as handed to us by the Secretary, of the
meeting held at the Court House, on Sat
uriay evening last. 1t purported, in the
call, to be a meeting of patriots, pure and
uudcGled, lovingAPrcsident johnson and
lis policy only because of the peace which
the success of the latter would bring to
to the country, and the permanence it
would secure to republican institutions,
and hating the present Office holders Of
this section, our amiable self among the
rest, because, as the call alleged, of their
only pretending to support the President
That We might view, in all its glory, an
exhibition of patriotism thus foreshadow
ed, we attended the meeting. We found
there some who were Democrats and some
who were Republicans, but very few OF
either or both combined. Some, We had
reason to believe, yeneratc the President
and his policy, but the large majority OF
the few present, we are satisfied, and so
are they themselves, have greater love for
party and its emoluments than for any
thing else We attended that we might
once more enjoy the blessed privilege of
seeing patriots labor with an eye single
to the best interests of the country, but
instead of that, we found the meeting
under the management of political fisher
men, not one Of whom but few months
ago, could mention Andrew Johnson's
name save in tones Of conte mpt, but who
heartily engaged in throwing their bait,
in hopes of catching fish in shape of a
good fat office There was not whimp-
er about the President and his policy
not word for the country-nothing but
fishermen fishing Justify, in pursuance of
plan concocted by head which has not
for some years at least, studied any thing
so much as how best to secure the Office
dispensing and ofice-recciving leadership
of the Democracy of Monroe, without avail.
The attendance at the meeting did not
comprize even moiety Of the friends
of the President iu this section-the
great majority of whom thought it better
to stay away from meeting with so ir-
responsible paternity, and in the proceed
| ings Of which not even half a dozen Of
those present took part. We have heard
but one opinion expressed of the meeting,
and that is that it was farce and a failure
not because of the lack of Johnson spi-
rit in this section of country, but of the
men who essaycd to control it, and of the
uses to which they attempted to pros
titute it. Even its active participants
give unmistakable evidence that they are
ashamed Of it. The result of the meet
| ing is but another evidence of the fact,
that even popular cause, will lose its
prestige in the hands of men who are
prompted to act from selfish motives alone.
The proceedings as handed in are not
exactly as they were had in the meetin ng.
We may feel inclined to ventilatc the
matter little more fully some other
tune.

RAID ON THE COUNTERFEITERs IN
NEW-Y0RK,

FOUR MORE PARTIES UNDER ARREST
TWO OTHER FACTORIES DISCOVERED
Es, STEEL PLATES, ETC, To THE VALUE
OF FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The efforts of the Government towards
the suppression of counterfeiting the Ma
tional securities continue with unabated
vigor. On Wednesday night the secret
service agents acting under W. Z. Wood
Chief Of the Secret Service Division, as
sisted By United States Marshal Murray
succeeded in arresting young man by
the name Of Thomas Wilson, whom they
suspected of being concerned in printing
the bogus fractional currency and other
Government securities. Wilson denied
all knowledge Of the business, but upon
being informed by Chief Wood that his
entire operations had been watched for
a month past he made full confession OF
his guilt and stated that he was ready to
turn over everything in his possession to
the Government authorities.
The capture in this case, consisted OF
niue finely executed steel plates for print
ing fractional currency and ten dollar
grcenback notes, five steel plates for man
ufacturng the long fifty cent Goddess
of Liberty stamps, large quantity ol
dies aud rolls, and portion Of press
for printing the spurious currency. The
remaining portion of the press will be re-
co7ered by noon.
Another Mill Broken Up.
The operation of the Secret Service
men had led them to suspect that an es
ltablishment for the manufacture of the
counterfeit money was located short dis
tance out of the city, in the direction OF
Long Branch, aud they at once set about
its capture. Some adriot plans were laid
but none were crowned with success un
til yesterday, when descent was made
upon the suspected spot, and finer pri ut
ing press than yet taken, was seized. In
addition to this, an elegantly executed
steel plate for printing the backs of the
Spinner head fifty cent notes, was captur-
ed also large quantity of paper, ink
rllls and dyes. The stuff was all boxed
up, aud arrived in this city last evening
\ trunk, nearly filed with bogus money
just ready for distribution, was also seized
and brought to this city They were al
placed in the hands of the United States
Marshal, and the prisoner com mnitted tc
the County Jail.
The arrests in the city still continue
William Wall, alias Wal Crosby, and
William, alias Charlie, Bartlett, were ia
ken into custody on warrants issued, or
charge of dealing in United States coun
cerleit National currency They were
committed to Jail for examination.
The CONSERVATION among the counter
feiters is intense. Knowing themselves
to be guilty they are not certain of secur
ity for Que moment and they find all theil
efforts to "square the job or buy off tho
officers under Mr.. Wood to be most un
successful. Thus far, eleven of the mos
noted manufacturers of counterfeit Ma
tional securities have been taken int
custody, and the amount of plates, press
es, dies, rolls and printing apparatus
seized could not be replaced by the coun
terfeiters for fifty thousand dollars.

course of the Senate, was saved the hu-
initiation and disgrace of modification or
abrogation Of the test oath.
The civil appropriations bill had to run
the gauntlet between the two Houses, and
came at last very near being lost, all in
consequence of a rider" which was tack

WAS determined 10 carry the latter meas
ure, while the Senate was equally deter
mined to defeat it. 4 compromise was
at length effected, and the soldiers will

desired, but still considerably better than
nothing.

some plain ralk with CoSan.

Hon. Samuel A. Purviancs, member Of
the National Union Executive Committee,
has written letter to Edgar Cowan with
reference to the philadelphia 14th of
August Convention, in which he admin
listers terrible excoriation o the apostate
Senator. We make the following extract !:
Your Convention has not yet assem-
bled, and it may not yet be too late for
YOU to retract. No man, no matter how
high position he may occupy, should
feel ashamed TO conform his action to the
wishes of the peopleswho conferred upon
him the trust ne holds. You and the
President ed yours lromt ! he loyal men
North and South, and not from the Val
landighams, PeDdletons, Woods, Sey
moGrs, Reeds, and others like them, an6
as high minded, honorable nfen, finding
you have made mistake, confess it ahd
eschew all further connection 18th the
Convention Of the 14ih of August The
city which contains independence Hall
in which President Lincoln, on his way
10 Washington, ia 1861, declared his
willingness to suffer marsyrdom rather
than sacrifice the principles OF freedom
and the same hall in winch his martyreA
remains lay iG state in 1865, ought not
to be desecrated by any such assem- blage
OF Rebels as will doubtless be there. In
that body there may be some Union
loving, loyal Democrats and Republicans,
ami to them | mean no disrespect but
they will be IN proportion so small that
the sprink ling OF all their salt will not
confer upon the putrid character oi that
body the slightest SAVIOR, and they will
find, when perhaps 1t is TOO late, that
their contact with SO foul an aSsemblage
will result in their political destruction
more eifectually than if they had been
members OF the infamous Hartford Con
ycutIOn.
Your call, emanating as it does from
yourself and few protessed Z uiou men
in Washington City. meets with mo
response from the loyal Union men Of the
States, and in this, the banner Union

nothing more than rebel asscmhlage,

Reconstruc1ion Of tennessee


After six months fight with the President
against the admission of loyal representatives
from Tennessee, the House or Friday last
passed the resolution admitting Tennessee to
representation, by a vote of l25 to Y. Even
Stevens voted for it. The twelve voting
against it are all Republicans This is a
great victory for the President and his friends
The majority of the Radicals could not stand
out against public opinion any longer. Two
weeks ago every man who favored the admis-
Sior of representatives from Tennessee was
denounced Icy the Radical ma jority in Con-
gress and their friends as no better than
traitors and ''COpperheads." Like Billy Big
Ter, this faction of "pure patriots" are getting
weak in the knees.
When the Constitutional amendments We're
passed through both Houses, no State then
out in the cola was to be admitted until the
amendments should be ratified by three
fourths OF the States. But here is sucide n
change of the radical programme, and we
hope there may he further changes until every
State in the Union has ii loyal representation
in Congress. This Andrew Johnson asks tor,
and if the present Congress fails to grant
such repres entation, the next will.-Huating-
den Globe.
The above paragraph is refreshingly
cool, and we have rarely met such a com
mingling of fact and fancy, Of truth and
error, aud such a conlounding of principles
| obviously distinct. Truth, however, in
the article, bears but a slight proportion
TO the amount of error, fancy and romance.
The writer must have drawn largely upon
his imagination, but if he expects the
public to accept his statements as the truth
in the premises, he has shot widely from
the mark this time.
He states the simple truth when he
says that .be House "passed the resolution
admitting Tennessee to representation By
vote Of 125 to H." and this is all there
is in it that bears any resemblance to the
| real question at issue. Instead of this
action being great victory for the Pres
ident and his friends, it is great victory
for Congress and the Radicals The
writer's assumptions are strangely at
variance with the real facts in the case,
for the President has abandoned hts policy.
and not Congress theirs If public opin-
ion has moved anybody in the last two
weeks, the President is the party affected
/ The Radical Congress remains firm. 1t
has abandoned no single idea of recon
struction with which it started, but holds
on its course steadily, and will hold on TO
the end. If the editor of the G!obe win
read the Presidents own words, he cannot
| fail to see who caves In.
| 1t is not true that when the Constitu-
tional amendment was passed through
both Houses of Congress, it was deter
mined to keep all the States ''out IN the
| cold" till three-fourths of the States rati-
fed the amendment and the Radicals
therefore have made no such sudden
changes as the editor of the Globe Zip
| pautly declares them to have made.
| To talk about the Radicals not being
able to stand out against public opinion
any longer, is to talk nonsense. IT'S the
President and his friends that cannot
stand the pressure.

AN OLD CoIN.-J. r. Boyd, Esq, of
Beaver, Pennsylvania, while at work iu
his garden, found a piece of gold coin,
which weighs within two penny-weis hts
OF an ounce, ana which bears the date of
4. d 529. This makes the coin, incred-
ible as ii my seem, 1887 years old The
coin itself is Spanish piece, and was
found in the ground on which the old
Fort M'Intosh stood. 1t is supposed to
have been carried to this place by some
one OF the officers at one time quartered
IN the Fort. MIR. Boyd has refused fEy
dollars for his relic, and prefers to hold
on to it himself. 1t is certainly quaint
piece OF money, and has an age that
reaches great distance back
