The notorious Thadd Gus Stevens COM
mcnced his political life in 1885 in the
Legislature Of Pennsylvania, as an anti
Mason demagogus. His hobby then was
anti, Masonry as il now is the negro
His first public act was the establishment
of an inquisition to spy out the secrets of
Masonry. II is thus alluded to by the
Pittsburgh Posi-, which says:
"The subject Of this lnquisitiou was to
extort from men connected with the in
stitution of Masonry an exposition Of their
principles, including the secrets Of the
order, which, 1t is alleged, they had
sworn to preserve inviolate. To this end
many of the most prominent statesmen of
the Commonwealth we're dragged before
the Star Chamber, and "held in durance
vile" for weeks, and compelled to submit
to every indignity that malice could in
vent. Had they been the veriast orimi.
mails they could not have been subjected
to greater ienominy.
"Among those who we're thus outraged
may be mentioned the lamented Govern,
ors Wolf and Skunk, and the Hon. Geo,
NJ. Dallas ! nor did ever the sacred desk
escape the persecution Of this fanatical
anti Mason. The Rev. Mr.. 'Sprolis, an
eminent divine Of the Presbyterian
Church, was dragged by an officer of the
House before the "modern juggernaut,"
as he appropriately styled the Committee,
and put under the torture, with q view Of
compelling him to divulge, under oath,
what he knew about this ancient and re-
spectacle institution. But he, following
the example Of The distinguished states
men we have namrd, spuraed the miser
able tyrant Who would thus have him vic
late his honor. These men were only
released from duress by the united votei

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL
~VETOEDsi
BULLY FOR JOHNSON

As has been generally anticipated for
some time, the President has returned,
with his objections, to the Senate, the
house in which it originated, the social.
ed "Civil Rights Bill" The measure
was an enormity in Legislation
attempt of the traitors in CoDgressto sub
vert the rights of the States, destroy the
liberties of tho white man, and erect a
central despotism. In every respect 1t
was wrong, and the wrongs amounted to
great outrages. Every patriot will hon.
or the President for his 6rmness in put
ting his heel upon this worst Of the foul
brood of measures that Congress has
hatohsd-measures that. are designed to
exasperate the South-degrade the white
race and elevate the negro. But, thank
God, the people have in President JOHN
SON a barrier firm as a rock, standing be-
tween them and the Constitution, against
which the black waves of Abolition fanat'
icism dash but to r%ecoil, aud strike terror
and confusion into their own ranks.
Mr.. JOHNSON has proved himself equal
to the emergency. He has laid the cor
ner stone Of a temple Of fame for himself,
upon which history shall inscribe bis
name in eternal characters. We rejoice
that we once more have a President Of
the United States, Of the South 40 we'll as
Of the North. The people are with him,
and so long as he stands upon Constitu-
tional grounds, his position can and shall
be maintained, and his policy Of restora'
ton enforced in the very teeth Of the In
f~ernals in Congress and their traitoroui
supporters. Let the people rejoice,thanl
God, and rally to the supporto Of the
Government I"

A Story Hinged with Romance.
The Wheeling, West Virginia, Lnteli-

Inc Wneeiing, West Flrginla, Ihtett-
gencer relates a remarkable story:
About ten years ago, a young man Of
finished education and polished manners
awoed and won' the hand and heart Of a
daughter of a neighbor. Possessed Of
the girls affections, under the promise Of
marriage, the young man worked the
ruin of the girl, after which he informed
her, in the most heartless manner, that
his object having been gained, he would
now leave his victim to the scorn Of the
world and seek bis fortune in the far
West. He went. The girl followed, and
for nine years she kept on his trail, over
taking him but once, in California, where
he again fed from her. Eventually he
believed her dead, and came back to his
native place. Judge of his surprise, and
Of that Of the whole community, when he
was followed in a short time by the sup,
posed dead girl, who was accompanied By
a bright haired girl Of some nine years Of
agd Confronted with the charge Of his
wrong and deception, and the strong arm
Of the law having beeh invoked, the be-
trayer was compelled to make restitution
as much as possible by marrying the girl
whom had followed him half across a
continent. The parties are now living as
man and wife. at the scenes Of their
former love,
