HARRIsBURG, Pa, March 25, 1867.
The copperheads have been and are still
sorely exercised on account of the passage,
by the House, of a bill making it an offense
for railroad corporations within this Com
monwealth to make any distinction with
their passengers on account of race or color,
and furnishing said corporations and their
agents and employees for the commission of
such offense. 1t provides that any railroad
or railway corporation that shall exclude, or
allow. its employees to exclude from any
passenger car, and person or persons on ac-
count of color or race, Oh compel, or try to
compel such persons to occupy particular
part of any car set apart for the accom-
dation of passengers, shall render itself La
BILE to an action of debt to the aggrieved
person. in the sum of five hundred dollars.
Any agent, conductor or employee of a com
pany who shall exclude or refuse to carry
any person on account of color or race. in
any passenger car, or shall cut OF cause
car to be cut from train, on account of any
colored passengers therein, shall be guilty of
a misdeameanor and subject himself to n
fine of from 500, to $500, and from one to
three months Imprisonment. Some of the
copperheads open their eyes and express a
"holy horror at the idea of a darkey occu-
pying seat with a white man in a car, and
make all sorts of faces at the imaginary mix
ture of the races. If the cops will only keep
cool, the darkeys will take care of them
selves, behave themselves, more in their
proper sphere, and ask no'quarter from the
modern Democracy. No fear need be enter
tanned that the colored race will desire to
have their blood contaminated by mixture
with that of venomous reptiles the negroes
hate the copperheads as intensely as a raw
Irishman fears blacksnake. l would ad-
wise the Democracy of your county to "calm
their guilty fears and give themselves no
further trouble in regard to the bill in ques-
ton.

ional district of this State. The
views expressed by Judge Mercur
are sound, practical, and many of
them original The speech is a re-
view Of the situation, condition and
status of the rebel States. The posi-
tions are clearly and plainly defined,
the style bold and decided, yet couch
ed in the most courteous language,
with not word Of bomba5t in it.
Judge Mercur is clear thinker, q
ready and fluent debater, sound and

He is one of the most talented men
in this Commonwealth, and this
speech reflects great credit upon him
and the people he so ably represents
We have read many speeches upon
this subject, but are compelled to
say that this one of the very best
we have ever seen. 1t is calm, de-

or bombast, with not one word of
vindictiveness or bitterness and can.
not fail to forcibly impress itself up,

copperheads and rebels-indeed, it is
alleged, that he bargained to 0 over
upon consideration that he was elect
ed TO the coveted honor. But after
every thing had been arranged and
carried out, as per contract, viz the
State Legislature carried, and SWAMI
elected to the United States Senate,
it was discovered that the loyal Sem
ate of the United States might have
something to say to this SwANN's
taking a seat in that body. He ac-
cordingly induced his friend, and CO.
laborer, REvERDY JOHNSON, and 9th
ers, to canvass the sentiment of the
majority of the Senators, and it was
found that there would likely object
to so arrant a rebel as this SWAMI
was during the war, and who had
taken the oath Of allegiance to the
Southern Confederacy. Under these
circumstances, SWAMI backed down
from his Senatorial honors. He was
Governor for sure, and to be Senator
he must resign this position but to
resign, and then be thrown out of the
Senate, did not suit his fancy He
had written his resignation, and we
believe had sent it in, or at all events,
he had made arrangements with Lit.
Gov. Cox to take his place But sud-
denly recalls all this, and refuses to
give up the Governorship. This
previously offended Cox and his
friends. So SWAMI is Governor but
not Senator.
People generally, did not know
why this notorious trickster, who
had been figuring so desperately for
seat in the Senate, should decline
it when offered. Now, however,
when the truth comes out, wonder
ceases. Nothing has done us so
much good, for long time, as the
defeat of this traitor knave. Thank
a loyal Senate for this.
