General Grants Speech.

One great advantage of President-elect's
saying but little is that the little he does
say is sure to he scanned with eager, curl
Gus attention. TO meet the public inquis-
itiveness respecting General Grant. Below
will be found what is telegraphed from
Washington as Il word-for-word report of
his speech in reply TO the committee that
delivered to him his certificate of election :
/ can promise the committee that it will
be my endeavor to call around me as assis-
tants such men only as | think will carry
out the principles which yOu have said the
country desires to see successful-economv
retrenchment, faithful collection of the
revenue, and payment of the public debt
If | should fail III my first choice [ shall
not at any time hesitate to make n second,
or even q third trial, with the concurrence
of the Senate, who have the confirming
| power, and should Just as soon remove one
of my own appointees us the 'appointee of
my predecessor. 1t would make no differ
ence.
! There is one matter that [ might proper
! ly speak of here, and that is the selection
| of a Cabinet, l have always felt that it
.would be rather indelicate to announce or
even to consult with the gentlemen whom
| thought of inviting to positions in my
| Cabinet before the official declaration Of
! theresult of the election was made, although
L presumed that there was no doubt about
| what the declaration would be. But after
consideration L have come to the cOnclu-
sion that there Is not man in the country
who could be invited to a place in the Cab
met without friends of some other gentle
man making an effort to secure the posi-
ton not that there would be any objection
to the party named, but there would be
others whom they had set their hearts up.
on having in the place can tell that
from the great number of requests which
come to me, in writing and otherwise, fol
| this particular person or that one, from
different s1ts Or delegations. EannOunced
IL advance. efforts would be mudeto change
my determination, and therefore ! have
come to the conclusion not to Announce
who ] am going to invite to seats i'll the
Cabinet until send il their names to the
Senate for confirmation. If | say anything
to them about it, it will certainly not bt
more than two Or three days previous to
sending i'll their names. | think il well tC
make a public declaration of this to the
committee, so that my intentions may be
| known.
This certainly is no great display of in
tellect; but candor constrains us to say
that tits no ordinary exhibition of chmac
ter. The man who thus quietly holds cu,
rious politicians at bay, and acts steadily
upon his own unassisted Judgment, evinces
a resolute self-reliance which is one of the
most respectable qualities that can he pos
sessed by a man clothed with great respon
sibihties. His judgments may i'll some
cases be mistaken, but they will at least bt

A Carpet -bagger.

No one viii question the ability of Hun
nicutt, of Virginia, TO understand and de-
scribe ''carpet-bagger. lie understands
this class of persons, their habits, manners
and peeuliaIities rs thoroughly as did Au-
dubon the haunts and peculiartities of the
various kinds of birds. Hunnicutt has
slept with the carpet-baggers, ate with them
Travelled, preached, prayed and humbugged
with them. He has aided them in inham-
ing the passions of the negroes against the
whites, and pointed ont to his associates
from other States the spots in Virginia
where their blows could be made most eff
fective Thus posted as to the rpet-bag-
gers, the following sketch from the brush
of their late cOmrade cannot fail to be ac-
cepted by the community. Elder Hunni-
cutt says: "A few strangers squatted in
Virginia for tbs whole and sole purpose of
making their living and fortunes by office
holding. These men, without means, with
ont any established characters to recon-
mend them TO the confidence of the people,
without any employment or business to
help build up the State in any way loaf
ing around, prying into everybody's bust
ness, having none of their own; looking
out for any vacancy of office which may be
made trying to shove others out that they
themselves may creep in; trying to pull
others down that they may go up trying
to snatch the bread out of honest mems
mouths that they may fill their own greedy
stomachs trying to undermine honest
mems business that they may sneak into
their places trying to crush out truth and
honesty to make way for lying and rob
berry" The point and moral of this are,
that the whole aim, object and purpose of
the Reconstruction acts are to put South
ern States into the hands and keeping of
this class of persons. 1t may well be char
acterized as a scheme to ''crush out truth
and honesty" and "make way for lying and
robbery" We thank thee, Hunnicutt, for
teaching us that word.

Pa the Taxes.

The laboring men of this nation-the
tax-payers-were promised that ''times
should be easier" upon Grants election
that public confidence would be restored
and money and labor become abundant
We would ask these dupes. of Radicalism if
these pledges have been fulfilled /? The
money market is now so stringent that
enormous rates are paid for the use of
money in some cases to our knowledge
twenty to twenty-five per cent. In the
face of these facts our rpubhc expenditures,
both State and Federal, are increasing at
an alarming rate. Fraud and corruption
are more rife than ever
As illustrative of this, we would call the
attention of our readers to the fact that the
increase of the public debt in January was
SO, ,49S, 456.S3 just think of This We toll
ing masses groan and sweat under your
burdens, and see the lordly bond-holder

which he bought at a ruinous discount

Negro Suffrage Bill.

The House, it will be recollected, some
days ago passed joint resolution to give
negroes the right of suffrage. That bill
went to the Senate. On Tuesday last
the Senate had the resolution under discus
sion and passed it, after prolonged de-
bate, in the following shape:
Be il resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives, &c, twO-thirls of both
Houses cOncurring. That the following
articles be proposed to the Legislatures of
the several States, as an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, either Of
which, when ratified by three-fourths of
said Legislatures, shall be held as part of
said nstitution-namely:
Art. 18th. No distinction shall be made
in the United States, among the citizens of
the United States, III the exercise of the
elective franchise, or in regard to holding
Office in any State, on account of race, col
or, nativity, property qualification or creed.
Art. 10th. The second clause first section,
second article of the Constitution of the
United States shall be amended to read as
follows
Each State shall appoint, by the vote of
the people thereof qualified to vote for rep
resentatives in Congress, a number of elec-
tors equal TO the whole number of Senators
and Representatives to which the State may
be entitled in the Congress; but no Senator
or Representative or persons holding an
office of trust or profit under the United
States shall be appointed an elector; and
that Congress shall have power to prescribe
the manner III which such electors shall be
chosen by the people.
The joint resolution now goes to the
House for concurrence.

RElIONSTRANCE.

TO tie H0aoJaJje tie .Se4aie aud House Of
Representatives. Of tie CommoaceaM of
Pennsylvania, IN General assembly met:
The undersigned, citizens of--county
without distinction of party, do most re-
spectfully but earnestly and solemnly re-
monstrate against the ratification, by your
honorable bodies, of the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, known rs Article Nv, which pro-
vides that ''The right of any citizen Of the
United States to vote and hold office shall
not be denied or abridged by the United
States, or any State, by reason of race, or
color, or previous condition of slavery of
any citizen or class of citizens of the United
States" We do protest against the ratif-
cation of the same, for the reason that uu-
der the Constitution, as it now stands the
people of the several States have complete
contol over the question of suffrage, and
the people have not been consulted as to
whether they are willing to part with this
important privilege and in the language of
the platform upon which General Grant
was elected to the presidency, We do in
sist that ''the question of suffrage in all the
loyal States properly belongs to the people
of those States" We, therefore, do most
solemnly demonstrate against the ratifca-
ton of the proposed amendment, known
as Article XIV, by the present Legislature.
Respectfully submitted

Negro Suffrage.

The Harrisburg PdtJiW publishes the fol-
lowing draft of a memorial to the Legisla-
ture protesting against Mr.. Summers pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution, au-
tlferizing negro suffrage regardless of the
well known and expressed wish of large
majority of the people of the country We
have before alluded to this subject, and
wouh again urge upon the citizens of this
State the Importance of moving actively to
avert the nefarious schemes of such fanatics
as Sumner, Wilson, Butler, and other lead
ing Radicals in Congress. Let them rise
in their might and declare i'll no uncertain
tone thus far shall the waves of Radicalism
flow, and no farther. We DO not believe
that the people of Pennsylvania are yet
ready for negro equality and suffrage, and
if they would avert the pending evil they
must meet the issue now, by instructing
their servants in the Legislature not to
ratify the amendment which IS. maturing
under Summers manipulations. In every
county, city, town and village throughout
IIle foligtc Jlle ncllOflal &iOulu lie clfclttu,
or something like it, and thus create pub
lie sentiment which our Legislators cannot

question is no longer one of politics, as be-
tween Democrats and Radicals 1t presents
| an issue on which members of both parties
can stand side by side in defence of the an
cient rights and privileges of the State. Ii
| is a question OF resistance to Il further cen
tralization of power on the part of Congress.
! The amendment proposes to take from the
States the power OF defining the qualifca-
tions for franchise within their borders,
and places it in the hands of an irresponsi
| bic set of men known as the Congress OF
the United States. We trust there will be
prompt awakening to the importance OF
this matter and resort to the proper
measures to defeat the intended usurpatiOn
of the rights of the people of Pennsylvania
