Ti: Delaware Republican (Radical) says
"the negroea have a right to vote now in
every State of the Union, under the Civil
Rights hill," and it will "proudly and joy
fully join in the appeal to Congress to en
force the right." Long ago we stated that
ismietim e or other the Rads of Pennsyl
vania would take that position, and we say
now that should Judge Williams be elected
to the Supreme Court in October, they will
immediately atter so declare. The election
of Williams would give them a majority of
negro partisans upon the Bench, and hence
such a decision as they desire. As at pres
ent constituted, a majority of the Judges of
the Supreme Court arc adverse to negro
suffrage. This fact have kept the ]tads
quiet upon this subject, and prevented them
from endeavoring to push negm suffrage
under the civil sighti bill. The people can
rely upon it that the election of Williams
will be the signal for an attempt, b o th
through that Court and the Legislature, to
give the voting privilege to the negrees.—
And if the (tads succeed in their design,
hundreds of thousands of negroes will im
mediately flock into the State from the
South, to vote and become a tax bunko up
on the people—for thousands of them would
fall upon the counties for support, as they
have done hitherto upon the Federal Gov
eminent. If the thinners are wise they will
nip this design in the bud by voting for
Judge Shorewood.
FILTHY LUCRE.—Money the root of mod
ern evil, is causing trouble in the Radical
camp. Some of the "loyal" 01104 in the
South have appealed to the "loyal". ones in
the North for money. Theyrooeivod it and
spent it but the loyal cause was not advanced.
Now the torriblo suspicion is aroused that
the "loyal enas may have been too loyal to
themselves and not loyal enough to their
party, and the Tribune mussel! long pursed
loyalists to send in the future no contributions
to the South exoept through the Central
Republican Committee at Washington.
Will the Northern 'loyalists' never under
stand that the object of a Southern 'loyalist'
is to muko his polities pay ?—Churicatint

A YANKEE IN A TIGUT PLACE.
A down-eaater thus relates an adventure
he had while traveling on foot in one of the
Western States: "Well, you see back here
beout a mile beyont the Nockyernoseoff
creek, I wur walking along as happy as a
lark, looking about over the prairies and
thinking heow beautifnl the girl All Seeing
had made the world and what awful tatirs
this silo would raise, when I see a big drove
of cattle just one Pia. I wur admirin'
berm fat and slick they wur au' lookin' at
their good pints, when an almighty great
brindle bull jumped up out'n the tall grass,
and begin to shako his all-tired big curly
head an belles an' switch his tail an' paw
the ground over his back. I concluded it
were best to let on like's if I want afraid,
an' so I began► to whistle, 'Hake her down,
Sal,' and other good chunes, thinkin' as
heow I'd slip past the blasted old cuss; but,
jist as I got oppersite, he gin a snort an' be
gin to fetch a rake in the site with his fore
feet. I put in a few quick stops 'bout then,
but wns afeurd to run, cos I !mowed if I did
he'd feel encouraged. Putty soon he begin
to come on a trot, an ' then I let out in a
kind of canter. Then he riz to a lope, au'
seein' it wore no use wain' for him to quit
I just loosened these ere legs of mine an'
cou►e down to best time. I looked 'lomat
for something to climb, but there I ware in
the cussed 'waiver and not a pea stick to be
seen nigher than a mile uhead—henw I did
want to stop right there an Miss the 1,1114-
ed prairies. I gin a glance over my shoul
der an' see the everketite cuss with his
nose drown an' his tail up, eomin' jist on
the dead lay drown, and I let my legs count
another notch. The chase went nip an
tuck till I got near the creek when I see
that the bull were only, 'beout a hundred
yardeLehind me. Lord Jehossyfat, but I
felt quee•ish when I was martin he were gain
; it gave me such a skoer that my heart
seemed to dissolve in dish-water, an' my
legs kinder lost their feolin' so I could see a
lot of trees ahead a little ways, an' of I
could hold tout three minks longer, I'd he
to cm. Hooked back and the sufferin'
Moses, of the bull warn't within twenty feet
of me, his eyes all green and his nostrils
looked like a mita a put my head in them,
an' as red as% holt of new flannil, 1 got al
most to the erecltwhen I found the timber
wur on the oppervite side from me, an' the
bull so close I could almost feel his breath
on my cheek. I tl►ot of my flailed° in that
offel time ; sez I, 'Farewell, little Jetl, an'
you, Sorer Ann, my gentle companion.' :fist
at this instant I see a stump right on the
bank of the creek, an' made a spring for it,
expecting to get on top on' t, but it happen
ed to be holler an' I landed inside. I jilt
had room to squeeze drown in it an Fit my
bend below the top, an', not a darn bit too
soon wur I in, for its my topknot went drown
Mr. Hull's head came up whack again the
stump till everything jingled. '
"You buyer beleve I felt thankful I wir
housed at last; and the old cuss of a bull
wasn't he distippointed. Lord, huow 6
did rave round that stump, switch his tail,
paw the rile, and boiler. 1 peeped up at
him, jist to see how he wur gcttiu' on but 1
kalkerlate I peeped deown again offel s od.
dent, for I hadn't more'n got toy head up
till his horns twines a straddle on it, and his
skull hit the stump like a maul. The little
incident convinced me that the best thing I
could do was, in the langwidge of Wheeler,
to lay low, watch the black ducks and chew
pokeroot. Just as rd made up toy mind
not to put up my head again, I felt the of
fulest pain take me in the leg, I never see,
an' at the same time it commenced to whiz,
whiz, deown in the bottom of the hollow
stump, I tried to look deown to see what on
airth it could be, but the holler was so nar
ror, 1 couldn't get a chance to look, an' at
once it popped into my head that there
war a raitmake in the stump. When I
t6t of that I made 1111 offel plunge to get
out of the horrid den; but the cussed bull
warti't more'n six feet off, an' the mink he
seed my head came at mu full chisel. Thu
first I knowed 1 had dodged buck into the
stump agin and hadn't more'n touched bot
tom afore 1 felt another offel kcon bite in
my leg. I made a rush to get out again but
the cussed; infernal bull drove at me, an'
I was bleeged to pop back again. As I
squeezed down inter my stump again,
would bet'er barrel of runt that Surer Anu
would be a widder in less'n ten hours. 1
tried to cipher out which would be the
most becomin' fur a Christian, to be 'drip.

my inards slung to the four winds by a
missed brindle bull I thot of the martyrs

hooey and Jose ; ,11 tempted by Pott wire,
and concluded that I ott to profit by their
example, on' grin an' bear it no matter how
much it went light the grain. But I got
list then an offel bite or tew, an' ter save
my soul coldn't help stieken up my bead an'
the bull being on hand let drive on, filled
my eyes full of dirt an' bark, so deown
bobbed again fur !mike. I now begun to
get bites offel frequently, an' I squirmed an'
twisted an'sereeched at a fast rate, an• in
grabble' around I katohed something RD'
got a bite iu the hand.
"1 belt my holt on to it, an' behold, it
proved to bo nothin, a yalkr jacket. When
1 found I wasn't anaik bit, I felt suthin lift
off my atummick like a bag of shot. Glory

if I didn't koer fur all the gallsr jackets be
tween the Misnissippi and the Missouri but
the blessed Joruslud I hadn't seen one there
where I seen a thousand in another mint,
The whole holler of that stump pot yallnr
with 'em. I couldn't stand it long that
way. I tried to think of some kind of pray
er suitable to the occasion, an' commenced :
"Now I lay me down to sleep ;' but, by
Jewdas, I couldn't pray for cumin, I jist
swore, bull or not bull I wits gwin to emi
grate from that partickeler spot ; but every
time 1 put my head above the stump, the
bull pitched at me, en' hit the stump jist
like a maul, ho looked offel ferocious, with
his eyes as green an' the foam droppin from
his mouth. I was bobbin' up and o deown
so continnorly that I wus abeout half the
time in the stump en' half the time eout,
au' last I found the stump bcginnin,' to
give way under the thumps of the infernal
old brindle heathen, an' I ewer my heart
rot straight on end ; I made up my mind to
get coot of that, somehow, party quick, but
jist at the milk I raised up my head to
jump eout an' nun, the old cuss came at me,
with heal' down nn' tail up, at locomotive
speed, an as I dodged deuwn he struck the
stump, tore it up at the roots, an' shot tne
°out like a bunibsliell clean over the bank
into the creek ; ate after me come stump,
hull an' all.. The fore feet or sonic on cm,
of the bull struck me right on the back
knocking' me clean dcown inter the muddy
botom of the creek. When I rot the fns
thing I seed MIT the old feller's tail, an' as
I couldn't swim a lick, I made a grab for
it an' made hint tow use whore. 'Who*

tor The black republicans are, at this
early day, beginning to agitate the question,
"who shall be the next radical candidate for
President ?" They evidently don't trust
Grant, fearing that he is too conservative
for their purposes. The New York Tribune
hints that they can take Sheridan, if they
must have a military man. Why not fall
upon Fred. Douglass lie would bo the
best representative of their principles.

Democratic Vlctorlem.
Everywhere whore elections are held, or
the people have the least chance to express
themselves on the great bones of the day,
there is indicated a vast change in favor of
the Democracy. After the Radicals had ar
rayed themselves squarely against the con
stitution of the country the first State beard
from—gallant little Commettotrr—fired the
first gun of the campaign which is to end
with the complete rout and utjer overthrow
of the fanatical and revolutionary power
which has wrought so much evil. Then
followed Kstrrvexr with a magnificent Dem
erratic majority, after which CALIFORNIA
sends over the glorious greeting from the
Pacific, and wheels into the Democratic col
umn which is marching on to complete vio
tory. Next comes the news that the hardy
pioneers of the new territory of MONTANA
have elected a Democratic delegate to Cou
gress, and that the whole territory is strong
ly in favor of' the party which is battling for
the constitution. Besides these absolute
victoria, we have also cut down the 'Lidi
cel majority wherever elections have been
held, and even in the most fanatical portions
of New England the tide is beginning to
run the other way. We could not a,-:k for a
prophet more encouraging, and them) tokens
which come to us front afar, that are breth
ren hive and are battling manfully and suc
cessfully for the Union, ought to incite us
to renewed exertion in the contest in which
we toe now engaged in Pennsylvania. Fays

AN AMUSING I NclDENT.—Everybody
about here knows crazy Bill Bailey, and we
need therefore not give explanations. Some
time ago he entered Jacob Miller's house
in this place at an unseasonable hour, and
came near being shot for a thief. About a
week ago, lie entered a house on the Island,
went up stairs and considerably frightened
the lady of t halumsa whn happened to be
up yet but alone. Ile has been guilty of
another trick too revolting to mention in
public print. If the overseers of Monroe
township don't soon lock hint up they will
yet bo made responsible for some of his
misdeeds, for we aro certain such a character
is not safe on the streetr. But let us come
to the main story: A few nights ago a
certain girl in this vicinity sat up quite late
sparking. The matter becoming rather
tedious, about midnight her beau proposed
to take a moonlight promenade to kill off
monotony. I►uring their absence Mill
Bailey entered the house, went up stairs,
occupied the girl's bed, and entered upon
a good snooze. It so happened that, con
trary to the rules of propriety, the spark
ing party continued up all night and the
pretonce of Bill in the house was not known
till next morning when tho children gave
the frightful alarm that Bill Bailey was up
stairs in Angelina's bed! Bill begired off
and said he would do so no more.—Sslins

The creation of Gen. Pope, who lost his

Bull Run, to say nothing of his head, and
who thereby, made a mockery of the Union
cause, in the Rebel cause,—whose coat was
stuffed in a Richmond shop window, during
the war, and labelled, "my headquarters in
the saddle,"—the creation of such a man
into a monarch, is man's fault. President
Johnson—not Congress, was to blame there
fore. Bo was from the President's King
ulannfactory, not Thad. Stevens.
Pope is doing all sorts of things in his
dominions—lbw, that are sensible, and those
only by mistake; the most of them being
as senseless as his silly military campaigns.
How such a man ever got into the army—
how and why, he is kept in—are puzzles
unacoulitable on any reasonable hypothesis.

GENF:HAL RANT. The Radicals are
felling this gentleman, as they would a
lemon, which when well squeezed, they
will throw away. Chase, the Chief Justice,
beyond all question, is to be their machine
man fur the Presidency. The Freedmen's
Bureau will send fur him to the Convention,
11 Southern States—and Now England,
and New York, will go for him,—with dele
gates, here and there, from the West, wore
than enough to nominate him. The bletho
dists, too, are to be enlisted, as the Chief
Justice has recently become very pious in
that Church.
Gen. Grant is a good enough soldier, and
a groat enough General, but a green, very
green politician. His only chance of being
made President, was, in holding his tongue
and his pen, and ho held them so well for a
long time, that many thought he would hold
on,—bat they wore mistaken. He was
desirous, we see, to be President, and the
Radicals in Washington have told him the
way to bo President,—was to talk, talk,
talk, write, write, write, order, order. He
has begun, and ho will end, with the poli
tician& lie is by no means sharp enough
for them, and they are laughing well, at the
way they have been using him up.—.Els

An Incident of Married Life.
A wild young fellow married a lovely girl,
and havieg lung been addicted to habits of
dissipation even the sincere attachment
which ho entertained towards his wife,
could not entirely disentangle him from
snares. Ilis occasional irregular hours
would have given any but one of so pure
end sweets disposition every reason to ex
pect she did not hold that place in his affec
tions, which was her right ; but this refks3-
tion scarcely ever intruded upon her spirits.
It happened once that he was called out
of town, and in his haste,• he left behind
him a letter, in which to please an unprinei
; pled friend, he had spoken of his wife in
terms of carelessness, if not derision and
(Mimed freely upon his course of life. Im

rapid steamer upon a journey which must

ter was exposed unsealed upon the table.--
lie recollected, too, with a pang, that he
had wantonly, in answer to her inquiries,
boasted that it contained a prollrund secret,
which he would not have revealed for the
world. Ile paced the deck in agony of grief
and shame. Ile pictured her opening the
letter, turned pale with horror and indigna
tion—perhaps fainting with anguish--
alarming the servants— flying to her father,
and renouneingt►im forever.
As soon as possible he returned, but with
a sinking heart lie entered his dwelling,
bracing himself to meat the fury of en en
raced and wretched woman. Ile opened
the deer softly. She was bending over the
table busily writing. A placid smile scaled
her mouth of perfect beauty, and spread
over her glowing features the mild express
ion of joy and peace ; and even a s she wrote,
the fragment of' a sweet ballad fell from her
lips in low music that only flows from
heart entirely at rest. The husband stole
noiselessly around and read as her pen tra
ced her gentle thoughts.
"Your letter is lying by me, the very let
ter containing the "profound secret." Now
I could punish you for your carelessness ;
but, by dearest Mulcts, how could 1 look
you in the face when you return, after hav
ing basely vinlat,sd your trust in my integri
ty, and meanly sought to gratify a silly curi
osity, at. the expense of honesty, delicacy,
and confidence. No, the letter is unopen
ed ; and, lest you should feel uneasy, I en
close it to you with the sincere love of your
affectionate wife."
"What an an angel !" uttered the con
science stricken husband.
She started up with a cryof pleasure, and
as Charles met the light of her clear un
shrinking eyes, he was humbled that he
should have su.•pected her, and deeply struck
with repentance at his own conduct. Ile
henceforth severed all ties that drew him
abroad. And if the pure being whose influ
ence had lured him to the path of right and
perused all his subsequent letters, she would
have found nothing concerning herself save
busts of the sincerest love and admiration.

completes her salute, and advances to her
position in the pew. The gentlemen break
off by files from the rear, and resume their
places. Great care should be taken, of

aisle when this evolution is in progress, un

Kr Isn't it a fine thing to think about,
Mr. Radical, that your party, in order to
retain office and power, is now engaged in
the grand and noble work of disfranchising
white men and niggerizing halfthe free white
governments of these States by enfranchis
ing the negro ! You attempt tomako armor,
ignorent class the guardians of the superior
race.
How many of your Radicals, who now
advocate this '.`policy," but a few years ago
complained long and loud that foreigners—
"ignorent foreigners"—obtained the right
dear:we too cheaply in our Government,
and that Democracy, the foreigners' friend
and protector, must be compelled to change
its policy, requiring them to "wait a little
longer?" We don't understand this par
tiality for the nigger over the foreigner.—
Is the elective franchise cheaper now than
it used to be? Or has the idolised negro
grown so loyal? What is the matter?"—

Packing the Juries.
Scarcely a Democrat appears in name up
on either the Grand or Petit jury list for
the next term of the Dauphin court—and
not one of those residing in llarrisbnrg (a
Democratic city), is a Democrat. Whether
or not this was done to prevent the convic
tion of the Radicals indicted for the recent
thefts of paper and records from the State
Capitol, we cannot say, but about the time
of the arrest of those individuals, some of
their Radical friends were heard to declare
that they never would be convicted by a
Dauubin county jury. Scrotal libel CIVICS
are also now for trial, on a change of venue,
in which prominent Radicals are intcroted.
In ono of these cases John J. Patterson, a
confrere and business partner of George
Bergner, is prosecutor, and in another re
spondent. It is considered the duty of a
Radical court to protect its friends, and
when erinte is ouncertwd, to prevent them
from getting justice.— Ptterint.
ter Negroes of New York city are being
shipped "down South," by the radicals, to
vote their tickets. We wouldn't trust them
but after voting they will ship them to
('uba or South America and sell them as
slaves. They are now inaugurating& "slave
trade" in Now Orleans, under the name of
"Cooky labor," whit,h, in every thing hut
the name, is infinitely worse to the "chattel"
than never was a'avory. They are bringing
in ship-loads of Coolies from Asia, under
the pretense that they aro good laborers,
and dispose of them to planters who, under
the dispensations of the Freedman's Bureau,
are unable to procure negro laborers Tho
planters must have labor, and, of course,
their radical friends make a "good thing"
out of the want in this way. The ancestors
of these slime radicals supplied the South
with negro slaves; their descendants are
now doing the same offices in supplying
India substitutes.
Ur It is an old and true saying that too
much familiarity begets contempt. We do
