TRUTH VS.. FALSEKGOD.

The radical press throughout Tic Sta'e
with scarcely an exception, are very in
dustriously at work to convince the vO-
ters Of the old Keystone, that the LCm-
ocratic candidate for governor sought
the disfranchisl ment Of the men who
were periling their lives in defense Of
the National Government.
We give below the vote in the State
Senate. We hope all who have misrel-
resented him viii place him right Lo-
fore the people. All we ask in relation
to him is the truth. Iihis record, wl.Cn
fairly placed before the people of the
State does not meet with favor, let him
be defeated. But his record is one of
which we are not ashamed. His whole
course since lie frsl entered the Senate
is one Of which the State has reason TO
feel proud.
Read this record on "a joint rcsolr-
ton proposing an Amendment to the
Constitution extending the right OF suf-
frage to citizens III actual military se.-
vice." which upon coming before tie
Senate, on its final passage, the .yeaS

stored. | know there are some who
have been at home calculating during
the war, and who bring to the consid-
aration of questions of peace and har-
mony and the occupations Of civil life,
all the feelings Of resentment which an
inated us when the excitement was NJ
md running high, but take the brave
men who sustained the flag in the field
md on the wave, and you vii! find bet
eer feelings and better judgment on
hese questions than you will find with
hose who have been sitting in thecloset
and never smeit gunpoWder.
Yes, from the private up TO the COM
handing general, they knew better
how to treat the present circumstances
than any Of these elevated patriots and
humanitarians. Then, my country
men, fellow-citizens, soldiers and SAL
ors, let Us rejoice that peace has come;
let us rejoice that the relations of the
States are about being restored. Let Us
make every effort we can on proper
principles to restore the relations which
existed between the Federal Govern
ment and the States.
thank God that peace is restored. !
thank God that our brave men can re-
turn to their families and homes and
resume their peaceful avocations. ]
thanz God that the baIefuI planet of
ire and blood, which, a short time ago
vas in the ascendant, has been chased
away by the benignant star Of peace,
Now that the bow of peace is suspend
ID in the heavens, let us cultivate the
arts and relations Of peace, and all those
associations which appertain to men in
peace.
The time is not distant when we can
havea political millennium, 4 politi, al
ubiIee, and when we can proclaim to
all the nations Of the earth that we aIe
again united people, and that we have
5riumphantly passed through our third
ordeal, having peace at home and pow
er to bid defiance to all the world.
Remember one thing, gentlemen, that
in my past life, though sianderers may
have misrepresented me, no one can
say that l ever deceived or betrayed
aim 1t will be Tor you to see in the
future who will be most faithful. l

ment you have paid me.

Last week we noticed in our paper,
the eiopement of a white girl, named
G.itfigh. of s nnar5et county, with
Buck Niger who had been employed
By her fatner. We stated then that he
had said that he would rather that his
d igner would marry negro thah

is 34ly Griffith, but rs there are four
Billy Griffi .hs, we would beg leave to
STATE that it is not Brick House Billy,
nor Tow Head Billy, nor New Years

He is a crazy Abo.itiO2ist, aad was a
great friend of old Abe Lincoln, and is
a great opponent Of President Johnson.

JOSH BILLINGS on COUNTING.

Courtin is 4 luxury, it IS ice water,
it is the pla spell of the sole. The man
who hes never c0rted hes lived in vain.
lie has been a blind man among land
,capes, he hes been q def man in the
and Of hand-organs, and by the side
Of murmuring canals. Corting is like
W0 little springs Of water that starts
out from under a rock at the foot of
mountain, and runs down hill, side by
side, singing, dancing, scattering each
other, eddying and frothing and kas-
lading, now hiding under the bank,
lowfull Of shadder, byenby they jine,
and tAen go slow. l am i'll favor Of
.ong corting; it gives the parties Il
chance tofind out each others trump
cards. 1t Is good exercise, and is just
is innocent as ) merino lambs.
Corting Is like strawberries ard
creain-wants to be did slow, then you
have got the flavor. l have seen folks
get acquainted, fall in luv, get mar
ried, settled down, and get to work,
in three weeks from date. This is the
wa sum folks Iarn Il trade-akounts for
lhe great number Of almighty mean
mechanics and poor jobs they turn out.
Perhaps it is best | should state sum
good advice to young men who are Il
bout to court with view 10 matrim0-
ny as ii was. In the fust place, young
men, you Wantto get yure system awl-
right, then find a young woman who is
willing to be courted on the square.
The next thingis 10 find out how Old
she is; which you can do by asking
her, and She will 81 she is l9 years Old,
and this YOU will find won't be far OUT
Of the VA.
The next thing is to begin moderate;
81 once in every mite in the week for
the fust six months, increasing the dose
Is the pashent seems to require.
It is Il fust rateway 10 court the girls
mother a litrle on the start, for there is
thing a woman never despises, and
that is a little good courtin, if it is done
on the square.
After the fust year you viii begin to
pet acquainted, and will begin to like
Che bizincsss.
There is thing Ialways advise, that
is not to swop foJygraphs oftener than
onset every Is daze, unless you forget
how the gal looks.
Occasionally you want to look sorry
and draw in your wind as tho you had
Il pain; this will set the girl til teez.ng
you tn find out what ails you.
Evening meetings are good thing
to tend. 1t will keep your religion il
tune, and if yure gal happens tn be
there, bi accident, she can ask yu tn go
home with her.
Aza general thing woodn't Dragon
other girls much when was cOurtin.'
1t might look as though yu knu tew
much.
If you court three weeks in this wa,
all the time on the square, if yu don't
say it is the slaekest time of your life.
you can go to the "Young America"
cheap store and get measured for aplug
hat at my expense and pay for it.

O,r Nations Strength.

The next ordeal through which a ma
ton has to pass is when it is called up
on to give evidence thatit has strength
capacity and power to maintain itself
among the nations Of the earth; in
givingsuch evidence we passed through
the war of 1912, and through the war
with Mexico, and we IassCd
through all the struggles that have
since occurred up to the beginning of
the Rebellion. This was oursecond or
deal. But a nation has another test
sill to undergo, and that is to give ev-
idence to the nations of the earth, and
to its own citizens, that it has power to
resist Internal foes, that it has strength
enough to put down treachery at home
and treason within its own borders.

SPEECH or PRESEDENT JOHNSON
To the Soldiers and Sailors.

Procession Of Soldiers and Sailors.
WASHINGTON, April l8.-At six O.
clock this evening a procession of SOL
diers and sailors, and such of their
friends as sympathize with them in
their grateful acknowledgements to the
President for his order lately issued,
directing the Heads of Departments to
give preference in appointments and
promotions to the subordinate offices
to persons who have rendered hOnOra-
bic service in the army and navy, was
formed and marched to the Executive
Mansion with the Marine Band, to SER
enade President Johnson, who had sig
nified to the committee that he would
accept the compliment.
AddreSs to the President.
4 very large number Of persons Of
both sexes were previously on the
ground awaiting the demonstration.
At5.I5 the band played several patriot
ic airs. when the President made his
appearance, and was greeted with huz-
Zas by the assembled thousands. He
took Il stand in the coping of the wall,
near the carriage way, on the north
side Of the White House, when hewas
addressed on behalf of the soldiers and
sailors by one of theirnumber in high
ly complimentary terms, saying, in
conclusion. sin return for your kind
ness we can but offer our sympathies
and prayers, and trust that an All-wise
Providence, who has brought our ma
rion through baptism of blood, and
10 whom we c0nsecrate it anew, from
slavery and by a nations tears, will 50
guide and direct you tat you may
calm the troubled waters, harmonic
public opinion, and restore our whole
country once more to peace and pros
perity."
The Presidents Speech.
President johnson said: 1t is not af-
fectation in me TO say that language Is
inadequate to convey the heartfelt feel
ings produced ON this occasion by your
presence here, and by the presentation
of your sentiments, as expressed by
your representative in his address, and
in the resolutions which you have
.houghtproper to adopt. Iconfess that
in the peculiarpostureof publicatiairs,
your presence and address give encour-
agement and confidence TO me in my
efforts to discharge the duties incum-
bent upon me as Chief Magistrate Of
the Republic; and in what l have to
say shall address you in the character
Of citizens, sailors and soldiers. ] shau
speak to you on those terms, ANTON
none other.

We have commenced that ordeal,
and | trust in God we.will pass through
it successfully. Cheers | feel COM

rascntative to the fact that / stood in

nation was entering on this third Orde

principles which | then enunciated.
[ stand here to-day opposing traitors
and treason, whether they be in the
South or in the North. Loud cheers.
| stand here to-day as / then stood, u
sing all my powers, mental and physic
al. to preserve this nation in passing
through the third phase of its exist
ence.
The organized forces and combined
powers that recently stood arrayed a.
gainst us are disbanded and driven
from the field; but it does not follow
that there are still no enemies against
our present form Of Government and
our free institutions. (Applause.) /

of its own will to separate itself from
the other States, and thereby to destroy
