THE FREEMAN. EBEN8 RG, TncnsDA-r, Feb. 4, 18G9. Having been verdant enough to attend a bo called Editorial Convention, held in during the present week, the result is that our paper has been delayed one day In Its publication. We are 6orry that we have no better excuse to offer for the delay, Lot if we ever again fail to issue our paper on tho regular day it will not be because we have been in attendance at so grand a burlesque as the late so called Editorial Convention.

"Ir ever question was settled, it is that the pntion shall enjoy the usufruct of the war. It has been gathering them up one by one by one, but perhaps the weightiest sheaf the harvest re-remnina untouched. The soldiers bore home ward on their bayonets universal suffrage. As an inherent right, it had been bitterly antagonized, und consequently came out of battle the most clearly defined and best established." The above extract from an article In the Philadelphia Frets la a wilful perversion of the truth of history. It is an avowal that the primary object of the government In sup pressing the rebellion was the destruction of slavery and the investment of the negroes of the South with the right of the ballot.

This Is In direct conflict with tho oft repeated declarations of the radical party, and Is at open war with all the public utterances of 1 resident Lincoln, Mr. Seward, and other prominent leaders of that party. We all remember the celebrated Crittenden resolutions, which were introduced into Congress on the wcond day after the fatal disaster at Bull Ran, and unanimously adopted by that body, declaring that the war was not waged by the North against the South for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, but to enforce the laws and maintain the constitution, and that when these objects were accomplished the war should cease without any of the rights of the States boing impaired or destroyed. Without that emphatic declaration by a radical Congress it is morally certain that the ranks of the Union army could never bavo been recruited; the battle of Gettysburg, which -was the turning point in the war, would never have been fought, and tho existence of the Southern Confederacy as a separate and independent power would today bo a fixed act. Supposo tho government la 1801, or at any subsequent period, had put forth the declaration that the object of the war was to destroy slavery and confer tho right of BufTrago upon the 6lavcs, how many Northern men would have iinperrilled their lives in such a cause The preservation of the Union, and that alone, was the inspiring thought that filled up the depleted ranks of the Northern army from the very commencement to the close of the struggle, aud with that object in view it was fought to a successful Issue.

To attribute any other purpose to those who engaged in it is a scandalous libel upon the patriotism of tho army. It was not until two years after the failure of the rebellion that the Idea of negro suf frage suggested itself to the leaders of the radical parly. They knew that tho brains and intelligence of the South would ally themselves with tho Northern democracy, and in order to enable them to retain posces-slon of the government radicalism first enfranchised tho slaves and then sent ita Northern emissaries to the South to instil into the minds of the negroes tho beauties of political and social equajity. Thus fortified by the votes of seven hundred thousand negroes, thv mails their success in the Presidential election absolutely certain by disfranchising, by act3 of Congress and State Legislatures, more than foe hundred thousand irhile men in the Southern States. They did not calculate without their host.

Without the vote of the negroes in tho South Grant would have been defeated. While denying that negro suffrage waa the object of the war we are free to admit that it is about Its only fruit. The union of the States, fraternal peace and concord between the sections, have not been restored under radical rule, nor are they likely to be. Re construction is a failure, and the grand, im posing result of the war is that-in the South seven hundred thousand ignorant negroes are entitled to vote and five hundred thousand Intelligent white men are not. This is the sum and substance, the head and front of all this miserable reconstruction business.

The object of the war has been perverted from its original purposes its fruit has turned to ashes and all this in order that a reckless party might riot in extravagance and cor ruption, and retain the possession of power which otherwise would have been wrested from their faithless hands. Tlie Washington Monument. About eighteen or perhaps twenty years ago, there was laid on the north bank of the Potomac, at Washington city, the corner. tone of a monument to perpetuate the memory of him who is justly styled the "Father of his Country." As Washington, in all the attributes of his character, infinitely excelled the heroes of ancient or modern times, so this proposed monum. rP.

to his memory was to tower far above all other structures which have been roared in honor of any of the patriots, philosophers, or statesmen In the wonu a history. The fund for the construction of the monument was to be drawn from the voluntary contributions of the American people, without any aid, as we recollect, from the general government, although that aid could not have been invoked for a nobler or more patriotic purpose. During a period of ftur or five years tho work progressed slowly but steadily under the sujxrvirlon of a Board of Managera the Mayor of Washington being one of the num. ber. In 1854 or 1855, when that pestilent heresy, Know-Nothingism, became a power in tho land, and especially in the Northern fctat, the control of the municipal affairs of the Capital passed into the hands of that faaatioAl and prescriptive organization.

The king aud potentates of the old world had, from time to time, sent to the Monument Association blocks of marble and other valuable stones, with suitable inscriptions thereon, in order that they might be incorporated in the body of the monument as a tet-tiino-nial of their high admiration and regard for the character of Washington. The several States of the Union, as well as a large number of literary, scientific and benevolent societies throughout the country, sent donations of the same kind. Just about the time to which we have referred the present Pope of Home sent to the Association a block of pure Italian marble, of the most elegant finish, as his humble contribution to the majestic shaft that was to perpetuate the virtue and fame of the great American patriot. In the true spirit of vandalism this block-of marble was mutilated and destroyed by a Know-Nothing mob. Since that time the work on the monument has ceased.

We do not say that the work was suspended because of the destruction of that particular piece of marble, for It could have been replaced. We merely mention tluit and the suspension of tho work as a coincidence of events. Other causes, aside from the intolerant spirit of Know-Nothingism, no doubt contributed to the result. The happening of the war had doubt1 ess much to do with it. We have recently observed that a circular has been Issued by the Board of Managers of the Association, signed by President Johnson, Gen.

Grant, and other prominent public men, recommondios tnat, on the Sunday preceding Me 22Z of February, which ia tho anniversary of Washington's birthday, a collection to be taken up in all the churches of the United States to enable the managers to recommence the work on the monument. It is to be hoped that this recommendation will be carried out. It Is a subject that appeals to the pride as well as to the nobler impulses of every American heart. The monument, in its present unfinished and unsightly shape, is a burning shame and a disgrace to the whole country. Other nations have erected noble and costly monuments in honor of those who have conferred great public benefit upon their country, cither in the field or in the cabinet.

In all the capitals and other large cities of Europe monu ments may be seen, reared at the expense of the nation, to preserve and hand down to posterity tho memory of their most distinguished men. Shall this monumental pile mount towards the skies, or shall it remain in its present unfinished condition, a nestling place for bats and birds of the air, a standing and melancholy evidence of the selfishness and want of patriotic spirit of the American people Surely there is yet left in this boasted country of ours national pride and generous public spirit enough to push to a successful completion this great and noble undertaking to the memory of him who was "first in peace, first in war. and first In the hearts of his countrymen." Let us hope, then, that through the generous liberality of the American people the managers of the Association may be enabled to resume the work on this long neglected monument, and push it to a speedy and successful completion. "Let it rise till it mtet the sun in Its coming let the earliest light of the morning gild it and departing day linger and play on its summit." AW ACT OF INFAMY, At the election held in Missouri two years ago last November Col. Switzler, the democratic candidate, was elected to Congress over radical opponent, Geo.

W. Anderson, in the ninth district. The radical return judges, however, connted Colonel Switzler out, and gave the certificate of election to Anderson. When Congress met In Uecember, iec.7, Col. Switzler went to Washington and contested Anderson's seat.

The matter was referred to the committee on elections, which oonniota of rn radicals and two democrats. After a careful investigation of the case tho committee reported last July that Switzler was legally elected and was entitled to his seat. This ought to have been conclusive. But, on motion of a radical member, the case was referred back to the committee to enquire into and report on Switzler's loyalty. The committee again reported, about ten days ago, that they had discharged that duty that the charge, of disloyalty against Colonel Switzler was untrue and again recommended that he should be sworn as a member.

After all thhi it would be difficult for an honest man to believe that a radical Con gress solemnly voted that Col. Switzler was not entitled to his seat, and that Anderson teas. And yet that act of infamy was done, and Anderson retains the seat to which a committee of his own political party twice decided he was not entitled. If political vil lainy can find a lower depth than this we would like to see the effort made. It make8 all the difference in the world with radical ism as to whose ox Is gored.

This same gentleman. Col. Switzler. was a candidate for Congress last November. Ilis competitor waa a radical named Dyer.

bwitzler was elected by a majority of about seven liundred. But again the radical return judges rejected the voto of two counties in the district, and gave the certificate to Dyer Switzier intends to contest his seat in th next Congress and try his luck once more Ilis is peculiarly a case of tho pursuit of office under difficulties. In connection with this subject we will here add, that although the gallant General James Shields was elected to Congress from the sixth Missouri district last November, by over sis undred majority, he too was counted out by the radical return judges, who re jected the vote of two entire counties. lie has given notice to his opponent, Van Horn, that he will contest his seat. But as Shields was the only Union General who ever de feated Stonewall Jackson in a squar6 fight, afe of the opinion that his victory over -lift i .1 -i i 'wiuwuw leutii win, in a radical view fatal to him and his case.

Pennsylvania pays the postage for its Uouo for 160S 7f Bates' Again. The radicals in the Legislature tave discovered that when they authorized Bates to write a history of the Pennsylvania Volunteers they contracted for a full grown elephant, and are now sorely perplexed to know what to do with it. If they supposed, when they first appropriated twenty-five hundred dollars to Bates, that that amouut would finUh the job. Bates himself took a vory different view of the question, and having written a volume of thirteen hundred pages, what was more natural than that Bates should give it to the printer and the bookbinder. Having once waded into the stream Bates shrewdly suspected that nnder his pilotage they would advance to the opposite shore.

The following debate on this knotty subject took place in the Senate on the 29th of January The Committee on Conference through Mr. Connell, reported that they had settled the differences between the two houses on the question, of ordering copies of Bates' History of the Volunteers nd reported in favor of direct- ing the State Printer to furnish l.bOO copies to the Senate 2,800 to the House 400 to the Governor 100 to the State Library, and 50 to each of the chief clerks of the Legislature, for the officers of the two branches Mr. Fisher thought the matt imHi Mr 0 stead not be resolution of yesterday lo the price to be paid, making contract rates), waa passed. This History would entail an enormous expense on the State, and he regretted that he had last year voted for any appropriation to it. Mr.

Connell said the book bad been already printed. Mr. Davis asked bv whose order. Mr. Connell said he did not know, but the printing expense had already been incurred.

Mr. White said he was anxious to have the record of our soldiers published, but to be true to its determination to practice economy, the Senate should not approve of this great expenditure, without great consideration. Mr. Davis asked who ussu'Jied the responsibility of ordering books to be printed without the knowledge of the Legislature. Mr.

Wallace said tho book was an outrage upon the people, and so far as the printing of it was concerned, if the Legislature did not order it, they should not be called on to shoulder the loss. Mr. Coleman said if the book was ordered, it should be paid for if not ordered, r.ot paid. The resolution was finally postponed for the present. Harrlsburg Correspondence.

Uakbisbukg, Jan. 30, 18G9. Dear Freeman The news here for the last week has not been exciting, the Legislature having been engaged on bills of a local character. There has been no elopements and but little in the gossiping line the last few days. In political circles the Gubernatorial nominations are pretty freely discussed in both I artie3.

It is generally believed that Gov. Genry will be re-nominated by the Radicals, and Gen. Cass appears to have the lead for the Democratic nomination. McCandless, P-cker and Coulter all have their friends, and any one of the four would be a credit to the Commonwealth. It is 'generally supposed the Convention wiil not bo held until May or June.

Prosecutions for Hbel ars becoming very popular. Hon. Charles Kleckner, a member of the House, has prosecuted the editors of the Lancaster Intelligencer for libel. My impression is, Charles will have some difficulty in making his character much better than the'editors have already made it. He is tolerably well known here, and he will certainly have to bring up a delegation from Philadelphia to prove he has a character at all.

Prosecutions for libel have not bean successful as a general thing. Hon. P. Gray Meek, of tho Bellefonte Watchman, went through the mill last week and came out without a scratch. The'editor of the Watchman cannot be frightened out from telliug tho truth by these petty persecutions.

II. Not Entitled but Taid. The case of William M. Bunn. Republican, contesting the seat of Daniel Withara, Democrat, has been decided in favor of Bunn, who is sworn in.

Witham is to bo paid for tho whole sessioD, which is unusual and looks like a anp for his unjust taking off. The following description of the character of the witnesses we find in the Harrisburg Patriot, and, to say the leaot, is! cheerful THE OFFICE TIIIKVE9. Daniel Redding, a fugitive from justice, nnder indictment for the crime of murder, Harry Mitchel, the man who made the return of the Fort Delaware fraud. Rowan, a professional "repeater," now being looked after by tho Philadefphia police, Salvin, another of the same kidney, C. S.

Williams alias Christopher Lamb, who served a term in the Dauphin county jail, and for whom the officers of the law are now looking these are the men upon whose testimony a committee of the House of Representatives are about to cast one of their fellow members from tho seat to which he was honestly elected by a majority of the lawful voters of. tho district. Tho men who dare to deprivo Mr. Daniel Witham of his seat, upon the testimony of these infamous witnesses, are robbers themselves. They may perpetrate the contemplated outrage, they may hope to shield themselves from public scorn by pleading fidelity to their party, but the Radical organization itself as well as its representatives upon this committee, must and will be he'd responsible for this atrocious act.

So far as the Democratic press, the Democratic rostrum, tho Democratic canvass, can publish the hidcouness of this infernal trick, it shail be dinned in the ears of an intuited people until the crime shall be expiated by the popular condemnation of all concerned in it. It is but another club handed us by our political opponents with which to beat out their brains. We shall see that it Do properly used. Ex-Gov. P.

W. Pickens, of South Carolina, died at his home in that State a few days since. He was the grand-son of the famous General Pickens, of revolutionary memory, was a member of Congress during five consecutive terms, was minister to Russia under the administration of Mr. Buchanan and Governor of South Carolina at the breaking out of the war.

Olds, of Lancaster, Ohio, died the other day. from injuries which his health sustained whilst a political prisoner in Fort LaFayette dnrine the Olds was a distinguished and fearless democrat, was a member of Congress for some years from Ohio, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. The Monongahela Republican savs that the account of a great subteranean confla gration, in which the vast bed of coal on the Monongahela and the oil on the Allegheny are threatened with destruction, is without foundation in fact, and asks to sav that the section of country referred to is in "no danger from the great subteranean We are glad to have the authority of tho Republican for contradicting this statement. Tho etory is said to have originated in the Cmcinatti Xem or the Week.

14, HOUSE AND LOT FOR SALEI Mrs. Marv Ownna flrv-. House and Lot tri on IZ? nJi and Mary Ann streets. The HfU8e ha. latf been rebuilt and fitted up with Jl thVtA -improvements Terms nb lnlormatiou apply to uruiar UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD CO, ASD GESTRAL PASinC EAILRQAB EQMP7 FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS.

This creat enterpiae is approachiog coraplo- tion with a rapidity that astonishes the world. Over fifteen (lauu) miles nave been built lv two (2) powerful companies: the Union Pacific Railroad, beginning at Omaha, building west, auu the Central racinc Kaiiroaa. beginning at Sacramento, and building east, until the two roads sh 11 meet. Leas than two hun dred and fifty miles remain to be built. The greater part of the interval is now graded, and ft is reasonably expected that the through connection between San Francisco and York will be completed by July 1.

As the amount ot uoverumeDt aid given to each is dependent upon the length of road each shall build, both compAaiea are prompted to great efforts to secure the construction ai.d 1 3 -1 control oi wnat, wnen completed, win ne oi and the only grand Railroad Line connectirg the Atlantic and PaciSc coasts. One Hundred and Ten Million Dollars in money have already been expended bv the two powerful companies engag-ed ia this "great enterprise, and they will speedily complete the portion jet to be built. Wfcea the United States Government found it necessary to secure the construction of the Pacific Railroad, to develop and protect its own inter-est, it gave the companies, authorized to build it such ample aid as should render it speedy eompletion beyond a doubt. The Oovernmeat aid may be briefly summed up as follows: First. The right of way and all necessary timber, aud stone from public domain.

Second. It makes a oouation of acre of land to the mile, which, when the road is completed, will amount to twenty three mil Lou (23,000,000) acres, and all ol it within twenty (iiO) miles of the raiiroal. Third. It loans the companies fifty million do'dirs ($50,000,0 JO), for which it takes a scond lieu. The Government haa already loniw) the Union Pacific Railroad twenty four milliou and filty -tight thousand dollars and to the Central Pacific Railroad seventeen million six hundred and forty eight tboosand dollars amounting in ail to fortv-one million seven hundred and six thoiw-and'dollars The companies are permitted to thtr own First Mortgage li ads to the same amount as they receive from the United States, and no more- The companies have fold to permanent investors about f) foity million dollars of their First Mortgage BoniLi.

companies have alre-idy paid in (including net earniugsjnot divided, grants from State of California, and Sacramento city and San Francisco,) upwards of twenty-fire milLou dollars of capital stuck. WHAT IS THERE YET TO BE DONE In con idering thin question it must bo remembered that all the remaining iron to finish tli road is contracted for, and the largest pcr-tion paid for and now delivered on the line of the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Pa cific Railroad, and that the grading is alux finished. WHAT RESOURCES II AVE THE COS PANIE3 TO FINISH THE ROAD First. They will recei.e from the Government as the road proreses about anditional. Second.

They can their own First Mortgage Bonds for about additional. Third. T'iO companies low hold almost ait the land they have up to this time received from the Government; upon the completion of the road they will have received in all acres, which at $1.50 per acre wou'I be worth S34.500,fR). In addition to the above tlj net eanir.gs tf the roidi and additional capital, if netrr could be called iu to finish the road. WAY BUSINESS ACTUAL EARNINGS.

Ho one has ever expressed a doubt th.it soon as the road is completed its through will be abundaiitlv prot.iLile.
