-MEML'Hld MOT.
On our first page, wo givo tlu details
of the "rciijn ci terror'' as it existed for
two or thrce'ilays in tlio city of Memphis
This wholesale, unprovoked, inhuman
barbarity of tlio "chivalry" toward tho
unoffending freodmen of that pluoj wo
consider as unprecedented m modern
history. During the war. it was not
uncommon to hear of tho fiendish at
rocities committed by southern men upon
the colored soldiers of tho north, but at
a timo liko the present, when every ef
fort is being mule be amicaoly adjust iill
social and political ViflMfTccB, for sueh
out-bursts ot private enmity, and haired
to come to our cars, from sueh a source,
absorbs that of mercy which had alrrady
found its way to our hearts It will be
observed by reading tho account that
not only negroes, but white men and
women of northern proclivities wero
objects of special vengeance We wero
shown tho letter of a gentleman to a
friend in this place, whoso veracity there
is no reason to doubt, confirming in a
great part everything published in the
articlo referred to. Ho describes the
scene as one horrible beyond description.
Dead bodies lying for thirty -six hours
upon tho street exposed to insult
and indecency. Thero was no resistance
the second night on the part of the
blacks, but wherever one made his ap
pearance he was shot down by tho mob
This is but a single instance, only on
s largo scale. Hundred! of brutal de
monstrations often resulting in death,
come under our observation weekly
not always practiced upon freedmen
but upon whites sojourning in the south
DECUEA8EOF TANKS.
Tho Committee of Ways and Means
have concluded that even idler milking
a largo allowance for the expected de
cline in tho receipts from customs, and
for the reduced incomes resulting from
tho reduction of war prices and the reor
ganization of business, the increase of
duty on cotton and a few other products
wil enable tlnm to ettect a reduction in
taxation amounting to 75,000,01)0, and
Still givo the Secretary of the Treasury
for the year ending Juno 30, 1807, a
revenue of 350,000,000. Tlio sclec
tion of articles for this exemption has
beeu made very judiciously. It is of
such a character as to extend relief where
it is most necessary and advantageous.
Tho bill proposes to place upon tlio
freo list many articles that enter into
ordinary family expenditures, such as
slaughtered animals, salt, sugar, starch,
ooal, soap, vinegar, saleratus, clothing,
boots, and shoes ; to reduce the cxpence
ot building by removing tho tax from all
building materials, such as brick, free
slono, marble, slate roofing, slato, lime
and cement; to abolish tho taxes on
freights and repairs; to abandon the
taxes on boxes and printing of every
description ; to promoto agriculture" by
relieving fertilizers, draining tiles, and
many of tho more expensive farming
implements; and assist manufacturers
by exempting coal and iron, and grail
ing a drawback on all cotton goods ex
ported, Tho bill contains many provi
sions ot the general character here indi
cated, and we trust that, by the speedy
adoption of its main features, the indus
trial iutcrosts of the country will be
greatly promotod.
CONSTITUTION AlT.AMEND.MENT,
lias passed tho House by more than
tffo-thirds majority, has been refernd to
the Senate and placed upon tho table for
' discussion. Although it doos not em
body all that might be wished, we
cannot but suppose it will moot that
body's approbation. When by tho anr
nals of history treason can be proven as
no crime, then, and not until thon, can
we consider the measure as unjust
WHY 13 IT ?
1 If tho Democracy seek the truo in
terest of tho country, that the south al
most to a man, look to them tor aid and
comfort in tho solution ot their political
problem 1 Will any one cxplaiu t
Tint joint resolution exempting crude
l'utioloum from tho Revenue Tux having
passed both Houses may now bo con
iderod at a law. It will provo a groat
relief to the oil intorcst, and oould not
have come at a more opportuno timo.
Thero Is much clamor In tlio Copperhead

WIDE STEP TOWAKD CONCILIATION.
Tho following which wo clip from nn
exchange is certainly a gleam ot sunshine
through the dark sky of political ilissen
tion. Let the people of tlio South con.
tinue in such deeds of kindness to our
brave boys who sleep sidoiy side with
tho sons ot the South, and thero will
soon bo love, where now, is but gall and

UNION VICTORY!
COPPERHEADS ROUTED !
On Monday wc had tho most anima
ted contest that ever occurred in the
Borough.
Tho copperheads wero jubilant with
tho idea of victory. Every available
means in their power was resorted to, to
achievw what they havo so long labored
tor, the controlling power in tho Bor
ough of Uniontown. But as usual they
arc compelled to take tho back seats.
They have conic nearer to tho throne of
power this timo than they can ever hope
to come again. Tlio citizens are awake
and this time they como up to their duty
much more promptly than they havo
been accustomed to do heretofore. Wo
have a decided and infallallc majority
in tho Borough, when the party has en
ergy enough and devotion enough to
its principles to turn out and give prac
tice to its faith Uniontoicn Standard.
Tip top ! For "two cents" we would
get out our "chicketi" but wo nro ,,sav

WHO THE FilEEDJIAN'S BUREAU
HELPS.
It is ascertained that in tho State
of Arkansas, tho number of rations
issued under the operation of the Freed-
man's Bureau to tho whites and blacks!
lespeclivcly, during the GrM quarter of
tho year was as follows :
Month To Whites To Black's
January, 18(50 47,8:ifi ll,0!)"
February 84,044 U.RI7
March 102,204 11,412
Total 233,064 32,'J.-.4.
Showing that "moro than seven limes
as mm y whites as blacks'' havo received
support f'oin the government through
the mtiliuiii of this trusty, humane and
beneticienl, but much utilised scheme.
The Copperhead journuls that have all
along denounced the Frccilinan's Bu
reau as tho "Negro Poor House'' ar
rangement, will take precious gi.od care
to withhold from the public tho fact that
whites and blacks aliko enjoy its benefits
and that thus far, in the State of Arkan
sas at least, more than seven eights ot
its bounty is bestowed upon tho former.
A measure which does so much for ex
rebels ought to receive the hearty sup
port of thoso who so cordially sympa
thized with them in their late effort to
overthrow tho government. Hp. 0

wot king farmers :
Gii.mokk Th. Greene Co. 1
Fa. April 28. 18u'G. j
Mil. EoiToii : While resting from
work I would drop you a few lines giv
ing you some of my notions. I have
been reading the testimony of tho rebel
Vico President Alex. II. Stevens, deliv
ered before tho Committee on Recon
struction, flo dwells at great length
on tho rights of rebels under tho Consti
tution, but I think thero is one right
they arc fully entitled to, that ho forgets,
Hint is the rijht to be hung up by the
neck- It is very plainly set down in
the Constitution and if ns he in'inits,
they did not succeed in destroying that
instrument, then they bI'.ouIJ have the
full benefit of its force. To read the
Presidents vetoes one might almost think
thero was no other man in tho United
Stnte ever read tho Constitution but him
self. No doubt thero aro others who
read and understand it ns well as ho.
Ho throws out the intimation that the
inon who voted tor those bills vetoed,
havo perjured thotnselves. Now they
aro sworn to support the Constitution,
as well as ho is, and I think when any
ono man undertakes to rulo this Gov
ernment, he is nothing but a usurper,
and a tyrant, also a Judas to the party
that gave him power. Ho has said time
and again that "traitors should bo pun
ished and treason mado odious," and
what has ho done t Hang fivo or six
inon and one woman, and wants to pun
ish the loaders by making them Senators
and Congressmen. Well, I never
thought that was much of a punishment
but, porhnpg I don't know as I nevor
held that position. I always thought
that the prime movers eroulod the causes
and aro thoreforo most cruiltv. If vou
can hang a subordinate, you must hold ,
tho chief as already condemned, that j
is what makes me think that (hose who I
were loading rebels ore entitled to the
one particular clause of that Constitu
tion they talk so much about.

THE LATE ULTCIIEUY IN 1'IIILADEL-
- PIIIA.
l'nii.ADixiMiu, May 7 Tho IWnimj
'Icltyntph publishes tho conlcssion nl
Probst. AfUr describing the murder
of the boy Curry, he says : "The Hight
ol the blood ot (he boy produced a
devilish and bloodthirsty feeling, and I
determined at once to ml rder the whole
Innilly." IIu enteied and told Charlie,
the little hoy, next in yci.ra to Willie,
who was absent, that ho wanted him to
help him do Homo work ill the barn.
Tho little fellow followed him, and, as
soon as he got him inside tho barn door,
ho dispatched him with a small axe he
had seemed.
Ho then went back to tho hmiso and
told Mrs. Deering thero was something
tho matter with ono of the cows, mid he
wanted her to como to tho barn. She
went, and ho fol'owed, and a- soon, ns
she entered insido ho struck her in tho
head and killed her. Ho then went
back to the house and biouglit the
children o::t, one at a time, mid taking
them inside the barn, dispatched tlicin.ono
by one, with the axe. In each instance
ho cut their throats and placed their
bodies in tho corn ci il himself, just in
the position they were found, lie then
covered the bodies up and proceeded to
wipo out all evidence of his guilt.
Ho then went back to tho house, and
awaited the arrival of Mr, Deerii.g, not
expecting that Miss Dolan would ac
company hiiii. As soon as Mr. Deering
arrived in tho carriage, he got our, and
Probst told him something was wrong
with one of tho cows, and a;ked him to
go over to tho barn with him. Mr.
Deormg went along with him, and Miss
Dolan went into the houso and took off
her bonnet nnd furs. Mr. Deering did
not even tako off his gloves before going
to the barn, but proceeded there imme
diately, fullnwid by Probst who had tho
axe concealed, ready foi use. As soon
as Mr Deering entered tho door, Probst
stated that ho struck him on tho head
and felled him to tho earth, and then
chopped at his neck with tho edgo of tho
axo. Miss Dolan was tho next and last
victim. Shu proceed to tho barn, after
coming down stairs and not finding any
of the family in the house, Probst, who
was in waiting for her, treated her as ho
bad done tho rest :f the family.
After laying out the bodies and
covering them up with hay, tho murder
er went into thu house and commenced
searching for valuables. Ho stales that
ho gflt no money, but expected to se
cure a considerable amount. He. states
that Miss Did m's pocket book had very
little in it. He saw nothing whatever
of the two lil'iy dollar compound interest
notes and twenty dollar bill of the same
character, that are missing. He remain
ed about the house lor Home lime, pick
ed up the articles found iu the black
valise, and left about dark. I lis further
movements were pretty much as brought
out on tho trial. Probst stales that he
would have confessed to all the murders
beforo, but he feared that if lie did so,
ho would bo torn to pieces by tlio mob.
rn.'A. May 9 The death warrant
for tho execution nf Antoino Probst, on
Friday, the 8th June, was received by
thoShci iff this morning.' The Kceni ,g
Telegraph says that the piisoner received
the announcement quietly, seemingly
entirely unmoved He hud previously
told his confessor that he believed that
death was tho only expiation of his
crimes, and that ho was willing to suf
fer. No person except his uoutessor will
be allowed to visit him To day, threo
years ago, Probst lauded in this coun
try. RECONSTRUCTION.
Washington, May 10 The Constitu
lional Amendment passed the House
this afternoon, amid tho umial scenes of
intense excitoment that accompany such
an important an event. It not only
passed without amendment, and just as
it came from the Reconstruction Coin,
miltoo, but secured a largo majority over
the requisite two third vote. This was
contrary to the anticipations of tho most
ardent friends of tho amendment. It
was in fact a strict p irty vote, with tho
exceptions of G. C. Smith ot Kentucky,
and Phelps of Miryland, who voted
with tho Democrats against it. There
was, however, a sharp exhibition of par
lamciitary tactics that should not bo lost
sight of. When tho House was to be
brought to a vote, a largo number of
Republicans were opposed to ordering
tho main question, and voted with the
Democrats against it. They did so on
tho ground that if thu main question was
determined on, thero would be no op
portunity to strike out the third soction
which disfranchises all rebels untill 1870.
Tho retention of this seotiou was looked
upon by many as being fatal to the rati
fication by any Southorn Slato of tho
amendment. When roll-call was com
pleted, it was manifest that tho oppo
nents of the third section had carried the
motion, and that tho main question had
not been ordered
Tho Domoorats instantly aw the op
portunity to change tho result and force
tho Republicans to vote tor or against
tho amendment, ns a whole, with the
thirl section rctainod. Thereupon
Messrs Niblack, Rogers, Kerr aud oth
r Democrats ohanged their votes to tho
allii uialfvo, which carried the motion by
live inajoiity, aud forced both Houses to
a direct vote on the main question.
There was great confusion and excite
ment nt this moment, ns nearly two
thirds of the members were out of their
eats. The roll call was proceeded
with, ai d the Republicans met the issue
and voted solid for the amendment, with
tho exception ot the two member
already named. When tho nanio ot
Mr Raymond was reached ho answered
to the great surprise ot the House
in the Allirmativo. His vote was warm
ly applauded, and members rushed n
roimd and congratulated him.
Tho result was received with great
applauso on tho floor and in the galleries.
Mr Kldridgu ihtreupon nroso excitedly
and hoped that thu rules would bo en
forced, so that tho "nigger heads," ns ho
called tho spectators, could not disturb
the IIwiisc. IIu was answered by the
spectators, with a storm of hisses. Mr
Rogers, of New Jersey, thereupon arose
and moved that the frccdiiioii in the gal
leries be allowed to wave their handker
cheits This was received with mangled
appluuro and hisses, and ad-led to thu
confusion. Finally, order was restored,
and iu the exuberance of its feeling the
Huuse adjourned untill Monday.
TENNESSEE.
Tho Legislature of Tennessee having
passed on act more completely distran
closing Rebels, a meeting of Union
members was held on tho evening of
the 3d mst. to exchange congratula
tions thereupon-, at which Gov. Brown
low spoke as follows:
"But a short ti.no since, I was visited
by a Tennessee ofiicer iu an Arkansas
Re; el regiment, who told me that the
Rebels had no right to complain of the
franchise bill; that ho submitted cheer
fully, and it was within his personal
knowledge thai, if thu Confederates
achieved their independence, it was their
purpose to diofrunchiso every Union
man iu the South. It is idle to talk about
thu act disfranchising Rebels being a
radical measure, inaugurated by Sum
ncr and Stevens at Washington. It is
tho lime-honored doctriuo nnd practice of
tho fathers of the Involution, wdio, at
tho closo of ihiit eventful struggle, dis
franchised the Tories of that day, who
answer to tho Rebels of our day. . Loud
cheering. My recollection ot tho
history of thoso times is, that both signed
bills disfranchising Tories. Tlio same
was done, if I mistake not, by the Legis
latures of Virginia and North Carolina,
and even South Carolina.
'Upon this platform, however, for the
first time since the Rebellion was begun,
we have all got together Radicals,
Conservatives, Copperheads, weak kneed
Union men, and Rebels. Wo Radicals
aru till lor tho franchise law; tho other
classes named aro all for Jjhnson. It
is not to bo presumed that any would bo.
for Johnson who aro not for his doc
trines, and wo knew that he inaugurated
the doctrine in Teniii-sseo of disfran
chising Rebels. Among his list utter
anecs beforu ho left here, some thirteen
months ago, ho declared that, if there
wero but 5,000 loyal men ' iu Tennessee,
they should control tho State; and all
tho timo that this measure has been
pending, he has been represented, by
those who have had frequent interviews
with him, as wauling tho Legislature to
liurrv up tho franchise law. We are,
thi.vi.fMrn nnnn hia iilnf form, niwl linrm !
to present not only 5,000, but ten times
5,000, loyal Uniou men to govern tho
State
"Let us then, one and all, keep. our
stand upon tho President's platform of
governing the States with loyal men,
making treason odious, and putiishng
traitors. Upon this platform I took my
stand long since, and here I will stand,
and upon tics I intend to fight it out,
not only all Summer, but if it takes tho
remainder of my natuial life. In this I
am encouraged, knowing that all good
and true men at home stand by me, and
all good and true men abroad, including
the most talented, patriotic, nnd loyal
Congress wh'rh ever assembled in
Washington." Loud cheers.
A ctriziiN of Memphis writing con
cerning the lata massacre in that city,
to Hon. W. D. Khij.ky, says,
"When the miscreants had fired
Collins' chapel, a largo frame church,
cornier ot Washington and Orleans
sn;ts, which would now cost fully 10,
000 to rebuild, they slood around the
firo which lighted iho midnight sky nnd
made tho night hideous' with their hel
lish cheers for "Andy Johnson" and a
"white man's government!" And tho
supporters of the President, aside from
being midnight burners ot churches and
school houses, robbod women and chil
dren nnd men sparing none on account
of ago, sex, physical disabilities, or inno.
conceof crime even burning womcu
aud children alive.
