The Supreme Court and Deserters.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, sit
ting at Wilksbarre on June 20th, rendered
a decision in the case of Iluber vs. Itaukin,
error to the Court of Common pleas of
Franklin county (the deserters voting case.)
The decision does not argue, the constitu
tionally of the law of Congress, but is chief
ly confined to the point at issue, to wit:
The right of a judge ot election to reject a
man's vote, when the word "deserter" is
written -opposite his name on the list of
voters. Chief Justice Woodward and Jus
tices Strong and Thompson decided that the
judge of elections ctull not refuse a man's
vote until he had been tried and convicted
of desertion; while Justices Head and Ag
new, on the contrary, held that the judges
of the electiona were the proper persons to
decide the question. The above decision of
a majority of the Court virtually nullifies
the law passed by the last Penn'a Legisla
ture, and gives deserters the right to vote
until tried and convicted of desertion.
The European News.
The latest news from Europe is very war
like. The scheme of a peace conference
having been abandoned, Prussia has march
ed her troops into Ilolstein, Austria has
concentrated her forces, and Italy is all
ready for the struggle. It is probable that
the next steamer will bring the announce
ment of a battle, and soon all Europe will
ring with the clash of resounding arms.
When hostilities are actually commenced it j
will be exceedingly difficult to tell when and
where they will terminate. England,France,
and Russia, now neutral, may at any time
be brought into the fray, and the European
democracy, who have long awaited their op
portunity to strike, may at some unexpect
ed moment take sides in the conflict and
overturn the totteriug thrones of imperia
despots.
. . Facts for the People.
The Democratic leaders, throughout the
war. were the aiders and abettors of the
rebels in their efforts to destroy the Union:
and they are no less their friends now.
Prominent among those who sympathized
with the rebels, is the Hon. Ileister Cly-
mer, the Cop candidate for Governor of
Pennsylvania, whose every word and vote
during the was was calculated to give suc
cess to the rebellion. That Ileister Clymer,
and the leaders of his party, would, to-day,
give to the unrepentant and treason-stained
rebels, equal political privileges with our
brave and gallant Union soldiers, there is
little doubt. Lot the "boys in blue" re
member these facts, and vote accordingly on
the second Tuesday of next October.
Mexican News.
The news from Mexico is important.
Maxamillian is beginning to find the finan
cial situation very embarrassing. He has
been obligod to Buspend work on the rail
road to the city of Mexico. The Liberals
are taking heart again, and have repossess
ed themselves of most of the important
points in the interior. Tampico is invested
closely by a strong Liberal force. On the
whole, the outlook for the empire is very
storm', and we should not be surprised at
any day to hear that Maxamillian had bun
dled up his "traps," and gone back to Eu
rope. The Constitutional Amendment.
The late proposed Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, passed
the Senate by a vote of 33 yeas to 1 1 nays,
and the House by 120 yeas to 32 nays the
latter a strict party vote. The vote in the
House plainly indicates that the Democracy
are ready and willing to allow the unrepen
tant rebels to commence at once their in
trigues to reverse the verdict won by our
gallant soldiers, and to snatch from the loy
al and patriotic people of the Union the
fruits of their victory over treason.
Approved.
The President has approved the bill giv
ing bounties to colored soldiers, and pen
sions, bounties, and allowance to their heirs.
This is a good text for our Copperhead
journals, who pretend to be such friends of
Andrew Johnson, to preach a fresh batch of
'nigger-equality" sermons from. What!
give to a black man, who has fought for his
country, the same bounty and pension as to
white , man ! Horrible ! What wiih be
come of the txiperiorityof the white race ?
The Franklin Spectator says, any person
arresting a horse-thief is entitled to a boun
ty of twenty dollars and mileasre, according
to an old act of Assembly. This law i9 not
f ntrally known, but is worth knowing.
i The Forging of Soldiers' Names.
The Democrats, in their anxiety to secure
an apparent endorsement from the soldiers,
are resorting to rather questionable practi
ces. A number of soldiers, whose names
were published in the York Gazette and
York Democratic Press last week, as unit
ing in a call for a meeting to form a Clymer
Club, have come out over their own signa
ture and denied any complicity with the
movement. They say:
"In plain words, our names, if subscribed
by any one to that list, are forgeries, and
we do not intend to support any candidate
or party who, while we were engaged in
lighting the battles of the Union against
dear Southern brethern, did all in their
power to disfranchise us and prevent us
from enjoying the right of suffrage, denoun
ced the war as a failure, clamored for an
immediate suspension of arms, and were de
feated in all their treacherous and unpatri
otic purposes by the votes of soldiers in the
field and the loyal people at home."
Those boys' heads are "level," and they
evidently know what they are talking about.
In addition to ths expose of the forgery
of their own names, the soldiers go over the
list published by the Democratic papers
aforesaid, and point out the signatures of a
large number of others soldiers, some of
whom are "absent;" some whose names are
used "without authority ;" some who were
"deserters;" some who were "drummed
out of camp;" and some who are dead!
We all remember the effort made by the
Copperheads in New York, in 1SC4, to carry
the Presidential election by voting on dead
men's papers ; but the success of that effort
was not such as to make a repetition of its
main features desirable. The Democrats
had better give up the soldiers as a poor in
vestment. They will not vote that ticket,
and the effort to induce them to do so is
labor wasted.
This case serves to show, too, how much
reliance should be placed on the reputed
soldiers' meetings and clubs which the Demo
cratic press is heralding forth to the world
with such a blast of trumpets. A little in
vestigation will generally show similar re
sults to those in York.
A Eeminiscence.
In the month of February, 1361, says the
Johnstown Tribune, when the mutteriugs
of the coming civil strife were borne to the
North upon every Southern breeze, and two
months before the burst of the war cloud at
Sumter, the writer of this met John W.
Geary, then a farmer of Westmorland coun
ty, at Ebensburg, and had the pleasure of
spending an evening in his room. In the
course of a long conversation, the approach
ing war was mentioned. We shall never
forget the earnestness with which Colonel
Geary, then a Douglas Democrat, spoke of
that most anxious and excitinc subject.
He said that "Abraham Lincoln had been
fairly elected to the highest office in the gift
of the people ; that the South had no cause
for attempting to dissolve the Union ; and
that, if all efforts at conciliation should fail,
he would take his boy and enter the milita
ry service of his country, in defense of the
Union, the Constitution and the Laws."
How well he kept his word all his country
men know. His brave boy fell in the South
west, pierced by a rebel bullet, and John
W. Geary himself bcais upon his person to
day the scars of severe wounds received on
the hardest fought battle-fields of Virginia.
How much his example aided in rallying
the Democratic party of 1SG1 around the
old flag needs not to be told. The country
can never honor too much those prominent
leaders of the old Democratic party the
Cutlers, the Logans, the Gearys who, in
the darkest hour of our country's history,
threw the weight of their example and their
influence into the scale in hehalf of the no
blest cause that ever enlisted the hearts aud
valor of men.
The "Hump" Congress vs. the "Knot."
The rancor of that partisan organization
which, through the patriotism of the peo
pie, is represented in Congress by a disap
pointed minority, has stigmatized the body
at large as the "Rump" Congress. This
nickname is not very credible to its contri
vers by either its originality or its applicar
bility. The Rump Parliament was the last
patriotic body of English delegates which
attempted to prevent the restoration of the
Stuarts and tyranny. Contemporary with
this "Rump" was a minority in the inter
est of the expatriated House, however,
which answered very well to the present
battered remnant of the tory Democracy.
The regal interest was represented at that
time by what was called "The Knot," at
the head of which was one Sir Richard
Wyllis, a trickster with both King and
Parliament. Singular enough, there was a
person named Booth acting with the"Knot,"
and he struck the first successful and bloody
blow against the ' Rump." The friends of
the Confederacy are welcome to the rival
designation of the "Knot," and the Booth
section of it may properly be called "The
Halter."

A Sonthern Opinion.
The Nashville, Tennessee, Press, speak
ing of the new Constitutional Amendment,
says:
"We shall not regret its defeat very deep
ly, for while we acquiesce in it, it appears
to us to fall short of the requirements and
necessities of tha Union minority of the
South."
It goes on to state "The Union party of
the country has trom the beginning oeen not
onlv willins but eairer to be magnanimous
to those rebels who were themselves mag
numinous Uut the reconstructed news
papers or the outh. ever since the assassi
nation of Abraham Lincoln, have been scat
tering firebrands of hate among the people
against the Union men of the south and
the party at the North which put down the
rebellion.
And it concludes: It there was any
general exhibition of chanty and matrna
nimitv bv the partisans o'f the late rebellion
toward their Union neighbors, who they af
lectionately style traitors to the south,
and "allies of the Yankee invaders;" if they
showed any disposition to extend to their
adversaries the same generosity which they
demand tor themselves ; it they would con
cede that the Southern man who was for
the Federal Government was in all respects
as honorable, honest, patriotic and respecta
ble as the Southern man who was for the
Confederacy; if they would cheerfully grant
that the southern man who fought for the
Union performed his duty, then the rights
and interests of Union people would be per-
rectly secure under the local governments
or the late insurrectionary states. lut the
reverse of all this is undeniably the fact,
throughout those states, Io have been
Union man there is political ostracism, civil
outlawry and social disgrace. We do not
therefore believe that the proposed amend
ment will secure peace in the South."
So far as we can judge this represents the
feelings of all real Union men in the South
ern States. Instead of regarding the pro
posed amendment as harsh towards the
rebels, they regard it as inadequate to their
own protection.
Venango and Petroleum Bank Notes.
The removal of the securities of the Ve
nango and Petroleum Banks from the Au
ditor General's office, has elicited consider
able comment in reference to the loose man
agement of that Department when in Demo
cratic hands. It proves, too, that the se
curity demanded from the Auditor General
is too small. With millions, as it were, at
his sole control with the fortunes of near
ly all the people engaged in banking under
the State laws at his disposal, the Auditor
General is only required to give $5,000 se
curity. In this sum only can Mr. Slenker
be held responsible in the transaction grow
ing out of the removal of the bonds of the
Venango and Petroleum Banks from the
Auditor General's Office.
It is only right that it should be clearly
understood that the removal of the securi
ties, as alleged by the parties prosecuting
in this case, Joes not affect the notes in cir
culation of the Ycnaaao and Petroleum
Banks Like amounts of notes were can
celled for like amounts of bonds removed.
The removal of these bonds only affects the
depositors in the Petroleum and Venango
Banks. The suit pending is between these
depositors and Mr. Culver. Culver alleges
that he entirely controlled the bonds in ques
tion that he procured and deposited with
the Auditor General said bonds, and that
he had full right to remove and use the
same. On this issue, it is stated, the pend
ing suit hinges. For the notes in circula
tion of these banks the Auditor General
holds full amounts of United States securi
ties, so that the note holders need not lose
a dollar. It is important that this fact
should be thoroughly understood, in order
to protect the note holders from unprinci
pled brokers and speculators, who are always
ready to take advantage of a panic in the
money market. Telegraph
Copperheads Betting on Geary.
We were long since satisfied that the de
spair of electing Clymer, on the pa-t of the
Copperhead leaders, amounted to a firm
conviction of his certain defeat. Every
Copperhead leader in the State has given
up the election of Geary as a foregone con
clusion. All they hope for is to make a
show of enthusiasm, dupe their ignorant
followers and control the government pat
ronage to their own profit. But we never
knew until yesterday that the despair which
has disheartened the leaders has also panic
ized the masses of the Copperheads. This
is illustrated by the fact of bets beins freelv
offered by such Copperheads that Geary
will be elected Governor. Under ordinary
circumstance, the offer of a bet on any re
sult does not prove anything conclusive ;
but when a man, a politician firmly wedded
to his party,offers to bet against hisown can
didates, the evidence is worth accepting that
that candidate is an a deplorable condition.
We pity Clymer. He now knows wnat
Copperhead infidelity means. When that
infidelity was practiced against the Govern
ment, Clymer deemed it a glorious action
to extol as independence. How does he
like it as applied to himself ? UarrisLurg
Telegraph, June 18.
Mr. Bigelow, Minister it Paris, writes to
Mr. Seward under date of June 4th, that
in a recent conversation M. Drouyn de
Lhuys has assured him of the entire good
faith of France in respect to the promised
withdrawal of troops from Mexico ; that the
report of an intention to bring away small
detachments only for the present is unfound
ed, and that no troops have been sent from
France to Mexico since the announcement
of the withdrawal, except 916 to fill vacan
cies in the existing corps. As for the send
ing of Austrian troops, that is a matter
with which France has nothing to do, and
for which no contract has been made.
Democratic candidates in the State of In
diana understand how to treat wounded sol
diers. Not long since a. Dr. Bryant, the
Democratic candidate for Senator in Spen
cer county assaulted and,, severely beat a
crippled soldier in Gentryville, who was un
able to defend himself. For this,- the val
iant Copperhead, the soldier's friend, was
taken before a J ustice of the Peace and
fined five dollars.
The "War in Europe.
From the London Times, Jane 9
In one quarter any delays of the German
powers are likely to excite impatience and
indignation. Italy has giveu herself up so
completely to a warlike policy that it would
be impossible for the Government to stop
the people, and difficult for the people to
stop themselves. We know not what se
cret understanding there may be between
Prussia and Italy, whether anything like a
convention has been arranged, and, if so,
what form it has assumed. But virtually
an alliance has been concluded, and Italy
will not fail to urge upon the Prussian Gov
ernment the expediency of immediate war.
Italy can now only see safety in such a
course. Her levies are so large, her ex
penses so euonuous in proportion to her
means, the enthusiasm of the people has
been so roused, such multitudes of men have
flocked into the army, that to return to a
state of political quiet, and expectation
would, in the opinion of Italian politicians,
be equivalent to national ruin. With her,
to draw back would be fatal, while to stand
still and allow the country to be crushed by
a war expenditure is impossible. The "rev
olution," to use the Continental phrase. has
been called to the aid of the Italian Gov
ernment ; and this same revolution is a spir
it which is not easily laid when it has once
been summoned. We may then expect to
find the Prussian Government exposed to
the strongest solicitations of its ally, and
Italy, perhaps, committed to a struggle by
some rash act of those whom she has sum
moned to her banner. It is announced that
the King was immediately to arrive in Flor
ence, and that Gen. Cialdini was also to be
there. Councils of war will no doubt fol
low, and Italy k'iW take her chances in at
tacking her enemy with or without the help
of an ally. But if Austria remains on the
defensive, those who attack the Quadrilat
eral will have no easy task. Something more
than zeal and patriotism is requisite to turn
a strong army out of such a position.
If any gleam appears on the dark horizon
it is to be found in the temper and behavior
of the Prussian and other German popula
tions. The King of Prussia and his minis
ters may well restitute when they see what
misery they have caused and what a spirit
may soon be roused. The conscription pres
ses with tremendous severity on the Prus
sian people. The country, though richer
and more industrious than formerly, has not
increased in population to a degree which
will admit of such enormous gatherings of
men. The army which is actually in the
field is said to amount to two hundred and
eighty thousand fighting men, with fifty-five
thousand accessories. There are one hun
dred and ten thousand of the first ban of
the Landwehr in garrisons. In times of
enthusiasm like 1813 these calls for flesh
and blood may be answered without unwil
lingness : but a war to please a minister, or
even to gain a seacoast and a fine harbor,
must not make too great demands. The re
quirements of the State have now been be
yond all bounds. A population of less than
nineteen millions is expected to support an
army of more than half a million c t men
on active service. To make up the number,
the clerk is taken from the countins house.
the tradesman from his shop, and the peas
ant from the field. Women are everywhere
performing more than their usual share ot
the hard and coarse work of the world. An
act of hostility on the part of Austria, such
as the entrance or Marshal Uenedeck into
Prussian Territory, micht make the people
forget these hardships in hatred of the en
emy, but at present the discontent is chiefly
with their own government. Not until the
enemy has struck a blow will' the King have
a really zealous and wailike army. As lofls
as peace is preserved there is the possibility
that this disposition of the Prussian neonle
may have some influence upon the ministe
rial policy. The middle States, which have
not yet given up hopes of reconciliation,
are, no doubt, encouraged by thi3 disinclina
tion for war to persevere in their efforts
Their own limited power, however, and the
cumbrous machinery of the Confederation,
are likely to interpose great obstacles to ef
fective action.
With the abandonment of the Oonfprpnr-e
the ettorts ot the neutral powers have natu
rally come to an end ; though, if there were
to appear any chance of resuming profita
ble negotiations, it would, doubtless, not be
neglected. Juvery power is interested m
checking a war which may spread over the
greater part of the continent. Even His.
tant Spain and Portugal think it necessary
to take measures tor insuring their neutral
ity. As regards central and southeastern
Europe the prospect is cloomv enmirh. Nor
are the outlying portions of the Turkish
empire yet so secure that we can afford to
dispense with the supervision and guardian
ship that the great powers have nxerisvl.
If those powers are engaged in war an am
bitious empire like Russia may attempt a
return to a policy that has only been tempo
rarily abandoned. Though we cannot think
it right that the neutral States should fur
ther interfere with the beligerents, they
might take counsel together for the benefit
of the rest of Europe, and use their influ
ence to prevent any ambitious power from
turning the general confusion to account.
Horrible Retribution. The Knox
ville Commercial says : "We have just
been shown private letter from Floyd coun
ty, Georgia, to one of our citizens, in which
one of the niot dastardly crimes is made
known we ever chronicled. Three ladies
were returning home from a visit to a neigh
bor, when a negro came upon them in a se
cluded out-of-the-way place, and attempted
to detain them all. Two of them succeeded
in getting away from him ; the otherone he
took into the woods, and tied her, and kept
her there two days without food, her friends
finding her at the end of that time. The
negro was caught,, and the- lady was asked
what punishment she desired to haxe in
flicted on this demon. She replied she
wanted his arjns cut off and then wished
him skinned alive. The sentence was ex
ecuted. The negro lived about ten minutes
after the operation.

The gTcenbacks'retired from circulation

amounted to twenty-one and a nuarter mil

A Timely Suggestion.
The greenbacks retired from circulation
between April 1st and June 1st of this year
amounted to twenty-one and a quarter mil
lions. Would it not have been better to
have purchased Government bonds with
these in the open market, and cancelled
them, instead of destroying the currency ?
Not only would twenty and a half millions,
if not more, of interest-bearing debt have
thus been liquidated, but there would also
have been effected, for all time, a saving of
taxes to the people for interest of one and a
quarter "millions in gold ; and, moreover,
the volume of a currency so much prized by
the working people, and so much needed to
encourage and sustain home industries,
would "have remained unimpaired. Redu
cing the debt by destroying the currencv on
ly renders it more difficult for the people to
obtain funds for meeting their taxes, with
out lessening those taxes a dime. Press.
The Contrast. It is not generally

he was wounded on three different occasions,
and has at this day an open wound in his

HOW TIIF.Y DWELL TOGETHER IN UNITY.
The baker's dozen or more Democrats in
Congress are not very harmonious. One of
them rises to a secession speech, holding
that the right of a State to go out of the
Union at any time and set up its indepen
dence, is a Democratic doctrine since 1798 ;
and straightway another Democrat rise to
protest that such is not the Democratic faith
on that subject. One compares Mrs. Sur
ratt with Jesus Christ, and another rises on
behalf of the party, to disclaim the blas
phemy. It a small band of persecuted
Democrats cannot agree, what may be ex
pected when the whole Democratic phalanx
of the South shall come in?
