tudltorlal Correspondence.
Washington, June 14tf, 18CG.
One of the most useful, independent,
ami able representatives in Congress from
our State is the Hon. William D. Kelley,
of the Fourth District. Ho was born in
Philadelphia 1814, and obtained in the
schools of his own native city a fair
English education. Do1 commenced life
as a reader in a printing office ; spent
seven years as an apprentice in a jewelry
establishment ; removed to TJostor. and
followed his trade there for four years,
devoting pome attention to literary mat
ters; returned to Philadelphia, studied
law, and was admitted to the bar in 1841,
and held the office for some years of Judge
of the Court of Common Pleas in Phila
delphia". He was elected a representative,
from Pennsylvania, to the Thirty-Seventh
Congress, serving ns a member of the
Committees on Indian Affairs, and Expen
ditures, and on Publio Buildings. He
was re-elected to the Thirty-Eighth and
Thirty-Ninth Congresses, and has 8er7ed
his constituents and his country with
eminent distinction and fidelity. Tho
Judge grew up in the Democratic school
cf politics!, and like many others, aban
doned that fold iu time to pave his credit,
and to be of use to the country. Democ
racy with him meant something. It meant
liberty and equal rights for all. Not for
the few, but for all for the black man as
for the white man. "When he saw that
the Democratic party, as organized and
rnder its then leadership, had resolved to
hold three millions of men, women, and
children in the most vile and abject
slavery that "was ever tolerated upon the
face of the earth, he left the parly, with
as much haste as righteous Lot left
Sodom ; since which time he has devoted
his time, his talents, and all his energies
to tho cause of human liberty. Judge
Kelley is not a man of preteutious show
and unmeaning professions. He does not
employ words and phrases only which are
eignificant of freedom, but he vicans all
he says, and his heart and all :be earnest
ness of his nature are given to the cause
he espouses. With hina patriotism is not
a mere sentiment, but a high and holy,
religious conviction, permeating the mind,
heart, and bringing all his powers, purpo
ees, and activities into harmonious action
in behalf of country and of mankind. As
a clear headed, sagacious, far seeing, hard
working man and representative, Judge
Kelley has but few equals and no superiors.
He is almost always in his seat, and both
in Congress and out of it, labors untir
ingly for his country and his constituents.
He watches every question, and has a clear
understanding of every measure that comes
beforo Congress. Nothing escapes his
criticism that needs to be ventilated, and
every proposition of doubtful merit or no
merit at all is sure to meet his censure
and reprobation. He is of ten seen quietly
in hia scat writing, and apparently taking
no notice of what is going on about him,
but when the proper moment comes, he
will spring to his feet and show by a few
well-timed remarks that he thoroughly
understands the subject under discussion.
As a speaker, indeed aa an orator, ho sur
passes almost all his peers in tho House.
For rhetorical beauty, clearness of enun
ciation, exact Argument, and concise
reasoning, he stands pre-eminent, but his
fhining qualities are his devotion to prin
ciple, his luvo of liberty, bis hatred of all
cppiession and wrong, and his power and
fearlesscss in defending what he believes
to bo light
The Johnstown Tribune puts itself
down in last week's issue as unworthy of
being answered. It makes an attack, and
then feeras surprised that anybody should

the Tribune greater than the Trilim

supposing itself unworthy of an answer.

Reconstruction Report.
We -present to our readers this week all
tne cnier points of the report of the
Reconstruction Committee aopoiuted un
der the concurrent resolution of Dec. 15th,
18G5. Although nominally a mere report
to Congress of a committee appointed by
it, the report is in fact an unanswerable
defense of the policy of Congress as against
the policy of the President. The resolu
n n j . ...
nuua uuuer wnica ine committee was
appointed directed them to inquire into
the condition of the Confederate State?,
and to report whether they or any of
tnem were entitled to be represented in
either Hotwe of Congress. WTe think the
pith of the report will be found iu the
following synopsis.
AS TO THEIR CONDITION.
1st. They were in a state of utter ex
naustion, and ot complete nnarrW Tn
tho words of President Johnson, -they
were deprived of all civil government and
must organize anew. Their State institu
tions were prostrated, laid out on the
ground, and they must be taken up and
adapted to the progress of events."
2d. The President, as Chief Magistrate,
had power only to execute the laws of the
land, and therefore had no authority over
tuujcu ui eurgaoization. As Commander-in-chief,
his duty was to restore
order, to preserve property and to protect
iuc Feupie irom violence, until lawful
provision be made for their
lie might, as President, assemble Congress
auu Buomu tne wno:e matter to the law
making power, or he might continue mili
tary supervision and control until the
regular meeting of CoDgress.
3d. The appointment of provisional
governors was bv virtue of milifnrv
thonty, and the governors so appointed
had no authority save such as inhered in
their persons under their commissions.
4th. The President in two messages
to Congress urged the speedy restoratfon
oi the rebel States, but Congress did not
deem it prudent to act solely on the opin
ion of the President, in a matter of such
grave importance, and therefore proceeded
to obtain the information necessary to
intelligent action. A call was hence made
for the information in possession of the
President, but it was not commucioated
till the committee had been in session
some months, and after being communi
cated, it was found incomplete and unsat
isfactory. 5th. But one course therefore remained :
to investigate carefullv and tlinroncrTil v
the state of feeling and opinion existing
among:
th
e reonle of th
" A. M. - w V. -J . V
aaucrmin now lar tfceir pretended loyalty
could be relied upon, and thence to-iufer
whether il would be safe to admit them
at once to a full participation in the Gov
ernment they had fought for four years to
destroy. It was an equally important
inquiry whether their restoration to their
former relations with the United States
should only be granted upon certain con
ditions and guarantees, which would
effectually secure the nation against a
recurrence of evi.'s so disastrous as those
from which it had escaped at so enormous
a sacrifice.
AS TO THEIR. ADMISSION.
Cth. Claim for the immediate admission
of Senators and Representatives from the
lately rebellious States which, stated in
few words, amounts to this : That, inas
much as the late insurgent States had no
legal right to separate themselves from
the Union, they still retain their positions
as States, and CDnsequently the people
thereof have a right to immediate repre
sentation in Congress, without the impo
sition of any conditions whatever; and
turther, that until such admission, Con
gress has no right to tax them for the
support of the Government. It has
even been contended that, until Fuch
admission, aU legislation affecting their
interests is, if not unconstitutional, at least
unjustifiable and oppressive.-
7th. It is held by the committee that
all these propositions are untenable, and if
admitted would tend to the destruction of
the government. That one of the consc
qunces of thef, rebel lion is that within the
limits of humanity the conquered rebels
were at tho mercy of the conquerors.
That a Government, outraged as was our,
had a most perJeci right to exact indem
nity for the injuries done, and security
against the recurrence of such outrages
in the future, would seem too clear for
dispute. What the nature of that security
should bo, what proof should be required
of a return to allegiance, what time should
elapse before a people thus demoralized
should be restored in full to the enjoyment
of political rights and privileges, are
questions for the law-making power to
decide, and that decision must depend on
grave considerations of the publio safety
and the general welfare.
8th. To hold that as soon as Govern
ment is restored to its full authority, it
can be allowed no tim2 to eecure; itself
against similar wrongs in the future, or
else omit the ordinary exercise of its
constitutional power to compel equal con
tribution from all toward tho expenses of
the Government, would be unreasonable"
in itself and unjust to the nation. It is
sufficient to reply that the Iosa of repre
sentation by tha people of the insurrec
tionary States waa their own voluntary
choice. They might abandon their priv
ileges, but they cannot escape their obli
gations. And 6urely they have no right
to complain, ifc beforo resuming their
privileges, and while the people of the
United States are Tevising means, for the
public 6afety, rendered necessary by the
act of those who thus disfranchised them
selves, they are compelled to contribute
their just proportion of the general bur
den of taxation incurred by their wicked
ness and folly. Equally absurd is the
pretence that the legislative authority of
the nation must be inoperative, bo far as
they are concerned, while they, by their
own act, nave lost me rigtit to take part
in ic ouoa a proposition carries its own
rciutation on its race.
9th. That the States latelv in rebellion

communities, without civil governments
ana without constitutions or other forms
by virtoo of which political relations
could legally existbetween them and the
Federal Government. That OonffrWn5m-
not be expected to recognize as valid the el
ection or representatives irom disorganized
communities which, from the very nature
of the case, were unable to present their
claims to representation under tho30 es
tablished and recozuized rules, tho nWr
vance of which has been hitherto rennirprl
That Congress would not be justified in
admitting such communities to a partici
pation in the government of the ennnfrv
without first providing such constitutional
or otner guarantees as will aid to secure
tne civil rights ot all citizens of the Re
public, a just equality of representation,
protection against claims fouaded - in
rebellion and crime, a temporary restric
tion of the risht of suffrage to those who
have not actively participated in the effort
to destroy tho Union and overthrow the
Government, and the exclusion from posi-
tirms ot public trust ot at least a portion
of those whose crimes have Droved thfm
to be enemies to the Union and unworthy
ot public conhdence. lhe seats of the
Senators and Representatives of the sn
called Confederate States became vacant
in 18G1, durinir tho second session of thn
Thirty-Sixth Congress, by the voluntary
withdrawal ot therr incumbents with the
sanction and by tho direction of tho
Legislatures or conventions of their rn.
spective States. This was done as a host!!
act against tho Constitution and Govern-
menc oi the united btates, with a declared
intent to overthrow the same by formic
a soutnern coniederatiou.
10th. This act of declared hostility was
speedily followed by an organization of the
samo States into a Confederaev. which
levied and waged war by sea and land

burned their towns and cities, robbed
their citizens, destroyed mora than 350,
000 loyal soldiers, and imposed an in
creased national, burden of not less than
4,500,000 dollars, of which seven or
eight hundred millions have already been
met ana paid, irom the time theso con
federated States thus withdrew from their
representation in Congress and levied war
ajrainst the United States, the
of their people became and were insur-
A 1.. . O
gents, rebels, traitors, and all ot them as
sumed and occupied the political, leal
and practical relation of enemies of tho
United States. This position is publish
ed if acts of Congress and judicial decis
ions, and is recognized repeatedly by the
President in public proclamations, docu
ments and speeches. The States thus
confederated prosecuted their war against
the United States to final arbitrament, and
did not cease until all their armies were
captured, their military power destroyed,
their civil officers, State and Confederate,
taken prisoners or put to flight, everv ves
tige ot State and Confederate government
obliterated, their territory ovcrruu and
occupied by the federal armies, and their
people reduced to the condition of ene
mies conquered in war. entitlpd nnlv Vv
public law to such iight?, privileges and
conditions as might bo vouchsafed by the
conquerors.
Thi3 position is al.lC established hv'iti-
dicial decisions, and is recognized by the
President in public proclamations, docu
ments, and speeches. Having voluntari
ly deprived themselves of renresenhition
in Congress for the criminal purpose of
destroying the Federal Union, and having
reduced themselves, by the act of levying
war, 10 ine condition ot public enemies,
they have no right to complain of tempo
rary exclusion from Cougrass ; but, on the
contrary, bavins voluntarily rrnntir.epri
their right to representation, and disqual
ified themselves by crime from participa
ting in the Government, the burden now
rests upon them, before claiming to here,
instated in their former condition, to show
that they are qualified to resume Federal
relations. In order to do this thev must
prove that they have established, with th
consent ot the people, republican forms of
government, iu harmony with the Consti
tution and laws' of the United States,;
that aU hostile purposes have ceased, and
should give adequate guarantees again"?t
future treason and rebellion guarantees
which wil! prove satisiactory to the Gov
ernment against which they rebelled, and

Dy tne people or the United States, acting
through all the co-ordinate hrannlipa nf tha
a - v u 'kwwavM'w
Government, and not by the Executive
jjepartment alone, ine powers of Con-
grti.'1 are not bo vested in tne President
that he v?n. fix and regulate the termi of
settlement, anu confer congressional rep
resentation upon cindered rebels and
traitors. Nor can he, in SLPJ way, qualify
thrt en;TriiAa nf thn ftnrprnmoni1: to exer
cise its law-making power. The authority I
'1. m '
to restore rebels to political power in the
Federal Government can be exercised only
with the concurrence of all the depart
ments iq which political power is vested,
and hence the several proclamations of tha
President to the people of the Confederate
States cannot be considered a.sr extending
beyond, the purposes declared, and can
only be regarded as provisional permis
sion by the commauder-in-chief of the
army to do certain acts, tho validity
whereof is to be determined by the con
stitutional government, and not solely by
the executive power. The question be
fore Congress is, then, whether conquered
enemies have the right and shall be per
mitted, at their own pleasure aud on their
own terms, to participate in making laws
for their conquerors ; whether conquered
reoeis may change their theatre of opera
tions from the battle-field, where thev
were defeated and overthrown, to the
halls of Congress, and, through their
Itepresentatives, seize upon the Govern
ment which they fought to destroy;
whether the national treasury, the army
of the nation, its navy, its forts and arsen
als, its whole civil administration, its cred
it, its pensioners, the widows and or
phans of those who perished in the war,
the public honor, peace and safety, shall
all bo turned over to its recent enemies,
without delay and without imposing such
conditions as, in the opinion of Congress,
the security of the country and its insti
tutions may demand. The history of
mankind exhibits no other example of
such madness and tolly. The instinct of
self-preservation protests against it. The
surrender by Grant to Lee, and by Sher
man to Johuston, would have been disas
ters o less magnitude ; tor new armies
could have been raised, new battles
fought, and the Government saved. The
anti-coercive policy which under pretext
of averting bloodshed, allowed the rebel
lion to take form and gather force, would
bo surpassed in infamy by the matchless
wickedness that would now surrender the
halls of Congress to those so recently in
rebellion, until proper precautions shall
have been taken to secure the national
safety. It has been shown in this report,
and in the evidence submitted no proof
has been afforded to Congress of a con
stituency in any ofthe so-called Confed
erate States,- unless we except the State
of Tennessee, qualified to elect Senators
and Representatives in Congress. No
State constitution, or amendment to a
State constitutioo, has had the sanction
of the people. All the so-called legisla
tion of State conventions and Legislatures
has been had under military dictation.
If the President may at his will and under
his own authority, . whether as military
commander or chief Executive, qualify
persons to appoint Senators and elect
Representatives and empower others to
appoint and elect them, he thereby
practically controls tha organization of
the legislative department. Tho consti
tutional form of Government is thereby
practically destroyed and its powers
absorbed in the Executive. And while
your committee do not for a moment
impute to the President any such design,
but cheerfully concede to him the most
patriotic motives, they cannot but look
with alarm upon a precedent so fraught
with danger to the Republic. The
necessity of providing adequnte safeguards
for the future before restorinjr the insur
rectionary States to a participation in the
direction of public affairs is apparent
lrom the bitter hostility to the Govern -ment
and people of the United States, vet
existing throughout the conquered territo
ry, as proved incontrstably by the
testimony of many witnesses and by
indisputable facts. The conclusion of
your committee, therefore, is that the so-
ea.Ied Confederate States are not at
present entitled to representation in the
Congress of the United State ; that before
allowing tuch representation, adequate
security tor tufure peace and satety f ho d
be required ; that this can only be found
in such changes of the organic law as
shall determine the civil rights and
privileges of all citizens, in al' parts of
the ItcpuLhc ; shall place representation
on an equitable basis ; shall fix a stigma
upon treason, and protect the loyal people
against future chiim for the expenses incurred
in support of rebellion and tor manurnitted
slaves, together with an express grant of
power in Congress to enforce those provis
ions, lo thn end they offer a joiDt resolu
tion for amending the Constitution of the
United States, and the two several bills de
signed to carry it into effect, before referred
to.
The Republican ZVomluatlon
for Congress.
Tho action of the Republican party of
Cambria county in rejecting Mr. Barker
for re-nomination, destroys tho claim
which that county had for the succession,
and places all the counties on an equal
tooting. Cambria, IIair, Huntingdon and
Mifflin compose tho District. Cambria
having tho present member, has no claim
whatever to the next, since the refuses
to put Mr. Parker forward for re-nomination.,
lilair i)unty having had the nom
inee for three successive terms preceding
the last viz., in '53, 'CO, and 'G2 will
certainly have to stand back for the pres
ent. Huntingdon county has not had the
nomination since 1852 sixteen years ao
-when Dr. M Culloch was nominated
and elected, on the Whig ticket. Mifflin
has not had the nomination for many years,
and has strong claims.
From these facts, it is plain that the
nomination clearly belongs to Huntingdon
or Mifflin, and if these two counties are
allowed to settle the question between
themselves, we have no doubt the strong
Republican majority given in Huntingdou
county would be a sufficient argument to
induce Mifflin to yield her claim for the
present. It is Huntingdon county, after
all, that must be depended on to elect the
candidate, and with such claims as she
has for the nomination, we think it will
be rather unkind, to say the least for the
Other counties to refuse to concede it to
her. jShirlcyslurg, Jlunl. co., Herald.

We are assisted in forming a tolerable
coujecture as to the aspects and probable
results ot the German and Italian imhr' tji

of our eastern exchanges, and the positive
statements, or significant speculation?, of
German, Italian, French and English
journals. We are enabled from these
sources to form an idea of the feeliDgs
and opinions entertained amongst the
parties most.deeply interested in the is
sues of war'oV peace. We observe Crst,
that in no quarter is any hope confidently
expressed that the proposed Conference
to which the hostile Powers have agreed,
will avert war. The remark is frequently
made that there was a Congress iu Lon
don duriug the Dauish war, a Congress
bclore the Italian war, and an effort by
diplomacy to prevent the Crimean war,
and that they proved abortive. The pro
posed Congress can only advise. It has

iSiletia, Pruia would refuse.
It does not seem untimely, therefore,
that she is putting Tyrule3e riflemen in
Italy to meet Garibaldi's volunteers, send
ing old Henedek to watch Hungary, and
marching troops to defend Saxony. With
an army that, including the reserves, fig
ures up the enoruious force of eight hun
dred thousand men, arid with the minor
German States to support her, Austria
feels that it is better to fight than to take
a low seat in the German synagogue, and
purchase peace at the expense of political
influence and position. It is worthy of
remark, too, that there are co feuch sisns
ot disaffection iu Austria as are manifest
in Prussia. The people are really rallying
to the support ot the government with
tremendous enthusiasm. In Prussia the
people seem to be almost on the point of
revolt, and there is a general unwilling
ness to serve iu the armv, la Frankfort
a meeting of two hundred German depu-
lies passea resolutions condemning the
war. 13ut the daring Bismarck presses
on, notwithstanding popular discoutents.
The whole of the Prussian forces are be
ing organized into four armies, to be com
manded severally by tho Crown Prince of
i'russia, I'rince Irederick Charle?, tho
Duke of Coburg, and the Grand Duke of
Alccfrienburgh. It is expected by Friday
next (15h) that all the different corps
win nave reached their respective stations.
If Prussia were disposed to a settlement.
the excited Italians would thwart it. The
uprising in Italy for war almost surpas
ses description. The higher schools and
universities are closed, and the etudents
are gathering about Garibaldi. A new
war hymn is sung all over the Kingdom.
In every street and at every railway sta
tion it resounds. Flags float from public
buildings and private houses. Processions
march through the towns, carrying ban
ners and thouting the names of popular
leaders. The people seem to hail the ap
proach cf the ttrrible struggle as if it
were a festivity. The Italians are build
ing high hopes upon their navy. Their
fleet is divided into three squadrons, in
cluding first clasi iron frigates, gunboats
and corvettes. The Austrian will have
to look sharp after their ports. The Dal
ian Admiral (Persano) is a very bold and
skillful officer and will not be apt to dis
grace the tri-co!or flag.
It may well be imagined that these im
mense armaments on all sides are rolling
up a pretty heavy debt for the parties en
gaged in the business. They have found
how to muke paper answer the mca of
coin, and whilst the excitement lats will
not pause for expenses. Au-tria already
owes about sixteen hundred millions of
dollars, and her bonda, upon which she
pays five and six -per cent, interest, are
eeliiog at from forty to t-ixty cents oa the
dollar. .As a specimen of the taxation in
the Empire, we note the fact that house
rents pay a tax of forty per cent, to the
government. It is supposed that unle?s
Austria confiscates the church property
and npp'.ies it to the payment of the na
tional debt, she will be obliged to repudi
ate. This property is chiefly in large
tracts of land which tho church will loan,
but not sell a foot. At present the sol
diers arc eating up about a half million of
doners per day, and it uiay be considered
a little cheaper to set them to earning
something in the way of human slaughter.
We arc strongly inclined to the opinion
that however much immediate distress
may follow this wir, it will in tho end
prove beneficial to tho masses Wars are
the great agencies of human progress.
The most decided advances in the direc
tion of .emancipating the people and ele
vating them have been achieved by the
sword, and so far as we can now see, that
will continue to be the instrument by
which such results are realized. When
these bloody wars have taught the people
on the continent that they can manage
their own affairs more wisely and prudent
ly and liberally than hereditary families
can manage them, they will by. degrees
dispense with these families and a long
train of artificial settlements and institu
tions dependent upon them, and the world
will be better thereby. Out of the nettle
the rose will yet be plucked. But there
is no .way to developement save through
the clouds and carnage of battle. Peace
philosophers never yet found a substitute
for those fierce excitements which compel
men to sacrifices that they would never make
under the cool dictates of reason alone. If
this German war shall happen, we will feel
strongly that there is a Providence under
lying it that will yet reveal some positive
good realised by the peopld of Europe.
