Loyal MEN MUST RULE.

The work of Reconstruction in the South
shows the spirit Of Rebellion to be stil
smouldering in the hearts of the former
rebels. In the hope Of controlling the work
of reconstruction they have pro.essed an
acquiescence in the legislation of Congress
and an acceptance Of the results Of the war.
but their hypocrisy has been so glaring and
their efforts to intimidate and drive from
the polls all, both white and black. who
will not vote with them, so persistent, in
Virginia and Tennessee, that the President
has felt called upon to reiterate the deel,r,-
ton of his inaugural, that the laws Of t,on-
gress must be enforced and the fifteenth
amendment made the basis of reconstruc-
ton. By their false professions the South
eEn conservatives have forfeited public con
hdenee' Their hypocrisy has greatly re-
tarded the work Of reconstruction. and
demonstrated the fact that it can only be
entrusted to loyal men. 1t had b.ap mu,b
better for the peace and prosner;ty If tba
South if the so-caIled conservatives had
made DO profession Of loyalty Their bad
faith has greatly complicated the situation
When class Or party has once demonstra-
ted the fact that their promises and profss.
sions cannot be relied upon, it requires a
long time to restore confidence in any spb.
sequent declarations they may make. The
conservatives have evidently made this mis-
take, But one course now seems to remain
ny which any speedy reconstruction Of the
south can be accomplished. The work
must be confded to the hands Of those
whose record Is untarnished and whose loy-
ATTY mas never wavered Henceforth 20 the
tue Omon men alone the work OF recon.
struction must be entrusted. ToyoI men
must rule, until conservative rebels learn
wisdom by further experience IF hence
forth members Of unreconstrueted State
legislatures are met With the iron-elad
oath they can console themselves ,yitb ~
reflection that their own dishonesty and IN.
tolerance IS bearing its legitimate fruit ir
their cases. Honesty on their part would
have caused the laws Of Congress to be leni
emily construed and enforced. Their qlar
ing bad faith demands strict construction
and rigid enforcement Of those laws whicl
they are now likely to receive at the hand.

French AMNESTY. The French Empe-
ror celebrated the anniversary Of the hun
dredth birthday Of Napoleon first by issning
q decree Of full and complete amnesty to
press and political offenders, to persons con
yicted Of evasion Of taxes, deserters from

merchant marine who have abandoned their
ships. Whether this act Of amnesty is 10

TIE cry or sToP THIEF


Most people are familiar with the prac-
tiee Of thieves, when caught in the act, Of
running into the crowd and themselves ta-
king up the cry of stop Thief" in order
to ward off suspicion. The Harrisburg Pa
tl7ot has been engaged in this kind Of work
for week or two past. Having no record
Of its own party but stealing, it concluded
to try to ward off suspicion BY charging the
Republican party with dishonesty in the
appropriation Of the State funds. The Ga
zette of last week took up the refrain and
echoed andre echoed the falsehood of the
Patriot. The whole charge is so weak, fool
ish and utterly without foundation that one
would have supposed that even the fellows
who scribble for the GaseRe would have
detected the cheat Of the Patriot 1t is
simply this. they take the gross receipts
into the State Treasury for two years,
making a h,tle ever eleven millions Of
dollars and deducting the amount Of the
state debt paid off in two years, find
that there would be about seven millions
Of dollars left. Without stopping to con
sidsr the appropriations and expenses for
two years they straightway ask "What has
become Of the seven milIions?' p They
make no allowance for the necessary expens-
cs Of carrying on the state government, the
salaries of the Governor, and other state off
GERS, the Judges of the Supreme Court, the
payment Of interest on the state debt, the
appropriations for our Common Schools,
our Agricultural Schools, our Soldiers Or
| pban School and other charitable institu-
tins, the improvements and care of the
capital buildings, aud grounds, &C. The
merest simplcton knows that ali these ag-
/ gregate millions each year. The interest
paid on the state debt in those two year.
exceeded four and half millions, leaving
according to their own figures only about
tive and half millions for all other pur.
poses. The wonder is, not where did
the money go, but how did the Repub
lic2ns manage to carry on the Government
so economically and appropriate 50 much tc
the reduction Of the State Debt. Wbai
did coppe,heqds pey of tie State deJt Al
the rate Of TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A
YEAR? Why don't the Patriot and Ga
sette tell Us about that? Why don't they
tell the people that under Democratic con
troll the State debt was never paid at all but
increased each year until it exceeded FORTY
MILLIONS? Why don't they tell the peopl.
that, 10 less than ten years, in spite of a
copperhead rebellion, the Republican party
have paid off TWENTY MILLIONS Of the State
debt and released all the Real Estate of the
State from TAXEs? Why don't they tel
these things FOR which they can easily fn5
the figures instead of heaping up falshhoodt
that the meancst tyro can detect and ex
pose? Why don't the Gazette give its at
tenton to the county finances? Why don
it call attention to the $4,000 missing from
the Poor House Treasury a year or two ago
/ Surely il has enough to do to take care o
the finances at home? How about tha.

How about the present Poor House i'm

ANYTHING is better than nothing seems
to be the motto of ambitious copperheads.
Asa Packer would be candidate for Presi
dent Of the United States last year is quite
willing to accept nomination for Governor
of Pennsylvania this year George II.
Pendleton candidate for the Vice Presidency
in 1864 and ignominiously beaten, is quite
willing to accept the second hand nomina-
ton for Governor of Ohio. Truly these
ambitious copperheads must be desperately
sick for Office After being soundly beaten
this year we expect to see them out for
something lower down They may perhaps
find berths yet as aldermen or something
less, but their chances are small.

The REPUDIAToRs.- nomination of
Reputation Pondleton in Ohio reveals the
meaning Of Rosecrans oracular utterance
about his family and creditors. He was ev-
identity afraid his salary would not be paid.
If Rosecrans showed so much caution
that be would not trust the Democracy,
even bearing gifts, would it not be prudent
for all holders of national currency or United
States bonds to vote against Pendleton, or
any other Democratic candidate?
A corollary reflection for Pennsylvania /
It's not known that Asa Packer holds a

that he did not lend the Government dol

Every eating house visitor of this city and
other leading cities of the Union has doubt
less noticed a small tumbIer of wooden tooth
picks upon the counter of the cashier, for
the use Of customers. These toothpicks are
a good feature of the present day. The
wooden toothpicks have to a considerable
extent superseded the gold, horn, ivory and
other articles of the kind formerly in use.
Their manufacture is carried On by but one
establishment, which has been in operation
four years Itis near Boston, and employs
thirty hands Of both sexes The machinery
has been patented, and is propelled by water
power The woods used are maple and
willow The agency is solely in Boston,
and all purchases for use elsewhere must be
made there. The toothpicks are packed In
paste board boxes Of two sizes One box is
three inches long, by two wide and one
deep. 1t contains three hundred and sells
for six cents. The other eneloses twenty
five hundred, and is five inches long, three
wide and three deep The boxes are packed
in wooden cases for shipment, or retailed in
the city singly by the carriers. The sales
are qnite large, and amount at times to for
ty and fifty cases a day, each containing one
hundred thousand toothpicks The aggre-
gate number sold, therefore, amounts in
that period to four or five millions
