tho noted moral firm of TVoodhull A
Clafllin, except In sympathy, and the

Tub Orkoon BKtcnsR. John Hip
lo Mitchell, tho "much married" Unit
ed States Senator from Oregon, signs
an address to tho pooplo of the United
States containing words of encourage
ment fringed with golden promises of
good bobavior for tho future on the
part of tho Republican party. John
approaches very near a "Christian
Statosman" in tho matter of precept,
but liko tho bjlunco, is dreadfully loose
in his practice.
How is This? Wo notico that one
of tbo county Commissioners in Ve
nango county drew $1,088 ont of tho
Treasury tho past year as wages.
There wore but 313 working days last
year, and tho Commissioners aro al
lowed 83 per day In that county, (fifty
cents more than in Clearfield), which
would make but $939,001 Well, Ve
nango is a "loyal" comity, and wo pro
Biime men aro paid for Sunday work,
and the balanco, $149, is no doubt ap
plied to charitablo purposes.
What a Prrr? It is announced
that tho "clarion voico of Beechcr"
will not bo heard in tho pulpit for some
time, and tho rostrum will not be em
bellished with the manly form of "tho
Sainted Tilton" for an indefinite poriod.
What a pity that two such groat moral
lights should be (o suddenly snuffed
out, and tho moral aontiments of those
great teachers bo lost What numer
ousjiarlor ornaments, and album em
bellishments will bo confiscated if those
two ornaments of society have succeed

Woodhull opens her scandal box. She
has been tho "chum" of both forycars,
and can tell the whole truth about them,
unless Plymouth Church bribes her
again to "dry up" and goto California.
A Watfr Siwt. A dispatch from
Eureka, Nevada, dated tho 25th, says
a terriblo water spout hurst up in the
monutnius on that day, and swept
through tho town, killing twenty por-
't sons and destroying a largo amount ol
property. At Wells,in tho same State,
, about thirty foot of tho Central Pacific
l Railroad track was washed but by the
biimting of a rain cloud, twonty-oight
miles cast of tho same place. Carson
City was also deluged on tho same day,
causing great destruction of proporty,
but no live wore lost.
- Pittsburg and Allegheny cities suffer
cred terribly on Monday last The
water roso fifteen feet within half an
hour In Saw Mill run, a stream which
passmt through the lattor ity, carrying
' away twenty-five or thirty houses and
killing from eighty to ono hundred
persons. Tho losses in Pittsburg and to
ruilroad property is also vory heavy
and It Is estimated that near two him.-
tiroa persons navo neon Rilled or
drowned. '

Trig (Jiuat Rcamjal. The iltn
liocchor infamy, now being developed
by those bright and shining start in
tho moral firmament, will make sad
bavoc of their Utopian (lime, and falls
upon society liko a thunderbolt Amcr
ica bus never been so gigantically dis
graced lieloro. If what these two
moral teachers ssy of etM-h other and
of Plymouth Church is trno, total de
pravity must lie tho ruling principle In
that Godless templo of justified oriuio,
the details of which, at givon by the
dully press, are too shocking fiir the
most depraved, and according to our
i oslomco lows tbo Department should
Hippross such scandalous publication.

LET AIL t)TOP AND THINK.
Let us reason together. Crimina

a man of bis error. False charges and
violent langiiago nevot bring about
harmony, but are very.potont in pro

political falsehoods aro tho weapons

it is our duty to doubt such statements
until wo Investigate tho truthfulnossor
falsity of his charges. Do not con
demn unheard. Even if such stulo

in abandoning our principles or our
party and joining the cnomy. "Prin
ciples, not men," is tho motto at tho
head of our paper, and no ono oau suc
cessfully combatotirposition. Personal
detraction and naked falsehoods can
nevor destroy tho right Lot us apply
these rules to our local political difH
cultios, and it will soon be discovered
by the honest inquirer after truth that
tho wrongs are more imaginary than
real. Is it wise to believo and accept
as truo what the Radical leaders say
of our trusted friends ; or had wo not
bettor exnmine and decido fi,v our
selves befbre wo take a leap Into the
dark ? Is it right to permit our pas-
Nions against nn individual member of
our putty to lead us to desert our prin
ciples and party? Those who act thus
generally hnvo some selfish object in

piiKn, ana luoir stories siiouiu lie re

stop and think. W ho are tho niomliers
of this imaginniy "ring"? Docs it com

this sonsolesa cry sufficient to cause
Democrats to turn Radicals and distrust
and turn from thoso whom we have by
long acquaintance learned to respect
and trust? Should old friends bo

us cxaminiifbf ourselves, and sec wheth
er our minds are not largo enough to
bridge over this "ring" chasm, and uie
our best endeavors to produce unity
and harmony in our arty.
What will it profit any ono to band
our county affairs over to the Radicals?
Look at our National and State aflttirs.
Wo need not go bo far from home.
What is tho situation of Indiana coun
ty? Compare tho indebtedness, fraud
and peculations in that county with
ours. There tho court records estab
lish tho corruption of tho Radical offi
cials to a largo amount. Hero ui our
county we dure and defy any one to
charge that a single dollar has ovrJr
been corruptly taken out of tho County
Treasury. In tho former county, as
woll as in a number of othor Radical
counties, there still hangs a huge bounty
debt, while ours is canocllod. M istakc
of policy in our county affairs mny
have occurred and show us tho coun
ty in which this thing has not happen

best of our knowledge, and if tho Rad
ical leaders know of any, why do they
not point them out and send tho per
petrators thereof to koep coinany
with tbo Indiuna officials in tho peni

It Is remarkable that those largo-
brained, Godly men, who stand nt the
head of the Radical party in this county,
fool their time away npon so small a
territory as Clearfield 'comity, when
two such lat-ge fields as tho Stato and
Nation are open for competition in the

started out to do by simply helping;
to band our Congressional, Judicial and
Senatorial districts and our oou nty over
to the Radicals a party stccjK'd in of

This whole vuestiou rests with men

Brazkn I mmtknob. The Radical
Address Issued by tho National Con
gressional Committee contains less
truth and more fitlakoods than were
ever embellished in a similar document
It has not ono word to say touching
tho Presidential and Congressional sal
ary grab, tho Sanborn contracts, the
J ay ne moiety robberies, or the District
of Columbia frauds. All the real
issues of tho day arc left In tho dark,
and a few columns of lying mid point

a party with "loftier aspirations," "wiser

elect honest men to Congrest this year,
They do not consider it necessary to

THE INSURANCE SXTS1XESS.
We have before us tho first annual
report of the Insurance Commiseiotior
of Pennsylvania for JS73, and wo make
tho following extract from tho Receipts
and Expenditures of tho Mutual Fire
Insurance Companies of this Stato.
Tho aggrogato statement shows that
ninety-six companies have collected

It will bo observed that tho pooplo
have paid tbeso companies nearly two
million dollars tho past year for tho
purposo'of protecting their property,
whilo they have receivod in return less
than twelvo hundred thousand dullai-s
fur losses, while $511,000, (nearly half
as much as was paid for losses) is con
sumed in Ralarie and expenses, and
$283,000, sticking in tho pockets or the
officer and agents.
If any man will pay us $20, or $2,000,
or $200,000, for tho protection of his
property during 1874, or any other
year, wo will enter into bonds to pay
bun back tbo one hulf of nil money at
the end of tho year should his house
bo burned down. That would be busi

Yet, it seems not to be heeded. A far
worse method of depopulation is now
going on In South Carolina and Louisi

shed by Americans over tho political
wrongs of Ireland, yet tbo Irish people
have not suffered half tbo wrongs at
tho hands of the British government
that the pooplo of tho States named
have at the hands of the Washington
authorities. Tho agents of the former
government sent into Ireland aro gen
erally educated and understand their
duties, whilo the agents of the latter
sent to tho Mntos named are negroes,
carpet-bagger and Rcaluwags, of the
most venal and degraded stamp, one
of whom will consume more of tho real
products or a State in ono month than
an Englishman will in twelvo months.
Americans had better understand that

God knows that Ireland is governed
badly enough, but look at tho "free aud

Their wrongs aro four fold when con

HIICKALIW'S PATKST,
by which minorities are given repre
sentation, has boon praetienlly appliod
in this eity, and it works like a oharm
tor tht party but is sovore on tho pub
lic. No bottor nomination! were ever
presented for public confirmation than
tho three nominees for Orphans' Court
Judges made by tbo Republican party
of this oily. Ktmnllv as iinod soloo-
tlons wore mado by IheDomoorals
tor 11,0 tamo ofnoe, l hoso nomina
tions were mado upon tho American
prinoiplc that majorities rule, in this
contest whichever party carries the
most voles will oleot all throo of thoir
Judicial candidates. The nominations
upon oithor sido aro truly a reflex of
the popular wilt.
Wo also elect two Judges or tho
Common Ploas Court, and horo"Buck
alew's I'ateut" interferes by limiting
each man's voto to ono or the two can
didates to bo chosen. As the single
nomination mado by oithor part)' is
equivalent to nn election, tho politi
cians took charge, of tho matter, and
the Domocintiooandidato for Common
l'lons owos his nomination as clearly
to "Bill M'Mullln," of the Fourth
ward, who onginoercd the Conventions
for him, as docs the nominee of tho
Republicans nwo his seloelion to Col.
William B. Mann. Kachcandidntoof
tho Common Pleas is as fairly a rep
resentative of the party, as tho Or
phans' Court candidates aro of tho
people,
Itiicknlow's patent for securing mi
nority representation is the best do
vico ever presented to socuro nomina
tions that truly represent "the party."
It will ho noxt applied in tlio selection
of tho two candidates for tho Snpreme
Court.
A number of prominent Domooratio
statesmen met hero a few days ago
not by any prc-nrrnngomont howev
erand went into a thoughtful and
doliherato discussion of tho situation.
They regard it as the most preposter
ous folly for any Democrat to even
have a thought of Grsnt in connection
wilh a third term ; they wore unani
mous in this that the Kxecntive heel
has been upon tho Dcmorrncy of the
Southorn States ever since Grant's
elootion to the Presidency and that
tho nowly fotind love for Grant on the
part of Southern Democrats, when
oarcfnlly analysed, comes only from
thoso looking for Presidential favors.
The ('residential question was also
pretty freely discussed and one thing
was apparent from that conversation
that Pennsylvania's ohoice for the
Presidency on the part of the Dem
ocrats lies between SonatorThnrman
of Ohio and Governor Hondricks of
Indiana, wilh tho odds favoring the
Buckeye statesman.
I may also observe that from the
conversation of the coterie of leading
men that while all wore fixod in their
determination to present none other
than a straight out Democrat for the
Presidency, they were entirely willing
to concede the second plaoo on the
ticket to a Liberal, like Gov. Curtin
of Pennsylvania, or Honatnr Booth of
California.
Tho line of demarcation now being
closely drawn botween the whites and
blacks of tho South was incidentally
alluded to. No reflections wcro cast
upon those prominent in drawing that
lino.
hnl little was en id relative to the
U.S. Senator to ho chosen hy the
Pennsylvania Leglelattirenext winter.

25 biddore ranging from 55 conts per

was awardod to Edward McGluo at
711 conts tho yard and now Henry
Bocker who oflbred to do it at 65 ap
plies for an injunction to restrain Mo
Gluo from performing tho work.
Becker is as capahloof doing tho work
sa McGluo, and the difioronco is only
$100,000. But thnt is nothing, for
only a short timo previous a contract
to build a bridgo at Fairmount was
awarded at an amount exceeding the
lowost bidder by $.170,0(10. The con
tractor for doing tho stone work of tho
Publio Buildings was only $100,000
higher than his lowest competitor.
Here are three measures alono by
which a million dollars aro takon ont
of the Treasury for which no equiva

Tho report of our Chief of olico

John Ranghley, who killed Tyler
Starling in Columbia, Sonlh Carolina,
in 1805, voluntarily gave himself up to
tho polico authorities of tho city a fow

stating that ho had no pence of mind
day or night since, and that death
was preferable to such a slate of ex

IMPORTANT TRUTHS:
Hai ing eneoeeded la getting a lighter tariff ea
material, hence tho low and moderate charge for
partial and full aeta of Teeth. I aae tbe best
manufacture of teeth and other material. All
0 pcrationa registered and warranted to give er
vice and lalipiaelien.
Friend, reflect that my ebaraei for the Inser
tion of artificial aad tbe eavieg of tbe nataral
teeth are now the moat reasonable In Pennayivania.
Prerarre your teeth and yon preeerre yonr health.
Patting of the natural teetb in a healthy, pre
servative and useful edition la made a specialty.
Ifiaaaxet and mairurmattoneeommon to tbe meethi

with fair aaoooai. Ukaminatioae aad eonaalu

It would be cll for patieata from a dirtance te
let me know by mall a few day before eeming

It l very important that children bet weea the
egos of all and twnlra years ehoild have thtlr

Aomsihctlea are administered aad Teeth re
moved without pain.
DlNpoaitlone end character are judged by all
tho world by the eipreseione ef the face, bence
bow Tory diaaetroua may it therefore be for per

even apart from a hygien.e view. Now, lo enjoy
netural (not artificial) comforts and pleasnree,
respect end obey natural simplicities and instinct.
