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.' Doc , , any
o ne suppo ,, e he could be elected" For
-mth a one it would be impossible to
rally the Democratic party, and the
many Itepablicans who are now ready
to uktAc with us would be repelled and
back into the rucks of that or
ganization which they lye di-posed to
aban'flon. The character of their can

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.

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

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

!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.

is that the mongrel I.egislutures, which

an armed uprising of the aggrieved

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

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.

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.

Fred. Don,loss on Sunnier and So. 114.
The Washington Repubticoe gives an ac
count of an interview between one of Hs
reporters:mil Frederick Douglass as 10/IWS.
— .Fred. Douglass was enthusiastic in fa
vor of annexation. Speaking of Senator
Sunnier, he said: 'lle is now the greatest
enemy of the colored race. The arm of
Democratic hate raised to strike at the lib
erties of oor pebple finds its inspiration in
the utterances of Senator Sunnier. Ile has
been the object of my greatest admiration
but he is now doing the work of our most
implacable foe—the Democratic party."
Douglass is satisfied with Dominica, and
believes it would be a valuable fiC , III6ILIOII
to this country. Speaking of Ilayti, he said
it was no wonder its people were incensed
against us. For over fifty years we refus
ed to recognize them as belonging to the
sisterhood of nations, and Henry A. Wise,
in the House of Representatives, declared
he should forever oppose the recognition of
'these slaves,' made men by freedom.' Our
conduct in the past towards Hayti has little
in it to recommend us to their regards."
A Singular insurance Came
A curious suit ix likely to grow out of the

aside from the criminal aspects of the case,
which of themselves will be strange enough.
The deceased had his life heavily insured
in a Now York Life Insurance Company,
and the corporation issuing the policy now
proposes to bring a suit for damages
against Mr. Ward for destroying Its prop
erty. Leading lawyers express the opinion
that the case is actionable in all Its details,
and as Mr. Ward is understood to be the
possessor of large wealth, recently inheri
ted from his father, it is believed the com•
pany can recover the amount it has to pay
on Shroder's policy,'
For the Intelltgeneer
Letter from Harrisburg.
HARRISBURG, Mar. 31, IS7I
Messrs. Editors : The best Constitutions,
the best Laws, can be of no avail in the gov
ernment of any people, unless such Consti
tntionsand Laws are admirdsteredby capa
ble and honest men. 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

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
