WHAT is IA c"qurtte A young lady of
more beauty than sense, more accomplishments
than learning, more charms of person than grace
of mind, more admirers than friends, more fools
than wise men for attendants.
THERE is nothing that takes the starch
out of an aristocrat soon as to nominate him to
some Office that comes before the people. He's
tawning a dog, an as polite and neighborly
a French dancing master Elections by e peo-
pie do more to take the starch out of the ruf1ed
shirt gentry than anything else.
RELIGION consists, not in the doing of ex
traordinary things, but in doing common things
extraordinary we'll.
You've men, and young women, you have
the elements of a better character-perhaps great
character-withn you and if you make 10 your
mind to develop that into its proper expression
through the acts of your life, no common obstacles
can possibly stand between you and your success

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER.
HARRISBURG, Pa, June 3, 1865.

HARRISBURG, Pa, June ., 1865. |
SIR There are Two subjects connected
with the discharge of volunteers which are
of so much Importance that | feel justified
in calling your attention to them
First The men are being paid only TO
the day of their arrival at the place they
are to be discharged This will cause them
to lose few days pay, depending princi
paily upon the promptness and disposition
of the officers Of the United States having
the matter in charge. 1t is a matter of lit
tie moment to the Government, but the
men feel it to be an injustice, and if, under
the acts of Congress, they can be paid until
discharged, | think you will agree with
them.
Second. In Circular No. 29 from Provost
Marshal Generals Office, dated July l9.
1864, under which the volunteers now to
be discharged were raised, it is stated that
the bounty provided by law is as follows
For recruits, including representative
recruits, white or colorcd, Sl00"
And it is further added, that the first in
stalment of the bounty will be paid when
the recruit is mustered in, as follows:
"To IA recruit who enlisted in the army
for one year, S33 49,"
On these terms the men enlisted and
they are ofopinion that they are entitled to
the remainder of their bounty when dis
charged from service
1t is proposed, however, to pay them but
a part of this remainder, because the gov
ernment does not require their services for
the full term of their enlistment, and APP
pears to be breach of the contract be.
tween the Government and the men. The
bounty was held out by the Government as
an inducement to enlist, not as an additional
pay for services to be rendered The men
became entitled to it by the fact of enlist
ment, and could only forfeit what remained
unpaid by some misconduct, of which such
forfeiture should be legal penalty. These
matters are creating much unpleasant feel
ing among the men. | need not say to you.
they have behaved galantly, and the coun-
try owes them everything and if it can
possibly be avoided they ought not to be
sent home under the feeling that the Gov
ernment, when their services are no logger
required takes the first opportunity to treat
them unjustly and violate its contract with
them.
assure you that unless these difficulties
are relieved there will be created "a general
discomfort which will be injurious hereafter;

The President and Language Gug.
gesfiVe OF his Assassination.

Pie Chicago Republican, (Rad. in
'alluding to that portion of the Presidents
speech, in which he declares the speeches
of Sumner, Stevens and Phillips are sug-
gestive of assassination, says: e Mr.. john
son may dismiss his fears; he has passed
the point of danger" The
spirit that moves men to strive for the
protection Of the poor, the lowly and the
weak, is not the spirit that incites the
murder" History denies the truth Of
the last paragraph quoted TWAS the class,
who professed to be actuated by that very
spirit, In the French Revolution, that
committed the atrocious murders Of that
memorable period. They we're the fanat-
les and the pretenders-who aimed at
power, united, that did the bloody work
and all for the protection of the poor.
the lowly and the weak, as they professed.
With Sumner declaring the President
e an obstacle to be removed ]" Thad.
Stevens denouneing him as an usurper :,
Wade proclaimed him g a rebel at heart -
Phillips associating his name with Burr
and Arnold" and the New York Tribune
calling him 'sdictator," what other con-
cIusion could the President arrive at than
that such suggestions were suggestive, and
intended to be provocative Of agsassina-
ton? Simply because the President pre-
ferred his way Of preserving the Union
and restoring harmony, to that Of these
men who denounced him. That was the
whole of it. He was not aiming at power
for himself He was refusing power
despotic power that Congress Vas forcing
on him.

Radicals Description OF the
President.

The Hon John d. Baldwin, Member
of Congress from Massachusetts,, writes
the description Of Andrew johnson and
his late speech. Baldwin Is Of the Sum
ner-stevens stripe in politics.
= What the President said is
before the country How he said it, my
poor words may fail to tell. For the first
time | stood near and looked closely on
the man. In the course Of .an eventful
life have seen many men of wilful pow
err and force, but never before have l
looked on one so thoroughly embodyiDg
the evil spirit Of revolution. It will not
do to undcrrqte Mr. johnson. He is tey-
ribly in earnest and withal most vim
dictively cool. a thoroughly paced dem
agogue, his ineonsequential logic, his ego
tism, his repetitions, his thorough belief
in himself, and his popularity, are all ell
ements of strength when he faces such
asselnblages as were arrayed about him
yesterday Andrew johnson IS an able
man; how able, / never realized till yes:
terday. All results are invoked in his
policy. Had he Cabinet as able and as
desperate, the dire results which the near
future would bring could hardly be named
now. We stand on the verge of frey
strife, to meet which the country should
gather its strength and gird up its loins.
This man is no weak Buchanan, and he
means to crush Congress or be crushed
Mr.. johnson is a man of stalwart mould.
Just above middle stature, he is so broad
shouldered, firm set, and deep chcsted, as
almost to seem below it. He has large
head It is compact home for his fiery
will and brain. His face is marked, strong
oval outline, powerful under jaw, well de-
fined but rather sharp chin; vide,
straight mouth, full flexible lips, skin
coarse in texture but firm, complexion
swarthy, hair coarse black, streaked with
gray, nose small at, the root. but full
and large at the nostrils, which expand
and lift as he speaks, broad roomy FORE
head, beetling bushy eyebrows, be-
meath which are pair of the coolest, ha-
eel gray eyes I ever saw in a human head;
these are the outlines of Andrew johnson.
His voice is clear, harsh, powerful and
penetrating. When he seems speaking
with most excitement, he is evidently the
coolest man in the world. watched him
with the awakened interest Of one who
felt the magnitude Of the crisis the speak
ing was creating, and am convinced that
all he said was weighed and measured,
and meant to bring about osrtaia results.
When the tumult Of applause which greet
ed his strongest denuneiasion and most
violent attack was surging around, those
cold eyes and that crafty smile could be
seen calculating the entirs scene and its
accessories.

around these halls cluster The prou3est
associations Of the American people.
They seem almost sacred ii their eyes
No hostile foot of foreign foq or domestic
traitor has treadea them in triumph
Above it floats the flag, the emblem of our
Union. That Union is the emblem Of the
.triumphs of the white race That race
rules by the ballet. Shall we surrender
the ballot, the emblem of our sovereignty;
the flag, tho emblem of our Uaion; the
Union the emblem of our national glory.
that they may become the badges of our
weakness and the trophies Of another
race? Never, sir!-heveF, never!

Why THE Memo WAS HUNG.-The
Knoxville east Tennessee) Whig, in
speaking of the late lynching Of negro
in that place, who had murdered an old
Union man, Colonel Dyer, says:
It was not until two hours after the
murder Of Colonel Dyer that there was,
any appearance Of mob or purpose to
mob the murderous guard and not then,
until it was known that he was not under
arrest, and it was currently reported and
believed throughout the city that the
negro would escape. The fact known t0
the people that two or three citiyenz had
been murdered in East Tennessee by
colored soldiers, without provocation, and
that the murderers escaped unpunished,
created the belief that such would be the
case In fact, when the mob eolleotsd 1t
Captain Abdills Office and demanded the
negro, this officer told them that he had
instructed the negro TO get out Of the way.
When the mob learned this they menaced
Captain AbdiIl with threats Of hanging;
on the charge that he was accessory %
the escape. They then demanded that
Captain Abdill should seek him. This
he left them to do with persons who went
With him, but returned with the infofnla-
ton, that his search was ii vain. me

him. &

FEEFaEEGtE3 eSF OUR CURRENCY
GPESH THkE EABORzNG MASSES.


On no class Of the community DO the
vibrations Of trade, proc lced By a fuctu-
ating currency, operate SO oppressiveiy as
upon the laboring masses. Their wages
are the last to rise when trade prospers,
and the first to fall when it is depressed
The real value of the wagcs they receive
consists not in the nominal price, but in
the value Of the price. They may receive
great nominal wages, and find their labor
To illustrate-if man re-
ceives twelve dolIsrs week under pa
per currency, as the wages of his labor,
and il costs him twelve dollars week to
support himself in consequence of en-
HANGED prices produced by that currency.
It is clear that he industry is not so well
rewarded rs it would be If he received ten
dollars of a specie currency, and was OBJ
liged 10 expend only eightof it to sustain
his existence.
All the protection the laboring classes
ask of the Government is to give them a
currency that shall be sound and stable ;
for then they know, that since money is
the measure of the value of their labor,
they are sure their industry will receive
its just compensation They know that
they shall not be obliged, as they now
are, to pay enhanced prices for the neces-
saries of life, as the currency is progress
ing in a course of imitation, while their
own wages remain stationary, or lag slug
gishly up the ascent; and that they shall
not be pared down by contractions of the
currency and be obliged to receive de-
Iscending wages, while they continue the
payment of prices that submit slowly to
the power or depression. The laboring
men Of this country have not been unin-
terested witnesses of the action of our
system of paper money for the last four
years They have seen it expanding and
contracting, the currency, raising and
lowering the prices of all vendible com
modities, and elevating or depressing the
wages of labor at its pleasure; oyeE-task-
ing industry, with its demands when mon
ey is plenty, aud subverting it when it is
scarce concentrating in the hands of the
one hundredth and fftieth part of the
population Of the country, and eighth
part of its whole wealth; enabling, By the
power Of monopoly, the privileged few
without labor, to amass fortunes at the
expense of the unprivileged many These
things the laboring men have seen; and
more than all. they have felt the mighty
power of the system to draw off, into the
capacious reservoirs of associated wealth
almost all the profits of their industry
They now begin to feel the solemn trutl
of the declaration once made by Dir
Webster g That of all contrigances fol

SYDNEY SMITH ON AMERICAN
TAXES.

Sydney Smith, in the F1inburg Re,
view, january, 1920. conhfBIted an ar
ticle on America, written-an nnusual
thing for British critic then-in the
kindliest spirit to this country. He says:
" We can inform Jonathan what are
the inevitable consequences of being too
fond Of glory Taxes upon every arti-
Gle which enters into the mouth or Gov
ers the back, or is placed under the foot
taxes upon everything which it is pleas
ant to see, hear. feel, smell, or taste
taxes upon warmth, light, and locomotion
taxes on everything on earth, and the
waters under the earth-on everything
that comes from abroad, or is grown at
home-7rtaxes on the raw material-taxes
-an every fresh value that is added TO it
by the industry of map-taxes on the
sauce which peppers mans appetite, ard
the drug WHICH restores him to health
on the ermine which decorates the Judge,
andthe rope which hangs the criminal
on the poor man salt, and the rich man S
spice-on the brass nails of the coffin,
and the ribbons ofVthe bride-at bed or
board, couehant, or lAyant, we must pay.
The schoolAoy whips his taxed top-the
beardless youth manages his taxed horse,
with taxed bride, on taxed road and
the dying Englishman, pouring his taxed
medicine, which has paid Z per cent, In
to a'spoon that has paid ID per cent,
filings himself back upon a chintz bed
which has paid % per cent, and expires
in the arms of an apothecary, who has
paid a license of hundred pounds for
the privilege of putting him to death
His whole property is then Immediately
taxed from to 10 per cent. Beside the
probate, large fees are demanded fol
buryins him in the ehaneel; his virtues
arc handed down to posterity on taxed
marble and he is then gathered to his
fathers to be taxed no more. In addi
ton to all this, the habit of dealing with
large sums will make the Government
ayarieious and profuse; and the system
itself viii infallibly generate the yermine
of spies and istfornsrs,- and still ,ne-s
