(. 1. ROW, BDITQR. A!IO PBOTRIETOR.
CliEAR FIELD, PA., APRIL. 5, 1867.
Personal. One day last week, a copy
of the Journal, of March 13th, 1807, direc
ted to "T. W. Stone, liber's Run," Clinton
eonnty, Pa.," was returned to this office,
ith the following note written on the mar
gin :
"T, W Stone has gone to Flutough Dark de
Mains where all the Niger worshiper will go Ho
better Keep your Infernel Lieing Paper at Home."
This endorsement was evidently made by
die Postmaster, or clerk, of Hiner's Run
I'ostojSue, as the paper had been pulled out
of the wrapper, the note written thereon
and replaced ; after which the name of Mr.
' Stone was erased on the one side of the
wrapper and directed "Journal, Clearfield,
Pa on the other.
iow, tnevue wretch who could thus in
tuit the family and friends of Mr. Stone,
who, we would infer from the note, is dead.
by telling them that he has gone to hell be
cause he was a Republican, is not fit to live
in any decent community, and deserves the
Hcorn and contempt of all respectable and
intelligent people. Besides, the writer vir
tually brands himself as a mean, servile,
crouching Copperhead as a Rebel at heart,
who was too base and craven a coward to
cpenly ally himself with the traitors of the
Southas one who, Satan-like, speakingly
and meanly insinuates his elimy and loath
some carcass into the presence of decent
and loyal men, whenever he can and as one
who verily is a fit representation of "Pluto's
dark domains." .The writer is welcome to
his fling at ns,.but he 'should beware how
he slanders the dead.
Treaty; with Russia. On Saturday,
March 30th, the President communicated
to the Senate, then in Executive session,
a treaty with Russia, by which that power
surrenders to the Unite! States its soverrign
ty over all Russian, America and adjacent
islands. . The treaty specially includes the
etrip of land 409 miles wide, which extends
down the coast to near Queen Charlotte'
Island, thus nearly excluding British A'mer
ica from the Pacific ocean. This cession
excites intense interest ; and it is said that
the English representative at Washington is
sorely chagrined thereat, and that he will
telegraph to Earl Derby for instructions to
protest against its acceptance-by our govern
ment. The acquisition of the Russian pos
sessions will more than double the United
States coast on the Pacific. The price to
be paid for this territory is about seven
millions of dollars. The impending Euro
pean complications on the p?astern question,
is believed to have induced Russia to sell
thi3 territory, as in the event of a war she
tfoubl probably lose it. The -treaty will
have to be ratified by the Senate, and the
" purchase money provided by Congress, be
fore it is fully consummated,' which, no
doubt, will be done.
More Murders. The trouble with mi
ners in Schuylkill county continues. On
March 22d, the Burrell tavern, near Malone
Plains, was surronnded by a party of six or
eight "Molly McGuires," and the proprie
tor ordered to surrender all his valuables.
He refused and fired shots into the crowd,
killing one and wounding another. The
wounded man was arrested, but refused to
divulge anything concerning the secret or
der to which he belonged. A few days pre
vious to this the superintendent of one of
the mines in the same county was fchot, by
tome "Molly McGuire3," whilst lie was
driving home in his sulky, in broad daylight.
Murders are of such frequent occurrence in
the coal region, that life and property are
at all times in imminent danger, and beyond
the protection of the civil authorities. In
view of this fact, application has been made
to the Governor, and to the Legislature, to
devise some means to restore order, afford
security to life and property, and punish the
guilty. j
As it Sho.ct,d be. Some four hundred
of .the battle-stained flags and guidons of
th regiments of Illinois have been careful
ly and neatly folded and stowed away in the
officeof the Adjutant General, at Spring
field, and upon the pola of each a seat sil
ver label in the shape of a ehield has been
affixed, bearing the number of the regiment
and arm of the service. In their solemn
and stately silence they look like so many
sentinels still on a live duty. ,
Stubbed by his Friends. Frank P.
Blair, ad dressed a Copperhead meeting at
Hartford on Monday, March 25th. He was
so incoherent that the "faithful" hissed
him and insulted him in every possible way
and finally hooted him from the stage.
They would not hear him, and he retired
crest-fallen when about half through his
muddled harangue.
Union League in the South. In oi
ganizing the loyal Southern people under
the Reconstruction law, the Union League
is likely to prove an important auxiliary.
In the Northern pari of Alabama, we are
informed and it is true of other portions
ot the South colored voters are readily ad
mitted members of the League, and there
g a good prospect of carrying a number of
the Southern" States through this and simi
lar instrumentalities in the hands of the Re
publicans. Our friends in Washington have
moved in the matter of assisting in the or
ganization of the South end the prbsecu
tion of the campaign. Although the time
has been long and the contest severe, the
loyal people in the South have only just got
into a position where they can fight.
1 'Surrendered to toe Enemy. ' ' Tam
many Hall, the noted wigwam of the Democ
racy of New York, has been sold to Dana,
Conkling& Co., for $150,000. The Tam
manyites reserved the right to take up the
corner stone of the building, and to use fjr
one year, the main room in which the gen
eral Committee meets. The building wa3
erected in 1811. . Long before the purpose
was mada known to take up the corner stone
of Tammany the corner stone of the De
mocracy represented by the tribe which met
in that ancient hall, was up-rooted by the
struggle to save the country from the rav-
ases of rebellion. That corner stone was
slavery. .
Counseling Acceptance. While some
of the Southern newspapers are still dispos
ed to fight acainst fate, a number of them
counsel the people of that section to accept
the situation, mainly because there is n6
hope of anything better. The Congression
al plan of reconstruction has brought the
late rebels face to face with the stern fact
that nothing short of submission to the pow
er of the Government as represented in Con
gress will do. This being thoroughly un
derstood by the Southern people, the work
of genuine reconstruction will progress with
extraordinary rapidity.
Pat of Army Officers. The pay and
allowance of army officers, n its peace foot
ing, are reported to be as follows; General
Grant, $18,000 ; Lieut. Gen.' Sherman.$H
814: Maj. Gen. Halkck,$7.7l7 ; Maj.Gen.
Meade,$7,717; Maj. Gen. Sheridan, $7,717;
Maj. Gen. Thomas, $7,717; Brig. General
McDowell, $5,C17;- Brig. Gen. Rosecrans,
$5,517 ; Colonels, $4,500; Lieut. Colonels,
$3,994; Majors, $3,765 ; Captains, $3,049;
First Lieutenants, $2,713; and Second
I "Lieutenants, $2,653. Who -wouldn't be a
soldier?
Common Sense. The New York Eve
ning Gazette refers to certain classes of des
titute and degraded in New York, for whose
relief and reformation means are greatly
needed. It suggests that want and misery
at home are as well worth attending to as
starvation and suffering in the Southern
States and Candia. The suggestion would
apply to charitable enterprises iit other lo
calities a3 well as New York.
The Eastern Question. The Sebasto
pol dinner, annually shared by those officers
who shared in the campaign, has just come
off at St. Petersburg. General MenkofF,
who delivered the speech of the evening,
remarked among other things that the e
vents now preparing in the Ea.st were a har
binger of the good times coming, in which
both Sebastopol and the Black Sea fleet
would be reconstructed.
Not Leavixg Empty-Handed. A dis
patch from Paris states that an Imperial
steam transport has just arrived from Mexi
co at St. Nazaire with a small detachment
of troops and twelve millions of dollars in
treasure. Napoleon was evidently deter
mined not to leave Mexico as empty-handed
as he went there. The mines have been
attended to as well as the interest of Maxi
milian. "We bave launched . our barque upon the
broeze " Lycoming Standard.
Wonder if the Colonel modeled his
"barque" after the famous "flying machine"
frequently announced within the past few
years ? If so, won' t he go a kiting over Ly
coming county as he files his "barque" in
the "breeze" with his "Standard" flutter
ing at its stem ?
Extra Session. The President, on the
30th of March, issued a proclamation, con
vening an extra session of the United States
Senate, on Monday, April 1 st, for the trans
action of Executive business. Over two
hundred nominations to office are now pend
ing that body, and more are to be sent in.
Increased their Pay. The Pennsylva
nia Legislature has increased the pay of its
members from one thousand dollars per
session, to thirteen hundred and fifty dollars.
The Copperhead journals are rejoicing be
cause the freedmen are all going to vote the
Copperhead ticket. Why didn't they find
it out before ? VYe all knew it long ago.
The German miners, in the thirteenth

Notes from Harrisburg.
A registry law has been reported from the
Judiciary Committe, into the Senate, which U
similar, in most of its pro.isions. to the New York ;
law It is said Judge Pearson is the author of the :
bill. The act requires As?esr3 to keep a regis-
f,. ..r i,K ,-,-, T,rivat residences nnd
produce the same,, at the place of election, four- j
teen days previous to the election, to the judges j
and inspectors, who with the assessor, shall meet j
on me tweutn day preceding me secouu J-uesaay
in October, and continue in session from nine to
six o'clock, to receive the names of persons cot
before, registered, and hear and decide upon
claims to vote ; and no person shall be allowed to
vote whose nme docs not appear upon the reg
istry, but any registered name may be challenged
just as if no registry of the name had been made,
and the election board may pass upon such chal
lenge; the penalty for receiving non-registered
.vqes shall be fine and imprisonment, ut the dis
cretion of the Court. The same meeting of the
fioard and registry shall be had twelve days pre
ceding every Presidential election. At every
special, and at every city, and borough and town
ship election, the registry iaay be used as proof
of the right to vote, unless satisfactory rebutting
testimony shall be produced. On the petition of
five citizens that they believe that frauds are
about to be perpetrated at the polls, the courts of
the county, or the Judge, in vacation tnereut, may
uppuiui iwu iuiciuus, snuer unu miuiiigeub citi
zens to act as overseers of any poll or polls, who
shall be selected from different political parties,
where the inspectors are of diiTerent parties, and
where both inspectors are of one political party,
both of the overseers shall bo taken from the op
posite party : the inspectors to furnish such over
seers with every facility for understanding and
taking notes of all decided on by the board, and
to challenge votes. The bill also provides heavy
fines for any "clerk or prothonotary, who shall is
sue any fraudulent naturalization paper, or issue
such paper or blank to be used by any person at
the polls.
The fresh tragedies enacted in Schuylkill
county seem to have had the effect of arousing
the Legislature to a sense of duty towards that
region. A bill will pass giving increased police
facilities and regulating other matters conducive
to the public peace in that District.
The Senate Military Committee have reported
a new Militia bill,. which authorizes the receivers
of taxes to collect four dollars from each citizen
capable of bearing arms, who does not belong to
a military organization formed under the act, for
the establishment of a military fund.
The question of a Constitutional Convention Is
attracting some attention, a special committee
having been appointed some time since to whom
was referred the subject. The- Committee will
likely report a bill shortly, but as to its provis
ions nothing is, as yet, known. The Republicans
generally favor such a convention, but the Dem
ocrats are opposed to it. Modern Democracy
seems to be opposed to all reform. The Demo
crats opposed the calling of a convention in New.
York, and they will oppose a convention iu this
State, unless some political advantage will accrue
to them, which is not likely. But time will re
veal all things. Let us wait and see.
About seventeen hundred bills have .been re
ported to the Legislature. F'lll four-fifths of
.these are of a purely local character, and many
of them merely personal, and are properly sub
jects for the county courts or commissioners. The
Constitution should be so amended as to confine
this immense ma?S of petty legislation within the
county where it originated, where the parties are
known, and where evidence is accessible. Such
amendment would remove from the Legislature a
great source of annoyance, and would confine that
body to legislation of a general character only
its legitimate sphere. The act recently passed by
the Senate regulating the carrying ot baggage by
railroads, allows each passenger one hundred
pounds of baggage, not over three hundred dol
lars in value, for which the company shall be re
sponsible if said baggage is placed' in the baggage
car, but the company is not liable fo any article
taken by the passenger into the car in which he
is riding.
. Maryland's Appeal. The Republican
members of the Maryland Legislature have
addressed a memorial to Congress, the tone
and purpose of which will be gathered from
the following extracts :
"The rebels of Maryland sent South du
ring the war some twenty thousand soldiers
to the rebel army. . These men have nearly
all returned, and an emigration from the
South since the war has largek- added to
their number. By doubtful construction of
a clause of the existing Constitution,
this General Assembly, thus elected.

j what treason they may have committed, and
...w.., IIIUILCI
have tans added to the voting population
about thirty thousand who h ive only lately
ceased an armed resistance to the Govern
ment. Not satisfied with" riiis, they have
just passed a militia bilf which, in direct.de
fiauce of the present Constitution of the
orate, lias made all white recei., no matter !
what their previous treason, part of the mi
litia force. They have, by deliberate vote,
refused to exclude, even from the highest
office under this law, any person, no matter
what his rank in the rebel army, and they
are about to put in force this law. the effect
of which is against our own Constitution
and the army laws of Congress, and which
puts in the rear of the capitol an armed
force, composed largely of the same men
who have "just been forced to cease armed
attempts to capture the capital. . . . The
danger of bloodshed is imminent and the
times are perilous. We call upon Con
gress not to adjourn before settling this
grave matter, which, if not settled, may
startle them, in their recess by something
worse than the massacre at New Orleans,
although not so unequal and one-sided. We
earnestly ask, on the part of the majority of
the people of Maryland, deprived of lejal
voice, except through us, a minority of the
General Assembly, that Congress will guar
antee to us a republican form of government
on the only basis of right, truth and peace
impartial suffrage, without respect to race
or color, as it has already guaranteed it to
the Southern States."
A religious awakening, such as has never
before been known, has broken out in Pitts
burg. It commenced with the week of
prayer, and still continues with unabated
interest. The religious awakenings all over
the country, and the proportions assumed
by the temperance reform, indicates that we
are on the eve of a grand moral revolution
Buch as the world never witnessed.

Both houses ot the Fortieth Congress ad
journed at noon on Saturday, March 30th,
until Wednesday the second day of July,
1807. The President was at the Capitol,
with most of his Cabinet, during the fore
noon, examining and signing bills. Contra
ry to general expectation, he signed the bill
repealing the law which gave three hundred
dollars to loyal owners of slaves, where the
latter enlisted in the Union army ; and the
bnj ft,,.,,;-,,, r ten thousand stand of arms
to the State of Tennessee for military pur
poses. .
The President also approved the bill pro
viding that hereafter wrapping paper made

or banker, or association, shall pay, tax of
ten per cent." on the amount of notes of any
town, city or municipal corporation, paid out

It is announced that the ordinance De
partment at Washington has about 40,000,
000 rounds of small arms ammunition for
sale. An offer was made last week from
New York to buy it at about one-half its
original cost, but the Government refused
to sell. This ammunition is held at so hiu'li
a figure, .it is reported that only a nation
about to engage in .war cau afford to pur
chase it.

Maj. Gen. Steadman, on March 30lh, was
confirmed by the Senate as Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the First District of Lou
isiana, which includes the city of New Or
leans. From Ireland. It was not without
cause, as was anticipated, that, for the.last
two or three weeks, the British Government
having complete command over the Atlan
tic table, snppresed the news from Ireland.
There had boon something extremely like
actual rebellion in that country, from the 5th
to the ISth of March (the date of our latent
English and Irish p:xpers)and while this re
volt was partial in the Northeast of the
island, it was general in the vicinity of Dub
lin, and throughout the whole of Munster
that is in the counties of Kerry, Cork,
Limerick, Clare, Tipperary and Waterford.
It had most strength in Cork, Limerick and
Tipperary. The general plan seems to have
been to attack the Isolated ilice station.
and to pay nocturnal visits to the houses of
landlords and tenant farmers, the object
being to obtain arms tnd ammunition. In
very few instances was personal violence
done to any person even the po!ie when
captured, were treated with preat forbear
ance' after being disarmed. If the newspa
per accounts can be relied upon, "the re
(Killron is crushed," and the defeated Fenians
had been driven by the army ami police to
the mountains ot Tipperary. But. against
this is the fact that it had been necessary to
fortify Dublin Castle in the strongest man
ner, the reason assigned being that "if. it
it was once known in America that the green
flag floated over that fortress, thousands
would hasten over the Atlantic to join , in
the strife." It is noticeable, too, that fur
ther military reinforcements were under
orders, from various parts of'England, for
the defence of Ireland. It has been an
nounced, in both Houses of Parliament,
that there would be no necessity for putting
Ireland under Martial law. A great many
prisoners will be tried by Special Commis
sion, and the London press strongly urges
upon the British Government the politic
necessity of punishing the prominent per
sons who may be convicted, not with penal
servitude, but with death. The Rebellion,
it seems to us, is far from being exhausted.

Enforcing ttie Law i.v Detail. Some
time ago a citizen of Carbon township,
Huntington county, brought 500 suits for
his use and the use of the Directors of the
Poor of Huntington county, against the
Powelton Coal and Iron Company, together
with some 140 suits against Wm. A. Orbi
son, for making and passing shinplasters in
violation of law. The suits were lately tried
before a justice, and a clear violation ot law
having been proven, judgments were enter
ed against the defendants for five dollars
and costs in each case; amounting, it is said,
to $3,200 and costs. That's what we can
fairly call enforcing the law in detarl, and it
is right.
Sale op a Large Lumber Trmtt
Messrs. Fred. A. Howe & Co., of Meadville,
have sold an immense lumber property in
Forest and Warren counties to the Pitts
burgh and Forest County Lumber Company
for two hundred thousand dollars. Mr.
Howe retains a large interest in the new
company. This is the largest real estate
sale that has lately been made in the neigh
borhood of the oil region. The lands are
on the Tionesta, and are covered with the
finest pine, hemlock, oak, and other valuable
timber, and mills are now actively engaged
in getting out the lumber for maaket.
'.The Chester Coal Fields. ' ,
Professor Waterhouse gives, in the last
Merchant's Magazine, a particular account
of the Chester coal fields, ot which so much
has been said in the newspapers. These
fields are located in Randolph, Jackson and
Perry comities, in the State of Illinois.
Eighteen thousand acres have been tested,
and three stratus ot coal found. The area
examined is estimated to contain 450,000,000
tons. The mines are accessible and conve
nient, being only twelve miles from the Mis
sissippi river, fifty miles from the Iron
Mountains of Missouri, and seventy-two
miles from St. Louis bv river. A railroad
from Chester to the mines is contemplated.
Professor Watoi house says that the Chester
coal is free from, impurities, having less than
one per cent, ot sulphur, and comparatively
little bitumen. It has been tested in blast
furnaces at Ironton, Ohio: It is claimed
that this coal can be delivered on the banks
of the Mississippi at $1 50 a ton. and at St.
Louis for $2 20 a ton. and that for the man-,
ufacture of irOn .it does not require to be
changed into coke.
The discovery and development of these1
immense coal fields will have a tendency to
revolutionize the West in more ways than
one. and to a degree which will scarcely be
realized, even when accomplished. The
tendency will, be to make regions now en
tirely devoted to agricultural pursuits, great
manufacturing localities, and with this
change of vocations will come a change of
feeling for governmental policy. To daj'
the West is the great upholder of free trade.
The embarrassments now suffered by certain
manufacturers from foreign competition in
flicted by low tariffs, are due entirely to the
persistent efforts if Western men to prevent
the protection of home industry. W ith
iron and coal at their doors, we expect to
see Western members of Congress clamor
ing as fiercely for protection as they now
oppose it. r ifiy years ago the Southern
States were opposed, and the Northern
Suites in-tavor.ot lree trade. In hlty years
hence, who can say whether a piniilar change
will not take place m the Unnds of the lead
ing men ot the Eastern and Western States.
Time works many chanares.
