BETTER LATE THAN NEvER.-Our
readers no doubt recollect the denun-
Citations that were properly heaped
upon the late loyal State Treasurer
Kemble-last winter. When it was
a virtue to denounce him, our neigh
Dor of the Journal was as silent as the
grave; but last week he became elo-
quent over the fact, that the "notori-
ous Bill Kcmblc no longer controls
the funds Of the Commonwealth.
The milk is brought out of the cocoa
nut, from the fact that Kemble &C.
stroyed the prospects of H. B. S. for
the Craftsmanship ofthe State Commit
tee. "BilP was all right until this
little bird with "greenback" wings
had flown.

NEARLY A "LosT CAUSE. The bu-
rcauites are blowing over the fact,
chat the Treasury Department, at
Washington, has just recovered one
hundred and forty-four thousand dol
lars of the Confederate agents in
England, which is now 'jingling" in
the Treasury, This is only half the
story. To collect this sum, Seward
and McCulloch paid loyal bummers
niHty thousand dollars as fees, percen-
tage, &c. We will collect s1.44 for
any body, provided they give ninety
cents for doing it.

.Wr. sAurerf,s .fddress.

The late Senatorial contest in the
Twenty.frst district having excited
considerable interest in this county
during It's progress, and lately through
the enterprise. of Mr.. Swoope and the
Harrisburg Telegraph, we therefore
lay before our readers, this week, the
address of Mr.. Shugert, and bespeak
for it an attentive perusal. He covers
the whole ground in modest and
truthful manners and in these partic-
'ulars far outweighs the argument"
of Mr.. Swoope. No contest was ever
waged before our Legislature in which
the contestant so miserably failed
to comply with the requirements
of law and the demands Of justice.
The management Of the case on
the part of Patterson, Cessna, Swoope
& Co., betrays gross ignorance of
law, or a reliance wholly on parti-
san malice to carry them through.
They have succeeded, against all
law and the facts in the case. Du-
ring tho progress of the trial, bundles
of papers were smuggled into the
hands of the committee, through their
pliable Clerk, by Cessna and Swoope,
who, upon every legal point, were
outwitted by Messrs Maynard and Or
Wis. Although the committee were
sworn "to try the matter Of the peti-
tion," they, through the blunders of
the contestants counsel, were COM
PEELED to depart from both petition
and oaths and find a verdict occording
to outside dictation, in order to save
the case. The papers clandestinely
showed into the committees hands by
Swoope & Co., termed amendments"
were offered only when the superior
legal knowledge of Mr.. Shugerts
counsel revealed their necessity to
the benighted mind of the ex-clergy.
man on the other side. This amend
ment strategy is Characteristic and so
Swoopish, that no one can fail to see
the spectdcle-s. The conduct and
conclusions arrived at by the majori-
ty Of the Committee and the contes-
tant's counsel, are against all law and
precedents in similar cases but they
are just what might be expected from
men of this class.
The reader will bear in mind, that
both the chairman and one of the coun-
sci for Robson are ex-clergymen.
Hence the outrage perpetrated against
law and the people of the district, be-
cause men who betray their God are
soon qualified to ignore law and out
rage their fellow man.

THE NV YoRK Tribune has official
returns from fifty counties in Michi-

swelled to 100000 by the remaining
nine counties. The majority against
the negro suffrage constitution, so far,
is S9,477, and against liquor prohibi-
ton, lS,lO7. The Supervisors, so far
officially reported from thirty.fve
counties, stand 1862 Radicals and 8O2

LOuaI RascaIify.

The Rev. Senator Landon and Dea-
con Bergner, of the Harrisburg 1ele-
graph, are being exposed and scourged
by the Harrisburg State Guard, an
organ of the loyal persuasion. The
villiany of these State robbers would
not be believed if exposed by a Dem
ocratic journal, but when brought to
light by of Bureau agent, should
attract some attention.
The Guard is not entitled TO any
credit, however, for exhibiting the
robberies perpetrated by its party
friends, because we believe that if its
proprietors were in the place of Berg
ner, they would be more unmerci-
full than he, as his robberies are Of
long standing and he don't spend as
much money as the versatile young
men would who control the Guard.
Learn what this loyal organ says si
its leading members in the Church,
Senate and House-Deacon, Clergy
man and Elder-all engaged in plum
dcring the tax-payers-loyalists as
well as the copperheads-who yet
claim to be controlled by "grand
moral ideasg Why, their villiany is
as full grown as Ben. Buffers or Con-
gresham Donnelly's. Here is the
gospel version:
The State pays sl5 per page for
printing the Legislative Record. We
offered to do it for sl2. The SIS per
page is supposed to include the pay
OF reporters, whose combined salaries
will amount TO about five dollars per
page. We want the reader to mark
these items as we state farther
facts. The committee before which
the Robson VS.. Shugert contested
election case was heard, employed its
own clerk to make report. No re-
porters of the Record were present TO
make such report, and now that
Senator Landon moved 10 have these
proceedings printed in the Record, the
contractor for that work will get his
SIS per page, the same as if he fur
nished reporter TO make the copy.
IL is estimated that the report Of tlrsc
proceedings will average about two
hundred and fifty pages of printed
matter. On every page Of this prin-
ted matter the contractor will save
s5 in reporters salary. This saving
on two hundred and fifty pages of the
Record, will enable the contractor to
put into his Golfers the. snug little sum
Of TWELVE HUNDRED AND fIFTY DOL
LARS, for which no man will render
the State moments service. Now,
neither Mr.. Mann nor Senator Ian
don, both great sticklers for the sane
tity of the contract system and the
necessity Of economy, objected TO this
present ofsl ,250 being made to man
who is already getting SO more per
page for doing the entire Record, than
we offered TO do it. When the ladies
of Harrisburg asked for money to feed
and clothe the helpless children of
John S. Mann accused them
Of an attempt TO make raid on the
Treasury, and when we repelled Mr..
Mann's coarse abuse, the contractor
for the Record began to throw dirt at
US. The children of the poor, tho or
phan and the widow are allowed TO
starve, and in the meantime Rev. SEN
ltor George Landon will pray for
hem, while he assists to fill the cof-
'ers Of the rich, with unearned money
wrung from the sweating toll of over
Taxpayers.

SOMETHING WRoNG.-A strange calf
must have jumped into the Journals
pasture last week, or the Deacon has
got his "back up" because his friend
Swoope lost the State Committee
Craftsmanship. He scolds the "Dem-
ocratic niggcrs" in the South for vo-
ting against the carpet-bag bummers
''in defiance of the Radical influence
brought to bear on them" he pun
msls grandmother Wells, and the "no-
torious Bill Kemble," and puffs the
Winnebago chief, who, according to
the "groat Commoner," is the corrupt
est man that ever held a seat in the
U. S. Senate.

The Deacon, last week, eloquently
alluded to the fact that the ignorant
slaves" now control all the Southern
States, and thereupon tenders us his
compliments. We beg his pardon; we
cannot accept either-eompliments or
niggers. We dare not be sportive
while the African negro lords it over
our race. 1t may suit his taste; he
may believe them to be brethren and
his equals; but our mind does not run
in that gutter.

The General Conference of the
Northern Methodist Church is in ses-
sion at Chicago. II is not known
whether Bishop Simpson will be elect
ed President of the Black Republican
Convention that meets there next
week or not. 1t is altogether proba-
BILE, as large number of the delegates
are negroes, who have an inordinate
love for political clergymen of the
Simpson cloth. We advise the two
bodies to unite-the difference is not
much and get Dick Yates TO preside,
because by combining the "grand mo
raj ideas" of these mixed bodies, they
might keep him sober; besides, Dick
is representative man, and would at
once reflect the sObriety, religion and
intelligence of the twain, and thereby
keep Grant from falling out of line,
