Sumo minds never get beyond btirbur ;r. i.i.. ' ;:f, r.. ' . -. . - ..-.) Itnircr like idle cchool boys, iu time's first lessons, nlwavs. 1. Tho carliotst lypo of personal power is tho Physical. Tho first heroes were Kimrods, mighty hunters in tho chaso and mighty warriors in tho bnttlo. They were ewift of foot, thoy were stalwart of frame. Ihev woro long iiiiu Birong 01 ai m unu iireiebs in hazardous deeds. They wcro deep chested, thin -flanked, bold breasted and made up of all tho approved points of personal knighthood. They wcro cool ond dauntless of eyo, and ad vanced upon danger wilh a confidence in the prowes ol their own good right arm aguintt whatsoever odds Their foes wero wild beasts in tho forests or tho amphitheatre, or re doutublo champions on tho plains and in tho passes of heady fight, or fiereo castled robbers, brutal ond strong. whose fortresses they scaled, whoso brigand heads they hung out over tho cnstlo walls. So thoy pass boforo in along tho scenery of their times, men not ot words but ol deeds, grim spec tros, bl od stained, tho peerage of human muscles; tho best was ho who rodo the boldest steed, who leveled tho stoutest lanee, who whirled tho heaviest msec, who struck wilh deep est dint. They loom up in tho mists ol old romance, man and borso, blunu cu centttttr like, slioalhcd in iron, car rying in their single puissance tho fortunes of kingdoms and dynasties To tlietn tho lyto was struck, ol thorn tho minstrel sung, fur thotn tho feast smoked, on them beauty mnilod. 1 ho elder Hercules was ono who could rend oaks and stranglo serpents. Tho modern has other labors onlv symbol ized by thoso of bis prototype. Wo shall never bo quito able lo suppross our odmiration br physical prowoss and yet this sort of hero has bad his day. Many things have combined lo pusli bun off tho staire. Iho world in its various progress has out outgrown him and left hitn behind with its own boyhood. Changing sentiments have depreciated this gladiulorial and Ro man virluo, and tho invention of a small, black, nitrous dust, called gun powder, has swept the knights and their train out of human story. Per sonal greatness is no longer a question 'of thews and sinews. To bo strong now is not, to oxccl in bone and brusvti 2. The next typo of personal power is thul derived from Imlh and blood and place patrician qrcatness. This soil of hero d fives across the stngo chariot cd, coroucled and titled. Ho bears a iiattio mado illustrious by dead men who lio in stato. He dwells amid bit armed retainers and receives feudal homugo. His lordly castle overlooks bis subject lands and the homos of his peasunlry. J 1 o rides with so many Hpcur ul his back, and when ho goes to court, men give In in precedenoo ami consideration, not according as ho Is getitlo in spirit, truo in heart, noblo in purpose and ptiro in life, but nocording to tho length of bis buried lino and the number of Iho stius blazoned on his breast. When he stands among his peers he is first or least in his casta by descont and rank rather than by worth. We still cherish some little portion of this feudal deference and ittako way with decent homago for the Well born. But thii greatness is in our day only a bhadowy effigy of its ouco ducal preeminence Tho time has past, nt least wilh us, on these republican shores, when men wield largo infltionco, solely because thoy stand high on a heap of ancestral bones, or enter the social sculu on tho loltiest level. Not tho crown, but what it circles, is tho question note ; not iho emblazoned slur, but what beats be neath itj not the fountain, but tho redness of the blood that flows in tho vions. 3, Next aroso in history tho typo of personal power derived from Wealth, It would bo Interesting lo Jraco (he rlio and progress and coro-l PRINCIPLES CLEARFIELD, PA , WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER nalion of the almighty dollar, had wo time. Suffice it to any, lltul tho peoiM of this now order of nobility are men of redoubtable force.' Throned on their money bags they bold a sceptro unto whose lilting and poising a mul titude of dependencies bend the knee. Of course, in their personal and indii viduitl Bpltoro, thoy carry about with! them something of tho atmosphcro of this wido and potent influenco. They move with the trend ot solid men. Their going out and coming in carries a presence with it. Their forms nndj faces, and even thoir words, sro over; laid wilh gold-loa'f. Their quarter m tho court end, their circlo is good so ciety. Their way of doing things isjdors of onthusiasm, ull that was geno-llisbioiir'-Aitd Totp. Jut uuo ft ai.wi rcuit, chivalrous and Keif devoted in gilded poors bo a narrow-souled miser. how liko a great blot lio bis mansion and surroundings on tho smiling landscape ; how men shiver as thoy hurry past him out of tho cold shadow into tho sunshine Let hitn bo u mean man, how everybody despises him, even thoso who fawn. Let him be a sharp, hard man, and what low ering looks follow him behind his back. Let him win and spend selfish ly how few bless him, or ure wrought upon by him, with any doplh of Im pression. Let him be without person al characteristics, moro impersonal inearnnto wealth, how fleeting the reign of his influence, how low tho in terests bo has touched and shaped. In tho bust of bis power, this man deals so primarily and largely with mutorial unci perishublo investments, that as a moro man of wealth, the secret of furthest, most lasting influenco is not his. 4. A yot loftior type of personal power than any we bavo nuinod, is tho Intellectual. As tho soul is tho truo man, intellectual stature is real stature. When man comes in contact wilh man, and stronglh it measured against strength, intellectual preemi nence, moro thnn all other advantages yet signulizcd, is real preeminence. The force of this power is far felt and permanent. Its monuments aro htato ly and enduring. A word, a thought, pass out over tho tiulions and wing their flight down tho ages. They become seeds of thought, and condi lions and stimulants of mental activi ty to millions of minds and many generations. They hovo tho keys of ull souls in their keeping, and open and enter in and sit down wilh tho air and welcome of a mSaier'. The live as watchwords and rallying crios on men's lips in personal sorrows and grent struggles. In them lives tbo life of their author. His works are not bis mausoleum, but his incarna tion, in which be still walks and tuWg among his fellows and bisdisciules.and suu ii ntuver Bee ucaiu. oun liu sings iu imtnor'al verso, still bis theses tench in the schools of philosophy, still ho stands beforo nuturo's secrol altars her high priest lo ull worshipper. Slill ho sways wilh burning period tho popular assembly, decrcs judicial decisions, guides etntesmanship and diplomacy, charms our evoning hours wilh sweet fancies, or guides along tho mighty gullaries of history, and watches through midnight vigils with the lono student, beguiled by such companionship till tho gray dawn smites bis eyelids and pales his faith ful lump. This is a crown lo firo tho rye of ambition. It is a huiglit to tempt ad veti tu rous feet. Hut this power, in its distinctive inheritance, as a lordship among men, is for tho low. It cannot be universal; its con ditions ore too exacting; it demand a lilo of uovotion to itscll ; it asks lor tho young, fresh years and the full slrongth. Minerva is a jealous di vinity. Sho will not divide the hom age ot her votaries with n rival. In tellectual pursuits,' in such measures as to confer intellectual command, cannot be joined to tho common every day toils of lifo by which men win their daily bread. Tho teachers, tho intellectual quickenors of their ago, in every department of mind, must bo mainly single and professional in thoir calling. Thorefore, if prccminenco here be a lofty stylo of personal power, it is routined to its clanships, it is not popular, ii is noi a uoon lor me mass es. It is a crown liko tho light of setting sun for Iho tall peaks, leaving tho lowor slopes and vales in the shade. And then as mere intellectual force, until it is veined with another life, it expend itself upon the intel- loct, or at furthest, upon tin sonsibili ly. It works beneath a cold sky. If it comes into the warm region of tho sensibilities, it docs not go down to tho vitalities of diameter, and breatho through all Iho channels of tho heart the spirit of lliu dully life. It is not oven a power to soothe and bless Us possessor, lis fruit turns to, ashes upon tho lips, and many a disap- pointed uspn-uia ior inioitociuiw grcsn,- ness eonfeascsnt tho lust, in bittornoss that of life." Let us look again, for yot another typo of personal power, subject lo nouo ot these conditions, whilo yet it shall gather to itself iho best lilo and meaning of ull that havo preceded it. 5. Wo must call this trtior and bot-vl,r il inmates, and makes tho men tor kind, Moral Power. Its scut i.ber of a family peacoablo and con tho moral nnluro, the conscience find ;'doralo of each olhor's feelings and tho heart. Its lifo is tho central Inw happiness. Tho connection is obvious prescribed by tho supremo moral between tho stato of mind thus pro- Governor. Tho law of his own being tho furco thnt ncayi omnipotence the law, tho force of lovo. Il is ever obe dient to tbo right, becauso it is lovo. r or right is some beings duo, and love cannot withhold anything that is duo to God or mnn. Kor tho same reason il is just it is unselfish ; il goes forth in benollccnce,whonovorand wherever it ninyasn full fountain flows down in its open channel. Tho model of this lof tiest, holiest power, is seen in the lilo of! inn uespisa nuzarone, us granaosi con summation ami ils divinosl innpiration at tho Croa of the immuculalo Son of God. This is tho power that more and more asserts miprcmaey in jmr day. Ho who lakes strongest hold of bis ago must work by this, Jli con. noi'lion wilh human interests and des tinies must bo, for his most controlling influenco, not a superiority in height ol sluturo, In height ol pluce, in wolght of purse, in breadth of intel- lect, but amoral connection -n taking t . .(. V ' NOT MEN. hold of tho elements of this new and latest royalty. This inheritance, too, is universal. It is not restricted to a favored few. ' Tho humblest mind, tho lowliest placo, moy wield this preemi nent force. Any heart that can bold and uso tho truth that can make right sacred and regnant to ilsell that can fcc.1 the glow and shed the light and warmth of love, tharct this wido' royalty, becomes a partner in this controlling supremacy.' Now, ull lit at wns good and vital in other and outlawed types of personal forco, is restored and immortalized in Ibis. Here comes hack, lo light tho eye and lire tho heart, und kindlo heroin nr. lix. (lav und storv of kniihlliood.

Tbo intellect may bo wouled to it. Great thoughts aro like (rested waves on this mightier tido. Ilo-cin is the clearest mental il lumination, Lovo is light. God is the fathoi of light God is lovo. Here, then gather, too, upon Iho heart, tho inspiration of thai peerless nobility, that anccstrv. celestial and devine, whoso crest is tbo brooding dovo, whose motto is "born of God " This style of living, that gathers about it these elements of power, cannot long do oliscuro even to human eyes. A balo begins soon to surround this mar.' head. His presence reproves rice and hypocrisy and nimlessness. Mis brcuth quickens all languid souls. His strength help, till thnt aro weary and overborne Men bcrin lo look ip to him, to depend upon him, to loniit upon his definite, influenco. He s a depository of celestiul help for ivory good work and every hnrrasscd ipirit. Ho is a pillar of hopo in all ill o high places of tho Geld. God und nan build upon him as an approved tornor stone ; tho church builds upon i i in ; tho world build upon htm; hristianity mid its author build upon litn.

And when God's Kcord spreads out its scroll forstudi cus eyes in yontler world, his renown vill bo bi'h with hoavcn'l plumed pnerugo.

Generally, tho -V. I'.

A suspension of tho writ ol habeas corpus by tho federul government in any of tho States iu timo of peace would have been regarded formerly as a very serious matter, lloth Ameri cans ami Knglish all peoplo of Iho Anglo Saxon raeo have ever caro fully guarded thoir civil rights as pro tected by the writ of habeas corpus, ami have taken alarm at the first step to deprive tlietn of theso rights. Tho writ of habeas corpus bus been regard ctlj.ts tho bulwark of liberty, and it is this which more than anything olsu led lo tho freedom which wo enjoy. But times havo chunged. Our Into civil war and the demoralization which resulted from it have destroyed in n mcusuro tho watchfulness of tho Ameri can people over their liberties anil jealonsr of the encroachment- of arbi trary power. .IUW tllU X U-BIUrili III the United States suspend the writ ot habeas corpus in a section of our common country nnd little notice of il is taken, as if it wero a malterof ordi nary occurrence or of no importance us if, in fact, no great principle wore involved. Tho proclamation of tho President, tinted Washington, Oc tober 17, 1S71, which was published in our issue last Wednesday, places tho counties of Spartanburg, York, Marion, Chester, Laurens, Newbury, Fairfield, Lancaster and Chet-terlield, South Carolina, under martial law, on tho ground that combinations and conspiracies exist to obstruct and hin der the execution of tho civil law, and that tho federal government is called upon to suspond the writ at habeas corpus ond to govern by military au thority, in accordance wilh tho act ol Congress passed last April. If the public mind were nol so demoralized und so indifferent to this exercise of military authority in time of general peaco thero would bo a moro search ing inquiry ns to tho causes for a ne cessity of this extraordinary action of tho government. l'ortunatcly, Iho independent press ol tin country is I roe to discuss l no conduct of tho government and to call attention lo tins important matter. The independent press, as Junius said, is tho pnlladiiim of our civil nnd re ligious liberties. Let lis see, then, what foundation thero was for pro claiming martial law and croatingsueh a dangerous precedent for exorcising arbitrary power in this free republic. Tho President tell us in his procla mation that combinations and conspi racies oxist in the counlios placod un der mnrtiul law which cannot bo reached by tho civil law, and these ho calls rebellious nnd insurrectionary. Hy this ho menus what is generally known as tho Kn Klux. The changes nro rung on such expressions ns con spiracies, organized and armed com binations, violence, defiance of the con stituted authorities, nnd so on, but thero is no evidence of rebellion or in surrection eithor in the sense ironornlly understood or of tho constitution of tho United Slates. Tho Inw of Con gross on which ho bases bis action may bavo given a new interpretation to rebollion or insurrection which wns never meant in tho constitution, and ho may bo acting strictly injeonl'ormi ly wilh that, liul tho Itiwlossnes of a few individuals, which at most only extends to a sort of lynch Inw in pun ishing obnoxious persons or thoso who nro guilty of crimes, cannot bo con slriied into rebellion against tho gov crnmont. In fact, there Iibs been no such rebellion or insumvlion. Nor havo tho proper constituted local an Ihorities called upon tho federal gov ernment lo suspend tho civil law, as is required by Iho constitution. Governor'Seotl, of South Carolina, when asked thrco weeks ago if ho wero opposed to martial law, replied, "Most unequivocally I am, nnd those men who nro so clamorous of mnrtiul law ore pursuing a mistaken policy." Ho said, moreover, that ho had no idea General Grant would declare martial law, that ho (tho Governor) was not in favor ofll, and that ho thought tho civil law wns moro 'of!! elcnt. What better authority does tho administration want thnn tho Governor of tho Slnto, who is ono of its own partisans f Then tho Hlste is under Radical government, and most ol tho authorities in il are op posed to martial law.

No doubt thero have been deplorahlo out rages upon individuals by local bands, nnd probably the Civil flights bill of Umgress may have boon violated in soino cases. No good citizen would attempt to juslily these. Hut such crimes aro not peculiar to South Caro lina. Crimes as bad or moro heinous aro committed in ull Slates, and it would bo easy enough to attribute them to Klu Klux if It should suit the federal govornmont to do so for no liticul end. Indeed, there miultt bo no limit to federul interference in the local affairs of the several States, or cvon in this city of Now York, if the proclamation of martial law i to fol low tho commissiou of similar crimes as thoso perpetrated in South Curolinu. should iho clamor of a few partisan politicians bo heeded more than the principle of local relf government, upon which tho fabric ol our institu tions rests, thero w ill bo an end to civil liberty. Il is u curious fact, showing the recklessness of Iho administration in the high handed course it is pursuing, Ihul one of the most quiet counties in the Mate of South Carolina, that of Marion, i included in thoso placed under mnrtiul law, whilo tho work ol Ku Klux county Union is omitted This Governor Scott, it is paid, admits, though ho says, in pullitation of the conduct of tho administration, it must bo a clerical error, if it be necessary to put u portion of South Carolina un der martial law, for crirno against individuals, what should bo dono in North Carolina, where a few bandits successfully defied ull tho constituted authorities? Nothing has occurred in South Carolina sinco the war com parable to tbo frightful depredations und defiant conduct of theso bandits in the adjoining Slate entrenched in tho swamp for months nnd commit ting tho most diabolical murders mid other fearful crimes. So wo might re fer to tho banging of negroes in Tenn essee recently by iho pnpulaco with out Inw in detianco of iho authorities for outrages committed on w hite wo men, or to muny other lawless nets both in the South nnd North. Where in fact, would thero not he found u pretext for the exercise of federal military authority if the government should wish to strain tho law for that purpose, or bad u political object lo accomplish f Tho President believes perhnps.lhat ho i doing bis duty, Wo are not wil ling to think otherwise.

GREAT FIRES OF THE FAST' Among the grout conflagrations -of tho past that of London in September, Kjii'i, will always stand pre-eminent for il terrible destru Jliveness. It fol lowed upon tho great plngtio which carried 0IT0110 lliird of the population iu the previous year, und swept ovor nearly hvo-tixtlisol liiespaco lueltideit within Hie city walls at that date. It lastod four days, ami tlio ruins covered 4:10 acres, it destroyed 80 churches including St. Paul's,! tho Royal I'A- cbungo, tlio Custom houso, Guildhall, .ion College, and many other public, huiltlingsjicsides 1:1,200 private houses. our nunoreii sircois wore luid waste, and nbout 200,(11)0 of the inhabitants of tho city wero obligtid to encamp for somo timo in Iho open fields of Isling. ton and Highguto. Tho most dittas. Irons flro thut has occurred in London sinco lhat drlo occurred on tho 2"th of March, 1 7 4 Mf when two hundred houses in tho Cornhill Wurd wcro ties, troyed. Many destructive fires havo occurred in tlio Hritish metropolis nt later dates, tho most recent worthy of special note being the burning of tho cotton wharrc of Tooloy street in Juno and July, lHtil. Tho firo con. tinned raging with greater or less fury for nearly a month. Several persons woro killed, and property was destroyed to the value of 2,000,000. On tbo 6lh of May, 1K12, a firo broke out'in iho city of Hamburg, Germany, which raged with great fury for four days destroying about ono third of tlio city. Sixty-otto streets, containing 1,"J7 houses, were utterly laid waste, anil thousands of peoplo were rentier, ed homeless. There wero fc,w public buildings of vnluo destroyed, and that portion of the city was quickly re. built in a much more substantial man. nt r lhan before. In this couiitryfgreatS fires, especi ally before tho days of improved firt engines, havo been comparatively fre quent, and New York has had her full share fit September, Ii ili, soon alter the city came into the hand of tho Hrilish, 50U houses 'wore destroyed, forming at that time a largo portion of tho town. Tito buildings were rather huddled together at tho lower ond of tho island, and w ero mostly of wood,' and tho district west of Dtoud wny and below Cotirlland streot. was swept bare. Now Y'ork was visited by another great' conflagration, Iho greatest in its history, on Ihe Kith of December, 1825. Six hundred ware houses, and property to the extant of over 820,(100,1100 were consumed. Our oldest inhabitants still rcmcmhor tho horrors of thai lerri bio disaster. On Ihofithof September, lx.Ht, tho city had another severe visitatien, when forty-six buildings anil property valued at 810,000,001) wero tlestroyod. Tlio next conflagration "of largo extent) in this city took place on the 10th of July, 1815, wlien!i02 stores and dwel ling in tho lower part of iho city were destroyed. Theso, however, wero of comparatively inferior value, tho wholo loss amounting to $f,00(i, 000. Four lives were lost on litis occasion. Sinco lhat; lime, owing to tho increased etlicieney of tho means employed to prevent nnd extinguish tires, they havo generally been con fined to u single building or a small group.

Twenty four acres of land within tho city limit wero covered with ruins. St. Louis bad n great fire in May, 1SPJ, whcn.lillecn blocks of bouses und twenty-throe steamboats woro consumed, causing a loss of over 8:!, 000,000. Philadelphia has been fortunate in having few great tires, but ono occur red in the city onthe'.Uh of July, 1850, which destroyed oiO buildings. Theso wero of intierior value, and iho wholo loss was but l,.Vl0,0iH), though 15 per sons wero killed, 0 drowned and 120 injured. A largo portion of San Francisco was destroyed in 1851. Onjlho .'ld of May n fire broke out which consumed nearly 2,5u0 buildings, causing a loss of ?:l,!i00,liilli and several lives. A littlo ovor a month later, on tho 22d of Juno, 600 more building were burned, valued at 8:1,000,000 or moro. Twelve acres of land in Syraeuso wero burned over on tho 8th of No vember, 1S.VI. About 100 buildings wero destroyed, and tho loss of pro perty amounted to 81,000,000. Tlio sceno most naturally recalled by Iho fearful disaster in Chicugo is the terrible celebration of tho 4lh of July in Portland, Me, in 1800. Tho leiding facts of tliat great event aro still fresh in the public mind. Tho tire, beginning in a bool shop on High street, swept north, and destroyed nearly ono half of the city. The pe cuniary loss was; nbout 815,000,000, and one fourth ol the population ren dered homeless. It seem probable from tho reports thus far received that the terrible fire in Chicago has no parallel in modern history, unless in the conflagration kindled by the war. I'.ven tho gront fire in London, though relatively, moro destructive, did not equal il in ' absolute extent. Tbo London of that, day was nol moro than two thirds of tlio si.o of tho Chicago of to-day, hav ing less lhat) 250,0110 iiihahitar.t ; and if, as reported, two thirds tif Chicago is in ruins, the desolated territory is far greater thnn tho five sixths of London said to have been laid waalo in ltiiili.
