CLEARFIELD, PA., APRIL 21, 1S58.
Position op Lccompton is Congress. In
onr last paper we stated that the House had
" decided to adhere to its position, but that an
effort would be made to have a committee of
conference appointed. On Tuesday, the Sen
ate, by a vote of 30 to 24, insisted iqon hav
ing such a committee granted. This, alter
all their brow-beating, sounds strange on the
part of the majority in the Senate. While
they hoped that a majority of the House could
be bouzht or bullied into an indorsement of
the President's Kansas policy, they haughtily
repalled the idea of conciliation and confer
ence. When their bill came back from the
House amended, Mr. Green wished it rejected
without a word, which was accordingly done.
If the Senate really desired a conference, then
was the time to have asked for it. But, no
doubt, they thought to coerce the House into
measures. lu this they were mistaken, and
now this same Mr. Green makes the motion
to insist on a conference, which was carried,
after some debate as to whether the Senate
should ask for, or insist upon it. On Wednes
day the sul ject was brought up in the House
On Mr. Montgomery calling for the previous
question on his motion that the House insist
on its adherence to its amendment, the vote
stood yeas 108, nays 107, -. hereupon the Speak
it voted Xay, which made a tie, and declared
the motion lost. The House theu agreed to
grant the committee, by a vote of 108 to 108,
the Speaker giving the casting vote. Every
Republican, with six Americans from the slave
States, and all but four of the anti-Lccompton
Democrats, opposed the measure. The four
who voted with the Lecomptonites for a con
ference are Messrs. English of Indiana, Hall
and Pendleton of Ohio, and Owen Jones of
Pennsylvania. These men profess to have
voted for a conference for reasons of parlia
mentary courtesy, and not from any change of
opinion as to Lecompton. Pendleton and
Jones give solemn assurances that they will
not abr.te theif opposition to it, or surrender
an iota. Doubts are entertained about Eng
lish and Hall. The faithlul anti-Lecompton
Democrats still express full confidence in the
linal result. The probable result of the con
ference will be a disagreement.
The committee consist of Green, Hunter and
Seward, on the part ot the Senate, and of
English, Stephens and Howard on the part of
the House.
A final meeting of the committee was to
Lave been held on Mondav.
New JtniciAL District. Not long since
tho lower branch of our State Legislature
passed a bill to erect a new Judicial District
out of the counties of Clearfield, Elk, Forest
and JeSerson, to be called the 27th district.
A few days since this bill came up in the Sen
ate, when Mr. Cresswell, who is now in our
Senatorial district, moved that the same be
referred to a select committee, which was a
greed to, and that committee have reported a
bill for the new district, embracing in it, how
ever, a clause dissolving the Bradford district
and legislating Jndge Wilmot out of ol!;ce.
This will, doubtless, prove fatal to the passage
of tho bill, and Mr. Cresswell must have
known it, for we will not believe it till we see
it, that a majority of our State Senators will so
far disgrace themselves as to cut up Mr. Wil
inot's district as proposed in the bill an act
that would be ungenerous in a politician and
beneath the dignity of a gentleman. We are
at a loss to account for Mr. Cresswell's course,
when he is well aware that a large majority of
the people, as well as the members or the le
gal profession, in the proposed district are in
favor of its formation.
CoxsiSTEStr. A few years since, when the
Americans had a majority in our Legislature,
the pay of members was lixed at $500 for the
session. The Democratic papers made a tre
mendous outcry about robbing the State, &c.
The present Legislature is largely Democratic.
Yet we see both Houses have voted to add
$20O to the pay of members this session, and
to increase the compensation hereafter to $700
per annum. This is reform with a vengeance.
Whilst laboring men everywhere arc out of
employment, pinched for means to support
their wives and little ones, the whole country
suffering from a severe financial revulsion, our
Democratic Legislature coolly vote themselves
$200 extra pay, thus taking at one grab thou
sands of dollars of the bard earned money
which the people pay in taxes. And where is
the Democratic paper that utters a singlo
word against their action ?
The Bill authorizing the Sale of the State
Canals to the Sunbury & Erie Railroad Com
pany, passed the Senate with a few amend
ments, which have been concurred in by the
House, and all that Is now required to make it
a law is the signature of Gov. Packer, which
will not be withheld. As soon as we can get
copy of the bill as it finally passed, we will
give its provisions.
Wilmot's District! The persecutors of
Judge Wilmot have again been defeated in
their object, as the bill reported by the Select
Committee to annihilate Jndge Wilmot'a dis

Correspondence of tho "Baftsman'a Journal.'
PittsbcrG; P.., 16th April, 1S58.
Fbiexd Row : I arrived at the Smoky City
about three o'clock on Thursday morning. I
have since been looking around here to 8oe
and hear what I could that would be beneficial
to persous emigrating to the far west.
There are boats leaviug here almost daily
for the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, all of
which are loaded down with passengers, and
freight of various kinds, bound for Kansas,
Nebraska and Minnesota. Tickets for cabin
passage to Leavenworth City cost but 20,00;
to Nebraska City $23,00. The freight on pine
lumber is about $15,00 per 1000 ft. Freight
on all kinds of goods taken West is said to be
verv low.
I have never before seen any thing like the
rush of emigration that is now moving west
ward. I have conversed with numbers of em
igrants and found a very great proportion of
them to be mechanics ol" various kinds. They
generally look neat and intelligent, which is a
plain indication of the kind of material of
which onr new settlements will be composed.
We say, come on for ;yet there's room."
The fare for passengers on cars to St. Louis
is $19,-30. From there to Leavenworth City,
fcy cars and steamboat, ?10 or $11,00. To Ne
braska City about $16,00 from St. Louis.
When I "arriv" at Tittsburg, I learned that
Judge Saml. W. Black, of Nebraska, had left
tho Territory and was then and yet is on a
visit to Washington City. It is out of the
question for Judge B. to get home in time to
hold Court there at the time fixed by law,
Had I known of his absence from the Territo
ry, I should have remained longer in Clear
field. . . . Yours, D....
The Joint Committee of Conference appoin
ted by the two Houses to considcrtheirgrounds
of disagreement respecting the Admission ol
Kansas, and icport some practicable plan for
harmonizing them, met yesterday at W ashing
ton, but did not organize, o; ing to the absence
o: Mr. Stephens said to be caused by illness.
Another attempt will be made to-dav.
It is important that the Country should un
derstand the real, vital difference to be liar
monized. What the House demands is not
that this or that Constitution shall be re cog
nized by Congress, nor that it shall contain
this or that provision, nor that this or that
proposition shall vol be contained in it : but
it d et insist that it shall be the Constitution
ot Kansas, fairly recognized and adopted as
such by her People. i hether negroes shall
or shall not be slaves, or voters, or neither
slaves nor voters, the House remits entire!
to the decision of the People of Kansas part
of the Members requiring this on pnneipl
and part because they know that the decision
of the People of Kansas cannot fail to be
KiGiir. Whether the Lecompton, or the Lea
venworth, or some still unformed instrument,
is tho Constitution required by and satisfactory
to Kansas, this side leaves to be determined
by a fair and authentic vote of that People
themselves, in sliort, t ree boil and genuine
Squatter Sovereignty, finding their interests
at least for this occasion identical, have joined
teams to require that no Constitution shall be
impose I on Kansas which shall not hare first
b'.en ratified and sanctioned by her People.
That is the House position, and the wholo of it
Ihe Senate has thus far insisted that Kan
sas should come into the Union under the Le
compton Constitution, and none but that. It
has based its action on the technical regularity
and legality of that instrument its conformi
ty to precedents on the legal presumption
that it was the true Constitution of Kansas,
though never submitted to nor ratified by her
People, but, on the contrary, most emphati
cally voted down by them at the only election
in which they were permitted to vote against
it. The arguments on this side are all the
special pleadings of lawyers, accustomed to
ingenious endeavors to prove black white, or
at least a very light gray, and intended to
show that Kansas must swallow the Lecomp
ton instrument even if she proceed to throw
it up the next minute which some of them
believe she may, others that she may not do.
There are some who say that Mr. English
has got up thisConferencc on purpose to betray
the House and the principle of Popular Sov
ereignty into the hands of that principle's
implacable adversaries. We say nothing like
this, for we know nothing of Mr. E's feelings
or purposes. We do know, however, that,
with Messrs. Seward and Howard on the Com
mittee, the cause of Free Kansas cannot be
betrayed except under circumstances and with
explanations that shall make the whole truth
plain to the great body of the American Peo
ple. A". 1. Tribune of .Ipril 17.
Hon. John- Covode. This gentleman has
recently made a speech in Congress on the
Kansas question, which we have no hesitation
in declaring to bo one of the clearest and
most practical we have read upon the subject.
One feature of the speech is thus referred to
by the Philadelphia AbrA .Imerican :
""In a comprehensive view of the subject,
while illustrating tho mistaken policy which
actuated the South, Mr. Covode introduced a
point not mooted before, that has a vast deal
of force in its direct application. He said the
South, by combination with northern allies,
might be able, through its free trade system,
to crush down the manufacturing interest, anil
to prostrate partially the industrial prosperity
of tho existing free States ; but the re-action
.vonld be to their permanent injury, and final
ly, to the complete loss of political power.
For if manufactories were closed, and the
busj' hum of labor silenced in the mills, fur
naces and mines, tho immediate etlcct would
be to swell the emigration westward, and peo
ple the unoccupied Territories, and to build
up new States, which in their turn, would
control the government, and perhaps return
tho poisoned chalice to the lips of those h ho
had employed it for their own interested pur
poses. There is no escape from this conclu
sion, and the serious consideration of southern
statesmen who, in their rash zeal to preseive
that equilibrium which was the fantasy that
atllicted Mr. Calhoun's brain like a nightmare,
in his latter days, have not considered they
were precipitating the very doom against
which all their schemes and exertions have
been and are still aimed."
The Bamishment of Caliioix. Tho Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
writes that John Calhoun, the Dictator of Kan
sas under the Lccompton Constitution, who is
also in the employ of the General Government
as surveyor-general of Kansas and Nebraska,
and who for reasons palpable even to the most
unthinking men does not enjoy an undue share
of popularity in Kansas, wishes to return to
the field or his Federal duties, but is unwilling
to-trust himself to the tender mercies of an
outraged people. Therefore,the Commissioner
of the General Land Office announces by the
order ot tho President," "that the office of
the surveyor-general of Kansas and Nebraska
will be removed from Lecompton, in Kansas,
to Nebraska city, in Nebraska Territory, at
oi early a period praclicablc." ' '

The Hoop Trade. Douglas & Sherwood,
tho hoop skirt manufacturers, turn out 400lt
skirts every day, and constantly employ five
hundred hands, besides 180 sewing machines ;
so says tho Journal of Commerce. There is
used each week not less than one ton of steel,
to aid the ladies in spreading themselves.
Several floors in a large building are exclusive
ly occupied to their full extent with persons
engaged in cutting cloth, tape, bone and steel,
and manufacturing small metallie pieces used
in constructing the skirt. for all of which
process cunningly devised machinery is em
ployed by those who are engaged in adjusting
these parts to each other, and bringing order
out of apparent confusion. Hoop-skirt mak
ing is a science, and one on which patient
study has been bestowed, till by successive
improvements, an article of dress has been
produced which is thought to be favorable to
health, while it conduces to comfort and beau
ty. To illustrate the difficulty experienced
in obtaining the exact desideratum, rattan,
cord, whalebone and brass have been succes
sively employed and rejected, in whole or in
part, as too brittle, too rigid, too flexible, ect.,
and of course, much valuable machinery had
to be thrown aside as useless, with each change
'i.troduced. Now, a kind of English steel is
substituted, after being subjected to a high
heat, and suddenly being plunged into cold
oil and again transferred to a bath of melted
lead to give it the proper temper and elastici
ty. Such quantities of the material thus pre
pared are used, that the railway train which
lot wards the weekly instalment from Connect
icut to the factory in New York, U yclept the
"hoop train," and of course, is regarded with
more than ordinary consideration. Ihe fac
tory, with its industrious population of ff0
youDg women, is an interesting place to visit.
The Liquor Bill. The following arc the
main features of the Liquor Bill, as it has pas
sed both Houses of our State Legislature :
Licenses to be grauted in Philadelphia by
the Board of Appraisers, in Allegheny county
bv the Associate Judges and Treasurer, and
in other counties bv the Judges of the Courts,
with a qualified discretionary power over the
applications.
The minimum price of licenses with sales of
over $1000 to be $23, and under $K00 to be
$1-3. In Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the
minimum to be $-3i). Hotels and taverns to be
classified and rated according to the sales.
On sales of $10,000, the license to be $400;
on sales of $8:00, the license to be $230; on
sale of $0000, the license to be $130, and on
sales of $2000, the license to be $50.
Retail brewers to be rated as eating houses.
Appraisers to be appointed to examine and de
tect adulterated and drugged liquors, and the
sale of such liquors prohibited and punished.
Licenses will be granted to bouses without
limit the Courts being required to grant
them where the parties applying are of good
moral charaeterand give the required security
Helping the Enemy. A correspondent of
the Cincinnati Inquirer, writing from Camp
Scott, Utah, says, on examining the wagons
of tho contractors for freight for the army,
there were found one thousand pounds, of
powder and other merchandise intended for
the Mormons, and directed to an agent of the
Mormon church. The powder was carted
across the plains at the expense of the United
States government for its enemies, and in the
trains which were employed to carry provi
sions to the army which the government has
sent out to put down the Mormon rebellion.
This is taking advantage of government li
berality with a vengeance.
A Romance or Twelve Lines. Laura Lee
is a daughter of a wealthy farmer, near De
troit, for whom Thomas Barnes was plow boy.
Thomas, the rogue, stole Laura's heart, and
then herself. They ran away, and by legal
process got spliced. Old Lee offered $5t0 for
the recovery of Ids daughter. The young
couple concluded to go back and take the
money and the curses. When they arrived
home, they were agreeably astonished to find
themselves heartily forgiven by the old man,
and awarded a homestead and a farm of sixty
acres. There was common sense all around.
Fatal Mistake. The Hon. Samuel Adams,
a member of the Massachusetts State Senate,
bad aconite prescribed as an external applica
tion for rheumatism, a few days ago. He
took three spoonsfull internally, which killed
him in a few hours, although antidotes were
promptly and freely given him.
The run of shad in the Delaware river has
been greater during the past week than for
many years past. It was so great on Monday
and Tuesday, says tho Trenton Ripublican,
that some of the seines broke down under the
immense quantities of fish enclosed, and many
shad escaped through the rents.
It is a curious and affecting circumstance
that an infant grandson of Col. Benton, the
child of William Carey Jones, died in the
house of his grandfather, -within a few hours
of that grandfather's decease.
