8. J. ROW, KniTOR AD PROPRIETOR.
CIJGARFIELD, PA., JULY 17, 18G7.
FOR SCPP.EVE JUDGE,
Hon. Eenry W. 'Williams,-
OF PITTSBIBO.
The Spirit of the People.
The recent political convections in four
or five States, hays the Lancaster Examiner,
afford a very good index of the feeling of
the people on the questions of the day.
The Democrats have no policy at all, or, to
copy the language of their former admirer,
Gen. Longstieet, they present nothing tan
gible that has not already been condemned.
They grumble incessantly, deny fiercely,aDd
object hopelessly, but as for embodying any
live principle applicable to the exigency,
they have done nothing of the kind for a
long while. The Republicans, on the con:
trary, as will be seen in the gatherings in
Pennsylvania, Maine, and elsewhere, are as
explicit, practical, and determined as they
were when the war brought out plainly the
issue between those who were for the coun
try and those who were against it. They
are for a thorough enforcement of the re
construction policy of Congress. They ap
provethe reassembling of that body to forti
fy its acts against the undermining assaults
of the Executive, and to in.-ure the consum
mation of equal rights and the predomi
nance of loyalty at the South. They heart
ily endorse the action of Gen. Sl:eridan,and
are resolved that none of the Dis'rict Com
manders shall suffer an abridgment of their
, powers. In short, they mean that the
righteous results involved in the triumph
of the Union over treason and rebellion shall
be worked out to the very end.
From Mexico.
Despatches from Houston, Texas, give
detailed accounts of the execution by the
Liberals, of Maximilian, Miramon and Me
jia. None ot the prisoners were bound or
blindfolded, nor was any indignity offered.
Maximilian, before he was shot, recapiiula
ted the causes which brought him to Mexi
co, and denied the authority of the Court
which tried him, and hoped his blood would
etop the further effusion of blood in Mexi
co. Just before led out, he called to the
sergeant of the guard, and gave him a hand
full of gold, and requested as a favor that
the soldiers would aim at bis heart. His
last words were, "Poor Carlotta!" Five
balls entered his breast, but these did not
kill him immediately, so two other soldiers
were ordered to shoot him in the side. In
this manner he was dispatched. Much dis
satisfaction and grief was manifested by
those who witnessed it. Miramon read
from a paper which he had written, that
the only regret he felt in djing was that the
Liberals would remain in power and should
have power to point out his children as the
children of a traitor. Mejia made no ad
dress, but met his fate quietly and bravely.
The sword of Maximilian was presented to
Jaurez by Escobedo in the Government
Palace.

The editor of the Clearfield Republican,
in his issue of July 11th, says:
"The disunion press North, generally, and the
Jocrsal in particular, have lately became very
much enmnored with the 'red Landed rebel and
traitor,' Oaa. Lougstreet."
Not exactly that, neighbor ! We pub
lished Gen. Longstreet's letters, not be
cause the Journal "have became enamored"
more of the rebel, but because ice (the ed
itor,) have a greater aversion for the Nor
thern Copperhead. We have not now, nei
ther had we during the war, any very pro
found love for either, because we believed
both were laboring for the same end the
dismemberment of the Union. But, if there
is any difference between the two, the rebel
has it ; for he had the courage and temeri
ty to unsheath his sword and bare his breast
to the shafts of death to accomplish his
purpose, while the other tried to obtain his
wishes through deception and misrepresen
tation, while far in the rear of all danger
and hardship. And, we opine, that the
name of the brave "red-handed rebel and
traitor" will be remembered long after that
of the cowardly copperhead will be forgotten.
There is a peculiar audacity in Ju lge
Sharswood's aspirations to a seat on the
Bench of the .Supreme Court, particularly
as the honor is to be bestowed directly by
the votes of the people. During the war
for the suppression of the rebellion, Shars
wood was in favor of disfranchising at least
one-third of those who will have votes at
the coming election. We mean the men
who fomght in the Union armies. It is
barely possible that one of these veterans
will vote for Sharswood. '
A church to commemorate Lincoln and '
thq.abolition of slavery, will be built in Lon- j
don.".. ... . . . j
Sharswood vs. Greenbacks.
Judge Sharswood, Copperhead candi
date for the Supreme Bench of this S'ate,
is a "dead cock" as soon as he is placed in
the pit. It appears that during the war,
and at a period when the very life of the
nation was threatened, an 1 when it was on
ly saved, its credit maintained, and its sol
diers pail by the National Currency act, a
case came up in the Pistrict Court of Phil
adelphia, involving the constitutionality of
legal tender notes. Judge Sharswood, then
as now, one of the Judges of that Court,
delivered an elaborate "opinion," dissent
ing from his colleagues, and after a labored
argument, deciding that the law making
United States notes a legal tender was un-con-sti-tu-ti'iii-ul
! The case in question
was Bone vs.' Trott, in which the plaintiff
demanded gold and silver for a debt or pay
ment due him, at a time when gold com
manded a high premium and when the
whole business of the country, except pay
ment of customs, was conducted in United
States notes. It was at this crisis in our
history, when the success of the Union
arms depended entirely upon this very legal
tender act, that Judge Sharswood pronoun
ced against it! We propose, at an early
day, to publish the entire "opinion" but
have only room to give the gist of it at this
time. Judge Sharswood sums up in the
following plain and unmistakable words :
'On the whole I am of Opinion that the pro
vision of the .ict of Congres of February 23.
1852, declaring the notes issued in pursuance ot
that act to be lawfnl and leal tender, is uncon
stitutional. 1 am in favor of entering judgment
for the plaintiff, but as a majority of the Court
Art .f a different opinion, judgment for the de
fendant." Here is an opinion the utterance of which
ought to condemn any man who is a candi
date for office at the hands of a patriotic
and loyal people, and wiil unquestionably lay
Judge Sharswood on the shelf.
We ask the voters of the (Commonwealth
of all parties whether a Judgtrwho decides
United States legal tender notes to be un
constitutional, should be permitted to reit
erate that "opinion" on the Supreme Bench
of the State. This a Question in which
even citizen is interested and all can plain
ly understand. It is a question that con
cerns every note and bond holder a ques
tion of solvency on the one hand an.l repu
diation on the other. With the broad fact
before tho people that Judge Sharswood fa
vors the repudiation of our currency, his
signal condemnation at the October election
may be regarded as certain.
Who is Eight ?
The Clearfield Republican of July 11th,
in referring to lion. Henry W. Williams,
the Republican nominee for Supreme JuJge,
declares,
"lie has no reputation outside of that city.
(Pittsburg.) whrre he is known as one of the
leading members of the Mrs Swishelm persua
sion. His niimi is largely developed with refer
ence to negro equality, woman's rights, and spirit
rappiugs. If this is the kind of legal knowledge
tho people of Pennsylvania wish to place on the
Supreme Bench, there is no man better qualified
than Mrs. Swisshc Im's candidate "
On the other hand. Judge Woodward,
the present Chief Justice, in delivering the
opinion, of the Supreme Court, in the. case
of Burr vs. Toud, reported in oth Wright,
page 213, says :
"In MnClourg vs Croghan's Administrators, (1
Grant's Cases, p 3n7.) this subject was greatly dis
cussed upon the ifcithorities. and it was held by
Judge Williams, of the Di trict Court of Alleghe
ny county, that the breach of a contract to le;ise
is the suuic as a breach of a contract to sell land,
and that the measure of damages in such a ca?e
is the price paid for the lease and its interest,
and not the value of the bargain. The price
paid for land whether upon leae or sale, is the
value of it as between the contracting parties;
to tint Jutle. WiHntn'x rutins wi-i not hicniisn
tent with the doctrine in 8 Casey. That the same
rule prevails in re-pect to parol contracts, was
abundantly shown in Malauo vs. Aurmon. (V
Jrant"g Cases, p 1 23 ) attei wards approved by
the whole Court in Hcrtzogg vs. Ilertzogg. (10 Ca
sey, p. US.) and Duuicors vs .Miller, lb 319.")
It is a rare eircuuistauee that the Judge
of an inferior court is quoted as authority
by the Supreme Court ; and this acceptance
by the SupremeCcurt of Judge Williams
as high judicial anthority, is conclusive
proof of his qualifications for the position
to which he is named.
Now, we would ask, who is the best au
thority as to the qualifications of Mr. Wil
liams? George B. Goodlander, or George
W. Woodward? Goodlander would have
you believe that Mr. Williams has no repu
tation as a judge, while Judge Woodward
quotes him as high judical authority. Which
of the two is right?
A Coincidence. The Chicago Republi
can says that it is worthy of note that the
session of Congress commenced within one
day of the anniversary of the special session
of 18G1, called to provide means to suppress
the rebellion. It is not a little significant,
too, that its chief business is to provide for
closing the work which its predecessor of
six years ago commenced; and although
the man who now sits in Abraham Lincoln's
place is on the sida of the dead rebellion,
there is no reason to doubt that the work
will be successfully accomplished.
The copperhead papers of Ohio talk big,
and claim to be confident of victory this
fall. A sanguine fellow of Cleveland defi
antly offers to bet $500 that his party will
not be beaten at the next election by
more than fifty thousand majority. This
Democrat appears to know his crowd and
places a fair estimate on the veracity of the
Copperhead newspapers.
The death of ex-Gov. John A. King, of
New York, is announced as h:ivinr rw.r,,-.i
j - - - ' ' l-Vli I . 1 J
on Sunday, July 1st at Jamaica, Long Is
land, from a stroke of paralysis, received on
the 4th inst.
Eistorical Fact3.
. The danger of electing Copperhead J udg
esis shown by reference to the past judicial
"Opinions" of the magistrates of tlmt
stamp.
In 16I, when the South seceded, Judge
Black, President Buchanan's Attorney Gen
eral, promulgated the "Opinion," officially,
that the General Government had no right
to coerce States even in so grave a matter as
rebellion. President Buchanan adopted
th it view, and refused to reinforce or pro
vision the garrison at Fort Sumter, or to
resist the hostile measures of the traiters
which finally resulted in the surrender of
that Tort, and gave to the rebels their first
success. Judge Black, at the late Ilarris
burg Convention, endorsed Judge Shars
wood as having "no unsound spot on him,"
which may be taken to mean that he held
tho same views.
In 1S63. the Copperhead Judges of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania declared
the Draft Law unconstitutional, they having
at that time a majority on the bench. For
tunately the Republicans elected Judge Ag
new in that year, and this decision was over
ruled soon after, by his vote. But for this
circumstance our State would have been in
volved in direct conflict with the General
Government, and our own citizens probably
with each other in this deeply important
question. J udi;e Sharswood endorsed Judge
Woodward, who was at the head of this
conspiracy, at that time, and Judge Wood
ward now endorses Judge Sharswood as a
fit and proper man to succeed him on the
Supreme Bench of the State.
Iu 1.SG4, Judge Sharswood himself tried
to get his Court in Philadelphia to declare
that U. S. Tr ersury notes were not a legal
tender and promulgated an elaborate opin
ion that the act of Congress declaring them
to be so was unconstitutional and therefore
void. Fortunately again, his two Republi
can colleagues, Judges Strom and Hare
overruled him, and hL tecoud attempt at nul
Ulictlon was averted, and Pennsylvania saved
from disgrace.
The people can judge from this what
sort of law may be anticipated from the Su
preme Bench of the State if Judge Shars
wood should hold the balance of power.
Let them take care not to afford Judge S.
an opportunity to give more decisions of
the same sort.
Again Threatening Eebellion.
We quote the following significant sen
tence from the Clearfield Republican, of
July 11th, 187 :
'-The Democrats will yet find it necessary to
procee! in army style and accompany their mem
bers to Washington, and furnish them with seats.''
Here we have the positive declaration of
the editor of the Rejmblican that his party
"jfiYZ YET find it necessary1 ' to proceed to
Washington in l'army style, ' and at the
point of the bayonet "furnish" disfranchis
ed rebels and defeated Copperheads with
"seats" in Congress.
Why this war-like declaration ? Because
Congress has deferred the admission of the
members elect from Kentucky, until inquiry
as to their loyalty anil the legality of their
election has been made that body being
'notified that they were rebels during the
late war. That the Republican and its
party leaders should come to the rescue of
these Rebels, is but natural Previous to
the Rebellion they incited the Rebels to
take up arms against the legally elected Na
tional authorities, and, the Rebels obeying,
they encouraged them in their rebellion, re
joiced with thorn in their successes, lament
ed with them over their defeats, mourned
with them over I heir final discomfiture; and
now, failing to foist themselves upon Con
gress without proper guarantees for future
food behaviour, it is but consistent that
tfiese Northern Copperheads should advise
unlawful armed means to the accomplish
ment of their purpose.
Whether such an attempt will be made is
yet in the future, but, never-the less, the
people should bear these threateniugs of
the editor of the Republican in mind, and
be prepared for any emergency that may
arise remembering that desperate men are
capable of undertaking almost any desper
ate scheme to enhance their personal ends.
There 13 no mistaking the feeling of the
people in what, is called the Border States.
There are strong Republican organizations
being formed in Maryland, Kentucky and
other Border States. By men of these or
ganizations it is strongly urged that unless
Congress establishes universal suffrage and
makes treason as odious hereafter as it was
during the war, the old slave States will be
coqtrolled by the men who fought to destroy
the Union. The Radicals in Congress un
derstand the subject, and as soon as that
body enters on a course of general legislation,
proper remedies will be applied to secure
the rule of the South in the hands of loyal
men.
The New Orleans Republican has chang
ed its opinion of Gen. Sheridan. It will be
remembered that that journal, just before
the removal of Gov. Wells, spoke against
the intrepid soldier, charging him, among
other things, with incapacity. It now
thinks that he is jiot only a heio of admira
ble qualities, but a statesman of rare pene
tration and ability. -The country agrees
with the last verdict. ,
Sixty employees of the Quartermaster's
Department, one half of whom were ex
soldiers, were discharged at Washington a
few days ago. They appealed to Secretary
Stanton, and that officer immediately issued
an order revoking their discharge and fur
ther directing th3t ex-soldiers shall be re
tained in preference to civilians. They
have since been restored to their former
positions.'
Washington Citj Gossip.
Congress passed finally, and sent to the
President, the supplemental reconstruction
bill, on Saturday, July 13th. Uponthejre
turn of the bill, an adjournment will take
place until November. The bill will l-tjve-toed
by the Presidetit.
Some of the President's friends say that
if articles of impeachment are presented
and taken before the Senate, he will chal
lenge the right of at least four or five Sena
tors to sit as his judges, on the ground that
they have been actively and notoriously en
gaged in making up the case against him.
Others say the lLudieals of the House can
not well complain of the President for nia-'
king appointments in the So::th without
the consent of Congress, now that they
have thanked General Sheridan and the
others fo rdoing the same thing.
The Senate, it is understood, will pass
the House bill appropriating sixteen hun
dred thousand dollars to carry out the re
construction act. The estimate for such
expenses is fixed at two millions per jear,
provided that the present State Govern
ments are continued.
The Senate will ratify at the present ses
sion the recently negotiated commercial
treaties with Japan and the Sandwich Is
lands. The ratificatien of the latter treaty
is urged by a strong Pacific coast interest,
which represents that the exports from the
Islands to California will reach a million
dollars per annum.
Returns have been received by the com
missioner of the General Land Office which
show an aggregate disposal of 100,491 acres
of the public lands during the month of
J iine last, at Brownsville, Nebraska, and
Springfield, Mo. The greater portion of
the land was located with agricultural col
lege scrip, and taken for actual settlement
and cultivation under the homestead law.
The committee appointed by secretary
McCulloch to count the funds in the vaults
of the Treasury Department, have comple
ted the investigations and the result of the
count shows a few dollars in the the treasury
oyer the amount that tho books called for.
Tho amount of national funds which has
passed through the treasurer's hands since
March, 1SG1, is about $14.5'X,000,000.
A bill was introduced in the House to
grant honorable discharges to certain sol
diers of the army and navy. It exempts
from the penalties of desertion all persons
who served until the surrender of Lee and
Johnson, and then left their commands and
returned home, under the supposition that
they had fulfilled their contract, the war
having closed. It is estimated that the
passage of this bill will enfranchise twenty
thousand men in Ohio, who are now pro
hibited by State enactment from voting.
The Commissioner of Indian affairs is un
derstood to be exerting himself to induce
Congress immediately to authorize the ap
pointment of a competent Commissioner,
who shall proceed at once to endeavor to
treat with the tribes now at war with us.
He intimates the cost of this war aba mil
lion dollars weekly, and believes he can
bring it speedily to a satisfactory close for
the cost of such a commission.
The Paymaster General, in response to a
resolution of the House, states that no fur
ther legislation is necessary to facilitate the
payment of additional bounties, as many
paymasters and clerks are now engaged in
that branch of the service as can be profi
tably and judiciously employed.
rERRiBLE Boiler Explosion at Lan
caster, Pa. A terrible catastrophe oc
curred at Lancaster, Pa., on Saturday morn
ing July 13th about six o'clock. caused by the
exp'o.-ion of a boiler at the Fulton cotton
Mill, owned by J. N. Bituer & Co. The
accident took place before the operatives
had assembled, or the loss of life, terrible as
it is, would have been much greater. The
explosion carried a portion of the boiler,
weighing three tons, for a di-tance of two-
hundred yards, rebounding twice from the
ground iu its passage. The boiler and en
gine house is a perfect wreck, though much
of the machinery can be saved. The second
boilot- was driven through a thick partition
wall into the mill. Some of the dwellings in
the vicinity were damaged by the flying
masses of brick and iron, but none seriously.
The engineer, David Hantsh,was found dead
in a corner of the house. The body of an
operative named Valentine Myers was sub
sequently taken out of the ruins crushed
and mangled. Superintendent Plumber was
mortally wounded,, dying r bout twelve o'
clock from his injuries. 'I he fireman and
overseen and seven female operatives were
severely injured some of them it is thought
fatally. The cause of the accident is not
known.
Attempt at Mitrderand Robbery:
Several blood-thirsty attempts at murder
and robbery have been recently perpetrated
in the vicinity of Norfolk and Portsmouth
by parties of negro highwaymen. The last
was a farmer named Oakum, while on his
way to Portsmouth. About five miles out
his wagon was stopped, and he was set upon
by two negroes, who stiuck him on the.
head with a heavy iron instument, and af-.
forwards inflicted similar wounds about the
body. They then robbed him of all his
money and valuables and made their escape
into the woods. Not long after the occur
rence Mr. Oakum was picked up by per
sons in the neighborhood and carried to Hs
home, where he now lies in a precarious
condition. The authorities started a posse
in pursuit, and the most energetic measures
have been taken to effect the capture of the
villains.
The eight hour law, recently adopted by
the Wisconsin legislature, went into effect
on the 4th instant. Thus far it has made
no change, as the working-men prefer to
work in the old style of ten hours per day,
rather than the new at a proportionate re
duction of wages.
The Death of Dr. Livinoston Cos-eirmed.-
All doubt - as to the fate of Dr.
Livingston, the explorer, appear to have
been removed. Dr. M oiler formerly a mem
ber of the Livingston expedition, has arriv
ed at Capetown, an i pronounces the stare
mentof hisderth authentic. The Time ol
India, of M.iy 23d, says hopes raised of his
safety have been disje!!ed, and "there can
no longer be any doubt that he was killed
by a favage of the Mafite tribe." Previous
accounts as to the manner of his death are
substantially confirmed. The three Mafites
were armed with bows and arrows, and
other weapons, and they immediately com
menced hostilities. Evidently the men must
have losed on the doctor, when, finding
matters desnenue he drew his revolver and
sht two of hi aaiiaits. - But while thus
disposing of the two, the third managed to
get behind Dr. Livingston, and with one
blow iroui an axe clove in his head. The
wound was mortal, but the assassin quickly
met his own doom, for a bullet from Moosa's
musket passed through Ids body, and th
murderer fel. dead beside his victim..
Tue Reconstruction Veto. Attorney
General S tannery authorizes the statement
to be made that the veto prepared lor the
reconstruction bill of last session was never
used by the President, who, after it was
given to him. sent for Judgt Biat-k, who
was Buchanan's Attorney General, and who
officially notified the South that there was
no power to coerce a State, and asked hi in
to prepare another veto; that JuJge Black
did write another vcio menage which was
sent into Congress, and which oitcuded At
torney General S ttubery, so that it came
ritr leading to an open ruptuie w;th Mr.
Johnson, he having sj-okeu his mini to the
President veiy fully oo the subject. In the
opinion recently promulgated by Attorney
General Stadbery, Le claims that be takes
the same gronnd as the veto he had pre
pared on the bill.
The Washington Chronicle states that a
reciprocity treat- highly advantageous to
the United States has been concluded be
tween our Government and that of the
Hawaiian Islands. It adds that this treaty
is regarded by competent persons as the
first step toward the acquisition of these Is
lands by our Government, with (he l'r0:S"
pect of securing the virtual control a the
trade of the Pucifie. The present King of
the Islands is not married, and has no rela
tives entitled to succession. It is, there
fore, expected, that with his death, the roy
al house will become extinct, and the Inde
pendence of the Inlands cease.
At Terre Haute, Indiana, a few days
since, three little children came to an un

dren. The two elder, while playing about
the woods, were bitten by a venomous
snake, ami their scieams attracting the at
tention of the mother, she hastened to their
relief, t hough rlessly leaving the smallest
child, which, during her absense. fell into the
creek and was drowned. Theother children
died the same u'ght fiom the effects of the
snake bite.
