What Can't Military Governor doP

A military governor, under the recon-
struction act, can
Suppress newspapers,
Silence lecturers,
Remove governors, judges, mayors, and
officers of State, generally.
Can exclude white aldermen and appoint
black in their places.
Can take possession of savings banks.
Can make laws and postpone the pay
ment of debts.
:. Can run down city,stocks and repudiate
city currency.
Can spend $500, 900 for registering black
voters, and refuse to register white ones.
Can abolish local taxes, and regulate tho
circulation Of papers.
Can settle the rates of wages, and the
price of comodiles Can disobey the Pres
ident and insult the Cabinet. They can
do all this and far more What they can't
do, no one has ventured to say.
1t would certainly be difficult task to
say what they cannot do, still we may ven.
ture to say what they can't be They can't
be decent. They can't be civil. They
can't be gentlemen. They can't be true
friends Of arepublicap government. They
can't be honest. They can't be christians
a bit more than political preachers can.

Fred Douglas on the Situation.

Having given our readers the views o
Thad. Stevens, Ben. Wade, ETC., our apollo
gy for introducing Fred. Douglas must be
that he is quite as good as the rest of hi:
party. We extract from tho New York
correspondence of the Louisville Demo
crat
Somebody yesterday asked Fred. Doug
las (negro) why he didn't 90 down South
along with the rest of the Republican ora
tors, to help enlighten the minds of the
freedmen as 10 their political duties, etc.
Because" said Fred, 81 want to train
alone. / want to wait till those mean
whites get through with their talk, and
then will begin. / notice that in all the
speeches that Wilson, Kelly, and the rest
of them have been making to the colored
folks at Richmond, Mobile, New Orleans,
and other places, nothing is ever said
about giving the colored men Vice Pres
ident of their own color. But they've got
to make that concession to US, and that's
just what I'm going down South to tell
our folks to insist upon"
"But, Fred, do you think the Jacobin
managers will accede to that arrange
ment 2" .... "
al have no doubt of It at all, sar; none
at all. Wendell Phillips and Horace
Greeley say they are in favor of it. and
what they say has got to be done. They
are the men who run the republican party,
along with old Ben. Butler, and whoever
would run with that party must do what
they say"
"But do you think, if they nominate
grant for President, that Grant will consent
to have darkey on the same ticket as
Vice?
"Don't think anything about it, sar.-
Gran. only counts one. 1t is not for Grant
nor any other man,to dictate to the people.
We are the people, Grant is but one Of
our servants, sar. If he doesn't like his
company, let him resign. Plenty of others,
sar, ready to take his place; plenty Of
others, sar T.
"But, even if they nominate a darkey
for Vice President, what good will it do
you OF your race
"Don't talk foolish, child. 1t will do US
a heap Of good. In de fust place, it will
make colored man President of the SEN
ate. and then as the President may die, he
may be President of the United States
That's my plan of reconstruction, sar and
until It is adopted and made successful, sar,
the Union will never be restored, and the
country will never have peace"
"There were other queries about to be
submitted to the distinguished imam and
brother" but just at that moment Rev. DR..
Cheever came along, and after Introducing
Fred. to blushing damsel (who was hang
ing lovingly on his army the whole party
vanished in the direction Of the Office ofthe
Anti-Slavery Standard.

The Natural Result of Mongrensm.

Jamaica, once the glory of Exeter Hall,
and "moral ideaism," furnishes abundant
evidence of what may be expected in this
country, should the people submit to the
domination of fmongrelists. A private let
ter, partly printed in the Pail Mall Ga
zette, says that. tho writer, who is an old
resident, "never knew Jamaica in such q
state of dependency. None of the better
classes-no educated person-would re-
main if they could manage to get away
The country is deeply in debt, no effort is
made to develop her resources, and taxa
ton is largely increased" Regret is ex.
pressed that the colonists no longer possess
anything like self-government." The
Parish of St. Anna, that in 1910 contained
thirty sugar estates, now has thirteen, and
of these several are on the poiLt of aban-
donment. Of fify-three coffee properties,
there are only four remaining. There is
no market for horses, mules, and cattle
The principle crop, pimento, promishes to
perish uDgathered. -.. -r..
Jamaica has been RECONSTRUCTED" 1t
presents fair picture of the point to which
Radicalism is endeavoring to reduce our
once wealthy and thriving Southern States.

Change of Name--and whyP

We do not deem it necessary to inform
the readers of the Democrat that a change
has been made in its size and general ap.
pearance as well as in the title or heading
These facts must be apparent to all. The
paper speaks for itself. 1t is, perhaps,
due to our friends that we should furnish
some explanation of the change made in
the heading or title of the Democrat.
The old title The North Branch DEM
oerst was given the paper many years ago,
when the subject of canal Improvements on
the North Branch of the Susquehanna
river, from Pittston to the State line was
an exciting topic in this and Bradford
Counties, through which this canal exten-
sion passed. The name at that time gave
the paper more specific local designation
than at present. The term North Branch,
as understood IN this state now, applies
not to the canal extension. but to the River,
from Northumberland, where it forms a
Junction with the West Branch, to Athens,
or Toga point. A name applicable to so
extensive region, failed to sufficiently
localize our paper. Hence, for the pur-
pose of fixing its locality, it was almost in
variably called by papers and persons
abroad, the Tankhanaock Democrat.
The clasic, aboriginal name, "Wyoming"
has been given our County. Within its
borders, occurred many ofthe stirring in
cidents that have rendered the name his
toric. Here lived many of those old Wy
oming settlers, whose early trials and suf-
ferings in the Wyoming valley, have pass
ed into history.
We think the name, Wyoming Demo-
crat, an appropriate one, for these and 9th.
er reasons. Besides, it give our paper
local habitation, as well as-a name.

The Union Pacific Railroad.
OPEN 425 MIL Es,

A few weeks since we noticed the open.
ing of the Union Pacific Railroad to
vuI~sUuIE L, or r.,.I~~ .unnE ~ IInnaha, and
now We have to report its completion TO
Grow Greek, point as miles further west
making total of 425 miles. Fifty miles
Of track in addition are graded ready for
the iron, and there is no doubt of the COM
pletion of the road to the base OF the Rocky
Mountains early in the Fall. The Compa-
ny are confident that the whole line to the
Pacific will be open for business in 1870.
The Indians have annoyed the surveying
parties and tie cutters, who are many hun
dred miles in advance of the work but
they have wholesome fear Of the popula-
ton that railroad carries with it, and all
trains run without interruption.
The business of the Company has been
most fattering. The earnings for the
quarter ending August lst, were about
100000; but as the report of the last
week in July has not been received, the
exact fraction cannot be given. These
earnings accrued from operating an aver
age of not more than $50 miles of road,
and after deductlng operating expenses,
the balance is far in excess of the interest
obligations of the Company on the amount
Of bonds they can issue on that distance
1t should be remembered that this result is
from a ray business alone, through new
country, and is not to be compared with
the vast through business that must follow
the opening Of the whole line to the Pacif-
ic. The Success of the enterprise seems
TO be thoroughly assured, and we can see
no reason why the First Mortgage Bonds
are not entitled to rank among the best
securities. The daily sales are now so
large, that the Company already entertain
the. idea of advancing the price.

ment OF such an article as the following
from the Salem, Massachusetts,, Journal :;
"The nomination of Judge Williams for
Supreme Court in Pennsylvania, BY the
Radical Republicans, is another acknowl-
edgement on the part of the stolid Dutch
elements Of the superiority of New Eng
land men. Judge Williams is a native
of Connecticut, and received bis early
training in the higher-law doctrines of our
section. We have been reliably informed
that he has in no-wisc apostatized from
the faith of his fathers or the true principle
governing the rights of man, but that he
steadfastly retains his affection for New
England institutions. Those are the sort
of men whom we love to see elevated to
power in the Dutch Middle States and
over the half-civilized people of the West.
They constitute the ark of safety foI!the
material interests of our section. and in no
instance. where money can effect anything,
should the people of New England be
sparing of their means in securing the
nomination and election of such men as
Judge Williams. .... .-.
Pennsylvania--poor ignorant, stupid
old Dutch State-regardlese of the kissing
Of copperheads, is now pretty thoroughly
"Yankeeized." Thaddeus Stevens, ma
tive of Vermont and man true to his
faith, holds the political elements of the
State in tho hollow of his hand, and on a
fair ballot of the rank and file Of the party,
would have been made United States
Senator, The State Superintendent Of
Common schools is by birth and education
a New Highlander, and it is fair to presume
that the next crop Of Dutch voters will be
as completely "Yapkeeized" as it is posi-
BILE to effect out of such unpromisiug mate
rial. We understand, also, that each an
nual legislature is largely composed of
New England men, and that more one.half
the present delegation in Congress are ma
tivcs of our section, but Of that we are not
quite positive. Taking matters on the
whole, the outlook in Pennsylvania is as
favorable for New England ideas and su-
premacy as could be wished"
