Reconstruction in Jenner TOtrn-
ship. NOnlinerAef County. Pa.

We have heard the Radical leaders
Of Somerset borough, when, on the
ave af an Important elnetion. Jenner
township had given an increased ma
jority for the Radical or negro suffrage
party, exclaime :-"Glorious Old Jen-
ner i-sho is always right, she is as
true TO her party allegiance as the
needle is TO the pole, the sun that
never sets, &c" For other reasons we
have often exclaimed GLORIOUS old
Jenner l"--for many are the happy
days we have passed therein from our
childhood to manhood. We love her
hills, her valleys, her swift flowing
streams and her lofty mountains.
The tenacity with which the Radicals
adhere TO and vote with their party
right or wrong, the manner in which
the sopereignS, "dumb like lamb and
they open not their mouths" are led
TO the window by the self important
leaders to vote, has even mmarded
admiration mingled with contempt
Jenner now stands out in bold and
dashing colors. She is far ahead Of
Congress. Congress busters and re.
solves-Jenner performs. Congress
is too cowardy to be candid and boldly
proclaimed the purpose and intent of
the Radical reconstruction measures
TO be amalgamation. Jenner with
candor boldly throws her flag to the
breeze and gives practical demonstra-
tions.
We were led 10 these reflections on
hearing, a few days since, of thefollow-
ing marriages in Jenner.

This is reconstruction without the
freedmen's bureau. We especially
commend the Justices of Jenner 10
the Rump Congress. They have car
ried out their favorite doctrine. When
the Rump Congress succeeds in re-
moving Justices Davis and Fields
from the Supreme Bench of the Uni
ted States, we would advise them 10
put in their places Justices Flcck and
Griffith of good old Jenner. If they
succeed in getting the latter on the
Supreme Bench, they need have no
further fears for the constitutionality
of their pet reconstruction measures.

the South. We ask at your hands,
we demand of you, the ruling men of
the nation, accountability for these
crimes we will continue TO demand
at your hands an answer TO these
charges. IL is Of you we ask, where
is our country Broken, discovered
and shattered, we ask you to give it
back. Had you given us what you
could have given us, the Constitution
ofour country, the Union of the States,
peace and prosperity would have now
pervaded all the land taxation would
have been light; the black man would
have enjoyed the fruits of his own
labor; the white man would have
occupied the place God designed him
to occupy in the Government of this
Republic. But your great dogma is
that the black man is to have the
power; and the Senator from Brad
ford Mr.. Landon1 very eloquently
alluded last night to the rainbow aud
its prismatic colors, and the drops that
made up the great arch, and his con
cluding sentence would imply that
black was one of the component colors
in the rainbow.
Mr.. FISHER. Will the Senator allow
me to interrupt himl / will answer
his question. / understood the Sena-
tor, last night. to say they we're Dem
ocrats when they went into the army;
it is to that ] was referring He asks,
what are they nowY | will answer
that question with great pleasure. A
very large majority of the bounty
jumpers and deserters were Republi-
cans, or rather were Democrats.
Mr.. WALLACE. The Senator unfor.
tunately struggles against the truth.
Laughter.
But all this is aside from the main
question on hand tonight. Senators
90 too far when they enter the field of
general politics. The simple question
before us is whether the man whom il
is sought TO praise by these resolutions
should be endorsed. As | said last
night, he is the representative of an-
tagonism to the ideas we hold. He
is the representative of that party
who believe in striking down our free
institutions. am unwilling to place

In conclusion, take this opportu.
nifty TO express my regret that the
State of Pennsylvania should have for
its Treasurer person who could so
far disgrace the State he assumes TO
represent and forget the dignity of
the Office he holds, as TO reply to a
civil business communication in a
manner which must raise the blush of
shame on the cheek of every citizen
Of that great and honored State. |
am your obedient servant.
(Signed) AUGUST BELMONT.
William H. Kemble, ESQ, State
Treasurer of the State OF Pcnnsylva-
mia, Harrisburg.
"The blush Of shame" has already
mantled the cheek of Pennsylyania's
good.looking State Treasurer. His
party friends are assisting in prolong-
ing the "blush." The Philadelphia
Ledger, Of the llth inst, says Mr.
Kemble's letteris wantonly and scan
dalously insulting" The Doylestown
Democrat thus refers to the matter
"The conduct of State Treasurer
Kemble, in going out of the way 70
insult the Messrs. Belmont & CO., and
large class of our citizens, in an Off
cial letter, is brutal His letter is
gross and vulgar. Such public off,
Ger is disgrace TO the State, and he
ought TO be compelled to resign before
he is relieved by the newly elected
Treasurer. Official impudence cannot
go further. His allusion to the reli-
gious faith of the Rothschilds is an
atrocious insult. Mr. Kemble's letter
shows that he is a bIackguard and not
fit TO hold any public position in this
State. Let him begone."
The N. Y. Tribune has the following
first-class notice Of Mr.. Kemble.
"The correspondence between Mr.
August Belmont and Mr.. w. ii. KEN
bic, Treasurer of the State of Pennsyl-
vania, which we published yesterday,
ought TO be read by American gentle
men with mingled shame and satisfac-
ton; with shame that an official Of
Mr.. Kemble's rank should have filled
an official business letter with gross
and unprovoked insults, and with sat
isiaction that Mr.. Belmont should have
administered, in his reply, severe
and well-merited castigation. The
tone Of Mr.. Kemble's entire letter is
coarse but the vulgarity of the con-
eluding sentence, in which he alludes
TO the religious faith Of the Roths-
childs, is atrocious. Mr., Kemble had
better resign. He may have frequent
occasions to associate officially with
gentlemen, and the intercourse could
hardly fail TO be unpleasant"

THE OLD MAN.-Bow low thy head
boy do reverence TO the old man
once like you tho vioissitudes Of life
have silvered his hair and changed
the round merry face TO the worn
visage before you Once that heart
beat with aspiration co-equal TO any
that you have felt, aspiration crushed
by disappointment, as yours perhaps
is destined TO be. Once that form
stalked proudly through the gay
scenes of pleasure, the beau-idoal OF
grace; now the hand of time that
withers the flowers of yesterday has
wrapt that figure and destroyed the
noble carriage. Once at your age, he
possessed the thousand thoughts that
pass through your brain, now wishing
to accomplish deeds equal TO a nook
in fame; anon imagining life dream
that the sooner he awoke from the
better But he has lived the dream
very near through. The time to ava
ken is very noar at hand; yet his eye
ever kindles at odd deeds of daring,
and the hand takes a firmer grasp OF
the staff. Bow low the head, boy, as
You would, in your old age, be reyer.

BEAunFuL.-Whent the summerd day
of youth is slowly wasting away into
the nightfall of age, and the shadows
Of the past years grow deeper and
deeper as life wears TO a close, il is
pleasant to look back through the
visits of time upon the Joys aud sor.
rows OF early years. IL we have a
home TO shelter or hearts TO rejoice
with us, and friends who have been
gathering around our freside, then
the rough places Of our wayfaring
will be worn and smoothed away in
the twilight Of life, whilst the bright
sunny spots we have passed through
will grow brighter and more beauti.
fnl. Happy, indeed, are those whose
intercourse with the world has not
changed the course Of their holier
feeling, or broken those musical chords
Of the heart whose vibrations are so
melodious, so tender and 80 touching
in the evening Of ago.

A LOYAL FRAUD.--The St. Louis
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Inquirer says: "There is no telling
the ways that men, greedy for gain,
will not avail themselves of to advance
their fortunes, especially during and
since the war, as men have been found
willing and anxious TO sell soul and
conscience for little filthy lucre. A
few days since an incident occurred
which very forcibly illustrates this.
An Irishman was employed to dig up
and remove some Of the bodies Of
Union soldiers in the Wesleyan Gem
etery OF this city In lifting the cof-
fins he thought they seemed unusu.
ally hollow in their sound, and open
ing them found that no bodies had
ever been placed in them at all, moth
ing but planks or square blocks Of
wood. The mystery TO the honest
Hibernian was great, but when it was
told him that the Union soldiers were
buried by contract-the undertaken
receiving so much per coffin-and
that the bodies could be sold at a
handsome profit TO some medical col
lege, the doubt was at once removed,
and the avenue TO a large fortune i'm
mediately disclosed. This was only
one of the ways that the war made
men rich.

SIR; i have TO acknowledge the
receipt Of your letter of 30th ult., ad-
dressed 10 my house, in reply 10 our
application on behalf Of Messrs. n. NJ.
Rothschild & Sons, of London, who
had instructed us TO receive payment
of the Pennsylvania State stock now
due, under protest in case the State
should not pay the principal in coin,
and in case no arrangement could be
effected having in view a continuation
Of the interest and an extension of the
time of redemption Of the capital.
Messrs. Rothschild act in this mat
ter as trustees of the holders of the
debentures of the United States Bank
of Pennsylvania, residing in England
and on the continent Of Europe. You
seem so well acquainted with the
financial transactions Of States and
individuals, that you must know that
by these debentures hundreds Of wild q.
ows and orphans have been reduced
TO bcggary.
Messrs Rothschild, in trying to
save for their constituents all they
can Of the wreck, have made through
my house on application, which they
as well as deem just and equitable,
and this application was made in a
courteous and respectful manner. In
so doing Messrs. Rothschild have
evinced a new proof if any was want
ed, Of their strict and honorable ap.
probation Of the obligations assumed
by them as trustees for the innocent
holders Of the most disastrous securi-
ty ever negotiated by their house, a
negotiation based principally upon
the faith of the State ofPonnsylvania
and its great banking institution.
Your reference 20 the liabilities Of
my house, contracted in coin and as
sumed by you to have been paid in
currency, is as impertineat as it is
untrue in point Of fact. August Bel.
mont 4 Co. have never declined to meet
any demandfo the payment in coin of
any liability contracted by them in
coin, before or since the Legal-tender
act.
If they had adopted the course to-
wards their creditors which you pro-
pose to take on behalf of the State Of
Pennsylvania towards her unfortunate
creditors represented by the Messrs
Rothschild, there might have been
some excuse for the lack Of courtesy
which you have exhibited in your let
ter 10 them.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE BONDS.
Below will be found the correspond
enco between our Black Republican
State Treasurer and the banking
house of August Belmont & Co, OF
New York. A resolution was very
properly introduced in the lower
House of the Legislature censuring
Mr.. Treasurer Kemble, but it was
lodged, if not altogether suppressed
from the record. The vote stood,
yeas, 90; nays, SO, We have not
been able to get the vote in detail.
We are pleased TO know that, although
our Black Republican Legislature re-
fused to censure the blackguard the
press and business men generally, of
all parties, have done it, Read the
correspondence
NEW YoRK, Jan. 2S, 1868.
To the Treasurer Of the State Of Penn
Sytudhid:
We have received from Messrs. N.
Nj. Rothsehild 4 Sons, of London,
sl90,SS6.l0 Pennsylvania State 5 per
cent stock, which we sent to Phila-
delphia for redemption, TO be followed
in few days by further lot of $780,
900.
Besides these, Messrs. Rothschild
hold about 100000 more OF stock
already overdue and becoming due
this year. These gentlemen again
complain of the injustice of the action
of the State of Pennsylvania, in fore.
ing its creditors to accept payment in
deprecated currency, and have in.
structed us TO receive payment only
under protest, as heretofore.
They would, however, prefer to hold
the stock, if an Arrangement could be
made with your State for continua-
tion Of the loan, and will only accept
payment now If compelled 10 do so by
discontinuance OF the interest. We
have written to the Farmers and Ne
chanics' National Bank of Philadel-
pbia TO confer with you on this sub
ject before accepting payment, and
we beg you will give this matter your
serious consideration and let Us know
whether an extension as desired by
Messrs. Rothschild is possible.
Hoping soon TO hear from you, we
remain yours, respectfully.

GENTLEMEN In reply TO your note
of the 18th, | beg to say that no ar
rangements can be made by which
the Messrs. Kotnscnnus can retain Uhe
old loan (now overdue) and continue
TO draw interest on it.
You state that should no arrange
ment be made you will be compelled
TO accept payment under protest. To
this we have not the slightest objee-
tion. Your complaints about the in
justice Of our not paying you in gold
may seem just to you, but to us they
seem ridiculous
have no doubt Messrs. August
Belmont 4 Co. had many liabilities
out, when the legal.tender act was
passed, which became due after gold
had risen to a premium Of so. | have
not yet heard OF their conscience CON-
pclling them to pay in gold instead of
the legal-tender.
