Yes, where is JEFF. Davis? What
has become of the arch-traitor? We
see his name mentioned but rarely in
Radical newspapers. Congress, too,
seems to have forgotten him. As for
Chief Justice Chase, we doubt whether
he is at this moment cognizant of the
fact that there is prisoner by that
name, within the jurisdiction Of his
Court, waiting to be tried for the crime
of High Treason. Come, oh! ye slum-
brous watch-dogs of loyalty, awake I!
arouse! jeff. Davis remains unhung!

THE TIDE is TURNING:
Great Democratic victory!
The Reading Election!
A Democratic Mayor. Treasurer. Auditor.
Constable, Council. DC, &c.

An election for city officers has Just
been held at Reading, which has result
ted in the success of the Democratic
candidates by overwhelming majOri-
ties. Last fall Geary had a majority of
Is over Clymer, in that city. Now the
Democrats carry it by majorities rang
ing from 325 to upwards 600. Reading,
although thecounty seat of Berks coun-
ty, has never been a Democratic city.
Occasionally some Democrat, by virtue
of his personal popularity, succeeded
in being elected to some municipal of
fee in the city, but the opponents of
the Democracy nearly always carried
it. The present result shows large
Democratic gain, and is an unerring
index to the political change now going
on among the people. Let the Demo
Gratis of Bedford county initiate their
brothers of Reading, and organize for
victory.

A clergyman has published a

world that the mysterious place called
"Hell," is just four thousand miles
down from the surface of eearth, and
that the least spark fromit thrown into

and set the world in blaze. What
nonsense.
The value of quartermasters' sur

Radical newspapers being now en-
gagged in Scraping together accounts of
all the crimes committed in the South,
and in manufacturing stories when
truth fails, the H0r{d shows that, by
the last census, Massachusetts had II,
700 convictions of crime for ,23l 900
population, which is one convict to one
hundred citizens; whilst Alabama had
only 179 convictions to 964, 1000 popula-
ton, or one conviction for $500 people.
1t is rather a cool business for Jack
Hamilton's party to organize them
selves intoaquasi Congress at Washing

national Legislature. These fellows

then to the Confederacy, were a mean
set of scape-goats at all times, from the

Is it not astonishing that it should
be necessary, in the year eighteen hun

floor of Congress those peculiar rights
of a freeman, the jury trial and the
writ of ha6eas corpus, against the pro-
posed action Of the majority Of the rep

The Bankrupt bill has passed the
Senate and is now in the House, where
it has been considerably amended. 1t
may finally pass both Houses, but its
fate at this late period Of the session is
very doubtful. 1t is said that nearly
every lawyer in Congress is opposed to
its passage. 1t will deprive them of

THE NEGRO IN OUR COURTS.

We refer the public to the proceed
ings of the criminal courts of this coun-
ty, and ask that it be noted how eX-
tensively the few hundred colored peO-
pie in this neighbOrhOol figure in the
calendar of crime. During the late ses-
sion of court, some four days of the six
during which the court sat, were taken
up by the Quarter Sessions in trying
colored people. We do not mention
this for the purpose of degrading our
colored folks in the public estimation.
We have not the slightest feeling of
animosity toward the unfortunate At
rican, but would gladly better his con-
dition, were it in our power to do so.
But il is due to the community in which
these col0red people live, and it is due
to the Taxpayer who foots the bill Of
expenses in these trials, that the cause
of the frequent appearance Of the color
ed man in our criminal courts, be ascer-
tanned and understood. We are not in
clined to attribute to the negro any pc
culiar inherent quality of evil which
prompts him to the commission of
crime. We choose rather to believe
that his being pampered and putfed and
petted by the demagogues who expect
to make him voter, is at the bottom
has been taught to believe that he is
Just "as good" as the white man, and,
inflated with the idea that white men
acknowledge this to be the case, it is
easy for him to imagine himself just
"as good" as WhHe mems IalCS. Reas-
oning thus, he comes to the conclusion
that the law ought not to stand in his
way, and the result is that he ends his
career in the penitentiary, or on the
scaffold. Hence we do not hold the
cOlored man as blameabIe in the premi-
ses as those white men who fill his
head with false notions of social and
political equality and thus transform
him from quiet and unObtrusive cit
izen into the most impudent and re-
vengeful of rufians. Although no adj
vocate of the socialism which tick
les the fancy of some of the Afri-
can people, that catholic love of hu-
manity which every Christian man
must feel, warns our heart with pity
for their misfortunes. Therefore, we
say to them, beware of these false
guides, whose doctrines lead you into
practices that will cause you to end
your days in misery and shame. AS
for the taxpayers of the country, we
have only to say, if they relish the pay
ment of bills for the trial and impris-
onment of colored criminals, they can
have their desire fullygratitied by con-
tinuing to approve the course of the
public men who are constantly produ-
cling discomfort among the negroes by
inducing them to believe that they are
just ''as good" as the whites.

the settlement of such difficulties, but
that time and that place is not at the
