ALLENTOWN, PA., FEBRUARY 8, 1869
NEUTRALITY.
One of the strangest things of this earth is
the diversity of opinion in regard to the policy
to be persued in conducting ajournal. Among
other plans which have been suggested to us a
well-meaning friend, who was pleased with
the appearance of our paper, 13aw not very re
motely in the future orders coming in and
work going out, until we were overloaded with
greenbacks, if we woulffonly publish a neutral
newspaper. Then everybody would take it,
everybody would advertise in it, and every
would send us their job work.
It might be as our friend predicts and our
pockets might be filled with the profits of an
immense business. We say it might be,—but
we cannot forget our manhood. Republican
we arc, and we arc proud of it. It might not
beproper as individuals, in our intercourse
with men, to announce our politics and force
our political opinions upon everybody upon all
occasions„but - ourpaper has a duty to perform,
and as journalists we'would be false to our
selves and to our duty if we remained neutral
in political matters.
The meanest, most contemptible thing that
exists is, in our estimation, a paper calling it
self a journal without an opinion. If it says
it has no political views it lies, it is not honest,
and if not honest in this one respect how can
honesty be expected in anything else. A man
having the right of suffrage who stands aloof
from political affairs, and refuses to vote be
cause, as he says, both parties are equally bad,
is false to his country, unworthy the name of
American, and the quicker he is sent into the
wilds of Africa, or the frozen regions of Siberia,
_where he can learn the value of the lliEssings
of free government, the better for himself, for
he may then have a chance to repent and die
forgiven. We can respect a man who is' in
the Democratic party because he does not know
he is wrong—he is governed by principle as
much as his defective'education allows hinf to
be. We may be sorry for him, but he is hon
est, and honesty should be respected on all
'occasions. But the man without an opinion,
so immaculate that the scum of politics might
contaminate him, is no man at all, is a mere
thing, not following out the mission of his life
and dies without having done any good to any
one, with the wrongs of the oppressed of all
nations cursing him to the last.
And a newspaper, or rather 'something call
ing itself a newspaper, without any.principles,
advocating nothing, condemning nothing, do
ing nothing to carry out the mission of the
press, only intended to make money,—no
words in the English language can be so ar
°ranged as to convey to the mind what a mere
nothing it is. Will some friend help us out in
German.? For our part we would rather have
The LaCrosae Democrat, the New York Dem
ocrat, or any of those notoriously indecent
copperhead sheets—or even The Allentown
Democrat.
As to our politics keeping Democratic busi
ness men's advertisements ant of THE REGIS
TER, we say "all rigid." Any man doing
business In Allentown who does not wish Re
-publicans' tei'indr 4 onize him, has only to say
the word and they wilt not trouble him. We
ask adtertising as well as jobbing patronage
from Demockats, because in a business point
of view it will pay them and remunerate us.
If the Democrat holds forth in Allentown to
whom the touch of Republican money is un
pleasant let hint send word to us and we will
advertise it free of cost, not so much to please
him, as to do our duty by our subscribers.
We don't expect a rush, however, in this
kind of announcements. The day is gone by
when men will sacrifice their business to their
political feelings.
In other places we have ivon.the respect and
friendship of a host of Democrats, although
they called us black a S the ace of spades, and
as Lehigh county Is not so much unlike the
rest of the United States, we have reasonable
hope of doing so here. We hope, when we
die, that the exclamation may come from every
Democratic " Hang his pol
itics, but he was honest."
THE NEW AMENDMENT.
It is more than probable that the present
Congress will submit a Suffrage Amendment
to the Legislatures of the several States. The
joint resolution which passed the House-fin
Saturday by the necessary two-thirds vote is
as follows:
Ile it remplred. to., Two-thirds of both houses concur
ring, that the following article he Proposed to the liglaln
tures of the several States, an its amendment to the CountL
lotion of the Vatted States, which when ratified by titre°.
fourths of said Legislatures, shall ho held is part of sold
Constitutions namely :
A 11 1 .1 1 .1.11—, Sherpa} 1. The right of any citizen of the
United States to vote shall out he 110111141 or abridged by
the lulled States or uuy State by reason 01 race, color or
previous coalition of slavery of any citizen or chins of citi•
■, , un of the rutted States.
Sy, 2. The Congress 'shop hove power to cubic., by
upyroprhtte lettlAlation the provislooN of this article.
We hope the Senate will hasten favorable
action on this question. There is no time to
be lost. The country is anxious to have the
matter definitely settled. The XlVth Amend
ment to the Constitution, conferring full
citizenship upon the black infin, also gave
to the State the right to 'disfranchise any
of its citizens. This imperfect work of a Re
publican Congress should be repaiied without
delay, and in no other way can it be so effec
tually done as in the prompt submission to
the Legislatures for their approval or rejection
of the above amendment. It has been adopted
in the House after mature reflection. Such
state3men as Bothwell, Schellabarger, and
Bingham, have given it their serious consid
eration. The Republican party cannot be
considered as having half finished the work of
Reconstruction if its Representatives at Wash
ington should adjourn before the 4th of March
without taking final action in this matter. The
administration of Andrew Johnson has warm
ed into life again the disunionists of the South.
It will never do to risk this great act of jus
tice in the hands of the next succeeding
.Con
gross. The electioni that may henceforth be
conducted in the Southern States under pres
enllaws would result in returning to Congress
a full Southern delegation of Democrats. The
hands of Union men would be tied. To have
sympathized with the defenders of the Repub
lic would be sufficient cause for their eternal
proscription. To deprive the black citizen of
his right to vote Would be the success of the
Rebellion to a degree that must cast deep re
proach upon the nation.
It has been alleged by opposition journals
that to refer this question of suffrage to our
present Legislatures would be unfair, and
could not result in a just expression of the
popular will—that the people did not elect
these men to do this work. But the objec
tion is lame. It is their dying kick against an
inevitable fate. The Democratic journals used
the cry against negro suffrage as one of their
campaign weapons during the last eight years.
The people voted against them and committed
themselves in favor of suffihge, and the Leg
islatures by adopting this amendment will be
giving expression to the popular will as much
as though they had been elected for that spa.
ci:l purpose.
Gtrauxner. Semmes has informed the coun
try that the lobbyists in Washington are swin
dlers who profess to have influence with mem
bers with whom they scarcely dare speak, and
who take money to pAocttre legislation which
ahoy cannot in the least degree affect.
THE next election• for Governor of Tennes
see takes place in August: Col. Stokes is
spoken etas the Republican candidate,although
. if the administration of Speaker Senter, who
will be acting GFentor after Mr. - Brownlow
takes his seat ha tile U. S. Senate, be success
ful, Mr. Senter will probably be the nominee.
It is stated upon reliable authority that Andy
Johnson will gd to Nashville about the middle
of March, and will accept the Gubernatorial
nomination from the Democracy. This. is
one step backwards in the line of offices from
Alderman to President, n•hich, Mr. Johnson
has so often boastcfi.pf. having filled, but ho
still clings to thatliepe of a dictptorship, and
if his policy of "universal amnesty and impar
tial suffrage" carries him into the Gpvernor's
chair, he will make every effort to succeed
Mr. Yowler in the United States Senate, as a
stCPping, stone to die White House.
SINCE the election of that German Patriot
and Statesman, Gen. Carl Schurz, to the Uni
ted States Senate, the opposition press have
been circulating the following :
" Carl Schurz has been elected to the United
States Senate from Missouri. He is an avowed
and outspoken infidel. "Among other public
utterances, he said, God is obly an imaginary
gentleman who dwells among the clouds. The
Bible is a book only fit to amuse childreti.
The Sabbath is a relic of barbarism.'''
It is hardly necessary to say to our readers
that Gen. Schurz never uttered the above
language, nor anything like it. That it emu
rtted from a copperhead source there can be
no - doulit ; for defamation of character is now
and'lu been Tor years past, almost the entire
stock in trade of the "Democratic" newspa
pers.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Janunry 2.4 r ISIR.
A not tonal convention of the advocates of wo
man suffrage convened In this city on Tuesday
last. The proceedings were not conducted in such
a manner as to impress our citizens favorably
with woman suffrage. It was apparent that the
women spehkers were not deep thinkers, because
instead of advancing good' sound arguments in
favor of the proposed reform, their remarks were
delivered in a "scolding" manner, in which " in
justice and tyranny of man toward woman," "op
pressive. laws," Se., figured largely. The most
lamentable part of the proceeding is that In which
many or the speakers took the ground, or rather
made the threat " that not another man should
be enfranchised unless the women were included,"
which Is meant to intimidate Congressmen not
to pass the proposed amendment to the Constitu
tion granting suffrage to the colored men in the
States where they are note disfranchised, unless
women are included. If the amendment is de
feated, the Republicans can therefore lay the
blame on those men and women who have come
here, self-constituted delegates, to a convention
professing to represent the women of the country.
The fact is, they no more represent THE WOMEN
of the country than the slave-holders of former
years represented their slaves. Whenever the
true women of the, country* ask for the ballot, it
Im ti..... to ocoolidivr nod clinvonn tine
'subject.
The convention was also peculiarly unfortunate
in the selection of Its officers, as tine men who
were officers and managers of the convention are
known here ns inveterate office-seekers, and the
conclusion people will naturally arrive at Is that
It is not the justice of woman suffrage which In
duces them to advocate it, but the fact that It
may, if carried, ultimately bring them office and
gain. It is evident that these advocates of woman
suffrage want to carry their point by "log rolling"
—tiding in on the shoulders of others. The coun
try Is ripe for colored suffrage. Ninety per cent.
of the Republican press favor It, and fifty per
cent. of all other papers favor it, while not five per
vent. of the press favor WOOMII suffrage; still
these advocates of woman suffrage threaten that
the colored man shall not be enfranchised unless
the women are included.
The principal speakers in the convention were
Mrs. C. Stanton, Mrs. Mott, Mrs. Dr. Walker, Mrs.
Anthony and Mrs. Grilling. Mrs. Stanton said
that a gentleman had asked her what she would
do with the kitchen and household after woman
had the ballot and mingled in the political arena,
and she had told him that she would establish
co-operation kitchens, &e. It will thus be seek
that Mrs. Stanton admits that if the ballot were
conferred on woman It would tend to disrupt the
family circle as at present constituted.

A lively contest is now going on by the Virginia
radical 111111 conservative committees, before the
Sonate,.l nil iciary, and House reconstruction cont.
m Bees in regard to the Constitution soon to be
submitted to the people of " ole Virginity." The
conservatives represent the "old Whigs," who
are anxious to get into the Republican party, and
want the clause in regard to disfranchisements
stricken out, and make the new Constitution
conform to the reconstruction laws of Congfrtits.
They: don't like the Democrats, or Bourbons, as
they call them, anti want to get into the Republi
party as decently as possible. The radical com
mittee oppose their views, and I regret to /My
that Olt this point the radical committee and tile
Democrats of Virginia agree. Whether it is true
as charged, that the so-called radical cointnittee
are merely after the offices, and don't want to let
suiy more into tlic party on that account, it is my
opinion that unless Congress strikes out the ob
jectionable features of the new Constitution, it
will be defeated. One-thirdof the negro vote will
be thrown against it, if the disfranchising clause
Is retained. I need only go across the river here
into Fairfax and Alexandria counties to Ice
that fact apparent to me. The negro appreciates
the ballot highly, and does not appear to be will
ing that other men should be disfranchised.

evil to the Republican party and the people of

The 1)111 of Senator Morton, prohibiting States
to levy a tax on freight and passengers parsing
through their borders, will certainly become a
lad•, and the States of Maryland, Delaware, and
New Jersey must hereafter raise their revenue In
some other manner than by laying a tax on the
citizens of other States.'
AIIOUT GHOSTS.
The Davenport Brothers have been astonishing
the citizens of Washington, 'Georgetown, and
Alexandria for the last three weeks with their
ghostly performances. A musical ghost has also
made his appearance here—it is no other than tile
spirit of Mozait performing some of the most
difficult feats on the plano.through a young man
named Jesse Sheppard. Mr. S. also sings in four
or five different languages, and avers that he
knows nothing about music or the languages in
which he sings. I never did believe in ghosts,
hut if these things continue, I suppose I must
" come down" anal politely tender his ghostship
my hat.
ADVICE TO HTRANOEILS
If nuy of your readers contemplate visiting
Washington on the 4th of March next, I would
advise them, when they come here, to keep their
eyes and ears open and theirhands on their pocket
books. When you hear the rude blast (ruin the
horn of the merry oysterman don't get frightened,
for Gabriel will be more apt to blow his horn
among saints than among sinners.

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
Thin great enterprlne is approaching completion with a
rapidity that astonishes the world. °serf/leen hundred
(15()(1) natles have been built by two (2) powerful Com-.
papier. the Union Pacific Railroad, beginning at Omaha,
building weid, and the Central Pacific Railroad, beginning
at Sacramento, and building east, until the two roads
.ball meet. Len, than Iwo hundred and fifty milon remain
to be built. The greater part of the interval is now graded,
and it le reasonably expected that the through connection
between San Francisco and Now York will be completed
by July 1.
As the amount of Government aid given to each in de
pendent upon the length of road each shall build, both
companies are prompted to great efforts to Bemire the con
etruction and control of what, when completed, will be
one and the only grand Ralltoad Ltne connecting the
Atlnnttgand Pnettle coasts.
One Hundred and Ton Million Dollars (6110,0:0.(00) In
money have already been expended by the two powerful
companies engaged in this great entirprise, and they will
speedily complete the portion yet to be built. When the
United States Government found it necessary to secure the
conntruction of the Pacific Railroad, to develop and pro
tect its own interent, It gave the companies authorized to
build it each ample aid as should render its tweedy com
pletion beyond a doubt. The Government aid may be
briefly summed up as follows:
Fleet. The right of way and all necessary timber and
ntono from public domain.
Second, It make. a donation of 12,800 acre. of land to
the mile, which when the road Is completed, will amount
to twenty-three million (23,000,000) acres, and all of it with
in twenty (20) miles of the railroad.
Third. It loans the commutee fifty million dollen (1150, -
000.0,Y1), for which it taken a second lien.
The Government has already loaned the Union Pacific
Railroad twenty-four million and fifty-eight thousand
dollars W 4,058,000,1 and to the Central Pacific Railroad
novenleen million nix hundred and forty-eight thousand
dollars ($17,818,000), amounting in all to forty-one million
seven hundred and nix thousand dollars (641,7(3,003).
The Companies are permitted to inane their own Pint
Mortgage Ronde to the name amount as they receive from
the United Slates, and no more. The companies have
cold to perinaneut investors about forty million dollar.
(610,000,00) of their First Mortgage Bonds. Tho companies
have already paid In (including net earnings not divided,
grants from State of California, and Sacramento city and
San Francisco), upwards of (62),(C0.000) twenty-five mil
lion dollars of capital Mock.
$1,000,000
WHAT IS THERE YET TO BE DONE ?
In considering this question It must bo remembered that
all the remaining iron to.firtimb the road is contracted for,
and the largest portion paid for and sow delivered on tho
line of the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Pacific
Railroad, and that the grading In almost drilmbed.
WHAT RESOURCES HAVE THE COM
PANIES TO-FINISII THE ROAD ?
First. They will receive from the Government as the
rnsnl .',ogresses about «1,0(Q000 additional.
Second. They can Issue their own First Mortgage non&
for about $9,003,000 additional.
Third. The cement. now hold almost all the land they
have up to this time received from the Government; upon
the completion of the road they will have received in all
2.3,000.10) acres, which at 11 50 per. acre would ho worth
134,500,000.
In addition to the above the net earnings of the roads and
additional capital, If neceemary, could be called in to So.
inh the road.
WAY BUSINESS-ACTUAL EARNINGS
No ouo has ever °sprouted a doubt that as soon as the
road Is completed its through business will be abundantly
profitable.
