S. J. IOW, BDITOR AMD PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCH 7, 1866.
Our Public Schools.
We learn that - an effort is about to be
made for the passage of a law, allowing
such persons as see fit to withhold the a
mount of their school tax from the public
schools for a term of six years, and appro
priate the same to the erection of a new A
cademy building. Much as we desire to
see a new Academy built, yet we think it
imprudent, if not unjust, to divert the pub
lic school fund from its legitimate channel.
Under the law, it is the means of enabling
all classes to gain a liberal education, but
by taking so large a sum from that fund,
would it not-, in all probability, be the means
of closing up our public schools for six years,
and thus deprive many of the benefits of
educational instruction for that period ? We
hope better counsel !will prevail, and that
the proposition to divert the public school
fund will be abandoned at once.
An Academy is designed for the teaching
of the higher branches of education, and it
is only those who have the means that can
avail themselves of its benefits and advan
tages. Poor men can not send their sons
and daughters to such an institution, as the
price of tuition is generally beyond their a
bility. But, says one "we only propose to
take our own money for the purpose desig-.
nated." That is trye. But, by withdraw
ing a considerable portion of the funds, will
you not close up the public -schools, and
thereby not only keep many in ignorance,
but encourage idleness, mischief and crime ?
Would not our town, if such should be the
result of this movement, be filled with va
grants and vagabonds, whose corrupting in
fluence would contaminate all with whom
they came in contact? Would you not
have to keep up, at an increased cost, jails
and poor-houses, instead of public schools?
If such consequences are likely to ensue,
and we leave it to every intelligent man and
woman to say whether this is not to be ap
prehended, Christian charity and Christian
duty, as well as a proper and enlarged view
of economy, will certainly dictate what
course each one should pursue.
We have men of .means men of great
liberality and philanthropy in our midst,
and we think a little calm and candid re
flection, On this all-important subject, will
convince them of the utility of erecting a
new Academy building by other means than
by diverting a portion of the public school
fund to that purpose.
Cheers fob Jeff. Davis. The Phila
delphia Pros says that it any one questions
the following, it will be fortified by abun
dant testimony :
Astounding. At the annual Hupper of
the Pennsylvania Democratic Olub, held in
Unestnut street, below lwelhh, on Ihurs
day evening (2Jd of February.) Mr. Wm,
B. Read was called upon for a speech, but
stated that instead thereof he would propose
a sentiment, and accordingly gave: "To our
illustrious statesman, now incarcerated in
Fortress Monroe," This was followed by
proposition from a broker in Third street
for three cheers for Jefferson Davis. The
cheers were given by some present, although
Mr. Josiah liandali and others loudly pro
tested against the whole thing. There was
then a general row, which has resulted in
some members sending in their resignations.
Tub Great Railroad Case. Justice
John M. Read, on the 26th February,
made a decision in the matter popularly
. known as the suit brought by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company against the Atlan
tic and Great Western Bailroad Company.
The points of decision are: 1. That the
contract made Nov. 1, 1865, between the
Atlantie and Great Western Railroad Com
pany, is null and void. 2. That the Atlan
tic and Great Western Railroad Company
has no authority to contract to build the
railroad epecified in that contract ; nor has
the Western Central Decrees were order
ed to be drawn accordingly.
Terrific Explosion. A terrific explo-
won occurred aio.&j.u. Meilly's tur
race, near Middletown, on the evening of
tne zotn February, rive men were killed,
And six severely wounded. Eight boilers
were in the furnace ; one was raised through
the building, and carried 500 yards into the
i'enn a canal. Ihe others were scattered in
various directions some passing through
adjoining nouses. A portion of one was
hurled through a room in which -two women
were lying sick, but missed them. The c.
nal bridge was carried away, and many hous
es shattered. The whole town was shaken.
.The cause cf the explosion is not known. r
The Virgi nia Senate has passed a bill
providing that all testimony given by color
ed persons shall be oral ; and also another
oae confirming all acts passed daring the
war not inconsistent with the Constitution
aud laws of the United States.
General Grant had a purse of one hun
dred thousand dollars presented to him q;i
To-idiy, by his friend in New York,
A Tew Words of Counsel.
Andrew Johnson and the members of
his Cabinet have rendered the nation ex
cellent service in the late tremendous con
test. They have acted well their part also
pince its close, in preserving peace with
Europe, and yet maintaining intact the na
tional dignity and every important reclama
tory right. We fear, however, they err in
the matter of southern reconstruction, and
do not heed sufficiently the accumulating
evidence of continued disloyalty which-has
followed on a relaxation of our military rule.
It is painful to acknowledge so much, for
we, also, as well as our Republican Congress,
had fondly hoped for better things. In fact,
the auspicious era seemed already dawning
when Lee and Johnsson laid down ' their
arms, and our insurgents found repose, from
their dreadful dangers and incessant toils.
These fighting rebels seemed glad to escape
to their nomes under the generous amnesty
of Grant; and were overjoyed and apparent
ly grateful when they found that not even
any serious confiscation was threatened a
gainst them. But in proportion as north
ern clemency relaxed, one after another,
the sterner demands of justice or retribution,
we have found these perverse people becom
ing daily more insolent and intractable,
more violent and contumacious.
Well might our Republican Congress
pause, to look around, before they advanc
ed too hastily in the path of reconstruction.
There was lurking danger in every step, and
we fully realize their vast responsibility.
But yet there were dangers also from a dila-
mi - . m
tory policy, lne iixeeutive, wnose con
currence is so desirable, if not vital, took a
different view of the subject, and reposed
more confidence in southern loyalty than
did we and our friends in Congress. The
President hoped to conciliate rather than
repress, to restore the civil rule at the ear
liest moment, and stimulate loyalty by a
magnanimous withdrawal of bayonets. It is
possible that he errs most seriously. But
what then ? Do we not see that a majority
of bis Cabinet, and a portion of the lienub
lican party whose magnitude our readers
may estimate for themselves, concur in the
opinion that it is wise and prudent at least
to erve this doucv a trial f Liet us acree to
differ in the mode, whilst all Republicans
aim at the same general purpose.
Above all things, let us notauarrel with
President Johnson, and thus gladden the
heart of every disloyal man between the
Mexican and Canadian line. The Chief
Magistrate assures us most authoritatively
that he will never consort with traitors nor
their friends, and will co-operate with Con
gress in every measure essential to alle
giance and security. He will aid in protect
ing the freemen, and will only withdraw the
military force from districts where loyalty
and peacetulness are in the ascendant Per
haps he will aid us still further as regards
the basis of representation, and thus pre
vent the dangerous preponderance, or south
ern votes in our legislative halls, against
which our Congress is so wisely endeavoring
to guara.
At all events, the President tells us that.
it his plan should prove a failure, he is will
ing to change or modify it as time may dis-
l . .1 i . -r
ciose its actual results, iiet us repose on
this assurance at present, since it is very ev
ident that just now we cannot attain the
radical measures which our friends desire.
Most imprudent and hazardous would it be
to alienate Ironi our cause the earnest and
powerful man who stands at the head of
the government With his aid, we can yet
carry the ship or fetate securely into harbor,
Without it, we may roll on unpleasant bu
lows or among dangerous storms for years
to come. We should, in short, use as much
caution and coercion towards the rebellious
spirits who still vex the nation as eircum
stances will permit us to exercise, and as
much charitable forbearance and courtesy
towards all loyal men who differ from us as
will prevent their alienation. PhiVa U. S.

"What They Think of It.
We give below some extracts from the
speeches of Messrs. Fessenden and Sher
man ,1 .tl t ,T Zn tVA TTnn 1 C . -a Q A ,.4
in reference to the recent course of Presi-
.i qi, i i . i , . i ,
and Sherman have heretofore been classed
as "Radicals," these extracts will doubtless
be read with no small degree of interest :
REMARKS OE MB. FESSENDEN.
"Mr. Fessenden said : This resolution, as
it came trom the House, lnlormally provid
ed that a Joint Committee of Fifteen, nine
members oi the JJou.se and six of the
Senate, shall be appointed, who shall in
quire into the condition of the late so-called
Confederate States, and report whether
they or any of them are entitled to repre
sentation in either House ot Congress, with
leave to report at any time by bill or other
wise, and until such report shall have been
made and finally acted .upon no member
Ehall be admitted into either House from
any of the so-called Confederate States.
and all papers relating to the subject of rep
resentation ot the so-called Confederate
States, shall be refered to said Commute
without debate. When it came to be consid-
erea, it was not deemed very desirable at
that time to interfere with those questions
which might be settled be either House,
and the resolution was finally passed, so as
provide simply tor the appointment of the
Committee with power to report at any time
uy or uiuerwise. nai is tnat ( Oim-
piy appointing a committee, in this unex
ampled condition of the country, with a war

States had been engaged, after all the ex
penditure ot blood and t;reasure made, in

which occurred after actual hostilities had
ceased, the appointment of a joint commit

inquire into the condition of the so-called
Confederate States, and report whether Sena
tors and Representatives should be admit
ted from those States, ow, Sir, were we
doing anything more than was right ? Was
it not advisable? ' It was not a simple ques
tion, as we understood it, relating to the
credentials of Senators and memberi. It
was believed that at the very foundation of
the whole question oi the admission of mem
bers lay this : Whether the condition of
the States wa3 such as to render the admis
sion of members safe and advisable. Now,
Sir. 1 have had this extract from the Presi
tent's speech read simply to show precisely
what everybody must admit on this subject
as I have stated it I will read another
short paragraph from that speech. Says
the President : ,
'-I am free to say, as your Executive, that I am
not prepared to take any such position. I said
in the Senate, in the very inception of the Rebel
lion, that States had no right to-go out, and that
they had no power to go out. That question has
been settled, and I cannot tarn round now and
give the lie direct to all I profess to have done in
the last fire years I can do no such thine I
say that when they comply with the Constitution,
when they have given sufficient evidence of their
loyalty and that they can be trusted, when they
yield obedience to the law, 1 say extend to them
the right hand of fellowship, and let peace and
union be restored."
So say I.
So say all. "When they do that there will
be no objection to their representation.
Mr. Sumner There is no difference on
that question.
Mr. Fessenden And the President him
self instead of Faying anything different
irom us, says when ever they complied with
these conditions that they ought to be ad
mitted.
The Senator from Wisconsin undertakes.
to find fault with something that I think he
will find I did not say. Probably he antici
pates that I should say it. He says if I
said what he attributes to me, I misconstru
ed the President's language That brings
me to the consideration of the veto messasre.
I will say. Sir, with regard to that message.
that I have no very great attachment to the
bill which was thus voted. In some par
ticulars it did not meet mv approval. I
think some of the reasons given by the Presi
dent tor not approving it are such as will
commend themselves to public considera
tion. It is a bill upon the provisions of
which there might well be a very considera
ble difference of opinion. I yielded my ob
jections to it 'because I thought that the
power did exist, and that it was especially
necessary to exercise it, and the bill there
fore received my vote. Had the President
confined himsplf rn ntiWtmns rn tho Kill
criticisms of the bill itself, it is very po'ssi-
ble I might have waived my own feelings in
regard to the bill and sustained the veto. But,
Sir, on looking at the Veto Message, and
. 1. .. - t i r :
me reason given ior it, ana atter passing
through the consideration of the provisions
of the bill, he gave this reason which ren
dered it impossible for me as a member of
this Senate, with a due respect for myself
ana tne views ot congress, to vote otherwise
than to sustain the bill because a vote in the
negative was an indorsement of the opinions
1.? .1 . -r - -
expressed in tne veto. 1 so consider it.
At any rate, 1 did not mean to put myself
in tne position or indorsing or giving my
assent to tne closing parts ot this veto mes
sage. Now, Sir, what do I understand by
the closing parts cf this veto mosencro?
That, in the judgment of the Pr;?f
Uongrcss,as at piesentorganized,has no right
to pass any bill affecting the interests of
those so-called Confederate States while
they are not represented here. Does the
Senator from Wisconsin say that this senti-
ment is not aenniteiy expressed C
Mr. Doolittle Rerd it.
JVIr. Fessenden I certainly understand
that to be the purport of the remarks I re
ler to. ihe President says: "1 cannot
but add another very grave objection to the
bill. The Constitution imperatively declares
in connection with taxation, trateach State
shall have at Ieastone representative, and
fixes the number to which, in future times.
eacn estate shall be entitled.
X' 1 , . .
mow, oir, ne aoes not state in so many
words that we have no right to pass a bill.
The objection he makes goes to the founda
tion and asserts that no bill affecting the
interests of the Southern States ought to be
passed by Congress until Representatives
and senators trom those states are admit
ted to take part in our deliberations. It
follows, if that be a correct position, that no
law laying any restraint on those States re
cently in Rebellion which fought for four
years against the Government can be passed ;
tnat we can pass no law attecting them or
I restraining them or providing for any change
: nA,: '
we admit their Senators and Representatives
iu fcuv. wuubuuvii, Ul ttlj I. IHIIg CISC, uuui
to the noor of- Congress. I take that to be
the necessary inference from his language.
Ihe Jrcsident argues, or states in an argu
mentative way, that we have no right to
legislate with regard to them, but must
take them iust as they are, upon their say-
so, ana men, wnen tney are here, we may
proceed to legislation. Sir, I cannot give
my assent to any such proposition.
REMARKS OF MR. SHERMAN.
Mr. Sherman next referred to the speech
made by President Johnson on the 22i of
February. He thought that no man who
was a friend of the President would be un
willing to wipe.that out of his history. It was
impossible to conceive of a more humilia
ting spectacle than that of the President of
the United States addressing such a crowd
as called upon him on the 22d ot February.
He regretted especially the paragraphs in
the speech made by the President on that
day referring by name to Messrs. Stevens
and Sumner. . But it should be remember
ed that President Johnson was a very com-
pative man, and that lie had alwavs been
noted for his force in repelling assaults made
upon him. Mr. bumner had recently ac
cused him of whitewashing, and while
no affront was intended, this language was
evidently construed into an affront It
could not be forgotten that Mr. Stevens tad tbe infliction of the punishment deelar
hA a ,i. ti I ..i -. ' . ...
had proclaimed Andrew Johnson an "alien
enemy in the Baltimore Convention, and
that he recently said in the House that, for
certain Janeruasre used by him (the Presi
dent,) "a British king would have lost his
head 200 years ago." These facts must be
taken into consideration in making up a
judgment upon this untortunate speech.
-lue most injudicious paragrapn in it, was
that which charged certain gentlemen with
consnirine - at hu assassination, lnis was
simply ridiculous, and he believed there
was not a man in the country who thought
dinerentlv. btill. there was much in the
sneech worthv of consideration, tiromntivl
i T :j i : .
the Southern States speedily restored to
as it waa uv luc x resiutJiiL a aoueiv en ra
their constitutional relations. He (Sher-
man) did not approve of the veto of the
Freedmen s Jiureau bill. He voted for the
bill and against the veto, but still he recog
nized tbe veto as no extraordinary or unau- j
thorized act of the President, and it was
nothing more than his constntional right
II'lm i mi .
v nue ne incrmani waa anxious to see a i
mode adopted by which loyal men from the f
SOUln lUlglll IHJ suiuiucu hi yuiigit.-w,
never would consent to the admission of any
man who had taken part in the Rebellion,
and he never would vote for the repeal of the
test oath. He believed that the. people of
the country demanded a change in the basis
of representation, so as to keep the Rebel
States from coming back here with increas
ed representation, as they would do under
the freedom of the blacks according to the
present basis. He believed that the best
and fairest basis of representation would be
voters and not population, although he
should probably vote for the proposition
now pending in the Senate which recognized
population as the basis. He did not believe
that Mr. Sumner's proposition to declare
suffrage by an act of Congress was practica
ble. Ms, Sherman said: I have thus,
Mr. President, endeavored to show that to
this hour no act has been done by the Presi
tent inconsistent with his obligation to the
great Union party that elected him. Dif
ferences have arisen, but they have arisen
upon new questions not within the contem
plation of the Union party, or the Union
people when the President was nominated.
I have also shown that he has acted in pur
supnee of a policy adopted by Mr. Lincoln
and approved by the people, and that no
revent has jet transpired that will preclude
him from a hearty co-operation with the
great mass of the Union party in securing to
the country the objects for which we con
ducted successfully a great war.
Now I am aware of no calamity more dis
graceful than for us, by our divisions, to
surrender to men, who were enemies to
their country in time of war, any or all the
powers ot this Government. He who con
tributes in any way to this result deserves
the execrations of his countrymen. This
inav be done bv thrusting upon the Presi
dent new issues, in which the well-known
nrincinles of his life do not agree with the
judgment of his political associates. It
may be done by inviting controversies of a
personal character. It may be done by the
President turning his back upon those who
trusted him with high powers, and thus
linking his name with one of the most dis
graceful in American history that of John
Tvler. I feel an
abiding confidence that
Andrew Johnson will not. can not do this.
We know that the President can not, will
not, and never agreed to unite with us upon
the issues of universal suffrage and dead
States. No such dogmas were couttenipla-
ted when, for his heroic services in the
cause of the Union, we placed him side by
side with' Mr. Lincoln as our standard-bearer.
Whv dwell upon them ? Why not
complete the work so gloriously begun , by
our soldiers,by securing union and liberty to
all men without distinction ot color, leaving
to the States, as betore, the ouestion of
suffrage? The cause of God, the maledic
tions of millions of our people, and the
tears and blood of new-made freemen will,
in my judgment, rest upon those who now,
for any cause, destroy the unity ot the party
that has led us through the wilderness of
war to ieace and repose. We must now
look to our public credit We have duties
to perform to the business interests of the
country, in which we need the assistance of
the President We have every motive for
harmony with him and with each other,
and tor a generous, manly trust in his pa
triotism.
God knows that I do not urge harmony
and consolidation from personal motives.
The people of my native State have trusted
me with a position here extending four years
beyond the termination ot the 1 residential
office of the present incum'ient. He can
grant me no favors. If I believed for a mo
ment that he would seek an alliance with
those who, py either arms or counsel, or
even by apathy, were against this country
in the recent war, and would turn over to
them the high powers intrusted to him by
the Union party, then bir, he is dishonest
and would receive no assistance from me.
But I will not force him into this attitude.
If he shall not prove false to the declara
tions mad 3 by him in his Veto Message
that his strongest desire was to secure to
the freedmen the full enjoyment of their
freedom and property," then I will not
quarrel with him as to the means used ; and
while, he tell us in this same Message, he
I only asKS Ior states to oe represented which
a, in n attnAa f u,it ..i lr,n.
are in an attitude ot loyalty and harmony.
and in the persons of Representatives whose
loyalty cannot be questioned under any Con
stitutional or legal test, surely we ought not
to separate from Jmn until at least we pre
scribe a test of their loyalty upon which we
are willing to staud. We have not done it
yet I will not try him by new creeds will
not uenouce him tor hasty words uttered in
repelling personal anronts. 1 see him yet,
surrounded by the Cabinet of Abraham
Lincoln, pursuing his policy. No word
from me shall drive him into political fellow
ship with those who, when he was one of
the moral heroes of the war, denounced
him, spat upon him, aud despitefully used
bun.
