| Concluded from .'!f the cruelties practiced on those who were arrested, of their confinement in a sort of cage in the office of the Chief Supervisor, of the sufferings they underwent while thus confined, I have no time to-night to speak. I wish you could all rend the testimony that details these mat ters, for 1 venture to say that there is not an honest or a humane man in this audience who would not be shocked by the recital. The truth is that this Election l.aw, or at least so much of iis • provisions as authorizes the appoint ment of Supervisors and Deputy Mar shals, is a mere scheme to buy voters by appointing them Deputy Marshals, and to employ Republican electioneers and Republican desperadoes to control the elections of the people and to pay them out of the treasury of the United States. When the bill was under cow sideration in Congress, it was said that such a law was necessary for the pro tection of the Freedmen of the South : but the truth is that the law origi nated in the Cnion League Club of tlie city of New York, and was made esj>e cially for that city. ose to re peal are not exertions of the jiower to prescribe the time or place of holding elections, Iweause they do no such thing. If. therefore, they are author ized by this section of the Constitution, it must be in virtue of the word 'man ner,' That is the only word that is left. • ••••••••• I go to another proposition which I hold is capable of demonstration, and that is, that whether the right of Con gress to regulate the manner of Con gressional elections when there is no default on the part of the State, exists or does not exist, the laws which this bill proposes to repeal are not a consti tutional exercise of the power, for it is fundamental that Congress can not, under Article 1, Section 4, interfere in any manner whatever with the election of State officers. It can no more do it, under pretense of regulating Cong res sional elections, than it can when no Congressmen are to be elected. It fol lows that any regulation of Congres sional elections enacted by Congress must be so framed as not to interfere with tho election of State officers. If it does so interfere it is unconstitutional. Upon that I stand with a consciousness of being in the right that I hope is not presumptuous. To me no legal propo sition ever appeared clearer. Thereare two classes of elections in this country. There is an election for Federal officers. Representatives and Senators in Con gress, and Electors of President and Vice-President; if the latter can prop erly be called Federal officers. There is another class of elections for the offi cers of a State and her subdivisions. With the election of this latter class Congress, under this clause of tho Con stitution. has no more right to interfere than it has to interfere with the elec tions in France. So far as it ran inter fere at all, it is under the Fifteenth Amendment, and that is simply to guarantee the right of men qualified against a discrimination jr>n account of race, color, or previous con dition of servitude. Rut that guaran tee, I have shown, has nothing to do here. Here the question is not about objections of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, but it is wheth er Congress, tinder the pretense of reg ulating Congressional elections, can in effect regulate the election of State offi cers too, and that in direct violation of the laws and the rights of the States. "If our forefathers in the Convention should have put a clause in the Consti tution that would warrant what these laws attempt, they knew that the whole instrument would be rejected, and rejected with scorn and indigna tion. Sir, I ask what do these laws effect ? Do they not interfere with the election of State officers ? How is it that when hundreds upon hundreds of men who claimed the right to vote, and who, to far as we know, had the right to vote at the last election in the City cf New York, were arretted by Federal officers, dragged from the |>olis before Mr. Commissioner Davenport, put in a cage as many as the cage would hold, kept there until the election was over, snd others only admitted to bail on the condition that they would promise not to vote, others again only on condition that they would surrender their natu ralization papers—papers that he had no more right to take from then) than he had to take their goods and chattels —when that was done was that not in terference with the election of the offi cers of tho State ? Was that simply a regulation of the manner of electing members of Congrt'ss ? Wan tbat not an interference with tho election of the member* of the Legislature of the State who wore to he chosen at that election? Was it not an interference with the election ot one of the Judge* of the highest judicial tribunal of that Btnte then to bo chosen? Wnsit not no interference with tho election of every State oilicer who was voted for at that election? Who can deny it? Nobody can. And, sir, will you tell mo that Congre** under tho jiowor to regulate the manner of election* in the choice of members of Congress, can frame a law in Htich wi*e a* really to authorize a Deputy Marshal of the United State* to tear the State Judge* from their seat* and confine them in prison and stop the election, and that all that is not in terfering with the right* of the Stales to hold their election for State officer* according to their own laws? Will you toll mo that i an exercise of the power to regulate the manner of electing members of Congress? No, sir, it will not stand one moment's examination There are some things so clear that ar gument upon them only serve* fo oh scuro them, and this is one of them. A man would be absurd who *hould ar gue that two and two do not make tour ; but he would bc'scareely more ab surd than he who should argue that laws which permit the interference of which 1 have spoken, can be sustained under the provisions of the Constitu tion authorizing Congress to regulate the manner of electing metr.Lois of Congress."

Reasons which if carefully weighed will convince any one with average common sense: First Wr. thai in all classes of general merchandise, including DRY GOODS, Clothing, Boots and Shoes, Groceries, Queensware, Notions, Carpets, Hats and Cups, and everything generally kept in a well regulated Country Store, Second We hep the largest and Ijest assorted stock-, in styles and (/utilities, of Men's, Youth's and Childrens' Clothing in Centre county. Third—From the two foregoing reasons any one, ran easily see t/ur rnaiutename dors not depend upon the large pro/its that must he made, on a suit of clothing toy any e.nclusire clothing store, and conseguetitly we Fan afford to sell at a smaller profit than any of them. And since we can afford it we are willing to give our customers the benefit of tfw same.
