PLAIN TALK.

We have always maintained that the
theory of State Sovereignty, as an
nounced by Southern leaders, was ruin
Gus. We have also insisted that the
Capitalization theory of extreme Radi-
calls is precisely as dangerous. 1t be-
hooves every patriotic journal to take
strong ground against the Capitalization
policy Of the extremists. Power should
be difused among the people through
the agency Of the State governments,
and We must see to it that the proper
powers Of the States are not consolida-
ted in the Federal Government. Letus
not be understood rs intoxicating the
theory that o State, or any number OF
States, can nullify q law of Congress, or
get out of the Union, except by the mode
laid down in the Constitution. No. In
their sphere, the States must legislate
u~ndisturbed. In its sphere, the Federal
government must do the same. h
New York Erening Post, q leading Re-
publican paper, after speaking of the
extraordinary powers assumed during
the war, by the general government,
and the necessity of d~iscardiug them in
time, Of peace, speaks our mind exactly
when it says:
"The independence and rights of the
States are as absolutely essential to its
harmonious working as the supremacy,
in certain respects, of the Federal power.
Without the independence OF the States,
indeed, there would be no security for
individual rights. Popular liberty is
only upheld and made practicable by
local self-government. Forty millions
of people, which there o o will be
within our borders, cannot be controlled
from q single center-or will be con-
trolled as France is controlled, by sue
cessive revolutionary ~juntGs, ending in
the strong man with the sword. Call
such q government by what name you
i ll-empirs, monarchy, republic or
COMMONWEALTH is ever at heart the
same d~espotism. II cannot be other
wise. A power SO inordiuate as that
which would be required to govern the
United States from Maine to Texas, from
Sitka to Florida, with their manifold,
intricate, diverse and cumbersome in
t~erests, could only be welded on the
military principle. All civic life would
perish in it, either run into anarchy, or
be crushed by the iron hand Of force.
These, then, are the great purposes
which We, as Americans and patriots
should keep in view, in our support Of
parties, in our determination Of policies,
in our plans of reconstruction first,
human equality, as the sole and su'
preme ESD of all governments, as the
very reason for the being of all govern
msnts ; and, second, State rights, local
independence, the dispersion of power
as the surest and best MEANS to that end
or as the only method Of reconstruct
ing a stable authority and union with
liberty and progress"

tHE Freeduen's Bureau expires next

wii not recommend its continuance il
the re~eonssruetion of the South is ac-
complished by that period. but will
suggest a comprehensive system of edu.
cation for the colored youth Of thu
South. by the establishment of ex,en.;v.
normal schools at Washington to edu.
cate colored teachers. At the same
time it should not be forgotten that the
white race at the South need education
equally as much as the blacks. If we
can eradicate the virus of slavery from
tho white mans head and heart, and
loyalize tho unrepeutant rebels of the
same section, it will be doing o great
work for the benefit Of the black man.

The REPoRTs.-It is said that the
heads of Departments at Washington
are busily preparing their reports to
Congress. The presumption must be
that they intend to present them at or
after the first Monday Of December.
Congress meets on the 25th of Noyem-
Der, and in a week it will enter upon
the regular session. The Reports and
the Presidents Message will probably
be reserved until that, time. The Presi-
dent will certainly not scnd in a message
in November, and, as it is very neces-
sary in acting with a person of Mr..
Johnson's temperament to be courteous
to do nothing that will. offend, the Sec
retaries will guard themselves against
the mistakes Of too expeditiously" recog-
nizing the authority Of "the %unconsti-
tutional body which hangs on the verge

WE have more than once observed that
nothing is more apt to make radical par
tisans conservative and moderate than
success at nm election, unless it is a de.
feat. Now that Ohio has rejected negro
suffrage and other radicalisms, the
friends of Judge Chase have discovered
that he never was a Radical in any sense
of the word. He was for universal ne
gro suffrage at the South, it is true, but
never ut the North. He never did favor
impeachment, and hc thinks that great
harm has been done by the wild threats
and frcnzied talk of a good many Of the
Republican lcaders-such, we presume.
as Wade, Chandler and others. We are
very glad to find that Judge Chase is SO
sound and conservative a statesman.
If n little moro pains had been taken to
have had this understood o little earlier,
Ohio might havo voted the other way

PETER CoorER, ESQ.,, Chairman of the
Citizens Association. Of New York,
gives it as his belief that the City Cham
berlain makes, out of the city. funds, one
hundred and seventy thousand dollars
per aunum Z; this, too, independent Of
salary, which is large. Such an exhibit
of the emoluments of a public officer
naturally directs attention to officers
holding like position, in other cities
and States. It would appear from Mr..
Coopor's statement, that the funds of
the city of New York are placed on de-
posit by the Chamberlain, at fixed rates,
the proceeds of which be appropriates
to himself; and it is estimated that he
realizes from this source one hundred
and seventy thousand dollars per annum.

A MUcHLY MARRYING WoMAs.-Last
Winter q wealthy Cuban conceived On
c%xtravagant passion for quite q pretty
young woman dancing at n loading
Broadway thcater ; wrote to her, and
solicited an interview. He poured his
passion out in burning words, and Of
fercd to pour out his gold as freely; but
shet informed him, as the celebrated
English actress did her opulent admirer
that tho way to her bedchamber led
through tho church. He sought to
shake her resolution, but in vain, and,
in despair Of possessing her otherwise,
he made her his wife. He tired of her
in II few weeks, and as his relations
were violently opposed to such an ALI
anco, he soon deserted her and returned
to Havana. Too proud to follow him,
she went back to the stage, and during
the month of May n clerk in a CONNER
cial house down town fell in love with
her, and weat through the same expe-
rience as the Spaniard. Hymen before
Venus for her, and so the young fellow,
with n degree of dishonor characteristic
of an older head and o cooler heart, en-
trapped her into a false marriage. His
employer accidentally discovered the
deception, became interested in his
pretty danscusc, and apprised her Of his
clerks villainy, assuring her that he
should be compelled to wed her, if she
desired it, by process of law. Esmeralda
declined to have snything moro to do
with the rogue, aud released him I'M
c%onditionally. The merchant was so
much struck with the woman's spirit
and beauty that although no knew she
had twice consented to marry in cold
blood, he proposed matrimony to her,
and for the third time she accepted.
Certain legal steps arc necessary before
the last nuptials a be contaminated /;
but tho commercial lover is desperately
enamored of her, and has already placed
her in q handsome mansion, and made
her q deed of the property, with $4,000
| pin money. His frieuds are indignant,
and infer that he is infatuated. But he
swears he loves her, and will marry her
as soon as practicable. She says she
is deeply attached to him for his kind
ness to and sympathy with her, and is
now living q very quiet and exemplary
life. Her fancee is nearly forty, and
has long been sought as n husband in
modish circles, but to no purpose. His
liver seems to have struck now ; and
there is little doubt he will wed Esmc-
ralda this Winter, and snap his fingers
at comment and criticism. She will

Times relates an incident that illustrates
the nervous susceptibility of yellow
fever patients. On Saturday night Mr..
F. was considered by his physicians rs
out of danger, and was told that he
could have his clothes changed on Sun
day morning. AT a late hour in tho
night q gulf steamer announced her arri-
val, as usual, by firing q gun, and the
report gave the patient a nervous shock
which caused him to expire in the course
of five minutes. "That," said he, sis

ance proved prophetic. He turned over

SALT LICK, Sept 2, 1867.
Editor Republican On Friday last,
August 30th, the body of Mr.. Samuel
Peffiey was discovered, dead, on the
turnpike leading from Snow Shoe to
Kartbaus. The deceased was in the
employ of Messrs McCloskey& Potter,
and was returning from Bellefonte
with load of lime 1t is supposed
that a sudden jerk produced by the
wheels sinking into one of the many
deep holes in the road, caused him to
fall from the wagon. The deceased
was about sixty years of age, strictly
temperate, and respected by all that
knew him.
Thus fellow man has been prema-
;urely brought to the end of life, leav-
ing a weeping widow to mourn his
loss, by the criminal neglect TO repair
tie public road. We hope that this
event will stimulate some one to see
that the road-which is disgrace to
sny neighborhood-be repaired. ~
