hundred black men are reported as the
dead of the New Orleans massacre;
murdered for the Ofense of pesceably
assembling in Convention, to discuss pub
lie affairs; the act being made an otfense
by the fact of their having been loyal to
the National Union in the war Of rebel
lion, and continuing SO still. We resd OF
those who make a desolation, and call it
paace-so that which thay call peace in
the South, means the determination of
loyal men. A hundred and twenty-five
loyal men lie stark upon the streets of
New Orleans, murdered by rebel hands.
because they were loyal to the Union,
and they call it restored loyalty, and a
reconstructed Uuion.

STEALING.

During the last few weeks, while the
Academy building, in this borough, was
not occupied for teaching, some thieves
entered tho building, by breaking the
bolts and forcing open the shutters
once in the building they broke open the
Library, aud stole therefrom a number of
she books, and also carried of the coal
seuttles, brooms and other furniture that
S1as easily moyeable. These unprincipled
vandals have, during the whole winter,
been damaging the building, stealing the
fuel and committing other depre lations.
1t is time these things were stopped, and
we are glad to learn that steps have been
taken to detect and bring the offenders to
justice. 1t is time our School Houses
were protected from this unprincipled
vandalism, whether from men or boys.

Of the above College situated at Easton.-
By it you will see that we have now a

Of American Colleges. Well may all this

its new acquisition, while all who desire a
practical education should patron;ze it.

structious from headquarters. Of the army,
are engaged in discharging all volunteer
organizations that can be dispensed with.
All troops that have been mustered out
of service have been furnished with trans
portation to their respective State rem
devious in order to receive final settle
ment of their accounts. 1t is estimated
that over fifteen thousand white and col
ored troops, since the lst instant, have
been paid off and discharged. 1t is be-
iieved that, on account Of the success at
tending the recruiting service of the reg
ular army, within month all volunteer
organizations will be relieved from duty.

TIE Civil Rights Bill, which was met

TIE Civil Rights Bill, which was met
with the Presidents veto, couple OF
weeks ago, has received the requisite
two-t thirds vote of each House to make it
law. 1t is now the law of the land,
and will be respected accordingly, and by
no one more certainly or religiously than
bv President JOHNSON The vote in the
Senate was 33 for and Is against the bill.
In the House the vote stood l22 for and
Il against. The Democrats at Washing
ton are reported by letter-writers to have
been out of humor with everybody over
the passage Of the bill, and to have in
dulged vast amount Of cursing of the
President for not having protected the
veto, as they alledge he could have done
if he had mind to. They declare they
are done with him. The President him.
self, it is said expresses himself satisfied
with the result, aud that if members con
scientiously considered that they ought
to pass it, he woald not object, and would
carry out its provisions so far as de-
pended upon him.
The vote in the House was taken with
out discussion. The veto was submitted
upon the arguments of the message itsell
alone.

Clymer on Arming the State.

In the Senate, on the 18th of April, 15-
6l, on motion Of Mr. Mcclure, the second
reading and consideration of the bill pro-
viding for arming the State was entered
upon.
1t so happened that just before the as
sembling Of the Senate that evening, in
telligenee had been received by telegraph
that the forces of the Government were
engaged in actual conflict with the insur-
gents at Charleston. All the members
were in possession of the news, and each
acted under it as his principles and feel
ings dictated.
Upon the passage of each section of the
bill the yeas and nays were required
Each division produced strictly party
result. Every Republican voted to put
the State in condition of defense Ev
cry democrat voted the other way. On
every division Mr.. Clymer voted on the
rebel side. His principles, his sympa-
thies, aud his ambition, all took him that
way.
On the final passage the vote stood:
YEAS Messrs Benson, Boughtou.
Bound, Cornell, Finney, Fuller, Gregg,
Hall, Hamilton, Heistand, Imbrie, Irish,
Ketehum, Landon, Lawrence, Mcclure
Meredith, Nicholas, Parker, Penny, Rob-
inson. Servill, Smith, Thompson, Whar-
ton, Yardley, and Palmer, Speaker-27.
NAYS = Messrs. Blood, CLYMER,
Crawford, Mott, Schindel, and Welsh--6.
This record which Mr.. Clymer made at
the commencement of the war, he main
tanned, with most disloyal and infamous
consistency, till the close.

Serious Result of a Fright.

The Monongahela Republican states
that Mrs. Wm. Henry, residing in Not
tiugham township, Washington county.
Was so badly frightened, about one month
since. that her life is still in danger from
the effects of the shock. 1t appears that
her husband had been called from home
early in the morning and informed his
wife that he would return about noon
Shortly before that time Mrs Henry was
also called TO visit neighbor. On her
return home she found marks Of blood on
the steps leading to the door, which led
her to suspect that her husband had been
murdered She fell to the ground insens-
ible and did net recover her conscious
ness for some hours, and is still suffering
from the fright she received. 1t tappears
that Mr.. Henry owned large Newfound-
land dog, and that during the absence Of
the family neighbor, who charged the
dog with killing sheep, had visited the
house aud killed it, the marks of blood
being occasioned thereby

who can truly appreciate their services

reason, why men who nobly marched to
the defence of the country, and its insti
tutions, should pay out Of their hard earn
ings to protect those who thought gun-
powder had villainous and dangerous
smel frcm the inexorable demands of the
draft. 1t amounted to tax upon patri-
otism which should never have been al
lowed to disgrace the statute books Of a
Republican Commonwealth like Pennsyl-

George n. Sanders. who during the re
beilion was luxuriating in Canada, where
he was engaged in plotting mischief a
gainst the United States as agent of the
rebels, has been overtaken with serious
troubles in England, where he has been
staying for some time. A reward hay
ing been offered for his apprehension on
account of his participation in the plot to
murder President Lincoln, and one or two
attempts being made to kidnap him while
in Canada, he concluded to seek relief
from the difficulties and dangers that
threatened bin by a sojourn in England
Bat while there, indulging his accustom-
ed habits of dissipation and recklessness,
he has unfortunately fallen in debt to the
amount of some forty thousand dollars
In consequence Of this, his creditors have
seized the ex-agent Of the Confederacy
and thrust him into prison, there being
no one with sufficient love for the defunct
rebel cause remaining to go bail for him
The qualification they will derive from
thus Furnishing him will be all they OBJ
tain, as he has given them notice that he
has DO funds His creditors aud the
holders of the rebel loan in that country
can whistle for their money together.

Look Out for Eastern Money.

Some Of the Eastern States, Maine for
instance, have laws allowing their late
State banks to repudiate their notes if not
presented within two years from the time
said banks became National institutions.
The limited time has expired in some
cases, and in others it is near expiration ;
and, upon the whole, the safest plan is to
refuse the State bank notes of all Eastern
banks.
