Here is the way General Fitz Lee
commenced his speech at Winchester,
Va. He made his speech on the famous
battlefield of Fisher's Hill, This is the
opening paragraph :
I thank God that white-winged peace
now broods over the land. I came here
to preach the Pesce and not war ; to car-
ry a8 my standard the stars and stripes,
and not the bloody shirt. I thank God
that the question of secession has been
forever settled, and that now at last ev-
ery star in our glorious old flag has a
meaning. I thank God that no vestige
of carpetbagism or scalawag government
remains to vex the people,
There is no bloody shirt about that!
It is rather in different tone from the
speeches John Sherman is making in
Ohio, attributing to the South a purpose
to engage in a new rebellion,

A strange case has occurred in Califor-
nia, involving the resignation of a Judge,
that has a local interest in this locality
at this time. Judge Clough, of the Bu-
preme Court, become insane, While in
an assylum, as it was represented in a
lucid condition, he resigned his office,
and the Governor appointed Judge Levy
in his place. Judge Clough has recover
ed his mental health, and claims his
place on the bench, declaring he has no
knowledge of his resignation and his
wife testifies he was insane when he
made it. The laws of California declare
invalid any conveyance or contract made
by an insane man, hence it is claimed
the resignation is void, and the Judge
entitled to his office. This will be an
interesting question for the lawyers,

The Democracy of Clearfield held
their county convention on 16. George
Wooden, of Houtzedale, was nominated
for sheriff by a vote of 51. Simth Wil-
son, of Clearfield, was nominated for
district attorney, and Samuoel Postieth-
wait for jury commissioner. Hiram
Woodward, of Huston, was defeated for
Sheriff by a few votes, and as he is a war
horse of 30 years standing in the demo-
cratic party, and was defeated by Wood-
en, who has only been in the country
seven years, there is a possibility that
he will come out independently, in
which case the republican candidate will
stand a fair chance of election. The
Crawford system of representation was
defeated and hereafter there will be the
old method of nominating by the dele-
gate system.

QUAY CAN AND MUST BE DE-
FEATED.
We say so too, along with the Morning
Patriot, which adds that the demoraliza-
tion of the Republican party in Phila-
delphia and the evident purpose of the
best citizens of that political faith in all
parts of the state to repudiate Quay,
present the pending contest for State
Treasurer in a light favorable to the
prospects of Conrad B, Day. With the
extraordinary majority of last year star-
ing the Democratic party in the face,
and the seeming unanimity with which
Col. Quay was nominated the beginning
of the contest was anything but hopeful.
But a change has already setin, and with
a fair measure of vigilance on the part of
the Democrats there is excellent prospect
of winning a victory.
The nomination of W. Elwood Rowan
for Sheriff by the Republicans of Phila
delphia, was the first step in the im-
pending political revolution that prom-
ises to wipe out the Republican majority.
Mr. Rowan is a member of the political
ring composed of William B. Mann, Jas,
McManes, David H. Lane, William R.
Leeds and others of like stamp. They
have robbed the city with merciless
hands in the past. Differences growing
out of the distribution of the spoils has
recently caused breaks in the ranks, but
the methods of the men are the same as
when united in a common purpose they
plundered the people right and left.
The nomination of Rowan is an insult
to the people not only of the city but of
the state. It is noticed that the return of
the Republican party to power means
the revival of the boss methods of the
old Ring. In State politics Col. Quay
represents the same interests which
Rowan voices in the municipal govern-
ment, Those who desire to overthrow
these men and mesures must make com-
mon cause with the Democrats in the
support of Conrad B. Day, in order that
the ring may be uprooted and eradi-
cated.

A SHORT ROUTE
The shortest route of all, between Now
York and Chicago, is mentioned of in a
Chicago paper the other day, and it
strikes Centre county. Possibly it is the
route thro’ the Brush Valley narrows, of
which we mentioned in the Rerorree a
year ago. The Chicago paper says the
Baltimore and Ohio is now maturing 8
project which will give it the shortest
line between Chicago and New York,
and which, if consummated, will briog
on another conflict between thé trunk
lines as serious as that which followed
the construction of the West Shore. It
is asserted that negotistions are now in
progress to build an entirely new line io
New York direct, using the main lice
for Washington, Baltimore and Philadel-
phia business only, The proposed pro-
pew extension from the main line to
Centreton, Ohio, in a direct air-line to
New York City, passing through Medina,
soon be brought into the United States
Court at Memphis, where its right to the,
valuable patent under which it operates
will be tried. Suit is brought by the, U.
B. District Attorney, the court being ask-
ed to vacate the patent, alleging it to
have been obtained by fraudulent repre-
sentations ; that Philip Reis was the re-
al inventor of the telephone, Bell having
obtained the valuable secret from an of
ficial of the Patent Office in violation of
the law ; that the invention was known
to the scientific world before Bell secured
his patent ; aad that it 1s and of right
ought to be the company property of the
public. The affidavit of Z. F. Wilber, the
examiner of the Patent Office, is said to
be the most important evidence in sup-
port of the petition. This is the gentle-
man, it is alleged, who gave Mr. Bell the
valuable information which enabled the
latter to forestall Reis in securing the
patent, which, by every right, should
have been awarded to the latter,
