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.

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. GEARY 307,274
For HEISTEB CI.TMEB 290,096

—Governor E. Cole, the newly ap
pointed Governor of Washington Territorv,

J®- The .Supreme Court of the
Lnited States Monday pronounced
the test-oath of Missouri, and the
test-oath prescribed by Congress for
attorneys who, having taken part in
the rebellion, ask to be re-admitted
to practice, unconstitutional. 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.

A GRAND REPUBLICAN VICTORY. —The
Evening Post remarks pertinently that
the Republican party has gained a
great and important vantage ground,
by placing itself on the platform of
universal suffrage. It leads the great
army of popular liberty aud progress.
The action of Congress will be re
ceived with joy by the disfranchised
millions of Great Britain, as well as
by the black Unionists of the South
ern States, who will see, with renew
ed hopes, that the American nation in
its national capacity, is pledged to j
universal suffrage, and to the creed
that the rights of all are safe only in j
the keeping of all.
The London Times thinks that I
the impeachment of the President ol
the United States lo >ks like a fatal
blow at the Constitution.
