The COnduct of the Great Leaders.

General Sherman and General 10.
johnson, met each other in Memphis,
on the Goth ult. They had not met
each other since the surrender in
North Carolina last April The greet
ing of the two great Captains was cor
dial and happy in the extreme. A
few days after, Gems. Scott and Long
street, also met each other in New
Orleans, when each extended his hand
to the other, and vowed, that the re-
naming days Of their lives would be
dedicated to an undivided Union. 1t
is but few months since, that Gen.
Sheridan accidentally met the Con-
federate General Hood, on the lcvee,
at the same city, and all the recon
struction, that was found necessary,
between those two leaders, was, that
the former extended his hand to the
latter, and said that he was happy to
welcome him back into the Union, to
which General Hood replied, "that's
Just what | came for"
Mark the contrast between those
who perilled their lives on the battle
field for four bloody years-how they
reconstruct the Union, and that other
class Of cowardly sncaks, lead on by
Sumner, Stevens G Co., who never
smelled powder, or saw a battlefield.
See the war-worn manly heroes reuni-
ting the belgcrant sections Of our
tempest tossed nationality, by cor
dial grasp of the hand and the warm
affections Of a glowing heart; while
the wretched demagogues in the halls
OF Congress, seem to be dredging Hell
itself, to scoop up and appropriate the
hates and animosities of departed
knaves, like themselves, with which
to still further alicnatc, or renew, and
continue the "irrepressible conflict" I"
into which they plunged our happy
country How long will our people
remain quiet, while those political as
sassins are revelling in fanatacism and
dcbauchery, around the hearthstone
of the nation? The Senate controlled
by moral coward, of the largest mag
nitude, the House led by man who
considers himself no better than a
negro.

GENTLEMEN The tolls and ankle

time to time, brought on me severe
attacks of disease. From the most
severe Of these ana ROW slowly strug-

and intention to return in good season
to welcome you on your arrival at the
seat Of Government. But ifit should
be found Indispensable that my visit
TO Cuba should be prolonged to the
early part of February, this message

of my absence at the commencement
ofyour Session. In this case / feel
snro that you will adopt such course
as shall consist with your wisdom and
with the afectionate consideration
which | have always received at your
hands.
1t would, however, not become mo
to forget that the issues Of life are in
the hands OF the One above all, and
that many have found death waiting
for them on tho foreign shore to which
they have been sent in search of
health. Should such be my fate,
shall draw my last breath with a sense
of the deepest gratitude to the people
Of tho Commonwealth and their rep
rcsentatives for the cheerful, manly,
unfailing support which they have
given during the last four years to
the great cause Of the right, and to
me and my efforts to maintain it, and
with a prayer Of thankfalness to Al
mighty God that He strengthened me
till the end of the cruel rebellion, and
thought me worthy to be permitted to
continue TO that time as the Chief
Magistrate of the people of Pcnnsyl-

NEw PRoGRAMME.-For the first
time since the founding Of the govern
ment, negroes were admitted to the
Presidents levee on the 1st inst. The
whites were however admitted first,
and tho "coming man" afterwards.
The best part of the joke was, that
the Darkics nearly tore the arms from
Marshal Gooding's body, taking him
fer the President, who had left the
hall, about the time the gentlemen and

NEEDS WATcHINo.-The State Treas
urer informs the citizens of this Com
monwoalth, that al the close of the
last fiscal year, there was over two
millions of dollars in the Treasury.
The very fact thatthis large sum, has
been allowed to accumulate in the
Treasury, is sufficient evidence that
the Department has been badly man
aged. Why s2,OO0DO0, should be al
lowed to lay aroundloose, for the use
of political buzzards, and by them to
be gobblcd up some time is certainly
not economy. If tho proper authori-
ties would apply this sum in cancel
ing some of the State debt, the people
would just save $4,000 annually, in
the way OF interest; tut as it is, they
are robbed of this sum while the gam.
blers hanging around the Department,
are realizing double that sum out oft,
and may eventually carry Off the whole
amount. We hope our eloyal" Legisla-
ture, will do something to ease the bur-
thens of the people, and not devote all
their attention to shoddy and loyalty,
because that is about "plsyed out, "
with the intellig ent portion Of the cit
izens of this Commonwealth.

Druprp. Hon. Wm. NJ Meredith
Attorney General, has decided that
the stock held by National Banks, is
taxable for State purposes, ard upon
this decision the State Treasurer, calls
upon the Legislature in his annual re-
port, 10 enact law, compelling those
Banks to pay tax of one per cent on
their capital stock. The amount OF
stock now held by the National Banks
of this State, amounts to over forty
six millions of dollars. This amount
of wealth now claims protection from
the Commonwealth like other proper
ty, vet fails to contribute to its sup
port. The Treasurer says: "Therc is
no foundation for the cry, that these
Banks are already too heavily taxed
by the General Government and 81
feel confident that there is patriotism
enough among the holders Of these
bonds, to induce them readily to bear
this small exaction." lie also states
that the finances of the State are now
in such condition that the tax i'm
posed on real estate can be entirely
taken off. This could ard should have
been done years ago, had the proper
authorities paid any attention to tho
subject.

what seemed reasonable to US, the necessity
of keeping troops in the South to prevent
hostile contacts between blacks and certain

tary intervention to prevent or punish vio-
lence, none was had We have waited in

We wish the negroes well, and invoke kind
