S. J. ROW, KDITOK ASD PROPRIETOR.
CIiEARFIELD, PA., JAN. 3d, 1 867
Fbom Mexico. A late arrival from Vera
Cruz furnishes the intelligence of the arri
val of the French transports at that port,
for the purpose of conveying the French
troops home, and that a regiment of Eiryp
tisn3 had left on the French mail steamer a
few days previous. Both tLe French and
Mexican flags were over the Fort and Custom
House at Vera Cruz. The Liberals were
encamped within twelve tniles of the city of
Vera Cruz, but no hostilities had taken
place. A train with $3,000,000 had just
arrived, but whether for the French or Max
imillian is not known. Masiraillian had is
sued another proclamation, condemning in
the strongest terms the conduct of General
Sedgwick, in taking possession of Mata
moraa. Some Mexicans proclaim that Ortega
will soon be President of the Republic of
Mexico if Maxaniillian leaves. We will see.
A "Friend" Rewarded. Another of
Andrew Johnson's characteristic appoint
ments is that of the new Governor for Idaho, j
John M. Murphy. lie was once indicted
in Wasco county, Oregon, for malfeasance
in office, and emigrated to Idaho in conse
quence of that little but unpleasant difficulty.
In 1865 he wa3 elected Recorder of Boise
county, in that Territory. Just previous to
the last election, the county safe in his pos
eession was broken open and a part of the
purloined money subsequently discovered in
his bed. lie found it desirable to emigrate
again. President Johnson considers him
an appropriate advocate and agc-nr of his
policy and sends him back to the scene of
his former exploit.?. The desirability of
having such. adherents may account for the
numerous jail deliveries the President makes
at frequent intervals.
JCDGE OF THE St'PREME COURT. The
BeUefonte JVe, Lock Haven Ilepuhlican,
and other papers, are favoring the nomina
tion of Hon. Samuel Linn, President Judge
of the Twenty-fourth District, as the Re
publican candidate for the Supreme Judg
ship next Fall. We most heartily endorse
this movement ; for, as a lawyer and Judge
he has few superiors in the State ; as a man
and an officer LL character is far "alovc sus
picion; and his general worth, abilities and
learning are conceded by even his most bit
ter partisan opponents. If the Republicans
desire to select a man who will be a credit to
the party and an honor to the position, they
will not fail, wlien the proper time comes,
to bestow the nomination upon Judge Linn.
U. S. Senators Elected. The Hon.
Frederick T. Frelinshuysen has been elected
Senator from New Jersey, for two years, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr.
Wright. Gov. Morton was elected over
Mr. Voorhees, in Indiana, for the term cnl
ing in 1873. Senator Howe was re-elected
for the same term, in Wisconsin. Senator
Pomeroy was re-elected for six years from
the 4th' of March next, and Hon. E. G.
Ross to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of Senator Lane, in Kansas. Sena
tor Nye was re-elected, in Nevada. Hon.
Roscoe Conkliug, in New York, and Hon.
Simon Cameron, in Pennsylvania.
Edgar Cowan, having died politically of
Andy Johnsonism a malady more certainly
fatal to politicians than the Rinderpest is to
cattle the President wants him to be em
balmed and sent to Austria as Minister, in
the place of Hon. J. L. Motley, removed.
As the Senate will probably refuse to con
firm his appointment. Cowan will have a
fit resting place in some political potter's
field like Westmoreland county, where he is
Jikely to find pltMity of spirit genial to his
well-known taste and nature.
Instructed to Resign. The Wisconsin
Legislature, by a vote of 21 to 11 in the
Senate, and 75 to 21 in the House, has con
demned the course of Senator Doolittle.and
instructed him to resign. Unregrctted by
the party he betrayed, and repudiated by
his own State, Mr. Doolittle can hardly
console himself with fellowship with the
latter-day Democracy and the applause of
Rebels. Resignation under such circum
stances is suicide, and, as Mr. Webster said,
suicide is ronfession.
A Profitable Les30X. Thirty years
ago Simon Cameron was elected Printer of
the State of Pennsylvania. Thirty-five
years ago, he worked as a compositor on the
National Intelligencer at Washington city.
When Gen. Cameron was Secretary of War,
several printers were setting type in the In
telligencer office, who worked at the case
while Gen. C was compositor in the same
office. These are lessons of life, which the
apprentices .and journeymen in all trades
fan study with profit.
Hon. G. W. Scofield. A Ilarrisburg
correspondent of the Phil'a 17"? writing
nnder date of Jan. 15 th, pays a high com
pliment to our member of Congress in the
following paragraph :
"Allow me to make a single suggestion to
you and other leaders of the Union party in
Pennsylvania. The late choice of a United
States Seaator, whether wise or otherwise,
must for six years to come have an import
ant bearing ujon the life and usefulness of
our State organization. Meantime, other
combinations mutt be made and other rep
resentative men must be brought forward.
Shall these selections continue to be old
leaders of factions whose success or failure is
but a continuous party wrangle, or shall
they be unobjectionable ami rising young
men. with no enemies to punish, represent
ing the vigorous life and liberty of the whole
Union organization ? By all means give us
the latter. Begin now to combine on such
a man as lion. G. W. Scofield, of our del
egation in Congress from the Nineteenth
district. He is in the prime of life and vig
or of good health. An able lawyer, a cool
and clear-headed debater, a threwd mana
ger, and true as steel to the party and its
principles, having a reputation without a
blot, he is rapidly rising in the good opinion
of his colleagues and the country. Beside,
the growing West is now entitled to recog
nition, and cannot salely be overlooked.
But I mention Mr. S. merely as the type of
a clans from which our leaders must be se
lected if we would be harmonious and retain
our power. The rking young men of the
party must bear its banners. The ''barna
cles" must goto the bottom. New York
has just recognized this principle in the
choice of the. young and eloquent Conkling.
Pennsylvania cannot safely disregard the
good example."
A Texas Congressman. George W.
Chilton has been elected to Congress from
Texas, and claims his seat as a representa
tive of that " loyal" and sovereign State.
The Hon. George bases his claims upon the
following- patriotic conduct: When Gov.
Hamilton was compelled by the rebels of
Texas to leave that State, he was piloted
through the rebel lines by a Capt. Mont
gomery, a loyal Texan in the service of the
United States. The Captain subsequently
fled to Mexico. Chilton, learning of his re
treat, raised a body of rebels, crossed the
Rio Grande, kidnapped Moulgomery, took
him back across the river, hung lain, cut
off his arms, and sent the mutilated remains
to the town where the Captain had former
ly resided, as was said, to show the fate of
traitors. For this Chilton's rebel friends
have sent him to Congress. Col. Washburn,
of Indiana, has moved a resolution provi
ding for an investigation of this horrid af
fair, with a view of determining the Hon.
George's right to assist in making laws for
loyal men.
A Rich Scen e. Hon. Jeremiah S. Black
received a severe and anything but pleasant
shock, the other day. While a certain elo
quent lawyer of African descent, who had
just been admitted to practice in the Su
preme Court, was in the Clerk's room, pay
ing his initiation fee, Jeremiah came rush
ing in to get change for a ten dollar bill.
The Clerk could not accommodate him,
wheieupon the legal laminary of color vol
unteered his assistance, asking, at the same
time, if he had the honor of addressing the
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens. Imagine the hor
ror of Judge Black. Indignantly ejacula
ting "No, sir, no!" he fled from the spot
disgusted and dismayed, not even waiting
for the chance he so much wanted.
A Good Hit. It is said that Morrissey
is a competitor with Johnson for public hon
ors, lie commenced life in a very low posi
tion he has been a rat-catcher, a dog-fighter,
a prize-fighter, gambler, and fkallya
member of Congress. He has gone around
the entire circle, and leaves the Constitution
and flag with his constituents. It is barely
possible that he may yet become President.
A terrible snow storm occurred at San An
tonio, Texas. Over one thousand head of
sheep perished from the cold. Cattle were
in excellent order, fine beeves selling from
fourteen to fifteen dollars, cash, for specie.
Sheep are selling at $1.50 per head, and
pork two and a half to five cents per lb.
It seems to be well settled that the Pres
ident does not obtain much comfort from
Gen. Grant, who told him that he thought
the feature ot the bill he has just vetoed,
which disfranchised rebels, was the best of
them all, and for that reason he was opposed
to the veto.
The decision of the Supreme Court against
the constitutionality of the test oath in the
case of lawyers, has been promptly followed
by the admission of a rebel general to the
bar of the Supreme Court. That's the wav
treafon is made odious now-a-days.
Rejected. The United States Senate
ha9 rejected Ex-Gov. Johnston as Collector
at the Port of Philadelphia, Joseph. R.
Flanigan as Naval officer at the same port,
and Ex-Gov. John Bigler as Assessor of
Internal Revenue in California.
George W. Woodwind, present Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Couri of Pennsylvania,
declines a re-election. SensilJe, as he has
not yet recovered from the drubbing he re
ceived as a candidate for Governor.
Count de Bismark bag addressed a Utter to
the President of the Lutheran Consistory of
Frankfort, which contains some sharp menaces

The official report on the famine in the
East Indies shows that there were millions

Washington City Gossip.
The days of chivalry have-come back to Wash
ington. Two "affairs of honor" have occurred
here during a week, and more are promised in
certain contingencies The first was the crossing
of weapons by two newspaper correspondents at
tached to leading Xew-YorK newspapers, who
were tenacious of their status, but whose blows
were without force; for, while the willing canes
would gravitate downward naturally, they were
restrained by the unwilling arms of the combat
ants, and no damage was done. On the twenty
first. Delegate Holbrook, of Idaho, made an as
sault with a cane upon an inoffensive man named
Henry Cummins, also of Idaho-, in -the lobby of
Willard's Hotel. The latter was considerably
bruised, and. being unarmed, came out second
best. The quarrel was a political one. Mr Hol
brook being- a Johnson man, and Mr. Cummins, it
is said, being a correspondent of some Radical
papers. "
The Resolution offered in the House of Kepre
sentatives bv Mr. Spaulding of Ohio, instructing
the Committee on the Judiciary to prepare and
report to the House an opinion in writing respect
ing the necessity of obtaining any further sanc
tion to the Constitutional Amendment than three
fourths of the States actually represented, opens
an important question. The report of the Com
mittee will be awaited with special interest.
Five thousand citizens of Western Xorth Caro
lina, have petitioned the Housefor the fcrmat'on
of a new State or the re-construction of North
Carolina on a loyal bais.
An important bill was introduced in the House
ontheilst by Mr. Williams, and referred to the
Judiciary Committee, providing that all cases
brought before the Supreme Court, in which is in
volved the validity of United States Statutes, or
the construction of the Constitution, or the oppo
sition of State laws to the Constitution, shall be
heard only before a fall bench, and that no deci
sion shall be given against any United States
statute without the concurrence of all the Judges
Objection being made, the House voted to receive
the bill-Yeas 101, Nays 39. It may be that here is
a way by which a check can be imposed upon the
enormous political power now yielded by the Su
preme Bench. From the present temper of the
majority of the Judges, it is plain that the people
to whom power belongs must find some remedy
against the encroachments of the judicial au
thority. It is not doubted that Gen. Grant is greatly so
licitous about the present condition of affairs and
that the representations of such officers as Sheri
dan, Ueintzleman, Ord and Gilmore, in reference
to the disaffected and defiant condition of the
rebels, are rapidly bringing him to the opinion
that the most radical measures are the wisest and
most moderate.
The majority of the House was overwhelming
on Kasson's bill, making it a felony to sell negroes
into servitude who have been guilty of larceny.
This andjthe passage of the suffrage bill over the
President 8 veto makes the freedmen jubilant.
A new draft upon the Treasury is projected in
a scheme to constract a railroad through Texas
and Mexico to the Pacific, with enormous giants
of lands and the issue of Government bonds. The
bill for the scheme was introduced by the dele
gate from Ariiona.
The President has approved the joint resolu
tion appropriating $500,000 for the purchase of
the lower portion of the City nail Park, in New
York, for a Post Office and U. S. Court room.
The Chairman of the National Democratic Res
ident Committee, in bis address on the night of
Jan. 2'Uh, to the meeting which decided to re
commend the calling of a national convention used
the following language : " For reasons which it is
not difficult to understand, the Philadelphia move
ment failed to achieve that success which "it at
first promised, and which promise seemed suffi
cient to justify the experiment then made. We
do not believe it expedicpt to repeat that effort
under existing circumstances. In the next great
battle thus fought, the Democratic party must
march under its own colors. We must act in the
capacity of principals, and not of mere allies, in
viting to our aid, and on an equal footing with
ourselves, the few conservative Republicans who
stood firmly by us in the late campaign, and the
thousands of distrustful Democrats whose suspi
cions kept them a'oof " Alas, poor Andy ! 1 he
Democracy loved your attempted betrayal of the
Republican party.but now they spurn the betrayer
The President has signed the bill for the meet
ing of tie Fortieth Congress on the 4th of March.
It provides that in addition to the present regular
times of meeting of Congress, there shall be a
meeting of the Fortieth Congress of the United
States, and of each succeeding Congress thereaf
ter, at 12 o'clock, meridian. on the 4th day of
March, the day on which the term begins for
which the Congress is elccted.exeept when the 4th
of March occurs on Sunday, then the meeting
shall take place on the same hour on the next
succeeding day. No person who was a member
of the previous Congress shall receive any com
pensation as mileage for going to or returning
from the additional session provided for by the
foregoing section.
The President has also approved the bill pro
viding that the net proceeds of the internal rev
enue of the Territories of Nebraska. Washington,
ColJtada. Idaho, Montnnd, Arizona, and Dakotah.
the nextthree years, be set aside and appropri
ated for the purpose of erecting, nnder the direc
tion of the Secretary of the Interior, penitentiary
buildings in said several territories, at such places
therein as have been or may be designated by
the Legislature thereof, and approved by the
Secretary of the Interior.
Leonard IIu;ck, formerly President of the
Merchant's National Bank of Washington, was
delivered into the custody of the U. S. Marshal,
last week, having been arrested in New York, on
a reqnisition of the Court of Washington city.
Huyck was indicted for the larceny, on April 2d.
of thirteen U. S. Bonds, valued at 513,000, the
property of D R. McNier, in trust for Mrs. Coyle.
The President has pardoned one Guinn. con
victed for robbing the United States mail in
Massachusetts.
The Mayor of Georgetown, District of Columbia,
has given notice to all the male inhabitants, both
white and black, over twenty-one years of age,
to appear before him and the Board of AldermaD,
at the time named , for the preparation of the list
of voters under the provisions of the late act of
Congress regulating the elective franchise in the
District of Columbia Of the number of voters
registered, the whites but little exceed the blacks.
The House had a protracted session on the 27th,
if not a very dignified one. Mr. Boutwell re
ported from the Judiciary Committee, a bill to
meet the contingency created by the late decision
of the Supreme Court, declaring unconstitutional
the test oath as applied to attorneys practicing
in the Courts of the United States. The bill pro
vides that no person shall be permitted to act as
an attorney or counsellor in any Court of the
United States who has been guilty of treason,
bribery, murder, or any other felony, or baa been
engaged in any rebellion against the government
ef the United States, or has given aid, comfort or
encouragement to the enemies of the United States
in armed hostility thereto. To prevent a vote
on this bill, the Democratic members of the House
resorted to all sorts of dilatory motions, and
thereby protracted the session until 8 o'clock the
next morning, when the House took a recess until
11 o'clock. Upon re-assembling a vote was taken,
and the bill passed by 109yeas to 42 nays. Now,
when it is known that the effect of these disor
ganizing movements of the latter-day Democracy
is to secure the privilege to the most reckless
traitors in the country to practice before the
highest eourts of that ' Government which they
only recently came so near consigning to a bloody
sepulchre, and with the privilege reus secured to
sustain the very doctrines overthrown in decisive
battle, these extraordinary proceedings will be
better understood. This effort of the allies of
treason to defeat proper legislation should stimu
late the Republicans te stand firm to the interests
of the Union, and "prepare them for Be w triumphs,
and admonish the people against the danger of
ever again confiding power into tba hands of the
false Democracy.
In the House, on the 27th, Mr. Stevens' enabling
bill came up, when everybody expected a speech
from Mr. S.,but to the astonishment of the House
and the crowded galleries, he rose and simply
remarked, that unless he changed his mind he
should move, to-morrow, (the 25tb.) to lay his en
abling bill on the table. A canvass of the House
demonstrated that the bill would be referred to
the Committee on Reconstruction, instead of being
passed, and he preferred its defeat outright, and
by his own motion, to its reference as a mild way
of Killing it.
It is stated that Representative Shallenberger,
of Ohio, is drawing up a new enabling bill for
the Southern States. It is based upon the same
general principles as the Steven's bill abolishing
the present Southern State governments. There
is little probability, however, of passing any new
reconstruction measure this session, for want of
time, and it is likely the whole subject will go
over to the Fortieth Coagress.
ITotes from Harrisburg.
An interesting debate took plaoe in the House,
on the 17th on a resolution introduced by Mr.
Kimmel, of Indiana county, asking the U. S.
Senate to reject the nomination of Edgar Cowan
as Minister to Austria. The resolution, after
averring that Cowan had betrayed his constitu
ents and disregarded his pledges to the peopleof
his native State, and declaring that his course in
the Senate had received their marked condemna
tion, sets forth that "Mr. Johnson seems to have
contemplated a direct insult to the freemen of
Pennsylvania, and shown his persistent purpose
to place the Government in the handsof men who
are opposed to the true interests of this nation,
foreign and domestic." There was some plain
talk on the Republican side ol the House which
should make the ears of the Renegade tingle if
he was possessed of any sense of feeling and
shame. Whatever comfort he may derive from
the miserable apologies offered by the Democrats,
ou this occasion, be is welcome to enjoy.
home of tha editors who have beea talking
about fraud and corruption in the election of a
United States Senator, have been "brought up
with a short turn " The committee appointed
by the Legislature to investigate these charges
have been bringing some of these gentlemen be
fore them, and when put upon their oaths it turns
out that they know nothing improper that had
been done by any of the candidates or their
friends. One Joshua Karnes, who prints a paper
at Downingtown, Chester county, was among those
iummoned by the committee, and he was not able
to testify to a single fact that tended to show cor
ruption. It is a great pity that every editor who
has been mak'ng these charges h is not been scrv
ed in the same way. Whot a "split stick." for
example, tho eJitor of the. Clearfield Republican
would be in, if put upon the witness stand, .ind
asKed to state what he knows ! Though asserting
it constantly in his paper, the prediction can safe
ly be ventured that the sum total of his knowl
edge of corruption relative to the U. S. Senator
ship, like that of ethers, would amount to just
nothing.
Captain N. A. Pefinypacker, member of the
Legislature from Chester county, and who served
with distinction in many of the hardest fonght
battles of the war, has jusi received a brevet of
Colonel. This is a worthy compliment to a gal
lant soldier.
Tho citizens of Adams county are petitioning
the Legislature to indemnify them for losses sus
tained during the battle of Gettysburg. That
they suffered many hardshipsand sustained heavy
losses, all are aware, and common justice would
dictate that they should be indemnified therefor.
If the State is liable for the destruction of their
property, the Legislature should provide the
meats of payment at once if not, let that body
designate who is responsible for the losses sus
tained. Governor Curtin, in his last annual message,
recommended to the attention of the Legislature,
the passage of a general Jury Law, to change the
present mode of selecting jurors in the Common
wealth. Mr. Humphreys, of Tioga, a few days
ago, read in place a bill to meet the recommen
dations of Governor Curtin. The first section of
this act provides that at the nextgeneral election,
the qualified voters of each county shall elect two.
Jury Commissioners, but that no electorshall vote
for more than one commissioner. The second sec
tion provides that the said commissioners shall
meet together with the Sheriff twenty days before
the first term of Quarter Sessions, each year and
succeeding year, and select alternately from the
taxables of the county a sufficient number of per
sons, to be placed in the wheel, from which the
jurors are to be drawn. The pay of the commis
sioners is to be the tame as the county commis
sioners. In case of sickness, death, or any other
cause, the President Judge of the District shall
appoint to fill the vacancy.
The report that Ex-Governor Curtin intended
removing to Lancaster, with ibe expectation of
succeeding Mr. Stevens, is contradicted ; and it is
authoritatively stated that he will again take up
his residence in Bellefonte.

Eadical Speech of Gen. Cameron.
On Tuesday, Jan. 15th after Simon Cam
eron had been elected ITnited States Senator,
a large number of citizens of IlarrUburg
and strangers, met at the Lochiel House for
the purpose of offering him their congratu
lations. Mr. Cameron on being introduced
addressed his auditors as follows :
Gentlemen : Your greeting is very kind
and cordial, and I thank you for it. I thank
God that in spite ot the slanders my ene
mies have repeated, for twenty jears, my
fellow citizens who have seen my life from
day to day, have always stood yy my side
and helped meo repel them. This last
struggle ot my political life has ended in
victory. I desired this as an answer.to vin
dicate my houesty to my children and my
friends. I now propose to put these slan
ders behind me, and to forget alike,the liars
who coined them, and the fact that good
men, in some cases by the repetition of them
were induced to believe and repeat them.
Of the eighty-two Republican members
of the Legislature, my friends as5ure me
that sixty of them preferred me to any oth
er candidate, and would have voted for me,
rather than have witnessed my defeat. The
character of my supporters is as gratifying
to me as their numbers. Any oue, who
knows any thin? of our politics, who will
rea l the lists of those who voted for me will
find names as pure and honorable as that of
the purest christian moralist among my ri
vals ; and quite as unlikely to listen to any
eonupt proposal. Just there I leave the
whole matter, putting all falsehoods,and an
imosities, rnd prejudices, together under my
feet; and I go forward to the honorable du
ties to which my native State has called me
for the third time.
Six years ago I thought that slavery was
the strength of the rebellion, and ought to
be destroyed without delay. I wished also
to arm all black men who would volunteer.
Of course I thoutrht that clothing a black
man in the American uniform clothed him
also with the rights of an American citizen ;
and 1 am always sornr to see a black soldier,
and reflect that even Pennsylvania denies
him the ballot the only weapon whereby
he can protect himself. I hope to live to
see the word "white" stricken from our
own Constitution, and the spirit of caste-,
baed upon color, utterly destroyed.
The South, however, is more controlled
by social influence th in by political princi
ples. If you are wise and firm you may
pos-ibly educate the rising generation into
loyalty, but there is no method of stares
manship which will make this generation
of the South loyal to the Union and to the
Mag. The poison of thirty years cannot be
eradicated by the subserviency of the Pres
ident, or by the statutes of Conaress. Let
us look the truth in the face. The South
ern territory is diloyal. The loyal men of
to-day must guard their children against an
other treasonable rebellion. The Constitu
tional Amendments and impartial suffrage
will help to do this, but universal amnesty
will help to undo it.
Of Andrew Johnson I said long ago that
he was a traitor to his party, and an enemy
of his country, and a Lad man. lie had
done many bad things, but nothing worse
than offering the offiees of the country to
those few unprincipled men who agreed to
desert and betray the great Republican or
ganization for his patronage. 11 joined
the Democratic party long ago. He has a
right to give them the offiees, but he has no
right to di.-pose of them at auction to weak
kneed Republicans.
The pauper labor of Europe is again com
peting with our labor, and our manufac
tures languish for want of protection against
it. Pennsylvania needs no assurance of my
devotion to her interests in this regard which
ii the interet of the whole country. I will
continue to labor in season and out of sea
son to protect our manufacturers from ruin,
and their workmeu from being thrown out
of employment, or their watres reduced to
starvation point. For I hold that the true
welfare of any nation depends on the welfare
of its laboring classes.
Gentlemen, 1 trust that this is my last po
litical struggle. I have nothing more to de
sire, and I hope we will all forget the bitter
ness the unjustifiable bitterness I think
of the late contest. For my part I will try
to act as a representative of all the Radical
Republican of Pennsylvania, without re
gard to past differences or dissensions. With
my temperament I cannot forget my friends
who have stood by me so nobly, but I will
try to forget and forgie the unjust cal
umnies, and the political opposition I have
experienced.
