Old Spitfre, in his message on the
subject Of the railroad strike, at this
place, processes to see in it huge
rebellion against the State and his in
perial power andscruples not to charge
said strike upon our citizens and the
rebellious district through which the
road runs. The charge is grossly
false and as malicious as it FALSE
Petty tyran. see rebellion in every
manifestation of private or public
virtue; it is the result Of conscious
guilt which makes towards of the
boldest.
The source from which the old
imp of darkness got his information,
we neither know nor care, for it is
false whether borrowed or original,
and his message is a slander against
men who are his superiors in every
thing that constitutes the christian
and gentleman. But malice. in him
is as natural q secretion, as venom is
in a serpent, and would treat this
exhition of it with silent contempt,
were it not our duty to vindicste the
character of those assailed.
The following is the portion o.
the message above alluded to:
MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR.
A message from the Governor in reference
TO the strike on the Memphis, Clarksville and
Louisville Railroad says:
~ regard TO the whole affair as regular
conspiracy against the State authorities and
the road. Without being able to identify
the parties, j think II proper 10 lay before the
Legislature the whole matter, that you may
take such steps as you may think called for
in such an emergency. do not propose 10
yield to the mob spirit Of any combination,
but hope the Legislature will aid me in de-
monstrating TO these men that the State can
do as well without the advantages of the
road, as the employees can without the en-
iployment or the citizens without the active
operations Of the road through its disloyal
territory. Certainly the Legislature will no,
allow such lawless measures to force the
State into the payment of claims before they
are audited and their correctness ascertained
~ propose, II the Legislature win agree
with me, 10 wind up the affairs of the road
aad sell Il out SO as to secure the interest ol
the State ! mast again urge tae importane,
Of enactiug more stringent laws In regard
10 our railroads, aud particularly Of thos'
passing into the hands Of receivers"
The subject matter was referred to In,
Commitlee on Railroad Accounts.

Card from Admiral Semmes.

During my recent lectoring tour through
Kentucky, was 30 constantly mofvng from
place to place that did not SEQ the Northern
many OF their structures escaped nv eyes
formed by my friends Of certain coarse and
ill-mannered attacks mndc upon me by The
New York Timer and other kindred sheets,
which, under the control of .Littl. Williams
and big villains, have been pandering 10 the
taste OF their readers. None OF these prints
have controverted any Of the points made In
my lecture--those points being, unfortunately
for them, facts. Instead, they have INDUCED
in personal vituperation, this being the only
means left them Of gratifying the undyjpg
malice which small spirits always feel To-
ward thosr who have destroyed their prop.
erty.
The Times, I understand, for I have not
seen the article, became quite merry oy,r tho
fact, stated by me In one Of my eeiures, that
when captured the California steamer Ariel
] did not permit the passengers 20 be dospol-
cd of any portion Of their money or personal
effects, limiting myself to the capture Of the
steamer and her freights. While I struck
sturdy and hearty blows at the commerce OF
the enemy, as was my duty, this was my
constant practice at sea, and contrnsted, IN
u letter referred TO by the Times, this prac-
tice with the shameful robberics perpe,rated
by Sherman and his "bummrrs' upon the
women and children of the South-burninR
from over their heads the houses which shell
tered them from the storm, and robb.nE
them, not only of their jewelry. but VI their
food and clothing. Will the Times cease q

mate as that Of General Lee, and no one but

public mind as 10 the career OF my ship, aud

people, design at my leisuac, and as oppor-
tunity may ofier 10 preseat 10 my county

Avoice from Pennsylvania.
Translated for the Chronicle.1

Mr. EDIroR Your worthy letter, also
your esteemed paper came to hand In due
time. ! am very sorry to inform you that
there is at present very gloomy prospect TO
affect my German neighbon TO emigrate ts
your State, for the following reasons: These
Germans are of opinion that II is not prof.
table for any white iaboring man TO emigr.ts
into State which 10 governed by negroes,
because thay are making the laws of your,
State, they also pretend to be laborsrs,
although they do not intend 10 labor much.
For this reason It is expected that the negro
will be the enemy of hard working Ger
man laborer, and inasmuch as they have the
power, and the white men Of your State are
entirely powerles, it Is dangerous 70 honest
white labor In your State. Negro govern
ment win ruin the South, or any other coun.
try, without fail. This has been proven In
our own country. A few years before the
war q rich slaveholder from the South,
came here, to Mercer county, and set all his
negroes free; and bought for each family .
nice little fam, and, ct the present time,
these negroes do not own q foot Of said
farms. Give such chance to German emi-
grants and you viii see them rich before you
expect it.
lam satis6ed that the so-called loyal
whites in the South, are digging their own
graves, in which they win be buried SOON
because their humanity is rotten, their poll
tics corrupt and improvident, and the al
mighty dollar is their christianity. They do
not hate slavery, but they hate the slave
holders. Ifthose loyal whitcs would admon-
ish the negroes to work and teach them how
to govern their own household, before they
advocate their nchisemenl they would do
some good. The German emigrant has to wait

Many Of the courts Of the countr,

Many of the courts Of the country
have decided that contracts, made
payable in gold, are mot binding
upon the debtors, who may force
creditors to take, in lieu thereof,
deprecated paper currency. The
Supreme Court of New York, repu-
dating a legal construction SO at war
with justice, has decided that obliga-
tins to pay COLA should be enforced.
This decision is based mainly, upon
the fact that the act of Congress
making legal tenders the currency of
the country, has practically retired
the precious metals as . circulating
medium and thrown them upon the
market as articles Of trafc. Hence
contracts, STIMULATING payment in gold
partake Of the character, and are
subject to the rules that govern, bar
ter. In other words, according to
this righteous opinion of that court,
whatever . man binds himself to pay,
hs must pay, whether it be wheat or
corn or any other commodity. IF q
man simply bind himself to pay so
many dollars and cents, it may be
polite to make him pay greenbacks,
though it be in contravention Of the
constitution, but If he agree to pay
cotton for dry goods, or tobacco for
groceries or gold for land, there is no
Justice in releasing him from an obli-
cation voluntarily assumed, especially
rs the transaction, in either Of the
supposed cases, is simply q bartering
Of one commodity for another.
We hope this common sense and
just view of this subject will be adop-
ted by the Courts, so that justice
may be administered in all such cases
and that clause of the Constitution
which forbids any interfe-
renee that impairs the validity of

The negroes returned tho mules In q poor

KNow-NOTWNG FALsEHOoD-The
following has prominent place in the
last AlieghdHidn. We commend it to
our foreign born and Catholic readers
"The youngstown District, in wcstmoreland
county, contains the Catholic Monastery of st.
Xavier. Its inmates are nearly, IL not all, for.
| eguers. Few Of them had naturalization papers
But all voted No challenges were permitted. A
person attempting IL was silcneed aud told IL he
persisted he should be arrested. The boxes were
literally crammcd without either form or fear Of
law"
Now, we will bet either of the edi.
tors Of the AHeghdHidn $500 that not
member Of "the Catholic Monastery
of st. Xavier" voted unless he was
either native or naturalized citizen.
Such stuff we would expect from Co.
vode, born Know Nothing, and his
toadies, but the Alieghdnidn does not
believe it, and ought not TO publish it.
1t is pretty hard fare for its Catholic
readers to charge that their clergy
men and reiigieuse are guilty of PERU
ry; and violation of the election laws.

A BOLD THIEF.-On Wednesday
night last, the dwelling house of John
f. Baldwin, West Bradford, was enter.
ed, and all the silver spoons carried
off. The thief was certainly a bold
one, and one apparently well acquaint-
ed with the premises The spoons
were in a small drawer locked up in a
book case in the dining room on top
of the drawer was n large roll of new
muslin, a fine double-bar gun stood
near the book case, watch was hang
ing against the wall, and several over
coats were hanging in the room. The
thief opened the book case, threw the
muslin to one side, took the spoons
out Of the drawer, and made of with
them none Of the other articles were
taken - West Chester Record.
