TH REPUBLICAN. CLEARFIELD, PA. WKDNK90AY MOIlNiNO, APRIL. 1, III,.' TBE NEQRO STAMPEDE. Whatovor may be tho cause, theno- gro exodus from tbe South to the Wont is an important fact It began about the miildlo of Marfli, when sevorul hundred colored mtn wereAiridwt from a MisaisKiiipi steamboat at SL Louis. These pioneers were in a most doeti tuto condition and bad not the moans to pay tboir way to Kansas, a region which, tbey had been told, was an oartbly paradise. Tbe steamboat agents were accused ol encouraging these people in their flight in order to reap a harvest from transportation, but thoy denied the charge and offered to tako the emigrants back. The refugees, however, refused to go. They would only starve, thoy said, if they went, and if they escaped death in that form it would only bo tbat thoy might bo massacred. Tbey woro takon care of, but hardly were thoy under shelter when anothorand another load arrived. All told the samo story. They had been led to believe that in Kansas they would find a home without cost, and it had been impressed upon thorn that a general massacre of the negroes bad been ordered as soon as tbo crops should bo gatliorod. The negro field hands are unreasoning, but gregarious. Tbey accepted all the wild, chimerical stones as true, and hence it is that every day colored emigrants from Mississippi and Louisiana are landed in Su Louis. This exoJus of the blacks not only threatens hard linos for emigrants, but ior the planters, too. Already fears aro entertained that the cotton regions the nppcr country, as it is termed in Louisiana will bo depopulated. If such should prove the case", what would be the result T These negroes have been trained from infancy, ulmoat, for tho cotton fields. They aro as indis pensable to the cotton fields as Is tho cotton itself to the manufacturer. Thoy are peculiarly fitted for tbe labor, and cun keep steadily at their task wboro tho whito laboror would suc cumb under tho hot sun, or, at best, perform but a small portion of tho work done by bis African neighbor. It is possible that tho muchdespised Chinese labor might bead vantageously employ ed, this could only bo determined by experience. Certain It is, however, that the colored man's placo could not be immediately filled, and, perhaps, never completely. The planters are dospondont. Business depression, cou pled with the uncertainty attaching to the movements of their laborers, makes it bard for them to get their customary advances on their crops, and it is not at allsurpriHinglhat they should view this sudden exodus with alarm. Tho effects of a universal emigration from the uppor river counties would be imme diate, while a falling off in the crops and tbe crippling to a certain extent of ono of the staples of the South would be left for years. This is but one side of the ease ; on the other, what will the refugees be able to do? So sure are they that their land of promise is overflowing with milk and honey tbat thoy aro but ill-prepared to seek a new borne. As a class the ne groes of the far South are ignorant and totally incapable of taking caro of themselves. The movement is full of peril for them, and thoso who are in citing it, by working on tbe colored men's tears and by holding out prom ises which cannot bo fulfilled, aro guilty of a great crime. Choosing a time of depression tbey are coaxing the negroes fiom their own soil to a land thoy know nothing ol. None of the emigrants are prepared for it. Desti tute, without money sufflciont even to carry them to thoir journoy 's end, thoy are pouring into St. Louis, hoping to be forwarded and provided for through tbe instrumentality of others. It is a grave question what can be dono with those negroes when they shall have roacbed Kansas. True, there are broad acrosawaiting cultiva tion, but it is very doubtful whether they have tbe energy or capability of successful pioneers. They are children of the South. The low, tropical lands of tbe Mississippi are vastly different from tho broad prairies, exposed to tbo biting winds of the West. A gradual emigration,coiiducted in a cool,tbought ful mannor, would be of undoubted benefit Could Mie negroes be takon in small companies nnder the direction of a guiding hand and be provided with means lor establishing homes good re sults might follow J but when thoy join by the thousand in a wild, aimless stampede to country and climato with which tbey are totally a n acquaint ed, only to find that their vision of a land of milk and honey ia a mirago, disaster and distress are sure to follow, It ia too late to check tha movemont ; its impetus is too groat It would seem to be the part of wisdom to enlist the philanthropic of tbe whole land in an effort to make tbo road of thoomigrant as easy as possible In other days there were Kansas relief societies, which did much for the causo of free dom, which was the cause of the negro wbon Kansas was a territory. Some thing of the same sort is needed now. Tbe people of that Stale will no doubt do all in their power to make tho un mvited guost comfortablo, but the burden is too heavy to bo carried on their shoulders alone. The emigrants noed capital, but will arrive penniless. Is it not posaiblo from our abundance to send thorn money, clothing, furni ture and farming utensils, taking caro tbat the distribution be confided to trastworthy bands T There is no bet ter way of befriending the frccdmon, Lot our charilablo pooplo look into tho matter and mature some scheme of re lief. It may not be possible to save tho present generation of emigrants Irom hardships, but It is quite possible to enable them to plant the vine and flg tree nnder which their posterity may dwell In peace and prosperity.

TWnrTnlli'JmoJ in fb'htinir the re peal of I he law which allows the pres ence of 1'nitcd States troops at the polls, claim for the Kxerutivo a power which Is inconsistent with tho preser vation of free institutions. They say that by the Constitution tbe President is Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy and tbat Congress has no right to limit his power to order the troops whoro be chooses. Iiut this proves too much. K hi has all this power, this is not a Ropublio but a military Empire. The Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy might order his troops into the halls of Con gross to "preserve order" thore as well aa at tbe polls. It is the claim of des potism in all climos and in all ages that it "preserves order," "protects society." Evory coup d'etat or usurpa tion rests on just such a prntonse, and once lot the "Man on Horseback" get into power and ho always seeks to maintain himself by terrorizing the peoplo with atrocious cruelties under the name of maiiitaimuK ordor. : But the Constitution, in making tno l'resi dont Commander-in-Chief ol tho Army and Navy, at tbo same timo left in the power of Congress to abolish bolb Army and Navy altogether it the publio good required this to be done, Congress has tho power to reduce the army to ono thousand men or ton men or one man. It can do this either di rectly, by reducing the array, or Indi rectly by refusing to appropriate money to maintain it in existence. To call this "revolutionary" is simply uh surd. It is sot down in tho Constitu tion and is ono of its sato and health giving principles. It was intonded that Congress should have this control over the possibilities of arbitrary Exocutive stretch of powei. In Congress resides the great reserve of Federal power. The Houses of Congress represent the States and tbo people. It is tho sover eign body the direct cxponont ol the popular will. Tbo Republicans, wbon they were in power, enrsied this idoa to the extremest limit When the prosent situation was oxactly reversed and tho Republicans had tho control of Congress and Andy Johnson, a life-long Democrat, was President, then tbo Re publicans held that Johnson was in rebellion against tho Government Johnson said that Congress wns in re bellion against the Constitution. Con gress passed tho Tenurc-of-Offico act, limiting the power of the Exocutive oven in the selection of his own Cabi net. It enacted such legislation as pleased it as "riders" upon Appropria tion bills. They impeached Johnson for attempting to maintain bis Constitutional prerogative. Erarts, who is now Hayes' right-hand man, was Johnson's counsel in the impeach ment trial and yet, notwithstanding tho oxtromo to which tliat.Rcpublioan Con gress carried the theory tbat Congress was "the Government" and the Presi dent who resisted its will was in re bellion, tbo country sustained it by in. creased majorities so jealous are Americans of one-man power. So it will be again. Tbe Congress now in sossion represents tbe sovereign will of the people. - Tbey say that the dangerous powers placed in tbe hands of tho President by the Republican Congratses in order to perpetuate their party in power must be repealed. They say tbat they must be repealed just as they were passed, as appendages to the Appropriation bills. Tbe exhortations and threats and bluster and sophistries of tbe Radicals aro all alike unavailing. Congress represents the causo of tbe people against Execu tive centralization, which is perhaps not dangerous in tho bands of Hayes, but would bo dangerous in tho bands of Z. Chandler or Grant or Conkling or Blaine or any other master of the Republican machine. This is why tbe Democrats are united liko wall in demanding tbe repeal and why the Republicans aro solid In resisting it Upon this issue we desire to see the campaign of 1880 fought out Batti mote Gazette. CLIPPING A TIGER S CLA WS. The Philadelphia Times Bays: "Jim1 is tha name of one of the royal Bengal tigers in tbo Zoological Garden. Ho has been troubled for some timo with ingrowing claws, which havo become so painful that it was with groat difficulty the tiger promenaded up and down his cage. Adam J. Forepaugh, tho widely-known animal lamor, visit ed the Zoo not long ago and aflor scrutinising tbe tiger, told Supcrinton dent Brown that if "Jim's" claws were not soon out he would dio ol lockjaw, Mr. Brown named the day for the operation. Accordingly Mr. Forepaugh and his attendants were present in tbe morning, ready to clip tho tiger' claws. "Jim" is a poworful and active animal, and Mr. Forepaugb'a job was not an easy ono. Upon tho rail front ing tho cago five stout manilla ropes were arrangod, each provided with a safety-ring, and slip-knot. Tho tiger lay all the time with his hoad close to tbe bars. Mr. ,'oropaugh touched bim with tho end of a long pole. "Ji got up, looked around in surprise at the spectators, and hobbled over to a far corner. Mr. Forepaugh coaxed tbe animal back to the bars, and tried to throw a loop of a largo rope over his bead. "Jim" drew away, but Mr. Forepaugh auccoedod in running the loop over the animal's neck and bring. ing him close to the bars. Soon tbe tiger's feet were in the loops, tied lost. Mr. Forepaugh entered the cage and tied tbo unsecured paws. "Jim" was thrown on his lido and brought to the front of the cage, and the rope around the neck was removed. A man was stationed near tbe hoad with a stout stick of oak, which ho put in tho tiger's mouth evory timo he raisod himsolf and triod to bito his fastenings. Then the cutting oporation began. Mr. Forepaugb'a implements were a pair of wire nippers with a fine edge. He aeir.ed the paw of the rear right foot, tbo worst of the four. Pressing out each claw, he cut the ends off. After one claw had boon cut Mr. Forepaugh took a penknife and drow from the wound another claw, which had grown in and been shod. Tho claws on the other bind paw were next cut in the same manner. Burnt alum was now rubbed into the wounds and balsam of fir poured In. While operating on tbe fore feet Mr. Forepaugh was lorced to place bis band within reach of the tiger's tewtb. Hera tha Dun with the stick was given soma work. "Ji started up and the stick was shoved into bis mouth. When alt was over ' . i nn , l.n .n. l,n 1 1 ,.a- sprang to bis feet. free. His relief soemed immediate, and he began to lick bis paws, ono aflor another. Tbe clipping took twenty minutes. All the while tbe tiger roared bis loudest Mr. roropaugh said tbsre was no doubt tho claws will grow in again and will have to bo clipped next time be fore tbey have grown ao much. 'Jim" is Ibe tiger that atcut tbe opening of the Centennial killed bis mate. He seized her tail and held on tight. She tried to freo herself and put ber bind legs against the bars and pulled with all her strength. Ilor leg slipped, and "Jim" relinquished his hold on tbe tuil and caught ber leg, which he crunchod between bis teeth. The mate soon died. THE SINGLE ISSUE. It would be well for tbe Democratic Congress now in session to keep tbe groat Constitutional question, to aottlo which tbey are assembled, pure and simplo, unmixed with baser mat ter. It should not be lost sight of, nor bo clouded by oratory nor voxed by side issues. The single question to be disposed of is this: "Is a danger ous, despotic powor to be maintained in the hands of the Exocutive after both branches of Congress, the direct expression of the popular will, declare that it must no longer remain there?" Upon this point tho Democracy, how ever thoy may differ among thorn selves upon other points, are absolutely ono. The moral effect of this magnifi cent unanimity is very great. A per fect faith and sympathy, a united pnr poso, the enthusiasm of a grand idea are more valuable even than party dis cipline and ingenious party tactics. It firos tbo hearts of tho people. It gives thorn something to look to something to lay hold to a rock, steadfast amid tbo welter of nncertuinty. It makes tbe hearts of tbo people strong and light to foel that they are to fight on tho issuo of tho Republic versut One-man-power. If Hayes and tbe Repub lican Committee have tbo right to send troops to the polls, to send armed squads of Deputy Marshals to tho polls, to control the registrations, the ballot boxes and the counling-in with Federal Supervisors, whoso mere word is more potent than the laws of tbe States, then elections become mere forms und shams. , They wore worso than forms and shams in Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida during the last Presidential contest. Thoy were open, palpable, shameless frauds backed up by force. They will be so again in 1880 if the Democrats in Con gress waver. Tbe effect of this is to a minority of self-seeking, ambitious, unscrupulous men a perpetuity of pow er to the great dangor of tbo Republic, of Constitutional and personal liberty. Tbe peoplo now say the laws by which those wrongs can be wrought must bo repealed, and tbey must be repealed right now. This, as we said, Is a grand idea and one that has given new life, purpoeo and energy to the Democracy. It ought to be obscured or conlusod, but kopt in naked grandour before tho people. It, therefore, seems tho plain business of the present session to pass with as little delay as possible bills re pealing the objectionable laws, and send tbem to Mr. Hayes for bis signature. It is asserted by those who claim to know that Hayes will veto them. Then tho Appropriation bills should bo passod with the repealing sections put on again as riders and then tho day of adjournment fixed and no other legislation be altemplod. If Mr. Hayes refuses to sign tbo Appropria tion bills as passed by tho House and Senate npon his head will rest tbe re sponsibility of opposing tbo will of tbe peoplo and blocking the wheels of tho government Let him, however, dare to touch a cent of money that has not boon appropriated by Congress to its specific purpose and bo will become liable to impeachment. If Hayes ro fuses to sign the bills ho will place himself in tho wrong and put' bis Fraudocroey in greater jeopardy than his flatterers suppose. This, however, if it should all happen would make the victory of the Democrats in 1880 a certainty. It would be the best luck which the Democrats could have for the issue to bo tbe peoplo against tbo One-man-power and tho man power R. B. Hayes, who owes bis sjat to tho frauds perpetrated by the system which bis veto would sock to porpotu ate. Baltimore Gaiettt. A Good Dose. This is tbo way tho editor of the Danville - Intelligencer taunts bis heart-broken Radical neigh bor : "Wo admit tbat Radical prece dents are not always the proper things to follow; but of all men doctors should not revolt at or rojoct their own nos trums. Hence, when wo referrod the American to the opinion of former chief olerk of the Honse ot Representatives, McPhcrson, and othor .Radical legal lights as to tbo right of the present Clerk to place Hull, Democrat on the onrollmont,wc but referred to the Radi cal panacea formerly adopted for all such political ailments. And tbo pres ent Democratic majority in tha House, in the very spirit of mischievous re venire, gave the minoiity a taste of thoir own medicine. Mr. MoPhorson had the good senso not to gag at tbe bitter dute, but our neighbor makes a ludicrously wry face and thinks that what is "sauce for the goose" is not "sauce for tho gander," and in doing so shows his want ol consistency and opens himsolf up to tho derisive laugh of Democrats." The young man who attempted to scare Bun Butler out of (100 the other day must have been a charming green. horn. Sisyphus had a nice easy job compared with tho labors of the man who undertakes to separate Benjamin from bit money by terrifying him. Jefferson Davis says that he haa no hoofs nor horns and that bo is very much like tho poople of the North in appearance and yet ha no mora re sembles Wendell Phillips than the man in the moon roeomblea Susan B, Anthony. Tbo Secretary of the Treasury issuod his 93d call fur 6 20 bonds of 1865, consols ol 1867, oa Satardity last, the call being lor 110,000,000. ' COMRIXED RASCALITY. Just why tbe 773. Radical Marshals vre iiueteoft.Y IC cufaudc. tut ill I liiluilelpbia, the Chronicle ol that city elaborates in this way : Herein Philadelphia ia a Republi can judiciary ; a Republican mayor; a Republican police of twelve hundred men; a hot of Republican officials wielding all the power of tho munici pality ; thousands of Republican con tractors, dependents and expectants to fight tbo battles of the party ; a large majority of Republican aasussors to rcgislor the votes ; a Republican office to facilitate the qualification of Re publican electors, and four -fifths of the election boards to accept or reject doubtful Voters and to rompulo and certify tbe returns, while the minority party is powerloss, save as fraud cau escape tho vigilance of tbo multitude of Republican safeguards in a few lo calities. To summon deputy marshals in this city for tbe protection of tbe majority parly, oven if dono with tho utmost integrity, would have been an unpardonable abnse of publio trust; but to prostitute the authority of tho marshal by tho selection of nearly eight hundred deputies, most of tbem mere partisan dependents, and very many of tbem so disreputa ble that they would not be allowed within sight of a shopman's till, was a violation of tho plain letter and spirit of tbe law and a reproach to Philadel phia, tbat should not only demand tbo repeal or modification of the statute, but that he should dismiss Marshal Kerns from his office in tho disgrace ho has deliberately invitod upon him self. "If Marshal Kerns bad been content to abuse his power to the extent of selecting reasonably reputable citizens Uo act as window-men, distribute party ickels and bring out party voters at the cost of tbe government, it might havo been regarded as a waste of public money that could be pardon ed on the ground of political necessity ; but when be called tho chief from bis den, the rounder from his Blums, the convict from his haunt of shame, and the ballot-stuffer from his low rum mill retreat to wear the badge of the na tional government nnd violato tho law n tbo name of tbe law, hn committed a crime against every decent citizen of Philadelphia, whether Republican or Democrat, and made the law that is prosumed to protect honosty in elec tions tho instrument of its own degro dutiou. Aud when it ia considerod that thoso bummers and criminals are empowered to interfere with the most sacred rights ot citizens without pro cess ol law, or any restraint beyond llioirown dishonest or brutal instincts, tbo outrago upon tbo pooplo of this city is ono that can scarcely be por trayed in adequate terms. It is vio lently reversing all rules of order and and public safety' by making the thief; and the bully masters of tbe liberties of reputable citizens, and conferring upon tbem tbo powor to pollute the ballot-box under the protection of the law itsell." OPINIONS OE GOV. GEARY. TbeRopublicau members of Congress from Pennsylvania aro said to bo greatly embarrassed by memory of tbe follow ing opinions expressed a few years ago by Govornor Geary, when Republican Governor of this State, about Federal troops at State polls. Ho said : "Tbe employment of tbe United States troops at elections without the consent of the local and State govern ments haB recently roceived considera ble attention and reprehension. It is regarded as an interference with the sovereign rights of the States, which was not contemplated by tho founders of tho Gonoral Government, and, if persisted in, must lead to results disas trous to pcaco and harmony. The practice is ono so sorious ip its charac tor and so injurious in its tendencies as to merit prompt consideration and de cisive action, not only by tho Gonoral Assembly but by Congress. One of tho complaints of tho colonists against the British King was tbe oppression growing out of the assumption of this power. Tbey said, 'He has kept among us in tunes of pcaco standing armies without theconsent of our legislatures ;' and, what is especially pertinent to the caso in point, 'Ho has affected to render tbo military independent of and super- ior to tbe civil powor." The alleged authority for the use of troops at our Stato elections is derived from the tenth section of an act of Congross approved May 31, 1870, ontitled 'An act to enforce the rights of citizens of tho United Statea to voto in the sev eral States of the Union, and lor other purposes,' which authorizes United Stales Marshals to call to thoir assist ance 'such portion of the land and naval lorcoe ot tbo United Slates, or of tho militia, as may be necessary to tho performance of tho duty with which they are Charged, and to insuro faithful observance of the fifleonth amendment to tho Constitution of tbe United Slates.' 'But it must be forced construction of this law that will justify tho pres ence of armed national forces at our placca of cleotion when no necessity exists tnereior, and where tboir pres ence is calculated to provoko collision, With a good President the exorcise of the powor referred to might have no injurious results, but in the bands of a bad man, governod by personal ambi tion, it might prove exceedingly calam itous. Unconsciously a good Presi dent might bo induced to employ it wrongfully; a bad one wouldbt almost corlain to uso it for his own advance ment Under any circumstances, in my opinion, it is unsalo and antagon istic to the principles that should gov ern our republican institutions. At the last October election United States troops were stationed in Philadelphia for tht avowod purpose of enforcing the election laws. This was dono with out the consent or even the knowlodgo of tha civil authorities of eilhor tht city or tht State and without any ex pressed deuiro on the part of the citi zens, and, as far aa can be ascertained, without existing necessity. From a conscientious conviction of its import, anro I have called your attention to this sobjoct A ncgloct to have done so might have been construed aa an endorsement of a measure that moots my unqualified disapproval. Tho civil authorities of Pennsylvania have al ways been and are still competent to protoct its citizens in the exerciso of tueir elective Irancbise, and tbe proper and only time for the United States military forces to intorvene w ill be w ben tha power of tha Commonwealth it exhausted and their aid ia lawfully re quired.
