at Washington.
Mr.. Noel, Of Missouri, on the 18th
inst, introduced a bin in the Wash
ington Rnmp allowing women the
right TO vote in the District Of Col
umbia.
A "human devil" entered the stable
Of DIR. Thornton, of Lewisburg, one
night last week, and cut the tongue
out of his most valuable horse. That
fiend will commit murder if an oppor
tunity offers.
What harvest Geary, the Gov
ernor, "a lifelong Democrat"-Brews-
ter, the Attorney General, "a lifelong
Democrat"-Cameron, the Senator, ga
lifelong Democrat'-thesc are the
fruits of the Radical victory in Penn
sylvania.
The Bellefonte Press, the home or
gan of Gov. Curtin, thinks that Simon
Wig-wag thoroughly understands the
wants OF Pennsylvania, and that he
will act for her good. The editor
feels melancholy over the fact that
the old chief is charged with bribery.
A stay-at-home wide-a-wake, named
Glass, who ran against Col. Linton in
Cambria county last fall for Assembly,
and defeated by SO majority, is now
at Harrisburg contesting the Uolonel's
scat in that body. What great re
spect some of those loyalists have for
law and the soldier-in a horn.
We disagree with the is. Senator
elect very much upon one vital point.
He says: 81 hope to live to see the
word WHITE stricken from our Con-
stitution, and the spirit of caste, based
upon color, utterly destroyed" We
hope Gen. Cameron will die, and live
in heaven ten thousand years, before
this sad calamity befalls our country.
Ben Loan, a loyal Rumper from
Missouri, read a speech in the House
on the l4th, charging the President
with the assassination of Mr. Lincoln,
for which he was called TO order by a
brother Rumper named Hale, but the
Speaker, Colfax, decided that Loan
was in order, and might blackguard
and slanderth government as much
as he pleased, because he was "loyal." I"
1t is stated that Gen. Cameron pur-
chased all the candidates, notwith-
standing the boast Of the "great Com
moner' that all were honest men, and
sixteen loyal members of the Legisla-
ture, including five clergymen, for the
sum of $4,000. This is less than Judas
charged for similar work, when every
thing was much cheaper, and $4,000
less than he offered DIR. Boyer for his
vote alone. This is certainly a rich
| joke on those men controlled by"grand
moral ideas"
The loyal electioneering cards sent
out last fall by the Leaguers, known
as the deserter's list, just cost the State
Treasury 81 ,5O0-thus saving the loyal
State Committee that sum. 1t is a
very easy matter to run a machine
when you can use other peoples mon
ey to do it with. People often wonder
where all the taxes 90. Here is an
item Of $500 Gen White spent
$1,000 on the last 4th of July, and
Bergner got $4,000 for keeping up
the loyal Telegraph.
The Yankee trick in attempting TO
abolish the distinctions Of race and
color is new invention, and some
thing the Lord overlooked when he
pronounced everything "very good. "
Will some modern soothsayer inform
us how the Creator of all things hap
pened to perpetrate this blunder, in
a distinction of race and color, and
that to this day he adheres to his origi-
nal plan, notwithstanding the error
has times without number been point
ed out by Sumner & Co.
One Gay last week the members of
our State Assembly were RECALLED with
prayer from a Rev. Mr. Kennedy, Of
Wyoming county. The individual
while addressing throne of Grace,
told the Lord that the Constitution of
the United States needed amending
so as to fully come up to the standard
of loyalty-not religion. We have
not learned whether He has moved in
this matter or not. While he was
giving the Lord directions the Demo
cratic members rebuked him by near
ly all taking their seats.
The editor of the Bellefonte Press,
in imitation of the theatre saint, has
issued a proclamation calling upon his
loyal friends to save him and his es-
tablishmentfrom falling into the hands
of a "Copperhead sheriff" He says :
"our hairs stand on end What on
earth will become Of the fellows hair
when the original owner comes after
