ANOTHER PROPOSED SWINDLE.— We no tice that a petition has been presented to our State Legislature, signed by all the Radical members of Congress from this State, asking that body to appropriate a sufficient sum of money to pay for a colos sal bronze statute of Thaddeus Stevens, — If the admirers of this defunct old fanatic want to raise statues to him, let them open their own purse strings and foot the bill, and no one will object. But some hun dreds of thousands of people in the Com monwealth are opposed to squandering the State's funds on such an unworthy object. If Thad's admirer's are too mean, or too poor to raise money for a statue to. him of bronze, we suggest they cut one from an thracite, as the color wgpld bettor repre sent his tastes and principles, while living. . Don't Relish* the Amendment. Some of the sagacious Radical- journals do not relish the proposed negro stflffrage amendment. The Cincinnati Gazette, one of the most reliable Republican newspa pers in the country, says : "It has thrown a disturbing elemefit in to our elections, to stay till this amend ment shall be disposed of, which may not be for years. It is a measure which-can not stand the sifting process of popular discussion, which the Radicals who suffrage cannot support, and which all the rest will oppose as a matter' of course. We have no idea a Legislature can be elected in Ohio to ratify it, and yet? it must be msde the main issue of the elee-" tion. The election • argument would have no weight with us if the measure were right, but it ianot. We havejro' idea', that it cab be ratified by the-Stalls.that are in a 'fit condition to be oompejgPtftd acsupon an amendment to the Constßfijjpii • Con gress wss in a state of mental *dssos oyer this amendment, and it fins^y..cwne J to this result, not because it thought ifrgood, but because the members thought they must do something." General Grant's New Cabinet. The reconstructed Cabinet, at present, stands as follow : Sec. o/State. —Hamilton Fish of New York. Sec. of Treasury. —Ex-Gov. Bout well, Mass. Sec. cf War. —Gen. Rawlings, of Illinois. Sec. of Maty. —Adolph E. Borie, of Penn'a. Sec. of Interior. —Jacob D. Cox, of Ohio. Post Master General. —Hon. J. A. J. Cress well, Maryland. Attorney General —Samuel T. Hoar, Mass. Secretary Stewart, has returned to New York to look after his mercantile pursuits. Elihu B. Washburne is to be appointed Minister to Paris, in place of Gen Dix. Judge Hoar is also to resign the Attorney- Generalship, and to be appointed on a for eign mission. In the above appointments, General Grant may lie said to have fairly surrendered to the Radicals. Mr. Delano has been appointed in the place of Mr. Rol lins, as Collector of Revenue. Commis sioner Rollions fired a parting salute, at his old friend Binckley, Solicitor of the Treasury, in a public card in the news papers, charging him with inefficiency in the discharge of his duties—for which lat ter attack, Binckley met Rollins in the street near Willard's and gave him a public | chastisement He also beat Mr. Harland, of New York, who attempted to stop Binck ley from castigating Commissioner Rollins. •'Let us have Peace I" The Fifteenth Amendment Ratified. By a strict party vote the House lius rat ified the Suffrage Aniendmeut to the Con stitntion, and thus is Pennsylvania enroll ed on the list of States which have sur rendered their highest mark of power to the general government. From the day that the dispenser of offices in the White House intimated his desire for the adoption of the amendment, there was no doubt of the radicals of Pennsylvania. They are as completely in the power of Graut as Dr. Faust belonged to the devil. Of all the radicals in the Union those of Pennsylvania have exhibited the deepest duplicity and baseuesg in this transaction. The radicals of Massachusetts and Maine did not violate their State constitutions in ratifying this amendment. They had al ready granted suffrage to the negro, and they were merely endeavoring to adjust the Constitution of the United States to their own. But the radicals of Pennsylva nia deliberately marched through perjury to the ratification of the XVth Article.— They had taken a solemn oath to support the constitution of their Stute, and they voted fur an amendment of the Federal Constitution which is not merely in con flict with that of the State, but utterly de stroys it. The radicals of Pennsylvania, very many of them, owe this opportunity to betray their constituents and j>erjuro themselves to the sturdiest denials that they would vote to interfere with the question of suf frage, They have ratified this amendment and there stands their State Constitution not altered, but mutilated by their clumsy and corrupt hands. The radicals of no other State in the Union have exhibited any trace of the hypocrisy which has mark ed the Pennsylvania radicals on this sub ject. While they impudently boast of their philanthropy and love of equality in rat ifying this amendment, they refuse to amend the Stute Constitution and confer the blessings of suffrage on the negroes at once. They preferred to do by indirection and by violating their oaths, what the rad icals in other States had the honesty and straightforwardness to accomplish for them selves. For weeks their tables have groaned with the heavy burden of the petitions of the people against the perpetration of this wrong. The Telegraph, sneeringlv declares that "bushels" of the remonstrances of the indignant people have been contemptuous ly thrust aside. They have been implored, if they had any regard for the rights of their constituents, to postpone action on this momentous question until the people could be heard. But these poor cravens of the Pennsylvania legislature do not wait to hear the thunderous voice of the people. They could not imitate the pluck of the rad icals of little Rhode Island, who postponed the vote until the next session of the legis lature. They eagerly ypshed to ratify an amendment which cannot confer suffrage on the negro for years to come, and they at the same time refused to submit a reso lution to the people of the State, which if adopted would settle the question in Penn sylvania forever, and leave the honor, the dignity and rights of the great State unim paired. These Radicals preferred to inflict negro suffrage on their State by subverting at the same time the Constitution they had solemnly sworn to maintain and defend. Vainly do they imagine that by this course they have avoided the issue before a betrayed people'. "They have stirred up the wrath that will be quenched until the last cumbered among their foul and treacherous crew has been swept from his place. The issue they have cunningly .sought to pre sent, the people themselves will make up. It has already been formed. That over whelming pile of remonstrances which was foolishly contemned by their up-start rep resentatives marks the beginning of the conflict. Those remonstrances are the first expressions of the indignation'of the people .agqiust the proposition to betray .them.yind"*destroy the just authority of Jtheir*Sta?e in the Union. These are the mutterings that presage the storm. It is party slave who cannot read'the signs of the coming wrath. No IferaV e'people surrender their liberties with out a struggle. The sous of Pennsylvania have never yet shown any mark of the" baseness that could encourage these, min iOns in the legislature thus to insult them. The . recent elections all over - the State where the radicals permitted the people to hold them, like the first lieavy.drops from out a sky charged with tempest,-give indi cations of the furious storm of popular .wrath which will utterly overwhelm the traitors and perjurers in the October elec tion.-—Harrisburg Patriot. t Z • 4i y * The Great Gift Enterprise. The distriVffltiou of splendid national gifts in Grant's Great Lottery still goes on at Washington. Hie lucky holders of drawing numbers are coming forward rap idly and ■ claiming their prizes. The fol lowing is the list announced up to the present date : • Elihu B. Washbume, first class premium. Knew Grant at Galena, and obtained for him his first promotion in the army. He draws two prizes, Secretary of State and Minister to France. Alexander T. Stewart, first class. He went a share of a house and lot in Wash ington and New York. He drew the office to Secretary of the Treasury. "An old and obsolete law of 1789, unhappily con verts the magnificent prize into a blank. Hamilton Fish, first class. He invested in a handsome purse raised by the princes of New York a few years ago, and comes out Secretary of State in Washburne's place. Adolph E. Borie, first class. He was a jiberal contributor to Grant's splendid fur nished house on Chestnut street, Philadel phia. He drew the office of Secretary of the Nary. E. R. Hoare, first class. Ho presented a library worth fifteen thousand dollars to his Excellancy, and pulls the splendid prize of Attorney General. A. Sharp, third class, had the good for tune to marry General Grant's wife's sister, and draws at Richmond Va., the prize of Martial of the District of Colombia. Colonel Casey, third class, is another brother-in-law, and draws the Collector ship of New Orleans. Mr. Chun, first class. This gentleman is a member of the distinguished Grant fami ly, and is to be promoted from Consul at Leeds, in England, to Minister to Swit zerland. • ' Orville Grant, third class. He is to be appointed a collector of internal revenue in Chicago. He voted for his brother. James Longstreet, third class. This dis tinguished rebel General has the good for tune to be a cousin of Mrs. Grant, and he draws the prize of Surveyor of Customs of New Orleans. George Wilkes, first class, Wilkes is edi tor of the Spirit of the Times, a sporting newspaper in New York, and is one of Grant's stable cronies. He keeps the Pres ident posted up on tho gen ealogy of his steed, and all kinds of equine erudition. He tells him what horse was great grand sire of Lamp Lighter, and the shortest time made by tho famous Godolphia at the Derby. Wilkes lost heavily on the im l>eachment, and Grant makes him whole by giving him the Mission to Mexico. On his return, it is expected that tho peopl e will bo regaled with a bull fight in the White House grounds, under tho auspices of the sportiag minister. All the Dents, brothers-in-law, and hus bands of sisters-in-law of the President, drew offices in value considerably above their mental capacity for filling them. The man in St. Louis who bought a load of wood one rainy day and thereby enabled Ulysses to replenish his jug, draws a blank Thomas H. Folds, third class, this is a relative of General Grant who lives in Cov ington in the Sate of Kentucky. He draws the valuable prize of postmaster of Cincin nati, Ohio, a State of which he is not a citizen. — Patriot. Legislative Pleasantries It must not be believed by unsophisti cated people in the country that our grave and dignified legislators are utterly depriv ed of amusement when attending to the in terests of the public in general and of themselves in particular. The hard-work ed and sorely-tried members sometimes do find unexpected and hitherto unknown means of divertisement. The weary hours that are spent in grave discussion of public measures are frequently enlivened by scenes of playfulness and frolic which go far to relieve the irksomeness of legislation.— The discussion of the proposed amendment to the federal constitution, on Wednesday evening, was relieved by one of these de lightful interludes. General Kane, of Northumberland, hat! the floor. Tho re port goes to say : "He got along very well with a charac teristic speech, interrupted occasionally by langhter and applanse, when Mr. Josephs, of Philadelphia, quietly approaching the desk at which the speaker stood, filled a lemon, with which the orator was regaling himself, with ink, and the gentleman from Northumberland, becoming indignant, flung the lemon with great force in the face of the gentleman from Philadelphia. This excited a storm of laughter, which the temporary Speaker [Mr. Beans, of Bucks,] was unable for some time to quell. The indignation of Mr. Kase can of course be well appreciated. The laughter would sub side occasionally, only to be renewed at some new incident in the confusion. Half a dozen gentlemen were on the floor at a time, raising points of order, but finally the confusion ceased as Mr. Kase decided to yield the floor and leave his speech un finished." Thus do our members of legislature re lieve the tedium of debate. The grase •trifling with the Constitution of their coun try is varied with simpler games. They bring back reminiscences of school-boy days when the hero of such a performance would have esteemed himself extremely lucky on getting off with a sound dozen of the cat *o nine tail well laid on. But we shall not indulge in ill-natured criticism of the sports of representatives. This delight ful performance is said to have caused in tense delight to the members of the House and to the crowded audience which had gathered to listen to the debate on the question of ratifying the proposed suffrage amendment to the Federal Constitution. Since Mr. Kase was not permitted to con tinue his remarks the public are not pos sessed of his individual opinions on the subject of the amendment, or of the pecu liar flavor of a compound of Harrison's writing fluid and the juice of a lemon.— Harrisburg Patriot, An Auction of the Offices. "Mack" (J. B. M'Culloch) the caustic Washington correspondent of the Cincin nati Enquirer, thus discourseth on Grant's gift enterprise : "Applicants for office under the new ad ministration must take notice that the safest way to approach the new adminis tration is through a house and lot, a la Stewart and Borie. Hoar got in through the cheap medium of a library, but it is safe to say, there is nothing more to be dis posed of at that low rate. Lest there be those who think I slander "the great captain," let me mention anoth er fact. The public have recently been in formed of the gift of Grant's former resi dence to General Sherman. How was this brought about and by whom ? The leader of this item of the great American gift en terprise was a man who expects to be col lector of the port of New York, and who knew the influence of Sherman over Grant, and the importance of placing Sherman under obligations of this kind. Nor is this all. Grant had previously offered to sell this property for £40,000, which was the amount raised by the expectant collector of customs. Mr. A. T. Stewart then came ftrwurd and said the price was too low ; being only a little more than he himself had paid for the house four years agev when it was orignallv given to Grant. So he put his hand in his pocket and drew out a check for 825,000 making $05,000 in all —which was paid to Grant for his house and lot. Truly a nice thing for the custom house man. Just here let me enter a pro test against this kind of private sale of pub | lie office. I insist on an auction at which all shall have an equal ciionce to bid. The New York custom house would bring half a dozen such houses and lots as Grant's under any sort of competition. In tlie de clining days of ancient Jtoine was put at auction by the Pnetorian Guards, and sold to Didius Juliuuus after some heavy bidding between him and Sul picianus, at a price equal, I think, to ten millions of dollars. If the good old Amer ican republic is to be disposed of in the same way, let not all the proceeds be given to one man, or to two or three men, as seems to be the present disposition, but let there be something iu the nature of u fair divide." The Bate's History Job. Last year a conspiracy was entered into between John W. Geary, Hates, (the so called "State Historian,") and Ben. Siu gerly, (the State Printer) for the purpose of publishing a "Military History of the Volunteers," ostensibly, but in fact to rob the State Treasury of about 8300,000, out of which these worthies, and the Legisla tive ring will make about 85,000 each. When tho Legislature met, a committee was appointed to investigate the fraud.— The committee has reported, and the result is, that it has clasped hands with the original conspirators, and ordered the work to go on, but at tlie same time ac knowledging that there was no law to au thorize this uncalled for expenditure. But the committed says it would be doing vio lence to abandon tho publication of the work ul this stage of its progress. This is precisely what we expected when the committee was appointed. The rob bery must continue for at least five years, at end of which time the State will be about 8300,(XX) poorer, about a dozen individuals will have handled that sum, and the "His tory" will be pronounced a humbug. If this be libel, let the members of the House "make the most of it and leave the rest to their constituents. We want a history of Pennsylvania Volunteers, but want it gotten up in a correct style, both as regards unmistakable truth and typo graphical appearance. Our brave soldiers are not to be easily slighted be they repub licans or democrats. Ist the House, in the spirit of honesty, put the seal of condemnation upon all such miserable speculative jobs.— Clearfield Republican. Clerical Debauchery. There is a paper in the country called Zion's Herald, edited by the Rev. Gilbert Haven It claims to be an influential or gan of the Methodist Church. This Rev erend goes point blank for the amalgama tion of the races. He says : "The lightest ; and the darkest of the children of Adam and Noah are divinely planted together in this land, that they may, by obeying this law which God has ordained, work out the ! perfect oneness of the race of man." The I sweet-toothed, lecherous, and brutalized di vine thus revels in imagination: "Andthe hour is not far off when the white-hued husband shall boast of the dusky beauty of his wife, and the Caucasian wife shall ad mire the sun-kissed countenance of her husband. Not a few of these marriages which God lias made, and whose validity man in a few instances has reluctantly ac knowledged, are already filling homes with happiness, and both prophesying and lead ing the way ro the future unity and bless edness of America. Amalgamation is God's word, declaring the oneness of man,ordain ing its universal recognition." Thus spaaks the Rev. Gilbert Haven, editor of ' Herald. If the Mongrels of tho £c- jUn try have their own way, an miserable mentally and physically 'Vcgeneratc race of hnman beings, UK'tiled, speckled.molasses hned and uhort-lived, will curse the United States, as the South American Republics are now cursed. OBITUARY. —Hon. Edward Bates, whose death at St. Louis on March 25th has been announced by telegraph, was born on Sep tember 4th, 1703. at Belmont, Gochland county, Ya. in 1814 lie. emigrated to St." Louis, studied law aud practiced in 1816. In 1818 he was appointed Prosecuting At torney for St. Louis Circuit; in 1820 was delegated to the State Constitutional Con vention and was in the same year appoint ed Attorney General for the new State of Missouri. In 1824 he was appointed Uni ted States District Athorney for Missouri, but in 1826 resigned, and was elected Rep resentative in Congress from Missouri serving from 1827 1829. In 1830 ho was elected to the Senate of Missouri, and i n 1834 to the lower house. In 1835 he re moved from St. Louis to the country on ac count of his health, and praoticed law for sev en years, traveling on horse-back to meet his engagements at the country courts. In 1842, he returned to St. Lou;s and was ap pointed by President Filmore, in 1850, Secretary of War, a position which he de clined. In 1853, he was elected Jndge of the Land Court of St. Louis, resigning in 1856. He was President of the whig con vention held at Baltimore 1856, the last convention of that political party. In 1860 Mr. Bates was presented as a candidate for President at the Chicags republican con vention.

D. from Har vard University. Edward Bates was one of the old school public men who did not so licit offioe, but who were sought by the office. New York Spring Fashions. METBOPLITAN FURNISHING ROOMS, ) 495 BROADWAY, r NEW YORK, April Ist, 1809. ) Broadway windows an* as gay ON parter res with many-hued drees patterns—with lace# and ribbons and artificial flowers of the newest and dashiest designs. Piques and silks are the only materials at all sea sonable out of doors, though for in-doors, where furnaces diffuse a uniform summer like heat, the new cambrics and percales and organdies aro worn. The style for ma king every day house dresses and plain strpet dresses is the same, being merely a sldrt and ufrar-tunic, the over-tunic being tiußllucd by band or sash afrthe waist; if by a snail it must be fastened at the aide. The lofig ends depending from the back of the belt are entirely- out of style. They were overdone during the winter. If long ends are cut in with the waists of basques, and, therefore, not easily changed to the sides, they xnay bo looped up behind after the style of the panier puff. This makes, however, a more pretentious style of gar ment, and biid better not be affected in other than rich or elegant material. "Pa nier or no panier" is no longer a question. The panier is now Teally a fixed fact—such is the news from the head-qtiarters of fash ion abroad and the dressiest ladies here are delighted. The more soberly inclined es chew the panier, but as fullness at the back I is indispensible now, they affect the Wat teau fall instead of the panier. This fall is ut once very simple and very distingue. It consists of a width or two of the material of the dress, pleated in French pleats and fas tened on the back, between the shoulders. It may bo placed a little higher or a little lower—be contracted or spread at the taste—or rather according to the style of the wearer. The panier best becomes slight people. The Watteau fall, while ad mirable and piquant on petite figures, may be worn with great advantage by the most dowager-liko of ladies. In Paris the panier supersedes the basquine ; no lady there thinks of making a formal call in any thing more antiquated than a panier of a piece with her suite. The velvet or fur cloak that she wears from her carriage to the house is left with the servant in wait ing in the ante-room. The only difference between a house dress and a street dress in the Spring styles is that the latter has a cape ; in other respects tliey are the same. This cape resembles the fichu worn last summer, but without the long ends, and also without the crossed fronts. Some of the.se capes are ruffled all around, the ruf fle deepening at the shoulder and resem bling in effect a flowing sleeve. Puffing is increasing in popularity as a trimming for all kinds of goods—even the most easily soiled of materials are profusely ruffled, and besides being ruffled have headings of embroidery. Puffiings, too, though very difficult to iron, arc much used on gar ments necessarily frequently in the wash ; they are usually alternated with bands of tucks cut on the bias. The increasing J elaborateness and finish of every detail of a , lady's wardrobe is due to the sewing ma chine. To it also is ascribable the rapid changes of style that men look upon as one of the most ominous signs of the times. Woman has not changed, only invention has inoreased her facilities for acting out , her nature. A lady with a Grover & Baker family sewing machine can in a few hours dasTi off a bewildering mass of tucks and puffs and ruffles and embroidery. The un initiated seeing it bewail her extravagance, when they ought to commend her taste and spirit. The material perhaps hasjeost her but little, but she by her skill has made it appear costly—it shines by reflected light— that of handiwork. In many cases the r* a _ terial is rich and expensive, but Materia] cannot be made so rich that Fa^ ionß doeß not further enrich by her 'anburies Thus we find blue butterfly embroidered onThc heaviest of gros-grain ; we find satin embr'oicier jd with wheat ears and field pop ".nd that not sparingly, but with the the recklessness characteristic of steam power and machinery. Ladies who wi-li to combine economy with fresh ness and elegance of provide themselves with a couple of white muslin dresses and a black silk or two as indispen sable basic articles. If these are well-ad vised in the making, a very little more is sufficient for the sustained changefulness of costume which "Society" demands of its members. This "little more" is merely a few changes of bright-hued skirts to be worn under the white dress, with flowers or ribbons to match. Thus a skirt of pink lining silk should be supported by rosea | the corsage or in the hair, or by rib bons, on occasions where flow\ ra m jgbt be deemed too gay. Paoi*' ri or OTer .tunics of pink and white gauze look extreme ly elegant wP u white dress and pink skirt, but cano'jt be worn often without being reco ? r iizpd—which is considered fatal—a to lie fashionable must lie fresh. Taste is a wonderful modifier of the inher ent qualities of things. We know some la dies who have but small means and few changes, who go into society and receive company a great deal, yet who always ap pear to be fresh from the hands of a first class modiste ; but no modiste, or even maid, ever gave even a sugguestion, much less a finishing touch, to the admirable toil ettes of these ladies. They design and ex ecute their own and each other's, and that with much merriment over their society reputation of idle and useless, though un deniably brilliant and beautiful, butterflies. Yet, if I were a young man—which my stars be thanked I am not, but on the con trary a very pretty girl— yet if I were, and j wanted a wife who could and would dash | me off shirts by the dozen, made out of whole cloth, and who would keep the little folks plentifully supplied with new pina fores, and at the same time be cheerful and dainty as a canary bird, I would try and secure one of the flirts above mentioned. jAfOSTCA.
