CLEARFIELD, PA., FEB. 1, 18CO.
Sl-hatorial CoxrERESCE. Tho Conferees
of the Senatorial District, composed ol Cam
bria, Blair, and Clearfield counties, assembled
In Tyrone, on the 27th January, to elect a del
egate to the State Convention of the Peoples'
Party, to be held at Ilarrisbarg, on the 22d of
February. Georgo W. Patton, Esq., of Blair,
was elected President, and Win. McBride, of
Clearfield, Sec'y. Jacob M. Campbell, Esq.,
of Cambria, was unanimously elected the Del
egate, and the following resolutions were a
. doptcd without a dissenting voice :
Resolved, That tho Delegate this day elect
ed, is hereby instructed to vote for the Hon
Samuel Calvix, of Blair county, as the candi
dal ot the People s Tarty for Governor, and
in the event of the name of Mr. Calvin being
withdrawn, or thre being no prospect of his
domination, then ho shall vote for the Hon.
Ajsdrew G. Ccrti.v, of Centre county, as the
only remaining choice of the majority of the
people of this Senatorial District.
Rcsolrei, That the said Delegate be further
instructed to oppose by all fair and legitimate
tneans, tho selection of delegates to tho Na
tional Convention, believing as we do, that it
I elongs of right to the people of the respective
congressional districts and to them alone.
More Treasos. At a recent political meet
ing in Knoxville, Tenn., Judge Daily, former
ly of Georgia, made a startling disclosure
touching Gov. Wise. lie said that, "during
tho Presidential contest, (of 1S5G,) Gov.. Wiso
had addressed letters to all the Southern Gov
ernorsand that the ono to the Governor of
Florida had been shown 1:5m in which Wise
said that he had an arviy i. readiness to prevent
Fitmor.t from taking his seat, if elected, and
asking tho co-operation of those to whom he
wrote !" When the Senate gets through in
vestigating the Harper's Ferry affair, would it
not bo well to make an equally thorougb in
vestigation into the nature and extent of this
"conspiracy 1" In the meantime our Demo
cratic friends might get up a scries of 'union'
meetings, and express their abhorrence of the
meditated "treason" of Gov. Wise. We shall
watchwith somo degree of interest to see if a
single so-called Democratic paper will publish
the abare extract from Judge Baily's speech,
and denounce tho plot therein exposed.
RtALr, old "Brown's Secretary of State,"
barely escaped lynching twice on his way from
Austin to Galveston, in charge of the officer
despatched for bim by the Senate Investiga
ting Committee. In Hempstead ho w,as threa
tened with a coat of tar and feathers, and in
Houston there was some talk of hanging him
to a tree, but ho escsped because the citizens
of both places were not willing interfere
with a United States oficer and his prisoner.
Delegates to the State Convention.
Py the action of the parly in the Representa
tive District composed of the counties of Jef
ferson, Elk, McKean and Cle.vfield, Dr. A. P.
Heichhold of Brookville, and S. B. Row of
Clearfield have been chosen Representative
Delegates to the People's Stato Convention
which meets at Ilarrisburg oa tho 22d Feb'y.
No Speaker in Congress at latest dates. On
Monday Mr. Sherman withdrew in favor of Mr.
Pennington of New Jersey, remarking that be
would consider it a national calamity to have
the control of the House fa!l into the hands of
tho Administration party. A vote was then
taken, with tho following result: Pennington
115, S.raith, S. Am., 113, scattering G.
Samuel C. Sterling, cf Juniata township,
Terry county, was arrested lately on a charge
of obtaining money by misrepresenting mat
ters. It appears he made some simple folks
believe that he had a large fortune coming to
him, and they were fools enough to lend him
judgment notes, which he sold and they will
have to pay.
A Good Ticket. Tho Indiana, Pa., Regis
ter thinks tho nomination of Hon. Edward
Bates, of Missouri, for President, and Hon.
John M. Read, of Pennsylvania, for Vice Pres
ident, would make as strong a span, all things
considered, as the Opposition could put in
harness, for the approaching contest.
It is said that while the printership was be
ing discussed in private Democratic circles in
Washington city, Mr. Wendell exhibited evi
dence, as a claim to consideration, ol his hav
ing expended $111,000 for the benefit of the
cause, inclnding $31,000 for carrying tho Le
compton bill in a modified form.
.The Atlantic Montdlt for February h3s
reached us. The new publishers, Ticknor &
Fields, are sparing no pains to keep up its
bigb-toned and independent character, and o
keep it where it deserves to be at the head
of American periodicals.
Mr. Dorsheimer, well known about Lewis
town, Pa., was recently ordered. out of Virgi
nia, where he had purchased land it appear
ing that some one had reported he had been
hauling powder, but which on examination
proved to be guano.
The narper's Ferry Investigating Commit
tee of tho U. S. Senate has thus tar tailed to
elicit anything that would in the. least impli
' cato any Republican with tho mistaken and
lamentable transaction. ' " ' .
Hon. Chapin Hall, our member of Congress,
Louis W. Hall, Esq., of the State Senate, and
Isaac G. Gordon, Esq., of the Assembly, will
please accept our thanks for favors received.

ception of matters uron which the Senate

the House, members generally came in to-day
with the understanding thatunder Mr. Eth
eridge's proposition, they were to continue

definite period, if no choice was made. Mr.
Hickman (A. L. Pa.), however, stated that he
had intended to resist a vote to-day, but he
would not interrupt tho understanding. He
would, however, withhold his vote, regarding
the arrangement as a farce. Some discussion
was had as to the obligation of members to re
gard the understanding alluded to as binding

with a family in the North Ward, Altoona,
gave birth to a female child, which she laid
between the straw bed and chaff bed, where
it was found soon after by a woman who went
to her room, suspecting from the girl's conduct
that something was wrong, though prior to

to its death by the hands of its mother.
Cambria Cocntt. A rather singular acci

ceived a check from the American Life In
surance Company of Philadelphia for the sum
of one thousand dollars, being the amount of
the policy held by her late husband.and which
they promptly paid upon his death.
JeffersoxCoi ntt. For several weeks past,
a disease, something of the nature of putrid
sore throat, has beeu raging in Oliver town
ship, some ten miles south of Brookville.
Wherever the disease has entered a family, it
has left sad traces. The family of MTilliam
and Lydia Mclvinstry has been nearly all car
ried off.the deaths being as follows : Jan. 1st,

John Weikle, one of the firm of John Weiklo
& Co., lumbermen and boat builders at the
Coleman run mills,on Clarion river took some
nineteen flat boats to Pittsburg, which he dis
posed of at good prices. Since then uo clue
has been obtained to his whereabouts. Some
have alleged that he has decamped with the
proceeds of his sales, but the fact that
he paid the Indebtedness of the firm in Pitts
burgh, purchased a new stock of goods and
many other acts evidencing an intention of
returning, repels thi3 presumption, and gives
credence to the more probable surmises that
he has been foully dealt with. Report says,
the last place h.e was traced to, was a low tav
ern in the city of Pittsburgh. There all trace
of him was lost, nis disappearance has creat
ed much talk in the neighborhood of tho bu
siness operations of the firm.

, Correspondence of the "Raftsman's Journal."
Harrisbcrg, January 28, 18G0.
Dear Row : Matters are moving on here
about as usual. Considerable attention' ap
pears to be given to solving the problems of
who shall be the Speaker of Congress who
shall be the next President, and who shall be
the next Governor.
Talking about tho next Governor who do
you think will get the nomination of the Peo
ple's Party I do not know who you are in
favor of, and I don't care much but without
claiming any credit as a prophet, I say that
Col. Curtin is the coming man. He is already
fortified with a bulwark of strength that can
not be shaken. Tlrere is no question about
his nomination on the second or third ballot.
This is conceded by those who are the friends
of other aspirants. The contest after the nom
ination will be a severe one, but Col. Curtin's
well known abilities on the 'stump will be
brought into requisition, and as he is peifect
ly at home there, he will make the fur fly to
some purpose.
On Tuesday last, Senator Welsh presented a
memorial in the Senate, which, aside from its
novelty, attracted some attention, because,
like the Tariff resolutions, it may be regarded
as a political feeler. It is from John II. Whee
ler, asking for indemnity in the sum of $5,000
for the loss of five slaves rescued from him by
Passmore Williamson and other Abolitiontsts,
in Philadelphia, in 1855, while on his way to
icaragua. Of course his right to recover any
damages is disputed, although he fortifies bis
claim by a long array of legal decisions. The
celebrated Lemmon case, now ia the Court of
Appeals of New York, is one of the same na
ture, and if it is there decided that slaves may
be held while in transitu in free States, Mr.
Wheeler may possibly recover but not fiom
the State of Pennsylvania. The municipal
government of a city which is too weak in the
knees to suppress riots, must pay for the dam
ages done bv them.
There is a bill before the Legislature to levy
an additional tax on Brokers that is to sav-
making them pay four per cent, on their prof
its, and swearing to the amount. This is right.
By a system of adroit financiering they are
enabled to net a much higher rate of interest
than the law contemplates, and all engaged in
the business manage to grow rich. If you
look at the total amount cf tax paid by Bro
kers, you will find that it reaches only $7,000,
while that derived from Bauks foots up at least
a quartef of a million.
While on financial affairs, I may as well state
that there are several applications for new
bank charters awaiting action, which 1 have
not noticed before, viz : one from Clarion
county, one from Scranton, one from Lewis
town, and one from Bradford county. Thev
will all be passed that is to say,orcr the left!
There has been no action taken on the Free
Banking Law. Ono of those davs I nrpsnmfl
it will be called up, and after a waste of words
again consigned to the tomb of the Capulets
at least for "a twelve month and a day," as
Lord Lovell says ia the' song.
The Philadelphians, who, as usual, are mo
nopolizing legislation, have managed to get
several of their bills a safe deliverance, but
they have some on which a regular Indian
talk.-must be had before they pass." For in
stance, they have a bill here in relation to.jp
suranco companies, intended, interested par
ties say, tocrush bogus institutions of the
kind, while others say it is merely to create fat
offices for a couple of gentlemen, who
-deserve our warmest pity.
And should have a situation in the citty.'
I see that Mr. Gordon has road a bill in place
in relation to your borough, but I did not
learn its nature.
The third House, it is supposed, will have
under consideration the Broad Street Passen
ger Railway bill during the coming week, as
well as some other bills of importance. The
decree of this body is final.
Yours, &c, Specks.
