Republican State Convention.
The "Republican State Convention" will
meet at tha "Herdic House," in Williams
port, on Wednesday, the 26th of June next,
at 10 o'clock, A, M., to nominate a candidate
for Judge of the Supreme Court, and to in
itiate proper measures for the ensuing State
canvass. As heretofore, the Convention will
be coni posed of Representative and Senato
rial Delegates, choseu in the usual way, and
equal in number to the whole of the Sena
tors and Representatives in the General As
sembly. By order cf the State Central Com
mittee. F. Jordan, Chairman.
Protection to Home Industry.
In view of the activity of the Free Trade
League in this country, and the action of
the New York Democracy in suggesting
tree trrae as a prominent plank in tneir
platform, the friends of Home Industry
held a meeting in the City of New York on
May 8th, preliminary to a thorough organi
zation of the friends of Protection. Twelve
States were represented in the meeting re
ferred, to which was composed of some two
hundred citizens favorable to Protection to
Home Industry among them Gov. Pier
pont of Virginia. A committee on organi
zation was appointed, after which the meet
ing adjourned to May 22d, when it is intend
ed to fully organize for a vigorous,determined
canvass of the whole country, by means of
meetings, speakers and documents. The
formation of protective societies, in every
village throughout the Union, to act in con
cert with the National organization, was
recommended.
That the so-called Democratic party will
be arrayed in opposition to Protection to
Home Industry, by incorporating a Free
Trade plank into its National platform in
1863, is almost morally certain, but will not
surprise any one conversant wiQi'its past
history. The leaders of that party always
have been the advocates of free trade, and
are likely to continue to be so. On the oth
er hand, the opposition of that party always
have been the friends, and will again espouse
the cause', of Protection to American Indus
try, should that be one of the issues in the
coming Presidential canvass. In view of
these facts it behooves the Republicans
everywhere to be active in disseminating
wholesome and correct information, so as to
be fully prepared to successfully meet the
issues that may be forced upon the country
by those who have in the past been the
friends and advocates of free trade, rebel
lion and treason.
"Coming to Time."
The following extract from the Charlotte
(North Carolina) Democrat, is of peculiar
force as showing that even those who sym
pathised with treason now approve of the
appropriateness of leaving the adjustment
of affairs in the South to those who were
true to the Union during the rebellion. The
declarations of the Democrat, in contrast
with the Northern Copperhead position on
the same -subject, are very instructive. It
says : ' '
'"The radical party at the North, in and
out of Congress, look upon a certain class of
men in each Southern State as peculiarly
loyal, and believe that they are the proper
ones to carry on the work of reconstruction.
We do not claim to belong to this class we
cannot do so, for we heartily sympathized
with the Confederate cause during the war
we make no claim to having been a Union
man we can only claim that t-ince the sur
render of Gen. I.ee we have favored a settle
ment of difficulties on the best terms we
could get from the conquering power. But
we have said, and will continue to say. that
it would be be'ter for us all if the work of
reconstruction was left to the party or class
that is considered 'loyal' by those who con
trol Congress. "
.' Luxembourg. Cable despatches state
that the Peace Conference has agreed on a
basis of deliberations, whatever that may
signify, as follows : Luxemburg, the bone of
contention, to remain in the possession of
the King of - Holland, who is also it3 duke ;
its neutralization is to be guaranteed, and, fi
nally, the fortress, as a precautionary mea
sure, to be razed and put out of the way en
tirely, on the same principle that naughty
children are deprived of a dangerous play
thing. It is to be hoped that this arrange
ment will restore quiet in Europe; I But we
shall soon see whether it will, or not.
Hard on Rats. We see it stated, that
"two companies of young men near Chili
cothe," Ohio, have Jusf terminated three
grand rat hunts, during which they killed
15,082 of the vermin." Chilicothe would
be a gooot place for Chinese epicures to lo
cate. A party of .Fenians in Cleveland boarded
a Britsh schooner on Monday, and tore down
her color.
. What They Aim At.
- We have frequently asserted, says the
Harrisburg Telegrph, that one of the secret
objects of the Copperheads North and the
traitors South (who call themselves Demo
crats,) since they have been defeated in de
stroying the Government, is the restoration
of slavery with all its attendant evils. This
determination crops out in the declarations
of the organs of Copperheadism. Here is
a specimen of it from the Argus, the organ
of the Copperheads of Westmoreland coun
ty. Thnt sheet says :
"The Argus, &3 heretofore, will not be
the exponent of a diluted or bastard De
mocracy, but the fearless exponent of the
principles of the fathers of our country
those who gave to us our matchless Consti
tution, and the Heaven born institutions.
It will advocate, yea, demand, if necessary,
the immediate restoration of the old Union
and the old Constitution at the point of the
bnyonet. Each State, and every individual
of all the States, with their "rights, dignity
and equality," as they were beloretbe ad
vent of the sap-head Lincoln and his aboli
tion fiends came into power."
This literally roean3 that the Democratic
party is bent on the restoration of slavery,
the repudiation of the national debt, the re
election of Davis, Breckinridge and other
traitors to Congress. Of course, such re
sults can never be accomplished, but this
declared determination to attempt to bring
them about fairly shows the animus Of Cop
perheadism. Politics of the Eebel States.
The Cincinnati Gazette thinks it probable
that of the fifteen States which held slaves
... n- a i
in isbO, .Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina,
Florida, and Texas, under the reconstruc
tion law, will vote radical ; Maryland, Vir
ginia, South Carolina, Oeorgia, and Ala
bama, conservative. Virginia, Georgia, and
Arkansas, have much the largest propor
tional white vote, and therefore the largest
number of rebel or conservative votes. In
South Carolina the negroes are probably
largely under the influence of their old mas
ters. On the other hand, in Texas, there is
a large white vote as well as a large negro
vote. In the Gulf States, if the negrors
are registered and vote, they must prevail,
and it is probable that this fact gave life to
Judge Sharkey's proceedings. In Virgi
nia they are not so anxious for injunction,
because the rebels there don't believe the
Radicals can prevail. But this is mere
speculation, yet it is not so certain that, as
time goes on, the old slave States will be
come radical, and probably in the end most
radical of all.
A Word, in Season.
The Williamsport Bulletin, in a late is
sue, makes the following timely and import
ant suggestions to those who stood by the
Union and Freedom during the late war, to
which we ask the attention of our readers :
"The Republican who wants to be of ser
vice to his party and render practical aid in
securing the triumph of his principles, can
best succeed by subscribing for a local Re
publican newspaper. There never was a
time more necessary than now to secure a
larger circulation ibr Republican newspa
pers. The people want the truth, and the
only source from which to derive it in its
fairest and most sublime shape, is in the
columns of manfully conducted Republican
newspapers. We trust, for these reasons.
that our Republican friends will subscribe
for their local organs. Every Republican
family in the State should have the benefit
of at least one Republican newspaper.
Such a journal is the great auxilary of free
school education. We hope our friends will
act on this truth, and all who are not sub
scribers at once subscribe for a Republican
journal."
The Copperhead papers have been crow
ing loudly over the result of the late muni
cipal election in Lancaster. For our part,
we can't see exactly where the croic "comes
in." Last year Sanderson, mayor, receiv
ed 16T5 votes, and this year 1G62 being a
loss of 13 votes on the year previous. The
Cops are welcome to all such "victories."
"The cable telegrams are again warlike."
This war story i3 repeated about once a-week.
to create a flutter in commercial circles, and
then left die out until the stated time again
arrives. Cable telegrams seem to be very
uncertain from some cause ; perhaps the ef
fects of "imbibing too freely of salt water,"
on its travels hither. Who can tell?
It seems that Maximillian is still at Quer
etaro, Mexico, where, on April 23d, he
placed himself at the head of 6,000 men
and led a sortie, in which he was repulsed
and drove back to his old quarters. The
fight lasted nearly all day.
ix-f resident 1'icrce is at Richmond. His
visit is supposed to be in connection with
the expected trial of Jeff Davis. The De
mocracy are rallying around their old stand
ard bearer as his trial approaches.
A Mississippi paper says there is not en
terprise enough in some of the towns of
that State to roll a wheelbarrow down hill
cn a plank road.' But such , towns will go
down hill without wheelbarrows.
The Commissioner of Pensions desires the
public to be informed that no act has been
passed granting pensions to soldiers of 1812,
excepting those disabled in the service.
Geo. Winnemore was convicted of mur
der in the first degree, in Philadelphia, on
May 10th, for the murder of Mrs. Magilton.
The Japanese punish murder by decapi
tation: parricide and other such heinous
crimes by crucifixion.
Jeff. Davis.
A busy scene presented itself at Carroll
Hall, Fortress Monroe, early on 3 'ay 11th,
preparation being made by Jeff. Davis and
family for their departure. At 7 o'clock
General Burton arrived at Carroll Hall, and
found Davis ready to accompany him.
Leave taking was exchanged by him and
his family with . their friends in the fort.
General Burton walked on one side of Davis
and Dr. Cooper, his physician, on the other.
Robert Ould and a brother of Davis, who
arrived last evening from .Vicksburg, escort
ed Mrs. Davis and her sister, and they were
followed by several friends. A large crowd
had gathered on the wharf around the
steamboat landing to witness the departure
of Davis. He conversed with hisfriends
cheerfully aboard the steamer John Sylves
ter. He looked much better than when
imprisoned, though very pale and attenu
ated. Marshals Underwood and Duncan
accompanied him to Richmond.
The steamer John Sylvester, with Jeff.
Davis on board, arrived at Richmond, this
afternoon, May 11th. . Long before his arri
val military arrangements had been made
by General Schofield. A detachment of
the Twenty-ninth regiment was present,'and
sentinels posted at intervals, enclosing about
two hundred . yards square of the wharf.
Outside of this a large crowd of negroes
and a few whites wore gathered, and the
brows of the surrounding hills were thickly
covered with spectators. Major Vance, of
Schofield's staff, who was in command, had
a detachment of the Eighth artillery, num
bering about fifty, mounted as a guard for
the carriages. As the steamer hove in
sight, with the national flag flying, the most
intense anxiety was exhibited by the crowd
to get closer, but there was no demonstra
tion no cheering or hissing. When the
boat was made fast Hon. James Lyons went
aboard, and, after a feeling meeting with
Davis, brought Mrs.' Davis ashore, and con
ducted her to a carriage, followed by her
tw servants. In a few moments Davis
came over the gang plank, accompanied by
General Burton and Dr. Cooper. The par
ty immediately got into carriages, and, sur
rouuded by a mounted guard, drove rapidly,
by side streets, up towards the Spotswood
Hotel, thus disappointing the large crowds
which had gathered on the main streets,
near the wharf, to sec Davis.
Later. Davis at Large. On May
13th, at 11:15, Gen. Burtou entered the
Court with Davis, and delivered him accord
ing to the writ. After some remarks by
the counsel, the Court discharged the pris
oner, but he was immediately served with a
warrant un au imlictuieut 1W ii canon, and
taken into custody by the U. S. Marshal.
The case was brought to the attention of
the Court, who fixed the trial for the next
term, commencing on the 25th of May. His
bail was fixed at one hundred thousand dol
lars, which was promptly entered Horace
Greeley heading the list, as one of the 20
bondsmen required by the Court, whereup
on Davis was released from custody, and is
now at large.
Emigration. Two steamers whieh
reached New York City last week, both
from Liverpool, brought one thousand six
hundred immigrants, the addition or a very
respectably sized town to our population in
a single day. Their lists were made up
from Germany, England and Ireland, from
all three of which the efflux towards us is
beginning to move, with a very strong prob
ability that Tl will swell under the growing
pressure- there and inducements here, and
under the more numerous conveniences for
passage which are now afforded. Those
causes which originated the belief that the
current year would see a revival to some
extent of the enormous influx of 1852-3 have
operated, and their earliest effects are favor
able to the most extreme expectations;form
ed by any.
The New Orleans Picayune says: "We
believe the highest vote polled at any elec
tion in this city previous to the war amount
ed to between 1 1,000 and 13,000. The offi
icial report from headquarters fixes the
number of those who had registered, up to
the 30th ult.,white,2,012; colored, 8,687. At
this ratio, it is fair to presume that before
the registration is closed, the colored vote
will greatly exceed the highest white ever
polled. Of course, this white vote, under
the most liberal construction as to the qual
ification of voters, must, necessarily, ba
greatly diminished, not to say anything
about the effect of the arbitrary restrictions
enforced by the present registrars in the
performence cT their duty."
An ex-mem'jer of Congress from South
Carolina, in advising the people of that
State to accept the reconstruction bill,
warns them that in addition to the other
things that may be done, if they display a
contumacious spirit, is the prevention of all
persons who cannot take the test oath from
voting. He says: "Had this leen done,
not more than one fiftieth of the white
males of the State could have voted. Un
der the present plan, forty-nine out "of fifty
, II'. . , 1 '
can ao so. ere tue convention to De con
structed upou such a vote, the colored voters
and the loyal whites would have absolute
control."
At a council at Fort Dodge on May 12th,
between Gen. Hancock and some leading
chiefs of the Kiowas, the latter declared for
peace and promised to allow their young
men to act as guides and scouts in the Uni
ted States service. Gen. Hancock is going
south into the Indian country to see the Ca
manches,, Arapahoes and other Kiowas,and
will then start north to hunt the Siour anrl
Cheyennes.
The Copperhead papers are saddling the
Republican party with the increased price
of ti:e necessaries of life, this year, over that
of I860, which is 21 per cent. gold. The
Copperheads who brought on the war, and
carried it on for five years, are, of course,
innocent of all participation in causing the
increase ! ,
The County Normal School.
. For the "Journal," .
We were highly gratified to learn of the
great success of Mr. Snyder's County Nor
mal School, in Curwensville. '- We were told
by good authority that there are about
eighty pupils present, of whom about sev
enty purpose teaching the coming winter.
It seems, therefore, to be a perfect success,
beyond the most sanguine expectations of
any' one. ' This, no doubt, is owing to at
least two causes: 1st. The untiring efforts
of Mr. Snyder, who leaves nothing undone
to promote the educational interests of the
county ; and 2d, that the teachers them
selves feel the necessity of becoming more
familiar with the branches required to be
taught by law, as well as to receive instruc
tions in the art of teaching. There are
many teachers who are well qualified to
tench all the branches required, and yet,
make an entire failure when they attempt
to teach, merely because they have never
studied the science for teaching is as much
a science as any of the other learned profes
sions. Now, in this Normal School the
students have not only Mr. Sn3'der's knowl
edge ot teaching, who is a fine practical
teacher, and has made the science an every
day study, but also that of Prof. I S. Geist,
who is a graduate of, and had been a teach
er for many years in the State Normal
School at Millersville, and therefore is thor
oughly conversant with the Normal method
of teaching. With such advantages, the
teachers of the county, who are attending,
will go to their respective districts next fail,
well prepared to teach the "young ideas how
to shoot." I venture to assert, that the
schools taught by those students during the
coining term, will all be superior to the
others, and thus the patrons of the different
schools should be interested in this County
Normal School.
If such are the results of these efforts, it
seeirs to me, that all of us, who have the
educational interests of the county at heart,
should aid to establish a State Normal
School in this county, where all might re
ceive the benefit of such a training and
soon the schools of Clearfield county would
be second to none. This district, according
to law, entitled to a State Normal School,
embraces the counties of Clearfield, Centre,
Clinton, Elk, Potter, M'Kcan, Jefferson,
Clarion, Forest, and Warren.
'I he law requires a good substantial house
that will accommodate, at least, three hun
dred students. Such a building, I should
think, might be put up" for twenty-five or
thirty thousand dollars. Of this, the Dis
trict is entitled to $15,000 from the State
leaving in the neighborhood of $10,000 or
$15,000 to be raised by the people. This
amount,! feel confident.can be raised in this
county. All that is necessary is, that a
lew enterprising persons take hold of the
matter. J hen, let every man who feels an
interest in education move, and move at
once. - Citizen.
One of the principal objects of the visit
of the Japanese commissioners to this
country is connected with the purchase ot
vessels or war. As lvussia will probably
receive iron-clads in payment for Russian
America, and as various Kuropean govern
ments have shown their hiarh appreciation
of the improved firearms invented in this
country, the nation appears to be in a fair
way to become the arsenal ot the world, as
well as its granary and cotton plantation.
It is now probable that the Secretary of
War will be compelled to issue an order sus
pending the payment of the additional or
other bounties to soldiers and their heirs,
until some appropriation for that purpose is
made by Congress, the funds already appro
priated being exhausted. As Congiess will
not in all probability meet again until De
cember, the soldiers and their familes must
make up their minds to bear some further
delay in receiving their pay.
Kentucky Justice. The following in
cident serves to show the beauties of Dem
ocratic rule in Kentucky. : "A mob visited
the jail in Jessamine county, Ky., on the
night of the 26th ult., and shot a negro boy,
confined there for killing a white boy who
had whipped him. The negro tras in an
iron cage, and the mob, being vnable to get
the key, shot him through the barn. On the
same night they hanged another negro, said
to be an accomplice."
Crop Prospects. The Detroit It has
news from nearly all the State of Mich
igan, concerning the grain and fruit crop,
which, with but slight variation, is favora
ble. It says: "From all quarters the good
condition of the wheat is noted, and hopes
of an abundant harvest, and a consequent
decline from the present enormous price of
wheat and flour may be indulged in with
very much confidence."
A lady, who has spent many months 4o
zealous efforts to relieve the wants, and to
educate the freedmen of Virginia, writes to
a freedmen's association that. "No matter
how poor, and miserable, and sick they may
be, I never found one looking back regretfully
to the kind care of a master ; they say they
have prayed for long years for freedom, and
now it has come, they can only give 'praise
and tanks.' " -"
Education in Virginia. The Legisla
ture of Virginia has done a good thing in
appropriating $80,000 for the education of
the white and black children. Considering
that this is done by a State where it was an
offence three years ago to teach a slave to
read, and where the condition of the free
blacks was hardly any better, it indicates a
glorious advance of public sentiment. It is
also an act of wisdom.
The Eight-Hour Law. The Chicago
Tribune, of Wednesday, says: "The eight
hour difficulties have nearly subsided. The
men are returning to their accustomed work
as fast as they can find employment, which
is by no means easy to obtain, as many la
borers have come in from other towns and
taken the places of the strikers. There has
been no noting or intimidation since Satur
day." Chicago. The Chicago Post says that
business was never more active in that city
than now. The streets are thromred : stocks
are rising: there is more building than ever
betoie. it is rnougnt that thirteen tnou
sand houses will be erected this season. The
city is extending very rapidly southward
along tue Jake snore.
Gen. Sherman officially denies the Fort
ISuford massacre. The friends of the men
reported as murdered will be glad to learn
this pleasing fact.

P. Garrett & Co.
The publication of this startling and highly
interesting book will form an era in the histori
cal literature of the late war. Historians of the
Rebellion, both North and South, bare been grop
ing in the dark concerning many important
phase in the eventful period between April 1861,
and the Spring of 1866. Now the chief custodian
of the Government's tecrets, be who took a most
active part in all of the secret plans of the War
Department, and who originated many of them,
writes a book and divulges all the hitherto well
kept historical secrets. General Baker makes a
clean breast cf the matter ; be evidently has kept
nothing in reserve that is of interest to the public
These revelations will create a profound sensation
in all sections of the country, and even the
vaunted Goverrment police of Europe may learn
lessons from this history. The late Chief Detec
tive has scie'ned no one. and there will be gnash

when the racy chapters of this secret history will
become generally known. The work s complete
