CLEARFIELD, PA., JAN. 10, 1806.
THE IHBWS.
There has just been issued from the Pub
lic Printing Office in Washington the mes
sage ot the President in response to a reso
lution of the Senate asking for information
on the subject of a decree of the Emperor
Maximilian of Oct. 3, according to which
the captured soldiers of the Liberal army
were to be shot like ''bandits." The cor
respondence consists of letters from Mr. Ro
mero, bringing the decree and'iu'execution
to the knowledge of the Government at
Washington ; from Mr. " Seward to Mr.
Bigelow, instructing him to call the atten
tion of the French Government to the de
cree, and Mr. Bigelow, stating that M.
Drouyn de Lhuys declines any responsibili
. ty of the French Government for the doings
of Maximilian. The declaration of the
French Minister is important, as it intimates
more distinctly than any previous act of his
Government the intention not to risk, on
account of Maximilian, a war with the
United States. He advises the Govern
ment of the United States, whenever any of
its rights are violated in Mexico, to use the
same remedies for their vindication as
France has assumed the right tt do.
By way of Aspinwall we have further
particulars of the difficulty between Spain
and Chilli. The Chillian man-of war Es
meralda captured off Papuda on November
28th, the Spanish gunboat Covadonga, af
ter an engagement of half an hour's dura
tion. Six officers and one hundred and ten
men were taken prisoners. The Covadonga
had two men killed and fourteen wounded.
No person on the Esmeralda was injured.
The Spanish admiral, though only forty
miles distant, did not bear of his loss until
three days afterwards. Important corres
pondence belonging to him was found on
the prize. A launch to the Spanish gun
boat Resolution had also been captured. It
contained one gun and forty men.
A bill has been introduced in Congress
providing for a regular succession to the
Presidency in cases where vacancies may oc
cur beyond those now provided for by the
law. Under this bill it is intended that the
President of the Senate shall succeed to the
Presidency next after the Vice President ;
next the Speaker of the House then the
Chief-Justice of the Supreme Court, and af
ter him the Assosiate Justices in the order
of their seniority of commission. The sad
events of the last year prove that some pre
cautions of this kind should be immediately
established, and this bill appears to meet
. the requirements of the case.
The Comptroller of currency recommends
that, for prudential considerations, Con
grcss should make "an adjustment of the
tariff" "as to discourage inordinate impor
tations," and he suggests that this can be
done "by increasing the rate of duties just
. in proportion as the price of goods and tor
eign exchange may recede." A measure of
this kind it certainly desirable to chepk the
increasing tendency to flood our markets
with foreign goods, and to fill the coffers of
European manufacturers with the precious
metals mined in our country.
In North Carolina, a few days since, a ne
gro was found guilty of a petty offence, for
which he could be fined a couple of dollars
ia our city, and under a State law was sold
into slavery for a term of years. Thus, prac
tically, the amendment to the Constitution
is nullified by a State law. This occurrence
only serves to demonstrate the necessity for
such legislation by Congress as will effectu
ally carry out the anti-slavery amedment.
The Meadow Valley mines, situated in
Southern Utah, 400 miles south of Salt Lake
city, are reported as unusually rich, essaying
from $200 to $950 to the ton, with no quartz.
The ore is nothing but pure silver and lead.
All there is to do to get the silver is to melt
out the lead, which can be done over a com
mon wood fire. There ia usually from 25 to
50 per cent of lead.
. ' A bill is to be introduced in Congress giv
ing heirs of soldiers who died in rebel pris
ons commutation of rations at the rate of 25
cents per day for the full imprisonment.
During the war, over $3,000,000 accumula
ted from the sale of rations issued to, and
not consumed by, rebel prsoners more than
half of which was expendend for delicacies of
sick rebels. '
The Germans of Texas intend to go large
ly into cotton next season, and will produce
100,000 bales. - These people have proved
their loyalty throughout the war, for out of
"2,200 who were dragged into the Confeder
ate service, 1,700 deserted at the first oppor
tunity, and enlisted under our flag for the
war.
Enoch Lewis has resigned his position as
General Superintendent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and Edward H, Williams has been
appointedn his place. -
State Treasurer's Report.
The report of the State Treasurer exhib
its our State Finances as in an exceedingly
healthy condition. First, the report shows
that at the termination of the current fiscal
3 ear, the State is financially in a better con
dition by $2,560,173 72, than it was on the
3flth day of November, I860. During the
same period the public debt was reduced
$492,938 66, with an increase of assets dur
ing the same period of $2,067,235 . 06.
While these facts demonstrate the great re
sources at the command of the Treasury,
they also establish the caution and the suc
cess with which the State finances are man
aged. The receipts of 1S65 exceed those of 1864,
$1,486,676 65, an increase wbieh was .had
without resorting to the taxation which
reaches end burdens labor. The only
sources from which there has been a de
crease of receipts, are the taxes on patent
ing lands, and those on banks. The de
crease in bank tax is explained by the fijet
that so many of our moneyed institutions
are bauking under the laws of the United
States. To make up for the decrease of
taxation on banks, the Treasurer recom
mends a tax on the capital stock of Nation
al Banks. This suggestion is made iu con
formity with an opinion of the Attorney
General, arguing in favor of the Constitution
ality and equity of such taxation.
An important feature of the Treasurer's
report, is that portion of it which asks for a
revision of the tonnage tax laws. There is
no doubt that the laws at present in force
on this subject are defective. This the
State Treasurer demonstrates by showing
that one railroad largely in excess of receipts
over another, pays less tonnage tax than the
road whose gross receipts are the least.
The Treasurer recommends that instead of
the tax being imposed on tonnage, it should
be levied on the gross receipts, n this
manner thousands of dollars would be annu
ally secured to the State, while the natural
desire of each road to preserve the par value
of their stock, would prevent all false re
turns of receipts.
The most important portion of the report
is that which shows the possibility and the
practicability of dispensing with the State
tax on real estate. He proposes to reach
this exemption by levying a tax of one per
ceut. on th capital stock of all banks, with
proper diligence in collecting our taxes on
corporations, licenses, &c No greater
blessing could befall the poor man than a
reduction of the tax on real estate. In the
country, the cities and the town3, the poor
are much oppressed by high rents, from
which they can only be relieved by a reduc
tion of the tax on real estate.
Mr. Kemble's report is one of the clear
est and most satisfactory papers which
has been issued from the Treasury Depart
ment for many years. Its statementsof the
financial condition of the government ex
hibit most fully the ability with which the
finances were managed, so that the more
the people congratulate themselves on the
prosperity by which they are surrounded in
this particular, the more emphatic becomes
their acknowledgment of the ability and pru
dence of the State Treasurer.
Amenities of Eeconstrncted Journalism.
The Richmond Examiner, in an article
alluding to Thaddeus Stevens and Secretary
Seward, revels in all the vituperative rhetor
ic for which it was formerly famous. It
speaks of the ' 'low condition to which the
legislative department of this country ias
fallen-," when that "bad vulgar old man,
(Mr. Stevens) is the leader of the House of
Representatives;" and it only "notices"
"his vile slang," "because it indicates the
views and purposes of the disreimtable
people who constitute the rulling majority
in the national House of Representatives."
It says Mr. Seward was once the "radical
leader in the tricked agitation of the social
organization of the South, but this agitation
has now gone beyond his reach," and he is
"discarded for Stevens, the new leader, al
Stevens will be discarded for some yet more
ultra supporter of the theories" of equas
rights: "the Gironde must yield to Danton
and Danton will give way to Robespierre
and Marat." It characterizes "the majori
ty in Congress as "vile demagogues," its
policy as "ferocious, brutal and fiendish,"
"starting off just as this political ruffian
(Mr. Stevens) requires ;" and it advises its
Southern readers to "put no man in posi
tion who will look at Stevens and his gang
any other way than as moral outlaws and as
enemies of the human race."
We are frequently told that the South is
ready and -anxious to take its place in the
Union, and behave itself ; but if . we can
jugde from the temper of many of its lead
ing journals, we must conclude that it is
yet animated with the bitterest hate towards
every man who has contributed to the aboli
tion of slavery, or who has not already for
gotten that there has been a rebellion
against the government Such men as write
for the Examiner need certainly considera
ble time yet for their rebellious dispositions
to cool, before they are permitted to make
a new attempt to declare a Congress, which
does not agree with their notions, a gang of
moral outlaws and public enemies.

Meeting of the Legislature.
Both branches of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature met in their respective halls on
Tuesday, January 2d. The Senate was or
ganized by electing Hon. David Fleming, of
Dauphin county. Speaker; Geo. . Ham
mersly, Clerk; Lucius Rogers, Assistant
Clerk; Eli K. nains, John T. Johnson,
Henry W. Graty, James O. Graham and
Chancey Rogers, Transcribing clerks, J. G.
Mai tin, Sergeant-at-Arms ; Joseph Riblet,
Dooi -keeper; Wm. Duffie. Messenger; and
J. Styers, Librarian. The Speaker upon tak
ing the chair made a short address thank
ing the Senators for the honor, conferred
on him, in electing him to preside over
their deliberations, and asked their indul
gence, and assistance in the discharge of the
duties devolving upon him ; and riverted to
the happy termination of our national strug
gle with treason,asan event of universal con
gratulation, for now the noise of battle is
hushed, and the tread of martial hosts mus
tering for the field ot strife is heard no
more, and peace reigns throughout our
land. He also reverted to the death of
President Lincoln, as a sad event for the
nation, and pronounced him as the great
and good, for whom the nation mourned,
and dropped a tear to his memory.
The House was organized by electing
Hon. James R. Kelly, of Washington coun
ty. Speaker ; A. W. Benedict, Clerk, and
W. II. Dennison, Assistant clerk. Mr.
Kelly has been a member of the House for
two sessions previous, and is spoken of as a
man eminently qualified for the honorable
position to which he was elected possess
ing the ability and other ess;ntial qualities
to make him a good presiding officer.
On Wednesday, the 3d, the Secretary ot
the Commonwealth presented the following
message from Gov. Curtin :
To the Senate and House of Reprerentatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsihania.
Gentlemen : The toils and anxieties of
the last four years have from time to time
brought on me severe attacks of disease.
From the most severe of these I am now
slowly struggling towards recovery. I find
that to give my constitution an opportu
nity to continue this struggle, it is absolute
ly necessary that I should, without dejay,
make a short sea voyage, and sojourn in a
milder climate. Under the pressure of this
necessity I go to the Island of Cuba. It is
mj hopo-and intention to return in good
season to welcome you on your arrival at
the seat of government. But, it' it should
be found indispensable that my visit to Cu
ba should be prolonged to the early part of
rebruary, this message will serve to lay be
fore the cause of my absence at the com
mencement of your session. In this case
I feel sure that you will adopt such a course
as shall consist with your wisdom, and with
the affi ctionite consideration which I have
always received at your hands.
It would, however; not become me to for
get that the issues of life are in the hands
of the One above all, and that many have
found death waiting for them on the for
eign shore to which they had been sent in
search f health Should such be my fate,
I shall draw my last breath with a sense of
my deepest gratitude to the people of the
Commonwealth and their Representatives
for the cheerful, manly, unfailing support
which they have given during the last four
years to the great cause of t he right, and to
me in my efforts to maintain it, and with a
prayer of thankfulness to Almighty God,
that He strengthened me to the end of the
cruel rebellion, and thought me worthy to
be permitted to continue to that time as
the Chief Magistrate of the people of Penn
sylvania. To have my name ' connected in
that relation with such a people during such
a time, ought to be enough to fill the high
est measure of any man's anibition.-

IIarrisbcro, Nov. 27, 1865. J
Spoiled wheat, from different parts of the
country, is being pushed into the market,
and of course sold at exorbitant prices as a
superior article. It appears that the har
vests in Indiana and Illinois were very unfa
vorable. The grain gathered in those States
was stored at Chicago in large quatitiss,but
its damaged and unhealthy condition render
ed it impossible to be sold in that market.
Holders have threfore determined to ship
their wothless trash east, where it is already
arriving in large quantities, and where it will
be of course put upon the market and sold
There should be a stringent law toreach these
rascals. At no time in the history of the coun
try was it more necessary for the people to
be supplied with healthy food, than at pres
ent. With the danger of a devastating epi
demic hovering on our shores, with a fear
ful cattle desease threatening the country,
the very idea that the market should be thus
filled with unhealthy wheat, affords anything
but a cheering sanitary prospect for the
spring. .
Jones, of the Jersey Shore Vidette,
bought a ticket for Williamsport the other
day, but as the cars on the Phil. & Erie
Railroad laid over at Newberry, he had to
walk the balance of the distance. In con
sequence of this, Jones is irate and threat
ens to sue the company if the "can find an
honest lawyer" to take charge of his case.
We advise Jones to keep hands off, for if
half of what is said is true of the P. & E.
road, anybody that has anything to do with
it runs a lively chance of getting into a
"smash-up!"

the duty of the United States to rrotpsr
against the usurpation of political control of
any portion, of this continent, by European
princess or Powers, and especially against i
the .Mexican Invasion.
Congressional Proceedings.
Congress resumed its session on Friday.
In the Senate, Mr. Sumner presented pe
titions from the colored citizens of Alaba
ma and of Mississippi, asking Congress to
secure t heir freedom and the right of suf
frage ; and from the colored citizens of Col
orado, protesting against the recognition of
that State by Congress on account of its un
just Constitution. Sir. Chandler presen

against the renewal of the Reciprocity Trea
ty, and3'r. Sumner the petition of the
owners of a ship destroyed by the Alabama
for indemnity. Mr. Morgan offered the

in favor of paving President Lincoln's sala
ry in full to his widow. Mr. Sumner in
troduced a- joint resolution for a constitu
tional amendment to guarantee the Nation
al, and prohibit the payment of the Rebel,
debt, and a bill for the revision of the Uni
ted States statutes. Mr. illiams offered
a joint resolution for a constitutional amend

slaves. Bills were introduced by Mr. Foot
to create the office of Naval Judge Advocate-General
and Naval Solicitor, and by
Mr. Trumbull to enlarge the power of Freed
inen's Bureau, and to guarantee the free
dom of citizens of the Rebel States. Mr.
Sumner offered a resolution asking the Pres
ident for information as to the appointment
and pay of the Provisional Governors, and
whether they took the oath of allegiance ;
which was adopted, and the Senate adjourn
ed till next Monday. In the House, the
papers in the Harris case were sent in by
the Secretary of War. Resolutions were
adopted asking the President for informa
tion as to the condition of the Regular and
Volunteer forces, and requesting him to
communicate the reports of Gens. Grant,
Howard, and Schurz, with all documents
on the same subject. An inquiry was or
dered as to the irregular muster out of cer
tain regiments, and concerning "the sup
pression of the abominable system of polyg
amy which is now rampant in the Territory
of Utah." Bills were introduced touching
pensions in the naval service, to regulate
trade with the Indians, aud to improve the
navigation'of Rock River and the Mississip
pi. The Conimitteeof Military Affairs were

of allowing drawbacks on imported materi
als used in shipbuildirg, and the Commit
tee on Commerce the expediency of repeal
ing and amending the laws concerning the

into Committee of the Whole, and Mr
Spalding of Ohio discussed the question of
reconstruction. Adjourned till Monday. -
Eeport of the Superintendent of Common
Schools.
From the report of the Superintendent of
Common Schools, for 1SG5, we learn that the
whole number of schools in the State of
Pennsylvania is 12.48. Whole number of
pupils who have attended the public schools
during the year, 629,5 S7. Average atten
dance per month, 397,701. Per centum ot
attendance upon the whole number, 628
Average length of school term, 5 months
and 14 days. Average cost per month, in
eluding all expenses, 68 cents. Whole num
her of teachers, 14.2S6. Average salaries of
male teachers per month, $31 82; of female,
$2421. Total cost of tuition, $1,990,777 83.
Total expenditures of the system for tuition,
houses and fuel, 2,775,4S4 06, which is an
increase from 1864 of $384,5S4 06. This is
exclusive of the city and .county of Philadel
phia. Including Philadelphia,the total cost
of the system for the school year ending on
the first Monday of June, 1865, was $3,614,
23S55, and ,395,882 76 more than it was
in 1864. -
A Mormon's Opixox. A Salt Lake
Mormon was in Chicago recently to get hi3
fifth wife. He improved the occasion to ex
press himself through the newspapers.
Sneakine of himself and his . sect ha savs ;
'We have no wish to be admitted into your
Union nor do we wish at one tell swoop
to be divorced from our wives. Let us Mor
mons alone, and devote your moral lectures
to a community where a man or woman can
marry and be divorced three times within
a? many years." Considering that nearly
three hundred divorces were granted in
Chicago alone, during the past year, this is
a point with a sting in it.
Chicago Lumber Trade. Tie receipts

In a notice of a recent concert there, the
Press eays of him. "The new basso we vote

deepest tones gave a tremor to the seat we

If such is the effect of his singing on every
occasion, we beseech the SL Paul
