"The Voice of the People."
The Hollidaysburg Register, in comment
ing upon the failure of the Free Railroad
. Law, in the last Legislature, also suggests a
remedy, which, if seconded by the people,
cannot fail to procure the passage of 6uch a
law a3 the wants of the country seem to de
mand. It says :
"We had hoped that the Legislature of the last
winter would readily hearken to the voice of the
people. The House was anti-railroad. or it seem
ed so. from some of its decisions. Their duty will
be to keep it so next year, and in the mean time
the Senate must be reformed. If necessary our
warmest personal friends must be discarded, if
they do not ma lie up their minds to agree to the
most liberal legislation on the railroad question.
Pennsylvania demands more than one through line
from the Great West She will have it. and those
who propose to be candidates for the nest Legis
lature may make up their minds to pledge them
selves to this doctrine If they do not, there will
be no hope for them in many counties. We utter
this beliet in all eandor, because the manifesta
tions of the Deonle indicate it. This demand re
quires no sacrifice of principles no betrayal of
former pledges, and whoever is not willing to
take tbisside will scarcely beconsidered as worthy
of publio confidence."
The opinion here expressed by the Reg
ister, is but a reflex of the general senti
ment of the State. None but faithful men
should be sent to the Legislature, if possible.
Those who have been faithful in the past,
bhould be remembered in the4 future. And
if any have been unfaithful heretofore, or
hare manifested a weakness in reference to
the wishes of the people, they should be
thrust aside as unworthy the suffrages of a
free, liberal-minded, and progressive con
. ptituency that considers the improvement
and development of the State as paramount
to all personal or individual interests.
The Northern Democracy.' The New
York correspondent of the Charleston Cour
ier, in sneaVing of the occasional "flings"
made by Southern men at the Democracy
of the North, establishes the following
points :
1. That the only friends the South have
are in the Democratic party.
2. That the Democratic party would have
etopped the war and secured Southern inde
pendence had they not bssn "overborne by
the sentiment of the Northern people."
3. That the Democratic party would have
redeemed its promise to stand by the South
and prevent coercion, if "at the critical mo
ment it had not been deserted by many of
its prominent men."
4. The consistent Democrats who were for
throwing themselves into the breach in aid
of the Southern rebellion now constitute
the backbone of the Democratic parly, and
should not now bo abandoned by the South.
The people will appreciate this candid
statement of the Democratic situation ; an I
we may add, that what is thus admitted is
only what was charged on the Democracy
during the war by all the Republican jour
nalists of the loyal States.
A Fact. The Vess says: Wten the
Southern rebels made war against the Gov
ernment, they committed the felony of trea
son. Treason is a crime like rape, larceny,
burglary or any other offence tried in ouj
criminal courts, only it is by the common
law the highest oall felonies, and by all the
laws of every time, works a forfeiture of all
rights, including the right to live. In the
case of our great rebellion, we, out of .great
mercy and forbearance, have restored at
once to all the late rebe'a all their civil rights.
Out of prudence we- have not yet given
them back fully their political right-?. We
shall do so when we deem it best and safe.
This Is the law aud common sense of our
position to-day. It is simple, clear, and un
derstood by the people, and they cannot be
confuted or muddled by the chancery and
circumlocution politicians.
Nominated. Rev. II. Ward Beecher
has been nominated in Brooklyn, as a can
didate for election to the State Constitutional
Convention a rather interesting and unu
sual proceeding in New York. Iu that
State, clergymen are seldom" put up for of
fice, and scarcely do we find them seeking a,
nomination for any political position. This
habit Beeins to be a good one, and strictly in
accordance with enlightened propriety. The
position for which Mr. Beecher has been
named is an exception, however, and there
are many reasons in favor of the proceeding.
In reorganizing the fundamental law, the
beat minds of all classes and professions in
the land, should be called to take park
Execution of a Murderer. Albert
Temple was executed at Doylestown, on
. Thursday the 18th. Though deuying h
waa guilty of the murder of Captain Wiley,
for which offense he was hung, he confessed
other crimes. He was visited by his father
and other relatives and friends, the night
before his execution. In the morning he
was in convulsions, from poison, it is sup
posed. He was attended by several physi
cians, and though very weak, and more
.dead than alive, he was hang at 12 o'clock,
paving swallowed a heavy dose of brandy.
A Queer Statistical Comparison.
An exchange makes the following Bingnlar
comparison: The salaries the fees, we
presume of lawyers in the Uoited States
amount to $35,000,000, that the keeping of
criminals costs $12,000,000, that tho dogs
require $10,1300,000 for their subsistence and !
entertauiment,and the preachers $6,000,000,
and that there is more grumbling about the
expense of supporting ministers and relig
ious institutions than about all the others
named. We do njt vouch for the correct
ness of the estimates, nor altogether admire
the classification, but it answers the purpose
of showing how abstrd and ridiculous . are
the apprehensions entertained of the im
poverishment and ruin of the country by
the outlays for religion. And to the senti
ment of a cotemporary, that "no one thing
exerts such a mighty influence in keeping
this Republic from falling to pieces as the
Bible and ministers," we may add that no
one supplies its aid with solit.le Ostentation
or .at so small an expense.
Its Latitude. The Commercial says :
Persons who speak of our newly acquired
Northwestern possessions as a region so cold
as to forbi'd the idea of population, civiliza
tion and the arts of commerce, should re
member that its southern boundary is south
of a large part of Ircfand and England, and
Russia in Europe, and all of Scotland and
Denmark, and Sweden and Norway popu
lous kingdoms. The prosperous and famous
cities of Belfast and Londonderry, Carlisle
and Newcastle, Copenhagen, Stockholm
and Moscow, are all north of that line, and
St. Petersburg is several hundred miles
north of it. It will not be many years be
fore free American cities north of it will ri
val many of these we have mentioned.
Soldiers' Orphan Schools. We learn
from the Harrisburg Telegraph that Col.
George F. McFarlaad, at present a clerk in
the School Department, has been appointed
Superintendant of Soldiers' Orphan Schools
of Pennsylvania. Col. McF. is among the
ablest and most experienced of the profes
sional educators in the country, and was for
several years at the head of one of our most
flourishing seminaries. He rendered gallant
service during the war, and lost a leg whiht
leading a charge at the battle of Gettysburg..
He had done much towards perfecting the
plan for educating soldiers' orphans, and
will unquestionably render that great system
a success and a credit to theCommonwcalth.
The Wheat Crop. A correspondent of
the Chicago Times, writing from Rockford,
Illinois, concerning the price to which he
alleges wheat has been carried by specula
tors, says ; "Now, all the farmers want is
for these men to. keep their faith until they
get through with their wheat seeding, which
is progressing finely, when they will give
them No. 2 in such quantities as will dispel
their ideas of a famine this year. The fall
seeding of both wheat and rye never looked
better on the 8th of April than they do now."
Education in Maryland. The report
just issued of the State Superintendent of
Public Instruction for the State of Mary
land for the year ending June 50, 1856.
shows that there was expended throughout
the State for schools and teachers $674, 525."
40, while the expenditures for courts, alms
houses, paupers, and jails, was $1,044,4.87.
54. If these figures could be reversed,
Maryland would be a more loyal and pros
perous State.
The "Negro" Democracy. The Ten
nessee "Conservative" Convention was
held in Nashville, on Tuesday, April 16th..
The representation of negroes was very
small, only six being present. Speeches of
amostviolcrt character, denouncing Con
gress and the radical party, and applauding
the Confederacy were delivered. Emerson
Ethridge was nominated for Governor.
The Supreme Judgsuip. The Cham
bersburg Repository says : "It now seems
probable that the Democrats will nominate
Judge Sharswood for Supreme Judge, and
if so, he will be a strong candidate. Judge
Linn, of Bellefonte, seems prominent for
the Republican nomination."
Just Like Them. It anything was
wanting to show the malignant dishonesty
and malevolence of the Democracy, it would
be the course of their press regarding the
prompt measures by the State Administra
tion to put down the riots in the mining
counties. The companies raised' to quell
Uie disturbances have been stigmatized as
moss troopers," and every appeal has been
made to the ignorance and passion of the
misguided and criminal rioters. Such lan
guage is incendiary ; the unscrupulous men
who use it are dangerous in a community,
and indictable by any intelligent grand jury.
The whole Democratic press at present is
not doing much to dignify or make respect
able the profession of journalism, and some
of the ruial Copperhead sheets are disgra
cing it every day. Rress.
The Jackson ( M ississipni) Clarion assures
us of the gratifying truth though deeply
regretting it that "the fact is too manifest
to beienied, and too important to bo disre
garded, that the Republican party is fast
extending its ramificatsons throughout the
Southern States. In all of these States in
itial movements, more or less formidable,
are on foot for forming a compact party to
co-operate with that organization. It is a
part of the matured scheme of the leaders
of that party to maintain its ascendency,
and they have seized the opportunity afford
ed by the introduction of the new clause
into th elective franchise.
Omaha in 1853 was the site of an Indian
village. It ha3 now a population of ten

What a Southern Paper thinks of the De
mocracy and the Connecticut Election.
From the Charlottsville (Va.) Chronicle, Apiil 4
The election in Connecticut is a straw
which suggests
that the Radical wave has
begun
to ebb. Let us not run away it is
only a
rinnle. Last year the Republican
candidate tor Governor was elected by 500
majority ; thi3 year the Democratic or Con
servative candidate is elected by 800 major
ity a change of 800 votes. This is the
whole business. The Democratic party also
took ground during the canvass iu favor of
the "eight hour" system of labor, and of
course made a strong appeal to the working
classes. .
The telegraph brings us the results simul
taneously with those of. the Connecticut
election, of municipal elections in Cincin
nati and Circleville, Ohio. The former city
canied by the Republicans by 5,000 major
ity, their entire ticket being elected a Re
publican gain of 1,200. The latter town
was also carried by the Republicans, and it
is added that this party gained largely on
the previous election.
What we would say, therefore, is this:
Let not the South, as usual, fly off at the
helve about the Connecticut election ; let us
not fall back again in hope upon the "'Dem
ocratic party. ' ' We have suffered sufficient
ly by delusions of this sort within the past
two years.
The Connecticut election is a good thing
provided the Conservative men of the coun
try, North and South, learn the proper les
son from it. It is a very bad thing, if it
leads us anew into the bog of the "North
ern Democracy." Neither the Democratic
party, nor President Johnson, nor the Su
preme Court, is going to be of any service
to the South. As matters now stand, the
North and the South are arrayed against
each other just as they were during actual
hostilities.- The North is still tusing its
sword. It is still hacking and slashing the
body ot its prostrate foe. Why is this?
There is a philo.-ophical reason for it apart
from the mere passion aud violence of the
hour. Why has the North been so rough
wih the South why has it put the ballot
in the hands of our recently emancipated
slaves ? The reason was fear they fear the
future. They fear the old Democratic par
ty and the old alliauce between this party
and a united South. "
The Northern people have determined to
secure the practical fruits of their decisive
victory ; and they know the rebellion is not
over so long as the Xorthern Democracy is
undispersed. If there is one thing that is
hated by the Northern people now, it is
what they call the "Copperhead Democra
cy." Now, the Northern Democrats want
to get into power as a party again ; and they
find the Southern question a line election
eering capital. 1 hey are pcrteetly willing
to take our rmrt until the matter comes to
Llows. They hacked us up manfully until
April, iSfil. They pressed us to "go out."
butler led them on to the charge at Charles
ton fifty-seven times in behalf of Jefferson
Davis. But when actual war came they
shot us powerfully and used to brag that
they furnished all the soldiers to the "U
nion" armies.
Since Gen. Lee's surrender they have be
come strongly Southern again ; indeed, we
have habitually observed that our friends
north of 4 he Potomac take a warmer inter
est iu our honor than ice do ourselves. We
thank. the northern Democracy for a certain
measure of sympathy, but our experience
iu life has taught us that self-interest is the
great spring of human action. The North
ern Democracy have use for us in peace,
they have none in war. They talk, about
the Constitution, and violation of the Con
stitution, and usurpation, and tyranny, and
consolidation ; but they never Jight, except
against the Constitution and for consolida
tion. They set us up to receive the whole
fury of the storm ; they have, after repeal
ing the Missouri Compromise, and sustain
ing the Administration of Mr. Uuchanaa,
brought us to universal negio suffrage.
Since the close of the war they have stood
forward again as our champior s, and have
merely done us mischief by keeping up old
party lines and party feuds. The other day
they combined with Thaddeds Stevens and
the extreme Radicals, and 4efeat'd" tte
Sherman bill as it cam? from the Senate,
and the consequence was we got the Sher
man bill with the Shellabargcr amendment.
Their object is to make party capital, and
the South is merely a ball that is struck at
by the bats of the contending parties. It
is wounded game for which two fierce beasts
are struggling, and we have beeu torn near
ly to pieces by their respective efforts to
snatch the prey from each other.
Now, this Connecticut election loosens, as
it were, the hold of the Radical beast on
on the Southern carcass; it natches, as it
were, the lacerated body for an instant from
between the Radical teeth, and the conse
quence will be that this animal will be alarm
ed and) infurj$ted, and will seize us again.
Radicalism is determined that Demociacy
shall not carry off the prize.
We fear that the petty triumph in Con
necticut will revive those easily-awakened
.Democratic hopes, and that we shall hear
for the tenth time of the "great Democrat
ic party." Tl e result will be the Northern
column will close up again, the Radical trum
pets will sound afresh, and the crusade
against the South, lulled for an instant, will
be again set in motion. This will be the
result if the Democracy make any serious
noise. The Republican party cannot be
beaten at the Nerth by the Democratic party.
The latter party is extremely unpopular
among the Northern masses. The victory
in Connecticut is not owine to the strength
Of the Democratic party. They called them
selves the "Conservative" party. The vic
tory is owing to the waning popularity of
the Radicals. If a new party is organized,
and the old prejudices against the Demo
cratic party dodged, there is hope of future
victories at the North over the Radicals

The evidence taken by the House Judioiary
Com mil tee relative to the discovery and pursuit
of John H .Surratt ia just made pubiio as officially
reported before that Committee, and coa ains the
testimony, einbrneing a partial onfession from
Surratt as to his complicity in the assassination
plot, and of bis much disputed whereabouts on
the day the assassination took place. It appears
from the evidence ot L. J. .McMillan, surgeon of
the steamer Peruvian, plying between Montreal
and Liverpool, that Surratt came on board in
September, 1S'.5, booked for Liverpool, and that
becoming intimate he confessed to McMillan who
he was. The supplemental evidence, together
with the official correspondence of the State De
partment with our Foreign Ministers and Con
sul?, show that the Confession of identity to Mc
Millan was the original and sole cause which
eventually led to Surratt's arrest. This corrob
oration leaves no room to doubt the evidence. Dr.
McMillan testifies that Surratt came on board the
Peruvian, at Montreal, on September 11th, 1S65,
and was introduced to him under the name of
McCarthy; that becoming well acqnainted in a
few days, Surratt confessed to him that he had
been from the beginning in the Confederate States
service carrying dispatches between Washington
and Richmond, and also as far as Montreal ; that
he and booth had planned at first tho abduction
of President Lincoln ; that, however, they thought
they could not succeed in that way, and they
thought it waa necessary to change their plan.
After this, before the assassination, Surratt was
in Montreal, when he received a letter from Booth
ordering him immediately to Washington; that
it was necessary to act and act promptly, and he
was to leave Montreal immediately for Washing
ton. He did not tell me he came to Washington,
but be told me be came as far as Elmira, in the
State of New York, and from that place telegraph
ed to New York to find out whether Booth had al
ready left for Washington, au.l he was answered
that he had. lie did not tell me whether he h:id
gone further than Elm;ra. The next place be
kpoke of to me was St Albans, Vermont, where
he said he arrived early one morning at breakfast
time, and went to a hotel there for breakfast.
' While he was siting there he hoard several men
talking "aboat an assassination, and he inquired
'What was up They asked him if he didn't
know that President Lincoln had been assassina
ted, lie said, "I did not believe it, because the
story was too good to be true." On that a gentle
man pulled out a paper aud handed it to him. lie
opened it and saw his own name as one of the as
sassins. He said it unnerved him so much that the
paper fell out of his hands, and be immediately
left the room and walked out, and as he was going
I out through the house be heard another party
say that Surratt must hare been or was at the
time in St Albans, because such a person (men
tioning the person's name) had found a pock'et-
nanuKercniet on tne street with Aurratt a name
on it. He told me that he looked in his pocket
and found be had lost his pocket-handkerchief.
From that place he then wnt to Canada, and was
concealed there from April to September. When
he was aboard the ship ho called me aside and
again commenced to talk about the assassination,
and one thing or the other. . It was in the even
ing, and we were alone together ; he tock out his
revolve-, which be keptia his pocket all the time.
and pointing it to the heavens, said, "I hope and
wish to live just a few years more ; two years will
dome, and then I shall go back to, the United
States, and I shall serve Andrew Johnson as Abra
ham Linooln has been served." I asked him why,
and he answered -because he has been the cause
of my mother being hung " Dr. McMillan fur
ther testified that he arrived in Liverpool, Sep
tember 27, 18(55. and went before the American
Consul. Mr. Wild, and made allidavit to the above
facts. An official letter from Consul Wild shows
that the affidavit caused the commencement of the
pursuit of Surratt which resulted in his capture
in little more than a year from that time.
