TUE Copper Tariff bill, passed ori
ginally by less than a two-thirds vote,
but it subsequently gained much more
strength frorii'the White Howie, and
was re-paised by a two-thirds vote

liait•The rush apcople from all parts
• , ,
of tne country to witness tne inaugu
ratimi of President GRANT has -I*m
immense. Even some country editArs, ,
seduced by the. low price of car fare,
have gone to Washington. In that city,
ho*ever, they will doubtless find 'the
"fare" high enough and scant enough,
too. But that's their look out.
KENTI4K refuses to admit the tes
timony of negroes, in her Courts of
Justice. It is within the power of
every suiter, aggrieved by such an ex
clusion, to- secure the enforcement of
the Civil - Thights Act, in an appeal to
the Federal Tribunals, which cannot
fail to declare the aonstitutionality
of the State legislat'ino. Anil no other
federal intervention seems to he re
quisite. .
Qlt is a curious fact that Virginia,
Massachusettsand hentucky have fur

making an aggregate of forty-two years

THE subject of taxation has occupied
a not undue share of attntion in the
State. Senate. The hill repealing the
act taxing mortgages and moneys at
interest, vas passed in that body by a
decisive majority. A. bill of vastly

tion of the Legislature two Years since,
and is said to have been very faithfully
. executed by Secretary Jordan.
PENSIOS.—There have been, it is
stated, 919 bills granting pensions to
individuals offered during the present
Congress. The Hens , • Committee on
Pensions, it is announced, have now
under consideration, and expect to re
port, a bill reafranging the pension
laws. Among the amendments to the
present law are provisions for a More,
efficient system of detecting frauds
upon the government in the collection
of pedsions, end for the disposition of
arrears of pension i i where pat ties, have
died, leaving pensions to which they
were entitled. Ono dame prohibits
widow, from transfering by will the ar
rears•of her Pension te, the prejudiCe of
the children of her deceased husband.

The Constitutional Atitendment.
. After a very •consideTable contest
between tin; lieuSe and the Senate as
to its proper prvisions, Congress has at
last passed the Constittitionld Amend . -
merit, which, when ratified - by three
, `fourths of the State Legislatures, will .
guarantee for all time to come to every
citizen in this Republic the right to
exercise that highest prerogative of 'a
fFeeman=the right of suffrage. Its
provision is as follows: "The right of
the citizens of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States or by any State,
on aceount, of race, color or previous
.condition of servitude:l.- Already-has
the KansaS t Legislature ratified it bra
unanimous vote in the Senate; and by
a vote Of _sixty-four to'seveninJhe
lower House. But twenty-five more
Legislatures will have to adopt when
it shall have become the law of the
land, there being at present but thirty
four States which are recognized as
such.
When this shall have been done,
then will the principles of the Declara
tion of Independence, which had been
o long ignored by our Government,
that all men are created free and'equal,
&c., have become enforced by the
highest law of the land,.and no caste
or Fejudice will ever again be permit
ted to pervert the genius and Spirit of
our free institutions.
But, say the Democracy, this amend
ment is an infringement upouthe rights
of the States ; and such an' argument
comes with exceeding illtrace from a
party 'of men who are continually
harping upon their reverence for and
adhesion to the provigions of the Con
stitution. That instrument itself pro
vides for amendment in the very- man=

question arises, why are the-Democ
racy so unanimously opposed to the
adoption of this amendment ?-- Is it
because that they are afraid the ne
groes vill:swell their vote ? Is it be
cduse they are afraid that-the right to
vote "will elevate the negro to a level
above their own 7" Or, is it because
they, knowing That the negroes as a
role were loyal during the war, are.
afraid they will vote with the party of
loyalty, and - thus help - the popular
condemnation of their own disloyal and
t lam son- 11;stering, organization ? Surely
it cannot be for the first reason, and
just as surely is it for the latter two.
They fear the negro if lie should get

.their level, but would even outstrip
them, and they well know -that his
loyalty .and personal respect would
forever preclude hint,, front casting his
vote with the flatly that went into re
bellion with the avowed purpose of
founding a GoV.ernment whose corner
stone-should--be his own enslavement,
This is why th , y grow wild in impo
tent rage over the proposed amend
ment. They -- did the satne, however,
over the amendment abolishing slavery,
and over the Reconstruction laws that
gave the right of suffiage to the negroes
tie lately revolting States, and in
spite of their opposition and raving, the
Reptiblican party steadily advanced to
the completion of both dust! objects.
And just as Democratic oppo4ition and
raving amounted to nothing then, so will
it now. For just its surely as tlte,
Re
publican party wiped out American
slavery and gave to the freedman in
the-rebetStates - the right of suffrage;
just so surely will they succeed in the
end in extending the. same right to
every citizen of whatever, ruse, color,'
or previous Condition of servitude that
is to be found within the, wide domain
of our Republic.
In this conitexicn we are rejoiced
to learn that Gen. Grant, who hits been
so reticient on all - othersubjects, is so
full of this one that asTarly as-last
Saturday ho declared to Senators. Stew

It is known that General Grant has

The slippery ,ways of politicians are
illustrated by the fact, since--General
Grant's -intimation that Gov. Curtin
would not be a member of the Cabinet,
that nearly all the leading Pennsylva

friends, repudiate all action or knowl

him . into the Cabinet. - hSome`go co far
as to deny that they ever endorsed
Gov. Curtin's claims for the position.
It is understood that all the Cabinet
officers, except General 'Schofield and
Attorney General Evarts, have offi
ciallytendered the resignation .of their
poytfoliOs to President Johnson, and
that they° will be ; accepted. ,In the
meantime their respective departments
will be left in charge of officials tjext
in rank as acting Secretaries,
Gen. Grant states' that the remark
attributed to hini by Colonel McClure,
that though he was elected by the Re
publican par i ty, he is apt a pally man,
is calculated to do Him injustice ; and
although he-does 'not desire to chatie
Mr. McClure with intentionally mis
representing him, he does not want to
be considered as untrue to the: rights
.of the party and the men who elected
'him.
Gen. Grant stated again, as ho has'
before stated, that be will appoint a
COMmissioner of Indian Affairs and a
Commissioner of internal Revenue on

of all the other .bureau officers ho will

COMMERCE BETWEEN THE STATES
—Gen. Butler has introduced - bite' the
HouSe a bill providing that no State
shall pass laws discriminating between
the citizens of such State' nd the citi
zens of another State in regard to trade
and commerce within such State ; and
all laws in contravention,of said act
are declared void. This is aime(Fat
law passed by the Maryland Legisla
ture at its last session taxing non-resi:
ents $3OO for alicense, and - then pro
viding that no person ha
resident shall afar for sale any goods,
wares, and merchandize without being
sulijeci, to a„penalty therefor. Sucli

Special Commissioner Wells is the best
example, in his recent ambitions, yet trim
ming report, of an unsuccessful attempt
to sit on two stools at once, that I remem
to have seen for some time. His half-free
trade and half protective tariff, cannot
bear but one interpretation ;.a desire to
"keep in" with thonewts on both
sides of this question in Congress, against
the time when he may want their influence
in the House, and their votes in the 9t•nntn
to confirm his appointment in some high
place that ho has sot his eyes and heart on.
From the recent action of the House, in
striking out his salary from the gineral
appropriation bill, it would seem that he
will not even be allowed to retaimhis pees

and let him down between. J,. E.

Corporations vs The People
Once ttiore hes our community been
startled by_ soother announcement indica
tive of the-usurping power of the Cumber
land Valley ainß. Company.
The worthy : officials of the road have
_declared $n their report, that,..they_aro_den.
tortnineM to do all the carrying trade of
the road; evidently meaning that they
will force from. the road whatever inter-.
feres with their own arrangements, in
- ilfeir warehouses and grounds' for doing
all the 'receiving, buying, selling, &c.
Not long since two enterprising men,
leased the ,oldest forwarding- house in our.
town ;.and the. corn munity, seeing the
spirit qt . the road to monopolize the trade
have resisted this:spirit byquttronizing the
individual enterprise. The soulless .cor
poration, not daunted by this withering
rebuke, issues•tin order_ to thoeffect, that,
at a date, not far distant, their switch, as
well as the on immediately above it, will
be -permanently closed : thus virtually
abolishing these two houses,' as places of
shipment, • although they wore built for
the•chnvenienco of the:, road,- when it was .
too poor to stock its own road, and far less
able to build warehouses. -Will tho busi
ness men and citii.ons of this community
longer endure this state.of things? Will
they permit themselves to ba compelled
to depend on ll house—that of the
company—for all the articles qt food, fuel,
&c.• Lot these indiuidual warehouses..be
closed, and what are the prospects of our
litTnuTs fdr tu , commodations 'and prices?
This last contemplatcd,act indicates, on
' mistakably the real spirit and intention of
fhb tTonipany, more so than any thing of
which wo ba,ye yet heard, Having .the
only port of entry, one favored the ware=
Louse, where Must go,'or :through which
must pass, all the products of this portion
of the valley, as well as all shipment of
goods and all commodites for sale.
The crisis has arrived, and the question
pressed upon us is, shall this community
be the dupes of the Rail Road Company,
or declare, firmly and forever, death to
all monopoly ? . • A CITIZEN..

With the advent of the 'Mouth
roses' we have been once more thrown in
to the season of nay making, picnics and
pleasure excursions generally. The farm :
Ors are busily engaged securing their
early hay crops, in order that this branch
of the husbandman's lakir may be com
pleted before the grain harvest sets in.
The young folks seek recreation in the
woods, or in fishing parties, or in berry
ing excursions. This is also the season
when early vegetables aro thrown into
the market, causing a general -derange
ment of the "internal imprevementg" of
mankind, and rendering medical aid a
necessity. Just at this time . the great
Zinguri Bitters step in ns en antidote for
for the various diseases arising from the
too free use of vegetables are exposed
ring their excessive field labor, Or to which
pleasure parties" are subjected by their
efforts to obtain enjoyment in the country.
A supply of the Bitters should bo kept on
trend for use at this particular period when
all are exposed to sickness.

IN MEMORIAM.
';Finteted into - test, on the evening of
Saturday, Feb. 20th. Mrs. JULIA WATT'S,
wife Of the late Hon, •DAVIII - WATTS:
The grave has just closed over whet v[ ' ae
mortal of one of: the most - faithful and de
voted, of the .daughters of the Church.
Ller blameless. walk and 'conversation, for
so unusual, ar:died-of mortal life; are too
well known'' by all connected with the
community in which she lived, to require
even a word to render their impression
deeper on their hearts. ,To those when
else loved best no tribute is needed; and
we are aware' that the sanctity of their
sorrow would shun oven the mcconts_of ,
friendship. But it is flttiriViluit some
memorial however brief and inadequate,
be made of suel'a life.
-‘ , The sweet rot:n(3296=os of the just
--81iall - liouriSh'whOn they sleep in dust:
Early in life;deprived of her,husband,
she yin tbd WC ri teid6tiCa; whieh were
so eminently, hers, of emSrgyand decision,,
sanctified by Divine Grace. Though
stricken low bytier bereavement, she arose

and heroically, AB well as most religiously
and gracefully, didshe mealier dptida and
perform them.
Tho Mother of twelve children,
,(eight,
of whom survive ' her), her influence was
marked and wide-spread : and in the po
sitions of honer and usefulness which they
in their turn have Ailed; this influence
has been clearly demonstrated.
With great natiyeatrength of heart and
purpose, and best of all, strong in her love
and devotion to Christ and IDS Church,
this peculiar influence ,was as thoroughly
'recognized in her home-circle, through
her declining years, to the -very close Of•
life by children and 2-sand-children, even
to the fourth generation, as well as felt by
all shout her. ,
ThOugh confined to. her bed for several
weeks before her death, her illness was not
one of acute or agonizing suffering. Her,
faculties were unclouded, and seemed to
become brighter and brighter as the earth
ly hours graw,less. Her confidence in her
Redeemer was unshaken, Surrounded by
the most &TM - ea:and loving of children,
she quietly passed froni earth to the blessed
rest that remumeth for the people of God.
On Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by
a large . number of kindred, (one only of
her children being absent, detained abroad
by'public duties), her precious remains
were borne from that house which for so
long a time had , been her borne, to St
- JoirM's.Church, where the funoro solem
.Mdeslvere held. After these were finished
sheWaS'earried to the faintly burial-place,
whore she was interred by. the side of that
Husband, whose memory she ever,y_ley,
ingLy revered.
her I In that h e me,
rn the nrcustomed. place of pram, and
everpuhnrc that see were wont to . meet
her! 'But God' be praised for the example
which she has left us!
Never weary in laboring for the Church
she so dearly loved. What a lesson her
memory will ever tough us!
But, it is well, with her. May it be as
well with us who remain, when life with
us is passed !
