CLEARFIELD, PA., JAN. 9, 1867.
Meeting of the Legislature.
The Pena'a Legt-ilatare assembled at Har
risbnrg, on Tuesday, January 1st. The
Senate elected Iais W. flail, of Blair Co.,
Speaker, and Geo. W. Haramersley, ot
Philadelphia, Chief Clerk. In the House,
CoL J. P. Glass, of - Pittsburg, was elected
Speaker; and A. W. Benedict! of Hunting
don, Chief Clerk. On Wednesday, Gov.
Curtin sent in his annual message, which is
a plain, business-like document. The Gov
ernor felicitates the people on the healthy
condition of the State's finances ; recom
mends a favorable consideration of the Con
stitutional amendment ; that provision be
made for the relief of poor soldiers ; that a
law be passed authorizing the election of Ju
ry Commissioners ; and the passage of a
General Railroad Act ; and calls attention
to the education and support of soldier's or
phans, our Common School System, State
Lunatic Assylutu, Military affairs, Antie
tam Cemetery, &c. A reading of the mes
sage will, however, give a better idea of its
contents. It will be found in full on our
outside.
U. S. Senator. The excitement on the
United States Senator question is getting
considerably above fever heat at Harrisburg.
Tho prominent competitors are Gen. Came
ron, Gov. Curtin, and Hon. Thaddeus Ste
vens. In fact they may be regarded as the
only candidates. "Log-rolling" of the most
interesting character, is going on briskly,
and "dodges" of all sorts are unhesitatingly
resorted to, sometimes to the detriment of
one, and again to the injury of another oi
the aspirants. A tew days since, it was re
ported that Gov. Curtin had withdrawn from
the contest, and that his friends would go
for Mr. Stevens in order to compass the de
feat of Gen. Cameron. Despatches in yes
terday's papers contradict this, and the
'cowardly attempt" to thus damage the
Governor' ivnea, w oibtoJ upon Foidcj
of the Philadelphia Irets, and the friends
of "Andy" assert that he is the strongest
man in the field. How this is, we do not
undertake to say ; but as the Republican
caucus is to be held on the evening of the
10th, all disputes on that score will soon be
put to rest. Till then, it is best to "keep
cool." The election takes place on the 15ih.
Oca Mexican Mission. Hon. Lewis D.
Campbell, who set out with Gen. Sherman
for Mexico, after coasting about tor some
time, brought up in Xow Orleans, where he
is sojourning literally waiting for some
thing to turn up. It is said Gen. Sherman
has been ordered to join him there, to be
ready for a fresh start at any moment. If
the reports are true, noboJy in Mexico looks
upon this mission without d'strnst, and it is
pretty evident that Gen. Sherman regards
the business with distrust. Probably Camp
bell is well enough suited as it gives him
employment and pretty good pay to say
nothing of a sojourn in New Orleans at this
gay and festive season.
What Next? We Bee it stated that
"the colored people of Bellefonte recently
held a fair and festival for the purpose of
raising funds to establish a colored school
after the expiration of the present term of
the public schools." This is an innovation
on "white men's" rights that should de
mand the immediate attention of our neigh
bor George ; for, should intellectual suffrage
ever prevail in this country, it would be hor
rible to find "niggers" coming into compe
tition with "Dimmycrats" at the polls!
Schools are hard on the Democracy.
Qrderlt, Eh? Three hundred freed
men have been murdered in Georgia in lit
tle less than a year, and of the three hun
dred murderers duly complained of, only six
have been arrested by the civil authorities,
and not one has been convicted. This im
portant fact has- not, as yet, been noted by
our neighbor George in his "Greeley Re
form" column a matter he should not over
look, even if the murders have been com
mitted by his "dear Southern brothers."
The Ocean Yacht Race. The Henri
etta arrived at Cowes at 5.45 p. m., on the
25th, having made the run in thirteen days
and twenty-two hours, mean time. The
Fleetwing arrived at 2 a. m., on the 26th,
and the Vesta at 3.30 a. m. on the 26th.
Since the arrival of the above yachts in En
gland, a race between the Henrietta and an
English yacht has been arranged, to take
place in August next.
Oh, Dear ! It is stated that one of the
negroes elected to the Legislature in Mass.,
was elected by the Democratic party, and
represents the strongest Democratic district
in the State. What a generation of vipers
f be copperheads are J . . i
The Supreme Court on Military Tribunal.
The opinion of the Supreme Court in the
case of L. P. Milligan, the Indiana conspi
rator, on a certificate of division ot' opinion
between the Judges of the Circuit Court of
the district of Indiana, has been officialy
promulgated. The opinions of the Judges
of the Circuit Court was opposed on the
three questions, viz:
First On the facts stated in the petition
aa l on exhibits, ought a writ of habeas cor
pus to be issued ?
Second On the fact stated, ought said
Milligan to belis charged from custody?
Third Whether the Military Commis
sion had jurisdiction legally to try and sen
tence Milligan ?
Judge Davis, who delivered the opinion of
a magistrate of the court, said that it was
clear that the writ ought to issue, and that
Milligan was entitled to be discharged, that
the trial by military commission was contra
ry to law; that as a citizen of Indiana,
which was not in rebellion, and he not being
in military service, was amenable only to
civil law, and not military law; that one of
the plainest ot the Constitutional provisions
was violated when he was tried by a court
not authorized and ordained by law, and an
other guaranty of freedom was broken when
he was denied a trial by jury. The first two
questions were decided affirmatively, and the
third uegatively.
Cheif Justice Chase and three others dis
sented as to the third question, holding it to
be within the power of Congress, in time of
danger or invasion, to determine in what
States or districts persons may be tried by
military tribunals. In this, however, they
were overruled by the majority of the court.
In the course of their decision it is re
marked that the Constitution is a law for
rulers and peple equally in war and in peace,
and covers with the shield of its protection
all classes of men, at all times and under all
circumstances, and no doctrine involving
more pernicious consequences was ever in
vented by the wit of man than that any of
its provisions can be suspended during any
of the great exegincies of the government.
Such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy and
despotism, and the theory of necessity, on
which it is based, is false.
Gambling on a large Scale. It is
stated in a letter from Washington, appa
rently on good authority, that Hon. Ben.
Wood, of New York lottery-policy renown,
and Hon. John Morrissey,. ex-pugilist, had a
grand trial ot skill at the scientific game of
faro, at Morrissey's rooms inWashington,on
Wednesday night of week before last. The
two gamblers played all night, and the re-
nult wta tH.t lorrureey loat. ftxl Wrwttl won
about $ 1 40,000 at this single sitting ! Wood
is a New York Senator Morrissey a Con
gressman elect and both are Democrats
of the pure Copper persuasion. Nice law
makers,tbey are,to be sure !
Can'tSwallow the Dose. The recent
advocacy of negro suffrage by such leading
organs of the Democracy as the Chicago
Times, Albany Argus, Boston Post, &c,
seems to astonish some of the rebel journals,
down South. The Richmond Examiner,
in particular, protests against it most earn
estly, and at the close of its energetic remon
strance, bitterly remarks : "Whenever we
get our stomachs ready for the dose, we will
take it from the Radicals in preference to
the democrats. We prefer a regular doctor
any day to a quack, or one who has just set
up in business."
Righteous Sentence.-A member of
the N. J. Legislature, convicted of selling
his vote, has been sentenced to imprison
ment for one year and forever precluded
from holding office. A few examples of
this kind in our own Legislature might have
a wholesome effect. The trouble is, that
while the existence of bribery is notorious,
the fact is not easy to prove, but in all ca
ses where it can be proved, the offender
should be deprived of his rights of citizen
ship. Failed to Get In. The Lock Haven
Republican states that"an attempt wasmade
on Sunday night, Dec. 23d, to rob the Post-
office" in that place. Who the fellow was
that attempted thus to take possession of
the Lock Haven po.stoffice for a brieT period,
is not known, but it is presumed to have
been one of the hungry Cops who are at
present so exceedingly anxious to be appoint
ed postmaster. A-hem !
JcstSoI "The Clinton Democrat now
publicly advocates the manufacture and use
of intoxicating beverages." So says the
Lock Haven Republican. And why should
he not? Intoxicating drinks have always
been reputed as an assential clement in ral
lying the so-called Democracy to the polls.
Stop the manufacture of liquors, and their
"slogan" of battle is gone. What d'ye say,
Bowman ?
Won't Save ' Em. The Round Table
makes this good point : "The Rebels, just
when their cause was caving in, proposed
to arm the negroes ; the Democrats, now
that they are in the very death struggle,
propose to give the negro the ballot. The
negro did not save the rebels, and he will
not save the Democratic party.
Gov. Geary's Appointments. Gov.
Geary has appointed Hon. Benjamin H.
Brewster, of Philadelphia, Attorney fionl
eral; and Col. Frank Jordan, of Bed farrl
Secretary of State.
"Washington City Gosdp.
" A bill is before Congress to sell all the gold
in the treasury over fifty millions to the high
est bidder, giviDg thirty days public notice.
The Senate Committee on Territories will
probably provide for the immediate admis
sion of Nebraska on condition that there
shall be no distinction in the enjoyment of
political rights on account of race or color.
The same is applicable to Colorado.
It is true, as has been stated, that Assis
tant Secretary Seward has gone on a Gov
ernment vessel to Hayti to negotiate for a
United States naval station on that Island.
His report will be niaJe to the President,
and by him transmitted to Congress.
The President has vetoed the bill confer
ring the right of suffrage on blacks in the Dis
trict of Columbia. . The Senate at once pas
sed it over the veto by a vote of 29 yeas to
10 nays. It will undoubtedly pass the
House also by a two-thirds vote at least.
A joint resolution submitted to the House
provides for four territorial governments for
the late State of Texas, to be called Brazo
nla, Arazos. Sabine and Lincoln, to be or
ganized on the principle of other territories.
The public lands of the State are to be de
clared the property of the United States.
It is pretty well settled that Congress will
decide r gainst any inflation of the currency
beyond the amount in circulation. It is the
judgment of the House Committee on Bank
ing and Currency that mo such increase should
be made, while the sense of a majority of
the House, it is claimed, will coincide in this
decision.
General Grant had an interview with Mr.
Stanton on Wednesday, upon the effect of
the recent decision of the Supreme Court
upon Military Commissions. It renders
the Freedmen's Bureau and Civil Rights
bills nullities, and while it is allowed to stand,
orders must be issued to prevent any conflict
of authority under it.
It is alleged that un Jer the recent decis
ion of the Supreme Court a large number of
army officers are liable to arrest at any mo
ment, for having acted on military commis
sions ; and it is furthermore alleged that
President Johnson claims that the constitu
tionality of the amendment abolishing sla
very will be declared a nullity.
The President is said to have conferred
with the Judges of the Supreme Court in
reference to the positions assumed by Con
gress toward tho Southern States. When
he announced to Commissioner Weathcrby,
from South Carolina, that the Supreme
Court would declare the amendment uncon
stitutional, it i3 thought he spoke advisedly.
, The IImis hill to rpal so much of the
act of 1862 as enlarges the pardoning pow
er of the President was passed on Jan. 4th
by the Seuate Yeas, 27 ; Nays, 7. This
is the bill which the House passed on the
first day of its te-sion. The difference on this
question is not to be taken, we trust, as a
measure of the promptness hereafter to be
shown by the Senate in important legisla
tion. It will be recollected that at the lat ses
sion, the House Judiciary Committee made
a partial report on the complicity of Jeff.
Davis in the plot to assassinate President
Lincoln. They intend to continue their in
quiries and to summon John II. Surratt be
fore them the moment he arrives here, with
a view of taking his evidence in the premi
ses. It has been deemed best to do this be
fore he is brought to trial.
The impeachment movement was thor-
oughly discussed on the 5th in Congression-1
al and other Quarters, and is seemirnrlr
i r
gaining ground. Those in favor of it find
that it ohly requires a majority to carry the
resolution for a committee, and to adopt the
articles of impeachment. Representative
Newell, of New Jersey, has drawn up char
pes against the President, which may be ta
ken on the whole as covering those presen
ted by other members.
The N ew Orleans Congrepsional party,
who- returned to Washington on Jan. 3d,
speak in high terms of their trip. The Con
gressmen whe went on it are represented as
being unanimous against exacting from the
South any other terms but those contained
in the Constitutional Amendment, and Sen
ator Wade adds, that judging from his in
tercourse with the people, the amendment
will be ratified by the first of March. The
rebel Generals Forrest o ndCheatham favor it.
Mr. Stevens is preparing important meas
ures to be introduced into Congress, looking
to radical changes in Executive and Judicial
quarters. The recent decision of the Su
preme Court regarding military trials, and
other important decisions to follow which",
it is alleged, will declare several laws now
on the statute books unconstitutional, has
produced a feeling of alarm. Able jurists
in both houses are seriously considering the
propriety of Congress taking immediate ac
tion to avert serious danger.
Congressmen are divided in their expres
sions and opinions on the subject of the
Constitutional amendment as a sine qua non
to the admission of the Southern States. A
large number of Republicans assert their
willingness to make this the basis of admis
sion to all truly loyal members ; but these
embrace chiefly the conservative wing of the
party, flie more extreme members being op
posed to committin g themselves upon the
question. It is not improbable that a cau
cus will be held to consider the propriety of
offering the Amendment to the South as a
finality.
Pennsylvania Items.
Mifflin Cocnty. John Ensloe.of Gran
ville township, killed a hog on Dec. 2oth,
which weighed 616 lbs. clean meat. It meas
ured two feet across the shoulders, five feet
eight inches from ear to tail, and seven feet
around the body.
Dauphin "Cocnty. On Tuesday, Dec.
25th. Jacob Conrad, at the residence of Pe
ter Hetrick, near D.iuphin, made a sausage
19i yards long, or 59 feet 3 inches in leneth
The sausaare was perfect, without a single
break. This is hard to beat.
Berks Cocnty. Henry Kraus, residing
in Hamburg, week before last, set a gun
trap in his smoke house for the benefit of
some thief who had stolen his meat. Hav
ing forgot that he had set the trap, he has
tily entered the smoke house, when the gun
was discharged and killed himself almost
instantly.
Venango County. On Dec. 2 1st, a col
ored barber, named Green, in Oil City, was
shot in the groin by a stranger whom he
had just shaved. No cause was assigned
lor the aiurderous assault. The scoundrel
effected his escape. The wounded man is
doing as well as could be expected from the
nature of his wound.
Centre County. Eight panthers were
killed in this county within one week four
by the Hall brothers, of Unionville, near
that place ; three in the mountain back of
Port Matilda, and one near Mechanicsville.
Aaron and John Hall recently shot thirteen
deers in seven days ; and it is said that Aa
ron alone has killed between 40 and 5:J du
ring the past season.
Clarion County. On Dec. 2uth, 1S66,
at a shooting match at Snydersburg, a row
dy fellow named Larry, shot a young man
named Lamb, twice, with a revolver one
ball passing through the hand and the sec
ond lodging in the leg. Lamb had the ball
extracted, and isnow-doins well. Larry
has been arrested, and lodged in jail to await
his trial.
Schuylkill County. Hon. Ira Van
Vesburg, who died at Mahoning city on
Dec. 20th, at the age of 30 years, was to
have been married at an early day to Miss
Lizzie B. Filley, of Pittton, Pa. Previous
to his death, Mr. Van Vesbursr willed his
entire estate, valued at $45, OX), to his in
tended bride, and she will come into posses
sion of this handsome fortune upon arriving
at the age ot twentj-one
Indiana County. A son of Mr. George
IS. bmith, ot Uanoe township, was acciden
tal! v snot, two weeks since, under the fol
lowing circumstances : It appears that the
boy was ot unsound mind and insisted upon
accompanying a party of yoan" men who
were going out on a gunning excursion, and
one of the party on going towards him to
induce him to return, fell, and the hammer
of the gun catching in his clothes, the fire
arm was discharged the ball taking effect
in young Smith's breast, and causing death
in about halt an hour.
Butler County. A party was given at
the house of a Mr. 01iver,on Christmas Eve
in Portersville, and a couple of friends of
Mr.Oliver came there in the evening whom
he invited to stay. It appears that during
the evening some altercation took place, and
the result was that a youtitc man named Cun
ningham was instantly killed, and his com
panion, fibballs, is supposed to be mortally
wounded. 31 r. Oliver, in trying to separate
the parties, had his skull fractured. Two
or three others were also injured. What is
most singular is, no one seems to know who
the murderer ot young Cunningham- is.
Much excitement prevails in the vicinity of
the murderous anray, and the whole affair
willbe thoroughly investigated.
The Indian Troubles.
Late dispatches from Fort Laramie leave,
unfortunately, little room for doubt that the
massacre of United States troops near Fort
Philip Kearney in Dakota, was full as horri
ble as it was first represented. Col. Filler
man, Capt. Brown, Lieut. Grammond, and
Eighty-seven men were drawn into an am
bush by the savages, and every one of them
was slaughtered. It is of little avail now to
wonder how an experienced officer could
lead his troops into such a trap when the
hostne disposition of the surrounding In-
dians was well known ; if the commander of
this unfortunate detachment was to blame.
he is already punished beyond his deserts.
But the frequency of Indian outrages dur
ing the last few months, and the fact that
the disturbances are confined to no particu
lar locality, but extend over the whole re
gion from New-Mexico to the northern bor
der, and from the westernmost settlements
of Kansas to the frontier towns of California,
demand of us a very careful and intelligent
consideration. We expressed our conviction
some three mouths ago, that a general In
dian war was imminent, but many people,
deceived by the lying reports cf those who
find their profit in the wretched system of
Indian misgovernment which is responsible
for these horrors, made light ot our appre
hensions. Now, we believe there are few
who will question that a war is inevitable,
and that the only way to secure the future
safety of our Western settlers and emigrants
is to make that war short, sharp, and deci
sive. A Fort Laramie dispatch mentions a
rumor of a coalition of twelve tribes, num
bering 11,030 warriors, against the white
settlers ot Dakota and Montana ; and a few
weeks ago we had a report of a similar oon
federation among the Aranahoes. Chv-
ennes, and other savages of Southern Kan
sas. Every mail brings us account of raids
and massacres, now in Arizona, now in Ida
ho, now in Kansas or New-Mexico. Supply
trains for the mining regions are cut off;
mails and telegraphs are interrupted .and m.
igrants who are fortunate enough not to
leave their bodies rotting on the plains only
get through to their destination by sheer
fighting.
Very Likely. G OV. bvnn rf T.lolm
bids fair to secure an unenviable position'
He claims to have been robbed of $47,000
belonging to the Government, while in a
sleeping car between New York and Wash
ington ; the money being in a belt which he
had taken off and put under his head. The
story is not f ully credited, and it is said the
Governor is in arrears to Government about
$100,000, beside the amount stolen. An in
vestigatipg is soon to be had.
"Relics of Barbarism." Certain coun
ties in Maryland have hedged themselves in
with a barbarism of which we have read in
stories of China. In famous old Anne A
rundel,they are still cruel enough t convict
a negro of homicide for not allowing him
self to be shot ; to tear children away from
their mothers, and sell them into appren-
; ticeship by the hundred ;
to deny colored
men all right to testify, and to sell them in
to slavery whenever larceny can be proved
against them on a white man's oath. In
Calvert count-, too, the old traders in flesh
and blood have been bartering away appren
tices by the thousand. Maryland is full of
cases of silent outrage which make no ap
pearance in statistics, but GOO false appren
ticeships in one county suggest a wider range
of evils than can be contained in the boun
daries of Maryland alone. The subject has
been brought to the attention of Congress
by Mr. Sumner, who offered a resolution di
recting the Senate Judiciary Committee to
inquire what Legislation, if auy, is necessa
ry to prevent the salcot persons into slavery
as a punishment for crime. It would seem
as if the miseries which the colored people
of the South are suffering, even at the
hands of judges, from being denied the
commonest rights, ought to make the course
of Congress as plain as an open scroll.

rpiIE TRIBUNE FOR ig67.
The Tribune ectert upon the yr lSe?
prosperous in business than ever before. Thu
pediency of enlarging oar pagei thus null,,

have found our account in it. The circulatictaf
TheTribcsb is steadily increasing, and our u
vertising patronage has increased so much 'ui
it is more difficult to print our news than wt.,
we ued a smaller sheet.and this diiSculty wtJ
only rocet by frequently publishing sur.pItB,Cl.

Ihe close of the war has imposed opot Tii

we have been called upon todenounce and eipon
the treacberiesof a degraded Administration. U
was not without pain, certainly not without muci
thinking, that we made an issue wiih Preiitni

turning their radical representatives to powtr

cessiiits. and we must amend our war exper..

a grievous evil. Trade suffers; our manufie'.i
ring interests are in a precarious state. A doi.u
does not mean a dollar, but its fraction It sit
be sixty cents, it may be ten. It is a santint I
not a fact. When the laborer earn hi. doii&r b.
does not know whether he has one loaf of brr
or ten. All business is feverish and uuieu!ej
think this can only be remedied by m witttci
intrepid policy at Washington by mducini ts

aggrandisement of English capitalists lnri
the many years of our work we bare airagin
against this interest. We believe Protect
more necessary now than ever befure. uJ
shall insist upon the broadest and wiaut '-
iiou for the Rights of Labor.
la tbe perplexing question of Reconstructs
we see no reason to amend the policy whicli
iave asserted since the close of the war. luim
seemed to us that Emancipation of ihe BuU
should be followed by Suffrageof the Blaek ,
did not see the wisdom of a policy of proiciKi
ous confiscation and hanging. We had tuoat.
blood in war to ask for bloui i i po-ice tiru
gratify angry vengeance. It seemed in;poru.M
that the South should concede Suffrage klJ ibti
the North should concede Amnesty oicitJ:
triends disapproved of this; but Cwurj hfo
lowed our advice. Amnesty has bceu appro.
by Congress to a greater extent thau we c'tiia
ed ia The Tribune. We have held that th p
who starved captives in Rebel dunge.n:. mU
murdered surrendered prisoners, who vioU'.W
the rules of war. and aided the assassiuitios if
Mr. Lincoln, should be tried and punished Cm
gres and the Administration have agree it
punishment should be inSicted even upoa q.i
who ate charged with these crimes aci th ci.j
measure looking liko pnniibment is the iinl
njent of disfranchisement trom holdiLg
which is merely a sentimental and not a craciai
penalty. Jn tbe other hand, the paisao cf :ti
Civil Rights Bill, the Freed man's Burau lii 'i,
and the Bill for Suffrage in the District of i'o!bj
bia. show that Reconstruction will not betauLa
mated without suffrage and protection for u.
Blacks. The policy oi Thb Tribte hj o!
practically adopted by those who differed with u
during its discussion. We never quarrel wits
friends who are impatient with us. Wo dotbea
the justice of believing they go their way to wt.i
is right. We work for the same object but per
haps in different ways. We have co tiLer .a
than to secure peace to this nation, and to all na
tions liberty, progress, happiness, virtus. xi
the universal brotherhood of man. And for tin
we shall continue to toil in our beft way.
We have reorganized and strengthened ettr;
dcprtment of Tub Tbibi-.ik. We have corrupts
deuts in every part of this country and inevirt
country in the world ; resident correspondent! is
every capital and commercial center of Esrepe
and South America; special correspondent!
follow important movements in all parti J ii
earth. This establishment costs a gre.-.t uttl i4
money, and to organize it we have invested bej
thousands of dollars. When we state that tcere
are three hundred people directly or indirect
coaneated with the editorial ttepartieeut of Is'
Tribune, ehargtd, in a greater or le.ser dfg'
with writing for its columns and giving it Wi
and that for every item of news we pay icoi-'7
the vast expense of our publication may be im
agined We intend, to enlarge the acilitie.
and not only to gather news from ail parti oft'
world, but to ask the most gifted men ol oitet
countries to write for onr columns. With n"
of them we have already entered into Df0tiati
which will result in giving to the readers of If1
Tribune a series of essays that, both for their in
trinsic value and the fame of their illustnoui au
thors, will long be memorable in the bisto.-jw
journalism. Y e postpone for the present a B"
definite announcement. ,
Friends of Impartial Justice and Progrew'
