The Segro the Democracy.
The negro is a man of consequence, says
the HarriMburg Telegrapli. Upon him, ap
parently, haugs the life of the Democratic
party. Without LIui it would have no breath
li-ft in it it wou!J die. As long as the
"gentleman from Africa" can be kept prom
inently before the public in political contests,
the Democracy may manage to eke out a mis
erable existeni.' It has been approaching
the last stage of consumption iorsame time,
and as soon as the loth amendment bhall have
been adopted by three-fourths of the Slates,
and the negro's political status fixed and de
termined beyond the possibility of change,
at least for years to come, we shall expect to
see the old, and now tottering party, that
has so long kept up its vitality by feeding,
as it were, upon the carcass of their sable
brethren, gooff "to the bad" at a galloping
pace.
There is much truth in the remarks of
Senator Morton, of Indiana, made during
the discussion of the suffrage amendment.
"The Democratic party," he said, '"for
more than twenty years has lived upon the
negro question. It has been its daily food,
and if the negro question shall now be with
drawn from politics the Democracy, as a
party, will literally starve to death. We
need not, therefore.be surprised to find them
resisting this constitutional amendment,
which will forever withdraw the subject from
politic, and will strike down that prejudice
to which the Democratic party has appealed
for years. The Democratic party has not for
years appealed to the reasons of the people,
but it ha3 appealed to their prejudices upon
the subject of race. It has sought, and to
some extent obtained, power upon that sub
ject. It is still following the fortunes of
slavery after slavery is dead."
Tweuty-four States, including Indiana,
have already ratified the amendment to
which Mr. Morton referred. Twenty-eight
is the number required to make it a part of
the fundamental law of the land. Vermont
and Rhode Island are sure to give their as
sent when their Legislatures meet next fall.
The act for the reconstruction of Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas, requires the. ratifica
tion of the amendment as preliminary to
their full restoration into the Union ; and
Georgia, when purged of its disqualified
legislative members, will be added to the
lust of ratifying States making thirty, or
two more than enough fi r the adoption of
the amendment. Thus it is obvious if Mr.
Morton's prognostications are correct, that
the days of the Democracy, as a party are
numbered that they literally starved to
death on the negro. Poor fellows ! we really
pity them, and hope that they may have the
lenefit of a decent Interment nest fall.

Don't Like Hancock. The Democrat
ic uiovemeut in favor of Gen. Hancock for
Governor is meeting with bitter opposition
from the friends of Judge Packer, Gu. Cass,
and others. They say that if Hancock ac
cepts a Gubernatorial nomination, he will
do it solely as a stepping stone to Presiden
tial honors, in case he succeeds in an elee
tion. . That undoubtedly would be so if
Hancock should he elected bat there is no
danger of such a contingency. ' If the Dem
ocrats couldn't carry the State three years
ago, and last year, with the aid of forged
naturalization papers and the monstrous
frauds in Philadelphia, Luzerne and other
counties, they will not be able to succeed
next Pill, uiljr th nur Ujg'utry Liw no
matter who is the candidate.
Chase. Chief Justice Chase is still suf
fering with the disease of Presidency on the
brain. Die is playing the game of Johnson,
with more adroitness to be 6ure, but not
likely to prove more effective. Poor Chase
ought to know that his grand opportunity
for a Presidential nomination passed away
forever with the assembling of the last
Democtatic National Convention. Ho will
nevermore be a prominent candidate with
either of the two great parties. He has for
feited the respect and confidence of the Re
publican party, and as for the Democrats,
they have too many candidates of their own
without taking up with our cast off politi
cians. A SreciE Tating State. The State of
Missouri will hereafter pay the interest of
its State debt in gold coin, and accepts the
obligation to pay the principal also, when
due, in real money. The State Treasurer
asserts that, after the payment of all the in
tirest accruing this year.and payable in Juty
and January next, there will remain one
million of dollars in the Treasury. The new
Constitution of the State compels the as
sessment'of a tax or two and a half mills on
the dollar for the public debt. This tax will
yield, for 1SG9, nearly two millions of dol
lars -enough, after paying all the interest in
coin, to add half a million to the, Siuking
Fund.

Judge Sharswood The Registry Law."
, Do men ever reflect upon the singular
fact that every attempt to freveut fraudu
lent voting comes from a Republican Legis
lature, and must inevitably encounter oppo
sition from the Democratic party ? Why is
this? That the worst class of our popula
tion votes with the Democrats we all know,
but it is possible that 'here are not enough
honest men in that party to break the mo
notonous continuity of opposition to such
benib'cent legislation? Or does member
ship in the Democratic praty, and association
with its members, necessarily deaden or de
stroy all sense of shame, and all feeling of
honesty? It f-ecais almost impossible that
such can be the effect of belonging to that
party : and yet it is impossible to account
for their wild fury over every attempt to se
cure a fair election on any other theory.
In 1SC7 the Republican Legislature pass
ed a bill to prevent frauds on the ballot box.
The Democracy at ones made up a case to
contest its "constitutionality," and a deci
sion annuling the law was pronounced by a
Supreme bench composed, in part, of men
of such social respectability as JudgeThomp
son and Judge Sharswood. That two such
men could be brought to hold an attempt
to put down fraud fraud of the most far
reaching and dangerous character uncon
stitutional, must bear out the hypothesis
that villiany and "Democracy" have become
synonomous terms. At the scssiou of the
last Legislature another law was passed
with the same object ; and it was carefully
framed to meet the objections of the Demo
cratic Supreme Judges urged against its
predecessor, but it cannot escape their par
tisan venom. , Another case has been made
up involving the constitutionality of the law
of last winter,-and it has been on trial be
fore Judge Sharswood, sitting in XiniPrius.
The remembrance of this same Judge in the
same court Taanufacturing a thousand voters
a day by fraud, must clearly foreshadow the
fate of the registry bill now before him.
If any doubts existed as to what Shars
wood would do they are quickly dissipated
on reading the report of this proceeding
had before his Honor. By an understand
ing of counsel the case was not to be brought
up until the court sat in Lane, so that the
case might receive the consideration due to
its iniportarce from a full beuch. In ac
cordance with this tacit understanding the
counsel for the defense were unprepared,
and declined to participate formally in the
trial we beg pardon the proceedings. At
one stage of these, the arrangement was al
luded to, and the Judge given politely to
understand that the preparations for trial
were incomplete, and the hint was thrown
out with a professional delicacy that the
present farce was incapable of anything
more serious than forestalling the judge
ment of the court, aud prejudicing the case
from a professional standpoint.
These mild . and delicate reminders of
counsel seem to have disturbed the judge in
an extraordinary degree, so much so indeed,
that he forgot hie politeness as well as his
place. He retorted insolently that he
would sit, and he would hear the cause : he
would do his "duty," and he would "ac
cept thd responsibility," and more swagger
of same kind. From aJI which we can easi
ly gather that Judge Sharswood has per
mitted this case to be stolen before a single
judge, himself, the worst man in our knowl
edge to do justice where politics arc involv
ed, out of its regular course, against the ar
rangement of counsel, and before a tribunal
bent on a settled course and a partisan de
cision before tLa trial commenced.
Let Mr. Justice Sharswood go on. The'
full bench will soon convene ; and the high
tone of that dangerous old traitor to his
country may yet provoke the power of the
Legislature to impeach him, and bring on
his head the merited disgrace of standing
to answer as a culprit lor some of the out
rages he has been guiltyof on the hoolsack.
The Conscience Fcnd. Despite the
popular belief to the contrary, such things
as consciences have abiding places in not a
few American hearts. Since IS61, the Uni
ted Stages Treasury has received in moneys
returned, through the agency of troubled
consciences the sum of $80,238,90, and the
amount is increasing at the rate of $3,000
per month. These statistics develope the
fact that many men are dishonest when a
chance to be so is put in their way, but are
not so by nature. After the theft has been
committed, or the wrong perpetrated, they
have that within them which ceases not to
cry out till restitution be made, and the
mind left easy.
Georgia. The Georgia Supreme Court
has at last deeid d that negroes are eligible
to office in that State. If this decisionhad
been rendered a year ago, it would have been
much better for Georgia. As the case stands
she will be required to commence the pro
cess of reconstruction over again,and to take
a little more trouble than before of comply
ing with the terms of the law to which she
is amenable.

Importance of a Trade.
The first chapter of Horace Greeley's
work on political economy is taken up with
enforcing the doctrine that labor is neces
sary to the comfort and happiness of man
kind. Ic would hardly seem incumbent on
so able a writer to spend so much time on so
clear a point. And yet the individual man
is very apt to undervalue it, and, in order to
avoid work, to work ten times as hard after
all. Thus we have men living by their wits,
and making a miserable living into the bar
gain; others habitually waiting for some
thing to turn up, while their condition is
steadily taking a downward turn ; and oth
ers, still vindicating the soundness of the
old maxim about those who are "jacks at
all trades and good for nothing." The worst
of it is, however, that a thriftless course in
these sharp, competing times, is a vicious
course. We are reminded of this serious
fact by a statement lately made in the re
port of the Prison Association that, out of
13,4 prisoners in the penitentiaries - of
thirty States, iu 1SG7, no less than 77 per
cent. more than three-fourths had not
learned a trade.
Such a fact speaks for itself. If idleness
is bad company, if intemperance tells di
rectly upon the criminal lists of the coun
try, then the want of steady employment
aud of regular business habits, such as are
given by any good trade, are equally mark
ed in their vicious tendency both upon indi
vidual and society at large. It is not ne
cessary that the old custom of prolonged
apprenticeship should be revived, although
it was a thousand times better than the hel
ter-skelter manner in which boys are now
apt to come up. ,But the sentiment should
be impressed upon the community that ev
cry youth, of wealthy, as well as of poor
parentage, should be trained for some regu
lar business in life. Even if he leavcj it
when he comes to manhood, the sound hub
its of steady industry aud the physical train
ing he has acquired would always be useful;
aud then he will have the security of some
thing reliable that he can fail buck upon in
seasons of adversity, from which no calling
or condition in life can ever be exempt. Uy
trade we do not mean the few mechanical
employments which used to be recognized
as such, but any of the immense number of
legitimate pursuits into which modern soeie
ty is divided. The historian Prescott, when
he deliberately set 'apart the years for pre
paring himself to write history, was as tru
ii-., .
ly learning a traue as any young man in a
carpenter's shop. If more could be found
to emulate his thoroughness, the world
would be the better for it.
i he Irade OF the Lakes. By statis
tics given in the Detroit 7W.it appears that
duting the year 1863 there were 131 steam
ers, 172 propellers, 267 tugs, 1,642 sailing
vessels, and fifty-seven barges plying on the
lakes. The aggregate tonago was 630,394
and the total value was 23,053,000. Of
this fleet rather more than a fifth in number
of sail and in value,' but less than a fifth of
the tonnage was Canadian. In comparison
with similar statistics ,'for 1S56, it appears
that the trade has just about doubled in
amount and value in the twelve years. It
is not diCcult to see, says the New York
Bulletin, that it is capable of still further
and almost indefinite expansion. The agri
cultural and mineral resources of the West,
though already pouring out their wealth
with such profusion, are yet comparatively
undeveloped. -Expeditious water transpor
tation will always be cheaper than land
freights. Canals, cut-offs, and other im
provements will soon lessen the distance
and the time required for bringing the
products of the West to market, and it is
not too much ,to expect that while the rail
ways will have all the business they tan do,
many times, the present lake tonnage will
still find coustant and profitable employ
mcnt in the same occupation.
How it is to be Done. A plan of
meeting the Indian difficulties is said to have
been determined upon by the Indian Bu
reau. All of the tribes who will settle
upon reservations will be aided and nrotpr-t
ed, while those who will not will be left to
military supervision. A majority of the
tribes cave already agreed to accept a set
tled manner of lifo. When they have been
located and supplied they will be held re
sponsible for murders, thefts and offenses in
a collective capacity, as were the old Saxon
hundreds. Their sense of responsibility
will be quickened by withholding their an
nuities in cases of wrong doing until restitu
tion is made and the offenders arc niinieiir.fi
In Kansas all Indians will be classed &a hos
tile who do not move on to the reservations.
If this system can be carried out it will
put an end to the Indian trnuhlra hv im
proving the condition of the Indians. Their
protection ironi the white vagabonds is one
of the conditions of the system, and the vil
liny of these fellows has done more to cause
trouble than all others combined. Tho be
ginningsthat have been made in this policy
nave operated so happily that we are
hopeful of all that remains.

they are enjoined to practice all those acts
of charity aud benevolence for which the
Masons are so justly celebrated.

Serranoi Eegent of Spain.
. jtlarshal Francisco Serrano, Duke de la
4"orre, recently chosen Regent of Spain by
tn Cortes, took the oath of office yesterday
the 18th. The Marshal is well advanced in
years, having been born about the beginning
of the present century." He acquired a var
ied military experience iu the war of independence-,
and gradually rose to the highest
rank in the arrajT of Spain. In 1S43, when
he assisted in bringing about the fall of Es
partero, he first took a prominent part in
the political troubles of the country. After
the restoration of the Queen mother to the
throne, he entered into a coalition with oth
ers to oven hrow Olozaga. Soon after the
marriage of Queen Isabella, in 1846, he
acquired an influence over the royal mind
which occasioned differences between the
King consort and herself, and caused some
scandal. The Ministry of the Duke de So
totuayer, which attempted to destroy his in
fluence, was overthrown by him, while that
of M. de Salamanca, which he supported,
yielded to the storm of public indignation
which assailed it. After this Serrano turn
ed liberal, and just before the accession to
power of NarvaeS, accepted the Captaincy
General of Orariada. Having been impli
cated in a rising at Saragossa in 1 854, he
was exiled, but returned during the revolu
tion of July in that year, and became an
active supportes of the O'Donnell and Es
puero Cabinet. In the rapture which fol
lowed between those two, he sided with the
former, and having been nominated Captain-General
of New Castile an appoint
ment which placed Madrid in hia power
in the coup d'etat of 1855 he played into
O'DonucIl's hands, and in the same year was
created Duke de la Torre. In 1857 he was
sent as Ambassador to the Court of France.
Iu 1859 he was appointed Director and Col
onel General of artillery,. and in June, 1SC5,
Captain General of Madrid. The promi
nent part which he has recently taken as
one of the leading spirits of the revolution
which expelled Isabella II. from tho throne
is still fresh in the minds, of the people.
The Caspian sea. is dotted with islands
from which enormous quantities of naptha

to subterranean disturbances, the naptha
wells on these islands overflowed, and the
inflammable substance spread over the entire
surface of the lake. It accidentally took
fire, and for forty-tight hours burned furi
ously over a surface of many thousands
of square miles. The inhabitants of the
surrounding country imagined that the end
of the world was at hand. The fish iu the
lake were entirely destroyed, and for miles
around vegetation was parched, and the
country made like a d jsert. The same phe
nomena is recorded by Herodotus.

The population of Canada appears to be
decreasing. In the county of York, in

States, because they can do better here than
under tho Colonial Government. The bef-t
remedy for the evil is to transfer the whole
country to the United States, and then its
inhabitants would not need to abandon
their homes in order to enjoy the shelter of
the Stars and Stripes.

Dr. Clark treats no case utiles? conscicii'ioutlr
of the opinion that it can be cured or permanent
ly benefitted.
Dr. Clark treats no cafe unless he cm devrib.
tbe disease and its fympkims Ki.kttit interroga

Dr. Clark will treat no Chronic I'iee vu'ittt
he can explain its character to tlie complete aud
perfect satisfaction of the patient e.un.ineJ. Au

desires no pationts to take tre.Huieut trom tim,
unlets they are fully nd completely utisEal
with his consultations and cxauiimlioLS, which
are made free from charge.
Dr. Clarai bases his practice upon tho incontro
vertible law of Nature. First Tbst evi-r)- caoso
has an effect. Second That diseases are cause,
producing effects or symptoms, and tLat erery
disease has its own peculiar effects or jjoiploni,
which if properly and thoroughly un'le'rsloud by
the examining Physician, can be clearly pointed
out to the complete satisfaction of tbe patient .x
amined. Dr. Clark's method of diagnosing or npl.iirir.f
diseases and their symptoms is only the proceu
of reasoning from cause to effect and hn brei
acquired by thorough literary and uieJical sal
ture. and also by an almost unlimited practii-en
every form of disease to which the human syjfca
is liable.
By this process of reasoning the Dr. la
quired a reputation and success in IreatiDdis
