THE GATES AEE OPEN THEEE.
The voice of inelddy is hushed,
Silent the house of prayer ;
But songs are echoing in heaven ;
The pates are open there.
Darkness ha? locked the other door,
Guards the untrodden staires ;
The "many mansions" are not dark :
The gates aie open there.
New footsteps ever pressing in
The place prepared to claim ;
. ' ' New brows uplifted to receive
The. new baptismal name.
Each moment of the busy week
Unbindeth loads of care,
. Andbeareth upward weary souls
To restless service there.
The darkest hours of longest night
With noisless pinions bear
Awakened ones to life and light ;
The gates are open there.
Open for angels to descend
Ami minister to thee ;
Open for prayer to enter in
Open for you and mo.
Scientific Rascality is Commerce.
It Is no longer a secret of the chemis t lab
oratory," that clear, golden syrup can be
made from starch and sulphuric acid ; that
delicious wines and brandies can be made
from beet root with ethers for fltvor ; that a
barrel of peanuts can be transformed into
excellent collee ; that lard can absorb an e
normous quantity ot water in certain Ojjttdi
tions :"that in fact there seems no limit to
the adulterations that an intelliirentand dis
honest chemist cannot nractic2 unon Ins
fellow men. -All these marvels of chemical
science have in these latter days become de
graded into mere tricks of trade, and their
chief beauty is in their capacity to enable
tincrupnlous dealers to lighten the pockets
and destroy the stomachs of the confiding
and consuming public. Concerning the nr
ticle of champagne, a writer in the Port
land Star tells us that it is made from a
thousand different substances even refined
petroleum. Yes, from the fiery benzoles a
fparkling, bubling, foaming champagne can
le produced which will delight the eye, tiok
le the palate, gladden our paces toward the
grave-yard. This is a new use for petrole
um, which those who have, been experi
menting with it as an agency for eenera
ting steam hnve 1 trie dreamed of. Who can
Bay that the Pennsylvania oil territory, now
considered mostly worthless, may not some
day be regeneraed into the great cham
pagne producing country of the world.
New Uses for Potatoes, Turnips and
Carrots. Chemistry has just discovered a
new and chep method of supplying smok
ers with meerschaums, warranted to color as
well as the genuine "article." It seems that
if potatoes are peeled, and macerated for a
bout thirty-six hours in water to which eight
percent of sulphuric acid has been added,
well washed with water, dried in blotting
paper,and then in hot sand for several days,
on plates of chalk or plaster of Paris, which
are changed daily, being compressed at the
same time, an exc2llent imitation of meer
schaum, answering well for the carver, or
any purpose not requiring a high tempera
ture, will le obtained. But this is not all.
for if after the potatoes have been thus treat- j
ed they are further boiled in a solution con
taming nineteen per cent, so la, a suostance 1
resemblinir tass' horn, and which may be !
used for knife-handles, &c, wiil be formed.
Nor is the potato the only vegetable capa
ble of such transformations. Turnips are e
qually susceptible of conversion into horn ;
and carrots, by a similar process, may even
be changed into a capital imitation of the
coral which is just now a fashionable orna
ment. It is to be hoped, however, that
these chemical discoveries will not induce
onr agricultural population to rush into
speculative cultivation with the hope of
turning their crops into gold and gems by
the new process of transmutation.
Bored. An old Scotch lady from the
country slept one night lately in the house
of a friend in town. Her bed happened to
be a plain, hard mattrass, so much recom
mended as more healthy to lie upon than a
bed of down. Next morning the old lady
was asked how she slept over night. "Not
very wee!," was the reply, "for my auld
banes are sair wi' that hard bed o' yours."
"Oh, but Janet, do you not know that all
the great physicians say that it is more
healthy to sleep ou beds as hard as a board ?' '
replied the host. "Ou ay," crid Janet, "ail'
I suppose that's what you bodies ca a Board
' Health." - .
. The following singular relationship exist
in family now living in Kentucky ; A
iatlier and sou married two sisters, and took
their mother to board with them. The
father and wife have a daughter : the son
and wife a son. These are the relation
ships: one great-grand-niother, two grand
fathers, one grand father, two fathers,
'hree mothers, three sons, three daughters,
lhrte aunts, two uncles, one nephew, one
three bisters, two brothers, two cous
ins, two husbands, two wives, two mothers
IB law. two sons-in-law.
It seems strange when one reflects that
f'fcriuaisia this country, and as it were a
Tartof us, to read that the people down
there are eating tomatoes, peas and straw
rri;s. Reconstruction should see to this.'

HON. GLENNI W. SCOFIELD,
OF PE.NJfSTLVANIA,
In the House of Representatives, on January 20,
18C.S, on the bill (II. K. No. 439.) additional and
. supplementary to an act entitted "An Act to
provide for the more efficient government of
the Reoel States," passed March 2, 1807
Mr. ScnoFiEi.r. Why is it, Mr. Speak
er, that all reconstruction legislation is re
garded by one side pf this House as uncon
stitutional, revolutionary, and despotic,
while the other side, more num;rous, not
less h .west, not less patriotic, not less learn
ed in the principles of the Constitution, not
less devoted to human liberty nor opposed to
every form ot human oppression, look upon
the same legislation as constitutional, appro
priate, and necessary ? I impugn th mo
tives of neither side, but I ask for a solution
of this disagreement. I suppose it is be
cause the two sides of the House look at the
subject from different stand-points. One
side Isolds that the confederate States are
now, and all the time have been, construct
ed and read for admission ; while the oth
er sido hold that the regular constitutional
State government were destroyed by the
war, and that new ones mut be originated
by somebody to take their plaje before they
can elect Senators and Representatives to
Congress. From these stand-points the
view of either .side is correct. It wassome
w hat so during the war. One party started
out with the theory that it was uiiconstitu-
l tioiuii to coerce a sovereign blate into sub
mission to the General Government, ami of
eoure from this stand-point ail war meas
ures were unr-oustisutiona! ; while the other
patty, holding that coercion was constitu
tional, approved all measures calculated to
accomplish the result.
The difference between us on the question
of reconstruction is maiuijr a question of
tact, it it Le true that the confederate
' States have now legal and constitutional
governments all reconstruction is, as is
claimed, unconstitutional, revolutiouary.and
despotic ; but if they have no such govern
ments it mitet be admitted thai reconstruc
tion of some kind is an absolute necessity.
If South Carolina, for instance, has now or
h had. since 1S61 a legal State govern
ment, I will thank some gentleman on the
other side to tell me what it is. Is it the
oid government that existed prior to the
war? I admit that this constitution is prin
ted in a book. and laid away in the libraries
of the country, but I deny that it haa auy
existence outside of books. If it has any
other existence, where is it? It has no Gov
errfr, no legislature, no judge. There is
not a single person within the limits of the
State who professes allegiance to it, and no
one inquires what it prohibits or what it
commands. It ia like" the uusepulchered
skull,
-.Sans teeth , sans cyes.sans taste. sans everything."
I know the gentleman from Indiana Mr.
Kt:rr claimed the other day that the State
government might be revived. Indeed I
think he said it had been revived. But that
would involve the exercise of all the power
that any bo !y claims in the legislation which
we are now enacting. To reconstruct and to
revive a government that is dead means the
same thing. Is it the confederate State
government that exists in South Carolina?
It did exist there, when Congress adjourn
ed in March, 1800 ; but when we assembled in
J)3cember, 18f5, it had disapeared. John
son atid his Secretary ot State had gone
down there and disposed of it. They had
scuttled the hull
nd sent the confederate
shin, with all its treason-ible machinery, to
the bottom, leaving to the country nothing
but the hateful memory of its crimes.
But Mr. Johnson and Mr. Seward have
set up some governments in the late confed
erate States, and it is said that Congress
should recognize them. Why? Because
they have been accepted by the people
there? No, sir; they were not submitted to
the people in any State except North Car
olina, and in that State a majority voted a
gainst it. And in the election of delegates
to the conventions only about one-third of
the white voters participated at all, and a
portion ot those gave their votes against the
whole scheme. Of course the blacks were
excluded altogether. Shall we accept them
because they are republican in form ? No.
sir. A large portion ot the people, in two
of the States, at least more than half, are
excluded lroui all participation in them.
Shall we accept tfcem because they secure
to those States only a fair proportion of
Federal representation? No, sir; the repre
sented people in South Carolina and Missis
sippi secure a little more than twice as many
votes in this House and in the Electoral
College as are given to the same number of
represented people in Pennsylvania or any
northern State. Are we bound to accept
them because they h-nl a lawful origin?
What article of the Constitution or what
law of Congress authorizes the President
and his Secretary to start in the business of
making State governments or to coerce and
cajole a handful of the people to cooperate
with them in such an undertaking ? Do you
not recollect. Mr. Speaker, that in the sum
mer of 18G5, while Mr. Johnson, and Sew
ard were still reconstructing, our political
opponents applied o their work the same
three ugly words that they now apply to
our plan "unconstitutional, revolutionary,
and despotic?" Before they discovered
how bad these governments would be, they
taught us the principles upon which they
ought to Le rejected. We were bound, then,
by no principle of law, equality,or justice to
accept these anti-republican productions of
the President, and Congress rejected them
by a majority of nearly three-fourths. The
question was submitted to the people at the
elections in the fall 18G6, and after four
months' debate they indorsed the action of
Congress by an emphatic vote. Inasmuch,
i,nn oa ilipsfl governments were illegal -in
their origin, tour opponents themselves be
ing judges ;) in as much as they were never
panctioned by any considerable portion ot
' the people, white or black, in those States;
inasmuch as they secure to a disloyal popu
lation nearly double as 'much p:iwer in the
Federal Government as the same amount of
loyal population in other St
and inasmuch asthoy were rejected by near
ly three fourths of Congress, and that action
indorsed by the people, I come to the con
clusion that they are not governments which
any man is bound by law cr ju.tica to res
pect. But the gentleman from New York Mr.
Brooks thinks the decision of the people in
1SGG is not conclusive. He infers from the
elections of 607 that public sentiment is
changing, and that in 1868 a President and
Congress will be chosen who.se political opiu
ions will concide with his own. He is kind
enough to inform us what will then be done
"The enactments of the last six years," Says
he, "shall be repealed." Humanity, justice,
and equaliry shall be dethroned, arid the old
slave power, unchristian, intolerant, insolent,
and cruel, shall reigu in their stead. Sup
pose your dreams were realized; suppose the
people in an evil hour had put you in pos
session ot all the departments of the Gov
ernment; suppose the gentlemen who dur
ing the last six years have wrought such
terrible ruin in th ? South arid brought such
deep sorrow to the Notrh and all the land
were to aid or ler-d your efforts ; suppose th
.servile code restored, fugitive slave iaw and
all; suppose the demolished slave prison ;
rebuilt, the rusty manacles reburiiisiied.and
the overseers engaged, how will the gentle
man secure his victims? liis .legislative
work will then be accomplished ; his servi
ces will no longer beueeded here. Imagine
the gentleman then leaving his place and
going home to ask his Christian constituent-;,
learned through his instructions in the mas
teries and measurement ot shins and heels,
to arm themselves with lassoes and hand
cuffs and follow hiin in one grand hunt for
emancipated bondmen. The gentleman and
his party, in great patience and meekness,
have long labored for the disloyal masters;
but when this heavy task ?iia!l be imposed
upon them it will be one hair too much even
for their uncomplaining backs. This utter
ance of unattainable hopes brought to the
gentleman's seat many admiring friends! I
could not hear the congratulations, but lean
well imagine they were much like FalstafTs
address to his prince : "Thou wilt have no
back seats for traitors and no free niggers
in America when thou art king ; wilt thou,
Hal?
Having shown thatthere are not now,and
have not been since trfe close of the war,any
legal constitutional governments in these
States, I proceed to inquire who should o
riginate.new ones. If I correctly understand
the gentleman on the other side they claim
that new governments ought to originate
with the people of the States. Very well,
sir; how long shall we wait for these people
to move? It is more than two years sinco
the war closed, and no unprompted move
ment in that" direction has been made by
them to this hour. Oh no; I mistako. They
did elect a convention in Louisiana, and it
will be recollected that there was great joy
among the ami-progressive and back-going
politicians when it was known that the del
egates were mobbei and murdered, the con
vention dispersed, and the popular move
ment crushed out. Suppose the people of
South Carolina, for instance, would under
take to construct a kovernment. The dis
loyal people might originate one, the blacks
another, and the loyal white men another.
Congress must determine, at last which is
the real government of the State, aud this
determination involves the exercise of the
same power necessary to the passage of our
reconstruction acts. But, as said before,
the people have not moved in this matter
at all. There is, therefore, no alternative.
Congress must call upon and authorize the
people to reconstruct their governments or
leave them either under military rule or reb
el9 anarchy forever. On the 2d of March last
Congress passed an act for this "purpose.'
And what was it? Simply this: it author
ized a major general in the Army to make
a list of all the legal voters in a particular
Slate, aud call upou them to assemble on a
day fixed to elect delegates ot their own free
choice to a convention which should frame
and submit to them a form of State govern
ment. That, sir, was our reconstruction,
and that was all of it. That is what is now
pronounced unconstitutional, revolutionary,
and despotic. I forgot, sir; that is not
quite all. It authorized the officer, in the
absence of governments, and iu ttye midst
of vindictive and lawless men to preserve
the peace until the new governments should
come in power. Our opponents have found
a few things to be mad at even in this sim
ple formula. They charge that we omitted
from the list of voters a large number of
persons, simply because they waged a long
and bloody war against! a Government not
only the best, but most lenient and munifi
cent in the World. I deny it. Not one man
was left off the list for this cause alone ; and
only a small number was left off for any
cause. Thvise who committed treason, and
in order to commit this crime first commit
ted perjury, were left off, and no others.
The number was comparatively small. The
number of white voters now registered un
der this law is ouly 70,000 less than all the
votes cast in these States in 1 SCO, and is
just about double the number of voters that
participated in the Johnson-Seward elec
tions of 18'"'5. When it is remembered that
large numbers of those who voted in these
States in 1S60 have disappeared in the war,
and thousands more have moved to north
ern and western States, it will appear that
the number' of perjured . traitors omitted
from the list is quite too small to justify
such deep grief among their northarn fi iends.
Again, it has been alleged that we impose
this plan upon the southern people against
their will. Not at all, sir. The law pro
vides that the electors may, on the same
day they vote for delegates, yote also for or j
against a convention. All who dislike tcis
plan can vote agaibst it. Then, sir, unless
it had a majority of all the voters not only
a majority of all the votes cast, but a major
ity of all the legal voters in the State, co in
ting those who from any cause omit to vote
against it the whole plan falls to the groud.
Again, when a constitution is framed it
must be submitted to the people, and if a
majority vote against it that is the end of
it- What despotism is there in that?
Cut you have put the names of colored
men upon your list of voters ; why is that ?
Mr. Speaker.there is a large number of white
voters in those States who are opposed to
the continuance of the Federal Union. They
have not ouly so said, but leagued them
selves together to destroy it. To be sure,
the armed power of the confederacy has been
overthrown, but its memory and purpose is
still enshrined in the hearts of its followers.
They put their money in thatcau.e and now
hold its bouds and notes. Their affections,
going out to their lallen kindred, are m it.
Ttieir honor is linked with it, and asjthey
crave a good name in the future they must
forever defend it. The confederacy is gone,
but the cause survives and comes back to
struggle through the ballot-box for a tri
umph not achieved in the held. They will
vore no pension to the crippled soldier nor
honors to the galiunt captain. The colored
people in the States, on the contrary, are
interested in the preservation of the Itepub
lic. They are grateful to it for liberty al
ready conferred, and they look to it for fu
ture protection. We allowed them to Vote
because we saw in their votes justice to the
soldier and safety to the Union. They are
not numerous enough to out vote the disu
nioiusts. to hi sure ; but they are numerous
enough to coumeract in st me decree their
wicked purpose. It so happened, in the
providence of God, that in seeking the Per
petuity and safety of the Republic andthe
liberties vouchsafed to us all under it we
could do .some little justice to a long wrong
ed but hard-working and meritorious class
of our fellow-beings, and approximate more
closely the great principle which under
lies our form of government, to wit, the
equality of the human race. We availed our
selves of this opprtunity more, I fear, from
necessity than from a sense of justice. This
is what is called "unconstitutional, revolu
tionary, and despotic."
A bill of a few lines, supplementary to
the legislation of March last, is now made
the occasion to renew this coarse and unde-
erved denunciation. What is the bill? "As
long ago 'as la.st June the President dicov
erfed tfiat the act of March was liable to be
misconstrued or differently construed in the
different districts of the South, aud that no
person was authorized to correct or unify
tnese various constructions. w e concur
with the President. We propose to clothe
an oihV-er of the Army, superior in rank to
arry now charged with the execution of these
laws, toupevvise the whole, to detail offi
cers and instruct them in their duties. It
is ia accordance with the President's sug
gestion. What possible objectiofi can there
be to that? Non, I suppose at least I
have heard none. But it is claimed that we
have made a mistake in selecting the officer
who is to perform these duties. We have
devolved them upon the General of the Ar
my; whereas, it is said, that the Commander-in-Chief
wouldJiavc been the fitter offi
cer. To a plain man it would seem as if the
eentlemen were trifling. The rules of the
Army authorize the captain to supetvisa his
company and give orders to his inferior offi
cers, the colonel his regiment, the briga
dier his brigade, but the General of the Ar
my commands the whole. We impose (du
ties and liabilities upon each grade of offi
cers, but nobody ever before supposed that
it violated the Constitution of the .United
States.
The gentleman from Connecticut Mr.
Hubbard says that the General of the Ar
my might order an inferior officer to one du
ty and the President order him to another
at the same time. Does uot that often oc
cur? Has it not always occurred? The infe
rior must obey the Commati ler-in-Chief,
but the Commander-in-Chief is answerable
to his constitutional judges if he gives an
order in violation of law. But there is an
other provision. It re declares that the
Johnson-Seward governments are void. I
have already shown that these governments
are void. Why should we not declare it b3'
act of Congress? These are the simple and
proper provisions which are so fiercely de
nounced as "unconstitutional, revolutiona
ry, and despotic." From the other side of
the House wo do uot hear even the gentlest
admonition to the men who tore down and
destroyed the old constitutional fabrics in
these States ; but every effort to rebuild
them and restore the States to their old pla
ces in the Union is followed here with this
unchanging cry : "Unconstitutional, revolu
tionary, and despotic !" and then, without
apparent shame, they charge us with inter
posing the obstacles to the readmission of
these States.
Hair Restorative peddlers - should avoid
windy days. A veteran in the business, who
always pointed to his magnificent hair as a
proof of the virtues of his "Restorative,"
got his hat blown off a day or two ago, and
with it w.ent a wig, comprising the "magnifi
cent" hair that he had so often extoiied,
leaving his pate as bare and shiny as a warming-pan.
He didn't stop to close any more
bargains in that locality.
"Well, Tom," said a blacksmith to his
apprentice, "you have been with me now
three months, and have seen all the differ
ent points in our trade. T wish to give you
choice of work for a while." "Thank'ee,
sir." "Well, now, whatpart of the business
do you like the best?" "Shuttin' up shop
and goin' to dinner, sir."
A Postmaster died in Maine the other
day, who was appointed by Andrew Jack
son, and had been in the office ever siuce.
