"S.J. ROW, KDITOB ASD PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 14, 1866.
THE HOYEMBES ELECTIONS.
The Republicans again Victorious!
The People Endorse Congress.
The summing up of the result of the elec
tions held on the 6th instant, exhibits an
overwhelming defeat of the Democracy, an
uatuistakeable condemnation of President
Johnson's "policy," and the most complete
endorsement of the Radical Congress.
In New York, Reuben E. Fenton, the
Republican candidate, is re-elected Gover
nor, over Hoffman, Democrat, by about
15,000 majority. In the 3d, 8th and 9th
District comprised in the city of New
York, Messrs. Humphrey, Dodge and Dar
ling, Republicans, were defeated ; but this
loss was made up by the election of Wm.
H. Robertson, Republican, in the place of
Wm. Radford, Democrat, in the 10th;
Charlei H. Van Wyck, Rep., in place of
Chariot H. Winfield, Dem., in the 11th;
and Thomas Cornell, Rep., in place of Ed
win N. Hubbell, Dem., in the 13th Dis
tricts. Hence, the Congressional Delega
tion from New York remains as now, twenty
Republicans to eleven Democrats. The Leg
islature is overwhelmingly Republican. New
York city gave Hoffman the enormous ma
jority of 47,200. Federal power and pat
ronage is responsible for a part of this, but
the fact that a Republican Legislature pass
ed, and Gov. Fenton sanctioned, astringent
law re'tricting the sale of liquors, including
lager, on Sundays, was not forgotten by the
Germans, who are given to festivities on
the Sabbath in the large cities, and a con
siderable number, perhaps from 3,000 to
5.000, voted against Gov. Fenton and his
friends, making a difference of double those
figures in the result. Notwithstanding so
large a vote was cast in the city for the Dem
ocratic candidates, the Republicans carried
the State by the majority given above.
New Jersey has done nobly. John Hill,
Rep., is elected to Congress in the 4th Dis
trict, over A. J. Rogers, Dem., and George
A. Halsey,'Rep., in the 5th District, over
E. V. R. Wright, Dem., whilst in the 2d
District Height, Dem., is elected in place
of Newell, Rep. The other two districts
are as heretofore. We have, however, a
clear gain of one Congressman in this State,
and as the Republicans have a majority of
the Legislature on joint ballot, they will
elect another U. S. Senator, to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the recent death of Hon.
Wm. Wright, Democrat.
In Missouri the Radicals gain one Con
gressman Gen. Wm. A. Pile instead of
John M. Hagan, Democrat, in the 1st dis
trict and lose two Blow in the 2d, and
Anderson in the 9th district. The State
gives t Republican majority.
Illinois gives the Radicals perhaps 58,
000 majority, and a gain of one Congress
man Edward Kitchell in the 11th district,
in place of Samuel S. Marshall, Democrat.
The balance of the Congressional delega
tion is unchanged.
Massachusetts, as a matter of course,
went Republican, the majority being about
60,000 in the State. All the Congressmen,
as heretofore, are Republican, among them
Gen. Butler and Gen, Banks.
Wisconsin, the home of Doolittle, sends
back all Radicals to Congress six in num
berand of course gives an immense Rad
ical majority in the State.
Kansas and Nevada also elect each a
Radical to Congress. The former gives
about 15,000 majority.
Michigan gives about 30,000 Republican
maj., and elects all five of the Congressmen.
Minnesota returns Windom and Connel
ly,the present Radical members, to Congress.
In Maryland we lose two Congressmen,
having elected but one out of the five. The
reasons for this loss are well understood.
Nothwithstanding the old Police Commis
sioners thwarted Gov. Swarm's schemes,
there b little doubt that thousands of per
sons, who, as Rebels or Rebel sympathizers,
under the Constitution of the State, were dis
franchised, by taking the "iron-clad oath,"
oast their votes fraudulently. Indeed, this is
o apparent, that John L. Thomas and J. J.
Stewart,th3 Radical canditates in the 2d and
3d Congressional districts, intend to contest
the seats of their Conservative competitors.
Delaware is also Conservative. Still, un
der the circumstances, the Union tuen, who.
made a glorious fight, did well enough in
that little State.
'.Taken as a whole, the Republicans have
achieved a most glorious and overwhelming
victory over the combined force of the lat
torday Democracy and Johnson Conserva
tives, and thereby secured such a majority
in Congress as will enable them to carry out
their reconstruction "policy," regardless of
fbe frowns or smiles of a faithlas Executive.
A Cop. Editor en the Rampage.
In "ye ancient borough" ot Bedford,
Pennsylvania, is printed a Copperhead or
gan, styled the Gazette. It is quite as bit
ter, but not nearly so beneficent in its ef
fects, as are, the waters of the "Springs,"
for which the place has become famous. It
is edited by one Myers the Honorable Ben
jamin Frauklin JMyers. Benjamin was a
great admirer and most ardent supporter of
Hiester Clymer, and his iidmiration and ar
dor were, probably, intensified by the fact
that, in the days of their political youth, to
their credit be it spoken, they were both old
line Whigs. But be this as it may, the
Honorable B. F. M. having, professedly at
least, a full and abiding faith in the invul
nerability of the latter-day Democracy, and
relying greatly upon the aid of a certain
Andrew Johnson, had determined, doubt
less to his own entire satisfaction, that Cly
mer was to be our ricxt Governor. Being
sadly mistaken, however, in his innocent ex
pectations, Benjamin, it seems, is intensely
disgusted with the result, and in order to re
lieve his surcharged mind, pitches into per
ons and things promiscuously, in a recent
number of his interesting sheet. He asserts
that he has it "upon the best of authority,"
which he might as well have named for the
benefit of the doubting, "that the Radical
"State Committee used a corruption fund
"in the late campaign in this State," just
think of that, ye honest voters, amounting,
Benjamin unqualifiedly avers, to "upward
"of $400,000!" Not a nickel less, but
"upward" of four hundred thousand dol
lars! A big "fund" that, certainly, or a
big story. It is either one, or it's the oth
er. To raise any question, however, on this
point is to doubt the veracity of Myers
the Honorable Benjamin Franklin Myers
which ice are not at all inclined to do not
at all, we declare most solemnly. We only
desire to call attenVion to the prominent fea
ture of the avowal of B. F. M. that a "cor
ruption fund" was "used" by the "Radical
State Committee !" As a matter of course
the "Democratic" Committee pure, guile
less managers that they are wouldn't have
any possible need for such a "fund." But,
then, it may be asked, why didn't Benjamin
go a step farther and plainly tell wlio was
"funded" by the "Radicals?" As the Re
publicans didn't require any such incentive
to vote their own ticket, evil-minded people
may conclude that Democrats yea, honest,
incorruptible Democrats, that B. F. M.
would ordinarily have them to be had been
persuaded, by the use of a "corruption
fund," to abandon their party ! Now, it is
hoped that nobody for a moment supposes
that ice think so. It is true we have al
ways attributed to Democrats the average
human weakness for money, but we cannot
convince ourselves that they have fallen in
to such unparallelled and soul-perilling
wickedness as Myers would have us to be
lieve! So, however, it seems to be, and
Benjamin even knows where the "funds"
came from. "Most of the money," he saj-s,
"was raised by the Radical merchants of
"Philadelphia, for which," B. F. M. mena
cirgly insists, "let them he duly remembered ' '
But these are not the only persons who come
under the ban of the Honorable Benjamin
Franklin M's dire displeasure. He also pro
claims that he hasn't "any too exalted an
"opinion of the merchants of that city who
"s yle themselves Democrats." They, on
on the other hand, it appears, failed to
"come to time" when the "needful" was
required ; for "we know," says Myers, "that
"when the Chairman of the Democratic
"State Committee was trying to obtain
"funds, for the mere payment of the ordi
nary expenses of the Committee," it will
scarcely be conjectured that a man like Chair
man Wallace would use money for any "cor
rupt" purposes, "they gave him the cold
"shoulder," unfeeling wretches that they
must have been, "and within three weeks
"of thu election," continues B. F. M., "he
"was without sufficient money to pay the
expenses of his printer." Was such
heartless abandonment of a "Chairman of
the Democratic State Committee," ever be
fore witnessed ! Such depravity is really
frightful to contemplate, and we can now
understand why Mr. Wallace's friends, es
pecially the printers it must not be suppo
sed that this has any reference to Myers
try to throw all the odium ot their defeat
upon his devoted shoulders.
But, laying pleasantry aside: It is scarce
ly worth the while to say that the allegation
of the Gazette that a "corruption fund" of
$400,000 had been raised by the Radical
State Committee, is mere inoonshine,having
no existence except in the fertile imagina
tion of the editor of that paper. It is fair
to presume, however, that he does know
something about the affairs and moral condi
tion of his own party. : It is probable, there
fore, that there is good foundation for what he
says about Mr. Wm. A. Wallace, 'Chairman
of the Democratic State Committee,' "trying
to obtain funds" for electioneering purposes.
It is also likely to be true that in this effort
he had the countenance and ood wishes of
President Johnson, who permitted the Gov
ernment patronage to be prostituted in the
most shameful manner for the benefit of the
Democratic party in this State. Indeed, it
is too well known to be successfully contra
dicted that, with this object in view, de
mands were made on assessors and collectors
of Mitornal revenue, for sums as high as
$500 each postmasters and other federal
office holders in proportion by persons in
the interest of the coalition. If the mer-1
chants of Philadelphia, "who style them
selves Democrats," did not respond, no one
is verdant enough to believe that any fault
attaches to the Chairman of their State
Committee for the failure to "obtain funds."
And if the plain intimation of the editor of
the Gazette is correct, that the Democratic
party is largely made up of purchaseable
material, the public are more indebted for
that interesting piece of information to the
ill-temper of Mr. Myers, produced by the
defeat of his favorite candidate, than to any
innate desire on his part to expose the weak
ness that pervades that once respectable, but
now hopelessly demoralized and discomfitted
political organization.
Gov. Swann and President Johnson.
On the 7th November, the morning after
the election, Gov. Swanh made a speech
in Baltin.ore, claiming the result in Mary
laud as a vindication of his "policy," and
threatened that he would use all his pow
er to punish the men who had outraged and
defied the Executive of the State. He sta
ted that he had been in daily conference
with President Johnson, who not only was
ready to send United States troops to Balti
moie, but had given the Governor carte
blanche to call them out, had a contingency
occurred for so doing. He was glad the oc
casion had not risen, as in thus accepting
military aid to sustain his own authority,be
might be placing a weapon in the hands of
the Radicals to be used against the Presi
dent as a ground of impeachment. As the
Constitution of the United States, which
makes the President Commander-inChief,
gives him no right to delegate his authority
to the Governor of any State, it is thought
Mr. Swann very wisely forbore using the
power that was thus placed at his disposal.
As it is, the course of Mr. Johnson in re
gard to the Baltimore trouble is likely to be
investigated by Congress after it assemble
Massacre of Americans.
In North-Eastern Asia is a country called
Corea, of which little is known. Itisnom
inally tributary to China, and is inhabited
by a semi-barbarous people, extreme'3 jeal
ous of foreigners, with whom they bold but
a very limited intercourse. The French, it
is stated, have declared war against Corea,
doubtless foroutrages committed on subjects
of France, and it looks now a3 if these peo
ple would also get into serious trouble with
the United States, for a Cable dispatch re
ceived a few days since, announces that for
ty Americans had been murdered by the Co
reans. No details of this horrible outrage
have yet come to hand, but it seems that
the American vessel "General Sherman"
got ashore at Corea, and that forty persons
belonging to the ship were massacred by the
natives. We take it for granted that the
Commander of the United States squadron
in the East will promptly seek satisfaction
for this horrible outrage, the perpetrators
of which should certainly have inflicted up
on them the most condign punishment.
The Next Congress.
The N. Y. Tribune has made up a com
parative list ot the present and the next
Congress, by which it appears that the Rad
icals gained six Members in the elections
held this Fall. The last House ofRepre
sentatives was composed of 122 Radical Re
publicans and 41 Democrats and Conserva
tives. The same States, at the elections al
ready held, return 12S Republicans and 35
Democrats and Conservatives. We may
lose one or two Members in the elections to
be held in 1867, but in case Colorado an 1 Ne
braska should be admitted, this loss will be
balanced by those States. Under any state
of circumstances, however, the Fortieth
Congress will be more largely Republican
than the Thirty-Ninth. The Senate will
probably stand 41 Radicals to 10 Democrats.
The "Way They Did It. "
Baltimore city was carried at the election
last week by the "Conservatives." The
manner in which men. who bad been in the
Rebel service or were active Secessionists at
home, took the "iron clad oath," and thus
managed to vote, was calculated to confound
persons that believe there is pun'shment for
perjury either in this or the next world.
They probably acted on Reverdy Johnson's
opinion that the oath was "unconstitution
al" and therefore might be falsely taken.
It is also said that cm ployees of the Custom
House took possession of some precincts,
and with guns and revolvers deterred Union
men from voting. Is it to be wondered at,
therefore, that the supporters of "my poli
cy" succeeded in over-riding the Radicals in
Baltimore? We think not.
The Emperor Maxamilian was rennrt-
s
ed to have left the city of Mexico on the
23d of October, after having verbally re
signed in favor of Gen. Bazaine. Advices
from Europe, however, state that Maxamil
ian is to remain in Mexico, while the French
troops are to be withdrawn in a body. Mex
ican affairs certainly are in a muddle.
"No Taxation without Representa
tion," is what the South insists should be
the rule in this country, and yet, we see it
stated, that the Georgia Legislature.elected
exclusively by whites, recently passed a law
levying taxes on the blacks for general rev
enue purposes, and that the Assessors and
Collectors are now enforcing it.
Th Georgia Tiesislature has reiortaA
Constitutional Amendment by a vote of i
The Contest in Delaware.
Our Union friends in Delaware, under the
lead of their distinguished Chairman, Hod.
Samuel M. Harrington, made a noble, though
unsuccessful effort to redeem their State.
They ought not to feel disheartened, but
should buckle on the armor and try it again.
They had many insuperable obstacles to en
counter. The two Southern counties of the
State swarm with Rebels, as violent as any
in South Carolina, and we see by the Debv
ware State Journal that large numbers were
imported to swell the Copperhead majorities
in Kent and Sussex. We sincerely hoped
the Union men would have been successful
not that we wanted the single Congressman
from that State for National purposes, for
we have enough without him, but we did
want to see the Diamond State redeemed,
the pillory and the whipping-post those
remains of barbarism blotted from her
statute book, and her fair fields opened up
to Northern enterprise and free labor.
The manner in which the late canvass was
conducted, led us to hope for a different re
sult, notwithstanding the State went for
McClellan in 1864.. In addition to the able
and effective corps of local speakers constant
ly at work, the State was thoroughly canvas
sed by a number of distinguished gentlemen
from other States. Senator Wilson, of
Massachusetts, did noble service. Among
the rest, as our readers know, was H. B.
Swoope, Esq., of this place, whose services
are acknowledged by the Wilmington Com
mercial of the 5th instant, in most flattering
terms. Speaking of the meeting just before
the election, at the Institute Hall, in the
city of Wilmington, the Commercial says ;
' This was the largest indoor meeting of
the campaign. The spacious Hall of the
Institute was crowded with people. A con
siderable number of the audience were la
dies, who enjoyed the speeches all the bet
ter, perhaps, because a political meeting was
somewhat of a novelty to them. Hon. H.
Bucher Swoope delivered a magnificent
speech, or rather an oration, which was an
honor to him.-elt, and a pleasure to his au
dience. He was listened to throughout
with that earnest attention and entire sym
patic which is a distinguishing characteris
tic of Republican audiences. He finished
his speech with an eloquent peroration
which was greeted at its conclusion with long
continued and enthusiastic applause. We
cannot allow this opportunity to pass with
out thanking Mr. Swoope for the splendid
service he has done us in this campaign. No
better evidence of the value of bis speeches
could be offered than the universal desire ot
all who have heard him to hear him agf in.
Prominent Democrats have seen that be has
damaged their prospects more than any oth
er speaker in the whole campaign, while the
Union men have so high an appreciation of
his ability and services that the very men
tion of his name is received vrith cheers.
Once more we thank him, and in the name
of the loyal men ot Delaware congratulate
old Clearfield on having such a son."
Nineteenth Congressional District.
At last we are enabled to lay before our
readers the official figures of the Nineteenth
Congressional District, from which it ap
pears that Hon. Glenni W. Scofield's ma
jority is 2,62, beirg a gain of eight hun
dred and eighty-eight on his majority two
years' ago. The public are a little curious
to know whether this increase is to be at
tributed to the "popularity" of 31 r. Scott,
his Democratic competitor, of which the lat
ter's friends were so fond of boasting before
the election. Can the editor of the Clear
field Republican tell ? The following is the
vote of the several counties :

Ex-Provisional-Governor Perry, of
South Carolina, has written a letter of min
gled pluck, bombast and pathos, in which
he avers that though the Southern States
may be ruined, they cannot be dishonored
and disgraced save by their own acts.
Hence, he opposes the Constitutional A
mendment. The Governor, it seems to us,
does this at unnecessary expense of sensi
bility. Was the South disgraced by ratify
ing a previous Constitutional Amendment
repudiating the Rebel debt, and, in short,
accepting what Southern statesmen politely
term the "situation?" supposing, of course
that all these things were done in good
faith. Was it so much easier to swallow
the big and bitter dose prescribed by Presi
dent Johnson than to take the mild one of
fered by a Radical Congress ? Or has the
President so far poisoned the patient that
he don't know his medicine?
Judge Reagan, of Texas, a member of
the Cabinet of Jeff. Davis, has written a
letter to Gov. Throckmorton, in which he
urges the people of Texas to give suffrage
to the negroes on the same terms as it is
riven to the whites. He warns the neonle
M. S
of the State that the North is in earnest in
demanding suffrage for the blacks, and says
that those who oppose negro suffrase in this
qualified form elect to force universal ne
gro sunrage on tne country, and ought to be
and will be held responsible bv our people
for it when it comes ; and they ought no
longer to be allowed to shield themselves un
der pretended ignorance from the conse
quences of criminal demagogue ry.
The Synod of the New-School Presby
terian Church, at its session in St. Louis
last week, passed resolutions approving the
action of Congress . in resisting the usurpa
tions of the President and indorsing the
Constitutional Amendments. They also
"deprecated the conduct of the President
in his late journey, and that of the local offi
cers who received him, as calculated to in
troduce intemperate habits into the land,
to demoralize youth, promote dissipation
and encourage intemperance." These cler
gymen represent the morality aqd patriot
ism of an immense section of the Missis
sippi Valley. The force of their just rebuke
cannot be weakened by nick-naming them
"howling dervishes," or "pulpit shriekers.'
The Fenians. John Slevin and Wm.
nayden, during the past week, were convic
ted by the Court that is engaged in the trial
of the Fenian, raiders, at Toronto, Canada,
and sentenced to be hanged on the 13th of
December. The Toronto papers, probably
speaking by authority, say that the sentence
of death, passed on those Fenians who have
been convicted, will be remitted, but that
the punishment will be severe. Ther.e has
been great activity at the headquarters of
Stephens in New York city, and it is ru
mored that he has another expedition ready
to strike John Bull in some unexpected
quarter. We shall see.
In the Supreme Court of Connecticut
there has recently been decided a curious
case. A man and his wife having been
killed by a railroad accident, the heirs of
each brought suit and recovered four thous
and dollars in each ease. The money ob
tained for the death of the wife went to her
heirs, and the question before the Supreme
Court was whether the foui thousand dollars
recovered by the death of the man should
go to his or his wife's heirs. She having
survived him a few hours, the court decided
that the wife's heirs should have the money.
Who will say that the world doesn't move,
since Massachusetts has elected two black
men to the Legislature, and the New "i 01k
city Democracy a black-leg and prize-fighter
John Morrissev to Congress. There is,
however, not enough of either stripe to do
anv harm. .

'It is an exceedingly rich book, containing nrr
matter of interest than all the novels that l.jrr

done, or written by Rebels, as well as L'nio-i'-,.
most judiciously selected, compact'? pat tese'h
er. and handsomely printed. It is sold only i
subscription; but those who hiiTe a chanca to
subscribe and don't will make a blunder."
The New York Evmins Post says : '-Thebo'.'i

ic sentiment, and strange adventures. It li

and gives a better and more, vivid picture of lie
times we have just passed than any of them It
is just the Look for "a rainy day at a country int."
