The Radicals in the South.
The Radicals are endeavoring to pre
vent a reunion of the people of the coun
try by falsely representing that the whole
mass of the inhabitants of the Southern
States are arrayed in bitter and unrelent
imz hostility to Northern men and North
ern interests. This is the theme upon
which Radical members of Congress ad
dress their constituents; and the Radical
journals are crowded with letters harping
upon the same text. A letter from Fer
nandina, Florida, of Jnne Ist, published
in the New York Times, gives the follow
ing picture of how the warfare against
the Union and the peace of the country
is carried on by the Radicals and their
agents :
There is a terrible state of feeling in
t hi s city between the whites and blacks,
and between the original owners of prop
erty here and the new corners, or those
who have bought property at the direct
tax sales. In all of my late travels south
I have seen no such exclusiveness of bit
ter feeling. And, from all I can learn, a
large number of the Northern men are
the most to blame. I shall not pretend to
gii e you a detailed sketch of the state of
society in this letter, for fear of making
errors. Suffice it to say, there is a line
drawn, and you must be eitUr clear on
one side or the other. These Northern
men who have been sent out here to buy
property at the direct tax sales (which,
by the way, are the most shocking med
ley of fraud and rascality ever practiced
upon our government) have got up a se
cret society, have armed the negroes, and
threatened to resist the law. They hold
meetings at which they denounce the
President and General Foster (command
ing Florida) as traitors. The secret of all
this is, that at fraudulent sales they have
bought property at about five per cent.
its assessed value, and are determined to
11041 on to it. For pastime they engage
in writing to Northern newspapers, and
to Senators and members of Congress,
stereotyped falsehoods, in which they rep
resent the entire Southern people as dis
oyal and the like. All those who are
- own and brought up here, and all of those
Northern men who support or favor the
a Iministration, according to these " Gid
,(leorrites," as they are called,' come under
-the head of disloyal. A Mr. Friend, of
'Ohio, who was in the Federal army; a
Mr. Funstan, a merchan from Dey street,
ew York, and a Mr. thirst, another New
York merchant; Judge Stickney, one of
Ole Tax Commissioners. ' Marshal Magru
der, and some others--who happen to sup
pr., the policy of the President, are tic-
Lonu-ed as copperheads and traitors. Of
c the enure por - kion of the Southern
people—good, bad, and indifferent, loyal
disloyal—are denounced by these
‘a;orous sutlers' clerks as traitors par ex
•cilcnce. It is no uncommon thing for
,a lies to be insulted by some of this gang,
who are not associated with hardly at all
by the Federal and ex Federal officers
who are stationed or who are residing
here."
The policy of the destructionists who
now rule the nation is here clearly set
forth. They enact laws by the operations
of wifieh they hope the property of South
ern men will be forced into the market,
is order that their agents, some of whom
are how living at government expense,
may become the purchasers at a mere'y
nominal value. When the proceedings
under these forced sales are stated, the
persons are denounced as disloyal by the
agents of Radical employers, and the ne
groes armed and incited to attack them
and destroy what little they may have
saved from the general wreck. This is
the practical working of one portion of
the Radical programme. The same men
who are thus engaged in despoiling the
people of the South are also employed in
furnishing political material for use in the
North. They invent tales of Southern
disloyalty, and stories of cruelty to ne
groes, which are published in Northern
newspapers, repeated in Congress, and
adroitly managed by the Radical leaders
to keep up the sectional feeling on which
their political organization rests. The
best men in the land, men who have per
iled all for the Constitution and the Un
ion, are denounced by sutlers' clerks as
traitors, and their efforts to bring repose
to the country opposed by means of secret
organizations, composed of negroes and
their white associates. It is time the
people of the country should fully under
stand the agencies by which the Radicals
are disturbing the nation and preventing
that restoration which alone can bring
tranquility to the republic.
Soldier Love.
Over at Indianapolis, the radicals have
been all along making believe an immense
ardent love for the soldier—the. gallant
boys in blue—the Union-savers, -4;e. The

over, the rebellion.. suppressed, and all
that—failed to Bee the merits and claims
of four prominent soldier aspirants, Gen.
Maginnis, Col. ,Kneffier, Major Wilson,
and Capt. Wiley, and nominated stall-fed,
stay - at-home•from-war patriots, who don't ,
know the difference between gunpowder
and black sand !;—Dayton Empire.
Why a People or a Nation Nay be ha-
What the Fenians are doing—the
amount of money they raise—the spirit
and recklessness with which they expose
their lives, and what is worse, their per
sons to the peril of a terrible incarcera
tion if caught in Canada,—puzzle many
lookers on." Why is it ?" they ask.
Whence comes this spirit, this utter reck
lessness, this terrible hereditary hatred of
the Irishman to the Englishman ?
The answer is, that England conquered
Ireland, and governs it as a conquered
country,—not so severely now as twenty
five years ago, and with a severity every
year diminishing,--but, nevertheless, gov
erns it as a conquered country, and in the
most exciting of all excitements, its reli
gion. Hence, from father to son, from
mother to daughter, the Irishmen have
been taught to hate England, and Eng
land has supplied the fuel for the hate.
Scotland was practically conquered as Ire
land was, by England, but theoretically,
Scotland shared Empire in partnership
with England, and Scotland has been
governed ever as the equal of England.
The Scot, therefore, does not hate the
Englishman.
Now there is a moral in all this, for ns
of the United States. We of the North
have conquered the South. Two parties
have arisen up among us,—one conscrip
tive, punitory revengeful, some for more
hanging, and imprisoning,—all or almost
all, for governing that South as inferior,
subject people,—while the other would
re extend the right hand of fellowship,
and renew back relations, and old friends,
if, as an erring, yet as a free, self govern•
ing people: These two parties now half
govern,—Congress being on the proserip
ti‘e, Conscriptiv.e side, and the executive
on the pardoning side.
If the Congress policy prevails, the
South will hate the North, as Ireland
hates England,—as Poland hates Russia,
as the Italians hate Austria,—if the
President's and the Liberal Policy pre
vails, in 10 years, the South will be to
us as Scotland is to England, an ally, an
adjunct, a powerful friend. We then can
enforce the Monroe doctrine in Mexico
without firing a gun, and stand before
the world an united, an invincible people,
with no thorn nor sore in our side—and
so powerful, that our very word, when
just, will be the law of.nations.

Secretary Seward on Reconstruction-
The United States Senate have got the
plan of the Directory of Fifteen for re
constructing the Union under discussion.
Mr. Sumner wanted to postpone the mat
ter. Mr. Fessenden thought there had
been too much delay already, and the ma
jority agreeing with him, down went Mr.
Sumner and on went the debate. But
Mr. Seward, almost simultaneously, made
a speech at Auburn, New York, in which
he declarad the whole scheme unnecessa
iy, for the simple reason that the Union
is already restored and does not need to
be mended any further. He said :
" Between the Federal Governmentand
these restored and recognized State gov
ernments there exists now a more com
plete and practical harmony than has ev
er before prevailed between the Union
and so many of its members since it was
first established. What, then, does the
country actually need ? Most persons
say reconstruction. I think it needs no
such thing; the country is reconstructed
already. It was constructed in 1787. As
then constructed it was a Union of thir
teen—since multiplied to thirty six—free,
equal, separate, selfacting, and, in regard
to internal affairs, self governing States.
We do not reconstruct that which has not
been destroyed. There has, indeed been
an attempt at destruction, but it has fail
ed. The political system of 1787, con
structed by our forefathers, stands now
firm, compact, complete, and perfect, just
as it came from the builders' hands."
This rather knocks the pins from under
the Radical party in Congress, and they
must feel rather mortified to have one of
the shining lights of their party blow
away at a breath a measure of which the
gestation has been so painful and pro
tracted.
A White iulan's Government.
The celebrated remark of- Mr. Douglas
that " this Government was framed by
white men, for the benefit of white men
and their posterity," has been often ridi.
culed by the radicals, but the following
extract from the speech of Mr. Lincoln,
delivered at Columbus, Ohio, on the eve
of his election, shows that, he entertained
the same views
" I am not `now, nor ever have been, in
favor of making voters or jurors of ne
groes, nor of qualifying them to hold of
fice, nor intermarrying them with the
white people, and I will say, in addition
to this that there is a physical difference
between the white and black races which
I believe will forever forbid the two ra
ces living together on terms of social and
political equality. And, inasmuch as they
cannot so live while they do remain to
gether, there must be the position of su
periolF and inferior, and I, as much as any
other=an, am in Favor of bating the =-
pencir position assigned to the Oita
race."
MONTROSE, PA., TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1866.
Inclined to be Quarrelsome,
There was once a little, slim built fel
low, rich as a Jew, riding along a high
way in the State of Georgia, when he
overtook a man driving a drove of hogs,
by the help of a big, raw boned, six foot
two specimen of humanity. Stopping be
fore the last named individual, be accos
ted him :
" I say, are those your hogs ?"
" No, sir ; I am at work by the month."
" What pay might you be getting, my
friend ?"
"Ten dollars a month and whiskey
thrown in," was the reply.
" Well, look here I I'm a weak, little,
inoffensive man, and people are apt to im
pose upon me, d'ye see ? Now, I'll give
you twenty five dollars a month to ride
along with me and protect me," said Mr.
Gardner. "But," he added, "how might
you he on a fight ?"
" Never was licked in my life," rejoined
the six footer.
" Just the man I want. Is it a bar-
gain ?" queried Gardner.
Six footer ruminated.
" Twenty five dollars; double wages;
nothing to do but ride around and smash
a fellow's mug occasionally when he is
sassy."
They rode along, till just at night they
I..ached the village inn. Gardner imme
diately singled out the biggest fellow in
the room, and picked a fuss with him.
After considerable promiscuous jawing.
Gardner turned to his fighting friend and
intimated that, the whipping of that man
had become a sad necessity. Six footer
peeled, went in, and come out first best.
The second night at another hotel, the
same scene was re enacted. Gardner get
ting in a row with the biggest man in the
place, and six footer doing the fighting.
At last, on the third day, they came to
a ferry kept by a huge, double fisted man,
who had never been licked in his life.
While crossing the river, Gardner,
as
usual, began to find fault and "blow." The
ferryman naturally got mad, threw things
around, and told his opinion of their kind.
Gardner then turned to his friend and
broke the intelligence to him " that he
was sorry, but it was absolutely necessary
to thrash the ferryman."
Six footer nodded his head bat said
nothing. It was plainly to be seen that
he did not relish the job by the way. He
shrugged his shoulders, but there was no
help for it. So, when they reached the
shore, both stripped and at it they went.
Up and down the bank, over the sand in
to the water, they fought, scratched, bit
and rolled, till at the end of an hour the
ferryman gave in. Sixfooter was trium
phant, but it, had been rough work. Go
ing up to his employer, he scratched his
head for a moment, and then broke forth :
" Look here, Mr. Gardner, your salary
sets mighty well—but—Pm—of—the—
opinion—that your inclined to be quarrel
some. Here, I've only been with you
three days, and I've licked the three big
gest men in the country ! I think the
firm had better dissolve; for yon see, Mr.
Gardnar, I'm afraid you're inclined to be
quarrelsome, and reckon I'll draw."
Car The following, from a correspon
dent at Brat-afield, Connecticut, is not a
bad bit upon small organs in country
churches:
A lady from New York was up here,
having been spending the summer in the
country. As this was to be the last Sab
bath of her visit she took her son a child
of four years old, to church with her for
the first time. As soon as the organ
commenced its strains, the little fellow
started up with delight; be looked back
to the gallery, be stretched his neck; he
got up on the cushions and raised himself
to his very tallest; his mother remonstra
ted with him and told him to sit down.
But he refused, and continued gazing
aloft with straining eyes.
" Sit down," said the mother.
" I won't," he cried, so as to be heard
all around, " I want to see the monkey."
There is quite a party in our church op
posed to the organ, and they tell this sto
ry with great gusto.
A DANGEROUS CASE.—Some twenty
five years ago, a farmer's barn in the vi
cinity of Worcester was struck by light
ning, and burned to the ground. Many
of the citizens had gone to the fire, when
a fop, well strapped and dickied, with his
cap on one side of his head, met a cele
brated doctor and accosted him in this
wise :
" Can yon, ah, tell me, doctah, how far
they have succeded in extinguishing the
conflagration of the ah, unfortunate yeo
man's barn ?"
The doctor eyed the individual atten
tively, dropped his head as usual for a
moment, and then, slipping his thumb in
to his vest pocket, took out a couple of
pills and handed them to him, saying :
"Take these, air, and go to bed; and if
you do not feel any better in the morning,
call at my office!"
—A White man's Bureau, it is rumor
ed, has been thought of by home of the
".Copperheads" in Congress; but Thadde
us Stevens thinks that it would cost too
muoh, and benefit a very unworthy class
of persons. That Battles the question.
Sublime Spectacle
A jet of lava of more stupendous pro
portions than any ever conceived of is de
scribed by Mr. Coan, in the Honolulu
Friend, of February, in his account of the
eruption of Mauna Loa, on the Island of
The eruption commenced near the sum
mit of the mountain, and only five or six
miles southeast of the eruption of 1843.
For two days its summit crater sent down
its burning floods along the northwestern
slope of the mountain, then suddenly the
valve closed, and the great furnace apps- 1
rently ceased to blast. After 86 hours
the fitsia was seen bursting out of the
eastern side of the mountain, about mid
way from the top.
It would seem that the summit lava
had found a subterranean tunnel, for half
way down the mountain, when coming to
a weak point, or meeting with some ob
struction, it burst out vertically, sending
a column of incandescent fusia, 1000 -feet
high in the air. This fire jet was about
100 feet in diameter, and it was sustained
for twenty days and nights, varying in
height from 500 to 1,000 feet.
The disgorgement, from the mountain
side was often with terrific explosions,
which shook the hills, and with detona
tions which were heard for forty miles.—
This column of liquid fire was of surpass
ing brilliancy, of intense and awful gran
deur. As the jet issued from the orifice
it was at white heat. As it ascended
higher and higher, it reddened like blood,
deepening in its color, until, in its rapid
descent, much of it assumed the color and
density of clotted gore.
In a few days it had raised a cone some
300 feet high around the burning orifice,
and as the showers of burning minerals
fell in living torrents upon the cone, it be
came one vast heap of glowing coals,
flashing and quivering with restless ac
tion and sending ont the heat of ten thou
sand furnaces in full blast.
The struggles in disgorging the fiery
masses, the upward rush of the column,
the force which raised it 1,000 vertical
teet, and the continuous falling back of
thousands of tons of mineral farm into the
throat of the crater and over a cone of
glowing coals one mile in circumference,
was a sight to inspire awe and terror, at
tended with explosive shocks which seem
ed to rend the mural ribs of the moun
taind sounds to waken the dead and
startle the spirits in Hades.
From this fountain a river of fire went
rushing and leaping down the mountain
with amazing velocity, filling up basins
and ravines, dashing over precipices, and
exploding rocks, until it reached the for
ests at the bottom of the mountain, where
it burned its fiery way, consuming the
jungle, evaporating the water of the
streams and pools, cutting down the trees
and sending up clouds of smoke in murky
columns of fleecy wreaths to heaven.
All eastern Hawaii was a sheet of light,
and our night was turned into day. So
great was the illumination at night, that
one could read without a lamp, and trav
elling and recreation might go on as in
daytime. Mariners at sea saw the light
at 200 miles distant.
It was a pyrotechnic display more mag
nificent and marvelous than was made by
an early monarch. In the daytime the
atmosphere for thousands of square miles
would be filled with a murky haze, thro'
winch the sunbeams shed a pale and sick
ly light. Smoke, steam, gases, ashes,
cinders—furnace or capilliary, or filamen
tary, or vitrifications called Pelo's hair—
floated in the air, sometimes spreading
out like a fan, sometimes careering in
swift currents upon the wind, or gyrating
in every changing color in the fitful
breezes. The point from which the fire
fountain issued is 10,000 feet above the
level olthe sea, thus making the igneous
pillar a distinct object of observation
along the whole eastern coast of Hawaii.
The rivers of fire from the fountain
flowed about thirty-five miles, and stopt
within ten miles of Hilo.
THE PRESSURE TOO STRONG.—No
threats of violence, no warnings of assas
sination have modified the unsparing
boldness with which the editor of the
Salt Lake City Vedette has denounced
the leaders of the Mormon hierarchy. He
has defied all shapes and forms of ven
geance—but one. His timorous side has
been discovered, and thus he confesses
himself subdued : " Now" as the lark
said to her young ones, it is time for us
to leave !' We could stand the " bloody
hand" and the ‘iikeddadle,' or the other
warnings, but the following gets us.
Just count us out :

The Number of the Reconstruction
Amendments.
" Mack," of the Cincinnati Commercial
tells urrtthe following :
I called at the Senate document room
yesterday morning and requested its su
perintendent to furnish me with a copy of
each amendment submitted so far to the
reconstruction resolutions of the special
committee. As nearly as I can recollect.,
I had a right to expect about ten or
twelve, and thought they would be im
mediately handed to me. The accommo
dating gentleman to whom I had applied I
immediately commenced the collection of I
the requested documents. He got ten of
them together in less time than it takes
to record the fact, and as he was looking
Ifor the eleventh, 1 suggested that there
were no more. He looked at me in amaze
ment, and smilingly remarked that he
guessed I "hadn't been keeping track of
this thing."
Soon the twentieth number was reach
ed, and still it appeared the work was not
complete. I thought my documentary
friend had certainly mistaken my request,
and had construed it into a modest de
mand for all the bills of the session from
civil rights in December to the pension.
ing of John Smith last Monday, and took
the liberty of disabusing his mind by as
suring him that I had only wanted the
pending amendments to House joint reso
lution 127.
" That's what I supposed," said he, in
creasing the pile to twenty-five, as be ut
tered the words : " Twenty-five—thirty ;
thirty-five—forty—"
" Hold on, now. I'm in earnest about
, this matter. No joking." For really, I
I thought I was being made the victim of a
• joke, and was beginning to lose my tem
' per. He of the document room, seeing
this, began to lose his temper too, and
sharply retorted that nobody was trying
to fool me, and that be guessed that I
didn't know what I wanted.
I repeated, for the third or fourth time
that I wanted the reconstruction amend
ments, and only those now pending in the
Senate.
My eyes were damned in a good-na
tured sort of way, and I was told to dry
up—which I did. By this time I was
hugging number fifty-five to my palpita
ting breast, and the end seemed as far off
as ever. Fifty-five, fifty-six, fifty-seven,
fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty, and the cry
was still they come.
Presently there were signs that my
mission had been accomplishd. The pi
geon-holes had &l been ransacked. I had
reached No. sixty-five.
"That's all for the present," innocently
remarked the superintendent to me, and
then turning to a messenger, close by, .he
said : "Go down to the printing office
and tell them to send up all the amend
ments to the House joint resolution 127,
after No. sixty-five."
I thought I couldn't wait for the defi
ciency, satisfied that my stock in hand
was already large enough to keep me sup
plied with light literature and romance
for the summer months.
" A Dying Political Party."
The development of the views of the
Cabinet, it is noted, indicates the hope
lessness of repairing the breach in the Re
publican party, or as the New York Sun
says, the temper in which the Cabinet
speeches were commented upon in the
House of Representatives on Saturday :
"Is a sign that the rupture has been
materially widened by those speeches,and
there is now no probability that a recon
ciliation can be effected. This condition
of affairs in the ranks of the Republican
party is as sure an omen of its downfall,
as was the division in the Fenian ranks
in respect to that organization. No politi
cal party can long withstand external as
saults after it has lost that cohesive pow
er which gives it unity, and enables it to
present a solid and compact front, to its
political enemy. The decline will hence
forth be steady—perhaps rapid. It will
fall gradually but surely, and in propor
tion to its decline the opposing party will
strengthen and increase in power. It is
a question as to how long it will take for
this decadence to wrench the band of the
Republican party from the control of the
Government. That point may be reach
ed in one year, or it may take five years
to.reach it. The probability is that the
former length of time will prove nearer
correct, for a political party approaching
disruption is like the current approaching
the cataract—its velocity being increased
in proportion to its nearness to the fall.
The Republican party is now running out
its sands of life. A little while longer and
it will be laid upon the shelf with the de
funct parties of other days, and history
will write for it this epitaph : 'lt outlived
its usefulness.' "
The Freedmen's Bureau.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
(Rep.) speaks thus of this humbug: "The
Freedmen's Bureau , is a wrong to the
North and South alike, to , the white and
to the black. It has., no right place in
Government management , and is so man
ifestly opposed to the laws which govern
labor and capital, that it can only do
harm. The sooner the burden of millidns
of dollars is lifted from the country the
better,
i VOLUME XXIII, NUMBER 26.
" I believe a woman •would do a great
deal for a dance," said Dr. Growling;
" they are immensely fond of salutatory
motion. I remember once in my life I
used to flirt with one who was a great fa
vorite in a provincial town where I lived,
and confided to me that she had no stock
ings to appear in, and without them her
presence at the ball was out of the ques
tion."
" That was a hint for you to buy the
stockings," said Dick.
" No, you're out," said Growling. Sliie
knew that I was as poor as herself; but
though she could not rely on my purse,
she had every confidence in my taste and
judgment, and consulted me on a plan she
formed for going to the ball in proper
twig. Now, pray, what do you think it
was ?"
" To go in cotton, I suppose," returned
Dick.
"Out again, sir—you'd never guess;
and only a woman could have hit upon
the expedient. It was the fashion in those
days for ladies in full dress to wear pink
stockings, and she proposed to paint her
legs!"
1 ‘ Painting her legs !" they all exclaimed
in surprise.
" Fact, sir," said the doctor, " and she
relied upon me for telling her if the cheat
was successful."
" And was it ?" asked Durfy.
" Don't be in a burry, Tom. I com
plied, on one condition, namely, that I
should be the painter."
" Oh, you old rascal," said Dick. .
" A capital bargain," said Durfy.
" But not a safe covenant," added the
attorney.
" Don't interrupt me, gentlemen," said
the doctor. " I got some rose pink, ac
cordingly, and I dafy all the hosiers in
Nottiugham to make a tighter St than I
did on little Jenny; a prettier pair of
stockings I never saw.
"And she went to the ball?" asked
Dick.
" She did."
" And the trick succeded 1" inquried
Durfy.
" So completely," said the doctor,"that
several ladies asked her to recommend
her dyer to them. So you see what a wo
man will do to go to a dance. Poor little
Jenny ! She was a merry little minx. By
the by, she boxed my ears that night foe
a joke I made about the stockings."
"Jenny," said I, " for fear your stock
ings should fall down when yon are dan
cing, hadn't you better let me paint a pair
of garters on them."
On the Fourth of July next Ole soldiers
of Pennsylvania are to return to the State
authorities the flags which they bore in
the late war. Their tattered condition
will plainly tell their history, and it will
be a pleasant sight to many a battle
scarred veteran to see the emblem of his
devotion.
It will not be without significance eith
er, for while it will tell him that thirty
six States are in the Union, his reading
of the proceedings of Congress confronts
him with the fact that the members of
that body still refuse to recognize the ac
complishment of that work for which ho
toiled and won, and that, although he is
discharged, that peace to which he looked
forward with such hopefulness is some
thing far in the future in their eyes. He
sees on that flag each star of equal lustre,
and the full number of States in the Union
represented. Yet he is tokl by Congress
that but twenty-five States ate members
of the Union. What a contradiction
nr The ticket nominated by the &-
unionists of Allegheny county must be a
hard oue. The Pittsburg Republic (Re
publican) says:
" The legislative ticket has not a man
of culture or legal knowledge sufficient to
draft a bill, and nearly all the other posi
tions are filled with old political hacks,
who have been too long about the Court
House, and whoare too well schooled in
its peculiar ethics, to expect an honest
and faithful discharge of duty."
The Republic expresses itself as hearti
ly "tired of the miserable crew who do
the politics for Allegheny county, unli t
will hail with feelings of gratitude any
movement which looks to the removal of
the incubus which bas so long cursed and
well nigh ruined the country." Scarcely
any change that might be made in that ,
county could be for worse. The corrup
tion of overgrowth has struck deep there.
