W. c. SCHAEFFER, Sec'y,

The Republicans of Bedford county
are informed by the Bedford Inquirer
that 'Thaddeus Stevens has written a
letter in which he heartily endorses
General Grant for the Presidency"
We have no doubt Of it. Grant is "a
mere "nose of wax" and Stevens
knows that he and his fellow Radicals
can mould him as they please. Do
you want Thad. Stevens, or Charles
Sumner, or Fred. Douglass, for Presi-
dent? Ifso, vote for Useless Grant.

TIE May number Of the NORTHERN
MONTHLY is certainly not behind its
predecessors in the spirit and variety
of its contents. First on the roll stands
"The Greenback ra," by Gen. Francis
y. Walker, now managing editor of the
Springfield Republican. ItiSa Vividand
luminous picture of the mercantile and
social influence of our paper currency,
written in an exceedingly popular style
and full Of admirable illustrations from
the stOck-market, and the home circle.
Next comes "The Thief in the Night"
which still holds its terrible interest,
the magnifcence Of our language,
which has given Mrs. Prescott her ma
tiOnal fame. Easter Day at ROme,"
by DIR. Robson, peculiarly interesting
justnOW ,at least to those of the commun-
ion which recognizes this festal day"
Richard Sayles' "a Huguenot Family
is painfully interesting war sketch.
'"The Proper Use of Stimulants and
Narcotics" by DR., Beard, is an article
which we predict will excite very
warm discussion. 1t advocates the use
of wine, Whiskey, tobacco, opium etc,
and is very trenchant in its treatment
of the temperance theory. The NORTH
ERN prints the article without endOrs-
ing it. "The Red Knight is a pi-
quaint and exquisitechess story. Con
cerning Eccentric People," by Mr..
Manson, is a gossippy paper, full of an
ecdote and pleasant mOralizatiOns.-
Next we have translation of Victor
Hugo'S Claude GueuX," one of the
earliest writings of that great author,
which has already passed out of print
in France, and now for the first time APP
pears in English dress. 1t is notable
as containing the germ Of Jean Vatican,
the great character in Les A.iserables." F"
"The National Debt" is an able discuss
ion Of whether bonds are payable in
gold or greenbacks. 1t is reported to
have been written by an eminent New
York financier. In the Editorial De
partment we find the usual sparkling
variety. Altogether, the NORTHGRN
commences its second year superbly.

SOCTR CAROLINA.

The Palmetto State is "reconstruc-
ted" The registry of voters in South
Carolina shows that there are 10000
more Negroes registered than White
Men. OF fcourse, the Negroes being in
so largea majority, the State was car
ried for the Reconstruction "Constitu-
ton" and the Radical ticket. Wherev-
er the Negroes are largely in the as
cendapcy, the Radicals are successful,
butno where else. Think ofth State of
Marion, Moultrie and Horny, ruled by
Negroes! The Lieutenant Governor
elected on the Radical Ticket is as black
as jet. How do you like such doings,

THE Bedford Inquirer, through the
aid Of the Franklin Repository, has at
last discovered who is the elector on the
Radical ticket for this Congressional
district. He is John Stewart of Cham
bersburg. The Repository says, she is
one of the ablest campaigners in this
section of the State" No doubt of it
whatever. He stumped Franklin
county, last fall, in favor Of negro suf-
frage, the principal plank in The Rad
ical PLATFORM and succeeded in giving
the county to the Democrats by near
ly 200 majority. We hope Mr.. Stew
art will give Us some Of his stumping
up this way.

THE IMPEACHMENT HUMBUG.

THE IMPEACHMENT HUMBCG.
The counsel for President Johnson,
have delivered some crushing blows to
the conspiracy to depose the lawful
Executive of the country. We say
conspiracy, for if there were no con-
spiracy on the part of the Radical lead
ers, there would be nothing to crush.
The charges against the President are
merely preteXt upon which the con-
spirators intend toremove Mr.. Johnson.
There is nothing in them that could
not have been truthfully alleged a.
gainst half dozen former Presidents,
among them John Adams, Andrew
Jackson and James Buchanan. These
removed Cabinet officers, just as Mr.
Johnson attempted to remove Stanton.
These made speeches to public audien-
ces, just as did Mr.. Johnson. In the
exercise of executive power, Andrew
Jackson went far beyond the limit
which bounds the action Of the present
Executive. The whole country rang
with denunciati0ns of "the one man
power" represented in the administra-
ton of"Old Hickory" But, he was
not impeached, simply because there
was some purity and little recklessness
Why, then, is Andrew Johnson threat
ened with removal? Andrew Johnson,
who has not attempted to use a tithe
of the authority actually eXerted by
Andrew Jackson? Because, first, the
cOnspirators are corrupt and reckless,
caring nothing for the example they
set and aiming only to secure the pat
ronage of the government; secondly,
because the lethargy of the people is
counted on rs insuring the safety and
success of the conspiracy. But, as we
said before, Butler, Bingham & Co., are
getting some hard knocks. The cOun-
sci for President Johnson, are show
ing, by competent proofs, that the
President acted lawfully and COnsti-
tuti0naIly in his attempt to remove
Stanton. that he desired to get rid of
this odious office-h0lder by peaceful
means, and not by force, that he merely
directed General Thomas, as Adiutant
General of the Army, to take charge of
the War Office, until he could send to
the Senate an appointment Of success
sor to Stanton, that he did not c0nspire
with Gen. Thomas, or anybody else, to
seize the War Department, by force of
arms, that he has NOT ''Vi0lated the
Constitution, I!Y or even the Ten
ure of Office Law, and that it was his
intention to compel Stanton to test his
right to remain in the War Office, in
the Courts, and thus have the whole
difficulty settled by judicial decision.
These things the counsel for the Presi-
dent, have established, by record evil
dence, and by the testimony Of Gen.
Sherman, Gen. Thomas, w. S. Cox,
Esq, R. T. Merrick, Esq, and other
witnesses, and they show, most conclu-
sively, that there is nothing whatsOev-
er in the charges against the President,
ana that the scheme of Butler, Bing-
ham & Co., is nothing more and moth
ing less than bold, though crafty,
conspiracy to depOse the President, un-
der cover of impeachment for "high
crimes and misdemeanors ="

EDITOR GAZETTE. By reading the
GAZETTE of last week, ! observe an ed
itOrial article headed, " 4 6lOC at Foreign
born Citizens and the Laj0riRg Classes"
From that article | understand "that
the Assessor is required 10 register only
such as he kitOlCS to be voters; those
whom he does not kaoac to be voters,
must call upon him u, person, if they
desire to be registered" Now, the
question is, where will you find one
man in any township, III this county,
that kaOlcs every voter in the town.
ship? There are many men in this
township, | doubt not, who are un-
known to the Assessor, and if such
should call upon the Assessor in person,
then / suppose they must have wit
ness TO accompany them in order that
he may E1lOlC them, or else they cannot
be registered at all. But this is not
the worst feature that | see. | would
wish you to tell us how the election
boards are to do in this case. In many
townships the Assessor is seldom seen
more than two or three times at the
polls, on election day, and if he has this
registry list in his pocket, how are the
election officers to know who are, or
who are not, to vote, unless the Assess
or would give every vOtera certificate
to produce to the election board, to
satisfy them that he is regularly regis
tered? For, [ presume, the election
board dare not receive any ticket with
out first examining the list of register
ed names, to see whether the voters
name is there or not. And if his
name is not there, then, of course, he is
deprived of his vote, no matter how
long he may have been voter in the
townships; but he must be deprived of
his vote, because the Assessor does not
kJeOW him. This is worse than the
'Skedaddler Act" of two years ago.
There is a law, | believe, with regard
to Assessors attending election polls,
but | have never seen it fulfilled in
but one election district in my life
The law expressly says: at shall be
the duty of said Assessors, respectively,
to attend at the place OF holding every
general, special, or township election,
d,triaQ tie tCh0Ie time said election is kept
open, for the purpose of giving infor-
nation to the inspectors and Judge,
when called on, in relation to the right
of any person assessed by them, to vote
at such elections, Or such other matters
in relation to the assessment of voters,
as the said inspectors or judge, o: either
of them, shall from time to time re-
quire," &c. Now, if this law is still in
force, I presume it will have tenden-
cy, under the new act, to make the
assessors more punctual in performing
their duty, otherwise the election boards
will be in a bad situation. Some light
for the people upon this subject, is
earnestly desired. READER.
