Death of Hon. Ner Middlesworth.

Hon. Ner Middlesworth, of Snyder coun-
ty, died on June ID, in the I'D year of his
age. He was Captain in the war of 1912,
and distinguished himself for his gallantry
in several battles. He served with distinc-
tion in both branches of the Legislature,
represented his district in Congress, and for
five years was an associate judge on the
bench of his resident county. He was a
strong minded common sense imbued man,
whose natural energy and integrity of char
acter rendered him respected and beloved
by his fellow-citizens.

President johnson,

The Washington correspondent of the
Independent throws out the following sug-
gestlons, which, no doubt, are timely:
Let me warn impulsive Republicans a
galnst fasty Judgment of the President in
this matter He may prove as radical as
Mr.. Sumner himself before the year> ends
1t Is wise to create strong public senti-
ment on this subject-a sentiment that will
support the President in taking bold ground
hereafter in support of universal Suffrage at
the South But attacks upon him before
he has had time to decide defnately upon
his policy, are not justifable. Personally,
he tavors negro suffrage. He has said so
repeatedly Of late He is in doubt as to the
means to be used. Probably he has a little
OF the old prejudice against the negro But
II he has, can we of the free States cast
stones at him? Republican Philadelphia
is in a tempest because black man attempts
to ride in the hOrse-cars The black man is
still disliked at the North Give Mr. John
son a little time to watch events The Vir-
ginia election was worth more to us than a
hundred severe criticisms, for the President
is determined that slavery and disunion
must die. He begins to see that he cannot
destroy them without the aid Of the negro
at the ballot box, as we did not and could
not conquer the armies of the rebellion with
out his help.

Operations of the IT, S, Mint,

The gold coinage at the mint in Philadel-
phia, during the month of May, was S572-
9l9 90; principally in double eagles, and
the silver coinage $45, $50 O4, nearly all in
half and whole dollars. The copper coinage
was S4l loo in cents, SIC, 200 in two cent
pieces. The whole number of pieces coined
during the month is 6, 96l, 900, and of this
number over four millions were copper cents.
for three years past the coinage of cents
have averaged about FIVE million per month
and until within few months one was rarely
met with They are now gradually coming
on the market, but still the wonder is where
they all are.

The Great Mobile Fire,

New Orleans advices of June the 9th state
that an important clue to the cause of the
late disastrous explosion at Mobile is
thought to have been obtained. A man
named Wall has been arrested at Mobile,
charged with being implicated. He states
that he and two others, on the night pre-
vious to the explosion, placed torpedoes be-
tween the buildings containing powder; that
the work was performed under the direc-
ton of rebel major, who threatened them
instant death if they disobeyed or offered to
resist, and the major afterwards lighted a
fuze of shell connected with the Internal
arrangement. Torpedoes have also been
discovered in the rooms of the Custom
House, so as to explode on the opening of
the doors Others were found concealed in
desks in the same building.

Notes of Third Series of 7.Sos now ready.

Notes OF IhIrd Serles OF f.oOs now ready.
The demand for the Second Series of the
7-30 Notes was so great that the Treasury
Department was unable to print them with
sufficient apidity to FIJI the orders 1t will
be remembered that hundred millions were
subscribed and paid for in a single week
The printing presses have finally surmount-
ed the difficulty, aud on Wednesday, June
7th, the delive ries of the third series COM
meneed, and will he continued with the same
promptness that marked the supply of the
notes of the first and second series. 1t has
been this interruption of delivery at the time
of subscription which has given an appear
ance of falling of in the popular taking of
the loan, the great body of small takers be
ing unwilling to pay their money unless they
receive their notes right in hand, to carry
them home Its expected that after this
week the daily subscriptions to the Seven
Thlrties will run up into millions, as they
will undoubtedly be stimulated by the open
ing of the farmers wool markets East and
West. 1t is not at all likely that the Gov
ernment will ever again offer so desirable
security as these notes, and about two hun
dred millions only remain to be taken.
With the close of the war the national ex-
penses will be vastly reduced, and investors
must look for sharp reduction in the rate
of interest as soon as the present loans be
come due, and can be paid off There is no
reason why the United States credit for
money should ever again fall below its credit
for courage. The same spirit that preserv-
ed the geographical integrity of the country
will place its 1DecuRiary integrity on par
with that of the most favored nations-and
that will represent rate of interest under
rather than over four per cent.

Rebels and Oopperheads.

On Monday last a-week, dispatch to the
New York Times contained the following !:
7" 1t is reported that the rebels have decl-
" ded majority in the Virginia House OF
Delegates, or members elected by rebel
"votes. This announcement. 1t seems, ac-
corded so perfectly with the feelings and de-
sires of the Copperhead editors and leaders,
that they could not refrain from rejoicing,
and in the fullness of their hearts they ex-
claimed Good for Virginia !" And so
g Virginia, glorious old State, has gone, Ito
''speak plainly,) overwhelmingly for De
" mocracy |" thus acknowledging that the
Rebels and Democracy-or rather, that the
Rebels and the Copperheads are one--that
both these classes stand upon the same plat
form, and that both have been working for
the same ultimate object-the defeat Of the
gallant defenders of the Union.
This fact, that the two are identical, has
been asserted more than thousand times
by the friends of the Union, and as often
denied by the Copperheads; but now, when
the war is oyer, and scores of rebels have
sneaked back to their former homes, and
without taking the prescribed oath OF allie
glance have succeeded in controlling an cleo
ton, these Northern dough-faced semi-se-
cessionists rejoice over the defeat of the true
Union men of the South, and acknowledge
that the Rebels are Overwhelmingly for De-
mocracy or, in other words, that the Reb-
els will unite with the Copperheads in de-
feating their common enemy-the Union
men-North and South.

NEGRO Snfraga.


The Tribune, in the course of some re-
marks on this subject, says:
''We are very willing-and believe the T.
nionists, white and black, would be willing
to accept an installment ct justice, and
have the whole matter settled amicably and
finally. If the Southern States will provide
that ereSy black aoho can read mtelHgently,
aoho oeons real estate and has paid a tar,
shall be q rOter, aoe tcould gtadly accept this
as a settlement Of a ceced question. though it
would probably not, for tie present, enable
one negro in hundred-perhaps not one
in five hundred-to vote. But if the blacks
are to be prescribed dforever-if they are to be
taxed by the votes of whites who pay no tax,
yet allowed no voice in levying those taxes
or spending those proceeds-if they are to
be held erermore as outcosts and lepers IN
the land of their birth-if they are to be de-
barred from all political rights by the votes
of Three Millions of rebels, :" and told that
this is their punishment for having aided to
overthrow the rebelion-why then we think
the republic will owe them at least a de-
termined effort to see them righted, and we
shall incline to make that effort.

Foreign Immigration.

The Baltimore convention performed a
good work when they inserted plank In
their platform declaring that the immigra-
ton of foreigners had always been source
of prosperity to the nation and should be en-
couraged Such declaration from Con
vention representing the will and policy of
the national administration did much to ri
pen that golden harvest of immigration
which is now being gathered on our shores.
And as soon as it shall have been generally
known throughout Europe that rebellion is
crushed and peace restored, the tide of i'm
migration will be greatly swelled. The sta
tistics on this subject are very encouraging.
The arrivals at New York alone are now av-
eraging thousand a day and we learn from
the Irish and German papers that the off
ces of the different lines of vessels plying be-
tween this country and Europe are daily
crowded by immigrants eager to obtain pas
sage to America Such is the character of
these immigrants, that it Is estimated by
the General Agent who has charge of the
Emigrant Landing depot in New York, that
each passenger brings, on an average, eighty
dollars in gold This, at the rate of thou
sand immigrants day, would amount to a
large sum in the year. Such source of
prosperity should receive encouragement
that would make it flow most freely.

The Missouri Constitution,

1t seems that the city of St. Louis has de-
clared against the New Constitution of Mis-
souri, by large majority. This result has
been secured through the most unblushing
perjury and corruption. Returned rebels,
whose hands were reeking with the noble
blood of loyal men, marched with the coolest
effrontery to the polls and made oath that
they had never been anything but loyal cit
izens of the United States.had never con-
tributed either directly or indirectly to the
support of the shareholders rebellion and
never joined the armies of the Confederacy.
protesting at the same time against being
adjured, and treating the oath as IA mere po-
litical farce, and of no moral obligation.
Notwithstanding all the frauds that were
perpetrated the friends of the Constitution
are still sanguine that it has been ratified by
the State at large. 1t is worthy of note
that the returned Union soldiers wentin sol
id phaanx for the New Constitution If it
has been defeated, the result has been ac-
complished through the frauds committed
by disloyal men and rebel sympathisers.

In the State of Ohio the last ditch has

with treason than c. l.. Vallandigham. He

rejoices that slavery is destroyed and the T.
Mon saved sees at present no reason why
the Democracy should not give a cordial
support to President johnson in his efforts
to restore the prosperity of his Country,
under the Constitution and declares that
without slavery the Southern States, with
perhaps two or three exceptions, Twill be-
come more populous, prosperous and pow
erful than any other section Such ad-
missions from a virulent rebel sympathiser
like Vallandigham show the utter annihila-
ton OF all hope Of saving slavery or impe-
