THE JUDGESHIP.
As this is the last paper we will issue before
the election, we wish to call attention to the
importance of selecting a man who is compe
tent in all respects to fill the office of, and will
make a good Judge.
During the past week, many of the citizens
of our county had an opportunity ol seeing
onr Courts presided over by Hon. James Gam
ble, who is before the people as a candidate
for the position. Against Judge Gamble, as
a man, we have not a word to say. We do not,
however, believe that he would make as
prompt and efficient a Judge as is desirable.
All will admit that he put in a faithful week
commencing .early on Monday and quitting
late on Saturday night, having labored con
stantly and industriously every day and yet
the amount of business disposed of, as will be
seen by the proceedings in another column,
is comparatively small, two civil and six Com
monwealth cases only being tried one of the
former, it is true, being somewhat tedious.
It appeared to us that he gave the lawyers too
much time, that he permitted them to discuss
points at too great length, and after having
done so, that he displayed indecision in arri
ving at conclusions.' This was so apparent
that it became a matter of comment, and fre
quently was it remarked that "the new Judge
is slow."
The competitor of Jndge Gamble, is Sam
uel Linn, Esq., of Bellefonte. He is known
to our people as one of the best lawyers in the
State, a safe counsellor, quick at catching
points and arriving at conclusions, and an
honest, faithful and persevering advocate. As
the author of a legal wofk "Linn's Analyti
cal Index of Pennsylvania Cases" he has re
ceived the commendation and praise of some
of the most distinguished Jurists that the
State can boast. His bitterest opponents in
the district acknowledge that he occupies "a
front position at the bar," and, wo believe, it
is a conceded fact that he is better qualified
for the position than Judge Gamble. No one
doubts that, if elected, he would make an ac
tive, prompt, indefatigable Judge, and that tLe
business of the Courts would be transacted
with the greatest dispatch that a fair and im
partial administration of justice would per
mit; and parties would rest assured that the
causes would not be permitted to accumulate
to such an extent that a couple years would
elapse before they could come up for trial.
When these facts are taken into considera
tion, and in addition it is remembered that a
Judge is elected for a term of ten years, and
that they will have to pnt np with whoever is
elected for that length of time,' it seems to us
that the people will have little trouble in de
termining whom, they should support.
; H02T. A. G. CTTRTI.
By a reference to the proceedings of the
County Meeting of the People's Parly held in
this place last week, which appear in another
column, it will be seen that a resolution was
unanimously adopted in favor of Hon. Andrew
G. CcRTi as the candidate of the party for
Governor, in 18GC. This is not the mere lau
datory expression of a few persons, it is un
doubtedly the sentiment of the united body of
the Opposition of Clearfield county. Col.
Curtin enjoys to an unbounded extent the re
gard and confidence of the party in this sec
tion he ia looked upon as one of the best
and sonndest men In the Commonwealth and
with him as our standard-bearer in the next
Gubernatorial contest, victory would be sure.
We are indebted to U. J. Jones, Esq., the
spicy local ed itor of the Lancaster Daily Ex
press, for a copy of a handsome pamphlet he
has just published, entitled "The Rights of
Railway Travellers and the Rights of Railway
Companies in their virions capacities as Com
mon Carriers." It is a compilation ol "Facts
of Importance to those not versed in Railway
Law based upon common law, special acts,
and legal decisions," and should be read by
er?ry Railway traveller. .
-Wj. McBride, our candidate for Prothono
tary, was last Friday afternoon, whilst in this

fair way of speedily recovering. Tye trU8t h js

FEOPLE'8 COUNTY MEETING.
Last Wednesday evening, one of the largest
and most. enthusiastic meetings which has for
a long time convened in Clearfield Borongh,
was held by the People's Party in the Court
House. The following named gentlemen were
selected as officers of the meeting :
President James B. Graham, Esq.,
Vice Presidents James Gallaher,' Hon. T.
B. Davis, Samuel Fulton, Jesse Brooraall,
John W. Wright, Esq., James Irwin and Jon
athan Hartshorn.
Secretaries John G. Cain, Jiath. Rishel,
M. A. Frank, Louis J. Ilurd and S. B. Row.
After the organization had been perfected,
II. B. Swoope, Esq. stated the object of the
meeting, and in a neat and appropriate man
ner introduced Col. Louis W. nail, the Peo
ple's candidate lor State Senator. Col. Hall
having been, very ungenerously and unfairly,
the night before, placed in a wrong position
on the tonnage tax question, by the Democrat
ic orators, who alleged that the repeal of that
tax would reduce the revenues of the State
$300,000, he at once "brought up to the
scratch" the gentlemen who had undertaken
to present his views without knowing what
they were, and after disposing of them, clear
ly and distinctly declared himself opposed to
any legislation which would, directly or indirect-
It, increase the taxes, or reduce the revenue of
the Commonwealth. He then proceeded to give
his views upon the various topics involved in
the canvass. So far as the slavery question is
concerned, he held that whilst he was opposed
to interfering with the institution in the States
wherein it existed, he was also firmly opposed
to its extension into the Territories that Le
wished to see their soil tilled by free, white
labor. lie next gave his views on the tariff,
taking strong ground for such an one as will
fully and completely protect the laborers, me
chanics, manufacturers and producers of our
own country. lie then referred to the
naturalization question, stating that, al
though differences of opinion might exist a
mong the Opposition as to the length of time
a foreigner should remain in this country be
fore the elective franchise should be bestowed
upon him, yet they all held that after a for
eigner was naturalized he was entitled to the
fullest . protection cf our Government, the
world over. Having given his own views, he
contended that he had a right to know those
of his competitor, who had thus far remained
"mum" on every question, except that of the
tonnage tax, upon which, having been consid
ered unsoDd at home, he had been interroga
ted by his friends, and issued a reply.
J. B. McEnally, Esq., then introduced, with
a few terse remarks, Isaac G. Gordon, Esq.,
one of our candidates for the Assembly, who
proceeded to define his position on such ques
tions as would probably have to be acted on
by roemoers ol the Legislature. He took
grounds similar to those of Mr. Hall on. the
naturalization, tariff" and slavery questions;
said he was opposed to the repeal of the act
regulating travel on the Sabbath, as well as to
the repeal of the tonnage tax ; and that whilst
he might vote for the re-charter of some of the
old, well-established banks, he was opposed
to the loose system of banking now in vogue
ic this State, under which bank failures arc
constantly occurring, and subjecting the la
boring classes to serious losses.
Andy' Curtin, as he is familiarly named
here, being in the house, was loudly called
for, and made one ol his inimitable speeches.
We regret that wo cannot give a full outline
of it. Suffice it to siy, he urged the superior
ability and attainments of Samuel Linn, Esq.,
as a reason why he should bo elected Judge ;
showed that the real contest on the slavery
question was between hired and owned labor
whether negro labor, owned by a monied a:is
tocracy, or the paid'labor of free, white men,
should have the supremacy in our territories;
and demonstrated clearly the necessity of hav
ing American Indusrry protected without de
lay. He said the Democrats, the night previ
ous, had a "set-up" on the tonnage tax ques
tion, but that Hall and Gordon had taken a
roll at the pins, the former making a "knock
down," and the latter a "ten-strike." He al
so reviewed Mr. Buchanan's course, in a very
amusing manner, but the applause was almost
deafening when he alluded to the "bachelor
President" receiving from the Keystone Club
the Cincinnati Platform, unrolling the sheets,
taking the bantling in his arms, and whilst
danddllng it np and down, singing :
"Hush my babe, lie still and slumber,
Pierce and Douglas guard thj bed,
Border P.ufJ5ans, without number,
Hover 'round thy woolly head."
When he had finished, the following resolu
tion was offered and unanimously adopted :
Renoir ed. That we have unbounded confi
dence in the integrity, ability, and high char
acter of Hon. Andrew G. (Jcriis, of Centre
County, who has this night so eloquently ad
dressed ns, and that we earnestly recommend
him to our State Convention as our standard
bearer in the next Gubernatorial contest.
The meeting then adjourned in the best hu
mor, and in the same good order which had
characterized the entire proceedings.
The Republican of last week indulges in half
a column of comments on a paragraph of ours
about the Bald Hills Post Office, in which it
charges the Opposition with being responsible
for the defeat of the Post Office Appropriation
Bill, and then remarks, "such is Republican
rule." As the Democrats had a majority in
both branches of Congress last winter,- -such
twattle is too Billy almost to notice at all. : In
the paragraph alluded to, we asserted that
"ten or a dozen" bags of documents for Hon.
J. L. Gillis, could at any time for two weeks
have been seen in the post office in this place.
This is one of the "faefs," which our op-town
neighbor charges us with "perverting," but
at the same'timo ho fixes the number of bags
at "eighteen," which makes the "facts" ap
pear that much worse against the Department,
ana shows how it spends money that could be

" FOREIGN NEWS. . . t
By the arrival of the steamer Asia,' at New
York on Sept. 29, we have more complete, in
telligence np to the date of the sailing of the
Circassian, the 27th inst. The British. .Gov
ernment has decided to augment the China
squadron by sending out several steam frigates
and corvcttes,with 1,000 marines. '.'A military
force is'also to be sent from India immediate
ly. There was a statement from Paris that
12,000 French troops were to be held in rea
diness to be sent to China. The rumors of an
agreement between England and France upon
a Congress to settle Italian affairs were dis
credited. The Assembly of Fauna had voted
the confirmation of Farini as Dictator, and to
raise 5,000,000 francs by a loan. Garibaldi is'
preparing for a concentration of troops upon
any desirable point. Gen. Fanti,Commander-in-Chief
of the troops of the Italian League,
has his headquarters at Bologna. The Pope's
health is almost restored. The slate of seige
in Venetia was soon to be abolished. Ger
many is much disappointed by the Prussian
Regent's reply to the petitions for reform. We
have no later news, but some interesting par
ticulars of the conflict in China. The con
duct of the Americans is universally praised.
We understand that some of the Democrats
of this county aro electioneering for Augustin
Dtirbin something after this style : That they
do not expect him to be elected, but want
to give him the party vote to show Cambria
and Blair that they do not feel revengeful for
the defeat of Mr. Wallace in the conference,
and that they do not wish to cut a man on ac
count of the peculiar sectarianism to which
Mr. Durbin is said to adhere. This may lj
a fine stroke of policy on the part of the Dem
ocratic politicians of Clearfield, but whether
Mr. Durbin will relish a support given under
such a state of feeling, is a matter of no con
cern to us. One thing, however, we will say,
if Mr. Durbin is the sort of man we have
heard him represented, the Democracy will be
heartily ashamed of him, should he happen to
be elected, before his term would half expire.
But we think the' will be saved that mortifica
tion, as Mr. Hall will doubtless be elected.
There seems to be a mania for going up in
a balloon. Prof. Coo and Mr. Cottman went
up at Rome, X.Y., on the 29th. At a hight of
two miles the balloon burst; but fortunately the
netting converted the empty bag into a para
chute, and the voyagers landed safely in a
swamp. La Mountain has not been heard from.
When l.iat seen he was passing over the south
east corner of St.LawrenceCountj'jOn the verge
of the great northern wilderness, about fifty
miles from Watertown. The balloon was at
an immense hight, and was going eastward
with lightning speed. Later.- A dispatch has
been reC.fdvi"! Cram .3 MOniitoin, dated Oct. o,
stating that he landed COO miles north of
Waterton, in the Canada Wilderness, and was
brought out by Indian guides, in their canoes,
having been four daj-s without food.
The Gold Regions. Recent advices from
Frazer river give accounts of the discovcry
of new and profitable diggins on Quesnel riv
er, about three hundred miles above Fort
Yale. Laborers are said to be making from
fifty to one hundred dollars a day each. Tra
ders along the river were giving up business,
and leaving for tin newly discovered mines.
Accounts from Carson Valley state the yield
of gold to be very good, a single claim having
been recently sold for twelve thousand dollars.
The war in China will be a bloody one. No
propositions for settlement will be entertain
ed by the English until they shall succeed in
killing a large number of Chinamen. The
destruction of several hundred soldiers has
fully aroused the wrath of John Bull, whose
flag, like that of Imperial Rome, was never
insulted with impunity. The new firearms of
Europe are rapidly getting into the hands of
the Chinese, and the Russians will spare no
pains to acquaint them with thei r use. j
A distressing accident occurred on the 2 Sib,
at Albion, New York. A bridge, on which
a large number of persons (in attendance on
the county fair) were standing gave way, pre
cipitating the greater portion of the party
into the canal below. Some eighteen persons
are known to have been drowned. It is fear
ed that a still greater number were drowned,
but the facts could not be ascertained. A
large number received severe injuries.
An editor of a paper lately informed his
readers that the ladies always pull off the left
stocking last. This, as may be supposed,
created some stir among his fair readers, and
while in positive terms they denied the state
ment, they insisted that he had no business to
know it, even if such were the fact, lie proves
it, howerer, by a short argumeut. "When
one stocking is pulled off, there is another left
on ; pulling off this is pulling the left stock
ing off last."
Next Tuesday is the day of election. We
hope our friends will all turn out and vote the
entire ticket which stands at the bead of our
paper. Keep a sharp look-out that there is no
cheating done. See that there are no mixed
tickets foisted upon tbo unwary. And watch
that no illegal votes aro cast.
Mr. John Fine,-aged 96 years, and Miss
Elizabeth Ilabley, of Davidson county, N. G.,

back. .
