disunion, as usual. He is impotent for
evil except in his vote, but he uses that
against the Union and his white constitu
ency on every occasion. I lis conduct is
infamous.
As in the Bump Senate, says the Pa
triot j- Union, the bill was declared "pass

thirds majority of a full and lawful House,
of 239 members.

and one-third 37 votes of the requisite
tiro-thirds ! 1 59 . E ven had their twelve
absent fellows voted they would have wan
ted twenty-five and one-third votes of the
all essential two thirds ! And -et the in
iquitous bill is declared "passed !"
To have passed the bill fairly and le
gally it would have required 2C out of 50
excluded votes from the eleven Southern
States a number which the Disunionists
well knew, long ago, they could never se
cure fwr such outrageous negro-suffrage
and equality legislation.
There are hundreds of thousands of
good men in the Northern States who are
hopeful that President Johnson will de
clare such "legislation" revolutionary and
so pernicious as to warrant him in com
pletely ignoring it. Not only is this their
hope, but it is their prayer, and they will
sustain him in such a course with their
blood and lives, if need be.
The President's recognition of the le
gality of the Bump Congress in matlersof
less weight; that were not unconstitu
tional ; and which were not, as is this
bill, swecpingly subversive of both State
and Federal Constitutions, cannot be cited
ugainst him in the event of such a course.
He i bound by oath and duty to sustain
the Government. Can he do so while
the Disunionists are allowed perfect free
dom in battering it down ? Shall he wait
for the Supreme Court to act a Court
hostile to him and presumed to be in the
disunion interest? Shall he stand idly
awaiting the decision of that legal engine,
unn, by the same illegal process by which
this bill was passed over his veto, he shall
have been impeached and hurled from his
position ? Wculd that be right ? Is that J
his duty to himself or his country? We
think not. Desperate diseases require
desperate cures. The life of the nation
and its Constitution are paramount so
the Disunionists taughf. us to all other
considerations. They will certainly not
demur at taking a little of their own
physic now, since they have got at "the
other end of the line." A little more of
Chandler's "blood-letting" may purify the
moral atmosphere, and teach traitors in
high places that our Constitutions State
and Federal shall not be overthrow, and
that the Union Flag shall emblazon upon

STAItS, !
Tiiadeus Stevenj- Ilarpci's IVeeJily,
which has hitherto advocated the peculiar
politics of Thaddeus Stevens with much
bitterness, has recently shifted its ground,
and gives in a late issue the following
sketch of the leader of the Badicals :
He Mr. Stevens is strictly a revolu
tionary leader, reckless, unsparing, vehe
ment, vindicate, loud for the rights of
conquerors, intolerant of opposition, and
as absolutely incapable of fine disci imina
tion and generous judgment as a locomo
tive of singing. Of a pleasant humor
and personal kindliness, he is no more fit
ted for the task of reconstruction which
devolves upon Congress than a jovail
blacksmith to repair a watch, or "a
butcher to take up hidden arteries and
sundered veins in the very region of the
heart." Yet a Congress, which is un
doubtedly one of the ablest that was ever
assembled, has quietly allowed itself to be
almost a puppet in the hands of such a
man and at such a time. The conse
quence is that Mr. Steven's crude and
rash talk is supposed to be the voice of
Congress. A legislator who undertakes
to regulate the price of gold by law is the
tacitly acknowledged chief of a body of
practical business men. A representa
tive who sneers at the press is a per
mitted leader in a party created and tri
umphant by free discussion.
It is one of the marvels of the time that
no man known as a Badical has vindica
ted the party and. the country against Mr.
Stevens. Yet nothing is more
certain than that the calm, good sense of
the great Union party has strongly con
demned the views and policy of Mr. Ste
vens. "A Blxch of Fives." Geo. Wilkes,
of the Spirit of the Times, the organ of
horse-racers,gambIers and shoulder-hitters,
quacks at the President in the following
style :
"But if no adjustment shall be made,
and the President, ignoring Congress, shall
press on the issue which we have fore
shadowed, we give him warning that the
muskets which now hang in honored ease
in every houshold north of the Potomac,
may soon be hurriedly unslung, and a ru
mor pass throughout the land which may
break into the roar of battle before this
year has closed."
It would be strange, indeed, if the men
who perilled their lives through four years
of warfare to restore the Union and main
tain the Constitution, should join with the
plunderers and demoniac fanatics in des
troying that very Union and Constitution.
Wilkes must mean the John Brown mus
kets and the arms which the Hartford
Conventionista prepared for a Northern re
bellion, but which, through cowardice,
were put away and ever since have been
hanging in dis-"honored ease." They are
not dangerous neither are the plunderers
who might chance to be their carriers in a
war against the President and the Union.

ted General Geary. He has always been
a Democrat and is yet." Mrs. Geary
certainly ought to know the nature of
John's politics. But the truth is, he
would have been willing to be the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, if the Con
vention had asked him, but as nobody
except Mr. S. Maguire proposed such a
thing, he cheerfully accepts a nomination
from the other side.

EXMT1 CF BOQSER AID IWil
Inasmuch a we intend to delay our pa
per until Friday evening, the day fixed for
the execution of Booser and Ilouser, who
have been tried and convicted of the mur
der of Polly Paul and Catharine Munday,
we commence our report on Thursday at
noon on the information in our possession,
and will continue it until the termination
of the sad scene.
IiOOSER'S CONFESSION.
Booser, one of the condemned murder
ers, on the evening of Tuesday, the 10th
instant, just previous to his attempt to
commit suicide, wrote and placed in the
hands of Bev. Wilson, of the Presbyterian
Church, his spiritual adviser, the follow
ing letter, with directions that it should be
opened and read on Wednesday :
Eisensdl-ko, Apr. 9th, 1800.
Mr. Wilson : They think they have
the odcs that done this deed, but God for
bid. They have not. Those that done
this are far away. Now, good sense and i
reason will tell you that we are not the
men, and in particular poor Houser. He
don't know anything about it whatever.
You will bear in mind I have always told
you that we had no hand in killing thoso
poor women, and I tell you so again.
We had no hand in killing them. I will
tell you, though, what I did do ; I givo
to George Blanchard my draft or map.
He lost the one he had. He had one of
the same kind as mine, and he told me he
lost his in the woods, and if he lost his the
time he was up here or not I cannot say.
He got out (of the penitentiary) before I
did, and he knew of the thing as well as
I, and I met him on Troy Hill on Sun
day, the 21st day of May, and he wanted
to know if I was going to come up here.
I told him that I had sworn off going on
the cruise and he wanted me to give him
my map, but I did not give it to him.
Then we set to meet again on the first of j
June, and again on the Cth, and on the !
afternoon of the Cth, I gave him my man. I
Now I will tell you that the men that j
were seen by James Cooper, they were
the ones. They had a carpet-sack, but no
box. Now, Mr. Wilson, the time that
Mrs. Graham saw us go away was on the
15th of June; then we had started for Oil
City. Now, please take notice I made it
my business to stay in Allegheny from the
second of June till the 9th, because I did
know that the robbery was to go on on
the 7th of June. Now you see that I
was at home at the time, and I done all
this behind poor Ilouser's back. So you
see he don't know anything of the matter
whatever. lie is innocent indeed, and as
for being up here hunting is all a humbug,
for I know it the best. He never was up i
here in all his life till the Sheriff fetched .
him here. This is the honest truth. !
And now if Mary Miller can recollect that
I told her I had to go to Pittsburgh on the
Gth of June, to meet a man. I went on
the Cth, 7th and 8th, for I was to meet
him Blanchard from his returj), but I
have not seen him since, and I never
heard anything of the robbery. I bought
the German paper, and I never found any
thing in it, and I thought he gave it up
and had not done anything.
Daniel Booser.
Booser acknowledged to thelheriff and
other persons, that he was implicated to
some extent, in the murder and robbery ;
that he furnished Blanchard ami his ac
complice with a draft of the roads, &c,
leading to the house of the victims, and j
that the real murderers and robbers were
to share the profits with him ; that the
draft was drawn from information obtain
ed from Philip Fulgert, while in the Pen
itentiary ; but he has alva3's contended
that Ilouser had no knowledge of the
murder or robbery.
application fou a respite.
On the strength of these declarations of
Booser, efforts were made by a number
of our citizens to have a respite granted to
Ilouser ; but up to Thursday at noon
their efforts have proved unavailing.
VENITANCE OF THE PRISONERS.
Ilouser has acted like a penitant man
ever since his conviction, "and appears to
have been endeavoring to make his peace
with his God. Bev. Christy of the Cath
olic church has been visiting him regu
larly.
Booser, until a few days ago, had been
visited occasionally by Bev. Wilson, of
the Presbyterian church, but manifested
a wicked disposition apparently regard
less of God or man. On Tuesday morn
ing he sent for Bov. Christy, who on
Wednesday baptised him, since which
time he and other Catholic Priests have
been with him almost constantly. The
convict, it is said, has become very peni
tant, seems to be repenting of his sins ;
prays almost incessantly, and is appa
rently at this lato day endeavoring to pre
pare himself for the fearful fate which
awaits him.
THE PREPARATIONS.
On Thursday evening the gallows and
scaffold, entire new structures, have been
erected, ropes and coffins prepared, and all
necessary preparations made for the exe
cution and disposition of both Booser and
Houser.
CONDUCT OF THE PRISONERS.
Friday at noon, April 20 Bev. B. C.
Christy and Rev. Giles Christoph wore
engaged in prayer with the prisoners dur
ing several hours last night and this fore
noon. Ilouser appears to be mucli dis
tressed at the fearful fate which awaits
him, while Booser seems to look upon the
execution as a common business transac
tion, and talks to and endeavors to recon
cile Ilouser to his fate.
THE GUARD.
A guard of armed men was placed
around the jail about 10 a. m., on Friday.
THE CROWD.
Contrary to the expectation of our cit
izens, and to the credit of the people, the
crowd in town up to the hour of execution,
is quite small not exceeding 300 or 100
visitors. Beporters for the press of Pitts
bugh, Greensburg, Johnstown and Eb
ensburg are present, and are to be admit
ted to witness the execution. At the time
the execution came off not more than liftv
persons were about the jail.
THE PRISONERS ON THE SCAFFOLD.
At twelve o'clock precisely the two
prisoners were brought on the scaffold
by the Sheriff and his assistants, accompa
nied by their spiritual advisers; the ropes
were then properly adjusted.
The prisoners whispered something to
their spiritual advisers, but said nothing
concerning their guilt or innocence that
could be heard by others.
the drop.
The arms and legs of the prisoners were
pinioned, the caps were drawn over their
faces, "and-at 11 minutes past 12 o'clock
the drop fell and they were suspended in
the air.
HOW THE PRISONERS DIED.
Booser after being suspended at the end
of the rope struggled for a few minutes
but Ilouser died without a struggle.
The bodies remained suspended for
forty-one minutes when they were pro
nounced lifeless, cut down and placed in
the collins. They are now being remo
ved to the place of burial.
BURIAL OF QUE BODIES.
Graves have been dug and the bodies of
both Booser and Ilouser are to be interred
in the Catholic cemetry one large grave
has been prepared for the reception of both
bodies.
At half past one o'clock the bodies arc
being consigned to the crave.
