cost six hundred and thirteen dollars to
provide for his family: That infamous
Eurow made me pay for their rashuns all
winter. He asked indignantly if this
wuz or wuz not a free country in which
such things wuz permitted. And the
Abolishun Postmaster at the Corners
approved the tyranikie action. He de
manded his removal.
U
conceive it to be unnecessary to sub
mit further testimony. I know not
what luck your other Commissioners
may have met with in taking testimony
on this subject, but in this vicinity there
cant be no doubt that there cant be that
love for thel3-overnment without which
free institushuns wont flourish to any
alarmin extent until this monster is
squelched. The testimony is uanitnous,
and them ez I've examined are repre
sentative men.
You may have notist also the singular
Unqnimity with which they all bore tes
timony to the necessity_ uv a change in
the Post Office at the Corners: I en
dorse all they say on this question : con
siderin that that change is ez necessary
in the great work nv pacify in and eon
siliashun ez is the removal uv the Bu
-row. ' In case a change is made, I would
say fop your guidance that I have been
warmly solicited by my friends to ac
cept the posishun, and to pacify em her
at last yielded a reluctant consent. The
fact that I never served in the Confede
rit army
,may be an objecshun, but to
offset that I voted for Vallandyganum
twice.

If possible send me a pardon at the
same time you send me my commishun
as Postmaster, for if the Post Office dont
pay, I may want to run for 'sum other
office, in which event that document
would be essenshal to my success.

The 'Memphis Riot.
The following letter is from a highly
respectable citizen of Memphis.
truth is vouched for by high military
authority
`llE3rPiris, May 2, 1866.
" Hon. W. G. Bnowimow :—Dear Sir
—Within the last twenty-four hours
scenes have transpired in this city which
will send a thrill of horror throughout
the Union. The diabolical spirit which
has been manifested by the rebel negro
hating party, is enough to make one
ashamed of his race. For a long time
the Irish police have been only too glad
to get an opportunity to " kill a nig
ger." Anything was su fficient to cause
the arrest of one, and five dollars could
procure his release, according to report.
The colored people have hated them,
very naturally, and some of the colored
soldiegs would fight them. Yesterday
some colored troops were paid off, and
got into a row with the police. One or
two were killed on both sides, and then
the police called for help, and went into
;in in discriminate slaughter of the blacks
—especially the soldiers wherever found.
From all that I can learn, twenty-five
dr thirty blacks have been killed, near
ly all of them without the least provo
cation. On several of our streets last
evening, if a black man appeared, qui
etly going home from his day's labor,
he was immediately followed and shot'
at, and in manyinstances most brutally
treated. The wicked ferocity of the
mob stopped not with the colored men ;
several colored woliaen were killed.—
Last evening, on South street, some
were shot, their houses broken open,
trunks robbed, &c. A little girl went to
a store this morning, who left her mo
ther dying from a stab received from a
white man last night. One colored wo
man was shot down on 'Union street
this morning, for nothing. A white
woman told me this morning that three
colored men were shot down near her
gate for no provocation whatever. The
poor fellows had no arms. One of them
said ; "Don't shoot me, gentlemen ! I
have had nothing to do with any dis
turbance." But the police cried out—
" Shoot him!" And at once three balls
were fired into him, and he fell there - and
groaned before her gate until 12 o'clock
at night, when he died. This morning
a man came out of his house and shot
down two negroes without the least oc
casion. The hellish spirit manifested
by many of the old rebels, has been
shocking in the last degree. They are
only too glad to get a chance to kill a
nigger. They were out on the street
with revolvers in their hands, ready to
kill at once. This I saw myself. A re
port was started this morning that the
freedmen's teachers started the riot.—
An old traitor grumly asked me if it
was true. Another scoundrel, who ought
long since to have had the halter, told
me that if he had his way, he "would
begin with the folks who had been prea
ching up these things and putting arms
into their hands." All this, you will
perceive is significant. Loyal people
here are not considered safe on the
streets to-day; but I have kept about
anti gathered other facts, which I need
not here mention. This whole matter
has been little else than a second Fort
Pillow massacre.
Grant Compared to a Butcher
The Chicago Times is one of the most
loud-mouthed advocates of Johnson's
reconstruction policy. It elevates the
President as an example of everything
that is great and patriotic, although it
spent four years in denouncing every
loyal man in the land. The Times don't
like Gen. Grant. It was this valiant
hero that destroyed the hope of rebel
dom and its truckling sympathizers.—
It finds a great parallel between Probst,
the inhuman butcher of the Deering
family, and the Lieutenant General.—
Here is the comparison :
" Probst wanted the $30 1 3 and. the
boots; Grant wanted Richmond. The
Deering family stood in the way of the
money, and the rebel army in the way
of 'Richmond. Probst murdered all the
persons who could prevent his theft ;
Grant did the same. Probst did no
more than Grant—but as to the atrocity
of his act was fully equal to him. Gen.
Grant's motive was as criminal as that
of Probst ; and to accomplish his suc
cess, be murdered more people, and as
malignantly as Probst. The two men
are classed together—equal in crime,
and entitled to the same honors and
fame in the estimation of their country.
As Grant is awarded higher honors by
a grateful country for his deeds than
have been awarded to his comrades, so
Probst, it insists, should be exalted and
honored above all other murderers ex
cept Grant."
It thus closes its comparison between
Grant and Probst : •
"He (Probst) needs honors of some
sort. It would be an insufficient ac
knowledgment to make him a Briga
dier General of murderers. A Major
Generalship in the grades of slaughter
Would be beneath bis deserts. We must
look higher. He outranks the regular
and highest of the customary official
distinctions. He should be at the very
least a Lieutenant General."
Major Gen. Thomas Mifflin, of the
Revolutionary A.rmy, was a Governor
of Pennsylvania. Major Gen. John
W. Geary will be Governor of the same
Commonwealth. The former fought to
establish the Union, the latter to pre
serve it. They deserve equal honors,
And they shall have them.

GEN. LEWIS Cass ' died• at his home
in Detroit, on the morning of the lith
inst. Re was past eighty.
We last week neglected to mention,
the fact, that new evidence of the power
and privilege of departed spirits to re=
turn to this visible world, was'pri3duced
in Washington the other day. Mr.
Grinnell, of lowa, baying transcended
the rules of Congressional debate in
some personal remarks upon Mr. Rous
seau, of Kentucky, three days thereaf
ter the spirit of Bully Brooks obsessed
Mr. Rousseau, and proceeded to ratan
Mr. Grinnell in one of the corridors of
the capitol. No damage was done. But
it will comfort, bad men to learn that
death, to them, is not annihilation. .
TWO CHATIA.OTERIS
It sometimes happens that a neigh
borhood is the home of two very oppo
site characters.
'Mr. Flawpick is always_ in a pucker
about something or -somebody. The
taxes are too high, money too scarce,
and hdiesty at, a discount. Mr. Good
will, who lives next door to him, rises
early, gets to work at once, and by the
time Flawpick has rolled over in bed,
preparatory to getting up, and emitted
his matutinal growl about universal ex
travagance and dishonesty, has earned
enough to pay his taxes and buy Flaw
pick's breakfast.
Mr. Goodwill always has business of
his own, and so is never found attend
ing to the business of other people. Mr.
Flawpick has no business of his own,
and is therefore alwaya worried about
the affairs of the neighborhood. Mr.
Goodwill finds the world In want of im
provement, takes it as he finds it, and
goes about the work of making it bet
ter. Mr. Flawpick beholds in the world
his enemy, and goes about growling and
seeking to stab it under the fifth rib.
Mr. Goodwill acts from clearly defined
principles; if he thinks his neighbor is
out of the way and going to the bad, he
endeaVors, by precept and example, to
set his erring feet in the right
Mr. Flawpick acts as moved by person
al inconvenience; if the balance of the
world so conductS business as to render
it necissary for him to deny himself cer
tain luxuries, and work to live, he sets
up a sturdy grumble, denies the capa
bility of man to grow better, and neither
by precept nor example aids others to
improve their manners or morals.
Mr. Goodwill seeks to accommodate
himself to the inevitable; if becan mod
ify existing evils, and so pare away the
excresences which deform human na
ture, he does it, and bears patiently with
what is not susceptible of immediate
cure.
Mr. Flawpick beholds in himself the
model man. He Cati - trace his origin
back to the identical clay-bank from
which the Creator fashioned Adam.—
Whoever bends to his pattern is wor
thy, and whoever refuses to be meas
ured, and weighed, and shaped by his
rule, deserves the major condemnation.
Mr. Goodwill is a man of meditative
mood. When he sits down at leisure,
he discusses various questions, and an
chors his opinions upon the excellent
holding ground of reason. So, when
important measures are being considered
in high places, he does not find himself
obliged to wait for Hon. So-and-so to
declare himself, pro or con, but at once
measures policy by his well educated
sense of justice, and takes his position.
But Mr. Flawpick has no time to
think, being too much worried about
the obstinacy of the world which refu
ses to toelthe mark he has established.
When he sits down, it is to growl at the
destructiyes who insist ppon progress at
the comthon expense. He anchors his
opinions upon quicksands, and drifts
about unconscious of change - of place.
Having lingering•hopes of preferment;
knowing,"because feeling, his capacity
for something very good, and high, and
profitable, in the wa f t' of public station,
he is not ready to decide as to the jus
,
Lice or merli-of any tneasure, **Afie'
)1 0 4arable'liztAititkboo Gil4lk Zfe-)
piaro from his Macy , what is,: or it; iiot
gxpidient. - •
- 9oodWilthas one ~rule nP calor'
which shapes his Life. 'When a subject
is presented for public consideration, lie
asks himself—" Is this just? is it right?
is itequal ?" And as to " expediency,"
he holds that whatever is just, is, from,
its nature, expedient. Of men,-he judges
as regards their usefulue.ss. The m an
who. carries his character about in a
coach-and four, With outrider aid foot-
Men, never imposes upon Mr. Good
will. . .
Not so with Mr: Flawpick. , He speaks
contemptuously of rich men,—behind
their backs. He hates them, because
they 'have what he -has not enough of—
money. - But no man is so obsec i ulous as
he when he tweets Mr. Goldfinch. He
never asks—" Is this man a good citi
zen ?is he useful in society r No inore
does he ask concerning a measure—" Is
this just, equal, right'?" He asks—" Is
this expedient? is it likely to be popu
lar?"
So we come to the sum of the whole
matter : Mr. Goodwill works to increase
good, while Mr. Flawpick grumbles
about what he deems inimical to . the
Flawpick family, and does nothing.—
The' first is the full pattern of a true
man, who dares to do right. The sec
ond - is tin abortion, who has no clear
ideas of duty, and would be too selfish
to act up to them if be had any.
Whatever may be said of the moral
quality of " Democratic" editorials, we
shall confess to one thing, namely, their
remarkable durability. An editorial
from the Harrisburg Patriot and Un
ion, New York World, News, or the
Philadelphia Age, will endure transfer
to the editorial columns of a hundred
country papers, without credit, and still
remain fresh as at the start. As a case
in point, we notice that some half a doz
en Coppery sheets, during the last two
weeks, have regaled their readers with
a flaming leader., entitled " A Civil Ne
e_e:sisity." As the article is the same in
each paper, we are at a loss to decide
whether it is in the nature of ready
made clothing, or a most remarkable co
incidence of ideas. The article wears
well, though intellectual shoddy of the
loosest texture.
" The Geary shonldcr•atrapa having now had
their pow-wow, it is to be hoped the boys - in
blne'—the rank and file—will try their band at
a mium convention for,C/vmr and the Union !"
So closes an article in a Copperhead
exchange on the Pittsburg Soldiers'
Convention,- We hazard the opinion
that there will be no mass meeting of
the " boys in blue" for " Clymer and
Union." But we do hope it will be tried.
While we do not doubt that some good
soldiers will. from mere force of habit,
vote that ticket, .a ,mass convention of
soldiers who will vote fOr Mester Cly
mer, would be -likely to include five
with the marks of the chain and ball to
one of unquestioned fidelity. ,
We may safely announce that there
is to be no opposition to the re-nomina
tion of Hon. S. F. WILSON, for Con
gress,in this district. The Lycoming
Republican papers have taken ground
in favor of his ,re-nomination, and we
hear: from Center, Clinton and Potter
that, there is no division of sentiment
among good Republicans as to the ne
cessity for his re-nomination. We have
assurances from Potter county that she
will give him three times the majority
of 1864. The determination of the peo
ple to stand by Congress, can be demon
strated in no clearer way, than by re
turning every Congressman who has
stood up to the work nobly. No man in
Congress has made a better record for
fidelity to his constituents, than STE
PHEN F. WiLsolf. With a sense of the
proprieties of public life which does
him great credit; he has refrained from
speech-making, or other unwise stretch
ing after undue prominence, and so has
learned the ways of business, and given
his whole attention to the work which
is to secure to us the fruits of victory.
This is the way they do it The Cly
mer men of York county have issued a
call for a Soldiers' Convention in the in
terest of Mr. Clymer. Out of the four
dozen names appended to the call, sf
teen belong to men who have published
a card denouncing the whole thing as a
forgery, in so far as their signatures are
concerned; two - represent dead men;
one was drummed out of camp ; eleven
do not live in. York county, and did not
sign, or authorize the signing of their
names ;, three are enrolled as deserters;
and one never was in the service at all.
Rather of a serious joke for Mr. Cly
mer, is it not?
Gov. Crown; has re-appointed Hon.
C. R. Coburn State Superintendent of
Common Schools. TES will give much
satisfaction to Mr. Coburn's numerous
friends in Northern Pennsylvania.
In company with State Treasurer
Kemble, Gov. Curtin left Harrisburg for
Washington on the 14th instant, to re
ceive the $BOO,OOO appropriated to reim-_
burse Pennsylvania for expenses during
the war. That is a nice little sum.
Two classes.of politicians talk a great
deal about -negro equality, One class
talks because it does not think at all;
the other talks because it thinks, with
reason, that the negro will pass it in the
race of progress.

You did debauch it in Kansas. You
do debauch it in the slums of the great
cities. Under these circumstances, we
reply, " Yes" ; you have dared, do dare,
and will dare, to debauch the ballot•box.
Off with their heads. Certainly, pun
ish every difference of opinion with loss
of place. - The Copperhead admirers of
President Johnson 'are urging him to
put the guillotine in motion. Not that
they want to occupy the offices made

XXXIX.th Cangress---Ist Session.
The Senate gassed a bill creating the
grade of Admiral in the Navy, on the
14th.
In the House the question of Recon
struction came up in the application of
Lewis Hawes, claiming to be Congress
man elect from North Carolina. His
credentials were referred. A bill to
mend the national currency act was re
ported. The object of the bill is to
throw new guards against undue expan
sion around the system. It reduces the
tear on circulation one-half, and no bank
can have over a million in circulation.
It provides for a more equal distribution
of banking facilities, without an in
crease of the net capital.
The House passed a resolution instruc
ting the President to furnish official co
pies of the Constitutional amendment
recently passed, to the Governors of the
several States. The House passed &bill
to increase the pensions of widows, and
orphans on the 20th inst.

bellion, shall not be questioned
neither the United States nor any State
shall assume or pay any debt or obliga
