THK RBCOMiTRICTION REPORT.
The report of the joint committee on Re
construction, and the ratification of the vi
tal feature of the report by the decisive
vote of the House, prescut the great prob
lem of restoration to the country in a tan
gible form. The time is past now when
the purpose of Congress can be misrepre
sented by those who seek to serve the
cause of traitors. After patiently investi
gating the condition of the rebellious
States—taking the testimony of leading
rebels and loyalists in those States, the
committee united every Republican on the
amendments of the constitution and the
bills reported, and they declare to the na
tion and to the world, in substance if not
in form, the position of the Union party on
the restoration of the rebel States to fellow
ship.
There are many Union men who do not
fully coincide with the entire report of the
committee. Some would liberalize the
third amendment and thus leave treason
practically without a penalty ; others
would make the disfranchisement cease
only with the death of those who had
waged war against the government, and
others would demand that the loyal men of
the South, without regard to color or con
dition, be clothed with the ballot as a
measure of justice alike to themselves and
to the couutry. But while there is great
diversity of opinion as to the details of the
proper policy of reconstruction, we believe
that the Union men will unite cordially
and earnestly in supporting any measure
that may be accepted by the Union men of
Congress. What the loyal men of the na
tion most desire jia to have some definite
policy, not wholly dictated by traitors, that
can be made the fixed and settled policy of
the government. Considering that the Pres
ident seems to have no higher ambition
than to clothe treason with honors and pow
er, it is well for the Union party to look to
practical results and not sacrifice all by re
fusing what can be attained. It is mani
fest that any penalty for treason and any
security agaiust renewed discoid and war,
must be achieved over the head and in de
fiance of the power and patronage of the
President, who reached his position by the
suffrages of the millions of loyal people
whose convictions he now so fiercely an
tagonizes, and Congress must therefore
calculate well its position and make the
future safe by secaring all that the present
can give.
We have loug since yielded confiscation
and the punishment criminally of ths lea- 1
de* sof the rebellion. They marked their
desolated pathway of power by the most
vigorous confiscation, and punished unto ,
death the avowal of loyal sentiments in
the dominions of treason, but with an Exe
cutive who is clearly committed to save
them harmless in person and property, it
is impracticable. The result is that loyal
men must bear the crushing debt created
by treason, and the men wo, in vio atiou
of a 1 accepted rules of war .nd every dic
tate of humanity, deliberately murdered
thousands o Union heroes in prison pens,
are now, with the President, attempting to
dictate to the government that conquered
them, the terms on winch they will consent
to fill our legislative halls agaiu. In thir
work tin apostate Johnson and the traitors
who are flinging their insolence into the
i face of the nation under the protection of
! the President, have the cordial sympathy
i and hearty co-operation ot the entire Demo
cratic party, and its success will be th:
success of treason and of the President in
the pending struggle.
We trust that the Senate will take speedy
action on the report of the committee. Un
til Con ress shall present to the country
with its high sanction, a practical soluti n
of the great question, the power of treason
and its sympathizers will be potent to em
barrass the government and divide the peo
ple. Bnt when both branches of Congress
shall declare upon what terms traitors shall
be restored to the rights of property and
citizenship, and the appeal is made to the
people to sustain that action, the contest
will be well nigh won. It cannot be doubt
ed that every loyal State would promptly
call its legislature aud ratify auy amend
ment presented by Congress as essential to
the safety of the government,aud with such
an expression iu favor of Congress, treason
would be glad to yield rather than have
the aroused reseutmeut of the people whose
j forbearance has already been severely tes
ted. Let the country have the amendments
speedily, and the Union men will be fully
prepared for the struggle. It will be des
perate but desisive, -ud it will be the last
great gtruggle of traitors to subvert ths
government they failed to destroy by caus
less * ar.
TH UMION STATB CINTRAL CoMMITTEB.—
This committee met last week at the Na
tional Union Olub House, Philadelphia.
We learn from the i'rtw that a large ma
jority of the members were present. C'ol,
Frank Jordan, chairman, presided, and E.
H. Raucb, Esq., of Berks county, was ap
pointed secretary pro tcm. The usual subr
committees were appointed, and arrange
ments made for future meetings of the
principle committee On motion, Wm. H.
Kemble, Esq., of Philadelphia, was ap
pointed treasurer, and the chairman was
authorized to appoint three permanent sec
retaries. Messrs. George W. Hammer
sley, of Germantown, A. W. Benedict, of
Hnutingdon, and J. Robly Dunglison, of
Philadelphia, wore selected as secretaries,
and the appointments subsequently unani
mously confirmed.
The proceedings of the meeting were en
tirely harmonious, and the reports from all
parts of the Commonwealth of the most
flattering character. The members of the
committee are determined to prosecute the
campaign with energy and zeal, and are
sanguine of electing our gallant standard
bearer, Gen. Geary, by an immense ma
jority.
THE VETO OF THF. COLORADO BlLL. —While
the country is not surprised at the veto of
of the bill admitting Colorado as a State,
a very general expression of indignation
has been <1 cited already at at the frivo
lous reasons assigned to sustain the Presi
dent's objections to the act. He asserts
that the popnlation of the Territory is in
adequate to form a State Government, and
that the people who do live there are not
desirous of organizing such a government.
This iB of course frivolous and captious.
The vote at the two elections held in Col
orado proves that the Constitutional num
ber of citizens inhabit the territory, while
the census taken shows that the popula
tion of Colorado is sufficient to ask for a
State organization. These are the facts.
The President's objections, as we have
already stated, are merely frivolous and
captious. His secret motive for resorting
to the veto is to deprive the Senate of two
members who are opposed to "my policy,"
and punish the citizens of a territory who
dare to differ with a "Tribune of the Peo
ple."
—The test which the President applies
to the Colorado bill, if it iuvolves a princi
ple of the importance which he professes
to see in it, should find au application in
the case of the revolted States as they ask
for rehabilitation. Florida will serve to
illustrate this principle. Iler population
iu not only inadequate, but the vagabonds
who inhabit that territory are intensely
disloyal. Is the President in favor of the
admission of Florida as a State ?
THE NATIONAL FINANCES. —The receipts
into the United States Treasury for the
nine months of the fiscal year ending April
Ist, |410,000,000; and the Controller of the
Currency estimates that the receipts for
the year ending July Ist will reach 560,000
000.
The new tax law will probably diminish
reoeipls from several sources for the next
jear; but there will be new taxes,(such as
the tax on Cotton,) and the Southern States
will yrobably yield considerable revenue;
so that the receipts for the year commencing
July Ist, 1866, will not iu all probably be
less than the total for the current year.
The aggregate being thus large it seems
reasonable to hope that there will be suf
ficient margin to permit a large reduction
of the public debt. We have now reached
the maximum of that debt; and having ex
tinguished the tloating claims that have
accumulated since the war closed, the de
mands upon the Treasury will be confined
hereafter to the interest on the public debt
and the ordinary expenses of the govern*
meut. After paying these there must, if
due prudence be used by Congress in the
appropriations, be a handsome balance left
for the reduction of the debt
FROM EUROPK. —The steamship Cuba ar
rived Monday at Halifax, with advices
from Europe to the 13th inst. Toe most
important news is the terrible financial
panic in England, which is pronounced,
on Mr. Gladstone's authority, to be with
out parallel in the commercial history of
England. The great banking house of
Overend, Gurney k Co. suspended on the
11th, their liabilities being estimated at be
tween ten and twelve million pounds ster
ling. Many other disasterous failures are
announced, among theui that of Sir Morton
Peto, with whom much sympathy was ex
pressed. Business was almost entirely
suspended in Loudon, Liverpool, Manches
ter, and other commercial centres, but it
was hoped that the panic had done its
worst, and would spread no further. The
news from the Cont : nent continues warlike,
but presents no decisive features. The
dispatches from the several sources are as
numerous and contradictory as usual. Mr.
Motley had protested against the sending
of Anstraian reinforcements to Maximillian,
and it was understood that, in consequence
| of this protest, they would not be sent.
No HOPE. —We cannot see that there is
any hope that the President will hereafter
shape his course according to the platform
on which he accepted oflice and pledged
himself to be guided by. He seems to be
more and more alienting himself from his
Union friends and shapiug his course and
allowing himself to be influenced mainly by
those who sympathize with, and some of
those who actively participated in the re
bellion. Had the President followed up his
promises with acts,compelling the late reb
els and all tainted persons to undergo a
proper purgation, the quiet and prosperity
of the country would be permanently se
cured But if promineut rebels are to be
thrust forward into high places, and estab
lished in our halls of legislation to make
laws for us, while their hands still reek
with tho evidences of their treason, we can
have little hope of a speedy realization of
our wishes.
TUB NBW FIVE CENT COIN.—The act
which has passed the Senate and House of
Representatives to authorize the coinage of
five cent nieces, provides that the new five
cent pieces shall be eompsed of copper and
nickel, not exceedipg twenty-cent per cent,
of nickel. This coin is to be a legal-ten
der to the amount of one dollar, and re
deemed when presented in sums of not less
than one hundred dollars. It is proposed
to make this coin exactly five grammes or
T7-16-100 grains in weight. Three of the
coins will weigh one half of an ounce, and
will be convenient in the pocket for a
postage weight. The law also prohibits
the issue of fractional notes less than ten
cents after the passage of this act. The
color and appearance of this coin will be
similar to the three cent Coin, author
ized by act of March 3d, 1895.
POSTAL AFFAIRS AT THE SOUTH. —The Post
office Pepartme it has issued orders to dis
continue the delivery of the mails at an
early day at all offices in South Carolina,
and perhaps in other States, where there
are no commissi ned postmasters. This
order, the Governor of South Carolina says,
will subject the Press and the business com
muuity to very serious embarrassn t un
less steps are tak nto secure the rvice.B
at each post office of persons who can take
the oath prescribed uy Congress : and he
therefore recommends that some person be
seh cted at each office who can t9ke the
rath and give the bonds.
THE FLAG RECEPTION ON THE FOURTH
OFJULY.
The Pennsylvania Central Railroad Com
pany, with its usual patriotism, has offered
the gratuitous use of its cars for the tran
sportation, in July next, of the gallant sol
diers who, during the late war, by actual
detail, bore the colors of their regiments,
or acted as their guard,while they were on
the held of battle. Such of these brave
men as may be able are requested to as
semble in llarrisburg on the Ist of July,
and transportation thither will be afforded
them upon application to the members of
the Military Committee representing the
district in which they reside. The mem
bers of the Committee on Transportation
should secure correct lists of all the sur
viving color-bearers and color-guards, and
send them to General NEULEY, at Pitts
burg, on or before the 26th of the present
month, so that no difficulty or delay-trill
be experienced in procuring the tickets.—
General NEULEY can be addressed at Pitts
burg, or General TYNDALE at Philadelphia,
in reference to matters connected with this
part of the proceeding, on the comeing
Fourth ot July.
Every member of the committee appoin
ted to act in concert with the Governor
evinces a-desire to make the reception of
the flags an occurrence worthy of our glo
rious Commonwealth,and the occasion bids
fair to be one, the brilliancy of which will }
surpass any other display ever witnessed j
in Pennsylvania or in the Union.
The general committee representing the j
military divisions of Pennsylvania, appoint
ed to make arrangements for the presenta
tion ol the battle-llags to the Governor, on
the Fourth of July,in Independence Square,

A RAILROAD TRAIN BACKS INTO A BOARDING
HOUSE—A DANGEROUS SITUATION.— About
three o'clock yesterday afternoon, a passen
ger train on the Susquehanna road came
into the depot, the passengers got oil, the
train run out, was switched on to a side
track, and backed into the depot again.
The engineer must either have miscalcula
ted the distance he had to run,or the length
of his train, for he backed with consider
able force against the brick wall of a build
ing on the east of the lot. The structure
was erected in the rear of Mrs. Wachter's
Hotel, Broadway, and was used as a rear
entrance to that hotel from Church street, &
store house, &c. The wall was a twelve
inch one, and was some twenty feet high.
The track terminated within a few inches
of it. As the train backed down, the plat
form of the rear coach struck the wall with
such lorce as to knock a hole through it,
when, of course, the whole structure fell.
Mrs. Wachter and a domestic were at
the time engaged inside, washing some
clothes. Peter Myers, the bartender, a
daughter and son or Mrs. Wachter, and a
boy named John Wagoner were in the cen
tre of the yard at the time. The bar-ten
der heard the crash and observed the fal
ling wall.. With considerable presence of
mind, he immediately thrust the females
back towards the door, thus saving them
from serious injury. The two boys were
covered up in the ruins, and both were bad
ly hurt, young Wachter was badly cut and
oruised about the head and body. The
other lad was also much bruised, and his
right shoulder dislocated. Dr. Staats was
summoned and attended to the sufferers.— :
Albany Journal.
THE PRESIDENT AND PENNSYLVANIA. —The
President has met with poorer success in
Pennsylvania than in any other State. He
has not had a single vote in the House
save what he got from the Democrats, and
thus far has not received the open support
of a single known Republican paper. He
is of course much annoyed at the barren
prospect. Tha fact is, it is very hard to
make a party out of patronage alone, and
the eugineers of the President in Pennsyl
vania find it so every honr they live. The
people won't submit to being thrown into
the same company with Copperheads and
traitors ; and it is a poor business, even
with good men, to be forced to shout for
JOHNSON in the same chorus with men who
made themselves hoarse calling him a black
guard and a drunkard. A. J. himself be
gins to Ree that he is used simply to swap
one sort of Republicans for another—to
turn honest men out, and put untried men
into office. He finds himself pestered by
all the cormorant, spavined, broken-down
and cast-off politicians in the country ; and
if he can be ashamed of anything, he ought
to feel shame now — Philadelphia Pres*.
