many hard-fought battles, are here, some
-nue an arm or a leg, but all joyous because
of the end of the war, and because oncernore•
they are permitted to enjoy the societyofthe
loved ones at home, and to feel that they
have no foe to contend with. Do they come
home, tilled with bitterness, and ready to
menace Democrats, as the shoddyites hoped ?
No, no. They talk like men of sense, are
liberal in their views, and patriotic in their
sentiment). To a Man they are opposed to
negro-equality ; opposed to negroes voting :
opposed to "loyal thieves," and opposed to
those heartless rascals who remained at home
to jilt contracts, and pile up magnificent for
tunes at the expense of the soldier and the
Governmeid. These are the men, these the
measures the soldiers are hostile to ; and
mark it, they will let their resentment bu
felt at the proper time and in the proper way.
Hereafter they will vote as freemen and as
they please. Many of thetn remarked to us
"we are now out of the army, with no one
to threaten us with punishment if we refuse
to vote the ticket furnished us ; hereafter we
vote ' , according to our own judgement."
That's the way they talk, and, they are in
earnest. Hundreds, thousands, aye, tens of
thousands, who left home three or tour years
ago, rampant Abolitionists, return cured.
They have seen enough of abolitionism ;
enough of the doings of the leading men of
that traitorous organization. One num who
had been a leading Abolitionist in his town
ship, and who has been in the army for more
than three years, told us that he was fully
convinced that the sudden manner in which
the slaves were set at liberty was a most ter
rible calatnity to them. He find witnessed
the suffering that had followed, and was
horrified. Gradual emancipation, htt said,
might have worked Well, but freeing four
millions of slaves aml turning them lOose all
at Once, thousands of them to perish, was a
piece Of wic'ki:dness that no men with a heart
in his bosom could endorse. These were time
views of a man of sense—the views of a man
who entered the army a bigoted Abolitionist,
1111 d who returns to his. home a full believer
in the principles of the Democratic party.
Hereafter he will act with and vote with us.
"Wait till the soldiers come home." Well,
we have waited patiently. and right glad are
wo to see the soluiers and to 'hear them talk.
They are with the Democrats, and the only
men against whom we hear them -hurl their
curses are the "loyal thieves" and the ne.-
gro-equality advocates. GO(1, the
soldiers are again freemen, and cannot be
approached by a h ireling of the Government,
or instructed how to vote— roluaterr.
We give the above, which is almost the
entire leader of last week's Volunteer, to
show the few soldiers who still adhere to the
political faith they held when they went into
tht' service, how sadly they have been desert
ed by sso large a class of their inure simsible
comrades. Why just think of it —"hundreds,
thousands, aye, tens of thousands, who left
home three or four years ago, rampant abo
litionist,, return cured," and "are with the
Democrats." AV hat a tremendous reinforce

When it was proposed to employ negro
soldiers we were told that the feeling of the
army was intensely hostile to the measure.
About every Democratic politician in the
country had conversed with about every sol
dier in the service, and every soldier had
sworn noet lustily that he wouldn't serve if
negroe- v ere enlisted ; that our amities would

Demobrats; brit now as it suits better, we
hear of hundreds, thousands, aye tens of
thousands who left home rampant Abolition
ists." After this experience, our neighbor
must excuse us for saying that we don't be
lieve at word of this marvellous tale about
the number of their new converts. For
every one who went away an Abolitionist
and returned a Democrat, at least, ten who
went away Democrats have returned fully

The men who served in our armies hav
intelligence enough to know who, of those
who remained at home, aided by their voice
and influence the efforts they were making
in the field fur the preservation of the Gov
ernment; and they Ii now too, just as well
who were continually giving aid and comfort
to the rebellion by their resistance to every
war measure. The soldiers will remember
Who denounced the war as unnecessary, un
contstitutionid and wicked; waged not for the
purpose of restoring the Union but to destroy
our free Government and es-tablish a des
potism and not to vindicate cur Incas and
perpetuate our hberties. They will not
' soon forget that when the rebellion was
staggering from the blows given at Gettys
burg and Vicksburg, our northern traitors
taking !Riven age of a spirit created by the
treasonable utterances of Democratic leaders,
raised insurrections in our principal cities to
such an extent that- large portions of our
armies had to be recalled from the field to
prevent a successful resistance to the con
scription. 'Thoy. will remembet that as long
as the war lasted nearly every Democratic
politician exerted himself to the utmost to
destroy our national credit and prevent the
taking of our national loans. These fellows
told the people that, our debt was greater
than the value of our property ;,,that every
man's farm was mortgaged to its full value
to curry on this Abolition war; that repudi
ation was inevitable ; that our loans were
lower, than those of - the rebels in European
markets, • and tMtt- our 13. verMnent was
hopelessly insolvent. Thus they undo 'vored

Important Decision—The Bounty
Law Declared Constitutional
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in
session at. Philadelphia, has just rendered a
decision in the case of Speer and others
against the school directors of Indiana coun
ty. The ease involved the constitutionality
of the act of Assembly of April 26, 1864,
under the provisions of which loans for large
sums of money had been authorized and ne
gotiated by various cities, counties, boroughs
and towns, within the Commonwealth, for
the purpose of facilitating the enlistment of
volunteers by the payment of bounties; thus
enabling these communities to fill their quo
tas without the necessity of a draft. The
question of the constitutionality of this net,
under which loans to the :Amount of many
millions of dollars had been made, was first
raised in this case, and was presented to the
court of Indiana county, by bill in equity,
in which the plaintiffs, who were tax-payers,
prayed for an injunction to restrain the de
fendants from borrowing $5,0.0 in the na me
and on behalf of the borough of Blairsville,
to procure volunteer enlistments by paying
to each volunteer a bounty of $3OO, to fill
the quota assigned to the said borough by the
last requisition of the President, &e., and
also to restrain them from making payments
therefor by the issue of the bonds of the said
borough, plaintiff; suggesting•that the debt
of the borough will be greatly increased by
the loan and their taxes largely augmented.
On behalf of the plaintiff, tlot power of the
Legislature to authorize the mu icipality of
Blairsville to borrow money and levy taxes
for its payment, for the pug pose of paying
bounties to persons enlisting in the military
service from that borough, was denied. The
position was, in fact, taken that the Legisla
ture, not having the power, the act was un
constitutional wad void. Upo . hearing, the
court bolow refused the injunction, and dis
missed the bill, and the case was brought to
the Supreme Court. It was argued before
• three of the judges during the session of last
witrite.e, and ryas for some time held under
advisement;-but,. tiiejhaving failed to agree,
the ca'se•was ordered down for' reargumenl_ , ,
at the, court; to be held at.Huirrisburg.
Af -
ter ail elaborate and ,comprehensive
ergu
-rnerat,--before:the couve l it;Fraeri - Sblirg, the
case was submitted and held 'under advise
inept. The opinion of -the majority of the
court was delivered by Mr. Justice Agnew,
affirming the constitutionality of the law.—
,pinion is quite lengthy and luny com
prehends all the questions at issue. Mr.
Justice - Thompson delivered a dissenting
opinion, in which Chief Justice Woodward

From the Plttaburgh Osiv•tte.
A HINT . TO THE PUBLIC CRED-
ITOR.
I observe-that the Republican Convention
of Ne' Jersey have laid upon the table a
resolution offered in regard to negro suffrage
South.- The Ohio Convention is. re
portedlo have already done the same thing,
and thi Pennsylvania Convention, judging
from its elements, will follow the example,
unless some steps are taken to prevent it.
This unusual reticence upon the greatest
of pending questions is but a reflection, how
ever, of the reserve of the loyal press which
has hesitated to declare the convictions of
the Northern people,' for no other reason ap
parently than because it is feared that the
expression might not be agreeable to those
who hold the patronage of the Government
in their hands. While, in some instances,
it has ventured to whisper a complaint with
bated breath, that the President had not
comprehended the loyal negro within his
plans of reorganization, it has almost uni
versally forgotten to suggest that while the
question is one which belongs exclusively to
tho:peOple of the loyal States, through their
representatives in Congress, and to no one
man in the nation, conic from pilkilvt State he
may, although invested with all the execu
tive powers of the Government.
This is conceded by the President himself,
but yet the work of reorganization goes on
quietly on his particular plan, and every ar
rangement is being ma , 'e to bring the united
delegations of all these States to the doors of
Congress at the opening of the next session.
That he will feel pledged to support them is
taken for granted by all of them They will
expect no less when they come on his invita
tion and in his particular way. If he does
they will be admitted, unless the people, in-
Stead of waiting, will take up the cue in ad
vance and bring such an opinion to hear up
on it now, as will'seeure the fidelity of their
prosontatives.
The events' of the last session, with Gen
eral Banks at Washington, pressing the ad
mission of the Louisiana members under the
auspices of the Government—and this, too,
after Congress had asserted its own jurisdic
tion by the passage of a bill which was not
approved - ought to settle the question wheth
er it is safe to await the assemblage of that
body.
It. is, I think, a general conviction a
mongst reflecting men, that if these States
are to be brought back by the same men who
took them out of the Union, we shall have
gained nothing but the enfranchisement of
the slave. and shall have put ourselves once
more under the feet of the same power Iron]
which we had just so happily escaped. The
Copperheads know this, and therefore all
strongly endorse the plan of the Executive.
Once back, however, what is the first con
sequettee to ourselves ? An immediate re
newal of the old coalition upon the basis of
a repudiation of the national debt, beginning
with a refusal to lay the necessary taxes for
the payment of the interest. Taxation is al
ways unpopular. What better argument for
the overthrow of the Rep.:l,l4'lin party them
the promise of relief, if not the suicidal fully
of hurrying back the tri hors themselves to
assist us in adjusting and settling the ac
counts of the war ? To du this thing would
convict us. of incapacity to govern.
Soma people may think these fears are
idle. If they will look, however, into the
lending De °erotic layers of the interior for
the last three years, they will find it assert
ed again and again that the war was unright
eous—that the loans made to carry it on
were unlawful and ought not to be paid—
and that the sccnrities were worthless.
Is it likely that their Southern brethern—
all actively engeged-against us, and now ad
mitted into Congreswill consent to pay
any portioh of the debt incurred in subdu
ing them, unless wo assume theirs—which
would be the equivalent to-repudiation ?"
There is btit one thing that can save us,
ffirdlnat is the seasonable interve-Aion a the
public creditor. Tho public securities areso
widely _diffused. that he is now a power_ in
the land. The politicians aro not to be trust
ed. All their hopes and fears are in the di
motion of Washington. And there will be
no Convention, where they have the rule,
that will dare to whisper a remonstrance.
And so too with Conr•ress. They would
have failed at ili a c last session, if it had, en
dured a little longer. To wait on them is
death—and there is no way of making Masi,-
lowly sure of securing their fidelity to the
rwopic but by such a demonstration in ad
\ anee throughout the several States, as will
12111161 e them to under s tar.d that they will be
expected to It their duty, ur t,• suffer the
direst emseyueuces in the event of'failure.
which the editor of tlu• (;(1....-elle con
ments as follows
Our correspondent "X" points to the pro
bable consequences to our national securitic.s,
and of course to our entire financial system,
which is based upon them, should the same
old spirit which brought nbullt secession gain
lull ascendancy in the South, and conjoined
with the remains of copperhendism in the
- ,North, acquire the control in Congress. Th e
restoration of the party of secession to power
in the 'TA/open! States of the South would
greatly reinvigorate and encourage their old
allies of the North, and it is fully to ignore
the fact that, united, they would constitute
very formidable party.
Now suppose that party once more in pow -
'the Union us it was"—with the South
ern leaders in their old position of absolute
domination, is it likely they would agree to
tax themselves to pay the interest, and ulti
mately the principal of the Union war debt.
while the debts of the Colifederney, in which
alone they are interested pecuniarily, are ut
terly repudiated ? Depend upon it. that in
that case they will insist that either both
shall be paid or both repudiated. But as the
double debt would be more than the nation
could bear, repudiation would be the most
prol able Men who can justify
treason, and prove to their own satisfaction
that it is no crime to break up the Union,
will not boggle long at repudiation. That
policy, while it could not damage the South
in Character, and but little in fortune, would
plunge the loyal States into irremediable
bankruptcy and dishonor—the very thing
that our enemies in the South want to see
accomplished.
There are loyal men enough in the South
to blllll3 it and the nation from this danger to
which they are exposed, but the majority of .
them are not of the approved color: There .
is the difficulty. It may be that we are shut
up to the alternative of choosing between'
negro suffrage on the one hand and nationals .
bankruptcy and financial ruin on the other
or that if we refuse the negro's vote we must
take the rebel's debt. It is a serious ques
tion, arid one that must be met quickly.

SUICIDE
—We arc pained inexpressi
bly to announce the suicide of Wit. XE. BEE
TEM, EST, Un Wednesday nturnihgshortly
after five o'clock, he arose as was his custom,
and spent a short time in the business. room
of the Bank, writing. Shortly before six o'-
clock he went to his own room and shaved
himself. Nothing more was seen of him un
til the breakfast hour, which is about. half
past six, when his a bseence alarming the fam
ily, search was instituted and his body was
found susptinded by the neck by a bed cord
fastened to a rafter in the garret,
wh , •r' li' had retired evidently with the de
liberate purpose of putting an end to his ex
istence. When discovered life was entirely
extinct, the hands and feet slightly discolor
ed, and a bright red mark around the neck
vh , ar the rope had nearly imbedded itself .
'Hie deceased had been laboring under ex
treme depression of spirits for a week past,
which resulted in the temporary insanity
during which this most deplorable act was
committed. He has been for ninny years
the Cashier and financial manager of the
Carlisle Deposit Bank, of which he was also
the largest stock holder ; and to his upright
and intelligent management much of the suc
cess and usefulness of that eminent institu
tion is due. His untimely end will prove a
decided calamity to our community, who,
with the stricken family of the departed,
mourn deeply the sad event.
AS II LAND (21 ['lilt Y. L--The associa
tion having in charge the erection of the
new " Silent city of the dead," have chris
tened it as above, and are rapidly urging
:the work forward. The ground has been
accurately surveyed and is being laid out in
accordance with the - tasteful design on. ex
hibition at Mr. Ewing's furniture rooms.
It rests now entirely with—our citizens
whether the cemetery shall be so far com
pleted as to admit of interment at a very
early day—Suy four weeks hence—or shall be
permitted to languish for a year or ''More,
tor lack of their support and encouragement.
That it is to be pern fluently located upon
the present beautiful site is it lixed fact, as
already quite a number of lots have been
sold; but how soon it is to be adorned and beau
tified in a becoming manner, depends al
most entirely upon the amount of pecuniary
encouragement bestowed by our people. It
is a singular fact that while the earliest pa
trons of any enterprise—which, like the one
under consideration, is will be a lasting and
permanent benefit and blessing to the com
munity, and is curtain to prove successful—
reap all the advantages of varied selection
and low'prices, that many persons who must
finally become purchasers, procrastinate
from time to time until the supply becomes
