CLEARFIELD, PA., MAY 12, 1858.
The Philadelphia Electios. On Tuesday
of last week the election for Mayor, Members
of Council, &c, took 'place in Philadelphia,
and resulted in an overwhelming triumph of
the People's Ticket, headed by Alexander
Henry, who was elected Mayor over Richard
Vaux, the Democratic candidate, and present
incumbent or the oflice, by a majority of over
4,000. In addition to the choice of a Mayor,
the opposition elected the City Solicitor, Con
troller, Receiver of Taxes, City Commissioner,
a largo majority of both branches of Council,
fifteen out of the twenty-four members of the
Board of Health, and a majority of the Guar
dians of the Poor. The victory for Mayor is
overwhelminz. the extent of which may be
- " s
more fully realized from a comparison of the
returns with those of the election held in May,
185C, when the Democratic majority for Vans
was font thousand two hundred, and of the Ho
vember election in the same year, when Biv
chanan's majority over Fremont was over thirty
thousand ; and still later, those of 1857, when
Packer's majority over Wilmot was over eigh
teen thousand, and over the vote of Wilmot
and Hazlehurat combined, upwards of four
thousand. The result of this election is a ter
rible warning to that party in the city who, re
pudiating all its former professions, went be
lore the people on the issue presented by the
National Administration- and embodied in
English's bill, which seeks to crush out free
dom in Kansas. They and their friends else
where, have in it a lesson of wisdom which
might have been learned long ere this a les
son which will doubtless prove practical in its
effects, as it teaches tho demoralized democ
racy of the North, that the people have their
eyes upon those who would swindle free labor
of its rights in the territories. The victory
is an important one it was nobly achieved,
and is a source of rejoicing among freemen,
whero ever it has become known.
The vote stood thus : Total vote foi Mayor

The New License Law. The new law rela
tive to tavern licenses, relieves the Courts
from all responsibility in regard to houses at j
which liquor shall be sold. Upon the certiS- j
cato of twelve men that the applicant is of
good repute for honesty and temperance, anil
possessed of a house containing the number
of rooms and beds demanded by the statute,
the Court is obliged to grant a license, unless
remonstrances are presented in the form of
affidavits, when tho power is given to investi
gate the matter. The new law provides that
"If any person shall neglect or refuse to take
out a license within fifteen days after the same
is granted, such neglect or refusal shall be
deemed a forfeiture of the license, and such
persons selling vinous, spirituous or malt li
quors, after the expiration of the fifteen days,
shall bo liable to prosecution and conviction
in the proper Court as fully and effectually as
if no such license had been granted to such
person or persons." The County Treasurer
has the power of licensing eating houses.
After the passage of the general License law,
another law was enacted, which requires Coun
ty Treasurers to refund to the several landlords
who have taken out licenses under the law of
1856, whatever amount of money they may
have paid above what the act of 1858 requires.
The Brownsrille Clipper, in noticing the
new liquor law, speaks of it in the following
terms : "The new license law of the last le
gislature is the most lame, bungling, befogged
enactment that ever cmenated from a legisla
tive body. In trying to concoct an intelligent
synopsis of this huge nondescript, we were
forcibly reminded of a prayer made by old
Dr. West, on; the occasion of some convention
of the clergy, several of whom had preceeded
him, in the exercises, and of the sermonising
talents of one of whom the Dr. had not tho
most exalted opinion, judging from the terms
in which he alluded to him in his prayer, which
was nearly as follows :
"O Lord ! we thank thee for the innumera
ble blessings and privileges thou hast vouch
safed to us. We thank thee for the clear,
forcible, impressive exposition which we have
heard this day from onr brother Johnson ;
we thank thee, also, Lord, for tho lucid,
eloquent and powerful discourse, to which we
have had the privilege of listening, from our
brother Smith; and as to our brother Jones,
we thank Thee, Lord, for-for-for-Wcll,
Lord, if Than can', make any thing of it, do
o,for if$ more than J can do."
Gentility is to be defined ia the next edi-
American dictionary "Eating
meat with a silver fork, neither being paid for."
A DemocraIic Picture. The editor of the
Chicago Times, a leading organ of the Nation
al Democracy at the West, who recently spent
A few days in Washington, gives the follow
ing picture of affairs in that city under the
present "Democratic" administration :
-We stayed in the great city five days and
in that brief period we saw enough to satisfy
us that personal and political depravity never
had such a harvest as they arc now reaping in
the Federal City. Do you wish to see a man
who in cold blood shot down his neighbor, his
countrvman without any other provocation
than to gratify party hatred and the brutal pro
pensities engendered by habits of drunken
ness ? Do tou wish to sec a gang of men of
every age, from twenty-five to fifty, all old in
the meaner habits of border life, and all mean
in the most shameless deeds of depravity ?
Do vou wish to see men who boast of cold
blooded murders, of thieving forays, of frau
dulent elections, of forged official papers, of
bloated faces, and frames worn down by ex
cesses common among men lost to self-respect
and common decency if you wish to see
these men, go to Washington and hunt up the
delegates to the Lccompton Constitutional
Convention and their followers. Imagine to
yourself tho desperadoes, bullies and outcasts,
even of Kansas, and your fancied picture Mill
fall short of the real living tableaux present
ed by the -'citizens of Kansas in Washington,
who. it is said, visited the President a few
days ago, and assured him of the strong feel
ing of admiration they entertained for him.
Offices are bought just as openly as the
butcher buys the beef intended for his custo
mors. Office-brokers have tho run of the
Senate ante-chamber, of the several depart
ments and the executive mansion ; and the
actual sum of money to bo paid for an office
is as publicly named by these brokers and
their clients, as the price ol urj goods are
named between a dealer in those articles and
his customers. Corruption stalks through the
city, not in disguise, but with unblushing
front and exalted mien : the time for vice to
seek dark lanes and private places for its op
crations is gone by, and now men are bought
and sold, votes purchased, and all the detesta
ble traffic in the hopes, weaknesses and sor
rows of human nature is carried on without
shame. Tho causo of this great chango is
plain to all. Fraud rules tho Cabinet and
Senate ; fraud deep, malicious, infamous
fraud upon the peoplo of tho Union, upon
Kansas, and especially upon the Democratic
party is set up as an object of worship. The
Lccompton fraud has become another molten
calf, and those who have set it up lor worship
have "corrupted themselves."
One-half of these cut-throats and ballot-box
stuflcrs arc awaiting their commissions as of
ficers of the General Government. Land of
fices, Indian agencies, mail agencies, etc., are
to be bestowed upon these outcasts as soon as
the Democratic party at the North shall be
defeated in every State in which the Lecomp-
ton fraud shall be endorsed.
Four or five females were arrested and tried
last week, at Mount Vernon, Indiaua, for as
saulting a German Methodist clergyman
They waylaid him as he was leaving the church,
after an evening meeting, and pelted him with
stale eggs. A brother of the church, who
attempted to shield the preacher, was knock
ed down and roughly handled. The reason
alleged in the extenuation was that the clergy
man had made some unwarrantable innendos
in tho pulpit against the character of his as
sailants.
Old Prater. Rev. A. C. Coxe, of the
Episcopal Church, in Baltimore, has called at
the office of the Pariot to state that the pray
er offered by him at the opening of the Scien
tific Convention, is erroneously attributed to
his authorship. He was not its compiler, as
most of it may be found, nearlv word for
word, in the seventh and ninth chapters of the
Book of Wisdom. Thus a prayer, at least
two thousand years old, has proved entirely
suitable to the use of a Scientific Convention
in the nineteenth century.
In Wisconsin, the cities of Racine, Osh
kosh, Sheboygan, La Crosse and Beloit, chose
Republican mayors as such, and William A;
Prentiss, chosen mayor of the Democratic
city of Milwaukee on a people's Anti-Lccomp-ton
Ticket, is an out spoken Republican. On
ly Kenosha and Portage cities, elect Demo
cratic mayors ; but in Kenosha the result
turned on the personal popularity of the can
didates, tho Republicans choosing nine of the
twelve alderman.
In the five months Congress has been in
Session, but ten public and eleven private acts,
and six joint resolutions have passed both
Houses. Kansas, like Aaron's rod, has swal
lowed all the small fry. There are about five
hundred bills unacted on, which have been re
ported from Committees, and over a thousand
bills and petitions yet in committee rooms
All this mass of business is likely to go over
to another term.
The Lycoming Gazelle complains that the
State having sold her public improvements
has nothing left to sell except tho Capitol "the
Legislature having sold itself many years
ago." The people have never complained of
this Sale, and never will. That some of the
Canal officials should do so, is natural, as they
have been as effectually "sold" as the improve
ments.
Let it be remembered that the English Bill
makes no provision whatever for the admis
sion into the Union of Kansas as a Free State
it the people of Kansas will not come into
tho Union under the unmitigated Lccompton
Slave Constitution, they arc to be kept out
of tho Union until they are ready to submit
to tho terms of the nigger drivers.
Daniel Webster's father made a cradle for
little Dan out of a pine log, with an axe and
auger, and Lewis Cass was rocked by his
staid mother iu a second hand sugar trough.

TRFPAKED FOR THE "RAFTSMAN'S JOURNAL."
Indiana County. On the 20th, two lads,
sons of Mr. William D. Stnchal, of White
township, went out gunning, each carrying a
loaded piece. The elder brother was walking
in front, resting the barrel on the leu arm, the
muzzle pointing backward. Something coni
ng against tho hammer, caused the gun to go
off, lodging the contents in the Side of the
younger brother, after shattering his arm a-
bove the elbow. Surgical aid was promptly
sent for, but all the skill employed was abor
tive, and the lad died on ednesday morning.
Another solemn warning to be careful with fire
arms On Saturday, the 17th inst., Mr.
Daniel Ansley, Sr., of South Mahoning tp.,
while busily engaged making fence, was sud
denly attacked by a fit of Apoplexy, causing
his death in about one hour. The deceased

Newvillc, on Saturday, lucre were, also, on
that day, at the Company Store, 12 barrels
readv for shipment On last W cctnesday
week, a passenger on the Indiana Branch, dis
covered, alter leaving the train at Indiana,
that his Docket book, containing about sixty-
five dollars in money, was missing, lie was
informed that a Get man had been seen pock

Kuinmacher, who, our readers will remember,
was shot by young Baker, in Coneiuaugh boro'
Cambria county, a few weeks aso, died at his
residence in into township, this county, on
Tuesday, 27th ult. An injucst was held on
the body by Justice lieed, ot Indiana, on
Wednesday. A pout mortem examination was
made by Dr. Win. Anderson, of Indiana, and
the lungs, heart, and flesh of deceased were
found to be in a diseased state, occasioned by
the shots which had been lodged in his body
by young BaKer. The jury rendered a verdict
in accordance with tnc above.
Washington Cocxty. A colored boy named
Manley, about 9 or 10 years of age, had bis
arm broken on Friday last, by a fall from the
trestle work of the Hempficld Railroad in the
outskirts of W ashington borough. . . . Rev
C. V. M'Kaig, of Candor, has been appointed
a ministerial commissioner, by the Ohio pres

on the Cth of Mav. . . . The Associate Presby
terian Congregation near Bavington, recently
presented their pastor, the Rev. James G
Rankin, with a valuable Lrold atcli, as a
testimonial of their appreciation of his devo
tion to the interests of the Sabbath School
and Bible class connected with the congrega
tion. ...On Wednesday of last week, Mr
Fisher White, an aped and respectable citi
zen of East Pike Run Township, while at work
with his grandson in a field, was suddenly
crushed beneath a rolling log. Mr. White
was 81 years of age. ...During last week,
Mr. Wicr, Jr., of Franklin township, started,
for the Eastern market, a prime lot of Cattle
fed by himself during the past winter. The
lot numbered 31, and weighed 56,308 lbs., the
average being 1,058. Several weighed over
2 000. . . . The prospects in our county, for
an excellent wheat crop, was never more fa
vorable at this season ot the year thau it is at
present. It is a rare thing to meet with a
field that docs not give promise ot a most a-
buudant yield.
Blair County. Elias Baker, Esq., propri
etor of Allegheny Furnace, and reputed to be
one of the wealthiest men in the State, has
failed to a large amount. His liabilities, it is
said, exceed two hundred thousand dollars,
It is thought, however, that his extensive prop
erty will cover all his debts, aud still leave
him a handsome competence. ... Some weeks
ago a number of tho mechanics and laborin
men attached to the Railroad Depot at Altoona,
petitioned the Superintendent of the ltoau
for an increase of wages, winch, at tnc com
mencement of the financial crisis, had been
decreased ten per cent, lhe petition was
considered by the officers of tho Company,
and assurance given to the petioners that the
wages in the course of a few months would bo
restored to their original standard. Some of
the petitioners were satisfied with this assu
ranee ; but the majority of them desired the
increase immediately, and held meetings, at
which an obligation was subscribed to, resol
viii i upon a "strike." The affair was com
municated to the Superintendent, who forth
with used means to quell the strike, and sue
ceeded. Here, apparently, the matter ended.
On i riday last, however, Mr. Scott, at the de
cision of the Board of Directors, gave notice
to all who had signed the resolutions for a
strike to "walk up to the Captain's office for
settlement." The number discharged amount
to some one hundred and fifty.

last a fire broke out in a frame building, situ
ate on the west of the jail in Clarion borough,
owned by George Weaver, of Bellefonte, and
occupied at the time by Miss Potter, which
was entirely consumed in a little over half an
hour. The fire originated from some defect
in the chimney, and when first discovered
had gained such headway that all efforts to
save the building were useless, and the atten
tion ot those present was directed to saving
adjoining buildings. No insurance.
Jefferson County. On Friday night last,
the hotel kept by A. Ilinderliter, in Corsica,
was destroyed by fire. Mr. II. saved nearly

man and orator was traveling somewhere "out
West," and put up for the night at a country
tavern. "Mine host," in looking over the
register, discovered the name of Henry Clay.
There was but one "Clav." Could it be pos
sible that he had this distinguished man under
his roof. He was astounded, delighted. Next
morning, as soon as the "gteat man" appeared
the admirable Boniface bustled forward, and
made his rude bow.
"Mr. Clay, I believe, sir?" said he.
"That is my name," said tho gentleman in
Lis affable tone.
"Mr. Clay, the Congressman 1"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, sir, I've heerdoi yon, and I thought
I'd just ask if you wouldn't give me and my
old woman a little speech before you go ?"
