A Curlou+► Question.
As reasonable men, let us look the facts
of history in the face. At and before the
beginning of the late war, it was proclaimed
with all the loud mouthed ferocity of sec
tional demagogism, that the bulk of the
people in the South were loyal; that they
did not desire to go out of the Union ; that
a few aspiring politicians had swayed the
people ; but that the popular instinct, and
the popular well established sentiment was
against ACCC6BI on.
This was repeated time after time, by
aspiring political managers. It was alleged
that the bulk of the people in the South
were "loyal ;" and that only a few who had
"fired the Southern heart" were responsi
ble for the Rebellion.
How is it now? The world is told that
the South is "disloyal I" New, after it was
alleged that the South was essentially "loy
al," that is, that the prevailing sentiment
was in favor of the Union, we are intimued
by this Rump Congress that these people
are disloyal. When and where shall this
thing end? The people, not only of the
United States, but of the world, are inter
ested in the question; and it is desirable to
know rhere disloyalty ends, and where loy
alty beg. 4.
Op' ration of Despotism.
The perfidy of the Abolition numpites in
passing the Military Despotistn hill upon
the false pretense of its being a finality, is
shown by the fact that the first efforts of the
Virginians to organize under the bill have
been grossly interfered with by the tools of
the Congressional caucus. It would be ab-
surd to anticipate anything else than the
baldest perfidy and insincerity from men
guilty of the crime of voting for such a bill
as they passedin an age like this. It was a
trick and a fraud, and was not intended to
facilitate restoration, or secure the public
tranquility, but to maintain the Abolition
party in power, and provide for its adher-
ents the plunder of the Treasury. The
Southern people, fully aware of the enormi
ty imposed upon them by the brutal tyrants
at Washington, seem to have accepted the
situation, as any brave and high-spirited
people would accept such an indignity, in
contetnptueus Pilence, disdaining t partici
pate in the schemes of their enemies, devis
ed to secure their own degradation. Their
course leaves the Ilitinpites in Washington
with the disscvered 'Won upon their hands,
with no prosy et of settlement. and no ability
to guarantee the peace of the country fer a
single day.
A Cloak to 1114 e• Robbery.
The Genexsee (N. Y.) Democrat edited
by a leading Radical, who was a member of
the Baltiniure Convention that nominati.A
Lincoln and Johnson, and who has taken a
prominent part in National and State poli
tics in behalf of the Republican organiza
tion, is by no means pleased with the way
Congress has been acting. and makes the
following, by no moans complimentary, re
marks of that revolutionary body. Says the
Democrat:
"The course of Congress is misguided,
end they will have to take the back truck,
particularly in the robbing schemes of plun
der. Under the cry of impeaching the
President, they cover up their robberies of
the people—within the last four years the
people have been plundered out of more
than 8500.000,000. We will mention a f e w
facts as proof of what we say : About 8,000
miles of Pacific Railroad charter have been
granted, including brunches. To all these
roads the Government has lent its aid by
renting $16, 0 00, $32,000 and *42,000, in
Government bonds, to each mile or road
mule, to be certified by men in the interest
of the companies ; the amount to be granted
depending on the certificates as to grade,
tke., which will always be the highest SUM.
To this is added 12..'gsi acres of land to each
mile of road completed, equal in all to
000 per mile ; multiply $50,000 by MO9,
and where are you? behold the figures—
s4oo,ooo,ooo. Suppose it will only average
the half of this amount, to an already over
burdened people it is frightful. The stock
of these roads is taken by the friends of the
members of Congress—which means them-
selves. To make the rubbery annplete, and
to cheat the Government out of the bonds
issued there is no personal liability of the
stockholders, amid the law provides that the
roads may be bonded and the bonds have
preference to the bonds of the Uuited States.

CONSERVATISM.
There is a class of people claiming to be
conservative, yet acting and voting with the
radical party, who years agoae united in the
crusade against the Democratic. party upon
the following premises Firdt, that the re
eponsibility of the then pending war rested
solely with the South, the North, in their
opinion, being entirely free from anything
like complicity in the matter whatever. Sec
ond, that the war would be waged by the Ad
ministration for the speedy suppression of
insurrection, and the restoration of the Union
with the rights of State and people unim
paired. Accepting this flattering hypothe
sis as correct, the deduction was easily
drawn that the Democracy, in differing with
the policy of the Administration, necessarily
stood opposed to the logic by which the con-
Nervative class argued the correctness of
their position. How nearly correct, or rather
how far from being so was thisconservative
war-detnocratie-Union-republican, et geniis
/10111111111 i syllogism, the results of the past
two ears, have most eatisfuctnrily demon
strated. From its inception, the Democratic
party foresaw what would inevitably result
from a civil war, and with unerring intuition
they read the covert designs of abolitionism.
The Democracy never opposed a war fir the
Union, from the simple fact that there has
been no war waged for any such purpose.
The party, to-day, is read;, a 8 it always h as
been, to fight for the Union ; it protests now,
as ever, against disunion, whether soeght
to be accomplished by tear or the more in
sidnous procemeof Rump Legislation. The
present lamentable condition of public af
fairs is but the fulfillment of the earnings
repeatedly souuded by the Democracy. They
have never been derelict in duty. To the
honor of that great constitutional party, be
it said, it never shrank from danger. Ito
leaders, as well as the rank anal file, have
braved everything, and always have persist
ently refused to bend the knee before the
idela of abolitionism, and this too when the
terrors of the bastile or expatriation were
ever before them. Having, at the beginning,
plainly and most unequivocally indicated
the purpose of the struggle forced upon an
unwilling people, the Democracy can point
to its infamous result as their proudest vin
dication. History, with its iron pen, has
engraven upon everlasting tablets the, infa
my and crime of the leaders and abettors of
the pseudo Republican party. Douglas, in
his Hayes letter, written from Washington,
dated December 20. 1660, employed the fol
lowing language : "Many of the Republican
leaders desire a dissolution of the Union, and
urge war as a means of accomplishing dis
union." The experiment of dissolving the
Union by war was tested ; after a sanguinary
failure of four years duration. this plan was
abandoned us unfeasible, and Rump legisla
t! an adopted a; the surest and most speedy.
It may seem strange to some, yet in view
of the past and present, we still have hope
for the country. Abolition-radicalism, drunk
en with blood and blinded by success, has
thrown off all restraint, and its insanity and
devilish hate are beginning to open the eyes
of those who, under u misapprehension, have
acted with them, It is hardly possible that
men now in the radical organization, who
really want to see a restored Union, can
longer fellowship with the rump traitors, who
have used as a hobby and prostituted to
their base purposes the dearest chord in the
American heart. Clinton Drnmerat.

allow them seats on the floor, but when the

voted fur it. Horrified and chagrined, they
turned upon their heels and put fur Harris
burg. Soon after their arrival a series of
resolutions were introduced and passed in
the Senate bitterly denouncing the treat

6'7 Evora
To Presidents and Secretaries of
bchooll Hoard'.
In a few weeks the schools In many of the
districts will close for the school year. By
the act of April 17th, 1865, the annual cer
tificate, and affidavit of the President, may
be mule out and executed immediately after
the schools of the districts have closed for
the year ismumeneing on the first Monday of
June preceding, and not before. A proviso
of the same section declares that the annual
report shall be forwarded at the same time
with the certificate. The report therefore
should be wade, as soon as the financial af
&ins of the district shall have been Kittle('
for the year, anil both document-shunt at the
same time to the County Superintendent for
approval. These papers should, if possible,
be prepared, signed and the certificate exe
cuted by the men who were in office when
the matters about which they report, and to
which the President swears, or affirms, were
transacted, otherwise the new officers may
be required to report upon subjects of which
they are not cognizant. If' the report is not
made till near the first Monday of June, the
officers of the old Board should make it out
and sign it at the bottom, but leave the
blinks on the right hand page, for the names
and addresses of the members of' the Board.
When the new Board is organized the old
Secretary should hand over the eertiticaw
and report to the incoming officer, who
should fill that blank with the names of the
new members of the new Board and Ibl-ward
both papers immediately to the County Su
perintendent. It is useless to send one un
less both are sent at the same time, for the
Superintendent will nut forward to this de
partment one of these documents unless it
be accompanied by the other.
By the act of April 2'2. 1563, the new
School Boards cannot organize until the first
Monday of June. except im the county of
Allegheny, and the euies of Philadelp h ia,
Lancaster and Beading, but they mu .t or
ganize within ten days after said first Mon
day of June. By a special act of April 4,
I 566, Allegheny County, except the cities
of Pittsburg and Allegheny City, was made
subject to the general law. •
The organization of the new Board except
in the cities above named, before the time
specified in the law, is illegal, and any action
of a Board under 5u..11 an organization is
null and void. —Pt stasyltatek School Jour

LIVELY TIMES IN CoN(iliEm.

destitute in the South king under cousid

afternoon Butler obtained the floor and
charged Bingham with having cone over to

great warmth and bitterness, saying that he
would submit to no such imputations from a
man who had voted fitly-seven tim es i n con .
vo l ition to nominate Davis for the Presidency,
an d who was morenver responsible for the
miserable failure to capture Fort Fisher.
This brought forth a hearty round of ap

partially restored. Butler rose to reply. but
the House was in Committee of the Whole,
and all debate bud been closed. The only
alternative was for the Committee to rise
and the Speaker to resume the chair, which
was ordered by a majority vote. When the
Speaker resumed the chair, Butter asked ten

that he had not ken more successful in the

during the war (or immediately atter its
ease) was that of putting a woman to death

Liberty for Ireland.
There are brighter hopes for Ireland at
this day than C.ore has ever been since
England inaugurated her tremendous, all
prevaiding system of oppression and military
rule over that devoted land. The Emerald
Isle is yet destined to sparkle us one of the
most brilliant of ocean gems, with the
Shamrock flung aloft. and floating victorious.
ly in the breeze. Long has Ireland lain un.
.ler the heel of British oppression ; often
has she uselessly appealed to the better in
minds of England's proud rulers; nobly has
she borne herself through grievous sufferings
and sorrows; and manfully, though ineffect
ually, struggled to be free. Yet those efforts
have not been in vain. lier time lied not
yet come. The world bad -not yet been edu
cated to the full appreciation of the absolute
necessity of freedom in every intelligent hu
man government. Such freedom as Ireland
had a right to claim, and which only un
reasoning tyranny could reprise.

Ah. sad is myspirit when evening comes or,
Asoy indeed he light of breaking

Since death has taken d*r Nimazi away.
The joy of my boaom has gone to demy.
trien&in the parlor hum vanikthed away
Tn liter rough sea I'm loft furleru,
he sport of every billow.
Oh, what is Joy? or what is life 1
Or what the boast of earthly treasure,
While iu the land a hideous strife
Destroys each earthly pleasure.
Oh that thepast fur one brief hour
Could bring him to the leafless bower
That I might recall the worth once said
In anger to the injured dead.
Oh that I might gain one smile and hear
Onee more those miles now doubly dear;
vain--'tis vein—the dead are duwb,
They cannot to my longing come.
One preciona thought left me,
One precious thought given,
If I ant faithful on earth,
I shall !UNA him in heaven. U. H.
