BRADFORD IMPORTER.' Towanda, Thursday, Jan. 17,1867., RE< 0> STRT CTION. It appears that some of the more ; intelligent aud reasonable of the reb- j els in the Southern States, are doing I their utmost to have their respective I states adopt the Constitutional Am endments, urging that if these am endments are not speedily sanctioned, j harder conditions will be imposed by Congress ; and there is apparent good reason for these fears. Mr i 1 Durand, and a large number of other j loyal citizens of the rebel states, i have lately petitioned Congress on 1 this subject, taking strong grounds against reconstruction on the basis ; | of the amendments, alleging, that if! the rebel states arc so admitted, the j loyal union men in them will be en- I i tirely powerless, and at the mercy of; of the rebels, as they are now, aud J they demonstrate this very clearly, j This memorial has had great infiu- S j encc, as it should have, on the ma- ! ! jority in Congress. Besides this, the j persecutions of the loyalists in the j : rebel states, especially the blacks, I has a strong tendency the same way. j In a debate lately held in Congress, i Mr. Stevens read and extract from the Loyal Georgian newspaper of the Bth of December, showing that at the late Equal Rights Convention held in Macon, the delegatee representing fifty counties, reported an hundred j and fifty murders within the last two ! months, AND IN NO INSTANCE DID THE | CIVIL ACTHORITIF.B ATTEMPT TO BRISG THE j MURDERERS TO JUSTICE. And in consequence of the at -1 tempted revival of slavery in Mary | land, Kentucky and Florida, the low er House of Congress has directed , its Judiciary Committee to inquire whether slaves are still sold in the Southern States. The Constitutional Amendment abolishing slavery per mits it in cases ol conviction for 1 j crime, and in the States above named this has been done for trifling acts of , misdemeanor, trumped up for the ex f \ press purpose of selling the adjudg ed offenders into slavery. These acts are having their effect upon the coun ! try, as well as upon Congress. And while a large majority of the loyal masses of the uation, were, at the last election, in favor of re-construc tion On the basis of the Constitution al Amendments, the bad conduct of the rebels has proven them to be so unfit for citizenship, and so unsafe to the nation's quiet, that the belief is rapidly gaining ground that it will i be extremely unwise to give the reb -1 els any political power, either as in dividuals or States. For these rea sons, the bill organizing North Caro ; lina, without regard to the present State authorities, or the rebels, and placing it into the hands of its loyal L population, is fast gaining strength. If this State can thus be placed into i the hands of its loyal people, and then brought iuto the Union agaiD, the same course will be adopted with 1 the rest of the rebel States. MILITARY COMMISSION'S. 1 Tiie recent decision of the Supreme ' Court of the United States decreeing the unconstitutionality of the Milita ' ry Commissions, which were called into being by oar necessities in de i " J fending the country against the re , bellion, is of more importance than [ the casual observer is let to infer. Judge Miller, of lowa, who was ap pointed by President Lincoln, became recreant to his avowed principles, and it is said, that it was through this defection that the majority in the Court was obtained. While it is our bounden duty to submit to this deci sion, we cannot but regret its oc currence. Not that we are in favor of these Military Commissions, or any other extra judicial tribunal for j the trial and punishment ofciiminals, in times of peace, and when through j the Civil Tribunals all offences can be reached ; but in the present con | dition of the late rebellious States, this is not the fact, as every impar tial reader must know. We have only to look at a late case which oc curred in Richmond, and it is one 1 among thousands which have taken j ; place iu the South within the last year. The facts, as they have been stated are of the most ilagraut character. Two families in Rockbridge county— one of Di. Watsou, the other of Ma | jor Echols—were on a Sunday driv ing to church, in their respective car riages, each with a negro coachman. Iu a narrow part of the road, the driver of Major Echol's carriage at tempted to get ahead of the other, notwithstanding the remonstrances j of Dr. Watson's coachman. A col-1 lisiou eusued, which broke one of the ! wheels of the Doctor's carriage, and i made the horses unmanageable.— I They ran away, and the carriage was j broken to pieces, thongli, fortunate-1 ly, without injuriug either of its oc- j ! cupants. A few days afterwards Dr. j ; Watsou, who was then absent from ! ' home, returned, aud learned what had taken place. He immediately ; rode over to Major Echols's, and find ing the negro coachman in the field, told him he had come to chastise him j t.r what he had done—and thereup on began striking him with a stick, ; which the man wrenched from his hands, and attempted to run away.— The Doctor commanded him to stop, or he would shoot him ; and, as the ' negro did not hood him. be fired bis ' pistol at him, and sent a bail through his body, entering at the back and coming oat at the centre of the ab domen. The man died, and Dr. Wat son was arrested aud tried by a Vir ginia jury, and was acquitted. Gen. Schofield had instituted an investiga tion by a commission, which was dissolved about two weeks since. This we suppose to be but a mod erate specimen of the mockery of justice that is taking place every week in the Southern States, in cases in which the negro is a party This occurred in Virginia, the nearest of the border States : and the further , South we go the more likely are we to meet with atrocities upon the ne gro, sanctioned by public opinion, and not condemned by the courts ol law. The black man is not yet se i cure in his rights, nor does he re ceive equal justice with the white j man before the constituted tribunals lof the Southern States. The Civil ; Rights Bill is a dead letter, uuless | Congress shall coutrive some judicial | machinery by which it may be en ! forced. Even in Maryland, blacks i have lately been sold into slavery by j the sheriff, as a punishment for what I the court has pronounced a crime ; | and in North Carolina they have been i whipped by scores under a law, : which, whatever be its literal import ] is never enforced against any but ue j groes. A military commission, as I we all feel, is a dangerous instrument of public justice ; but cases like these cannot be tolerated. Outrages upon the rights of the Freedmeu, of whom the nation is the special guar dian, must be stopped, even if it be necessary to maintain a district judge and a marshal of the United States in every county of the entire South. : If there is auything, whether at home or abroad, to which the whole power of the Government is especially pledged, it is to making effective the abolition of slavery, and establishing everywhere throughout the land the civil rights of the negro. Since the decision of the Supreme Court the Military Commissions in the Southern States, instituted to protect the loyal whites and blacks, have all been suspended, and the re sult will be a reign of terror. All the civil authority is in the hands of the rebels, and if a rebel commits an outrage upon a loyalist, he is screen ed by the authorities ; and this will continue so long as loyalty is at a heavy discount in the rebel states. Up to this time the military occupa tion of these states, has, in a manner, kept down the resentment of the reb els against the black aud white loy alists, because the commanders at the different posts, were ready to order the trial, by Military Commis sion, of gross offenders who could not be reached in any other way, so that there was a restraint upon those crimes. Now, however, this is all removed, and the fiends of rebeldom can glut their vengeance to the full. But this is not the worst of it. Now that Military Commissions have been declared illegal, a fearful onslaught will be made on the officers who have been identified with them, and espe cially those who have composed the | commissions These will now be li j able to prosecution, ami every rebel ' rascal who has suffered at their ! hands, will, in all probability, insti | tute proceedings ; ami especially will this be the case in localities j where rebels and rebel sentiments are in the ascendaut. In these places these officers will likely suffer much. And will not rebeldom be a nice place for a while, where they can prosecute —and perhaps punish—those who have punished them for outrages up on the loyalists? They can now burn negro meeting houses, school houses, and private houses to their hearts content. They can force yellow girls to submit to their lusts, thou kill, or sell them into slavery. And will Congress suffer thiß wick edness to go on. We trust not. The loyal men and women of the South, whether white or black, must not be deserted, for one hour, if it is possi ble to help it. The necessity which forced the military occupation of the rebel states, for the protection of loy alists, is now more urgent than ever, and we trust Congress will immedi ately provide other means for their and security. The District Judges and U. S. Marshals, or some other ef fective instrumentality, should be in stantly called into requisition. A general delivery of criminals will also follow this decision of the Supreme Court. For all who have been imprisoned by Military Commis sions at Dry Tortugas and every where else, will now be released, as j the tribunals which remanded them i to punishment were illegal ; and all | who have been ordered under arrest | by these commissions, can now be j released by habeas corpus. Still, j Congress must not abandon the j Southern Loyalists. I'.MTKD STATES SENATOR. I j The Republican caucus ou Thurs ! day last, uominatsd Hon. SIMON CAM ERON as the candidate for U. S. Sena tor, by a very decisive vote, which will be found in the letter of our Ilarrisburg correspondent. He was undoubtedly elected, on Tuesday, but as we had not yet received the action of the Legislature, we defer our com ments until next week. We shall then have something to say about the unjustifiable warfare which has been made upon Gen. Cameron by his op ponent" Jrom harrisburg. Special Correspondence of THE BRADFORD REPORTER. HABBISBUIK., PA., Jan. 14, 1867. To fully realize the true state of affairs at the capital, your readers would have to visit our city and keep an eye on events as they transpire. It is not in the power of a cor respondent to fully portray the "wirings in and wirings out "of the politicians. As in dicated in a former letter, the list of candi dates named and the number of gentlemen recommended for U. S. Senator, had nar rowed down to four, viz : Messrs. CFBTIN, CA.UEROX, GROW and STEVENS. Each of these has his friends, who are in some sense interested in tin- r. suit of the Senatorial con test. Iu it few instances these friends use their influence out of pure personal motives, but there are many who have "axes to grind," and upon the succiss of their partic ular candidates depends, in a great measure, their own hopes for appointment* to fat of fices hereafter. With the exception of the few days between Thursday aud Monday last, when the Legislature had generally gone home, there bus been a most bitter warfare waged between the various wings of the party. On Saturday somebody anuounc ed through the Philadelphia Tress that Gov. CußTiNhad withdrawn from the contest.— This premature announcement was not rel ished by His Excellency, who immediately forwarded a telegram to the evening papers, in which he denied the rumor that he had withdrawn, and asserted that he had not au thorized any person to make any such state ment. What the object may have been we ] do not pretend to say, but it was certainly ! wrong to thus attempt to make capital for STEVENS at the expense ol the Governor. There is another matter that remains un explained and which looks as though an ef fort had been made to " shut up the eye " of STEVENS. A committee visited Washington end, it is said, informed the old "Common er " that C'UBIIN was to withdraw, and he (STEVENS) would be the most available ntan upon whom those opposed to CAMERON could concentrate their forces. Mr. STEVENS final ly concluded to visit Harrisburg and givo personal attention to his chances, and on Tuesday he arrived in our midst. Mr. GBOW also reached this city early in the week, and as Gov. CCBTIN and Gen. CAMBRON reside here, the four gentlemen who had determin ed to win the race were on hand to give their friends such advice as might be necessary, previous to the cutfcfos to be held on the evening of the 10th. It is to be regretted that the brighest hopes are occasionally dashed to the ground. Three of the four aspirants for honors that they believed were within their grasp, have been compelled to see those honors fade away. A very important decision was delivered, a few days ago, by the President Judge of the Court in this city. No doubt the readers of this paper remember that a short time be fore the elections were held, last fall, a cer tain ANDREW JOHNSON, and quite a number ef other individuals "swung around a cir cle " that embraced within its limits all the States in which important elections were held, for the purpose of leaving the Consti tution and the flag of the country in the hands of the people. In order that our citi zens might have a hand in taking care of said Constitution aud flag, the Mayor and Copperhead members of Council invited AN DY and suite to visit the Capital of Pennsyl vania. In compliance with said invitation the modern Moses and his followers "swung" into Harrisburg. They remained here over night, and were most hospitably entertained —tbe expenses of the reception, the board ing, lodging and liquoring footing up the handsome sum of $863,68. The Copper head Council immediately passed an ordi nance for the payment of the amount, and the Copperhead Mayor approved it. But two of our tax-payers had an injunction is sued, preventing the city treasurer from handing over the greenbacks nutil a full hearing of the case could be had. The mat ter finally came before Court, and the Judge delivered an able decision, in which he main tained that the authorities had no more right to entertain the President and suite at the expense of the tax-payers, than they had to give a public reception to any other trav elling exhibition, not excepting a circus or a menagerie. The decision has opened the eyes of the Cops who invited ANDY here, in asmuch as they will have to foot the bill out of their own pockets if their party will not contribute the funds necessary to liquidate the same. It is gratifying to know, howev er, that the people took care of the Constitu tion and the flag—and both are safe. The election of U. S. Senator takes place at eleven o'clock on the 15th, when the Sen ate and House meet in their respective halls. Should the balloting at that time fail to make the necessary choice, then joint meet ings of the two bodies will be held at twelve o'clock each day until a Senator is elected. Both Houses having passed, the Governor has already approved and signed the bill le galizing the action of the Bnrgess and Town Council of the borough of Troy, in Bradford County, relating to bounties, and to require the payment of the same. Mr JACKSON lias had a bill passed by the House, incorporating the Sullivan Land Company. He has also introduced a bill rel ative to roads and bridges in Sullivan coun ty- Mr. KINNEY has presented a bill authoriz ing an additional Justice of the Peace in the borough of Towanda. Passed by the House, under n suspension of the rules. On this subject the following, from tbe Legislative Record, may be of interest to your readers : Mr. KINNEY. Mr. Speaker, I desire to make a short statement. Leave was granted. Mr. KINNEY. Mr. Speaker, the business portion of the borough of Towanda, in the county of Bradford, ask the Legislature to pass an act which will enable them to elect an additional justice of the peace at the reg ular borough election, which takes place on the 18th of this month. To gratify them in their wishes I am obliged to ask a suspen sion of the rules. Leave was granted. Mr. KINNEY. Mr. Speaker, I read in my place and present to the Chair a bill en titled An act authorizing an additional jus tice of the peace in the borough of Towanda, in the county of Bradford. The bill was read the first time. Mr. MEYERS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to inquire of the gentleman from Bradford [Mr. KINNEY] how many justices of the peace I there are in that borough. Mr. KINNEY. I believe there are two, sir. Mr. MEYERS. I see by the sixth article of the seventh section of the Constitution of the State of Pennsylvania, it is provided that no township, ward or borough shall elect more than two justices of the peace or ald ermen, without the consent of the majority of the qualified electors of that borough. It seems to me that this is an interference on the part of the State, without some evidence that a majority of the electors of that bor ough have given their consent. Mr. KINNEY. The people of that bor ough were so very unanimous in soliciting this, that perhaps, they did not consider it necessary to comply with that provision. If it is necessary, why, of course, the bill will have to be withdrawn. Mr. MEYERS. Mr. Speaker, this is an expressed constitutional prohibition, and therefore, the act, if passed, can have no bind ing effect on anybody. Mr. LEE. Mr. Speaker, why is not that bill in order? The people of that borough will decide the question when it comes up whether they will have it or not. The Con stituuoD of the State of Peaasylvaaia floes not M y that a man may not bo nominated for an office. If the people of a borough de termine that they shall have another magis trate, they do that by their votes. I think it iH perfectly proper they shall have the privilege of saying so. Mr. KINNEY. I desire to offer an amend ment so as to provide that the question shall lie submitted at the same time to the people. The bill, as amended, passed finally. The Senate has also passed the same bill. There has been no other legislation of a local character in which your readers are in terested and none need be looked for until the Senatorial quarrel is ended. It is hoped somebody will be elected on Tuesday, to represent us in the United States Senate, so that our law-makers may go to work in good earnest to legislate for the people's good. On Thursday the House and Senate met in joint convention to open, count and pub lish the votes cast for Governor in October last. The returns were as follows : For Gen. JOHN W.

As, however, the four judges, including Chief Justice Chase, who dissented i from the recent decision in the Indi ana case, also dissented from the de cisions delivered yesterday, it is evi dent that we are suffering from a new Dred Scott experience, and that partisan views, rather than respect for fundamental principles of law and justice, regulate the action oi the court on questions connected with reconstruction.
