ST < icld was quoted in New York, a |
clay or two since,at §1,25.
Billy Bojjjess tells us in his last is
sue that non-reporting conscripts are to be
disfranchised by r a law now before the
Legislature TJtst Fall he told us that the
conscript law had already setticd the ques
tion ; and got several stupid election offi
cers to adopt an act upon his opinions, at
the risk of prosecutions, for misdemaanors.
Billy don't seem to understand that our
% Constitution fixes the qualifications of
eh c ors, and that in order to disfranchise
white men or enfrenchise niggers, a change
in that instrument will have to be made,
Billy, being a draft sneak himself, is
probably opposed to any change in the
Constitution, on that point, and in favor ot
a Legislative enactment which will dis
criminate between those who used lving.
fraud and deception, and those who usd
their legs to avoid the diaft.
Wonder if Billy is in favor of disfran
closing those "loyal" fellows in Nicholson,
who got out by virtue of his bogus enroll
ment lists?

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION. —The fol
lowing correspondence between the] Post
master at Ilartford, Cor mcticut, and the
President, speaks for itself—it needs no com
ment-English is the Democratic candidate:
"POSTOFFICE, HARTFORD, Conn., Mafcli

"SIR: I am now engaged in publicly ad
vocating the election of James E English
as candidate for < iovernor of Connecticut, a
gentleman who is openly committed to the
support of your veto, to the defeue of \ our
22d of February speech, and of your poli
cy of restoration in opposition to the Dis
unionists of Connecticut. lam opposing
the election of General Joseph R. llawley,
who openly disapproved of your veto and
of your 22d of February speech, and de

the Radical majority in Congress. If un
political action is uot satisfactory to von, I
beg you to receive my resignation as Post

"Executive Mansion, March 23."
Office-Iloltleru vs, the President.
Among the Delegates to the late Re
publican Disunion State Convention at
llarrisbnrg were Algernon S. Cadwallader,
and Edward T. < )ehs, of this county, the
former Collector of Internal Revenue for
the Fifth Congressional District, and the
lattr Postma-ter at Quakeitown. Both
are Federal office-holders, the first the most
lucrative in the district, and took part in a
convention which refused to endorse the
President, and which action tliey sustained
by their totes. Their nainos are both ic
orded among the "ayes" in the passage of
the Anti Johnson resolution which his
fne da tried in vaiu to have amended. In
speaking of the refusal of the Convention
to endorse the President, the Press of the
bill intant says :
"if the amendment of Mr. Carnaharn.
the I S. Attorney of the Western distiicl
of this Sta e, who was also a delegate from
Allegheny, intended to secure a partial en
dorsement of the President, and had not
been withdrawn, it would not have re
ceived another vote, beside his own. So
decided was the Convention that even the
regular resolution on the President, stern
as it was in holding him to his early
pledges, was opposed by twenty-one dele
gates, who did uot think it went far
enough. These negative votes were cast
by Radicals* not by Conservatives."
No butter* evidence than this can be ad
duced on the subject.*
llow Messrs. Cadwallader and Ochs can
consent to hold places under an admiqis
tratioir which they oppose wc cannot de
termine, but they w ill continue to do it
until ihey are removed, tor thev belong to
a class of whom it may be said, "few die
and none resign." A few months ago Mr.
McCullough, without cause, ;tod to "please
the radical member of Congress from this
district, Mr. Thayer, removed Mr. Cowell,
a conservative Republican and a supporter
of the President's policy, from the Collect
or, s office, and appointed Mr. Cadwallader
in his plaQp. The lattur has not yet been
confirmed. We have no suggestions to
make to the President, but will say if he
expects his policy to succeed, the Federal
office-holders should not be pcrmittad to
give aid and comfort to iris em mies.—

GENERAL CASS —The health of the ven
* erable Lewis Cassis rapidly fading. He
scarcely sits up at all, and Lis death is dai
ly expected.
The "People" who are to Rule the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Betore slavery was abolished the "Re
publican*' leaders asserted that the ne
groes, if freed, would be fully capable of
taking car-* of themselves. They seem,
latterly, to have vastly changed their beliefs
upon this subject. Take, tor instance, the
thousand and one amendment to the Con
stitution. and the bills, resolutions, See.,
which have been offered or passed in the
Rump for the fostering and support of the
blacks, among which prominently stands
the vetoed Freed man's Bureau bill.
later instance, take the follow : ncr f rom th e
Rump Senate proceedings ot the 20th :
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont,
moved U r the Appropriation of $25,000
COr the relief of destitute colored people of
the District of Coloumbin. Mr. Saulsbury,
Democrat, of Delaware, moved to amend
by making the expenditure applicable to
white je >ple, but the chair refused to re
ceive the amendment. Mr. Morrill said
there were ]5,0u0 destitufi c lored people in
thecity! Mr. Saul-bury offered an amend
ment appropriating $25,000 additional for
the destitute white people. The amend
in nt was rejected by the Senate. Mr.
Davis, Democrat, of Kentucky, moved
that the corporate authorities find employ
ment for all able-bodied black people, and
that $5,000 be appropriated for that pur
pose. This was also rejected by the Sen
ate. oh . Saulsbury then moved that the
money be expended under the direction of"
the Mat or, an J not of the Superintendent
ot the Freedinen's Bureau. The Senate
rejected this. The joint resolution, as off
ered by Mr. Morrill, was then voted on,
and passed by a large majority !
We will simply remark that these "fif
teen thousand destitute colored people"
for whom §24,000 of the people's money
has thus been appropriated, arc the same
to whom this same Bump Congress desires
to entrust the municipal government of
\Va>hington. by making voters of all male
negroes of the age of twenty-one. It is
true that poverty should be no tgtr to po
litical qualification; but this confessed
destitute population of fifteen thousand has
but lat lv arrived from every part of the
South ; the negroes Composing it have no
know ledge of civil government, and can
have no interest in the welfare of the city;
for the most part they are constitutional
vagrants; many of them are vicious and
criminal; and almost all are lazy and worth-

election News,
Sp:ing elections are lint to be taken, in
all cases, as a proper index to the senti
•nenis an 1 feelings ot the people ; though
in many instances they are made the test,
limy are generally made so in large towns.
In Fasten, Fa.. the election was contes
ted, an 1 resulted in a Democratic gain of
155 since last fall.
In Norristown the vote was precisely as
it was last fall.
In \oik, Fa, the Democratic increase
was 144 votes.
'I he 1 b-mocratic gain in Bedford, the
home of John C essna, is 46.
Ihe election in 11. rrisburg resulted in
the triumphant success of the Democratic

nigg rites gained the city by 3 majoyitv.
Danville, Montour Count';, g., elected a
b nion Democratic Mayor, over a Loyal

"Tits RADICAL HOUNDS." —The New
■ York Tim credited by Weed and Raymond
observes: ,
The firmness of tlm Executive is just as
essential to the salvation of the country
this year as it xvas when the radical hounds
were on Mr. Lincoln's track four vears ago.
In another article on the "Secret Direc
, tory of Fifteen," the Times says in conclu
ding a review of the effect produced by its
I sessions and schemes :
i Meanwhile affairs in the South will in
evitably crow worse. The loval people,
deserted bv Congress, will gradually lose
| heart, and imperfectly reconstructed rebels
will n< surelv become mo re violent. The
] industry upon which depends so largely
; our ability to avert a enmmercial crisis re
-1 tnains paralysed.
For these ev Is the country will hold the
a! fiction responsddc. And if dias
tem overtake the Union Party anywhere
in the North, the result will he attributable
to the scandal which the Radicals in and
out of Congress are entailing upon it for
their own mischievous purposes.
LOOKING FOR A BERTH —While the
boat was Iving at Cincinnati, just roadv to
start for Louisville, a young man came on
.lv ard, leading a blushing damsel by the
hand, ?nd approaching the clerk in a sup
preyed nice: "I say." he exclaimed,
•'me and my wife have just got married,
and I'm looking for accommodations "
"Looking for a berth?" hastily inquired
the clerk tickets out to another
passenger "A birth? thnnder and light
ning no!" gasped the young man, "we
ain't but just got married! we want a place
to stay all night you know, and—abed."
THE SO-CALLED "CIVIL RIGHTS BIIL "
which is intended to do all that Congress
can legally do to elevate negroes to the
light of citizenship, has finally passed both
Houses of Congress, and will soon be pre
sented to the President. It declares all
persons born in this country, except In
dians not taxed, to he citizens of the Uni
ted States, and provides for securing them
in the enjoyment of their civil rights of
person and property, including voting and
holding office of course. But why exclude
Indians ? Were they not the original
owners of the soil.
Fanny Fern says the men like to
"pick the ladies to pieces." Prentice re
plies that it is certainly pleasant to take
one of them apart sorq^times.
CIVIL RIGHTS BlLL.—This bill now
awaits the President's—veto. The bill
provides that—
•'There shall be no discrimination in civ
il rights or immunities among citizens o[
the United States, on account of re- oe oc
color, or previous condition ofsl^ Ter yj"
And specifically declare* that
Jhe same righ* to make ■ and enforce
cont ™ cts ' sue, be parties, and give evi
dence tQ purchase, lease, sell, hold
and convey real and personal property,and
to-full and equal benefit of all laws and
proceedings for the security of person and
property as is enjoyed by white citizens,
and shall be subject 10 like punishment,
pains and penalties, and to none other, any
law, statute or ordinance, regulation of cus
tom to the contrary notwithstanding.
The President has probably said enough
upon the subject of the powers of Congress
and the rights of States to indicate that he
will veto this bill upon the ground of un
constitutionality. It is with the States, re
spectively, to determine the civil status of
their citizens. There is nothing in the
Constitution to prevent them from so do
ing, and there is nothing therein in any way
warranting Congress in the assumption of
such power. Neither a full Congress nor
a fragment of one is qualified or empow
ered to pass such a bill.
The second section to the amendment
abolishing slavery, empowers Congress to
pass all laws necessary to make its "aboli
tion effectual; but this bill goes beyond
the power granted. Instead of confining
legislation to the securing of freedom to the
freed negroes, the Pump undertakes to
confer civil rights, under the false plea that
the possession of such rights are necessary
to secure freedom to the late slaves. As
well might it be said that suffrage and full
political rights—the right to hold office
and serve on juries, &c., —is necessary to
secure freedom to the blacks.
Tt is probable, should the bill in ques
tion become a law, that it will soon be as
serted thereafter, that full political lights
are necessary to secure full freedom to the
negroes, and then there will be another
bill passed, securing the blacks full equali
ty with the white people.
Such acts of legislation should be nipped
in the bud ; first, because they are uncon
stitutional; and, secend, because they are
the entering wedges to the disruption of all
constitutional guarantees, and the despica
ble machinery with which politicians are
working to erect a centralized, demagogue
ridden despotism.— Patriot Sc Union.
The New Hampshire Election
The Concord Patriot, of the 21st in
stant, furnishes the following, as the result
of the recent election in New Hampshire :
We give the vote of all but a few small
towns at the late election and a nearly
complete list of the representatives chosen.
It will brfsecn that the vote is verv large
—being about 65,500 —about 36,050 for
Smyth and 30,5u0f0r Sinclair. The Dem
ocrats have added about 3,400 to their last
year's vote and the Radicals about 900 to
theirs. Smyth's majority is less than 4,600,
while it was 6,070 iast year, making a Dem
ocratic net gain of fully 1,500.
But let it be borne in mind that this is
the gain upon the Governor vote of last
year. The soldiers in the field did not
vote for Governor then, but have done so
at home this vesr ; and they did vote last
yee.r in the field for members of Congress*
Thefore, to show the real gain of the De
mocracy in this election, the vote should
be compared with that for members of Con
gress. The majority against us. on that
vote was 7,968, and their majority against
us now is 4,600, and the real Democratic
net gain is therefore full 3,350.
The Democrats have elected 113 repre
sentatives so far as heard from, and the
Radicals 206. If the towns'not heard from
have chosen men of like character as last
year/the House will stand 120 Democrats
to 206 Republicans ; Republican majortty
86, Last year the House stood—Demo-
Republicans *214 ; Republican
majority 100 ; Democratic net gain in the
House 14.
Bring back the Stolen Property.
Rev. C. C. Pinckncv, of Charleston. S.
C., makes the following public, for the res
toration of the plate of his church that was
stolen at the time of the sacking and burn
ing of Columbia, February, 1805 :
CHARLESTON, Jan. 4, 1865,
Among the calamities which have be
fallen many of our churches in the past
year, is the entire or parlial loss of our
church plate. My own Church (Grace
Church) had a full and handsome com
munion service s , which was sent to Co
lumbia for safety. Tt was lost in the sack
of that city by Sherman's armv on Fehrna
iv 18th last. The communion plate of
St. Michael's, Charleston, the gift of
Oilmen Anne, and that of Trinity Church,
Columbia, was all stolen, or destroyed in
the fire on that occasion.
Tt has occurred to me that you might do
something to aid us in the recovery of
some, at least, of these vessels, endeared to
us by use and bv so mariv religious associ
ations. They have probablv been offered
for sale in the larger cities of the North.—
The* may have fallen into the hands of
some who are willing to restore them on
just terms, to their rightful owners. Each
piece of plate of my own chnrch was dis
tinctly marked "Grace Chnrch, Charles
ton." The others were, T presume, in
like manner engraved with the names of
thir churchest
The record hook of St. Michael's Chnrch
more than one hundred years old, was car
ried off. Tt "was seen in the hands nf par
ties going North from Charleston. It is a
very valuable book. The members of the
Church will be under obligations to you,
if you assist them to recover it.
Yours verv respectfully,
C. C. PINCKNEY.
On reading the President's Message

ttottmUs.
The following is from the thirteenth
"plank ' that windy concoction called
Republican platform:
" Resolved , That Congress _ "should not
fail to make an equitable adjustment of
bounties and alowance to tl.e brave men
who were engaged in the military service
of the country."
Certainly the Ru.up will not "fail."—
Hasn't it already passed a bill for the liqui
dation of the claims of hundreds of #weal
thy speculators ? llasn't it given the Ne- j
gro Bureau twelve million dollars to buy ;
rations for Sambo, Cuffee, and the rest ? .
Hasn't it made a free gift of twenty-five !
thousand dollars to Mrs. Lincoln, and clos
ed its eyes and ears about missing spoons
and bed linen 1 llasn't it given the Dis
union Fifteen thousand dollars to prove
(if tbey can) that the Union oughtn't to
be restored? Hasn't it donated fifteen
thousand dollars to a Miss Somebody for
writing out a list of missing soldiers?—
Hasn't it given some Italian fellow forty
i thousand dollars for painting some abomin
able caricatures upon the plastered walls
of the rotunda ? Hasn't it paid one hun
dred thousand dollars for Ford's theatre for
a lumber room ? And hasn't it passed a
Negro Bureau bill which was designed to
cost the hard-working taxpayer# several
hundred million dollars ?
Of course "Congress should not fail,"
but as not one dollar has vet been allowed
for soldiers' bounties, and not a single ef
fort has yet been made for that purpose, it
is likely that the "boys in blue" will h-ve
to wait until the "boys" in black have been I
served. Then, if any shall he left from
"de fust table," "Congress" may not "fail"
to consider the matter. — Patriot and Un

the coming year,to support that institution, j
The expenses of the whole government j
did not costjniuch, i. any, more than this j
before the war of 1812. What amount do
oui readers suppose that Pennsylvania pays
to clothe, feed, and educate negroes ? We
will tell you. In 1805 this State paid a
little more than one eighth ef an entire in
ternal revenue of the country, and will pay
about the proportion for 1800. This gives
Pennsylvania's share of expenses of the
Negro Bureau, about $1,500,000. What
think you, tax-payers of Pennsylvania, of
paying a million and a half of dollars an
nually to support negroes ? How long
are you willing to be thus taxed ? Re

CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT, —Presi-
dent Johnson,in conversation the other (lay
with a friend who assured him of the hearty
approval of his policy by the people, irre
spective of party, remarked, with great
truth in reference to the obstacles which
Congress is throwing in his way, that—
"The members have now been in session
for three months without accomplishing
anything practical in the way of restoring
the South, and while continuing WV oppose
the Executive plan, they fail to bring for
ward one of their own."
And why not? Because they don't want
the South restored to the Union. It is no
cause of joy to the radicals that the rebel
lion has fai ed.
In the early period of the war, De
mocrats were persecuted, mobbed and cast
into dungeons as traitors for saying that
the war WHS being carried OH by the "Re
publican" party not for the Union, but to
secure freedom for the negroes and votes
for their party. When it became evident
that the South would have to succomb the
"Republican" leaders threw off the mask,
and boldly declared that the war was for
the African and his race. They are now
buckling up that declaration by opposing
the restoration of the Union. Secrfet ene
mies are always more to be feared than
open ones, therefore it is that the traitors
now holding powers arc more apt to destroy
the Government than those who openly
defied its authority, femght it and are re
pentant. *
■■ ■
A GOOD SUGGESTION.—A New York
paper recommends Stevens, Sumner and
other radical Abolitionists in Congress,
to get up an amendment to the Constitu
tion compelling the Negroes to work for a
living' and intimates that this would be
placing them as near on an equality with
the white man as they should be placed by
Congressional legislation. White men have
to toil in order to support themselves and
families, and we can see no good reason
why the negroes should be kept in idle
ness and fed and clothed at the public ex
pense.
Our Republican friends are all try
ing to ride two horses. They pretend to
endorse the President, and yet they sup
port General Geary forGo/crnor, who was
the pet candidate of Forney and Stevens—
the callumniators of the President -and is
known to be violently opposed to "the
government." They seem to be in favor
-of either Thaddcus Steven or Andrew
Johnson ; it don't matter which if they can
only keep on the winning side
The Governor of Massachusetts has
appointed the sth of April as a day of
fasting, humiliating ar.d prayer, because
of recent events adverse to the Yankee
, party. The plunderers are desired to
| mourn for the loss of the flesh pots. —
j Their sorrow will be genuine, this time, no
doubt.
The negro-suffrage,anti-Johnson or
gans claim a "brilliant victory in New
Hampshire." Here is the brilliance : In
the fall of 1865 they had 7,900 majority ;
in the spring of 1866 they have 4,400—a
loss of 3,500 in less than half a year !
At that ratio of "brilliancy" next year they
will be swept entirely off the slate.
