NEGRO SUFFRAGE LAID OUT COLD IN

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES IN lOWA,
01110 AND KANSAS.
Now Let the Earlteal Dlsnutonists De-
pose the President It They Dare.
The elections which were hold yesterday
resulted in the complete route of the Radi
cals at all points.
In Connecticut the Democracy carried the
State by an increased majority, in spite of
the almost superhuman efforts of the Radi
cals to redeem it.
In Michigan the Radical State Constitu
tion was defeated by a majority of over ten
thousand. Even Michigan declares for a
white man's Government, and rebukes im
peachment.
In lowa, Ohio and Kansas, the tide of
Democratic victories sweeps on unobstruct
ed as is shown by the elections in their prin
cipal cities.
The skies are bright, and the Presidential
campaign opens gloriously. Grant's name
fails to give any increased strength to the
Radical party, as is abundantly proven by
the following returns;

Wilo Is the American Consul at Tunis, In
'referenee to the famine in the Northern part
of Atrium Ile says
"The famine Is owing to the failure of the
crops I'm the last three years, a failure
which was the result or the draught find
which, In a country and climate like thatof
Tank, where there are no inland waters
and where no system of artificial Irrigation
a any utility or extent exists, is one, It not
the yreatovt, national calamity that can be
fall the people. For revolutions and wars
in such a country and under such a Gov
ernment, though they may not dually grind,
still are certain to leave the country in no
worse state than before; for the Blmple rea
son that anything worse is Impossible. TLIC
whole of North Africa, and Tunis and Al
geria In particular, have mu:loved from this
draught, In Tunis (the city) which Is the
Capital of the Regency of Tunis and lute a
population of about :100,000, the mortality
ruin starvation alone has for two months
been between 100 and 200 per day, and
during the .10 days ending February 10,
tiering which space the famine wits at Its
helglith and ns yet no assistance had been
given, 8,2:10 persons perished. In the sur
rounding country the mortality was even
greater than In Mu city, but there have been
no means to est imate the numbers who have
perished During this time the sconce fully
reallud and even rivalled in their horrors
the necountH we read in ancient history and
the Bible of the Plague and flUllitleA flat
have visited different nations, which is
owing, it must be remembered, to a form of
government which in fact is the same In its
effects as the governments of those nations
of antiquity. Were we not assured of their
truth, the accounts would seem fictitious,
so horrible are they. It was at one time
impossible to walk through theatreete with
out meeting at almost every turn one or
more dead bodies.
In the city these wore removed every
morning by the ' dead cart,' ; but outside
the gates no such measures were taken, and
the gprpses were so numerous that not the
sligfftest excursion could bo taken without
meeting the most sickening and disgusting
sights. Some bodies were found half de
voured by the dogs, and these things, if you
remember, are the 'abominations ' of the
Mohametan religion.
Efforts have been made to relieve the
people, but none have had any marked
success. Tho Jews in the city have done a
great deal, and the Christians all in their
power, but they aro few in numbers. On
Christmas day my Uncle distributed a
largo quantity of meat and bread at the
Consulate Gates; but though he had em
ployed eight guards to enforce some regu
larity in the distribution, the sight of food
was - so maddening to the unfortunate starv
ing wretches that they were not to be re
strained ; but overpowering the guard they
threw themselves upon the food with a feroc
ity and recklessness that passes description;
uttering loud cries they fought with each
other like wild beasts, and the scene in the
consulate court was horrible and disgust
ing, and yet at the same time heartrending.
This year there have boon abundant rains
and the country which was brown and
parched is beginning to assume a green ap
pearance again. But as no orops can be
taken in until June or July there is still
starvation staring the people in the face.
Subscriptions have been raised in England,
but subscriptions are too tardy a relief
where two hundred people die per day of
starvation.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD BILL.—Mr. Cuts.',
Trout the Committee on Roa•ls and Canal,
introduced In Congress on the 2Sth ultimo,
a hill authorizing the construction of a new
railroad from Washington to the Schuylkill
river, Schuylkill county, this State. It Is
provided that the road shall run from
Washington to the Northern Central rail
road, and thence, by way of Marietta in
this county, to Lebanon and Pine Grove,
and thence to a point on the Schuylkill
river in Schuylkill county. The title of the
company is "The Washington and Penn
sylvania Railroad Company." The follow
ing citizens of this State uro named us cor
porators; Jas. Duffy, Andrew Davis, G.
W. Cole, Augustus Boyd, L. 11. Allen,
Rat chlf, 11. Barman, J. J. Conner, Chas,
Ilaker, N, Reitzinger, S. Filbert, D. R. Mil
ler, W. M Randall, G. Dawson Coleman,
F. F. Worth, A. Withehn, and A. R. Bough
ter. The bill was referred to the appropri
ate committee. If this new railway should
be constructed, this city will have direct
railroad communication with Washington;
and on the completion of the anticipated
Lancaster and Delaware Railroad a now
through route will be established between
New York, the commercial, and Washing
ton, the political metropolis of our country.
The advantages of such a railway to the
fertile districts through which it must pass
can hardly be realized; the products of the
great ItRUPROIIO valley of this State would
he brought within easy reach of the New
Yoric markets, while the development of
the vast mineral resources of Eastern Penn
sylvania would be greatly encouraged and
accelerated. •The road would also, In the
event of a win• with sotne foreign power,
prove of great advantage to the Govern
ment in facilitating the transfer of troops
and military stores from New York city
and the States North to the National Capi
tal. This feature of the new railway is
rendered still more important from the ao
cessibllily the Philadelphia, Wilming
ton and Baltimore Railroad to the enmity's
vessels in c a se of a war with a great mari
time power like England, as a naval vic
tory won by them on the Chesapeake would
seriously interrupt communication be

ment.
TILE INDIAN LAND CLAIM.—Our renders
wit! recollect that a notice of on Indian
named Peter hex letter, claiming a large
body of land along the Conestoga creek, it
this county, was published some weeks ago
in the Intelligence) , . The following article
in the Philadelphia Inquirer effectually dis
poses of the right of lioxtetter to the laud
in question. The whole story indicates gross
ignorance of the law and the facts In refer
(Mee to the Pennsylvania Indians. The
Pettus were the owners of the land until
17h4, and all the titles to land In Lancaster
county are probably derived from them.
The objections that might be raised against
Doxtetter's claim are disposed of by con
fusing the common law in reference to In
dians on the Plains, lie contends that he
owns the land in fee, since the statute of
limitation does not run against Indians;
admitting that the grant was made to the
Conestogas, of which there Is great doubt,
the title was Imperfect and was lost by non ,
user. The point that the United States re
gards the Indians as foreign nations does
not affect the old thirteen States, who have
never recognized tribal rights.

NEW PATENT.—Christian H. Brady, as
signor to himself and to Wm. Brady, of
Mount Joy, has received letters patent for
en improved corn sheller, dated March 31st,
1868, No, 76,154. This is for an improve
ment on his former patent, No. 08,941, and
is one of the most neat, convenient and de
sirable inventions of this inventive age. It
affords real pleasure and pleasant amuse
ment in performing a useful task, so that
shelling corn with this machine, is truly a
delighttul recreation. Obtained through
the Agency of Jacob Stauffer, of this city.
DIE MODENWELT.—We bavoJust received
from S. 'P. Taylor, 3411 Canal street, New
York, the March number of Die Hoden
weit, an elegantly illustrated Magazine of
Fashions and Fancy work, published in
English at Berlin, Prussia, which is an
exceedingly fine number. Its reception at
this time, shows some delay, which was
caused by an accident to the ship having it
on board. The April number will contain
two "Pattern Sheets, and a large colored
Steel Engraving, said to be the finest pub
lished In Paris, besides being otherwise im
proved.. The terms of this Magazine are
$3 per annum. Mr. Taylor is also agent for
two other excellent foreign magazines de
voted to Fashions and Fancy Work, which
are Le Bon Ton at $7 per annum, and Le
Petit Messager, at $5 per annum each of
which is far- - superior to Harper's Bazaar.
All these Magazines can bo obtained for
812 per annum.
Ms FIRST OF APRIL.—The long
, expected first of April duly arrived
and brought with it large numbers of
persons from the country and neigh
boring towns on their annual business
visit. We saw large amounts of money
change hands at the banks and even on the
pavement; which probably caused many
violations of the commandment ra
garding covetousress. The vendors of
blackening, patent medicines, etc., held
forth in Centre Square both in the
English and German, in mostinstanees
to large audiences; who have doubtless
purchased these infallible remedies, fic., in
a quantity worthy of the merits so elo
quently claimed for them. On inquiry at
Policre headquarters, we are informed, that
as far as ascertained, but comparatively
littlepocket picking was committed. The
team drivers and those persons who had
to move made :the mast of the splendid
weather and the first of April passed with
a less amount of worry and unpleasantness
than is usual on such occasions.
ALL Foots DAY.—Many persons have
endeavored to ascertain the origin of the first
of April-being termed All Fools Day ; but
no one has fully succeeded. Some earl
'
bate its origin to the fact that in ancient
' times kings and noblemen employed men
I for the purpose of creating sport, or diver
sion for them and their guests in the ban
quet halls of their grand old castles. To
perform this office ofjester satisfactorily,
required a ready wit, and an extensive ac
quaintance with human nature and the re
', sources of language. The King's Fool or
Jester, therefore, being a person of consid
erable note in the royal household, it is
not unlikely that some particular' day was
celebrated out of regard for his merits, and
that this day, by custom, became the first of
April of each year. However, this may be,
it is certain that from a very early period
the first day of April has been considered as
a day to be devoted to all kinds of practical
joking; and this custom of sending people
on empty errands, such as to obtain a grain
of common sense, etc., and then laughing
at them is common in every European na
tion ; and wherever the people of Europe
have settled in this country the practice is
observed. It is also very singular that on
the /tuff feast held by the Hindoos, on the
31st of March, similar tricks are practiced.
In France the fooled man is called a
poisson avri/, or a silly fish, one that is
easily caught. In Scotland he is called a
gawk; and in the United States, as we all
very well know from many forcible illus
trations, the fooled victim is termed au
April foul.
RAID OF THE. PICKPOCKETS ON OLD
THAD'S FAMILY.-013:Ihe Ist of April, as she
was about starting for Washington, that
attractive colored female, familiarly known
in this community as Mrs. Thaddeus Ste
vens, had her pocket picked. She states
her loss to be us follows:
$lOO In greenbacks.
Three Mexican silver dollars.
One diamond breastpin.
A safe key.
A bunch of household keys.
Pree passes over the railroads between
this city and Washington.
It has seldom been our lot to record a
more daring outrage. What Is this coun
try coming to whoa even she who pre
sides over the household of Thaddeus
Stevens is robbed in a railroad depot, In
the city of Lancaster. Let Old Thad. see
to It that the military police which is to be
adopted ut Washington be made general
throughout the country.
NEW BANKING HousE.—We noticed that
the new banking house on North Queen
street, recently established by Messrs.
Joe ph Clarkson, John M. Stehmun, Geo.
Brubaker and Isaac W. Slokom was doing
a good business on the lot inst. The new
house is called the Mechanics' Bunk, and
the title of the firm Is Clarkson, Stehman
tt Co.
r. Isaac Slokom, one of the members
of the new firm, is well known to us, as a
gentleman of affable manners and first
clues business habits. Those who patronize
the new establishment,will find Mr. Slokom
in ever 7 respect qualified for the duties of
his position.

CATTLE Law.—We notice that the cat
tle disease is prevailing to quite an extent
in Montgomery county; it has also made
its appearance In some portions of York
county. Those who fear Its spread, by
means of cattle being allowed to run at
large on the highways, an referred to the
following law passed April 12th, 1801.1, which
should the disease make Its appearance in
our county ought to be strictly enforced.
This law provides "that no cattle or sheep
shall be allowed to ruu at large in any
township or borough where a contagious
disease prevails," and specifies the penalties
to be Inflicted upon any ono violating its
provisions,
lt.kyrixo.—Our up the river ex
changes say that the cold weather of last
week occasioned a general suspension of
the rafting business; but the weather hav
ing during the present week moderated
operations will go forward with renewed
vigor. It is also stated that copious rains
will be regiflred to raise the streams high
enough fur running lumber, the greater
portion of the snow being now melted. So
far, Uut few rafts have started for the lower
markets, and the prospects for a large run
of lumber, at an early day, is not very flat
tering.
New PATENT.—Jesse Johnson of Coch
ranville, Chester Co., has received letters
patent for an improvement ou his bolt and
rivet cutter dated March 31st 1868. With
the improvement attached, this cutter is
rendered complete, and surpasses all ma
chines heretofore patented for the same
purpose, and in a short time must become
famous with all persons needing'such a ma
chine. Patent obtained by J. W. Johnson
Attorney at Law of this city.
AN ADMIRABLE (,ATE.—We have noticed
on exhibition in Centre Square u new
patent gate, which seems to embrace in its
construction many desirable features. By
means of a simple cord attachment this
gate can ho opened and closed at pleasure,
without the disagreeable necessity of get
ting out of a vehicle or off of a horse; and
after passing through, the gate can as readi
ly be closed by the Mime arrangetnunt. The
gate is also capable of being raised at ono
and so as to permit sheep or hogs to pass
out under it, if desired, without opening
the gate itself, the convenience of hits ar
rangement will at once be appreciated by
every farmer. The gate Is simple In its con
struction being =donut of boards and with
out a mingle, mortise' and Is therefore not
liable to get out of order. Mr. Lentils, the
inventor of the gate,-has in his possession
the names of a number of the best practi
cal men in the county, who unite In stating
that for convenience, simplicity and useful
ness, this got° Is all that can• be desired;
while Its cheapness places It within the
resell of every ono.
ATTEMPTED ESCAPE.—A mulatto !lamed
James A. Hamilton, from Boston, Mass.,
who was not long since arrested in this city
charged with having committed several
burglaries and who was sent to the county
prison to await his trial, has recently made
two desperate attempts to escape from cus
tody. The first attempt was to break
through his cell Into the yard of the prison ;
and the second was by removing n quantity
or brick nail mortar to obtain access into the
corridor where by overpowering the watch
man and obtaining from him the key he
could have made good his escape. The
watchfulness of Mr. Sensenig,l the keeper,
resulted In tie discovery of both plans:be
fore they could be successfully carried out
sod Hamilton has been handcuffed and
chained in such a manner as to render In
the futtn'e Uncap° Impossible.
on.—The body of n female in
fant, supposed to be alive when born, was
found on yesterday In Hammer creek, War
wick township. An Inquest was hold over
the body by W. H. Spent, Esq,, Deputy
Coroner, when several wounds wore found
on Its head sufficient to have caused death.
The post mortem examination was made
by Dr. Henry Iteemsnyder. The jury re
turned a verdict that the child had been in
jured sufficiently to have caused death, and
then thrown Into the said creek by some
person or persons to them unknown.
ATTEMPTED ArtsoN.2.A short time ago,
some' person attempted to set fire to the
public school house at Christiana in this
county. There is a cellar under the build
ing, where wood and coal is kept; and In
this way the incendiary had piled some
wood and set it on tire. The person who
attends to•keoping up the fires, came there
In the evening, and on opening the school
house door found the room filled with
smoke, ayii upon examination he found
that it pro oded from the cellar. Itepatr:'
ing to that place he discovered the fire, and
extinguished it lust in time to save the
building. The directors of the district offer
a reward of fifty dollars for the apprehen
sion and conviction of the offenden—Lan
caster Inquirer.
MAIL ROUTES AWARDED.—The following
mail routes have been awarded recently by
the Department at Washington : From

WAGES REDIICED.—The Harrisburg Daily
Telegraph states that the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad Company have reduced
the wages of the employees in their shops.
Those who received over $2 per day have
been subjected to a reduction of from ten
to twenty per cent. on the dollar, and those
who received from $l. to $2 per day to a re
duction of from .flye to ton cents on the
dollar—an avSFage reduction of about 73-10
per cent. This measure has created con
siderable dissatisfaction among the em
ployees,
Tas Vex:Lß - Y.—The Winchester News
states that thersisno country on this con
tinent that possesses, more 'attractions for
those purchasing lands than theShenando
sh Valley. Old enough to have a settled
society it at the same time has lands noted
for their fertility and hills rich with mineral
deposits. The climate is mild, the atmos
phere pure, the waterplentiful and goods
the soil rich and productive, the society
charming and refined; and, taken alto
gether, it isalmostaparadise. It combines
the advantages both of a new and an old
country. The Valley is the place for all
people desiring to purchase comfortable
homes for little money. The lines of rail- I
road projected, and inprogress of construe-
Bon, wilt make it near to the eastern and '
northern cities, and give to farmers and
manufacturers a choice of markets. Fuel
will be cheap, there being an abundance of I
coal in every bill.
There Is no reason why this Valley should
not, in a few years, be the foremost section
on the continent. No other section possesses
the same advantages. There is not a more
healthy region in the world, and its rich •
fields, enclosed by the rock•ribbed Blue'
Ridge and Alleghenies, present a picture of !
prosperity and domestic felicity unsarpass-,
ed on this earth. '
gilt only requires that foreign capitalists
shall become acquainted with the Valley to
appreciate its many advantages. This must
be in course of time, and then immigration
will flow in upon us. Those who contem
plate removing from Lancaster county to
the West would do well to visit this Valley
and see if an advantageous place can be
found for settlement nearer borne and the
great Eastern cities than in the distant
States of the far West.
THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The
Horticultural Society met at the Orphans'
Court Room on Monday afternoon, and the
meeting proved itself ono of much interest.
After the transaction of the usual current
business, and the election of several new
members, the Society was entertained by
an essay, road by Prof.S. S.Rathvon, upon
"The Cultivation of Taste." The lecturer
contended that taste was a quality of the
organization of man which could be culti•
voted, and he did not believe that the sense
existed in the substance tested, but rather
in the experimenter.
A. Harris differed on this point with the
lecturer, and remarked that in his opinion
taste was the effect produced upon the
palate by the atomical constituents and
the elementary formation of plants and
vegetables, and he contended that there was
something inherent In the organization of
the thing tasted, which constituted taste to
our sensual system.
H. IC. Stoner likewise gave his views in
reference to taste, and considered It as some
thing which could be changed little by cul
tivation.
Before the conclusion of this discussion,
S. d. Rathvon read a plan, In which ho, de
tailed his views as to the propriety of es
tablishing, undor the auspices of the So
ciety, a horticultural magazine, and the
proposition seemed to meet with universal
tavor among the members.
On motion of H. K. Stoner, the chair ap•
pointed a committee of three, who shall, at
the next meeting, report as to the feasibility
and method of establishing such an enter
prize. On this committee the chair ap
pointed H. K. Stoner S S Itathvon and
Alex. Harris.
On motion, a Committee was appointed
to report the kinds of fruit best atiapted,for
Lancaster county. The following cornit It
tee, appointed by the chair, Dr. W. L. Dif
fenderfer, Jacob B. Garber and Jno. Hoover,
reported the following list: Apples—All
Summer, Early Harvest, Red Astrachan,
Porter, Hubbardstom'a, Nonsuch, Lancas
ter Greening, Baldwin, Northern Spey,
York Imperial and Illig's Winter Sweet.
Grapes—Concord, Martha, Roge{s—No. 4,
28—Caroline, Hartford, Prolificm Tele
graph and Clinton.
WHISKEY FRAllDS.—Eighieen barrels of
whiskey, found concealed on the premises
of John Hollinger, near Maytown, were
seized by Inspector A. C. Leonard, on the
4th inst. It is stated also that live barrels
of whiskey were found hid in the barn of
John Haldeman, near Bainbridge, and that
live barrels more of the same material were
found In the cellar under Bucher's store, In
Columbia. The brands uu these barrels
are alleged to be forgeries, no tax having
been paid.
MORE A BOUT TO It Locuiro. —The seven
teen-year locusts advertised to appear this
year, aro not Identical with the Egyptian
ocusts—in fact they are not locusts at all,
but simply a sort of grasshopper. They
have not Jaws like the locusts, and during
their brief winged state, devour nothing.
The only Injury they do Is to the young
twigs of trees, which the female stings in
order to insert her eggs. Tho twigs die and
fall to the ground. When hatched from the
egg the grub burrows In the earth and
spends the long underground life lu suck
ing roots and passing through the various
stages necessary to perfect the dying ma
chinery. At " sweet seventeen" it emerges
into society, splits its underground shell
along the buck and steps out, ready to lay
eggs, or, if of the opposite gender, to beat
his drum for a few weeks in the summer
sunshine, When the eggs aro laid and the
song sung, death closes the scone,—Patriot

FAMILY IN TROUBLE.—Isaac Smith, a son
of Thad. Stevens' housekeeper, by her for
mer husband, was caught this morning In
en attempt to rob the house of Mr. Jacob
Effinger at the corner of South Queen and
Vinestreets. He had succeeded in gaining
an entrance into a room on tlier'Second story
where, locking himself In, he commenced
searching the room for valuables. The family
becoming aware that some one was in the
house gave the alarm, when Smith to avoid
capture Jumped from the second story win
dow, but was caught by Of Mattern be
fore he could make good his escape. He
was committed by the Mayor to the county
prison in default of i 1,200 ball, to await his
trial at the next term of Quarter sessions.—
We learn that a pair of gold studs and a
valuable breastpin were stolen, We really
do not wonder that this negro took to steal
ing. Any connection with the present
Congress is demoralizing; and so close a
connection with the leader of it could not
be favorable to honesty. We suppose Old
Thad. will Bee to it that Isaac is speedily
released on ball. Perhaps he may have
some action taken in Congress in regard to
the matter. Wo wait to see.
