UNDER WHICH "WISG," BIELYf
Since the date of Pr:sident Johnson's ;
veto message, the sagacious Post-master j
iind editor of the nigger equality organ, at
this place, has made an important discov- !
9T y, to wit: " There in a radical wing, and
a contrrvulive wing, to the parly in power."
The announcement of this great discovery
is made with becoming solemnity in his
paper of the 7th irist. He does not tell
us, however, in direct terms, under which
wing he ails ; but, no reader of his paper
can have any doubt as to his locus in quo.
The P resident, and those who support his j
restoration policy, we take it, make up the j
M conservative wingwhile Thad. Ste- j
phens, Sumner, Philipps anil the *'Dead I
Duck'' and their adherents, compose the
radical wing. Let us inquire, under which j
of these "wings our Post master lias taken
shelter, and in doing so, will allow him to
speak for himself.
We q lote from his issue of the 21st. of !
Feb last:
'■ The President has vetoed th# Freedman's ;
Bureau Rill. VVK KEENER IT, but. though
there is considerable excitement, we hope no
acriuu* consequences will eneae."
In his next issue, Feb. 28th. speakir.g of
the veto message, and the President, he
soy?:
"While we differ from s >me the concln
aions arrived at, we are trilling, as far as (he '
ve'n itsell go s, t awuid an h >n*sty of pur
pose to its from, r, if subsequent events shall |
not conrince us of our error * *
The President no di>ub r aims to be "c n
••rvitive'' in his p<>bcy and in the details of
the great work ot reconstruct or cannot bo
expected to agree with those ; radicals," !
Charles Sumner, ami Thaddeus Stephens
whose tires hare been infused with the spirit
of universal liberty. Out of such a pngtes
siv. cast as to m ike them foreunn.ers of
events ami in leg i-ia tire halls to live ahead
of their lime. It the President, however, is
to be cajoled by fawning sycophants, and
turned aside from the high purposes he has
heretofore announced by the deceitful lu'e*
of those who have so lavishly maligned him
and hi 6 administration, the hopes and c<>nfid
ing trust* of many thousands will be baffled
and he will have to reap the results of the
popular will.
Of the same date, in a note to am article
from one of his correspondents—who at
tacks the President's restoration policy
the editor says :
"In givinir place to ho ah >ve cmmunica
lion we will siata that we are in a* great a
quandary as the writer about the mixi
ticatioa he alludes to, and have concluded to
watch the further dev.dopen.ent of the Ex
ecutive Legislative difficulty before passing a
hasty judgment on probable results. The
New Y'rk Times a- well as many other pa
pers nominally Republican (avor the meas
ures and sentiments of the President through
out, but that rep. esents but one side of the
looltiangu ar question."
In his paper of the 7th inst he says:
''More in sarrow than in anger many Re-
I oblicans and Republican prints have strorg-
Jj expressed di*sau*facMou at the unexpect
ed and singular Jreaks of the. President,
bts veto being followed up so closely by that
%peech t the street crowd in Washington,
which caused so many of the democracy to
Tun wild with excitement and joy ; hut the
dissolution of the Union party is not so near
t band a* many ol them fondly hoped."
Of the same date we fi"d the following,
copied from the Oermantown Telegraph in
relation to:
"SENATOR COWAN This gentleman who
by some hocus-pocus was some years ago
rhiieen one of the Senators from this State,
proves, a? we have more than once said be
f .reio he a southern abstractionist and a pro
•'-.very advocate in nil its phases. He votes
with the southern sympathizers against eve
ry measure calculated to benefit the poor,
emacipa'el n 'gro, without regard to its
character. lie is generally the only man in
t the Sena'p, elected as a Union man, who
votes in this nay. The other day when the
D'Strict .f Columbia Suffrage Bi'l was under
debate, he delivered the following statesman
Vke view on the question: 'lt was now
propose', afier having freed the (fc-gro, to
five him the right of suffrage. What would
•that do ? Simply increase Iris chances for
getting I's head broken at the polls by a
-stronger race. Are we to infer that Mr.
Cowan stays away 'r< m the polls fn in tear
of coming in contact with a stronger head
thwn his own ?
In his last issue apeaking of the Presi
dent and Ileistcr Clvmer, lie says :
"The President will have to stoop consid
erably below the bae of his TRICKLING
SPEECH on the 22d of February to give coun.
teuance to the election of Clytnt r or any of
bis political k<n who have been laboring to
clog the wheels of the general government.
If, after reading these extracts from the
latest editorials in the Republican , there
art any who lmve doubts as to which
"wing' its editor belongs, we ref.r theui
to the following selections taken at random
from his late papers, it. relation to Thad.
Stephens and his "rump eongres* ."
"The Pennsvlvania Delegation in the
House of Representatives contains the oldest
and the youngest members of Congress.—
Hon. Thaddeus Stephens, of the Lancaster
District, is the oldest (being seventy two
years of age,) nnd in the judgment of the
intelligence of the country, the ablest man
in that b"dv, certainly its leader ; and Hon.
C. Y.Culver,"of the Crawfoid dis'rict, the
youngest, being only thirty five. Both are
of that stamp of loyalty which beli-ves that
tbe interests of the country outweigh all
dh rs, and both are now nobly doing bstUe
fn tfiia fiiih."
And again:
"Like every member wh<> has undertaken
'n defend the restoration policy, Mr.
Riyinond use* the most contradictory
i arguments. He contends for the impossibility
i of a Sta'e going out < f the Union, and then
talks of the revolted States ' returning their
places in i'," which they cannot do if they
I have ni'vit left it ; and while denying to
Congress, the law making power of the
j government, any right # or power to dictate
i the terms of readmission, claims for the
President, who is merely tha law executing
! power of the nation, the power to make
whatever terms he chooses, thus making him
j virtually an Autocrat,"
And again :
' Our Democratic papers stigmatize this as
the' Rump Congress.'and say they can find
nothing to do but legislate for the benefit of
tho 'eternal nigger.' Such vulgar hash and
lying twaddle only show a condition of mind
lost to reason, propriety and truth. They
know very well that in real worth and
intellectual ability the present Congress is
a body ol statesmen which have seldom if
ever been surpassed, and if they are not
totally bereft of reason they know full well
thai Congress is aiming to legislate for the
benefit of all classes of our population who owe
allegiance to the government and who have a
right to claim its privileges, its legal and
its Constitutional protection."
Aud again :
•'ln the Hvuse of R( presentatives on
last Saturday, Thaddeus Stevens made
quite an amusing speech in the course of
which he ironically argued that the speech
of President J.-hhson rn the 22d of Feb. was
a hoax ; that such an address could never
have been delivered, and was palmed off as
a reality by the copperheads and they could
never make loyal Republicans of the county
believe it. 110 hoped that after showing
the fallacy cf the thing he would be
permitted to occupy the same friendly
position to the President as heretofore.—
Considerable merriment was elicited by
this little episode, ingeniously woven into
an elaborate argument on the condition of
the country in reply to a former speech of
Mr. R.iymoiid."
Black ♦'Copperheads" in Office.
It is a fact, as notorious as it is shame
ful, that most of the Internal Revenue and
Pot office appointmentees in this county
are men bitterly hostile to the 'government'
Disorganrzers, disunionists and traitors! —
We think that all such should be removed
at once ; and he nest men put in their pla
ces. There is not one of these places that
could not he bettor filled by the maimed
and crippled soldiers in our midst—raon
who have just claims upon the gratitude
of the country. And bete, let us say,once
for all, that Democrats because they are
Democrats, and therefore in favor of the
union and the policy of the President in
his efforts to maintain its integrity, do not
want < fiices fiora him; but they do want
these offices filled by loyal men—men
who sustain the President and endorse his
policy. Conservative, loyal Republicans
can ami should control them for themselves
and friends. A man who opposes John
son and his policy,is a disuniouist and has
no buaiucss to hold office under a govern
ment he seeks to destroy. Let all such
resign or be removed and let loyal Repub
licans 4ake their places. What is Andrew
Johnson charged wit! by the "black cops"
who abuse him? lie is charged with be
ing in favor of the Union and Constitution.
A Want of Dignity,
The Jeffersoiuun says; It is strange
how some people's ideas of dignity have
changed within a short time. The Amal
gamationists declare that Mr. Johnson's
speech is lacking in dignity, and that, too,
after four voars of low wit and stale buf
fooncrv which the country has endured.—
Mr. Johnson's speech was a plain, practi
cal talk to the people, an tas such will be
respond d to. It is very evident that the
war Mr. Johnson has of dealing with the
public questions is just adr.ptcd to the. re
quirements of the impudent and bullying
faction he has to deal with lie has cow
ed them already. He sent a bombshell
into their camp that perfectly amazed them,
and most froze theui stiff with horror.
Ah, ye conspirators ' —Your knees be
gin to shake, do they? Well they may,
for depend upon it, sooner or later your
hypocrisy, and treason will be laid bare to
the indignant gaze of every American.—
You pretend to have been contending for
the Union. \on know and feel it is a faise
hood. You have, by resisting the re-ad
mi.-sion of the southern Slates, placed your
selves in the attitude of disunionists and no
amount of subterfuge will blind the eyes of
the people to vour present position. You
are rapidly gefting back to your former re
lation?, Peace has stripped the lion's skin
fn>m your carcass, and you stand forth the
' same braying traitors and disunionists you
| have always been.
RILES CK TRAVEL ON RAILROADS.—
The following ' rulei of the road" are
based upon legal decision#, and ought to be
universally made known. The Courts
have decided that applicants for tickets on
railroads can be ejected from the cars if
they do not offer the exact amount of their
fare. Conductors are not bound to make
change. All railroad tickets arc good un
til used ; conditions "good this day only,"
or otherwise limiting time of genuineness,
are of noaccout t. Passengers who loose
their tickets can he ejected from the cars
unless they purchase a second one. Pas
sengers are bound to observe decorum in
the cars and are obliged to comply with
all reasonable demands to show their tick
et-'. Standing on tho platform, or other
wise violating the rules of the company,
leidersa persou liable to be put from the
train. No peison has a right to monopo
lize more seats than he has paid for and
any article left in ase t while the owner
is temporarily absent entitles him to the
place upon his return.
SHARP PRACTICE.— The Radical Re
publican Convention had not the courage
to honestly and openly .repudiate Andrew
Johnson, but they have shrewdly "whipped
the devil around the stump" by asking
Senator Cowan to resign -for what, pray ?
Because ho voted to sustain Andrew John
son,
WASH FOK BUILDINGS.—If properly np
lied, whitewash is one of the most useful
articles in the world, as it not only pte
vents the decay of wood, but promotes
the healthfullness of all baildings. Fen
ces and out-buildings if not painted,should
be supplied as often as once or twice a
year with a good coat of whitewash. —
We find in the Chemical Gazette , the fol
lowing recipe for a good whitewash or a
wash of different colors :
"Take a clean, water tight barrel, or :
other suitable cask, and put into it half a j
bushel of lime. Slack it by pouring water j
over it, boiling hot and in sufficient quan
tity to cover it five inches deep, and stir
it btiskly till thoroughly slacked. When (
the slacking has been effected, dissolve in ;
water and add two pounds of sulphate of j
zinc, and one of common salt. Those will J
cause the mash to harden, and prevent its ;
ciaching, which gi/es an unseemly ap-1
pearance to the work. If desirable, a beau- (
tiful cream color may be communicated to i
the above wash, by adding three pounds of,
yellow ochre, or a good pearl or lead color ,
bv the addition of lamp, vine or ivory black
For fawn color, add four pounds umber—
Turkish or American, the latter is the
cheaper, one "pound Indian red and one
pound common lamp black. For com
mon stone color, add four pounds of raw
umber, and two pounds lampblack. This
wash may be applied with a common white
wash brush, and will be found much supe
rior both in appearanco and durability to
common whitewash,"

Another Amendment.
It is rumored that a prominent member
of the Committee on Reconstruction has
prepared and means to offer in Congress,
in a few days, the following additional
amendment to the Constitution :
ARTICLE XCV. That no States shall
be admitted to the representation in Con
gress until, by a provision embodied in its
fundamental law;, it pledges its citizens
never to claim restitution of any pianos
watches, finger rings, spoons, silk dresses
books, pictures, sideboards, wines, liquors
carriages and other portable property which
tnay at any time, under the pres.-ure of
military necessity, have been transferred,
shipped, removed or carried away from
therr residences, cellars, grounds, out-hous
es or stables, and delivered into the care
and keeping of loyal citizens of New Eng
land—and all persons claiming or assert
ing title to any such portable property so
removed, shall be excluded from the basis
of representation, and be forever disquali
fied to hold any otfice of trust or profit
under the State or General Government.
— .
The Sensitive Rumps.
An extraordinary scene occurred in the
House of Representatives on Thursday
last. Mr. Smith, ot Kentucky, in denounc
ing the theory that the late rebel States
were out of the Union, said that such a
doctrine was a "damnable heresy." Mr.
Broomal, of Pennsylvania, immediately
raised a point of orrler, that the language
used by the gentleman from Kentucky was
improper, because it pronounced the opin
ion of a majority of the House a damnable
heresy —and he was sustained by the Speak
er and the House ! The Rumps are cer
tainly getting sensitive. The position,
that no members of that body lias a right
to reflect upon " the opinion of the major
! ity," is as absurd as it is tyrannical. A
more flagrant violation of the constitution
al rights of the representative, never be
fore disgraced even tire present turbulent
and factious Congress. At one time the
radicals asserted that it was "disloyal." to
oppose the President, who was, according
to their peculiar logic, "the government."
Now, they assume the same position pre
cisely in regard to "the opinion of the ma
jority." What next, front these Congres
sional Solons?— Age.
(V The present Congress passed, with
out hesitation, a bill which contemplated
an expenditure of twenjy millions of dol
lars per annum for the maintenance of ne
groes.
Andrew Johnson vetoed it, and the Dem
ocratic party sustained him.
The same Congress has neglected to ap
propriate one cent to the equalization and
payment of bounties due white soldiers.
The Democratic party demand that they
should do so, and Andrew Johnson is with
them.
Who are the soldiers' friends ? Those
who postpone his intere&ts to the elevation
ot the negro, or those who demand that the
elevation of the negro shall be postponed
to his interests? The people will answer
at the polls.
<aT An exchange says " there is a man
up in our country who always pays for his
paper in advance. He has never had A
sick day in his life, n< veihud any corns or
toothache : his potatoes never rot; the wee
vil never eats his wheat; the frost never
kills I lis corn or beans; his babies never
cry at night, and his wife r.ever scolds.

PLAIN TALK.— Samuel Johnson, who
made a dictionary, would have said : "I
will not expend pulverized particles of ex
plosive materials on aqneous and fugacious
fowls " Andrew Johnson says in plainer
phrase: "I don't waste |>owder upon

the best, dignity or do dignity.— Age.
Jenkins' Ears.
We hear a good deal about history re
peating it sell, and so, to a certain extent,
it does, and sometimes very oddlv. There
is a case just now in point. In the early
part t)f the last centurv, there was a certain
Captain Robert Jenkins, who pretended he
had been captured by the Spaniards, who
had cut off one of his ears, which they
kindly handed back to him, bidding him to
carry it to his King, his most gracious Ma
jesty, George 11. "He wrapped it in cot
ton," says Lord Malum, " and showed it
to everybody." Jenkins' ears made a tre
mendous hubbub,and, in spite of Sir. Rob- j
ert Walpole, forced England into a foolish i
way. Now, this Jenkins'story was noth-j
ing to ours, which we will repeat with as
much calmness as we can command. It i
is difficult, however, to write composedly
on such a theme. Our hand trembles, and, |
certainly our ears tingle, as we read of
"Jenkins" multiplied by eight. The Press
has a special despatch from Washington
describing the ravages ot two bands,amoun
ting in the aggregate to twenty or more,
beaded by one Coleman, io South Carolina.
It then adds, in italics: "The leaders of
these guerrillas is a desperate character,
and exhibits as the trophies of his 2' rov, <ss,
eight ears cut from colored perrons."
The Inquirer improves the story, and
makes it more like Jenkins by this : "Cole
man, the leader, is a desperate character. — .
lie has exhibited to several persons eight,
cars cut from the heads of colore! men. — ;
He carries them in an envelope , arid prides j,
himself on exhibiting them as trophies."
It is not stated how long these enclosures !
have been carried in a warm climate, or by
what antiseptic process they are preserved, j
It is possible they may not be sensitive, j
but simulated eartips. Jenkins carried his
own ear with him, and showed whence it
had been taken. These eight earless frced
men ought to come North and testify, or
they ought to he photographed. Qur hope,
however, is that the hideous story is not
true, and this hope is strengthened by the
following statement, as to snouts, which
appeared editorially in the Ledger on the
verv day when the Press and Inquirer i
startled the community with the " bloody
cars."
A YANKEE TRICK.—Some of the Tankecs are
stilt at their old tricks. In New Brunswick, the j
authorities recently sought to encourage bear kill- 1
ing by offering three dollars premium for each bear
that was killed, the proof to be the production of
the snout. The large number of snouts presented,
chiefly by Indians, led to an investigation, wnen it
was discovered that the Yankees over in Maine man
ufactured them of lifdia rubber, and sold them to j
the iudians at fifty cents a piece.
Covode ought to g<-down and investigate
this matter; andif our Shanksvillc Brigadier
eoulu capture Coleman and his "envelope,"
so much the better.— -Age.
Taking Winchester.
Tlmre is a town up the valley of \ irgin
ia called Winchester. It was the scene
of some fighting when Geary was not in
the neighborhood and Stonewall Jackson j
was, and was the point where Banks and j
Milroy ran away. For a long time, how
ever, it was a desolate and untenated spot,
which anybody with a corporal's guard,
could take and occupy. Then it was that
our "hero" wa*= at hand, and it was a say
ing in the army, that "whenever Geary
was not in the newspapers for a week, he
was sure to take Winchester."

Side Walks,--It will be seen by reference to a
Borough Ordinance, published in our paper to-day,
that the Burgees and Town Council direct the build
ing of side walks upon all our principal streets. The
shabby aad dilapidated condition of our walks for
the past year has been a positive disgrace to the
town It is hoped that all upon whom is eDjoined
the duty ot "mending their ways," will down with
the walks and no grumbling !
The stove and Till Shop on Warren St. in
this place, with all the stock, tools and fixtures has
lately been purchased by C. D. Gearhart A Co. The
purchasers intend continuing the business in all its
branches at the old stand—making it an adjunct to
their foundo ry and machine shop. They are now en
abled to supply the wants of the public in Mill-Gcar
ing, Agricultural implements, Cooking aud Parlor
Stores, Stove furniture, pails,pans and indeed every
thing from a Mamoth Mill crank to a tin baby's '
whistle or a baby's tin whis.le-—we don't remember |
which.
After Oil. - -Our Nicholson friends were never
more in earnest than they are in their determina
tion to test, in the most thorough manner, their
supposed oil territory. Almost without effort the
requisite amount of stock has been subscribed for
that purpose, and immediate operations will bo com- \
menced. We wish them su cess in their undertak
ing. A notice to the stockholders will be found in
our paper to-day, which was received at too lute a
date for publication ia our lust isue.
Out of the Draft,—A large number of men
from Overfield Township were brought up to this
place on Monday last, charged with malicious mis
chief in opening the dam of an old saw-mill hardly
worth a dan—and letting out a flood of stagnant
water, which for the past year has spread malarious
diseases throughout that whole region of country
Justice Terry beforo whom the hearing was had—

tives—whose native place is within a few miles of
us, is personally known to very many of our readers
Whatever difference of opinion there may bo as to
Mr. Grow, politically, there can be but one opinion
as to his skill, foresight, integrity and ability in
matters ot business. Those of our leaders who have
a surplus of the greenbacks, and with to invest in
oil stocks, should carefully consider the advantages
offered by this Company before venturing too far
in oths* slippery (oily) piojects.
