    THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1867.
"Constitution Tinkering."
The AUeghanian favors a Convention to
amend oar State Constitution, and suggests
four improvements to that instrument:
1. Transfer all special legislation to the
Courts.
3. Extend the right of suffrage to skedad
' tilers, and take it from those who work at
the rolling mill but a few days before elec
tions. 3. Insert a provision against the purchase
- of the legislature by Simon Cameron or "any
other man."
4. Give the ballot,, to the negro. Freeman.
The proposition which The AUeghanian
, made in regard to special legislation was
for "some constitutional guard against the
vast and expensive amount of special leg
islation enacted at each sitting ol the
Legislature" which the Freeman con
; torts to suit its own purpose of miarepre-
- sen tat ion. In regard to its declaration
that "an amendment for this very purpose
was adopted in 1864, and is now part of
the Constitution," we answer by quoting
the amendment, which reads :
"No bill shall be passed by the Legislature
granting any powers or privileges in any
case where the authority to grant such pow
ers or privileges ha betn or may hereafter be
conferred upon the Court of thit Common
wealth." The amendment covered, and was de
signed to cover, only such cases on which
the Courts could already act, or on which
they might in the future be empowered to
act. We thought the Freeman wai edited
by a lawyer of reputable learning !
Its nxt declaration, namely, that we
proposed to "zxtend the right of suffrage
to fikedaddlers," is as plump a falsehood,
or else as stupid a blunder, as wis ever
put on paper. Our suggestion, if indeed
it was a suggestion, was for "other and
more efficient means than are now provi
ded for guarding the purity of the ballot."
We further said "That the permanent
disfranchisement of thos6 unfortunate, de
luded men who fled the country or re
mained in hiding-places to escape the
draft will be seriously proposed, we cannot
say, though we hope not." The Freeman
coolly reversed our language and made us
appear to use words we never uttered.
We supposed that paper to be conducted
with rome regard for the truth !
The Freeman certainly knew that it was
uttering a misrepresentation in saying
that we more thin intimate our desire to
take the right of voting from the poor
laborer who is compelled to leave one
place of labor and seek it at another.
Such a man is not necessarily a "charac
terless character." But we do think that
our laws now permit men to vote at city,
township, and county elections who have
scarcely more interest in the affairs of the
corporations in which they exercise the
elective privilege than a stray raccoon.
Our remedy for this evil, as well as for
that of colonization, (and all we meant to
"intimate,") is to require a residence of
three or six months in any county or
election district before granting the fran
chise of the ballot, and a good registry
law.
As to the other assertions of our neigh
bor, in which it is insinuated that we de
sire to restrict suffrage with the whites
but extend it unrestricted to the blacks,
we certainly admire the vast genius that
could contrive so Bhrewd and cutting a
piece of English. The Freeman tells us
also to go to the Democracy to find pure
men if we deem them scarce in the Re
publican party. Sending us to Judas
to find integrity! Democratic purity
what a burlesque ! The Freemm is
called to the stand to bear true testimony
as to political purity in Morri3 township,
Huntingdon county, and as to Democratic
purity in Washington township of our
own county. lion. Jake Thompson, of
.Mississippi, was one of the shining lights
of Democracy Jake Thompson and his
six millions.
We incline to think the Freeman tries
to be consistent with its boasts of fairness,
bat it is hard for sinners not to sin. Al
lowance, too, must be made for a sinner
who in his day has been a Whig, an early
Republican, and a Democrat who has
fought against the domination of slavery,
and then with and in bthalf of slavery
who was a tariff man, and is now ceem
ingly opposed to a tariff who was in
favor of the war against rebellion, and
then opposed to that war who was op
posed to the equality of all men before
the law, and now considers it "the glory,
the pride of our country, that before the
law, a before the court of heaven, all
men stand, on an equality, that the white
and the black, the rich and the poor, the
high and the low, all stand on the came
level."
Freeman, this is more fpace than you
deserve, but we desire our readers to see
how fair jou are.
-Temperance.
TaB Fenians are kicking up quite a
dust in Ireland. Their armed organiza
tions have attacked several military sta
tions, but cable reports say they have been
untforral worsted by the Qaecn'i troops, I
The panacea recommended by the late
temperance convention for the evils of
intemperance is a law prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors
throughout the State. While a conven
tion of temperance reformers called to
gether by politicians proclaim tho impos
sibility of total prohibition as the sovereign
remedy for what is admitted to be a
crying evil, in New England, where total
prohibition has been fairly tried, men are
begining to doubt its efficacy, and com
mittees are sitting to investigate its
workings and discover the best policy to
be pursued in the future in regard to this
vexed question.
The temperance movement contains,
beyond doubt, many good and noblemen,
who desire only the welfare of the com
munity, but it can scarcely be successfully
denied that nearly if not every temperance
movement of the past has contained men
who made professions of total abstinence,
or of favor to the cause, only because bv
so doing they could gain a favorable
hearing from a large portion of the public.
We fear that in this respect, the present
movement does not differ from its prede
cessors. One thing we think should be well
reflected upon by every person engaged in
the present temperance effort, as indeed
by every well-wisher to the country, and
that is, why has every temperance move
ment of the past proved an almost, or
altogether, a total failure ? True, some
men Eay they have not so proved, that the
time was when nearly every person drank
liquor, but in the next breath they say
that mania potu used never to be known,
and that intemperance is alarmingly on
the increase. In Maine, where prohibitory
Iaw3 originated, where such a law is now
in full force and has been for years, the
papers report a case before the courts in
which a husband was ardently addicted to
the ardent fluid, and into whos6 cup hia
wile placed strychnine to cure him, as she
alleges, of his passion for strong drink,
but which resulted in his death for
causing which she is about to be tried.
A queer case, if the prohibitory system is
the sure solvent of the evil of intemper
ance. We wish success to the present
effort in our State, but doubt the efficacy
of the means used.
Pulling Together.
The Ebensburg Freeman, the Johnstown
Democrat, and the Johnstown Tribune, all
have something to eay in reply to the
following paragraph which we published
a couple of weeks since :
"Of the necessity for additional guarantees
of the purity of the ballot, we have abundant
evidence in our own county. For instance,
some roving, characterless character,- who
never remained a year in any one community
since he was set adrift from b.13 mother,
obtains employment at the iron mills in the
south of the county a dozen days before the
annual elections. He knows nothing and
cares nothing about the interests of the
county, and will sell his vote for a glass of
wnisky ; yet he fcas the same influence on
election day as the steady mechanic or
thrifty farmer. Ought he to have ?''
Such characters as we described usually
vote the unscratched Democratic" ticket
on any question directly or indirectly
concerning the treatment of black people,
yet the Tribune pulls with its Democratic
cotemporaries and writes itself down as in
favor of giving the characters we described
"the same influence on election day as the
steady mechanic or thrifty farmer." Tf e
wish to give every man the opportunity to
vote, but not to abuse his privilege. No
wonder the Tribune suspects its ears are
too long to be human.
Hon. A. A. Barker, representative
from this district to the Thirty-ninth
Congress, has returned home, his public
labors for the present having ended.
During the two sessions of his term, Mr.
6. was almost constantly in his seat, la
boring indefatigably for the success of
true Republican measures. His record is
before the people. His constituents, we
feel satisfied, after scrutinizing it, will
place thereon their unqualified seal of
approbation, and will hail him who for
two of the most trying and eventful years
of the nation's existence was their mouth
piece and exponent, with the appellation
of "good and faithful servant."
Hon. Daniel J. Morrell, Mr. Barker's
successor, has taken his seat in the Forti
eth Congress. Though a new man in ac
tive political life, Mr. M. is no stranger to
the people. His two admirable letters on
political economy, one to the Iron and
Steel Association and the other to the
New York Tribune, have made his name
a household word throughout the entire
country. He will make a most acceptable
representative.
At the opening of the Fortieth Con
gress, Hon. Ren. Wade, of Ohio, was
elected Speaker of the Senate and acting
Vico President of the United States. In
the House, Hon. Schuyler Colfax was re
elected Speaker, and Ed. M'Pherson was
rc-elccted Clerk.

By the way, were you living in Huntingdon
county at the time the gip3y cast your horo
scope ? And if so, did she say nothing about
some danger you were to be in from the
fangs of the dogs of the law? Failing in
this, she failed in everything, and her story
falls to the ground.
gigy- The Johnstown Tribune, in giving a
reason for not discussing certain questions,
says :
We have an opinion that country editors
only make asses of themselves by discussing
at length such questions ot State policy as
are always settled by those who . never ask
and never care what country editors think or
print about them."
So the Tribune, by its own showing, in
order to keep its readers from knowing it to
be an ass, simply decline to bray. We are
glad the Tribune has made the discovery, but
far it has made it too late in the day.
Peg" The Reading Journal says : "Mr.
John Fritz, Superintendent of the Bethlehem
Rolling Mill, has just been offered by a simi
lar establishment in Baltimore a salary of
$12,000 per annum to engage with them.
He at present gets $6,000. To retain him, it
is probable the Bethlehem company will have
to increase his salary considerably. This
demonstrates to what importance a man can
advance himself by competency in his voca
tion $12,000 a year $4 for each laboring
hour." Mr. Fritz was formerly connected
with the Cambria Iron Works in the south
of this county.
What the Thlrtj-Mnth Con
gress lias Done.
Th second session of the Thirty-Ninth
Congress, urged to the work by the Repub
lican press, has accomplished a great deal.
More, perhaps, might hare been done, but
the result is nevertheless gratifying, and
we shall look to the present Congress with
confidence and hope. In order thai our
readers may see for themselves the work
donej we gire below a brief statement of
the leading measures of the session i
1. The bill establishing universal and
impartial suffrage in the District of Co
lumbia, without distinction ot race or
color, has become a law over the Presi
dent's veto, and the first election held
under it has resulted ia a Republican
triumph.
2. In like manner the bill establishing
universal and impartial suffrage in all the
territories cf the republic ha3 been enacted
into a law over the veto, and thus termi
nates the validity of all territorial laws
that disfranchise a man on account of
race or color. By the operation of this
bill the colored man will have a right to
vote in Colorado, despite the unfriendly
statutes of the territorial Legislature, and
all efforts to disfranchise the colored citi
zens in territories, like New Mexico,
Montana, Arizona and Idaho, are rendered
useless. This act will not enfranchise the
Chinamen in California and Nevada, but
it will have the effect of attracting them
from those States to the sold mining
territories where they will be voters.
3. The Military Reconstruction bill, of
which we have heretofore spoke at length,
has become a law over the veto. It es
tablishes military protection for frcedmen
and Union men at the South, fixes terms
of re-admission for the rebel States, de
clares the existing governments of those
States provisional, and secures the right
of suffrage forthwith to every adult colored
man in all the elections therein.
4. A bill to regulate the tenure of na
tional civil offices has become a law over
the veto. It puts an end to the capricious
removals for political reasons that have
disgraced the present Administration, and
renders the official no longer a mere de
pendent on the Executive pleasure. It
deprives the President of much of the
power he has wielded for corrupt purposes.
5. The amendatory tax bill has be
come a law with the President's signature.
It reduces the income tax, the manufac
turer's tax, and many other imposts, to
the extent of at least seventy millions per
annum. An amendatory tariff bill has
been passed relating mainly to the duties
on wool and woolen oods, and intended
to benefit chiefly the West.
6. Nebraska has been formally admitted
as a State, despite a Presidential veto.
7. A bill has been passed authorizing
an issue of loan certificates at a little over
three per cent, interost, to the extent of
fifty millions of dollars, to provide tor the
redemption of the accruing compound
interest notes.
8. An act has been passed providing
for the suppression of peonage in New
Mexico and other territories.
9. Payments to slaveholders for slaves
enlited as eoldiers have been stopped.
10. A national bankrupt law has been
enacted.
11. All future danger of a legislative
interregnum, such as happened in 1861,
at the outset of the rebellion, has been
obviated by the passage of an act nrovi-
ding
ior tne meeting ot every new jon-
gress ou the first, day of its term, March
4th.
Proposed IV License L.aw.
A license bill now before the Pennsyl
vania Legislatare, which was modeled
after the excise law of New York, provides
as follows : Every county in the State is
declared an excise district, and the board
of excise shall consist of four persons, to
be appointed by the court, who, with the
concurrence of the court, shall appoint an
excise inspector. The board of excise
shall license moral and temperate persons
to sell liquors in any quantity not less
than five gallons, no part of which shall
be drank on the premises where sold.
They may license a sulficieot number of
moral and temperate persons, who have
sufficient accommodations for travelers, to
sell liquors by the glass. Such persons
are prohibited from selling to minors,
persons of intemperate habits, or persons
who may be under the influence of liquor.
Any person msty forbid a tavern keeper to
give or sell liquor to auy one. lie must
close his houe every night before twelve
o'clock, and cannot open bis .bar before
sunriee. His bar must be closed from
midnight on Saturday till sunrise on
Monday. He is prohibited from selling
or giving away liquor on the day of any
general or special election, or on the days
of public meetings. Any one known to
be intoxicated may be arrested and com
pelled on oath to disclose who sold or
gave him tho liquor. The excise inspec
tor, board of excise, or any peace officer,
on view or complaint, are authorized to
close the house, except to travelers, of
any licensed person who shall violate any
ot the provisions of this law, and pro
ceeded against before any magistrate ; and
if the charge is sustained, the offender
shall be fined and imprisoned, aod his
license revoked. The board of excise are
to hold their office for four years, and to
receive the same pay as county commis
sioners, and the inspector to receive such
compensation as the board may deem just,
and may be removed at pleasure. Tho
board are required to grade the license of
tavern keepers, but do license can be less
than fifty dollars or more than two thou
sand dollars.
