The POTTER JOTMAL
AND -
NEWS ITEM.
COUDERSPORT. PA., June 20,1873
"Among the Hills,"
Wrote the poet Whittier, about
some Massachusetts farm homes per
haps, though he did not say where.
If he had come to Pennsylvania, and
to Potter County, he would have
found high lands and wild lands,
with purest air and piled masses of
verdure; dark in places with the
evergreen trees—fresh in other spots
with the young leaves that will fall
so soon; leafy dells with springs of
sweet water clear and cold ; here and
there an opening full of strawberry
vines, on which the fruit is just ri
pening, or rasp or blackberry bushes
which will bear treasures of sweet
ness a little later.
We are high up and have long
winters and late frosts, but from ac
counts given in the papers we find
that very many parts of the country
that we have been used to consider
favored by climate have suffered with
cold and frost and storms far more
than we have done this year.
But even if the winters are severe
and the springs late, the beauty—the
freshness—the luscious fruitage of the
summer are unsurpassed. Tourists
in search of the picturesque, artists
lookiug for the beautiful, families
wishing to find pure air and quiet
rest, sportsmen—but we neither need
nor desire to tempt them to hunt our
beautiful wild animals, —all can find
here a place of rare attraction in its
short summertime. Our compara
tive freedom from mosquitoes and en
tire freedom from poisonous serpents,
at least in the vicinity of Couders
port, make it a safe region for child
ren and a desirable one to older peo
ple. It is pleasant to know that
every year the County is becoming
better known, and the nearer rail
road makes the journey hither ap
pear less formidable.
SOME people seem to have an idea
that the flowers planted in our ceme
tery are public property and freely
help themselves to such of them as
happens to please their fastidious
tastes. We are glad to say that such
persons are few in our community,
still occcasionally one can be seen
coming from the cemetery with
a beautiful boquet culled from the
graves of some one else's friends.
WE clip the following items con
cerning the It. 11. from the Clinton
Republican.
Jersey Shore is not satisfied with
the location of the track of the J. S.
& B. railroad through their neighbor
hood and a proposition from the
company to lower the grade and
bring the depot into the village is
now being considered. The condi
tions arc ten acres ol ground, six
miles right of way, and $25,000.
The Ifcrald is hopeful that these
terms will lie complied with.
MESSRS. Wilcox Murphy have
taken the contract to build five miles
of the Pine Creek and Jersey Shore
road lying between London and
Larry's Creek and contemplate im
mediate operations.
WE desire all our readers to care
fully peruse the letter of Bishop
Whipple to the X. V. Evening Pout.
printed in this week's JOURNAL. It
is concerning "a subject which he
has taken a good deal of trouble to
familiarize himself with and master,
by study, by reflection and by per
soal observation among the Indians.
Ila speaks, therefore with some au
thority, and all that he says is worthy
of serious consideration."
The Popular Science Monthly
for July, is here much earlier than
usual. It opens with a wonderfully
interesting paper "How the sea
depths are explored" from which is
taken the following extract:
Prof. Thomson observes: "The
enormous pressure at these great
depths seemed at first sight alone
sufficient to put any idea of life out
of the question. There was a curious
popular notion, in which I well re
member sharing when a boy, that in
going down, the sea-water became
gradually under the pressure heavier
and heavier, and that all the loose
things in the sea rioated at different
levels, according to their specific
weight: skeletons of men, anchors,
and shot, and cannon, and, last of all
the broad gold-pieces lost in the
wreck of many a galleon on the
Spanish Main, the whole forming a
kind of false bottom to the ocean,
beneath which there la}- all the depth
of clear, still water, which was heav
ier than molten gold. The conditions
of pressure are certainly very extra
ordinary, At 12,000 feet a man
would bear upon his body a weight
equal to 20 locomotive-engines, each
with a long goods-train loaded with
pig-iron. We are apt to forget, how
ever, that water is almost incompres
sible, and that, therefore, the density
! of sea-water at a depth of 12,000|feet
is scarcely appreciably increased.''
It gives plates and descriptions
of the machinery by which these ex
plorations are accomplished and
| some idea may be gained of the
imencity of the work so lately under
taken and yet in its very infancy.
"The Physiology of Death" com
mences by giving the Leibnitz theory
of life and death—the most interesting
part of the article.

ED. JOURNAL: We hear and read a
great deal about "trout fishuxg"
"speckled trout," "speckled beau
ties." Much has been written on the
advantages of Potter County in this
respect and the attention of pleasure
seekers and fishing parties, has been
repeatedly called to our pure water
and brook trout and the success of
various fishing parties are frequent
ly sounded by the press. But
with all our natural advantages how
little do we as a people, realize how
much (with verv li tt i e cos tj could be
done to brin 0 the luxury of having
trout for breakfast when desired,
biought within the reach of many
families in this County. We have in
almost or quite every township in
the County numerous beautiful and
lasting springs of soft water afford
ing small gravelly streams which be
ing obstructed by a small dam, easy
of construction, would form a pond
in which could be raised all the trout
needed in the family.
To convince any skeptical reader
of the feasibility of this, I would
only invite him to visit the premises
of Mr N. Clark two miles north of
Coudersport where he will find in a
small pond occupying a surface not
exceeding twenty five by forty feet,
some most beautiful trout, very tame,
coining to their master's hand to re
ceive their food and even suffering
themselves to be touched and even
lifted gently by the hand. There
are in this little pond about 200 large
trout in a healthy growing condition,
besides the little fry.
The pond as now constructed
could not have cost over fifteen to
eighteen dollars and 1 believe there
is no better or cheaper way for the
owners of good springs in this
County to procure a luxury for their
families or a pleasure for their chil
dren than to rig up a pond and stock
it with trout. ALLEGANY.
For the Journal.
The Old and the New House.
Farmer B having built a new
house on the opposite side of the
road from the old homestead, it
seemed to me as I chanced to pass
one day, that I heard the following
conversation between the two houses
as they looked across the road at one
another.
The new house said spitefully, "I
should think that farmer B might
pull down and remove such an old
rickety unsightly thing as j-ou are.
What in the world can he want of
you any longer since I afford him
such pleasant accommodation here?
I think he would be much happier if
he could forget that he had ever lived
in such a mean looking habitation as
you are. Yourself and your surround
ings are a disgrace to such a tidy
farmer as my master. Briers and
brambles, untrimmed hedgerows,
gnarled and mossgrown trees, rickety
old fences; what a contrast to the
trim neatness of my surroundings."
To this tirade the old house replied,
"I know that the storms and tem
pests of many }"ears have racked my
frame and rendered me almost use
less, but that I am an unsightly ob
ject to my former master I do not
believe. I have reasons for thinking
that he loves me still; far better
than he ever will you, with all your
boasted elegance and neat enclosure.
"Why is it, that when cares and
sorrows weigh down his spirits, he
! comes here and walks through my
! plain deserted rooms? What a long
ing, yearning look he wears as his
feeble footsteps echo through my
empty chambers. Why is it? 1 will
tell you; he is growing old too.
j The passing years that have hung
my roof and sides with mossy gar
lands, have bowed his stately form
and silvered his locks with hoar
frosts of life's winter.
"It is here he was born. Here he
passed his happy boyhood and the
best days of his manhood. Here
were knotted around his heart the
sweet ties of sisterly and brotherly
love, and here he bade adieu to his
sainted parents as they r departed to
a better world.
"From here, one after another he to
has seen brothers and sisters depart
build for themselves household altars
—all, of that once happy family.
"It was here he first erected a fam
ily altar of his own and brought
home his gentle wife who helped to
make his home an earthly Paradise,
while a family of happy children
grew up around them. But that wife
and mother is no more and those
children have all gone forth into the
world.
"When here, all alone, would it be
strange that lie fancied he heard in
my hollow echoes, the silvery laugh
ter of children or the low sweet voice
of her he confided in through long
years? Or less strange that he
should stand by the window, lean on
the rotten sill and look out upon the
unsightly old fence with its bushes
and brambles in the corners, at the
unkempt shrubbery around, as
though he expected to see little feet
chasing one another through that
labyrinth of lilac, roses, briars and
creeping vines; then returning with
in to the place where he was wont to
kneel in family prayer and breathe
'Father, thy will be done ?'
"Do you wonder then, that he does
not pull me down? The sacred asso
ciations that cling to me are so wov
en into the web of his life as to give
tone and coloring to every thought
action."
I hurried 011 my way. The busy
reccollections of my childhood heme
came thronging around me. Precious
memories f O, how they stir the
heart. And—
"How often do we east aside
The cupc of promised bliss.
And gladly turn us to the East,
So fraught v lib happiness."
Yes, what place i 3 so dear to the
heart as the old homestead ? Though
it be ever so humble, time lends to
its every scene an enchantment no
other place can possess. Happy the
one who can look back to that hal
lowed spot and say, "it was there J
first learned to prepare for my heav
enly home."'
The Brave Oregonians.
There was a great deal said, during
the Modoc war, about what tremendous
things the frontier volunteers would do
if they were only brought into the field.
In fact, several companies of Oregon
ians were ordered out by the Governor
of their State. They (lid not show any
desire to go into the lava-beds and whip
the red-skins, hut after the United
States forces had beaten the foe the
Oregon chaps determined to show their
valor.
They fell on a squad of captured
"Hot Creeks," who had not been en
gaged in the murders, killed four men
and bad'y wounded a woman. Mrs.
Swisshelm herself ought to lie satisfied
with this feat of valor. Of course the
murderers will escape without punish
ment and it will not l>e strange if the
massacre bears bloody fruit hereafter.
It is precisely here that the great diffi
culty arises about treating the Indians
according to the rules of the civil law,
to which we have frequently alluded.
The settlers will do what they please to
the Indians and white juries will never
convict. AVe do not believe there will
be any stable peace between the two
races until both settlers and Indians,
so far as their dealings with each other
are concerned, are put under the control
of the United States military authori
ties. — Buffalo Express.
From the Evening Post.
THE RED MEN.
In 1868 Generals Sherman, Augur,
Terry and Harney, with other commis
sioners, were appointed to examine in
to the causes of our Indian wars. They
presented a report which contained
these remarkable words: "If the lands
of the white man were taken, civiliza
tion justifies him in resisting the inva
der. Civilization does more than this—
it brands him as a coward and a slave if
he submit to the wrong. Here civiliza
tion made its contract and guaranteed
the rights of the weaker party. It did
not stand by the guaranty; the treaty
was broken, but not by tlie savage. If
the savage resists, civilization, with the
ten commandments in one hand and the
sword in the other, demands his imme
diate extermination." These are re
markable words. They were written
after long months of strict examination
into the causes of our then existing
wars. The proof taken was so horrible
and revolting it was not made public.
Speaking of one massacre of Indians by
our white volunteers, the Commission
ers say: "It scarcely has a parallel in
the records of Indian barbarity. Flee
ing women holding up their hands for
mercy were brutally shot down, infants
were killed and sculjatl in derision,
men were tortured and mutilated in a
, manner that would put to shame the
savage ingenuity of interior Africa."
It is a truthful statement of the causes
of Indian wars. The prophecy of Gen
eral Sherman has been fulfilled. The
recent Modoc treachery has tilled the
nation with sorrow. One of our noblest
Generals was cruelly murdered and
many brave soldiers sleep in nameless
graves. The press and people clamor
for extermination. We ask for the
cause of the treachery. The Indian
has no press reporters to tell his side of
the story, and Indian warriors do not
make their wrongs the subject of tele
graphic dispatches. The Modocs were
a wild, warlike people. They belonged
to the class of Indians who will at any
(Kids avenge their wrongs. The depart
ment admits admits that the Modocs
were robbed by its agents and removed
to a reservation against their will.
The administration of Indian affairs
in Oregon has been mcst shameless.—
Senator >esmith, in a rejmrt of 1867,
says: "I have examined Invoices of
purchases made by the department in
eastern cities, where the prices charged
were from fifty to one hundred per cent,
above the market value of good articles.
Upon an examination of the goods 1
found them worthless and deficient in
quantity. Among them were steel
spades made of sheet-iron ; chopping
axes made of cast-iron; test brogans
with paper soles; blankets made of
shoddy and glue, which came to shreds
the first time they were wet, etc." He
also speaks of useless articles, as "forty
dozen pair of elastics for a tribe where
there was not a single pair of stockings."
This kind of administration usually
brings Indian wars. The Modocs had a
more bitter memory. They were invi
ted to come in under a flag of truce.
They accepted the white man's white
flag. They came. The day was rainy.
The sinews to their bows were wet and
useless. A signal was given and forty
out of forty-seven warriors were killed.
The chief Schonchin was of the number.
Is it strange that his son was one of the
assassins of General CaUuy and Dr.
Thomas? It is an eternal law for na
tions as well as men, that "whatsoever
a man soweth that shall he also reap."
Nations who sow treachery reap treach
ery, and the innocent suffer with the
guilty.
I ask 110 mercy for murderers, wheth
er red or white. The Modocs must be
punished. But we must remember we
have not merely to deal with a handful
of savages. We are dealing with God.
We cannot make special pleadings in
the court of Heaven. This is no time
to shut our eyes to the facts. We may
cry "exterminate," and turn men aside
from the lesson of the stern logic of
events by our jee> s at "poor Lo," who
is wreaking.his mad vengeance on the
innocent. But we ought to rememlter
that no one can exterminate but God.
The grass has grown over a million of
graves of our own nice; we are to-day
groaning under the burden of a debt of
thousands of millions of dollars expend
ed in civil -war—the fniit of our own
sin. We c.an hardly afford to forget
the lesson.
The people, who seldom examine facts,
cry out against President Grant's peace
policy, and the press lay the murder of
General Canby at his door. AA'e have no
peace policy. We have never changed
our old Indian system. We are still
using a policy which has cost us five
hundred millions of dollars and made a
track of massacre and murder from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The President
has—all honor to him for it —tried to
amend the working of our bad system.
He has taken the nomination of agents
from politicians, who used it as reward
for political service, and he has given
it to the different religious Ixxlies of the
country. This plan has worked well.
It has taken away some of the most
glaring evils of the old system. It has
given the Indians agents who believe
in God and are ashamed to steal. The
President has also appointed a commis
sion of philanthropic christian gentle
men to watch over the Indians, investi
gate their wrongs, examine Indian con
tracts and try to eradicate the worst
features of the old system. Any reli
gious body which has an executive com
mittee to car* for its financial and mis
sionary operations may have the nomi
nation of th* agent and employees of
such agencies as the government com
mits to their (.are, and for their conduct
this religious body is held responsible.
The plan las been more beneficial
than its most sanguine friends could
have hoped. It was inaugurated when
we were at wtr with nearly even- tribe
west of the Mississippi. Hundreds of
Indians have become civilized and chris
tianized. AA'lk're six years ago you only
heard the horrid sounds of the scalp
dance you nov hear songs of praise and
the voice of prayer. The Episcopal
Church has foir Indian clergymen and
hundreds of communicants, and Other
religious bodies have been equally bless
ed. The worst evils of the old system
of Indian contracts have been done
away. It is 10 longer the custom to
cheat the Indaus iu the price and the
delivery.
There are evils which lie at the foun
dation of all our dealings with the In
dians, and the time has come tc look
them plainly iu the face. The Presi
dent and Secretary of the Inferior are
powerless. Congress alon p can change
our Indian system and they never re
form anything until pe people demand
it.
AVe want the Indians' land; civiliza
tion claims it for its necessities; it must
and will have t. The land belongs to
the Indian. It is endeared tohim as the
home of liis fafcers; his claim is one we
cannot gainsa'. The Supreme Court
of the United States has decided that
the Indian hai the jossessory right to
the soil. He nay aot transfer it to an
alien t>ower, but m title can pass until
the value of this possessory right has
been paid. Ahab may covet and take
Naboth's vineyard, but such transfers
have never been profitable to the jtosses
sor. We come now to the bargain.
The parties are a christian nation and 1
a heathen people. Most of our treaties
have been shameless frauds. The par
ties who were most interested did not
know each other's wishes. Their heads
were on the interpreter's shoulders. If
the treaty is made there is always a loop
hole for another. The tribe is taken,to
a reservation. The hind is under the
care of the United States. It is not
subject to territorial or state laws.
The old tribal relations which made the
chief the leader of a clan are broken up.
The chief's power for good has been
weakened. No laws are made for the
Indian. No judicial officer resides on
the reservation. No one is appointed
to execute law. There is 110 other pro
tection to property, person or life than
the good-will of the Indians to one an
other.
The theory seems to be that a savage
people, emerging from heathenism, are
such models of propriety they can get
on without government while white
men cannot live without law—society
with them would become chaos. Man
hood cannot be perserved without indi
vidual rights of property. The absence
of law fosters savage modes of life. It
leaves the industrious helpless. An In
dian gives up the war path, he has his
hair cut, he builds a bouse, he tills the
land and plants a crop; a savage insults
his wife, destroys his crop or kills his
cow. He has no redress. lie can fall
back 011 his old savage hatred and kill
the transgressor, but we have taught
him this is wrong. The law does not
regard an Indian as a man. An Indian
kills another Indian, (it has happened
again aud again in Minnesota)—no ques
tions are asked. If a foreigner had killed
another foreigner we would hang him
for killing a human being, "Ilole-ln
tbe-Dy," tue head chief of the Chippe
was, was an American citizen. He was
murdered iu broad day; the murderers
were known to hundreds but not the
slightest effort was made to arrest the
guilty. As the government does not
protect the Indians white men have r.o
respect for their rights; so license, rob
bery and murder go unpunished. The
cause which lies back of all Indian mas
sacre is some story of wrong. A mob
hung two Indians at Brainard for the
alleged murder of a white woman, but
few remember that within a stone's
throw of the alleged scene of that mur
der an Indian woman died by the bru
tal violence of white men. I can recall
many instances of such unprovoked
murder. The government has pledged
to give to each civilized Indian one hun
dred and sixty acres of land. No pa
tents which convey the title in fee sim
ple are issued. As titles the certificates
granted are useless. They leave the
title so that greed and cupidity may
clamor for the Indian's removal.
The remedy is simple: In every trea
ty the just value of the Indian's posses
sory right ought to be paid; the govern
ment should hold this as a sacred trust
for its wards. The sum will in every
case l>e ample to care for him until able
to care, for himself. The Indian must
be placed under law; these laws must
be plain and, at whatever cost, must be
enforced. A judicial officer —a stipen
diary magistrate—ought to reside on
on every reservation, and with such
constabulary force as is necessary to
execute the law. In most cases the In
dians could be appointed as such con
stables. But at v. hatever cost we must
have law and enforce it. The friends
of the Indians have always pleaded for
this, and they ask swift punishment on
those who comnvt crimes. The present
agents plead for this. For six months
one of the beet agents in the country
has warned us that an Indian war was
imminent because of the inefficiency of
our system, and that the lawless and
turbulent were allowed to roam at will
and commit crimes without fear of
punishment.
The Indian question will not be silent.
Thoughtful men arc beginning to feel
that we must meet it in the fear of God.
If you place ten white men and women
in a row with an Indian and tell the
American people we must kill the In
dian, but we shall have to kill the ten
of our own race first and it will cost us
one hundred thousand dollars, we shall
hesitate as to the wisdom cf the act.
It is exactly what wo have done for a
score of years. AVa cannot go on. In
Canada they have never had an Indian
war; we have seldom passed a year
without one. The secret is in "law."
The good are protected; the bad are
punished. We should aim at three
things:
First. We must break up their wan
dering. savage habits by paying them a
just price for their rights and placing
them on reservations which shall be
guaranteed to them and their children
forever.
Second. "We must give to them indi
vidual rights of property and protection
to person, property and life.
Third. We must add to this God's
best gift, the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
which has changed our own brutal Sax
on fathers into manly christian men.
With these refonns we shall have a
peace ]>olicy worthy of a christian peo
ple and the efforts of the President, for
which he deserves our gratitude, will
not be in vain. Faithfully yours,
11. B. WHIPPLE,

LOUISIANA —Civil Rights for All
NEW ORLEANS, June 17.—An ad
journed meeting of the Committee of
White and Colored Citizens was held
last night, when the Committee on Reso
lutions presented a series of ten resolu
tions, preceded by the following pream
ble, which were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, Louisiana is now threatened
with death in every vital organ of her
material and political being; and
Whereas, Her dire extremity is but
the fruit of unnatural division among
the children of her soil and of her adop
tion; and
Whereas , We have an abiding faith
that there is love enough for Louisiana
among her sons to unite them in a man
ly and uuselfish struggle for her redemp
tion.
The first three resolutions define and
pledge the sigenrsto universal political
equality and fraternity.
The fourth resolution is as follows:
"We shall maintain and advocate the
right of every citizen of Louisiana and
of the United States to frequent at will
all places of public resort and to travel
at will upon all vehicles of public con
veyance, upon terms of perfect equality
with any and every citizen, and we
pledge ourselves, so far as our influence,
counsel and example may go, to make
this right a live and practical right;
and that there may be no misunder
standing cf our views on this point—
"First —We shall recommend to pro
prietors of all places of licensed public
resort in the State of Louisiana the
opening of said places to the patronage
of both races inhabiting our State.
"Second —We shall further recom
mend that all railroads, steamboats,
steamships and other public convey
ances pursue the same i>olicy.
"Third—We shall further recommend
that our banks, insurance offices and
other public ccrporatipns recognise and
concede to colored fellow-citizens, where
they are stockholders in such institu
tions, the right of being represented in
the direction thereof.
'Fourth—We shall further recommend
that hereafter no distinction shall exist
among the citizens cf Louisiana in any
of cur schools or State institutions of
education, or in any other public place
of instruction supported by the State,
cities or parishes.
"Fifth—We shall also receommend
that proprietors of fouuderies, factories
end ether industrial establishments, in
employing mechanics cr workmen, make
no distinction between the races.
"Sixth —We shall encourage by every
means in our power our colored citizens
in the rural districts to become the pro
prietors of the soil, thus enhancing the
value of lar.de and adding to the produc
tion of -lie States, while it will create a
political conservation which i 3 the off
spring of proprietorship; and we furth
er recommend to aii land proprietors of
our State the policy of considering the
question of breaking up the came into
small farms in order that our colored
citizens and white immigrants may be
come practical farmers and cultivators
of the soil."
The fifth resolution pledges the sign
ers to endeavor to eradicate the preju
dices of color.
The sixth appeals to the press of the
State to co-operate in the objects set
forth.
The seventh deprecates all violence,
from whatever sources, and appeals to
both races to abide by the laws.
The eighth and ninth set forth the
patriotic impulses actuating the movers
hereof in immolating upon the altar of
common good all party ties and preju
dices of education.
The tenth is as follows:
"In view of the numerical equality of
the white and colored population we
shall advocate an equal distribution of
the officers of trust and emolument in
our State, demanding as the only condi
tion of our suffrage honest diligence
and ability; and we advocate this not
liecause of the oiliccs themselves, hut
simply as another earnest and proof up
on our part that the union we desire is
an equal union and not an illusive con
junction, brought about for the sole
benefit of one or the other of the parties
to that union.

Actual wear and hard usage is the

of a wheel, and they have proved the
Sarven Latent to wear longei than three
or four sets of the best old-style wheels.
When about to purchase a buggy.car

maker uses our make of the Sarven

be to your interest to stipulate for tin

only perfectly reliable wheel in use.
