Towanda, Thursday, May 10,1866, THE PIiAW OF RECONSTRUCTION. We printed last week a report of the re sult of the deliberations of the joint Con gressional Reconstruction Committee. The report embraces a joint resolution propo sing the amendment of the Constitution of the United States ; a bill to provide for the restoration of the States in insurrection, to their full political rights ; and a bill de claring certain persons inelegible to office under the Government of the United States. The amendment to the Constitution contains the vital principle of national life, freedom and justice. It interdicts a State from abridging the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, and creates a bar to every State depriving any person of life,liberty or property without due process of law. It bases representation on popula tion, counting the whole number of persons, excluding Indians not taxed, and where the elective franchise is denied, those thus ex cluded shall not be estimated in an appor tionment. This is radically just, practical and proper,placing every State on an equal ity from which no advantage can be derived by a Commonwealth or section. The dis franchisement of all who the rebellion, for four years, is provided for,and the debt of the traitors repudiated by the United States, and its repudiation enforced on all the lately revolted States by pro viding for the annulling of all legislation having its payment in view. The princi ples of the amendment have been endorsed in the platforms of the Union Republican party of the several States, and we are per fectly willing to go before the people with the same issue in its present shape. The lately revolted States which ratify the amendment to the Constitution above referred to, and which change their Con stitutions and laws to conform therewith, shall at once be entitled to rehabilitation. All persons identified with the Confeder ate States as President and Vice President, those of other countries who acted as agents of the Confederacy, Heads of Departments of the United States, officers of the army and navy of the United States,graduates of naval or military academy of the United States, Judges of the United States Courts and members of Congress of the United States who gave aid to the rebellion, are forever excluded from all offices of honor or trust in the gift of the government or the people of the United States. It also ex cludes from office all persons who held com missions in the rebel army above the grade of Colonel. PROSCRIPTION. The removal of PALEMON JOHN as assessor of Internal Revenue, for this District, and the appointment of ROBERT J. CLARK to that office, is the most flagrant political outrage ever perpetrated upon a party. It is not a usual case of political proscri ptior. Dr. John has peculiar claims upon the respect and sup port of the present Administration. He has been for years the publisher of an able I nion Journal, in a County where the dom unant party is intensely disloyal. He has struggled against adverse circumstances such as would have discouraged any man with the usual amount of courage and en ergy, and has fought the battles of Right, perseveringly and successfully. He has doubtless by the display of the honorable and courageous qualities he show ed, made himself enemies of professed Re publicans, who have not the soul to appre ciate his merits and his labors, and who envy him the possession and display of those hign parts, which they feel they stand so much in need of. Such men would embrace the first opportunity to strike down one so much above them ; and their enmity and jealousy is the highest meed of praise they could accord him. They may, by means of a renegade President, and a faithless Ad ministration deprive him of office, but they cannot wrest from him his high reputation as an honest and faithful officer, and his great renown as a valiant champion of the cause of equal rights. We must confess that we are somewhat surprised to see ROBERT F. CLARK lending himsolf to senator BUCKALEW and doing the dirty work of this faithless Administration- Mr. CLARK has disappointed his many friends in this County. The assurance from those who have known him longer, that nothing better was to be expected from him, does not lessen that disappointment. He has placed himself in a position where no hon orable man would be found, and as he has made his own bed, so let him lie in it. If the machinations of Copperheads are con genial to his feelings, let him aid them in carrying out their scheme for punishing those who unlike himself decline to stultify themselves, by becoming recreant to their principles. He can only succeed in bring ing upon himself the contempt of every right thinking man. The Republican party and its great principles, are above his reach, and his impotent efforts to destroy either will only bring upou him derision. The Senate will probably hesitate before it confirms Mr. CLARK'S appointment,or that of any other man made under similar cir cumstances The disposition shown in that body to intefere in these gross and outra. geous cases of political proscription is al ready working much good. Such men as Mr. CLARK will hesitate in their schemes of demoralizing the Republican Party, when they find that the reward of their treachery is doubtful, We trust that the senate will reject them, and satisfy the universal de- j sire of the Republican Party. #© Hon. John Ilogan, one of the Mis souri Congressmen, asserted in a speech at St. Louis, on Tuesday night, that he had been informed by one of the Judges of the United States Supreme Court, that the Missouri preachers' and lawyers' test oath law was unconstitutional. The decision will not be officially made public until next Winter. REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING. A large and enthusiatic Mass Meeting of the Republicans of Bradford County was held in the C >urt House, on Monday even ing last. The meeting was organized by the election of EMANUEL GYER Presi dent, SIMEON HOVEY and JOHN VANDYKE Sect's. The President upon taking the chair, in a forcible and eloquent manner, stated the objects of the meeting, and ably discussed the political topics of the day. Hon. GEORGE LANDON being called upon, re sponded in a speech, which was received by great enthusiasm and unanimity of en dorsement from the hundreds present. It was one of the ablest efforts of Mr. LANDON, in saying this we give but stinted praise. The whole meeting was pervaded with an earnestness and enthusiasm of feeling which agurus well for the coming cam paign. Bradford County will honor the soldiers and the principles for which they fough, by giving to their representative man, Gen. John VY. Geary, a majority that will put to shame all enemies of our coun trie's best interest. KQL. At Petersburgh, Va., on Monday night last two churches belonging to the colored people were set on fire and con sumed, and during the conflagration anoth er was discovered to be on fire, but in time to save the building. The event has caus ed much excitement in the community. The Index says : From every quarter and from all classes, we have heard an unbrok en comment of regret and indignation that there could have been found within the limits of Petersburgh one heart so profli gate and abandoned as to inflict this outrage on our colored people, and there is a dispo sition equally wide-spread to take every possible means to hunt down the author or authors of the crime. If the guilty parties imagine that they would find the faintest shadow of approval of their villainy in the sympathy of this community, they have been wofully deceived. In no part of Vir ginia, or of the South, does a better feeling exist between the whites and blacks. Col. J. W. Burke, of the Tenth Ohio, has published a statement of the sufferings of the people for food in North Alabama. He says the destitution extends through all those counties lying south of the Tennessee River, and constituting what is called the mountain region of Alabama. The close of the war found the people destitute even of the necessaries of life,and last year, no rain falling throughout that region, their slen der crops were burnt to a crisp by the fierce rays of the sun. Without money, crops or any resources whatever the peo ple have been reduced to a state of suffer ing which equals in ghastliness the hor rid scenes of the Irish famine years. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from Nashville says of the late riot at Memphis, that "every report renders more certain the fact that the affair was a savage outrage upon the blacks num bers of whom were murdered without pro vocation, and only to gratify the barbarous passions engendered by slavery and trea son. At first it was thought the blacks were guilty of commencing the disturbance, but even that is successfully disputed, and the whole thing appears to have originated from the asault of the police upon some dis charged colored soldiers, who, although making a noise, were neither injuring or molesting anybody." George Feet, the hotel proprietor at the foot of Ovvasco Lake, Cayuga County, who was arrested some months since for the murder of his wife by poison, but broke jail and escaped to Canada, was rearrested not long ago. On Friday last, when on the train from Rochester to Auburn, in cus tody of two officers, he asked permission to go into the water-closet, which was gran ted—his custodians neglecting the precau tion of going with him. Not returning the door was opened, when Peet was discover ed with his throat cut from ear to ear. He was already on the point of death and lived but a few minutes longer. The Montreal Gazette of May 1 says: " Mrs. JEFFERSON DAVIS left that city yes terday for Fortress Monroe, with permis sion to visit her husband. She is a woman of superior personal appearance and man ners, with a highly cultivated miud, and admirable power of conversation. A son is at the Bishop's College, Lennoxville, and a little daughter at the Couvent of the Sa cred Heart, Sault-au-Recollet. The mother and two sisters are residents of this city. JttS" Among- the recent conversions in Illinois under the preaching of the famous revivalist, Rev. Mr. HAMMOND, is Hon. JOHN T. LINSDAY, of Peoria, Senator from that district. Since his conversion he has addressed large meetings at Springfield and other points with wonderful power and eloquence. Hon. W. W. O'BRIEN, a lead ing Democratic lawyer of Peoria, and here tofore a strong Roman Catholic, is also en gaged in the same work with Mr. LINDSAY. JJ©" The steamship Peruvian arrived oft" Father Point Thursday, with five days later news from Europe. Much alarm was felt in England with regard to the steamers City of Washington and Propontis, both of which were iong overdue when the Peruvi an left. The Reform Bill was still the cen tre of political interest in England. The prospects of a ministerial majority were less brilliant, owing to the unseating of Liberal members on the ground of corrup tion at the elections. The German question was still unsettled, and all sorts of contra dictary rumors were flying about. It was reported at oue time that an amicable ar rangement had been effected, but this was contradicted by later dispatches. We have a report of a great victory of the Chinese Imperialists over the rebels in the northeast. Fifty thousand Taepingg are are said to have been slaughtered or taken prisoners. CONVICTION OK PROBST.—ANTOINE PROBST, the murderer of the DEERING fami'y, has been convicted of murder in the lirst de gree, and sentenced to be hung. After the sentence had been pronounced by Judge ALLISON in a Bolemn and deeply impressive manner, Mr. EBKN, the official interpreter, turned to the murderer, and asked him if he understood it. He repled, "Yes, all of the priucidal things ; but some words I did not understand." Mr. EBEN turned his head, when the mur derer called to him, Baying, "The Judge forgot to tell me when I am going to be huug." Mr. EBEN explained that the Governor would fix the time, and PROBST said, "Yes, that's it." The wretch never moved a muscle of his face or neck duriug or after the passage of the dread sentence of the law. On Friday last, the quiet town of Crommell, Conn., was thrown into an in tense excitement by the discovery of a foul murder within its precincts. Near the edge of a wood, in an open lot, a farmer in repairing his fence, came upon the naked body of a young woman, that had evident ly been dead for several days. The bruis ed condition of the head and other parts of the body, gave unmistakable proof that she had been murdered. At the last ac counts no clue hud been found throwing any light on the mysterious affair. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON, Thursday, May 3, 18(30. In the Senate yesterday, Mr. CHANDLER, from the Conference Committee on the Cu ban Telegraph Bill, made a report, which was agreed to. The bill now awaits the signature of the President. A bill to pay JOHN ERICSSON $13,930 fpr services in plan ning the war steamer Princeton,, was called up by Mr. ANTHONY and passed. The bill to reimburse the State of West Virginia for her expenses in calling out and equipp ing troops, was called up by Mr. VAN WIN KLE. The amount called for is $368,548. The bill to regulate commercial and postal communication between the States, com monly called the Railroad Bill, was next taken up, and occupied the attention of the Senate for the rest of the day. The Post office Appropriation Bill was recalled from the House, and its reconsideration fixed for Monday next. Iu the House the vote rejecting the Army Bill was reconsidered and the bill recom mitted. Voluminous testimony from the Reconstruction Committee was reported. Mr. ASHLEY, of Ohio, from the Committee on Territories, reported a substitute for the House bill to amend the act of May 20, 1804, providing a temporary Government for Montana. The first section authorizes the Governor to reapportion the Territory ; and the second section annuls all the acts of the so-called Legislative Assembly, which met in the City of Virginia on the sth of March, 1860, and forbids the pay ment of money to the members thereof. The substitute was agreed to, and the bill, as amended, was passed. Mr. ASHLEY, of Ohio, also reported back the Senate Bill 1 passed March 14, enlarging the boundaries of the State of Nevada by including part of Utah aud Arizona, and the bill was passed. A joint resolution was passed to encourage the sinking of artesian wells along the mail routes in the Territories by grants of public land. The bill to admit Colorado into the Union wa3 then taken from the Speaker's table. The House refused, by a vote of 29 to 109 to lay it on the table, and refused to commit it by a vote ol 64 to 74 . The bill was then considered and passed without'amendment; yeas 80, nays 55. The bill to incorporate the National Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphan Asylum was referred to the Judiciary Committee. In the Senate, the bill to provide for the payment of Quartermaster's stores and sub sistence supplies furnished the army by loyal citizens was read three times, and laid over till Tuesday next. Several peti tious were offered and referred, and private claims considered. Iu the House, ou motion of Mr. STEVENS, a joint resolution was unanimously passed congratulating the Emperor and people of Russia on his recent Providential escape from the danger of assassination. The re port of the Conference Committee on the Habeas Corpus Bill was agreed to, and the bill now waits the signature of the Presi dent. The bill authorizing the construction of thq lateral branch of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad into the District of Col umbia was passed; also the bill to incor porate the National Association to Educate Colored Men for the Christian Ministry. The House tlieu took up the bill to revive the grade of General in the United States Army, and was addressed by Mr. DEMI NO, Mr RAYMOND and other members in favor of the bill, which was passed by an almost unanimouo vote—yeas, 116 ; nays, 11. A JOHNSON STATE TICKET The Harrisburg Patriot —State organ of the Clymer Copperhead party—says that a Johnson State convention is to be held at Pittsburg in July next to nominate a can didate for Governor to help doleat Gen. Geary. Senator Cowan is engineering the movement, and he is backed by the Presi dent and leading Copperheads throughout the State. The plan is to remove all Gov ernment officers who do not join the John son party, and to fill their places with Re publicans and Democratic Unionists of easy conscience, who will work for the Presi dent's 'policy' and Cowan's ticket. A strong attempt will be made to defeat the Repub lican candidates for Congress in close dis tricts, aud to return a majority of Copper heads to the next Legislature, in which case, as a reward for Cowan's treachery, he is promised a re-election to the U. S. Sen ate. Cowan is now,and has been for weeks, in correspondence with members of the Cop perhead State and County Committees,who are instructed by him to fiud out aud report the names of each Government office-holder ! who refuses to sustain the president, and also the name of some hungry office-seeker in the same district, who can be bought to fill his place. It is said that Col. Richard Coulter, of Westmoreland county, has beciri fixed upon as the Johnson candidate for Governor—we presume with his consent. This Clymer-Coultor Cowan-Copperhead ' game is a very pretty one—but it will not : win. It is an admission of Clymer's weak- ! ness by his own party leaders, which will i lose him many votes of the rank and file, j Besides, intrigues of this sort never do win when brought to the popular test. The Union men of the State have no occasion of alarm. Let them organize thoroughly in every district —close up their ranks—charge upon the enemy, aud victory will be theirs without a doubt.
