FRIEND BENJANIN:-Thy neigh
bors here Of the opposition, were Il
good deal shocked at cutting the head
off of the soldier who had his leg cut off
during the war. So many professions
/ being made for the soldier, led us to
think he deserved some consideration;
bat this serves to show the differ
ence between practice and profession
The Bedford Htq3tirer'y appeal to the
'boys in blue" is getting to be well
understood. Like the mothers advice
to her son, who afterwards went to Jail,
for stealing: "Make money my son,
honestly if you can, but make moneYi'
the opposition say: "lIake votes,
white or black, but matte rotes ~ Two
Of our neighbors whom you know very
well, had talk, the other day, and
being brothers, it was in good earnest;
when George said to William: "They
(the negroes must have their vote
anything to beat the id Demo-
Gratis" / give thee their precise lam
gua@e. Such is the desperation of thy
opponents. Thee must buckle on thy
armor and fight against this corrupt
scheme Of Negro Suffrage. 1t is the
key to all our troubles. The opposi-
ton must not be allowed to hide it as
they did before. The "Freedmen's |
Bureau" bill, costing us millions year
to pay agents who are too lazy to work, |
freedmen who are too lazy to keep
themselves and spectators who get |
the contracts to supply provisions, is
another thing thee should expose
We taxpayers are getting tired and |
becoming restless. Patience may cease
TO become virtue, but we desire relief
from our burdens, peaceably, through
the ballot-boX. Greedy politicians and
spectators have been making enough t
off the people. Thy opposition neigh
bors here are beginning to see these
things in theirtrue light, and can as
sure thee that some important changes
are going on.
Ifany thing of importance turns up |
may drop thee a note.

The GREAT QUEsTIoN??- -Thegreat
question with the negroites is, how
shall we manage SO that the MINO-
RITY can RULE the majority? How
shall we, the disunion minority, man
age to KEEP our hands IN the ma

These are the two great questions in
one! The minority MUST RULE be-
cause WE are the minority! The ne
gro must vote, because he will vote
With I'VE" the minority The Tn

be resorted to, or else WE, the mino-

at New Orleans, who expresses his ap-
probation of the Bureau in the follow

"a thousand times better would it
be for the cOiOred men were it abolish

protection for the freedmen, it is only
a place il which freedmen's rights are
bartered away; it serves only to engen

The venerable eX-president, james
Buchanan, is atpresent staying at Bed
ford Springs. On Saturday last he
paid visit to our town, stopping for a
short time at the Mengel House. Mr..
Buchanan looks we'll and seems to bear
the weight of years without any visi-
bic effect upon his constitution. His
numerous friends in this section will
bedelighted to know that he is again
in their midst, the same true friend OF
he masses, as when in earlier days he
mingled with them in the public af-
airs Of the country.

THE hypocrisy of the Disunion lead
ers was completely unmasked by their
action on the bill to equalize bounties.
They have been tried and found want

supported the measure in every stage
Of its progress; but majority Of the
Republicans" opposed it from first to

THE THREE MONTHS EXTRA Pay
Congress lately passed an act giving
three months extra pay to aH officers in
service at the close Of the rebellion
We'd like to know why the privates
were left of the list. The amount the
officers get amounts to over million
doUdrS, and is distributed as follows:
Infantry, nett tar CB-Col0nels, s270
IS; lieutenant colonies, S22S 90; Majors,
Sl99 30; captains. adjutants, regiment
al quartermasters, $I7l 30; lst lieuten-
ants, SIPS I'd lieutenants, Sl2S p.
Carally-ColoneIs, 1918 so; lieuten-
ant colonies, $270 70; majors and sur
geons, $22S 90; captains, a. a. generals,
com. OF subsistence and assistant quar-
termasters, $3.50 80; regimental quar-
termasters, $50 50; lieutenants and as
sistant surgeons. $I52 G0.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1866-08-03

The contest in Congress over the bill
to equaIize the bounties, wasprolonged
from the beginning to the end of the
session. The House passed the bill;
the Senate defeated it; the House in
sisted upon its passage; the Senate per-
sisted in its opposition; finally, on the
last day of the session, committee of
conference of the two houses agreed to
hitch the bill to the Civil Appropria
ton list and to tack it to the tail of the
proposition to increase the pay Of
Members and Senators to $4,000. This
plan pulled the bounty bill through by
a majority Of one in the House, the
vote standing yeas Il, nays 80. The
Democrats voted for the bill, as they
had always done before, and had it not
been for their almost unanimous sup
port. it would have been lost. More
Republicans voted against than for
it. Among those voting against it,
are Messrs. Lawrence, Koontz land
Wilson, of this State. We have not
seen the bill, as it passed, but it is re-
ported that the amount of bounty orig
inally proposed was considerably re-
duced. The vote upon the bill was as
follows, Democrats in Italics, Republi-
cans in Roman:
