THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1860.
To the Editors of the state. .
We would call the especial attention of the
members of the editorial fraternity through
.out the State to the following resolution
adopted by the Lake Erie Press Association ,
'at its late meeting in this pity •
Resolved, That we recommend the passage
by' the Legislature of an set n fbr the more
general publication of the laws through the
newspapers of the State ; and that we nrg
the representatives from our respeotive seet
lions to exert their influence in favor of snob
a measure. That a committee of three be sp•
pointed by the chairman to draft an act car
rying out the sentiments of the above resolu
lion, and present it to the publishers of the
State for their endorsement and influence.
The committee appointed in accordance
with this resolution were Mosses. Lord, of
the Dispatch; Black, of the New Castle Ga
zette; and Whitman,- of the Observer. The
latter has been selected by the balanoe of the
committee to procure information on the sub
• Jima, and draft the proposed act, and be re
spectfully solicits the co-operation of his :
brethren of the Press in the State. ' Any
suggestions they may address to him will be
carefully weighed, and meet with a prompt
•
response.
IL:m 11111,1 WS dull attention to the
fact that our Association will meet again in
Meadville, on the 15111 of February. It is
desired that there should be a full attendance
of the editors and publishers of the neighbor
ing counties, and a cordial invitation is given
to everybOdy who feels an interest in the
011/118.
JUDGE PACKER.
We understand that the friends of Hon.
Asa Packer, of Carbon county, have con
cluded to present hie, name before the
next Democratic State Convention as a
Candidate for the Oubernational nomina
tion. While we do not desire to commit
ouiselt to the support of any individual
previous to the meeting of the Conven
tion, we are free to say that in our esti
mation ono more available, competent and
worthy l gentleman could be selected than
Judge packer. He will be recollected by
many6f our readers as having recently
donatisd fifty-teven acres of land adjoin
ing
c i
e Moravian village of Bethlehem,
Pa!; nd the munificent sum of $500,000,
to b 'ld and endow upon a Polytechnic
sqh 1 for the education of fire hundred
poor s annually. He entered the Lehigh
Valley a bare-foot boy, with &bundle on
bla back, seeking his fortune, and worked
fo*some time for seventy-five cents a day.
Subsequently he ran a boat on the Lehigh
canal. To him is due the early building
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, a greater
part of which is now owned by him. Ten
years since he was involved to such an ,
extent that be would gladly have parted
with all he possessed, if any one would
have assumed his liabilities. Now, through
his energy and indomitable industry, he
is one of the wealthiest men in the coun
try, and what is better than all, there is
no stain of any sort upon his record.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
'W find in Col. McClure. paper, the
Chambersburg Repository, a report of a de
cision given by the Republican Judge
King; of that district, involving the con
stitutionality of the law of Congress dis
franchising persons who left the section
where they resided to avoid conscription.
The cue was one which arose in Franklin
county between Mr. Stenger, Democrat,
and Col. Rowe. Republican, rival candi
dates for the office of District Attorney.
Mr. Stenger was returned as elected last
fall, and Colonel Rowe contested the elec
tion on the allegation that the majority of
Mr. Stenger was made up of votes cast by
men who were deserters from the draft or
from the military service, and are disfran
chised by the act of Congress.
Judge Bing held that the penalty of
forfeiture of citizenship• could not be in
flicted without due proem of law, and
that deserters can be disfranchised only
upon conviction of the offense by some
competent tribunal. As the act of Con
gress makes no provision for the judicial
ascertainment and conviction of the crime,
and the laws of the State make no such
test of the qualification of voters, the votes
of such men must be accepted. In the
decision he does not raise the question of
the power of Congress to impose a penalty
affecting the right of suffrage in a State,
and he expressly *sive, the issue raised
as to whether or not the act or Congress
is an ex post facto law, inasmuch as the
point decided is conclusive of the cue.—
These views correspond with those ex
pressed by the Observer at the time the
law was passed, and ever since, and will
command wide attention as the opinion of
a so-called "loyal" Judge. The idea tha
a man may be made to suffer the penalty
of an offence, without undergoing the pro•
oeu of a legal conviction by the courts, is
so absurd that no fair minded person could
entertain it lbr a moment.
;Ism WARD Bums delivered a leo.
ture in Buffalo lately, in which while an
nounoing himself in favor of negrosnffrage,
he expressed the opinion that until the
North adopted it universally, it was not
manly for our people to demand it of the
South. He took bold ground in favor of
reconciliation between the two sections,
and said he would hay, no more blood
shed—no hanging of Jef£ Davis—buil a
total cessation of strife. It was nem4ssef7
for the welfare of the nation that the
North should not only be generous, but
should let the South know and feel the
sincerity and strength of this feeling. Mr.
Beecher exerted the utmost power of his
eloquence and earnestness in support of
these views.

bill for the District of Columbia, arelin

WHAT HOOD POLICY DEMANDS.
There has been war between the North
and the South—a war precipitated by the
extremists of both sections for the over.
throw of the Union and Constitution--
which has been concluded by the unqual
ified triumph of the supporters of nation
al integrity and the "Union as it was;
under the Coristitution as it is."—
The people of the Fouth, whßtever
may have been _their aims, have sub
mitted _to the National ,authority.—.
Their protestations of loyalty are genuine ,
and sincere. With becoming humility,
they ask for rather than demand the
rights and privileges to which they are
entitled. They are met in Congress, ana
by a portion of the press, with denuncia
tion, or treated with distrust. This is not
only unpractical and unstatamanlike,but
unchristian. "If thine enemy thirst give
him drink." If out of this war is to come
permanent Peace and Union, we must, as
Secretary Seward says, "Trust each other."
The lack of this confidence produced the
war ; its restoration alone can alone term
inate the conflict.
But, say the Northern Disunionists, the
people of the South are estranged from us
and we cannot trust them till they have
learned to love us. How long a time, we
ask, under the role of the Radicals, will
be requisite to win the affections of seer
who are persistently maligned and syste
matically persecuted ? , It is not strange
that there is hatred in the South toward
the North. How can it be otherwise, when
her memory is busy among her own bat
tle fields. She valuei herself upon the
courage and devotion of her sons, as
though their heroism, had not illustrated
the cause of treason; and wounded their
country's life. The Bound Tablyin an ar
ticle on this subject, inquires: "Do we
wonder that a people who hive given up
everything for a dretqn of independence,
should try to oonsole:theseselves in their
desolation with the barren splendor of a
name high in the annals of war? Shall it
disturb us that the Confederate uniform is
cherished in many a Southern home, and
that fireside tales of Southern victories
will quicken the pulse and brighten the
eye of youth for a generation to comp ?
Assuredly not. Our own hearts bear gen
erous witness within us, and tlilate with a
cordial pride in our country6en that is
strangely tempered with pain for their er
rors."
But the radicals are not satisfied with
the unavoidable condition of the Southern
mind. So long as the sorrowing and re
pentant insurgents do not feel as they feel
they are determined to deny them the
recognition which a common humanity,to
Ility nothing of political wisdom, would
dictate. This intolerant spirit, so long as
it remains the ruling spirit, is &bar to the
return of the era of good will. That the
generous, forgiving spirit, born of Christi
anity, and in reality the very ground work
of our republican institutions, may be re
vived all over our land should be the
prayer and labor of every true patriot.
PERTINENT SUR GESTION&
The people of Massachusetts are happy
- in another grievance. The landlord of the
American House, atTittafield, Mass., de
clined Fred. Douglass as a guest—where.
upon that black Demosthenes thundered
at him from the lecture room, and the
newspapers declare a crusade against the
hotel. The Albany Argus, commenting
on' the matter, pertinently asks: " Why
don't these philanthropists open their
own houses to the black orator? Why is
it that Abolitionists always want other
people to recognize the equality of the ne
gro ? Those who send their daughters to
academiei, want the negro to be admitted
to the common schools. Those who ride
in carriages demand a place for him in the
'street ears. The fashionable churches
shut him out of their pews and detnatid
an opening for him at the polls. Massa
chusetts, which has no negroes, wants to
reconstruct the South on. a political negro
basis; and the remote counties of this
State, which have not a dozen genuine
blacks in their-population, want to make
him Juror, Supervisor, &0., on Long Is
land and in New York. In all these cases
the design is not to better the black, but
to annoy and disgust the common class of
whites. The Puritans abolished bull-bait
ing, not because it htut the bull, but be
cause it twinned the crowd."
PUZLIC. Ecottoxy.—Public econommays
the Lebanon Courier, a Republican paper,
should now be demanded by the people,
and Representatives should consider it
their first duty to lop off every unneces
sary expense. Wherever there - is an offi
cer getting a higher salary than is a fair
recompense for the duties performed, let
the salary be reduced ; where appropria
tions are asked, let conviction of their
necessity and justice precede the granting
of them; in short, let the era of public
economy be inaugurated. We are satisfied
that many millions—more than most peo
ple have an idea of—can be saved for the
public treasury, by a determined system
of saving. And ,that the country is in
sore need of saving, all must admit. The
sins of the rebels htiie put heavy burdens
upon the people., We have saved the coun
try from its traitor (southern) enemies ;
we must now preserve its honor (and pro
tect it from its Northern enemies). No
such thing as repudiation must be tolera
ted. We can - meet all fair responsibilities;
bat to do so, let us have no dollar unjustly
spent.
THADDIATII Burns' hostility to the res
toration of the Union rests mainly in his
fear that the Democratic party would be
speedily restored to power, in case the
Southetn States were occupying their
proper positions. A cotemporary . sug
gests a way in which ha can , avoid that
result, As he is now engaged in offering
amendments to the Constitution, , some
dozen of which he is engineering, he
might add another, " that hereafter no
man who is or who ever' has been a Dem
ocrat, shall :be sp4l6le to . ..the office' of
President or Vice President." This one
proposition night render unnecessary all
his other propoiitions, and much valuable
time could thus be saved;
. Gov,. Cont arrived in Harrisburg on
Friday, and was greeted by,tho firing - of
cannon,, &a.. Ours is e. Governor who

riEUUO lIIIIFYRAUD IN TUB DISTRICT ,
The Republican majority in the House
of Representatives at Washington, in de
fiance of public sentiment, and of the fact
that t ree-fiftbs of the people of the whole
talon oppese the measure, lait we-k
passed by i vote of 116 to 54 the bill
granting the right of suffrage to Devoes
in the . District of Columbia. The pro
posed amendment restricting the privi
lege of voting to such as can reed and are
properly owners was lost, and the bill as
adopted makes no discrimination of any
kind thus putting every negro on the
same basis with the white citizens of the
District. It reedit as follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United Slates of Ameri
ea- to Gngras assembled, Tbat from all
laws and parts of laws, prescribing the
qualifications of electors for any office in
the District of Columbia, the word "white"
be and the earne is hereby stricken out,
and that from and after the passage of this
act no person shall be disqualified from
voting at any election held in said district
on account of color.
Sac. 2. And be it farther enacted. That all
acts of Congress, and all laws of the State
of Maryland in force in said District.
and all ordinances of Washington and
Georgetown inconsistent with the :provi
sions of this act, are hereby repealed and
annulled. •
Among the Nays there are a few Re
publicans from the Pacific and Western
Stater; bUt It to rtwarhablo dint, on the
fullest vote of the session, and on a
measure concerning which a wide division
of opinion was supposed to exist, tbe Rad
ical Disunionista acted in almost a solid
body. Our member, Mr. Scofield, not
withstanding his allegations before the
election that he was opposed to having
negroes vote, gave his support to the bill,
without qualification of any sort.
Tan ARMY.
The Secretary of War, in compliance
with a Senate resolution, gives informa
tion of the officers and men of the Regu
lar Army, how many,and where stationed,
with a similar list of general officers of
Volunteers. It seems that there are yet
in the volunteer service 47 3lnjor-Generals
and 141 Brigadier• Generals. Ot the fOr
mer, 3 are commanding districts, 17 com
manding department. 4; 5 are on special
duty; 1 is on leave, and 21 are ordered to
be muater•d out. Of ;the latter, 23 aro
commanding districts and departments;
six are on courts-martial; six are Assist •
ant-Commissioners .in the Freedmen's
Bureaurlo are on. other special duty, four
are on leave, and 102 are ordered to be
mustered out. This leaves in the service 26
MejorGenerala;end 49 Brigadier-Generals.
The highest in rank in the Regular Army
are as follows Lieut. Gen. Grant ; Gens.
Halleck, Sherman, Meade, Sheridan and
Thomas. The Brigadier-Generals are Ir
win McDowell, William S. Rosecrans,
Philip St. George Cooke; John Pope, Jo
seph Hooker, W. S. Hancock, John M.
Scofield, 0. 0. Howard, A. M. Terry and
J. A. Rawlins. The total number of offi
cers and men in the Regular Army is 1,1;4
officers and 23,795 men, an aggregate , of
24.919. Of the officers, 100 in the cavalry
are absent, 113 in the artillery and 368 in
the infastry. The Tribune comments . on
these figures in the following significant
style:
From a report by the Secretary of War,
the country will learn that it is still un
der the protectiqn of forty-seven Major-
Generals and one hundred and forty-one
Brigadiers. We were about ,to propose
that these should be formed immediately
into a regiment on the well-known plan
of Artemus Ward, but we learn further
from the report of Mr. Stanton that no
less than one hundred and twenty three
of theie gentlemen are ordered to be
mustered out—twenty one Mijor-Gene
rale and one hundred and two of the
Brigadiers. The safety of the Republic
will continue to be looked after by twenty
six of the former and forty-nine of the
latter—all drawing pay with exemplary
regularity. The Regular Army is report.
ed as comprising in all 24 919. We hope
soon to hear that it has no more officers
than are wanted for that number of en
listed men.
JIM MANE MAIMS HIS FIRST SENSIBLE
=1:21
General Jim Lane has been making a
speech in Kansas, to which the Western
press attach some importance, as, it shows
that some of the most pronoun Ced of the
Western Radicals have ; made up their
minds to support Prisident Johnton's
plan of restoration. The following ex
tract from Lane's speech presents a di
lemma that would bother the most astute
Eastern disunionist to meet fairly ,
" I laugh to acorn any man, especially
any Kansaa.man, who would advocate the
extension of suffrage to the colored man
in the Southern States and deny it to him
in his own State. (Applause.) I was
talking tho other day with some gentle
men, I believe in this city, on this subject
of colored suffrage. One was advocating
the extension of the suffrage in the South
ern States. I asked him what about ex
tending the right of suffrage to the col
ored men of Kansas? Oh, he was not in
favor of that. Another man responded
and said he supposed the reason be was
ie favor of extending suffrage to the black
man in the South and not in Kansas was,
because the plantation blacks were so
much better qualified than our own.—
(Laughter.) That closed the conversa
tion.
" If you meet the question at all, meet
it boldly, squarely and honorably. If the
Constitution gives to Congress the right to
fix the status of suffrage inLouisiana and
South Carolina, it gins it the " same right in
Kansas and Connecticut, and Wisconsin and
Illinois and Pennsylvania. I would like to see
Republicsa. Congress extending the right of
itifrags to the Mack slam of Pennsylvania or
any of the ether Northern States! It would
be wise political action, would it not
Absurd ! Leave the question where the
Constitution left it, with the different
State governments."
JUDO! Scorn= is the rising man In
Pennsylvania. No more ready speaker,
no more able debater, no more Republi
can, no more thoroughly national man
can Pennsylvania bout either in or out of
Congress.—Crassfoni Journal.
• If what the Jotanal asserts be true,
Pennsylvania is in a deplorable condition,
and her people are'entitled to the sympa
thy of the rest of the Union. Judge
Scofield is - at the best a man of Very or
dinary intilligebce and ability, and we
should be sorry toil know that he has no
superior in the State. Were such the
fact, the prospect for any future exhibi
tions of statesmanship from Pennsylvania
would be slight Indeed. The Journal says
the Judge lithe rising man of the Com.
tienwealth, and its statement may be
true: The experience of the past demon
strates that almost any person of ordinary
Aapaotty; who liits•imPudenie - enougli, and
lachieg conscientious scruples, can rise
rapidly to public position, and this is ex
actly the fort of stuff our Congressman is
made et. With Out any, regard for con.
: _._.~
sistency, a toady to poptilarity, ready to
follow any creed that promises to be 'no-,
cessiul, and possessing an ambition that
knows no bo — unds, he is just the kind of
man who is likely to ride into office upon
the present wave of fanaticism. The day
is cotnin4 though, when all his class of
politicians will receive their' quietus.
vt HAT PIiNNNYLTANIA HAN DONI.
About ten days ago a telegraph abstract
was published, giving the aggregate num!
ber of troops called out during
and also the proportion furnished by each
State. We have since received from
Washington the full official report from
which that abstract was made. It appears
that the number of men furnished by
l'inmylvania under thevarions calls was
as follows :
t-
1861. April 16, three month men, 20,176
May 3, July 22 and 25. Three

' Two year men, 204

Four year men, 44
Aggregate credit to Pennsylvania, 866 828
The table furnished by the Secretary of
War, although it includes the "hundred
day men " who were mustered into the ser.
vice of the United States, does not include
all the Pennsylvania militia called out in
1862, '63 and 64. If these were included
it would increase the aggregate of men
furnished by the State beyond that of New
York. As it is the number of men credited
to . Pennsylvania is nearly 14 per cont. of
all the melt' called out during the war.—
Or, to put it in plainer figures, the 366,326
men credited to our State are nearly one..
se renth of the-2,653,062 men credited to
all the loyal State..
Tee Washington correspondent of the
Few York Herald says a delegation of the
Democratic party or Pennsylvania, headed
by lie. Wallace, Chairman of the State
Committee, and composed of all its mem
bers, were introduced to the President on
Saturday, by Hon. Samuel J. Randall,
Congressman from Philadelphia. The
Chairman briefly stated that the object
of their visit was to offer to the Govern
ment at this crisis their hearty and loyal
support. "If you come to me as patriots,"
said the President, " I feel I may count
on the you offer; but if as parti4
sans only, it is more doubtful, as I shall
not swerve from my genie; of duty for
party men or party objects." He then
went on to explain his views of the pat.
ice' situation in terms so frank, eloquent
and decided as to astonish every one pres
ent. The result of the interview, the
correspondent says, was simply to make
an enthusiastic Johnson man of 'every
member of the committee,. who pledged
unconditionally the entire vote of the par
