CLEARFIELD, PA., FEB. 13, 1867.
DlSLOYALTX OPTOE DEMOCRATIC PaUTV.
The New York Tribune in a recent elabo
rate article on the snbject.made the following
reference to the "disloyalty" of the so-call
ed Democratic party-leader? during the war
for the preservation of the Union :
A confederacy of the seceded States hav
ing been formed, leading Northern and
Western Democrats openly advocated the
secession of their several States from the
Union, and their accession to the Southern
Confederacy. "If the Union is to be dis
solved,'.' said Judge George W. Woodward,
Democratic candidate for Governor in 18G3,
"I want the line to run north of Pennsyl
vania. Ex-Governor Rodman M. Price, of
New Jersey wrote and printed a letter elab
orately urging that New Jersey should forth
with unite her fortunes with those of the
slaveholJing Confederacy. (See it in Amer
ican Conflict, vol. 1, p. 439.) And ex-Gov.
Horatio Seymour, of this State, privately
argued that New York should likewise unite
with that Coniederacy, whose head was Jer-
ferson Davis. It was held by leading Dem
ocrats that the Union might thus be recon
structcd without bloodshed or convulsion
only New England, and, perhrps, two or
three of the more fanatical States of the
Northwest, being excluded therefrom, as
unacceptable to our Southern brethren.
A Singlxar Circumstance. At Mil
waukee, on Friday, February 1st, during a
heavy storm, a little boy fell into a snow
drift, and was lost to sight After he had
been buried for an hour, his friends began
to seatch for him. Meanwhile, one of those
who seemed most uneasy at the absence of
the boy was a dog, who was a great favorite
Approaching the place where the boy was
buried, the dog stopped, snuffed the air, and
whined piteously. He then began trying to
dig into the drift. The party then began
digging and throwing aside the snow. The
dog dashed in beneath their shovels and
found the boy's cap. lie evidently knew to
whom it belonged, for as he drag Red it forth
it gave him., great joy, and he barked gladly.
Here was a trace, at least, but it was not
without fear and trembling that search was
continued, and with the help of the dog,
who seemed as earnest as auy of the party,
the boy was soon found there in his snow
bed. The little fellow had suffered no inju
ry, whatever, said it was quite warm in the
snow, and that he wasn't afraid, because he
knew his friends would come for him.
A Jollt Mistake. Tho Minnesota
Stoats-Zeitung, a gcrman paper, is respon
sible for the following good hit :
"By command of his high mightiness, the
ex-taflor Andy, some one of the numerous
clerks in Washington was recently set at
work to renew the commission as postmas
ter for Farmington, Dakota county, of J. C.
Andrews a bosom friend of "Andy's," and
a first-class bread-and-butter man. But the
dark, being absent-minded, or thinking per
haps more of some other clerk in crinoline,
blundered, and wrote, instead of J. C. An
drews, J. C. Edwards. Now there is; by
odd luck a J: C. Edwards in Farmington :
but he is "a full-blood nigger," black as the
ace of spades, "sassy as a stotk of mon
keys," and, as we hear, more intelligent.
better educated, and considerably better
qualified to run the machine than J. (;.
Andrews. And so it came to pass, in the
second year of his reign, that Andv, the
nigger-killer, appointed a darkey in Minne
sota to be postmaster."
Maryland. The Maryland Legislature,
last week, repealed the law providing for vt
new election in Baltimore. The secret of
the repeal has leaked out It appears- that
in the new franchise law, throwing open" suf
frage to the traitors, all citizens were clothed
with this right, and it was only when the fact
was pointed out that under this statute, and by
the plain meaning of the civil rights law; ne
groes were citizens and could therefore vote
in the coming election, that they round trat
their mistake. Alarmed at the prospect of
losing everything, the Swannites hastily re
pealed the law, and the present city govern
ment will continue; uuless intermediately
dismantled, until November of 1868.
Acquittal op C. V. Culver. The
trial of C. V. Culver and James S. Austin,
for embezzlemeirt, was concluded at Franklin
on Feb. 6th. The jury after a short absence
returned a verdict, not guilty, and that the
prosecutor, John Duffiold, pay the costs.
The verdict was received with demonstra
tions of applause by the audience in court,
and causes general rejoicing.
' John Ward has-been appointed Postmas
ter at Annville, Lebanon county. Nearly
til the people of Annville, without distinc
tion of party, desired that the widow of the
deceased Postmaster, Mr. Stroh, should re
ceive the appointment, but their wishes were
disregarded.. . v .
The High School at Martinsburg, Blair
county, has passed into the hands of the Al
leghany Synod of the Lutheran Church.
Bev. J.W.Schwartz is the present Principal
The President's New Plan.
For several weeks past, Gov. Worth, of
North Carolina, Gov. Orr, of South Caro
lina, Gov. Marvin, of Florida, Gov. Sh?r
key, of Mississippi, and Gov. Parsons, of
Alabama, have been in "W astyngton City,
and in frequent conference with President
Johnson. It seems that these interviews
have resulted. in the hatching of a new
scheme of Reconstruction, which, in sub
stance, is as follows: 1. That no State has
a right to renounce the Union; 2. That
the National Government has no right to
eject a State from the Union, or to deprive
it of representation in Congress ; 3. That
the debt of the United States shall be sa
cred and inviolate ; 4. That neither the
United States nor any State shall assume or
pay a debt incurred in aid of rebellion ; 5.
That all persons born or naturalized in this
country shall be accounted citizens of the
United States and of any State in which
they may resida, and shall have full protec
tion for life, liberty and property, from both
the National and local Governments ; 0.
That representation in Congress and Electo
ral Colleges shall be apportioned by count
ing all the population, excluding only Indi
ans not taxed, and that whenever any person
shall be denied the risrht of. suffrage on ac
count of race, color or former condition of
servitude, then the entire class so excluded
shall not Ikj counted in apportioning repre
sentation.
These propositions embrace an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, which, according to the programme,
is to be submitted to' Congress, and the peo
ple, by one or all of the lately seceded States.
In addition to this change in the Federal
Constitution, they alsopropose that changes
shall be made in the Constitutions of the
Southern States, so as to provide that every
male citizen who has resided in the particu
lar State for one year, and in the county in
which he offers to vote six months immedi
ately preceding the day of election, and can
read the Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution of the United States in the
English language and write his name, or
who may be the owner of $250 worth of
taxable property, shall be entitled to vote at
all elections for Governor of the State, mem
bers of the Legislature and all other officers,
the election of whom may be by the people
of the State. To reach the case of natural
ized citizens who do not read English, or
who can not read at all, it is proposed to
provide that no person shall be excluded
from voting who has heretofore exercised
the elective franchise under the Constitution
i or lawn of any 3tate, or wlio, at tlx, time of
the adoption of this amendment, may be
entitled to vote under said Constitution and
laws.
A comparison of this new Presidential
scheme with the pending Constitutional
Amendment, will, at a glance, reveal the
difference between the two. The pending
amendment prohibits the leading rebels from
holding office under the National or State
governments, while thus new plan inflicts no
penalty whatever upon the rebels who tried
to destroy the Government per contra; it
places those who fought to destroy the
Union on the same footing with those who
fought to save the Union, and who did savs
it from destruction by traitors. Nay, more.
This new Presidential scheme restores the
rebels at once to a perfect equality with
those who were loyal to the Government
it utterly ignores the character of the strug
gle through which the country has passed,
and virtually admits that no wrong had been
committed by the rebels, and hence no need
of punishing traitors nor of muking "treason
odious." Such being the character of this
new reconstruction plan of President John
son, it is but natural that every truly' loyal
heart should instinctively turn from it and
seek safety in the fidelty of Congress. Then,
let the people heartily sustain their repre
sentatives in Congress, and all will be well'
the Union will be preserved, and traitors
will be punishtiL
Tlie terms of the contract resulting in the
election of Garrett Davis in Kentucky,have
been disclosed. The rebel Legislature agreed
to vote for Davis with the understanding
that the Conservatives should support an
active rebel for the next Governor, and that
rebels should be run for Congress fa all Con
servative Districts of the State.
It is reported that Gov. Curtin, and fam
ily, will sail for Europe about the end of
February that he expects to be absent
about three months, and will extend his trip
to Italy and that on his return he will re-locate
at Bellefonte.
The Altoona Tribune has been enlarged
to a seven column paper, and refitted with
an entire new suit of type. It looks well
The Tribune has always been a spicy and en
tertaining sheet, and promises well for the
future.
Gov. Geary has issued his warrant for the
execution of Alex. R. B.Wiley, of Luzerne
county, on Friday, the loth of March. Wi
ley was convicted of the murder of Alice Mc
Elwce last May.
The meteorologists report the month of
January the first in seventy years that has
passed by without a thaw. There was not
the sign of a thaw in the entire month. j
President Johnson, on Feb. 5th. sent to
the Senate the nomination of M. A. Frank i
of Clearfield, as Assessor of the Nineteenth
Penn. a District
Uotes from Harrishnrg.
State Treasurer Kemble has advertised,
in accordance with the law just passed, for
a new loan of $23,000,000, to redeem the
over-due bonds of the State. There is little
doubt, the new loan will be promptly taken.
The Senate Railroad Committee have re
ported the bill, restoring the charter of the
Connellsville railroad, with a negative re
commendation. Its passage is doubtful.
Most of the members of the legislature
visited Pittsburg last week, with a view of
visiting the several charitable institutions in
that citv and vicinity.
A general Railroad bill has been reported,
and the impression gains strength that it
will become a law; yet there are reason to
apprehend that amendments will be forced
into it that will greatly restrict its usefulness.
The friends of the measure, however, are
endeavoring to pass it in the best shape
possible, and trust to the future Legislatures
to supply all deficiencies, and make the law
what it should be. That a large majority
of the people of the Commonwealth are in
favor of a General Railroad law, no one
conversant with the history of the past
year will deny. Senator Lowry, of Erie,
in the course of debate in the Senate, re
called the fact that Gov. Geary, early in
the canvass last year, pledged himself to
sustain the measure; and, Mr. Lowry added,
but for this declaration Gov. Geary would
have been .beaten fifty thousand a state
ment which should be well considered by
those who aspire to future official positions.
Intimations are given that a bill will be
brought before the Legislature to repeal the
law authorizing the election of District At
torneys by the people, and restoring the ap
pointment of these officers to the Attorney
General. Better change the Constitution
and make the Attorney General elective.
There are sinister rumors afloat to the ef
fect that certain members of the Joint Com
mittee appointed to investigate charges of
bribery and corruption, in connection with
the Senatorial election, attempted or actual
ly succeeded in turning their position there
on to pecuniary account. Considering the
eminent character and transparent unselfish
ness of all the gentlemen serving on that
Committee, we attach no importance to
these reports. But, would it not be singu
lar if these inculpations should assume such
consistency as to render it necessary or ex
pedient to investigate the Investigating
Committee?
The Democrats Opposed to the Tariff.
Mr. Bigham presented the following reso
lutions in the Senate on February 4th, i :
Whereas, the House of Representatives
of the Thirty-ninth Congress at its first ses
sion passed a bill imposing duties upon for
eign goods, wares and merchandise import
ed into the United States, and also securing
increased protection to our industrial, man
ufacturing and mining interests;
And ichcreax, The Senate of the United
States has also within a few days passed this
same bill wieh sundry amendments thereto ;
And whereas, The Legislature of Penn
sylvania deems the passage of this bill as vi
tal to all the interestsof this Commonwealth,
and fears that further discussion of its de
tails may endanger its final passage ; there
fore be it
Resolved by the Senate, and House of Rep
resentatives of Pennsylvania in General
AKSfimbfy:
That the members of the House of Repre
sentatives in Congress from Pennsylvania be
earnestly requested to unite in passing the
tariff bill in the form it came from the Sen
ate, trusting to future legislation to correct
errors, if such be found therein.
2. That if, in any possible contingency,
this bill would hereafter come before both
branches of Congress, that the Senators and
Representatives in Congress from this State
be earnestly requested to unanimously vote
for the passage of this bill, as the best that
can be secured to replenish the national treas
ury and protect the industrial interests of
Pennsylvania.
Mr. Bigham explained the necessity of
the immediate passage of the joint resolu
tion in order to secure the- passage of the
Tariff bill by the present Congress.
Mr. Searight (Democrat) spoke against
the passage of the bill, and desired to have
his vote on the record against the measure.
On the question.Shall the joint resolution
pass ?
The yeas and nays wer required by Mr.
Graham and Mr. Taylor, and were as fol
lows, viz:
Yeas Messrs. Bigham,Billingfelt,Brown,
(Mercer, ) Browne, (Lawrence,) Coleman,
Connell, Cowles, Fisher, Graham, Haines,
Landon, Lowry, M'Conaughy, Shoemaker,
Stutzman, Taylor, White, Worthington and
Hall, Spealer 15:
Nays Messrs. Davis. Donovan, Glatz,
Jackson, James, Randall, Schall, Searinht.
andWalls-9.
So the question was determined in the af
firmative. Here we have tho name of every Repub
lican Senator present voting in favor of the
Tariff bill, whilst every Democratic Senator
present voted against the protection of
American industry. We deem further
comment unnecessary.

A Sad Accident. We learn from the
Pittsburg Dispatch that a boy named Pat
rick Gillen, aged nine years who resided
with his mother at Gallitzin, was killed, on
Saturday, Feb. 2d, by a train going cast
His body was firss found fast in the brakes,
a short distance from Bennington, and
was almost torn in nieces: his sled and
a pair of mittens were found where the train
had stopped, at Gallitzin. It is supposed
that he had got upon the train for the pur
pose of getting coal, and of hauling it on
his sled, as he had beenseen doing this at
different times before. No person, howev
er, observed mm getting on the train oa
this occasion.
"Washington City Gossip.
Some merriment was created in the House,
the other day, by Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, who
rose to a personal explanation, in regard to
a statement published in the Cincinnati
Commeraial, that he had consulted Butler
and Stevens and others on the resolution in
troduced by him some time since, proposing
to investigate the conduct of high officers of
the Government, charged with misdemean
ors the article also representing that, in a
conversation with Mr. Bingham, he(Ashly)
had said that the resolution was intended to
reach Gen. Grant. The reading of the ar
ticle created a great deal of amusement, es
pecially that portion wherein 31 r. Bingham
is represented as denouncing Ashley as a
fool. Some of the Democrats then wanted
Mr. Bingham also to make an explanation,
but that gentleman, amid much laughter,
replied he had nothing to say ; and there the
matter dropped.
The politicians begin to talk of the organ
ization of the Fortieth Congress. Colfax
will be Speaker again, and McPherson will
be Clerk. The House can't do better. No
body is spoken of but Colfax for Speaker,
and it would not surprise me if the Demo
crats made no nomination against him. 1
hear of one or two men who would like to
be Clerk, but "they can't come in." Mc
Pherson is capable, honest, and thoroughly
reliable and radical.
The Indian Appropriation Bill was pas
sed, with but one amendment, and that was
to prohibit Gov. Alex. Cummingsfrom dis
bursing any moneys as Indian Agent in Col
orado. ...
The President has signed an important
bill relating to habeas corpus. It provides
that the several courts of the United State,
and the several Justices and J udges of such
courts within their respective jurisdiction,
in addition to the authority already confer
red by law, shall have power to grant writs,
of habeas corpus in all cases where any per
son may be restrained of his liberty in vio
lation of the Constitution or of any treaty
or law of the United States, and it shall be
lawful for such person so restrained of his
liberty to apply to either of said judges for
a writ of habeas corpus, and if any person
to whom such writ of habeas corpus may be
directed shall refuse to obey the same or
shall neglect or refuse to make return there
to, in addition to the remedies already given
by law, he or they shall be deemed and ta
ken to be guilty of a misdeuieanor,and shall,
on conviction before any court of competent
jurisdiction, be punished by fine not exceed
ing one thousand dollars and by imprison
ment not exceeding one 3rear, or by either,
according to the nature and aggravation of
the case.
It is believed to be a fact, that of all the
distinguished and able army officers who
have been summoned to V ashmgton, not
one of them favors the President s policy,
though all of them were reckoned as
"conservatives." To secure the fruits of
the war. their verdict is, nothing less than
the Constitutional Amendment should be
thought of.
It is believed that a sufficient number of
returned rebels have been registered in
Georgetown ' to defeat the Union ticket in
the coming election there, but Congress
will interfere with its shield and buckler be
fore the wrong is perfected.
It is known to persons resident here,
though, perhaps, net to the country gener
ally, that John H. Surratt had a brother
Isaac, who was in the rebel army during the
war. It has just come to light that this
brother went to Mexico immediately after
the-downlall of Richmond. Nothing was
known of him till October, 18fi5, when Gen.
Sheridan, then as now, at New Orleans,
learned that he had appeared in Monterey,
and crossed into Texas with the avowed in
tention of coming to Washington to assas
sinate the President General Steele, in
command on the frontier, very soon confirm
ed this intelligence ; and Secretary Stanton
thereupon felt justified in placing a guard
about ti,e White House, which- was kept
there for some time. No intimation of the
matter was given to the President, as it was
feared that he would refuse such protection,
lie finally got an idea into his head that the
guards were detecti ves,amlflalled the Secreta
ry to account iu violent language. This led to
explanations, and the subsequent withdrawal
of the guards.
The attempt to galvanize the Democratic
party by the old Copperheads in this vicini
ty has created quite an indignant protect.
and the National Intelliaeuce.r, speaking in
the interests of the secessionists, is furious
at the suggestion of a Democratic National
Convention. Col. Florence, of the Consti
tutional Union, is very anxious for the re
suscitation of t he old Democracy ; whereas
the Intelligencer and its school regard the
proposal simply as a preparation for a con
tinuous funeral. In tact all the signs indi
cate that every attempt to make an organi
zation against the Republicans in ISfitf will
be a distnai failure. There is no surer siirn
of this than the cosfessions of the ex-rebels
now in Washington, and the fact that their
friends are everywhere giving up Andrew
Johnson in despair. The evident indisposi
tion of the Senate to confirm Republicans
wno nave taKen office trom Andrew John
son, en the plea of assisting to break up
their own party, meets with warm approval
from the rank and file of the Republican or
ganization. Senator Wilson submitted to the Senate
a communication from the Secretary of War,
transmitting from General Grant the plan
proposed by Col. Barker, of his staff, for
establishing permanent peace with the In
dians. It proposes, first, the transfer of the
management of Indian affairs to the War
Department for many reasons, among which
is the necessity of abolishing the trading
agency system. Second, the establishment
of territorial governmet8 for Indians.
Third, the appointment of an inspection
board as a temporary measure to examine
account of Indian agents and inspect goods
and agricultural implements furnished In
dians. Fourth, a commission consisting of
whites and educated Indians to visit all
tribes, hold talks with them, show them the
benefits of permanent peace, and the aban
donment of nomadio- life, the adoption of
agricultural pursuits, and of consolidating
in one territory. It can never adopt the
policy of a total extermination of the Indian
race without a cost of untold treasure and
lives of her people, besides exposing to the
abhorrence and censure of the entire civil
ized world. Maj. Gen. Pope has written a
letter to Gen. Grant in favor of the transfer
of the Indian- Bureau to the War Depart
ment. It is announced as a piece of very pleas
ing intcBigcncei in a Richmond paper, that
Gen. Sheridatt's refusal to allow a great pa-
radejof funeral honors at the burial of A. j
S. Johnston's remaius, is "severely censur
ed by many at the North, as wholly incon
sistent with either the sentiment of chival
ry and humanity." Very likely this is so.
Many things that General Sheridan has done
within the past years, have been severely
censured by the same class of persons. Vir
ginia was overrun with reports of his wild
pranks. And these persons at the North
who now ensure him thought his operations
then inconsistent with chivalry and human
ity. The free traders are in a fury over the tar
iff bill that has passed the Senate, and will
make every effort to kill it in the House ;
but its friends are very sanguine. Mr. Fes
sendon and Mr. Wells earnestly favor its
passage. The National Intelligencer assails
it, of course ; but it does not therefore, fol
low that the President will veto it Its ag
gregate provisions are supposed to be very
acceptable to the Secretary of the Treasury.
It is stated on high authority that Baker,
the detective, in his testimony before the
Judiciary Committee, in the impeachment
matter, said he had once in his possession a
letter written by Andrew Johnson, when
Military Governor of Tennessee, addressed
to Jeff. Davis, offering to identify himself
and Tennessee with the Southern Confeder
acy on certain terms ; that being doubtful
of the genuineness of the signature to the
letter, he (Baker) showed the signature to
the President's Private Secretary, who pos
itively identified the handwriting.
The Nebraska bill was passed over the
President's veto, in the Senate, without a
word of debate, by a vote of 31 to 9 ; and
in the House, by 1 20 to 44. The State is to
be admitted by Presidential proclamation
so soon as the Territorial Legislature shall
have ratified the fundamental condition of
universal suffrage.
. The petition sent to the President by Ken
tucky Democrats, asking for the pardon of
John C. Breckinridge and permission for
him to return to this country, and the nom
ination by Democrats of Ballard county of
that distinguished conspirator for Governor
of the State, are two significant political
items, going to show what are the designs
of the rebels and the use they seek to make
of the President in executing them. It
would he difficult to name a man more guilty
than Breckinridge, and it is , precisely for
the part he took that the Democratic party
would confer upon him tic highest honors
of the State. Not only does the movement
betray a feeling dangerous to the Union but
an audacity equal to anything connected with
the rebellion itself : and it should le regard
ed as one of the things that sharply instruct
Congress in its duty.
The new organization of theMilitary agen
cy of Pennsylvania, under the instructions
of Gov. Geary, bids fair to be most effective.
U. S. Mail. Special aeents of the Post
office Department arc constantly on the "go"
to ferret out the many di3crepcncies that

of th Bread and liutter brigade. A gen
