IN a BAD FIx.-The people of Phil
adelphia last fall saw fit to elect q
Democrat, City Commissioner, though
they elected all the other nominees of
the Abolition party by nearly 5000
majority. But they cannot get him
into the Commissioners Office, because
his defeated competitor is one of the
present incumbcnts, and he and his
associates arc practicing every species
of fraud immaginable, to defeat the
voice of the people upon this point.
The Abolition nominee was nearly
elected to the Penitentiary last sum-
mcr, by the Court, and defeated for
the Office he now holds by the people,
yet because he is "loyal" he and his
associates are permitted to outrage
law and morals.

Tho rir,t Decision.

Il seems almost incredible, but il is
nevertheless true, that notwithstand.
ing tho three column opinion that
appeared in the journal last fall, sta.
ting that non.rcporting drafted mon
could not vote; Judge King, Of Cham
bersburg, in n late case tried before
hm, decides that they can.
The Judge upsets the gigantic opin-
ion Of John Marshall, jr, in the fol
lowing language:
"Judge King held that the penalty
of forfeiture Of citizenship c0uld not be
inflicted iodh0Wt due process Of iaio, and
that deScters can be diSfrdnchised only
upon coRrictioR Of the o1cnSe by some
competent tribunal. As the act of Con-
gress makes no provision for the ju-
dicial ascertainmcnt and conviction OF
the crime, and the laws of the State
make no such test Of the qualification
of voters, THE VOTES or SUCH MEN
MUST BE ACCEPTED.
This is the first, and probably only
case, among the many that loyal'
men instituted, that will ever be tried
The Democratic Senator in this Dis
trict was elected by majority Of 36,
and the District Attorney by 7 votes
both their seats were contested BY
their Abolition competitors, the lat
ter in the Court and the former in the
Senate, at Harrisburg. The Senate
committee refused to count the votes
of non-reporting drafted men, and
thus gave the seat to the Abolition
contestant, ousting Mr.. Duncan, the
Democratic Senator from his seat in
that body.
Judge King, however, the same
week decided that such votes were
legal, and ordered the certificate to
be made ont to Mr.. Stenger, the Dem
craticcanaidate for District Attorney
Thus the people have another demon
stration of the respect Aboitionists
have for tho elective franchise, when
not cast for their peculiar dogmas and
candidates. The Abolition Senate =
n branch of the law making power,
finds itself ignoring law, and in open
conflict with the courts and the liber-
ties of the people. A pretty predica-
ment for those who claim to be the
especial guardians of law and morali-
ty. If done by any other party, it
would be termed disloyalty and trea-
son.

ABOLITION STRATEGY.-Last winter
the loyalists, through Senator Big
ham, of Pittsburgh, reported bill to
abolish the Office of Surveyor General,
alledging that it was only an expense
to the State, now the same Senator
has introduced a bill doubling the sal
ary of that officer. Tho reason for
this loyal trick is, that the incumbent
heretofore has been Democrat, but
the gentleman elected for the next
three years is an Aboltionist. This
accounts for the milk in the Cocoa
nut. What love those loyal hypocritcs
profess for the taxpayers when the
Treasury doors are closed against
them.

Congress.

This heretofore high and honorable
body, has been turned into a mere
cabal, the members devoting all their
time and energies in farthering their
own projects, and that of the negro
race, to the exclusion of everything
Constitutional, or.in tho interests of
their constituents.
We have heretofore published the
proceedings of this fragmentary and
fanatical body, at considerable length,
TO show our readers how far men could
depart from their legitimate duties,
and for the purpose of instituting a
comparison between the present men,
bership, and those that held seats in
that body during the palmy days Of
Democracy peace, happiness and plen-
ty, and to still farther satisfy them,
that instead Of having statesmen at
Washington, as heretofore, to dis
charge the trusts Of q great and free
people, that we have nothing but q
cross between a knave ard q fool-a
Puritan Philanthropist-men who are
jeopardizing tho rights and liberties
of 40,000,000 frcemen, and upturn-
ing and razing to the ground the foun-
dation Of a great and powerful Repub-
lie, whose requiem they would sing
with as much gusto, as the attendants
Of a negro festival.
In the future, if those political her.
etics, happen to do anything for the
interest of the white race, we will Of
course advise our readers Of the facts.
And if they succeed IN making white
people out Of the negroes, and in this
manner improve the works of the Gre
ator; we shall not be slow in noting
the facts, SO that the "whitc trash"
may be enabled to suit themselves to
the new order of things.
The Governor having returned to
our State Capitol, we will be compeil-
ed in the future, to chronicle the pro
ceedings of the State Legislature, SO
that our readers may also learn the
doings Of that "loyaP and dignifed
O. body, which has heretofore been
engaged in doing nothing. We un-
derstand that the Governors Message
was transmitted to the respective hou-
scs on Monday last, but not having
seen the document, we are unable to
say whether it is in the interest of
the white or the black race.

"BEAsT" BuTLER.-The Philadcl-
phia Age, in commenting on the late
speech of the Beast" delivered in the
Hall of the House Of Representatives,
at Washington, to a mixed audience
of Shoddyitcs and negroes says:
"Thc speech is simply long howl
for blood. It's brutality is in entire
keeping with the history of the man
who made it. AS it contains no argu-
ment, it merits no reply. To It's de-
mand for the judicial murder of Gen
eral Lee and Jefferson DAVIS we have
only this word to say-that if the ar
mics of the North had been cursed
with the leadership Of many such gen.
erals as Butler, we should have had
the rebel flag floating to-day over the
hall in which that bottle-corking war.
rior uttered his clamorous cry for
c0wardly vengeance"

no~Some of our Phila dolphia ex-
changes think that running the street
cars in that city on the first day of the

that of a Clergyman mounting the
sacred desk on Sabbath morning and
deliver himself of a political speech,
which he says occurs very often, in
those days of religious improvements.

ATTEMPT AT REBUKE-The "Pug
Ugly" and Grip Rap city councils of
Baltimore, have passed a vote Of CEN
sure upon the Democratic press of
Maryland, for the manner in which
the Democracy have assailed the Mes
sage of the negro-loving Governor
Swan, who has for years been a Major
General in the "Plug" and Grip SER
vice. Censurc from such source is
indeed high praise, because the crea-
lures that have composed that body
for several years past, never censure
any one except he refuses to partici-
pate in the crimes and habits of their
depraved desires. Hence this vote Of
censure, will only attract the atten-
tion of the honest portion Of the citi-
zens of that State, and lead them to
examine the doctrines Of the Demo
cratic party, which will ultimately re-
suit to the advantage of the citizens
Of that State, which is now governed
by the meanest creatures that inhabit
the outside of a Penitcntiary, and rule
their subjects with a moro iron will,
than ever fell to the lot of Pole.

TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTA-
TIoN.-Thc brazen impudencc, of the
Tax and Stamp officers, at Washing
ton, has never been equalled except
by that first class knave, George the
III. of England, and his satraps,
While they deny representation to the
people of the Southern States, they at
the same time fill those States with
an army Of "loyal' tax gatherers and
retail stamp agents, who together
with the negroes, are devnnring and
eating up the substance of the orphan
and the widow of that section. We
believe that if we were citizen of
that section, and a stamp or tax gath
erer were TO intrude himself too eager
ly into ourpresence,w We would advocate
the same measures against them that
was dealt out to the same class of
creatures, by our Grandfathers at Bos-
ton, about one hundred years ago
VIC would at least tell them to first
give us representation, before they
demand taxation, and that if they
didn't, we would contribute our mite
towards getting up another "TEA
PARTY"

PASSED. The United States Senate,
on Thursday last, by vote of 81 to
10, passed the new Negro Bureau bill.
This bill creates at least regiment
Of new Office holders, at salaries vary
ing from 81 900 to 81, 1000, and appro-
pirates nearly all the public lands in
the Southern States to the black pop
ulation. Senator Davis, of Kentucky,
attempted to give the bill proper IT,
lie, but was ruled out Of order by the
presiding officer.
Mr.. Davis moved to amend the title
OF the bill, so as to name 1t a bill to
appropriate a portion Of the public
lands,and some of the Southern States,
and to authorize the Government of
the United States to purchase lands
and supply farms, and build houses for
the support of the free negroes, to in
vest the Frcedmen's Bureau with un-
constitutional power to promote strife
between the two races, etc.
