The Editor of the Clearfield Republican
is again troubled in spirit. His case we
fear, in this instance, is a desperate one, and
unless some timely remedy be applied may
prove fatal. He appears to have a violent
attack of "soldier on the brain," brought a
Lout directly, we are led to infer from his
spasmodic ravings last week, by the llcpub
lican nominations in this county. Having,
since the close of the rebellion, affected
great solicitude for the temporal welfare of
the returned "defenders of our flag," the
nomination of that worthy class of our citi
zens by the Republican party here, pi -ces
him in a rather awkward attitude inasmuch
as all the candidates of the Sham Democra
cy for local offices, (all more or less good
ravins ones.) arc all old party hacks not a
"returned soldier," cither with or without
"thou! Jer -straps," Las a place on their
ticket. Ifyou arc so much concerned about
giving the "returned soldiers" something
"substantial" if you do not want them "to
stand out in the cold" if you do not wish
to see them "tickled with the barren com
pliment of a nomination" lo which they
"cannot be elected" why not withdraw
your ticket and make your professions good
by your acts? You have the power to do
it. A nomination on your ticket, as you in
timate, is equivalent to an election in this
county and district. Tho offices are "hand
some institutions." The position of State
Senator pays good. Why not get Mr. Wal
lace to step aside for a "returned soldier?"
An Assemblyman is supposed to have a
"sure thing" of it. Why does not Dot-tor
Boyer ask a "returned soldier" to take his
place ? The positions of IVothonotary and
Register and Recorder could be hand
pouiely filled by "returned soldiers.' Why
not Etzwciler and Barger show their "sym
pathy" by asking soldiers to run in their
etead ? And as to County Treasurer, it is
paid to be a particularly nice paying affair
now J Why does not Daniel Moore disin
terested, patriotic Daniel who always was
a friend of the soldier, who has been Treas
urer once before, and also served a four
years' term as "Special Agent" of the
Post Office Department why, wo ask, does
not Daniel invite some maimed hero to ac
cept of his position on the Democratic ticket,
for a place which is not "humbuggery," but
; is worth several thousand dollars a year ?
- If there is any sincerity in your professions '
if your friendship for the soldier is not af
fected if your talk is not mere bosh and
clap-trap, Mister editor of the Republiaiii,
ask those whom you have a right to ask, to
get out of the way for the "returned sol
diers," and then at the October election
cast your votes for them, and we will not
have a word to say against you on that score.
Unless you do this, the public will regard
all your talk about the "returned soldiers"
as gammon of the oiliest and rankest species

POSITION 0P4 THE REBEL STATES, i
Secretary Stanton has furnished General
S LOCUM with his views of the condition of
the States lately in Rebellion, so far as Ihe
Fame relate io the restoration of civil rights.
It secm3 to be taken for granted, in some
parts of the South, that the old state of af
fairs is revived, and in some places there
have been attempts to act as if the State
authority were supreme. It has been for
gotten that there are yet no State Govern
ments in any State lately in Rebellion, or
inclined to Rebellion, but Virginia, 'Tennes
see and Missouri. The Provisional Govern
ments are as the name shows, experimental,
and the business of the Provisional Govern
ors is to restore Civil Government, if it can
fairly be done in obedience to the national
authority. The United States are now en
deavoring to bring about a full restoration of
civil rights, if the people latterly in Rebellion
accept the situation and do their bet to re
store peace, industry, law and good order.
Hence the idea that there can be a conflict
of authority between-tho military comman
ders and the States lately in revolt, and the
Provisional Governors or inhabitants of
those States, is a folly.' The Millitary Gov
ernment is still supreme. The Provisional
Governors will be encouraged and protected
in the lawful discharge of. their duties to the
Federal Government, but they are not to be
allowed to set themselves up in .opposition
to the officers of the latter. Secretary Stan
ton says very plainly :
"That the' President has accorded a Pro
visional Government to the State of Missis
sippi is a fact 'which should not be allowed
to abridge or injuriously affect the jurisdic
tion heretofore pionerly assumed bv military
courts in that region during the war; and
especially is the continued exercise of that
jurisdiction called for in cases first, of
wrong or injury done by citizens to soldiers,
whether white or black ; and second, ol as
sault or abuse of colored citizens generally
whether, indeed, the local tribunals are
either unwilling, by reason of inherent pre
judice, or incapable, by reason of the defec
tive machinery, .or because ot some btate
law declaring colored persons incompetent
as witnesses, to do lull justice, or properly
punish the offenders. The State of Missis
sippi, in common with other insurgent
States, is still in the occupation of our forces,
and embraced as it is in a militarv depart
ment, is still-to a very considerable extent
under the control of the military authorities.
Moreover, the Rebellion, although physi
cally crushed, has not been officially an
nounced, or treated, cither directly or indi
rectly, as a thing of the past ; the suspen
sion of the habeas corpus has not been ter
minated, nor has the miHtary law ceased to
be enforced, in proper cases, through the
agency of military courts and military com
manders, in all parts of the country."
Secretary Seward) -being appealed to on
behalf of a county judge who attempted to
issue a writ of habeas corpus for a military
prisoner, made a siuii.ar reply, declariug
that Mississippi was under martial law, and i
that the military was supreme. This seems
just. It is impossible to perceive how a
person cculd pretend to act as a county
judge in a State which Iks not yet formally-
renounced rebellion nor established, by the
will of the people, a Government which
promises allegiance to the United States.
The National rinanc-33.
The Secretary of the Treasury presents a
favorable report of the condition of the Na
tional finances on the Cist of August Du
ring the preceding month the principal of
the National debt was increased only ;?2'J5,
000, while the interest on the debt has been
decreased nearly $231,000. Nearly $44,500,
000 in coin, and nearly $43,000,000 in cur
rency, are bow in the treasury, and the sus
pended requisitions only are a little ocr
$2,000,000. The receipts from internal. rev
enue for the last two months, have averag
ed nearly $1,1)00,000 per day, a sum that
thould be amply sufficient to defray all the
expenses of the Government, which would
leave us, on the present basis of taxation, a
sum equal to our entire receipts from cus
toms, to be ap; lied to the liquidation of the
public debt Thus it becomes more and
more clearly evident that the American peo
ple ars abundantly able and willing to main
tain the burden of the interest of the Nation
al debt, and even to pay it effac no distant
period.
The President's Policy. The Wash
ington correspondent of the X. Y. Tribune
under date of September 7th says: "The
President in conversing recently with a
prominent New-Orleans journalist, referred
to his policy, and said that those wlio imag
ined him hostile to negro suffrage were mis
taken. He urged this gentleman to advo
cate liberal views in Louisiana. "Why,"
he said, "cannot your people settle this
thing without allowing it to bother me?
Why cannot you do as Massachusetts does?
If a negro can read the Constitution and
write his own name, let him vote. There
are not 500 in Lousiana who can answer
that test ; but it will be doing justice all
around, and stop this Northern clamor."
Vermont Election. The sham Demo
cracy don't make much of a show in Ver

mously Republican, the House stands 210
Republican to 21 Democrats.

DEMOCEATIC EXPECTATIONS. -
, A correspondent of the Mobile Tribune
indulges glowing anticipations of the way
the South will rluck the United States Gov
ernment when it comes into that control
which the Northern Confederate Democracy
is in such haste to give it. Discharge from
all taxes previously assessed, relief from all
present taxes, and compensation for all dam
ages done by the war, including those from
the gun powder explosion in that city, are
onlythe beginning of thesegay expectations
This little insight is interesting in connec
tion with" the course of the Northern Con
federate Democracy in their State Conven
tions, which is skillfully designed to give
their Southern confederates this power to
add all their own losses by their own war to
the burdens of the country, and to throw
them all from their own sholders. The
Tribunes corespondent begins by correcting
a misunderstanding in regard to the nation
al direct tax, which, it says, was imposed
only for thejear 1SG1 : and"there is hope,"
it says, "even this burden as it exists, may
be removed by the next Congress, which
will assemble before the tax can be collect
ed." He then goes on to assure the people
that when the South gets its own agaiu
which is simply the control of the govern
ment, the door will be thrown open to all
their claims for damages by the war, inclu
ding the pay for their slaves. The people
of the North will in thishave an inkling of the
operation of the Northern Confederate Dem
ocratic method of reducing burdens. We
give the extract :
There seems to be much error in regard to
claims against the Government. All claims,
which are not founded on express contracts
with the Government, or upon vouchers
furnished by quartermasters and commissa
ries, have no present hope, or possibility of
payment. AH such demands must, by law,
be adjucatcd by the "court of claims" in
Washington city. Hut the doors of that
court are now closed by a peremptory sta
tute against all persons (loyal or disloyal)
residing in the Confederate States, on ac
count of claims for property taken or dam
age done during the war. Such is the pres
ent state of the case, but I fcl confident
that the next Congress will repeal this sta
tute, and open the court to all claimants.
I have charge of large claims of this charac
ter, but it is useless to urge them now.
"llaste is not always .speed." When the
Government shall return to its ancient prin
ciples and precedents, as I believe it will,
it will pay fur much of the property taken
and destroyed during the war. It is con
stitutionally bound to pay the owners of
slaves for abolition of that institution, and I
do not despair of the fulfillment of that ob
ligation. It is, also, according to the general
principles of law, bound to pay the dama
ges occasioned by their recent gunpowder
explosions in this city. The eleven States
lately "confederate" will soon have in the
United States Senate twenty-two Senators,
and in thj otherIlouse at least $4 members.
With this political power,' if they do not do
justice for their people it will be because
thoy are imbecile fools. If they will put
themselves under the leadership of that
great statesman, -and diplomatist, W. W.
Boycc, of South Carolina, 1 guarantee that
he will control the Government. This po
litical power skilfully managed can make
Presidents tremble, and the leaders of party
to crawl on their bellies before it. If we
don't have whom we choose for the next
President of the United States, it will be
our folly.

South with the army prefer to remain there,
finding a more fert ile field for their enter
prise. The large cities have not suffered in
this way to so great an extent, and have
there usually more laborers than there is em
ployment. The announcement of the wants
of the New England manufacturers may pos
sibly assist to transfer this surplus labor to
fields where there is a greater demand forit.

: WELL MATCHED. ;,
There is a coincidence in the nomination
of the editor of the Doylestoicn Democrat,
for Auditor General, and the selection of the
Senator from Clearfield as the Chairman .of
the Copperhead State Central Committee
w hich the fighting men of Pennsylvania can
not fail to see. Indeed the men who lelt
the comforts of their homes, and gave up the
interest of their busiuess, to peril their lives
on the battle field in defence of the safety of
the Government, believing that they would
not forfeit any of the franchises ot citizen
ship, are under jKHMiliar obligations to W.
W. H. Davis, editor of the Doyltstmcn
Democrat, and W.A.Wallace, Senator from
Clearfield. When the question ot the right
of the soldiers to suffrage was before the
Legislature, Mr. Wallace was its bitterest
assailant. lie opposed it because he believed
a refusal to extend such a right to the sol
diers absent from Pennsylvania was a fitting
rebuke to those engaged in an unholy war.
lie demanded it because he desired to show
that men brutalized by the inhumanities of
a civil war waged to destroy the brave and
chivalric people of the slave States, were
unfit to exercise a freeman's right.urtworthy
to be trusted with the sacred privileges of
the ballot. Yet to-day William A. Wallace
is the Chairman ot the Copperhead Central
Committee, and will shortly engage in ap
peals to the soldiers, whom he so lately
characterized as unfit to vote in the field, to
cast their votes when at home for Davis and
Linton. And when the question of ratify
ing the amendment to the Constitution ne
cessary to extend the election franchise to
the soldier came before the people, the
Doylcstoicn Democrat, owned and coutrol
ed by W. W. II. Davis, now the copper
head candidate for Auditor General, echoed
all the vile slander heaped upon the sol
diers by Wallace, and added to the copper
head slanders by coining new fasehoods to
defeat that great measure of justice to our
fighting men. Gen. Davis,own journal then
completely under his control and supposed
to reflect his views, denounced the projiosi
tion to enfranchise the soldier the determi
nation to place the country beneath the heel
of military despotism. which the people out
side of the army should resist at the peril of
their lives.
Wallace and the Doylestown Democrat
are still the representatives of the copper
head organization. Will the soldiers of
Pennsylvania be led by these influences ?
Will the soldiers who have just returned to
civil life, disgrace their military record by
voting at the bidding of one man for an
other, both of whom denied the soldiers the
exercise of the elective franchise at a time
when he was giving the highest proofs of
his rights to all the privileges of citizenship?
We believe that no soldier with any regard
for his honor will be thus controlled in his
vote. Tdeijmplt.
Treatment of Negroes in the South.
Judge Carter, who has returned from an
extensive trip through the South, that the
cruelty to the freedmen, and the number of
homicides among them by the whites, are
increasing to a fearful extent, especially in
pi aces where t he troops are withdrawn. Judce
Carter has a copy of tho Sourthern Sun,
which says: Ifthe Yankees are alarmed
at the killing of a few hundred niggers a
day, in states where they have the protection
cf vankce troops to a certain extent, what
will le their alarm after the departure -of the
military forces and tho readrnission into the
Union of those states as sovereign powers,
who will then have a complete organization
of militia in each . county, which will give
the South a standing army that can bid de

On Saturday a week, in New York, a bull
which broke from a drove of cattle, created
quite a sensation. He got up a full head of

and shooting him, but was sent spinning
heels over head for his mendacity. A little

Gen. Steadman, in command at Savannah,
has issued an order stating that he has been
informed that firearms arc distributed over

and directiucr all such arms to be turned

days. After that time the Provost Marshal
shall seize all arms they can find and arrest the
parties holding them. It appearsGen. Stead
man's intormation was of the most impor

lion was threatened.
The Washington Republic says: "We
have heard a story of Mr. R. S. Ewtxl,
lately a Southern insurgent, to the effect
that during his sojourn in this city he was in
vited to n dinner party of rebel sympathizers,
but declined to attend on the ground that
'he could not feat with gentlemen who sym
plwsized with the south in the late stuggle
and yet would not fight for their indepen
dence.' It is sail that this announcement
fell like a wet blanket upon the secesh sym
pathizers." WiRZ,the Anderscnville butcher of Union
prisoners, now on trial in Washington, ha3
asked for the consoling company of two
priests. His request has been granted by
the War Department, and of course every
body knows what the villian meant when he
solicited such consolation. His guilty soul
begins t o sicken at the approach of his doom,
and as he cannot escape the punisment of
men, he intends to elude if possible the
grip of the devil.

State Taxes on NationavSecunties. .;
Will some Democratic 'ir'nal that goes
fpr repudiating the Natiod Debt by means
cf Ssnte taxes on Natiod Securieties un
dertake to answer theecent argument of
Jolfu Sherman, Chaimu of-the Finance
Committee of the Uited States Seuate?
The provisions of tb law is : A11 stocks,
bonds and other securities of the United
States shrill be exempt from taxation by or
VnJer State authorities." That is part of
the contract which the United States made
solemnly with every working man who has
invested Lis savings in a Seven-Thirty bond.
For a State to attempt to lay a tax on one
of those bonds would be the same thing as
attempting to repudiate the contract. A
State cannot annul a law of the United
States. Nay more, it could not tax one of
those bonds even if no such stipulations had
been inserted in the law. The Supreme
Court of the. United States has settled that.
It has repeatedly decided that no State can
lay any tax whatever on Government secu
rities of any description; and for this reason.
The Government of the United States has
the constitutional right to borrow money,
and the Supreme Court said that to lay a
tax on that borrowed money would be to
retard, impede, burden and control the acts
of Congress, audit might be the means of
nullifying them. Speaking of this power
to borrow money, Chief-Justice Marshall
said : "No power has been conferred by
the American people on this Government,
the free and unburdened exercise of which
more deeply affects every member of our
Republic. Can anything be more
dangerous or mor injurious than the ad
mission of a principle whieh.authorizcs every
State and every corporation in the U
nion which possesses the right of taxation
to burden the exercise of this power at dis
cretion ? If the right to impose a tax exists,
it is a right which in its nature ackuoirt
cilocs no limits."
The right to tax having thus been twice
denied by the Supreme Court, the question
came again in another form before the
Court in 1S42, and it was once more declared
that the States could lay no tax. It was
held by a court which was then, as Senator
Sherman says, a Democratic machine, yet
every. Judge agreed, Taney among them,
"that any tax upon any agent in the em
ployment of t he United States by any State,
wa' unconstitutional and void."
The issue, therefore, which the Demo
cratic party threatens to make on this ques
tion of taxation is not with the Republican
party, nor with the Administration, but
with the United States Supreme. Court, and
the hrst Democratic .Legislature that at
tempts to lav a tax on National securities
will find itself confronted by the .jni4al
power of the United States. iVr.u mis, not
on the construction of the loan act.s I wring
the war, but upon the general principle that
a State cannot tax any Government securi
ties. Unless, therefore, the Democratic
party proposes to begin a warfare on the
Supreme Court of the United Mates, it
must stop where it is, or direct its enorts for
repudiation toward Congress. The sooner
the Democrats try that the better, for their
failure will be complete whenever they try
it, and the count ry will eease to be threatened
with a party of Repudiation. X. Y. Tribune.
