. J. 10, SUITOR AD PROPBIBTOB.
CLEARFIELD, PA., OCTOBER 10, I860.
t . . The Ee3ult ia Clearfield County. . ,
"' We give elsewhere returns from all the
Districts except three, from which it ap
pears that the Democratic majority in this
county will rrobahly be 1,150.
This result is not as favorable to the De
mocracy as the leaders of that party antici
pated. ' In their calculations they generally
claimed 1,500 of a majority, and the unex
ampled efforts and vijor which they threw
into the canvass, seemed to justify them in
making such an estimate. That they are
disappointed in the result they plainly show
by their conduct since the election, and they
have the poor consolation df knowing that
with all their persistent falsehoods and mis
re presentations about the proposed Consti
tutional Amendments, "negro suffrage' '
and "negro equality," they utterly failed in
their attempts to deceive and . mislead the
intelligent freemen who stood by and sus
tained the Government when these men
were sympathizing with and encouraging the
Rebels in their efforts to destroy it.
Too much credit cannot be given to the Re
publicans of Clearfield cocnty for the noble
etand they have made in this campaign, and
an analysis of the figures exhibits some
highly encouraging facts. Comparing the
present with the Lincoln and McClellan
vote of 1864, which was the largest ever
cast in the county, we find that in Beccaria,
Boggs, Bradford, Clearfield, Goshen, Gra
ham, Jordan, Knox, Morris, Curwensville,
Pike, Brady and Bloom, we have made
gains amounting to 210, whilst iu Chest,
Guelich, Karthaus, Lawrcrce, Woodward
and Union the Democrats increase their
vote 73, giving the Republicans a net gain
of 137. In the balance of the Districts, this
may be changed one way or the other a lit
tle, but upon the whole we have done well
in reducing the McClellan majority of 1,391
to one not exceeding 1,150 for Clyuier.
H. Bucher Swoopo, Esq.
We clip the following complimentary no
tice of our townsman II. Bucher Swoope,
Esq., from the Ilarrisburg Tekgraph of
Tuesday. The speech was made at the last
grand rally, in the Court House at Harris
burg, to an immense audience, presided over
by Gen. Simon Cameron. -
"II. Bucher Swoope. Esq., of Clearfield
county, was next introduced. " Mr. Swoope
is one of the most popular public speakers
known on the stump in the western and
northeastern part of t he State. His speech,
last evening, took his audience by surprise,
as being one ot th-se spirited, sarcastic, and
argumentative , efforts which lead a crowd
and carry conviction to the hearts of all who
heard it. He showed that the attitude of
the Democratic party, during the late con
test in this State, was as weak and as
fraudulent, and as disgraceful to truth,
as was that ot the traitors during the rebel
lion. He proved that Hiester Clymer oc
cupied a position iu the sight of all the
candid men of Penns'ylvaniaiinilar to that
occupied by Jeff. Davis in the sight of the
world a position claiming falsely to repre
sent a principle, when, in reality, it sought,
merely to vindicate a dogma that evil and
ambitious meu might succeed to ruin and
disgrace the country. Without attempting
to sketch Mr. Swoope's speech, we cannot,
refrain from pronouncing his effort one of
the very ablest made in this city during the
campaign for Governor of Pennsylvania.
. -
.. Bogus Tickets.
-We are reliably informed that Republican
tickets, with the name of the Democratic
candidate for Congress, were put in circula
tion in some' parts of this county, aud we
have heard of one instance in which the ef
fort was made to thus impose on a Republi
can voter, but the person attempting it was
discovered and promptly exposed. It is to
such base and disreputable means that the
leaders of the once great Democratic party
have been resorting in the vain hope of ma
king a few votes. O. shame, where is thy
blush?
The indications are now quite positive
that there will be no anticipation of the in
terest due on 5-20, bonds November 1st,
though there are some who look for the
payment of this interest about the loth of
the month. - The recent advance in the
price of these bonds in the face of the unex
plained and unexpected decline on the other
side, shows that our market is sufficiently
stron; to act independently of either the
London or Frankfort exchange. v

Wallace ia favor of Deserters!
Ha advises Violation of the Election Laws !
Though it may seem rather late to do so
after the election, we publish below, as a
matter of record, a circular issued - by Wm.
A. Wallace, Chairman of the so-called Dem
ocratic State ( Committee, which every hon
est and well-meaning man will read with
astonishment 'and indignation, and which
will attach to its author a stigma that be
can never outlive. Illegal voting is coun
solod and .-encouraged . and assurances .are
given that justice "shall not" be execut
ed against the violators of the laws; Demo
cratic election officers are to be "sustained
Pi
in receiving fraudulent and illegal votes,
and "almost every means to poll them"
"will be justified," while Republican officers
are to be compelled to admit them. But
over and above all this it is virtually claim
ed that Democratic President Judges and
District Attorneys, present and prospective,
are pledged to carry out these "assurances,"
and that only such Democrats as are "reli
able" in these "plain cases," can sit as
Jurors. Besides this, the spirit of the cir
cular assumes that the deserters belong to
the Democratic party a fact which no one
will attempt to deny. That the revolution
ary and threatening purposes avowed in this
precious document, have been attempted all
over the State, is by this time a matter of
history. But here is the circular. Read it
carefully aud theu preserve it for future use.
Circular 4 Private.
Democratic State Committee Rooms,
828 Walnut Stiieet, Philadelphia.
September 12tu, 1866.
To J. Ii. Sanson, Chairman of Comity
. Committee of Indiana County.
Dear Sir The subject of the deserters
lists requires prompt and thorough atten
tion. These lists are being furnished by
the Adjutant General to the several Clerks
of Quarter Sessions, and it will be attempt
ed to reject the votes of all those whose
names are found upon them.
The case of Huber vs. Reilly settled the
question in this State, and unless a man has
been Convicted of Insertion and Failure to
return to . Service or to Report to a Provost
Marshal, he is entitled to vote. This is the
fixed opinion of the Supreme Court, and
they stand firmly by it.
The only evidence of Desertion is the Rec
ord of Conviction. The Act of Assembly
known as the McConaughy Jaw is totally
void as regaids all other caes, and I desire
to impress it upon you and our friends, that
the law is icithuxin this matter, and tlvat ire
will be sustained in receiving these rotes in
every case, AND WILL BE JUSTIFIED
IN RESORTING TO ALMOST EVERY
MEANS TO POLL THEM.
None of the penalties imposed by thatlaw
can ever be enforced, I have the very highest
authority for declaring this to 3tou.
I have made every effort to bring the Act
of Assembly directly before the Court, but
up to this time have not succeeded. I shall
not relax my efforts in that and another di
rection.
In the necessity for immediate action I
have to give the following general directions.
I trust you will see them attended to, and
also use all other means that you and our
friends deem wise in the emergency.
I shall within a week furnish you with
complete lists of all the alleged deserters
and non-reporting drafted men so far as
1 hare been able to get them, and as I obtain
others will also furnih them to you. One
copy of this list will be furnished to you for
each election district. "Forewarned is fore
armed." The law makes the certificate ot
the Clerk of Quarter Sessions the evidence
of desertion, and ij is probable that the
enemy will get certificates to use against our
men, and not y rod uce the evidence against
their on n. Withthese lists you can learn
which of their men are also on, and be pro
vided with the weapon against them, if it
be necessary.
The first thing to be done is to keep our
election officers fully up to the mark, and
sustain them in receiving these votes. I, ad
vise that a circular signed by the District
Attorney and the Democratic members of
the bar, distinctly pointing out their duty
under the law, and giving the point decided
in Huber vs. Reilly, and assuring them that
the penalties in the art of Assembly cannot
and SHALL NOT be enforced against
them, be placed in each of their hands.
A circular from yourself, accompanied by
the list,should also go to the. Vigilance Com
mittee, or the most reliable Democrats in
each election district, for private use by
them.
I also wish to furnish to every election
officer a copy of the decision of the Supreme
Court. Forward me their names and Post
Office address.
Where we have the President Judge, the
District Attorney and reliable Juries, the
case is a very plain one. The votes MUST
BE POLLED, and you MUST THREATEN"
the Republican officers and FULFIL YOUR
THREATS. This will dispose of the mat
ter in the Democratic Counties. In those
Counties in which the Republicans have the
Judge, Juries and District Attorney, we
must be specially active in sustaining and
upholding our election officers, and if we can
succeed m gettiner them right, the whole
trouble is reduced to Republican Districts
in their counties. Here the lists asain be-
ponie useful, and 1 advise that our friends
elumge the voter (if it can be done) into a
Democratic District over 10 days before the
election, and also provide themselves with
certificates to strike their men in retvrn. If
we can carry this out we . will neutralize
their great game, and whip them with their
own weapons.
Please require our friends to keep accurate
lists of all voters who may be rejeeted on
election day. ';.
Couarge, firmness and clear instructions
as to duty and we will easily win the fight.
WILLIAM A. WALLACE,'
Chairman.
A woman seventy years of age died in the
Portland alms-house lately. She was cross
ed in love in her youth, and made a vow
which she'rehg-.ously kept, never to speak
again. From that time until death, a pe
riod of 35 years,she has not uttered an intel
ligible word.
PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS,
Allegheny: County. A very painful
calamity occurred last Thursday evening,
whereby Mrs. Catharine Douglas, wife of
Mr. Wm. Douglas, of Jefferson township,
came to an untimely death. Mrs. Douglas
was filling with oil, a lamp, in which the
light had been left burning. Somehow.the
stream poured from the cau, or the gas that
was thrown off from it, became ignited, and
a terrible explosion instantly followed. The
can was torn to fragments, the metalic part
of the lamp was melted in a moment, and
the spreading flames communicating to the
unfortunate lady's garments, soon wrappad
her in a blaze." Before assistance arrived,
nearly all her clothing was consumed,. and
her flesh horribly burned. In this shock
ing state of agony, she lingered till the fol
lowing afternoon, when death finally came
to her relief. ... A little girl, a daughter
of Wm. Murphy, of North Strabane, met
with a most terrible death a few days since.
The child's mother was boiling soap in a
large kettle, which was taken from the fire
and set on the floor. The child was playing
about and fell backwards into the boiling
soap. The entire surface of the child's
body was literally cooked before it could be
taken out.
York County. A horse and buggy
wagon, the property of Mr. John Murphy,
residing in the neighborhood of the Brogue
Tavern, in Chancetord township, this coun
ty, was found, on Sunday mnrninsr, Sept.
30th, hitched at the stable of Messrs. Hep
penstall and Gohn, at the Canal basin, in
Wrightsville. The thieves, of which there
were two, drove up the towing path of the
canal, arriving here about one o'clock that
morning, and were seen by a boatman, but
becoming alarmed, abandoned their booty
and made their escape. The theft was com
mitted some time during Saturday night,
and on Sunday morning Mr. Murphy re
covered his property. The jail birds are
still at large.
Lancaster County. The barn of Da
vid E. Potts, near Witmer's Bridge, was
destroyed by fire on the night of the 27th,
Sept. Cause not known. . . An unknown
woman, about 25 years of age, was found
drowned in Mill Creek, near Enterprise, on
the 5th Oct. A German book, lying on the
bank, contained, arnoiiir other things.a sarn
plcr,with "Louisa Tragler, March 2. 147,"
wrought in worsted upon it . . Tbe barn
of Mr. Davis Clenismi, in Salisbury t'wp.,
was struck by lightning on the 20th Sept.,
and burned to the ground. Mr. C. has lost
three barns by fire within five years, two
being the work of incendiaries.
Northumberland County. On the
27th Sept., Mr. Andrew Meixell, of Sunbu
ry, whilst passing the lot of Mr. Irwin, saw
some apples lying on the ground, and.jump
iug over the fence, picked up a couple to
eat, when he was fired upon by a son of Mr.
Irwin, aged about 18 years, the shot taking
effect in his breast, penetrating the lung,
and causing death a few hours after. Mr.
Meixell was 26 years old, and leaves a wife
and two children. Young Irwin was arrest
ed and confined in prison.
Dauphin. County. The barn of Lewis
II. Noviock, of Susquehanna, was burned,
with its contents, on the night of October
20th. A man named James Young has
been arrested on a charge of having set fire
to the building.
Mexico.
It appears to be a settled point that Max
imilliah's career as Emperor of Mexico is
about closed. The Liberals are pressing up
on him closer and closer, and with steadily
augmenting forces. The question now is
what next?
The political experience of Mexico for a
period of over thirty years affords but little
foundation for hope that It will now settle
down io peace under a well-ordered govern
ment. The. elements essential to such , a
condition seem to be wanting. Rival chief
taius, with their factions, composed of ig
norant and unreflecting followers, have kept
the country in perpetual turmoil, by refus
ing, as did our rebels, to submit to the deci
sions' of the ballot. Political parties there
are warring factions; and hence neither prin
ciples norauthority ca i be regulated and set
tled by the voice of majorities.
Santa Anna is figuring to get in once
more; but in the maze of conflicting rumors
it is impossible to tell whether he has any
prospect of success. , The Feuians, too, are
being mixed up in the confused imbroglio ;
but we have no idea that they "are destined
to play any important part in it.
The fact Ls, the missionary and the school
master, in their quiet way, will have to do
the work, so far as the Mexican people are
concerned, aud a constaut stream ot immi
gration, which will, be sure to follow these
powerful agents of civilization, will furnish
the fresh blood required for the social and
political recuperation of those sick people.
The Bible in the hands of the people will do
more for, them than ;all ( the constitutions
that ever were penned.
Tennessee Law. In Carroll county,
Tennessee, last week, a man was tried be
fore a county magistrate, charged with steal
ing corn from a neighbor's crib. The de
fendant had been found with his hand in an
aperture in the crib, safely fastened in a
steel trap which the owner of the crib had
set for the purpose of catching a thief who
had been preying upon his grain: It was
also in evidence that two empty sacks were
found lying at the feet of the entrapped in
dividual. The decision of the magistrate
was that there was no proof that the pris
oner had stolen any corn, and as to being
caught in a steel trip, any gentleman had a
right to stick his hand into one if he felt in
clined to do so.
'In the famine districts in Indiat the na
tives are reduced to feet! on roots and mango
stones, which they grind into a kind of flour.
This miserable sustenance is wholly insuffici
ent to keep a large number of them from
starving, and the fearful spectacle is present
ed of numerous corpses lying on the high
ways.. - They remain unburied, and, proba
bly as a consequence, cholera . has broken
out, and is carrying off large numbers of
persons. In their utter , distress mothers
are offering their children for sale in order
to buy bread.

LETTER FROM GEN. SHERIDAN,
5pocial dUpateh to the X. T. Tribune
Washington, Thursday, Oct. 4. 1866.
The following dispatch has just been re
received from The Tribune Bureau in New
Orleans :
New Orleans, Thursday, Oct. 4, 1S66.
Some important disclosures will soon be
officially made public in reference to secret
Rebel societies, which permeate the entire
South. These organizations have branch
circles in New York City and the West.
That in New York is said to number 50,000,
principally composed of meu who served iu
the Rebel army. Each circle has a differ
ent name. Some are known as "The True
Sonsof the South," others as 'The Knigh's
of Arabia, ' ' and all are well armed with the
most approved weapons, ready at a mo
ment's notice, Ehould a favorable opportu
nity arise, to renew the struggle for the lost
c-use. One of the chief members of this
organization, now in prison, is said to have
made important disclosures. Gen. Sheri
dan is concentrating troops in this city for
important purposes, which will soon be made
apparent.
Nine cases ot whipping of negroes have
been recently officially reported in the par
ish of Bienville. One old womau, 70yeais
of age, received 400 lashes.
The following explains itself :
New Orleans. Sept. 20, 1866.
To IRs Excellency, Gov. Throckmorton.
I have just received from Col. Mason his re
port on the affair which occurred at Bren
hanj, Texas, on the 7th inst., and have di
rected him to notify Brevet -Major Smith
that he must not permit himself nor any of
his men to be arrested. I respectfully re
quest of your Excellency to do all in your
power to allay the excitement there, and I
will do all in my power to satisfy the ends of
justice in every case, but I doubt if mucJi
justice could be dune in a community which'
compels our officers ond soldiers to remain in
side of the defense thrown around their camps.
I will have an additional and thorough in
vestigation of this affair, if possible, to as
certain if any soldiers were guilty of the af
fair, but Col. Mason is clearly of the im
pression that those designated for arrest are
innocent. Respect fully, your bedient ser
vant, P. H. Shvrthan,
Major Genera! U. S. A.
Capr, Smith. Commandant at Brenhatn,
Texas, who was charged with the know 'edge
of the burning of the town, lia-s issued an
order for the disarming of all the inhabi
tants of the neighborhood, and in effect de
clares martial law. lie states that the ca
ses of outrages to freed men being on the in
crease, he intends to render every assistance
to the Bureau agent in order that justice
may be done to the freedmen, and the guil
ty parties brought to justice.
Horrible Tragedy.
Mrs Caroline Simnis, the wife of Robert
F. Sinnns, a farm laborer residing in Medi
na. Illinois, has been, for some time past,
subject to temporary fits of despondency,
which would occasionally assume the form
of ferocious insanity. Hut little importance
was attached to these demonstrations by her
husband and acquaintances, who attributed
her peculiar actions to the fact of her being
in a weak state of health. She has been
possessed of an exciteable and rather fiery
temper, but has almost invariably displayed
a reasonable degree of affection for her hus
band and children. On the morning of Oet.
3d, after her husband had gone to the sta
ble to attend to his morning chores, she,
with the cunning of insanity, which had
long been gathering, and only awaited a fa
vorable opportunity to burst with terrible
fury, took from the drawer her husband's
razor, approached her own bed, wherein her
youngest, child was sleeping, and cut the
throat of the little innocent from ear to car.
In a trundle bed were sleeping the three
other children, aged, respectively, four-seven
and nine years. With cat-like tread she
approached the bleeping children, an 1 re
peated the same bloody deed upon the
youngest and next youngest, killing them
almost instantly. The oldest, a boy, lay
next the wall, and with his back toward the
other children. She reached over the bod
ies of the first two, and attempted to draw
the razor across the throat of the oldest boy ,
but, owing to his position, or some cause
unknown, she only succeded in inflicting a
severe, but not fatal gash. Thinking, how
ever, her bloody task accomplished, she
drew the reeking weapon across the front of
her own throat, and sunk to the floor on the
spot. The oldest boy, who had only been
partially stunned, upon recovering, by his
cries of fright and terror brought the father
and some ot the neighbors to the house, and
hastening to the room from whence the
cries proceeded, the horrible scenes met
their gaze. The three younger children
were entirely dead, and in about ten min
utes the mother breathed her last. The
affair has created an intense excitement
throughout the county, and the opinion
seems generally to prevail that the woman
was hopelessly insane. The Coroner was
summoned, and this forenoon held an in
quest upon the bodies, the result of which
is not yet known.
The St. Louis Republican says; "We
learn that the Directors of the Union Pacif
ic Railroad, E. D., have made a further
contract for iron to the extent of 6,000 tons,
making 12,000 in all since they have pre
pared for the mr.i 1 extension of their road
west of Fort Riiey. The contractors are
Messrs. Shoemaker, Miller & Co., of the
Cambria Works at Johnstown, Pa.," who
have every facility for speedily carrying out
their engagements." :
Authentic intelligence, it is said, has been
received going to show that the French for
ces to be withdrawn froin Mexico are to be
replaced by volunteers raised and equipped
on French soil, and which are to be known
as the Army of Mexico. . In this way Liuis
Napoleon hopes to maintain a foothold in
the country and there i now no doubt but
that he will do so-wnless the Administra
tion, exhibits more backbone upon this sub
ject than it has hitherto done. : , -
Advices from Livingston county, Ala
bama, represent the prospect for the cotton
crop as roost discouraging, and not more
than one-fourth of Ja yield is looked for.
From several other sections of the State the
reports are even worse than this.
