The publication OF this fact will be
hailed with delight in all parts Of the
land. Men will read the announce
ment rs they do the bulletin which
chronicles a peace, or the termination
of pcstilencc II will operate upon
business as the opening of spring does
upon vegetation, causing life aud ami
nation to run through all branches and
giving hope 20 those who had almost
yielded 20 despair, and abandoned the
contest. All the material interests of
the nation will be strengthened by the
absence of the mad and reckless agita-
tors from the National Capitol. Whilst
Congress was in session, with Sumner
and Stevens anG Ashley and Butler
and Boutwell, running the machine,
nothing was safe. They had negro on
the brain, and could see nothing else.
To them the peace Of the nation, the
unity of the States, the adjustment OF
the tariff, the settlement OF the cur
rency question, were minor and unim-
portant duties when compared with
the elevation of the negro--the per-
petuity of Rule in the land. Rival as
pirants for the Presidency were also
operating for position in view of the
coming contest for that office. The
friends of Chase were intriguing and
| scheming in one direction; those OF
Colfax were contemplating, while
Butler had an eye upon the White
House, and was ready TO break alance
with the champions of any Of the can
didates in or out Of the House. The
morale of the Fortieth Congress has
been most disgraceful Each day wit
messed some passage of personal
character between the leaders of the
Radical party, and the closing scenes
were fitting finale for the drama o.
passion, prejudice, trea son and infdel
ity TO all the best interests Of the ma
tion which had been enacted upon the
grand theatre of the nation by the
members of the Congress about sepa
rating-Age.

a Proclamation.

In view Of the fact that the Rump
Senate was packing its trunks for a
hreside visit, tho President was on Sat
urday, compelled TO issue the follow
ing, copy of which was delivered to
each Senator, because of the large
number of vacancies now existing in
civil offices, which are being admins
tered by clerks without the usual Sc
curity to the government:
WHEREAS, Objects Of interest to the
United States require that the Senate
should be convened at II o'clock on
Monday, the first day of April next,
to receive and act upon such commu.
nications as may be made to it on the
part of the Executive; now, there
fore, |, Andrew Johnson, President of
the United States, have considered it
to be my duty to issue this, my proc
lamation, declaring that an extraordi-
nary occasion requires the Senate OF
the United States to convene for the
transaction of business at the Capitol,
in the city of Washington, on Mon
day, the first day of April next, at II
o'clock on that day Of which all who

members of that body are hereby re
quired 70 take notice.
Given under my hand and seal oi

Lord 1867, and of the independence
of the United States of America the
ninety-tirst year.

A NEw TREATY.-Tbe President on
Saturday communicated to the Senate,
in Executive session, treaty with
Russia, by which that power surred-
crs to the United States its sovereign
ty over all Russian America and ada
cent islands. 1t especially includes
the strip 400 miles wide, which ex-
tends down the coast, thus nearly ex-
cluding British America from the
Ocean. The treaty was laid on the
table, and will be taken up next week
The ccssion excites intense interest.
Influential parties regard il as signif-
cant of Russian policy in view of i'm
pending European complications on
the Eastern question. Russia cedes
her American territory for the same
reasons that induced Napoleon TO sell
Louisiana. In the event Of war
Russia would probably loose this ter
ritory, and by parting with It the Gar
secures the friendship of our Govern
ment. The English representative is
deeply chagrined, and il IS said Sir
Fredrick Bruce will telegraph TO Earl
Derby for instructions TO protest
against its acceptance by our Govern
ment. This acquisition more than
doubles the United States coast on
the Pacific.

HARD TO PLEAsE-The President is
trying his best to please the loyal
Bumpers, but Notwithstanding his pa
thence and diligence he fails to satisfy
them. Some time ago he sent in the
name of NJ A. Frank, Esq, of this
place, for Assessor, but he was cast
overheard Of his loyalty and self
sacrificing patriotism there could be
no doubt, as he had exhibited both
muchly during and since the war, but
he was nevertheless rejected. After
his rejection it was given out that II

sent in he would be confirmed. The
friends of Captain John S. McKiernan
sent his name to the President, and he
at once transmitted it TO the Rump
Senate, but he has also been rejected,

union, he would of course 60 through

The infamy of the Rump Congress
is daily advertised in their own acts
Although, by an act passed in 1862,
and still unrepealed, the House is to
be composed of PAL members, yet on
the day of adjournment the vote stood
yeas SO, nays 45. Thus showing the
fact that SO Bumpers now run what
was once honored and recognized as
the American Congress. What farce
the Constitution becomes when the
country is controlled by dcmagogues
and knaves-53 Buffers now make
the laws for thirty-five million christ
ian subjects How are you, Poland :
Loyalty works wonders among fools

How 1T WoRKs.-Cameron's Legis-
lature, in February, passed a law ma
king it a penal offence upon all rail-
roads and their officials for refusing
negroes seats and berths in the cars
with white people. Several conduc-
tors in Philadelphia have already been
arrested for violating this law in the
following manner: On Wednesday
last as n street ear was passing down
Fourth street crammed full with white
people. the conductor was accosted
by two negro wenehes and ordered to
stop his car to let them on; but being
too full he passed on. The colored
"sisters" at once repaired TO an Alder
mans office, secured a warrant, had
him arrested, and he had to enter
bail in the sum Of $500 for his appear
ance at the next term Of court. Hun.
dreds Of white ladies are daily treated
in this manner, yet no one is arrested
Loyalty and Sambo are ahead.

Much TRoUBLE.-The loyalists are
paying great attention to the "trage-
dies in Schuylkill county" because a
majority of the citizens of that county
vote the Democratic ticket But sim
liar "tragedies" committed in the 10y
al cities Of Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
elsewhere, never disturbs their equi-
librium. These crimes are all tracea-
BILE to the four years Of loyal educa-
ton given to several millions of our
population, by the Leaguers. The
party that gave the scoundrel the
chance TO enlist, take the bounty, and
desert eight times, and rob and muir
der occasionally, should never up
braid others for multiplying the evils
that are spreading over the land.

CHANGE OF TuNE.-A loyal exchange
says: "Mr. Banks resolution in the
House of Representatives, commit
ting Congress 10 an expression OF
sympathy with the people of Ireland
and Gambia, in all their just efforts to
maintain the independence of States,
does not seem TO meet with special
favor. The fact is the people of the
North hold somewhat different views
on the subject of insurrection and re-
bellion to those which prevailed among
them previous to our own civil wal" "

to stir up rebellion in other countries,
previous to the late war, than the

LOOK OUr-It will be observed by
those who pay some attention TO the
subject, that Governor Geary is bccom-
ing little Johnsonian in his State
habits, especially in the veto line. lie
has vetoed a large number of bills this
session, but the Legislature, in imita-
ton Of the Washington Rump, last
week passed the railroad bill over his
veto. But upon the school-boy prin.
ciple, the parties fought, compromised
got up a new bill, passed it, and the
Governor signed it, and all's well here
after-that ends well.

A DIsoovERY.-Governor Geary's

of the railroad bill, and setting forth
the virtue, wisdom, and unbounded

also says that Pennsylvania is blessed
with an "honest Governor, whose
guiding motto is "virtue, liberty, and
independence" Thisis a terrible load

SHOCKING MURDER.-The Wheeling
IRteliigenccr of Saturday gives the fol

and swift and terrible retribution, re-

"a fact that became known in the
neighborhood. On Wednesday last
he went in company with son TO
New Lisbon, the county town, some
fifteen miles distant, TO deposit this
money in bank, leaving a wife and
daughter at home. They arrived too
late TO get in the bank, and went to a
hotel TO stay over night. Early in
the night the young man awoke in
terror and told his father that his
mother had her throat cut. The son
prevailed on the father to return nome
Immediately. Approaching their
house, they were surprised tosec a light
in the windows, and approaching eau
tiously and looking in they were hor-
ror stricken TO see the mother lying
on the floor weltering in blood. Seper-
ating, one went TO the front and the
other to the rear door, when just as
they were about TO enter, two persons
attempted 10 escape, one from each
door, and were shot down almost sim
ultaneously, by the father and son.
A third person still in the house, up
stairs, leaped out of one OF the upper
windows, and was also shot almost as
soon as he touched the ground. On
entering the house and proceeding to
an other room, the father and son
were still more Mortified TO find the
daughter lying also stark and dead,
and covered with blood. Whether
all three of the murderers were killed
outright or not our informant could
not say.
