one, because it would be an anomaly to
receive members from any States in this
House, when in the Senate its laws
were found to cause a delay in the re
ception of Senators, and vice versa.—
The houses are acting separately and
respectively in this matter as in all oth
ers; joint reports only enabling them to
present the question more speedily end
harmoniously.
" Admit each district to representa
tion, is the demand. Sir, it is the State
which sends Senators, and the Legisla
ture of the State which elects them. It
is the State to which we must guarantee
a republican form of government. It
was by State conventions the people as
sembled to reorganize, not by districts.
We are judging how far the work of re
organization- is good. State lines are
not obliterated, though the false doc
trine of State rights is. The claimants
from Tennessee, by memorial to us, tell
how their State has been organized.—
They "submit that the said govern
ment, in form as well as in spirit, is re
publican, and they ask that the same be
recognized and its perpetuity guaran
teed as the true and proper government
of the State of Tennessee ;" not that
they should be admitted by districts and
our duty to their State shirked. And
here let me say I hope the day is near
when this recognition and guarantee
shall be given. Tennessee furnished
thirty thousand gallant soldiers to the
Union army, several of whom are elect
ed to seats here. She was excepted hi
the proclamation of emancipation; but
one of the first acts of her Legislature
was to ratify the "constitutional amend
ment" by a unanimous vote ; and while
her functions, or those of any State fully
organized before the war ended, might
be restored before a change in the basis
of representation is finally ratified 'by
the States, I believe she would adopt
that, too.
She (as well as Maryland and Missouri)
excludes rebels from voting till a tern
of years shall have naturalized, if not
nationalized them. Above all, her laws
—so the committee seem to report—have
accepted the issue of the war and embo
died its results.
" I hope I have disposed of tile ques
tion of receiving members by districts.
But if gentlemen desire to be technical
—and I did not—if powers exercised
with an honest purpose are questioned
because the two houses, the Congress,
are doing what It is contended each
house should do separately, let me add,
that from the insurrectionary States or
ganized since the rebellion ceased, there
has not perhaps been a single member
elected to this House constitutionally,
or who could take his seat, if the Su
preme Court instead of ourselves had to
determine the question. Article one,
section two, of the Cqnstiti on, prescribes
that,
" ' When vacancies happen in the rep
resentation from any State, the execu
tive authority thereof shall issue writs
of election to fill such vacancies.'
"If it be alleged that the Southern
members left by districts, and so may
return to their places, I answer that the
Executive of the State must issue the
writs of election. If, on the other hand,
as the President well says, in his several
proclamations appointing provisional
governors, the rebellion "has, in its
revolutionary progress, deprived the
people [of each State) of all civil gov
ernment," such government must bees
tablished anew. The President direct-,
ed conventions to be chosen by the loy
al people in each such State, with au
thority " to present such a republican
form of` State government as will enti
tle the State to the guarantee of the
United States therefor." Surely it can
1/44.11&..111ILLITith the S : not yet
trict a State, or order elections for mem
bers of the national legislature.
" Yet in all these States save one there
was such haste to obtain power again,
they could not wait till an Executive
was elected, but the writs were issued
under the provisional governors, and
the elections ordered without law by the
conventions. The North Carolina cer
tificates are even signed by "W. W.
Holden, Provisional Governor." In S.
Carolina the Legislature ordered the
election, but there was no Executive to
sign the law ; and it cannot even be
supported under their old laws, as the
convention had re-districted the States.
In Virginia, fourteen delegates and six
senators, calling themselves a Legisla
ture, not only changed the time of elec
tion for members of Congress, but as
sumed the duties which, under long
settled usage, belong only to a conven
tion called for the purpose, and changed
their Constitution.
" The accusation of delay may be still
better appreciated, when I state that,
except from Tennessee, Arkansas, and
one or two from Louisiana, there are
very few of those sent hero who could
take " the iron-clad oath," if the doors
were thrown open to them.
"Is Texas denied representation ?
Thus far no Governor or member of
Congress has been elected in this State,
where Generals Howard and Gregory
tell us slavery virtually still exists. Her
convention is only now in session.
" What of Georgia, which -tends as
Senators,Alexander H. Stephens, the
Vice President of the Confederacy, and
Herschel V. Johnson, of the Rebel Sen
ate. Her provisional governor telegraph
ed to the President, "No members of
Congress elected can take the oath."—
Do we deny representation to her, or has
she paralyzed herself?
" And Mississippi, which, after elect
ing as Governor a Confederate Major
General, who was pardoned to enable
him to take the office, passed laws so
violative of equal liberty under the Con
stitution and equal right before the law,
that the President instructed Gen. Tho
mas to disregard them?
" What of Virginia. which restored
Rebels to the right of suffrage, and
whose unjust vagrant laws, founded too
on a previous agreement among the
planters to keep down wages, Gen. Ter
ry had to set aside?
" How is it'iv - Ith South Carolina,
whose Legislature, after repeated re
quests from the President to repudiate
the rebel debt, took good care to adjourn
without doing so, having provided that
' persons of color shall be known as
servants and those they contract with
as masters?'
"And Alabama, whose Executive is
Governor Patton, the Confederate cot
ton loan agent, and whose aristrocatic
and anti-republican laws, almost re-en
acting slavery, among other harsh in
flictions impose an imprisonment of
three months and a fine of $lOO upon any
one owning fire-arms, and a fine of $5O
and six months imprisonment on any
servant or laborer (white or black) who
loiters away his time, or is stubborn or
refractory ?
" Can Florida complain ? By an or
dinance of the convention, adopted No
vember 4, 1865, a vagrant in that State
shall be punished by a fine not exceed
ing $5OO and imprisoned for a term not
exceeding twelve months, at the discre

FOR GOVERNOR
MAJ. - - GEN. JOHN W. GEARY,
OF cvmsEp.LAND COUNTY
We are obliged to Hon. ELI SLIFER
forst copy of the c teneral Laws passed
at the late session of the Legislature.
Gen. Hartranft has isisued a call to
the -soldiers of Peimsylvinia to meet in
convention in the'city of Pittsburg; on
Tuesday, the fifth, day of Time next, at
ten o'clock, A. M.'
This call is addressed to the , honora
bly discharged soldiers of the State.—
The maximum number of delegates
from each Assembly district is fixed at
five, and the wanner of electing the
delegates is left to the soldiers them
selves.
We most respectfully urge the soldiers
of Tioga and Potter counties to be rep
resented in that Convention without
fail. Probably a lair pioportion would
be three delegates from Tioga and two
from Potter. The election may be held
at the Court House during the first day
of Court, on the •28th instant, or other
wise, if thought better. But let Tioga
county be represented by three of the
brave men who served in the war of the
rebellion.
T*E PRESIDENT'S AXEMAN
President Johnson, like most egotists,
forgets that all the world h*s more than
one neck. •In cutting off the heads of
federal officeholders, he evidently sup-
poses that he punishes, or intimidates,
the American people who do n t up..
hold his policy of the immediate admis
sion of the rebel States. d
Not so, Mr. President. Those hold
ing patronage within your -gift, consti
tute but a small portion of the Ameri
can people. Remove every one who
cannot reckon the worth of his princi
ples in the currency of patronage—and
those only will be removed, of course—
and the vast body of the people are still
untouched and unterrified.
Does it occur to the intelligent and
independent voters of the loyal States,
that President Johnson, in applying the
axe to win support, pays them a doubt
ful compliment? What is it but to say
that John Smith can be bought with
some small office, salary from, $lO to
$lOO, and so on?
If that be the price of "John Smith's"
support, how much has the President
made byAg g y vi e ?
JIIIII7XIC - ITUlDC — 'zircraaavrx - cr.
He is not a man to command votes. A
man who puts his principles in the mar
ket, is soon known and despised as a
mercenary.
So Senator Cowan threatens to demor
alize and debauch the Republican party,
by such means, does he? Mr., Cowan
makes a blunder common to men of his
caliber—he measures other men ty him
self. That measure dwarfs mankind,
and reduces the freemen of Pennsylva
nia to the grade of scavengers. The
status of Edgar Cowan, as every man
who'llnows him knows, is not the stat
us of untrameled manhood. As a Sen
ator, he is one of the class who enter
public life with a great noise of trum
pets, and go out with a noise very like
a boy's tin whistle. Five years in the
Senate of the United States, and yet un
able to command the respect and atten
tion of even the CopPerheadel in that
august holly ! Next to Garret Davis, he
can clear the galleries quicker than any
man there. Vulgar in his manhers, un
dignified, self-conscious in a degree that
forces him to smirk like
_a silly girl, he
rises in his place to cavil in loud tones,
andl.eason from small beginnings upto
an inverted pyramidal muddle.
From his adVent in the Senate Cham-.
ber, he has been groping after Webster's
mantle. He looks for it in every place
where it cannot be; for Webster's man
tle did not fall:to Mr. Cowan's level. It
is above the Senator ; and a century of
stretching will not enable the Senator
to reach up to the shelf where it lies,
covered with the dust of tithe,
But he will shine in his new vocation.
However much we differ with the Pres
ident in opinion, we admire his won
derful knowledge of men. Had he been
privileged to choose from the entire ar
ray of dirty-work men, he could not
have made a better selection than Ed
gar Cowan. The Senator will decapi
tate the postmaster at Bungtown, salary
Si 50, with as much formal grandeur as
the Sultan bowstrings his Premier. We
are obliged to the President ''for giving
him work according to his capacity.—
For nearly five years he has been lite
rally without occupation, save the dull
business of posturing like a jockey.
We cut the. following from a copy of
the Richmond Examiner of the 4th in
stant, a copy of which has been sent us
"We have received many letters from Northern
correspondents assuring ne that we are not without
sympathy in those Inimical regions. ♦ few days since
we were surprised by a communication from Mixtown,
Tiogn county, Pennsylvania, with a request to publish,
that exceeds in Its expressions anything that we have
dared to utter, and the writer wiil understand that we
do not print his letter simply from prudential reasons.
Ile gives un account of bow persons friendly to the
South were treated in the State of New York, where
thirty dollars not only made a man a patriot, but a
powerful inquisitor, able to persecute to the bitter end
anybody who honestly wished to remain neutral. lie
expresses a wish (whichwe think will soon become gen
eral amongst tile people) to replace the negroes in their
normal condition of slavery, and utters some very in
dignant protests againdt the Congressional policy of ig
noring the fundamental rights of States. We thank
our correspondent for lit, manly expressions, and hope
that the sentiments he proclaims moy ultimately pre
vail in spite of party tactics and sectional prejudices."
Perhaps we can ' help the Examiner
man out. The author of the substance
of the foregoing paragraph is probably
a deserter, and disfranchised therefor
by a late act of the Assembly of this
State. The Examiner man must not
count upon the revolution of public sen
timent IA Tioga county through the in-
EMEME
finer& of such fell A l'..a::,.iirobably the
writer is connected - wit - la:a gang of horse
thieves and counterfeiterS, though we
cannot positively
,say it. His name we
do not know; but.if furnished, he will
be handed down to an admiring poster
ity as the last of the pro-slavery Ro
mans. Tioga county is'good for 3,000
majority against replacing the negroes
in slavery. It will first vote to enslave
rebels.and their sympathizers.
Dr. ?ALMON` JOHN, the able and eh
ergetic editor of the Columbia' County
Republican, has been removed from the
office of Assessor of the Bradford col
lection district. This act of. prnscrip
don' should stamp every Republican
connected with it with infamy. No
man in Pennsylvania has fought a stou
ter battle for the dominance of Repub
lican principlesthan Dr. John. Honest
and incorruptible, he could nut be bribed
tuto a support of the disgraceful sum
mersault of Andrew . Johnson. So, not
being in market, the half-breed Repub
licans of Columbia county cast about
for some one who . estimated his princi
ples as men. - do potatoes—at so much;
cash.
They found their man in Robert J.
Clark; a man who has been for sale
from tlie day of his majority. The ques
tion was about the price. At last the
public has a reliable market report from
that quarter. Mr. Clark considers him
self worth about $l5OO a year. A mod
est estimate, truly,. - But if liis purcha
sers think the price reasonable, nobody
will grumble. The quotation at laSt ac
counts stood:
Robert J. Clark, price, $l5OO.
There has been a bloody riot in Mem
phis, Tennessee, the precise cause of
which does not seem to be known. The
effect of the riot is not so difficult of as
certainment, as it is written in the in
discriminate murder and maiming of
negroes, and the destruction of every
church and school house used by colored
people.
We are not, prepared to blame the
whites of the South overmuch for this
wholesale destruction of churches and
school houses. These institutions are
deadly enemies of the spirit, as well as
of .the form of slavery. It is the devil
ish spirit of slavery which put the torch
to the negro churches and school houses
of Memphis. It is that spirit which
threatens to involve the land in violence
through the corruption of the Execu
tive and the feeble ambitions of. the
Cabinet. Shall it succeed ? After so
many years of war to put down this spi
rit, will the people permit it to rule
again ?
The duty of every freeman is plain.
Whatever may be tolerated in Mem
phis, or Washington; every freeman
owes it to himself to say that neither
injustice nor unmanly prejudice shall
be permitted to warp his judgment, or
cause him to waver one jot in the line
of duty.
We announce with pleasure the adop-
C 11....
Reconstruction by the House of Repre
sentatives, on Thursday of last week.—
The vote on its adoption was 128 to 37
more than the required two-thirds ma
jority.
This vote was obtained after a full and
free discussion, in which everyman had
the opportunity to speak, pro and con.
Every member elected as a Republican
voted for it, including Raymond, of N.
York.
The report - adopted is precisely the
same as that published in this paper
last week. If it has any fault, it is too
lenient. It would have suited, us better
had it shut outfrom the ballot-box every
man who held a commission in the rebel
army. We insist that treason is a high
er crime than murder, and shall always
So insist, no matter whether the author
ities finally pardon everylraitor or not.
SENATOR Wthsori expressed a sharp
truth the other day, when he said that
there - were not Johnson Republicans
enough in both Houies of Congress to
fill one side of a streetcar. Johnson
Republicans are a scarce article every
where ; but Johnson " Democrats" are
as thick as toads after a summer shower.
So hurry up the new party, Mister
Cowan. " Boughten goods are better
than no goods." -
There is a little question to be decided
by the people. It is—shall the traitors,
and their allies, be admitted to the halls
of Congress, that they may destroy the
party which saved the government from
destruction? That is the question. Are
you ready for it?
113a31h Oongnms--ht Session.
A bill to authorize a five per cent. .30
years' loan, to extinguish the existing
debt of the nation, bas been introduced
in the Senate. An amendment to the
Post Office appropriation bill, prohibit
ing the payment of appointees during
a recess of Congress; was carried in the
Senate. The bill as amended was next
day recalled by the Senate, and time for
reconsideration fixed.
Thebill for the adinission of Colorado
into the Union as a State has passed both
Houses, and awaits the signature of the
President. It is said that he will veto
the bill, in order to keep two more Sen
ators hostile to "my policy" from tak
ing their seats.
A bill reviving the grade of General
was passed by the House on the 4th inst.
The President sent in a message with
information touching the number of
pardons granted rebels. The number
is upward of 7,000.
The House, on the 7th, was at work
on the Internal Revenue bill. It is
probable that many taxes will be re
duced, and some abolished altogether.
Incomes under $l,OOO will probably be
exempted in 1867. The tax will be re
duced on iron, and all its manufactures,
on agricultural implements, barrels,
casks, boxes, boots 'and shoes, petrole
um, paints and oils, starch, soda, pot
ash, copper, lead, tin, gloves and mit
tens,
clothing, paper, books, coal, soap,
steel, stoves, sheet iron, slaughtered an
imals, freights, stamps, salt, tobacco,
wrong,) picture frames, etc., etc.—
Making an estimated' reduction of $12,-
000,000 on the entire revenue from direct
taxes.
The Congress is seemingly in earnest
about reducing the expenditures for pub
lic_ printing.
The report of the Reconstruction Com-
mittee is being temperately discussed in
both Houses: - The speecnet are limited
to thirty minutes in the House; and up
wards of sixty members are booked for
the debate. Each wants his full half
hour. - The whole matter will evidently
be thoroughly discussed before the vote
on its adoption is pressed. - -
" To err is human, to forgive divine."
That will do as for sentiment. it rounds
up a period in smooth style. But its
logic is far from being unimpeachable.
It will be remembered that during the
dark days of the rebellion, the country
was shocked by the cold-bloqiied butch
ery of Major General Edwin McCook,
a brave - Onion General, near Murfrees
boro, Tennessee. Gen. McCook was be
ing carried through the country in an
ambulance, having been severely woun
ded in action. While so proceeding,
the escort was ambushed by guerillas;
tinder one Frank Gurney, who, with his
own hand, put Gen. McCook to
_death.
Gurney was finally captured, tried and
convicted, and sentenced to death.
The President has just pardoned the
filurderer. We submit that such for
giveness does not savor much of the di-
Five desperadts were recently con
victed of assassinating United States
soldiers near Charleston, South .Caroli
na. The President has just pardoned
them—all. f
The case ) , summed up, stands with the
President thus :
Clemency for themail robber, gueril
la, and murderer of Union soldiers.
Proscription of every , - man' who will
not endorse "my policy."
Mona', : Murder, robbery, violation
of the laws - of war, are pardonable: dif
ferences of opinion as to policy are un
pardonable. "
RIMARKABLID LONGEirITY.—Mr. L. H.. Elliott,
of Richmond township, writes ns as follows :
" Seeing in a late number of the Agitator a no
tice ol a remarkable family, I thought I could
mention one more remarkable for age than that.
"I shall be, if I live, 72 years old Melina day
of June next, and am the middle one of a family
of eleven brothers and sisters, all living; the
oldest is 83, and the youngest 80. Four of them
live in Tioga county, six in Bradford county, and
the other lives in Columbia county, N. Y."
We congratulate Mr.,Elliott upon his having
carried with him, past " three score and ten," the
steady nerves which must have guided his pen in
writing the above. The handwriting is excellent,
every letter distinct; and what is better, and
more than can be said of many younger persons'
the orthography is faultless. '
[For the Agitator.]
THE CULTURE OP CORP. --Mr. Editor: As I
see that farmers are requested to give their expe
rience in raising crops, I will just jot down my
practice in raising corn, which I think a very
good one; and you may publish it if you think
proper.
In the first place, clean out the barnyard, hog
pen, and all places on the farm that contain ma
nure—for it is gold, if properly used. Put at the
rate of forty or fifty good loads to the acre, on
oat stubble, (not plowed in the fall,) or on any
other land that is pretty well exhausted by con
tinual cropping. Spread evenly, and plow imme
diately, thereby saving all the gases; drag tho
roughly, lengthwise of the farrows, and if still
lumpy, pass the roller over it. Then mark it
with a marker, so that the rows will be about 3i
feet apart each way. As soon as the blades are
two or three inches above ground, dress the corn
n eo t tgu a g er. le nt;
cultivator through each way, and hoe, without
billing much. Keep it clean of weeds and grass,
The more the cultivator is used in dry weather,
thebetter. When the stalks are two or three feet
high, run thetorn plow through each way, twice
in a place, and hoeing is done. In an ordinary
eeason,the yield of both corn and fodder will be
enough to satisfy any reasonable man, and the
land is well prepared for another rotation of crops.
