Towauda, Thursday, April 4,1867. COPPERHEAD HASKNF.SS. In no one thing has the disloyalty of the copperhead press, and its gen eral hideousness, been made more manifest—not even in its open efforts to aid the South wheu warring on the country —than its attempts to per suade the late rebels to resist the re cent act of Congress—known as the re-construction law—even to the taking up oi arms. One can not open these journals without fiudiug them filled with despicable abuse of Cougress, and instructions to tire South how to evade the re-construc tion act. It is designated as tyraui cal in the extreme, aud so oppressive that the p jople whom it effects will be justified iu making an appeal to arms to resit its operations. The loss of life and of treasure, the de vastation and ruin which has over whelmed the South, and the bloody track left in every northern state, and still so clearly visible, by the rebel lion just ended, is not enough to sat iate copperhead thirst for blood. It cries for more. It seeks new devices to rouse more strife aud war. Its mendacious ferocity prompts it to distort every act of Congress, iu or der to beget hate for the law-making power of the government. And when distortion and falsehood fail, it open ly advises the South to fight again. And the cowardly hypocrites who aided the copperhead journals, claim at the same time, to be the peace party and the only loyal party in the country. In advising the Southern people to renow the conflict, these astute cop perhead editors seem to forget that almost every mau in the South capa ble of bearing arms, is a paroled prisoner of war. By the terms on which the rebel generals surrender ed, every man in their armies pledg ed himself ou oath, not to bear arms against the United States. Another rebellion therefore, would not only involve treason, but the violation of this solemn oath. We are glad that the more sensi ble portion of the Southern people are thinking and acting for them selves on this re-construction mea sure. They discover that the act it self is not only not the thing it-is represented to be by the northern copperhead press, but that, upon the whole, it is a reasonable and a prac ticable measure. So that the advice ol the northern sympathisers with rebellion, is not likely to be follow ed. In every part of the South, ex cept we believe Texas, measures have been taken, by the people themselves —leading rebels included—to comply with the act of Congress. One of these demonstrations was recently made iu Charleston, South Carolina, the old hot-bed of Secession, at which Gen. Wade Hampton, an ex U. S Senator, and a general in the rebel army, and one of the bitterest and one of the ablest ol southern states men, made a speech in favor of the re-construction measure, promising to be one of the foremost in giving it affect. He was followed by W. T. Pesuussure, Edward Arthur, the Hon. W. J. Talley and James G. Gibbs, all leading rebels, and all urging com pliance with the act of Congress.— We repeat, we rejoice to see this spirit developed, and more yet, to see it grow and spread as it is. If it continues as it has begun, the late rebel states will soon again be in their places in the Union, with a greatly increased representation in Congress, and therefore, an increased influence and power ; and all true lovers of the Union will rejoice at this, it the South will only be loyal to the Government. CONN KCTICLT. The election held on Monday in Connecticut, resulted in the success of ENGLISH, copperhead, over HAWLEY, the present Governor, by a majority of 500. HCBBARD in the First, HOTCHKINS in the Second,and WM. H. BARNUM in the Fourth, all Democrats, are elected. The Republicans elect STARKWEATH ER to Congress in the Third District. The Democrats will probably have one majority in the State Senate. The House is Republican. The Springfield Republican^ Mass.,) a few days since published a detailed account ot six cases of tricbinee spi ralis which occurred in that city. The same paper says the disease is not confined to the Rausley Hall family. A sou of the late Joseph Solace i 6 afflicted with it, as is also a Mr. Norton, who lives in the same vicinity. Both of these persons have eaten ham obtained at the store where the Halls purchased theirs. All of this family are now comfort able, except Mrs. Hall, whose condi tion is still extremely critical. As showing how enormous is the num ber of the trichitc, it is estimated that those on the small piece of mus cle taken from the limb of the de ceased girl were distributed at the rate of 50,000 per square inch. The number in the entire body must con- i sequeutly be many millions. A piece of the muscle has been sent to Prof. Agassiz. REJECTED. —The Senate has reject ed the nomination of Col. ALLEN MC KLAN, as Postmaster at this place. MR. DTEVEXS' CONFISCATION BILL. The bill relating to the Confiscation of rebel property, which Mr. Stevens recently introduced in the .Lower House of Congress,: contains nine sections, as follows, viz : The first clause provides for a general forfeit ure of all public lands in the exclud ed States, the second clause for the seizure of property deemed forfeited under the act of July 17th, 18' ii. the third clause for the appointment of a commission to condemn property, the fourth for the distribution of lands to emancipated negroes, the fifth for the "erection of buildings on the said homesteads for tie n of said blacks,* the sixth providing whose property shall be exempt from confiscation, the seventh, eighth and ninth provide for redemption of properly, and for little details of execution. How strange it is that President Johnson suggest ed all the points iu this bill of Mr. Stevens. The following is from a speech of Mr. JOHNSON, delivered April 21st, ISCS : Treason must be made odious ; trai tors must be punished and impover ished ; they must notoniy be punish ed, but their social power must be destroyed ; and after making treason odious, every Union man and the Government should be remunerated out of the pockets of those who have inflicted this suffering upon tire coun try. The Philadelphia North Anient-nn, in speaking uf this bill, says lhat however Republicans may disagree respecting it, there is one point in it upon which they ought all to be able to agree. We allnde to the first sec tion, wherein it is provided that the public lands of the ten rebellious States shall be confiscated. This is a matter that Las hitherto escaped the attention of all our public men except Mr. STEVENS, and we doubt not that many who read his speech will feel surprise that no one has an ticipated him in this capita! method of making the Gulf States pay us, to some extent, for the injuries they indicted upon us during the war. In the case of Texas, to which he calls special attention, there surely should be no delay whatever in availing ourselves of the opportunity to con fiscate the remainder of that public domain which she reserved to herself at the time of her annexation as a guarantee for the payment ol her debt—that very debt that was subse quently forced upon us as a national burden by the Compromise of 1S 50. Of all the States eoucerned in the late rebellion, Texas escaped with the least punishment. All the at tempts made to carry the war iuto her territory proved abortive, and the long and desperate struggles iu the south-west were mainly sustained upon resources derived from her. The contraband trade with Europe, thro' Mexico, was carried on by her. The droves of beeves upon which the re bel armies fed were furnished by her. And at the close of the war, after ail the rebel armies elsewhere had sur rendered, the Texan rebellion was still intact. These people, having felt little or nothing of the horrors of the war, have remained incorrigi bly disloyal and defiant, and although we have all recognized thit some punishment ought to be used to bring them to their seuses, none that was feasible could be thought of. It was asserted, by those who pro fess to know, that Texas had profited by the war to such au extent that her population is now double what it was in the year 1800. Thither have gone the very worst rebels from oth er States, and especially from Mis souri, Tennessee and Arkansas. The State had a large loyal population when the war broke out, especially among the Germans of western Texas, but a frightful reign of terror was established to crush out Unionism, and numberless patriotic citizens lell victims to it It would, therefore, be uothing more than right that we should pun ish this State for her treason by con fiscating her public lands, and the more so because then these lands would be opened to actual settlers free of cost under the operations of the Homestead law, which cannot otherwise be tue case. By the sup plement to that law, enacted by the last Cougress, all the public lauds owned by the national government in the Gulf States, were thrown open to actual settlers under the act. It is now proper to resume possession of all lands held by rebel States in order to extend to all such the same provision, so that we may encourage the increase of that independant class of small landholders which has been the crying need of the aristocracy ridden SOUth. Mr. Stevens estimates the amount of lands that will fall into the hands of the national government by this provision, at two huudred millions of acres, an item decidedly worth con sidering in these times, and sufficient to enable us to create a great ele ment in the south autagonistic to the plantation aristocracy. We cannot refrain from expressing our regret that this first section of the pending bill caunot be made into a separate act, and passed at once upon its own merits.

The supplement to th< General License Law he.'- been finally pa -< d ami received the approval and signature of the Governor. In a former letter J gave an outline of the supplement, and it is therefore unnecessary to repeat a detail of its provisions. All li- > censes to retail liquor, li.gei beer, etc., as well as euting house licenses must now be j obtained from the Court, and not from the I County Treasurer. Petitions must be sign- I ed by twelve citizens, and remonstrances against granting li- • use in any case will be i heard by the Court. No Jonbt some good ' will be done by the new Lea, as many of the j keepers of lo < i--wjll beniubh to obtain j license. I recently referred to tin passage of a bill ! extending the provisions of an act relating ! to corporations for mechanical, mining and quarrying purposes, to fin insurance corn panics. When this bill came before the Governor for his signature, his Excellency vetoed it with a promptness alike creditable to his head and heart. He set for his rea sons for this course in an admirably written message giving unmistakable evidence that we have a Governor who knows his duty, and knowing, dare perform it. The latter fact was also fully demonstrated when the hill granting immense privileges upon the I Pennsylvania Railroad Company was vetoed Iby Governor GEAUV. The Senate re-passed j the bill, over the veto, but the House did not, ! deeming prudence "the better part of val- I or," and a general revision of the V)ill took i place, modifying it materially and removing i the principal objections urged by His Ex cellency, after which it was passed and was promptly signed and approved. The Jury Bill has been passe d finally, and will doubtless receive the Governor's sigua ere this letter appears in print. This is a righteous bill, inasmuch as it provides for the impartial selection of jurors without re spect to political parties. Heretolore—es pecially w here Copptrheadism predominates —it has been customary to have the jurors composed almost exclusively of persons be longing to the same party. This was not right. Juslici demands that juries be com posed of men of nU parties, and that there I shall be no screening of villains by jurors of f his own political view s. The new law will , guarantee impartiality, as the Jury Commis j sioncrs to be selected annually must be i chosi n from both political organizations, as i are inspectors of elections. It is believed ■ the nc w law will have a most salutary effect, I and tliat hereafter when a copperhead mur ! derer or other criminal is brought into i court for trial he may not be acquitt< d by a | copperhead jury. On the other hand, it w ill i stop the cry of " stuffed jury boxes," raised by the tops, wlian orn of their number is convicted by a republican jury iu a republi can county. Col.

The forth coming campaign will be one of no little in terest. The question is not " who shall be chosen Supreme Judge V a-" shall the Re publican succeed at the next general elec tion ?" It therefore behooves each and ev ery member of the Committee to be present, so that the proceedings of the meeting may be conducted with an eyesingle to the forth coming campaign. If thi- letter should come to the notice of any member of the Committee referred to, let him at once per fect his arrangements to visit tlarrisburg on the 9th of April, and then make it his bnsi ness to be at the meeting of the State Cen tral Committee of the great Union Republi can party. An act to change iht venne in the case of G. W. Scofield vs. Martin Brnnges, from the Court of Common Pleas of Wyoming coun ty, came up for action in the House, the oth er day. but was laid aside.

A SNAKE IN A WOMAN'S STOMAOH. The wife of Mr. Parker, who re cently purchased an interest in the | A mimosa stone quarry, has been made cognizant of the terrible truth that she has within her stomach a liviug snake or lizard. For the past live hears she has suffered almost everything possible for a humau be ing, aud was supposed to be gradu ally dying with consumption. Some two weeks since a German physician from Lisbou. Linn county, beiug in towu, was requested to make an ex amination into ner ease to see if auy remedy coul 1 be devised to relieve her intense sufferings. The physician visited her aud be came at once satisfied that there was a living animal within her stomach. On last Thursday the starvation pro cess was begun and continued lor five days, little or no nourishment be iug taken. During this time the aui-* rnal repeatedly moved upward and into the throat producing terrible and i almost fatal strangulation, aud ruak iug it necessary to administer salt to | drive it downward. At such times the lower pact of the throat would be pressed outward in a most per : ceptible aud revolting manner. On Monday last the attempt was made to dislodge the loathsome crea ; ture by placing a pan of heated milk near the patient's mouth aud permitt ing her to inhale the steam. A poul tice of onious and garlic was applied to the stomach but, through mis j understanding, the ouious were cook ed aud their strength thereby mostly destroyed. The expei iment,however, was tried, hut the animal moved up 1 only a short distance, a green slime • being emitted from the mouth. Ttie patient is greatly prostrated by abstiueuce aud terrible suffering, but another effort will soou be made to relieve her, although it seems al most cer'ain that the animal, what i ever it is, has grown so large as to . make its egress through the throat ; impossible. Wc understand that the patient believed her tormentor to be i a snake ! The case is attracting great inter est, aud any new developments will be carefully noted for the benefit of our readers.— Anamosa (Iowa) Eu j reka. THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE AGENCY.— In answer to the request of a mem ber of Pennsylvania Legislature for an opinion as to the expediency of continuing the State Agency in Wash ington for the collection of pensions, &c., the Commissioner of Pensions, after acknowledging the great value of such agencies during the war, and for a time subsequent to its close, says : "The evidence to establish pen sion claims, except what is invaria bly procured by this office, from the Executive department, iqust now be obtained in tho localities where the claimants reside ; and pensions are also paid at agencies within the sev eral States, and not here in general. To transmit such evidence uud ap plication through an agcm y here does not facilitate but rather de ! ays actiou thereon, and it may justly be regarded as an unnecessary circum locution. TLe fact was otherwise when large numbers of soldiers were here or passing through the city on tber way Rome, and liable to fall in to the Lauds of unworthy solicitors of claims." THE GENERAL BANKRUPT LAW. One of the acts of Congress which closed on the 4th of March, was the passage of a general bankrupt, law. Tniß measure has been agitated for several years past, but lias always failed to secure sufficient support un til this winter. It became a law dur ing the closing hours of Congress. The new law is intended for the re lief of honest debtors. Under its provisions, any person whose debts exceed the sum of three hundred dollars, may become a voluntarily bankrupt, and be relieved from the claims of creditors 1 v the delivery for distribution of a'l bis assets. The proceedings for the discharge of bankrupts by this law are placed under the supervision of the United States Circuit Courts, with a subor dinate supervisory officer to be ap pointed in each Congressional Dis trict to be appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to be called a Register. To the Register the pariy desiring to avail himself of the bankrupt law makes applica tion,and by the creditors an assignee is appointed into whose bauds the bankrupt turns all his property for distribution The bankrupt can reserve to him self household and kitchen furniture and such other articles as fie may choose, not exceeding in value Jive hundred dollars, also the wt ariug apparel of himself and family equip ments if he had any, and such other property as may be exempted trom attachment and seizure under the iaws ot his State Distribution of the assets of the bankrupt is made in the following order : all costs of the proceedings in bankruptcy ; all debts due the United States ; all debts due the State ; wages due to auy employee of the bankrupt for a period not ex ceeding six months immediately pre ceding the commencement ol proceed ings in bankruptcy,and to an amount not exceeding £50,000. 'J'he balance to other creditors according to the amount of their claims, and without preference on account of date or any other cause. The bankrupt then receives from the Court a certificate ol discharge ! and cau commence the world auew ' iu business relations without fear of 1 old and unsatisfied judgments. No i bankrupt cau avail himself a second j time of the provisions of the law,un- ! less his assets will reach seventy per ! cent, ol his debts. All debtors whose claims have been credited by failure i in a fiduciary capacity are precluded ' from relief under this act The law is only intended for the re-' lief of honest debtors. Hence, iu or-1 der to avad himself of its benefits, tbe party must make a fair, full and bona Jide delivery to the assignee for ! the benefit of his creditors, of all his j efforts, otherwise he is debarred from the benefit of the law, and made li able to heavy penalties beside. All fraudulent proceedings designed to j defraud a creditor at the expense of 1 any other, will not entitle debtors to the relief extended by the law, but aie positively forbidden. The law is ot course very lengthy, and embraces many details, but the above are its leading provisions. It will be well for the public to become familiar with and remember them, for they closely concern every bussiness uian. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY IN THE SOPTH. —The Mobile Times improved the oc casion ol Washington's birthday to indulge in the following amusing rhetorical flight : He was born, he lived, he died a slaveholder and it is because he was a slaveholder that his life was purer, his mind more free, his soul more as piring, than ever was known in any other great man. We now witness the day held so sacred to all the na tions of the earth, lost in oblivion among those who were intended to be the direct inheritors of the blessings it secured, aud the memory of his sainted mother, dragged into the mire of blasphemous curses by the vilest off-springs of abolitionism. To day, also, is the fifth anniversary, of the inauguration of the "permanent'' Government of the late Confederate States of America—a nation which, like a dazzling meteor, has illumin ated the* political sky of this century and pissed Irom the glance of the world, leaving behind a track of glory, a halo of wisdom, statesmanship, bravery and devotion, unequalled in the annals of the world. THE Petersburg (\ a.) Times of the 22d nit., speaks thus of the sacred day and the immortal patriot whose birth it commemorates : "George Washington's natal day has come again. Better for the South had he never been born, and that for three generations this people, now hopelessly enslaved,* had been learning to oear the mild despotism of—the British crown." Can there bo any question as to the absolute necessity of military rule in a pection where leading newt papers boldly publish such unblush ing blasphemy ? If sentiments of patriotism—if regard for the memory of one whom we all love aud revere are not strong enough to shield bis name Irom abuse ] it even the grave do not shield him from base assault. Let the "strong arm" come down ou such wiih power. • Ncu) vliiDcrttsemcntg.
