CHEATED AT LAST.

There can be no doubt that many
persons voted for L. 5. Grant, because
they believed him moderate and con-
servative, never dreaming that he
would endorse 80 infamous a PROPOSE
tion as the Negro Amendment. He
stood upon the Chicago platform, which
assured the people that in sail the 10y
al States the question of suffrage
should be left to the control Of the peo-
pie. Hence it was fondly imagined by
the credulous fools who could see moth
ing bat Grants shoulder-straps, that
no attempt would be made by him to
force Negro Suffrage upon those States.
But they have been suddenly and rude
" undeceiyed. Grant, in his Inaugural
Address, recommends the ratification
of the Negro Amendment, which not
merely c0nfers suffrage upon the blacks,
bit takes array from the people the right
10 regztiqte aud control tie suffrage CUES
ton for themselves.
Cheated at last ~ was the exclama-
tfon Of a Republican friend of ours, on
reading Grants Inaugural. Many and
many time had ne insisted upon
Grants honesty and conservatism.
Many and many a time had he stoutly
asseverated that the charge that if
Grant were elected, Negro Suffrage
would be forced upon the country, was
only "a copperhead lie" Many and
many time had he pledged his honor
to his Democratic friends to leave the
Radical party and join hands with the
Democracy, whenever the former
would make a voter of the negro. That
time came suddenly on the fourth Of
March. And now he admits that he has
been cheated, and like an honest man,
with his eyes open, he intends hereafter
90 vote the Demoeratic ticket and be
cheated no more.

THE SPRING ELECTIONS.

Democrats are reminded of the I'M
portance of attending the Spring cleo
tions, 50 that bad men may be kept
out of the boards of election officers
and the assessorships, which are potent
machines in the hands Of unscrupulous
politicians. The coming campaign
will be one of unusual interest, as a
Governor, Supreme Judge, and other
important officers are to be chosen.
IF the Democracy are to regain pow
er. they must organize success. We
must begin at the beginning. We
must first win the fight for our local
tickets. then for the State ticket, and
then national triumph will be easily
secured. Let his Commencement be
made nor. Let Democrats renew and
reinvigOrate their organization. Let
none but the best men be nominated
for Office. Put forward the active, the
Jealous, the vigorous, a. your standard
bearers. Reward the faithful and
worthy. Aud then, with good men
and true in the lead, call upon the peo-
pie to follow.
The Spring elections will take place
MARCH THE 18TH. On This day
the radicals Of this county will, also,
hold their nominating election. By
this trick they hope 10 get ont their entire
U0ts and thus to catch the Democrats
mapping. We say to our friends, Be
on your guard Turn ont to the elec-
tion, and do not permit the enemy to
steal a march upon you.

THE CABINET.

General Grant has appointed the fol-
lowing persons members of his cabinet.
Their names were sent to the Senate
on Friday last, and they were inn
mediately confirmed:
Secretary of State-E!ihu B. Wash
burne, of Illinois.
Secretary of the Treasury-Alex. L.
Stewart, Of New York.
Secretary of the Navy-Adolph Il.
Borie, of Philadelphia.
Secretary of the Interior-J. ID. Cox,
of Ohio.
Postmaster General-John A. j.
CressWell, of Baltimore.
Attorney General-E. b. Hoar, Of
Massachusetts.
General Schofield, Secretary of War
in the cabinet of President Johnson, re-
tains his position. .....
This announcement will fill the
country with astonishment. There is
not member of this cabinet who has
ever given any sign Of ability or states
manship, except Schofield. The mex
perience and mediOcrity Of Grant are
unrelieved by these oddly-assorted adj
visers, with whom he has surrounded
himself. Had the names been promul-
gated one month ago, they would have
sunk beneath the cDntemptuous criti-
cism of the independent portion of the
radical press, and Grant would have
been compelled in Difference to the
clamors of his party to change his pro-
gramme. It was dread Of this, per-
haps, that led him to keep the names
of his cabinet ministers profound
secret TO the last hour.

THE CURTAIN RISES.

The long agony is over. The new
cabinet is announced.
The quiet mountain so long IA labor,
amid much smoke, has brought forth a
litter of ridiculous mice.
Shades of Webster and Marcy and
Cass, what a cabinet!
E. B. WAsHBURNE, the refinement
of stupidity, the butt of Donnelly, the
laughing-stock of the whole country,
Secretary of State
A. T. STEWART, a New York haber-
dasher, who knows as much about the
department of finance as a lap-dog does
about the trail Of a fox, Secretary OF
the Treasury!
ADoLPH E. BoRIE, who in the
name of all the jack tars that ever reef
ed a sail is he ?-Secretary of the Ma
Wy.
J. A. ]. CREsswELL, a Maryland
politician, who made a secession speech
in 1861, and afterwards purchased re-
cognition from the radicals by swaI-
lowing his own vomit, Postmaster
General.
J. D. Cox. x-Governor of Ohio, not
bad sort Of a man, but whose intel
lectual brilliancy will never set the Po-
tofnac afre, Secretary of the Interior
Z. B. HoARE, of Massachusetts, an
eminent mediocrity, Attorney General!
Well.
We cannot do justice to the subject.
VIII not Col. Mcclure lend US a few ad-
jectives? E? We shall have to wait till We
can borrow some expletives from our
radical friends. Meanwhile we are of
the opinion that this cabinet is bound to
sink Mr.. Grants ship, with its whole
radical crew. The Great Eastern would
60 to the bottom with such a load as
Washburne, Stewart, Borie, and Cress-
well on board. Ulysses is in deep water
with rocks and shoals in his course,
the wind yeering round to blow right
in his teeth, and with pilots totally ig-
norant and utterly regardless of that
chart by which alone the ship of state
can be steered in safety, the Federal
Constitution. No wonder he asks ''the
prayers of the nation ~

INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF PREST-
DENT GRANT,
WASHINGTON, March, 4.

WASHINGTON, March, 1.
The following is the inaugural adj
dress of General Grant:
Citizens Of The United States: Your suf-
frage having elevated me to the office
of President of the United States, /
have in conformity with the cOnstitu-
tion of our country, taken the oath Of
office prescribed therein. have taken
this oath without mental reservation
and with the determination to do to the
best of my ability all that it requires
of me. The responsibilities OF the po-
sition feel, but accept them without
fear. The office has come to ne un-
sought. / commence its duties un-
traInmeled. | bring to it conscien-
tious desire aud determination to fill it
to the best Of my ability and to the sat
isfaction of the people Oh all lead
ing questions agitating the public
mind. will always express my views
to Congress and urge them according
to my Judgment, and when | think it
advisable will exercise the Censtitu-
tional privilege of interpOsing a veto
to defeat its measures which | oppose,
but all laws will be faithfully execu-
ted, whether they meet my approval
or not. ] shall on all subjects have a
policy to recommend, but none to en-
force against the will Of the people.
Laws are to govern all alike-those
opposed to as well as those who favor
them. know no method to secure
the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so
effectively as their stringent execution.
The country having just emerged from
a great rebellion, many questions Will
come up before it for settlement in the
next four years which preceding ad-
ministrations have never had to deal
with. In meeting these, is desirable
that they should be approached calm
ly, without predjudice, hate or section
al pride, remembering that the great
est good to the greatest number is the
object to be STAINED. Tnis requires Sc
curlty of person, property and religious
and political opinion in every part OF
our common country, without regard

GOLD for the Bond holders, is Grants
doctrine. The public debt must be
paid in gold. Well, if Mr.. Grant can
find the bullion to do it with, we have
no objection, surely. But there is
scarcely so great fool outside of the
lunatic asylum as thinks that specie
enough can be obtained by the gov
ernment in a hundred years to pay off
the debt. Meanwhile, the Bond-hold-
er gets his gold, but the rest of man
kind must put up with greenbacks,
and limited quantity OF those.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1869-03-12

GRANTS GIFT ENTERPRISE.-No
gift enterprise in the country has ever
paid as we'll as that of Grant. Stewart
may be put down as one of the luckiest
dealers who have ever invested in fancy
stocks. He put in share Of house
and lot, and dreY the whole Treasury.
Borie headed similar subscription,
and drew the Office of Secretary of the
Navy. Washburne fOE three years
tOadying has been made Secretary of
State. This beats Perham and the
Crosby Opera House lottery all to
:,

THE United States Senate, just at
the close of the Fortieth Congress, con-
firmed John P. O'Neill, Esq. Of Phila-
delphia, as United States District At
torney for the Eastern District of Penn
svlvania. We know Mr.. O'Neill to be
a gentleman ofculture, an able lawyer
and a first rate democrat. President
johnson did himself credit and the
country a service in the appointment
of Mr.. O'Neill.

GOOD

The radicals in the Indiana legisla-
ture undertaking to force the suffrage
amendment through that body, the
democratic members Of both Houses at
once resigned! This action of the dem
ocrats leaves the legislature without a
quorum and defeats action upon the
amendment. This will probably kill
it. The democrats of the Indiana leg
islature are made of the right kind Of
material
