Lancaster 3ntElligencer. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1871 Shall Carry Pennsylvania Sell Fall ? Shall we carry Pennsylvania next Fall? That is a question which the coming State Convention must decide. Much, very much will depend upon the character of the candidates. A mistake in the selection of our nominee for Aud it:Or-General may easily convert all our fair prospects of success into assur ances of defeat. The office of Auditor- General is one of decided importance, and the people of this State are just now in such:a peculiar mood,that some little thin 4 in the political history or the personal character of the candidates may determine whether a Democrat or u Republican shall be elected. The Democracy must put forward one of their very best men for Auditor-Gen eral. He must be no political hack with a battered reputation. lie must, above all things else, be a man of the 1110 , 4 unquestioned and aDquestionable integrity— a pure, honest, high-minded gentleman. :-uppr,se, for instance-, some man who has won for hirw,elf an unen viable reputation In the State Legisla ture :should he nominatedi.'

The Connectlent Election The election In o)ll'lu:tient was one of the most vigorously contested ever known in the land of steady habits. The Republicans fought as If the very existence of their party depended upon the result. The whole power of the na tional administration was brought to bear and money was poured out In lavish profusion. The result is very close—so close that it will take the official returns to settle the question as to who Is elected Ciovernor. THE election in Michigan seems to have excited very little interest. The Republican candidate for Judge is re ported Ito be elected by a small majority. --- ---- --- NB . A a 1111 _ r 1 , IN `‘ • iT II NESDA.Y, APRIL 5, 1871. , s , & 1 The Bneonstltutlentil Ku-Klux BILL The Ku-Klux bill now before Con gress is entitled; !' A bill more fully to enforce the ppAdslons of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and for other purposes." The very title of the act seems to have been gotten up with intent to deceive. In no sense can it be properly styled an act to enforce the fourteenth amend ment. That amendment embraces five sections. The first declares all persons born or naturalized in the United States to be citizens, and prohibits the States from making any law abridging the rights and immunities of citizens of the United States, or depriving any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or denying any one the equal protection of its laws. The sec ond section relates to representation, and has been superseded by the adop tion of the fifteenth amendment. The third section deprives certain classes iu the South of the benefit of general am nesty, and denies them the right to hold office. The fourth section relates to the public debt. The fifth section provides, in the usual manner, that Congressshall have power to enforce the provisions of the article by appropriate legislation. Republican membersof Congress have labored so far in vain to show that the new Ku-Klux bill comes within the scope of legislation authorized by this fourteenth amendment, or any other clause of the Constitution. No State in the South has passed any law violating the fourteenth article, and by that article Congress is only given power to deal with States and not with individuals.— The acts of individuals are left to be dealt with by the States. The power of Congress over the individual citizen is ! iu no way extended by any of the new ainendinents, and each citizen is still answerable for •uclr crimes a-. are de ,•eribed In this bill to the courts of the State in which the (Times [nay be com mitted, and riot to any other tribunal. Nor can a law requiring the citizen, of any `:Littl, to aiHwer before a [oiled States r'ourt for such crimes as are nlinwd, loa.sed by Congress without u Violation of the f principles of t h e Con-titution. !•,,, far 1,1.4 it pro fesses to 64. an art for the ellfor,eilient of the fourteenth arneilditient this bill is wrongly entitled, and all its provis ions must rank tinder the con,luding , 7111Uni, "'lt/ f/ . /0/' 11 , 1,4 rpo.4, 'l'lle " other porior-e," whirl! thi, hun in view are ewdly seen through the thin whirl' ha, Leer thrown over it.

Detail. Stripped of its verbiage, thls is the f o urth seetion of the proposed law. l i Does any num ill his senses believe that there now exists in the South a eondition of affairs which varrants such summitry, unprecedented, and un constitutional pr,weedings ILS til,'Me? It will not do for the advocates of this daii genius policy to shelter themselves un deracts deemed necessary during the rent heat of our late civil war. On an occasion when it bill (lull pending in the I louse for the suppression of the rebellion, and a Ittmuldietui Member Was arguing to show that it was according to tlie Con stitution, 1\ Ir. Thaddeus Stevens re marked in an undertone to a friend, "'There are only tell Republicans ill Congress who don't know that all this kind of legislation is oillside .4 . the Constitution, and they are d fools." II we then went outside of the Constitution to find weapons to save the life of the Republic, it is no excuse for keeping outside of it now to find weap ons to put down a m iserattle gang, which beyond all douhi, is niade Up of the mere rilnrall'of Southern society. Es pecially sueli a comparatively trivial !impose, wi.; should not ClOOlO IL 111011 like Gen, Grant. with powers so extreme 1111(1 unjustifiable. The ItenMerats in Congress will inter pose every obstacle to the passage of this infamous bill, but they may find them selves powerless tosave the country from the threatened evil. Grant demands such legislation, and there are not enough Independent Republicans in Congress to prevent his will from being done. There is consolation in the fact that the kingly powers which it is pro posed to confer upon him are, according to the terms of the bill, limited in dura tion to the first (lay of June, 1572. That will enable him to control the Southern States, so that he can secure a united del egation from that section to the next Ite publican National Convention. He may succeed in securing a nomination lu that way, but he 01.111ilot be re-elected. The people of this country are very weary of the miserable rule under which they now suffer, and the dissatisfaction Will increase with each unconstitutional and dangerous act of Congress. The new Ku-Klux bill will only prove to be anothtir stone about the neck of the Re publican party. Tii mu: has been a partial resumption of coal-mining in the vicinity of Wilkes barre, Lucerne county, within the past week. Several large collieries are now running there, the miners having as sented to the operators' terms without regard to the action of their association at large. Considerable shipments of coal have already been made, which have paid the increased tolls of four cents per ton per mile. Taxation In the South The carpet-baggers who made au ir ruption into all the Southern States after the war, were a needy and greedy crew. Few of them had any means of making an honest living at home, or, if they had, they were too much averse to work to pursue it. They went into the Southern States with the avowed pur pose of trading in politics, relying upon their ability to control the negro vote. By the basest means many of them man aged to be elected to office. The best white men of the South, those who have been educated and made fit to fill public positions were disfranchised, and the carpet-baggers, the negroes and a few baser and more ignorant whites had things all their own way. They filled the legislative halls of the South ern States with such motley crews as were never assembled elsewhere, for the purpose of making laws. In the South ern States before the war the pay of members of the Legislatures was small, the class of men who were chosen not being avaricious, but willing to serve in a public capacity for a merely nominal compensation. But when the ne groes, carpet-baggers and scalawags, I took the places of Southern gentlemen, they were pot willing to try their 'prep- I lice hands at legislation unless they were well paid for it. Salaries of every description were largely increased, and expenses in all departments of govern ment swelled to enormous figures. Such devices as have disgraced sorne of our Nor t hero Legislatu res were s peedily adopted and improved upon, and a reign of corruption and extravagance I began which has oearly bankrupted a I majority of the Southern States. An army of figures might be present ed whivh would startle the country. The Legidature of Florida cost for the years of 11.,:;;3 and 1491 the silt of 1 , . , • I I I for lsc. , and seven month , of 1 , ,,;n, un der carpet-bag and negro rule, the expenses of that body amounted to i t North Carolina, under t;uv.

What is needed to parity the South is a removal of all political disabilities, and a recommittal of the State gov ernments to the hands of those who have an interest in the material pros perity And the social and political well being of the people. Let, there be an end to the system which has put in power the earpet-huggers and negrues• whose sole aim is to curie!' themselves by public plunder, and there will be lasting peace in every Southern State. Federal interference with the local governments of the States, for par tisan purposes, has caused the troubles which now exist, and until there hi an end or Ihat, no improvement can be ex pected. Should the bill now being il,f bated in Congress become a lass', it would only increase existing evils and create new ones. Originating in base parti san motives, it will necessarily prove to be a cause of irritation and not an agent of pacification. Its only effect would be to continue fur a while longer the rule of carpet-baggers and the negroes who have bankrupted Southern States. In a New Dress The Uellysburg Compiler comes to us ill a new dress, looking as bright, clean and handsome as sew type and great taste in their arrangement can make it. It is edited by a live man, one who takes pride in his paper and devotes all his time and attention to !nuking it what a country newspaper should be. I leery J. Staple has fought the battles of the Dem ocratic party for years with all his ener gies,and has always refused to ask for or to accept an office,though lie to ighteasily have secured political preferment. The consequence is he publishes one of the very best country newspapers in Penn sylvania. TI IE public debt statement shows that a decrease of $11,011,150 was made during the month of March, but we notice that Republican newspapers do not cackle so loudly over the figures as they once (lid. They have at last be come convinced that the overburthened taxpayers of this country do not look with complacency upon a system which wrings such vast sums of money from them. The belief that the present gen eration should not be compelled to pay the principal of the national debt is fast obtaining universal currency, and Mr. Boutwell's policy is falling into com• plete disrepute. An Outrageous Gerrymander. For some weeks past numerous trick sters of the Republican party have been busily engaged in preparing an appor tionment bill, and the. result of their joint labors has at last been presented in the shape of a report from the committee of the lower House. A glance at it shows that it is a more outrageous gerryman der than that of which became so odious toward the last that no respecta ble Republican newspaper attempted to defend it. In fact men of all parties re joiced, and none more sincerely than conscientious Republicans, when the election of a Democrat in the First Sen atorial District gave promise of a fair and just apportionment of the State. The bill prepared by the Senate committee made such an equitable division of the State that reputable Republican news papers could not find fault with it, and Senator Billingfelt was constrained to commend it. Taking the vote of IS6S, the last full vote east in Pennsylvania as a test, and applying it to the Senate bill it was found that the Republicans could elect a majority in each branch of the Legislature. Changes which have since taken plaee:gave the Democrats some seeming advantages, but the bal ance between the parties was made very even. Under the Senate apportionment bill whichever party carried the State on a general vote would be certain to secure a majority iu the Legislature. What a contrast to that is the bill presented by the House: It gives the Republicans nineteen Senators certain, and makes two doubtful districts. It fastens five staunch Democratic coun ties in hopelessly Republican districts, while the Senate bill placed only two small Republican counties In Demo cratic districts. It gives to Allegheny, with taxables, three Senators, while Luzerne, with 1.",,0ti0 taxables, is given but one. Republican Crawford, with but 17,55:1 taxable., is given a Sen.'

Catching a tartar A correspondent of the New York Tribune gives along and wailing account of the troubles which carpet-bagging office-seekers are called upon to encoun ter in the State of Mississippi. They went down there and seized upon the State government, managing to fill a majority of the offices while Gen. Ames controlled the elections by the free use of Federal bayonets. Dreading defeat with a northern candidate for Governor they took up James L. Alcorn, a native of the State, and made him their candi date, with the tacit understanding that he should speedily resign and accept a seat in the United States Senate, leaving the carpet-bag Lieutenant-Governor to rule in his stead. But, to the intense disgust of the whole horde of carpet baggers Alcorn commenced to ap point natives of Mississippi to fill the offices. Immense appointing pow 'cc had been purposely conferred upon the Governor with the ex- I pectation that the carpet-baggers ! would profit by it. Of course they were intensely disgusted, when they found Alcorn using the power for the benefit of natives instead of for the purpose of enriching the horde of greedy adventu , rers who had gone down there from the ' North. The Governor manages to con trol the Senate, and his appointments are promptly confirmed. There is a Radical majority in the House, made up of carpet-baggers and negroes. Gov ernor Alcorn gives good and valid rea ' sons for his actions. He knows that irritation and bad blood must necessa rily exist so long as a set of needy and greedy adventurers from the North , monopolize offices which most of them are unfit to till. He is taking the right way to pacify Mississippi, and he ought to be sustained and encouraged by all gimtl men without respect to party. exr6ungr, but sill sell that .several of Stir c.ottetitiviraries do, and evidently appre- Vint) , it, ir IVO 11515' judge by the Ilse they mak,. of its eWt,)rialN, without the proper We have long ago ceased to complain of the free use which our rural ex changes make of our editorial columns.

A PARTY of negroes serenaded John W. Forney at his residence in Philadel phia, last night. Their object was to do honor to him in his new capacity of Collector.

Our Radical Jury Commissioner utterly Ignores his color ed fellow-citizens. Representation by Counties In the Senate Apportionment bill there was one feature which commends it to all right-thinking'men. So far as possible it gives to the different counties of the Cothmonwealth separate repre sentation in the'popalar branch of the State Legislature. By it sixty counties are given separate representation. The framers of the House gerrymander were forced to violate the principle of .sep arate representation most grossly, in order to make sure of a majority in that body when the popular vote should be against the Republican party. The apportionment bill prepar ed by the Radical tricksters makes only forty-eight single districts for the lelection of members of the lower House. I The great Democratic County of West moreland is smothered under the Radi ical majority of Indiana; Bedford and Fulton are disfranchised by being join ! ed with Somerset ; Lycoming is tied to Bradford and Sullivan; Washington to Beaver ; and Wyoming to Sus quehanna. Nothing like these unnat ural unions can be found in the bill which came from the Demo 1 (untie Senate. In that the principle of separate representation has been care fully preserved. The more closely the ' two bills are scanned the more does the fairness of the Senate bill become ap parent. When the two shall go to a committee of conference the Democrats will occupy the ventage ground. They I will be able to show without much ellbrt that the Senate bill is in every respect more just and equitable than that pre sented by the House, and will be able to put their opponents ill the wrong even if they should fail to make them acknowledge it. We are not without hope that a fair apportionment bill will be leveed upon and passed into a law before the month of April passes away.

For when astute and shrewd rascals Invoke the letter of the Con stitution and of the Law, in order to violate the spirit of the Constitution and of the Law, they can, If in a majority, under the semblance of right, establish a reign of wrong and violence, de;.tructive of public rights, public morals and public safety. We ; have had innumerable examples of such evil political practices, from the tirst ring ing of Seward's little bell, which consigned American patriots to the gloom of A meri can Bastiles and summarily hushed the manly voice of truth, down to the present day, when, through the force of habit, po litical crimes seem to have acquired the privilege of impunity,:and political brig ands continue to ply their infamous trade! Hence, notwithstanding the crowing res tiveness of the people and the numerous and varied. appeals of the Democratic and Conservative press throughout the laud President Grant and the 'Wheel lieeebli , eau leaders, with Congress at their backs, stolid y and persistently continue their in roads upon the Constitution and enact bay onet laws to counteract and paralyze the action of the people at the next Presiden tial election, and thus to secure a sham re election of the future Emperor who is des tined by them to rule over the re n tral ized Empire of North America! , The principal abettors of this damnable conspiracy against the liberties of the peo i plc, are the numerous monopolists that owe their fraudulent existence to the icy of the Republican party, and who now feel, that, under a free feint of government, they cannot long isintinue, with impunity, I to suck the lines blood of the people; and who therefore anticipate, in the spirit of • self-preservation, the necessity of creating despotism to nett th.WII, at t h e pitint. Of thr bayonet, the strikers of free labor, calculated to wring from them an equitable share of the enormous profits they derive 11,111 their special privileges, and the revolt of the people at large, against the accumulated crushing taxation, extort ed front them, to support the ,plentlor and the arrogance of that moneytal aristocracy which, nitishroonidike,dtit recently sprung frill., the dun g hill, has not ecru got the prestige of ttnetadrill renown, gentle blood or refined education, to tone down the daz •r.liug glare of the gaudy feathers svhieh make those who II:11111E theta su ridieulotis in the eyes of all who rt !minder their low The the war, robbed the 1 . , S, ioN•ertinictit of hun dreds of tttillionv oC dollarv, •1..1•1111,i to be tire least desirious of univerial contempt.
