CLEARFIELD, PA., DEC. 19, 1866.'
Superintendent's Convention.
The convention of County Superinten
dents which met at Harrisburg, the first
week in December, seems to have been a
complete success. Fifty-three out of eixty
five superintendents were present, and a
most healthy and earnest spirit pervaded the
entire body during its deliberations. Many
improvements in the school system were re
commended for Legislative action, among
which the following are the most important :
. 1st. An increase of the minimum length
of school term from four to six months.
2d. A corresponding increase of the State
appropriation.
3d. Abrogation of all county professional
certificates by the 1st of July next, and
granting no certificates by the county su
perintendent" for a longer term than five
years.
4th. Uniformity of text books in coun
ties.
5th. Reduction of the number of school
directors and paying them.
6th. Making the law now existing in eight
counties, appropriating $200 of public
money to tne aid oi county institutes gener
al the institute to be held one week, and
the teachers to be allowed the time to at
tend.
Some of the older members of the Con
vention expressed themselves highly grati
fied at the improvement in Superintendents
over those of former times a fact, which
has a tendency to increase a greater interest
among the people generally, in the common
Hchool system.
England's Lethargy.
The English government appears at pres
ent to have fallen into a dangerous condi
tion of catalepsy. All Europe appears to
be arming for a war. The armies of the
principal powers are being strengthened by
conscription, and wonderful activity prevails
in their several war and navy departments,
But the K'lglish array cannot le rained
above 50,000, with an uncertain contingent of
volunteers and militia. There is no organi
zation to feed or take care of what force
might be depended upon. Parliament does
not vote a conscription and the people, es
pecially the disfranchised manufacturing
classes and the Irish, would not submit to it.
There seems to be a general want of rigor
in the central life, and the colonies are al
ways an expense and no source of materia!
aid in men or money. England is rich.
Foreign governments can borrow from her
heavy bankers, but her own railroads can
not. Public works are stopped for want of
funds. England is no longer an influence
on the Continent, and her prestige has al
most wholly departed.
Greenbacks vs. National Notes.
The last New York Bank Statement ex
hibits certain humors in currency circula
tion. Greenbacks are shown to bold a nre
ference in public estimation, both at the
est and South. Remittances from the
South are almost exclusively in greenbacks
as that currency is wholly used in moving
the cotton and tobacco. The West remits
to New York National Bank notes, as far
as possible, and retains the greenbacks
Thus the greenbacks are getting scarce in
the metropolis, and the country currency
accumulates. The last bank statement
shows continued liquidation, the deposits
having declined $5,212,353. The loans
have fallen off $2,391,641. The curious
fact is the continued decline in the legal
tenders, the amount of which is now down
to $60,946,857, showine that the reserve
has fallen more than thirty-one millions
since laet September.
The "Eump" Congress.
The" Clearfield Republican, and the Cop
perhead papers generally, have been in the
habit of styling Congress 'The Rump."
To all such we would most affectionately
commend the opening sentence of President
Johnson's message, to wit :
"After a brief interval the Congress of
the United State resumes its annual legis
lative labors. -
Perhaps, the late elections acted as an
"eye opener" to A. J., and hence he no
longer designates Congress as "a body hang
ing on the verge of the Government, as
"suming to be a Congress ;" and, it is to be
hoped, when the blind "bats" of the Cop
perhead press shall have become somewhat
accustomed to the bright light that was
shed over the land by the jecent verdict of
the people, they too will discover that the
"Ramp" is really "the Congress of the li
nked States."
Department reports show that the alleged
ingratitude of republics is a sin not yet fairly
chargeable to this Government. As an ex
ample the War Department has expended
$1,144,791 for the burial of 341,670 soldiers.
The Cemeteries of the brave dead are scat
tered through seventeen Military Departments.
Proceedings of Congress.
The House Military Committee, had un
der the consideration the question of allow
ing the Government to issue duplicate dis
charges where they have been lost or de
stroyed without the fault of the soldiers.
The Committee are of opinion that some
legislation ought to be adopted to enable
such to receive their bounty, the War De
partment havine refused to pay any addi
tional bounty unless they present their dis
charge. To show the extent to which sol
diers' discharges have been lost, 18,000
went to the Dead Letter Office during the
last year.
. Last week Mr. Stevens introduced a bill
into the House, which created quite a sen
sation. It proposes to undo the President s
v ork of Rebel reconstruction in North
Carolina, and reorganize that State on a
sound Union basis. The bill provides for
the assembling of a Convention chosen by
all the male citizens of age who can read
and write, and in this and other details pre
sents a radical plan for the general recon
struction of the South on the basis of im
partial suffrage. It was referred to the ap
propriate committee.
A bill was introduced into the House pro
hibiting the present civil governments in
the lately revolting States, and erecting
them into temporary and territorial govern
ments. The executive powers to be vest ed
in the Governors, who are to hold their of
fices until successors shall be duly qualified
the people to form State governments un
der certain rules, and the electors to be con
fined to the loyal population.
A bill has passed the House, fixing the
time of the meeting of the Fortieth Con
gress at noon on the 4th of March, 1867.
This measure seems necessary, as at that
time the duties of the present Congress will
expire leaving the country, virtually, with
out a legislative body until the next meeting
of Congress, unless this change be made.
The Congress of the United States passed
the District of Columbia. Suffrage bill by a
vote of 32 to 5 in the Senate,and 118 to 45 in
the IIou.e. It is presumed that the Presi
dent will veto the bill to preserve his con
sistency, and that Congress will pass it over
the veto, as there is no longer any violent
opposition to the measure.
The House Military committee had under
consideration the bounty bill reported at the
last session, giving $100 a year to every sol
dier for his term of service, deducting the
local bounty. The law which was passed,
gave $100 to soldiers over two years in the
service, and $50 to those under that time.
The House Judiciary committee have been
investigating the case of Hon. C. V. Cul
ver, member from Penn' a. The Committee
will likely recommend the issuing of a war
rant to be placed in the hands of the Ser
geant-at-arms. to bring Culver before the
House.
Memorials have been presented from
loyal citizens of Louisiana, asking Congress
to supersede the present political organiza
tions in Louisiana, and secure them protec
tion in their lives, liberty, and property.
The bill, to admit Nebraska as a State,
passed the Senate by a vote of 21 to 11.
Affairs in Mexico.
Late advices state that the evacuation of
the large Mexican towns by the French
troops is now progressing rapidly that the
seaport town of Mazatlan was left by them
on Nov. 11th, when some hard fighting
took place, the French losing heavily in
in men and officers that the Republican
government now again holds possession of
all the important ports on the Pacific coast.
except Tepic that San Luis Potosi was to
be evacuated on the 22d November and
Zacatccas on the 27th and that in no case.
thus far, have the Imperialists made an at
tempt to hold an important town after the
departure of the French. It is also said
that Maximilian, having received $25,000.-
000 from the clergy, with a pledge of an
equal sum every year, as well as $10,000,000
from the merchants of Mexico, has issued
a proclamation declaring that he will stay
in the country and shed the last drop of his
blood for the defense of the Mexican na
tionally. It is scarcely expected that this
proclamation will retard the repossession of
the whole country by the Republican forces
A rumor is current that Porfirio Diaz and
Ortega had given in their 'adhesion to the
Empire, but no credit whatever is given to
this report.
Thus it will be seen that it is rather dnnU
ful if Maximilian has left Mexico, as here
tofore reported; and that affairs in that.
country are as much in a muddle as ever.
hat the end will be, no one can now an
ticipate. Time alone will tell. "
Confession of Scrratt. A cable dis
patch, dated Home, Dec 11th, says that the
man who gave the information which led to
to the arrest of John II. Surratt,is a French
Canadian, named St. Marie. He was for
merly a Union soldier, and served in the Pa
pal Zouaves. Both he and Surratt were in
love with the same lady in Washington, and
oi. iuane betrayed burratt through jealousy.
He says that Surratt told him that Lincoln's
assassination was a preconcerted nlot : rW
he (Surratt) carried direct from Jeff. Da
vis Cabinet, at Richmond, the rrinr,al 0.
tails of the plot to Washington, and that
the assassination was not only in accordance
with the desires of the Davis Cabinet, hnt
was done by their directions and orders.

Of local organizations, brought into ex
istence by the war, none at any time occu
pied the honorable prominence gained by
this patriotic body. Its important labors
and influence, in concentrating and direc
ting public sentiment through the publica
tion of loyal documents, by its liberal ex
penditures for the organization of war regi
ments, by the encouragement which it gave
to the public men who have enjoyed the
princely hospitality of its splendid house,
by the prestige of the many distinguished
names on its roll, the League has written a
chapter in the history of the rebellion whit h
deserves to have been written by the "city
which boasts possession of the Independence
Hall of 1776. The League held its annual
meeting on the 16th Dec, and the Secreta
ry, the gifted American poet, George II.
Boker, read the annual report, showing how
much the Lengue had done toward carrying
the State at the last election. The losses
by the recent fire have been repaired. Two
hundred and -eighty-nine members have
been chosen during the year, making the
aggregate list 1,970. The income of the
League amounted to $85,000; expenses,
$67,000. The report concludes as follows:
The general prosperity of the League was
never more flattering than at present.
. ...
By the last ccnsu3, the population of
Pennsylvania was 2,905,215. By the usual
ratio of voters to the entire population we
estimate the entire number. At the late
election for Governor 507,370 votes were
cast. Allowing one vote for every six and
a half of the people,this would give 3,883,
000 as our present population, an increase,
say in eight years, of 976,000. By the same
method New York appears to have gained
9-,000, in the same period. This would
give to these two States a population of
eight and a half million an increase of cne
million and three quarters.
The Test Oath. The Copperhead pa
pers are publishing a statement to the effect
that the United States Supreme Court had
decided five to four, that the test, or iron
clad oath is unconstitutional. A late "Wash
ington dispatch denies this. The story
grew out of a permission asked for by two
Texas Attorneys to re-argue the Constitu
tionality of the test oath, which was refused.
No decision has been made adverse to the
oath itself.
