DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. —On Monday last, about 11 o'clock a. m., Jennett Jones, a girl between fifteen and sixteen years of age, residing in West Pittson, wins crossing L. &. 13. Railroad at its intersection with Luzcftae Avenue. As she stepped upon the track her right foot went down be tween the two beams that cross the cattle guard. She succeeded in getting the right foot loose, then her left foot got fast. The engine, tender, and passenger car were rup idly approaching from the Railroad bridge. She saw her perilous situation and cried to to Mr. Geo. L. Kern, who was driving by, for help. As soon as he could, he drove his horse to a fence and went to her res cue, but it was too late; the train had pass ed over tbe girl's left leg and mashed it from the foot to the kuee so that amputa tion was rendered necessafy. She had presence of mind enough to throw her body against the ffcnee at the cattle guard, where she was obliged to meet her sod fate, and was there found holding on with des perate perseverance after the train had passed. Doctors Williams and Becker, as sisted by Drs. Thayer and McAlarnev, am putated the limb, and the sufferer is now understood to be as comfortable as could be expected. The case is one which has excited the deepest sympathy of the com munity.— Pimon GWfc j HARVEY §ICKI,EK, Editor. TUNKHANNOCK. PA. Wednesday, Dec. 23, 1 868. , FFCO' No PAI'EK NEXT WEEK —Cause— !

The important points discussed by the j President in his late Message to Congress, are the measures of the radicals in refer ence to the South and the condition of the Finances of the country. On these points we give the following liberal extracts. The other matters contained in the Message would hardly be found interesting to the j general reader. OS RADICALISM AND REOOXSTBUCTIOX. He says ; Upon the resembling of Congress, it ' again becomes my duty to call your atten tion to the state of the Union, and to its disorganized condition under the various , laws which have lieen passed upon the sub- i ject of Reconstruction. It may be safely assumed as an axiom in the government of States, that the greater wrongs inflicted ; upon a people are caused by unjust and ar- 1 bitrary legislation, or bv the unrelenting j decrees of despotic rulers, and tliat the j timely revocation of injurious and oppres sive measures is the greatest good that can be conferred 011 a nation. The legislator or ; ruler who has the wisdom and magnanimi ty to retrace his stops when convinced of ; error, will sooner or later be rewarded with the respect and gratitude of an intelligent and patriotic people. Our own history, although embracing a period less than a j century, affords abundant proof that most ! | if not all of our domestic troubles, are di- I rectly traceable to violations of the organ- j ;ic law and excessive legislation. The most i striking illustrations of this fact are fur | nished by the enactments of the past three i i years upon the question of reconstruction. I .After a fair trial they have substantially . failed and proved pernicious in their re sults, and there seems to be no good reason why they should longer remain on the stat- I ute book. States to which the Constitution guarantees a Republican form of govern . ment have be< u reduced to Military pepen dencies. in each of which the people have been made subject to the arbitrary will of the Commanding General. Although the Constitution requires that each State shall be represented in Congress, Virginia. Mississippi, and Texas are yet exclud ed from the two Houses, and contrary to the express provisions of that instrument were denied participation in the recent I election for a President and Vice-President of the United States. The attempt to place the white population under the dom -1 ination of persons of color in the South, has impaired if not destroyed the kindly relations that had previously existed be tween them, and mutual distrust lias en- gendered a feeling of animosity which, leading in some instances to collision and bloodshed, has prevented that co-operation \ between the two races so essential to the success of industrial enterprise in the Southern States. Nor has the inhabitants of those States alone suffered from the dis turbed condition of affairs growing out of these Congressional enactments. The en tire Union has been agitated by grave ap prehensions of troubles which might again involve the peace of the Nation. Its inter ests have been injuriously affected by the derangement of business and labor, and the consequent want ofprosperity through out that portion of the country. The Fed eral Constitution, tile Magna Char la of American rights, under whose wise and salutary provisions we have successfully conducted all our domestic and foreign af fairs, sustained ourselves in peace and in war, and become a great nation among the Powers of the Karth, must assuredly be now adequate to the settlement of ques tions grow ing out of the civil war waged for its vindication. This great fact is made manifest by the condition of the country wheu Congres assembled in the month of December 1805. Civil strife had ceased. The spirit of rebellion had spent its entire force. In the Southern States the people hud warmed into national life, and through out the whole country a healthy reaction in public sentiment had taken place. By the application of the simple yet effective provisions of the Constitution the Executive Department, with the voluntary aid of the States, had brought the work of restoration as near completion as was within the scope of its authority, and the Nation was encouraged by the prospect of an early and satisfactory ad justment of all its difficulties. Congress, however, intervened, and refusing to per fect the work so nearly consumated, de clined to admit members from the unrepre sented States, adopted a series of measures which arretted the pregress of resolution, frustrated all that hud Iteen so successfully accomplished, and after three years of agi tation and strife has left the country far ther from the attainment of union and fra ternal feeling than ut the inception of the Congressional plan of reconstruction. It needs no argument to show that legislation which has produced such baneful conse quences should be abrogated or else made to conform to the genuine principles of Re publican government Under the influence of party passion and sectional prejudice, other acts have been passed not warranted by the Constitution. Congress has already been made familiar "with my views respecting the "Tenure of Office bill." Experience has proved that its repeal is demanded by the l>cst interests of the country, and that while it remains in forcejhc President cannot enjoin that j rigid accountability of public officers so es sential to an honest and efficient execution of the laws. Its revocation would enable the Executive Department to exercise the power of appointment and removal in ac cordance with the original design of the Federal Constitution. The act of March 2, 18t57, making appro priation'for the support of the army for the year ending June 30, 1808, and for other purposes contains provisions which interfere withe the President's Constitution al functions as Commander-iu-Chief of the Army, and deny to the States of the Union the right to protect themselves by means of their own malitia. OX THE FINANCES. He says; "It is one of the most successful devises in times of peace or war. of expansions or rexolutions, to accomplish the transfer of all the preious metals from the great mass of the people into tlip hands of the few, where they are hoarded in secret places, or deposited under bolts and bars, while the people are left to endure all the inconveni ence, sacrifice, ami demoralization result ing from the use of depreciated and worth- 1 1 less i aper. lii 1789, when the Government com meuced operations under the Federal Con stitution. it was hardened with un indebt edness of seventy millions of dollars, crea ated during the war of the Revolution. — This amount had been reduced to forty five millions of dollart when in 1812 war was declared against Great Britain. The three years struggle that followed largely in creased the national obligations, and in 1810 they had obtained the sum of one hundred and twenty-seven millions. Wise and economical legislation, however, enabled the Government to pay the en tire amount within a period of twenty vears, and the extinguishment of the na tional'debt filled the Land with rejoicing, and was one of the great events of Presi dent Jackson's administration. After its redemption a large fund remained in the Treasury, which was deposited for safe keeping with the several States, on condi tion that it should be returned when re quired by the public wants. In 1819—the year after the termination of an expensive war with Mexico—we found ourselves in volved iu a debt of sixty-four millions ; and this was the amount owed by the Government in 1860, just prior to the outbreak of fhe rebellion. In the spring of 1861 our civil war commenced. Each year of its contin uance made au enormous addition to the debt; and when in the spring of 1*65, the nation successful emerged from the con lliet, the obligations of the Government , had reeched the immense sum of 82.873,- 992,909. The Secretary of the Treasury , shows that on the first day of November, i 1867. tliis amount had been reduced to 82,- 191,504,150 ; but at the same time his re port exhibits an increase during the past year of 895,625, 102; for the debt on the : tirst day of November last is stated to have been 82,527,129,552. It is estimated by the Secretary that the returns for the psvst , month will add to our liabilities the fur ther sum of eleven millions —making a to tal increase during thirteen months of for ! ty-six and a half millions. In my message to Congress of December 4th 1865, it was suggested that a policy i should be dcvi e l which, without being oppressive to the people, would at once begin to effect a reduction of the debt, and if persisted in, discharge it fuliv within a . definite number of years. The Secretary of the Treasury forcibly recommends legis lation of this character, and justly urges that the longer it is deferred the more difficult must become it" accomplishments. We should follow the wise precedents es tablishments in 1.9U and 1 >**ll>. and witli out further delay make provisions for the payment of our obligations at as early a i period as may be practicable. The fruits of thair labors should be enjoyed by our i citizens, rather than to be used to build up and sustain moneyed monopolies in our own and other lauds. Our foreign debt is computed by the Secretary of the Treasury at eight hundred and fifty millions ; citi zens of foreign countries receive interest upon a large portion of our securities, and American tax-payers are made to contrib ute large sums for their support. The idea that such a debt is to become perma nent should at all times be discarded, as involving taxation to heavy to be borne, and payment once in every sixteen years, at the present rate of interest, of an amount equal to the original sum. The vast debt, if }>ermitted to become permanent and in creasing, must eventually be gathered into the hands of a few, and enable them to ex ert a dangerous and controlling power in the affairs of the Government. The bor rowers would become servants tothe lend ers—the lenders the masters of the people We now pride ourselves upon giving free dom to four millions af the colored race ; it w ill then l>e our shame that forty mil lions of people, bv their own toleration of usurpation profligacy, have suffered them selves to become enslaved, and merely ex changed slave-owners for new task-masters in the shape of bond-holders and tax-gath ers. Besides, permanent debts pertain to monarchical governments, and tending to , monopolies perpetuities, and claS.s legisla latiou, are totally irreconcilable with free institutions. Introduced into our repub lican system, they would gradually but surely sap its toundations, eventually sub vert our governmental fabric, and erect up on its ruins a moneyed aristocracy. It is our sacred duty to transmit unimpaired to our prosj>erity the blessings of liberty which were bequeathed to us by the fouu ! (bra of the Roj/übho, and by our example teach those who are to follow us carefully to avoid the danrers which threaten a free and independent people. He then suggests that "Our national credit should be sacredly observed ; but in making provisions for our creditors we should not forget what is due to the mos ses of the jxtople. It may be assumed that the holders of our securities have already received upon their I souls a larger amount than their original investment, measured by a gold standard. Upon this statement of facts it would seem but jilst and equita ble that the six per cent, interest now paid by the Government should be applied to the reduction of the principle in semi-an nual instalments, wliieh in sixteen years and eight months would liquidate the en tire national debt." If the provision be made for the pay ment of the indebtedness of the Govern meut in the manner suggested, our nation will receive its wonted prosperity. Its in terests require that some measure should be taken to release the large amount of capital invested in the securities of the Government. It is now not merely un productive, but in taxation annually con sumes one hundred and fifty millions of dollars, which would otherwise be used by our enterprising people in adding to the wealth of the nation. Our commerce, which at one time successfully rivalled that of the great maritime Powers, has rapidly diminished, and our industrial interests are in a depressed and languishing condi tion. The development of our inexhaus tible resources arc checked, and the fertile fields of the South are becoming waste for want of means to till them. With the re lease of capital, new life would be infused into the paralyzed energies of our people, and activity and vigor imparted in every branch of industry- Our people need en couragement in their efforts to recover from the effects of the rebellion and of iu judiciaus legislation ; and it should be the aim of the Government to stimulate them by the prospect of an early release from the burdens which impede their prosperity.— If we cannot take the burdens from their shoulders, we should at least manifest a willingness to help to bear them. Upon the subject of the currency he savs : The anomalous condition of our currency j is in striking contrast with that which was originally designed. Our circulation now embraces, first, notes of the National Hanks, 1 which are made receivable for all dues to the Government, excluding imposts, and by all its creditors, excepting in payment of interest upon the bonds and the secu rities themselves; second, legal tender notes, issued by the United States, and which the law requiresjgshall be received as well in payment of all debts between citi zens as of all Government dues, excepting imposts ; and, third, gold and silver coin. By the operation of our present system of finances, however, the metallic currency, when collected, is only for one class of Government creditors, who,, holding its bonds, semi-annually receive their interest from the National Treasury. There is no reason, wliicli will be accept ed as satisfactory by the people, why those who defend us on the land and protect us on the sea ; the js-nsioner upon the gratitude of the nation, beariug scars and wounds re ceived while in service ; the public servants in the various Departments of the Govern ment ; the farmer who supplies the soldiers of the army and the sailors of the navy ; the artisan who toils in tlje nation's work shops, or the mechanics and laborers who build its edifices and construct its forts and vessels of war—should, in payment of their just and hard-earned dues, receive depreci ated paper, while another class of their countrymen, 110 more deserving, are paid lin coin of gold and silver. Equal and ex act justice requires that all the creditors of the Government should be paid in a cur rency possessing a uniform value. This can only lie accomplished by the restora tion of the currency to the standard estab lished by the Constitution ; and by this means we would remove a discrimination which may, if it has not already done so, create a prejudice that may become dee} - rooted and wide-spread, and imperil the national (Jobt. He regards a disordered currency as one of the greatest of political evils. It under mines the virtues necessary for the support of social system, and encourages propensi ties destructive of its happiness ; it wars against industry, frugality and economy, and it fosters the evil spirits of extrava gance and speculation. It has been assert ed by one of our profound and and most gifted statesmen, that, that "of all the con trivances for cheating the laboriug classes of mankind, none has been more effectual than that which deludes them with paper money. AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION. In concluding his message, the President recommends the following amendments to the Constitution of the United States: First. For the election of President and Vice-President by the direct vote of the people, and making them ineligible to re election. Second. For a designation for the office of President in case of the death of the President and Vice-Presidant.— Third. For the election of Senators by the people. Fourth. For limitation of the term of years of office of Federal judges. ERRORS OF YOUTH.
