As wo go to press, (Tuesday after
noon) tlio Radicals are at ill trying to
"Hold tho Fort," but its no go. Tho
Credit Mobilior Mock business, and the
fuilo of Cadctships and Post-trader-
ships, etc, is played out.
Too Bad. A number of wicked men
over in Indiana county are conspiring
to defeat that eminent hero, patriot
and statesman, (ien. Harry White. Jt
is too bad that a fow restless spirits
cannot let that eminent citizen atone.
Tin Weak ik Sex. Of tho thou
sands ot lost and found artielos in the
depository on the Centennial grounds,
still unclaimed, all but ono single arti-
clo belongs to tho ladies. Ub I the
carclessnoss of tho creatures on great
occasions.
The New Museum. Tho pocket-
book and umbrella museum, on the
Centonnial grounds, is just now ono ol
tbo most attractive features ot tho
great Exhibition. Thousands of each
ore still on hand, bold lor tho benefit
of tho owners.
Read, Read I Tho "Massacre of the
Alamo," on our first page is nn artielo
lull of historical facts which should bo
treasured by tho thoughtful student.
The "War In tho Block Hills," and
"Reminiscences of General Anthony
Wayno," as well as "France aud Amer
ica," all partako ol an historical char
actor. '
An Kntehprisino Cuss. Rowan, is
the name of the Radical candidato for
Sheriff of Philadelphia., Ho is a mem-
bcrof tho Pilgrim band, and knows how
to fill up tho Registry list. Tho Judges
struck off tho list 1,077 names in Row
an's Ward, and 1,308 in tho adjoining
Ward. That is certainly a Radical
way to carry elections.
Startling Facts. Read South Car
oli lift's wrongs, as detailed on uur fourth
page, and then ask yourself tho ques
tion, "Is this a Republic, or a Dospet
ism?" On tho samo page will be
found that other potent fact, "Who
lought the war and saved tho Union ?"
Lot your children read the facts as
they occurred, and not as Radicals
havo distorted tbem.
The Capital Deserted. About
3,00i) Radical clerks loll Washington
on Satunlay, Sunday and Monday, for
their homes in the respective States
for the purpose of voting for llnycs
and Wheeler. Tho alarm is over
whelming and very demoralizing, in a
business way, but then, it's like all
other Radical ejTorts at conducting free
Govornmont a very expensive failure.
Tho editor of the Clearfield Repub
lican seems to tyinoy some of tho
Radical atumpors very much. Tho
idea of being "simply a clerk for my
lather," is an idea of hugo proportions,
and worthy of repetition. Wo ac
knowledge the corn, but we don't fool
so bad after all. Somo people as they
grow oldor loarn jnnro wisdom, and
eventually behave themselves pretty
well.
Samples. Judge McKually hud the
audacity to state at a Radical mooting
ntPonnville tho otbor night, that Potor
Cooper, tho "Groonback" candidate for
President, was tho son-in-law of Mr.
Tildcn. The fact is Mr. Coopor is 85
yoars of ago, and Mr. Tilden 48, and
was never married, but "koopa bache
lor's hall." Ridiculous as this stuto
uient is, it is nevertheless in harmony
with all the uttorings of the Radical
stumpers in this county during tho
sanvass.
.No, Sir I Somo vordant Radicals
"fell into" the belief that John II. Ful-
ford, Km., lato of Florida, was Chair
man ol the Radical County Committee,
lrom the fact that he issued a lengthy
farowell address, or something to that
effect. Rut this is not tho case. Thos.
II. Murray, Ksq.,"tho crowd" gathcror,
holds that position. This item is only
published for the information of those
Rods who claim that Fulford is Chair
man bccBiiso of his lengthy epistlo,
which he had recorded in tho Journal
recently.
Razeeing. The Phil'a Judges, in
passing over tho Registry lists of that
city, struck thorcfrom tho names of
21,250 persons, fraudulently entered
by the Assessors. Loss than 2,000
names wore stricken off on the petitions
of Radicals. This goes to show how
Radical Assessors do their work
Every ninth name they enter is I
fraud. And, this is done in our "city
of brotherly love," whoro the "grand
moral idea" venders have controlled
Church and State lor thirty years.
And yet, crime is as rampant thoro as
In Now York or Huston, whore it is
conceded that the wicked rule.
A Cheap Fraud. A fiaud of less
magnitudo, but equally as infamous as
the sale of trader-posts by Belknap, is
tho one perpetrated on the Postofllco
Department, by the publisbefwof Rad
ical nowspapors, by folding up a half
sheet of the Now I ork 'limrt within
their own sheets, and smuggling that
journal through the mails in half shoot
style without tho payment of postage
How blind I and what conscientious
buggers these Radical P. M s are, any
bow. Too honest perhaps to plunder
that delinquent Department thorn
selves ; but thoy see thousands of their
friends perpetrate the crime and still
keep quiet. How soen lbs publishers
of tbo Clearfield Republican would
"bo sent op," if they would fold a half
shoot of the Fariot, or any othor Dom
oc ratio journal inside of jt, for the
benefit and behoof of its readers. But
tha publishers or the Journal or any
other Radical organ can do it with
impunity.

A STEEET ILLUMINATION I
Ottr a .Tide of tlrr, Uanatrt,

ronM
Wo have spent many happy days in
Clearfield, but on Tuesday, October
31st, 187G, although not particularly
on exhibition ourself, wo felt like
clasping hands with tho thousands of
our Democratic friends (were it possi
ble) and got up a regular Centonnial
alfiiir right bore in tho woods of Clear
fluid county, notwithstanding tho hun
dreds of our pooplo who bud been de
coyed off to Philadelphia to see the
sights there.
We bavo witnessed somo pretty
largo gatboriugs in our county, Tho
celebrated Peace Meeting of 180 1, and
tho Centennial gathering on the 4th of
July, 1876, for numbors never wovs
exceeded until Tuesday a week. Ono
of our foreign speakers, who was not
born in tho woods, when he took a
look at the moving masses, exclaimed :
"Why, where in creatiou do all theso
people sloep in this pine country I llow
many are here from tho other Bido ot
tbo Allegheny Mountain I It's not
possible that these peoplo nil live in a
small circlo in this wild country I" Mr.
Gibson was finally persuaded that tho
crowd before him was a portion of the
Democrntio inhabitants of Clearfield
county. Rut to return : Tbo former
big meetings were thrown in tho Bhaile
on tho 31st ulk The afternoon parado
was ono of the quiotost and best dis
play in numbers that ever entered the
borough. Tbo torch light procession
at night was simply a wall of fire
around and through the town. The
exhibition w8s magnificent in the ex
treme; but when the sixteen loaded
cars arrived from tho eastern end of
la county, aud unloaded their human
freight at the depot, with tho bands of
music, banners and torches, the sight
was superlatively grand.
Chairman Test hud no idea in the
early part ot the day, that it would be
necessary to orgnnixo beforo ovening ;
but nt three o'clock p. in. ho Bin-rendered,
went to work with carponters,
etc., und erected a stand on Murkot
street in front ot the Mansion House,
lacing tho Court House. At about
four o'clock, he called the multitude to
ordor, or Tather tried to ; but it wis
"marching along," and music all tho
timo, until finally ho succeeded to call
a halt, when he moved that Hon.
Georgo R. Barrett act as President,
which motion was unanimously agreed
to, together with a long list of Vice
Presidents and Secretaries.
Judgo Barrott on taking tho stand
delivered a Bhort and pungent address,
odifying In his legal way tho many
crimes committed by tho party in
power.
At the conclusion of Judgo Barrett's
remarks Ex-Governor Biglcr was
called upon tbo stand and proceeded to
delivor the following practical speech :
speech or rx-oovntsoR mni.r.n.
I shall speak kindiv of tho musses
of tbo Republican party, for, in some
measure, they bavo my sympathy.
Thoy have been deceived and Letray
ed by their leaders. Thoy woro prom
ised purity in tho administration ol tho
govornmont, frugality and honesty in
tho use ol tbo public funds, a reduction
of taxation and peaco for all sections
ol our common country, tint tho ad
ministration has given them tho con
verso of every ono of those proposi
tions, and to establish theso allegations
only a few facts need bo submitted.
In eleven years of peaco nearly four
thousand four hundred millions have
been collected from tho peoplo for tho
use of the National Government alono,
being over four hundred millions per
annum, absorbing tho entire surplus
earnings of tho people, and out of this
the public dobt lias been reduced only
about fivo hundred millions. Per cap
ita taxation, which in Democratic
times was a nicro fraction, has thereby
been run up to eighteen dollars per
annum. Eighteen dollars for every
man, woman and child, black and
white, is a serious burden and is moro
than dnublo the pgr capita taxation in
r.ngland and Franco, countries distin
guished for oppressive taxation. The
ordinary expensos of the government,
which, twenty yenrs ago, amounted to
only sixty millions per annum, under
Grant's administration havo reached
the startling sum of two hundred and
ninety -four millious. Tbo plea somo
timcs put in that tho population of tho
country bus increased will not do in
this caso, for whilst it is true that the
population has increased twenty per
cent., the expensos bavo increased
more than four hundred per cent.
REPUBLICAN r.XTKAVAUANCE.
Now let ns look at figures still more
frightful, to wit : The total expenses
of the government from 1781) to 1880,
a period ot seventy ono years, amount
oil to tho turn of 1,415 millions, and
from 18G7 to 1878, a period of nine
Vcars of peaeo, the expenses amounted
to 1,300 millions, or within fifty mil
lions ol as much as the seventy ono
years preceding 18001 Is it singular
that the country, under such oppres
sive exactions, is exhausted ana par
alyzed? General Morgan, of Ohio,
has worked out a tablo showing that
our navy for tho last ten years has
cost 108 millions moro than for the
fifty proceeding years. Also that the
Indian Department, for the same poriod,
has cost twenty flvo millions moro
than for tho fifty years preceding, if
the advocates of the administration
think it politio to do so they can ac
count, In somo measure, forthese enor
mous expenditures by showing that
the army of office-holders had been In
creased from 44,000, in 1800 to over
100,000 under Grant's rule; lnd also
by showing that the defalcations In
the Revenue Department amounted to
over 12,300,000,, and in the other de
partments to about 12,700,000, in addi
tion. But they might as well answer
for enormous expenditures as for an
unnecessary increase of ofllccs and for
shocking defalcations. But tho pro
ceedings ot Congress, at its Inst ses
sion, show that tho Republican leaders
have an nngovornablo inclination to
largo appropriations. The estimates
submitted by the several departments
amounted to the aggregato sum of
1203,090,000. Tho committee on a p.
propriations in tho Honsp, being Dem
ocratic, reported in favor of reducing
tho amount to the extent of sixty mil
lions ot dollars, but tho Republican
Senate resisted this reduction and the
Dcmoc ratio House was finally con
strrinod to glvo way so as to keep tho
government In motion, and the amount
saved was reduced to 130,000,000 in
stead of 10(5,000,000. This item of his
tory presents a fair type ot the differ
ence between Democratic and Repub
lican policy. But the prodigality M.
liihlinhcd by the preceding figures
nil i k h into insi;iiillccuce when compar
ed with tho squandering of tlio lands
ut tliu lit'-jlilo by tho Republican lend
ers. 'I'hoy have voted away to various
cor .millions about 2J0,(IUO,'0O0 of acres
ot tlio public liimlK. an area cquul to
ton of tho largest States. A portion
nf thin appropriation ot publio lauds
may liavo been reasonably proper, but
in tlio main these lands have gono into
the hands ot speculators, who huvo
thereby (ruined great fortunes, for
dishonkstv adiiku Til ixtravaiiam-i.
So imiifh lor tlio promised oeonomy.
Now tor tho Imnenly ; and on this
n
il. t..
eucli I'lirHi would inuue u vuulliie. Willi
tbo Credit Mobilier steul tho whole
country is familiar. It was set up for the
ostensible purpose of constructing the
Pacific Railroad, and resulted in a cor
ruption fund variously esliuiated at
from seventy-fivo to ono hundred mil
lions. It threw its shadow over iiuiie
a number of tho Republican leaders,
and assigned them to obscurity foi the
remainder ol their days. The San Do
mingo enterprise, hail it been carried
jut to its lull proportions, would have
overshadowed any other swindle
known to tho history of this country.
Tho sharp practices in tho New York
Custom House, were in themselves a
Hcundul to the government. Tho oper
ations of the Washington, the Indian
and tho whisky rins bavo brought
shocking reproach upon lending friends
lot General Grant. Tbo Belknap cor-
yuption brought tho blush oi'sbuiuo to
ti.e cheek of every honest Republican
in Mio country, and those ol tho late
Attorney General Williams woro spe
cially disgraceful to tho administra
tion; but you nil know that abuses
and irre'iihtritics, if not actual corrup
tions, wero found in every department
of tlio government during the last ses
sion of Congress. Tho Pension and
l iuiting liurcaus were specially con
spicuous in this regard. i!ut enough,
for it will not bo denied that ibo pres
ent, administration, for irrcguliui'ics
und abuses ol power, for bad lailh tu.i
positive corruption, stands without a
parallel in tho history of tbo country.
UELl'SIVE PROMISE OF PEACE.
Now as for Grant's promises of peace.
How havo they been kept? Solar
from cultivating goodwill and fraterni
ty among tho peoplo of the States the
reverse has been his practice, llo has
given his countenance to all man nor
of cneroftc'.ments npnn tho Southorn
peoplo, invariably taking sides with
tho carpet-baggers who woro eating
out the substance of tho peoplo. His
nutrago upon tho Stnto of Louisiana,
by sending nn army to ovornwo tho
Legislature, has fixed an indelible stain
upon his administration, nnd just now
tho prcsonco of the army in South Cur
olnna, in derogation ol the Constitution
and laws, and for no other purpose
than to influence tho election, is not
only a serious oiwtnelo to peaco, but is
precedent under which tho liberties of
tho peonle could bo overthrown. And
the lenilors of the party, with tho sanc
tion of tho administration, aro now
diligently engaged in rekindling tho
passions and hates of the Into war for
no other purpose than to promote their
chances lor a now Icaso of power.
Means more unworthy or moro de
grading to tlio country could not be
devised. Tho peaco of tho country and
its material welfare aro thus being sac
rificed for purtisun success. Slavery
is gono, and gono forever, and the
amendments to the Constitution that
place all our people on the same level
without relurenco to race or color aro
accepted and sustained by every State
in tho Union, and yet these agitators
keep up a war ol crimination. The
South is thereby deprived of peace and
capital anj population, and in tho
North wo aro mndo to suffer in our
material interests bocauso of tbo in.
ability of tho South to purchaso our
products.
IS THIS what we were promised ?
Now, my fellow-citizens, you who
voted to bring this administration into
existence, what do you say to this pic
ture? Is this what you woro promis
ed? Is this tho honesty, economy and
peaco you anticipated? I am sure you
did not intend to bring this suffering
and shamo upon the country; but
theso ovils havo conic, and you havo
been deceived and betrayed. Your
lcadorsand representatives have prom
ised ono thing and done another. They
premised you brend and havo given
you stones, nnd you have been for tbo
lime uoing nerell ot tho right ol self-
government, your will has been disre
garded, and now you are required to
sustain thoso who liavo botrayod you.
11 you uo this t-ou abandon sell gov
ernment, lou consent that your un-:
faithful representatives shall govern!
you and not you them. You reverse
the theory of our government, and
render the wholo system delusivo and beitife furnished. One ovenwer actual
fraudulent. Besides, as matter of i t,,i ,i, :,:,., ,.i..
, . ,
conscienco, you cannot do this. If you
.. ........ f
voto to givo theso unluilhlul leaders
another lease of power you thereby
necessarily indorse all thoy havo done
In tho past. Good faith botween the
elector and the representative is the
vory essenco ol our Republican system.
Infidelity in a representative ought to
made a criminal offense. Governor
Tilden has promised many thingsabout
administrative reform and purity in
public placo and about tho payment
of tho rebel debt nnd claims should ho
bo elected, and if ho fuils to carry them
out ho will merit tho contempt and ex
ecration of every honest man in the
country.
HATES IDENTIFIED WITH ORANTISH.
Do not, I pray you, embrace tho de
lusion that when 'you voto lor Hayes
you mako a now departure. Hayes
and tbo administration are ono and
the samo. The Convention that nom
inated Hayes indorsed Grant's admin
istration, with all Its corruptions nnd
bad faith, in the most unqualified
terms. It prosente.il llnycs as the can
didate nnd Grant's administration as
the model for him to follow should he
be clcclod. Reliancoon Hayes to break
the bands that now bind him to the
policy nnd practices of Grant would
bo a vain delusion the word of prom.
iso to tho car to bo broken to tho hope.
General Jackson in his very best dnys
might havo boen equal to such a task,
but for a man of ordinary will, liko
llnycs, the attempt would bo useless.
Grunt and his special friends nomina
ted llnycs, and they will inovitably
control him should he bo elected, it
is the plain duty of the rank nnd file
of tho Republicans in this crisis to riso
np and rebuke their leaders who have
betraved thom. Tho mass of tho Dem
ocratic party about forty years ago
did this. A certain Mr. Swortwont
was Collector at Now York and was
reported as a defaulter, and the whole
country was shocked at this single
caso ol infidelity and the masses ol the
Democratic party toted against their
own leaders to rebuke them for tlio
disgrace brought upon the country.
You have countless reasons to follow
this example, llesido but little of tho
glory of the original Republican party
now attaches to tho present Jenders.
The most of tho men entitled to that
glory, Lincoln, Seward, Cbaso and
Sumner, bavo gone "to that bourne
from whence no travolor roturns," and
no one will be so reckless as to claim
that these great men, were they alivo,
would give their sanction lo tho policy
and practices of the present adminis
tration. Of the leading men, now alive,
who formerly shaped the policy of the
Republican party and labored to mako
it a useful aud an honorable party, by
far tho best and brightest of them are
now uniting with their fellow-citizens,
irrespective of past partisan Identity,
to arrost the destructive policy and
practices of thoso now claiming to bo
Republican leaders, C'hsrles Francis
Adams, A. G. ( 'n rt in, l.vniun Trumbiil,
ex-Sciiulor I)ooliltlo, iioo. W, Julian
ami Gov. Palmer are quite equal in
personal character and statesmanship
to Morton, llhiine, Cumoron, t'onkling
and lirant, who now shape the nioas
urea and practices of tlio Republican
party.

um'I it is most fortunate that the day
of their accountability is so near at
hand. Let us ull hope thut it may be
tbo day of their relief from tho public
service.
At the closo of Kx Gov. lligler's
speech, tho meeting adjourned until
seven o'clock, ul which time Pie's
Opera House, tho Court room and the
Diamond wore filled with people. Col.
Hubert M. ( ibton, of Pittsburgh, one
of our electors, opened on tho enemy
in tho Opera House, Mr. Pealo, our
nominee for Senator in tlio Court
ilouso, and Father Test, Dr. Boyer,
Col. Barrett, ami others, spoke from
tlio platform in tho street. Three

It was truly a gala afternoon nnd
night for the Democrats of Clearfield.
JUDICIAL rOLlTlClASS.
"The rank and tlio" of tho Demo
cratic party hus always held that a
Jud (Oorf tho Bench had no right to
turn stump-speaker, whilo tho late
Whig and the modorn Radical leaders
huvo always disregarded this point of
political ctigurttc, and Whig and Radi
cal Judges took to tho slump as freely
as other politicians. Howovor, tho
Democratic idea on that point is far in
the ascendant at tho present time, and
it is a rare sight to see oven a Radical
Judgo on the stiimp, although they,
were the chief orators twenty years
ago. But as civilization and correct
"moral ideas" find their way into so
ciety, social barbarism surrenders, liko
"Captain Jack" or "Sitting Bull," to
progress and conservative ideas, prov
ing clearly that the Democratic views
on this point will finally prevail, and
tho Judgo who in a few years hence
dares to mount tbo stump will bo look
ed upon ns a political vagrant, and
called upon to resign his position, and
stop disgracing the Judicial robes.
Wo havo been lead to these remarks
by reading tho following local in the
Ilellefont.e Watchman of last week :
At tho Demneratio C)nt moellaft on Saturday
night lait, during tho abionoo of goatloiBoa ot

We hope his Honor, Judgo Orvis,
will giro us hisriews at length at no
distant day upon this important point
ol Judicial etiquette, to that we may
lay it beloro tho public. Tho Demo
cratic theory on this point is too or
thodox to koop it concoalcd from the
public.

More Outlawry. President Grant
sent a company of United States sol
diers to Petersburg, Virginia, on last
Saturday, to assist tho scallawags and
carpet-baggers in electing a Radical
Congressman In that District Tho
President had no moro legal o: moral
right to tako that step, than wo havo
to steal our neighbor's horse, or to
fence in a portion of his farm, More,
bo is nnclcr oath not to do what he bas
dono, whilo private citizens havo noth
ing of tho kind to restrain them. It
is truly amnzing to seo the head of tho
government making such strides to
ward despotism. The protest of the
Governor of Virginia, and thut of tho
Mayor of Petersburg, howovor, shows
that thoro are still somo officers who
have somo respect fur the Constitution
and their oath of office. It is well
enough that Grant's lime is nearly out,
because his policy ol outrago, wrong
and fraud, if continuod for another
year, would certainly precipitate a rev
olution.

The foregoing statement will bo in
teresting reading matter just about
this time, and will be found handy in
making comparisons.
The Countt T REAsuHKnsnip. An
effort was made in several counties
last January on the part of the County
Treasurers then in office to hold on
for another term. In Allegheny
county tho lower Court decided that
tho old Treasurer could hold over, but
the caso was appealed, which has been
pending' some time in the Supreme
Court, was ducided lust week by re
versing tho decision ot the Court be
low, and ousting Mr. Kilgoro, and
awarding the office to Mr. Murray,
tho contestant. Chief Justieo Agnew
delivered the opinion. As this was re
garded a peculiarly strong case by
those holding the opinion that County
Treasurers elected beloro tho adoption
of tbo now Constitution, and whose
terms had not expired, were entitled to
bold ovor. for another term, we pre
sume all elected and sworn into office
in pursuance of the terms of that in
strument, will no bo permitted to
continue in office until the expiration
of their wpoetivo terms without fur
ther co'.iiest.
Unexpected Mssetino. The Bloom
field Timet relates t'vo following Inter
esting little event : "On Friday night
two old gontlemen, apparently stran
gers, camo up in tho stage from New
port, both baring just returned from
Philadelphia, and both being named
Smith. At this placo one inquitl of
tho driver at what time they wou'd
reach Blaiti, and that remark mado the
other old gentleman ask if that was
bis destination, as ho was going to the
samo place. A few more questions
caused one to exclaim : "VVhy.Georgc,
you aro my brother I" and such proved
to bo the fuut. One live in this coun
ty and the othor in Indiana, lie was
on his way back from Philadelphia,
and stoppod to visit his native place
after an absence of nineteen ycars,and
thus unexpectedly the brothers met.
It was an incident tliat greatly inter
ested tho othor passengers."
A Substantial Endoekement. We
have but little laith in anything that
the editor of tho Philadelphia Prate
says, so far as to assist a Democratic
candidate; but tho following which
wo clip from that journal, relating to
our nominee for Senator, is so well
done that we oannot help laying it be
fore our readers. The editor in ques
tion says :
"It alwayi given ul a ploarara to (peak kindly
of a political oppononi, aid ta ottond a helping
hand when b la worthy af tbo topport of hia
people. Tba Democratic canduUta for Statu
rlcoator In tbo Look fieVea 'diitrict, of thla fltato,
8. K Paalo, Krq ta an old and valued pereonaj
friend and wo are right glad tbat ha la rannlog
with a certainty of being elected. Ho H tbo
leading membor of tha Clinton eounty bar of
marked ability, inelceptioBabla character, and
will be lupported by many hepublioana."
We call tbat a pretty strong endorse
ment from the enemy's side.
About Ibanksoivisq. The Phila
delphia Times in alluding to this Pari-
tan relic savs : Presicent Grant and
Governor Uartranft approach the
thanksgiving queslfor from different
points of viow, but arive at the same
conclusion. Tho rrciidont, forgetting
for a lime tho great Insurrection in
South Carolina, wtieh assumed such
frightful proportion! in bis mind a few
months ago, sees raught but peace and
plenty. The Govornor, on the other
hand, is in some doubt wbothcr we
have any real cauie for thanksgiving,
after all. His pnaniblo would more
suitably prefaeo .he designation of a
day torfasting,huniliation and prayer.
Cheer up, Govormr; all is not lost.'
Just as You ?leahe. Radical.
"Thore wero five thousand porsons
present at our aecting on Friday
night."
Domocrat. "Wil, if that's so, wo
had at least eight thousand on Tues
day night; beoausewe filled the Opera
Ilouso, Court Houe and the Diamond,
whilo you'ns did not bavo men and
women enough to 111 tho two houses.
Wo had at least oio lhlrd moro voters
on the ground thai you had."
Rad. "No; yot hadn't."
Dcm. "Well, jist wait until aftor
the votes aro tallid ; that will tell who
bad the biggest enwd."
Rod. "That's o." .
The Reverse Thit Want. Tbo
Radical stumpers n this county always
turn up their nsos, when tho word
"Roform" escape from their lips.
Perhaps ths limocratio speakers
would be in a aiinlar fix if Kx-Gov.
Bigler, Senator W.llaee,Judge Barrett,
oi any other Cleaflcld county Demo
crat, who bas bon engaged in public
affairs in the past bad either of them
gotten away wilt 120,000 belonging

most good in Rdical Senators and

TESTIMONIAL TOJUPGK Jlc
CADLKS.i. A largo nnd gracefully designed
solid silver vuso has just been executed
by Messrs. Tiffany & Co., and is now
on exhibition in their show rooms un
Union Square. Tho style of the vase
is to a great extent claanical, and is
iiotieeable lor tho chaste elegance ol
its finish. It is about thirty-six inches
high, and the swell ol. 'he bowl has a

of Justice, blihdlolded and surrounded
by sprays ot tho palm, At the bane
there is an open book, inscribed with

RESUMPTION W1TIIO UTPJIEF-
A RATI ON.
Wluit would be thought ol a farmer
who should undertake to raise and de
liver to another a certain quantity of
produce, and then iiegloct to sow the
seed from which it was to spring T Or
a man who would promise to be in a
certain place, many miles away, upon
a stilted day and never Start on his
journey ? Such is precisely tbo posi
tion of thoso who' fixed a day for the
resumption of specio payments, with
out making any preparations lor keep
ing their engagements. It was cor-
tainly better that this clauso Bhould
bo repeated than tbat, when the stipu
lated day arrived, our credit should run
tho risk of ininuiftiicnt. . As Governor
Tilden says, in his letter of acceptance :
"Such preparations are everything.
Without tbem, a lcg!ltivo command
fixing a day, an official promise fixing
a day, are shams. Tbey are worse
they are a snare and a delusion to all
who trust them. Tbey destroy all con
fidence among thoughtful mon whose
judgment will at last sway public
opinion. An attempt to act on such a
command or sueb a promise, without a
preparation, would end in a new sus
pension. It would be a fresh calamity,
pnlific of confusion, distrust and dis
tress." -
Disfranchised. Tho Pittsburg
IVotwesays the changes made in the
pulpits of tho Methodist ministry, this
year are peculiarly unfortunate for
thoso of tbo divines who desire to vote.
The law atutes tbat to bo a volor one
must reside in his district at loast sixty
days, and as tho Pittsburgh and the
Erio M. E. Conferences mot.tho former
September 23d, and the latter October
4th, and ordered the changes for the
year, it is evident that a number of in
telligent gentlemen will not be permit
ted to cast bullots for their Presiden
tial preferences. It isestimatod that in
theso two Conferences then, will be
not less than one hundred temporarily
disfranchised. The number would have
been nearly doublo that, but for the
fact that niany, whilo tbey preached
in their new charges, did not give up
their old residences.
Sind Bi-tleb Back. The hero of
Dutch Gap himself says that it is ab
solutely nocossnry ho should fill
Blaine's place in the House. It would
bo very pleasant on some accounts to
seo the peculiar-eyed Bon back In the
House. With one optio gazing on the
Speakor, and tho otbor beaming tondor-
ly on tho spittoon, and with an exquis
ite mouth pouring forth high moral
ideas couched in elegant though some
what halting periods, is a spectacle
both impressive and instructive. For
spectacular and sympathetic purposes
wo should like lo see Ben back in Con
gress. Yes, let us have Ben Butler
back in Congress; he will about fit
the shoes brother Blaine kicked off in
such a hurry. No fitter man could fill
Blaine's shoes than the hero of Dutch
Gup and Fort Fishor.

ed time. M. Thomas & Sons, of Phil
adelphia, are tho auctioneers. Tho sale

nance at its session on Monday.
The registry of Now York was com
pleted on Saturday, and her million
population registers but 183,086 voters,
while Philadelphia, with one-fourth
less population, rogistors 186,000. In
Mow York no man can vote unless
registered, while registration in Phila
delphia is not an indispensablo qualifi
cation. 0,ucry: tf Tammany is about
to perpetrate a stupendous fraud for
Tilden in Now York on 183,000 regis
tered rotors ont of a million, what do
the Pilgrims of Philadelphia mean to
do with a registration of 186,000 out
ol three-quarters nf a million T
No Go. Would-be Assemblyman
Zoiglor, of Philipburg,sient a portion
of Sabbath with us trying to rally the
Harts to go over to Pbilipsburg on
Monday night and help to elect him to
the Legislature. Ilia effort resulted in
nothing, except a violation of the Sun
day law. MolborCentrrill send two
members to Hanisburg next winter,
but their names will not be Zolgler.
A Live Darket. An old darkey, a
listener to Hampton's speech at Colle
ton, South Carolina, last Saturday, in
bis enthusiasm exclaimed i "My God,
dat speech gone to my heart 1 ooelda't
vote for 'em if the Chamberlain tioope
shoot me down at thn ballot-box."

FRIQBTFUL RAILROAD ACCI
DENT. New York, Oct, 31. A special dis
patch fromScranton give the followins
particulars of a frightful disaster last
tiiirlil to a Centennial train on tbo Del
aware, Lackawana and Western Kail-
road : At Lehigh Summit the passen
ger train stopped to take water. On
starting ono engine bocaruo detached ;
alter neing again couplod to tho second
engine another start was made which
resulted in breaking off tho last two
cars, l he two engines and fifteen cars
wont back for the stray cars, but in
coming up missed the coupling. In
backing up for the purposo of again
attempting to couple, and when at
about forty yards from tbo two de
tached cars, the long heavily laden
coal train of ninctv-thrce cars, drawn
by throe engines, tho third one being
in tnri cent-ro oi ma train, came irlv.
ing np at a speed of about fifteen
miles an hour ran into the two detach
ed cars shot those forward into the
rear ol the flflonn cars, the balance of
the train. The two dotachod cars,
standing between the two trains wero
strange to say, but littlo damaged, and
the rear cars of the fifteen into which
thoy were immcdiatoly plunged also
su Herod little. But the filth and sixth
cars from the rear were literally knock
ed into kindling wood. The remainder
of the passongor train in front Was not
much injured, and even the engine of
the coal train which eausod the damage
was very little broken M p. The pas
sengers were wedged in tbo wreck in
such a way that the Boats had to be
broken in ordor to roecne many of the
sufferers. Somo of tho passengers bad
stopped off the train to wait for the
watorlng of the enginos, and so fortu
nately escaped. Those and the unin
jured on the train Itself immediately
set to ine worx oi rescue.
Nine dead and twenty-three gashed
and bruised bodies were takon from
the wreck. The rear car of the tas.
scnger train bad the usual red light
signal, but the train was very crowded,
and the crowd on the platform hid the
signal from the engiooer of the front
englno of the coal train, so the latter
claims tha curve hid the passongor
train until coal train was Immediately
uimn it, and the stoop grade required
all the steam which could be carried.
Tbo next President will be inducted
into office on Monday, March 6, 1877.
There is no special law bearing on the
subject, but the proceedings follow tbo
general rule that for legal purposes
Sabbath day Is a diet nor, and Satur
day, March 3d, only ends when Moo
day, March Ath, btgias.
The Boston PoM suryreaU that If
some oi tha modiaraa get a Message
from Horace Greeley to tha New York

ment, reading, "Tor Ha, job villain,

A lroclamation.
Notwithstanding the present de
pression of business, and the accom
panying distress, tho peoplo ol this
country continue to enjoy manifold
blessings, and the more especially in
tho preservation of their institutions
and liberties, through tho vicissitudes
of a century, and in the steadfastness
of a Christian faith that tho light of
God's favor is only temporarily dim
cd by tbo clouds that darken the coun
try. Now, therefore, I, John F. Uartranft,
Governor of Pennsylvania, do recom
mend that the good people of this
Commonwealth, luying aside all secu
lar occupations, assemble togethor on
tho thirtieth day of Novomber, 1876,
being the same day set apart by tho
President ol the United States, to give
thanks to Almighty God for bis con
tinued kindness, and to merit by pray
ers and thankfulness tho fulfillment of
all reasonable hopes, and tho gralifica
tion of all just desires. . , .
Given under my band and tbo great

built at Kane, by Mrs. Thomas, aunt
of Gon. Kano. It is estimated to cost
$13,000, but will probably reach twico
that sura beforo it is finished. It is in
(he Gothic style of architecture. 'Tha
body of tho church is built of pink
santlstone, and the cornice and widows
of whilo sandstone. When finished
it will be an ornament of which the
citizens of Kane may be justly proud
as well as a lasting monument ol the
noblo generosity of tho builder,"

Third The Democrats offer a num.
utiuos. confidence Ever .lince 1S00 I
have observed Mr. Tilden 's course with
t he greatest pleasure. II is activity fur
tho publio interest has been greater
than that of any other man in the
country. He has thoroughly tiemuu
Htrated this in hia services for reform
in New York city and as Governor.
I havo not seen one single positive
argument why I should fotefor liayoa.
All the liepuplicans give are negative
urgumonU why Tilden should not bo
voted for, and thoso aro atipeuls lo my
fears. I am told that Tilden knows
much and means well, but that bit
party controls him. But he has brains
and well enough to lead bis party.
They say be is a politician. 8uppose
he is. A politician moans a Statesman,
nnd that's what we want. Porhaps he
is even a wire puller. I hope ho is. In
Washington he will need to fie. We
couldn't do a sillier thing than to send
a man there who doesn't understand
the game. It is the weak, good men
who have boon tho most harm to this
country. They have been used as
tools by corruptionists.
Again, they bavo brought against
Mr. Tilden a vast number of scandals.
I am inclined to think the gutter rako
has never ffono deeper in a campaign
than in tins. The whole effect has
been, on meat least, to fix more firmly
my intentions to voto for him.
Again, they say the Democratic
party is not to be trusted that il will
ruin the country. I cannot believe
this. If I did 1 should have to believe
that ono half of this land aro striving
to ruin it.
But especially they bring up South.,
ern issues, . Now, none nt those ram
piiign bugaboos have alarmed mo.
f hey say the South will luke claims
lor losses in the war. This may be.
All we can hope is that they will be
kepi, off with more success than during
the last ten years. Perhaps, too, they
may be asking subsidies, following the
examples of the North ; but I don't see
any reason why we shouldn't believe
the Democrats, who say thoy will have
no subsidy legislation, rather than the
Kopublifatis, who promise not to con
linuo il.
They say, too, that if Tilden is elect
ed tho public credit will be ruined.
Now, if I believed this. I would turn
all I own into cosh and emigrate. If
nusiness mon leared this they would
bo tuking like prudential measures.
But I turn to the money market and
find United States stocks are not fall
ing, that monoy is easy, I turn to
foreign exchanges, and find gold coni
ng into tne conn try, not sent away.
and there is the nronf that our nation
has credit ao high, so grand, that reck
less partisan assaults eannot effect it.
I cannot find words stromr enouirh to
condemn tho want of patriotism in
those who arc trying for party purpos
es to destroy their country's credit.
Again, they tell us the South will
rule. If they do as thoy did boforo
the war and send ablo and experienc
ed men to Congftss, then thoy will
rule and doservo to rule. If the North
wants its full influence it must be care
ful to act as wisely. But they say the
temper of the Southern people isn't
right ; they have the same secession
spirit I am not surprised if this is
true. It is the natural result of the
way they have been treated since the
war. They have had one condition
alter another imposed noon them, and
even now we are olten told that they
ought nover to have been allowed to
be citizens again. I believe that if tbo
federal authorities should , interfere
with ono of our northern communities,
as bas been done in the 8outb, there
would be bloodshed Within a week. I
don't wonder the temper of the South
erners is a littlo spoiled. I think mine
would be. ' '
Now it is all wrong lo bring these
matters before the nation to judge upon.
All history shows thore is no possible
exit from the present state of affairs
bat lo restore to tho South local self
government. IiCft to themselves thoy
win sottlo down to ordor and ponce.
Some seem to think tbat if Tilden is
elected the whites will go to massacre
ing tho blacks. This is abanrd. No
people can afford to quarrel with thoir
labor. ' Now, if we should give way to
those fears when is all this to cease T
In the present oircumstances the South
is sure tn remaio embittered forever.
This must stop sometime, and the
sooner tho bettor. Wo thought wo
fonght to presorve tho Union, but o.
these Republican party principles we
aro striving to exclude thoso states.
Just before Lincoln died bo said he
wanted to got Louisiana aa quickly as
possible into its practical relations with
the Union. ' And this M what I say
now ot the wholo South, we want to.
got theso States as quickly as possible,
into thoir practical relatione with the
Union. If this Union is to last. It will
never bo by hatred and force, but must
bo held togethor by concession and
kindness. : . i ,!-,'! j
