the .saftonaI Robbers.

We have repeatedly called the at
tention Of taxpayers to the fact, that
under the garb Of "loyal,y' and 70
construction, they were being robbed
of millions of dollars by the Black
Republican pets, who infcst and OBJ
struet every avenue OF trade and com
morcc. In this charge we are ably
and emphaticably sustained by tho
valorous, modest and paytriotic Clerk
of the Rump Senate, Col. JOHN W.
Forney. In the issue Of the Phila-
delphia Press of the 7th instant, with
out any prompting or valuable con-
sideration furnished him on our part,
he voluntarily enters the following
confession. Hear him, in the agony
of his loyal soul, denouncing his
brethren. This is no "Copperhead
lie" but unadulterated Black Repub-
lican gospel. Read it:
at Is believed that the collection Of the United
States revenue is costly beyond all example Not
alone is this caused by the employment Of an inn
mensc number of highly paid officials, whose name
is Legion but the losses which fall upon the public
treasury through their neglect, incapacty, cor
rupton II is estimated that, " the tax Of 81 per
gallon were actually levied. as ii ought to be- upon
all the whisky made in the United States, at least
another 0,OO0O 600 would fall every year into the
public treasury There il no use in denying this,
for the fact Is obvious"
Here we have, by accident, no doubt,
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth-and that, too, from an
undoubted 'loyar' source. Not only
are the people robbed of millions of
dollars annually by Black Republican
offico-holders in the shape of salaries,
but this oracle of disunion gospel actu-
ally coniesses that the same men per-
petrate a robbery of one hundred mil
lion dollars annually, in the way of
plunder.
This confession should increase the
conscience fund = because when one
of the @bosses" develops himself to the
effect that he and others have plum
dered the Treasury Of hundreds of
millions, there is no use in the "hands"
trying 10 conceal the robbery any
longer.
Open and free as this confession is,
it is doubtful whether people Of the
loyal persuasion can be made to be-
lieve that Forney tells the truth.
However, they will criminate them
selves if they continue to vote for and
keep in authority those confessed
criminals. How long would any bust
ness man keep an agent in his employ
should he confess to having robbed
him of one hundred dollars Yet here
is confession from high Federal
ofiice-holder TO the effect that he and
his eonfederates have not only robbed
their employers of one hundred dollars,
but hundreds of miiiionsi Is there
any portion of the Prophet Jeremiah
more truel Then, why should we
heed itless, especially those controlled
by "grand moral IDEAS"

a Conspirntor Confesses.

Sanford Conover, alias Charles A.
Dunham-Jo Holt's celebrated wit
ness, who is now serving a term in the
Albany penitentiary for peuury-has
"blowed" on his confederates. He has,
through his wife, sent detailed
statement to the President, and find
ing its way to the Attorney Generals
Office, that officer, to expose the con-
spiracy, has published the papers.
The head Of the "Bureau of Military
Justice" and the suborner Of witnesses,
Jo. Holt, the great impcacher, Ashley,
Beast Butler, and an Ohio ex-Con-
gresham named Riddle, conspired and
eoniederated with the said Conover,
while in Jail at Washington, to the
effect that if be would procure three
or four respectable men who would
go before the Impeachment Commit
tee and swear strong enough to i'm
plicatc President johnson in the as
sassination of Lincoln, and assist in
making out clear case Of impeach-
ment, they would use their influence
with the President to secure his (Con-
over's) pardon. Conover, scoundrel as
he is, for the second time fulfilled his
part Of the contract, but Holt q Co.
failed in theirs; hence their poor tool
is rusticating in the ponitentiary,
from whence the epistle emenates,
exposing the most ungodly crimes
ever attempted in this country. Hol.,
Ashley d Co. spent much time with
Conover while he was in Jail at Wash
ington, pumping and perfecting their
conspiracy, and if we are not mista-
ken they will soon have an opportu-
nifty of spending some time with him
in the penitentiary, where they can
finish the work of impeachment.
This is certainly a great joke upon
these "loyal," godly Congressman.
We hope those clerical brethren who
have invested their religious stock in
%oyalty" will pray ferven,ly fcr their
wayward brethren, so that they may
be persuaded to return once more TO
the bosoms OF their families, and in
the future be controlled by "grsnd
moral ideas"

THE TwINs.-Simon Cameron S man
Friday, Gov. Geary, on learning that
the negroes had defeated the whites
in Tennessee, promptly ordered a sa-
Lutte to be fred from Capital Hill, at
Harrisburg, in honor Of the victory.
In referring to the matter, the Patriot
d Union asks: "Did Goary use his
own or the States money to pay the
expense of firing the salute, the
other day, in honor of the election

The PRESIDENT IN EARNEsT.-The
latest news from Washington is TO
the effect that President johnson has
suspended Secretary Stanton, mot
with a ropo, however, and ordered
him TO deliver all the books and
papers of his Office over to General
Grant, who has taken charge of the
War Department until General Steed-
man arrives. Stanton still remon.
strates, but he has got to 60 and
make his bed in the Radical disunion
bureau. We hope the President will
reclaim the dignity and power Of the

ANOTHER MURDERER SAFE.-It has
become very fashionable within the
past few years, for great criminals to
become converted a short time after
they land in a penitentiary, or just
before the rope is adjusted about their
neck. This may be all right, but too
much of a good thing is said to be as
bad as none at all. The murderer Of
Mrs Magilton, who is TO be hung in
Philadelphia, on the Goth, expresses
bis readiness at any time TO meet the
requirements of the law, aud says
that he would rather il had been to-
day than two weeks hence that he
was tired Of this world, and that it
had no charm for him, and the sooner
be could leave it the better. He also
repeated his intention to decline the
visits of clergymen, and that he was
perfectly assured Of forgiveness for all
he had ever done in this world. A
gentleman asked him as to his belief
in the return TO earth Of disembodied
spirits, and he replied that he was a
full believer in spiritualism, and was
satisfied that the ar was filed with
good and bad spirits. We fear be
will get mixed in with the bad ones.

ging woman out OF house of i'll

HERE THEY ARR A cotcmporary
is at a loss to find out what the "groat
moral ideas" Of the Mongrel party are.
They arc plain TO be seen. The first
"great moral idea is that white men
are no better than negroes; the sec
ond, that the right Of voting must be
taken from white men, and given TO
negroes; tho third, that, no matter
how many hundreds Of thousands Of
white men are murdered and white
women and children starved 10 death,
ifnegroes can only live without work /;
the fourth is, that negroes are the
"wards of the nation" while white
men are its slaves the fifh, that
white men are TO be taxed TO death to
keep negroes alive without work.
About three hundred and sixty simi-
lar notions make up the "great moral
ideas" Of the Mongrel party.

Gail Hamilton, the novelist, says of
Brownlow that "the recklessness, pro

are such, that il is difficult TO conceive
ofany combination of circumstances
which should make it the duty of any

leader in any measure affecting the

We have received, from the Office Of

apamphlet of 50pages, entitled 'fNotes
on the Situation by Hon B. II. Hill,

brother Of the two Confederate gen
erals of that name, whose rare abilities
we have frequently heard aeknow-
lodged. Mr. Hill was opposed TO Sc
cession, but when his State withdrew,
he went with it, and was elected one
of the Confederate Senators. He is
a statesman of commanding abilities,
and is one of the few in the South who
speak out and boldly denounce Mill.

upon being elected to the State Con-

PROVED TO BE CRAzY-The Chicago
Tribune, a very radical paper, recent
ly charged the great Abolition lumi-
nary, Gerritt Smith, with feigning
insanity and taking refuge in an in
sane asylum, to avoid the conse-
quences of his completely in the mur-
ders committed by Old John Brown,
Gerritt tbereupon brought a suit for
libel, and a lively time in Court was
anticipated. The matter has been
compromised, however, Gerritt pro-
ducing numerous dispositions of physi-
clans proving that he was really,
clearly and unequivocally insane.
Thereupon the Tribune retracts and
admits that he was actually crazy.
This is another line on the page of
Radical history. Ii would not be a
hard matter for other Radical leaders
to prove that they are as crazy as
ever Gerritt Smith was.

The Radical journals think IL is
very smart thing to speak Of the
forty or fifty thousand Democrats and
Conservatives who have just voted
against Republicanism in Kentucky,
as the 'Rebel" majority,--but they
may rest assured the day is gone by,
when that silly display of partisan
malice will deceive anybody. The
ruth is, there are no Rebels in this
country now, except the Radicals.
jeff Davis never was worse Rebel,
at heart, than--for example,--the
members Of the Rump Congress, who
voted the other day, to exclude Ken
lucky members of Congress from their
seats. The Rebels, in arms, fought to
dissolve the Union, but they did their
work openly and above-bOard, not
in the sneaking, hypocritical way
affected by the radical rebels, who,
with oulogies of the Union eternally
upon their lips, are exerting all their
energies to keep that Union divided.
Then there is the 1ribunes pet,
Parson Brownlow, what bigger or
meaner Rebel than he ever lived (?
Deyoting years and years of his i'll
spent life, before the war, TO the exc
Grafton of the yankees and the
"Yankee Abolitionists, when the con
flict which he helped to provoke com
menced, he changed his coat, came
over into the radical camp, and like
all apostates, be soon became q more
furious opponent of his former (seces-
sion) friends than the Yankees them
selves. Living and trading for awhile
on Northern sympathy, he has now
managed to juggle himself for the
second time into the Goyernorship of
the State of Tennessee, by a series Of
frauds and subterfuges, and acts of
petty despotism which the worst rebel
that ever breathed might seek to
emulate in vain No such man as
Brownlow, and no such party as that
which is supporting Brownlow, can
be the friends Of free government.
They are disgrace to the very name
of Republicanism At heart, we re-
peat it, they are rebcls, and very
mean rebels at that.-N Y. Express.
