Not from Andrew johnson, granting
universal pardon, but from f. Jordan,
the irrepressible chairman of the Radi-
cal State Committee, offering big red
flag to that county which shall give
the largest Radical gain on the vote of
last year. The idea is original, piquant,
brilliant; worthy of the discoverer
of one of Judge SharsW@od's boyish
speeches. We fancy we see the Radi-
Gals rushing frantically to the polls,
jostling, tumbling over each other, in
their eagerness to get the big flag.
Couldn't the chairman throw in a
drum and tin horn? But, we sup
pose the offer, as it stands, is enough to
tempt them to swallow the negro, ebo-
shius, wool and all. 1t is not prob
able, however, that Bedford county,
from latest accounts, will apply.
1t is now supposed that the chair
man is about to issue some appropriate
testimonial, privately, to that one
of the National Banks, which ''comes
down" with the largest amount for the
radical corruption fund ofthis fall. For
fear that the flag idea has exhausted
the resources of the chairman, we sug-
gest nickel medal, with some such de-
vice as the following: Pennsylvania,
supported by Railroad Monopoly, on
the one hand and Negro Suffrage on the
other, beckoning to Bribery, "persua-
sive maid''; while the genius of "Green-
backs" mounted on the car of Infia-
ton lin shape of paper balloonl hurls
his spear at the dragon of Specie Pay
Dae'1ts. On the reverse, a crowd of
PhiJ0delphia Negroes rushing to the
polls to vote for one of those Soldiers
whom the 'loyal men, forgot to nomi-
nate; while in the background, the leg
islative deck-hands at the State Capital
are disposing of the Pennsylvania arch
ives to noted "fence" near Harrisburg,
for waste paper.
Who bids for the medal and the
flag?

A SUDDEN CONVERSION.

Our friend Mr.. Jordan, the Radical
candidate for county Treasurer, has,
so far as we know, always been man
of temperate habits. This is, without
doubt, to his credit. But no sooner
was he nominated by the Radical con-
ventiOn, than he began strangely to
distrust himself. Suddenly he came to
the conclusion that in order to continue
to live a sober life, he must join the OF =
der of Good Templars. Now, be it
known that we object 10 no man sjoin-
ing that order, but it seems so queer
to us that it was necessary for SO eX-
emplary a man as Mr. Jordan TO be-
come Good Templar just after he was
nominated for Treasurer. Did he fear
the influence of ftheassociations thrown
around him by that nomination, or
was it something else that induced him
to 'put on the yoke ?''

TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNsYLVANIA

The Radicals attempt to evade the
practical issues of the canvass and to
delude you into the support of their
candidates.
They alone are accountable for the
prostration of your business interests.
They have deliberately sacrificed them
in order to place in the hands of South
ern Negroes, the balance of power in
the Republic and thus preserve their
own rule. More than two years have
passed since peace was restored, and
we still look in vain for increased pro-
ducts from the South to aid us in pay
ing the interest on our debt, and for
her prosperous customers to buy our
wooden, iron and other manufactures.
Instead of receiving aid to pay our
debt, we are taxed to maintain freed
mans bureau and standing army in
the South. Instead of prosperous Gus
toners to increase our trade, every
business interest languishes.
Radical mismanagement, a negro
policy, and Radical extravaganza,
weigh down our energies and fetter our

THE LATE ELECTIONS.

The radical newspapers are endeavor-
ing to give their followers some crumbs
ofcomfOrt over the California election.
There were divisions in the party, they
tell us. There was great apathy, and
nearly all their candidates were ar
rant rascals. We will not deny that
apathy and disgust have overcome their
party, not merely in California, but
everywhere else. Nor will we dispute
with our opponents about the charac-
ter oftheir candidates they know them
best. But, doubtless, they were as
good as the common run of them in
Pennsylvania. The explanation oftheir
defeat, however, is not quite satisfac-
tory. The Radical candidate for Gov
ernor in Connecticut was Gen. Jos.
Hawley, a gallant soldier, and one of
the most popular men in the State.
Last year he was elected, yet his defeat
this Spring is decisive. In Maine, too,
the radical candidate for Governor was
Gen. Chamberlain, another popular
soldier, who was elected, last year, by
upwards of twenty seven thousand.
This year he barely escapes defeat, and
the Democrats have made enormous
gains, swinging some seven counties
over to their side. The same ''apathy"
that caused defeat in California, it
seems, was at work in Maine and Con-
necticut, and will, without doubt, show
itself in the fall elections, still more
significantly. The simple fact is, that
the radical party is staggering under
the crushing weight Of its violent and
revolutionary legislation for the ex-
cluded States under its ignorant and
eXtravagant management of the pub
lie revenues; under the fragrant cor
ruptionS that have marked the course
ofits leaders in State and National leg
islation. Moderate men, everywhere,
have taken alarm, and will no longer
aid in swelling majority, which only
increases the arrogance and fury of the
party leaders. In October next, Penn
sylvania will give Radical faction its
coup de grace.

THE BEAUTY OF RECONSTRUCTION

At the time of the passage of that Sc
ries of arbitrary and unconstitutional
measures, which the Radicals pleasant
ly call reconstruction acts, it was earn
estly urged by the friends of civil lib
erty, that they gave too much power to
every slthaltern who had taste for eX-
ercising it. 1t was urged that it placed
the lives and liberties, the rights and
property, Ofevery citizen in the South,
at the mercy of any insolent military
official who might be employed in car
rying it into effect. But we were told
that the citizen who felt himself iniur-
ed, or oppressed, could appeal to the
District Commander. We have seen
the effect of an appeal, in the recent
North Carolina case, when a subaltern
interrupted the process of the Supreme
Court of the United States. Gen. Sick
les prOulptly IdlIneu lile arDlIrafy act
of his inferior, setting his own military
orders above the authority of the law,
and the DEGREES of its highest tribunals.
To carry an appeal from subordinate
to his district commander is only a SOL
emn farce, and is ofas much practical

HOW THE TICKET is TO BE VOTED.

Voters should bear in mind that un-
der recent legislation the manner of
voting has been changed. At the COM
ing election, the ticket will consist of
two slips, one labeled ".Judjcia1y"
(which word must be folded out) con-
tanning the ballot for Judge of the Su-
preme Court; another labeled County,"
(which word must also be folded Out)
containing the ballots for all the other
offices to be filled. The two should
then be tied together, and thus voted.

RADICAL THUNDER.

The Radical State Committee are cir
culating through the State, and en-
deavoring to place in the hands of
Democrats, a lying document, appeal
ing to the pecuniary interest of the
voter. We give it entire, and also
annex some comments upon it. Read
it and notice its falsehOodS:
FACTS FOR GOVERNMENT BONDHOLD-
ERS, AND THE HOLDERS OF
GREENBACKS.
Read. Renect.--and Hand TO Your Neigh.
In 1861, eleven States seeded; and
since then only twenty-three have been
represented in Congress, until the adj
mission of Tennessee in 1866.
All the United States BOnds-5-20's,
1905 and 10-40'S-all the greenbackS,
and all the National Banks, were crea-
ted by this Congress of tWenty-three
States.
President Johnson calls this an ''dS-
Sltnaed Congress" not legal.
His supporters and the Democrats call
IL a Nbtp tOfJICSoy tliiNA a. uS" I(Gty
Congress, and hence, not a I0,CfW Con-
greSs; and the great effort has been to
eject congressman in the North, and
admit enough from the rebel States to
enforce this pOijcy."
fla Congress, representing but tWen-
ty-three States, be not u bdlCJW Con-
gress, then every United States Bond,
and all our greenbacks, and National
Bank notes are worth nothing; because
an natd'VW Congress could not make
LdaCtW Bonds or LtarfW money.
The mad effort, SO recently made by
the rebels and their sympathiZers, to
destroy this Government 6y force Of
arms failed. Thus far, the attempt to
do the same thing through Congress,
has also failed, because OF the action OF
the loyal voters at the ballot-boX; and
the last effort at destruction is now be-
ing made THROUGH THE COURTS.
Witness the recent attempt by Dem
Ocratic lawyers to induce the Supreme
Court of the United States to issue an
injunction, multiplying the Reconstruc-
ton Laws of Congress in Mississippi,
Georgia, and other rebel States. Read
also the opinion of GEORGE SHARs-
WOOD, the Democratic nominee for
Judge of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania, in which he gravely denies
the constitutional power of Congress TO

Sometimes some WOuld-be very smart
people do some very stupid things.

neyS who forced a decision of the Court,
sustaining the law DISTINGUISHING De-
serters in the face of an electiOn.-In-
qssirer.
Wouldn't the truth have served
your purpose as well? The Court did
not Sustain" the DISTINGUISHING law,
but simply ruled that as no malice on
the part of Ritchey, the election Judge,
was proved by the plaintiff, the jury
must find for the defendant. The In
q,tirer would have people believe that
Judge King overruled not only the SUI
preme Court, but his own former decis-
ion. The law as settled by Judge King
himself and affirmed by the Supreme
Court, in Huber VS.. Reilly, is, that no So
called ''Deseyter" can be disfrdnchiSed
