CLEARFIELD, PA.,OCTOBER31, 1866.
The Trouble in' Maryland.
The trouble arising out of the proposed
removal of the Baltimore police Commis
sioners, is not yet finally determined. As
there are some facts that may not be gener
ally known, which are necessary to a correct
understanding of the matter, wc will en
deavor to state them as succinctly as possi
ble. Under the amended State Constitution of
Maryland, "no person who ha9 at any time
"been in armed hostility to the United
"States," or "has in any manner adhered
" to the enemies of the United States," or
has declared "his desire for the triumph of
"said enemies over the arms of the United
" States, shall ever be entitled to vote at any
"election to be held in this State, etc. Af
terwards a Registry law was passed for the
purpose of carrying into effect this provis
ion of the Constitution, and it was contem
plated that the names of all persons disfran
chised under it, should be excluded from the
registry. Last spring, prior to the holding
of the municipal election in Baltimore, a re
gistry was made, and as far as they were
known, the names of rebels were omitted,
and as the Judges and Clerks of elections
in the city are appointed by the police Com
missioners, who are Union men, it can
readily be imagined that few of that class
were permitted to vote. Recently it was
claimed that a new registry should be made
for the Fall election, the object being to reg
ister the excluded classes, but, the question
having been submitted to the Attorney Gen
eral of the State, that official decided that
another registry is not required. In the
meantime Gov. Swan, who was elected by
the Union party, abandoned his friends, and
application was, therefore, made to him-for
the removal of the Police Commissioners,
on a charge of misconduct, the law creating
the Board providing, that "for official mis
conduct any of said Commissioners may be
removed by a concurrent vote of the two
Houses of the General Assembly, which in
like manner elects them,) or by the Govern
or during the recess thereof." The Com
missioners deny thfi jurisdiction of the Gov
ernor, and say they are ready to be tried by
a competent tribunal. The Governor, on
the other hand, claims that he has jurisdic
tion, and had determined to proceed in the
case at an early day.
If the present Commissioners could be re
removed, and others appointed who would
select Judges and Clerks of elections that
would permit all the returned Rebels to vote
on the 6th of November, it is thought by
the Democrats that they could defeat the
Union nominees for the Assembly, prevent
the ratification of the Amendment to the
Federal Constitution, and elect a Johnson-
ite to the United States Senate in place of
Hon. J. J. Crcsswell ; and as Gov. Swan
himself is an aspirant for the place, he has
joined heartily with the Rebel sympathizers
in their movement against th.e Commission
ers. The charges against the latter are triv
ial, not sufficient to justify such a course,
but as Gov. Swan is an obstinate and un
scrupulous man, he will probably, after hear
ing the testimony, order the removal.
On Friday last, the examination of wit
nesses was commenced, and it is thought a
decision will be reached to-day. If, as is ap
prehended, a removal will then be ordered,
it does not necessarily follow that any serious
consequences will ensue. The Commission
ers will likely refuse to" deliver up the books
and papers, when, if the Governor pursues
the same course that was taken in a similar
case in New York, he will serve a manda
mus upon them, and thus bring the matter
before the proper Court, where the Com
missioners have expressed their willingness
to answer the charges . preferred against
them. If, on the other hand, Gov. Swan is
determined to bring about a collision that
may involve, not only Baltimore, but the
whole State of Maryland, and perhaps the
General Government, in a conflict of arms,
he can do so by attempting with the milita
ry power to enforce his decree.
Jack Rogers, of New Jersey, has at last
proved too strong a dose even for the bet
ter members of his own party. It is claim
ed that he secured his nomination this fall
through a packed Convention, and a rew
Contention has just been held by those
Democrats of his district who do not like
thatjr&y of doing things, at which Hon.
John Huyler, a former member of Congress,
was nominated. This renders Jack's de
feat certain, and a good riddance will it be
too, for he is one of the least worthy men
that ever found his way into the House of
Representatives,
News from J apan informs us that Tice has
fallen "two boos per pieul," if anybody
knows what that means.
Wallace Comibrteth Ms Friends.
It is usual, after a general election, for the
successful party, through its State Commit
tee, to congratulate the victors upon the re
sult of their efforts. This Fall we have not
only this, but the public are, in addition,
treated to the uovelty of an address, under
date of October 17th, issued by William A.
Wallace, chairman of the so-called "Demo
cratic State Committee," felicitating the
faithful upon their defeat, or what is about
the same thing, upon the advantages they
gained in the political contest that has just
been closed in Pennsylvania. "Yqu have
" reduced the majority of your opponents,"
says Wallace, "and have demonstrated the
"strength of your organization." What
particular majority he refers to, and in what
special manner they have "demonstrated
their strength," may be all plain enough to
a good calculator like W. A. W., but we are
forced to confess that we "can't see it."
Nor is this all. Warming up with his sub
ject, William enthusiastically exclaims that
"buoyancy and hope every whererpervade
"your ranks, whilst chagrin and dismay
" mark the visages of your opponents," and
he further confidently avers that "in the
"light of this exhibition of your stern de
" votion to the doctrines of the Constitu
"tlon," et cetera, etcetera, the Republi
cans "read their coming defeat." Now, if
we didn't know that William was a serious
individual and not at all inclined to levity,
we would be disposed to think that he was
"poking fun" at his discomfited partizans
for the sorry figure they cut on the second
Tuesday of October. However as W. A. W.
don't joke, we must take it for granted that
he is not "laughing at their calamities," but
in sober earnest means what he says, and
that whilst ordinary mortals, possessing less
penetrative visual organs and prophetic mind
than William, may have some difficulty in
discerning the "chagrin and dismay" in the
happy faces of the victorious Republicans,
and the "coming defeat" he holds in such
blissf ul anticipation, yet these are pheuom'e
naqui'e "as clear as mud" to a brilliant in
tellect like his. Wallace seems to regard it
also as a matter of no little moment that his
party had to combat great odds, by the
"concentration" of all the enterprizing, in
fluential and intelligent classes against their
miscellaneous aggregation of Copperheads,
Rebel sympathizers.deserters, and renegades
from "the ranks of the enemy." He says
the Republicans had, the "influence of al
" most every manufacturer, corporation aud
Wl bank ;" "they Mad at their command a
" large preponderance of the public press of
"the State;" which, by the by, is not
speaking well of the reading propensities of
the Democracy ; "speakers without num
"ber;" "memories of the war still fresh
" enough to be the means of exciting ha
" tred ;" a fact that tells plainly where he
and his friends stood whilst the Rebellion
was in progress ;. "and all the advantages
" that the possession of municipal and State
" power could bring," though he boasted in
a former address that "power" was no lon
ger against, but with his party, and that
"opportunities for fraud did not exist."
"And yet, unaided and self-dependent,"
quoth Wallace, "you have combatted this
" powerful combination, and almost carried
"the Skite!'' Probably his poor dupes,
who bet large sums in full reliance upon the
correctness of his telegrams and proclama
tions, will derive great consolation from this
important announcement. The whole Com
monwealth having been resonant with their
.anathemas, no doubt their curses will now
cease, and they will be content to have lost
their money in view of having "almost car
ried the State," the majority agaiust-them
being only a trifle over seventeen thousand!
But seriously : What a record William A.
Wallace has made for himself by his procla
mations before and after the election ! Hav
ing iu the Senate opposed the right of the
soldier to vote while serving in the field, it
was fitting that he should .issue a circular
directing his friends to vote deserters and
skulkers in violation of the laws of the land.
And now that the election is over and the
loyal masses triumphant in despite of ille
galities, frauds and prostituted Government
patronage, it is more than ever appropriate
that he should attribute the defeat of his
friends to the recent "memories of the war."
Truly, his coarse and that of his party dur
ing the Rebellion have not been forgotten.
It is a record of infamy that will go down
to posterity side by side with that of the
Tories of the Revolution. As long as the
"Boys in Blue" survive, and Patriotism is
more than a name, so long will Copperhead
leaders and politicians sink beneath those
"memories of the war," which they have
and will in vain seek to obliterate. And
nothing will have a stronger tendency to
undeceive the honest voters who have been
misled into the support of Copperhead can
didates, than the truthful admissions that
have accidentally been thrown to the sur
face by the "spasmodic" heavings of Wal
lace's funeral address.
Fight with Indies. The Indians in
Colorado are again on the war-path. A
dispatch from Julesburg, .dated Oct. 24th,
states that they drove many herd of stock,
killed several of the nieht-herders, and
wounded a number of others. Two com
panies of cavalry were at once sent against
wu" a-meuana wound
ed a number of them, and captured all their
poneys, wigwams, and arms. Further
troubles are expected. The feeling in the
Territories against the Indians is very bit
ter, and they will have to pay dearly for
every outrage committed by them.
The United States and Mexico.
Below will be found an order from Gen
eral Sheridan, commanding the Department
of the Gulf in which more decided ground
is taken in favor of the Liberal or Jaurez
party than any similar official document had
done before, and is regarded as an indica
tion of the policy our own Government has
resolved on pursuing in reference to Mexi
ican affairs. Simultaneously Vith the ap
pearance of this important order, the Cable
brings the announcement that tba Emperor
Maximilian will probably return to Europe
in the frigate that was recently despatched
from Trieste by the Austrian Emperor, and
that twenty war steamers will leave France
for Mexico in November lo bring, home
the entire French force now in thatcountr) :
H'd. Q'rs. Dep't of the Gclf, )
N. O., La., Oct. 23, 18G6. )
General : I am satisfied that there is on
ly one way in which the state of affairs on
the Rio Grande can be bettered, and that is
by giving the heartiest support to the
only government in Mexico recognized by
our own the only one which is really friend
ly to us. You will, therefore, warn adhe
rents of aby party or pretended Government
in Mexico, or the State of Tauiaulipas,that
they will not be permitted to violate the
neutrality laws between the Liberal Govern
ment of Mexico and the United States ; and
also that they will not be' permitted to re
main in our territojy and receive the pro
tection of our flag in order to complete their
machinations for the violation of our neu
trality laws. These instructions will be en
forced against the adherents of the Imperial
buccaneer representing the so-called Impe
rial Government of Mexico, and also against
the Ortega, Santa Anna and other factions.
President Jaurez is the acknowledged head
of the -Liberal Government of Mexico.
I am, very respectfully, Your obedient ser
vant, P. II . S herwan, M aj. Gen. Com.

The Canvass in Delaware.
The political canvass in the little State of
Delaware is one of unusual interest, and
the Union men are making a noble fight.
They seem to feel that if they win, a new
career will be opened to the State, which,
strange to say, retains upon its statute
books provisions and inequalities of which
modern South Carolina would be ashamed.
Complete victory on the 6th of November
would give them the Governor, the Repre
sentative in Congress, and the Legislature.
The Legislature, in their bands, would re
peal the wretched laws that disgrace the
State and even the Copperheads that live
by them, give them one, and eventually
two Republican Senators. These are stakes
well worth fighting for, and we are not sur
prised that they have called forth all the
active and gifted Unionists of the little
Commonwealth. Among the active can
vassers we see the name of our townsman
H. Bucher Swoope, Esq., whose efforts arc
referred to in the most flattering terms by"
the Wilmington Commercial and other U
nion papers of the State, and it is a still
higher compliment to see that he is announ
ced to address a number of meetings be
tween now and the election on next Tuesday.
The Fenian Trials.
The trial of the Fenian iuvasionists of
Canada was commenced on the 25th of Oct.
at Toronto, Canada West. Colonel Lynch
and Rev. John M'Mahort were the first
tried. Both were convicted .and sentenced
to be hanged on the 3th of December.
The defence of M'Mahon is that he was on
his way to Montreal on private business
when, owing to his character as a Catholic
priest, he was impressed into the service of
the wounded and dying. If this is the ca-e,
his sentence, if carried into effect, will ap
Iear like impolitic and wanton severity. On
the receipt of the news of Col. Lynch's con
viction in New York city, much excitement
prevailed among the Fenians and meetings
were held with a view of soliciting the in
terposition of our Government to prevent
his execution. The trials are still progress
ing. . Republican Victory is West Virgin
ia. The election ia West Virginia has been
again carried unmistakably for the Union,
as maintained by a loyal Congress. The
majority is considerably in excess of that on
the vote to amend the State Constitution
last May. The Hon. Arther J. Boreman is
again chosen Governor, and Chester D.
Hubbard, the Congressman who refused his
increase of salary, is re-elected to Congress
from the 1st District, while there is every
probability that Messrs. B. II. Kitchen and
Daniel Polsey have been chosen in the
others. We have thus ended the eighth
political lesson since the 1st of September,
and there are many more to come which a
wise ruler should heed.
The Catholics and the Black Race.
At the recent Plenary Council at Baltimore,
one of the principal subjects for discussion
was the status of the black race in the
States, and in the church. . It was the uni
form opinion of the Southern bishops that
here was a very wide field for missionary ef
fort and that the church would be justified
in a liberal expenditure of men and money
in gathering the scattering sheep into the
Catholic fold. It was also agreed that there
should be entire liberty of political opinion
among clerical and lay members of the
church, a permission which will greatly in
ure to the cause of freedom.
The banner township of the Union is

At the late election the vote stood : Union,

Pennsylvania Items. '
. Allegheny County. During the past
week the United States District Court was
in session at Pittsburg. Martin L. Stewart,
of Brush valley, Indiana county, where hj
carried on a lucrative business at tanning
and merchandizing, was convicted ot pass
ing and having in his possession counterfeit
fractional currency, and sentenced to pay a
fine of $HKX) audio five years' imprison
ment in the penitentiary. Thomas Spencer
and William Perkrns, charged with manu
facturing counterfeit currency at Oakland,
were also tried and convicted. Spencer
was sentenced to pay a fine of $5,(XK) aud
be imprison! fifteen years in the peniten
tiary, and Perkins to pay a fine of $3,000
and ten years' imprisonment. ... On the
night of the 23d October, a white man
named Henry Ileddrick was shot on Fifth
street, Pittsburg, by a colored man named
Thomas Smith, and on the 26th died from
the effects of the wound. It seems that
Smith and another negro were quarreling in
front of the theatre, when Ileddrick, who
was the cornet player of the orchestra,
came out, and put his hands between them,
telling them not to fight Jnst then Smith
fired at the other negro, and unfortunately
one of the balls struck Mr. Ileddrick with
the fatal effect stated. Smith is in prison.

and child became unwell, and a physician
was sent for, who left some powders for the
mother for neuralgia and other powders for

herto the babe, which caused its death in a
few houis. '
Riot at Hagerstown, Maryland.
On the 19th of October, the Uncondi
tional Union men of Maryland held a mect
ing at Hagerstown, which is represented as
the largest political assemblage that has
ever been held in that place. The proces
sion was over five miles long, and the best
of feeling prevailed, until some time in the
afternoon, when an altercation occurred at
Stanhope's hotel between Chas. Gall and
Robert Sauds, "special"' policemen, and a
few Union men. . Mayor Biersling himself
was present with a revolver in his pocket.
The Mayor is a Rebel. sympathizer and was
elected by unregistered, or Rebel voters, and
the "special" . police be appointed on his
own responsibility, and, as the Union Board
of Councilmen refused to make any appro
priation for their payment, the funds to de
fray the expense were advanced by wealthy
Rebel citizens, trusting that they may be
I reimbursed hereafter. Threats and chal
lenges to ficht were made, and finally, after
the parties had got into the street, Gall and
Sands drew their revolvers and fired, appar
ently at random, into the crowd. A by
stander, Joseph Benner, who is janitor of
the Court House, was shot through the liver
The special policemen and their friends fell
back, firing as they retreated, and finally
took refuge in a house of ill-repute on the
corner of Jonathan and Church streets, kept
by a notorious blackleg named James Kuhn,
who formerly belonged to the special police
himself. This house has for a long time
been the headquarters of all thedesperadoes
of the place, and a favorite haunt of the
special police ; and in it a number of mus
kets and carbines had been collected and
were kept ready loaded for any emergency.
The police at once opened a destructive fire
from the "door and windows, wounding many
of the assailauts. In the meantime some
of the "Boys in Blue" had procured fire
arms, and as Charles Gall was firing from a
second-story window, he was struck in the
head by a rifle ball and fell head long upon
the pavement. A rush was then made upon
the house, and, to use a slang phraze, was
completely "gutted." The inmates made
their escape, with the exception of Robert
Sands, who was dragged forth, cruelly bea
ten, and then stabbed, it is thought fatally.
Not a window or door was left in the house,
and the furniture, stock of liquors, and gam
bling implements were thrown into the
streets. This ended the riot. A correspon
dent of the Baltimore American says "it is
clearly established by good testimony that
the business was premeditated by the John
son men," and all accounts seem to agree
that the disturbance was caused by the
policemen who afterwards fared so badly.
Just after President Jofinson became
President, and it was thought that General
Butler would be assigned to command at
Richmond, Va., a member of the Virginia
Legislature offered a resolution instructing
the Governor of the State to issue a proc
lamation to the people to bury their silver,
ete.-" The said member has just turned out
a defaulter to the sum of $50,000.

The Senatorial Trio from Vermont.,
For the. first time in the history of onr
country, a Legislature of a State has been
called upon to elect three United States
Senators op the same day. Last winter the
Green Mountain State lost both her faith
iul members of the upper House. The
Hon. Solomon Foot, President of the Sen
ate, died suddenly at the capital, and within
a month his colleague, Hon. Jacob Collamer,
followed in his footsteps. As the term of
Mr. Collamer would have expired on the
4th of March, 1S67, it devolved on the Leg
islature to elect his successor to fill the va
cancy occasioned by his death, and also that
caused by Mr. Foot's decease. This duty
wa performed on the 23d. Hon. L. P. Po
land was chosen to act during the ensuing
session. Mr. Poland was appointed by the
Governor to fill the vacancy, and did his
duty faithfully during the stormy sessions of
last wiuter. He is hardly as radical as
many would desire, yet it is well to have the
zeal of many tempered by wisdom and dis
cretion. Hon. George T. Edmunds was
elected to serve until March, 1869. He is
the present incumbent, and has also demon
strated his fitness for the position. He was
also the selection made by Governor Dilling
liam. But the best choice made, and the
one most calculated to cause' satisfaction
over the entire North, is that of Hon. J.
S. Morrill for the full term from Marcb,
1867. Mr. Morrill has been for many years
in the House, having been, we believe, re
elected five times. He has been a member
of the Committee on Ways and Means since
his entrance on public life, and at the com
mencement of the last session, on the retire
ment of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens from that
Committee, became it charruian. As an
occupant of that important position, he
proved himself an able statistician, an effi
cient financier, and a most valuable public
servant. .
