EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, MAY Trial of Jeff Davis. The feeling worked up in Washington by the speeches of Steven?, wishing all the Southern people " in hell," and Senator 2sye in favor of hanging Jeff Davis with out trjing him, caused the Washington correspondent of the Hoston Traveler to write to that pnper in this way : " It is the settled purpose of certain men in high position here to have Mr. Davis executed, if it is within the range of possibility, and they are not slow in asserting that the people of the Xorth will never allow the interposition of Executive clemency." There is no question about the truth of this, for the " persons high in authority " alluded to, take no pains to corneal their feeling ; and unless we are very much mistaken the men alluded to have really r i .1: : . 1 . . 1 1 : t. louiKi a wann sympau.ier 1.1 o ut.-e 1.0- ( ln me encroachment oi t.'ie general govern derwood, before whom Davis is expected I1K.nt upon the powers cf the States and to be tried. His charge to the Grand Jury of the United States District Court of Norfolk, on Tuesday a week, was more like one of Sfevens" bloody announcements, than the calm and cautious utterances, which are expected fiom a Judge. So violent was his language that the foreman of t lie Jury asked to be excused from serving, " because he felt himself incom petent as a man of peace aud good will to all men, to handle the tools spoken of . 1 in the charge. From the charge in ques- lion it is evident that Judge Underwood is prepared to do all within power to bring the prisoner to the gallows. His vindic tive charge demonstrates this very clearly. Witliout entertaining the slightest re gard for the life of Jell'. Davis more than we do for the humblest rebel in the late rebellion, we do not think that he should be tiied in passion by individuals whose verdict is fixed before they are empanelled as jurors. His crime was a great one, but no greater than that of thousands who acted with him. lie should, therefore, be tried by the highest tribunal in the land, and if convicted then the question of in llicting punishment should be considered with caution. lie is no ordinary otlender, but no matter how heinous his ofil-ncc, will it be the true policy of the govern ment, for our future peace and dory, to inflict upon him the extreme punishment which seme are panting for? The Eng lish Government never made a greater mistake, in regard to Ireland than it did in executing Robert Emmet. That act, even now, arouses more hatred in the Irish heart against that government, than do its years of oppression of that unfortu nate people. ro well satisnea was the Rritiidi government of the blunder they made, in this execution of Emmet, that in 1848 it merely banished n few of the lead ers of the Irish revolt of that year; while O'l'RiKN the leader of the insurrection was' soon after pardoned and permitted to re turn to his home, while the rest were per mitted to escape to America. Isabella m pleading for the life of her brother, says "it is good to have the power of a giant but not to use it like a giant," so the Uni ted States government can well afford to be merciful to the fallen Southern chieftain and to all others engaged with him. A victory of mercy is what we now want, and what will assuredly win back the hearts of tho Southern eopJe. A paper from President Johnson's own State allu ding to this subject 13 very emphatic in the conviction of Davis' ultimate release, simply as a question affecting the future glory of our country. England, it says suffered Xapoleon to die in prison, and, for centuries to come, will blush at the men tion of the deed, l'laced in a parallel situation, America has it in her power to-day, to write a decree of mercy, that shall glow and brighten by contrast in coming years, as do the stars in heaven from whence all mercy comes. As every Englishman may well blush at mention of Xapoleon Donapartc at St. Helena, so if Andrew Johnson will crown his many acts of wisdom with this noble act of mercy every American may proudly point to it as the noblest achievment of the great republic. Fittsbitrjh Fost. C3" Gen. Rosecrana delivered a speech at the Johnson policy ratification meeting in Brooklyn on the 2."th ult. This is an other distinguished soldier who spurns the negro platform upon which Geary stands, and were he a citizen of this State his voice and vote would bo against tho dis union candidate. ,: G3" The Louisville Journal thinks the South has the best of it after all it being ?t-represented; while the North is mis represented. Five thousand families have left Aus tria for Mexico. Ex-Senator Browning on the Presi dent's Policy. Ex-Senator Browning, of 111., has pub lished a long and able letter in the Quiney lla-ald, reviewing President Johnson's pol icy. Ift contains these forcible words: One of the greatest perils which threat en us now is the tendency to centralization, the absorption of the rights of the States, and the concentration of all power in the general government. When that shall be accomplished, if ever, the days of the re public arc numbered. Constitutional gov ernment will be supplanted by a central ized despotism, to be succeeded in time by revolution, disintegration and monarchy. Within their constitutional spheres the States are sovereign, supreme as the gen eral government in its sphere ; and safety is to be found only by confining each strict ly to its appropriate orbit. The thinner is . . r . the tendencies of all in that direction. The J States are powerless to invade the domain of the federal government, and it is vital fr the nresprvrititin nf nur juTmirnhlo form of Government that the States shall be ful- j ly protected in the possession and exercise of ill their constitutional rights, functions and powers. If the federal government usurp them, the constitution, which the fa thers of the republic framed with so much . ! :o 1 ...:- .!. .. . r VlS creation, and will -no longer protect the rights it was intended to secure. And concludes with these I regard the spcerly restoration of the Southern States to their constitutional re lations to the federal government as vital to our salvation. It is necessary to save us from financial disaster, and to rescue us from political destruction. Wo are in no condition to maintain a large standing army to govern the South ern States as conquered provinces, which will have to be done if they are forced out of the Union. It is necessary to enable us to maintain our credit and meet our pecuniary obliga tions, w hich we must meet fully, fairly, and honestly, or be degraded. Let the States be restored, and indus try, business, and commerce revived, and the legitimate revenues to be derived from them will be a hundred fold more in value than sdl the confiscations that have been or ever will be made. In addition to this, collision with a powerful foreign nation is always a possi ble thing. Should it come now it would find us, as a disunited and inharmonious people, in a poor condition to meet it. Difficulties and dangers environ on every hand, and I am sure that the Presi dent's po'icy opens the best and safest way out of them. What reason then for post poning the day of unity and fraternity ? They will give us strength to stand against (he world, and light to guide us in the on ward career of greatness and glory. Without them we will surely go down in darkness of despotism, or the shame and confusion of anarclry. Truly 3'otir friend, O. II. liuowNrxG. The Cost of Freeing the Negro. Paper is made in Europe at one-third the price that it costs to make it here. This is owing to the loss of our cotton crop, to the monstrous tariff and other taxes, all of which sire the legi'imate fruits of the negro-freeing war. I low much now, Mr. Republican, do you think you have made by it ? You could have had the Union by adopting the Crittenden Compromise, but you would not. You said "let us have some blood-letting," and the result is now before us. No one can be so besotted as to believe now that you carried on the war lor the Union, for you refuse to have the Union, though the war has been over with for a year! It is evident now to a child that your war was inaugurated and carri ed on to secure the ascendency of Aboli tion principles to break down the dis tinctions of race to mongrelize the coun try. To do it, you have sacrificed the interests of thirty millions of white people, mado clothing, books, newspapers, &c., dear. You have rivitcd the chain3 of ignorance on millions of white children, who will bo deprived of education, books, &c, in order to allow negroes to do noth ing and contract disease and die ! You are a "pretty party of progress" ain't you." C3" The Commissioners, J. II. Uriggs, Thomas Jordan and II. N. M'Alister, appointed to assess the losses sustained by the people of Chambersburg, by the burn ing, have finished their labors and made their report to tho Auditor General. They make the aggregate losses $1,725,-171.58. 24, 1866. Black vs. Blue. Gen. Geary, the Disunion candidate for Governor, is now the leader of the "cullud brigade." He has deserted the "boys in blue," in order to take charge of the boys in black! He is the candidate of the Kump Congress which docs nothing but legislate for the negro and which de clares the Union to be composed of but twenty -jice States. Grant and Sherman; Meade and Hancock slick to first princi ples ; they are for the Hag with thirty-six Slavs upon it and for the Union with thirty-six States included within its limits. They, also, stick to the boys in blue, and disdain to lay o!f their battle-harness to clothe themselves in black to serve the pur poses of ofiice greeting. Not so Geary. He is for the Thud. Stevens' Kump Union of twenty-live States, for the Sumnrr mu tilated ilag of twenty-five stars, lie has laid aside his uniform of true blue, and donned the black of the Freedmen's 15u- reau and the saddic-color cf the Xegro 1 Civil Rights Hill. While G rant and Sher ' man, Meade and Hancock stand by A li drew Johnson, who is the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the Uni- tcd State5 GcaiT opposes him and suffers himself to be used as a tool in the hards of the disunionist, Thad. Stevens, in the interest of the conspiracy of the Rump Congress against that noble patriot. There is a direct issue, therefore, between Geary, the leader of the boys in black, and the friends of the patriots who fought for-a Union of Fiirty-six Stales and under a Hag of thirty -six stars, the soldier citizens, the boys iii blue. The Church Establishment in Ireland. In a recent speech in the House of Commons on the Irish Church supplies it was indisputably shown that cut of a population of G,S00,000, less than 700, 000 are Protestants. Yet this minority monopolizes the religious endowment of the island. This is a monstrous state of things, which it is impossible to justify or excuse. There are 4,500,000 Roman Catholics in Ireland and only 700,000 Protestants. The Protestant Church is rich, she has decreased in influence and in the number of her adherents. Even in Ulster the Roman Catholics number more than half of the population the Estab lished Church being a fraction over twen ty per cent. Yet Ulster is the Protestant province. Wc also find that in the other provinces of Ireland the preponderance of Roman Catholics is overwhelming. In Connaught where poverty may be seen in its bitterest forms the Church Estab lishment cannot claim one-twentieth part of the inhabitants. In Munster the pro portion is only one per cent, more ; and while the Pr3testants cannot show any ad vance, the Catholics have increased in pro portion to the Establishment, albeit nearly all the Irish emigrants have been Catho lics. The system of endowing an established Church lias been conclusively proved to be a crying injustice, and it should have been removed long ago. Although we are di rectly opposed to the upholding of a State Church, still, if religious endowments arc to exist in Ireland, there can be no reason why the endowment should not be extend ed in fair proportion to the Catholics, who are nine-tenths of the population. The ascendency of the endowed establishment is an injustice, a tyranny, a living symbol of the oppression w hich has caused such bitter hatred for England in the hearts of Irishmen. We are the more surprised at this bigoted intolerance cn the part of the Drith government w hen we reflect on the many remarkable evidences of the loyalty of the Irish priesthood and their endeav ors to prevent any outbreak in the Fenian ranks. Age. The Dates of Secession. For gener al information we publish Ixdow the dates of secession of the Southern States from the Union: South Carolina seceded Dec. 20, 1SG0. Mississippi seceded January 9, 1SG1. Alabama seceded January 11, 18G1. Florida seceded January 11, 1SG1. Georgia seceded January 19, 18G1. - Louisiana seceded January 2G, 1SG1. Texas seceded March 4, 18G1. Virginia seceded April 24, 18G1. North Carolina seceded May 21, 18G1. Tennessee seceded June 9, 1SG1. C5T The Democracy of Wilksbarre re cently elected J. Ik Stark, Rurgess, by a majority of 381. The town heretofore went "Republican ! " Negroism is bleach ing out about as rapidly in Pennsylvania as could be expected. -ST Forty years ago the whole expenses of the general government amounted to very little wore than is now appropriated to the support of the negroes and to keep agitation afloat. VOL. 13-NO.M. Freedmen's Bureau. Complaints from all quarters now find public utterance against the conduct of those who have charge of the poor blacks in the South. The shocking cruelties al leged to have been practiced in Andcrson ville, for which Winz paid the penalty of his life, are shamed by those enacted, par ticularly in North Carolina at the present nioment. "Atone point in North Carolina it ap pears a settlement of four thousand blacks exists in a condition truly deplorable. They live in huts containing a single room, in which large families are huddled to gather. This settlement was recently scourged by smallpox, and the most horri fying scenes occurred during the ravages of the disease. The government commis sioners report that this settlement is presi ded over by Rev. Mr. Titz, formerly an army chaplain, and that this agent has ex ercised the most arbitrarv' and despotic i power, and "practiced revolting and un heard of cruelties on the helpless frocdnn n under his charge." Among the man)' acts of cruelty com mitted by Superintendent Firz, the com missioners found that he had it two in stances suspended frcedmen with cord- around their waists, their feet not touching the floor, and kept them in this position in one case fuur, in the other case six hours ; that he sentenced a frecdman to an impris onment for three months for a tmial of fence, that of wrangling with his wife. He kept another man, who was arrested for debt, shut up in the block house the prison for months, while his wife and two children, reduced to abject destitution, died with the small pox, and took hini from the prison under guard and compell ed him to bury his last child in the cradle in which it died. On another occasion, when cn; of his. guards reported to him that a colored wo man had spoken disrespectfully of him without even inquiring what the woman had said, he ordered her to be imprisoned until the next morning at nine o'clock, when she should be brought before him to answer for the indignity. In one instance he imprisoned six children for ten days for playing in the streets on the Sabbath day. lie imposed a fine of sixty dollars upon an aged ficedman for having tcld another frecdman that he was about to be arrested by Mr. Fitz. The poor old man, not having the money to pay the fine, was im prisoned until the next day, when his son paid the same, w ith three dollars addition al as jail fees. The commissioners enu merate many other instances in which this arbitrary power is exercised b' some of the officers and agents of the Rurcau. as at present operated in Virginia and Xorlh Carolina, tends to create prcdjudice against the government, is of no practical benefit to the blacks, and they recommend that the present officers be withdrawn. t53 Some years ago a gentleman of Norfolk, Va., had a fine negro, to whom he gave the privilege of hiring himself out and keeping one half the wages. One day the negro came home to his master to tell him that the man to whom he had been working, wished to buy him, and would give eight hundred dollars for him. "Well," replied the master, "what of that ? I don't want to sell." "Rut you see, massa," said Sam, 'T'se had a bad cough for some time, and specs I'm gwinc into de sumption. I don't spec I shall last more dan two years, and I'd like to take dat man in. tT A little four year old pet stood looking out of the window the other day, when an expressman stopped just opposite and tied up the horse's tail, to prevent itn trailing in the mud. She watched the op eration intently and then called out eager ly : "Oh, see Annie! the spressman is making a waterfall for his horse ! " Very Good The Toledo, Blade in referring to the decapitation of olfice-hold-ers by the President Itecausc of the non support of his policy, quoted these two lines for the benefit of ofiice-holders in that locality : "Ye living men come view the ground Where you must shortly lie." Wmi-E a carriage, containing six ne groes, was passing through the streets of Memphis on the 4th instant, two days after the riots, one of the occupants drew a pistol and fired at the captain of an en gine company standing on the sidewalk, barely missing his head. -Recause Senator Jim Lane voted against the Civil Rights bill the Kansas Horder Sentinel was led to exclaim : "Poor, God-forsaken wretch ; may hell's hottest hole receive him soon." They u?e mild language in Kansap, if this is an average specimen. II
