CLEARFIELD, PA.
, Thursday Morning, Feb. 13, 1868,
The I'aulhamua Cant.
The outrageous conduct of Governor
Goeiry in thiscaso compel us to allude
to it agaiu, in ordor o get tho facts
before the public.
Daniel II. Paulhamus was tried at
last January Court, for porjury, and
was convicted and sentenced to tho
penitentiary lor the term of twenty
one months. The sheriff took him to
Pittsburg on the following Monday,
and on Thursday Paulhamus returned
to his home, with a pardon from Gov.
Goary. This was quick work in the
Executive, and must have been baBed
upon somo peculiar reasons. The un
rl minted lUuu In this case are as ibl-
lows :
In June, 1866, one James Johnson,
a, ronng man ot twenty one, who can
neither read nor write, returned to
Glen Hope, in this county, with an
honorable discharge, after serving over
three years in the 19th Pennsylvania
Cavalry, in Tennessee, Louisiana and
Texas. He had in his possession some
f2,20O in cash when he came back,
ud he went to work in the log camps
at chopping. lie kept his money
around him in a belt, and showed it,
iu February, 1867, to one Groom. In
March, 1867, when logging was ended,
bo went to Glen Hojh, where Paulha
mus kept tavern, and be alleges that
be lent to Paulhamus 11,100 of his
money; that a note was then written
by raalhamusfor the money, payable
in four months; but as he then had no
stamp to put upon it, he said ho would
get one and hand the note to Johnson
in a day or two. Johnson says that
in three days afterwards ho did de
liver to him a note, which was pro
duced ou this trial. This note is not
in the handwriting of Paulhamus, his
name is wrongly spelled, and it is not
negotiable. Ono witness, who was
uniui peached, swore that he saw John
son count tho money to Paulhamus;
two witnesses swore they heard them
talk subsequently as to the stamps on
the note; and three witnesses swore
that Paulhamus said he had borrowed
money from Johnson.
After the note was due, Johnson
brought it to Clearfield and loft it in
the hands of his attorney to be col
lccled; who wrote to Paulhamus and
sued on the note. After this, Paulha
mus camo to Clearfield, employed nn
attorney, and lurthwith commencod
proceedings against Johnson for for
gery; and, in obtaining the warrant,
be ewore that he never signed the note ;
that Johnson had forged it ; and that he
did not owe Aim that turn or any other
sum oj money. Johnson was arrested
and brought to jail, was hailed, and at
September sessions, 1867, was tried
for forcery. All of the facts were
fully developed ; Paulhamus was im
peached as a witness, and Johnson
provod a character of which any man
might be proud. After a patient trial,
Johnson was acquitted of the charge
of forgery. He then prosecuted Taul
bamus for perjury, in swearing out
the warrant upon which the proceed
ings were based. It was tried before
Judge Barrett, and occupied three
days in its trial. The jury was com
posed of seven Bentocrata and five
Republicans. Paulhamus was defend
ed by a Republican and a Democratic
attorney. Tho case was fully devel
oped. Johnson was a witness, and
was cot impeached. Paulhamus did
not offer to put his character in evi
dence. And, after full argument and
a most lucid and impartial charge
from the Court, the jury went out,
and after eight hours' deliberation,
returned with a verdict of guilty. A
motion was made for a new triul and
overruled, and the convict was sen
tenced to the penitentiary. Ilis coun
sel then said be would apply to another
power, and at once two petitions were
put in circulation, asking for his par
don. One was presented to Demo
crats, was in tho ut-ual form, their
sympathies for his family were oper
ated upon, and many signed it. An
other was prepared, fretting forth that
the defendant was the victim of xjliti
oal persecution, and that he had been
convicted by reason of his political
faith. The District Attorney uskcdi
the Governor to apply his rules to the
case, and require Ibe necessary notice; '
but he paid no attention to him, and j
only listened to ihe statements of the
counsel of Paulhnmus, who fnlscly
asserted that ho was tried by a Cop
perhead Ciurt, before a Copperhead
jury, and convicted without evidence;
and be was pardoned !
After such action on the part of the
Governor, it teems scared- worth
while to at tempt to convic t me.i ivho
are gnilty of crime.

ViidT this rapt ii-n tho editor f the
hurnal, last c.k, saw fit M thati'i'
iKa tuuf.t.r of Cum v for nl li"ist the 1
cause of it) cm tho Democrat, and
consequently arraigned the whole j

in fact as they aro unwise; and if not j
so. how does it happen that he knows I
all about it ! Has ho cognisance- of
the crime, either before or alter the
fact! If 10, then ho should, for the
sake of law and jubtice, mnko his
statement pluinly and in proper form;
but if ho can find n substiluto by which
to siibbtunliute his charge, then he
can be exempted, as ho was during
the war, and thereby relievo tho wholo
community of any doubts upon tho
subject.
The crime may have been committed
by a person who has heretofore acted
with tho Democratic party ; but does
it on that account become tho duty of
the editor to slander the wholo party 1
Why docs be chargo a crime, com
mitted by a single individual, upon all
Democrats f Would it not bo equully
fair in him to charge it upon tho whole
community? The man who for four
years justified and applauded every
species of crime, committed in our
midst, is hardly a proper person to
insult a decent community with the
chargo of murder, when there is not a
pariiuio of evidence attached to his
charge. Let him grieve, and shed
crocodile tears over this case, if he
wishes; but we hope ho will not re
main blind to the crimes entailed upon
us by his own partisans. The crimes
committed against religion,lnw, morals
and individuals by Lincoln, Stanton,
Butler, Baker, Benson, et al., are yet
fresh iu the memories of thousands,
and wo are glad to know that the his
torian has recorded them as a warning
to future enemies of the Republic.
The editor in question should wait until
the effects of the stupendous crimes
committed by his own party shali
have been erased from memory, if not
from history, before he falsely charges
one infraction of the law upon tho De
mocratic party. The air is still odor
iferous from the crimes he winked at,
and it would have been at least modest,
if not just, in him to have remained
silent about doubtful small matters,
while omitting to notice real weighty
ones. That charity which should al
ways bo found dwelling in the bosom
of a deacon, should not be smothered
with "malice aforethought," and those
who stand in tho front ranks of the
army of tho Trinco of Peace, should
not fire the first gun of revenge and
hate. If, however, the editor of the
Journal really desires the reformation
of individuals, parties, or Govern
ments, a big job hns been lying at his
own door for several years. The Scld
in which bis own political mn.
sion stands has a rank under
growth of weeds, and neods a hus
bandman badly. Who or what party
was it, we ask, that destroyed the
dignity and respect of the nation, by
disregarding and openly violating its
fundamental laws and debauching its
people ; not individual cases, but in a
wholesale manner? Was it not his
own party, led on by the "late la
mented" and that modern llaynau
Stanton? Why howl now, when
"nobody is hurt?" If our neighbor
is sacking missionary fields, we can
point him to a large one, not half cul
tivated, lying within the enclosures of
his own party. Perjury is very little
more refining than murder, and we
would be glad if we could get along
without learning that either had been
committed; but if, unfortunately ,these
crimes should continue, we hope we
shall always be charitahlo enough not
to chargo individual transgressions to
a party-, or wholo neighborhoods.
Whu parties organire to commit
crime, as the Black Republican party
did in I860, (and have aealously prac
ticed it up to the present hour,) they
ran be justly charged with all the
crimes they commit; but individual
transgressions should never be trea
sured up or charged against them.
The proclamations of Lincoln, the
orders of Stanton, tho tinkling of
Seward's "little bell," and the labors
of Baker and his satellites, are crime
wicked enough to have emanated from
the ante-chambers of bell ; yet this
deacon neighbor of ours has never
deigned to notice these violations of
constitutions, oaths, laws and indi
vidual liberties. The ribaldry, rob
bery and obscenity that occurred in
the White House not long since, and
the affair at the theatre on Good Fri
day night, should furnish material
enough for any missionary of medium
ambition; but they are passed by
with less notice than the last "break
up," '-probable amount of timber,"
"the weather," etc. The pestilence,
famiue und death, both physical and i
moral, introduced into this country j expenses of the Government twenty
by Lincoln 1 Co., ought to furnish J miliums of dollars annual!-. A simi
amplo material for any reformer and ( lar t ill has been introduced at Ilarris

for committing national crimes in a
wholesale manner, should be tho last
to upbraid his neighbors for ma'iifesl
ing their usual quietude when, unfor
tunately, an individual case of crime
occurs in their midst.
We had intended to let this lato
infraction of tho law pass, with a brief
notice, until acted upon by tho proper
authorities; but our neighbor having
prematurely opened the cuso for ad
judication, wo aro compelled to defend
tho community against his raids as
best wo can, nnd as mildly as possible.

A special correspondent at Harris
burg last week thus roferred to tho
citizens ot this county, in a communi
cation addressed to the Pittsburg
burg Commercial. He says:
''The eoinuiilteeon tlifl eonteslU election f ftafl
of Koliiion vt. Shiirert are fit! at work. Kijrlily
four witnesses on the part of ttio eontrstant have
already born examined, and there are ahont twen
ty yet that it if promoted to etamine by the coun
sel liir Kutiinsoll. Thry have catahlinhed bevulid
the ihadow of a itoubt that about one hundred and
Stty illegal and Irmudulent Totes were euit for Mr.
fcfuufcarL One of the wilneMe, an Irifihtaan
named Lucy it not expected to live, having been
met on hi way home, when within a mile and a
half of the town of Cloartield, by a ffangof Collin'
men and beaten almoit to death. At uiet acoountf
he waa atill unable to speak, and no hope enter
tained of nil recovery. O'MerH'f wife had lo leave
Clearfield laat week and eotue to thia city for pro
tection. Her hufband pent her on to the btate of
New York, ao that her lite ihuuid Dot be endanger
ed at the hands of Collins' employees. So won
der they shot down the offioers of the Government
in that eounty when they were trying to euluree
the draft of 1 63 and lsi-4. The testimony Ukeu
before this Committee will all be published, and
if it does not exhibit the most dt,vilisb plans ol
the democracy for carrying elections that ever
entered into any man's head, then 1 will acknowl
edge that I jim no jude of the total depravity of
man. Jrsii-s."
If "Junius" is not a subject of "total
depravity," there is no use of having
the article on hand. Jlo is terribly
excited over the "devilish plans of the
Democracy for carrying elections,"
yet ho knows that the loyal leaguers
for years have carried elections upon
the very plan that he condemns. The
re-election of the "late lamented" was
brought about in this manner.
Pamcal Reformers. We have be
fore us the Auditor General's Ilcpori
forlS62 and 1.8GK, which demonstrates
fully what '-loyalty" is costing the
people. The Legislative expenses for
the former year were one hundred and
eighty-fuur thousand fre hundred dol
lars, (1184,500,) being for the Senate
$54,500, and for the House f 130,000.
The expenses for last yenr were three
hundred and tirenty-one thousand four
hundred dollars, (8321,400.) The most
striking features in making up this
bill, are the expenses of tho subordin
ate officers. The Sergoants-at-Arms,
Door-keepers and Messengers of the
Senate, in 1SR2, cost tho people or.ly
",4r.O; vrliiln in 1 tlioai m offi
ccrs cost 115,610 three times. In
Ltho Houso tho fame officers, in 1862,
cost 87,821 ; but in 167, they gobbled
up 121,000. The Pasters and Folders
in the House, in 102, charged the
tax payers only f 6,605; while those of
1867, cost $20,612.
This statement of facts we think
demonstrates the unfitness of Radical
ism to rule. If the Tasters and Fold
ers could get along with 86.605 it the
midst of the rebellion, why could they
not get along with tho same amount
last year, in time of profound peace?
Auditor General. The approach
ing 4th of March Convention will 1
called upon to place in nomination a
Democrat of first-class obilities, for
AuJitor General. A number of gen
tlemen in different parts of the Slate
have teen named, and will be pressed
by their respective friends for the
nomination. Personally we are unac
quainted with all of them, except Gen.
Davis, of tho Doylstown Democrat,
than whom no better man need be
sought for. The nomination was con
feircd on him three years ago, with- i
out any solicitation on his part, or the
hope of an election; but yielding to
party requirements. he underwent the
displeasure of a campaign without a
hope of reward. Ilenco we deem it
no more than right for the approach
ing Convention to repeat their former
action, and give us Gen. Davis as one
of onr standard bearers this full. The
members of the press, and "the boys in
blue," would bo complimented by his
nomination, and the funds of tho Com
monwealth well cared for by his elec
tion. Bkcomino Ixonomical. Tho Ulatk
Ivepiihlican leaders at Washington
and Ilarrishtirg are orgsniy.ing them
selves into what they call Retrench

ing been so ontrageous and the Presi
dential election being now approach
ing, compels them to bellow retrench
ment. A bill has been introduced in-
to the Rump to curtail the ordinarr
rf(-tf,rr in the Legislative department !
alone. Now, if thissum of money can 1
be saved in the future, why has it been 1
necessary to thus rob the lax-payers
iu the past ! The legislative exjienses j
Inst year were in round nnmhers f.121 -

It is indeed lamentable that the
President nnd General Grant should
thus condescend to play tho bawdy
house politician, and speaks ill of the
party controlled by "gioat moral
ideas," who havo had them both in
truiuing for tho past six years. Con
gressman Morriasey is behaving better.

Tho Scalliwag, Stanton, is the au
thor of Grant's letters to the President.
They just read as thought they were
written by Selkirk :
"I am monarch of all I survey ;
My right there is none to dispute."
Tho impeachment infamy is being
revived.
The leading Kadicals have evidently
struck a bargain with the gold gam
blers. Several millions of dollars are
to be made and divided, during th;
manifestation of revolutionary symp
toms by tho Plumpers. As gold goes
up and tho national debt increases,
the prospect of these, political buz
r.ards brightens.
Harristiuro. We have paid some
attention to tho legislative affairs at
the State Capital, but cannot fuim a
a correct idea of what is transpiring,
at this distance. Legislation has been
reduced tosuch a science, that a coun
try "cozien" may sit and read the
Legislative Kecord a whole night, and
not bo ablo to tell what our agents
are doing. Tho Legislative vocabu
lary, although extemive, reveals but
little to the eye, when spread out
upon the pages of the Record. To
make a sure thing of it, it it necessary
to go to the spot, and cxamino tho
"marks upon the ground ;" and even
then, you must be able to dis
tinguish the marks made by the lobby,
Irom those of the members. Itistlways
in order for Senators and members to
send copies, or at least a synopsis, of
such bills as may affect their immedi
ate constituents, to some ono willing
to give public information ; but we
have no doubt they are so often over
whelmed with public duties, that the
weightier matters aro forgotten.

a lodgment upon the Northern mind
that we will ever submit to tho rule
of the negro. This crime against civ
ilization which the bayonet has been
invoked to uphold, notion;' but tho
bayonet must enforce. Whenever
that is withdrawn, ft is the duty of
tho white man at once to assert and
make good at all huanrdntho preroga
tives of bis race as rightfully the dom
inant one in tho South. The work of
such creatures as Underwood, llunni

swept away tho very instant tho sol
dier's inglorious duty of propping up
a negro power terminates.
There must be no tributo to black
GVsars (or Pompeys either) which the
soldier with his loaded musket holds at
the breast of his disarmed white brother
of tho South. Black rulers, magis
trates, legislators and tax gatherers,
must move with theirobsequiousbody
guards of Federal soldiers, in tho old
Dominion. Never shall it bo said that
tho descendants of Washington, Hen
ry, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and a
host of other great irginians, sub
mitted to be ruled by indicted incen
diaries and black and brown barba
rians. Tho pages of histoiy arc bril
liant with'uoblo examples of the patient
fortitude of a defeuted people proving
in the end more than a match for the
malignant nnd iuhnman insults and
outrages of their conquerors. The
bayonet ruled in Hungary for twenty
years, the people of that heroic tuition
never voluntarily surrendering a right,
and at last compelled a burned tyrant
to give them all which they claimed.
The Venetians proudly boast that,
during more than half a century of
Austrian rule, they never compromis
ed their honor by u single act of vol
untary submission to th e will tof the
conqueror, and dolivcrauee came to
them at last. And none o f these op
pressed nations ever had thrust upon
them by their conquerors a degradation
half as infamous as negro rule, the
fifthy, polluting, barbarous supremacy
of au inferior and despised race.

Forney's extravagant laudation of
the speeches of .Senator Morton and
Nye, in his letter to the I'rcss of Sat
urday last, induced us to look into the
newspaper report of them, to sec that
thry contained. Knowing Forney's
habit (f blowing loudest over the
worst failures, we did not expect to
find anything very brilliant in these
speeches. Nor were our cx eclations
disappointed wheu we read them.
Compared with the solid argument of
Mr. Dooliltle, to which thry purport
t o bo replies, they arc the merest chaff.
Those Kudical Senators strove to say
tmurt tilings, stub as would bring ap
plause lrom galleries filled with peo
ple of a very low ordor of intellect,
but even in this favorite roh of theirs
thev were not eminently successful.
In Morton's speech we find nothing
more brilliant than this in criticism
of "educational qualifications" of Mr.
Doolittle's amendments to theJtocou
struction Act that "they allowed
whito men to vote who did not know
.rW-tlS? m lyl Saa :

our readers will apreo with ns that
their is nothing very Wubsterian in
cither of these extracts. Hut Forney
mv have had special reasons for
puflinij tho trashy speeches of Morton
and Nye. There is a screw hxe in
his uccounts ns Secretary of tho Sen
ate. The handsome sum of thirty
thonsnnd dollars is missing, and some
evil-minded people are uiK-lmrilablc
enough to surmise that it may have
gone to defray ihe Secretary's expenses i "
to luurope last summer, as it went
about that time. It is reported that
all efforts to find where it went liavc
thus lar been unsuccessful, and it is
further given out that "it may be
necessary for tho Senate to take some
action in order to adjust the matter.

The Radicals were warm in their
laudation of Gen. Meado a few weeks
ago, but the1 have slackened oft since
Gen. Grant sent to Congress a com
munication from Meado recommend
ing the repeal of the infamous '-test

repeal he could not fill the offices in
his IMtitriet with persons fit to hold
them! This was a cruel stroke at the
honesty and capability of the black
and wLile Radicals in the South, and
it i keenly felt bv their sympathizing
brethren in the North.
