Raftsman's $0untal. BT 9. J. BOW. CLEARFIELD, PA., JUNE 21, 1S65. THE LATEST NEWS. Jay Cooke, of Philadelphia, is out in a pamphlet, advocating the utility of the Na tional debt as a bond of Union, and as a basis of National development. He thinks it better that the debt should remain for some time rather than to be paid off at once. The following is the paragraph which gives the spirit of the entire article : "Let us ac cept public debt as public wealth, as a bond, both political and National, of safe-guard to our industry, and as a basis of cur banking our orphans' and widows' fund, and our National debt rightly managed will be a na tional blessing." Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, writes to lion. James Harlan, Secretary of the Inte rior, that there are apprehensions of an ex tension Indian war in upper Arkansas 5, 000 warriors having banded together to make war on exposed white settlements. Senator Doolittle thinks war may be avoid ed if justice is d3ne the chiefs, they having lost confidence in the whites since the butch ery of the Cheyennes, on Land Creek, an affair in which the whites were to blame. The Secretary of War will give the matter his early attention. John M. Botts has "defined his posi tion." He is not opposed to the division of the State, (Virginia), regards F. II. Pier pont as the lawful Governor, accepts the abolishon of slavery, doubts the validity of the Alexandria constitution, and asserts that Gen. Patrick has appointed disloyal men to office in Richmond, and disapproves his action. The returns from Colorado to the General Land office show a great rapidity in land op erations in Denver, in that Territory, under the preemption and homestead laws. Two thousand and fifty-six acres at that place have already bceu taken with bounty land . -i i i - warrants, ana a numoer oi saies nave aiso been made at Saginaw, Michigan. ' Alex. II. Stephens' application for a spe cial pardon covers about 72 pages of fools cap paper. lie reiterates the old State rights doctiine in justification of his course, and upon this principle demands exemption from the amnesty proclamation. Such ef frontary needs a little "snubbing." A delegation of prominent democrats wait ed on the President, last wesk, and had a pleasant interview. The President told them that he intended to administer the Govern ment for the good of the whole people, and not for any party. The Lulepewlent says it is reported that & subscription paper for Gen. Lee is being circulated in New York on which $00,000 tie already subscribed. e presume no t.nly loyal man's name will be found there cr. Gen. Howard has a very satisfactory let ter from the work of freedmen on the South Carolina coast. Nine thousand colored children attend school, and forty thousand freedmen are at work cultivating the crops. Ben Wood, editor oi the N. i'ork Daily A'eics, it is said will be arrested on a charge of treason. This, according to Copperhead logic, will be an innovation on the freedom of the press. On the 1st of May there were one million one hundred and forty thousand men on the pay roll. Since then about one hundred and fifty thousand have been mustered out and discharged. The official list of casualties of Gen. Grants campaign, from the crossing of the Itapidan in May 1SG4 to the surrender of Lee's army, foots up nearly ninty thousand. It is said that in a short time 25,000 Southerners from Texas will be in Mexico, and that the sympathies of the leading men of that party will not be with Maximilian. The President's amnesty proclamation created much excitement in New Orleans. The classes excepted from pardon were more numerous than had been expected. Harry Gilmore, the rebel guerrilla chief whoro Ted a train on the Baltimore and O hlo railroad, about a year ago, is to be in dicted and tried for treason. It is still uncertain asto where Jeff Davis will be tried, but the opinion is prevalent that the trial will take place at Baltimore before Judge Chase. Large numbers of paroled rebels, officers as well as soldiers, have recently arrived in New Orleans, and settled down to the quiet routine oi private me. A very destructive fire occurred in De troit on the uight of the 15th loss about $140,000. The State prison was damaged $40,000. Extensive preperations are being made lor the laying of the corner stone of the Gettysburg monument on July 4th. Robert E. Lee and Alex. II. Stephens, lave petitioned the President, asking special podoju to h granUd them. War In South America. South America, restless and excitable, has another war upon its hands, which has been commenced by Paraguay against the Argen tine Republic, without previous notice it is said, and in a summary way. Corrientes, an Argentine Province, was invaded, and two steamers of the Central Government were captured in the River Parana. It is further said that upon one of these vesels some forty-four pers&ns were murdered in cold blood. It is alleged that by treaty be tween Paraguay and the Argentine Repub lic it was agreed that war should not be commenced except upon six months previ ous notice, a provision which, in the pres ent instance, wa3 altogether disregarded. This bold movement cannot result in any thing but active opposition. The Argen tine Republic will be sustained by Brazil and the Banda Oriental Governments, which in combined population are more than seven to one as compared with Paraguay. They also have armies, fleets, and disposi tion to fight, so that the problem so boldly proposed by Paraguay may end in a solu tion not expected by that aggressive power. Bennett on Negro Suffrage. The New York Herald makes the follow ing suggestion, which smacks of originality to say the least: "We would give the suf frage at once to four classes of Southern ne groes. First, and emphatically, to every negro who has borne arms in the cause of the United States ; second, to every negro who owns real estate ; third, to every negro who can read and write ; andfourth, to ev er' negro who had belonged to any religious organization or church for five years before the war. These points would cover every one that ought to vote, and they would in sure in every negro voter a spirit of man hood as well as dicipline; some practical shrewdness, intellectual development, and moral consciousness and culture. . It is well worth the consideration of the President whether something like this should not be included in the scheme of reconstruction. Prom Eio Janeiro. By late dates from Rio Janeiro we have the gratifying intelligence of the safe arrival at that place of Professor Aoassiz, who had had an agreeable interview with the Emperor of Brazil. The Professor, with his staff of servants, intends to remain a few months to explore the neighborhood the Brazilians looking upon the movement as the prelude to the development of the resour ces of the empire, which have for so long lain dormant and then proceed to Peru by way of the Amazon river. Rio was lively with volunteers arriving from the interior and departing for the Paraguayan expedi tion. A meeting is to "be held for promot ing the interests of the American line pack ets. Agents have arrived from the United States for the purpose of selecting lands for the cultivation of cotton, sugar, Sec, and two sites have already been secured. "Talking Trade." The proclamation by the President, res toring trade with the south, is probably the most important step yet taken in the work of reconstruction. There was much sound philosophy in the remark of an old mer chant, when he advised that we should "talk trade"' to the South. Not rclying-on that wholly, we can safely assume that trade will be an important instrumentality in re storing the era of perfect good feeling and sound policy. We almost see the end. Within twenty days, trade, foreign and do mestic, in all but articles contraband of war, will, unrestricted, except by laws and regu lations, apply to all parts of the country. A resumption of the commercial intercourse existing before the rebellion will speedily follow, and with it, it is to be hoped, the re vival of the arts of peace. The United States and France. Secretary Seward makes known that offi cial information has been received that the Imperial Government of France has with drawn the restrictions on American vessels of war in French ports, and also that the re cognition of beligerent rights in rebels has been wholly withdrawn. It it also sta ted that this step has been taken by the im perial Government, purely in the interest of friendship and justice toward this country. England, which should have been first, will, it is presumed, follow in the wake of Napo leon, as it has become her fashion to do on most great questions. Emigrants from Scotland. We see it stated that several gentlemen from Scotland have arrived in Washington, representing a large Emigration Society in that country, having a capital of seven hun dred and fifty thousand pounds, which they propose to invest in Southern lands if suffi cient inducements are offered. The Society is mainly composed of the industrial classes, and on the reception of a favorable report from their representatives here, will increase their capital to one million pounds, and com mence emigrating immediately. The Progress of Eeconstrnction. President Johnston has appointed An drew J. Hamilton to be Provisional Govern or of Texas, and James Johnston to be Provisional Governor of Georgia. The terms of the Proclamations appointing these gentle men are indentical with that in the case of Mississippi. But three of the seceeded States, Alabama, Florida and South Caroli na, remain to b provided with Governors. Late from Texas. The Herald's correspondent in the Gulf Department, furnishes interesting accounts of the incidents preceding, attending, and following the occupation of Brownsville, Texas, on the 31st ult., by the national troops under General Brown. The rebel troops previous to evacuating the place, mutinied, pillaged the town, and made prisoners of some of their officers un til their demands for the payment of their back dues were complied with. The rebels left the day previous to Gen. Brown's arri val, not waiting to be paroled or to comply in any manner with the terms of Gen. Kir- by Smith's surrender. Large numljers of them moved across the Rio Grande into Mexico, taking with them their arms. Their artillery they sold to the Mexican Imperialists at Matamoras. It is said that the last of the rebels were driven from Brownsville by the Mexican residents, who organized a home guard for the preserva tion of order, soon after the evacuation commenced. After taking possession of Brownsville, Gen. Brown wrote a letter to Gen. Mejia, the Imperialist commander at Matamoras, insuring him that neutrality would be observed by the American force in regard to the contest in Mexico between the Republicans and Imperialists. On the 2d inst. the rebel Generals Kirby Smith and Magruder were received on board the United States steamer Fort Jackson, Captain Sands, off Galveston, when the ar ticles of surrender of all the Trans-Mississippi forces, were signed by General Smith. The next morning the rebel officers were conveyed back to Galveston, and on the 5th instant Captain Sands, and other officers, proceeded up to the town, landed arid- re ceived its surrender from the Mayor, and once "more unfurled the national flagover the public buildings in the presence of a large but undemonstrative and orderly assemblage of the people. The Pate of Sam. Houston. A correspondent at Cleveland, signing himself "A Texan Refugee," writes con cerning the fate and whereabouts of Gen. Sam. Houston; "Governor Houston is dead, having deceased early in the year 1363, a bout two years after the inauguration of the rebellion. And I may add. he died of a broken heart." The writer corroborates the statements that have appeared in the press, of Gen. Houston's resistance to the last , of the schemes of the Secessionists. He says, a short time before the death of of Gen. II., "A party or mob proceeded to his house for the purpose of hanging him because his opposition to secession, and es pecially on account of his Union sentiments, promulgated, a short time previously, in a speech delivered by hini at Houston. A few of his neighlors banded together, and succeeded in staying the hellish intentions of the mob, by representing to them that he was in bed, and not likely to survive long. A few days after, he passed away, a mar tyr to his beloved country." These threats which did not shake the purpose of the fath er, caused his son (an only son) to take up arms with the rebels against the Union. From Brazil. The Rio Janeiro papers of May Tth, con tain the speech of the Emperor of Brazil at the opening of the National Congress. He alludes to the difficulty with the United States Government in conrequence cf the seizure in the Brazilian waters of the rebel steamer Florida, and of the interruption of amicable relations with Great Britain, but states that the justice of Brazil's protesting against the former was admitted and hopes that in the latter the proposed mediation may result equally satisfactory. The termi nation of the war with Araguary is announc ed, and allusion to the pending hostilities with Paraguy, which the Emperor had no doubt, from the manner in which his appeal for volunteers had been responded to, would terminate with success to his Empire Don Pedro also informs his Congress that he has recognized Maxamilian as Emperor of Mex ico. Of the present condition of his own Em pire, politically, internationally and financi ally, he gives altogether a very favorable view. North Carolina Credit. The credit of the old North State, always good, is likely to be maintained. Governor Holden estimates the quantity of cotton, turpentine and other property belonging to the State will net from three to five millions of dollars, which sum will pay off the inter est on the State bonds issued before the war, as well as a large margin for contingent and emergent expenses until a system of State taxation is adopted. This willingness to pay the indeptedness, this manifest good faith, will place those bonds at their old val ue, and it is hoped enable the State Treasury to raise money on the issue of new bonds. The Atlantic. Cable Completed The Atlantic telegraph cable, says an En glish paper, was completed on the 29th. The completion was witnessed by a numer ous and distinguished paity, and as the end was deposited in the tank hearty cheers were given. The company then adjourned to the Ship Tavern, where a sumptuous banquet was given m honor of the event by the Tele graph Construction and Maintenance Com pany (late Glass, Elliot & Co.), the makers of the cable. The present valuation of property in Cin cinati is $43,525,000 ; an increase of $14, 000,000, over last year. A Plea for "White-washing. She negroes are free. This is one of the many unexpected consequences of the re bellion, which was intended to make them slaves for ever ami ever: They are not free monkeys, but tree men. This brings them within the range of political science. Hence the negro question becomes a sequel of the slave question. The war has made them free. But they lack one thing yet. They must be white-washed. Emancipation re moves only its disabilities, if some chem ist would invent a process for bleaching the negro skin, he would be all right, and the negro question would be settled for ever like the slave question. The trouble about the negro lies ma nly in hfs skin, just below the epidermis. The difficulty in the laws lies matn'y in two words, found in the nat uralization laws and elsewhere wherever the negro had no business to be, under the o!d slavery, regime. The words "free white," shut him out, however free he was, and however white he was, unless he had both together. There were free uegroes.and there were slaves, sio white as their masters, and looking vastly like them. But these, not being both free and white, were shut out from the republican law provisions. One of these disabilities has been removed. One half of the door that shut out the negro has been opened. This lets in those slaves who are white. But still the white-washing or bleeching is wanted for the black free man. The flat nose and the thick lips are no hin drance, but the second stratum of the hide must be cleaned of its coloring matter. The law of nature or the naturalization law must give way. The black must be bleached out of the skin, or the "white" expunged from the law. We wait the decision of the mat ter with great interest and patience. Pitts burgh Commercial. The Negroes of North Carolina. It is represented that the negroes of North Carolina are greatly disappointed because they are not to be at once admitted to the bal lot box. They had made themselves believe that equality to this extent would immedi ately follow emancipation. But the more educated, it is represented, perceive the ne cessity of proceeding with caution, and do not deny the general lack of intelligence at once to use the ballot understaudingly, and that the tendency would be for "the field hands" to be controlled measurably by t heir old masters. There would appear to a dif ference of opinion even among the negroes themselves, the best conditioned and most intelligent holding not to perfect epualitv, but that they should be admitted first to the ballot box, the rest as soon as they under stand the duties and responssbilities of an elector. It is a fortunate circumstance that in North Carolina, under Governor Holden, the policy of President Johnson will receive a favorable interpretation and liberal sup port in the interest of freedom and justice. The ensuing convention to revise the State constitution is likely, it is said, to be com posed of fair men, disposed to deal honestly and in a progressive spirit, with the great questions growing out of the changed situa tion of the South; and there is reason for believing that the systematic oppression of the treedmen. which has been reared and predicted, will not be attempted, at least in that State. Our Fleet at Havana. The part of our fleet which has recently sailed to Cuba was received with the most distinguished honors, not only by the Cap tain General, but by officers at the port, and by the citizens. Whatever partialities may have been ascribed to the Spaniards in re gard to our domestic controversies during the progress of the war, there seems to Tbe no mistake as to the present tendencies of their sentiments. The honors they paid to the officers of our fleet were hearty, emphatic, demonstrative and honorable. Salutes, re ceptions, balls, parades and banquets were the order of the day ; the Captain-General visited the fleet, dwelling with delight upon the efficiency of our monitors and the beauty of our war-ships; and the leeiproeation of kindly feeling was in every respect worthy of the representatives of two great nations. Medal to Mrs. Lincoln. The following information was received at Washington a short time since : A popular subscription of about two cents er head was commenced at Nantes, in Vance, for a gold medal for Mrs. Lincoln. This medal was to have the following in scription : "Liberty, equality, fraternity twice chosen President of the Uuited States. From the grateful democracy of France. Lincoln honestly abolished slavery, re-established the Union, and saved the Republic without veiling the statue of liberty. He was assassinated on the 14th of April, 18()5." About the 30th of April, when the number of subscriptions had reached eleven thousand one hundred and twenty, the sub scriptions were seized by the police, who stated that the scheme was to be stopped everywhere in France. Comment, on the above, is unnecessary. "Unconstitutional." The Supreme Court of Wisconsin have decided that the law of Congress, requiring stamps to legal processes, in the beginning or other stages of a suit,is unconstitutional, and therefore void, and the stamps on legal papers not necessary. The ground of the decision is that the imposition of a tax up on any proceedings in a State Court is an in vasion of the right of a State to regulate proceedings i.i its own courts ; that if Con gress can tax these proceedings at all, it can lay a tax that will practically amout to a pro hibition, and thus legislate the State Courts out of existence ! A somewhat peculiar exhibition recently closed at Canandaigua, in New York. It was a display of sheep, embracing the rarest stock and variety, and being designed to show the imrrovements in wool growing since the shepherd's care has become more of an occupation than it was formerly in this country. They had five classes of sheep on exhibition, the point of perfection being wool, notflesh. The varieties are American merinoes, fine merinoes, de laine metfnoes, long wooled heep, and- middle wooled heep.
