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

PRESIDENT JOHNSON
On Radicalism and the Finances.
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.

KILVEK PLATED WARE.
I> McKown respectfully announces to the pe ~.|.
of Wyoming County, that he has mail© a specialty o!
HEAVY SILVER PLATING, lor years. Heavy
plaiting is much more economical than light. The
more Silver put on the g oils, the cheaper it is none
in proportion to the amount of Silver used. Sp.om- !
and Forks, should not be o l less ihan 16 ot plate- !
db or 49 oz. would be lar more economical. Y*i
4 oz pi .He is called a good plain by th© trade , and.
poor as it is, but a email portion of all the goods ;
made coiue up to this standard. 'fun. e plate." in
platers language mean* the niimi rr of ounces ol 1
silver, to the gross of table <i*ajii. Ali other sur
faces are estimuted by these For example, tie.- '
sens are estitnuted at 3-4 ; and tea s|smns at 12 th© j
surface of tabie-spoons. cixieen oz. plate is 16 ozs. I
of fine silver to the gross of table-*po..ns or dining i
forks. 12 oz to the gnp? of dessert spoons or forks
and 8 oz- to the gross of tea-spoons This quality i
of plate will cost, on the azerage, twice as much *. ;
4 oz and will have four times the amount ol silver
on it. Thirty-six oz- plate will cost about tbre©
times as much as 4 oz , and will contain nine times
the amount of silver in it. Thirty-six ox* plate is
the lightest that will allow the engraving on it, of
11 .me or initial-, without cutting through unto the
metal beneath Forty-eight oz plate will cost about
four times as much as 4oz plate, and will coDtain
12 times the amount of silver. This plate costs
about one half as much as solid silverware of ordi
.Jinarv weight, and for every day is* will be in >re
durable than light, solid silverware Most ot the
solid silverware is made much Loo light to be dura
ble in constant use. The terms "double." "treble"
Ac Ido not use to designate qualities—there being
100 much ambiguity in their use.
All goods, made by me, having my name and fig
ures denoting Ibe oz. plate, stamped on them, will
be guaranteed full weight of silver on first quality
of metal on them.
I will plate to order, goods of any thickness of
I plating desired, from 4 to 4S oz
i 01! goods, (Ist quality of metal) plated any tbi.-k
-: ness required.
