The Congressmen who vote that way, in these times of pcco, had better pocket all future aspirations for office. The Southern people, under State laws, seem to manifest a desire to restrict the colored vote to certain qualifications, whicli, if reached, must reduce the number of the voting pop ulation considerably, and that will reduce Congressional representation, and reduce the strength of that sec tion in the Electoral College, when the extent f the measure is known.

That declara t ion certainly should be broad enough to satisfy the most fastidious. YVhex the Southern Confederacy died, large balances remained in Eng lish banks in its favor. The Confed eracy being dead, of course the only competent party to settle up the af fairs of the concern is the United States Government. Certain citizens who had an eye to business, and who were willing to collect the money due to the Confederacy for fifty cents on the dollar, proposed that the United States Government authorize them to go to England to receive the bal ance due The suggestions were acted on by Washington authority so far as to make inquiry of the Eng lish government on the question. That government was prompt in its reply, which in substance is, "Yes, we'll pay over the balance due the Confederacy, if you will pay its in debtedness." Exit gentlemen who would collect for fifty cents on the dollars. The excitement in Great Britain is calming down with the lack of im portant news from the seat of war. There is no doubt but that the navy of England is now in a very effective condition, and the stores of ammu nition and all the necessities of war at the maritime stations sufficiently large to be adequate for a long war uud au iminadiate outbreak. Never Jheless the Ministry shows no signs of hii Jimiug the public what it pro pose to do in advance of the meet ing of Parliament The tone of the press, however, suggests that Eng l.uid will let the war continue until Turkey is a little nearer the walL and will thou step in to prevent Russia from taking too much, unless she can get a little more control over Egypt .oiih .1ncricnn.

Harman The Hottenstine The Announcement of the Death of Church Member Kutztown Ine People I Their Individuality ; Their Hnbdt; Their Treatment of Drunk ard. It was 7 o'clock on SiiturJa ren ing, the 22nd day of December last, when we stood on the railroad, near the station, at Kutztown, Berks count j, Pa., and looked through the darkness at the lights in the town southward of the depot A ray of reflected light gleamed on water be tween whore we stood and tne village, of fc m.iQ t.jOM by Vhat body of water is that V He - . ml . O l gai. I, mux is oaucouej crevs ui Indian name, but no one there knows what it means. To our inquiry for a hotel, an answer was given that the borough contains five, all good ones, but still the speaker would prefer the jfutz House, or the hotel known to the natives by that name, but the name of which, as per sign, is the Pennsylvania House, and to accom modate um he would walk into the town and point out the hotel of his choice. It was kind in the Berks : old gentleman named Kutz, who is a lescendunt of the man Kutz who founded the town. He whs just the quality of citizen suited to answer our inquiries, and he answered them cheerfully. To our inquiry relative to church records he directed us to Rev. J. S. Hakmax, of the German Reformed church, he being the preacher of the oldest church organization in the town, an organization over a centurv old. Mr. Harman has preached there all his life, and his father preached there be fore him for a period of fifty years. His appearance reminds one of Mr. John Motzer, of this county. The next call was that made en Dr. A. J. Hottexstdce. Definite direction to the Doctor's place was received from a man in the street, who insisted in walking with : us to the door of Hottenstine's house. : A knotk athe brought a hearty I response, '-Come in. Of course we anJ there o,inJ the Doct(r i alone. He did not move from his seat We sat down in a cbiir by his side.

He was in nu-lress, barefooted, aiid had no cloth m-r uu excepting pa'it and shirt, tie had been reading the Reading Eagle, which he held iu his hand, and had been making himself comfortable at his own fire io a manner of abandon that is not often met with in these davs of superficial finish. The con versation had not progressed far till the Doctor g t out of his easy, half- recliniog position, and went to a book case and got out a number of old papers, chiefly relative to the Hottesstise Family. The family settled in what is now Max atawuy township, Berks county, a. early as cbe year 172'J, but they bare a record tbat antedates that date many years in Europe. lie had an appoint' ment for a consultation over a case in Lehigh county for the next morning Sabbath morning but with all tbat, he expected to meet us at bis father's Mr. William Hottenstioe two and a half miles from town in the direction of Eihton, at two o'clock P. M., on Sab bath. The Hoi tens tine tamily is large now and spread in many conntiea. With such an appointment made, we bade the Dictor gojd evening, went to he Kutc House, and retired for the night. Sunday Morxing. W'e were awakened nn Sunday corn ing by the riuging of a church bell. It was scarcely daylight, and we had not got the wonder out of our mind why it should riug so early, when it ceased riucing, and began to strike like a cluck. Ab ! that's it ; the time will be announced now. 1, '2t 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Gracious ! So late as tbat ! aud we sprang out of bed : but the bell tolled on. 1G, 11, 12, 13, 14. Non sense! the clock is ont of fix, we said, but it continued striking, and we count ed till it bad tol ed 50 ; at that figure we stopped, but it rang on a while longer, and we concluded the clock needed repairing. At the breakfast table our host was aked what mishap bad overtaken the towc-clock, when he raid : "Toe pi ire hag no such a clock," but the tolling of the bell was the an nouncement of the age of a citizen who bad died the previous night. The name of the deceased was Daniel Sayder, aged 83 years. The bell had tolled 83 times. Such is the custom in Kutx town. When a church-member dies, bis death, aod age is announced by the ringing aud tolling of the church- bell the morniDg after death. KCTZT'W!I was settled in 1733, by Germans, and a few French families, and was laid out by a man named Kutx, from whom it derive its name. Descendants of the founder of the town still live there, in the borough and in the vicinity of the town, in Maxatawny township. The place is a long town, built along what uv.-d to be the Heading and Lastoo pi'e, about midway between the places uauied, that ia, 18 miles from either poiut, and has a population of nearly 1200. The appearance of the place indicates considerable wealth, which could scarcely be helped, considering that it is located in one of the bst see tiont of land in the State. Everything considered there ia no better land in the world tban lies around Katitown. The virgin soil of the Wet may for a few generations out-yield it in the prc- ducttoti of eorn, Ae.,- but the ttayinz quality of the red-tinted lime-stone oil there will outwear the land of the West. Farm in Maxatawny township can be bought at S 150. per aere. The wheat in the ground, however, appear no better tban in Juniata, and in the few years past the yield of eloverand wheat has not been better tban here among the bills of the Juniata Valley. The place, until quite recently, has had four banks, but three of tbem have gone off into ways, where they will be followed by three-fourths of all the banks in the country within the next four years. There is a steam printing establishment in the town, that does the printing for three papers, the chief of which is the Journal, a German pa per: the second ot which is the JVa tional Educator, an English paper, and the third of which ia the Patriot, also an English paper. A State Normal School was located at the south end of town, about ten years ago, the nucleus for which waa found in the Maxatawny Seminary, which had ben successfully u.anaged a number of years by Profes sor Ueory Nick a. The chief religious belief of the town is uerman Reformed and Lutheran, A itrong congregation of each worship ia a Union Church, "Sabbath about." The name of the German Reformed preacher lias already appeared in this article. Rev. J. J. Kreissiuaa ia the name of the Lutheran preacher, ilia place of residence is twenty-four miles away, at Beruville. There ia a second Lutheran church io the place, the congregation of which ia served by Rev. A. S. Speaker. The Methodists have been thinly sown in that community, but keep up an organ ization. We attended preaohing in the Lnion church. It was German Re formed day, and Rev. Mr. Harman de livered a German sermon. The sing ing of the choir wa pleasant to the ear, in both Eoglisb and German, the effect of which was heightened by the aocom pammant of a pipe orpan. Two incor porated Cemeteries adjoin the town, and the Union church baa a hurrying ground attached to the plot of ground on which the church is built. The People are German ; tbay speak the German language, and if the busineas of the Commonwealth bad not compelled its recoida to be kept in English, bo other language (except in cases where otber languages are studied for accomplish inent and learning's sake) would ever have found lodgment tbere. The people are industrious, plain in their manners, and, with few exceptions, are the Iioeal descendants of the people that broke the power of the Roman Church in Europe, and settled the bal ance of power through the dreadful thirty years' war, the effects of which is still felt in Continental Europe. They are the descendants of the people that the effeminating allurements of Roman civilation could not overcome. Tbey are the tons and daughters of the men who prepared the way for the expres sion of fiee thought, tbat the Scotch Irishman aud Puritan io readily took bold ot afterwards, in their island homes. The revolutions and counter revolutions in Continental Europe, set tled certain ideas tbere, and made tbe work of tbe Puritau aud Scotch Irish man ea.y, comparatively speaking If it bad not been inr the sturdy blows of the German in Continental Europe for free conscience, tbe Puritan and Scotch Irish man would never have been beard of. Tbe Republic could not have been es tablished, had it not been for the Ger man, the Scotch Irishman, and the Yankee. To day their descendants are its main pillars. Tbe strong characteristics, aud indi viduality that appear so striking in tbe German character of long ago, is atill manifest in tbe Reiks county people. Tbe weakness of inordiuate display has not seixed on them. Tbey buy, and the; sell, and build, and improve, but not to that criminal recklessness that endangers all who are connected there with, and periodically plunges the coun try into tbe deepest financial distress. A man's pretensions amoug tbeiu amounts to nothing, if all bis actions in a business, social aud religious way do not correspond. Inconsistency plunge a man into tbe deepest con tempt among tbem. They scorn tbe man who fails in business and by tbe technicalities of law cheats bis creditors; and yet they do business, as the appear ance of tbe whole country evideuces. The busineaa man among them must Dave the character and individuality to do right, or he will aiuk into contempt. They scorn tbe drunkard, and yet tbey drink, aa any one who gets among tbem can aee. The man who tlriuks must have character and individuality enough not to get drunk. He loaes position in the community when be gets drunk. We saw men drink on Sunday and then go to church. " How does tbat habit work V we asked of a citixeu, at the first opportunity. " No wrong comes from it here," he said ; we tolerate no drunkards ; we hold every man indi vidually responsible for bis acte, just as God holds a man responsible, and tbe man who nnmaus himself by drink is a disgraced man. Our people btlieve it is a di.-grace, a sin, to get drunk, and tbat is why we bare do drunkards." He continued: "We have no sickly sentiment for tbe man who unmans bun self by drink ; we look npon him as worse than a beast." Still continuing, he said : " .Let me illustrate, lou are from Juniata county V We said, "Yes. Well, some years ago, a Lutheran preacher oame here from your county On a certain occasion, while attending an ecclesiastical body in Philadelphia, be got drunk. His colleagues from this district informed on bim immedi ately, and moved tbat be be expelled from tbe ministry. Tbe ecclesiastical body anted prcmptly and expelled bioi. When be returned to Kutztown tbe church doors were closed on bim. He hired himself to a butcher, and assisted soberly at tbat business two years. lie is now again in tbe ministry." it does not take many sncb examples to bring a community np to tbe right views on tbe question of drinks. Space at this time will not permit the publication or a conversation bad with Mr. Wm. Hottenstine, jf Maxa tawny township, father of Dr. Hotten stine, mentioned above. Doubtless the Doctor will take care of what his father knows of the early settlement of tbat neighborhood, and of the evects that transpired therein. What be know relative to tbe organixatinn of troops, and their march from Berks county to Wyoming valley t help preserve peace and maintain tbe dignity of Pennsylva nia, in tbe trouble between Pennsylva nia people and Connecticut people, who both claiaced landj in Wyoming valUy, should1 become a matter or ptlblio rec ord in th future history of tbe Com monwealth. He is in his 8Vtn year, iu good health and sound mind. We Were strangely impressed id tbe presence of Ibis aged man. The feel ing waS atin to awe. It seemed as ff be bad come from tbe loDg, long past, front ( resurrected world, when he" talk ed' of generations buried; when he fa'lirel of out first American ancestor,' who time to this country in 1752, tbe fifth ma'n tick in our line of descent in America,' ft seemed almost as' if a dead tfiin lUct come to life. He said" i " 1 recollect Nicholas Sohweyef very well. In the winter1 of 1801 t attended school iu a school house, wbicn, if it was not on bis prop erty, muftt have been about the line between bim and the ' Le-Vanta, near Kutztown. He waa then an o'd man, not large, not itnall, straight aa an ar row. 1 saw him almost every fair day, go to and from the village I often looked at bim. He had such a slovf, deliberate walk, aud scarcely ever walked in the road, but on his own ground inside the fence, along tbe road." Tbe site of the school boflse wfiich Mr. Hottenstine attended in I SOI, was pointed out to us by Mr. Nicks on Sab bath evening. Mr. Nicks had oora brr of questions to ask about the odd shaped Congressional district that sent his college clas&-mat-, Mr. Stengef, to Cengrrss. The President and His Policy. DISPATCHES AS PUBLISHED IN EXCHANGE crrr papers. WAsmsoros, Dec. 26. Since the return of the President and Secre tary Evarts they have been informed of the inauguration of a formidable combination to coerce them into a change of policy, aod formal notifi cation to that effect has been given them. The President intends to pur sue his course unfalteringly, and will not be driven out of the Republican party, or into nny other party, as threatened. It was intimated that the whole effort of certain Republi can leaders in the Senate is well un derstood, and the determination of the Administration is not to permit itself to be drawn into the struggle of these men for their own political aggrandizement The President re gards the talk of disruption of the Cabinet as ridiculous. Washisgtos, Dec. 26. Senator Blaine's comments on. the Adminis tration, recently published, are re garded by the President as unfair. He says he is not the judge of the motives of the Democrats in their support of his administration, and that what he has done seemingly in their interest will be shown at the proper time not to have been inimical to the interests of the Republican party. The Texan Trouble. Extracts from a letter, relative to Texan troubles, written by General J. B. Robertson, an old border man, says : "War between United States and Mexico is bound to come, sir aoouer or later." Tbere has not been a j eriod of three months since 1870 that has not witness ed a raid of Mexicans into Texas for tbe purpose of stealing cattle. During that period it has coat the people ol the State in taxes nearly ooe million dollars to niaintaiu her troops for the pursuit of cattle thieves, tbe cattle trade has been retarded more than a million bead and the damage to trade and tbe consequent impediments to the development ol the State has co-it us many millions. This state of affairs cannot continue forever. Mexico has violated all treaties and disregarded the enmity of nations, and I aay again war between tbe two countries is bound to come, sir, sooner or later. The inactivity of tbe United Statea authorities is largely responsible for this. The 'greasers,' who are tbe pre dominant class on tbe Rio Graude bor der, are ignorant, treachcioua cruel and blood-thirsty. Tbey have no more ronoeptioD of tbe extent and power of tbe Uuited Stales tban tbe wildest In dian of tbe plains, and tbey think tbat our failure to pursue and punish tbem is the result of fear. Tbey are the finest horsemen in the world, and con stant practice and innumerable revolu tion have made them splendid soldiers. They will ride seventy-five miles on their hardy native borses in twenty four bours and live on a ration of three red peppers tbe site of currants and a quarter of a pound of Jerked beef. Tbe first article of the greaser's creed is hatred of Americanos. ' Lerdo is now trying to regain power by fostering this sentiment It is the only way be can get a following. Every revolution in Mexico since Texas gained ber inde pendence has hinged upon hatred of the Americans. Tbe cattle raising interests of Cam eron, Hidalgo, Starr, Zapata, Webb, Maverick Crocket, Pecos, Pres-deo and El Paso counties, lying along the Rio Grande for a distance of five hundred miles, and of the counties adjoining, comprising the finest sheep and cattle grazing land in tbe werld, have been almost ruined and that part of the State is being depopulated. Browns ville, once a thriving city, is struck with a dry rot. Capital will not go where it is not protected. It is not true that the Mtlicans en gaged in the El Paso riot, aa it is call ed, were American citizens. That county cou tains 1,600 Mexicans, men women and cbildreu. This, accord iog to tbe usual computation and ac cording to tbe facts, leaves one bun dred and sixty-six male adults. One third of these are peaceable citizens, engaged in stock raising. Another third are herders and peaceble men, leaving about fifty lounging about San Elizario. Where did tbe six hundred men come from? From Mexica. sir. The trouble abont tbe salt mines fur nished au excuse which the greasers on the other side of tbe Rio Grande were waiting for. 'It has often been said that the thing is about even between the two countries, tbat abont as many cattle are rtfn across from Meieo into Texas as from Texas into lUxCd. . This' is Untrue from Me tery goid" feason, ff for rlo Otber, Hit there are no eattle hi Mexico on the Rio Grinds border to steel. Stock raising there, excepting sbep,bas been abandoned and wealthy conservative Spaniards e leaving the country, for their property has been for forty years at the mercy of every guerrilla ebief and bis hundreds of cut throats, with which te country is infested. Tbe border Sttes are given to the greaser. Their a-mies, which are ontioualj toarcbing tnder One ban or o"other, ner have a wagon train aod drive no beeves witl tbem, bat subsist off the country. Prestimos are levied upon merchants aid the money xpiandered at tbe moats' table. The ..fficials, from the Alcal down, know of every oattte raid that made into Texas and share in tbe stoils. We want oo more Meirr territory, bnt we want protection, aod t aee no other way to accomplish it. The greasers cannot bo eiviliied and made good chizena Tbere will never be peace on our border nntilonr govern ment maks its power felt. News Items. A board of trade bae been organized io Huntingdon.
