The Tariff.

The passage of the Tariff bill by the low
er House of Congress was hailed with the
liveliest feelings of anticipation by the la
boring classes generally throughout the coun-
try; but the eote Of the Senate, in post
poning action on the bill until December
10th, is as universally regretted and execra-
ted This action of the Senate viii induce
excessive importations from abroad-the
effect of which will be to close up many of
our factories, furnaces, and other manufac-
turing establishments, to the detriment of
all classes throughout the country The
artisan, with proper protection to manufac-
lures. is consumer of agricultural products.
which creates market for the farmer but
the moment you take away that protection.
he is compelled to become producer to
maintain himself and family, and thereby
destroys the demand for the farmers pro-
duce. Thus it is evident, that any action
OF Congress that will affect any one branch
of our industrial pursuits, must affect the
others. We hope the Senate will act wise
ly in this matter, by reconsidering its vote
of postponement and at once passing the
Tariff bill

Union of Extremes.

Wendell Phillips quite agrees with the
Democrats that the Congressional plan of
restoration is an outrageous one, and that
the Constitutional amendment should not
be ratified. Here is union of extremes
quite refreshing. But there is nothing new
in 1t. When moderate men are united, men
of extreme views and action are generally
found practically coalescing. 1t is not the
first time the Democrats have derived sup
port from Mr.. Philips-but we are no.
aware that even thus reinforced they have
been able to accomplish anything serious.

Evidences Of Reconstruction.

One evidence of reconstruction at the
South is to be found in the release by the
local courts, on writs of habeas corpus, of
criminals heretofore convicted and impris-
oned by the military courts of the United
States for high crimes aud miSdemaanors.
An instance of this kind has just been at
tempted in Charleston, but General Sick!es
declined to release the criminals The next
step was to send Marshal TO arrest Gener-
al Sickles for contempt of Court, but the
General refused to be arrested. Secretary
Stanton being appealed TO, endorsed his
course. There the matter remains for the
present, but it is pretty evident that the
moment peace is fully restored to the Reb-
els, general jail delivery of the miscrean. 5
who have murdered our soldiers and op-
pressed the Union people of the South will
take place.

Burning of a Negro in Georgia.

An Augusta Ca dispatch of the I'd
instant stated that negro had been burned
at the stake near Macon The following
order from General Woods throws light
on the affair: H4
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE
SOUTH. MACON, GA, July 5, lS66-It has
been officially reported to the Commanding
General that one Pomney O'Bannon, CON
fined at Toomsboro, Wilkinson county,
Georgia on charge of murder, was taken
from legal custody by mob and put to
death with lnhuman atrocity.
The facts shown by investigation are that
y Bannon was the probable accompiice of
William --(now a fugitive) in the murder
OF Mrs. Louisa Rollins, and In murderous
violence towards other members of the
family; that he was taken from the iail at
this place upon warrant, and delivered to
the Deputy Sheriff In said county; that he
was then seized by mob Of 200 or 300 per-
sons of Toombsborough and vincinity, and,
by their unanimous vote, was chained to a
tree, and after his ears had been cut off.
was tortured to death by burning.
These unlawful proceedings show that the
civil authorities are unable to compel re-
spect for even the forms of justice in said
county. Therefore, as there is reason to
believe that upon the apprehension of the
supposed principal of OBonnon ciyiliza
ton will be again disgraced in = like manner.
the transfer of the said William. to
said county, is hereby forbidden until exc
cutive guarantee is shown that due process
of law will not he exceeded in his case.

THE Great Fight. +"


Hon. Horace Maynard, one of the ablest
of the Tennessee Unionists, writes thus to
Gov Brownlow: II shall endeavor to be in
Tennessee shortly, and at Nashville by the
time the Legislature convenes. / see the
rebels howl over the proposed amendm ents
to the Constitution. That ought to deter
mine the Union men at once. Gov. Pier
pont sent me, this morning, an editorial
from the Richmond Times of yesterday, the
most violent, wicked, malignant and devil
ish. The great fight will be in the coming
election this fall If the Union men sus-
tain themselves, the onward course of events
is easy and pleasant for the country. If
they are overthrown, then the Southern
Confederacy revives, and starts out on a
new career.

SURE FOR CLYMER.-The adler, the
Dutch Bible of the Berks county Democ-
racy, is highly delighted with the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court of this State
giving deserters the right to vote, and no
wonder. The Adler counts upon it as GER
tain that every deserter will be sure to vote
the Copperhead ticket, and the Adler is
right. There is not deserter, or bounty
jumper, or ex-rebel in the State that will
not vote for Clymer; and surely they should,
for Clymer voted against the bill disfran-
chising deserters. Our brave soldiers, who
served faithfully during the war, should
take note of this Copperhead exultation of
their prospect of being reinforced by deser-
ters, and skulkins towards.
