CLEARFIELD, rA., FEB. 6, 167.
CEX.TS OF ALABAMA. Alabama has ju?t
taken a State Census, an J reports a total
population of 14 j,244, whereof 442,44." are
blacks. In 1HJ, she had 964,2'JG, of whom
435,132 were slaves. It is evident that her
black inhabitants arc ynt about a? numer
ous as in lSf0, while her whites are but 20,
000 fewer. We infer from this that the
Southern States have generally nearly if not
quite as many inhabitants now as in 1860,
and will have more in IsTu. .The stories
that the blacks are "dying out" seem to be
utterly baseless. A good many of them
have mis-'rated northward or been taken to
Texas ; but they will number at least 4.000,
000 in 170. '
A Nice Little Estate. The company
of United States c-tizens who have purchased
Lower California of Jaurez are about to
take possession of their little ''tract of land,''
which contains only about forty-six thousand
eight hundred square miles ! Among the
citizens who have largely invented in this
mammoth enterprise are (Jen. Butler, Au
gust Belmont, Caleb Gushing, Ben Holi
day, George Wilkes, Leonard W. Jerome
and Robert J. Walker. The area of their
purchase is just about as large as the State
of New York, and the territory is said to be
exceedingly rich in gold and silver mines.
Gooi For Phil. Sheridan. General
Sheridan put a veto on the arrangement for
paying civic honors to the body of the late
rebel Johnson, in New Orleans, the cream
of which is as follows: "I have too much
regard lor the memory of the brave men
who died to preserve our Government, to
authorize Confederate demonstrations over
the remains of any ene who attempted to
destroy it." The beauty of it is. this veto
stands to the honor of its author, there
being no power in Orleans that can,
and none at Washington that dare, over
ride it.
To Liqi'Or Dealers. The United States
Supreme Court has just decided that neither
a license under the act of 1SG4, nor a special
tax under the act of S6o, confers upon the
party licensed, or who pays the tax, author
ity to carry on the liquor traftic contrary to
the laws of a State. The same rule applies
to the sale of lottery tickets. The Federal
tax imposed upon such dealers dues jiot do
away with the law which forbids their sale,
in certain States.
"We cannot spen J our time looking after
'tom-tits.' "Clearjiihl Republican.
J ust so I For, judging from your columns,
it seems your "time" is largely devoted to
the sayings and doings of negro witnesses
and "contraband" candidates for the peni
tentiary thatr grant sort of information
appearing to come nearer to your notion of
the "substantial," than "the details of an
unnatural murder."
A Competent Witness. Major General
Thomas Is a Virginian. Yet he declared be
fore the Congressional Committee that "out
rages committed upou the freedmen by white
men are not punished, and there is no pros
pect for justice for the blacks before the
Courts." lie further declared that the on
ly remedy was "a supervisory military pow
er." Cavilers at Congress should ponder
these strong expressions.
The Woutuies at Their Supper.
James Buchanan (o. p. f.) gave a "state
dinner," in Philadelphia, last week, when
the following persons broke bread together :
James Buchanan, Edward Ingersoll, Rich
ard Yaux, J. B. Baker, (ex-Collector,)
Henry M. Philips, Dr. Evans, of "West
Chester, George Sharswood, J. T. Mont
gomery, Dr. Riddle, Mr. Savage. Dr. Mc-
rary.
The Auction Business. Some idea of
the magnitude of the sales of dry goods by
auctiou in New York city may be inferred
from the fact that eight auction firms in this
line sold an aggregate of $35,544,613 during
the past year, according to the amounts re
turned to the assessors of internal revenue.
The tax of one percent on this amount af
forded a revenue to Government of $335, 44t).
Ebensburg, in the neighboring couiity of
.. Cambria, seems to be a hard place for print
ers to vegetate in. The Alleghanian, the
Republican organ, has just been revived af
ter a suspension of several months, whilst
the Sentinel, the Democratic organ, has
"shut shop" for an indefinite period of" time.
Going to the Penitentiary in Connecticut
seems to be a rather good thing. The con
victs of the State's prison, it is stated, are
regularly regaled with concerts and dramat
ic performances, to help pass away their time.
The expenses of the entertainment are
borne by outside philanthropist.
Doctoring the Nation.
Our worthy neighbor of the ClearjielJ
Republican, in the last issue of his immac
ulate sheet, . displays manifest symptoms of
despondency concerning the condition of the
Nation, which he "seems" to view from an
Escu'apian stand-point, and thinks the "af
flictions" under which the country is suf
fering "will certainly produce a more fatal
"disorder in the body politic, than cholera
"would iu the physical system." To him
"the people of this country seem to profit
'"little by experience. Four years of fratri
"cidal war, with its untold evils and per
sonal afflictions," to Doctor George, "seem
"to be forgotten already." Nor is this the
worst of it, for, in a manner which indicates
settled conviction, he declares that "a por
"tion of the people seem as determinedly
"bent on National ruin, as they were in
"I860." This averment we, at first, inno
cently supposed meant the Rebels who un
dertook to destroy the Government, and
their abbcttors and sympathizers at the
North. But it would ''secni' we were great
ly mistaken, for upon reading a few addi
tional sentences 0f George's article, we dis
covered, what will probably le news to "the
rest of mankind" aLo, that "the portion of
people' referred to hy him, constituted
those who "heedlessly cast their ballots to
"elevate a western political jay-hawker to
"the Presidency," as he is pleased, with pue
rile impotence, to speak of the lamented
Lincoln. When, however, t lie editor of the
RcpMicaii declares that many fathers
"grasp and caress their bonis to-day more
"affectionately than they did their sons in
"war times," we can with the greatest
degree of confidence say, that George does
not allude to himself, and at the same time
maintain that he refers to those who did what
they could to keep their sons out of, and not
to those who sent them into the army ! It
must not be supposed, however, that our
political Doctor, after giving the diagnosis
of the National malady, is at a loss for a
remedy. Not at all. He has a restorative
which, if used according to directions, will
speedily cure the evils he has so graphically
pointed out. It is to "put the Democratic
"party in potter in the States and Nation!"
A sovereign balm, that, indeed ! The most
simple aud cheap medicament, imaginable !
Only 'Vote the old Union-Saver's ticket,"
exclaims George enthusiastically, "and all
will be well" things promiscuous will be
lovely and the anserine bird will hang high.
But, seriously : What does our neighbor
mean wheu he says :
"Ye loyalists to-day, who voted and talk
ed for war in 1800, do you want the same
thing in IStW? If so, advocate and sustain
the course of Thad Stevens & Co. More
drafts aud bounty taxes will be your lot, if
you continue to rote for men who have no
more respect for the Constitution than a hy
ena has for a corpse."
What inferences are we to draw from such
language ? Are we to conclude that the Latter-day
Democracy, if they do not succeed
in electing a President in 1S68, will revolt
as the South did iu 1S60? Or is this
sort of talk mere bluster and bombast, de
signed to scare timid people into their sup
port ? It is possible that such a result only
is contemplated. And yet there may be
more "method" in these ravings than we
would fain believe, for those which manifest
themselves ia the columns of the Republican
are the mere reflections of the N. Y. Worll,
Washington Union, and other prominent
organs of the party to which they adhere.
Under date of January 18th. the last men
tioned paper for example,iu speaking of the
Administration, says :
"Tf necessary its strong andiron hand
will be inroketl to ftay the. course and pre
terit the consummation of radical treaxon.
The great oath of the President to protect
and defend the Constitution will not be for
gotten aud the people who sustain him with
their five hundred thousand majority of vo
ting population North and South will not
forget him. Events have already brought
the Government to the very verge of anoth
er revolutior. If the radical majority in
Congres pursues its treasonable course much
longer, the Government in order to sustain
itself, vill ha re to arm iU supporters. At
the call of the President all his friends,
orth anil South, and the Army and Yf
vy, trill respond. In nuch a contest, the is
sue cannot be doubtful."
This is the character of threats which
have of late become common with editors
of the Latter-day Democratic, school. If
they indicate correctly the course their par
ty will take in 1SGS, the sooner the people
understand their designs the better will it
be for the country and for the Government.
If the present Congress is an illegal so
called Congress a body hanging upon the
verge of the Government, because it was
elected while ten States were excluded from
participation in the election, what can be
said of the legality of the election of Andy
Johnson while the same States were exclu
ded from a share in the election ? Did the
act of Wilkes Booth cure the defect that
renders the election of our present Congress
illegal ? Which of the Copperhead organs
that so much delight in denouncing Congress
ai a Rump, can answer this question ?
Benjamin B. Miller, convicted of stealing
letters with checks in them, while passing
through the New York postoffiee, was sen
tenced to ten years' imprisonment at Sing
Sing. Here is another chance for a Presi"
dential pardon. So, go in, Andy.
Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg was
fired by an incendiary a few days since.
The flames were discovered before much
damage was done.
The Austrian Mission.
In response to a resolution of the Senate,
the President sent to that lody the corres
pondence between Secretary Seward and
Hon. J. Lathrop Motley, Minister to Aus
tria. The following is Mr. Seward's letter:
Department of State, Washington,
Nov. 21, 166. Sir: Acitizenof the Uni
ted St.-'tes has addressed a letter to the E'res
ident from Paris, iu which he represents he
had traveled extensively in Europe during
the past year, in the course of which he
had occasion to see something of our Min
isters aud Consuls in various countries; that
most of those whom he met were bitterly
hostile to the President and his Administra
tion, and expressed that hostility in so open
a manner as to astonish Americans and leave
a very bad impression on Europeans. He
adds that you do not pretend to conceal your
"disgust," as he says you style it, at the
President's whole conduct ; that you despise
American Democracy and loudly proclaim
that an English gentleman is the very model
of human perfection ; that the President
has deserted his pledges and principles in
common with Mr. Seward, who, you say, is
"hopelessly degraded." Your denial or
confirmation of the truth of these reports is
requested. I am, Sir, your obedient ser
vant, m. H. Seward.
To J. Lathrop Motley, Eq.
Mr. Motley's reply to this extra ordinrry
ep'sde is spirited, manly and patriotic. lie
says his Srst impulse was to content himself
with a fiat denial, but on further reflection
concluded that as he did not wish that there
should be any doubt as to his political sen
timents, he would say a few words. lie
says :
" I have always believed it necessary that 1
strong guarantees should be taken against a
recurrence of the rebellion and the" estab
lishment of some form of slavery before the
seceded States should be re-admitted to rep
resentation in Congress. Latterly I am in
clined to the opinion that the noblest and
the safest course would be by an amendment
of the Constitution prohibiting the distinc
tion of race or color in regard to ti e attain
ment of the franchise, together with a gen
eral amnesty to be proclaimed by the Presi
dent. These opinions in the privacy of my
own household and to an occasional Ameri
can visitor I have not concealed. The great
auestiou now presenting itself for solution
emandsaconseitmtious scrutinizine by every
American who loves his country and believes
in the huma'i progress of which that coun
try is one of the foremost representatives.
I have never thought during iiiv residence
at Yienna that because I have the honor of
being a public servant of the American peo
ple I am deprived of the light of discussing
within my own walls the gravest subject that
can interest freemen. A Minister of the
United States is as deeply interested as oth
ers in all that affects the welfare of his coun
try. In conversation with such of my col
leagues or members of the Government here
as were interested in tfur politics, I have
uniformly stated that the conflict of opinions
now prevailing in the United States was in
evitable in a free country. That such dis
cussion was the very evidence of our freedom
and of our capacity to govern ourselves.
That to silence discussion belongs to despots,
and not to a republican government like ours,
and that I had entire faith that the Ameri
can people would settle all disputed questions
with justice. I have always been cautious,
however, in such considerations, to avoid
any expression of disrespect toward the
President or his Cabinet. I have uniformly
stated that in our own country the people
was not only thooreiically but practically
sovereign, and that, when great political
question- were to be solved appeal was ma"j
to the ballot-box. I have steadily expressed
the opinion that the President and Congress
would be reccnciled after the people should
have pronounced their solemn verdict, and
I have added that all parties in the United
States, as I believed, honestly desired und
required the re-establishment of the Union
however they might differ as to the wisest
means of securing it- This is the way in
which I have been in the habit of speaking
officially or semi-officially, and this is my re
Fly to the charges contained in vour letter.
so far as they regard in any way the Presi- f
dent ot the United. Mates.
"That I : despised American Democracy,
and loudly proclaim that an English gentle
man i the model of human perfection.' is
so pitiful a fabrication that I blush while I
denounce it. Any one personally acquaint
ed with me. or who has taken the trouble to
road my writings, whether official or histor
ical, knows that a more fervent believer in
American Democracy than I am, does not
exist in the world. My expressions of rev
erence for the American people during those
tew heroic years have erred, if at all, on the
side of enthusiasm, and have often seemed to
the sceptical somewhat extravagant. I scorn
to dwell longer on the contemptible charp
"That I have called Mr. Seward ' hope
lessly degraded,' is a wild calumny, and it
wounds me deeply that you could listen for
a moment to such a falsehood. In conclu
sion, I have only to add, that I beg herewith
respectfully to resisrn my post as United
States Minister at Yienna.
I am. Sir, your ob't serv't,
J. Lathrop Motlev."
TnE Contraction that is Going On.
The financial editor of the Chicago RepuL
lican writes as follows : "Capitalists and
bankers all over the country are pursuing
the same policy of contraction which Secre
tary McCulloch has inaugurated. So far as
the banks are concerned, this is a matter of
necessity, and outside capitalists are gov
erned by the same policy. Of course, all
this reverts on trade and commerce ; and in
the West, where the bauking capital is lim
ited, the pressure is unusually severe. At
the same time the stocks ot breadstuff's are
much lighter than usual, and that of pro
visions, though heavier thnn last year, is net
considered beyond the capacity of the coun
try. In this way, the chief sufferers by the
present stagnation in trade are the mer
chants and the manufacturers. The farm
ers, as a general thing, are in easy circum
stances, but they are unwilling to sell their
government securities to pay their debts,
and collections are therefore elow, and will
probably continue so till a better financial
policy is inaugurated. "

A good hit was made by Thad. Stevens
the other day. The proposition to reduce
the salary of our Minister to Portugal, be
ing before the House, Mr. Raymond took
the matter most vigorously in hand in behalf
of Mr. Harvey, the Minister to that country-
Mr. Raymond stated that he, iu fact,
was responsible for the publicity of a letter
to which reference was made, and therefore
should remark that it was a private letter to
Mr. Seward, and never designed to be
printed. Mr. Elridge exclaimed that iu
that case, if some one must be punished by
loss of salary, it should be either the gentle
man from New York or the Secretary of
State. Mr. Raymond facetiously interroga
ted "If the House held me responsible,
why did it increase my salary at the last ses
'sion?" Stevens immediately responded a-
mid a roar of laughter extending on all
sides as well as in the galleries "Oh, that
was to paj your outfit and expenses to the
Philadelphia Convention." As soon as a
voice could le heard, Mr. Raymond replied
"Well, sir, considering my services at that
Convention, my extra pay was none too
mnch."
President Johnson has returned to the
Senate, with his objections, the bill for the
admission of Colorado. He objects to the
bill on the grouud that the population is
oaly twenty-eight thousand, as appears in
the census; and that it is less than that of
any other State which has heretofore asked i
to be admitted: also, on the around of the I
evident incongruity of the legislation of the
territory and that of Congress, on the sub
ject of the third section, namely : the con
ditions precedent, of permitting citizens to
vote without discretion of race or color;
and on the further ground of the legislation
proposed for carrying out the provisions of
the bill. The term ot one-half of the mem
ber of the Territorial Legislature having
expired on the 3d instant, the President ur
ges that the questions involved be submit
ted to the decision of a vote cf the people ;
that within the sixty days specified it will
be impossible to reach certain portions of
the, Territory, owing to the oLstructions of
travel. He says a State applying for admis
sion should have a population of at least
the ratio required for Federal representa
tions. These are the principal reason as
signed for vetoing the bill.
The President has also vetoed the bill ad
mitting Nebraska as a State. The sole
point of this veto is the peculiar definition
of the word "people," to which his veto to
the District of Columbia Suffrage bill; and
his recent speeches, have accustomed us.
The noun 'people' in Mr. Johnson's gram
mar always includes the adjective "white,"
and he bases his veto on the argument that
the people of Nebraska have not approved
the conditions Congress has offered. Con
gress recognizes as a petition of the people
of the territory its black citizens ; Mr.
Johnson does not. Hence this veto, which
will attract little notice, being merely an or
dinary instance of his opposition to the ma
jority of the people, or his ignorance of the
principles of Democracy.
The bill amending the acts organizing the
several Territories, conferring suffrage
therein without regaidto race or color, has
become a law without the President's ap
proval. It was presented to him on the 12th
hist., and as he has not returned it within
the ten days allowed by the Constitution,
after it had been presented to him, it has
become a law, in hue manner as if he had
signed it. The bill repealing the amnesty
and pardon authority given to the President
became a law in a similar way.
U. S. Treasurer Spinner has all manner
of volunteer correspondents. Those who
send him bogus checks as "conscience mon
ey" for confessed frauds which are probably
as 4ogus as their checks or penitence, are
but one among several classes of queer fish
who love t) flounder in his eapacio is net.
The other day, a I -idly reconstructed South
erner sent him a ir'F) Confederate note, de
manding its payment in coin, on the ground
that Uncle Sam, having destroyed the gov
ernment which owed him the $500. had ren
dered himself liable for its debts! Mr.Spin
ner blandly responded that the creditor's
government aforesaid had been transferred
to an unmentionable hot p'ace, and advised
the creditor to go thither aud' present his
little bill. I
An influential gentleman from Alabama
writes that, with a goood Union newspaper,
sufficiently well sustained to sret a fair start.
Alabama would throw a majority of her
while population for the Republican candi
date for President, in 1863. If this is so,
the world certainly moves.
. The President sent to the Senate the nom
ination of General James S. Fullerton as
Postmaster at St. Louis. He is the same
officer who formed part of the Steedman
Fulierton Freedmen's Bureau Investigate g
Committee.
Gen. Dix is now naval officer at the Port of
New York, to which lucrative place he was !
appointed by the President immediately af
ter the adjournment of the Senate, on the
strength of an elaborate opinion by Attorney-General
Stansbury that the appoint
ment could be lawfully made during the re
cess of Congress, though the contrary opinion
had always teen maintained by the Senate
and acquiesced in by the Executive. Gen.
Dix stepped into the vacant office, whose
emoluments are worth about $45,000 a year,
and has already drawn some $'J,0; 0 from it.
On receiving his appointment as Minister' to
France, he sent in his resignation as Naval
Officer, to take effect on the appointment
of his successor. But his successor has not
yet been appointed, and is not likely to be
very soon ; so that Geru Dix retains posses
sion of tw o offices, one of which yields more
income than the united salaries of General
Grant, Lieut.-Gen. Sherman and Admiral
Farragut. The question for the Senate to
decide is, whether Gen. Dix shall be con
finned for both these offices, or for only one?
and if but one, which one? It is the gen
eral opinion that no officer of the United
States shall hold more than one office' the
emoluments of which exceed $2,500 a year;
but Gen. Dix, Attorney-Gen. Stansbury,
and the President, appear to think differ
ently. The public looks -with considerable
interest to the Senate to learn what that
honorable body thinks on the subject.
Republican authority here is emphatic
that the impeachment furore will amount to
nothing. Democrats say impeachment is
sure to take place. It is boldly charged in
respectable and influential quarters, that
the proposition to impeach the President
proceeds from speculators in stocks, and
others who expect to realize somethinc from
the commotion that would ensue. There
i ,
seems to be something in this, for the sud
en?rise in gold, which occurred in New
lork about ten days ago, was explained to
have been caused by a prominent Democrat
ic General assuring the Wall street opera
tors that the President would certainly
lnipcaened.
A movement is on foot at Richmond, Ya.,
to appoint commissioners by the Legisla
ture, wnose duty it shad be to remain in

terest of the South, in order that they may
oe pronounced unconstitutional.
The House has sustained Mr. Thad. Ste
vens in his assertion that the Government is
liable for all property belonging to loyal cit
izens at the South, destroyed by the orders
of Union officers as a military necessity. He
does not include property belonging to the
enemy or property destroyed by the enemy,
neither does he believe the assertion of Mr.
Delano, of Ohio, that it will take the enor
mous sum of $2,000,000,000 to pay the
claims which he defends. "Why, sir," said
Stevens, "I venture to say that $250,000,
000 would pay it all. But. if it takes a lit
tle more, rather than deliberately cheat the
poor people out of it, I would steal the
money to pay it.
It is asserted that ti e Pennsylvania Dem
ocratic State Committee are for the imme
diate organization of "minute men," to be
summoned at a moment's notice, for the
defending and sustaining the President of
the United States in the exercise ot his
high official prerogatives.
A citizen of New York, with an office jn
Wall street, has issued a confidential circu
lar to national banks, proposing to come to
Washington and lobf y for them if they will
contribute at tile rate ot one dollar on each
thousand of their circulation for his expen
ses. If all the banks could be pursuaded to
jfin in such an arrangement, it would yield
him the snug little sum of $r;00.000. Na
tional banks should beware of all such be
nevolent offers.
The Senate has passed the bill to regulate
the duties of Clerk of the House. It pro
vides that the Clerk of the preceding Con
