Gen. Sheridan Removed.
The President has ordered the transfer
of General Sheridan to the Department of
Missouri. 'General George H. Thomas is
to succeed bim in his present command,
headquarters at New Orleans, while Gen.
Winfield S. Hancock is to assume com
mand of the Department of the Cumber
land in plEtce of Thomas.
Negro Lawyers.
An ambitious African in Pittsburgh
sought admission to the Bar as an attor
ney-at-law. Bat his white brethren dodge
tho volition and ))delay action. Have they
some respect for our constitution and
laws, or are they= timid and seek to evade
the'question till after election?
This county is the only one that has
brought its Bar up to the sublime colored
level by embracing the black brother.—
But in this instance the black one did not
consent to remain here, Let the Pitts
burgh man come to Montiose and he will
find a committee of lawyers eager to sc.
ceyot blot, as a matter of principle and
"policy."
Our Delegate rileetinp.
The Age remarks that - the approaching I
delegate elections nip attracting the seri
ous attention of the Democracy through
out the state. No one dolibts that if
goon nominations are made
t • et*mo t
localities, the Democratic vote will be im
mensely increased. The masses are get-
ting.tired of the corruption and misrule
of (he Radical party, and they intend to
have a change this fall. Let every Dem
°drat, therefore, go to the delegate elec
tions and see for himself that this impor
tant matter is not neglected. It is easy
to get good conventions, which will give
us sound tickets, and then victory will be
assured. But all attempts to sacrifice
principle to " policy," by nominating un
sound men, will only lead to defeat or
future betrayal. Nominate TRUE Demo
crats; those, too, who are competent for
the offices in question. •
CoNcrtuss.—ln answer to a correspond
ent some weeks ago, we stated in these
columns that we did not know whether R.
B. Little, Esq. was a candidate for Con
gress or not. Recently, however, friends
of Mr. „Little request us to` announce
that - he - consents to accept the nomination,
if each be the wishes of the party.
Jury Commissioner.
The new jury law, which is about to go
into operation, is intended to secure to
each party half the jurymen. Two jury
commissioners are to be elected in Octo
ber, as inspectors of election are chosen
---each voter casting a ballot for one can
didate only. This secures each party a
commissioner, and the two commission
ers select all the jurors by placing alter
nate names in the•wheel.
It is important, therefore, that our con
vention nominate a first rate man for that
office; one who will not only fully ascer
tain but insist upon the power given him
by the law.
The Surratt Controversy.
It has become known that the "
court" which condemned Mrs. Sur
ratt recommended her to the mercy of
the President; but Mr. Johnson declares
that the recommendation was not shown
to him and that he knew nothing of it
until long after the execution.
There is no longer any doubt that those
twins of infamy, Stanton and Holt, sup
preoeca tho rooommondatiort,- nod loo s
after the President had approved the
loath pntenc . e affixed it themselves to
the record. The New York Tribune's
Washington correspondent recently said :
The President still denies that the re
commendation of mercy was among the
papers presented to him ,by Judge Holt
on the sth of July, 1865, when the Exec
utive approval of the sentences of the
assassination conspirators was written out
by Judge Holt and signed by the Presi
dent. Mr. Johnson further asserts that
the sheets on which the Court record was
written were not fastened together when
presented to him, but the whole matter
has since been made up and fastened to
gether,by an eyelet, showing that the rq
commendation for commutation must have
been separated, and kept in a different,
place from the balance of the record. The
President refers to Pitman's official ac
count of the trial, which has no mention
of the recommendation of the Court,
though it• purports to give copies of all
the papers connected with the case. This
publication was prepared by the authority
of the Secretary of War, and under the
superintendence of Colonel Burnett, who,
to use .Judeg Holt's words, would be "re
sponsible to this Bureau (Military Justice)
for its strict accuracy." Three months
after the trial, Col. Burnett certifies to the
faithfulness and accuracT : :of the compila
tion aforesaid. No - copy _of the paper be
ing found in the book, Hr. Johnson takes
Col. Brirnqtt's certificate:as corroborative
of the theory that the recommendation for
commutation was not placed with the other
part of the record until long after the trial,
and that consequently he could not have
bad it before him when the sentence was
approved.
Radical Reconstruction.
The work of reconstruction is at last
fairly commenced in Florida in the organ
ization of the Reptehdcao party.—Radical
paper.
This is what is called recodstruction by
the Radicals—" the organization of the
Republican . party." Reconstruction does
not mean, with them, a restoration of the
Union—of civil government—reduction of
the army, of national expenditures and
taxes—the return of amity between the
States, of business intercourse and those
blessings which justice to all sections
would secure; but "the organization of
the Republican party." Just here is the
mischief. The ruling party cares nothing
for country beyond party interest. War,
famine, anarchy, taxation, anything, rather
than the defeat of the Republican party.
Mr. Sumner's swelling philanthropy for
the negro all resolved itself into the con
sideration of how far the negrO could be
used to strengthen the Republican• party.
This was his calculation in making negro
suffrage, universal. He did not dwell up
on the justice of the proposition, but took
his slate and pencil and figured tip the ad
vanthge it would be in gaining party vic
tories—in keeping the power and patron
age'of the general government in the
hands of himself and his political associ
ates. This is the beginning and the end
of, his philanthropy and his patriotism,
and of his,party associates.—Boston Pogt.
Facts to be Remembered
When Horace Greeley signed his name
to the bail bond of Jefferson Davis, the
whole Abolition pack, or to use his own
language,"a concentrated howl of denun
ciation and rage was sent up from every
of to pEoinitt" . him "by the little creatures
whom God, for some inscrutible purpose,
permits to edit a majority of" the Radical
journals, and they denounce him without
Faint or mercy, as a traitor, and in league
with traitors.
Years ago, when this same Horace
Greeley published in his Tribune the Ad
dress to the American Flag, one verse of
which reads:
"Tear down the flaunting lie,
Half-mast the starry Flag,
Insult no summer's sky,
With Hale's polluted rag,"
not a single press of his party ever gave
him a mild rebuke for his deep insult to
the Star-Spangled Banner.—Statesman.
Savage Warfare.
" I have burned seventy mills filled
with grain : I have burned two thousand
barns containing the plentiful crops of the
late harvests, with all the agricultuatil im
plements: I have destroyed innumerable
dwellings..-in short, I have turned the
rich Shenandoalrvalley, frpm Winchester
to Christianburg ; a distaribe of a hundred
miles, into a desert of waste."—Gen.P.H.
Sheridan.
IRrA short time ago a boy, six years
old, living with his mother at Springfield,
Massachusetts, stole $95 from his maternal
protector, and disposed of it among his
juvenile playmates. To punish him for the
thieft, the humane laey tied him hand and
foot to a post, and kept his stark naked,
out of doors, in sun and storm, every day
for a Week. Not content with such brutal
treatment, she kept him for a fortnight e
thed in a similar way, to a bed-post in th
house. Now bad that occured in a South,
ern State, and had the victim of this heart
less cruelty been a black child, how quick
ly would Mr. Sumner have demanded
more " reconstruction" for the section
Where the offence was committed !
—The Radicals used to object to being
called the Black Republican party. Now,
as in ten States their only adherents and
supporters are blacks—as they propose to
fill Congress with negroes, to put the
whole South under negro rule, and to
have a negro Vice-President—what are
they if they are not Black Republicans ?
Can anything be blacker than such repub
licanism ?
—lt is announced that, with but ten
exceptions, the entire legal fraternity of
Philadelphia are in favor of the election
of Judge Sharswood. Thiff fact, and the
dia.t., during the war, the
Philadelphia bar united in a general letter
requesting bim to be a candidate for
President - J sage, snows taut Jua s .,
wood commands the respect and confi
dence, in a most eminent degree, of those
who have been brought, into the closest
and most intimate business relations with
him.
—Rev. 11. S. Platt, the agent of the
Connecticut Grand Lodge of Good Tem
plars, employs a man, (1) a member of the
order, at £52 a day, to go round and drink
with and make information against liquor
sellers. In a recent liquor trial the infor
mer was "pumped" of the fact that he
drinks from three to twelve times a day,
and that he has frequently to lay by and
recruit after his, arduous labors. 'We
should think so. He ought to lay by for
a considerable time after a job of that
kind, and his 'Reverend' employer ought
to lie with him.
—The returns from Kentucky improve
as they officially come in. In
. 103 coun
ties, Helm, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, has a majority of 56,000 oTer
Barnes, Radical ; 74,000 over Kinkhead,
Independent ; and about 43,000 over both.
Well done !
—Sixteen of the most populous coun
ties of Florida report 2,586 whites regis
tered, and 6,073 negroes. Leon county
registers 47 whites and 1,267 negroes!—
That's what Radicalism is bringing the
country to. Suppose you were living in
Florida, voters of Pennsylvania, how
would you like it ?
—The American men-of-war Hartford
and Wyoming attacked the pirates of the
Island of Formosa early in June. A party
of sailors and marines effected a landing,
and had asbarp fight of five honra du
ration with the pirates. After subjecting
the island to a severe bombarding, the
ships sailed for Shanghai. Fifteen officers
and rhea were sun-struck during the en
gagement, and Lieutenant Slidell Mac
kenzie received a mortal wound.
rr2r Daniel Webster, in his speech on
the. Specie Circular, made a declaration
which we recommend to those Radical
papers who "keep standing" Judge Share
wood's declaration of the unconstitution
ality of the legal tender law. Said Mr.
Webster: "Most unquestionably there is,
and there can be no legal tender in this
country, under the authority of this gov
ernment or any other, but gold and silver.
This is a constitutional principle, perfectly
plain and of the very highest importance.
Congress has no power to substitute paper
or anything else for coin as a tender."
—The Radical organ of Philadelphia
liad a story, the other day, about a " reb
el" attack upon a negro meeting held at
Centreville, Maryland, by Judge Bond
and several Radicals of the Negro Bureau
The Radical organ published at Centre
ville denies the whole story, and says it
was "cooked up in Baltimore?'
—A Nashville paper states that only one
white man (!) in the 9th ward of that city
voted for Brownlow. All the rest who
voted for him were negroes.
The Radical Conspiracy
As we have before stated, under date
of August sth, 1867, Hon. John M.Binck-
I ey, acting Attorney General of the United
States, during the illness of Attorney Gen- I
eral Stanbery, transmits to the President
an official report ion the application of
Charles A. Dunbaln, alias Sanford COllO.
ver, for pardon. Conover was convicted
in the District of Columbia Courts of per
jury bPfore the Judiciary Committee of
the House, in swearing to a false state
ment before that Committee relative to
the connection of Jefferson Davis and
other leading Confederates with the plot
to assassinate President Lincoln. On
conviction he was sentenced to ten years
imprisonment in the Penitentiary.
The official publication makes discov
eiies that should be shocking to every
honest man in Christendom. It shows
that Judge Advocate General Holt, A. G.
Riddle, a member of Congress from Ohio;
James M. Ashley, the notorious impeach
er; Benjamin F. Butler, and others, were
concerned in one of the vilest plots that
has ever disgraced the annals of any
nation, ancient or modern, savage or civil
ized. Of course, the lesser lights of the
impeachment movement—our Congress
man Williams, for instance—were con
nected with this diabolical scheme to en
trap the President, but their names do
not appear in the proceedings. The proof
of the plot is of the most convincing char
acter. It does not alone consist of the
confession of Conover, but in letters in
the handwriting of Ashley, and other
Radicals.
WHAT THE PLOT WAS
The conspiracy was formed to procure
the pardon, by the President, of Conover,
aid his restoration to the rights of citi
zenship, thereby making him a competent.
witness before any court in the land.
Ashley, Holt, Butler and Riddle certified
that he was a worthy object for executive
clemency. In consideration of their ser
vices in his behalf, Dunham alias Conover,
was to testify to the following atrocious
falsehoods, his evidence being supported
by that of other witnesses, drilled to their
part in the villainous perjury, by the con
spiring Congressmen :
First--That Booth was familiar and in
timate with Vice President Johnson prior
to the assassination.
Second—That the Vice President corre
sponded with Booth.
Third—That the placing of Atzerodt in
the Kirkwood House, on the night of the
assassination, was a sham, to make it ap
pear-Johnson was an intended victim, and
thus distract all suspicion of his Outliving
at the murder of President Lincoln.
Fourth—That Booth had stated to his
most intimate friends in New York, that
in killing Liuco!n, he was acting with the
knowledge of Mr. Johnson.
Could anything more oatanio—anything
breathing more truly the spirit of hell it
galf—he devised than this scheme to ruin.
and possibly even take the life of the
President, and consign his name to an
immortality of infamy? Yet such was
the plot of the Republican leaders.
Education of Freedmen.
The Commissioner of the Freedmen's
Bureau has received a report from John
M. Laughton, Esq., general inspector of
schools under the supervision of the Bu
reau,' giving the condition and circum
stances connected with the education of
freedmen in the State of Mississippi. The
report notices a very thorough earnest
ness on the part of the white people of
Mississippi to see the freedmen properly
educated, and schools are being organ
ized and established in all parts of the
State: In some places the whites have
have given the freedmen lands on' which
to build school houses, while in many oth
er places, as at Canton, Corinth, Jackson,
and Odessa, they have aided the freed
men by contributions of money for pur
chasing "sites on which to build school
houses.
The inspector says in his report that ho
talked with no leading, influential white
man in Mississippi, whatever may have
been his views with regard to the late re
bellion, and the abolition of slavery, who
did not express the opinion, apparently
with full earnestness, that the abolition of
slavery is a fixed fact, and that the freed
men Ought to be educated.
IWIn an article opposing somebody's
plan for paying off the Federal bonds
with a new issue of greenbacks, the New
York Tribune says, " Such an act would
shame any swindler who ever uttered
counterfeit money or passed off bogus
checks," and that "No one will counten
ance any of these devices for evading
debts instead of paying them, who is not
in heart and soul a villian." What, then,
does it say to the act of the Radical offi
cials of Pennsylvania who, a couple of
years ago, repudiated the contract which
the State had entered into to pay interest
on the State loan in coin, and gave its
creditors greenbacks ? .41re they swind
lers and villians ?
If it was constitutional and honest to
pay good debts in greenbacks, it will be
constitutional and honest to do it again.
x' The Queen has signed the English
reform bill, and it is now one of the stat
utes of the realm. This bill increases in a
large degree the number of persons who
can have a voice at the ballot-box in Eng
land, and will consequently make a change
at the next election for members of Par
liament. That event will therefore be
looked forward
,to with intense interest,
and party lines assume new forms and
means of courting public favor. Minis
ters were wise in accepting the bill as it
stands at present, and the Reformers gain
much by accepting this concession, in
stead of contending for a still nearer ap
proach to full and entire " manhood suf
frage." The passage of this bill marks an
epoch in English history.

THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
As an Investment.
The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad,
now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and form
ing, with its western connections, an unbroken line
across the continent, attracts attention to the value of
the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now
offer to the public. '1 he first question irked by pru
dent investors is, "Are these bonds securer' Neat,
"Are they a prolltabli investmentr To reply in
brief : -
let. The early completion of the whole great line to
the Pacific is as certain as any future business event
can be. The Government grant of over twenty million
acres of land and fifty million dollars in its own bonds
practically guarantees it. One fourth of the work is
already done. and the track continues to be laid at the
rate of two miles a day.
2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are fumed up
on what promises to he on e of the most profitable lines
of railroad in the country. For many years it must be
the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific; and
h ing without competition, it can maintain remunera
tive rates.
3d 425 miles of this road are finished, and fully
equipped with depots, locomotives, cars; ac., and two
trains are daily running each way. The materials for
the remaining 92 miles to the eastern base of the Rocky
:Mountains are on hand, and it is under contract to he
done ii.......eptember.
4th. The net earnings of the sections already finished
I ere sereral times greater than the gold interest upon the
First .Mortgage Bonds upon such sections, and if not
another mile of the road were bnlit, the part already
completed wonid not only p y interest and expenses,
but be profitable to fbe Company.
sth. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can Se issued
only as the road progreteee,Land therefore can never be
in the market unless they represent a bow:fide property.
6th. Their amount is etrictly limited by law tea sum
equal to what is granted by the U. S. Government, and
for which it takes a second lien as its security. This
amount. upon the first 517 miles west from Omaha is
only $t6,000 per mile.
7th. The fact that the U. S. Government considers a
second lien upon the road a good investment, and that
noc or the etarowdapt railrond builders of the country
hav Lo e already paid in five million dollars upon the stock
(which is to them a third lien), may yetil inspire confi
dence in a first lien.
,Stti. Although It Is not claimed that there can be any
better securities than Governtnents, there are parties
who consider a first mortgage upon path a property as
Ibis the very beet security in the world, and who sell
their Governments to re invest M these bonds—thus
securing a greater interest.
9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are offered
for the present at 90 rents on the dollar and accrued in
terest. th••y nre the cheapest recnrity In the market,
being more then 15 per cent. less than U. 8. 8toc1:s.
10th. At the current rate of premium on gold, they
pay
Over Nine per Cent. Interest
