CIK Democrat. HARVEY SICKL.ER, Editor. &UNKHANNOCK, PA p T-.T .r-: —ft— ~ . r = Wednesday, Oct. 11, 1865. Tbe Electioii. We have delaytd this issue of our paper, a day, hoping thereby *-o be enabled to give tbe result of the late election, at least ao far as our county is concerned. In this we are disappointed .The full returns for only three or four districts have yet been received by us. These with rumors and estimates as to others, justify us in the opinion that the State and County tickets have been carried by a very small majority. Landon's vote in this county will probably be from 200 to 250 less than that of Dr. Shepard. The result in the State is uncertain. We fear, from tbe returns before us, that our State Ticket is defeated. Two Naughty Clergymen, Robert Burnes, in his day, often had oc casion to chastise with his satiric quill the debauched and drunken clergy of priest ridden Scotland, of whom he wrote: ■"Even ministers they had been kenn'd in holy rapture To visit theatres, and their night in laughter' ' A hundred years afterwards a case turns up in Chicago which fits so nicely in the above text that, would space allow, the jour nalist might preach a lengthy discourse on '"history repeating itself." Last evening, at Colonel Wood's museum, during the performance of 'Speed and Plough' a geutlemao in the audiance announced to the attendance that he had been rnboed of I five hundred dollars. The detectives were out on the scent, and began eyeing inquisi tively every countenance in the theatre. At length Mr. C. Edwards, superin'endant of the museum, discovered a couple of "gay and festive pals,' with eye-glasses and canes, twirling their moastaches in the most lash ionable abandon, and apparently with much experience in the business. His quick eye discovered that the hair was unnaturally long, and that it sat rather too jauntily on the face to be the result of nature or un guents. He therefore informed the detec tives, and the two fellows wcro "'pulled" and taken into .a private room. On searching them, what was the horror of the officers to find beneath the gay whis kers and flashing breastpins two clergymen, who had disguised themselves for the pur pose of induLing in a little "unlawful and unholy amusement." One of them had on an enormous false moustache and was fixed up in the most RECHERCHE style, reg rdless of expense. The other wore a thin mask over the lower part of his face, which com pletely disguised his features. Papers of a theological character were found on their persons, hut this was unnecessary, as they made a full confession saying that they onlv desired to see what the theatre was like in order that they might teach their respective flocks to shun such evil places. One of these theatrical clergyman spends his Sabbaths in preaching to a sleepy Chica go audience ; the other (and thank Heaven ! Chicago has not to father them both,) is a minister from the country, who has left his fli-ck a few days to visit the State Fiir—and the Theatre.—[Chicag) Tribune, Sept. Bth.] 4 A Clerical Villain. It becomes our unpleasant duty to record another scene in the demoralizing drama of pulpit politics. A Methodist clergyman nam ed Crisman, stationed iu Linton twp., is the wolf in sheep's clothing, who has been de vouring the lambs of his flock. He was arab id Abolitionists in the pulpit and out of it and his lying sermons had become so offensive as to drive away several of his congregate n He had not been long in the neighborhood be* fore be planned the ruin of a wife of a mem ber of his church—and sought every pretext to be in her company. He took especia pains to advocate the war, and to justify al| its immoralities, especially the violations of law, when it forbid the accomplishment of what he termed "the right." Having weak ened the sanctity of law in the conscience of his victim, he ins'illed into her mind the doc trines of the "free lovers," and cited her to the evil practices of the ancients. In this way he corrupted her senre of delicacy, mor ality and virtue. After a while he pretended to haves disease in the throat, so that he oould not preach, and got another clergyman to fill his appointments. Then he went to phc house of the unsuspecting member of his church, to help in harvest, but did not work much in the field—he clung around the house helped Tiilk the cows, and did light work. IDs conduct soon caused whisperings in tbe oeiglib rhood, and culminated in an elope ment--he deserted aw ife and several children, and she a fond and too indulgent husband— bringiug shame and misery upon two fancies, gnd scandal upon the church. Ho.v often need the press warn the people against the wiles of these infidel fiends. Abolition preach ers ? Whenever a preacher begins to ta'k politic* at the fireside, in his prayers, in his sermons, the woman should egg him from their doors, and men drag him from the pul pit. They are the false teacher*—tha wolves in sheep's clothing, against whom the Bn whatever under the draft laws of j (he United States, nor lo nject the ballot of any person offering to vote upon the alle gation that lie is liable to disfranchisement under those laws. 1. Our State Constitution provides, thnt an elector must be a while freeman, twenty one years old or upward ; a lax payer, un less between twenty one and twenty ivro years*ol age ; a resident i f the Sta'e for one year, unless in case of a former cit'Zcn, re luming, when six months will suffice ; and. finally, a resident lor ten da)B of the dec*ion district where he offers to vote : (dis'rict residences is not required ol 6nldiers in public service, under a recent amendment.) These are the quahficaiions of suffrage fixed by the people of Pennsylvania in their Constitution, and the whole of them, lo which nothing can be added and from which nothing can be taken away, unless by the eaioc power which established thetn. There is but one exoop tion to the universal futh of this proposition and it is und in the Constitution ol the United States, in the provi-ion conferring authority upon Congress to pass uniform laws of naturalization. As this special wt-r has vasted in Congress with the assent of the Sta'e, she prescribes no rule for the natural ization of foreigners. But this is the single power, connected with suffrage qualification at her elections, unexercised or unregula'ed j by her Constitution. It follows, that an act of the S'ate Legislature or an act of Congress prescribing a qualification, or creating a dis qualification of suffrage at State elections, must be wholly unauthorized and void.- When it was desired to extend sufftage priv ileges to our soldiers absent in tbe late war, the Legislature could not do it, and the Sta'e Constitution was amended for the purpose. And as to Congress the base is still more char. There is no grant of powet to Congress over State suffrage in the Federal Constitution, which fact excludes all pretense of ito existence. And the express grant to Congress of the power to pass uniform laws of naturalization, which have relation to State suffrage, ifi also inconsistent, with the pretension; for the grant would not have been necessary if powers relating to citizen ship and suffrage have oeen implied. The existing, current debates upon suffrage in the South, mav be considered in th's con nection The President holds, and holds tru ly, that the Government of the United S'a'ea cannot determine the rules ot suffrage in a Southern S'ate. Ts e clas of men called Radicals, hold that if can ; but upon what ground !—Why, upon the ground that the so Called States of the S"Uth are Siates no lon ger—at least not S'ates in the Union but conquered territories, and as such, subject to Congressional jurisdiction and inieference as of suffrage and other questions. Li brief, or e party to the debate asserts and ihe other virtually concedes, the doctrines above stated, of the exclusive power of a State in the Un ion to regulate suffrage Tor itself C early, then, by the common consent of all paries, the position is established, that Congress can not make the responding to * military draft a qualification of suffrage in P.-r nsylvania or any other adhering State ; and the act of con , gress of 3d of March. 18f5. supplementary to j the Conscription acts mint receive a construe , tion which shall conform this view of Con | gressional power, if its validity is to be j maintained. j IT. There is no power or Hgh* in boards ; of election to invest igatp or determine a ques 1 tion of alleged disfranchisement under the 2M section of the said act of 3d March. 18 65 , but on the contrarv. they are forbidden I by law t > enter upon snch action. 1. State officers are not hound to take jur isdiction tinder U S. laws and execute them. Congress can charge no such dutv upon them This was held bv the Supreme C->urt of the U. S. , In the oasp of Prigg v*. the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, to be found in the 16'h volume of Peters' Reports and is the undoubted law of the land. The Stte might iu a proper case, charge such duties upon them and compel their performance ; hut this his not been done in the present case.— On the contrary, the laws of the State do most expressly confine the officers <>f election to the examination of electoral qualifications of votes under " the Conatltution and laws of the State as will be presently shown. 2. The act of Congress does not attempt to confer any power upon S'ate officers to secure Us execution. But by the prior conscription act of 3d March, 1863, Congress does cjnfer authority in cases of desertion upon court*- trartial to try deserters and pr. nounce sen tence upon them. This is the sole and ex* elusive mode provided in the conscription laws for the trial and conviction of the deser ter and for adjudging to him the punishmeut provided by law. The 13'b section of the act of 3d of March, 1863, reads, in part, as follows : li * * Any person failing to report af ter due service of notice, as herein proscribed without furnishing a substitute or paying the required sum therefore, shall be deemed a deserter, and shall be arrested by the Pro vost Marshal and sent to the ueaiest post F<>R TRIAL BY COURT MARTIAL, UlileS, Upon proper showing that he is not liable to do military du'y, ihe board of enrollment shall relieve hnu from the draft." And by section 7, of same act, it is provided, "that it shall be the duty of the Provst Marshal to arrest all deserters,whether regulars, volunteer militia men, or persons called Into the service under this or any oiher act of Congress, wherever they may be found, and to send them to the nearest military commander or military post, Ac." By other sections of the same act, fur ther provision is made for a complete system of military arrest and trial, including the pro curing of evidence, the continuance of trial when necessaiy, Ac.—thus securing, in a reg ular manner, the examination of facts, a for mat finding, and a pronounced sentence in conformity with law. A tribunal is desig nafed, jurisdiction conferred upon it and its proceedings subjected to regulation. And i then, the rec. rd of the trial and boding inav i b.- reviewed by superior authority, and the President may, in a proper case, interpose his pardoning power to remit the punishment of the person convicted. The twenty firs t section of the supplemen tnrv act of 3d March, 1865, provides uddi* tional penalties f>r the crime of desertion but the irial of the offense itself remains as fixed by (he act ol 1863, to wit, by court martial. Upon trial and conviction by such military C'urt, the deserter becomes suhj ct to the penalties affiixed to his offense, wheth er under the former or latter statute but such trial and conviction by court martial is in dispensable to their infliction. Thus stands j the question under the conscription laws of the United Stales , exclusive jurisdiction to military coui ts i.ver cases o' desertion, both to try the offense and pronounce the puuish ment. 3. But tie State election laws still more clearly exclude the unauthorized action of election boards. The inspectors are sworn that thev will n<>t '-vexatiously delay or re fuse to receive any ateJrom any person who they shall believe to be entitled to cote ACCORD INQ TO THE PHoVf>PNB OF THE CONSTITU TION AND LAWS or THIS COMMONWEALTH."— And Ihe general election law fur'her enacts that "ere-y jiers >'' quahfi-1 to v .te accor ding to its provisions 4 shall be admitted to vote " in his proper district. Tnere are also penalties provided for such officers as may I violate these plain and imperative require ments of the law. 4 F T high evidence of the law upon the present subject of inquiry, I refer to the pro ceedings in the House of Representatives of this State at the last session, upon a partic ular bill to withdraw privileges of citizenship and the liyht to vote froin deserters, and drafted inen in default. But the bill was suc cessfully opposed upon the ground before sta ted in this argument, that the qualifications of suffrage a r o fixed in the Constitution of the State a. d unalterable except by an amendment of that instrument by the people. The sound and judicious remarks of Mr. Bn wn, of Warren, and Col. McClure, ol Franklin, (leading members of the maj rity tn the House) were decisive of the fate of the bid. It was dr >pped and its consideration never re*umt d. It then plainly appears that election offi cers cannot r.j-ct the vote of any person who is duly qualified to voie under the Constitu tion and laws of this State, nor can they en ter upon any inquiry regarding his perfor inancc ofduiv to ihe United states under the Conscription laws. They can only perform the duties charged upon them by our election laws, and to the performance of which they j are bound hy oath. As to proceedings against deserters and | non reporting men hereaf'er : By the con scription law* they may be tried before courts martial, and it connected, punished or par doned according to the meriis aid circum stance* of each case. Tf is a question of pol , icy Wi'h the goVeremelH whether proceedings shall be :*ti'U'ed or not, in any par'icular , ca*e, or generally throughout the country, j The object of ihe conscription acts, including i their severe penal sections, was to all our ar mies - That • hjec no longer exists. Men are not wanted. Instead ol being now enlisted nr drafted, they are discharged from service in great number*. Relief to the treasury is thus ■ secu'ed : and additional relief i si cured by dispensing with provost marshal", boards of enrollment and courts martial ; in short, with all ihe machinery of the conscription j laws, inc'uding ihe numerous < fficals requir sd for conducting a general system of milita ry trials under them. But, whatever may he the p-dmy or action of the Federal li- verntnent on this subject, it is certain thai S'aie ehction hoards cannot take up untried draft cases and pa*s upon them a* legateea of United S'aus military power, or in any other capacity whatever. G. R BUCKALEW- Sept. 30, 1865. Bond aud Free— Free aul Bond. Working men of America—who made the law that you should toil all your life to pay the billions of taxes heaped upon you ? Why shou'd the poor men and women who have given their earnings— iheir sons —their relatives—their blood io subdue the rebellion now closed—not only pay for all the least of blood, but support in idleness the lojal cow arde who dare not fight, and the rich men who hold bonds exempt by Congressional enactment from taxation ? Who tnade the poor—the laboring man, woman and child slaves to debt 1 Why should you pay any man for being rich ? When this war began Thomas Smith owned a farm. It was a good farm —he sold it for twenty thousand dollars, and put the money in the bank He was a "loyal" raau—that is, a man who was in favor Of abolitionism, Of mobs. Of military trials, Of false imprisonments, Ola total disregard for tho Constitution, for the laws, f.ir civil rights. During the reign of Lincoln, the above qualifications weie the lest of loyalty. Smith had a contract and made a hundred thou*and dollars, half of which he divided among Gen erals, Senators and Republican lobbyists. When the war wa over, Smith had sev enty five thousand dollars. He invested in bouds exempt from taxation, and receives every three months over seven per cent, in terest ; amounting to five thousand and nine ty seven dollars a year. Smith .s rich— loval, and a man ol means. He wears bmadcioth, gets drunk, does as he pleases, and no one dare question hun. He has sevetttyfive thousand in Government bouds—he does not have a farthing ol tax .o pay—hisfor'uheis made. When i his war began, Robert J ties owned a (aim worth twenty h.iusatid dollars. He kept it—went to war —fought—returned. He found hi.* farm taxed five thousand dollars hy his stay at home neighbors to raise bounty money to give me to exempt th> m from 'he draft. H- fids his property taxed—taxed— taxed—taxed! to raise money to clear his loyal neighbors trom war ! And Robert Jones learns that be cannot seil a cow, a horse, crop of grain or hay but it is tax.-.d He is made to pay taxes on all lie has. lie must help build toad*, bridges, school houses, j ti's, churches, and pay the current expenses of his town, counlv, city. S'a'e and ration. He toils early and late. His wife sells butter, eggs, cheese, poultiy, and the products of her loom. His childien wear coarse goods, sell berr'es, wild fruit and game from the field, river or forest to help along. The bes< cow g es in the Spring— the best horse goes in the Fall to piy'taxos. Thomas Smith has seventy five thousand dollars in Government binds, by a Republican administration made exempt from taxation. He lives at ease, pays not a cent of taxes for any purpose whatever, and then by law cotnp ls R"ben Jones to toil to pay faxes,and toil a lew extra hours each week to pay htm, Smith, inten st money on bis fortune b.-side. Lok at this ! We are talking to the Robert Joneses of America now —tot he laboring men of our countrv. and not to the bond holders who are hy n Republican bnndocraoy administration 1 nrotccted tn their wealth. Democracy made this nation what if was when the war commenced—a rich, bappy and prosperous people. Democracy favored equal taxation—equal responsibility. Democracy taught law and obedience thereto. Republicanism has brought us war. It has filled ihe earth with dead bodies. It has hillocked the land with graves. It has transformed a rich and producing country itrfoa land of ashes, broken hearts and desolation. It has rimed in extravgance, and has heap ed more taxee upon the people of the United States than was levied upon America, France, England ard Spain xhen the war began. It has by Vgislation withdrawn tw-.third* of the capital of the entire United States from taxation by b >rrowing money and giving the governmt nts, notes or bonds for fit- same and besides paying double ihe interest foteign enjoins pav, exempted the notes or bond* from taxation, thus throwing the entire weight of the war and the ex'ravagances the most wicked, reckless, profligate and mischief working adininis'ration he country ever knew, upon the laboring men of the country. The curse visited upon Egypt,the curse of lice frogs, etc., was an evtdet ce of D'Vtne love in comparison with the curse of Republicanism this c uutry is now laboring under. Work tng men of Am rica—will you heed ihe*e things? Will you consent longer to follow the cloud which has already led >ou so far froin jieace and happiness ? Will you endorse nid support the power winch take* y*'U by the throat uiocks at your prayers—robs you of labor—toys with your liberties—revels in your blood—lives on your earnings, and makes of the laboring men mudsills or which to rear*tdl higher an accursed ard oppresive aristoct aqy ? Let us demand our tights, let us have re frenchmen!, reform, law. order, and economy. Let us have ZOUAL TAXATION. THE PROPERTY or MRS GEN. EWELL RE STORED. — lu obedience to an order rum At torney General Sjeed to the District A tor ney of Missouri, the property,estimated to be worth 860,000, of the wife of the rebel Gen. Ewell has been delivered over to her agents. This property has been libelled for confisca tion, and the plea of amnesty and pardon made in her lavorhad been overruled by the court, and the re-h aring was set for next term. This order fr->iu the Executive, how ever, suti.tnarily terminates the case, io the great gratification of tbe lady's friends. The Progress of Reconstruction. ! Krery State in the South which parlicipa- ' ted in the late tebellion has returned to its allegiance, and having in good faith sought : with all the means in its power to fake itself ! out of the Union, has abided the issue, and 1 now in as good faith seeks to put itself upon : its old footing in the government. The j change from a state of war to that of peace and restoration has been swift, and well il lustrate* the wonderful energv of the Amer I ican character. P.iorto the first of last April the Southern Confederacy reared its head defiantly, and thouhg upon the point of being hopelessly crushed, still threw the gauntlet to its more powerful adversary Sves along—all these things in a degree so unusual, spean volumes for the wisdom of this policy. So far th's policy i, we repeat, an aston i.hmg success. The Union is nearly coin pleiely restored even in detail—in eff. ct the I work isi already accomplished. The material j prosperity of the South is the next grand question intimately connected with this res toration— i*, in fact, a part of it. No one can doub' but that this prosperity will be built up witb the same degree of rapidity, and hence the interests of the entire country will be verv greatly benefitted. The only obstacle to the immediate consummation of this important policy is the factious opposi tion of the Radicals. We say immediate, for their opposition can but delay— it cannot prevent this consummation. This opposition is facetious—ls sectiunal— u wise for them-elves, and hurtful to the country. Visionary in their schemes— they are impracticable in their worse, and through perverted lanatici*m would bring ruin upon the whole nation. That they will utterly fail is not a matter of doubt—and the condemna tory judgment of posterity will be added to their ignominious discomfiture. Yet, mean while, they are capable of committing a great deal of mischief, and it behooves the sup porters of the Administration to unite their sirengihin defence of this policy of the President's which is now the sole means of lescuirg the country from anarchy.— Ex.
