CLEARFIELD, PA., DEC. 6, 1SS5.
THE SEWS.
It appears that in the Tennessee Legis
lature the reflation remonstrating against
the pardon of Jeff Davis and others was a
mended by adding the names of James Bu
chanan and John C. Breckinridge to the list
declared infamous and worthy of death, on
motion of Dr. Keith, who stated that he
had been a Democrat and had been deceived
by them. The preamble and resolutions
were then adopted 19 to 3.
Major General Judson Kilpatrick deliver
ed an address in Boston, on Thursday even
ing to a crowded audience. In the course
of his remarks he said he did not think the
President would forget the promise of free
dom he made from the steps of the capital
of Tennessee. He further contended that
parties should be prgoressive," truly republi
can in idea, and democratic in epecultion.
A new dodge in smuggling whiskey over
the Canada border has been detected. Thirty-two
women, each with what seemed to
be a baby in her arms, were arrested on one
rail roaJ train, when it was found that the
uppo-ed babys were-cans containing whis
key. Whiskey in gun barrels or in burial
casea, is excusable, but whiskey in baby
clothes is entirely out of order.
The largest fly-wheel in the world has just
be :n cast at the Fort Pitt Works, in Pitts
burg. The molten iron was conducted from
the furnace across one of the streets of the
city, a distance of one hundred and sixty-
three feet, to the mould. The diameter of
the wheel is twenty-five feet, and the weight
forty-two tons.
A letter from SanJAntonio says that every
body in Texa3 who has sheep wishes to get
rid of them. Every wool-grower in the
country, without an exception, was ruined
by the immense mortality of their sheep in
the last few years. Fine Merinos are offer
ed at $3 per head.

York, on Thursday morning, Nov. 30.
A family named Walradt, consisting of a
father, mother and little girl, were found

A most frightful accident occurred on the
New Jersey Central Railroad, on December

From recent returns received at the Indi
an Bureau, the various tribes of the United
States are estimated to represent a collective
strength of 317,800 souls, of which number
5,400 are known to have served n the Union
service during the late war.
One of the best things of the season is
that of Bishop Simpson, who has declared
in favor of paying the rebel war debt when
it becomes due, viz: "After the indepen
dence of the Confederate States shall have
been secured."
Senator Cowan is spoken of as likely to go
into the Interior Department Washington
rumors connect his name with that position.
He certainly possesses the qualifications to
t ake a useful Cabinet officer.

National troops are being gradually with
drawn from Georgia.
Restoration of the Habeas Coaprs.
On December 1st, President Johnson is
sued a proclamation restoring the habeas
corpus in certain States. This is highly grat
ifying and important in itself; but the most
important part is, that he excepts all the so
caded seceeded States, to wit : Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alaba
ma, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texa., the District of Columbia and the
Territories of New Mexico and Arizona.
From the exceptions, it would seem that
the President does not deem the Lite rebel
ious States sufficiently restored, or "recon
structed," to be worthy of so great a boon
at this time.
Opening of Congress. The 39th Con
gress assembled on Monday, Dec 4th.

journed. New Counterfeits. An excellent imi
tation tf the new issue of the fifty-cent frac
tional currency has been received at the
Treasury Department It is considered to
be the best executed couterfeit yet put into
circulation. It can, however, be easily dis
tinguished" from the original by the coloring,
and the signature of Gen. Spinner, the "e"
having been omitted. The Secretary has
decided to alter the general appearance of
the present issue of fractional currency, in
order to make it uniform, and to better pro
tect it from conterfeiting. In future, all
new issues will, be of the greenback circulation.
Jamaica Pacified. The latest advices
from the West Indies, bring the gratifyiug
intelligence that the Jamaica insurrection
his entirely subsided, and that the ex-rebels
are in large numbers, taking the benefit of
the amnesty proclamation. It is estimated
that at least three thousand insurrectionists
have suffered death, one-third of which
number perished at the hands of the milita
ry in mortal combat, and the other portion
by the gallows. With the fall of Cape Hay
tien, which is reduced to ashes, the insur
rection in Hayti may be considered as final
ly terminated.

Alabama United States Senators.
Messrs. Parsons and Houston, just chos
en by the Legislature of Alabama to rep
resent that State in the United States Sen
ate, are probably rather better than the a:
erage crop under reconstruction tillage.
But, for the present, at least, they will not
take their seats, so its of no consequence.

A Magnificent and Liberal Ofeer.
The particular attentian of our readers is
called to a very liberal and praiseworthy
scheme adopted by Messrs. Siebeneck &
Collins, Publishers and proprietors of the
Ftttsburg Chronicle.' - These gentlemen
propose to present to any person forwarding
them the names of thirty yearly subscribers
to the Weekly Cluronicl?, (cash to accompa
ny the names) a splendid, new, No. 3 Whee
ler tt Wilson Sewing Machine, complete,
inch as are selling for $60 eah. The sub
scription price of the WeeJJy Chronicle is
only $2,00 per year, and, 'considering. the
fact that thirty-tico columns of choice fami
ly reading matter are represented in each
issue, the price is remarkably low. We re
gard the Weekly Clironicle as one of the
best family papers in the Country, and very
cheerfully commend it to our friends in this
section. A very little exertion on the Can
vasser, in almost any locality, will insure the
required number of annual subscribers to
secure a valuable Sewing Machine, and the
opportunity thus afforded to secure many
worthy women in reduced circumstances
this great aid, should not be overlooked.
Address, Siebeneck & Collins, Chronicle
Office, Pittsburg Pa.
The secret service division of the Treasu
ry Department, in the solicitor's office, from
the 1st to the 23d of November, arrested
twenty first-class counterfeiters, who have
been among the most extensive operators
in the country. With the counterfeiters
were secured a large amount of legal-tender
notes, together with a vast variety of plates
of different denominations, including one on
which counterfeit coupons of five hundred
dollar ten-forty bonds were printed. They
were put in circulation some months ago,
and were only detected by the rough man
ner of printing and finishing. The plate
was found in a wall in the aqueduct near
New York, tt is almost a perfect imitation
of the genuine, and was owned by Jerry
Cowden, who was arrested for counterfeit
ing the fifty-cent currency. Five-dollar le:
gal-tender notes have been detected, and
are known to have been made in Indianapo
lis, Indiana. This new counterfeit can be
known by its dark appearance and general
clumsy execution of the Goddess of Liberty
on the left end. The red seal of the Treas
ury is the the best one yet made by counter
feiters. Unmasked. A notorious Copperhead,
who has been swelling rqund here during
the war under the name of William Swee
ney, and who was hail-fellow-well-met with
all the distinguished opposition leaders in
this locality voting, arguing, and engineer
ing the Copperhead machine turns out to
be a secession draft deserter from Maryland
named Richard S. M'Nutt! Not only was
he permitted to vote here by the Copper
head officers of election, without having ob
tained a residence in the State, but he was
treated with distinguished consideration, and
was emphatically one of the biggest toads in
the dirty Copperhead puddle. He left this
last week.with flying colors, for his home in
Maryland. We sincerely hope the scamp
will yet meet with his just deserts. :
The journal of Captain Hall, the Artie
explorer for several days in December, 1864,
has been printed. Captain. Hall appears
to have examined and cross-examined the
Esquimaux, to find out the fate of Captain
Crozier and three others of Sir John Frank
lin's expedition.;' It seems that; these four
men had wandered . sauthward, had fights
with the Indians, and had promised and ev
idently expected to return to their Esqui
maux friends, but did not. The ' wrecked
ships of Franklin appear to have been visi
ted. The remains of a larce number of
their crew were seen, frozen and mutilated
and the valuables left in the ships were ap
propriated by certain families , of Esaui-
msux, and there, for the present, the story
breaks on.
The Democracy .and Stamps. Wayne
county lias some luminous spots in it. Not
long since a copperhead J ustice of the Peace
in that county was examining a case where
in piainun suea aeiendant on a contract.
Captain Taylor was counsel for the delense:
As the case progressed, the Captain inquir
ed if a Federal stamp, in pursuance of law,
had been affixed to the contract? The an
swer was in the negative. ; The Capt imme
diately claimed for the defendant, on the
ground that the absence of the stamp was fa
tal to the contract It finally was demon
strated by the plaintiff that the contract was
verbal and not icritten, and couldn't well be
stamned. This made no diffarnnf wuh
J ustice. He decided that all contracts of
whatever character, whether verbal or oth
erwise, must hft starring n irwlir-a f Kot- ....
lidity ; and the plaintiff was knocked out of
vouri. open is ooppernead justice and in
telligence in Wayne county!

The Democracy and Negroes.
The Democratic Candidate for the State
Senate, in New Bedford, Massachusetts, at
the late election, was a negro, "as black as
night's sable curtain." The Republicans
nominated a white man, and in order to
catch the vote of black men, the Democra
cy put up a neirro. But the colored voters
could not be- deluded.-and the Republican
white man was ele. ted. , The negro is like
the soldiers ; when -the Democracy nomi
nate soldiers, soldiers vote against the nom
inees, and when that party put up black
men, negroes, where tLev have votes, iuva
riably scorn the bait. Trusted by no class,
and repudiated by all true men, "the Demo
cratic leaders will soon have exhausted their
l.it trick and be utterly without the means
of keeping up their organization. Harris

President Johnson has sent a telepram to
Governor Holden, of North Carolina, in
which he thanks him for the faithful man
ner in which he has discharged his duties,
and assures him that he will be sustained
by the Government. lie further states that
the result of the recent election in North
Carolina has done much damage to the
State in regard to the restoration of its rela
tions with the Government ; and further,
that if the action of the spirit of the Legis
lature were in the same direction it would be
still more damaging, and might prove fatal.
He 'says that it is hoped the Legislature
will endeavor rather to heal what has al
ready been done than to increase the mis
chief. -
The jury in the case of Mary Ridey,
charged with the murder of Joseph Lides.at
