" fltt Democrat. HARVEY SICKL.ER, Editor. TUNKHANNOCK, PA Wednesday, Dec. 6, 1865. CONOKESS convened on Monday last.— M;. Collox was elee'ed speaker. All the southern members including those from Tennessee were refused seats in the body. Bills were immediately introduced for ex tending the right of suffrage to negroes in the District ol Columbia ; and for forcing that degrading condition upon the southern states before their admission to the union. Radic alism is triumphant and defiant. The con stitution and law 6of our country are to be overthrown and new ones modeled after those ol Uayti and Jama.cn, to be adopted. The President and his policy are entirely ig nored. lie is virtually declared an alien and usurper. The abolition jitsobins and blood hounds are upon bis track.

Johnston, the renowned antagonist of Gen. Sheimao, and Major Gen eral in the rebel army, arrived in New York on the 16th mst, with his wife, tnd took rooms at the New hotel. The world savs the General has lost nothing of his fine ap pearance by the trials tf the late war in which Jhe played so conspicuous a part. He is of medium height, broad shouldered, and wears a heavy mustache and beard, which lapse of time, and no doubt, also the trouble to which he has been subjected for the last four years,have changed from a deep black to an iron gray color. It ts understood that he is in the city on priva'e business. EST A revenue inspector at Philadelphia and his brother, who is assistant assessor in the same city, and both of whom were greai favorites at the White House during the late administration, have lately come to grief.— They are accused of using their official posi lions in relation u> tobacco manufactured bv them, and of never having returned more than one- - .wentielh thereof. The Treasury Department, it is alleged, has discovered frauds to a much greater amount than the whole stock seized. The present law is ve ry defective in the punishment of such offen ders ; but the Secretary has determined to exercise all ttie severity possible in aggrava ted cases.— Lancaster Intelligencer. The Next State Convention- A meeting of the Democratic State Central Commitleec was held at Ilarnsburg on Tue day the 21st uli. The time for holding the next Democratic State Convertiou was fixed for Monday, March 6:h, 1866. That is right. Let the Democratic party in the meantime prepare for the next fall's campaigr. Let us have no more "old 'ogy" "intensely dignified" and "conservative" cam paigns. Let us meet the enemy as we would meet one on the tented field. Yes, let us meet them with strategy,energy,organization, or whatever deviser they may see fit to use ! Who would think, in meeting a highway rob ber of falling back upon dignity and nice lit tle dis, lays of standing and politeness fort success ?— Sunbury l)em. BEAUTIES. — Seward, in his slavering eulo gium of his Colleagues—past and present says of ex Secretary Camerom. that he is "in all things honest, earnest, zealous, patriotic." Think of that, Cameron honest and patriotic! AMer this philosophers may confidently look for blood in turnips. Of the illustrious Ed —the successor of the pation o f Sc >tch ale and red herring speculators—Seward sty*, "I have never known hitn to express or even betray a thought in regard to our coun try which was not divine." Mr. Seward must havo been thinking of that "divinity which shapes our ends," (rough bew them as we will.) We have heard of sermons in rocks and music in the brooks, but Seward can see more jewels in a "toad's head" than the most of men ! A company of English capatilista have leased the Catawissa railroad, in this State, for nine hundred and ninety-nine year*, at a thousand dollars a day rent. The Mot ris A Escx read is said to have bren leased by the same company. The object is to complete a direct and nearer route to St Louis. One of the merry wives of Blooralngton Indiana, played a practical joke on her hus band, by having their babe, a sweet little in fant of six Uhinth c , done up in a basket and left on the front door steps with a note say tug that be was the father of the child and tnust support it. The indignant husband swore roundly that it was not his, but Anal ly saw the joxe when he found the cradle empty. MOUNTAIN or SALT. —A striking curiosity has lately been discovered in the Nevada Territory. It is a mountain of rock salt, sit uated about twenty miles from Meadow Val ley, and only eighteen miles from the fie ad of navigation ou the Colorado river. It rises abruptly from the plain, about four hundred fuel in height, a mountain of pure, sparkling cryatabsed salt. Lost Its Chick. The Democratic party used to hare 86 an emblem the "Cock," but for some years the Hen. and not the ''Rooster" was conceded the most appropiate. All that remained of the party,(the hen) was one poor little "ch:ck'' (New Jeisiy) for which a continual scratch inn and cackling was kept up as though the old hen had lotsw-f chicks to leed and keep warm. The old hen (the Democratic psrty) loved her one chtCK (Now Jersey,) bu : the "Old Coon," regardless of her cries carried, off her last chick, and the poor old hen ts alone in the world.— Abolition paper. We rather like that, says the Northumber land County Democrat. It sounds a little s- art, considering its source, and may have a ''slight semblance"of truth about it; The '•Old Coon" has long been known as u most unmitigated thief, and of course by lying and stealing has got the chicken. He got Massa chusetts first and Massachusetts was always after lost to Washington, Jefferao'n, Jackson and everybody else but old "Zip Coon" and the nigger, who is also a great chicken thief ! But has nut the old Coon done something else besides eat up the chickens ? "Sartin ly." He has eat up all the gold and silver, and judging from the scarcity and high prices, he must have "carried off" nearly all,the but ter. cheese, sugar, coffee, muslin, bread stuff-*, and everything else except Revenue stamps. Federal tax collectors, niggers and wooden legs. Yes the "Old Coon" carried off the chickens, tore down the hen coop, swallowed down the buckwheat, played the hog in ev rybodvs cornfield, went out.and in from its hell-hole home, with its ring tail full of fire and brimstone, until it got the Magazines, and Arsenals, and barns, and houses, and villages, and cotton mills of the whole coun try on fire, and having stolen nearly every thing Uncle Sam had, and got hiiu four bit lions in debi, proposes now to climb a tree taking a back ioad of untaxed binds along, and let Uncle Sam and bis poor ftunily get on as best they can. It is a viliainou, bloody, deceitful, lying, burglarious Old Coou, and ought to have the dogs, put on its tracks— have its bead hammered as flat as a pancake, and have it* hide used up to keep the wid ows and orphans, of the nation warm. Taxing; U. S. Bonds. The Louisville Democrat discusses as foI- It ws touching the right and policy of taxing Government Bonds : The terribly Lyal Sta'e of Vermont is agi tating the question of taxing United States bonds, or the irc.mo upon them. Petitions are pouring in in behalf of that policy. A large committee of the Legislature has been appointed to investigate the subject of the power of the State to tax these bonds. In times past it would have been easily de cided that a State could not tax United States bouds ; for if a State has such Powei, the States might nulify the power of the Fed e al Government to borrow money. On the other hand, and by the same logic, the Fed eral Government could not tax State bonds ; otherwise the Federal Government might nullify the right of a S'ate to borrow money. The Federal Government has undertaken to tax the circulation of State bank paper.— This nullifies the power of a State to charter a bank ot issue. This is directly opposed to the logic of the Supreme Court when Maryland st'empted to tax a branch of the United States bank.— The court bavin settled that Congress had power to charter a bank,decided that a State could not tax it ; otherwise the States might nillify this power. But there is no telling what the States may do, in these revolutionary times. They may drop this logic and resort to philosophy. The verdict < f the people may be that the bonds mu*t be taxed, and the fellow that undertakes to gainsay it will be disloyal, and the bond holder that makes too much fuss about his bonds will be informed that he must prove his loyalty or loose his bonds al together, or be glad to get his interest in le gal tenders. It may be that the public debt may be in compatible with the safety of the government like a slavery ; and it may be a military ne cessity to abolish it ; mcuh more to tax it. Proclamation by the Presldeiit--TheWrit of Habeas Corpus Partially Restored, The following proclamation has just been issued by the President of the United States of America: WHEREAS, By the proclamation of the President of the United Sta'es, of the 13th day of September, 1805, 'he privileges of the writ of habeas corpus was, in certain cases therein set forth, suspended throughout the Un ted States, and whereas the reasons lor that suspension may be regarded as having ceased in some of the States and Territories.

John Brown's soul is still on the March.— We hear of it progress in almost every quar ter. Scarcely a day passes that does not recurd an act of John Blown piety, in some shape or other, —horses stealing, murder,rape, arson, intrigue and debauchery. During the past week, among numerous ottiers, John Brown's soul has takeu Bleps as follows : Nashville, Tenn., a heavenly place, presi ded ove r by cne of Brown's favored disciples Parson lirownlow—appears to be highly blessed. On the 221 inst., about 10 q'clock, as Mr. Wm. Htfferman, a well known citizen of the city, was returning fr< ra St. Cecilia Seminary with his daughter and son in his cairiage,he was attacked by four higwayinen, who dragged him into the bushes by the road and robbed hira, and so desperately in jured him that his recovery s impossible,— One of the robbers was badly wounded by- Mr. Htfferman. All of the pepetrators of the act nave been arrested, and are now in jail They were found to be teamsters in the em ploy of tho Government . In St. Louis, Miss., the collector of the United States Savings Association Had been on his daily rounds collecting amounts due trom other banks and had last called at the Fourth National Bank, corner of Washington avenue and Third 6treets. lie had in his portfolio, or satchel, about thirty five thou sand dollars, and was proceeding down Wash ington avenue toward the river, when "John BroW#'s soul" caine behind him, knocked him down, and seizing the money ran down the street. The collector, a gritty young fellow, picked himself up, and seeing tho thief running off with his money, quick ly drew his revolver and fired on him.— The robber weakened at the report of the pistol, and dropped the money. Ho made his escape as the collector stopped to pick up his cash, while the thief continued ruu ning. The Boston Courier, of a late date says : "Whatever may be the cause of the evils that now infest us, it is certain that our streets are getting to be as unsafe as those of Mexico, and people are really becoming afraid to walk out after dark. Among some circles a perfect panic of fear prevails. We heard of a Chelsea gentleman being attacked yesterday, who, even in the day time, does not carry money or other valuables about him. There is a general inquiry, what shall be done to arrest this epidemic of crime ? This question, put to a Judge of one of our courts yesterday, elicited the answer, "Cany a revolver, and 'when attacked shoot—but be sure to shoot accurately." It is now un *afe for decent people to walk around after dark." John Brown's 6oul should be taught bet ter manners, and not to be allowed to attack its fiiends and foster parents. Some trouble has lately occurred with the negroes ntar Marina, Florida. They burned a cotton house, and did other damage. A c unpany of regulars had been despatched to enforce order. Some negro troops attacked and took pos session of a passenger train at Lauderdale Springs, Mississippi, a few days ago, insult ing the ladies, and perpetrating other out rages. Dr. John McLean, President of the New- Jersey College, Princeton, was la'el}' at tacked by some of the students aud heat so severely, that he was not able to leave his room for several days.— Ex. FORKSTON, NOV. 1805, MH. EDITOR : Ilid I the skill to paint scenes with words as faithfully as they are presented to the eye, at my present place of writing, it would not require the assistance of imagination to produce a picture that for beauty of scenery and grandeur of mountains would compare probably with any spot in our land, if-not vie with theworld renowned Switzerland, the paradise of the traveller.— The mountains around this place have* been covered for several days, with a roaatle of snow, while in the valleys between, we have enjoyed delightful Fall weather; which contends obstinately against the encroach ments of icy winter; but as the irresistible tyrant has secured possession of the solid ramparts by which we are surrounded, we must expect soon to see him sweep down like an avalanche, from his lofty perch and lock the land in his vice like grasp. Soon must the pleasant days and gentle breezes of Indian Summer give way to the chilling blasts of winter. Whatever forebodings the eoming cold weather may produce in the minds ol the poor of our cities and towns, to the people of Forkston it has no terrors. To them there are no more visions of cold or pove'ty, for they have recen'ly made the important discovery that the mountains by whicn they are surrounded are huge reser voirs of that which will both warm their hearts and fill their pockets with (he needful A few of the enterprising citizens of the place, with their pics aud shovels, some days since, made a breach into the side of one of ihe mountains near the place, and laid open to view a fine vein of coal, that onlv • i needs a little energy, and some capital, to coin into greenbacks and bank stocks. A1 ready do visions of vast wealth and heavy coal operations float through their minds.— We may reasonably esp. ct at no distant day to see the iron horse puffing his way among these mountains, carrying <ff the produce of the mines, and bringing back in return wealth and luxuries. We shall see villages spring up where now are dense forrests, and the smoke of the engines and hum of machinery will fill these valleys, and Forkston, now so little known, will occupy an important place in our community, and exert an influence in the wealth and importance of our country Such are the ardent expectations of the peo ple. May tbey not be disappointed. Yours, &c., WANDERING JEW. Negro Banditti In Teunesse, Recent acts of audacity committed by roving armed negroes, within a few miles of Nashville, are attracting public attention and exciting painful apprehensions. Travel on the most frequented turnpike roads is be coming perilous in the extreme. Within a few weeks I have heard of three deadly as saults committed on one turnpike road, lead ing into a densely populated country, south of the city,all by aimed negroes. In one instance a garduer had a knife thrust into his body bv a black patriciau whom he caught in his cabbage patch, confiscating rebel cab bages for loyal uses. In this case the wound though at first considered dangerous, did not prove fatal. A lew days previous, on the same highway, a poor man was assaulted in open day by two or more negroes, and beat en nearly to death ic his market wagon.— On Friday night last, about twelve o'clock, a third attack was made upon an unsuspect ing man from tho country, Mr. Richard Hamlet, who resides nine or ten miles from Nashvile, on the Nolansville turnpike. Mr. Hamlet had left his home with a wag on load of produce for the Nashville market, accouipanied by his wife. He had drawn so near to the city (having reached the toll gate within haifa tnile of the corporate line —near enough to hear the town clock strike) that he thought himself ot) safe ground. So, leaving his market stuff in the wagon, he took lodging in tliP house of the toll gate keeper. Heating a noise about his wagon at the hour of midnight, he arose and went to the spot, without arras. So soon as lie was obseived by the armed uegroes, who were helping themselves to the contents of his wagon, they presented their guns to fire.— The poor man begged them only to spare bis life, and to take just what they chose. - But they preferred to do murder, an 1 tureu shots were lodged in his body. He lived long enough to state the lacts. While such things are of friquent occur rence, and cannot be unknown to the millta ry authorities, negro soldiers are to be seen roving about through the country in squads of three and four, with Colts repeaters swing ing behind them, and even with Spnngficld rifles upon their shoulders.— Cur. St. Louis Republican. CT r THIS OCT Huir to delect Counterfeit Rank Notes —A laic number of Paddock's Reporter contains the following rules, by which the inexperienced may bo rnabled to detect and avoid receiving counterfeit paper currency : 1. Examine the appearance of a bill—fhc genuine have a general dark, neat appearance. 2. Examine the vignette, or picture in the middle of the top ; bee if the sky or back ground locks clear aud transparent, or 6oft and even, and not scratchy. 3. Examine well the face ; see if the ex pressions are distinct and ease, natural and life like, particulate the eyes. 4. See if the drapery and dress fits well, looks natural and easy, anu huws the folds distinctly. 5. Examine the medallion, ruling, and heads and circular ornaments around the figures, etc. See if they are regular, smooth, and uniform, not scratchy. The work, in the genuine looks as if raised on the paper, and cannot be perfectly imitated. 0. Exam ne the prii eipal line of letters or name of ttie bank. See if they are all up right, perfecily true and even ; or, if slopmg, of a uniform slope. 7. Carefully examine the shade or parallel on the face or outside of the letters, etc. See if it is clear, and lO'ks as if c ilorcd with a brush. The fine parallel lines in the genuine are of equal size, and smooth and even Counterfeits look as if done with a file. 8. Observa (he round handwriting engrav ed on the bill, which should he black, equal in size and distance, ola uniform slope, and smooth. This in genuiue notes is invariably well done, and looks vety perfect. In coun terfeits it is seldom so, but ofteu looks stiff, as if done *ith a pen. 9. Notice the imprint of engraver's name, which is alwajs near the border end of the note a.il is ilviys tlik; ; letters snail upright and engraved very perfectly. Coun-* teifeiters seldom do it well. Ii has been remark ed that two things can ! not be-perlectl> counterfeited—one was the die work, or portrait medallion heads, vig. nette, &c., and the other standing or ruling above the letters. Returns from Jamaca. The Deacon of the red herring Telegraph, it appears, has at last received partial returns of the late Republican Victory in Jamaica. Yesterday (the 24th) tie said : "Jamaica was lately the scene of a bloody rencounter between the slaves and their mro ters." He has not got a full report yet of the aw ful butchery of Whites, consequently he is careful * ot to declared!, unequivocally, a Re publican Victory. He merely calls it a •'bloody rencounter ," as thoueh it was a "free fight," in which the uehigerauts were mu'ually engaged in cutting each others' throats. This last batch of returns, however, must have been reeeiyed by the Deacou from an "intelligent contraband," via the "Under ground Railroad." He savs this ''bloody rencounter" took place " between trie slaves and their masters ." The fact is there are no slaves in Jamaica. Slavery was abolished in Jamaica by the British Government whose colony it is—about thirty years ago .—Pat. <s■ Union.
