Stephens, late Vice President of the so caHed Confederate States; and Ilerschcl V. Johnson, late can didate for Vice President, on lie Doug- J las ticket, have- been elected C. S. Senators j .by the Georgia Legislature. Stephens do- J clined the position, but it was forced upon ' bim bv an almost unanimous vote. * . A1 aw imposing a tax of one }.ei cent on Bank stock; and three-fourths of one percent >n railway and canal receipts, has passed both houses of the State Legis lature,-and will doubtless be approved by the Governor. This law will go into effect in 1807, when the state tax on real estate will be removed. ALL HAIL, VETO ! The traitorous and revolutionary fanatics who are se< king to destroy our constitu tional ir. m of government, and establish in its stead a central military despotism, based on tlie aggrandizement of the negro, and j degradation of the white man, had a bomb-j shell dropped into their camp on Monday lasW President Johnson fiat-footediy, pointedly and emphatically vetoed their pet measure —the negro Bureau bill He tells them :n the most unequivocal terms, that their schemes "find no warrant in the constitution," which he, being the Presi dent of the whole country, is bound to maintain. That such gross violations of the rights of the citizens cannot be sustain ed by nim. The veto message was read amid a storm of applause from all "Union men" —(thank thee, black cop , for teaching me that word) mingled with hisses froui black re publican, "copperhead," disunionists. Its keen edged sentences t< 11 on their long ears like claps of thunder from a cloudless sky. A panic lias seized them. Consternation prevails in all their ranks. — All praise to Andrew Johnson, for his An drew Jacksonian veto of this infamou measure, and manly defense of the consti tutional lights of white men'. Let even lover of his country rejoice that it has one man, whe has the power to save and null save it fr<-m the pobot.ing touch of these red-inouthtJ, abolition, negro-worshipping destruction ists so help—him—God! "Hail Columbia, haf.py land!" Adders* uf tbe Democraltc State Central Committee. DCMOCK ATIC STATIC COMMITTER ROOMS,) HAKRISRUKG, Fi-b. 9, lSfiti. ) To the Democracy of Pennsylvania. The events o f the last political canvas ate yet fresh in your minds. You announced your unequivocal en dorsement of the restoration policy of I're sident Johnson, and denounced the doctrine of negro suffrage. Your opponents affirmed their support of the President,and cva ed the issue upon the question of stifliage. A powerful organization, large official patronage and an unscrupulous use ofmon cy, secured to them the victory. The record of the past month strips the mask from ti C face ot the victors. They treat with derision the declared policy of tl <• Pre-iio\ isions and r quiremcntsof the Rev j enue Law. It is held by the Comrnission r that a carpenter who manufactures the door frames, sashes and blinds tor a build ing he is-putting up under a ceniract is taxable thereon at the rate of six-per cent, on the market value thereof and that he must rrake monthly returns thereof to the Asistant Assessor of the Div.S'on in which his place of business is located. The language pfthe Commissioner is: that window aid dor frames, sashes, doors blinds,moulding,&*., being in them selves manufaOures, and liable to taxation when removed for sale, are equally liable to taxation when the carpenter or builder makes the same and uses them on houses built under contract. The Lancaster Intelligencer con denses the negro equality question into a nutshell, saying: "no man who is not pre pared to admit the negro to the ballot box, to the jury-box, to office and to en tire social and political equality, can con sistently vote*the Republican ticket in any coming election. No one can any longer deny that the Republican party is fully committed to negro equality." Loyal Definitions. The publishers of Webster's Dictionary has been adding new words to the Webster text, and gives in ita new one the fuilqw ing : "Copperhead—a northern sympathizer with southern rebellion." Presuming that no one will question our right to be called a copperhead, inasmuch as there is not a loyal paper in the country but has so termed, albeit no sympathizer with a southern rebellion, we accept the definition of the New England stigmatizer of honest men who thus define words will accept our analogy and definition of a few words. "LOTALTY"—A cloak worn by thieves, cowards and robbers to conceal their plun der. SUBJUGATION. —The act or art of rob bing innocent women and children. TROPHIES. —Pianos, silverware, silk dresses, laces, pictures, and other valuables stolen by "loyal" men from defenseless per bons in the South. RELIGION —A passion for blood. SANITARY FAlßS —Benevolent junk ! shops fr ni which "loyal" men and women i steal a living. , RKCONSTKfe'CTONiSTS—A person who kills his neighbor for the purpose of tear in? down his nice house to make for himself 1 a barn. I FREELMEN. — A half starved man and j brother, driven from a comfortable home to subsist by begging or to die of disease and starvation. STRATEGY. —The art of getting to the rear with a drove of mules, and what cot ; ton might have been found at the front. ECONOMY —Going abroad on pleasure boats at government expense. GOOD TlMES. —Enoimousdebt and op pressive taxation. STATESMANSHIP. —The art of telling good storv. ARMY CHAPLAIN.—A fifth rate preacher who would desert his church to follow a fife. On the whole we rather like this mak ing of D ctionarios and shall continue it af ter a while. —LaCrosse Democrat. Gen. Sherman vs. the Jacebius. Gen. Sherman is as hopeful in peace as he was faithful in war. At Detroit, he just expressed the belief that he would never again be called upon to lead an ! American army in battle. We had no I wish to interfere with other nations, and ' they would not dare attack us. He said ! further : "Our national affairs will be shortly re stored to a safe and permanent basis. — Congress, when it ha> finished a certain amount of talk—as all popular assemblies must —will speedily settle all questions.— [Applause.] A year ago you wore anx ious for the army which 1 had the honor to command. It had disappeared from your sight. You heard nothing from it, and knew not where it was nor where it was going. Exercise equal faith now. and matters will come out as well. [Cheers.] I know the man at the head of affairs at Washington, and all we have to do is to trust him, [applause,] and give him our earnest and hearty support. [Applause.] We certainly have a bright and prosper ous future before us.' Per contra to these well-expressed views of the President from a brave and intelli gent officer, wc read almost daily in such Radical journals as the Chicago Tribune the grossest insults to the Executive.— Here is a specimen : "Who does not know that Fred Doug lass' superiorty in Itgical power, in mem ory. in wit. in rhetorical eloquence, and in every charm of juratory, would leave his competitor in the shade? Mr. Johnson was talking with a gentleman who was, in all but official station, his equal, and in ma ny respects his superior. * The dignified, brief, but appropriate words of the ex slave contrast forcibly with the rambling, uiigrammatical, disconnected harangue of the President, through which the mind wanders in vain in the search for either heart, intellect, logic or coherency. The contrast between the dreary twaddle of such a speech and the pithy utterance of our late President, always keenly revealing some jewel of principle or gem of truth, is painful ii\ the cxtiemc. Fortunately, as this is a Government in which men of me diocre abilities may by accident become President, it is also a Government which the medirocity of their abilities cannot de stroy." The next day the same pr.per raves in a negro-mad strain as follows: "When a black man beards a white President in his house and shivers his half hour of argument in a half- minute of com mon sense, it is time to stop and consider whither we are drifting. We call upon the Grans and Marctzeks and IJlmanns, the singing schools and church choirs, to muster their forces for combined suppres sion of this idiot, who accomplishes with out brains more than they can with them, before the sceptre slips from their grasp and a race of black idiots sing the " Bor gia" and "Trovatore" from our stages, and "Mear' and "Boylston" fiom our choirs. The Attitude ef the President en Negro Suffrage, Artemas Ward says shooting isn't as popular in Nevada as it once was. A few years since they used to have a dead man for breakfast every morning. A reformed desperado told me that he supposed he had killed men enough to stock a grave-yard. "A feeling of remorse," he said, "sometimes comes over me! But I'm an altered man now. I hain't killed a man for over two weeks! "What'll yer poisen yourself with?" he added, dealing a resonant blow on the bar. 1 here is only one advantage that I ken see in going to the devil, and that is the rode is easy, and you are sure to get there.
