for them in the least. They are, how
ever, willing to accept the situation,
do without the toys, and go back into the
big house, like good children, and beg
pardon of good old Uncle Sam. The
kind old gentleman is ready to rcceivehis
penitent nephews and nieces, but some of
their bigger and most unforgiying broth
ers and sisters are still angry with them,
and wish to compel them to live in the
house in Dixie's Land, although it is en-
tirely unfurnished, and they are desper-
ately poor and unable to fit it up COM
fortably. This is what worries poor old
Uncle Sam this is what makes him sad,
and has laid him up in bed of sickness
The old gentleman has as big heart as
ever, andehe is most anxious to take the
poor children back into the big house, to
kiss them and forgive them. But one of
the big brothers. bad boy, named Howe
cares no more for his uncle than for his
poor brothers and sisters, and insists on
compelling them still to live in the empty,
unfurnished house. This he proposes to
Uncle Sam, and many others of the un-
forgiving brothers and sisters endorse the
cruel proposition. But Uncle Sam has
big heart, and so has the new housckeeper,
Uncle Johnson, and both of them are
sorely grieved. All of the big brothers,
however, are not SO unrelcnting; good
boy, named Doolittle, has headed party
who are endeavoring to do a great deal
for peace sake If the Howeites are sue

broken up entirely, and all parties will
be compelled to go to boarding. Should
the Doolittleites succeed, all will be well

more, and all will go back pleasantly into

upon established military principles, its
execution would have been impossible if
those who acted under the Commander

Horace Greeley's Ride to Pla-

OO4 N444Os
When Horace Greeley was in Califor
mia, ovation awaited him at every town.
He had written powerful leaders in the
Tribune in favor of the Pacific railroad,
which had greatly endeared him to the
citizens of the Golden State, and there
fore they made much of him when he went
to see them.
At one town the enthusiastic pnpulace
tore his celebrated white coat to pieces,
and carried the pieces home to remember
him by.
The citizens of Placcrville prepared to
fete the great journalist, and an extra
coach, with extra relays of horses was
chartered of the California Stage Com
pany, to carry him from Folsom to Pla-
cervillc-distance forty miles. The extra
was in some way delayed, and did not
leave Folsom until in the afternoon. Mr..
GrceIy was to be fetcd at seven o'clock
that evening by the citizens of Placer
vile, and it was altogether necessary that
he should be there by that hour. So the
stage company said to Henry Monk, the
driver of the extra, Horny, this great
man must be there by. seven tonight" !"
And Henry answered, "The great man
shall be there"
The roads were in an awful state, aud
during the first few miles oct OF Folsom,
slow progress was made.
"Sir," said Mr.. Greely, care you aware
that 1 must be at Placerville at seven
o'clock to-night?r
GIVE got my orders" laconically re
Piled Henry Monk.
Still the coach dragged slowly forward
asir,0 said Mr.. Greoly, this is not 3
trifing matter. must be there at seven!'
Again come tho answer, GIVE got my
orders" q
But the speed was not increased, and
Mr.. Greely chafcd away another hall
hour, when, as he was again about to re
monstrate with the driver, the horses
started into furious run, and all sorts O
encouraging yells filled the air from the
throat of Henry Monk.
"That is right, my good fellow!" crice
Mr.. Greely ell give you ten dollars
when you get to Placerville. Now We
Z
are going!"
They were indeed, and at terrible
speed.
Crack, crack went the whip, and agair
that voice split the air. "Git upl Hi! vi
Glong! Yip-yip!"
And on they tore over stones and ruts
up hill and down, at rate of speed never
before achieved by stage horses.
Mr.. Greedy, who had been bouncing
from one end of the coach to the Other
like an India rubber ball, managed to gel
his head out of the window, when he said
"Do-n't-on't you-u-u think we-e-e shall
get there by seven if we do-on't-on't-on't
go so fast?"
"rve got my ordersl" That was al
Henry Monk said. And on tore the
coach.
1t was becoming serious. Already the
journalist was extremely sore from the
terrible jjolting, and again his head "might
have been seen at the window.
asir,"he said, don tcare-if we don't
get there at seven"

The South in Congress.

The Hon. y. y. DongdOn, formerly edl-
Tor Of the journal to which he writes, now
a momber of Congress from the Mobile
District, has addressed to the Mobile
Register and Advertiser a letter, dated at
Washington, on the 4th inst, in which,
after reviewing the very forcibly the ac-
ton of Congress upon the admission of
the Southern Representatives: he states
that he has come to the conclusion that
the Southern States will bo deprived of
representation during the whole existence
of the present Congress.
The motives which, in his opinion, con-
troll the action. of the radicals are SO clearly
and we'll stated in his letter that we quote
that portion of it:
@The motive of all this is perfectly
transparent. The radicals arc anxious to
pass certain measures, and among them
amendments to the Constitution, Gas [
have stated in former letter. for the
double purpose of consolidating theirown
power, and also as further punishment of
of the wicked rebels" Were they to
admit the Southern members, all their
we'll laid schemes would be certainly de-
feated-especially all those which require
two-thirtls vote-while, if the Southern
members are kept out, the radical ma
iority, in each House, is sufficient to ena-
BILE them to carry all their measures, bid
ding defiance even to the Executive veto ;
for instance: parties in the Senate now
stand thirty-eight Republicans, eleven OPP
position and one vacancy (from Iowa.)
We will give the vacancy to the Repub-
licans, making their number thirty-nine.
Admit the twenty-five Senators from the
Southern States, and parties will then
stand thirty-ni Republicans and thirty
three opposition No two-thirds vote
for them here. And besides, there are
three Senators classed as Republicans,
who will vote with the opposition on all
extreme measures of the radicals. These
are Messrs. Cowan, Doolittle and Dixon,
and this will make it tie in the Senate
-thirty-six Republicans and thirty-six
opposition. So the admission of the
Southern Senators would deprive the
radicals of their power in the Senate
And this is reason enough for keeping
them out. In the House, parties now
stand: l33 Republicans to IS opposition
Admit the IS Southern members and the
opposition is increased to 93-making il
impossible for the radicals to carry any
measure that requires q twc-thirds vote
This view of the case satisfactorily ex
planning why it is the Southern members
are not admitted. 1t is power versus
Constitutional right"

Warning to Election officers.

The Bellefonte Centre county, Watch
man of September records the conviction
of two members of the Election Board of
Snowshoe township, in that county, for IL
legally refusing the vote of an alleged desert
er at the election in October, 1865. Thus,
while Governor Curtin and the gang of
Snickervillians who surround him at Har-
risburg are sending out lists of alleged de-
serters, and instructing their friends on tho
various Election Boards throughout the
State not to permit these persons to vote,
the Court Of Curtin o,oa county, presided
over by Republican Judge, convicts two
election officers for refusing to receive the
vote of an alleged deserter. In his anxiety
to secure seat in the Senate of the United
States, Curtin is urging the Republican cleo
ton officers everywhere to commitan offense
for which they may be tried, convicted and
punished. tits pity the chief SnickerviIl-
ians cannot be indicted and convicted along
with their poor tools on the Election Boards,
but if these latterwill be dupes and victims,
let them suffer-

CONVICTION OF AN ELECTION BOARD FOR
REFUSING TO RECEIVE THE VOTE OF AN
ALLEGED ''DEsERTER The trial of, Joshua
II. Brown, ID. NJ. Belts, and ID. II. Yeager.
Election Board Of Snowshoe township, for
illegally refusing the vote of John Dayton,
at the October election in 1868 resulted in
the conviction of Brown and Belts and the
acquittal of Yeager, the Court having in
structed the jury that they could not convict
the latter under the evidence.
The facts of the case, as given in evidence
on the trial, are about as follows: John Day,
ton, man of foreign birth, presented him
self at the window at the October election in
1865, offering his ballot IN one hand and his
naturalization paper and receipt for taxes
in the other. He was challenged by one of
the Board as adeserter, as he had been alb
sent from the township during one of the
drafts They refused to allow him to vote
unless he would take an oath that he had
not left the township to avoid the draft
Mr.. Dayton refused to do this and his vote
was rejected, Mr.. Yeager protesting against
the action of the Board and being overruled
by his companions. Mr. Orvis assisted the
District Attorney in the prosecution and Mr..
NJ Allister conducted the defence. Thejury
we're out but short time when they return
ed with verdict of guilty as to Brown and
Belts and not guilty as to Yeager.
We hope the effect of this trial may be to
prevent all such illegal attempts to deprive
qualified voters of their rights in the future.

question to ask of our loyal cotemporaries,
or whoever it may concern. 1t is this: Is
it true, as has been stated-and thus far
without contradiction-that while Congress
voted to give the white soldiers fifty and an
hundred dollars additional bounty respect
lively, according to their terms of service or
the sums heretofore received, it voted to
give the black soldiers three hundred dol
lars2 IF yea, is it true that while this ad-
ditional bounty is being paid to the negroes,
payment is refused to the whites upon the
plea that there are no appropriations for the
purpose2

The Maine Election.

The Republicans have elected their State
ticket In Maine by an increased majority.
Had such result occurred out of New Eng
land, it would occasion some anxiety and
alarm, and would bode no good to the future
tranquility of the country. If we could be
made to believe that there exists throughout
the North an inextinguishable hatred of the
South, which would be satisfied with nothing
but holding it under the iron heel of des-
potic authority, taxing that section without
representation, and compelling its white in
habitants to regard their late slaves as their
equals, we should come to the conclusion
that the day of republican institutions in
this country was rapidly approaching its
close. May we never live in Republic, {"
said Mr.. GREELEY few years ago, where
of one half is pinned to the other by bayo-
nets" If he contemplated the subjection
by mere military power as a permanent ar
rangement, it was rational wish The mil
itary power which would be requisite for
governing the South by this method would
be fatal to the liberty of the North, as Mr..
BEECHER showed in his first letter.
But we entertain no apprehension that
the great belt of Middle States will follow
the example of Maine and Vermont. The
chief reason why hatred to the South is SO
easily stirred up in those States is found in
the fact that they are SO remote from the
Southern people, that they regard them with
the same kind of irrational hostility that
nations used to feel towards each other be-
fore the modern facilities of communication
and intercourse existed. In Maine and Yer
mont, not one man in ten thousand ever sees
a Southerner in the whole course of his life.
Away on the Canada frontier, where what
is done in the South has less effect on their
prosperity than on any other part of the
country, it might be supposed that the peo-
pie of Maine and Vermont would be more
ready to concede the right of self-govern-
ment to those on the Gulf and the Rio
Grande, than the people of New York OF
Illinois, who by their large commerce and
intercourse are directly affected by all that
touches the prosperity of the South But
distance does not operate in that manner. 1t
tends to convert into natural enemies those
who know nothing of each other. 1t is the
same illiberal feeling of blind hostility that
existed between England and France when
a narrow firth interposed made enemies of
nations;' but which has happily given way
before the benign influences of increased
commercial and social intercourse The same
reasons explain why New York, and espe-
cially that part of its citizens who are con-
versant with the South and have the great
est stake in its welfare, desire to treat that
section with kindness and magnanimity,
while Maine and Vermont are SO easily ex-
cited to look askance on the Southern peo-
pie, and think they do God service by trying
to deprive them of self-government.
