CLEARFIELD, PA., MAY 2, 1866.
UNION REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
fob governor:
Maj. Gen; JOHN W. GEABY, of Comb. Co.
Beport of the Eeconstruction. Committee.
The report agreed upon by the Recon
Struction Committee, ia substantially the
plan submitted by the Republican members
of the New York Delegation. It is un
derstood to have been in existence onie
' time, and but for waiting for the committee
to act, it would have been before Congress
weeks ago. The scheme provides for equal
rights to all citizens, in all the States! Ne
gro suffrage is thrown overboard, the ques
tion of suffrage being left to the States. It
is provided that representation shall te
based on the whole population, but when
male persons of the age of twenty-one years
are excluded from the elective franchise,
representation shall be correspondingly re
duced. No part of the rebel debt or ex
penses shall ever be paid, and voluntary
participants in the rebellion are to be dis
franchised uutil 1S70, and leading rebels de
barred from holding 'office. So much as re
lates, to equal rights, representation, the
rebel debt and the participants in the rebel-
. lion, is embraced in an amendment to the
Constitution, the remainder of the scheme
u in two distinct bills. Allnouen nothing is
tsaid as to admitting representatives, we pre
sume it is provided in the bill on that sub
ject that members are not to he admitted
until the amendment has been duly ratified.
The Legal Ratitof Interest. We see
. that some of our cotemporarics are under
the impression that an act was passed at the
list session of the Legislature, changing the
legal rate of interest from 6 to 7 per cent.
Journalists are led into this misapprehen
sion by the tact that a bill providing for
this change had been before the House,
which was defeated, but on a reconsideration
was carried. When the measure came be
fore the Senate, it failed. The opposition
to it was decided from all parts of the State.
A proposition was made at the same time
to permit banks to charge 7 per cent inter
est on their discounts. This met the same
fate, and its rejection was prompt and de
cided. 1'hc legal rate of interest, therefore
remains unchanged, and it would be well to
let the fact be generally understood. Tele
graph. Congressional Caucus. The Union
Congressional Delegation of New York,
held a caucus on Thursday night, April
20th, which was attended by all the mem
bers except two Or three. There was gener
ally unanimity in the views expressed as to
the course that should be pursued by Con
gress, an 1 as to tho work that should be
donS iu order to preserve the Republican
party and insure its success in the future.
The members were decided in the opinion
that to this end Congress must give them
some affirmative policy, upon which the
party can go to the people, and that univer
sal suffrage must bj ignored by Congress
and"left for tha States to determine. The
meeting was unanimous hi f.ivor of the ad
mission of the Tennessea delegation in
Congress.
Repeal of the State Tax. Keep it be
fore the people, that during the last few
years the debt of our State has been redu
ced by payments, so as to warrant the re
peal of the tax on Ileal Estate, thus reliev
ing the farmer and property-holder of a
burthen created by Democratic mismanage
ment and dishonesty. This has been done
under the judicious administration of the
Republicans ; at a time too when the State
treasury was called upon to furnish millions
of dollars extra to defray the expenses of
keeping from our borders hordes of demo
cratic traitors iu arms against their country.
. The Governorship. The New York
Herald urges the withdrawal of Heister
Clyuier, and the selection of some other
candidate for Governor, bv the D'Tnnpra
in Pennsylvania. The anxiety which the
Herald exhibits on the Gubernatorial ques
tion in this State, plainly indicates that the
Democracy outside of Pennsylvania consid
er the defeat of Clymer as certain, and the
election of Gen. Geary as a fixed fast, by
the loyal masses of this State. The people
will remember these facts, and vote accord
ingly- '. ; - -
The IleraLTs special says : It is report
ed on eood authority that the Spanish Min-
J'ster has proposed to accept a mediation
rom the United States in the Spanish and
Chilian complication, referring the claims
of Spain to our Government, arid abiding
by the decision.
A bill for the admission of Colorado,
passed the Senate on April 25th, by a vote
c-f 19 to 13. The House will concur.
Clymer EailroadB.
The following letter was addressed by Mr.
Clyuier to a committee of citizens appoint-
ed by a meeting held in Sharon, Mercer ing a State Convention at Pittsburg, during
county, a, short time since : J the coming summer, wilh the view of pi a-
' . Reading, April 12th, 1S66. j cing in nomination a candidate for Govern
Gentlemen : I have just received your , or Co Kichard Coulter is named iu eon-
letter ot the bin lust., asking tr.e question ;
"whether I am or am not in favor ot making I
a general railroad law by the Legislature of
this Commonwealth, somewh .t similar to:
that existing in tha neighboring fctate ot
Ohio?"
If after the repeated and persistent ef
forts made by me during a long service in
the Senate, to secure the passage of a gen
eral railroad law, thy position on that .ques
tion is not understood, I tear that nothing
I may now say wjll more fully demonstrate it.
I have been,5 a in- now, and will continue
to be in favor of a general, 'free, railroad
system for this State, similar to that of the
States of Ohio and New York ; believing
that capital should ever be permitted, under
proper restraints tor the protection of pri
vate property and the rights of individuals,
to develope- any and every section of this
State without let or hindrance.
Until the people of this Commonwealth
establish this system, many of "the richest
and fairest portions thereof, will, for half a
century to come, bedeprivedof those means
ot development and inter communication to
which at all .times they are entitled, and
ithout which their stores of iron, of coal,
of lumber, and of oil, will be useless and
unprofitable, not alone to their owners, but
as well also to the whole people who are un
questionably most deeply interested in their
prompt development and production.
Very respectfully and truly yours, .
.IlEISTKlt CLYJIEO.
A W Law. The late legislature pass
ed the following law relative to disease
in stock, which we trust every section of the
State will rigidly enforce :
"That it shall not be lawful for any per
son who may own any cattle or sheep, af
fected by the disease known as the Pleuro
pneumonia or orther contagious or infec
tious disease to sell or otherwise dispo.se of
any cattle, either alive or slaughtered,
from the premises where such disease is
known to exist, nor for a period of two
months after such disease shall have disap
peared from the premises. That no cattle
or sheep shall be allowed to run at large in
any townsip or borough where contagious
disease prevails, and the constables of such
townships are hereby authorized and re
quired to take up and coAtiue any cattle so
found running at large until called for and
until all eost3 are paid; and in towuships
where there are no constables, it shall be
the duty of township clerks to perform this
service ; and the said officers shall be en
titled to receive one dollar for each head of
cattle so taken up, and any officer who shall
refuse to perform the duties .of this act,
shall be reliable to a fine of $1000. Any
person offending against the troviions of
the first section ot this act shall be guilty ol
a misdemeanor, and upon conviction, be
sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding $."00
dr .irhdergo an imprisonment not exceeding
six mouths;
Change in the Manner of Voting.
The following bill regulating" the manner of
voting at rll elections, has passed both
houses of the Legislature, and is now a .law,
by the Governor s approval :
"That the qualified voters of the severa
counties ol the Commonwealth, at all gen
era!, township, borough and special elee
tions, and hereby hereafter authorized and
required to vote by tickets written or print
ed orpartlv printed and partly written, aev
eraliy classified as follows : One ticket shal
embrace the names of all Judges of Courts
voted fir, and to be labeled outside "Judi
ciary ;" one ticket shall embrace the nam. s
of State officers voted for, and be labeled
"State;" one ticket shall embrace the name
of all county officers voted for, including
the office ot Senator and mem her ot Con-
gre.-s. if voted for, and be labeled " County'
"one ticket shall embrace the names of al
township officers voted fir, and be labelec
"township ;" one ticket shall embrace the
names of all borough officers voted for, and
bi labeled Borough ; and each class shal
be deposited in separate ballot-boxes."
Showing Their Hand. The Reading
Gazette, the home organ of Mr. Clj'mcr, in
sists that President Johnson must inaugu
rate another rebellion in order to get rebels
into power. It is fair to presume that it re
fleets Mr. Clymer's sentiments when it says:
"There are hundreds of thou ands of eood
men in the Northern States who are hone
ful that President Johnson will declare such
legislation revolutionary and so perniciou:
as to warrant him in completely ienorinarit,
Not only is this their hope, but it is their
prayer, and they irtfl sustain him in such a
course icith their blood and lives, if need be. ' '
. President Johnson, we opine, will do no
such thing as the Gazette hopes for. Not
onk has he signed nearly half a hundred
Actsv of the present Congress, but he has
made the Civil Rights Bill itself the basis
of orders just issued by his executive de-
pariments tuus rerusing to ignore it, as
evidently was the wish and hope of the Cly
mer party.
At Their Old Tricks Misrepresenta
tion seems to be the game adopted by the
Copperhead papers and leaders, for the
coming Gubernatorial campaign. For sev
eral weeks pat, they have been circulating
that several prominent Republicans had de
clared against Gen. Geary among them
Gov. Curtin. The Bellefoute Press of April
27th, upon the authority of Gov. Curtin,
who 13 on a visit to that place, says :
"lie (Gov. Curtin) authorizes us to con
tradict expressly the statement made iD last
week's Watchman, that he is opposed to
Gen. Geary. On the contrary he declares
his purpose to do all he can to secure his
election. He further assures us that the
triumph of Geary is beyond a reasonable
doubt We need not say to our readers
that Gov. Curtin's wishes and efforts are
cordially with the party and its candidates.
It could not be otherwise."

Political Items.
H There is some talk of the unqualified sup-
' porters of Presidnnt Johnson's policy hold
n'ectiou with the nomination. -
Sau1 M'Kelvey has been nominated by
President Johnson as Marshall for the Wes
tern District of Pennsylvania iu place of
Alex. Murdock, present incumbent; and
Wade Hampton as Postmaster at Pittsburg
in place of S. P. Von Bonnhurst, now oc-
eupying that position.
U A correspondent of the Elk Advocate re
commends James B. Graham, Esq., of
Clearfield, as a suitable candidate of the
"Johnson Republican" party lor Congress
in the'Nineteenth District
R. Y. Clark, Esq. , of Bloomsburg, has
been nominateded by the President, as as
sessor of the 13th district.of Pennsylvania,
in the place of Dr. P. John, the present in
cumbent. , ,'
Wm. F. Johnston has been nominated
by the President as collector of Internal
Revenue in the 22d district of Penn'a, in
place of David N.White, the present col
lector. A Washington telegraphic dispatch says
that "the Senate is disposed to reject all
nominees in place of persons removed for
not endorsing the President's policy."
Henry A. Smythe, President of the
Central National Bank of New York, has
been appointed Collector of the Port of
New York. - - v
The Recording of Deeds. Many ot
our readers, perhaps, are not aware that
there is a stringent law respecting the prop
er recording of deeds in the Register's of
fice, an 1 from that ignorance may some
time he placed in an embarrassmgand disas
trous position. We copy the Act that all
may see and govern themselves accordingly
"All deeds and con veyance for real es-
state in cms Commonwealth, shall be re
corded in the onice tor reco ruing deeds in
the county where the lands lie. within six
months after the execution of such deeds
and conveyances not recorded as aforsaid
shall be adjudged . fraudulent and void
against any subsequent purchase fo a valu
able consideration, unless such dtcds be re
corded before the recording of the deeds or
conveyance under which such a subsequent
purchaser or mortgages shall claim.
Bounty Tax Who are Exempt?
The following is the bill as it passed the
Legislature, exempting certain persons from
the payment of bounty and per capita tax,
and militia flues. It has been approved by
the Governor and is therefore a law :
Be it enacted, &c. , That all persons who
have been mustered into the military ser
vice of the United States, and have served
therein for a period of not less than nim
months in the war to suppress rebellion,
and their property and those persons who
have been discharged irom said service on
accout of wounds, or physical-disability,
contracted in such service, and their prop
erty shall be exempt from the payment ot
all bounty and ver capita tax levied, or to
be levied, for paying bounties to volunteer
in the several counties ot this common
wealth, and such persons shall also be ex
empt lrom the payment of militia hues.
Send Your Photograph. It is propos
ed by the State authorities to procure a lull
history oi the services rendered Dy l enn
sylvania regiments in the war to crush the
slaveholders rebellion, and as an interesting
portion of that history, it has been sugges
ted by Gov. Curtin that the State Librarian
collect Photographs of all officers of such
regiments, to be deposited in the State Li
brary, in such a form as to be easily referred
to and examined. In accordance with this
proposition,, the State Librarian now re
quests all such officers to send well executed
card Photographs of themselves, addressed
to the State Library, and. where the officer
has perished, that the friends of the gal
lant dead send such photographs. Each
card to be carefully inscribed beneath the
photograph with the name, rank, company
aud regiment iu which the officer served.
George Peabody, the American banker
doing business in England, after having
amassed an immense fortune in that coun
try, and bestowed princely sums to pei ma
ne ntly relieve the indigent poor of Loir-
don, is about to leave the Old World to re
sume his citizenship in the United -States.
The Queen of England recently indicated
her desire to recognize Mr. Peabody' s
worth and virtues by placing a title at his
disposal. He gratefully acknowledged Vic
toria's kind appreciation, but firmly declin
ed her honor, for the reason that he is an
American freeborn citizen, which he consid
ers the highest earthly honor any man can
enjoy. We wonder how many of the mon
ey snobs living now in this country could
have resisted this offer of a title.
Gen. Geary's Friends. The following
item, clipped from an exchange, shows
whom the heroes of the late war favor for
Governor of Pennsylvania :
"Gen. Grant has already emphatically de
clared in favor of General Gear, and will
throw all his influence for him. Gen. Lo
gan, of Illinois, and Gen. Burnside have
expressed their willingness to take the
stump and do battle beneath the banner of
the capturer of Savannah, and their com
panion in armsr Gen. Geary. " Maj. Gen.
Hancock, one of Pennsylvania's most bril-
lant heroes, with Gen. Meade, the hero nf
Gettysburg, who may be classed among the
best soldiers ot the world, are ready tor his
warm support. - -
Eleven Northern societies, all of them
under the management of abhorred radicals,
and supported by the contributions of those
Lienubhcans who so fiercely hate tha
South," havejemployed during the last year,
and are now maintaining, in the Southern
States seven hundred and sixty teachers, ev
ery one of whom has orders to teach all the I
white children within reach.
"The National Uaion Club"
A good deal has been said about a club at
Washington, to which has been imputed
the design of organizing a third or ; "John
son Party." It has been called "The Johu
sou Club," but we perceive that the name
chosen by itself is "The National . Union
Club." We find in a Washington paper
the names of the officers and the platform,
and it being probable that some of our
readersmay have some curiosity to havesouie
thing better than mere rumor concurning
them, we give them below, with the remark
of the Pittsburg Commercial, that the. line
of distinction between this platform of prjn
ciples and the reaosnized doctrines of the
Union party, as laid down in the the Chi
cago and Baltimore platforms, exists more
in the imagination than in reality. - With
these principles strictly adhered to. it seems
to us that there should be nothing but har
mony among those who voted'for Lincoln
and Johnson :

PLATFORM OF TI!K NATIONAL CMOS CLCB.
1. Resolved, That we are now, as hereto
fore, ardently attached to the Union of the
States under the Constitution of the United
States; we deny the right of any State to
secede, and hold that all the States are now
btates in this union, as before the rehelhor
and we deuv the power of the General Gov
eminent, under the Constitution, to exclude
a State from the union or to govern it as
Territory.
2. Resolved, That our confidence in the
ability, integrity, patriotism', and statesman
ship of President Johnson is undiminished,
and we cordially approve the general policy
of his administration.
3. Resolved, That, we endorse the resolu
tiou cf Congress of July, declaring
the object ot the war on our part to be the
detenee arid maintenance ot the supremacy
ot tha Constitution, and the preservation ot
the Union, with the dignity, equality, and
rights of the several States unimpaired.
4. Rexolved, That, in the language of ' he
Chicago platform or I860, and as quoted by
the late President Lincoln in his hrst inauj
oral address, "The maintenance inviolate of
the rights of States, and especially of the
rights of each State to order and control its
own domestic institutions according to its
own judgment exclusively, subject only to
the Constitutiou of the United States, is es
sential to that balance ot power on which
the perfection and endurance of our politi
cal fabric depends."
5. Resolved, That under the Constitution
of the united Stares is reserved to the-sev
eral States,the right to prescribe the qualifi
cations or electors therein ; and that it woulo
be subversive of the principles of our Gov
ernment for Congress to force universal suf
frage upen any portion of thecouutry in op
position to the known wishes of the citizens
thereof.
6. Resolved, "That this Union must be
and remain one and indivisible tor ever,
that the war for its preservation having
been brought to a triumphant close, and the
supremacy ot the Constitution vindicated,
the righto ot the States under the Constitu
rion are to be maintained inviolate, and that
loyal citizens within the States and districts
lately overrun by rebellion are entitled to all
the rights guarranteed to them by the Con
stitution.
7. Resolved, That all the States of the
Union are entitled by the Constitution of
the United States to representation in the
councils of the nation, and that all loyal
members duly elected and returned, having
the requisite qualifications as prescribed bv
law, should be admitted to their seats in
Congress without any unnecessary delay by
their respective Houses, each House bein?
the judge of the election, returns and ouali
fications of to own members.
. jiesoivea, I hat treason is a crime
which should be punished, and that we are
opposed to compromising with traitors by
bartering universal amnesty tor univer
sal suffrage."
9. Re-tolueil, That the payment of the
uationai aeot is a sacred obligation, never
to be repudiated ; and that no debt or obli
gation incurred in any manner whatever in
aid of treason or rebelliou should ever be
assumed or paid.
10. Rtsolveil, 1 hat we cordially endorse
the restoration policy of President Johnson
as wise, patriotic, constitutional, and in har
mony with the loyal sentiment and purpose
ot the people in the suppression ot the re-
bellioh ; with the platform urjon which he
was elected ; the declared policy of the late
President Lincoln, the action ot Congress.
and pledges given durjng the war.
ii. j.esoivea, mac tne . nation owes a
lasting debt of gratitude to the soldiers and
sailors of the late war for the suppression
of the rebellion, and that the families of the
fallen heroes who died that the country
might live, are the wards of the people, and
should be cared for by the Government.
The Rebel Debt Party. Tn the House
of Representatives, recently, Mr. Rogers of
iew Jersey, leading Copperhead in that
body declared that "to prohibit the payment
"of the RebeL debt was the very emblem
"and quintessence of despotism and ty
"ranny." That is the position of the par
ty in this State. They exhibit good deal
more anxiety about the rebel debt than our
own. If you want the rebel debt all paid.
just vote with the Clymer party.

galiant Union soldier, Maj. Gen. Geary
The meeting was cordial, and it is .natural
to suppose ti at they were mutually compli
mentary. Clymer, for instance, congratu
lated Mosby for his gallant services against
the Union soldiers iu the field, while Mosby
congratulated Clymer for his efforts against
them, on the "not a man or a dollar" prin
ciple, ou the stump. And the Democratic
