what would be the practical effect OF Sc
cession. They chose to take counsel OF
their passions. We suggest to them the
eminent propriety of taking better counsel
now unless they wish history to repeat it
self again.
The legislation referred to has taken
place, and the people in all the Southern
States have been acting in accordance
Herewith. This no body will deny. Mr..
seymour, as President, is pledged to re-
gard and deal with it as if it had never
been. He will be obliged to inform Con-
gress that he can not recognize it. 1t is
revolutionary, unconstitutional, null and
void. He will refuse to see the laws in ques-
ton executed. How can he execute that as
law which is not law, and not binding in
law, which is revolutionary and void p? Yet
he can not get into the Presidential chair
| without taking an oath to do just that
which he is pledged in advance not to do,
viz: not to treat the laws of Congress as of
any legal effect or validity. He will go
int Office, if at all, with threat of revolu-
ton upon his tongue, for refusal on the
part of the Executive to execute the laws
OF Congress passed in due form is both
periury-since he takes an oath that he will
do this-and revolution. 1t is at once to
proclaim himself dictator.
Both branches OF Congress are now over
whelmingly Republican and admitting
STILL for arguments sake, that the next
House should become Democratic by the
elections to be held, no possible event can
make the Senate Democratic except coup
detdt-except a revolution. 1t is mex
plicable to us that the Democratic
conventionists should have put that plank
into their platform. If it means anything
at all it means revolution by force of
arms. Unless Mr.. Seymour, as President,
intends coup d etdt he will be obliged to
treat the measures Of Congress, not as null
and void and revolutionary according to
his platform, but as laws which he will be
compelled to recognize and enforce. Does
he design to execute a coup d'etat and re-
construct Congress by force: The country
has right to knew. If not, then the plat
form is fraud and a humbug, designed to
impose upon popular credulity. Which
horn of the delimma will he choose?

DEATH OF THADDBUs STEVENS,

The telegraph announces the death OF
the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens. The event
was not unexpected and yet it strikes us
with that mournful shock which succeeds
the demise Of distinguished statesman.
Thaddsus Stevens was one of the most re-
markable men Of the day. With an intel
lect of extraordinary acuteness and pene-
tratiOu, he was bold, impetuous, and de-
ciied. For years he has been the master
spirit in the House Of Representatives, and
one of the great leaders of his pacty.
In retort be was always ready, and few
ever encountered him scatheless. He pos
sessed great activity of mind, and his fac
uities retained their elasticity aud versatil-
ity to the last
He was in his seVenty-seventh year at
the time of his decease, having been born
in 1892. He was native of Vermont;
was graduated at Dartmouth College in
1874; was member of the State Legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania in 1888, 1884,
1885, 1887, and 1871; was a member
of the State Constitutional Convention
in 1888, and was appointed Canal Com
missioner in the same year; removed to
Lancaster in 1912; was elected from the
Ninth District to the Thirty-frst Congress,
and was constantly reelected up to the day
of his death, having thus served in the
National Legislature for fourteen sessions.
He was never married.
Mr.. Stevens was a man of singular per-
sonal integrity and keen sense of justice.
His quick perceptions caused him to be
considered too rash by some even Of his
political friends, but careful examination
of his course during the war and since will
show that his views have been. as a rule,
advanced and even prophetic rather than
erroneous.
Our House of Representatives yesterday
adjourned in token of respect to his mem
ory. 1t is memory that will always be
lovingly cherished by the friends of liberty,
OF Union, and Of progress, while even his
political opponents will remember with
respect his honesty, his zeal, his nervous
rhetoric, and his caustic humor.

THAT TAX,

We are daily receiving Communications
and approval for our course in reference
to the proposed one per cent tax.
So far as we can learn only the men of
this city who hold the warrants aud notes
of the State favor such imposition.
Can not these gentlemen forbear for the
moment their plucking of the impoverished
Pelican?
Let us houorably fund our obligations
and provide for the payment Of their in
terest and their ultimate redemption, and
we have made acquittal of all that honor
and financial faith can demand.

THE WORLD ON LOUISIANA.

The New York World which ought to
know better makes three or four blunders
in brief editorial on Governor Warmoth's
letter. Among other errors is the follow.
ing pretty sample
The wandering Illinoisian who writes
himself Governor of Louisiana has made.
we hear. " IA official requisition upon the
PRESIDENT for military force. According
to the constitution of the United States
(arttcle ". section y he has no right to do
any such thing, the Legislature Of the
state, no noBll'e, being In session and alone
authorized TO make sucha demand.
Governor Warmoth is no more wan
dering Illinoisian than Daniel Webster was
wandering New Hampshire man; but,
passing that, will the World have the
grace to state, what is fact, tina! the Gov
ernors letter. or "OfIiciaI requisision,' was
written in pursuance of a Joint resolution
Of the Legislature. So that all the forms
were complied with to the letter.
Mr.. Manton Marble, who edits the World.

to seek his fortune. He will not make il
very fast if he does not make his editorials
a little more reliable.

DEPARTURES OF a oARPGT.BAeagR.


On Tuesday evening, via the Jackson
Railroad, Mr.. John Hancock, Ex-Acting
Collector Of this District, took his depart
ure from the scene of his recent labOrs. He
stopped not to bid his acquaintance good
by-not even to make his harraDgue before
before the Sixth Ward Democratic Club
last evening, as announced. Mr. Hancock
once before was appointed to fat thing
under the Treasury Department at Phila-
delphla. Before the Senate had time to re-
ject his name, he had managed to make the
government his creditor for many thousands
of dollars. This was some way fixed up"
however, and the individual was allowed
to come here, and run sort of official
muck in which men Of all classes, as well
as the government, were made to suffer.

Our secession brethren have an agoniz-
ing horror of the Yankees, and yet, oh
poor, weak, inconsistent human nature.
they have gone aud taken a full blooded
Yankee from the land Of wooden nutmegs,
and the blue laws as their candidate for
the Presidency. Horatio's father, not
long after settling in New York as car
pet Dagger, went crazy and killed himself.
We fear, from some of the strange freaks
of the son, that insanity is hereditary in
the family.

In 1860 the Union was at the height of
prosperity. In 1868 it is almost overwhelm.
ed with continually increasing debt, etc.
Times.
The secession Democracy of the South
are Of course not responsible for this.
They worked SO desperately to preserve
the Union cat the height of prosperity
and the government, the Union army, and
Grant labored SO assiduously to pull it
down and Overwhelm il with debt that they
ought to ask pardon of the said secession
Democracy, and humbly ask them to take
charge of the republic, and restore it again
to " the height of prosperity" The G. s.
oracle is becoming facetious.

We copy this from the New York Com.
naercidl Advertiser, that our readers may
understand the effect upon the North of the
outrages perpetrated and sanctioned by the
element in Louisiana hostile to the Repub.
lican party:
The conduct Of the rebele in Louisiana is
calculated to damage the prospects of the
Democracy. Since the nomination of Sew
mour and Blair they have assumed defiant
and threatening attitude against the lawful
and constituted authorities. Inspired by
the speeches Of Blair, Hampton, Vance x
Co., they have inaugurated anarchy, and
murder and rapine stalks red-handed
through the State. IF the terrible work
which has been in progress down there is
not soon arrested no Union mans life will
be safe. The rebel riots in New Orleans
two years ago swept down Democracy In
the Northern States The conduct Of the
friends o. Seymour and Blair at this time
will swell the tide Of Indignation against
them, and overwhelm them with defeat.

Democratic Senators from this city, were
yesterday confirmed in their seats by a
Republican Senate, another proof that the
Republican party of Louisiana is guided

A Democratic orator in Indiana boosted
the other day that the Second District in
that State would poll large majority for
his party, whereupon contemporary says
it is not at all unlikely as there are eighteen
murder cases on the docket in one of the
counties of the district. Wherever there is
large Democratic majority in a district,
look out for violations of the law, mobs
and murders.
