Zati 4pdelligeuctr. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1867 FOR JIIME: OF SUPREME 6SI I n Hon. GEoRGE SHABSWOOD, of Phila. The CamPAWL Another political campaign has been opened by the Democracy of Pennsyl vania under the most favorable auspices. The candidate presented by them to the people for the high office of Judge of the Supreme Court, is a jurist of such emi nent ability and a man of such exalted character that even his political oppo nents are forced to praise him. The op position are thus deprived of their chief weapon in the start, and being unable to distract the popular ear by keeping up a perpetual din of calumniation, they will be forced to conduct the pending campaign in a manner totally different from that to which they have become accustomed. If they should nominate the best of the candidates named by them he will still be recognized as a ma u vastly inferior to Judge Sharswood in ery qualification calculated to fit him for the exalted position to which he may aspire. It is sure, therefore, that in the candidate we will have greatly the advantage. We may expect the present contest to be made upon principle. The platform adopted by the Democratic Convention is before the people, and has already proved itself to be impregnable to at tack. The bitterest Radical newspapers In the State have not been able to pick a flaw in It. The best and the worst any of them has done is to attempt to ridicule It, as not being "sufficient ly advanced in sentiment for the times." " The sentiment of the times:" That is the ambiguous term in which Forney's Press, the Harrisburg Telegraph, and other leading radical journals take pains to disguise their disgusting and revolutionary theories. They fear to speak out plainly, and are forced to employ a set of high sounding cant phrases with which to gull simple and unsuspecting people. We hope the platform adopted by the Republican State Convention may be plain, with out ambiguity, and, to use their pet phrase, "Sufficiently advanced in sen timent for the times." If it is so the campaign will be a fair one, and on issues which cannot be mistaken or misunderstood. Of the principles in volved in the contest, and they are great acd all important, we shall speak from time to time. At present we propose to make a few practical suggestions as to how the campaign should be con ducted on our part. We can elect Judge Sharswood. Of that there is no doubt. A full poll of our vote will secure us a majority which will crush our opponents, and insure that the Electoral vote of Pennsylvania will be cast for the Democratic nomi nee for President, whoever he may be. How is a full vote to be eusured? We answer, not by what is called " a quiet campaign." We cannot expect the same amount of excitement and popular enthusiasm which character i:es a Presidential or a Gubernatorial election ; hut there must be a greater amount of hard work done. The party must be perfectly organized at once. In every township and school district of the State leading Democrats must begin the work of organization without delay. There must be no postponing until after harvest, no put. ting off duties to a more convenient sea son. The good work must be vigorously commenced at once—and it must be as vigorously prosecuted to the end. Clubs in existence during the last campaign must be reorganized immediately and new ones formed in any Election District which neglected that duty last year. A full and accurate canvass of each district must be had at an early period; lists must be nosde of the voters; every man who can be influenced must be careful. ly approached; Democratic newspapers must be widely circulated for the infor • mation of the masses—and this is an agency superior to all others if properly used; meetings must be held at proper times with the best speakers in attend• ante, and no available means of any kind must be Spared to secure the com plete awakening of the masses. The victory is within our reach. There is nothing that can by any possibility pre vent our triumph, exceptour own sloth fuluess and want of diligence. Shall we idly fold our hands and allow the enemies of our country to triumph over• A violated constitution, a broken Union, a divided and distracted coun try, a tax ridden and oppressed people all call upon us to arouse from our leth argy. Liberty lies bleeding; an irre sponsible military despotism lords it over one-half the territory of the nation ; trade languishes ; our commerce is al most swept from the ocean ; our manu factories stand idle; the agricultural industry of the richest half of our country fails to yield enough to keep its inhabitants from dying of starvation ; we are burthened beyond endurance by high prices; and all be cause a set of corrupt and mercenary fanatics insist upon maintaining their hold on power. They have fastened upon the public treasury and hang there like the horse leech, crying, " give ! give ! give !" To enable them to keep their places In spite of Oar will of a vast majority of the people, they drive white men from the ballot-box with bayonets, and lead up hordes of semi-barbarian uegroes to vote their ticket printed on colored paper. Yet we whoopposethem, avast majority of the white population as we are, permit our rights to be thus tram pled upon. Was there ever such an exhibitfbn of patient endurance, such a display of apathy by a people pretend ing to be fit for freedom? We must rise up in our might and hurl from power these infamous wretches, these bold robbers, these daring usurpers, these crazy fanatics, these insolent and de structive evolutionists. The pending political campaign in Pennsylvania is all important. It is the opening of the great Presidentid contest for 1868. There is a saying whi , h runs thus: 1 s Pennsylvania goes so gees the Union. We can carry Penn sylvania next year, if we carry it this fall. That we can carry it this fall by making a vigorous effort is absolutely certain. But we must work emdi-utly and unceasingly, beginning eNrl‘ and not relaxing a single effortuntli tltiecam paign closes. Shall we mat sure of the victory which lies thus temptingly within our grasp? Let every Democrat and eyery Conservative voter but swear to do his whole duty, and Radicalism will be forever buried in the Keystone State. Bon. Charles E. Boyle. The selection of Hon. Charles E. Boyle, of Fayette county, to preside over the deliberations of the Democratic Con vention was a tribute to one of the ablest and purest young men of Pennsylvania. He has just served two years • in the State Legislature, leading the Demo cratic side of the House, and being loved by all his party friends and held in the highest respect by his opponents. He is a young man of mark, one of the leaders of the young Democracy, who must fight the future battles of the party. As a presiding officer we have very ,rarely seen Mr. Boyle excelled. He won golden opixdone from all. Our :Cal/We. , It 'Di fortunate fOr the Democratic party that in the coming political con test they have the Hon. George Share wood as a candidate for the high office of Judge of the Supreme Court of Pentf- sylvania. We 'do 'not need to.tell *- people who or what he is. •Thougy always leading ,e quiet life, dev4ted en; . , tirely to the higher-idittles of noble profession, he is as welland as favorably known to the people of Pennsylvania as any man in the Commonwealth. He never sought politicalefernfent, but with eager zeal and earnest devotion ap plied all his great abilities to practicing, administering and interpreting the law. The library of every lawyer in the State tells the story of his great industry, his sound judgment, his scholarly acquire ments, his deep research, and his con summate skill as an interpreter of the law. His long career on the bench in Philadelphia, and his re-election with out opposition to the position he now occupies, during the bitterest period of the late reign of political proscription, furnish evidence of how he is appreci ated by those who know him best. We advocated his nomination because we b3lieved him to be the very man needed at the present time. He can be safely trusted to deal with the great legal ques tions which will be constantly coming before our courts for some years to come. We congratulate the Democracy of the State on the result of Tuesday's Con vention, and assure them that all that is needed to secure the triumphant election of Hon. George Sharswood is a vigorous campaign and a full poll of our vote. The Crawford County System The Radical Convention, which met in the Court House on Wednesday,present ed a most edifying spectacle. Brubaker's "Thug" organization had extended itself until the leaders of the concern were able to control a large proportion of the nominations for county offices. Of course, such a condition of affairs was very distasteful to all hungry poli ticians who happened to be outside of the " Thug " ring ; and reform became the watchword of those who were de lighted with the old close corporation system so long as they could control nominations. The people, the dear people, who were being cheated by Brubaker & Co., you know, were urged to assert their rights, and to take the power and the agencies for designating candidates into their own hands. Of course "the people" were ready to re spond, and they did respond by adopt ing the Crawford county system, and that in such a manner as effectually de molished the whole " Thug" fabric. Now comes a new order of things among the Radicals of Lancaster county. The territory is to be parcelled out by the County Committee into Sen atorial and Legislative Districts, and there will be most interesting scrub races all around for nominations. It is not our funeral. We have nothing to do with it one way or the other. The rival Endical factions have been cheat ing each other and using the people of the county as their tools from time im memorial. A defeated and weakened party now inaugurates the reform. What good, or whether any good will result from it remains to be seen. We shall look on at the scramble for offices and have our say about matters when ever we think proper. Democratic Lawyers The State Convention which assem bled at Harrisburg Tuesday was large ly composed of lawyers, and presented an array of talent of a remarkably high order. It is a noticeable fact that avery large proportion of the ablest lawyers of the country are members of the Democratic party. Nor is it strange that such should be the case. Trained as lawyers are to a reverence for law and a respect for established principles of government, they are less likely to be carried away by sudden gusts of political excitement than auy other class of the communi ty. Within the last ten years the Democratic party has received great accessions to its ranks from the best Liwyers of the country. They have cast in their lot with it, because they could not approve of the principles advocated by its opponents. Even in the strongest Republican counties of Pennsylvania the Democratic side of the bar is always distinguished for its ability. They are Democratic from principle, and they adhere firmly to the party because it adheres to those great truths upon which such a government as ours must depend for its perpetuity. There is no nobler or abler body of men than the Democratic lawyers of the country, and Pennsylvania has a full share of them. In a Nut Shell The resolutions adopted by the Radi cals of Lancaster county contain all the political principles of the party, and they can be condensed into a nut shell. As enunciated at the home of Thad. Stevens, they are Ist. The laudation of the military re construction bill, because it enforces ne gro equality at the point of the bayonet. 2. A demand foi• wholesale conflsca tlon. 3d. Denunciation of Horace Greeley for bailing Jeff. Davis. That is all there is in the resolutions read by a protege of Thad. Stevens, and supposed to have been prepared by the old man himself. There is nothing more in them, and there can be nothing more in an honest declaration of principles by any assemblage of Radical politici ans. Their whole doctrine can be summed up in three words. "Negro equality; confiscation." That is all there is of it ; the whole thing in a nut shell. They hope to continue their rule by means of negro suffrage and to enrich themselves by confiscation. 1011. Wm. A. Wallace The unanimous re-election of Hon. Win. A. Wallace as Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, and the extension of his term of office to January Ist, 1869, was a wise movement on the part of the State Convention. We have been thrown into very intimate a. , :ociation with Mr. Wallace since he has brad the position of Chairman of the tate Central Committee, and we bear willing testimony to his prudence, his political sagacity,h is energy,his business capacity, his ability and his fitness in all respects for a proper discharge of the duties of a most. important position. He has marshaled the Democratic hosts in such a manner as must go far toward giving us the victory which now lies within our grasp. !laving toiled faith fully without reward, It was only right that he should be permitted to lead in the coming triumph. Great Reaction In Illinois The great reaction in public opinion, which is going on so rapidly through out the entire North, is well shown by the result of the late judicial election in Illinois. The second grand division of the State, which gave 3,044 majority for the Radicals last November, now elects a Democriltle Judgeby a majority of over 4,000. That is about the pro portionate rate at which the change is now going on everywhere. The days of Radical misrule are numbered. Let the Conservative voters of Pennsylva nia rally as one man in the coming con test, and we shall redeem the State most gloriously, ,Judtcla istemetation.ef the New id. - quer LBW. By request we republish the charge of Judge Miller to the Grand Jury of AA legheny county, judicially interprethig thel ‘ iquor.law pzuped ; _hy the last Legge. lature. - This opinion, tsxplaiuliijg with great clearnps, all the proybilonsof tlie ; enactmeat will be read with intei. est lby all,classes. be seen that it Is . perhips the most tringent laviof the kind ever passed. The amended prohibitory law of Maine is not one half so full of terrors to those engaged in the sale of liquor, or to those who in d ulge in the use of stimulating beverages- By the terms of this law no tavern keeper can safely give liquor to any one who may enter Lis 'house, until he is certain that such party is not intoxica ted, or under the influence of liquor. If he does so, and the party happens to ' be under the influence of liquor, no mat ter how slightly, be is liable to fine, im prisonment and forfeiture of license; and the party to whom the liquor is fur nished can be evidence to convict. The regulations with respect to selling to minors, and to babitual drunkards, which existed under the old law, are made more stringent than they were. The eighth section makes it the duty of sheriffs, constables and policemen to arrest every person whom they may find under the influence of liquor, and to take such person before a committing magistrate. It is made the duty of the magistrate to examine such inebriated person as to where he obtained the liquor. If the party is too drunk to testify he is to be locked up until he becomes sober, and then to be examined. If any one should refuse to testify as to where the liquor was obtained he is to be committed to jail for contempt, and to be wept in confinement until he is willing to answer. Upon The evidence thus obtained the magistrate is bound to issue a warrant for the arrest of the tavern or saloon keeper. Such are some of the provisions of this new'liquor law, as ably and clearly in terpreted by Judge Miller. In our opinion it is sufficiently prohibitory, and, if enforced, would relieve John Cessna from the labor of drafting any other law upon the subject. The pub lished opinion of Judge Miller is a per fectly correct interpretation of the law ; and not one particlestrouger than is jus tified by the terms of the act. Confiscation and Agrarianism Ben. Wade, Vice President of the United States, made such by a deliberate vote of the leaders of the Republican party, is determined not to be outdone by Thad. Stevens, Wendell Phillips, or any other man in his party. He not only favors the confiscation of all the property of the whites of the South, and its division among the negro voters, but goes a step beyond that. In a speech made in front of a hotel at Lawrence, Kansas, one day last week, he laid down his platform. He had been advocating the extension of the right of suffrage to both women and negroes, and wound up with these words : "Properly is not fairly divided, and a more equal distribution must be wrought out. If your dull heads, he said, can't understand this, the women will, and canvassers upon the eve of an election will have to tell the laborers what they will do for them." We hope no intelligent Republican will feign surprise at such an utterance from the man whom his party deemed worthy to be elevated to the highest po sition in their gift. It is perfectly consis tent with the avowed principles of the re cognized leaders of the organization.— They have shown an utter and reckless disregard of all law,of the Constitution of the country, and of the most firmly set tled maxims of public policy and politi cal economy. To catch votes they have been ever ready to resort to the basest prostitution of every well established principle,and have not scrupled to resort to violence whenever deemed necessary to support thel i n in power. They are bu sily engaged in a campaign among the negroes of the South, and expect by promising confiscation to rally them to their standard in sufficient force to en able them to elect the next President. They know that a vast majority of the white voters will support the Demo cratic candidate, but they fully expect to succeed by the help of their black all lies. When a party can condescend to the use of such means is it to be expected that its leaders should scruple to advocate a general division of all the property in the country. Wade says " canvassers on the eve of an election will have to tell the laborers what they will do for them." That means, they will have to promise to work out a division of property North as well as South. It matters not, iu the judgment of such men as Wade, that a new division would have to be made at each succeed_ ing election.. The freedman would sel his land, and the man whom he was addressing would step into a hotel for a drink and destroy the equilibrium at once. The hotel-keeper would be in a shilling, and his customer not only out a shilling, but with nothing to show for it. But what of that? No absurdity is too great to find advocacy at the hands of the present leaders of the Re publican party. They have shown themselves to be a set of arrant fanat ical fools ; but they are always ready to risk the best interests of society for the purpose of enabling themselves to fat ten on public plunder. If every intelligent voter would, de vote one hour in each week to a dispas sionate examination of the claims of the two great political parties to his sup port, the Republican party would shrink into an insignificant majority in every Northern State in less than a month. We firmly believe the masses of Penn sylvania are busily engaged in just that kind of study, and we therefore confi dently predict the election of Judge Sharswood. by a large majority. The people begin to see very clearly that the Republican party can not be trusted to take care of their liberties, and that their rights both of person and property are unsafe in the hands of the corrupt fanatics who control it. In Rags A itadical newspaper publishes the f,llowing suggestive item : A gentleman who has traveled through a large portion of Virginia by private convey• ance. reports that the whole mass of people whom he encountered, both black and white, are literally clothed in rags. Their shoes and head gear are in keeping with their other scant clothing. If such is the condition of affairs in Virginia what must it be in the other Southern States where the destitution is known to be greater? Is it any won der trade is dull and times hard in the North when the people of the richest half of our country are kept in such poverty by the unwise and pernicious legislation of Congress? How much longer do the laboring classes of the North intend to support a party which throws all the burthens of the most extravagant government the world ever saw upon them? The Crops The reports from all sections of the country indicate that we shall be blessed with a bountiful harvest. The laboring classes will rejoice should such be the case. To have bread reduced in price, when they are forced to stint them selves and their families in so many of the necessaries of life, will be a perfect God-send to those who have had work during the last year to make both ends meet. thaperior 14elluemeiWor We do not imagine that a single hu- Men being exists within the bounde:of thii . - United States, who still adheresrte. dm once popu/ar delusion that the 43.1aa race; is la any respect superior tO• the Congo negro.= It may be there are ii,9w ignorant and benighted °readies' buxistence, who ins that , white men and women are ell titled to take rank in the social scale as the equals of the blacks. If such pig headedly obstinate fools are to be found anywhere, they must be sought in the swamps and, canebrakes of the south, where it is supposed a few unrecon structed rebels are still dragging out a miserable existence, subsisting upon wild roots and herbs, or "procuring a precarious living by odd jobs, and by hunting and fishing." We are sure no such idea any longer prevails in the great, the free, the intelligent North.— On this side Mason and Dixon's line we are a progressive people. Led by the glorious light of Yankee intellect, exalt ed in our moral experience by the teach ings of such shining lights as the School Master, Preacher and Legis lator, Rev. Sereno Howe, we are all fast coming up to the Boston stand ard of intelligence and morality. What a glad day that will be, when it can be said of the people of Pennsylvania, that they are fit to become citizens of the " hub of the Universe." We are near- ing the goal. Glory be to God ! the good work progresses! Philadelphia philan thropists lead in the march of improve ment. Forney's Press, the great organ of the nobler race, constantly furnishes examples of the superiority of the ne gro. Let the boastful whites blush for their foolish arrogance while they can. Let any proud fool who is not fully ready to do homage to the better class of our societyfread the following item from Forney's Sunday Press, and be forever struck dumb by an abiding conviction of his personal unworthiness, and of the inferiority of the whole white race. Says this most truthful and high-toned organ of the Republican party : The committee appointed to institute the measures which finally secured not only to colored people in Philadelphia the right to use the street cars, but led to the abolition of distinctions based on color on all the rail ways of the State, have published in pamph let form a report of their proceedings, which closes with the following description of the results of their success: The conduct of our colored friends in the use of their newly acquired right has been all but faultless. With an instinctive sense of propriety, which, It is feared, would be looked for in vain in any other race under like circumstances, they now enter the cars, not with an air of exultation at having gained a disputed point, but as if the point had never been disputed. It is also remark ed that they resort to the cars sparingly, and, when notin clean clothes, voluntarily take their old places on the forward platform. The most offensive occupants of seats—the drunken, the profane, the tobacco-chewing, the unwashed and the selfish—are still of color other than black or brown. On the other hand, men who two years ago were violent in their opposition to admission, now, with almost ostentatious pertinacity, keep their places without shrinking, as if it were a point of honor, as members of a law abiding community, for them to do so, whei colored persons take seats next them. By a sort of tacit moral pre-arrann'emen where trouble and strife Vic ere with 'S'o much confidence predicted, offence is neither given nor taken. Aud even better than this.— Many men and women who, within the last few weeks, have found themselves seated for the first time beside decent and well behaved colored people, and this without harm or annoyance from the so much dreaded contact, have also found stirring within their hearts, in consequence, a new influx of Christian charity. Let such of us as have been silly and wicked enough to suppose ourselves, or our race, to be superior or even equal to the negro, pray that our presumptuous sin may be forgiven us. Brethren, let us all pray! Extremes Meet The Radical newspaper editors, " the little creatures who," as Greeley says, " God permits forsome inscrutable pur pose to edit Republican newspapers," are going off into ecstasies over the en dorsement of negro suffrage by the rebel General Longstreet, and his ap proval of the military despotism estab lished in the South. That a rebel like Longstreet, a man not remarkable for ability, should join hands with such traitors to the Constitution and such life-long enemies to the Union as the leaders of the Republican party is not to be wondered at. The two fac tions, the secessionists of the South and the Radicals of the North always were traitors. They were alike eager to de stroy our form of free government, and they labored with equal dilligence to do so. Between them they succeeded in bringing mountains of misery upon the people. It is not strange that they should unite to perpetuate the evils they created. Extremes will meet. One of the Radical Reformers Rev. Sereno Howe, in his last speech before the Massachusetts Legislature, said : "The vocation of the State Constable is one of the most reputable in the State. I, for one, consider it by no means deroga tory, but an honorable duty; and they should esteem it a privilege not only to break up rum shops, but to ferret out crimes of all other kinds. As for my part, Mr. Speaker, I had as lief have a State Constable visit my house or my rooms us any other person. They are only a terror to evil-doers." The hypocrisy of New England Pu ritanism is well illustrated in this in stance. The Rev. Sereno was very anxious that the crimes of other men should be ferreted out, but in a short time after expressing the sentiment was himself arrested for indulging in the most indecent prdctices with children. He is the popular and truthful repre sentative of a party that affects extrem est virtue to cover up the most hideous vices. Another Evidence of Our Poverty The gross receipts of six leading rail roads fell off as follows in May : New York Central $58,000, Michigan Central $31,244, Fort Wayne $70,000, Michigan Southern $70,000, Rock Island $73,194, Cleveland and Toledo $30,108. The Chicago and Northwestern shows, on 149 miles of New Road, an increase of only $46,000, which is equivalent to a falling off of fully $200,000 for the month. It is noticeable that the heaviest de crease on all these roads was in the last week of May, from whence it may be inferred that the June receipts will be, even lighter than those of May. Indeed, western men, who notice the extreme poverty of the West, do not hesitate to say that the railroad traffic in June, July and August will be the lightest on record for years. Democratic Victory The Democracy of Waterbury, Con— necticut, achieved a signal victory at the city election on the 10th. They carried the city by an average majority of three hundred. Nearly 1,200 votes were poll ed, which is a much larger vote than that of last year. The vote for Mayor last year was, Rockwell 608, Snow 311. This year the vote for Mayor is, Joseph B. Spencer, Democrat, 707; Charles B. Merryman, Radical, 475. On all the Al dermen the Democratic majority Is con siderably over 300! and on some, over 830. Last year the Democratic ticket was defeated in Waterbury, and the people, after one year's trial, got hearti ly sick of that sort of "reform." THAD. STEVENS has written a letter urging the assembling of Congress in July to make more stringent rules to be applied by the military satraps to the white people of the South. As the old wretoh nears the grave he becomes more and more vindictive. We are convinced that, if he could be induced to change places with the Devil, hell would gain n malignity what it lost in ability. 11444401111,011111111VAMISthe N The Republican newspapers of the inbuntry are full of accounts of the pro gresi being made in converting the ne-_ groes of the Southern States to the RaAjk faith. If they are to be ballet - 411C Vie political canvass in thediffbrent military districts is progressing ;post . satisfactorily. The agencies employed . *ii , of the most effective aharachat, and the campaign is beinecarried oit ously. The Freedmen's Bureau, with its multitude of salaried officials, has occupied the ground ever since the con elusion of the war. Every one of its employees has been active, zealous and efficient. That concern was re-enforced by the last Congress. The command ers of the military districts are ex pected to act as Radical head centres, and all their horde of registrators, clerks, civilian attaches and sol diers understand that the work allotted to them is to prevent such white men from voting as will not vote for Radical candidates, and to see to it that negroes are driven to the polls en masse, with Radical tickets in their hands, printed on paper of a peculiar color, or otherwise marked so that there can be no mistake as to how they vote. If, we say, the Republican press is to be believed, this new fangled political campaign is progressing in a manner which is highly satisfactory to those who expect to profit by it. They feel that their rule in the great ➢fiddle .States is about at an end; but they cond. dently expect to elect the next President by the combined votes of New England, the negroes of the South and two or three of the extreme Northwestern States. That the will of a vast majo rity of the white voters of the country may be defeated by such a combination, we must admit there is great reason to fear. But we intended only to call attention to the current cost of the gigantic po litical campaign thus being carried on in the interest of the radicals. Unfor tunately we have not the data at hand to enable us to make a full exhibit of the items. We can only give a rough estimate of some of the totals ; but we are sure our figures will be found to be below rather than above the mark. Take the following as the basis of a calculation as to the amount being an nually paid by the working men of the North to enable the leaders of the Re publican party to control the votes of the emancipated negroes Annual expenses of Freedmen's Bureau 812,000,000 Annual salaries of five Military Gov ernors Annual salaries of staff officers Annual cost of thirty regiments of soldiers Cost of registering negro voters Actual annual expenture of cash... 562,125000 We are confident theabove statement falls far below the amount of cash be ing drawn from the treasury of the United States to enable the leaders of the Republican party to carry on the political campaign among the negroes of the South. Yet the figures must appal the tax-payers. It is reasonably certain that more money is being ex pended in this way than was appropri ated to carry on the entire government during any year before the war. Were we to go into an estimate of the entire losses occasioned annually by the interference of the radicals with the industry of the South, the figures would swell to hundreds of millions. We might safely estimate the diminution in Southern products at $2.00,000,000 per annum ; the loss resulting therefrom to Northern manufactures and commerce at $100,000,000; the loss in excise duties and internal revenue at $100,000,000 more ; and the column would go on swelling as we summed up the account. We ask the working white men of Pennsylvania to do a little cyphering for themselves. Let them try to make an estimate of :the amount they are each annually paying to enable a few corrupt fanatics to bolster up their fail ing power upon the votes of a set of semi-barbarian negroes. When they have the thing cyphered out, let them say whether they are willing to pay so heavy a tax for so unworthy a purpose. The Law to be Vindicated We are much gratified to learn that an Executive Order is being prepared in accordance with the able Opinion of Attorney General Stanberry, restrain ing the Military Commanders in the South from removing civil officers, and restoring such as have been replaced. The Cabinet are said to be almost, if not quit,e a unit on the question. ThelPre sident and his Attorney General de serve the thanks of the entire Nation for the course they have pursued. The civil law must be preserved inviolate everywhere. It can not be safely tram pled under fooc in the South any more than elsewhere. Opinion of the Attorney General. We publish to-day a carefully prepared synopsis of the opinion of the Attorney General upon the powers of the Military Governors in the South. It will be seen that he holds that the military authori ties are to act only in co-operation with the Courts in preserving order, except in cases of extended riots or general insurrection. He emphatically denies that they have the right to remove civil Governors or officials. All will read the opinion, and no man with a proper re spect for law, or any love for liberty, will fail to endorse it. General Sickles knows that the Demo crat does not buy liquor by the gallon—E:- press. The pretended friend of Temperance who wrote that knows more than one Democrat in Lancaster who does buy J. B. whiskey by the gallon. He knows its flavor well, and can tell how many glasses he can hide before ceasing to be able to keep an accurate count. We ad mit that Democrats are not so much given to drinking behind the door, as are those who advocate the passage of prohibitory liquor laws. Letter from Judge Woodward Hon. George W. Woodward, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, took his de parture yesterday for Europe, says the Philadelphia Age, to which country he makes a brief visit. Our best wishes attend this distinguished jurist in his journey abroad. We but echo the opinions of all our citizens, when we say that the Chief Justice has discharged the duties of his high judicial station with the most signal ability and fidelity. He expects to return home in time to sit at the November term of the Supreme Court. His commission as Chief Justice will expire, we understand, in Decem ber next, at which time, we doubt not, the Bar and the public generally will take some appropriate notice of his long and faithful services as a Judge and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. On the eve of the departure of Chief Justice Woodward for Europe, writing a business letter to a gentleman of this city, he takes occasion to speak of the nomination of Judge Sharswood for Justice of the Supreme Court. We are permitted to make the following extract from the letter, which is dated— ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL, N.Y.,} June 12, 1867. Last night I wasratified by receiving two telegrams from Harrisburg, informing me that Sharswood was nominated for my place. lam exceedingly glad that the Con vention has left me off, and has nominated so good a man. No better choice could have been made; and it is not at all probable that any competitor can be put up ag:ainst him who will render the race even doubt ful.

The Attorney General of the United States has given to the President his opinion upon the powers of the Southern Inilitarycenknandm.. ThOeptnion,inquite, lengthy, .: . adV we Dir;;Staxiberyle;ton- r , chtaions, - omitting his argutilects, would not intetest thrrgeneralieadet.: The Attorney General. after citing the, provisions of th' tioriginhl Reconst ruction act (the Supplementary act relating merely to the duties of the military officers in the matter of registration and elections, and no question having arisen under it), says: We see clearly enough that this act con templates two distinct governments in each of these ten States—the .one military, the other civil. The civil government Is recog nized as existing at the date of the act. The military government is created by the act. Both are provisional, and both are to con tinue until the new State constitution is framed and the State is admitted to repre sentation in Congress. When that event takes place, both these provisional govern- I ments are to cease. In contemplation of this act, this military authority and this civil authority are to be carried on together. The people in these States are made subject to both, and must obey both in their respec tive jurisdictions. Under the Reconstruction act, the powers granted to the military commander are: the power or duty to" protect all persons in their rights of person and property, to sup press insurrection, disorder and violence, and to punish, or cause to be punished, all disturbers of the public peace and crimi nals:" and he may do this by the agency of the criminal courts of the State, or, if neces sary, he may have resort to military tri bunals. The Attorney General sees in the Recon struction act, no authority, nor any shadow of authority, for interference with any other courts or any other jurisdiction than crimi nal courts in the exercise of criminal juris diction. There is no provision, even under the plea of necessity, to establish, by mili tary authority, courts or tribunals for the trial of civil cases, or for the protection of such civil rights of person as come within the cognizance of civil courts as coutradis tinguished from criminal courts. In point of fact, there was no foundation for such a grant of power, for the Civil Rights act and the Freedmen's Bureau act, neither of which is superceded by this act, made ample pro vision for the protection of all merely civil. rights where the laws or courts of these States might fail to give full, impartial pro tection. He finds no authority anywhere in this act for the removal by the military com mander of the proper officers of a State, either executive or judicial, or the appoint ment of persons to their places. On the contrary, the act clearly enough forbids it. The regular State officials, duly elected and qualified, are entitled to hold their offices. They, too, have rights which the military commander is bound to protect, not author ized to destroy. We find in the concluding clause of the sixth section of the act that these officials are recognized, and express provision is made to perpetuate them. It is enacted that "in all elections to akly office under such provi sional governments, all persons shall be entitled to vote, and none others, who are entitled to vote under the provisions of the fifth section of this act; and no person shall be eligible to any office under such provi sional governments who would be disquali fied from holding office under the provisions of this act." This provision not only recognizes all the officers of the provisional governments, but in case of vacancies very clearly points out how they are to be filled, and that happens to be iu the usual way, by the people, and not by any other agency or any other power, either State or Federal, civil or military. He finds it impossible under the provis ions of this act to comprehend such an offi cial as a Governor of one of these States appointed to offi - by one of these military commanders. ', , e law takes no cognizance of such an offic . d, and be is clothed with no authority or eulor of authority. What is true of the Governor is equally true as to all the other legislative, executive and judicial officers of the State. The Attorney General goes on to say: I must not be understood as fixing limits to the power of the military commander in ease of an actual insurrection or riot. It may happen that an insurrection in one of these States may be so general and formi dable as to require the temporary suspen sion of all civil government, and the estab lishment of martial law in its place. And the same thing may be true as to local dis order or riot in reference to the civil govern ment of the city or place where it breaks out. Whatever power is necessary to meet such emergencies the military commander may properly exercise. In the suppression of insurrection and riot the military commander is wholly in dependent of the civilauthority. So, too, in the trial and punishment of criminals and offenders, he may supercede civil jurisdic tion. His power is to be exercised in these special emergencies, and the means are put into his bands by which it is to be exercised : that is to say, " a sufficient mil itary force to enable such officer to perform his duties and enforce his authority," and military tribunals of his own appointment to try and punish offenders. These are strictly military powers, to be executed by military authority, not by the civil author ity or by civil officers appointed by him to perform ordinary civil duties. If these emergencies do not happen, if civil order is preserved, and criminals are duly prosecuted by the regular criminal courts, the military power, though present, must remain passive. Its proper function is to preserve the peace, to act promptly when the peace is broken, and restore order. The Attorney General is of the opinion that a military commander has no power under the act to change the laws in force.— 1 He says the military c mmander is made a conservator of the pea e, not a legislator.— His duties are milita y duties—executive duties, not legislative duties. He has no authority to enact or declare a new code of laws for the people within his district un der any idea that he can make abetter code than the people have made for themselves. Congress saw fit to change these laws in certain grave particulars, leaving the other laws in full force, and reserving to " the paramount authority of the United States" to modify or abolish the same. There is no legislative powergiven under this Military bill to establish a new crimi nal code. The authority given is to try and punish criminals and offenders, and this proceeds upon the idea that crimes and of fences have been committed; but no per son can be called a criminal or an offender for doing an act which, when done, was not prohibited by law. But as to the measure of punishment, it is left altogether to the military authorities, with only this limitation, that the punish ment to be inflicted shall not be cruel or unusual. As to crimes or offences against the laws of the United States, the military authority can take no cognizance of them, nor in any way interfere with the regular administra tion of justice by the appropriate Federal courts. 45,000,000 5,000,000 Attempt to Murder---A Man Found Near the Fennsyivanin Railroad in an In. sensible Condition. On Tuesday afternoon the repair hands on the Pennsylvania Railroad discovered a man lying near the track, about four miles west of Miftlintown, in a place known as the "Narrows." His head was shockingly beaten, and his face presented evidence that he had also been shot, there._ being a bullet mark across the forehead, and one of his cheeks was burned with powder. He was alive, but unable to give any account of himself. IL is believed au attempt had been made to murder him, as near by were stones covered with blood—supposed to have been used in striking him on the head. There were also evidences that he had been placed between certain rocks, and stones thrown upon his body, thus burying the man alive. When found he had on a black frock coat and a pair of checked pants. His hat and boors were gone. The employees on the road state that on Monday they were pleased by three men who were together, and a few hours later Iwo of the three were seen returning through the "Narrows," one of them carrying a pair of boots. There seems to be no doubt that this party attempted to murder and then robbed the man found. The unfortunate individual was a man of 25 or 30 years of age, and seems to have been;a stranger in the neighborhood where found, as no one knows anything about him. He was removed to the Pennsylva nia railroad company's sick room at Pat terson, and is there receiving every atten tion that can b. bestowed upon him. It is thought he may recover.—Harrisburg Tel. Black Republican Voters In Trouble. The Washington correspondent of the Sunday Mercury says : The negroes who swarmed to this city from all sections of Maryland and Virginia, have, in a measure, gone home; yet there are several hundred here, who have been endeavoring to find employment, and have thus far been unsuccessful. Every day they cluster in crowds around the steps of the City Hall, and there lazily sun their pestiferous carcases. As long as there is a Freedmen's Bureau, they can obtain all they desire to eat, and as for raiment, any old duds or cast-off rags will suit them. These deluded negroes were made to be lieve that by coming to the city and voting they would at once be employed at some light duty around the City Hall, or else be employed as policemen; and this is one of the reasons why they take up their quar ters in this section of the city. Africans Looking Towards Africa. At Monday's session of the Baptist Gen eral Association, held In Lynchburg, Mr. Reed stated that in many parts of the coun try the negroes have come to learn and manifest great interest about Africa, and in a recent interview with General 0. 0. Row, ard he was assured that all colored people who may wish to go to ttfrica will be sent free of cost to any part of Liberia., The Freedmen's Bureau will send them to any part of the United States, and the Colordzas tion Society will take them to Africa. 'ottlirealtew Liquor taw . . Judge Miller, of Allegheny county, in a ' recent charge to the Grand 'Jury ; inter preted the liquor lsw,:passed by the last Legislature as fellows: --', • . It requires licensed persons, at all times, to prevent disorderly conduct in their houses, as far as lies in:their power ; and to 'enable thoim to do se, they are required, immediatelit upon the 'Occurrence of any disturbance, to callin ,e police or any constable; or sherlfr,'Wh th oltre bound to obey such call and renters such disorderly,per son or persons, and shut up the house if need be, till the disturbance is over. SEC. 2 provides against selling or per mitting to be sold or given away, any in toxicating drink of any kind, to any minor or apprentice. Tbequestion whether or not the party is known at the time to be a minor or apprentice is immaterial. Ignor ance on this point will not excuse. SEC. 3 forbids the sale or giving away of any such' drink to an habitual drunkard, or to any intoxicated person, under the in fluence of liquor. Under this section, a tavern or restaurant keeper can not safely give liquor to any stranger entering his house, until he is certain that such party is not already intoxicated, or under the in fluence of liquor. If he does so, and the party happens to be under the influence of liquor, all the penalties of the act are incurr ed, which are severe; and the knowledge or absence of knowledge of the fact of intoxi cation would be immaterial. Nor is the de gree of intoxication material : the penalty would be incurred, however slight the de gree, ifit existed at all. The same precaution will be necessary in any case where the party is not intoxicated, but commences drinking. Care must be taken to furnish no more liquor the moment that which is already furnished begins to have an intoxi cating effect. SEc. 4 puts it in the power of every hus band wifd, or parent and child, to prevent each other from procuring any intoxicating drink from licensed houses oi any kind. To eflect this, all the husband has to do to pre vent the wife, or the wife the husband, or the parent the child, or the child the parent, is simply to forbid the licensed party to furnish such drink to such relative. No formality is required as to notice. Either verbal or written notice will suffice, and if the notice or prohibition is violated by the licensed party, the consequences to him are serious; and the question whether such re lative so forbidden to be supplied is a drunk ard or not is wholly immaterial. The law places parties holding these domestic rela tions mutually within each other's power as regards procuring strong drink, and punishes the party furnishing it contrary to such prohibition. SEC. 5 requires all bars or places of sale to be closed at midnight, and not open on Sunday at all. SEC. 6 provides that conviction for a dis regard of any of these provisions shall, ipso facto, work the forfeiture of license. SEC. 7, as already stated, makes it the duty of all policemen, and constables and sheriff to the enforcement of this law, end to act on their own observation, or the sug gestions of others in arresting its violators, who are to be taken before a magistrate. SEC. 8 makes it the duty of policemen, constables or sheriff to arrest every person found intoxicated either on the streets or in places where drink is kept or sold, and to take them before a magistrate, whose ditty it is to interrogate the party arrested, if not too drunk, e. to where, and from whom, and under %, hat circumstances he procured his drink. If' the party is too drunk to an swer this he is to bo locked up or comitted till sober, and then interrogated in order to ascertain whether the party furnishing the liquor was licensed, or if licensed i whether it was furnished when the 1 party was already intoxicated or under the influence of liquor, or the liquor ,I had been forbidden by the relatives. In l any of which cases the party so furnishing Ithe liquor would be subjected to the proper i punishment. The party intoxicated and so i arrested is bound to furnish this information ; under oath, and if he should refuse so to do 0 when sober, it would of course be the duty ; of the magistrate to commit him for con ; tempt until he complied. Besides the pen alties already mentioned, 1 SEC. 10 makes any violation of the tict a , misdemeanor punishable by fine and im prisonment. A neglect by policemen or magistrates would also be indictable as a k misdemeanor. But these penalties to be imposed by the Criminal Courts are perhaps not the most serious consequences that may result to some from a violation of the law. SEC. 9 renders the party offending liable to be sued in any civil court for all damages which may be sustained by any one in consequence of sale to parties to whom sale is prohibited; that is to say, sales to minors, apprentices, habitual drun kards, parties intoxicated and under intlu once of liquor at the time, and parties whose relatives or relative, as above named, have forbidden the sale. To a responsible restaurant or tavern keeper this civil lia bility might prove disastrous, and even to one who is not responsible it might prove exceedingly troublesome. He could not get rid of a judgment for such damages, except by imprison ment, and discharge under the insolvent laws, and then his bail for license must suffer to the extent of their bond. Take, for example, the case of drink furnished to a husband whose wife had forbidden it, and becomes incapable of labor or the sup port of his family, or becomes intoxicated, and in consequence meets with an accident, causing physician's bills and loss of em ployment; or in his intoxication commits some depredation upon the person or prop erty of others, causing his arrest, imprison ment, and loss of life, etc. It is easy to see the measure of damages a jury would mete out against the party furnishing the drink in such case. The wife and children, and perhaps the husband himself, or party to whom he did violence, would each be en titled to their appropriate damages. Sharp Shooting Between Counsel. At a county court, held not a hundred miles from this city, a distinguished mem ber of the bar, in appealing to the court for the discharge of his client, wound u with p the statement that if the court sent him on for further trial, a stain would be left upon his character that could not be washed off "byall the waters of blue ocean, and all the soap that could be manufactured from the ponderous carcass of the Comtnon wealth's attorney." To this, the ponder ous attorney promptly replied that, while he "deemed it foreign to the case at bar, he desired to advise the court if they thought it advisable to boil his body into soap, that they should look to the opposite counsel for the concentrated lye out of Which to make it!" Court, bar and spectators exploded, and our informant knoweth nothing more even now.—Lynchburg News. Tw•o Clindren Fall front a Cupola of a A shocking accident occurred yesterday afternoon at Bay Ridge, whereby two chil dren, through the negligence of a nurse, will probably lose their lives. The facts of the occurrence are stated as follows : Resid ing at the Bay Ridge Hotel is a family from this city, consisting of a Mr. Archer, his wife and three children, one an infant, the others a boy and girl, aged respectively seven and three years. Yesterday after noon Mr. and Mrs. Archer went to church, leaving the children in their room in the care of a nurse employed for that purpose. During their absence, however, the woman it is stated, left the little ones alone in the apartment while she went down stairs to gossip with the servants of the hotel. But while she was thus amusing herself the lit tle boy and girl left the apartment, and as cended a winding stairway leading to a platform in a cupola or observatory on the roof of the house. Having reached the top, however, and attempting to return, both of the children fell from the platform at the cupola top to the floor beneath. The girl struck on her head, fracturing the skull so badly that the brains oozed out. The boy suffered severe bruises about his head and body. Medical attendance was promptly summoned, but at last accounts the life of the girl was despaired of, and the boy was in a very dangerous condition.—N. Y. Her.
