Bo Compromise 'With Traitors.
The Philadelphia North American refer-
ing to the efforts among certain so-called
'ConservatireV to organize a new party for
the Presidential campaign, intended to in
ure to the benefit of Copperheads and Reb
els, Conservatives, "Whigs, Know-nothings,
every body, in fact, except the loyal Repub
lican party who are still masters of the sit
uation, protests, as do we, against any such
dodge. As is well said by the North Amer
ican, "this scheme will not work. We have
a vast amount of work yet to do, not merely
in the carrying of elections, although that
has more significance than some seem to im
agine, since in three separate cases a Presi
dent in faor of Northern principles has
mysteriously been substituted by a Vice
President favorable to Southern principles.
The question in regard to carrying the elec
tions is whether the Republican majority
shall be allowed to rule or shall be prevent
ed from doing so. The Republican party
must be restored to the power that has been
filched from it by the aid of assassination
and treachery. Until that shall be done we
want no more men seeking nominations of
us only to betray U3 when in position. But
after we shall have carried the Presidential
election,as,of course, wc shall, the great work
of the party must go on in Congress and
in the country, and those who do not under
stand what that work is, had better not un
dertake to play the part of counselors in
our ranks."
General Sheridan has telegraphed to Gen
eral Grant, declining to extend the time for
registration in Louisiana, in - compliance
with the President's conditional instruction?,
on the ground that registration has been
completed, and he did not feel like keeping
up expensive boards to suit new issues coming
in at the eleventh hour. He characterizes
the Attorney General' sopioton as opening
the broad road for perjury and fraud to
travel on, and remarks upon the President's
bitter antagonism to the reconstruction law,
that if after this report the time is to be ex
tended, he desires to be notified, and it will
be obeyed; would do it at once but the
President's telegram was conditional. The
total number of voters registered in Louisi
ana, up to the 16th inst., the latest date re
ceived here, was 69,111, of which 44,779 are
colored and 24,525 are white. This num
ber largely exceeds the vote polled in that
State at the Presidential election in I860.
Secretary Stanton has taken ground
againts the recent opinion of the Attorney
General. He differs with him in nearly
every essential point as to who arc entitled
to registration. This stand on the part of
Mr. Stanton will not prove surprising to
the country. It will in a great measure
make up for the silence he has maintained on
other important political subjects, and tend
greatly to satisfy the DCODle that his tcnaci
ty. id holding place in the Cabinet, proceed
ed from no retrogression from the cardinal
principles of his party.
Conqrkss to Meet. Robert C. Schenck,
Chairman of the Union Republican Execu
tive Committee, has issued a circular letter,
reminding the members of the importance
of being punctually present, at the re-assem
bling of Congress, on July 3d the recent
decision of Stanberry being deemed of such
importance as to warrant the meeting of
that body, at the time specified.
At the request of General Ulysses S.
Grant, and of other distinguished Union
men, Lieut General James Longstreet has
been pardoned by the President This par
don is a fitting sequence to his forcible and
well-timed reconstruction letters, which, so
far, it is worthy of remark, no Democratic
paper in this State has dared to publish.
The Copperhead council of Reading has
discovered that it would "mar the beauty"
of the streets of that city to erect a Soldiers'
Monument in any part thereof. Certainly,
as the same party denied the soldiers the
right to vote while they were battling for
the Government, it is consistent to refuse
them honorable sepulture.
It is stated that a witness has arrived in
"Washington, for the Surratt trial, who will
testify to his having been in the conspiracy
to assasinate President Lincoln. He will
testify this week, when the truth of this
will be settled.

The Murder Gase.
Con mob wb alts vs. Lisa Milleb. In the Court
of Oyer and Terminer of Clearfield county;
Indictment, Murder. Motion for i new trial
and in arrest of judgment.
The determination of this motion has been
postponed, from time to time, for several
reasons. First, because of the alleged preg
nancy of the Defendant, at the time the
verdict was rendered, which has turned out
to be a mistake : and, alterwards, it was
further postponed, at the instance of the
prisoner, because a bill had been introduced
in the Legislature which provided tor the
conferring upon the Governor the power to
commute the death penalty to imprisonpient.
Under such circumstances we deemed it hu
mane to postpone our decision, until it
should be known whether the bill, aforesaid,
would become a law. and thus allow the de
fendant the opportunity of availing herself
of its provision, if it snould pass, nnaiiy,
and be approved. The act did pass both
houses of the Legislature, but we have re
cently received official notice that it will not
be approved by the Governor, so that now
there remains uo reason or excuse for a fur
ther postponement, and the time has there
fore arrived when the solemn duty devolves
upon us of determining whether there is or
is not, grounds for granting the defendant's
motion.
We will dispose of the several reasons
proposed for a new trial, and in arrest of
judgment, in the order in which they occur
in the motion filed. They are as follows :
1. ' "That the Court erred in their charge
to the jury in giving positive directions in
regard to the degree of murder which they
must find, and also in other directions
given." We have 'carefully reviewed our
charge, in the liht of the very earnest and
able argument of the Counsel for the nris-
dner, and regret to say that we have been
unable to discern any error. We still think,
as we did upon the trial, that in cases of
murder by poison, the jury must either find
the defendant guilty of murder in the first
degree, or render a verdict of acquittal, and
that it is the duty of the Court so to instruct
the jury. It affords us great relief, howev
er, to know that if we have committed the
error alleged in this reason, it is so palpable
and so broadly stated in the language used
in the charge, that the prisoner will have
no difficulty in reversing our judgment in
the Supreme Court In a case of this char
acter we shall certainly not feel disobliged
by such a reversal.
2. "There were improper associations and
interference with the jury, on the part of
the persons having them in charge and on
the part of others, so as seriously to inter
fere with the jury, in their deliberations as
jurors and the discharge of their duties."
There has been no evidence offered in sup
port of this allegation, and we therefore
pass it by without particular remark.
3. "The evidence at the trial was all con
sistant with the innocence of the defendant,
and falls far short of what is required, in such
cases, to secure a conviction of murder in
the first degree." According to the views
we entertain of the law, applicable to this
case, if the defendant can be convicted at
all, it must be of the crime of murder in
the first degree, and we are far from agreeing
with, the statement made la this reason that
"the evidence falls iar short of what is re
quired, in suca cases, to secure a conviction
of murder in the first degree." On the
contrary, after having listened to the entire
body of the evidence, it seemed to us tt at
the human mind could scarcely resist the
conviction that the defendant is guilty of
the crime alleged in the indictment
As to the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th reasons
assigned, there was no evidence oflered in
their support, and we therefore dismiss
them without particular remark.
After the granting of the rule, to show
cause why a new trial should not be grant
ed, an additional reason was filed, by leave
or Lourt, in the words following, viz :
8. "The jury were improperly allowed to
hear communications and declarations made
by a witness, intended for the Court alone.
to the effect that the defendant had admit
ted she was euilty. or said she was cuiltv.
and that the declaration was repeated at the
time by the Counsel tor the Commonwealth,
and was, with other declarations thus made.
of such a character as to i'npress the jury
and influence them in making up their ver
dict, and did so influence thotn." This re
fers to certain statements made inadvertant
ly, by a witness, named Wm. McCartney
Thompson, and which, it is alleged, had an
improper and injurious influence upon the
prisoners defense. When this witness was
first called, he proceeded to relate certain
facts, which were clearly evidence, and to
which no objection was made. The Com
monwealth then introduced a written offer,
proposing to prove by this witness certain
confessions made to him whilst he was con
veying her to jaiL This offer was objected to
by Counsel for the prisoner, and the Court
thereupon proceeded to hear evidence as to
whether the confessions were voluntarily
and such as could be received according to
the ruie3 or law, applicable to confessions.
In the course of this examination, although
the witness was instructed by the Court as
to what he should or should not relate, per
haps ignorantly stated, in his evidence to
the Court, part of the alleged confessions
mentioned in the offer: and this the prison
er complains of and alleges as a ground for
a new trial. We have most thoroughly and
cautiously considered this reason, and have
examined it with that decree of care which
the solemnity of the interests involved in
this case imperatively demand, and after a
full consideration of all the facts and the
arguments of Counsel, we are constrained
to say that, notwithstanding the life of the
prisoner is at stake, we do not deem this a
valid reason for granting a new trial in this
case. Immediately after the expressions
had been made, that are complained of, we
took occasion to explain to the jury, in a
full and explicit manner, that they were not
to regard the evidence offered to the Court
for the purpose of determining whether the
offer made was admissable, but that they
must carefully exclude it from their consid
eration. This explanation and direction
was, as we think, so full, clear and explicit,
that we cannot presume that any jury, much
less a jury composed of twelve as intelligent,
upright men, as were impanneled in this
case, could mistake our directions. It is
fair to presume, on the contrary, that their
amy regarded, even though
this be a capital case. The .'no.;
were, by way or caution. arain rn,t ;
our charge to the jury, and we, moreover,
took occasion to say to them, quite emphat
ically, that if they believed the wit
who testified as to the character of McCart
ney for truth, it would be their duty to dis
regard his testimony in toto. With all these
cautions and safeguards, we cannot believe
that any injury was done to the defendant
by the inadvertant expressions made use of
by this witness in his evidence to the Court,
especially, as we regard the evidence in the
cause, independent of anything this witness
said, sufficient to produce a strong convic
tion of the prisoners guilt Happy, indeed,
would we have been to have our minds led
to the conviction that any of these reasons,
taken separately, or all of them taken to
gether, would be sufficient to warrant us in
granting a new trial to this unfortunate de
fendant, consistently with our conscientious
convictions of duty. But, alas, our minds
are forced to the conviction that they are in
sufficient, and we are thus compelled to
overrule the motion.
The motion for a new trial is overruled,
and the motion in arrest m of judgment is
disrharped. and judgment is ordered to be
entered for the Commonwealth in the ver
dict Br The Court.
SENTENCE. '
Lena Miller, have you anything to say
why sentence of death should not be passed
upon you, according to law ?
f And nothing satisfactory appearing from
her statement, the Court proceeded to pass
luderment, as follows :
The sentence of the law is, and it is there
fore considered and adjudged by the Court,
that you, Lena Miller, the prisoner at the
bar, be taken from hence to the jail of tho
county of Clearfield, from whence you came,
and from thence to the place of execution,
and that you be there banged by the neck
until you are dead, and may God have mer
cy on your soul.
From New Orleans a special to New
York states that General Beauregard, in
conjunction with the National Bank ring of
New Orleans, and a few of his personal
friends, has been attempting a little game
of sharp practice on the Government,
which fortunately failed, owing to the
vigilance of the officers of the Treasury
Department. Among the assets transferred
to the Government to secure it against loss
from the May-Whitaker Sub-Treasury de
falcation, was the New Orleans and Carrol
ton Railroad, of which May held a large
amount of stock, and which is now under
the superintendence of Beauregard. His
friends offered $240,000 to the Government
for it, but as it was valued at $400,000 the
bid was refused. In the meantime the Cre
ole General wrote to the Department repeat
edly, depreciating the value of the road,
and stating that the bid was too high. For"
tunately a special agent in New Orleans saw
through the game and blocked it.
Leading citizens of New Orleans have
united in bearing testimony to the worth
and integrity of Collector Kellog, against
whom serious charges were preferred to the
President. The main fault of the Collector
appears to have been his sympathy with the
Republican Party. The document impugn
ing his character for honesty, mentioned
thirty citizens of New Orleans, who would
attest the truth of the charges when 'called
upon. Twenty-six of the gentlemen ""have
signed a paper endorsing Mr. Kellog and
denouncing his accu scrs, while the remain
irg four are unknown.
The Republican State Convention of Iowa
nominated on June 20th, candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and
adopted a strong, positive, Radical platform,
declaring for equal rights irrespective of
race, color, or religion ; endorsing the re
construction acts; calling for p July session,
and demanding that treason and traitors
shall be punished according to law.
Instructions to our new Minister to Mex
ico have been forwarded, together with his
commission, to the City of Mexico by way
of Vera Cruz. Mr. Alterbourg was ap
pointed Consul in 1861, and has remained
ever since in Mexico. He is required, how
ever, to communicate at once with President
Jaurcz.
The order of Postmaster General Randall
directing that all railroad companies shall
pay postage on all letters and documents
carried by them is of more importance than
is generally known. If honestly obeyed, it
is estimated that it will add over one million
dollars to our revenue.
Something of more than an ordinary na
ture has transpired in the Military District
composed of North and South Carolina,
General Sickles having asked to be relieved
of his command, at the same time demand
ing a Court of Inquiry as to bis conduct of
affairs.
The Sublime Porte of Turkey refuses to
suspend hostilities in Candia, but is willing
that the Great Powers inquire into the al
leged grievances of the Christians, the
Porte to be represented in the commission
of investigation.
The people of Central City, Colorado,
have subscribed $5,000 to be paid for Indian
scalps "with the ears on," at the rate of
$20 a piece. From all appearances Gen.
Sherman will have to fight with two-edged
swordvand it may be questioned whether the
white or the red savages are the more law
less and brutal.
The New York World takes no stock, in
the belief that the cholera will appear in
that city in epidemic form. It says New
York was never so healthy as at the present
time, and that people who keep clean, eat
moderately, and pay their debts, need be in
uo fear of the cholera.
The man who first offered anthracite coal
for sale as fuel, was put into an asylum for
the insane, and died there.
There is one undertaker for every ten dv-
tors in Chicago. Necessarily the underta
ker must grow rich.
Peaches are selling in Jersey City at $1 50
a piece.
Another Longstreet Letter.
Appended there will be found another
strong letter from General Longstreet in
which again, with a few ringing, nervpus
words, he gives the points of the situation
with graphic force and power. These let
ters of the ex-rebel leader are the best cam
paign documents yet issued. If they had
been written for the very purpose of being
used in Pennsylvania this fall they could
not be clearer or more telling. "The war
was made upon Republican principles and
it seems to me fair and just that the settle
ment should be made accordingly." This
thoroughly honest, manly sentence must
bring the blush to every Democratic cheek
not lost to shame. Which is the most
creditable, the hero of Chickamauga, hon
estly laboring to retrieve the ruined fortunes
of his country, or the Rip Van Winkle
Harrisburg convention still drivelling the
treason for which they were afraid to fight?
We hope, says the Press, to see the Long
street letters published prominently in ev
ery Union paper in Pennsylvania, and let
the Republican journals in each county
never rest until they have forced their pub
lication in the trembling sheets of their
Democratic contemporaries and neighbors.
The will fall like hot shot into the camp of
the Democracy. They convict that time
serving organization of cowardice and bad
faith.
How puerile and pitiful reads the Harris
burg platform beside the fresh, fearless ut
terances of the I onest soldier I now con
temptible the rear-guard of rebellion con
trasts with the devoted columns that charg
all along the Confederate lines from Rich
mond to Chattanooga !
It may yet be expedient to invite Lieu
tenant General James Longstreet to Penn
sylvania as a campaign crator this coming
election. We know of nothing that would
more advance the interests of our party and
cause, than to prove to the people of the
State how the intelligent and honorable
leaders of the late rebellion loathe and scorn
and repudiate as dishonest and dangerous
the modern bastard Democracy :
New Orleans, La., Friday, June 7, 1867.
To tlte IkiUor of the Atw Orleans Times :
In your paper of yesterday I notice the
following paragraph, viz: "There is anoth
er very extraordinary case exhibited in the
publication of a letter from one of the brav
est and stoutest of the late Confederate
generals, who gives in his adhesion to a
party whose whole policy seems to be one of
vindictive persecution of his late confeder
ates in arms."
I think this paragraph is calculated to
mislead the public as to my views and mo
tives. If my letter had been published
with the strictures, I should have had do
cause ot complaint. Or if yoa had ex
plained that its whole tenor was expressive
of a desire to relieve my "late confederates
in arms of the unnatural condition in which
they have been placed by the progress of
revolution, I should offer no complaint or
explanation upon your comments.
I am well satisfied that order cannot be
organized out of confusion as long as the
conflicting interests of two jxirties are to be
subserved. The tear was made ttpon Re
publican issues, and it seems to vie fair and
just that the settlement should be made ac
cordingly. This conviction, together with the views
expressed in my letter, and your invitation
in March last, to express my opinions on
politics, are my excuses for speaking and
for making the concessions that I think due,
and for offering my counsel to the people.
If I understand the object ot politics; it
is to relieve the distress of the people and
to previde for their future comfort. The
course I advise will be sure to meet this
view and do justice to" all. In times of
grett ease and comfort I should not presume
to interfere with politics, no matter what
technicalities or special pleadings might be
adopted by parties. But these are unusual
times and call for practical advice.
If the paragraph that I have quoted had
reference to my letter, 1 ask that you will
do me the favor to publish this and my let
ter as soon as you may have convenient
space for them.
I remain, very respectfully, your most
obedient servant, James Longstreet.
Another Fire is Philadelphia. On
June 26th, another fearful calamityjoccurred
in Philadelphia. The American Theatre
took fire about ten o'clock at night, and is
now a mass of ruins. The audience and
actors escaped' without serious injury, but
during the conflagration the front wall fell
upon Walnut street and buried a great num
ber of persons in the debris. Eleven fire
men are known to have been killed, and
thirty wounded, some dangerously. Some
of the audience, together with a few of the
male performers, did all they could to stay
the progress of the flames by tearing down
the scenery, and while thus engaged the
drop curtain, together with the roller fell.
This compelled all to leave, and in a few
moments the flames burst from the roof,
causing a conflagration which was seen for
many squares around. The interior of the
house being made up of light, dry wood,
canvas, paint, &c, the flames spread with
rapidity, and as the roof fell showers of
sparks and great balls of fire were seen float
ing in the air, causing great apprehension
for surrounding property. The fire, it is
supposed, originated in the stable on San
som street, occupied by Mr. Fox, and situ
ated under the dressing rooms. The total
loss by the fire is estimated at one hundred
thousand dollars, on which there is an insu
rance of only thirty-five thousand. The
actors and danseuses escaped in their stage
dresses, and lost everything they had in the
world.
When the Attorney General seeks to give
his construction of the law, the force of the
law itself, he is guilty both of an imperti
nence and a crime. The only law-making
power in this country is Congress, and
whatever the President or the Supreme
Court may say to the contrary, the will of
Congress ought to stand, and will be made
stand.
Recently emigrants have been arriving in

The Action of the President.
The President and his Cabinet on Mon
day June 17th decided that the opinion of
the Attorney General necessitates the
revoking of those acts of the District Com
manders which it declared to be illegal. 51 r.
BtanDery nimselt pointed out that such ac
tion would necessarily follow the approval of
his argument "There is," he said, "an ex
"ecutive duty to be performed here which
"cannot safely be avoided or delayed," and
in support of this conclusion, he quoted re
cent decisions of the Supreme Court, in an
elaborate argument It is evident that the
Presidential interpretation of the reconstruc
tion law is not intended to be merely a theo
ry ; it is to be carried out As rapidly
as possible our soldiers in the Rebel States
are to be converted into uniform policemen,
powerless to repress disloyalty or punish
crime, exept when they, take the shape of
murder and massacre. All that fehendan,
and Sickles, and Pope have done to protect
loyal men, and to prevent the States from
falling altogether into Rebel control, is to be
undone by peremptory order. All that the
people did through their Congress is to be
undone bv one man. The law is to be nul
lified. We are constrained to believe that
this is the President's intention, and that he
means that hi lightning and Mr. Stanbery'6
thunder shall fall together. Already the
rebels in New-Orleans are rejoicing in the
faith that Monroe and Abell are to be rein
stated in the offices they abused. If this is
not the President's intention, the opinion
of his officer is waste paper, and the Cabi
net meeting on the 17th an idle threat. But
there is a thuuderbolt behind that Mr.
Johnson wields, and if, indeed, this issue is
to be forced upon the country, it will be
promptly met. Gen. Schenck, it is 6aid,
has already summoned the members of Con
gress to Washington, and, our dispatches
say, ot the fourteen Senators who have ac
companied Senator Wade on his Western
excursion there is not one who has not deci
ded that a July session is necessary. New

The Copperheads who met in convention
and nominated Sharswood for Supreme
Judge, contemplated the passage of resolu
tions denouncing the License law passed at
the late session of the legislature, but they
were deterred from doing this by the deter
mined threats of a few pure men, members
of that body, who declared that if such an
effort was made a row would be the result
This squelched the offending resolution. It
leaves the Copperheads, therefore, in the
attitude of having whisky on one shoulder
for the liquor men, and water on the other
shoulder for the temperance men. It is a
fair exhibition of Copperhead consistency.
There seems to be no doubt that some of
the buccaneers and pirates who composed
the Confederate "Navy" during the war of
the rebellion, are now engaged in kidnap
ping freed men, by inducing them to take
passage on board emigrant ships to Lilteria,
when the' are run to Cuba and sold into
slavery. Southern men who now live in
Cdba cultivating plantations there, buy the
negroes and then say they purchased the
chattels from Yankees, in order to screen
the kidnappers who are engaged in the traf
fic And to complete this brutal business
it only needed the Copperhead press of the
North to insist that the "trade ' is carried
oh by Yankees.
