JOHN CEssNA-the Hon. John-who
wasn't elected to Congress by 1000
majority, rs he used TO boast he would
be. came out fat-footed in the radical
meeting, on Tuesday night, for the
Congressional plan of thanking the
people by forcing Negro Suffrage upon
the "Ioyal states through the agency
of the legislatures already elected. He
said that "RepubIicans would send Ne
groes to Congress before Shannon and
Meyers would get there" No doubt
OF it. They have already sent one
with q white skin.

NATIONAL BANKs.-The House
Committee on Banks and Banking
have under discussion two plans for
furnishing national bank circulation to
those sections of the country now des-
titute of it. One Of them proposes a
reduction of all the existing national
banks Is per cent, which will give
24,0O0, 900 for these localities. The 9TH
er is to limit the circulation of all ma
tional banks to ! ,000, 900, which will give
S11 900, 600; and this will probably be
adopted by the committee, as it will
favor the small banks at the expense
of the larger ones.-Nationat Hatelti-

a TRICK.

The Radicals have fixed the time for
holding their primary election for the
nomination ofcounty candidates upon
the day on which the spring elec-
tions will be held. This was done in
order to get out full vote to the spring
elections, so as to secure Judges Of Elec-
ton, Assessors, and other township Of
ficers. They hope to catch the Demo-
Gratis mapping. We take occasion to
warn our friends throughout the cOun-
ty against this trick of the enemy.
See that the full Democratic vote is al
so brought out at the spring elections.

ARREsTED.-As the Emigrant train
halted at the depot, in this place, on
Saturday afternoon, Constable Lutz ap-
peared with a warrant to arrest a
man named Funk, charged with rob-
bing the store of Mr.. Reach, at Blair
Furnace. Funk, who was on the train,
observed the Constable, and at once
gave leg bail. After a considerable
chase and kicking up quite an excite
ment, he was 0verhauled and taken
before Alderman Mccormick, who up
on evidence presented, required him to
give bail, in the sum of $500 for his ap-
pearance on Monday last.-AHOOna

CONGRESSIONAL.
WAsuINGToN, February S.

WASIINGT0N, February ..
In the Senate, Mr.. Wilson, from the
committee on militry affairs, reported
adversely on the joint resolution pro-
viding that the grades of general
and lieutenant general and admiral
shall cease when vacated by the pres
ent' occupants. After the transaction
of some other business and the intro
duction of bills, with appropriate re-
ference, the proposed constitutional
amendment in relation to universal
suffrage was taken up and discussed
until the honr of adjournment.
In the House a large number of bills
were introduced and referred. The
Senate's amendments To the copper
tariff bill, after some debate, were a.
greed to.
WASHINGTON, February 8.
The proposed constitutional amend
ment, providing for universal suffrage,
occupied most of the attention of the
Senate yesterday. and finally passed
with an important amendment.
In the House an interesting debate
occurred on the bill to authorize the
construction of a military and postal
railroad between Washington and New
York.
WAsHTNGTON, Feb. 10.
The two houses met in joint conven-
tion to-day to count the vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President Of the United
States. The ceremony attracted large
crowd to the galleries. Some objection
was made to the counting of the vote
of Louisiana, but it was finally decided
that it should be counted. The vote of
Georgia was next objected to in the
House, and quite an exciting scene en-
sued, the objection being that the State
had not complied with the rec0nstruc-
ton laws. Finally the House, by a
vote of $50 to Al, decided that the vote
of the State should not be coun. ed
The electoral votes of the other States
were then announced, and General
Grant was formally declared to be the
President elect for four years, and the
Hon. Schuyler ColfaX the Vice Presi-
dent for the same period. Ajoint COM
mittee was then appointed to inform
the two gentlemen of the fact.
In the Senate, Mr.. White presented
the credentials Of the Hon. VIM. T.
Hamilton, the now Senator elect from
Maryland, whose term commences on
the 4th of March.
WASHINGTON February, 10.
In theSenate naturalization bills We're
introduced and a new constitutional a
medment giving Congress the power
to establish a tribunal TO determine
the validity Of the electoral vote Of
any State for President
In the House a bin was passed to pay
the late United States consul at Mata-
moros, Mexico, 81, ,843 in gold expen-
ded by him during the rebellion in
aiding Union men to escape from Tex
as. A bill was passed regulating the
reports of the national banking associ-
ations, requiring them to be made
monthly and every half year. Also
one prohibiting national banks from
certifying checks where they have
not deposits Of the parties covering the
amount. A bill was passed to prevent
national banks loaning money with
United States or national bank notes
as collateral security. Mr.. Hooper's bill
to prohibit the further increase of the
public debt was called up and passed.

DIVIDED.
disgrace

That the Radical or Republican"
party is greatly divided on the subject
Of Negro Suffrage, is very evident
The masses of the party are at heart
opposed to the amendment to the Con-
stitution by which the people of the
States are to be defrauded of their
right to settle the suffrage ques-
ton for themselves. This feeling had
expression in the L. S. Senate, the
other day, when the amendment passed
that body. Messrs. ANTHONY and
SPRAGUE, of Rhode Island, EDMUNDs,
of Vermont, FOWLER, of Tennessee,
GRIMES, of Iowa, and CoRBETT, of
Oregon, coted against the amendment.
This is encouraging.

a Row XmoxG rmE RADICALS.

On Tuesday night of last week, there
was a meeting Of the Radical party at
the Court House. The usual ''hat,
stale and Improbable" speeches were
gotten off, and, the Inquirer informs
US, one of them was a powerful de-
runciation of Copperheadism and
sca;hing review of the record Of the
party Doubtless.
This meeting endorsed Negro Suf-
frage in the resolutions which it adopt
ed. 1t also denounced -\ndrew john
son. 1t even went so far as to recon-
mend the denomination Of Gov. Geary.
But the great question, the over-shad-
dowing issue, before the meeting, was,
Shall the Bedford Inquirer, or the
Bloody Run Press, or both, be consid-
cred the organ or organs of the party?
A resolution ncomplimentingt the Press
as an able exponent of the principles u
of the radical party, had been sent to
the committee on resolutions. This
was intended merely as a recogni-
ton of the services of the Press, but
Bro. Lutz thought he saw snake in
it which might sting him almost as
hard as a ''copperhead." Being a
member Of the committee on resolu-
tions, he fought it with all that awful
savageness for which he is 50 greatly
distinguished. The resolution was lost
by vote in the committee.
Mr.. Elliott, of the Press, however,
was not satisfied with the disposition
made of this res olution by the commit
tee. He determined that the matter
should be brought before the meeting.
Hr. Hall, who is a kind Of a factotum
for Elliott, then offered a resolution
recognizing both papers as organs Of
the party, which was unanimously a
greed to. This was, of course, perfect
ly satisfactory to the friends of the
Press, as it gave them what they de-
sired, a recognition Of their paper as
an organ Of the party. Their victory
was complete.
We offer our sincere coincidence to
our neighbor Lutz. He has been shah
billy treated. Mr.. Longenecker was
"heartily endorsed" Notwithstanding
the thrusts lately given him in the IN
quirer the credulous radicals were con-
graduated upon the election of John
Scott to the United States Senate, not
withstanding the wry faces of the edi-
tor Of the Inquirer and, grossest insult
of all, the Bloody Run Press was de-
clared to possess the affections Of the
radicals of the county in an equal de-
gree with the Bedford Inquirer. But
what else can be expected of that 'old
Democratic element" which, failing
to rule in the heaven of Democracy,
was kicked into the Hades of Radical
ism? Old Wings like Mr.. Lutz are
not at all sacred in its eyes. The only
way to satisfy it, is to give it all the fat
offices and let it control the party for
its own particular uses. Can't Mr.. Lutz
''see it?"
The trouble between the Inquirer and
Press factions threatens TO become Sc
rious. The dirty lipen of the leaders
on either side, was only partially wash
ed on Tuesday night. The soft soap of
the Hall resolution will hardly cleanse
it. At any rate it will require some
ventilation before it can be quietly
slowed away. 1t was very fowl the
other night, and has raised quite stink
in radical circles. "An ounce of civet,
good apothecary !"

THE NeC York Tribune says the rea-
son why Plantation Bitters are so gen
orally used is owing to the fact that
they are always made up to the origi-
nal standard, and pure material, let
the price be what it will. The ITib-
a0,e just hits the nail on the head, for
Plantation Bitters are not only made
of pure material, but the people are
told what they are made of, as the re-
cipe is wrapped around each bottle.
Don't go home withouta bottle.
