CLEARFIELD, PA., JUNE 12, 1867.
The Hew Orleans Eemovals.
We had thought the reasons for the re
moval of Mayor Monroe, Judge Abell, and
Attorney-General Herron, were notorious,
and needed no further statement. General
Sheridan naturally had tEia opinion ; but it
appears thai some one has not read the
newspapers and the report of the Congres
sional Committee which investigated the
New Orleans massacre. Gen. Sheridan has
been asked for his reasons, which we pub
lish elsewhere, and we trust they will be as
satisfactory a.i they are emphatic. He ro
moved Judge Abell because that officer, for
nine months, had promised, and made it
matter of public scandal, that there should
be no prosecution in his court against the
murderers of Union men and negroes. lie
removed Mr. Herron because he refused to
do his duty in indicting the men who were
known to have organized and conducted the
massacre. He removed Mayor Monroe be
cause he controlled the regiment of murder
ers known as the police force of New Or
leans. These were reasons sufficient; but
there were others. Gen. Sheridan knew
that these three men, Monroe, Abell, and
Herron, were guilty of the blood shed in
New Orleans, and that their evil influence
would continue to be felt were they per
mitted to keep their places. He turned
them out as a mere matter of decency and
precaution, just as he would have had the
garbage removed from the streets to prevent
pestilence, or a soldier locked up for drunk
enness. Gen. Grant can hardly have need
ed information on this subject, and we sup
pose that the inquiry has been made at the
instigation of Mayor Monroe, who has re
cently been lobbying at the JVhite House.
We hope he will be satisfied with the an
ewer. Breadstltfs. The splendid crop pros
pect is dome; its work iti the grain markets
of the country. Tho speculators ' are un-loadingj-and
some of them will do it at a
heavy loss; Nor will there be a return train
over the descending grade down which pri
ces are now rushing. While a blight or
partial defeat of present expectations is yet
possible, the suggestion is too unsubstantial
to work en. Breadstuffs will be still lower,
and the decline will continue down to the
harvest, when, in all human probability,
more than an abundance will give cheap
bread to the people. Then it will be shown
that wheat not gold 3 the regulator. All
other articles of food will sympathize; and
the cost of living haviDg materially and per
manently cheapened, the mam argument in
favor of excessive wage3 will bo removed,
and they, too, will come down. It is im
possible to name a thing produced in our
country for which money is paid, that will
not, sooner or later, be influenced corres
pondingly. Every department of industry
and enterprise will feel it, and the whole
land will have reason to thank the kind
Providence for tha return of the year of
plenty.
v A large number of the Copperhead pa
pers of the State, says the Telegraph, are
assailing the temperance organizations now
being made in the different counties. It is
alleged by the Cops that the Good Tem
plars are revolutionary in their objects, and
therefore dangerous iu their tendencies. If
to redeem old men from intemperance, and
restore them to their families, and to re
strain young men from entering on a career
of vice by indulging in the inordinate use
of liquor, be revolutionary, we fervently
pray for the revolution to begin at once.
"Mr. Thomas J. Durant has declined the
Governorship of Louisiana, offered to him
by Gen. Sheridan. As Mr. Durant is one
of the most estimable men in Louisiana,
and among the most thoroughgoing and lib
eral of its Radicals, this is greatly to be re
gretted. Though he has been almost a life
long abolitionist, and is still a steady hater
of the influences of Slavery, his appoint
ment met the respect of all parties. Gov.
Flanders has accepted the appointment and
entered upon the duties of his office.
General Lengstreet accepts the Military
bill as a peace-offering, and counsels his fellow-citizens
to use the opportunity it offers.
This is good advice. It is a significant fact
that most of the chief Rebel Generals have
fully accepted the terms of the North,
though by these terms they are disfranchis
ed, and that the opposition to Reconstruc
tion comes from civil office-holders gentle
men like Gov. Jenkins and ex-Gov. Perry.
Two of Chief Justice Chase's nominees
in Maryland, for Registrars in Bankruptcy,
Were rejected by a Copperhead Judge, bo
cause they were Republicans. He re-nominated
them.
The Spirit of Copperheadism.
ForEome years previous to 1S61, the so
called Democratic leaders, during each suc
cessive political campaign, were wont to
make threats of resistance in case of their
defeat, and the success of the Republican
party. These threats finally culminated in
the rebeilion,and its dire consequences, which
are familiar to every intelligent reader.
The Copperheads now finding themselves in
a hopeless minority, are endeavoring to
frighten tho masses into the support of tbeir
party, by a resoft to similar threatenings, a
sample of which we here give. "Nix," a
correspondent of the Elk Advocate, whose
sentiments evidently have the approbation
of the editors, as they do not denounce
them, in discussing the ''Issue of the hour,"
after "pitching" into Congress and the Re
publican leaders, concludes his article thus :
"There is something of the old spirit of '76
left, and if it is once fairly aroused let the tyrant
beware. They (the Republican leaders) may have
more money, bat the people (the Cops) have the
muscle, brains, ptuci, and in the long run these
are the winning cards. The cloud of popular
(Copperhead) indignation is lowering, deeper,
darker, thicker, and unless there is a change in
public affairs (offices) ere long, it will break out
in a storm that will sweep the Radical leaders
from the face of the earth, consigning them to a
blacker Hades than was ever dreamed of in hea
then mythology, and leaving their names to be
rescued from oblivion only by the memory of their
crimes. Again we say.cr them, beware- Shall
the arbitra'ion be by ballot or bullet ? . . . Are we,
idly and passively, without one effort to release
ourselves, to submit to tyranny so much worse
(than that of King George ? Forbidut Almighty
God'!"
Such rre the threatenings of Copperhead
ism, which manifest themselves frequently,
in various sections of the country. Says
this writer : Coperhead "indignation is
"lowering, deeper, darker, thicker, and un
" less a change in public affairs," (offices)
is made by the "ballot" at the coming elec
tion, the Republicans icUl he swept "from
the face of the earth" by the "bullet!"
The Rebels in the South attempted a covp
(Tetaut like this a few years since, if we are
not mistaken. Were they successful ? Are
these ranting Cops in the North likely to
fire better than their Southern "brothers ?"
But the lesson of the pa.;t is still fresh in
the memory of all. During the Rebellion
the people knew their lights, and dared to
maintain them, and, we opine, should it be
come necessary, they will do so again. Then
let Rebels rant, and Copperheads threaten,
for it avails them nothing, except to show
the spirit that pervades these twin advo
cates of anarchy and oppression.
Tue Tennessee Troubles. Governor
Brownlow is taking vigorously in hand the
troubles in Tennessee. At last accounts he
had arrested . several of the officers of the
Stato militia for alleged offences, and is pro
ceeding to try and punish them. When wo
remember how murder and rapine and rob
bery have ragd in Tennessee ever since
1SC1 how Union men have been merciless
ly slaughtered before the very eyes of their
wives and sisters, and their own children
shot down in the very act of burying them
when we recollect that all this was done
because they were Union men, and that the
State is still suffering under that kind of
civilization engendered by slavery, we will
not be surprised if turmoil and lawlessness
now prevail to seme extent. Men who have
been hunted and hounded for years, and
whose social and political ideas are those of
Ionle just emerging from the barbarism of
a slave code and religion, will not be partic
ular" to their means of redress. All thi.?,
though wrong, is the legitimate sequence of
the lawlessness and crime of rebellion. We
hope we shall hear no more of these unpleas
ant and indefensible outrages, and that the
wronged poor white men of Tennessee, like
the negroes of the South, will show to the
country that their ideas of Christianity and
civil law are higher and nobler than those of
the slave aristocracy.
The President at Raleigh. Among
those who waited upon the President at
Raleigh the deaf muteg from the State
Asylum were conspicuous. The compensa
tions of nature have been the theme of more
than one Philosopher's admiration ; but
perhaps there never was a more striking ex
ample of how benificencc can hide itself un
der the guise of affliction than is. to be found
in this little incident. How many of those
whose duty or interest obliges them to listen
to the President's platitudes must have en
vied these children of charity, who could go
through the ceremony of paying their re
spects without suffering the penalty of
hearing what the distinguished visitor said
in reply. How the spectators, too, must
have enjoyed this inarticulate dumb noise,
and blessed their'stars for the privilege of a
reception with only one speech, and that a
speech that, having heard a hundred times
before, they were not obliged to listen to
again. Sweet arc the uses of adversity, and
only one improvement can be suggested
that the affliction should be divided : let
the unfortunates of the Asylum retain their
deafness, and make the President a free gift
of their dumbness. '
Large numbers of German, Norwegian,
and Swiss immigrants, are reported to be
arriving daiiy at New York. .They push on
at once to the West, and settle near friends
and acquaintances who have preceded them,
applying themselves mainly to agriculture.
They become forthwith customers of Amer
ican mechanics and manufacturers.
Samuol Small, Esq., of York borough,
proposes to give a lot of ground and $5,000
in money, towards the erection o.a Normal
School buildiii!; ia York.
Agricultural Report. The monthly
report of the Agricultural Department for
April says that "never has there been so
general an expression of encouragement in
view of the fine condition of the winter
wheat, sinccthe establishment of the present
system for the collection of crop statistics.
In more than nine tenths of the returns re
ceived, the condition of the crop is reported
favorable and promising. From the South
the returns are as cheering as from the
West." The report contains elaborate sta
tistics of the crops of corn, wheat, oats, rye,
potatoes, buckwheat, barley,tobacco and hay
raised in the year 1S66, in thirty-two of the
thirty-seven States those of which no sta
tistics are given being California, Oregon,
Nevada, Minnesota and We.st Virginia.
Corn, of course, heads the list, both in quan
tity and value. The number of bushels
produced is stated at S6S,4,205, valued at
$591,606,295. The foremost State -in the
production of this important crop was Illi
nois, which raised 155,844,350 bushels,
worth $67,000,000. The next large quanti
ty, 127,676,247 bushels, was raised in Indi
ana, the estimated value cf which was $56,
000,000. Ohie is next in order, her crop
being a little less than 100,000,000 bushels.
The gross product of the wheat crop in
all the States, except the important wheat
growing States of California, Oregon and
Minnesota, was 152, 000,000, valued at $333,
733,646, of which Illinois is credited with
23,541,451 tushels; Wisconsin 20,307,820 ;
Iowa 15,753,323; Michigan 14,740,639;
New York 12,556,406, and Pennsylvania
and Indiana each a little over 10,000,000
bushels. In oats, Pennsylvania and New
York arc largely ahead of all other States,
producing each about 1,600,000 bushels Il
linois follows, with a jproduction of 883,952
bushels.
There is no comparison with former years
to show the deficiency in last year's crops.
Attempt to Murder the Czar of Rus
sia. On June 6th, an attempt was made,
in Paris, to assassinate the Czar Alexander,
of Russia, while he was driving to the city
witl the Emperor Napolcan, and the Czar's
two sons. Accoiding to the Paris Monitcur
the shot at the carriage- in which the two
Emperors were riding, was fired by a young
Pole, and intonded against the Czar. The
deed, it is further stated, was inspired by
political passion. This is the second at
tempt made against the life of the Russian
Emperor, the preceding one having been
made last year by an impoverished Russian
nobleman, who belonged to the ultra Revo
lutionary party ofRussia. The passion for
assassination from political reasons ia unfor
tunately increasing. Nearly all the great
monarchs of Europe have escaped similar
dangers. Thus, attempts were made against'
Louis Napolean, by Pianori (in April, 1855)
and b? Orsini (January, 185S.) A few
years ago a student tried to take the life of
King William of Prussia, and last year thnt
of Count Bismarck was endangered. Two
different attempts were made against Victo
ria. LasJ. year it was reported that a simi
lar attempt had been made against the Em
peror of Austria at Prague, but the investi
gation of the affair proved that the person
charged with it was innocent.
From Mexico. Late advices from Mex
ico confirm the fall of Queretaro and the cap
ture of Maxiraillian and his army. It ap
pears that General Lopez, who is represent
ed as a bosom friend of Max., sold out the
entire imperial concern for forty-eight thous
and dollars in hard cash, and the work of
treachery was arranged so completely, and
carried out so successfully, that Maximilian
and his entire force, bag and baggage, were
handed over to Escobedo without a hostile
shot being fired. Maximilian, however, ac
ted his part heroically. He sent his sword
to Escobedo, stipulating that he should not
be subjected to insult, but awarded the con
sideration due to a prisoner, and that if any
one must be shot, he should be the first led
to execution. Up to the latest advices no
executions had taken place.
Dates from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, to
the 17th, state that Maximilian's fate still
hangs in the balance. J uarez and ministers
held a conference on the subject of a dis
posal pf .him, but the conclusion was un
known. It was thought Juarez would carry
him to the capital. The capture of Mira
mon, with the rest was confirmed. Mendez,
however, is nowhere to be found. Fscobedo
had issued an order that every Imperial offi
cer who had not surrendered within twenty
four hours should be shot.
Gov. Orr's late speech to the South Car
olinians is the reverse of ex-Gov. Perry's
letters. He estimates that there are 60,000
colored voters in the State, and only 40,000
white voters. From these facts he logically
deduces that the most cordial relations
should be cultivated between the two races.
The present plan of Reconstruction chould,
he thinks, be adopted, Reconstruction itself
boing inevitable.
Prominent Southern men begin to confess
that if it had not been for the meddling
Copperhead mischief makers of the North,
Reconstruction would have been a success
long ago in the South. The same might
with justice be said of the same men on the
subject of Rebellion. If it had not been
for Northern Democratic demagogues, se
cession never would have been attempted."

Letter from Sheridan.
General Sheridan having been asked for
his reasons for the removal of the New Or
leans officials, has forwarded the following
reply:
Headquarters Fifth Military Dis
trict. General U. S. Grant, Command
ing Armies of the United States, Washing--
ton General : On tho 20tu oi 31arcn last I
removed from office Judge E. Abel, of the
Criminal Court of .New Orleans, Andrew S.
Herron, Attorney General of the State ol
Louisiana, and John F. Monroe, Mayor of
the City of New Orleans.
Thee removals were made under the
power grauted me in what is usually termed
the Military bill, passed March 27th, 1857,
by the Congress of the United States. I
did not deem it necessary to give any rea
son for the removal of these men, especially
after the investigation made by the Military
l'oard on the massacre of July 30th, 1S66,
and the report of the Congressional Com
mittee on the same massacre ; but as some
inquiry has been made for the cause of re
moval, I would respectfully state as follows:
The Court over which Jude Abel presi
ded is the only Criminal Court in the city of
New Orleans, and for a period of nearly
nine months previous to July 30th, he
had beeu educating a large portion of the
community to the perpetration of this out
rage by almost promising no proseution in
his Court against the offenders, in case such
an event occurred. The records of this
Court will show that he fulfilled his prom
ise, as not one of the guilty ones had been
punished.
In reference to Andrew S. Herron, Attor
ney General-of the State of Louisiana, I
considered it his duty to indict these men
before this Criminal Court. This he failed
to do, but went so far as to attempt to im
pose on the good sense of the whole nation,
by indicting the victims of the riot instead
of the rioters in other word?, making the
innocent guilty, and the guilty innocent.
He was, therefore, an abettor and coadjutor
with Judge Abel in bringing on the massa
cre of July 30th.
Mayor Monroe controlled the element en
gaged in the riot, and when backed by an
Attorney General who would not prosecute
the guilty, and a Jude who advised the
Grand Jury to find the innocent guilty and
let the murderers go free, felt secure in en
gaging his police force in the riot and mas
sacre. With these three men exercising a large
influence on the worst elements of this city,
giving to these elements an immunity for
riot and bloodshed, the General in Chief
will see how insecure I feh in letting them
occupy their positions in the troubles which
might occur in registration and voting in
the reorganization. I am. General, very
respectfully, your obedient servant,
P. II. Sheridan, Maj. Gen., U. S. A.
A Frightful Disaster. On Thursday,
June 6th, a most appalling accident occur
ed at Philadelphia, by the explosion of a
steam-boiler in a large five story building,
used as a manufactory of scrolls, etc. The
boiler-was torn from end to end the build
ing was entirely demolished, and afterwards
the rubbish caught fire and was burned.
Pieces of the boiler, pipes, bricks, etc., were
thrown to a great distance, and in some in
stances fell through the roofs of the adja
cent buildings. Some forty or fifty persons
were in the building when the explosion oc
curred, but few of whom escaped without
injury.' Some ten or twelve dead bodies
were taken from the rums, and it is thought
that many others were burned. The agony
of the friends of the killed and wounded
was heartrending and could not be described.
The cause of tho terrible accident is un
known, but is attributed to the carelessness
of the engineer.
The Assassination Plot. The Judici
ary Committee on June 5th, took considera
ble evidence on the question of Jeff. Davis'
complicity with the assassination of Lincoln.
They have original copies of a number of
letters that reached Jeff. Davis in 1S64,
proposing the assassination, and there is
nothing to show that he ever rebuked the
authors or discountenanced the plot. ' The
testimony as to his complicity with the
Booth plot is not entirely conclusive, but is
so strong ihat at least three members of the
committee believe it to show guilt. It is
shown that he had dealings with Booth and
his agents beyond a doubt.
A colonel in the Union army was chosen
President of the Radical State Convention
at Montgomery, Ala. The party of that
State affirms its identity with the National
Republican party, and declares for peace,
free schools, and the full enjoyment of all
rights of citizenship. We are also pleased
to note that the State Executive Committee
of North Carolina have invited the Radi
cals theerof t6 hold primary meetings for the
choice of delegates to a general Convention.
How to do It. An exchange says the
cheapest way to make a last year's bonnet
in fashion this SDrinsr is to place the old one
i on a clean board, and then smash it with a
stick of wood. To those ladies who are
short of stamps and yet wish to be in fash
ion, we would advise the above experiment.
A bonnet "done up" by the "smashing"
process would be just as fashionable as many
of the "love of a thing" now worn.
A boy named Young died in Philadelphia
on Thursday, from the poisonous effects of
eating sour grass. It appears that the boy
went into the woods a few days since, and
while engaged in his sports with a few com
panions, plucked some sour grass and par
took ol it. Soon after he was seized with
violent pain,1 and continued to suffer until
death relieved him of his misery.
The organization of thd "Dominion of
Canada" has been completed by the ap
pointment of Lord Monck as Viceroy. The
expectation of many that Prince Alfred (the
Duke of Edinburgh) would obtain this po
sition as a stepping-stone toward the royal
dignity has been disappointed.
The Prussian Government has completed
the draft of a reconstructed Zollverein,which
is to embrace the South-German States, as
well as the North-German Confederation.
The old Zoll verein proved a powerful bond
of union for the German States when they
cohered but loosely by means of the Frank
fort Diet. The new Zollverein may be ex
pected to exercise a much greater influence
in behalf of the national unity. The Cham
ber of Deputies in the Grand Duchey of
Hesse- JJarmstadt, ot which country thus tar
only one province (lying north of the River
Maine) belonged to the North German Con
federation, have passed a resolution in be
half of a union of the whole Grand Duchey
with the jsorth-uerman Confederation.
An Irish priest wishing to explain the na
ture of a miracle to a skeptical parishoner,
gave the wretch a tremendous kich. "Did
it hurt ve?" asked the reverend father.
"Hurt?" exclaimed the victim, tenderly
solacing the aggrieved region with his hand.
"Well then," said the the clergyman com
placently, "it would have been a miracle if
it hadn't hurt ye !" This is a good defini
tion, but no better than one just given in
Massachusetts of the difference between an
"accident" anda "misfortune." "IfWen
dell Phillips should fall into the river," says
the definition, "'it would be an accident. If
he should ever get out again that would bo
a misfortune."
The London News, in an article on the
future of Mexico, says : As far as the pros
pect of a re-establishment of peace and
good government are concerned, Mexico re
mains pretty nearly where it was before the
FrencrTexpedition. The causes of its dis
orders lie too deep to be removed by the
sword of conquest, and will probably last
until the time ha5? come for the introduction
of a new population of a nobler race than
that which now engrosses a country it is
unable to develop, and which seems incapa
ble of founding any stable order of society,
i . .... .
The question of removing Gen. Sheri
dan is engaging the attention of the Presi
dent and his advisers. We judge there is
at least a probability of his being removed.
He stands up so squarely for everything and
everybody loyal and true, and has such a
habit of demolishing everything and every
body not true and loyal, that he has become
unpopular with Mr. Johnson, as he was
with Early in the Valley of the Shenan
doah. The country is quite ready for the
President's decision.
General Grant is so well pleased with the
straightforward, logical opinion of General
Scofield on the reconstruction act, that he
has sent a copy of it to Gen. Ord for his in
formation and guidance. Qen. Grant has
at no time given any public expression of
his satisfaction with the involved and confederate-colored
opinion of Attorney-General
Stansbery, although it was vigorously
advertised in advance as approved by him.
