WHITE SLAVERY.

There are twenty thousand white
men in Pennsylvania, some of them
Scared and manned soldiers of the late
war, who have been reduced to politi-
cal slavery by the tricks of the party in
power. These men have no voice in
the government of the State and are,
politically, just as much slaves as were
the negroes of the South five years ago.
There are about twenty-five thousand
of this class in the State of Ohio, and
the same proportion holds good in ev-
cry Northern State. In the South, in
Guiding Tennessee and Missouri, two
thirds of the white citizens are in the
same condition. 1t may, therefore, be
safely reckoned that obout OO,OOOWhlte
citizens of the United States, are at
present denied the rights of citizenship.
These figures can easily be substantial
ted. Is this freedom? Is this a Repu6-
lican government? Oh! We sticklers for
universal suffrage, yeshriekers for freed
ON, We howlers for Negro enfranchise-
ment, how this fact puts you to the
blush! Oh! we Radical hypocrites, ye
canting, whining, whimpering dema-
gogues, how this burning shame brands
itself upon your foreheads! "Ye make
the outside of the platter clean," but
We eat therefrom the filth of your own
foulness! Out upon you, knaves and
sWindlers!

AN honest confession is said to be good
for the soul. If this be true, the souls
(such as they are) of the editors of the
Inquirer, must have been greatly ben
Gifted by the following confession print
ed in their last weeks issue, in regard
to their candidates:
"Half the opposition voters in Bed
ford Borough are candidates for County
Treasurer, while the other half would
be if they thought there was any chance.
A wag was overheard to say the other
evening, within the hearing OF half a
score of the rivals, that he was deter
mined to support the man who would
give him the use of the greatest amount
of the public funds, in case Of election.
He was button-holed, it is said, by hall
the number present, assOon as the coast
was clear, and told they would "make
it all right" 1t is apparent some body
wants the use of the public funds"
That "sone6ody wants the use OF
the public funds" has been apparent
to us for sometime. The Inquirer s
party has made strenuous efforts, fol
the past ten years, to elect County
Treasurer, and it appears that the OBJ,
iect was to obtain ''the use of the public
funds" Well! we'll!

DEATH OF REV. DIR. .KRAUTH.-We
perform melancholy duty in record
ing the death of our venerable and es-
teemed fellow citizen, Rev. DIR. Chas.
P. Krauth, ST., which occurred at his
residence, on Baltimore street, at 6 o.
clock on Thursday evening last.
Though bodily feeble for several years,
his mental vigor ceased only with a
calm and peaceful termination of life.
His remains were inferred in Ever
Green Cemetery, on Saturday after
noon, after appropriate and impressive
services in Christ Church, including
addresses by Rev. DR.. Morris, of Balti-
more, and Rev. Drs. Hay and Baugher,
of this place. The funeral was attend
ed, in addition to the relatives and a
large concourse of citizens, by the Fac
ulties and Students of the College and
Seminary.-The stores and other places
of business were closed during the NOV
ing of the funeral cortege.
DIR. Krauth was born in Montgomery
county, Pa, and commenced his minis
try in Virginia, after which he was
transferred to Philadelphia, as Pastor
of st. Matthew's Church; in 1888 he
was elected Professor in the College
and Seminary here, and soon after be-
came President of the former, which
post he occupied seventeen years; re-
signing the Presidency few years ago,
he gave his whole time to his duties in
the Seminary, continuing up to his
death. In addition to his PROFESSIONAL
engagements, he was Pastor ofthe Col
lege Church five years. His age was a
little upwards of 20 years.
Thus has passed away one who long
held prominent place in the church
and the community. Highly cultiva-
ted, with great purity of character and
goodness of heart, DR.. Krauth was es-
teemed by all, and sinks into the grave
regretted by all. Peace to his ashes.-

EXIT "UNION PARTY"


Mr.. ]. B. Cessna, t'Chairman," has
issued call for the election of delegates
to County Convention to meet In Bed
ford, on the fourth day of July next,
''for the purpose of nominating coun-
ty ticket to be supported by the Rep't6-
Hcan voters of this county next fall"
The word "Union," Of" "Union Party" !"
does not occur at all in this call. The
election ofdelegates is to be confined
solely to the "Repu6lican UoteTs." The
reason for this change is easily account
ed for. Ten States and Ten Millions OF
People are erct,tded from the Union, by
the course of the late Congress, and the
political supporters of that body dare
no Lonqer call themselves the " Union Par
IT," During the war, many Demo-
Gratis were induced to vote against their
party, because the opposition professed
to be the "Union Party" OF course
such Democrats will be consistent and
leave the opposition since that party
has dropped the name of"Union," and
re-assumed that OF" "Republican" which
is now synonymous with Disunion.
Even the two Cessnas can hardly 'stOm-
ach" the name and principles of the
party whose enemies they were for so
many years. We shall now see who
among the Democrats that voted the
so-called "Union Ticket" during the
war, did so from pure motives. and who
among them did so because they were
''turn-coats" and wanted to go over to
the enemy. For, the issue is now no
longer between the Democrats and the
"Union Party" but between the DEM
ocrats and the Radical, Disunion ere
publicans."

DEADLY AFFRAY.-On Saturda

DEADLY AFFRAY.-On Saturday
night last about 10 o'clock, deadly af-
fray occurred in Wolfstown, between
two colored men named David Mont
gomery and VIM. Stoner. 1t appears
that the parties had fight during the
day, in which the latter named darkey
came off second best, where upon he
swore vengeance. About 10 O'Clock
P. M. he proceeded to Wolfstown, and,
finding Montgomery in a shop kept
by a colored man named Jones, drew a
revolver and fired several shots at him,
both of which took effect and are like
ly to prove fatal. Stoner was accom-
panied by several friends, at the time
of the shooting, one of whom, named
George Blue, has been arrested and Is
now in Jail. Stoner is still at large

IMPEACHMENT PLAYED OUT.

Some time in March last, we wrote
letter from Washington city, which
was published in the GAZETTE, in which
we assured our readers that the I'M
peachment scheme would fail. Our
prediction has been fully verified. The
Judiciary Committee of the lower
house of Congress, which had the mat
ter in charge, has just made report in
which it is set forth that there is no
cause for impeachment, but majority
of the committee pass vote of censure
upon the President. The mountain
has labored and brought forth misera-
bic, ridiculous little mouse. Oh! in
somnious Ashley! Oh! bOttled-up But

A YOUNG LADY returning to her

.WILL THEY ANSWER ?"

Some weeks ago we asked the editors
of the Bedford Inquirer, whether they
and their party are in favor of the es-
tablishment of Negro Suffrage in Penn
sylvania. Our question remains unan-
swered. Since the Radical party have
made the Negroes voters in the ten ex-
cluded States and in the District of Col
umbia, the question arises whether
that party has one set of principles for
the South and another for the North.
We, therefore, repeat our question.
Some of the Haquirer's party in this
neighborhOod, are anxious to hear from
it on this subject.

The above is said of Democratic
County Conventions. Wepresume the
writer of that paragraph must have had
Greely's denunciation of such fellows
as he, "narrow-minded block-heads," "
ringing in his ears, since he chose a
part of the Greedy phraseology. But
isn't that a pretty compliment to some
people. For instance, in 1861 and 1862,
John Cessna was one of these same
''block-heads," ;" and in 1862, J. w. Ling
enfelter, ESQ.,, was chairman of Coun-
ty Committee, and under his manage
ment some of these block-heads were
elected. Among the Democratic Coun-
ty Officers thus stigmatized, we notice
