CLEARFIELD, PA.; FEB. 14, 1866.
Puplio Opinion. ,
We bear a good deal about puplfo opinion
as tbe guide of public functionaries. Tbe
theory is good if it has the right applica-
; turn. We hare just had a specimen of
Georgia public opinion in . the election of
ine two most conspicuous rebels in the state
to the United States Senate, over the beads
of undoubted Union men.. In Mississippi
there has been a similar manifestation of
, public opinion in the election of Humphreys
Governor, who to-day is jusc as much of a
rebel as when he headed his regiment in tbe
army. In Virginia there has been another
exhibition of public opinion in the filling by
the Legislature of all the offices with open-
mouthed rebels in the place of Union men.
: If permitted free expression, the District of
Columbia, by a vast majority of its present
; voting population, would to-day expel Fresi
dent J ohnson and recall Jeff. Davis to fill his
place, and that would be the true expression
of public opinion there, which the South
would joyfully ratify. There is no public
' opinion to be respected that is not from the
loyal stand-point, and for objects consistent
with the principles and ideas for which the
North sustained the Government and fought
the rebellion down. There is no statesman
ship or faithfulness in quoting any . other
. opinion, public or private. Public opinion
from the rebellious stand-point is something
to be frowned upon and sternly put down,
as was the rebellion itself. It will be always
safe to pursue the course opposite to that
which it indicates, and any other idea or
disposition is not a favorable sign of the
times. ' ' '
The Common School System.
Some time since Mr. Householder, intro
duced a proposition to the Pennsylvania
Legislature, contemplating certain reforms
in our common school system. The propo
sition embraces the equalization of unequal
. taxation, and urges the passage of a general
State revenue bill, which is designed to dis
tribute funds and' advantages with equal
hand in rich and poor counties. He pro
poses a tax upon the basis of two mills to
the dollar of valuation upon the real and
personal property of the State, and about
ten per centum of the gross receipts of the
Treasury. This sum, it is alleged, will at
any time,over and above expenses, supply
$1,600,000, and will allow 45 cents per
month to each scholar, or $2,25 per scholar
for a minimum term of five months' tuition,
by paying $24,80 per month to each teach
er. Mr. Householder's proposition meets
with considerable favor in many localities,
but whether it will achieve the desired end
the complete success of our common
schools in every part of the State remains
to be demonstrated.
Meeting of Wool Growers.
The first meeting of the "Wool Growers of
Pennsylvania, held in Pittsburg, on Thurs
day, February 8th, says the Commercial,
was in every respect a success, and an aus
picious beginning of what we trusts will
prove to be an Association of great and per-
manent value. The number in
attendance
exceeded the expectation of the projectors
of the movement. Among those in attend
ance were some of the best minds of our
State, and the discussions were of no ordi-
. nary interest. As to the necessity for ad-
At. 1 a. i i
iuiiuuu protection inrougn tne revenue
laws, there was but one mind, and on this
point the movement is a hopeful one. As
bearing on the question of wool growing in
its various phases, on the diffusion of in
telligence and union of effort, the meeting,
resulting as it did in the formation of a State
Society, was full of promise.
Ahe reciprocity negotiations are for the
present ended. The Canadian delegates
presented to the Committee of Ways and
Means a series
of propositions involving J
many changes in the financial system of the
.Provinces. Ihe committee in return offer
ed their terms. The difference between the
two is so wide that all efforts to reconcile
them have been abandoned. The ITorW
Washington special says: .The Canadian
officials, before they left, threw out some
hints that if the Reciprocity Treaty was al
lowed to expire without some action upon
the question of the fisheries, it might lead
- to serious difficulties under the treaty stipu
lations. If the Reciprocity Treaty expires.
we are limited to a very small margin in the
waters, and it our fishermen co havnnd that
uuut they will be forced back.

Geakt's Original - Regiment. The
Twenty-first Illinois infantry, the regiment
in command of which General Urant enter
ed upon the brilliant military career which
calumniated in his commission as Lieuten-
nant General of the American army and na-
vy, has just returned from New Orleans.
This veteran regiment now numbers four
hundred and ninety-two men and twenty-one
officers, among whom are only fifty men and
two officers . who started out with General
Grant as Colonel One of the originals is
the commanding officer of the regiment, Col
onel Jamison.
The fact that Northern men who go to
the South on business, or who go there with
a purpose of settling, are not protected, are
indeed assailed, maltreated and murdered,
is doing much to complicate the effort at re
construction. The large mass of Southern
men, and particularly those who were in re
bellion, have yet to learn that they compose
but an insignificant portion of the people of
the whole country, and that to promote the
interest of the nation at large, they will be
compelled to yield much of what they still
believe belongs to "the superior race."
The mystery which surrounded the rob
bery of the National Bank of Concord, Mas
sachusetts, on the 25th of December last,
has been partially revealed through the un
tiring efforts of the detectives. A few days
since two of theHrobbers were captured and
$196,000" of the money recovered, being
about two-thirds of the total amount stolen.
The money recovered has been paid over to
the President of the bank, s It is believed
that three persons were concerned in the
robbery. The third person is still at large,
but he will probably be arrested.
Election ix Newberx. The result of
the municipal election in Newbern, North
Carolina, which resulted in the election of
the out-and-out Union ticket by fifty-two
majority, is certainly a cheering sign. The
The contest was an exciting one, and a fair
and square stand-up fight, and a larger vote
was cast than ever before. The Union bovs
hoisted the American flag, and all day sent
out teams to bring in voters, and when the
voting was over they had an old-fashioned
rejoicing, in which Southern as well as
Northern Unionists participated.
The despot of Russia has given freedom
to the serfs or slaves of his empire. We are
told that "the freedmen have already open
ed upward of three hundred schools of their
own, and the Emperor is very anxious for
their progress in education as well as for
their instruction in the management of the
local affairs of their respective districts.
onder if the Emperor permits the late
owners of these freedmen to shoot, and man
gle, and rob them, burn down their school
houses and mob the teachers?
A writer in the Cincinnati Gazette makes
the following remarks, the fact of which will
be conceded by every living man: "We want
a National Bureau of Statistics, which, un
der a man of sense would have saved the
Government in the last war an hundred mil
lion ; but it is almost dangerous to ask for
one or make one, when we reflect how very
seldom it is that any office 4s filled by a man
appointed on the ground of qualifications.'

ed for horses, by these sales, are much larger j
than those paid by the Government for the
same animals, while the pnee received for
Btores comes up fully to that paid, so that
the Government is actually makine monev i
by these sales.
uen. Sherman savs that when h
the order providing for the occupancy by the
negroes ot the Sea Islands, he had
that the rebellion was so near at an end. and
intended the use of those islands onlv for
imbecile and infant negroes, who had follow-
ed his army, and for whom he was anxious
to provide at the time. He is now in favor
of restoring those islands to their former
owners.

Washington, Monday, Feb. 5, 1866.
In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Sumner, oc
cupied about three hours in what may well
be termed the great speech of his life. He
was about half through when the Senate ad
journed to go into executive session, and ne
will conclude to-morrow. . ;
In the House the day has been occupied
by diseussion of the Freedmen s Bill,Mesrs.
srs. Grinnell, McKee, Eliot and other? mak
ing speeches. The speech of Mr. McKee
was particularly severe upon his Kentucky
colleagues, and. the opponents of this bill
generally, whom he averred seemed to op-
Eose everything but disloyalty. Mr. McKee
as been a prisoner at Andersonville, and
wears no bogus loyalty.
General Sherman was in the gallery of the
Senate during the delivery of Mr. Sumner's
speech. He leaves to night for his post,
the convention for which he and other Gen
erals were summoned here having ended its
consideration of the various military meas
ures before Congress. .
Washington. Tuesday, Feb. 6, 1866.
In the Senate, petitions for universal suf
frage, and . from citizens ot Ohio lor a re
duction oT the tax on agricultural inmle-
ments, were presented and referred. Mr.
Sumner, from the Committee on Foreign
Relations, reported a bill to appoint a di-
ilomatic representative to tne uomimcan
tenublic. A resolution was adopted to in
quire into the expediency ot paying loyal
citizens of rebellious folates for quartermas
ter's stores taken by the army. The joint
resolution for the Amendment ot the Con
stitution was taken up. Mr. Doolittle of
fered a substitue basing representation up
on the number of electors qualified by State
laws to choose members of the popular
branch of the legislatures, and apportion
ing direct taxes according to their value of
real and personal property.
In the House, the Frecdmen's Bureau
bill was taken up. The amendment offered
by Mr. Smith to exempt Kentucky from
the operation of the act was rejected by 34
to J 31. Ihe substitute of Mr. btevens. re
taining most of the original bill but author
izing the President to set apart 3,000,000
acres ot land to be assigned in 40 -acre par
cels to freedmen and loyal refugees, and
confirming to the freedmen permanently
their possessions of the lands held under
Sherman s order, was rejected ; Yeas 37.
The bill reported from the Committee on
Freedmen's Affairs as a substitute for the
Senate bill, restricts the operation of the
law to those States within which the habeas
corpus was suspended Feb. 1 ; reduces sal
aries; defines the term "destitute" so as to
limit the number of those to whom relief
shall be extended ; provides for exchange of
lands by consent ot tne occupants ol the for
mer ; and directs the purchase of lands for
tne use or treedmen and the erection there
on of asylums and schools. In this form,
tne diu was passed by 1 6b to as.
Washington. Wednesday. Feb. 7. 1866.
In the Senate, Mr. Fessenden delivered a
speech in vindication of the Constitutional
Amendment reported by the Committee of
Fifteen. Like allot Mr. Fessenden' s utter
ances, the speech was full of keen points
and strong arguments. Mr. Fessenden
seized upon the weak point of Mr. Sum
ner s resolutions with great energy, paying,
However, a high compliment to the able
manner in which Mr. Sumner had stated
and defended the great principles of repub
lican government, iur. ressenden s speech
was listened to with creat attention. It
conveyed the impression that the Constitu

cept that the entry shall be for 80 acres in

lands is prohibited, and there is to be no
discrimination on the settlement of them
on account of race or color. Such a mea

that the land within their borders should be
settled and improved at an early day. It
concerns them not less that a means should

act unfriendly legislation in reference to the
negro, and to open a pathway for industry

We do not learn that there is any reason to
apprehend a veto from tbe President, and
we rejoice that the Senate and House have
been able so speedily, and by such large ma-
lonties. to concur upon a bill so vitally lm
portant to the welfare both of the colored
race and of the Southern States. It is
noticeable, indeed, that the bill obtained
more than a two-thirds vote in both Houses,

any money has been charged upon real es

lawful for any person claiming an interest
therein, when the same shall nave become

court having given the notice to the owner
of the real estate and other persons interes
ted, shall order the payment. It is also
made lawful for any owner of real estate so
charged to pay the amount charged into the

appoint an auditor to distribute the same.
Mr. 31ann, ot Potter, who probably offers
more bills of general interest to the Cem-

3Ir. Sharpless, of Chester, has presented
a bill to provide for tbe better management
of the common schools of this State. . This
is the same bill which was read in the Sen
ate in March, 1863, and isrecommended by
Mr. Burrowes, the superintendent of sol
diers' orphans. Some three or four bills
having reference to our public school sys
tem have been ottered this winter : and it is
to be hoped that great consideration will be
given by the members before they decide to
make changes in such an important matter.
The bill which has passed the House of
Representatives of this State for the relief
ot the sufferers from the rebel raid on Cham
bersburg, appropriates the sum of half a
million dollars from the State Treasury to
mat purpose, llie passage ot the bill
through the Senate is deemed probable.
When the principle shall thus have been
established, it is understood that other
towns that suffered, though not to the same
extent, from the same cause, will petition
