The Plan of Reconstruction.

We suppose President JoHNsoN's mind
was turned in favor of the particular mode
OF reconstruction which he is carrying out,
partly by the fact that it was the mode first
adopted dy President LINCoN, and applied
by him TO the State of Tennessee; partly by
the circumstance that, as Provisional Gov
enor of Tennessee, Mr.. JOHNSON had an ex-
cellent opportunity of testing the practicability
and value of the plan and partly by the.fact
that no other plan had been suggested to
which there were not greater objections than
there were to the Tennessee plan.
Whatever may be the case with our
Southern States, it is certain that Tennessee
will have full Congressional delegation in
Washington the coming Winter The two
Senators and ten members of the House to
which the State is entitled have been cleo
ted, and will appear in their places with their
credentials 1t is not likely that Congress
will refuse to admit these gentlemen to their
seats and, if they are admitted, it is hard
to see how admission can be refused to those
who are, or then shall have been elected,
from Arkansas or Mississippi, under like cir
cumstances, and after the same order
Special policies or actions of the Presl-
dent, such asithe exercise of the pardoning
power, are often confounded with the Lin
| coln-.J johnson plan or the theory of political
reconstruction, and the latter is conde mned
or approved according to ones opinions up.
on these questions But important as these
may be as public questions, important a:
their indirect bearings may be upon the pa
cifcation of the Union, they do not, strictly
speaking, form part Of the systematic the
ory of political reorganization now being ap
piled to the Southern States Its step:
and incidents are simply these: The sweep
ing away of the local rebel powers and au
thorities in the various States the appoint
ment by the President of Provisional Gov,
erners, possessed of authority to call State
Conventions, which have power to revise the
organic laws of their respective States, anG
provide for the resumption of the functions
of Government by the constitutional legisla
tive and executive agents elected by the peo
pie; these legislative agents and helegalvo
ters completing the work by choosing the
State Representatives. These are the fun
damental facts and these are the sequences
in the Tennessee plan Of reconstruction
which is gradually being carried out now il
all the Southern States, with slight vari
alton in the case of Virginia.
So far as the plan itself is concerned car
a better one be devised? Has any other equal

Jndge Scoheld's Address.


The Utica papers contain the address of
Hon. G. w. Scoield, at the Agricultural
Fair of the State of New York. 1t is an
able document, and was received with
marked attention. As the crowded state OF
our columns precludes its publication, we
give the following to show what others think
of it. The Utica Daily Herald prints the
address entire, and says:
'sThe address was delivered Yesterday af-
ternoon, l4th September, by Hon. G.. W.
Scofeld, OF Pennsylvania. We do our
readers the service of printing In full. 1t
is an elaborate and able production, and
was received with much favor by those who
heard 1t. So far as he advocates the study
of natural science, his positions are com
mendable so far as he assails classical
studies, his argument does not carry con-
viction. As whole, the address deserves
the thoughtful consideration of all who wish
to elevate agriculture, and to put it where
it belongs, at the head of the professions. .
The Erie Daily Dispatch says:
We notice in the Utica papers the address
delivered before the New York State Fair by
6. W. Scofeld, the Congressman from this
district. 1t is very able and instructive
document

The Union Party.

One year ago, remarks the Somerset Hei'-
aid, the Union party carried the most
terrible load with which party ever enter
ed canvass, and yet Pennsylvania gure
President Lincoln t,centy thousand majority
Does any one fear that Hartra Mt and Camp
bell cannot be now elected if the proper ex-
ertions be made? A year ago there was no
drafts were being enforced carrying terror to
the homes of many of the voters, and the
public debt was accumulating with frightful
rapidIty: yet the people courageousy deter
mined to adhere to the administration and
with Gen. Grant to fight it out on that line. :"
Now We go into the canvas with the war en-
ded drafts ended, and the increase of the
public debt ended, all being results of the
policy pursued by the Union party 4 year
ago the copperheads went into the canvass
with the declaration that the war was a fail
ure, that peace could only be restored by a
compromise with the rebels, that liberty of
speech and of the press had been destroyed,
that the Constitution had been violated in
every esSehttai particular, ana tnat drafts
would never cease nor the war be ended, un-
til the democracy We're restored to power"
All these assertions were repudiated by the
people at the polls, and the inexorable logic
of events have since proven their falseness
and absurdity. The Union party stands be-
sore the people now, with all its pledges full
filed, with victory inscribed upon its ban
ners, and with the most glorious record ever
presented by any party. Success is assured
if we are but half as true to our party, as
we have been to our country during the last
four years

Tile Fenian Alarm.

There is an organization of Irishmen
known as the Fenian Brotherhood, whose
declared object is the liberation of ireland
from British rule. The Brotherhood has
auxiliary societies in all the principal cities
Of the United States and Canada Recently
much alarm has been caused in England by
the movements of the Fenians, and the
British government has seen fiG to adopt
precautionary measures. A number of gun
boats and men-of war have been stationed
off the west coast of Ireland, and the Lord
Lieutenant has proclaimed the counties of
Tipperary, Limerick. Cork and Kerry as be-
ing under the operation of the 'arms act, y
the peace preservation act, and the
crime prevention act These acts enable
the Crown to put any district under species
of martial law. authorize the searching of
houses for concealed firearms, the arrest of
suspected persons, and the adoption of such
measures as may be necessary to suppress
attempts at insurrection. All this is excit-
ing and encourages tie British press to rail
Justify against the Fenian organization and
to threaten terrible things if the movement
proceeds 1t is evident John Bull is having
a big scare from a little cause, and we don t
know that anybody on this side of the water
Will IN the least sympathize with him. The
british navy wants exercise, and there can
be no good reason why it should not take it
IN Bantry Bay as well as any place else.

Copperheads VS.. Clergymen.


Wehave frequently; heretofore insisted that
the enatural tendency of modern Democracy or
Copperheadism, was to infidelity. The lea
ding men of the Copperhead organization.
by their defense of slavery, and sympathy
with treason against freedom, have placed
themselves on the record as the great an
tagonists of civilization. All over the world
ded as the opponents of the civilized pro-
gress of mankind 1t now becomes ourdutv
to show from the record that the Conner
head leaders are infdels that they are on
posed to prayer, and that they refused, in
their official capacity, to recognize the the
clergy of the State as being fit to mingIe
their prayers with the business of legisla-
ton.
The following extract from the Legislative
Record, for 1864, page u, establishes the
truth of our assertion:
INVITATION TO CLERGYMEN.
Mr.. Lowry. offer the following resolu-
ton
Resotred,, That the Speaker be requested
to invite the clergymen OF Harrisburg to
open the sessions OF the Senate with prayer.
On the question, Win the Senate proceed
to second reading of the resolution?
The yeas and nays were required by Mr..
kINsEY and Mr.. Donovan, and were as fol-
| lows, viz:
Yeas-Messrs Champneys, Connell,
Dunlap, Fleming, Graham. Hoge, House
holder, Johnson. Lowry, NJ Candless, Mich
OILS, Ridgeway, Turrel. Wilson, Worthing-
ton, and Penny, Speaker.-l6
Nays-Messrs. Beardslee, Byeher, ely
mer. Donovan, Glatz. Hopkins. Kinsey,
Lamberton, Latta, NJ Sherry. Montgomery,
Rely, Smith, Stark, Stein, and Wallace-l6.
So the question was determinedin the neg
| ative.
What more can Christian men desire, to
render clear to their minds that modern De-
mocracy is radical infdelity? twill be seen
that among those who voted Nag on this
question, involving the recognition of a Di
vine authority and power, is the name of W.
| A. WALLACE, now Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee.

Important Issues.

Reader When asked to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket pause and consider whether in
the settlement ofthe great questions grow
ing out of the war they should be left in the
hands of those by whom the war was carried
to successful issue, or whether the settle
ment shall pass into the hands of those who
opposed 1t from the beginning? 1t is upon
the people the settlement of this issue de-
peDds. And it is important 1t is for you,
reader-tor every voter-to say whether
the war has been a failure, whether those
who began it because you voted in 1860 as
free men had right to vote, were Justly
dealt with in being conquered. 1t is for YOU
to say whether the fruits of the war are on
ly debt, disgrace and slaughter, or wheth-
er they shall add to the glory, renown, great
ness and power of our common country.
Ihese,we repeat, are important issues. Let
your sense of right determine your vote.

A wild man has been discovered in for
est in Clearfeld county He was covered
all over with a copper colored down, and
when captured was able to speak one word
draft. y He had forgotten all the rest of
the English language. Ex-Governor Bigler
kindly took the wild man in hands, and
will prepare him to vote for the Democratic
candidates in October This story may be
true. since large numbers of the residents
fled to the woods during the late draft.
Many are yet missing, SO that more wild
men may yet be caught.-EltiTa Press
The above is news in this section. Wheth-
er such capture has been made, or not,
we are unable to say; but as Mr. Bigler is in
California, and has not been in this place
for at least four months, we deem this ex-
planation due him. In reference to the
wild man, we presume, it might be well
enough for our Philadelphia cotemporary to
inquire of the Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee for definite information.

The Johnstown Tribune of last week saws
it is informed that Lieut. Col. Linton, the
democrtic nominee for Surveyor General.
made a speech at democratic meeting in
Ebensburg last week, in which he asserted
that instead of trying and hanging Wirz for
killing and starving Union prisoners, Secre-
tary Stanton should be tried and hung. for
he alone was to blame. Such a declaration
by their candidate would only be in accord
anee with the action of their party editors,
edge has published any of the testimony
elected on the trial of this brute who starv,
ed and murdered Union prison rs bv the
thousand. They try to cover up the horrors
OF the hell at Andersonville, where SO many

possible hold the Government responsible.

Rebellion, treason, and ctvil war are indis-
solubly linked with the name Democracy.
Under Democratic ascendancy the conspir-
acy was conceived and matured. Under a
Democratic administration it ripened. By
Democratic chiefs was directed. By Dem
ocratic politicians it was defended and ex-
cused. By a Democratic Convention it was
declared triumphant by Democratic
papers and speakers the theories from which
the rebellion sprang, are still justified and
advocated

Nothing shows the complete collapse of
tie so-called Democracy more conclusively
than the late elections in Maine and Yer
mont. Though in the first, strong bid
was made for popular support, by loud res
olutions in praise of President johnson,
they are beaten worse than ever Their 5
is, indeed, a cruel fate If they support
President johnson, they lose all the bitter

they oppose him, they lose the sound Dem

A Settler from the Secretary If State.

In reference to the suit instituted in Eng
land by the United States against Priolea1
aud others for the recovery Of one thousand
three hundred and fifty bales Of ''Conteder-
ate" cotton the Vice Chancellor sitting IN
Judgment, decided in favor OF the United
States substantially as the Power absorbing
the late de tuctO government OF the so-called
Confederate States. y Whereupon Mr. Sew
ard in a letter to Mr.. Adams, instructs him
to inform all concerned that : the United
States Do not admit that the combination of
UIsoyal citizens WHO have raised the stan
dard Of insUrrection is now, or has at any
previous time, been government de fdcto
Oh in any sense political Power capable of
taking, holding, giving, asserting or main
tanning corporate rights in any form, wheth-
er municipal or international. 1t is true
that different view of the character of the
insurgents has seemed to find favor with
some portions of the British nation. and
even with the British government, and that
it must be remembered, however, that as
often as that antagonistical opinion has been
advanced by her Britannia Maiesty's gov
eminent in its intercourse with the United
States, it has been as firmly, though, as we
trust, as courteously, denied This is a
settler, not only in reference to the cotton ir
question, but In regard to all debts, loans
contracts, &C. of every description entered
snto with the late so-callcd Confederate
States, or in behalf of the cause thereof in
any shape or form, at home or abroad
Everything in the shape of cotton or other
property held anywhere as the property of
the so-called Confederate States, is now
the property of the United States, de tdcto
and de jnre. We dare say that after the
reception of Mr.. Seward letter there will
be no more meetings Of the holders of the
rebel cotton loan to discuss the question of
its redemption by the United States.
