderers, thieves, and other felons in our jails and peniten tiaries to liberty and citizenship at the same time? —they are no worse, some of them not as bad, its were thousands of rebel cutthroats with whom the democ racy is now willing not only to claim fel lowship, hut admit to Congress as rulers. But tiie most absurd part of the Demo crat's article is the statement that the result of the elections cause* 1 a shock to the National credit. We could imagine that the result shocked British freetra ders who had invested millions in rebel 1 bonds and cotton loans, and contributed a million or more to carry the elections in Pennsylvania and New York against the republicans; we could form an idea how Belmont and other copperhead aristocrats in New York and elsewhere were shocked 011 hearing the knell of their discomfiture; and rebels south, as well as in Canada, Europe, the West Indies, &c., must also have been terribly shocked in learning that a majority of the people still regard ed reU'llion as a crime—but as for tstate and National Bondholders being alarmed, that is all bosh, claptrap and moonshine. T/t',y have not yet forgotten who predict ed that greenbacks and l .ri. bonds would become as worthless as rags, and as long as they have their senses they will not trust tiie men who made those predictions with a chance of making their predictions come true. After the adjournment of Court our new Sheriff, Maj. Wm. T. McEwen, was sworn in, and 1). MeKean Contner, esq., the clever and popular gentleman who did the honors of the olliee during the past three years, retired with characteris tic politeness and good humor. Mifflin county never had, and probably never will have, a more worthy and efficient sheriff than Mr. Contner.— Democrat. 1 he Democrat also compliments Mr. Miller as a faithful officer, and in times past has done the same to other outgoing republicans. The fact is nothing else could be said with any show of truth.— 1 here is not now, and there has not been for years, a republican elected to office in this county, who lias not ...,.x „,11 the estimation of the public as sober, in t< Uigent and faithful in the performance of his duties—facts which show that the party is governed far more by principle m making selections of candidates than in rewarding politicians. The patent de mocracy might profit by the example set them, for although occasionally a good officer finds his way into position, rabid anil unscrupulous politicians, cow-boys skinners, defaulters, get fuel cheaply to the rich ore beds in this vicinity, and we predict that Lewis town, with her line water powers and other natural advantages, will at no dis tant day rival Pittsburg. The consumer of the article manufactured will reap his share of the amount saved in manufactur ing. Another faot for the farmer : We have not an acre of land within ten miles of this railroad that will not be worth, five years from to-day, if tin's road is built, at least double its present value. Your tim bered tracts, which are now almost value less, will then be of immense value. — Nothing that you can raise but you will find a ready market for. You will be in direct communication with the outside world, from which you are now complete- ly shut out, ami the only thing which will surprise you will he that you did not build the road ten years sooner. Do not let our old. men say that they have got along very well so far, and can do with out a railroad the little time they have to stay here. We are not living solely for ourselves, but for our posterity, and our country. If you never yourselves enjoy fully all of the benefits to he derived from this road, your ehildien, and your chil dren'schildrpn, will reap the rich reward, and will thank you for your enterprise. Ve could adduce many other potent reasons why the agricultural and all clas ses should come forward at once, strength en the hands of the few enterprising men that have started this great project, and build the road; but space will not permit. What we have advanced are not theories that when put in practice will prove fal lacious; they are facts, upon which the lamp of experience sheds a light, broad and clear as the noonday sun. Not a railroad built In the .State* hut will dem onstrate them to be so. We may in our next issue show some of the benefits that will accrue to the mercantile and manufacturing portions of our community, to the increase in the val ue of real estate, ami to the saving in the article of fuel alone to every citizen by ! the building of this road. We urge upon all to come forward and subscribe liberally to the stock of the road. Not as a gift, not as money thrown away, but as a safe and paying invest- I meat! If our people at home will at} mnilPV \C> firrtrtt- tli ir* j will be no trouble In negotiating the ] bonds of the company for the purchase of the superstructure and equipment. Do ! not wait for others to act for you in this j matter. Don't wait for your neighbor to | subscribe; think and act for yourself, and not adopt a do nothing policy, which might consign this enterprise to a Rip Van Winkle sleep for the next twenty i years. The Richmond Times thus comments on the reported plan for annexing certain Mexican provinces to the United States: | " If several of the provinces of Mexico shall I** sliced off from that effete empire and tacked on to this. Uncle Sam's coat > will he veritably one of as many colors as i Joseph's. We have already an awful spice of variety, both in territory and pop ulation. We have the blue'-nose-Ply mouth-Roek-codflsh consumers in New England; putrescent-looking Dutch and Germans in the Middle and Western States; white men and Christian people in the South ; Indians and polygamous Mormons in the Territories, and* negroes and mulattoes everywhere." The Altoona Tribune says Mr. Gib son was not arrested for embezzlement, nor in jail, but was taken by a police offi cer for having made threats against the detective Piukertnn. ©Si- The Senatorial question is bother ing a good many of our cotemporaries.— Having nothing to exjieet, and expecting nothing from any of the candidates, we would as soon see Cameron as Curtin, Stevens, Forney, Moorehead, M'Pherson,' Sehoheld, Pollock, or anybody else, elect ed to that p>st, but shall l>e satisfied with anybody except a copperhead. Some say Cameron is a rascal, but as there are onlv two honest men in the United States- Andrew Johnson and Governor Swan of Maryland—it would only he making choice from a lot. One thing can be said of Gen. Cameron which cannot of all other aspirants—he never desertsa friend. and since Lis connection with the repub lican party, so far as our judgment has extended, has been as true and faithful to it as any man in it. Shocking Murder.— Jacob Zook, of Lan caster, has received intelligence of the murder of bis two sons, Noun H. (former ly residing on Sporting Hill) and Abra ham H. Zook, near Vieksburg, Mississip pi, where they had gone to work on a cotton plantation. The body of Abraham had been discovered, but that of Noah had not been found at the last accounts. 1 hey were both known as exemplary men and citizens. \\ hether they were mur dered for their money, or because they were Northern men, is a matter of con jecture. As far as known the civilauthor ities had taken 110 action to discover the murderers. A YOUNG DESPERADO. The Louisville Courier gives the follow ing catalogue of crimes committed by a young man in Mount .Sterling, Ky., twenty-three or twenty-four years of age: His last exploit was, a few days ago the shooting of a black man, two shots taking effect, one in the shoulder and the other in the thigh. He was promptly ar rested, but managed to escape at night and is now at large. This young man's record, though Grief, has been peculiarly bloody. On the Sat urday before the August election of l.Sfio he killed the first victim, Lieut. Ed. San defs, of Sharps burg, Bath countv, at a pic nic near Mount Sterling. Young San ders had been an officer in the Confeder ate service. Both young men were some what under tiie influence of liquor, and the altercation between them was not of a nature that would involve, necessarily, a resort to the use of weapons. Duke killed him with a bowie-knife. For this deed he was. tried, and acquitted. His next exploit was the cutting and stabbing Lieut. Wash. Mclntyre, a gallant officer of tlie Twenty-fourth Kentucky Federal Regiment, last Christmas. Hi's next es say in blood-shedding was with a pistol. He shot and killed a negro man. He next had a second altercation with Lieut. Mc lntyre, this time shooting and killing him. His last venture in crime we have mentioned at the beginning of this no tice. 3ST O T I C E .
