Unconstitutional and Anti-Repub-
iican Schemes,

We find in the papers the following
Washington dispatch, shadowing forth, 4
little stronger than Mr.. ColflX did, the
designs of the Disqnion party in Congress
WASHINGTON, Nov. m.-The National
RebUblicda of Monday says bill has been
drafted and will probably be offered imme-
diately after the organization of the House
for the organization of governments for the
States heretofore in rebellion, by the APP
pointmcnt of Governors with power to call
conventions. to frame new constitutions, on
the approval of which by Congress, the
reconstructed States are to be admitted by
a special act
This bill cannot be offered with the sane
ton of the Republican party, for that
party Is, we have been Informed, pledged
To support President JohnsOns plan of res
toration.
The plan alluded to in the foregoing
dispatch is quite different from that of the
President. II assumes that the States lately
in rebellion have been and are still out of
the UniOn-that they were successful in
secession, and that they had the power to
dissolve their connection with the Union.
If this doctrine is true, the South ern
states have actually been a foreign Power,
just as they claimed to be, and are now
held only by the force of military author
ity, as n conquered foreign country.
This is the doctrine of the radicals, who
are Disunionists, and do not mean to have
restored Union, unless the Southern peo-
pie come IN huniliated, as subjects and not
as citizens ofa common and glorious Re
public.
Itisa shocking violation of the principles
OF restoration ennnciated by President
Johnson, and If successfully carried ont,
would change, in an essential manner, the
character of our government.
II centralizes power; "a danger to which
the Republic is now much exposed, and
which true Union men, of all paries, should
guard against. III successful, il would
50 far abridge the liberties which the peO-
pie have long enjoyed as to render them
almost NOTWITHSTANDING precedent which
would work vast evils IN the future, and be
felt at no distent day, most oppressively in
New England.
The tendency of the day is TO danger, and
the friends of Liberty should consider,
thOughtfully, the issues presented 10 them,
and without party bias guard against an
invasion frights without which the expert
ment OF a republican form of government
here would be . tailure.-HdrtfOTd Times.

Dayton Empire.

The first number of the new series of this
paper appeared ON Saturday last. Mr.. Ii.
II. Robinson, with his assistant, Mr.. ID. g.
Fitch, have succeeded in bringing order out
of chaos, and have sent ms very neat
tically as sound rs could be desired. The
Empire has passed through many trying
vicissitudes, especially after the opening OF
the late war. An editor assassinated; his
successor imprisoned for some weeks by
military authority; subsequently, the Office
closed by the same exercise of power and
held for nearly two months; then broken
into by mob and all thrown into pie; il
may be regarded rs marvellous that a basis
was left on which to reconstruct such a pa
per as Mr.. Robinson has sent US. II i neat,
full of well-dlgested matter, and looks fun
of life. Ii we We're called upon for our
Judgment, we would say 1t Is bound to be

A Costly Carpet.

A special despatch to the N. Y Herald
saws
One of the late acquisitions to the House
of Representatives is a carpet imported
from England, costing the round sum of
seven thousand dollars. 1t is very elegant
in pattern and ofthe finest quality; but the
opinion is not wanting among the crowds
of people that daily visit the Capital and ex-
anime the splendid appointments of the
Representative chamber that the fabric in
question could with greater propriety have
been had from an American loom, instead
of beyond the seas. Such is small spec
linen of the economy of the great NOR
al refrrm party, which came into pow
er with Mr. Lincoln on loud mouthed
professions of retrenchment and reduction
of expenses 1t is a mere item, the small
| est possible fragment in the sum total OF
m, reral extravaganza and reckless expendi-
t,ro for ,-vhich the administration of the Re-
nubliean nar,v have been distinguished
Tbore is . time ron, ing when oppressed and
over burden ed people will bring that spend
thrift organization to a sew ere 'ccAoii"s

Talk. of q Railroad.

THE TowANDA 81 STATE LINE r. r. is
now in progress. Contracts are being made
for the delivery of ties, timber and other ma
terial for it, along the line of the canal, at
any points from Meshoppen lin this County,
northward The company will push the
work TO rapid completion and will proba
bly, have it well nigh, if not entirely finished
by the close of canal navigation in 1866.
The contemplated continuation of thi S
road to inters ct the coal fields at Pittston is
only question of time, which those along
the route, can hasten by giving such en-
enlargement as they should, in the way of
taking stock giving releases &c. In nine
teen cases out of twenty the supposed dam
ages on account of its construction would be
compensated four-fold in the enhanced val
ue of property through which it passes. We
want and must have this great connecting
link of Railway. We want il, for the pur-
poses of trade and travel. We want it to
bring foreign capital and enterprise into
our County: to establish manufactures &c
all KINDS ana TO lnfase life and spirit into
! our people. We want it to develop the
resources of the County and build up our
towns and villages. We want it that we
may have an easy, cheap and safe mode of
sending off our surplus products; and re-
ceiving in return our coal and merchandise,
all the year around We want it to put
stop to the exorbitant prices of foreign
goods brought here on carts and wagons.
We want it: because without it we are, and
ever will be, "out in the woods" Let ey-
cry man along the line give his voice, his
land, and his money for Rail road and
we shall not be long in getting one. Let
no man stand in the way of his own interests
by playing the "dog in the manger." But
rather let every one encourage the enter
prise by freely releasing any imaginary
damages, on the condition only that road
be built within a stipulated number of
years. ...e
There are many of our good old Grand
mas and pas to whom a ride from their
doors, behind the steam horse of thirty or
forty miles to the hour, would be blessngas
well as novelty. 1t would iGfuse new life and
70 ung blood into their almost frozen veins
and let the fresh air and sunlight into their
dropping hearts. That they may all live
to take such ride is the ardent wish and
hope. of the " b. Democrat.

times be had won, and score of times had
refused promotion but his proud title was
THE First Grenadier of France. At
length on desperate day, fatal bullet
pierced his breast. and he died, as he had
lived, soldier. But by al order OF the
Emperor his name was retained upon the
rolls, and at every inspection Gnd review
the name Of La Tour d Auvergne was call
ed by the Adjutant in the presence OF the
army, and it was the privilege of the oldest
grenadier to step to the front and answer

death-that they, too, died upon the field

without exception, the meanest of all
publications issued in this country is Har-

under the eyes of every man who travels
fifty miles on a railroad train. Pretending
