How Not To Do It.
Congress has been over five months in
session, and has not passed or 'mended
the Tariff; has not passed or amended the
Revenue Laws; has not done anything
for the commerce, shipping or labor of the
country; has not passed or amended any
laws for the settlement of the Indians; I
has not passed the Funding bill ; has not
amended the currency acts; has done no
thing for resumption of specie payments;
has not settled difficulties with Canada
respecting Reciprocity, or with San Do
mingo and St. Thomas, respecting pend
ing treaties. It has, however, ousted half
♦dozen Democratic members of Congress
duly elected by the people; has kept up
taxes both by duties and square levy to,
the utmost ; has re-admitted the States of
Tens and Mississippi in order to get more
Totes for bad jobs, but has again kept out
Georgia, with twb Senators, who were
Georgians, but who could not be bought,
bribed or coated to do a mean or bad as
tion.
If it takes five and a half months to do
and not to do all these things—to do all
that is wrong, and fail to do anything
that is right—what may we expect by the
time the session is extended to July or
August P By reference to our Congress
ional summary, it will be seen that noth
ing is doing but to talk, talk—buncombe ;
and draw, draw—salaries.
Staid by the Helm.
Never in the history of our country was
it more necessary that the pure Demo
cratic principles that have ever character•
iced our noble party, shconld again bear
sway, and never was that party more un
animous in its determination to be fitly
arrayed for the contest, to resent the de
bauching libel upon the purity and sanc
tity of the angle-Saxon blood that fired
the souls of the heroes of "seventy-six,"
and which to-day boils with just indigna
tion in the veins of their true descend
ants,than is now manifested from staid old
Connecticut on the Atlantic shore to gold-
en California on' the placid Pacific. The
Radical party who have been pilfering one
by one from the those blood-bought
rights preserved to us by adherence to the
pure principles of Democracy, and who
have thus far succeeded so well in eluding
the popular will of the masses, like every
other assassin who has expiated his crime
upon the scaffold, have been led on step
by step in their mad career, until so hard
ened in crime, with their greedy lnst for
power, and fearing that itazgri ht Aip.fron3
Aerate attempt upon the life, liberty pros
perity and happiness of the nation to per
petuate their rule, as to merit by the no
ble white freemen o' our country a cer
tain and ignominious death at*the ballot
bar.
We are glad to see such a unite?. oppo
sition in the ranks of the Democracy ev
erywhere to bartering away their pure
principles in a wild bunt after negro votes.
We claim that the opposition of the Dem
ocratic party to this base fraud and decep
tion, which confers the ballot upon the
negro, is not from any prejudice or ill-
Will to the black race, bat from the firm
belief that it is unsafe to trust them with
the ballot, and they therefore will appeal
only to white men to rally to the stand
ard and wrest power from that organiza
tion which has inflicted this nefarious
outrage and wrong upon us. We find no
fault with the negro. If a man should pil
fer from ns our dinner and place it before
a hungry dog, we should expect he-would
dewy. it, and we should attempt no re
dress upon the dog.
We chin that this nation was planted,
reared and defended by white men. They
felled the trees, planted. the corn, erected
the log babies, the churches, the school
houses, projected the political structure,
fought the battle of the Revolution,
framed the Constitution, and bunched
the nation on its career of unequalled
prosperity
This was the work of white men, and
when the Radical party who have exhaust
ed every means to perpetuate power, are
forced by deception and fraud to attempt
to change our social and political govern
ment by the aid of negro votes, the De
mocracy will call upon the whte race to
resent the insult and wrong.
The soldiers who bear the sears of ma
ny a bard fought battle, the workingmen
'rho haie been saddled with an enorm
ous taxation to support the government
in its extravagance, when_ they see that
all their blood and treasure has been ez
pended not to maintain our noble char
ter of liberties and unfurl to the breeze
the adored flag of our once happy Union,
but has been prostituted to the basest
puirses, and finally, to cap the climax,
when it, is proposed to 471 g them down
with-the nauseating pill of negro equali
ty, will enlist under the Old Banner of
white suffrage, which Democracy has ev
er kept floating in the breeze.
Let the Democracy of Susquehanna
minty be marshaling for the glorious
contest. Id there be no shuffling of the
Aealto4Topitiate the "new citizens," or
staimiontng in the leastlof those noble
principles which.. ha ve , "heretofore a.

Bakal tyranny and oppression. Let us

as they have many of our white foreign
born citizens, but let us be honest with
them, and melanin, the suof the
white race which was o 'lied of God,
and instituted by man, in each and every
fundamental principle of our governuient,
and which to-day the negro knows and is,
free to acknowledge.
The shout of victory which has accom
panied almost every political contest since
the promulgation of this most debasing
act, bespeaks that the white, honest, har
dy yeomanry of this nation are awake to
the imminent danger of • the sanctity of
their hearth-stones under the, conniving
rule of the present corrupt Organization.
Let us follow the old path of duty, appeal
to the white masses, nominate honest men
for all positions, and eland by the helm at
all hazards, and we believe a glorious vic
tory will be ours. Clad in this shining
armor, let us draw the sword and throw
away the scabbard.
We want no cowards In this tight,
For they'll our colors fly ;
We want brave, honest hearted men,
Men not afraid to die.
My - Morrow B. Lowry is a candidate
for re-election to the State Senate. There
is considerable opposition to him in the
Republican party, but he intends to run
whether he receives the nomination or
not. Lowry has an immense amount of
energy, is not very scrupulous about the
means he employs, knows all the ins and
outs of political intrigue, and will be hard
to put down. There are several other
candidates for the position in the Repub
lican organization of the Crawford dis
trict, and a lively shindy will probably be
be result.
The Ring of the True Diets&
The Democracy of Philadelphia, true
to their old-time principles, and fully re
alizing the importance of action at the
present crisis, have organized as "The
Central Association of Pennsylvania
Democrats," and have adopted resolutions
which will awaken a responsive thrill in
the bosom of every true Democrat in our
State. The proceedings of the Associa
tion are given as follows by the Age of
Wednesday :
At a meeting of the Central Association
of Pennsylvania Democrats, held Satur
day evening last, at its rooms, No. 1023
Walnut street, Luther Martin, Esq., in
the Chair, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the "Central Associa
tion of Pennsylvania Democrats," in or
der that the principles it advocates may
be fully understood, hereby asserts:
That the object of its institution is to
defend the Constitution of the United
States in its original integrity, and main
tain those fundamental doctrines of con
stitutional Democratic government which
Jefferson and Jackson made the founda
tions of State sovereignty, popular liberty
and a perfect union of these States.
That the so-called Fifteenth Amend
ment is a fraud. It is only a Congres
sional usurpation. That the elective fran
chise in a State can never be conferred on
any of its inhabitants but by the sover
eign will of the people of such State.
, That the acts of Congress which seek to
force the people of Pennsylvania to stir-
DOH tefore in the history Of constitu
tional legislation, and Is simply despot
ism.
Resolved, The Radical party are the
enemies of the Constitution, and seek to
maintain power by usurpations, fraud or
force.
Regained, That these enemies of the
Constitution are using every means which
ingenuity can devise to prevent the peo
ple from knowing the political and finan
cial condition of the country. Jobs,
frauds, defalcations in every department
of government; taxation on the necessa
ries of life.; spies, informers, and "black
mail" - on every branch of industry; op
pressive tariffs to make the rich the mas
ters of the white toilers who labor for
their support; gold hoarded for loyal
greed to speculate in ; paper money to
swindle the workingmen ; elections con
ducted by bought Officials; votes taken,
but never counted ; majorities forged or
produced by fraudulent manipulations;
hordes of officeholders who live on the
sweat of the labor of the country; these
are the fruits of Radical legislation, and
the policy of the enemies of the onsti
tution, and for all these infamies, defal
tiltions, frauds, and corruptions, the Rad
ical party is solely responsible.
Revival, That the Democratic party
has never yet been driven to seek either
its policy or its platform from its enemies.
It has the courage for this crisis. It has
maintained the Constitutiou of the United
States for nearly a century, by its patriot
ism. It bus added State to State tinder
the true interpretation of the powers of
the Federal. gorernment. It gave the ;
laboring man gold and silver for his toil.
The Democratic party did this by the
power of its principles and the support of
, the white race, and it will yet redeem the
country from its present degradation by
the help of the true men of America,
without seeking the aid of voters, made
so by fraud and in defianceuf the will of
the sovereign white race, the rightful pos
sessors of the political power of this coun
try.
Resoltrt4 11 need be, the Democratic
party. in the future, may accept au ex-'
ample from the Radical party, by using
the power the white raps is ready to con
fer upon the Democracy to take off -the
yoke put on the necks of the people by
the Radical party. If this should be nec
essary, the Radical party cannot complain
since it so very anxious the Democrats
should accept its precedents, and adopt its
policy.
On motion,
the above resolutions were
unanimously adopted, and
It was resolved. That they be published
in the Age, the Evening Herald, and the
Sunday Mercury.

On Toiesday the 10th, at five minutes
to five o'clock the jury, after an absence
Of one' hour and forty roinnbas, returned
to their seats. Before they came into the
mom the officers of the Court ordered all
the, spectating to be seated, but the audi
anti did not obey. 'Recorder. Hackett,'
who -had left 'the bench at !the time the
jury
. retired, resumed his sat, and' Then
the:jurors =ached hitii thn room in sin
gle Ole, and tooktheir places in what The
raw "designates their "box."}: As if We

prised of the verdict the jury . had agreed
-upon, or rightly conjecturing what it
would be, cried out, "Now, we want order
hoe ;" - "You mast all keep order ;" "No
applause will be allowed," and other simi
lar instructions; but these instructions
badto effect on the audience, as the se-
quel will show.
The jurors looked paler on their return,
Their deliberations upstairs seemed to
have blanched their faces. All eyes were
turned upon them, and Mr. Brown, the
foreman, in a moment was the turg,et at
which the gaze of every person in the
room was directed. McFarland was calm
and collected. Mr. Graharri sat with
bowed head and exhibited mach emotion.
A whisper went round the room to the
effect that thejury had agreed to acquit
the prisoner. It was it moment of solemn
suspense. Mr. Vandervoot, the Clerk of
the Court, called the names of the jar
! ors, and inquired if a verdict had been
agreed upon. lie was answered affarma-
Then said the clerk : "Gentlemen of
the jury. rise and look upon the prisoner."
AfcFarland then arose. The clerk ad r
dressing him said : "Prisoner, look upon
thejury."
The prisoner fixed a steady eye upon
the twelve men who were to decide the is
sue. The twelve men all looked at him.
Then said the clerk, addressing them,
"How find you the prisoner at the bar,
guilty or not guilty.
"Nor GVILTY," answered the foreman
iu a loud voice.
In the langnag,e of the old time repor
torial fraternity, "the setae that followed
beggared description." Every spectator
sprang to his feet. The women alternate
ly waved their handkerchiefs and wiped
their eyes. Some of them sobbed aloud.
The cheering was so loud and long that
it was heard in the New Court house and
on Chambers street, and brought a rein
forcement of spectators to the scene of re
joicing. Mr. Graham was so overcome
with emotion that for some minutes he
was unable to speak. Tears rolled down
his checks. and he buried his face in his
hands and wept like a child. McFarland,
no longer a prisoner, was at once stir
! rounded by his friends, and congratulated
on his good fortune. A score of ladies
. rushed forward and repeatedly kissed him.
One old lady kissed him a dozen times.
He stood all this "like a man," and re
f turned his thanks for the sympathy which
had been so generously accorded him.
"I knew it, I knew it," cried one wo- I
man, as she imprinted a kiss on McFar
land's cheek, "I knew it—l knew it—l
knew"—but before she could explaifi I
what it was she knew she was pushed
aside by another of her sex e rho was de- I
termined, if the kissing was going to be
general, to have a lip or two in herself.
So great was the roy of the ladies over
the verdict that they made an attack on
Mr. Graham. and many of them kissed
him. For some time he was hardly able
to speak, and was obliged to receive these
manifestations of regard in silence. Af
ter a while he said to several old ladies
who congratulated him on the success of
his efforts, "Well, I can only say that I
am proud to know that my course has
met the approval of the ladies. When a
man gets in between man and wife and
destroys their happiness, as Richardson
did, he deserves to be shot. That's the
only law for such a env. I've always said
so, and always shall. There can be no
other law than that for such a case."
To some others he said, "I assure yon
tie &fig 6711iNtioif9. p"tfo"iede'r' - fffri
I would be if von were gentlemen. I can
only say that I am proud for having
pleased the ladies, and I hope that I shall
always be able 'to please them on all such
occasions."
A woman approached the jurors before
they left their seats after rendering the
verdict, and shook hands with each of
them. :he "God blessed" them all, and
assured them that they had done the nob
lest act of their lives. The jurors
rr
turned their thanks, and their enthusias
tic admirer retired. feel in g, doubtless, thie
she had done her duty. Mr. Hansen, the
fourth juror. was literally hugged by one
of the ladies. She placed her arms
around his neck, and poured a perfect
shower of kisses upon his cheek. He
bore up with marvelous fortitude tinder
the unexpected bat pleasant assault, and
acquitted himself with honor by kissing
the fair one on the brow. •

A resolution has been put through the
lower house of Congress, and will proba
bly pass the Senate, fixing the 30th of I
May as the day for decorating the •graves
of Union Soldiers, and setting it apart as
holiday forever.
The custom originated with the people
of the South. the inhabitants of many pla
ces assembling after the war was over to
strew the graves of the Confederate dead
with flowers. It is still kept up there, no
particular day being observed, but the va
rious communities selecting such oceaff
ion as best suits their convenience. In the
North the observances are conducted tut
der the auspices of an association known
as the Grand Army of the Republic-
It may seem ungenerous to oppose such
a practice either North or Swith. In it
self the act of strewing the graves of dead
soldiers is one of beauty. It appeals to
the imagination pf the beholders, and a
cemetery filled with a throng of people en
gaged in such a work is a touching and
attractive spectacle. The effect is, howev
er, to perpetuate a remembrance of the
civil war through which the nation has
passed, and to keep alive the animosities
of section by which it was distinguished.
As the people of the South gather around
the graves of their dead, the events of the
war are vividly recalled, and the hearts of
those present are turned regretfully to the
past, instead of being directed hopefully
to the future. As the people of the North
witness the ceremonies of decoration day
the fires of hate are rekindled, and that
sentiment of common brotherhood which
should be the strongest sentiment in the
American people is weakened.
No such dumb show of an ostentatious
character is needed to prove our respect
for those who died in defence of the Un
ion. The decoration of their graves eau
well be left to the hands of kindred affec
tion. The pomp and parade which now 'so9oo. — ln 1 41.'"InTeal'ot'Ll'e C o g r u d n e t 4

Destructive Hall Storm to P6lladel•
Okla.
PinuitELPEite, May B.—About 2
M. to-day the most disasterous hail storm
ever known here passed over the city from
northwest to southeast. For nearly
thirty minutes there was continuous fall
of hail stones from the size of hens eggs
to seven inches in circumference. Tht
damage done greatly exceeds that of the
great hail storm of September, 1867. The
greatest force of the storm was along
Ilftiad street and in the Southern section
of the city. On the south side of Cheit
nut street, above Eight, hardly a pane of
glass is left On . Broad, street many
churchesliml their stained glass windows
destroyed. The front of Continental Ho
tel, as far as windows are considered, is a
perfect wreck. The loss may be computed
by thousands of collars.
Reports from the outskirts indicate the
almost total dertructiou of the fruit trees,
which were just in blossom. At 6 I'. M.
the bail still remains in piles in the streets.
The storm s.'ems to have expended its
fury in and around the city. Dispatches
from the interior say no hail fell there,
and it did not extend across the Delaware.
river to Camden. Many of the hotels are
greatly damaged, especially the Bingham
House, Eleventh and Market streets, the
windows being scattered in the whole of
its front. People in all sections are giv
, ing orders to glaziers this evening fur re
' pairs, knowing there will be.a rush on the
trade to morrow.
