Impeachment Squelched
(Column 01)Summary: Tells how a new move for impeachment was defeated in the Reconstruction Committee by none other than Republicans. Quotes Stevens in saying it marks the defeat of the Radicals and also outlines the errors Grant made in colluding with Radicals. Ends by predicting the imminent defeat of Radicals in the next elections.
Full Text of Article:Hancock and GrantThe Reconstruction Committee met last week to make another effort at impeachment. The arch-agitator, Thaddeus Stevens, submitted a report, declaring it as the opinion of the Committee, "that Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors," and insisting upon his arraignment at the bar of the Senate, to be tried for the same. We give here, the proceedings of the committee, as related by the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Morning Post, (Radical) and call special attention to the speech of "The Great Commoner."
After some conversation on the subject, Judge Bingham moved to lay it on the table, which was carried by the following vote; Yeas--Bingham, Paine, Beaman, Hubbard, Brooks and Beck. Nays--Stevens, Boutwell and Farnsworth. Before the vote was taken, Paine, who was in favor of Impeachment last year, attempted to dodge the vote and, as he was moving to the door to go out, Stevens called to him: "Stop, Paine; you have got to face the music!" Paine hesitated; when Stevens said, "Clerk, put him down against impeachment."
Mr. Stevens, after the vote was declared, said:
SIR: The Republican party has been killed to-day by the action of this Committee at the instance of General Grant and his friends. I have found that for the last two or three days, the men who shouted the loudest, and threw their hats the highest, for U.S. Grant, have been using every exertion to influence against Impeachment the other members of this committee who were supposed to favor it; that Grant has been using his influence everywhere to defeat the scheme, and that Andrew Johnson has to thank the General that he remains undisturbed in the White House. I have been in public life for forty years, and though I do not pretend to any gift of prophecy, I have seldom been mistaken in any political predictions. I now tell you that to-day's cowardly action will cost us New York, Pennsylvania, and probably three or four other Northern States."
With what a lordly air does the old man crack his whip over the head of the timid, dodging Paine! And how, with bold, prophetic voice, does he foretell the overwhelming defeat of the Radical party. He sees the hand-writing on the wall, distinct as that which startled Belshazzar in the midst of his drunken orgies, and he does not hesitate to interpret it. But on whom does he cast the blame? On poor Grant. Eviscerated by the President, despised by all men who hate double-dealing, the General is now kicked when he is down, in the very house of his friends, and that too, by the great Mogul of the Radical party. Did ever man commit a greater error than he, when he sought to exchange the lucrative position in which he was honored by the whole nation--where he could smoke his eternal cigar in peace and quiet--for the Presidential chair, whose multitudinous vexatious cares, and weighty responsibilities, produce endless disquiet in the mind of its occupants? An error--because he has become the mere toy of designing, selfish politicians. An error--because he has thus brought his character for veracity into question, with the odds fearfully against him.
An error--because the veil has been lifted from his intemperate habits, exposing him to public ridicule and contempt. An error--because he has been compelled into insubordination to his superior officer. An error--because he has thrown himself open to the charge of cherishing the ambition to fill a position, which nobody asserts, or believes is, his competency to fill.
An error--because he has, according to the statement of Mr. Stevens, insured the defeat of the Radical organization, whose cause he has shown himself so anxious to promote.
For the last reason, we can pardon his error, but it is none the less an error on his part. He will find the road to the Presidency a very rough one. It is beset with thorns and brambles. He will be wise, if he hauls off from the race.
And so, the impeachment humbug is again exploded. The Radicals have again acknowledged that the President is not guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.--Meanwhile, the people are getting ready to hurl these impeachment agitators from their places. God speed the day.
(Column 01)Summary: The paper criticizes Grant for suspending an order of General Hancock removing seven black and two white members of the New Orleans City Council. "By the way, think of seven members of the New Orleans City Council being negroes. Truly this is a progressive age, and the 'cullud bredern' are a progressive people. White people are 'not worth shucks' any more."Refreshing
(Column 02)Summary: Responds to an article in a Republican newspaper about a lynching in Kentucky in a very sarcastic manner. Details black crimes committed against whites and claims they will only get worse.
Full Text of Article:The Grant-Johnson CorrespondenceA colored girl, thirteen years old, was hung last week at Newcastle, Kentucky, for killing a white child. Yet the Kentucky papers say "everything went off with much propriety." When will these outrages cease?--Phila'd. Morning Post.
Hang a black girl for killing a white child? Shameful. "When will these outrages cease?" In this enlightened land, when all power is being placed in the hands of the colored race, stretch a negro's neck for letting out the life-blood of "the white trash?" Infamous. "When will these outrages cease?"
In this progressive age, when the hitherto down-trodden African is assuming his rightful place as the equal of the Anglo-Saxon in every sphere of life, inflict capital punishment upon a dark-hued sister, simply because she scattered around loose upon the floor, the brains of a fair-faced, laughing white child? Intolerable. "When will these outrages cease?"
A negro, in the State of Alabama, ravishes a young white girl of fifteen years of age, cuts her tongue out, and leaves her in an almost dying condition. An infuriated mob pursues him, and hangs him on the nearest tree. Outrageous in the mob. The man was black. He ought not to have been hung. "When will these outrages cease?"
A few years ago, two colored fiends violated the persons of two aged white women, one nearly seventy, in Lancaster county, and then murdered them in cold blood. The officers of the law seized them. Court and jury condemned them. They were gibbetted in the jail-yard. Beyond all forbearance. Their skin was black. They should not have been executed. "When will these outrages cease?
On the streets of Harrisburg, no lady is safe alone at night. Outrages upon women are committed, and attempted, almost every night in the week by negroes. Some people are attempting to discover the perpetrators of these fiendish deeds. Perfectly unjustifiable! Nobody has a right to investigate the matter, for are not the offenders black men? Let the detectives keep off the track. "When will these outrages cease?"
The negro will never have secured his proper station in society, and in the world, until he not only votes, sits in the jury-box, rides in whatever car he pleases and on whatever seat he selects, intermarries with the whites, holds every office in the government, frames our laws and interprets them on the bench, but until he is also furnished with a wholesale license to commit whatever crime he pleases--to rob us of our money--to violate the persons of our wives and daughters--to perpetrate murder whenever he chooses, and in the most atrocious manner he can think of. Any person who seeks to prevent him from reaching this, his position in the world, throws himself into open antagonism to the "great moral ideas," which govern the Radical party of to-day. In view of the resistance which the Democratic party is making to the extension of such high priveleges to the negro, we submit, that the Morning Post ought to apply its query to that organization--"When will these outrages cease?"
(Column 02)Summary: Praises Johnson's reply to Grant's letter, though does not say what was the content of either. Refers to the attempt at impeachment the year before and hints that Grant is merely a tool for the Radicals, both of whom failed in their quest to eliminate Johnson. Also claims five cabinet members back Johnson's word over Grant's.
Full Text of Article:The Alabama ElectionThe President has replied to the insolent letter of General Grant in a way that is not calculated to elevate the General in the estimation of the American people. Calm in the consciousness of right, and dignified in the knowledge of his strength, he dissects the ambitious military chieftain with the skill of a master surgeon. In the light of this correspondence, the giant is shriveled into a pigmy. Grant, doubtless, feels inclined to crawl into the smallest hole he can find, and draw the hole in after him.--But, wriggle as he may, he can not conceal himself from public observation, or escape public contempt. The people will forgive almost anything in a public man sooner than a breach of faith. They will not tolerate a violation of his plighted word. The testimony of the Cabinet officers settles the question of veracity beyond dispute. Of course, there are some willfully blind fanatics, who will affect to disbelieve this concurrent testimony of these five eminent gentlemen, and say, that they would, willingly, swear to anything which the President asserts, but the masses of the people will not believe this. They know, that there is nothing of which honorable men are more careful, and jealous, than their reputation for veracity. They will not credit the assertion, therefore, that five men as distinguished as the gentlemen who have written these letters, so damaging to Grant, would rush to the rescue of the President in such a controversy, unless they know positively that which they have published to the world over their own signatures.
It will be observed that Grant has brought this trouble upon himself. We do not now refer to the deception which he practiced upon the President. That was, undoubtedly, the first step to his disgrace. But we mean, that Grant brought this exposure of his duplicity upon himself, by beginning a correspondence, which he should have had the foresight to see, could result only in shame, and confusion to himself. He has nobody to blame for it, unless, indeed, he has only been a supple tool in the hands of able wicked men. This was, not unlikely, the fact. A trap was set, temptingly baited, for the President. It was thought, that he could be unwittingly drawn into an acknowledgement of such a palpable violation of the Tenure-of-Office-Bill as would justify the Radicals in resorting to impeachment.
The devilish cunning of Stanton's brain, doubtless, devised this plan. But he, and his infamous co-conspirators have been completely foiled. The shot which Grant fired, not only missed its mark, but rebounded, and struck the gunner with terrific force.--Haman was hung upon the gallows which he had prepared for Mordocai. How often it happens that a man falls into the pit which he has dug for his neighbor!
(Column 03)Summary: Reports the failed attempt to pass a new constitution in Alabama and expected Radical responses. Calls on other Southern states to follow Alabama's example and thwart Republican designs.
Full Text of Article:Border LossesA majority of the registered voters in the State of Alabama, having failed to vote in favor of the Constitution submitted by the Mongrel Convention, it has been defeated. This is in perfect accordance with the Reconstruction laws of Congress. The whole machinery was set in motion and run by the Radical party, with the confident expectation of wheeling Alabama into line in support of the Radical candidate for the Presidency. They have been beaten at their own game. The Constitution has fallen to pieces by reason of its own rottenness.
But fanaticism does not falter. Resolutions have been already introduced into the Senate of the United States declaring the Constitution adopted, and Alabama admitted to the Union. Congress thus not only disregards the Constitution in framing the Reconstruction laws, but when they fail to suit their purpose, they brush them out of the way, as so much rubbish. What a farce is a popular election getting to be! It decides nothing anymore, for Congress ignores, and disregards its teachings, and deliberately undertakes to reverse its result. It is well for it that the American people are long-suffering.
If the people of the other States of the South pursue the same policy, it is probable that the Radical schemes will be thwarted, and their infamous negro-equality measures defeated, in accordance with the regulations prescribed, and the laws enacted by themselves. This is almost certain to be the case, unless the hasty legislation of Congress is again hurriedly altered to meet the difficulty disclosed by the Alabama election.--We feel satisfied, however, that even though this step should be taken, all will come out right in the end. A Higher Power than human agencies will yet curb the madness of these families, and give us, in His own good time, a republic governed by law.
(Column 03)Summary: The paper applauds the introduction of a bill in the legislature for reimbursement of citizens who sustained damage and loss of property during the war. "We trust that the Democrats of that body will show themselves willing to do justice to the plundered citizens of the border, and let the Radicals shoulder the responsibility of defeating this bill."Our Virginia Letters
(Column 03)Summary: The paper announces it will publish letters from Virginia describing the conditions there. "It is highly essential to the future harmony of the States, lately 'dissevered, discordant, and belligerent,' that their people should become thoroughly acquainted with each other."Virginia Geologically Divided
(Column 03)Summary: An anonymous Virginian writes a letter to the Valley Spirit detailing the topography of Virginia in the hopes of enticing immigration from Pennsylvania. Has a tone of reconciliation and a desire for more whites in Virginia to counter growing black political power in the state.
Full Text of Article:Abingdon, VA., Feb. 10th, 1868.
Editors of the Valley Spirit:
To a prejudiced mind, it might seem improper for the people of the North and the people of the South, who were quondam competitors in numerous gigantic struggles, to commingle with that friendly feeling, which is the only true method of securing the permanency of any Republican Government; but the larger and more enlightened class of our citizens, in both sections, are not chained by any such bigotry.
Certainly, the inhabitants of Pennsylvania, living in the counties south of the Susquehanna, are too near to Maryland and Virginia, with whose citizens they are in frequent communication, to entertain such opinions. It is true that your country suffered by the fire and sword of the Confederate army, and the substantial improvements of Virginia were laid waste by northern soldiers, yet, I believe, that the people of these sections, who bore the brunt of the battle, will be the first to shake hands of friendship.
The remark of that noble officer, General Hancock, upon introducing General Longstreet to his staff, conveys the sentiment that should actuate all of us. Said he: Gentlemen, this is the officer to whom I am indebted for an ungraceful limp, and whom I had the misfortune to wing in the same engagement.
The best mode of securing this friendliness of feeling is to induce a part of your people to emigrate to some quarter of the Southern States, and I am glad to learn that there is a growing disposition on the part of Pennsylvanians to move to Virginia. In view of this propitious fact, I apprehend that communications, giving accurate information of the soil, climate, mineral resources, facilities for transportation, prices of lands, &c., in the State of Virginia, would be acceptable to most of your readers.
As it would tax your columns too much to treat this subject in a manner satisfactory to your readers and myself, in one issue of your admirable paper, I purpose making this only the first of a series of articles.
The whole of the present State of Virginia is geologically divided into four districts.--First, the Tide Water region extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the head of steam navigation on the water courses. The farms along the banks of the streams in this section are very productive. The bountiful, and hospitable board of a James River farmer was an aphorism before the war, but as the blacks have been recently metamorphosed from slaves to suffragans, and as all of them have turned politicians, and each expects to be a Congressman, and some of them President of the United States, the industrial pursuits have been driven rapidly backward.
The influx of white immigrants will, I hope, soon restore this unfortunate country to its former prosperity. Some colonies from Europe are now settling in Eastern Virginia. These will be the means of inducing others to follow, and the probabilities are that Tide Water Virginia will soon assert that it will be ruled by white men. The chief products are wheat(of a very superior quality) corn oats, potatoes, and tobacco.
Second, The Piedmont District, running north and south throughout the entire breadth of the State, and reaching from the head of Tide Water to the Blue Ridge mountain. This is the far-famed tobacco growing country. All of the cereals, common to this climate, are cultivated with success, but grass, neither here, nor in the Tide Water country, grows well. It is my opinion, from an intimate knowledge of Piedmont Virginia, that it is destined to become the grape and wine section for all of the Atlantic States. No better evidence can be offered to support this supposition, than that, whereever you may go through the fields and woods, wild grape vines, generally bearing delicious fruit, will be met with. The whites and blacks are nearly equal in numbers, with the preponderance, however, in favor of the former. Were it not for the fact that so many of the whites are disfranchised, the blacks would be largely in the minority.
Third; The Shenandoah Valley, between the Blue Ridge upon the east, and the Alleghenies upon the west. This is but a continuation of that same strip of land that is formed between the mountains above mentioned, and which extends through the State of Pennsylvania, taking in your own town. The soil is identical with ours, the topography is alike, and, making some allowances for climate, the products are the same.
Fourth, South-west Virginia, extending from a point where the Blue Ridge and the Alleghenies, in their alternate converging and diverging lines, touch each other, to the State of Kentucky. This district comprises some dozen counties, through the centres of most of which a railroad runs, in a continuous line, from Norfolk to Memphis. Of this great grazing, and agricultural region, I desire to write fully in several succeeding communications. Yours, Respectfully,
VIRGINIUS.

Full Text of Article:MarriedEditors of the Valley Spirit:
Whatever subjects are presented in the public mind, that which concerns the interest of the whole community, is the one which should command the earliest and promptest attention of every Philanthropist, and of every one who regards his own welfare; especially since it not only affects those around us, but also those who are to take our places when we and the generation around us have passed away.
What more noble object can there be than the development of the human mind, that precious jewel which is contained in many instances in a rough casket! From whom have our citizens reaped the greatest advantages, but from those who have cultivated their own minds, and have given the community the result of their labors? To whom are we indebted for the use of steam, which has brought places, hundreds of miles distant, within a few hours of each other, but to Robert Fulton, who threw his mighty intellect in the scale against ignorance, and prejudice, and achieved a victory, by the aid of which, other skillful mechanics have advanced so far that the wilderness has been made to "blossom as the Rose?" See what Morse has done with the Electric Telegraph. I might mention others, but time would forbid. All we can say is, look around and see what has been done in the last quarter of a century--the improvements which have economized light, and fuel, and the many little comforts around us, of which our forefathers had not so much as dreamed. To whom are we indebted for our great military affairs? Disease has been made to succumb to science. To whom are we indebted for all the Philanthropic enterprises of the day, but to men, and I may say ladies also, of cultivated intellects? How have the poor been made to rejoice, and bless God for such and such persons? What has lessened crime, but the diffusion of knowledge? Who are those who are the most degraded in life, but those who are ignorant, who are unable to read God's holy word and commandments, and therefore, when their daily task is done, seek the dens of infamy and disgrace?
From a table appended to the Report of the State Superintendent of Common Schools, we have reports from 43 Counties in the State, where we find 1940 occupants of their jails, of whom 434 can not read; 540 read a little; 504 read well, and 123 are good scholars. Cost of support, $145,080; Expenses of conviction, $175,702. Report of Poor Houses of 26 Counties--occupants 3,428. Number over 10 years of age, 2,809; those who can not read, over that age, 1181; those who can read a little, 1189; read well, 412; good scholars, 80. Franklin County, 411 in jail; cost of support, $7,046; other expenses, $8,000. Occupants of poor House, 121; number over 10 years of age, 104; number over that age who can not read, 59; read a little, 35; read well, 10. Cost of support, $20,000. Total cost of Jail and Poor House, $35,045. Total amount of tax levied for School purposes, $57,395. State Appropriation, $3,820.74. Total amount for schools in County, $61,215.74.
This does not include what the community has lost through crime, which has not been brought to punishment, which we all know is much greater that the above, mostly from the uneducated. We may safely say, that not more than one-third of the crime is punished. How much do we lose yearly by Pilfering, Arson, and Fraud? We may, therefore, set the cost of crime and misery, at about $105,000, leaving a balance in round numbers of about $44,000 against crime and its accompaniments, without considering what education has already done for us. The result is incalculable. In view of these facts, our duty is plain and practicable. Let us give our teachers sufficient salaries to make teaching an object, and also increase our school term. To carry out the principle of the school law, let us be willing to assist the patrons of the poorer schools in educating their children, and not seek to separate from regular Districts, into independent ones, thereby establishing precedents for others to do the same, and throwing too great a burden on the parts that remain.
Our schools should be brought to that standard of excellence, that every pupil may obtain as good tuition, as far as the branches of the Common Schools are concerned, as can be obtained elsewhere, which can readily be done, by due care being taken in the selection of teachers, by patrons respecting the authority of teachers, and Directors enforcing it.
Since such great benefits are derived from knowledge, which "Is Power," the General Government should not be backward in giving a helping hand to this great work. She has done comparatively little for the cause. It is true she has a Military Institution at West Point for the Army, and another at Annapolis for the Navy, and has granted some land to Western Territories in by-gone days. Would it not have a tendency to make her citizens more loyal to see her benignant hand stretched out to assist them on behalf of their children? Who would not feel a growing attachment for it, and wish the hand palsied that would be raised against it? It is not the best parent, who supports his family only by supplying them with food and raiment, but he who teaches them to do for themselves. So that Government is not doing the best for the governed which has an army of sinecures about it.--She wants men to help her, working men.
We only ask what has heretofore been misappropriated. Our citizens have expended much during the few last years for the Government, to the disadvantage of the schools, and should have some back in return.
The money might be disbursed in such a manner as not to interfere with State regulations. For instance, no district shall be entitled to a share where the History of the United States is not read. A certain part, say one-fifth, might be retained by the Government for general educational purposes; one-fifth be disbursed by the States generally for Normal Schools, Lectures on Natural Philosophy and other sciences. The rural districts have no advantages of this kind. Many a rude, uncultivated urchin has a germ within him, which, if developed, might astonish the world.
The population of the U.S. in 1860, was 31,443,321. Of Pennsylvania, 2,906,215, or 9.21 per cent of the whole. Supposed $10,000,000 were applied by the Government, deducting $2,000,000 for general purposes, leaving $8,000,000 for the States. Pennsylvania would be entitled to $736,800, reserving one-fifth $147,350, leaving $588,440 to be divided amongst the schools in proportion to the pupils. 789,389 scholars were registered last year, making 74.5 per scholar.--School districts would receive as follows:
