New Mexico.

The necessary legislative steps are about
to be taken by the present Radical Con-
gress for the admission of New MEXICO into
the Union as State. This practice of erect
ing new States out of sparsely populated
territories is one that is more honored in the
breach than in the observance. Although
the political power of the country is fast
gravitating from the east to the compara-
lively young but energetic west, it does not
follow, either as matter of public policy or
justice, that all of our thinIy peopled terri
tories ought at once to be raised 10 the
power and dignity of States.
We believe that Stephen A. Douglas ad-
hered to the opinion, that no territory ought
to be admitted as State until it had popu-
lAtion enough, under the then existing ratio
of representation, to entitle it to elect men,
Der of Congress. We regard even this rule
as concecing entirely too much. although far
more just and honest than the indecent haste
which has of late years been displayed in
reference to the subject.
In order to perpetuate their power. the

WHAT PLEBIsCITE Is.-One of the edi-
tors of the New Orleans Times las received
a business letter, of which the following is
a Uer6atiha copy:
NEW ORLEANS, April q, 1870.
'tDEAR N.-Inclosed find $40. What the devil
is Plebiscttc2 Yrs, languidly, j. C.-++ "
Measuring our correspondents anxiety by
his liberaiity, both gratitude and compass
sion prompt an early reply. Having once
passed through similar condition of men,
tai exhaustion in endeavoring to compre-
hend the "Schleswig Holstein question" )" we
can feel for our friends dazed condition over
the PlebiScite," and shall therefore proceed
to answer.
"plebiscite" is a thing only few "fel-
lers" can understand. You see. when in the
course of human events, the polity of gov
ernment in its transcendental relations with
the political economies of State becomes
imbued with the sprectral analysis of abnor-
NAL influences. infringing uRon the perpetui
ty of institutions at once nugatory to the
obtruse interests of theocracy, why then, a
decent respect for the opinions of mankind
requires the PRONUNCIATION of popular ana
lytical manifesto in which In
short n "plebiscite' is plainly "plebiscite:''
or in other words. it is French for "Shoo
fly, don't bodder me-" There

I'ershing--MsLaughlin.


The delectable controversy between these
two gentlemen is in all probability at an end,
and, after all. the angry discussion has only
disclosed single weakness on each side
and here they are:
Pershing's mistake is given at the head Of
B'Laughlin's letter "Ou this subject you
must get all the light you can, and then
vote as your conscience tells.you is right"
Persh:Dg was in favor of submitting the
question of removal to vote, and so inform
ed Mr.. Schnatterly, to whom the letter was
written. 1t was the letter of one high. mind
ed Democrat to another high-minded Demo>
crat, neither of whom would, under any
circumstances, vote contrary to the dictates
of consciencel But voting 'ss your con-
science tells you is right is just what Mr.
Mclaughlin and bis friends did not want,
and therefore Pershing made mistake.
McLaughlin's mistake was in opening q
sealed private letter. How a professional
man could SO far forget himself as to do an
act which the poorest farmer OF laborer in
Cambria county would scorn to do, is pass
ing strange! Whatever weakness caused it,
he and every friend be has, if indeed he can
haveaDy left, viii regret it as long as he
lives. He ought not To attempt to paliiate
II. for it is fnexcusable. Indeed. we feel
sura that this is what has oausen him to lose
his temper and wander from tho subject 50
often during the discussion.
This is all there is in this long wiDded
controversy. and we trust for the credit of
both parties that it is dead:beyOnd ell hope
OF resurrection.

ZAcHARIAH SNYDER, alias John Deal
was yesterday hung at Reading Pa, for
the murder of Richard Harlan. in October
last, near Leesport. The murder was COM
mitted in drunken frenzy, and the murderer
was an old offender who had served several
terms in prison. 1t is therefore little sur
prisiug that he did not profess, while on
the scaffold. the customary certainty of
Immediately going to Heaven, which the
most atrocious criminals uniformly profess
to feel in like situation. He remarked
to his confessor that he did not fear death
nor the devil, but that be did fear God
Most murderers profess to be oI the most
familiar terms with the Deity, and proclaim
in their dying moments that they have re-
ceived from him a special revelation assur-
ing them of pardon and of happy immor>
tality. The poor wretch Deal is the first
murderer of whom we have lately heard
who had the grace to confess that he feared
the judgment Of a just God.-N. Y. World,

Radical leaders in Congress are determined
to bring into the Union as State, any ter
ritory that gives promise of voting the Rad
ical ticket. They made two determined
efforts in that direction with COLORADO, that
has never polled more than 8 200 votes, and
were only foiled in their efforts by the prompt
and effectual use of the veto power by An
drew johnson. In 1864 they admitted Ne
vADA as State, for the sole reason that her
vote might aid in the election of LINCOLN.
At the election in November Of that year
the total vote cast in the State was Is ,420,
and at the Presidential election in 1868, four
years after wards. it was only 1,69S, Show
ing decrease Of nearly 5000 votes. Take
the case of NEW MEXICO. In 1867 that ter
ritory cast II ,685 votes, and in 1869, at the
election for DELEGATE to Congress, the entire
vote was only 14,467, or 6,21s less than it
was two years before-thus showing that
the territory is actually decreasing in popu-
laton. And yet it is in contemplation by
Congress to perpetrate a gross act Of treach,
cry Yards the people of the United States,
eighth part of the entire political power of
this great republic. Is it right, is it just,
TO coLfer on these IA ,467 voters in NEW
MEXICO, many of them half-breed Indians,
of the United States, thus giving them the
same weight in that body that is now exer-
cised by New York or Pennsylvania 2 The
outrrge in admitting New MEXICO would
not be any greater than the admission of
MONTANA with her $3.50 votes-WAsHISG-
TON with her s. 5.339-IDAHo with her 1920
-WYoMINe with her 5,266, or DAKOTA
with her $3.50 votes. The Justice in the
case of either of the latter territories is quite
as apparent as in the case of New MEXICO,
that only polls 1. 481 votes over double the
number cast in Cambria county at the last
Presidential election.
If the country had President who was
not notoriously incompetent for the position
he occupies, this great fraud upon the larger
States of the Union could never be CON-
summated but as Grant has shown himself
to be mere instrument for registering the
DEGREES of Congress, no obstacle will be in
terposed from that source. If it is once set
tied in Congressional caucus, that Pando
ra's box from which has proceeded all the
curses in the shape of Radical legislation
that have afflicted the country for the last
four years, that there exists party necessi-
ty for the admission of New MEXICO, the
villainous scheme will be carried through,
regardless of any objections that may be
urged against SO palpable wrong.

HORRIBLE AND F1END,sH oure.ar :,

HORRIBLE AND FIENDIsH OUTRAGE IN
KAEsAs-Pfonpt and Me1Ited Retri6ution
An account of the most diabolical affair
ever recorded is published in the Fort Scott
Monitor Of the 18th inst. On Tuesday seven
men, either Texans or struggling outlaws
from the Indian Territory, came to the town
of Ladore, few miles south of here After
drinking all day, they went to the boarding
house of j. h. Roach and asked to stay all
night. Being refused on account of their
drunken condition, one of the party knocked
Roach insensible with a revolver, and they
went to the bed occupied by the two daugh-
ters of Roach, aged twelve and fourteen
years, and ravished them during the entire
night, using knives to accomplish their pur-
poses. Roach revived after a time. but
feared TO stir, knowing that he would be
killed if he did so. He describes the cries
and entreaties of the girls as heart-rending.
quarrel arose among the demons, and one
was shot dead while satisfying his lus:. At
day-broak the party fed, one taking with
him to the woods the youngest girl The
town was Immediately aroused. and parties
started in every direction in search of the
hends. This one with. the girl was soon
overtaken and hung to a tree. Two others
were found secreted in the town and were
hung to the same tree and the remaining
three were also captured. and two of them
were hung. The other at the last accounts
was in custody of the citizens, but will prob
ably share the fate of his companions The
universal verdict here is that in this in
stance. at least, the summary manner of
lnnicting punishment is entirely justified.

JOHN CovoDE, As SEEN by Don P,Arr

JOHN CoynDE, AS SEEN BY Don PIATT.-
John Covode is one of the stock clowns of
the lower body of the National Legislature,
as Drake is Of the Senate. Covode is a
mixture of Scotch, Irish and Pennsylvania
Dutch, and he resembles an army mule in
his carriage, bray, propensity to pull in the
Party team, and occasionally to kick up his
heels for recreation. He is cunning, with>
out pride or concern for personal dignity or
honor, rich by strategic approaches, and
politics is as much 4 business with him as
breeding stock or keeping shop. He has no
abstract idea of power, or fame, or anything
which imaginative people suppose would be
apt tc make man wish to sit in the Con-
gress of the United States !; for he belongs to
rundown Commonwealth where the high
est ideal of the nation is that it is sort of
Indians stew-pot, where all the States sit
round flashing out benefits and savory NOR
sels with their fingers. John Covode grew
up dirty aud course on purpose to qualify
himself for this general grab. He can run
his arm down lower, hook out more fat and
noctueus pieces, and digest them upon a
more omniverous and cast iron stomach than
Spotted Tail, or Hole-in-the- Day, or any
other well-bred savage familiarly knewn 20
the Indian agents in the lower story of the
Patent Office building. WheE you come to
craftsmanship as fine art, Covode's PROPOSE
tion is that it consists in personal sense,
of putting as little into the pot as possible,
making the numeratOr small and the de-
nominator almighty He would have thrown
in, had he been one of Macbeth's witches,
the smallest might of disappearing Jews,''
and hooked out the whole "maw and gulp"
of the shark. He holds his seat in the pres
ent Congress by the tenure of partisan in JUS
tice, having been beaten in the most mani
fest manner by Henry D. Foster, but given
the seat by partisan committee and vet
