RELICS OF THE GREELEY REFoRMA.

RELICS OF THE GREELEY REFoRMA-
,TIoN.-One of the most daring at
tempts at Bank robbery ever brought
to our knowledge, was attempted in
this place on Saturday last. 1t ap-
pears, from the confession Of one OF
the parties, that a conspiracy was
entered into to rob either one or all
three of the Banks, and that, too, in
broad day light. Three young men
(whose names we withhold through
respect for their friends,) came to
town in the morning, and after visi
ting all the Banks, asking some plau
sible question in relation to checks
money, &C., finally succeeded, in the
afternoon, in grabbing up, at the First
National, between three and four hun
dred dollars. One of them gobbleC
up three $50 and one 800 bills, anC
| the other about ninety dollars, in So
and S10s. The latter was caught il
the act, and the others were capture,
yesterday. They are all now in Jail
The barn of Stacy w. Thompson
in Boggs township, was fired by al
lincendiary on Friday night consuming
everything, together with valuable
horse and carriage. During the fir
an attempt was made to rob the store
by removing a pane of glass in th
, back door and removing the bolt il
side; but fortunately the door bt
tween the store-room and the ware
room was locked, and the robber
failed in their attempt.

gress take the position that the seeded
States are out of. the Union If this posi-
ton is. correct, then the secessionIsts accom-
plished their purpose and dissolved the
Union But it is not so. The Senate did
not consider them out of the Union after
they had passed their secession ordinances.
Tennessee, for instance. passed such aseces-
sion ordinance. She did alb that was possiL

time after Tennessee passed her secession

REMARKS OF

ON THE RECoSSTRTCTIoNs sRESoLUTIeN, DE-
LIvERED IN TUE HOUSE OF REPREsENTA-
TvEs,r ON THE 5TH OF APRIL, 1866.
M: Speaker II do not propose to pro-
long this discussion, but simply make few
remarks When this Resolutic.l was intro
duced in the House, 1 did not intend to say
one word upon. it but, since the discussion
has taken such broad range, the clergy
and the bar having had, as it would seem,
their entire satisfaction in discussing the
Resolution, it would hardly be expected that
the press remain entirely silent upon this
subject shall not make any attempt to
reply to the argument advanced by the gen
tleman from Philadelphia Mr. RUDDIMAN
as fail to discover asiall must wlro heard
it, anything, in itereauiring- attention, but
shall eonfine myself to the Resolution before
the House. IT.. Z = ! = q -
The Resolution before the House, if l
properly understand it, proposes certain
chsnges in the Constitution of the United
States. As this is proposition from the
Republican side of the House. the first re-
mark which it naturally suggests is, that
frorn among all our people, those who have
been the loudest IN their hypocritieal pro-
fsssiors of devotion to the Constitution and
the sUnion,, are the first ones to. declare
secession accomplished fact, and the first
to discover that our blessed Constitution

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 4.

Editors Democrat d' Star The Guber-
material contest is now the all-absorbing
question with the people of Pennsylvania.
Upon Its result depends the material inter
ests of Free Government and Constitutional
Liberty. not only for the present time, but
for all time to come; legacy of inexhausti-
bic wealth, or an endless curse to unborn
generations
propose in these brief essays, astime adj
vances, to discuss with candor, the measures
of the respective parties and the principles
of the opposing candidates.
Mr.. Clymer' characters beyond reproach
and his political record has long since gone
into history, and is not only clearand clean,
but is part and parcel of the history of the
great Democratic party of the State and
Nation. His enemies SANDER him when
they say that he refused to legislate appro-
priations for the Government, or to volun-
teer for the suppression of the Rebellion. =
He did both, and defy successful contra
diction
Mr.. Geary has no public record, and is
one of those political nondescripts which is
an-things to all-men, and can shape his
course to suit all shades of politicians. Pass
ing over the fact, that but a few months ago,
John w. Geary claimed to bea Democrat,
and was begging the nomination of the
Democratic Convention for the Office of
GovernCr, r, I would call attention to his
course in the Mexican War. When his
regiment was engaged with the enemy, Col.
Geary took shelter in ditch, and left his
men to be commanded by the subordinate
officers. This is historical truth, attested
by men. who served in the same company,
and not one Of whom, I am assured will sup
port him for Governor.
His valor in the lateabolition war is much
of the same sort He knew how to take
care Of himself, and thus lostt the confidence
of his brave soldiers; few of whom, if any.

Chief Justice Chase has reversed the de-
cision of the Military Court Martial, in the
case of three men condemned to death in
Indiana, and has decided that their trial was
in violation of law and the Constitution.
This decision was made by an intensified
Abolition Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, being the first
of the kind that came before that tribunal
and it was his only alternative or the com
initial of perjury And this decision covers
every illegal arrest and military trial
in the country, including the sCouch-Cad-
wallader invasion, in 1864, of Columbia
county,
Now what becomes of the murlerers of
our citizens, who were thus Kidnapped and
died in the Lincoln Bastiles?" What of
the lives Of hundreds of innocent people,
who during the war were shot and hung
after a farcical trial? God have mercy on
these military mobs and audacious rioters.
The vengeance Of insulted Heaven and the
wrath of their injured families will overtake
them in due time, and give them justice
And, Fellow Democrats, what is your posi-

You boldly opposed their hellish deeds.

NEW SERIES. VOL. L. NO. TO.


A gentleman having occasion to go to the
city the other day, put up at one OF these
fashionable Hotels. Supposing that every,
body who paid his bill at the office was treat
ed alike, at the usual hour ne went IN 10
dine. 1t was as much as a bargain that he
even got a respectable sized piece OF roast
beef.-the most ordinary article that could
be called for. After disposing Of the beef,
with spoonful of mashed potatoes, he ex-
amined the bill of fare again, and selected
'.apple pie,' and "sponge pudding" not
that he cared anything particularly about
the pudding but simply on account of
variety
The niger in attendance, who looked
more like an angry bear with sore head,
than even Understanding at you all the
time YOU were eating, as if he could eat yoI
for presuming to be white, or something
else-returned with the mere ghost OF a
piece of pie and piece, no, it was the
mere fraction of piece of pudding, whose
entire length and breadth was, at the out
side. one and one-half inch thick, with a
tea spoon full of some kind of liquid upon
it. The gentleman says 'he remarked to
the darkey that he thought he must have
intended to stall him on that slice !; but
this only added to the savage moroseness OF
cufee. He was indignant because halt
dollar had not been quietly slipped into his
palm, and was determined, at the risk OF
the reputation of the Hotel, to starve, or at
least drive eff, all such customers from the
house in. future.
The facts are, that this was the first visit
of the gentleman to that Hotel and we
are assured, his last.
So much is the system of ''black- mailing
getting into disrepute that we see some OF
the New York Hotels advertise that ser
wants are not allowed to receive any compen-
sation from travellers on the pain of imme-
diate dismissal.

Hotels in Pittsburg, it would not only be a

One of the greatest nuisances connected
with City Hotels is the black mail levied

who wait upon the tables.

cents per day, exorbitant as it is, at the

For the Democrat and Star.

MEssRs. JACoBY & IEELER II have de-
Iayed writing, since my last article was so
long time appearing in print, but when last
in town, and learning that the delay was
owing to the crowded state of your columns,
I have concluded to continue the series, as
intimated in the first communication. Our
neopIe here like the DEMOCRAT AND STAR,
the organ of the great Democratic party of
Columbia, and intend to show, by giving it
our liberal support, that it shall be well sus-
tained. Nor are we likely to be gulled by
the pretensions of the proposed new paper,
the abolition disorganizers new journal, or
any other ,colf in sleeps clothing.
Ina former number spoke of the chang
ed condition of things in the Fishingcreek
Valley, and / now propose to take a
wider view, and hastily consider the vast
change that has recently and happily over
shadowed the whole country. White men,
not only here but elsewhere, are now being
considered as good as negroes. The days of
Illegal arrests and military outrages are num-
bered and justice is about to resume Its
vented sway. The innocent men of this
peaceful valley, are no longer harrassed by
the Lincoln Blood Hounds, "-as the prin-
cipals in that bloody drama are employed in
getting up another organ Of treason in
Bloomsburg,-but President johnson has
manfully taken his stand in defense of the
Columbia democrat and star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1867, 1866-05-02
