The Republicans of this borough arc requested to met at the Court House, on Saturday evening, April 1, 1871, for the purpode of making nominations for Borough offteern , to , he.seppwaed-at an election to be held on Monday next. MANY VOTERS. SUBSCRIBERS, ATTENTION ! Those of out subscribers, who receive their papers through the post offices, will notice a little label on each paper with their name and a few figures and letters follow ing it, thus : "JJonesSmith Ijan7l." This being written out signifies J. Jones Smith has paid for the JOURNAL, or starts with the new firm of J. R. Durborrow & Co., from the first of January, 1871, and if he will send us $2 we will correct it thus: "JJonesSmith Ijan72," which will denote that he has paid the new, firm up to the first of January, 1872, which we hope every subscriber, who reads this no tice and finds upon looking, at the label thil7 -2; 3 or 4jan'tl !mows it, *III send us $2 by letter, put up in the pres ence of the Post Master, at our risk, or in a check drawn by his storekeeper pay able to our order, and the week following he will find "Ijan72" in its stead. We wonder really how many will act upon his suggestion ? Let every man, who finds his account as we have stated above, send us $2 and we will publish the names of all in our issue of the sth of April. We want to mortify the editor of the Monitor. Bend along your greenbacks. The Post Office that exceeds ten subscribers, outside of Huntingdon Borough, which pays us the largest amount of money on subscrip tion by that time, in proportion to its sub scribers, shall be entitled to and receive a very complimentary notice of the fact, and we will send one or more copies of the JOURNAL, for one year, gratis, according to the amount paid, to any person or per sons whom your P. M. may inform us that a majority of those who have paid up may name. But if you don't pay up liberally we will be ashamed to say anything about the matter end the Monitor will have the joke on us. Pay np and start new. All accounts due prior to January Ist, 1871, must be paid J. A. Nash, Esq. CAMPAIGN OP 1872. The New York Traune truthfully re marks that the Presidential campaign of 1872 will be " the most infuriated con_ test" we have ever had, because, owing to feuds existing in the Republican ranks , the opposition will attempt seriously to carry, for the Democratic nominees, every State except Maine, Massachusetts, Ver mont, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Min nesota and lowa, while the Republicans will struggle to carry every one of the States, not excepting Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky. In view of the situation, it is urged that the Republicans of every State begin at once to prepare for the strug gle by severally inducing every one they can influence "to take and read some Re publican newspaper." This is good advice and will be heeded by every live Repub lican. REVOLUTION IN FRANCE. The latest intelligence from France brings us the heart rending information that Franee•is once more the theatre of a terrible revolution. The scenes of horror and suffering, through which the people have passed, have only prepared them for anarchy and bloody revolution. The hor rors of '9B, it is said,are being re-enacted. Marat, Robespiere and their savage con freres are, in the persons of others fully as cruel and inhuman, expected to repeat their bloody role. The masses are once more pitted against their rulers, and the wildest scenes of disorder are of hourly oc currence. Unfortunate France ! THE LAST CHANCE 1 I hereby give notice to all persons in debted to me for subscription, advertising or job work, that all unsettled accounts will be placed in the hands of an officer for collection immediately after Ate April Court. Those who settle their accounts by that time will be charged only two dol lars per annum ; after that date three dol Jars will be charged. Those who desire to. save something will availthemselves of this offer. My books MUST be settled. J. A. NASII. March 7, 1871.—tf. FOR SALE.

The State Journal has become alarmed at ita position on the question of the deposition of Sumner, and consequent ly resorts to the expedient of under-rating and impugning the motives of those who sustain the majority of the Senate.

On an intimation that the Senate and Supreme Court may be in way, it adds: " These, too, can be easily got rid of by the convention." " Nothing is irreversible which the mongrels have done to our Federal system, unless tho South gives tip." Democrats, how do you like the enthusiasm of_ your Southern friends ?

"Discretion is the bettor part of valor," is it not? ge_it is amusing how carefully the Democrats nurse a little "unpleasantness" in the Republican . ranks.

HUNTINGDON JOURNAL : I have not troubled your readers with a communication from the Capital; since the organization of the 42nd Congress, for the reason that the proposition to adjourn has been pending, from day to day, and no definite action seemed probable on any ques tion presented, The House of P.epresen tatives has manifested a desire to close the session immediately, while the Senate has opposed such adjournment, without first I.aving enacted some law for the protection of life and property in the Southern States. The report of the Select Cotumitt,e o. the Senate to investigate the alleged out rages on the 'States lately in insurrection has given so clear an illustration of the deplorable condition of affairs in the State of. North Carolina, that demands for some protecting enactment come from all qmr ters of the country. In view of the ab solute necessity for such a law, the Presi dent has sent a - blief but painted. Message to Congress requestiiig action on this sub ject, by which the arm of the Government will be strengthened, in its efforts to put down the infamous Ku-Klux organizations, now revelling in the commission of mur der, scourging, and arson throughout the South. • Congress cannot adjourn without first legislating on this important subject: The. public safety, the interests of humaa ity, the demands of justice all unite in the call for Congressional action. It dare not be withheld. I I The attention of the Senate, for days, has I:;een directed to an exposition of the true state of affairs in the South: Many able and eloquent speeches have been made by the older Senators. The Democratic Sen ators have, with one accord, 'entered the arena of controversy, and endeavored to ward off the responsibility of the outrages, ilie ex - ISt - once of which cannot now ha de nied, although attempts were made, at the outset, to represent them es myths. :it represented that all Demo- it contains Willie it cuts in the South arc members of this blond -thirsty, trued and cowaidly organi proven, as clearly as any ittct was seer proven, that all members of the liu-fbtx band are Penweratu. It tics moreover, been shown. that laws for the prevention and punishment or the crimes committed by these outlaws cannot be executed by the State Courts, for the sinip]o reason that juries will not convict .li-close facts, when these are arraigned. The accused jeror, being united by a mutal oath :•.. to each other, judges are impotent :mtl the law a mockery. The manifest object of the Ku-Klux organization is to. produce a complete terrorism in the South, by which the loy al whites and cold-eci - voters will be de terred from an expression of their political sentiments at the polls. It is manifestly designed by these ex-rebels, that either the people of the South must acquiesce in a return of their respective States to Democratic control, or the reign of terror, murder, hipping, burning and general desolation must continue. This is the precise state of the question now presented to Congress, and it remains to be seen if that power which was Strong enough to crush treason is too weak to overthrow this off-shoot of rebellion. The Republican Senators have grappled with this monster with a vigor which gives promise that it must he overthrown. Your Senator, Hon. John Scott, being elm irman of the Select Committee of the Senate to investigate these outrages, was looked to for a full and fair expose of all that has been developed by the testimony taken. His able Report, made come days ago, met public expectation so far as the investiga tion had been made. It has been the basis of the eloquent addresses, in both Houses, in d,,,pense of loyalty and in denunciation of bloody-handed crime. On yesterday, he closed a speech, which he had com- L;3enced on the day - previous, that com manded the interesteda.nd approving atten tion of the Senate for store than three hours. The country will, no doubt, have the bene fit of this eloquent effort, through the medium of the press. To give you some idea of the estimation in which it is held here, I quote from the Washington (liwonicle of this morning : "The speceh.of Senator Scott yesterday was a smirching and convincing review of the Ku-K.l.tx. Klan and its atrocious ',laws in North Cirolina. Ile act forth not only hide,. 14 - vitality and mur der, but the large numbers, the compact orcaniza lien, the political character, and revolutmuary purpose of the Klan. lle cloned with an appeal of rare eloquence and rower to 14,m , er.its and Republicans to unite in the Im=age of a law, and in all other means to avert tlre startling wrong and per:l.

Mr. Editor : As some of the numerous readers of the JOURNAL may not be averse to perusing a few items front the " land of cotton," we modestly crave admittance to your valuable columns, cognizant of the fact that they could be filled by the effu sions of more gifted and competent con tributors. but by none who have a more sin_ eere admiration and respect fin- the Jour.- There is nothing of a !ocal nature trans piring, in Alississippi that would be read with the least degree of interest by your readers. Topics of a general nature are discussed by the press of the country and perused by them. But as a correspondent of the JotnNAL I will endeavor to give a slight sketch of affairs in .the State and vicinity. The press throughout the North, in the interest of the Democratic party, is flooded with letters, editorial and extracts from their Southern exchanges, asserting loudly that the freedmen of the South are indolent, and " would rather starve than work," and are unfit to live in a State of freedom, and such-like stuff, and as those statements arc seldom met with a denial from the South, they are too often credited, and estimates of the negro, in his new character, formed accordingly... Having traveled - over a large portion of the South during the last twelve months, I pronounce (at least as far as my observa tion haststended,) such statements as those referred to. false and utterly without foun dation whatever ; they are base libels on the black working population of the South ; the more cowardly and mean from the fltet that the Degrees in their present illiterate state lack the education and ability to refute them through the poWer of the press, and the whites who are aware of and at heart con condenm such proceedings arc kept from refuting them through fbar., The intent of those cowardly misrepre sentations are apparent to the dullest mind. To represent as a Failure and condemn the act of which, among -hundreds of others replete with good to the Country, the Re publican party is responsible for and is justly proud and for which it will receive the thanks 6f millions yet unborn—the emancipation of four millions of human beings Trout bondage. I have almost invariably found the ne gro population of the south, honest, in dustrious and thrifty. Contrary instances, of coarse, exist, but they form the excep tion, not the rule. The greeter pert of them aim at secur ing homes of their own and arc hoarding up their earnings for that purpose, many of thew indeed having them nos, some own ing laege plantations, improving them and contincting their business, since becoming the possemrs of them in a manner that will compare favorably with the white planters. Another evidence of their desire and willingness to educate and improve them selves. - is evinced from the eagerness and aptitude they : manifest ,in their endeavors to get an education, however slight it may be. Men, women and children exhibit the same plausible eagerness, and their even ings and idle moments throughout the day are Spent conning over the mysteries of an old spelling book or reader. They have apparently never been taught the adage or imbibed the caution contained therein, that "A little knowledge is a den gerons thing," as they are as much re joiced over the conquest of a hard word or the acquisition of its meaning, as Herschel would have been over some grand astronom ical discovery. pr Norse in some new. de velopment in the art of telegraphy. They are anxious to become accim,i n t e d with the political affairs of the country, but having been so often duped and do ceived by the whites of the South, they are naturally becoming suspicious and their inquiries in relation to politics are very .guarded and indifferent, unless they know ho conies from the North, and they then converse freely and eagerly on the subject, =king inquiries as to tie next presidential candidate, the probable results of the election, ete. They are almost to a man Republican and have perfect, confi dence in the honesty and good will of the party that freed them and gave them the rights of men and citizens. • -The greatest drawback to the advance ment and establishment of the race is an institution planned and carried on by the men, who having been defeated in open battle, sow resort to the most cowardly means of wreaking their vengance on the the poor superstitious and uncomplaining negrocs. I refer to the Ku Klux. But having infringed On your vac,: to a greater extent than was at first intended I will defer the treatment of the organiza tion and its workings until my next. More JACKSON, March 22, 1871 Civil War is France, M. Thiers, Jules I vre, and their col leagues in the present provisional govern ment of France, are men who have encoun tered too many persoal dangers, witnessed too many tumultuous scenes, and too often proved themselves to be not only men of brains, but physical and moral courage, to admit the belief that they have been driv en out of Paris by an angry mob, compos ed only of the ignorant., turbulent element which has always cursed the French capi ital. Moreover, it will be remembered that during the six month's seige by the German army. United States Minister Washburne did not once desert his past. Sei;re, bombardment, and threatened fit:n ine failed to accomplish what. three days of active revolution bar done,viz.,compel the flight of the American and every other foreign minister resident in Paris. Every battalion entrusted with the restoration of order has either been repulsed or gone over bodily to the insurgents. Two prom inent and brave general officers have been executed, :tad another sentenced to death. The small porportion of the former garri. son remaining fitithibl to the government have been withdrawn to Versailles. The insurgents, in rumple possession of the city, are preparing to arm the outer defences, having already occupied three of the prin cipal forts, and all the main roads and av enues are as carefully guarded against in vasion as they were two months ago. At Versailles, less than six miles distant, the Thiers Goverment and the National As sembly have taken refuge behind twenty thousand bayonets. The entire neighbor hood is said to be strategetically occupied by troops. General Vinoy-, an experienced and fearless oilicer, has been entrusted with chief command, and has recieved his orders to put down the insurrection. llis force is being constantly strengthened, and he will be expected to act promptly: The insurgent chiefs have sent. a communica thin i;!) Versailles with a statement of their demand,:, which, of course, will not be complied with, accompanied by the threat that if they are not complied with the As sembly will be dispnrsed by the National d. Thus w: • ,],r , prediction so often made recce::: tear the immediate successor of the contest with Germany. It is idle to call it anything else. It is nothing less. The idea sug gested by a contemporary of comparing the present revolt to the New York anti draft riots is most absurd. At Versailles and Paris there are two different and op posing governments, or powers claiming to be such, both desperately determined, and each backed by a large army. There is civil war in France to-day ! How far it will extend, it. long it will last : abet will be the conscquences, or who will triumph, are questions which the immediate future will decide. and upon which we do not pro pose to indulge in idle speculation. Only one thing seems clear: Republicanism in France is fated.

The, war in Europe did not materially interfered either with the production or exportation of ehampaigne to other cows- The importation in the United Stites has not been so large at any time since ISdO as in the year 187 t), and its value was never so great as in the last year, when we took $1,3!)2,000. The total appropriations of CongresS for 1572 are $163.444,681.62, or $5,593,549. 9S in excess of those for 1871, which were $157,851,131.6-1. The whole increase can be attributed to the new pension laws, which appropriate nearly double that amount, thus showing an actual reduction in the expenses of the departments. mErtcus. Paris is still excited and feverish, and the mobs powerful and insolent Pala dines—a rigid disciplinarian—now com mands the National Guard of the city, and order and tranquility may be expected from his rule. Bismarck, it is stated, is prepar ing a history of the late war, in which he is quite severe upon the courseof England. The Black Sea difficulty is reported set tled, Russia having practically gained all her demands. The Black Sea is to be open to men of war, the Sultan being per mitted to admit the war vessels of other natiion; through the Dardanelles in time of peace. This is a sort of compromise in which the solid advantages accrue to Russia. It is rumored that Mr. Schenck will not go to England, after all. It is said that he has accepted the position as attorney of the Northern Pacific Railroad, at a salary of twenty-filie thousand dollars a year. He will remain in Washington till the work of the High Commission is concluded, and then, if he goes to England at all, will speedily return. The earthquake at the Sandwh eh Islands on the 6th ult. appears to have been rather severe. In one place great rocks were hurled down from the cliffs. and many of the valleys had all thicer cultivation destroy ed. At Honolulu the shocks lasted about a minute, and were three in number. As the inhabitants do not reside in heavy stone buildings, no lives were lost. The first news from New Hampshire. to the effect that. a Democratic victory had been gained. had the effect of carrying up the price of gold in the New York market. This shows more clearly than anthing else, that after all that is said about political rev olution because Mr. Sumner was not grat ified in his every wish, the people are not perparcd for the accession of the Democracy to power. The Secretary of State has made a report to Congress on the subject of immi gartion. It sh6ws that during the year ending 31st December last we received 280, 278 immigrants, of whom Great Britain furnished 145,384 or over half, the Irish immigration not being reported separately; Germany, 83,564—1e5s than one-third ; Sweden and Norway, 14.133.

A owed B one hundred dol lars, for which he gave his note, payable in ninety days. After the note, had been signed, B, without the knowledge of A, inserted the word:; "and fifty" after the words "one hundred," in the body of the note, and sold it to C. The note failling due. A refused to pay it, pleading that the "and fifty" was a forgery. Suit was brought. by C against A, and although the forgery by B was admitted, C recovered judgment against A for one hundred dollars. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment, in timating also that it ought to have been fir $156 dollars, but as the plaintiff below had taken no exception to the judgment as rendered, it could not be disturbed. glArtingue DAVID—HORTON—At the house of the bride's parents, near Newburg, on March 5, by Rev.
